Five days later.
Ye County.
The hot weather is gone forever with the arrival of October.
The continuous drizzle, accompanied by the cold wind, heralds the coming of winter.
A burst of hearty laughter came from the main tent of the military camp outside Ye County.
"Hahaha!"
Xu Huang, wearing armor, raised his head and laughed.
"Jiangdong is really attacking Jiangling!"
Although it was a few days later than expected, Jiangdong was rare and did not betray his alliance.
"Zhongda, should we send out troops? Attack from both sides, take back Nanyang, capture the land of Xiangfan, and return the nine counties of Jingxiang and Wei to the control of Wei!"
Xu Huang wants to get everything back for what he lost in the Battle of Chibi!
Sima Yi was wearing a Confucian robe, and his face was very calm at the moment.
"Has Jiangling been defeated?"
Capture Gangneung?
Xu Huang shook his head and said: "Jiangling is a fortified city and it will not be easy to capture. However, it is certain to attract Nanyang troops to support Jiangling."
Sima Yi asked: "Has Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, gone to Jiangling?"
Xu Huang nodded heavily.
"That cunning man has gone to Jiangling to help. The useless flying army he brought from Wuling has also gone to support. I heard that half of the troops in the three counties of the East have been taken to Jiangling."
His Wei state was defeated again and again in Xiangfan and Nanyang, and it was inseparable from Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong.
Xu Huang was more afraid of Liu Chan than of Guan Yu.
Although Guan Yu has courage that no man can match, at least he will confront you head-on.
As a battlefield fighter, I, Xu Huang, may not be my opponent, but I am not afraid of any conspiracy in Yun Chang's belly.
And if he faced Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, he would not only have to consider killing him on the battlefield, but he would also have to be on guard against Liu Gongsi's vicious schemes at any time.
Comparing the two, he would rather face Guan Yu!
"Is the news accurate?"
Xu Huang nodded.
"There are people in Nanyang who are involved in the school affairs office, and some Nanyang powerful and noble people are actually just pretending to surrender to Liu. The news has come that Liu Gongsi has gone to Jiangling to support."
Sima Yi nodded.
"It seems that Sun Zhongmou cannot defeat Jiangling City."
Xu Huang smiled softly and said: "That's not necessarily the case. If we can capture Wancheng, then the crown prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gongsi, will definitely have no time to worry about himself. Jiangling City and Jiangdong may not be able to be captured by then."
Even if Jiang Dong couldn't be defeated, Xu Huang would still do it.
"Zhongda, without further ado, we should raise our troops and capture Duyang today. Tomorrow we will drive straight to Bowangpo and capture Wancheng. Then the great event in Nanyang has been decided!"
Sima Yi nodded slightly and sighed lightly, with a look of pity on his face.
"With Mr. Liu here, Marquis Shouting of the Han Dynasty does not need to rush to Jiangling. If Guan Yu also goes to Jiangling, the battle will be more certain."
When facing Guan Ping or facing Guan Yunchang, who is easy to beat and who is difficult to beat? Isn't it clear at a glance?
"With me, Xu Huang, how can Yun Chang dare to go to Jiangling?"
I, Xu Huang, am eyeing me in Ye County. At this time, I am leading my troops to support Jiangling. Are you not taking me, Xu Huang, seriously?
"Perhaps we can wait a few more days, wait until the battle in Jiangling reaches its peak, and lure Yun Chang away, then we can send troops to Wancheng?"
When Sima Yi led his troops into battle, he always put stability first.
Anyway, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
Let Sun Zhongmou and Liu Gongsi fight with each other until they bite off a piece of hair.
If Guan Yunchang can be lured away, then the hope of taking Wancheng and regaining Nanyang will be even greater.
"No."
Sima Yi's plan is certainly beneficial to Wei, but Sun Quan is not a fool either!
Jiangling has already sent troops to attack. If he does not move and the news reaches Jiangling, will Sun Quan allow Wei to reap the benefits?
Maybe the troops would be withdrawn on the spot.
Sun Quan's integrity cannot be trusted at all.
Furthermore.
The rats from Jiangdong can betray their alliance, how can we, Wei, betray our alliance?
"According to the covenant, we can't break our promises. What's more, if we don't attack, then Yun Chang will leave? I'm afraid that's not the case?"
He Xu Huang Chen Bing border, regaining the heart of Nanyang, it is obvious, how can Yun Chang not be on guard?
Even if he delayed sending troops for ten days, Yun Chang would not retreat.
With Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, in Jiangling, there is no need to worry about it. Why does Guan Yunchang need to be used?
"That's fine."
