Chapter 257: Surrender

The soldiers of Jingzhou have such a point, that is, Liu Cong said yes, and Wei Yan, the general, did not doubt Liu Cong's decision, and when he heard that he was going to attack the city, he immediately returned to the camp to prepare his troops and horses. Although Yu Ban, Zhao Yun and others didn't understand why Liu Cong suddenly killed Yang Huai and Gao Pei and changed their plan to return to Jingzhou, they still carried it out to the letter, and Zhao Yun killed the two generals in Yizhou. Then he led people to kill all the entourages brought by Yang and Gao.

Yu Ban took the heads of two people and 10,000 elite soldiers and marched towards Baishui Pass.

Baishuiguan is located on the ancient transportation line, with Qinlong in the north and Jiameng in the south. The waterway can go up the Bailong River to get Gannan, down to Bayu, and even Jingxiang, which is an important military pass.

Fa Zheng mentioned Baishui Pass when analyzing the situation for Liu Bei, and he said: "The fish belly (Fengjie) and Guantou (that is, Baishui Pass) are really the gate of Yizhou's blessings and misfortunes. Fa Zheng believed that there were only two ways to enter Shu at that time, one was to take the fish belly (Fengjie) along the Yangtze River in the east to enter Shu, and the other was to take Baishuiguan from the land in the north to enter Shu. Therefore, it is a blessing to keep the belly of the fish and the juncture, and it is bound to be a disaster to lose the belly and the juncture.

It is precisely because of the important geographical location of Baishui Pass, since the Qin and Han dynasties, all dynasties have set up passes and built villages, sent troops to fight for Baishui Pass, and there are frequent wars here.

In 316 B.C., the Qin army attacked Shu, and its army was from southern Shaanxi along the Liujia River to Baishui Pass, and then from Baishui Pass along the Bailong River to Jiameng (now Lao Zhaohua) to fight a decisive battle with the King of Shu.

Although Yizhou Mu was incompetent, he also knew the importance of Baishui Pass, so he stationed more than 20,000 people here early and sent generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei to garrison it. Now that Liu Cong wants to attack Yucheng and Chengdu, he naturally has to take Baishui Pass first, so as not to suffer the enemy on his back.

Previously, Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others were invited to see Liu Cong off, and at this time, it was mainly Li Hui and others who were restraining their subordinates in Baishuiguan.

Li Hui was previously a military marquis, and a group of his brothers were trained under Liu Cong for three months, and there was an incident where Li Hui was seriously ill and his subordinates stole cattle. Later, Liu Cong forgave a few people, and after several people returned to Baishui Pass, they interpreted the story. And those soldiers who were able to train under Liu Cong were also proud, and those who had not been given the opportunity to see the skills of the general of Zhengnan were envious.

After Li Hui cured his mother's illness, he returned to Baishuiguan and was subsequently promoted to deputy general. Yang Huai and Gao Pei left the camp, and he and two other lieutenants guarded the camp.

The sudden appearance of the Jingzhou army in front of the pass surprised the soldiers of the Baishui Pass defenders!

Aren't Jingzhou soldiers going back to the division? The two generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei also went to see them off, how could Jingzhou soldiers suddenly appear here?

When the Jingzhou soldiers first arrived in Jiameng last year, the Baishui Pass garrison didn't care. But the subsequent competition shook the Yizhou soldiers a lot, the cavalry was defeated, the 100 infantry was defeated, and the two main generals were also defeated. Coupled with the rendering of the soldiers who participated in the training later, they had the impression that Jia Meng, a Jingzhou soldier, could fight habitually and was extremely brave. If it's not a last resort, it's better not to be their enemy.

Of course, the will is the will, seeing the Jingzhou soldiers who suddenly appeared, they still showed their due quality, most of the soldiers came to the gate one after another, holding the weapons in their hands, although they were not as nervous as Zhang Lulai, but they did not close the door wide.

Li Hui and another deputy ran out quickly.

