Chapter 142: Guo Xun is martyred
Ma Qiang left Duan Ying and asked the others to prepare first, and then asked, "The military advisor said before that he could let me fake the history of assassination, and now that the Yellow Turban Army has besieged Jixian County, what should we do?" ”
Duan Ying's eyes were full of confidence and said, "Please rest assured, Guo Xun also knows a thing or two, this person is the most important family, and he will not abandon the city and flee, as Ying expected, he will let his close people escape with the big seal, as long as one person leads a hundred horsemen to ambush in the west of the city, he will be able to capture!" ”
"Why Chengxi?"
"The road to the south has been cut off by the Yellow Turban, the only way to return to Luoyang is to go north or west, and the north direction is to take Wuhuan, Guo Xun and Wuhuan have a grudge, do not dare to take risks, and the Guo family is a big family in the state, so they will go to the state first, and then turn to Luoyang."
"It's a lot more convenient to have the big seal in hand, okay, anyway, even if you can't get the big seal, you won't lose anything, I'll go and let Yan Rou come."
——Ji County, Guangyang County, Youzhou
Outside Jixian County, tens of thousands of sergeants with yellow turbans are attacking the city with ants, the original blue-yellow city wall has turned purple and black, although the yellow turban army is weak and has few armor, but the number is more than ten times that of the defenders of Jixian County.
In the Assassin's Mansion, Guo Xun didn't seem to hear the sound of fighting outside, and sat peacefully in his position writing something.
"Envoy, the city can no longer be defended, at most half an hour, Jixian will be lost, please leave here immediately with the last general." Guo Yuan hurriedly broke in with a few sergeants, and saw that he was covered in blood, wearing a battle armor, holding a ring head sword, and there were two severed arrows on the battle armor, so he knew how fierce the battle was.
"I am the assassin of Youzhou of the Han Dynasty, this is where the governance is, where am I going?" Guo Yuan didn't raise his eyes, put away his pen, and then took out his big seal and covered it on the silk silk.
"Uncle! What time is it now! Come with me! Guo Yuan no longer talks about etiquette, and he will come to pull Guo Xun when he comes up.
"Bang!" Guo Xun picked up the bronze jue on the side and smashed it at him.
"I am a minister of the great Han, and I should keep the festival to the death, but how can I abandon the city and flee, as if I fled... Do you think the Guo family can still have a future? Saying that, Guo Xun handed him the silk silk and said, "Now that the Yellow Turban is in trouble, the party will not be solved in the future, and the Han in the future will inevitably be the Han of the scholar family, among the scholar family, the Yuan and Yang families are precious, and the one who can control the court in the future must be one of these two families."
I used to be subordinate to the Ten Standing Servants, but I have been in correspondence with the Yuan family, you take my letter, go to Luoyang to see Yuan Taiwei, although I die, but my brother he will be able to ascend to the position of Jiuqing one day, to keep my Guo family safe! ”
"Uncle !!"
"You remember, at all times, the family, is the first! This is my big seal, it can't fall into the hands of thieves, you take it to Luoyang, go quickly! ”
"No..."
Guo Xun watched Guo Yuan leave, pulled out his sword, and looked at it carefully, he had also been on the battlefield in the past, and he had quelled traitors, and he was definitely not a fake Confucian who was powerless.
At this time, Jixian County has been breached, as the shouting of killing is getting closer and closer, the sergeants guarding the Thorn History Mansion also scattered and fled, Guo Xun walked out of the Thorn History Mansion with a sword, and saw a pole erected in the direction of the Taishou Mansion from a distance, and there was a round thing hanging on it, take a closer look, what is not Liu Wei's head, and couldn't help laughing, "Actually ending up with such pigs and dogs, it's really ridiculous, ridiculous!" ”
With that, Guo Xun knelt down in the direction of Luoyang in the southwest, and killed himself with a sword.
In a storehouse, Zhang Sheng, Lu Ning and others are hiding here, which is the shop where Hongxingying sells goods in Jixian County.
"I'm a county lieutenant... Now he is hiding here, how can he explain to the court in the future. Zhang Sheng muttered anxiously, as early as when the Yellow Turban Army was besieging the city, Lu Ning pinched his ears and told him to flee here as long as the city was broken, otherwise she would knock out their children and save the trouble of remarriage.
