Chapter 457 Gong Du shouted Guangchengguan

……………………………………

Seeing Hua Xiong who was dying, Xi Zhicai felt that pursuing Liu Xie was no longer the most important thing, and the problem now was that he could be sure that there had been a rebellion, but he didn't know who the rebels were and how big the scope could be. When Sun Quan jumped back to report the news, he said that he saw Liu Bei, and the herald of the cavalry company said that there were Dong Cheng and Wang Fu, but Xi Zhicai felt that there must be more than these people, because their status was not enough for others to follow them and rebel.

"Empress Yunlian, I implore you to return to the palace immediately, assist the prince in supervising the country, and coordinate the three governments to jointly handle state affairs. In addition, quickly send someone to report to Your Majesty, please return to Beijing! ”

hasn't caught up with Liu Xie yet, Yun Sanniu is in a dilemma, but Xi Zhi knows his intentions, and immediately said: "Queen, if the prince Xie has a mistake, it will be difficult for you to explain to Your Majesty, but if something happens in the court, won't it be even more difficult for you to explain?" ”

In desperation, Yun Sanniu had to listen to Xi Zhicai's opinion, returned to Luoyang accompanied by Yan Dawa, and ordered Yan Sanwa to personally escort Hua Xiong and rush to the medical school for rescue.

The commander of the cavalry regiment that rushed over from Taigu Pass was Yan Zhi, Liu Yu's subordinate when he was in Youzhou, and they were all assigned to various units after studying at the Beibi Military Academy. After Gong sent Yun Sanniu back to Luoyang, Xi Zhi ordered Yan Zhi to catch up first, but he also told him that he must guard against the soldiers and horses of Guangchengguan. Obviously, if there is no problem with Guangchengguan, Dong Cheng and Liu Bei are now walking a dead end, but are they so stupid?

Yan Zhi was ordered to catch up first, and Xi Zhicai marched with Gong Dubu of the First Army Guard Brigade later.

It is said that when Yan Zhi was in Youzhou, he was also a well-known character, and his brother Yan Rou also pulled up his own tribe, which could run rampant outside the Senes. Later, when Wen Ping adapted the various departments of Youzhou, his brother Yan Rou said that if the officials of the Han Dynasty can be as sympathetic to their subordinate generals as Commander Wen and treat all ethnic groups fairly, then it is worth it for us to fight for the Han Dynasty.

After their group arrived in Luoyang, they really entered the city, in addition to opening their eyes and seeing all kinds of novelties, they even met their principal, the supreme commander of the Han Zheng Army, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, so they were all glad that they could become a member of the Han Zheng Army.

The only fly in the ointment is that after graduation, they all want to return to the Fourth Army to follow Wenpin, but it seems that only Xian Yuyin has returned to the Fourth Army, and the others have been assigned anywhere, and his brother Yan Rou was assigned to the Fourth Division of the Second Army, and now in Hanzhong, he is a subordinate of Deputy Commander Chen Ran.

Another point, the people of the time always said how powerful the cavalry of the Second Army was in Liangzhou, and how powerful the cavalry of the Fifth Army was in Bingzhou, and they wanted to go back, and they really wanted people to see the cavalry of the Fourth Army in Youji, which was still famous. After all, Yan Zhi was still the commander of the cavalry, and he stayed in Luoyang, the capital division, compared to other brothers, and even the brothers who were divided into the navy, it was really "a blessing in misfortune".

Yan Zhi led people to chase all the way, and when he was only more than ten miles away from Guangcheng Pass, the scout cavalry who came out finally returned, saying that he saw a large group of men and horses in front of him. Yan Zhi didn't dare to delay, and ordered the whole regiment to speed up, but at this moment, a soldier and horse suddenly appeared in the woods beside the road, and arrows rained down, shooting hard towards Yan Zhi and the others, and at the same time, a soldier and horse were also killed on the mountain on the left, about more than 200 horses, and the person at the head was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang.

Yan Zhi and the others were caught off guard and retreated one after another, but to Guan Yu's surprise, Yan Zhituan did not appear chaotic in the process of retreating, and even took off their bows and crossbows one after another, turned around and shot back.

These more than 100 strong bows and dozens of war horses were left by the cavalry company brothers led by Hua Xiong, originally Guan Yu also wanted to use this to disrupt the formation of Yan Zhituan, and then take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but many people who wanted to catch up were shot and fell off their horses. Seeing that the situation was not good, Guan Yu turned his horse and left, but Yan Zhituan, who had stabilized his position, came back to kill, first came to the enemy soldiers who released cold arrows with a crossbow shot, and then raised his sword and spear, and roared.

These people who release cold arrows, maybe many people have been reimbursed after just releasing one arrow, who can they rely on? Everyone plays horseback and fights, and if they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will run. You run out of the woods and shoot with bows and arrows, and if they don't beat you, who will they beat?

After eliminating these dead archers, Yan Zhi led his people to continue to chase Guan Yunchang, who was riding a donkey, but encountered a group of soldiers and horses led by Zhang Fei on the way. Although the number of people is not large, there are only about 100 people, but they were taken by Zhang Fei, "a fierce horse", Guan Yu also took advantage of the situation to return and kill.

The pursuit was blocked, and when he was attacked again, Yan Zhi had to retreat again, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces, which was really not something that ordinary people could bear. As a last resort, Yan Zhi's brother behind him scattered a few Zama nails, and then, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't seem to be so crazy. It is said that many people heard Zhang Fei screaming, as if killing a pig.

