On the tower of the east gate of Wancheng.
Jun Gong Cao Yingyu and Nanyang Gong Cao Zong Ziqing were standing on the city wall at this moment.
"I don't want this Hou Yinwei to act, he is really treason, damn it!"
The commander-in-chief Cao Yingyu's face was livid, and he looked even more ugly under the dim light.
Although Nanyang Gong Cao Zong Ziqing's face looked troubled, Wancheng was in danger, and it was the time for his Zong Ziqing to make contributions.
"At dusk, someone once delivered a message. It was said that Hou Yin would betray me today. I thought it was a lie. I didn't want it to be true. Unfortunately... I told the Palace Master, but he didn't believe it either!"
Today Hou Yin summoned his generals to prepare for an uprising, but the confidentiality work was not done well. At dusk, the news was delivered to Zong Ziqing. At that time, he reported it to Dongli Gun, the governor of Ming County, but was used by Dongli Gun. The four words "gossip" came back.
After Cao Ren requisitioned the people of Nanyang and had to transport grain and grass, the people of Nanyang became unpopular. People often said that Hou Yin was going to rebel.
The first time Dongli Gun believed the previous letter, but after several times, even if real evidence was put in front of Dongli Gun, he thought it was just a rumor.
Hou Yin must have been prepared and wanted to use this to confuse the county governor.
In no mood...
It was really done for him!
"Ziqing, what should we do now?"
Ying Yu was beginning to panic. Although he was in charge of all the affairs of the county and had the authority to control all the officials, he also had the power to promote and remove officials, and he had the most respectable position among the self-appointed officials in the county.
But the sudden turmoil had already made him lose his mind.
Having lost his opinion, he could only look at Zong Ziqing eagerly, hoping that Zong Ziqing would make up his mind for him.
"Zizheng, you immediately go to the camp outside the city, take trustworthy people, and go to the countryside to recruit people. Wait until I rescue the county guard from Hou Yin, and then make plans."
Go out of the city to gather troops.
He can still do this, but...
Your Zongziqing rescued the county governor from Hou Yin?
There was a look of disbelief on Ying Yu's face, and he said: "The prince of the mansion has been captured by the rebels. Unless the general raises troops to help, we will not be able to save Wancheng. We can't withdraw Xu with the strength to survive. Everyone, let’s make some plans.”
Zong Ziqing stared at Ying Yu, but Ying Yu's eyes dodge and he did not dare to look at Zong Ziqing.
"As officials of Nanyang County, how can we have parents who abandoned the city and fled? Don't you know the importance of Kuang Wancheng? There is absolutely no room for failure!"
Ying Yu naturally knows the importance of Wancheng. The key is...
No matter how important Wancheng is, it is not as important as my own life!
"Ziqing, I think if you and I go outside the city and bring the three thousand soldiers who will become the camp, we may be able to have a showdown with Hou Yin. The ownership of Wancheng by then is not yet known."
Zong Ziqing shook his head.
"Without the county guard, we can't mobilize the soldiers in the military camp. Our current plan is to rescue the master."
He looked at Ying Yu's slightly confused expression, shouted loudly, and said: "Why do you doubt it? This is the autumn of life and death! Time waits for no one. Please don't hesitate, go out of the city to gather troops, and send envoys to Xudu at night. Asking for assistance!”
"That's fine!"
Now that things have come to this, where can we retreat to?
Anyway, he was outside the city and was in slight danger, so he still had the option of running away. But Zong Ziqing, on the other hand, was in danger of losing his life at any time if he went deep behind enemy lines.
"Ziqing, take care!"
Ying Yu admired Zong Ziqing for not caring about life and death.
After saluting, Ying Yu did not hesitate and immediately ran away from the west gate towards the military camp outside the city.
Zong Ziqing had a determined look on his face. He patted the dust on his body. The hesitation in his eyes flashed and disappeared quickly.
In times of crisis, heroes can show their true colors!
If his eldest son Qing Hai can save Wancheng in such a desperate situation, he will be able to obtain the official position of two thousand stone heirlooms in the future.
Find wealth in danger!
Fight!
Zong Ziqing, escorted by the strong men beside him, slowly walked towards the door.
The east gate garrison brought most of the soldiers to the county governor's mansion to quell the chaos. Wei Kai took control of the east gate with only a little effort.
Now, the army from outside the city is being welcomed in!
Just as Wei Kai mounted the tall horse he had snatched and was about to run towards the military camp, a voice came from behind him.