Zhang Sheng has not had a son for so many years, and when he heard Lu Ning say that he had, he didn't know what the excitement had become, and he patted his chest and promised that he would definitely escape.
But after escaping here, Zhang Sheng began to worry about the future again.
"County Lieutenant Zhang, Mrs. Lu, our camp master let us dig a tunnel to the outside of the city before, and invite a few people to come with us." Guarding here is Lin Hu, he was sent here by Ma Qiang after January, and this tunnel is also the biggest guarantee for Ma Qiang's counterattack on Jixian County.
The tunnel is actually not too long, only four or five hundred meters, but it took half a year to dig, the tunnel is very narrow, and only one person can walk, Lin Hu walked in front with an oil lamp.
"Did your brother have already guessed that this Taiping Dao is going to be reversed? How are the tunnels ready? Zhang Sheng walked behind and asked Lu Ning in a low voice.
Lu Ning pinched him, and then looked at Lin Hu who was walking in front worriedly, this stupid husband is really crazy, even if he has doubts in his heart, he can't ask.
Outside the tunnel, Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao couldn't help laughing happily when they looked at the grain, grass and ordnance stored in Jixian County, which was enough to arm tens of thousands of people.
"This is really a great gift, with these ordnance, grain and grass, our army can be increased again!" Deng Mao arched his hand and said, "Senior brother, we should immediately go south to Zhuo County and open up the passage with Jizhou." ”
Cheng Yuanzhi used a knife as a pen and drew on the ground.
"The officers and troops of Youzhou, mainly in Lulongsai and other important places, Zhuojun soldiers and horses are only three or five thousand people, it is not difficult to attack, General Tiangong wants us to contain the border army of Youzhou, although I have sent someone to send a letter to Xianbei and Wuhuan, so that they can raise troops to respond, but I am afraid that they are unwilling, so we must leave an army here to contain these border troops.
I am going to let the army recuperate here for three days, distribute money and food, recruit soldiers, and after three days, I will increase the number of soldiers and horses to 50,000.
Then I will lead 5,000 people to sit here, and you will lead 35,000 people to the south, and then Fuya will take 5,000 people to guard Tong County, and 5,000 people will go to Changping because of poison. After Cheng Zhiyuan finished speaking, he hesitated again, shook his head and said, "Ma Qiang's house is in Changping, I'm worried that there will be changes in Changping, let Yu Poison take 9,000 people to go, Fuya and I only need 3,000 soldiers and horses each."
"Senior brother, then you have too few troops here, not to mention that although Ma Qiang knows thaumaturgy, he doesn't need 9,000 soldiers and horses."
"It's not just Ma Qiang, Changping is connected to the previous generation, there are border troops and Wuhuan troops there, and I also want him to defend there."
"I see, then I'll go south in three days!"
- Zhuo County
"Xuande, why are you doing this? You want to protect the Han River, I'm the same as you, the yellow turban thief will arrive soon, how dangerous it is outside the city, but you have to go out of the city to recruit the villagers, this trick is a good soldier, if you don't recruit well, you are a thief! ”
It turned out that Liu Bei found Han Zhuo and expressed his hope that he could go out of the city to recruit village warriors to enrich the soldiers and horses in order to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou.
"The county guard, Bei can not enter the city, but set up a camp outside the city, so that there will be no danger." Liu Bei lifted the corner of his clothes, knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes, "Although Bei was born in the countryside, he also knows that he is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, and now the yellow scarf advocates chaos, and he swears to break the thief and settle the people. ”
Han Zhuo turned around twice with his hands behind his back, thinking that Guangyang County has now been broken, and the next one is Zhuo County, Zhuo County is not Yuyang, Liaodong and other border counties, although there is money and food, but there are few soldiers and horses, now Liu Bei is willing to recruit soldiers and horses, it is better to push the boat down the river, if it is the best, even if it can't be done, it will not lose much.
"Okay, then I will appoint you as the county lieutenant of Zhuo County, and you will recruit the township warriors to think that the army is strong!"
