Chapter 0212: The Battle of Xuchang
Peng Yu, Dian Wei, and Guo Jia led more than 10,000 cavalry to Xuchang.
Lu Bu naturally guarded the Wuguan, although Lu Bu also wanted to go on the expedition, but Guo Jia's words made Lu Bu smile and accept it happily.
Lu Bu guarded Wuguan, of course Peng Yu was relieved, you must know that in history, Lu Bu guarded the tiger prison, and the princes of the Eighteenth Road still had nothing to do, and it was of course easy to guard Wuguan.
In fact, it is not easy for Lu Bu to guard Wuguan, you must know that what is left in Wuguan is the Yellow Turban Army that has just surrendered, since these can surrender to the Han army, of course, they can also rebel again, but Guo Jia seems to have great confidence in Lu Bu, and Lu Bu is even more arrogant, even if he is left alone to guard the pass, he also feels that it is more than enough.
Peng Yu was originally going to divide half of the troops to Lu Bu, but Guo Jia thought that the team in Wuguanzhong who was willing to continue to follow the Yellow Turban had already left, and the rest were soldiers who really wanted to join the Han army, especially Bai Que was extremely attentive, and always regarded Zhou Cang as his role model, especially after serving as a deputy general, he was even more loyal, which made Guo Jia feel at ease with him.
And with Lu Bu's bravery, it must not be a big problem to suppress these yellow scarves.
Peng Yu knew that Guo Jia liked to take risks, and every time he made Peng Yu's brows furrow, but he had no choice but to leave Wuguan behind and stop thinking
Peng Yu led the army on the road to Xuchang!
Since Peng Yu led the army, he has been fighting everywhere, and he is even more experienced in tackling key problems and guarding the passes, and he seems to be able to capture it, but it is the first time to attack a city, and he can't help but feel a little nervous.
In Peng Yu's thinking, Xuchang, a thousand-year-old city and a fortified city, must be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, can he take it? Especially his senior brother Lu Bu didn't come, Peng Yu felt a little uncertain.
But it is imperative to attack Xuchang, when discussing military affairs with Guo Jia and wanting to choose one of the two with Dong Zhuojun, Peng Yu and Guo Jia both chose Xuchang in unison.
Peng Yu's choice was a bit selfish, after all, he had promised Tang Ji to find her family, since he chose one of the two to attack, under the premise of not affecting military affairs, Peng Yu of course chose Xuchang.
But the reason why Guo Jia chose Xuchang was not explained to Peng Yu, Peng Yu always wanted to ask if there was anything else to hide.
But Guo Jia seemed to have a very good conversation with Dian Wei, and the two talked and laughed along the way, so that Peng Yu couldn't speak, anyway, it wasn't a big deal, and after a journey, Peng Yu forgot to ask.
Guo Jia's interest is very high, and the movements of this army are all under Guo Jia's control, so Guo Jia laughs loudly from time to time, and seems to be confident.
Ancient city, Xuchang.
Peng Yu was stunned and looked at the dilapidated city in front of him, this, this is the ancient city of Xuchang, which has been famous for thousands of years?
You must know that Xuchang at that time was not the Xuchang of later generations, and even the name was not called Xuchang, but Xuxian!
It's just a super-large-scale county town, Peng Yu suddenly woke up, no wonder Dong Zhuo smiled so happily at the time, and treated Peng Yu so attentively, it turned out that Peng Yu handed over a big city Wancheng to Dong Zhuo, and he mobilized the people to attack the big county Xuchang!
Guo Jia's eyes flashed, looking at Xuchang, as if Xuchang was not guarding a yellow scarf but gold, and he was faintly excited.