"Wei Kai, do you want to rebel?"
Wei Kai turned around and saw that it was Nanyang Gong Cao Zong Ziqing. He was slightly panicked, but he quickly reacted.
What am I panicking about?
Now that I have a large army, how many people do Zong Ziqing have by his side?
Wei Kai had a ferocious look on his face.
"Zong Ziqing, are you here to die?"
"Hahaha!"
Zong Ziqing laughed loudly, as if he had heard some joke, with no fear on his face.
"I will die? Why die? Without me, do you think you can take the East Gate so easily?"
"ah?"
Zong Ziqing's words confused Wei Kai.
"What does meritorious service mean?"
Could it be that...
Zong Ziqing also wants to join in?
Too!
His family's property had also been squandered a lot by the King of Wei, so it was normal to have this intention.
"You are plotting a rebellion... Oh no, you are planning to rebel. Do you have a plan for your rebellion? You should know that there are three thousand defenders outside the city. They can reach the city in a moment. If we attack, your two thousand soldiers will be our opponents. "
Wei Kai laughed and said: "More than two thousand, the two villages and Wei tribes together have five thousand people!"
Five thousand people?
Zong Ziqing was shocked, but the expression on his face was still calm.
"Five thousand people are enough? How many tens of thousands of generals are there dozens of miles away? If you cannot capture Wancheng early and build fortifications to prevent the general Cao Ren from leading his troops to attack, what will you do today?" What's the effect? It's hard to escape death by then!"
Wei Kai heard what Zong Ziqing meant, and he quickly asked: "Then, if you have any advice, please ask me."
That’s what I’ve been waiting for!
Zong Ziqing smiled slightly and said: "You send me into the city and let Hou Yin release the prince. We are all from Nanyang and have the same roots. Why bother to make things difficult for each other?"
"good."
Wei Kai nodded.
"Nanyang is the Nanyang of us Nanyang people, not the Nanyang of King Wei. I will send someone to send you to the governor's house. If you can convince Hou Yin, that would be the best!"
Only when we unite will we be stronger.
Besides, he still doesn't know the news from the direction of Fancheng.
If the Shu army wins, that's okay. If it loses, and Cao Ren's army comes back to support, wouldn't Wancheng become a turtle in the urn?
At that time, one more friend will be more strength.
Wei Kai no longer hesitated and rushed to the camp outside the city with dozens of his men.
He wants to bring his team out, and...
If there were seven or eight thousand other sergeants in the camp to persuade them to surrender, it would not be impossible to hold Wancheng for several months.
Zong Ziqing, escorted by Wei Kaibuqu, headed towards the county governor's mansion.
Along the way, the doors of people's homes were tightly closed. From time to time, people stuck their heads out of the windows and looked at everyone with very vigilant eyes.
There seems to be a weapon in his hand.
Walking to the front of the Sheriff's Mansion, the fire turned the night into day. Screams, cries, and smashing sounds continued to be heard in the Sheriff's Mansion. The scene was extremely chaotic.
The Sheriff's Mansion was in chaos, and the gangsters in the city took advantage of the chaos to rush into the good family's house. They took advantage of the chaos to do things that they usually wouldn't dare to do.
The turmoil in the city has spread from the governor's mansion to the entire city.
Walking into the governor's mansion, there were soldiers guarding him. Zong Ziqing soon saw the high-spirited Hou Yin in the lobby of the governor's mansion, and Nanyang County, who was tied into a rice dumpling, with an extremely painful face and tears in his eyes. The governor of the county is Dongligun.
"Zong Ziqing?"
Hou Yin snorted coldly. On weekdays, this Dongli Gun was also disrespectful to him. Now he dares to come to the governor's house?
"Are you throwing yourself into a trap?"
Zong Ziqing laughed and said, "I'm here to save you, why should I fall into a trap?"
help me?
Hou Yin sneered and said, "Are you here to harm me?"
Zong Ziqing shook his head and said: "We are all from Nanyang. We are from the same hometown. How can we be more independent than outsiders? You are going to do something big and rebel against the King of Wei. Why don't you inform me first? I have already wanted to do this!" "
Have you had this intention for a long time?
Hou Yin looked at Zong Ziqing with suspicion?
"really?"
"Nanyang people don't lie to Nanyang people. Of course it's true. It couldn't be truer!"
Hou Yin looked at Zong Ziqing with a serious look on his face, but did not believe him just because of his words.
