Chapter 339: Guo Yuan's Troubles

Hangu Pass, the terrain is steep.

It is bordered by the Absolute Stream in the east, the Qinling Mountains in the south, the plateau in the west, and the Yellow River in the north. Whether facing the direction of Chang'an or Luoyang, the enemy had no other way to make a detour except for forcibly attacking Chengguan.

Historically, it was based on this pass that the Qin State repelled the siege of the Six-Nation Alliance many times.

Eight years ago, when Dong Zhuo was forced by the Kwantung princes to abandon Luoyang and go to Chang'an, his general Xu Rong guarded the Guguan Pass, so as to block the Kwantung Eighteenth Route princes, making it impossible for the allied army of hundreds of thousands to advance westward for half a step.

Five years ago, after Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven from Luoyang, he sat in Hangu Pass with Zhong Xuan.

At that time, the demons to the west of Hangu Pass were dancing wildly, and there were many warlords, but no one could cross Hangu Pass and advance half a step east. Then, Zhong Miao took Hangu Pass as a starting point, and gradually ate the surrounding areas of Chang'an, and many warlords in Guanxi eventually only left the Xiliang Ma army.

Now, although Zhong Miao died in Hanzhong, he has his nephew Guo Yuan, who is guarding Guguan.

Although Guo Yuan's talent is mediocre, he has a bit of Zhong Xuan's true biography:

No matter how he closes down the enemy army, he just needs to sit on the city and wait for his sons to kill the enemy!

After all, Hangu Pass is majestic and steep, if it is only by the soldiers who are attached to the siege of the city, the hundreds of thousands of allied troops in the eastern part of the country will be the best lesson from the past! Didn't you see that the tens of thousands of brave Xiliang troops were also blocked under Hangu Pass?

……

Hangu Pass, garrison Fuzhong.

Zhong Xuan looked at the letter in front of him, even in the hot summer, his whole body shuddered.

This letter was discovered by soldiers patrolling the wall, and the source is probably that someone who shot it at the wall with a rain of arrows. Yes, this letter came from the Xiliang Army who was blocked under the pass, and it was to persuade him to surrender Guo Yuan.

If it was just an ordinary letter of persuasion, Guo Yuan didn't care at all.

Moreover, after being stationed in Hanguguan for more than half a year, Guo Yuan didn't look down on Ma Jiajun, the warlord of Xiliang, at all!

However, the letter of persuasion in front of him now seems to have come from the hand of a capable person, and the letter shook off his Guo Yuan's old bottom. According to the meaning of the persuasion letter, if he Guo Yuan does not surrender, his old bottom will be placed on Cao Sikong's desk!

This is what he wants Guo Yuan's old life!

He Guo Yuan is Zhong Xuan's nephew, and Zhong Xuan is Cao Sikong's general, so it stands to reason that he Guo Yuan should also be Cao Sikong's subordinate, however, Guo Yuan belongs to Cao Sikong's camp, but he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

Well, to be more precise, he Guo Yuan is in Cao Ying's heart in Yuan!

is also a nephew, but Guo Yuan and Yuan Shao's nephew are good friends.

In other words, if it weren't for his uncle Zhong Xuan who looked at him to death, Guo Yuan would have gone to Bingzhou to defect to Gao Gan!

Later, his uncle died in Hanzhong, and he Guo Yuan could go to Bingzhou to join Gao Gan. However, at that time, the Xiliang Army was in a hurry to attack the pass, and he Guo Yuan was stationed in Hangu Pass, but he was actually dragged here.

Abandon Hangu Pass and go to the state?

It's not the best choice!

What Guo Yuan wants is to use Guanzhong as a step to advance in order to seek his high-ranking officials in the camp of the great general Yuan Shao!

Therefore, Guo Yuan tried his best to defend Hangu Pass, so that the Xiliang army could not advance eastward.

In the past six months, although he Guo Yuan could not go to Bingzhou in person to seek refuge with senior cadres, he exchanged letters and even bluntly talked about Cao Jun's weaknesses in Guanzhong, which was what Guo Yuan often did in the past six months.

Before Cao Ying's heart was in Yuan, and the battle of Guandu was decided, many officials in Cao Cao's camp had secretly communicated with Yuan Shao.

However, the news that came a few days ago made Guo Yuan a little frightened: the battle of Guandu was actually over, but the winner was not General Yuan, who everyone was optimistic about, but Cao Sikong had won an unprecedented victory!

When he knew the news, Guo Yuan couldn't believe it, and his heart was half cold.

What he did, if Cao Sikong knew what he had done, what was waiting for him would be the result, needless to say, Guo Yuan would know.

If you abandon Hanguguan and leave, and go directly to Bingzhou to seek refuge in Gao Gan, there will definitely be no problem in a short time.

But ah, Guo Yuan was a little unwilling to do this.

The battle of Guandu has been decided, and everyone knows what it means. Now that he Guo Yuan has gone to defect to the losing side, is he waiting for Cao Sikong to completely seize the four northern states in the future, and then come to settle the account with him Guo Yuan?

If that's the case, he, Guo Yuan, might as well continue to defend Hangu Pass!

Anyway, if he held the Hangu Pass, he would have some credit, wouldn't he?

When the time comes, I can't say that I will be able to make up for it.

Besides, he Guo Yuan secretly communicated with Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, Cao Sikong may not know about it!

However, today's letter of persuasion from the Xiliang Army shattered Guo Yuan's illusion.

According to what was said in the letter of persuasion, if he Guo Yuan did not surrender, the things he secretly did with Gao Gan, as well as the betrayal of Cao Jun's intelligence in Guanzhong, would be stabbed in front of Cao Sikong's case.

Although it is said that Cao Sikong may not believe it at that time.

But I can't stand up to these things that Guo Yuan did can't stand up to inquiries!

Once Cao Sikong knows, he Guo Yuan secretly communicates with high-ranking officials, and even betrays Guanzhong intelligence, what is the fate waiting for him Guo Yuan?

Guo Yuan didn't dare to gamble with his own life!

However, open the city pass and surrender to the Western Liang army?

Guo Yuan is also reluctant to do this kind of thing!

Fools know that Cao Sikong, who won the battle of Guandu, will inevitably become the strongest prince in the world in the next few years. He Guo Yuan gave up Cao Sikong's thigh at this time and didn't hug it tightly, and went to hug the little sapling of Xiliangjun, he Guo Yuan was not so stupid!

However, the current situation seems to be insoluble.

The switch surrenders, he Guo Yuan will not do this unless his head is gnawed by a donkey!

If he doesn't surrender, his Guo Yuan's handles will inevitably be placed in front of Cao Sikong's case, and when the time comes, no one dares to guarantee whether he Guo Yuan will be punished for his crimes, or will be cleaned up by Cao Sikong in anger.

……

Under Hangu Pass, a thousand steps away, Zhao Zilong, who had collected the bow, returned to Pang Tong with the strong bow. Just now, he was standing a thousand steps away from Hangu Pass, and with the strong bow in his hand, he shot a letter to the city gate tower of Hangu Pass.

"Master Pang, just with this slightly threatening letter of persuasion, can Guo Yuanqiao surrender?"

Standing beside Pang Tong, Zhao Yun asked with a little curiosity.

Zhao Yun knew the content of the letter of persuasion, but Zhao Yun didn't think that just the little trick in the letter could make Guo Yuan switch surrender. If Guo Yuan is not stupid, when he receives this letter of persuasion, he will definitely know how to deal with it.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Persuading the letter is just to add chaos to Guo Yuan's house." ”

"If you want to overcome this level, just a letter of persuasion is naturally not enough!"