"General Yu, Fa County Order, what do you want?" Li Hui's first feeling was that Yu Ban was going to take people and horses through the north to conquer Hanzhong, but he didn't see Wei Yan. Li Hui stayed in Jiameng for several months, and he still had some understanding of the Jingzhou soldiers. The vanguard of the Jingzhou soldiers has always been Wei Yan, and the military division is Pang Tong. This law is Jia Meng, and it also belongs to Yizhou.

If you attack Hanzhong, Wei Yan and Pang Tong should lead the team as the vanguard, so Li Hui is very puzzled.

"General Li, what do you think this is?" As he spoke, he used his gun to pick out two cloth bags from the hands of his attendants, and then used the tip of the gun to pick up the cloth bags.

Li Hui looked at Yu Ban's spear, and it was two heads! Yang Huai and Gao Pei's heads!

"General Yu, what is this?" Li Hui sighed in his heart, turned his head and glanced at the other lieutenant general, his expression was similar to his own. The two main generals, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, went to see off Liu Cong, and now they are actually on the ground?

"Oh, these two bastards, insulting General Zhengnan in the public court, were killed by General Zhao!"

"Insulting the general of Zhengnan?" Li Hui knew that Yang Huai and Gao Pei were indeed unhappy with Liu Cong's entry into Shu, but the two of them had been in charge for many years, how could they be so ignorant, in the final analysis, Liu Cong was a distinguished guest invited by the lord Liu Zhang to assist in the battle. No matter how proud the two of them are, they can't insult General Zhengnan in front of the court? There may be something hidden in this.

"General Li, General Wu. The general of Baishui Pass has been executed for insulting the general of Zhengnan, and we have been ordered to take over Baishui Pass. Under Fa Zheng's designation, Yu Ban knew that another deputy would be Wu Lan.

"Hmph...... You have been planning for a long time! Although Wu Lan is usually at odds with Yang Huai and Gao Pei, it is still unacceptable to hear that the two were killed.

"Two generals...... Now the situation in Jingzhou is critical, and the general Zhengnan wants to return to Jingzhou...... The lord Liu Zhang only gave 5,000 weak soldiers and 4,000 stone of grain. Yang Huai and Gao Pei even ridiculed and insulted the general Zhengnan in front of the court for calling Huazi, and the general ordered the two to be arrested, and the two even scolded loudly...... In the end, he was beheaded by General Zhao Yun...... "Fa Zheng is to add fuel and vinegar to the ins and outs of the matter."

Speaking of which, Li Hui and Wu Lan gradually understood that it was true that Yang Huai and Gao Pei insulted Liu Cong, but most of them were tricks. Look at Fa Zheng was originally the county magistrate of Jiameng County, Guanghan County, Yizhou, but at the moment, he was talking and thinking about Liu Cong everywhere, and he was obviously obedient.

Li Hui and Wu Lan quietly took a few steps back, lowered their heads and whispered.

"Brother De'ang, what do you think of this matter?" Wu Lan knew what happened to Li Hui at the beginning, so she wanted to hear his opinion.

"Brother Wu, this matter is just not afraid of us. Since the general of Zhengnan dared to kill the two generals Yang and Gao, he was bound to be ready to capture Luocheng and Chengdu. At this time, the troops were just sent to absorb us and remove the hidden dangers in the back. ”

"What if we hold on?"

"Hold out for three or five ......days at most," Li Hui shook his head and continued: "Don't forget, there are not a few people in the military center who are now going to the generals of Zhengnan. ”

"Brother De'ang is one of them, right?"

"The general is kind to me, I can't turn my eyes on it, besides, General Zhengnan is the royal brother of His Majesty today. The pillar of the Han family, Kuang Fu Han is the only one who is the only one. Li Hui inadvertently expressed his attitude, which meant that he supported Liu Cong, and Liu Zhang was not Liu Cong's opponent at all.

"But ......"