Sima Yi thought for a while and could only nod.
"The prince can send troops."
"good!"
The two had the same opinion, and Xu Huang stopped talking nonsense. He immediately ordered the dispatch of troops, and the army in the camp immediately began to move.
Make rice at the fifth watch.
Early the next morning, Xu Huang led his army into the Nanyang Basin.
Pass through Juancheng and drive directly to Duyang.
Duyang is a small county.
Although it was the place where the Zong family started, the city was short and made of loess. It would be difficult to defend it if a large number of troops were stationed there, so outposts were only placed as a warning.
And when the Wei army scouts cruising in the distance arrived at Duyang, more than a hundred defenders in the city immediately left on horseback.
They only need to spread the news of Xu Huang's troops to Bowangpo and Wancheng.
A big war is about to begin!
...
In Bowang Slope, Guan Ping listened to the sentry cavalry returning from Duyang, with a look of eagerness on his face.
Xu Huang is finally here!
Guan Ping is in Bowangpo these days, waiting until the flowers are about to wither.
Every day he was either repairing the city or building a camp.
I, Guan Ping, was a fighting general on the battlefield, why am I now an engineer?
Xu Huang, you came at the right time!
He was immediately eager to attack.
Zhao Lei, the grain officer, stood up at this moment and said: "The general has a body of gold and cannot take risks. Moreover, Jiangling is under attack and His Highness has sent troops to rescue him. I will wait in Wancheng and focus on defense until Your Highness defeats Jiangdong." Sun Quan, come back to help, and Wei general Xu Huang will be vulnerable to a blow."
Waiting for His Highness to come back?
Doesn’t this mean that I am incompetent?
Guan Ping snorted coldly and said: "It's just Xu Huang, why do you care? Let me take his life!"
Hou Yin stood up at this time and said: "General, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Let the last general go meet Xu Huang and chop off his head for the general?"
you?
Guan Ping looked at Hou Yin, feeling a little hesitant.
Hou Yin's military strength is indeed good, but he is no match for Guan Ping. So Xu Huang is a general of Cao's army. Will he be his rival?
"No."
Guan Ping shook his head and said: "If Xu Huang dares to come to fight, his opponent will be me. If he doesn't have the courage to come forward, you will conquer for me!"
"promise!"
Facing Xu Huang, Hou Yin actually felt a little guilty.
But as a general, how can you be timid before fighting?
Even if you are defeated, you still have to charge forward.
Death on the battlefield was originally the fate of his generation of generals!
But now that Guan Ping gave him a step to go down, he walked down the step without losing the reputation of being brave.
"If Xu Huang dares to come, I will order three thousand soldiers to leave the city and confront him!"
The defenders did not just huddle within the city.
If the enemy can be defeated in a field battle, then why defend the city?
More than a thousand war horses line up. If a general emerges victorious and is full of morale to cover up the enemy, victory will be in sight.
The military order was issued immediately, and everyone in the tent also performed their duties and prepared for Xu Huang's upcoming attack.
Whether it’s tools for defending the city or going out to fight, you need to be prepared!
"General Hou, aren't you going to prepare for war?"
Why did you, who wanted to fight just now, stay in the tent now?
Hou Yin lowered his voice and whispered: "General, this time Xu Huang came to attack the city, and His Highness went to Jiangling. Nanyang is empty. The general asked Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun to guard Wancheng, in case they..."
Hou Yin didn't finish what he said, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.
Guan Ping looked at Hou Yin and said categorically: "Don't worry, I know the loyalty of Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun. Don't disturb the morale of the army!"
Since His Highness believes in these two people, what reason does Guan Ping have not to believe in them?
If Kuang Zongziqing and Dongli Gunzhen surrendered, his father Guan Yu would guard the military camp at the rear of Wancheng, and he would guard Bowangpo. Even if Wancheng rebelled, he would be under heavy siege, and there were still guards in the city.
No worries.
His Highness is wise and mighty, so he has naturally taken everything into consideration.
"promise."
Seeing that Guan Ping had no doubts in his heart, Hou Yin had no choice but to hide his worries in his heart.
I hope those people really sincerely surrender!
It doesn’t matter what His Highness did after taking Nanyang.
He directly exempted him from one year's oral tax and calculation of tax, killed the unworthy ministers, and then gave all the property of the servants to him and these meritorious ministers.
After being rewarded with real benefits, how could he, Hou Yin, not be grateful to Liu Chan?
How not to support Liu Chan's rule and interests in Nanyang?
The interests of the two of them have long been deeply bound together.
...
"The front is Bowang Slope."