Zong Ziqing was thinking about strategies in his mind, and said sincerely: "Submit the people's will at a single step, and do great things, and watch the wind from far and near. However, it is useless to hold the commander in charge, so why not send him. My son and I jointly attack Cao Gong's army, and Guan Yu The soldiers have also arrived."
As soon as these words came out, Hou Yin's face was obviously moved.
"you're right!"
For the time being, he trusted Zong Ziqing a little.
"You said you wanted to help me, how can you help me?"
Zong Ziqing put down most of the big stone in his heart and said: "I went out of the city with the governor to recruit the army and refugees outside the city. We may have five thousand soldiers. Including the general's men, there will be as many as ten thousand. By then Whether it is defending the city or going one step further to control other counties in Nanyang, we are all capable of doing it, why would the general not do it?"
Makes sense.
but...
Can you still believe this Dongligun?
Just now, he had asked his personal guards to humiliate his concubine, and now Dongli Gun looked at him with a look of resentment.
This person is not trustworthy!
"You can go there with the governor's seal, and with the help of Wei Kai, you can also gather soldiers!"
After all, Hou Yin was not at ease with Dongligun.
"If there is no Palace Master, I am afraid that the appeal will not be strong, and the number of soldiers recruited will probably be far lower than expected."
"You can just go! I don't need ten thousand people. Three or four thousand people will be enough!"
With so many people here, does Wancheng belong to him, Hou Yin, or to your Zong Ziqing?
Want me to help you?
The credit for dedicating the city should belong to me, Hou Yin, not your Zong Ziqing!
Steal credit from me?
You are still a little young!
Of course Zong Ziqing didn't know what Hou Yin was thinking right now. If he knew, he would definitely want to kill him with a piece of tofu.
Competing for credit?
Who will compete with you for the city?
I want to make a contribution to the defense of the city, so that I can get a good face in front of the King of Wei, so that I can be reused in the future and become the shepherd of a state, which will not be a problem.
"General, please think twice!"
Zong Ziqing still wanted to persuade him to stay.
But the flashing light in Hou Yin's eyes was already dangerous.
"Is it possible that you came here to deceive me, rescue the governor Dongligun from outside the city, and gather troops to attack me instead?"
You really got it right.
Zong Ziqing felt a little guilty, but the expression on his face did not change. Instead, he said with an aggrieved look: "The general said this, which chills my heart. A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. If you don't believe me, you can kill me with one knife." Zong Ziqing has been beheaded, but the people from the same country can be killed. Let me see who else is willing to help you!"
Zong Ziqing's words made Hou Yin feel afraid.
He forced a smile on his face and said: "Gong Cao is too preoccupied. How dare I kill you? It's just that... the Sheriff must be in the Sheriff's Mansion, and he can't go anywhere!"
If he hadn't had a bad taste and let his subordinates personally insult Dongli Gun's concubine, he could have released Dongli Gun, but now?
impossible!
Because of Dongligon's hatred for him, he released this man, which must be a disaster!
"If that's the case, then I will take the county governor's seal and go to recruit local braves to help!"
"Okay, okay!"
Hou Yin enthusiastically stepped forward and took Zong Ziqing's hand, saying: "The people of Nanyang are united as one. Let me see what the King of Wei can do to me, Nanyang!"
When all the people in Nanyang rebelled, could you, Cao Mengde, kill all the hundreds of thousands of Nanyang people?
After receiving the governor's seal, Zong Ziqing left the city without further delay.
Without the governor Dongligun, he might not be able to gather many soldiers even if he has the seal of the governor.
but...
How could he be content without trying his best?
Today is the best opportunity for his eldest son to make a name for himself!
...
"Ten miles ahead is Wancheng."
Dong Heng was wearing armor and was now the commander of Guan Ping's army. He was familiar with the terrain of Nanyang and was sent to the front by Liu Chan to help Guan Ping manage Wancheng.
After a day and night of rapid marching, the soldiers were very tired. Even Guan Ping had a tired look on his face.
After two consecutive days without a good rest, even an iron man can't stand it.
but...
At this moment, time is the opportunity, and time is life. There must be no delay for even a moment!
"Go and tell the sergeants of the army to hold on for a while, and we will arrive in Wancheng soon. When we get to Wancheng, there are popular places to eat, spicy drinks, and women can also play. In short, we must get to Wancheng as soon as possible!"
The big pie is drawn first, letting the generals under his command squeeze out the last energy!
When you arrive in Wancheng, do you want anything to enjoy?
When the time comes, rewards will be given based on merit, and the soldiers under his command in Guan Ping will definitely be the ones with the most rewards in the army!