However, at this time, it was already dark, and the road was sprinkled with horse nails, and the enemy situation ahead was even more unknown, Yan Zhi did not dare to chase anymore after all, so he had to stop, and ordered someone to quickly report the news to Xi Zhi behind him and ask for his life. Xi Zhicai and the others came out in a hurry, and they did not have the conditions to camp, so they had to order Yan Zhizhi to retreat to the new city.

…………

On the second day, when Xi Zhicai led the army to Guangcheng Pass, they were greeted by crossbow arrows shot down at the juncture, and sure enough, there were also people in Guangcheng Pass who rebelled.

Because the two mountains are sandwiched by a river, and the Pingchuan is relatively open, Guangchengguan does not look as dangerous as the other passes, and the place that needs to be defended is also relatively wide, but here in addition to Guangchengze, there are Rushui, and many large and small ditches washed down from the mountains on both sides, in fact, the terrain is very complicated.

Unlike the other levels, the standing strength of Guangchengguan is two B-level regiments, and the rebel general at this juncture is the deputy brigade commander. It is said that this series is the same as Zuo Fengyi's county magistrate Chong Shao, both of whom are after the former Han Situ Chong Hui, but Chong Shao belongs to the sons and grandsons of the concubines, while the seed series is a side branch.

It stands to reason that Liu Yunyuanhang can be made the crown prince, which can be regarded as fighting for the world's concubines, for example, Yuan Benchu was very happy, and even secretly urged Yuan Tan to hurry up and "marry a wife and have a daughter", maybe he can marry Liu Yunyuanhang as a queen in the future.

But the series is different, the series is a serious Confucian scholar in his bones, and many times he has doubts and even resistance to what Liu Hanshao did. For example, at the time when Dong Zhuo was in trouble with the country, His Majesty rose up, and at that time, the series was also enthusiastic, thinking that he had finally met the Holy Lord Mingjun, so he also followed the Cutting Invention Chronicle, and secretly vowed to follow Liu Hanshao to calm the world and clarify the universe. However, later he was not selected into the A-level legion, and his official position was so low that he was not satisfied, and he led some soldiers all day long in addition to defending the city and training, and even had to farm the fields.

Cut your hair, cut your hair, and then grow it back after you cut it, you can keep it, and as a result, cutting your hair has become a hard military rule of the Han Zhengjun.

Later, there were more and more disagreements with the series, such as His Majesty's reuse of Takeo Kansai, righteous brothers' cronies, such as treating all ethnic groups equally, not discriminating, and even improving the status of merchants, allowing women to be teachers, which made the series feel strongly dissatisfied.

Until one day, someone chatted with Chongji, saying that His Majesty acted upside down and ignored etiquette, which made Chongji deeply think so......

He is moral, and he is very sympathetic to his subordinate soldiers, so he has won the support of many subordinates; The series has ideals, believing that the world is clear and orderly, and it must rely on the constraints of etiquette and morality; Since there is an edict from the first emperor, King Chen Liuwang should inherit the throne and be orthodox for the Han family.

Therefore, according to the agreement, when the seed series brought people to Guangchengguan to change the defense, he suddenly made a difficulty, not only occupied Guangchengguan, but even got nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses. Then Chong Ji Gong asked the emperor in his mind, Liu Xie, to retreat south first, and decided to stay alone to block the pursuers. However, Liu Bei was worried that the ability of the seed series was insufficient, so he sent Guan Yu to stay behind and break off with the seed series. Of course, on the surface, you can't say that, you can only say that Guan Yu is going to assist in the series, and in the process, most of the nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses of the series were taken away to protect the "Emperor Liu Xie", and there are only more than 2,000 people left after Guangcheng's break.

However, it was these two thousand soldiers and horses, taking advantage of the geographical advantages of Guangcheng Pass and the excellent weapons and equipment of the Han Zheng Army, that blocked Xi Zhicai for a whole day, and failed to break through Guangcheng Pass.

In desperation, Xi Zhicai had no choice but to order the troops to camp on the spot, and sent people back to Luoyang overnight, asking Gao Jie to send another bow brigade and a mountain regiment over. It was said that they were camped on the spot, but they came out in a hurry and did not have the conditions for camping, so they were just guarded and sentry, and the other brothers camped in the open air around the fire.

On the fourth day, Xi Zhicai took up battle at Guanxia, but did not attack, but asked Gong Du to select some soldiers with loud voices and good mouths to shout to Guanshang. From the turbulent and difficult days in the past to the happy and sweet life now, counting the various examples of His Majesty treating the people well and treating soldiers as brothers, and even the soldiers who knew Guan Shang, they also asked about the situation of their families, whether they were assigned to the fields, whether they found work, and whether their sons and daughters went to school. Later, the soldiers questioned Chongji, why did he rebel and be willing to be a rebel and thief, did he not even care about the name of loyalty and righteousness of the Chong clan for generations?

The morale of Guan Shang fell again and again, and some soldiers wanted to abandon their weapons and surrender at that time, but Guan Yu led the overseer team to kill dozens of them in a row to curb this momentum.

Then reinforcements arrived one after another, and the crossbow brigade alone had more than 50 crossbows, but it was already late at this time, so Xi Zhicai only ordered the crossbow to step forward, demonstratively released a few waves of crossbow arrows, and then collected the troops and returned to the camp.

After nightfall, Guan Yu was worried that Chongji would have a repetition, so he took the generals who stayed to act as the supervising team to the place of the plant, and each of them was in armor and was secretly on guard. I never thought that the first thing Chongji said when he saw Guan Yu was: "General Guan, Guangcheng Pass can't hold it, take your soldiers and horses, hurry up and leave overnight." ”

Guan Yu asked hesitantly, "What, you want to surrender?" ”

Chongji smiled dismally and asked rhetorically, "Can I still surrender now?" ”