Xu Huang looked at the continuous military strongholds in front of him and the small town of Bowangpo, which was guarded by three military strongholds. He held his hands tightly and showed some fighting spirit in his eyes.
"It's indeed a good place to ambush."
Sima Yi, wearing black light armor, reined in his horse and stepped forward, side by side with Xu Huang.
There are many trees in front of Bowang Slope and the valley is quiet, making it a good place for an ambush.
In the seventh year of Jian'an, Liu Biao attempted to take advantage of Cao Cao's northward attack on Yuan Shang to attack Xudu, so he sent Liu Bei to lead the attack.
Liu Bei then sent troops to the Northern Expedition and fought all the way to Ye County, which was close to Xuchang and seriously threatened the security of the Central Plains.
Cao Cao mobilized generals Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and Li Dian to counterattack Liu Bei. Liu Bei retreated his line and chose to confront Cao's army at Bowang.
Liu Bei deliberately sent a small number of troops to fight Xiahou Dun, and deliberately retreated, and then burned his army camp. This led Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin to pursue him. When they entered the narrow mountain road in the forest, the ambush arranged by Liu Bei suddenly came out. Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin were unable to respond and were ambushed. Liu Bei's army, Zhao Yun, captured the enemy general Xiahou Lan alive in this battle.
If Liu Bei didn't have enough troops at that time, he could even directly kill Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin.
With such stories, Xu Huang and Sima Yi were cautious along the way. They first sent out vanguards to sweep the surroundings, and sent out sentry cavalry ten miles away. Finally, they arrived at Bowang Slope without any danger.
Zhi acridine~
When Xu Huang's army arrived, he was just about to set up camp and repair it before attacking the city again tomorrow. Unexpectedly, in the small town of Bowangpo, the city gate opened and thousands of troops poured out.
A simple square formation. In the front row are shield soldiers holding human-high shields. Behind the shield soldiers are spearmen holding spears, followed by spearmen and archers.
More than a thousand cavalry troops were on both sides of the phalanx, ready to charge at any time.
"The thief general is so brave. When he sees my army coming to cover him up and kill him, he doesn't want to defend the city and wants to fight with me in the field?"
Xu Huang immediately stepped forward and said, "I would like to go up and have a meeting."
Sima Yi opened his mouth, but in the end he remained silent.
Before the battle, the enemy invites the generals to fight. If you don't dare, it will hurt your morale.
Xu Huang's fighting prowess is impressive. If Guan Yunchang hadn't come personally, his life would not be in danger.
Besides, when it comes to fighting generals, Xu Huang has never been afraid of anyone!
Xu Huang led his elite troops, who were also arranged in a square formation. He drove his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
Drive~
Guan Ping clamped his legs on the horse and drove it forward. He raised the spear in his hand, pointed it at Xu Huang and shouted loudly: "I am Guan Ping! Xu Huang, the thief general, do you dare to fight with me right away?"
Just Guanping?
Xu Huang had a look of disdain on his face.
"Young general Guan Ping, you are worthy of fighting with me? You are a young man, it's better to let me come to you!"
"you!"
Being provoked by Xu Huang, Guan Ping's eyes turned red instantly, and he immediately rushed forward.
"What is the prince talking about, Guan Ping? I have never heard of his name. People like these who sell their heads by inserting bids will let the future come to take off his head for the prince!"
Lu Jian, the deputy general of the Wei army, immediately rode forward with a spear in hand.
Look down on you, Grandpa Guan?
Guan Ping didn't waste any time. He immediately waved his spear and charged forward with his horse.
"Grandpa Guan will die for you!"
Guan Ping, holding a spear and riding on a horse, started a fierce battle with Lu Jian, the deputy general of the Wei army.
He has a tall and straight posture, sharp eyes, and is wearing armor, like a tiger on the battlefield.
The war horses stamped their hooves and galloped across the battlefield, causing dust to fly. Guan Ping held the horse's reins steadily, and the spear danced in his hands, cutting through the air and making a sharp whistle. His body is strong and flexible, and every attack is full of power and accuracy.
"Young general, don't be so arrogant!"
Lu Jian, who fought against him, was also extremely powerful. He held a spear and rode a war horse, showing excellent fighting skills in the fierce duel.
The two of them were going back and forth, their moves were exquisite, and the light and shadow of swords were intertwined, which made the soldiers on the field applaud again and again.
The spears crisscrossed in the air, and the blades made a sharp metallic sound when they collided.
Guan Ping was very agile and attacked his opponent's defense quickly and accurately, sometimes stabbing at vital points and sometimes slashing hard. His marksmanship is as smooth as clouds and water, and every attack is full of power and skill.