"promise!"
The general went to pass on Guan Ping's military order. As soon as the order was passed, the boys in the army immediately started to howl, and the previous sleepiness was simply swept away.
"General, Wancheng is a fortified city. If you want to attack it, you have to fight quickly. I know that they have garrisoned camps outside the city. If they steal the garrisoned camps outside the city first, Wancheng will definitely attack!"
There are indeed defenders in Wancheng, but they are not many.
Most of them are in military strongholds outside the city.
"very good!"
Although Guan Ping looked down on the surrendered general, since Dong Heng was sent by His Highness, he naturally wanted to give face to his brother-in-law.
Moreover, Dong Heng was really trying his best when he was by his side. Such behavior also made Guan Ping feel better about him.
"Prefect, why don't you lead your own troops and horses and go with General Dong to defeat the military stronghold outside Wancheng? I will lead the army to attack Wancheng myself?"
If you can allow me to attack Wancheng, that would naturally be the best.
Although Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to accept the order as the leader of the army was Guan Ping.
"promise!"
Immediately, Hao Pu took his four thousand troops and headed towards the military stronghold outside Wancheng with Dong Heng.
Guan Ping led the army alone and marched towards Wancheng at a rapid march.
Soon!
Soon!
Wancheng is just ahead!
and...
The fire in Wancheng was flickering, and he could see it clearly even from ten miles away.
It seems that Hou Yin really caused turmoil in Wancheng. He came from Guan Ping at the right time! !
...
Hao Pu and Dong Heng rushed forward and soon saw the Wei army's stronghold outside Wancheng.
It's just that there are people coming and going in this military camp, and there is a lot of noise, and it doesn't look like they are resting in the middle of the night.
On the contrary, it was like a roar.
"Should... fight or not?"
The deputy general next to Hao Pu stepped forward to ask.
"Let's talk about the siege of the general's stronghold. There must be chaos in Wancheng. There is a dispute among the troops. We will wait for the army to intervene. They dare not surrender!"
Not surrender?
Then kill them all!
Hao Pu followed Guan Yu on his expedition, and after His Royal Highness Liu Chan came, he won battles all the way.
Undefeated!
Once this battle is won, the morale will naturally rise.
After winning too many battles, he naturally felt arrogant in his heart.
Most of the heroes who are victorious in every battle are confident, even overconfident.
As Jingzhou soldiers surrounded the camp, the movement in the Wei camp outside Wancheng suddenly became smaller.
Lieutenant General Hao Pu drove his horse to the wall of the stronghold. He raised his sword horizontally and shouted: "Listen, my army of one hundred thousand people has arrived to cover up the enemy. Open the gate of the stronghold quickly and come to accept the surrender!"
If nothing else, you need to brag about this!
Although Hao Pu and Guan Ping together only have more than 10,000 people, it does not prevent them from launching a 100,000-strong army!
Scared to death!
really!
As soon as Deputy Hao Pu said this, the Wei army's stronghold suddenly became chaotic.
"Did you hear me? The general has been defeated. Yun Chang led the army commander to march straight in. If he is not surrendered now, when will he wait? Do you want to kill him?"
Wei Kai laughed loudly when he heard the noise outside the camp. His generals had already taken control of the entrance to the camp and were giving orders directly at this moment.
"Open the gate of the village and welcome Jingzhou soldiers into the village!"
"Wei Kai, do you really want to be a traitor?"
The generals who were loyal to Dongligun in the stronghold had angry expressions on their faces. Even in the face of danger, the expression on their faces remained unchanged.
traitor?
Wei Kai looked at the general who spoke with pity and said, "I think you are really not afraid of death?"
"hehe!"
When the two were arguing and almost fighting, Nanyang Gong Cao Zong Ziqing laughed and came forward and said: "We are all colleagues, why should we fight with each other?"
He walked up to Dongligun's trusted general, looked at him with eyes full of meaning, and grabbed his arm tightly with his right hand.
"Don't you understand, General? If we argue now, we will only die? A man born in heaven and earth, how can he die in vain?"
The Wei army general looked at Zong Ziqing with disdain and spat directly in his face.
"Zong Ziqing has no eggs and a scar as big as a bowl. What should I, Mr. Chen, be afraid of?"
He really can't be saved and is destined to die.
but...
For the sake of the overall situation, for his big dream of two thousand stone official position, what does this little grievance and humiliation mean?
