Chapter 921: Yuancheng Wedding Dress (I)
Guo Song personally led an army of 80,000 to set off overnight, the 80,000 army was composed of 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 spear infantry, in addition to the logistics army composed of tens of thousands of people, thousands of vehicles full of food and big tents followed the army, at noon the next day, the 80,000 Jin army arrived in Yuancheng, and the soldiers came to the city.
Yuancheng was deserted at this time, the situation of 100,000 people enthusiastically going into battle was invisible, there were no people in the streets and alleys, only some suspicious people were probing their brains, this is the soldiers of the Wei Feng battalion, specializing in arresting those soldiers and civilians who gathered together to chat, yesterday alone, 20,000 people were arrested, although not all killed, but the warning and fines were inevitable.
This caused the people of Yuancheng to be silent, and all the restaurants were forced to close, at the same time, the news of Fu Xuan and Zhao Lun's killing had spread, although Tian Xu deliberately avoided rumors, accusing the two of secretly colluding with Zhu Jun and attempting to surrender Yuancheng, but this explanation was pale and weak, everyone knew that the two of them were highly meritorious and were jealous of Tian Xu, so they were killed.
Tian Xu's indiscriminate killing of heroes made the soldiers and civilians of Yuancheng deeply chilled, especially more than 100 generals were taken away and never returned, which made the army panic, the generals were all in danger, the morale of the army was low, and the army was generally war-weary.
Xu Shi succeeded in destroying the defense system of Yuancheng with a series of means, but it was a pity that the army that came to enjoy the fruits was not Zhu Zhu, but Guo Song came to pick peaches.
The Jin army set up a large camp outside the north city, the 80,000 army company camp for more than ten miles, the horn sounded constantly, the momentum was huge, Tian Xu heard the news and hurried to the north of the city, looking at the murderous Jin army camp in the distance, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Where's General Zhennan?"
Tian Xu suddenly found that he couldn't see the figure of the main general Tian Hua, and he asked angrily: "Where is your main general Tian Hua?" ”
One of the generals trembled and said, "The general is sick. ”
"Sick?"
Tian Xu opened his mouth wide, as if he heard an extremely incredible thing, at the moment of the great enemy, Tian Hua actually fell ill, did he still think he was a child? If you get sick, you can leave it alone.
Tian Xu stomped his feet and shouted: "Hurry up and find the Hu Junshi to see me!" ”
Tian Xu didn't know that Hu Cao had been killed by Xu Shize, and Xu Shi next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness, I went to Hu Junshi's mansion yesterday, and their mansion has been empty, and Hu Cao doesn't know where to hide with his family?" The lowly position is still looking for him everywhere. ”
Tian Xu was speechless for a long time, helpless, he sighed and said, "Master Xu, what do you say to do now!" ”
Xu Shi was also very embarrassed, if it was the arrival of Zhu Zhu's army, he would persuade Tian Xu to surrender, but it was Guo Song's army that came, he was also very afraid, if Guo Song broke through the city, his own life would not be guaranteed, at this time, he hoped that the soldiers of the three armies could strictly defend it.
However, Xu Shi has a set of intrigues and tricks, and the whole person is even more powerful, but if he wants to make plans to defend the city, he has nothing to do.
"This ..... His Royal Highness can think for a moment and listen to the opinions of the generals, who are on the front line of defending the city, and their suggestions will be more practical. ”
Tian Xu also knew that it was useless to ask Xu Shi, and at this time, a cavalryman rushed to the city and shouted: "Come and deliver a letter on the order of the King of Jin!" ”
After speaking, the cavalry shot a letter on the city, a soldier had already picked it up, ran to present it to Tian Xu, Tian Xu took the letter and looked at it, the letter cover said that Guo Song, the king of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, sent Tian Xu, the lord of Yuan City, and knew from the title that Guo Song did not recognize Tian Xu's King of Wei and Wei Bojie's envoy, and at most called him the lord of Yuancheng.
Tian Xu opened the letter and read it hurriedly, Guo Song asked him to surrender immediately in the letter, promised to spare his life, and threatened after the letter that if he did not surrender in time, after the city was broken, the Tian clan would not leave the chickens and dogs.
Tian Xu was furious, angrily tore up the letter, and shouted: "Go and summon Wang Kuan to see me!" ”
Wang Kuan is also a veteran of Wei Bojun, he once lost Puyang, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and was abandoned by Tian Chenghei, after Tian Yue took the throne, he summoned him out of the mountain, Wang Kuan refused to come out, which annoyed Tian Yue and ordered it never to be used.
Tian Xu didn't want to use the more willful Wang Kuan because of the famous general Fu Xuan, and now that he was unavailable, he remembered Wang Kuan, a veteran.
After a while, several pro-soldiers brought a veteran general, it was the veteran Wang Kuan, followed by two young generals, Wang Kuan's two sons Wang Shounian and Wang Qinian, Wang Kuan stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said: "Wang Kuan see His Royal Highness King Wei!" ”
Tian Xu nodded and said: "Old general, now that the Jin army is approaching the city, Yuancheng is in danger, and I beg the old general to take Wei Guosheji as his mind, and accept orders to rescue Yuancheng and Wei from the crisis." ”
Although Tian Xu wanted to show sincerity, his words were dry and emotionless, but Wang Kuan did not show any resistance, and decisively ordered: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Wang Kuan is here, and the city is there!" ”
Tian Xu was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Okay!" I will appoint you as the defense envoy of Yuancheng and hand over 80,000 military power to you, I hope you will not disappoint me. ”
"In addition, please ask Your Highness to arrange for the overseer."