Not to be outdone, the deputy general of the Wei army fought back with all his strength, and with guns flying, he had a fierce battle with Guan Ping.
Their horses galloped in a staggered manner, and their bodies intertwined in the air, showing breathtaking fighting skills and skills.
Dang Dang Dang~
After dozens of rounds of fighting, Guan Ping also figured out Lu Jian's approach.
He roared angrily: "Hey! Thief general, come and take him to death!"
Guan Ping's spears were sometimes soaring like dragons and sometimes flashing like lightning. The offensive was continuous, forcing the Wei army's deputy general Lu Jian to retreat steadily.
Dare you look down on me, Guan Ping?
With your skills, are you qualified to say this?
Guan Ping's eyes were firm and his whole body exuded unstoppable fighting momentum.
"General Lu is no match." Sima Yi had already seen it from the side.
Xu Huang snorted coldly and said, "What's the point of bullying my deputy? Are you willing to fight me for three hundred rounds?"
Xu Huang raised his long sword and moved forward, charging towards Guan Ping.
"Bah! You're so shameless, but you still want to hit more with less? Are you trying to deceive no one in our army?"
Hou Yin cursed angrily and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
He was originally going to fight Xu Huang, but Guan Ping shot Lu Jian away with a shot, and then shouted at Hou Yin: "Leave Xu Huang to me, and you will deal with this defeated general!"
After saying that, Guan Ping immediately rode up to meet Xu Huang.
Dang Dang Dang~
It's really like the tip of a needle versus Maimang, Guan Yu versus Qin Qiong.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, but they were evenly matched.
This Guan Ping has already obtained the true inheritance of Guan Yunchang.
Xu Huang was secretly shocked, but the long knife in his hand cut harder.
This old dog really lives up to his reputation!
Playing against Xu Huang, Guan Ping also felt deeply pressured.
The two tangled with each other on the battlefield, their movements swift and precise. Spears and knives intertwined, and the light and shadow of swords intertwined in the air, making a harsh metal collision sound. They shuttled through the battlefield at extremely fast speeds, sometimes attacking and sometimes avoiding, showing excellent combat skills and reflexes.
Three hundred rounds passed, and the two were still tied.
Their horses panted, their armor soaked with sweat.
Huhehuhe~
Xu Huang breathed out white air, and the sweat on his body had already soaked his armor.
The two wanted to fight again, but Sima Yi had already ordered someone to blow the golden horn.
Woohoo~
As if he had found the steps and went down, Xu Huang looked at Guan Ping fiercely and said: "I will let you go today, and come back tomorrow to take off your dog's head!"
After saying that, Xu Huang rode back to the camp.
Guan Ping originally planned to cover up his army and attack, but when he saw that the Wei army was in a neat formation, he did not panic. After all, he did not have many soldiers. If he charged into the formation, he would be the one to die if he could not get in.
"Back to the city!"
Guan Ping made a prompt decision and led his army back to the small town of Bowangpo.
...
"If you don't think about Guan Ping, you really have a problem."
Xu Huang threw the long sword to the sword-carrying guard and jumped off the horse, feeling very emotional in his heart.
"The courage of Guan Ping is no less than that of Yunchang when he was young. No prince should underestimate his enemy."
After fighting for three hundred rounds and still not winning, is this called a failure?
"It seems that Bowang Slope is not that easy to capture."
Although Bowangpo is a small town, Guan Ping built three military strongholds around Bowangpo. The three military strongholds help each other. If one of them is attacked, the others will come to support. Even if it is to attack the city, I am afraid it will not work. You can't attack with all your heart.
Xu Huang looked at Sima Yi and said, "Contact Zong Ziqing and Dongligun quickly tonight. I will send troops to take a detour tomorrow to capture Wancheng first!"
Wancheng has been taken, what role does your Guan Ping garrison at Bowangpo still have?
The food route was cut off and there was only one way to retreat.
Sima Yi nodded slightly, but he said: "The king's body is rich, so he cannot take personal risks. When I go to Wancheng this time, I will lead three thousand soldiers."
you go?
The suspicion on Xu Huang's face was undisguised.
"What? I, Sima Zhongda, can't lead the troops?"
Xu Huang shook his head, with a strange look on his face, and said, "Would you be responsible for killing on the battlefield?"
"Why should I fight against the traitors when I have my own warriors to protect me?"
Sima Yi smiled softly and said: "Besides, if the three thousand men under my command can induce Guan Ping of Bowang Po to come out, wouldn't the general be able to capture Bowang Po?"
Using yourself as bait?