"General Chen, your county guard is still in the city and his life is not guaranteed. If you die and the county guard has no soldiers, then death will be your only option. Do you want to kill the governor?"
Do you want to kill Fu Zun?
Chen Chang had a look of panic on his face.
"How dare I harm the life of the governor?"
"Since I am surrendering to save the life of the governor, how can I tell you clearly what will happen in the future?"
Zong Ziqing's right hand squeezed Chen Chang's arm so hard that it hurt. With that look in his eyes full of meaning, and the words Zong Ziqing said when he arrived at the tent just now, Chen Chang knew in his heart that if he fought now, he would just lose his life, and he would do it again. He killed his own royal family.
"Thank you, Gong Cao, for the tip. I finally understand."
With that said, he threw the ring-headed sword in his hand on the ground and shouted to Wei Kai: "I, Chen Chang, are willing to surrender, but... I am not allowed to harm the life of the Lord!"
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero!"
Just now Chen Chang spat on Zong Ziqing's face, and Wei Kai thought the situation had reached an irreversible point!
Unexpectedly, there is still a chance of recovery!
It seems...
This Zong Ziqing has indeed sacrificed a lot for our great cause in Nanyang!
Zong Ziqing wiped the thick phlegm and saliva off his face, and walked to Wei Kai's side with a smile on his face.
"General Wei, please welcome the Shu army into the stronghold."
"Extremely yes, extremely yes!"
Wei Kai and Zong Ziqing immediately led the village's lieutenant general towards the village gate.
Hao Pu and Dong Heng were riding on their horses, watching a group of generals in armor pouring out of the wide-open village gate. The two looked at each other and understood the situation.
The two men were dismounted.
"The last general Wei Kai, this is Nanyang Gong Cao Zong Ziqing, and this is the county general Chen Chang, I don't know who the two of you are..."
Wei Kai stepped forward, introduced the important figures in the camp, and looked at Hao Pu respectfully.
"I am Hao Pu, the governor of Lingling."
Hao Pu raised his head high, looking very arrogant.
Dong Heng smiled softly and said, "General Wei, you and I met in Wancheng not long ago."
"Who are you..."
Wei Kai had just seen Dong Heng and felt that he looked familiar. When he heard Dong Heng say this, he immediately remembered him.
"Are you the leading general, General Dong Heng Dong?"
Wei Kai was shocked.
"Yes, it's me."
Wei Kai's mouth opened wide. This Dong Heng was the leading general in Cao Ren's seven armies. Now he has surrendered to the Shu army. What does this mean?
This shows that in the direction of Fancheng, the Shu army has really gained an advantage!
And the Wei army must be defeated!
The expression on Zong Ziqing's face has changed drastically.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "General...oh no, Cao Zixiao was defeated in Fancheng?"
Lost?
Dong Heng sighed and said: "Not only was it defeated, but it was a great defeat. All the 50,000 troops became food for the fish and turtles in the Han River!"
Dong Heng simply told what happened in Hekou River, and Zong Ziqing was so shocked that he could not speak.
There was confusion in his eyes.
Originally, he wanted to buy time and wait for Cao Ren to return from the Hekou River, and then capture this group of rebels. With his eldest son Ziqing's great achievements, the dream of two thousand stone officials would surely come true.
But you tell me now...
Cao Ren was defeated?
And it was a huge defeat!
Then how can I defend Wancheng?
Zongziqing is suffering!
The ugly look on his face, as if he had eaten a few bites of Lao Ba's secret hamburger, could only be described as pain.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Zong Ziqing pretended to surrender, and when he heard that Cao Ren was defeated, he naturally felt uncomfortable, but Wei Kai really wanted to surrender. When he heard the news that the Shu army had won in the direction of Hekou River, he felt that there was no worries behind him, and he felt extremely happy. Others were even more tolerant. I couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, Wancheng has been secured. After repairing the armor, we will raise troops to attack Xudu and welcome His Majesty back!"
At this moment, Wei Kai felt that Hou Yin's decision today was so wise!
He has done a great job in presenting the city. If Wei Kai is in Nanyang County in the future, he will be a crab!
Just walk sideways!
"Since there is an uprising, I will not take away the soldiers in your hands. However, confusion and dispersion are unavoidable. We will reorganize them when the situation stabilizes."
"This is naturally the way it should be."
Wei Kai patted his chest, looking indifferent.
Reorganize it, reorganize it, no matter how reorganized it is, the position of general Wei Kai will be indispensable.
When Zong Ziqing heard this, the color on his face became a little ugly.