"Good birds choose trees to perch on, and loyal ministers choose their masters. General Wu, if there is chaos today, and the princes are strife, you and I will not go back to join the army to eat a bite of food and protect the safety of my wife, children, and fellow villagers. In the past, Xun Wenruo and Guo Fengxiao were first Yuan Gong, but later found that they could not succeed and turned their heads to Cao Cao, which established a great achievement. Tian Toyoda Yuanhao, who remained in Yuan Shao's camp, was later ordered to be imprisoned by Yuan Shao for dissuading Yuan Shao from conquering Cao Cao. After the Battle of Guandu, Tian Feng was killed. ”

Li Hui saw that Wu Lan was undecided, so he told Wu Lan about the situation of the three early strategists. Although Wu Lan is in Yizhou, she still knows a little about the deeds of the three famous people every day. Putting aside Li Hui's personal feelings, this choice of things is indeed a very important thing. Wu Lan is just a deputy general, and he has nothing to do with Liu Zhang, so if he is buried in Baishui Pass, it will definitely not be worth it.

"Brother Yideang, it's just that thunder bronze ......"

"I'll do his job, he has an old relationship with that Fa Xiaozhi, and now that Fa Xiaozhi has returned to the general of the Southern Army, he must not be unfamiliar."

After the two bowed their heads and exchanged ideas, Li Hui immediately stepped forward: "General Yu, Fa County Order, the two of us are willing to follow General Zhengnan." It's just that there is still an adjutant general in the army......"

"I'll go with you!" As soon as Fa Zheng heard that Li Hui and Wu Lan were willing to submit to obedience, and he was worried about Lei Tong, he took the initiative to stand up.

"Sir, the lord has an order, let me protect you."

"Out of the way! General Lee led the way. "Fa Zheng is still an official in Yizhou, and he thinks that he has an old relationship with Lei Tong, so he asks to enter the customs with Li Hui.

Li Hui and Wu Lan saw that Fa Zheng was willing to come forward to persuade Lei Tong, and their hearts were much more relaxed. Then the three of them rode into the customs.

Li Hui went straight to asking people to call him those brothers at the beginning, so now he is basically the captain and captain, in case the same person refuses to submit, there is a constraint. Fa Zhengze went to see Lei Tong under the leadership of Wu Lan.

Lei Tong saw the majesty of the Jingzhou soldiers at the pass, and thought that he was entering the north to conquer Hanzhong, but Li Hui and Wu Lan, who were watching, muttered for a long time in front of the pass, and they didn't know what the two of them said to the Jingzhou generals. The three deputy generals stationed at the gate, only Lei Tong did not participate in Liu Cong's special training, so he didn't know Yu Ban, and his feelings for Liu Cong were not like Li and Wu.

"What, they killed two generals, and they still dare to come to the pass to provoke?" As soon as Lei Tong heard that Yang Huai and Gao Pei were killed, Lei Tong heard that Yang Huai and Gao Pei had been killed. I was shocked. Looking at Wu Lan's expression again, he scolded angrily: "You two don't want to ask Lei to betray the lord, right?" Don't...... You ......," Lei Tong said, and his right hand pressed against the hilt of his sword.

"Brother Lei, what a smart person is Fa Xiaozhi? Has Brother Lei heard the stories of Tian Yuanhao, Xun Wenruo, and Guo Fengxiao? In terms of resourcefulness, Mr. Law will not lose to the three of them. Mr. Besides, if you have an old relationship, you will come to persuade you, how will he harm you? "Wu Lan is now learning and selling.

And over there, Li Hui had already reorganized his men and horses and came towards the pass.

When Li Hui's brothers who had stolen cattle heard about this, they didn't say a word, and immediately took separate actions to inform their subordinates and familiar military marquis, tun chiefs, captains, etc. Most of the low-level officials in the Baishui Pass garrison have received special training from Liu Cong. Now I heard that Liu Cong killed the main general, and two of the three deputy generals have already surrendered to Liu Cong. They're not stupid either. A position was immediately stated.

Divide it, you can go for the time being, but this Baishui Pass can't be handed over to the people of Jingzhou! Lei is willing to swear to guard this pass until the arrival of reinforcements from the lord. ”

"Why are you doing this?" The law is also helpless in the face of such a bull.