Xu Huang's eyes lit up.
"I didn't expect Zhongda to be so courageous!"
He recognized Sima Yi's talent, but now he actually dared to take risks himself. This was something Xu Huang didn't expect.
Take risks personally?
Sima Yi certainly had his own plans in mind.
First of all, if Wancheng can be captured, his dangerous move this time will be his first success!
Secondly, is it really too dangerous to lead three thousand troops?
Xu Huang was holding Guan Ping in check from behind. He couldn't escape even if he couldn't defeat him?
"Serving the king means risking one's life, so what?"
Sima Yi looked upright and awe-inspiring, which made Xu Huang admire him very much.
"It is a blessing for our country, Wei, to have such a loyal minister as Zhongda!"
...
That night.
In Wancheng.
Zong Ziqing received a secret report from Wei Ying.
A look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"The opportunity to make a difference is right in front of you!"
He was full of excitement. If he could attract Xu Huang's army and kill Xu Huang by surprise, then the war in Wancheng would be settled.
Dongli Gun also nodded, but there was no Zong Ziqing's excited look on his face.
The worry on Ying Yu's face was directly revealed.
"Ziqing, if we open the door and dedicate the city, wouldn't it be a big achievement?"
Open the door to dedicate the city?
The smile on Zong Ziqing's face gradually disappeared.
"Zizheng, what do you mean by this?"
Gongcao Yingyu directly showed his cards.
"Now that Prince Liu Gongsi of Hanzhong is being attacked from two sides by the Wei State Jiangdong, can he possibly keep Nanyang?"
Ying Yu took a deep look at Zong Ziqing and said: "Liu Bei can't compete with two states, so how can he be the opponent of Jiangdong and the eleven states of Wei? Even if the crown prince of Hanzhong has a clever plan, he can't compete with the national strength?"
He looked at Zong Ziqing seriously and said, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Ziqing, don't you want to become the Minister of Two Thousand Stones? Now this opportunity is right in front of you."
Subdue Wei?
Zong Ziqing looked at Dongligun with complicated eyes.
"In your heart, is this what Zizheng thinks?"
Dongligun nodded and shook his head. In short, he felt very complicated.
Subdue Wei?
Of course he did.
Hou Yin insulted his beautiful concubine, and it would be unworthy of a gentleman not to avenge him!
If he doesn't surrender to Wei, can he avenge him?
only...
After seeing Liu Chan's heroic appearance in Rang County, Champion began to question his decision again.
Wei and Jiangdong were indeed attacking Liu from both sides.
According to common sense, Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, has no chance of making a comeback.
but...
He is Liu Gongsi!
After entering Jingxiang, he was able to defeat Jiangdong first, forcing Sun Quan to sign a humiliating alliance, and then defeated Wei General Cao Ren, flooding seven armies. He also conquered the hearts of the Nanyang nobles in a short time and gained their support without spending any money. With a lot of effort, Nanyang was controlled in his hand.
How can such a person be treated with common sense?
Tangled!
Now Dongligun is very confused.
"I...I don't know!"
Ying Yu snorted coldly and said, "I don't know how much ecstasy soup that Mr. Liu poured into you, so that it changed your minds, but I only look at the present and my merits."
He responds with profit first.
As for loyalty?
If you give me a lot, I will be loyal to you!
Obviously, the contribution of dedicating the city at this moment was greater for him Yingyu.
After all, Wancheng was offered by Hou Yinwei Kaikai before. They knew the current situation and returned to the city without being questioned. They were already showing mercy to Guan Ping outside the law. How could they deserve any credit?
If the city is dedicated tomorrow, the credit will be real!
"Tomorrow I will present the city, and the prince of the palace will still be the governor of Nanyang in the future. Ziqing, you can be the minister of two thousand stones, and I can also be promoted. So, why not do it?"
Dongligun's eyes flickered, as if he was persuaded by Ying Yu.
Zong Ziqing snorted coldly and said: "Everyone scolds the Jiangdong rats, why scold them? It's because they are unfaithful and unrighteous people. They stab their allies in the back. It happens from time to time. An oath of friendship is not as good as a petty profit. However, a sage is How did you teach us? Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, this is the way of the sages!"
The way of the sages?
Ying Yu sneered and said, "Are there any saints in this world today?"
White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles.
Slaughter the city and surrender, exchange children for food.
This is an era of broken rites and broken music.
Why are Guan Yu's qualities so valuable?
Because in this era, there are too few loyal people like Guan Yu.
"Zong Ziqing, look directly into your heart, what do you want?"
what do you want?
Of course I want to be a high-ranking official with two thousand stones and honor my ancestors!
but...
surrender?