Reorganization?
If it is reorganized, can the soldiers under his command still obey his command?
Chen Chang's face also became a little ugly.
"What? Is it because you don't want to?"
Hao Pu looked at Chen Chang and snorted coldly.
"Of course I do."
Zong Ziqing laughed and stepped forward and said: "General Chen's soldiers were all brought here by him. Now that I have to separate from them, it is natural for me to feel reluctance in my heart. I also ask the prefect to forgive me."
"Hmph! Don't try to be clever. My army has arrived. If you have any ideas, just hold them back for me!"
When the Jingzhou army arrives, you have to be coiled up even if you are a dragon, or you have to lie down even if you are a tiger!
"Let's go! Go to Wancheng!"
Hao Pu, the deputy general and a thousand soldiers, stayed in the Wei camp to guard the surrendering generals, while he led Dong Heng and thousands of elite soldiers towards Wancheng.
at this time.
Outside Wancheng, Guan Ping's troops have arrived.
The city gate was closed tightly, Guan Ping shouted with a horizontal gun: "I am Guan Ping, please open the city gate quickly!"
Guan Ping roared loudly, and the soldiers in the city suddenly panicked.
"Go, let's roar together!"
Guan Ping asked his soldiers to come forward, and each of them shouted at the top of their lungs:
"General Guan Ping has arrived, please open the city gate quickly!"
"General Guan Ping has arrived, please open the city gate quickly!"
...
Hundreds of people roared at the top of their lungs, and even Hou Yin, who was in the governor's mansion, heard the noise.
Phew~
Hou Yin was covered in blood, and he pulled out the ring-shou knife from the pawn in front of him. The corners of his mouth cracked, and he smiled wildly: "You still dare to fight with trapped beasts? The Jingzhou soldiers have arrived, accept the surrender quickly. , I can still avoid a knife attack, if not, don’t blame me, Hou Yin, for my sharp knife!"
In front of Hou Yin, one after another rushed to kill the Wei soldiers. Their corpses were piled into a hill.
When the Wei soldiers surrounding Hou Yin heard the movement outside the city, they were already frightened and their defenses were broken.
Many people cried and shouted and threw their weapons on the ground.
There is the first, there is the second, there is the third...
After a while, the fighting spirit of the defenders in the city was gone, and Hou Yin let out a slow breath in his heart.
fine.
Made it through.
He turned around and looked back. Of the five hundred people he had brought, there were now only one or two hundred left.
More than half the loss!
They are all tough and good men!
Pity.
but...
Their sacrifice is worthwhile and valuable!
Hou Yin was in high spirits. Although he was injured several times and some of the wounds were still bleeding, he didn't care at all.
"Keep these surrendered soldiers alive while the others follow me out of the city to meet the Jingzhou generals!"
"promise!"
Hou Yin led dozens of people and headed directly towards the south gate.
The south gate of Wancheng is now controlled by Hou Yin.
The three thousand soldiers who had been ambushing outside the city swarmed in after the east gate was opened, and instantly took control of the four gates of Wancheng.
actually...
Even if Guan Ping is in the future, he can still control Wancheng.
certainly...
When Jingzhou soldiers arrived, he felt more confident.
Since the Jingzhou soldiers were able to cross the Hekou River and come to Wancheng, it means that the general Cao Ren was really defeated. The contents of the letter between Yun Chang and him were true and not bluffs.
Once the worries are gone, my heart will naturally feel at ease!
Going out of the east gate, in the night, the lights at the city gate were dim, but Hou Yin's eyes were immediately attracted to Guan Ping in front of him.
Guan Ping, who is riding a war horse and wearing red armor, is like an independent black shadow. He sat high on the horse, with a tall and straight body, and the cold light flashed on his armor, reflecting the stars in the night, demonstrating his majesty and fighting spirit.
Guan Ping's face is chiseled, and his angular jawline reveals a resolute temperament. His eyes were piercing, revealing his sharp gaze and determination. In the darkness, the twinkling lights in his eyes were like two stars, exuding an unshakable firmness.
His long and powerful arms held a silver gun, and the weak moonlight reflected on the gun barrel.
The war horses neighed in the dark night, and the sound of hooves echoed in the air. Guan Ping tightly grasped the reins of the horse and became one with the horse.
At this moment, Guan Ping's starry eyes were looking at Hou Yin not far away.
"Who are you?"
Hou Yin was covered in blood. It was conceivable that he must have gone through a brutal fight just now.