Wang Kuan dispatched to propose to arrange the prison army, which was a bit unexpected by Tian Xu, but he immediately realized that this was Wang Kuan's fear of repeating Fu Luan's mistakes, which reassured Tian Xu, Tian Xu said happily: "The prison army is indeed necessary, and Tian Hua will still serve as the supervisor." ”
Xu Shi suddenly found that Wang Kuan's two sons were staring at him with extreme hatred, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, had he offended the Wang family?
.........
Wang Kuan grasped the military power, immediately beat the drum to gather the generals, not long after, all the generals gathered in the big tent, Wang Kuan glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "I have been in the army for 30 years, and the military discipline has always been strict, since I am the main general, my orders, everyone must be carried out to the letter, and those who violate the order will not be killed!" ”
All the generals were awe-struck, bowed down together and said, "Obey the orders of the commander!" ”
Wang Kuan glanced at his two sons again, and shouted: "Wang Shounian listens to the order!" ”
Wang Shounian flashed out, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general!" ”
"I appoint you as the chief general of the North City Gate, and command the 10,000 defenders of the North City Gate!"
"The last general obeys!"
Wang Kuan said again: "Wang Qinian listens to the order!" ”
The second son, Wang Qinian, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "The last general!" ”
"I appoint you to receive envoys from four cities, command 20,000 response troops, and answer all cities at any time!"
"Obey!"
Wang Kuan stood up again and said to everyone: "I personally command the 20,000 tiger army, I hope everyone will unite sincerely and defend Yuancheng!" ”
As soon as Wang Kuan opened the account, he took away the military power of the 50,000-strong army, which was led by himself and his two sons, and everyone had no objections, but the three generals who originally commanded the army trembled with anger.
Tiger General Du Zheng, Flying Eagle General Qian Hao and Flying Bear General Wang Shanguo, they are all Tian Hua's henchmen, after Fu Lan and his men were cleaned up, the three of them only took over yesterday morning, and in just one day, they were seized by Wang Kuan, and they didn't even say hello to them, Wang Kuan didn't put the three of them in his eyes at all.
The three of them are still young, and they have no prestige in the army, their only backstage is the supervisor Tian Hua, from the big tent, the three of them discussed for a while, and immediately sent someone to inform Tian Hua, with the three of them can not turn the situation back, only count on Tian Hua.
In the big tent, Wang Shounian said to his father Wang Kuan with hatred: "Father, let the child go and arrest the Xu dog thief!" I fear that he will flee and that we will have great revenge. ”
"Don't worry! He couldn't run away. ”
Wang Kuan said lightly: "I have sent someone to send a letter to the King of Jin, there will be results soon, we must control the army, you go to office immediately and control the army!" ”
The two sons hurried away, and Wang Kuan stood with his hands in his hands, his expression cold.
Wang Kuan has been neglected for many years and has long been forgotten by everyone, and the Wei army no longer pays attention to his situation, as for his children marrying a wife, no one cares, and Tian Xu never dreamed that the military advisor Hu Cao is Wang Kuan's son-in-law.
The daughter and son-in-law's family were killed, and this feud could no longer be reconciled, so Wang Kuan happily accepted Tian Xu's appointment, since Tian Xu wanted to give him the handle of revenge, of course he would not refuse.
At this time, the soldiers reported outside, "Marshal Qiyu, the prison army is here." ”
Wang Kuan nodded, he was waiting for Tian Hua, he gave a dozen personal soldiers on both sides a look, and ordered: "Please let him in!" ”
There was no need to invite, Tian Yue opened the big tent and rushed in angrily, "Wang Kuan, you don't take me too seriously!" ”
Wang Kuan said lightly: "Why did Tian Jianjun say this? ”
Tian Hua said angrily: "Du Zheng and the three of them are all my people, if you remove the military power of the three people, you should at least tell me, you don't say anything, just dismiss me, it is clear that you don't give me face." ”
"Tian Jianjun, the three of them have no prestige and no ability, once the fight starts, the three of them will probably be scared to pee their pants, is it wise for General Tian to put his life in the hands of these three people?"
Tian Hua was stunned for a moment, and said for a while: "You think they can't do it, I have no opinion on dismissing them, but at least you should tell me, at least respect me, this request is not too much!" ”
Wang Kuan smiled slightly: "The problem is that they don't say it themselves, how do I know that they are Tian Jianjun's people, I thought they were Fu Xuan's people, since Tian Jianjun said it, please wait a while, I will arrange logistics for the three of them, how about it?" ”
This suggestion is good, Tian Hua nodded happily, "Then there is Lao Dashuai." ”
At this time, Wang Kuan's personal soldiers appeared at the door of the tent and nodded to Wang Kuan, meaning that Du Zheng and Tian Hua's entourage were all killed.
Wang Kuan immediately ordered: "Open the box!" ”
The pro-soldier opened a large wooden box, and Tian Hua was stunned, "What is this?" ”
Wang Kuan said coldly: "This is the coffin I prepared for the prison army, please come in!" ”
The soldiers next to him rushed up and pressed Tian Hua to the ground.
A soldier raised his horizontal knife and slashed at the back of Tian Hua's neck........