Then his eldest son, Ziqing, has become a duplicitous person?
"As long as His Highness is here, Nanyang cannot be lost!"
Zong Ziqing said categorically.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Ying Yu snorted coldly and said, "Your Highness is just a boy of more than ten years old. His hair has not even grown yet. You place your hopes on a boy. How can he defeat the encirclement of Wei and Jiangdong?"
He can do it!
Zong Ziqing thought in his heart.
But now, there is nothing more to say to Yingyu.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
"Master Fu, what choice do you make?"
I?
Dongligun was stunned.
"Let me think again, think again."
"snort!"
Ying Yu snorted coldly and said: "Now, it is no longer time for me to think about it. There is only one choice. Should I open the door to dedicate the city tomorrow, or should I be loyal to that Highness?"
"I..."
Zong Ziqing looked at Dongligun with burning eyes.
Looking at the eyes of deep expectancy, Dongli Gun quickly turned his eyes away.
"I am willing to surrender to Wei."
"Hahaha!"
Ying Yu laughed loudly and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. This is the choice that smart people should make. Ziqing, I don't want to fight you. I will give you another chance. If you find your way back, I'll just pretend that what happened just now never happened."
"snort!"
Zong Ziqing also became hardened.
"How can I, Zong Ziqing, be a duplicitous person? There is no need to say any more."
Ying Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes exuded a dangerous light.
"It seems that you are toasting and not eating as a penalty. If so, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He yelled: "Where is the swordsman?"
It turned out that a few days ago, since Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun met Liu Chan and returned to Wancheng, they explained to him that they wanted to use their time to gain fame.
At that time, Nanyang was under Liu Chan's control, so Ying Yu naturally agreed.
but...
Things are different now.
Liu Gongsi was surrounded from two sides by the Wei State Jiangdong, and the hope of victory was slim.
If we don’t surrender now, when will we wait?
After receiving the secret report from the Wei camp tonight, Ying Yu secretly brought fifty of his confidants to serve as swordsmen and axemen, just to see who dared not open the door to offer the city.
Unexpectedly, there is a Zong Ziqing who is not afraid of death!
Since you are not afraid of death, then I will let you die
"Where is the swordsman?"
Even after shouting twice, there was no movement.
Ying Yu felt strange.
Shouldn't they be ambushed outside the government office lobby?
Where are people?
"Where is the swordsman?"
Ying Yu refused to give up and shouted again.
"No need to shout."
The hall door was kicked open.
A clear voice came, and Liu Chan, wearing a brocade robe, walked slowly inside.
His eyes were calm, but when he looked at Ying Yu's face, he was filled with murderous intent.
"Subordinate, pay homage to Your Highness." Seeing Liu Chan enter, Zong Ziqing was so moved that he almost shed tears.
Your Highness is truly a god.
Appeared at such a critical time.
Your Majesty...Your Majesty?
Ying Yu's mouth opened slightly, and the expression on his face could be described as horrifying.
"Didn't you go to help Jiangling? Why are you in Wancheng?"
Dongli Gun's heart was also cold.
He quickly knelt down on the ground with his butt raised high.
"My subordinates pay homage to His Highness."
"hehe."
Liu Chan sneered and said, "Of course I went to Jiangling, but I also came to Wancheng."
Liu Chan looked at Ying Yu's frightened look and said, "No need to shout, I have already captured your swordsman outside the hall."
In fact, Liu Chan came to Wancheng yesterday.
His whereabouts are secretive, walking as Dou Xiao's friend, hiding from many eyes.
Now that he had received news from the Jianjun Division, he knew that Ying Yu had brought dozens of people into the government office, and that Wei Ying's secret report had already entered the hall. Liu Chan knew in his heart that there would be a good show in the government office hall today.
Seeing it now...
It's really a good show.
"You and I..."
When Yu's expression changed, he immediately knelt down and hit his head on the ground, making a loud noise.
"This subordinate realizes his mistake, and I hope His Highness will give him a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds!"
To commit a crime and make meritorious service?
Liu Chan sneered.
"It's not impossible to make meritorious deeds."
Is there still a way to survive?
Hope arose in Ying Yu's heart.
Clang!
Liu Chan pulled out the sword from his waist.
"Ask the sword in my hand. If he agrees to spare your life, I will let you take the blame and perform meritorious service!"
How can the sword spare my life?
Ying Yu felt strange.
He raised his head and what he saw made his eyes split open.
Liu Chan moved quickly and slashed towards Ying Yu's neck with his sword.
Your Highness wants to kill me!