Guan Ping has always respected the mighty generals on the battlefield.
What's more, this person made great achievements and dedicated Wancheng.
He simply didn't waste any of his soldiers.
"I am Hou Yin of Wancheng!" Hou Yin's voice was loud and his eyes looked at Guan Ping, showing no humility at all.
Guan Ping jumped off his horse.
"Hahaha!"
He laughed first, then stepped forward and took Hou Yin's hand very kindly.
"General Hou has made great achievements, and I, Guan Ping, see it. Once the situation in Wancheng is stabilized, I will go to the King of Hanzhong to express my merits for you!"
He had seen this process of holding hands and talking cordially from his brother-in-law many times.
This time my hands were itchy and I couldn't help but come forward and do it again.
Tsk tsk tsk~
Seeing the admiration on Hou Yin's face, he finally understood the fun here.
"General Guan, please."
Guan Ping smiled softly and said, "It's better to let my army go in and clean up the city first."
Even if Hou Yin really started to cause trouble, he, Guan Ping, could not put his life in danger.
Lu Meng's story is right in front of you.
Anyway, Wancheng is already in hand now, so there is no rush.
Seeing Guan Ping being so cautious, Hou Yin nodded slightly and said, "I am not thinking carefully. There are indeed many disobedient people in the city. It will not be too late for General Guan to enter the city again after the army goes to clear them out."
"Thank you, General Hou, for your understanding."
Guan Ping took Hou Yin's hand and said, "I see that General Hou has suffered a lot of injuries. He really fought hard to kill the enemy today."
After hearing this, Hou Yin raised his head slightly and said very proudly: "I would like to teach you that twenty or thirty people will die on my sword today."
"Killing twenty or thirty enemies, you are really a fierce general! I think when I attacked Pound in Fancheng, I only killed forty or fifty."
Hou Yin's expression fell.
He looked at Guan Ping with a resentful look and complained in his heart: Are you bragging?
"Ahem."
Perhaps knowing that he was being too pretentious, Guan Ping coughed twice and quickly changed the topic.
"There is a good golden sore medicine in our army. It was made by the famous doctor Hua Tuo. It has the effect of flesh and white bones. General Hou may wish to give it a try."
"In this case, Hou is being disrespectful."
Guan Ping personally removed Hou Yin's armor. When he saw Hou Yin's injuries, there was admiration and admiration in his eyes.
"General Hou was seriously injured, but his expression remained unchanged. Guan Ping admired him."
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about. Hey, hey, hey~ be gentle!"
He can't be handsome for more than two seconds.
Hou Yin still wanted to pretend to be a hero, but the golden sore medicine made by Hua Tuo was so strong that it caused Hou Yin to frown in pain, and the iron-clad man almost cried.
Guan Ping snickered from the side.
Are you my opponent when you show off to me, Guan Ping?
Don’t you know who my father is?
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, unless his old father comes in person, who in the world can pretend to be better than him?
While Guan Ping was applying medicine to Hou Yin, the army led by Guan Ping slowly entered the city.
As soon as they entered the city, they first took control of the city's defenses. The main treasury was immediately heavily guarded and under control. The unrest in the city was suppressed as soon as possible.
Those gangsters who took advantage of Huo Huoliang's family were the first targets of the Jingzhou soldiers who entered the city.
In less than half an hour, the fire in the governor's mansion was put out, and the commotion in various parts of the city was stopped.
Guan Ping put on the armor for Hou Yin, and the relationship between the two became obviously much closer.
"That's it, it's time to enter the city."
"please!"
Guan Ping and Hou Yin entered the city together and quickly took control of the situation.
in this way...
Wancheng is now in the hands of the Shu army.
"Send scouts to the direction of Xudu. In addition, send envoys to Hekou River quickly to inform His Highness and my father that Wancheng has been conquered and we can send a large army to attack Xinye and Rangxian counties."
He only has more than 10,000 people under his command, so he can still defend Wancheng.
But if you want to radiate the entire Nanyang County, the troops will be a bit insufficient.
Besides...
After Wancheng has completely stabilized in the past few days, we can start planning for Xinye and Rang County.
After all, he directly crossed Xinye and Rangxian and drove directly to Wancheng. If Xinye and Rangxian could not be defeated, the food and grass would not be transported well. By then, he would be deeply surrounded and the only way to escape would be defeat.
Of course, Xudu also needs to be on guard.
Even if we can't march into Xudu, we still have to set up outposts along the road and military strongholds on the dangerous terrain!
Troop reinforcements must be made in time!