Peng Yu shouted angrily, "Fengxiao, why does this city look so dilapidated?" ”
Guo Jia's contemplation was interrupted by Peng Yu, and he seemed quite unhappy, and shook his face, "This is a mere county, and it has been occupied by the yellow turban for a long time, how can there be a reason not to be ruined?" ”
Peng Yu glared at Guo Jia angrily, "How can this be reasonable, then why did Feng Xiao let me wait for this place to attack?" But put the big city in the hands of Dong Zhuo? ”
Guo Jia dismissed, "Wancheng is ten times larger than Xuchang, and the Yellow Turban soldiers are more generals, how can Dong Zhuo take it?" ”
Peng Yu was stunned and pointed at Guo Jia, "Why did you let Dong Zhuo go?" ”
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had missed his mouth, but Peng Yu asked and didn't answer, "General, Dong Zhuojun has already been offended this time, and he will definitely retaliate in the future, since this army is controlled by us, it is better to eradicate this to prevent future troubles!" ”
Peng Yu looked at Guo Jia dumbfounded, and thought to himself, does this surnamed Dong have a hatred for taking his wife? Otherwise, how could this Guo Jia want to kill Dong Zhuo again and again?
After a period of getting along, Dong Zhuo sang praises to Peng Yu every day, making Peng Yu very comfortable in the clouds every day, and he still felt a little indebted to take away Dong Zhuo's 20,000 horses, how could he have the heart to kill Dong Zhuo's entire army because of some trivial things?
Peng Yu frowned and was about to lecture Guo Jia, but Guo Jia's eyes flashed, "General, Dong Zhuo attacked Wancheng, and the victory or defeat was all determined by his own strength, and Fei Jia wanted to cure his death." ”
Peng Yu was helpless, what he said was also the truth, he originally chose one of the two to attack, Wancheng is a big city, naturally there are more Yellow Turban soldiers, and Xuchang has fewer soldiers, but it is a small city, all of them have their own gains and losses, and it is not possible to talk about Guo Jia's design to harm Dong Zhuo.
Without waiting for Peng Yu to ask again, Guo Jia pointed at Xuchang and said with a smile, "General, although this city is broken, there is something inside." ”
Peng Yu thought that Guo Jia knew the actual purpose of attacking Xuchang, and said with a dark face, "That's natural." ”
Peng Yu, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei led more than 10,000 troops to Xuchang City for a long time, but they didn't see a single soldier in the city, Peng Yu wondered in his heart, what is the situation?
Guo Jia looked at Xuchang for a long time, turned his head and hugged his fist at Peng Yu and smiled, "Congratulations to the general for taking Xuchang, the general, please come in!" ”
Peng Yu frowned, this hasn't started to fight yet, how can he let himself in, but Xuchang is city gate is wide open, but there is not a single soldier.
Peng Yu was quite strange, and when Guo Jia explained, Peng Yu understood why Xuchang was like this.
It turned out that when the Yellow Turban Army transferred troops to Wuguan and Wancheng, Xuchang was already extremely empty, and there were less than 3,000 Yellow Turban Army stationed there, and when Peng Yu took Wuguan, Xuchang was even more panicked, and everyone felt that the day was precarious, and they fled to Puyang, so Xuchang almost became an empty city.
Of course, there are still Yellow Turban soldiers in Xuchang City, but there is no lack of loyal ministers and righteous men in Xuchang City, when the Yellow Turban Army is stationed in Xuchang, they have to make a false accusation in order to protect themselves, but when the Yellow Turban troops are scarce, these loyal ministers and righteous men plus the wealthy family can not sit still, of course they have to rise up to resist.
Finally under the leadership of the three people, these scholars rose up and launched a fire fight with the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban was panicked, and the result of this fight was naturally that the Yellow Turban fled and defeated Puyang, so Xuchang is now the situation in front of Peng Yu, in tatters, and there is an empty city.
Guo Jia was originally from Yingchuan County, and studied in Yingchuan, so he knew the situation around Yingchuan well, when the scouts sent by Guo Jia entered Xuchang, and then discussed with his old friends to start an incident in Xuchang on his own, in order to seek Xuchang to stand on his own, so that Peng Yu could take Xuchang directly without bloodshed.
The battle of Xuchang has not yet begun, it has ended, and it can not waste a single soldier, of course, Peng Yu is overjoyed, but when Peng Yu entered Xuchang and then followed Guo Jia to Yingchuan, he finally understood why Guo Jia was so interested in Yingchuan, especially the three people who led the counterattack, only let Peng Yu shout "Xuchang has no yellow scarves, but there is really gold!" ”