Ying Yu wanted to hide, but he found that he was too slow and Liu Chan's sword was too fast.
With just one strike of the sword, Ying Yu's big head rolled down from his neck.
His mouth moved, but no sound came out. His eyes were wide-eyed, with a look of reluctance and fear emanating from his eyes.
I...
Should I die like this?
Phew~
Blood splashed all over Dongligun's body, and the latter trembled like chaff.
Bump bump!
Dongligun kept kowtowing, and he was extremely afraid.
Why did I change my mind at the critical moment?
What kind of person is Your Highness?
Is Wei Guo and Jiangdong attacking together, is he his opponent?
regret!
Now Dongligun only has regrets in his heart.
"Do you want to take the blame and make meritorious service?"
To commit a crime and make meritorious service?
Is it like Ying Yu's "dedicated crime and meritorious deeds"?
Dongligun burst into tears.
"I also ask Your Highness to spare your subordinate's life. I will work as a cow or a horse in the future without any hesitation. I was blinded by lard for a while. This subordinate... I am wronged!"
injustice?
What are you wronged for?
"snort!"
Liu Chan snorted coldly, and just as he was about to speak, Zong Ziqing next to him came forward to plead for mercy.
"Your Highness, the governor was not sincere in surrendering to Wei. He was just responding to Yu's pressure. He was really forced to do so. Kuang had always had great prestige in Nanyang. Your Highness killed him. He was afraid of the unrest in Nanyang. If you don't spare his life, let him Pay off the crime and make meritorious service."
Liu Chan didn't originally want to kill Dongligun, but now that Zong Ziqing came to persuade him to surrender, he just gave up.
"Since Ziqing pleads for you and seeing that you are not the principal culprit, I will spare your life. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. If you can't pay for your crime tomorrow and make meritorious service, what you are now will be what you will be tomorrow. The end!"
Gulu~
Dongligon swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was afraid, and he regretted it.
He could have gained His Highness's trust just like Zong Ziqing.
Can...
But why don’t I want to believe His Highness?
Dongligun knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Liu Chan.
At this time, Liu Chan's eyes were no longer on Dongligun.
Liu Chan took the secret report from Zong Ziqing. With a smile on his face, he said, "Just follow the contents of this letter."
What's in the letter?
Zong Ziqing was stunned.
"Put them into the city?"
Liu Chan nodded.
"Close the door and beat the dog."
He is very pressed for time now.
Wancheng also needs a big victory to stabilize people's hearts.
There are not a few people like Ying Yu who have both ends of the spectrum.
If there is no great victory to inspire people, I am afraid that turmoil will arise again in those places that have just surrendered.
This Sima Zhongda...
Liu Chan had long wanted to meet him.
"in addition."
Liu Chan looked at Zong Ziqing and said, "Tonight, go see General Xiaoguan and hand this secret letter of mine into his hands."
Liu Chan escaped from the inner pocket of his arms with a letter.
"promise!"
Zong Ziqing held the letter in his hands and immediately accepted the order.
"Without further ado, my subordinate will go to Bowangpo."
"good!"
Watching Zong Ziqing go away, Liu Chan looked at Dongligun and said with a smile: "Prefect, tomorrow will be up to you. If you can make a contribution, not only will I forget what happened tonight, but I will also forget your position as Nanyang Prefect." It won’t be peeled off, and there will be additional rewards.”
"Tomorrow, I will do my best. After tonight, I will have no second thoughts. I hope Your Highness will learn from it."
Dongligun smiled uglier than crying.
How dare he surrender to Wei now?
Do you think his life is not long enough?
Your Highness has come to Wancheng, what's the matter with Xu Huang?
"True or traitor, I only look at tomorrow."
After saying that, Liu Chan walked out of the hall slowly.
Outside the government office lobby, the smell of blood assaulted your nostrils.
"The four gates of Wancheng are under martial law. No one is allowed to leave tonight!"
"promise!"
Returning to his temporary residence in Wancheng, Liu Chan finally felt relieved.
He is not omnipotent either.
In a chaotic situation, if you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Liu Chan cannot afford to lose.
I can’t afford to lose even once!
pressure.
Wreaking havoc on Liu Chan.
"Your Highness."
In the house, there was a beautiful woman in thin clothes, who was coming forward with a copper basin of hot water.
"Let me serve your highness."
Zhang's beautiful eyebrows, jade cheeks and cherry lips make her a beautiful woman.
In particular, she is fat where she should be fat, and thin where she should be. Her slender hands are even more addictive.
The feeling is completely different from the screen.
This is Boss Cao's hobby.