As for Xinye, it depends on the main force. Once it is opened, Wancheng will be completely in hand.
At this moment, as he stood in front of the already ruined Sheriff's Mansion, he felt a sudden pressure in his heart.
Now we just capture Wancheng, but it may not be that easy to completely digest Wancheng in our stomach.
However, he is the most stable when fighting in Guan Ping!
As long as there is a war, you must be prepared for a protracted war!
Cao Mengde, just come!
I'll take them all!
...
The next day.
In the military stronghold of Hekouchuan.
The traces of the flood have not been eliminated, but the military stronghold has been re-erected.
The prince's army was under Liu Chan's command, and the speed at which the city was built was unstoppable.
Even when Guan Yu saw him, he called him a good guy and took away several students from the Martial Arts Hall from Liu Chan's army.
Liu Chan naturally agreed to this.
Guan Yu will teach the students of the martial arts hall to leave, so naturally they will be reused.
When Liu Chan's martial arts hall has students all over the army, then Liu Chan, the principal, will be worthy of his name.
certainly...
Not only the Hekouchuan military stronghold was erected, but troops were stationed and fortresses were built in front of and behind the Hekouchuan military stronghold.
Zhou Cang stationed his troops in Yancheng, and Liao Hua stationed his troops in Sizhong: there were twelve stockades in front and behind, which were connected continuously.
Liu Chan and Guan Yu were stationed in Hekou Sichuan Military Village.
"Ah~"
Liu Chan got up from the bed, and Guan Yinping lay beside him.
Liu Chan knew that Nizi was in a good mood when he saw how she relaxed her brows and smiled in her dreams.
He stood up gently, not wanting to wake up Guan Yinping.
"Huh? It's dawn?"
Guan Yinping rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, looking very tired.
"It's almost three poles in the sun."
Liu Chan took Guan Yinping out of the sheets and dressed her himself.
"Thank you, husband."
Guan Yinping felt sweet in her heart, as if she had drank honey. She even changed her title. Now she was tired of acting coquettishly on Liu Chan. The heroine Yinping who was so heroic on the battlefield has now turned into a clingy little lady.
"You honeypot."
Liu Chan shook his head and said: "I guess the news that my uncle is in Wancheng will come today. There will be something to do soon, so get up."
Liu Chan patted Guan Yinping hard on the fleshy part.
Guan Yinping's cheeks turned red and she quickly stood up.
"So, there will be another war?"
Liu Chan nodded slightly.
"This battle is the battle that establishes Nanyang's ownership!"
Wancheng was captured, and it was indeed a nail in Nanyang County. Troops sent from Wancheng could directly drive Xudu. Cao Cao's core hinterland was in danger of being threatened at any time.
but...
If Xinye does not move forward, then Wancheng will be like Fancheng, just a lonely boat.
When Wei State reacted and surrounded it with a large army, Wancheng became Fancheng.
so!
We must open up new fields and open up food and military routes.
"Let's go."
Liu Chan and Guan Yinping left the camp.
Sure enough, the former general's personal soldiers came and informed Liu Chan to go to the Chinese army's main tent to discuss matters.
now.
In the main tent of the central army in the Hekouchuan Army Stronghold, Guan Yu was sitting on the main seat with a bright smile on his face.
"Ping'er really looks like me back then, and he is worthy of being my father-in-law, Guan Yunchang!"
Hearing that Wancheng had fallen, Guan Yu felt happy.
certainly...
The attribute of forcing the king cannot be lost. When praising Guan Ping, he also praised himself. Everything was so natural and smooth. The generals in the tent usually heard Guan Yu bragging too much. Listening to it now, it was the same. I think so.
A tiger father has no dog sons, so it should be.
"Your Highness, please take your seat quickly."
Seeing Liu Chan coming, Guan Yu stood up, welcomed Liu Chan to the top position, and sat beside Guan Yu.
"Your Highness, the news of Ping'er has arrived. Wancheng has been captured with the help of Hou Yin and Wei Kaixiang. Among them, there are more than 6,000 soldiers who surrendered to the Wei army. Plus Ping'er's generals, there are many people close to Wancheng. We have 20,000 people, so defending Wancheng shouldn’t be a problem. What should we do next?”
Guan Yu looked at Liu Chan with burning eyes, as did the generals in the army.
I don't know since when, Liu Chan has been working part-time as a military advisor in Guan Yu's army.
"Next step..."
Liu Chan's expression was very serious.
"The next step is in Xinye!"