Liu Chan can only say that there are indeed merits.
That Yu Wenze was really a loyal minister.
Great loyal minister!
After washing his feet and wiping his body, Liu Chan did not have sex.
Although the pressure was great, it was not severe enough to crush him.
Besides...
How long will this beauty last?
Now that we have sown seeds in a hurry, what if we give birth to an heir?
How can I be sure this is my bloodline?
There is no paternity test in this day and age.
Holding the beauty in his arms and smelling her body fragrance, Liu Chan slowly fell asleep.
...
The next day.
On the Wancheng tower.
Liu Chan, wearing fine armor and a sword tied to his waist, was standing on the tower.
Beside Liu Chan, Zong Ziqing was also standing.
Dongligun was wearing light armor and felt quite uneasy at the moment.
Tap tap tap~
There was constant smoke and dust outside the city, and not long after, a group of soldiers and horses bearing the Sima flag were seen stationed outside Wancheng.
"The gate of Wancheng is still not open?"
Sima Yi looked wary.
"Go and call the city open!"
"promise!"
Immediately a general came forward on horseback.
"Open the city gate quickly, our Wei army has arrived!"
Zhi acridine~
The gate of Wancheng slowly opened.
"The city gate is open, do you want to enter the city?"
Entering the city?
Sima Yi still felt wary in his heart.
"There's no rush, let Bailigun and Zong Ziqing come out to see me."
Your captain drove his horse forward again and shouted to the city: "Zong Ziqing, Dongligun, come out of the city quickly to see you."
This Sima Yi is indeed a tortoise.
Liu Chan looked at Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun and said, "Just leave the city, don't show any flaws."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, these thousands of soldiers and horses will be captured for Your Highness."
Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun went down to the city one after another, riding on war horses, and they ran out of Wancheng on two horses.
"Xu~"
Zong Ziqing reined in his horse and stopped in front of Sima Yi, with a look of impatience on his face.
"The secret report last night made it clear that he was going to enter the city, but now he doesn't dare to enter the city? Do you think there is a scam in the city? If you are suspicious of the two of us, will we come out of the city?"
"hehe."
Sima Yi had a look of humiliation on his face.
"You two, please don't be angry. How can I dare to enter the city without asking questions clearly? The safety of thousands of troops depends on me alone. I don't dare to be careless!"
"How are you doing now?"
The impatience on Zong Ziqing's face seemed to have reached its peak.
"We are here to present the city to ask for merit. If you don't believe it, then we won't surrender."
After saying that, Zong Ziqing reined in his horse and turned around, intending to return to the city.
Dongligun also followed Zong Ziqing's example.
"If you two dare to come out of the city, it means there will be no ambush in the city. I am willing to follow you into the city."
Sima Yi stepped forward and looked at Zong Ziqing and Dongligun carefully.
Suddenly, Sima Yi yelled.
"You are pretending to surrender. Don't I know? I got the news last night. Someone, come and capture these two!"
Fake surrender?
Zong Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, but he remained sullen and his expression did not change drastically.
Wancheng was under martial law last night, who could spread the news?
This is Sima Zhongda's bluffing plan!
I can't fall into his trap.
Zong Ziqing was calm, but Dongligun couldn't be calm anymore.
He was already feeling uneasy in his heart, but when Sima Yi roared angrily, he was so frightened that he turned his horse's head and ran away in the direction of Wancheng.
A guy who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!
Zong Ziqing almost broke his teeth.
Now you are running into the city, how can you survive?
Zong Ziqing hates that iron cannot become steel.
Now, he had no choice but to follow Dongligun and flee into the city.
Otherwise, stay here and become a corpse?
There is indeed an ambush!
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
If you don’t leave now, when will you stay?
On the city tower, Sima Yi felt quite regretful when he discovered that his Zong Ziqing and Dongli Gun had faked their surrender.
but...
Liu Chan would naturally not put all his eggs in the same basket.
There was a bang on the city and a loud noise from signal bombs. On both sides of Wancheng, ambush troops who had been waiting for a long time rushed out.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
...
The ambush had been prepared for a long time and they charged forward. The Wei army was surrounded on both sides and did not dare to resist at all, so they fled directly.
In Wancheng, thousands of cavalry rushed out. The long spears in their hands were the death sickles that harvested the lives of the Wei army's infantry.
Puff puff!
Suddenly, the three thousand troops led by Sima Yi suffered numerous casualties.
It's a pity that Xu Huang didn't come in person.
Liu Chan felt regretful.
"Let's see if Xu Huang comes to the rescue."
A big net has been opened, it depends on whether Xu Gongming can get in.
