Three days before Cao Zhang issued an order for his soldiers to prepare to send troops to Puzi, Jia Xu's reply arrived in Linfen, and Cao Zhang couldn't wait to watch it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jia Xu mentioned in the letter that this Han Sui's real name is Han Yue, and a person named Bian Yun is the same Xiliang celebrity, and his name is heavy, and later the leader of the Qiang people, Beigong Boyu, rebelled with Li Wenhou and took the two captive to the army, because the two were famous, so Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou recommended the two as the leaders of the rebels, and the four of them were on an equal footing, so Han Yue and Bian Yun rebelled under the persecution of the north.

It's just that the imperial court has become the leader of the rebel army because of Han and Bian, so they issued a reward for their heads, and the two of them couldn't turn back, so one changed his name to Han Sui, and the other changed his name to Bian Zhang, and completely became a thief.

Han, the two of them are very appealing in Liangzhou, and they gathered a lot of rebels at once, plus the army of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou has a total of 100,000 capable soldiers, they swept the Xiliang counties with the slogan of killing eunuchs, and the world shook, during which the four defeated the famous general Gai Xun of the era of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and the famous general Huangfu Song of the two dynasties, the limelight was not there for a while, but there were many capable people in the Han Dynasty at that time, and they were finally defeated by Zhang Wen, the general of the Sikong and chariot cavalry at that time, and retreated to Yuzhong.

On the second day after they retreated to Yuzhong, Han Sui rebelled, killed Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang, defeated the army of Li Wenhou and Bian Jing, the son of Bian Zhang, and led it alone, holding great power.

After talking about their grievances, Jia Xu wrote down these words: "I heard that Gongzi wants to persuade Jing, Wen Hou two people to surrender, you can say about Han Sui's matter, promise to avenge it, when it can be surrendered, if Gongzi can descend two people, Xu beggar to send two people to Guanzhong, for my use, to resist Han Sui." ”

Cao Zhang rejoiced in his confidence after reading this letter, in fact, he also knew that killing Han Sui to avenge the two could persuade Bian Jing and Li Wenhou, because under the combined siege of the Southern Xiongnu and Xian Lingqiang, they were trapped in the two counties and had no way to retreat, plus Tuoba Xianbei's forces were not as good as Cao Zhang's side, as long as Cao Zhang threw an olive branch, he would not worry that they would not surrender.

What really made Cao Zhang happy was Jia Xu's request to send the two to Guanzhong for his use, the current Jia Xu is obviously no longer the Jia Xu who is alone in history, at this time he is full of firepower, there is him in Guanzhong, Sima Yi of Liangzhou and Yang Xiu of Yizhou are annoying.

Back then, Jia Xu helped Zhang Xiu set up an ambush in Wancheng, and when Cao Zhang thought he had seen through his plan, he still made Cao Jun suffer heavy losses, and also sent Cao Ang into the Ghost Gate, which was the only time Cao Zhang was deflated since he joined the army, Cao Zhang was in awe and appreciated Jia Xu's intelligence, he didn't think that Yang Xiu and Sima Yi could clean up Jia Xu.

So Cao Zhang replied with another letter, saying that he would definitely send them to Guanzhong after he surrendered the two, and after the letter was transmitted, Cao Zhang began to pack up and prepare to send troops.

After three days of preparation, Cao Zhang, dressed in Mingguang armor, holding a Zhangba snake spear, wanted to hang a ring sword, carried a Zhemu bow, and took 4,000 personal guards, 6,000 cavalry under the command of the cavalry captain of the third battalion, as well as Zhang Yan's 50,000 Black Mountain Army and Wei Zhen's 2,000 tomb guard cavalry, and 50,000 people marched with a mighty Chaopuzi.

Just after the rainy season, many places were washed away by the mudslides caused by the rainy season, so the road was not easy to walk, and the army walked for ten days to reach 30 miles outside Puzi County.

Puzi County is under Luliang Mountain, the back mountain is built on a hillside, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Cao Zhanglet Chen choose a place to camp, and he and a group of generals looked at Puzi County opposite on a hillside, only to see a pennant hanging above the county seat, the flag is painted with a strange creature, the creature is like a tiger, but it has five claws, the size is about the same as a dog, and there is a pair of wings on the back, Cao Zhangqi said: "What kind of monster is this flag?" ”

Wei Zhen replied: "My lord, it is the Rui beast of the Xianbei people, and it is also the god they worship. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said, "I see! It seems that Puzi's Lin family has been deeply influenced by the Xianbei people. ”

Wei Zhen said: "The Lin family has been intermarried with the Xianbei people for several generations, as early as when the other Hu people did not enter Pingyang, the Lin family has already colluded with the Xianbei people, killed the Puzi County Order, and led this place by themselves, and has crossed Luliang Mountain many times in a vain attempt to steal the tomb of Xianggong of Jin, and our tomb keepers have fought many times with their Lin family cavalry!" ”

Cao Zhang asked, "How are the Lin family's cavalry compared to the tomb guards?" ”

Wei Zhen replied: "To put it bluntly, the cavalry of the Lin family is still some distance away from my tomb guard, and the eight-sided Han sword of my tomb guard is more fierce than the Xianbei saber used by their Lin family, whether it is immediately or under the horse, which is also the reason why they have been defeated repeatedly. ”

Cao Zhang then asked, "Can Xianbei people shoot arrows?" ”

Wei Zhen replied: "The Xianbei people are very good at archery. ”

Cao Zhang nodded and said: "Everyone, this siege, Chen Zhi and I will lead four thousand guards to attack the city, and you will be the backup. ”

As soon as these words were outstanding, they would be shocked, first of all, Xiahou Heng, who was about to become Cao Zhang's brother-in-law, said: "My lord! Never! If you make a mistake, how will the last general explain it to the general and his father? ”

Wei Zhen's father and Cao Cao knew each other when they were little, so they could barely be regarded as Cao Zhang's world friends, and also said: "Yes, my lord, why don't you let me guard the tomb!" ”

Others also spoke out to persuade each other, and Cao Zhang smiled and said, "Do you look down on me like this? Since I joined the army, I have shot halberds at the city gate, suppressed bandits in Runan, burned the black nest, singled out the high-ranking cadres, and broke the Hun Zuoxian King Liu Bao, which time was not done by myself? Success? Will this time be an exception to lead troops to attack the city? ”

Everyone was silent when Cao Zhang said this, but Wang Ling on the side said: "My lord is the commander of the three armies, and I am afraid that the army will be unstable if he rashly attacks the city!" ”

Cao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Otherwise! I sit in the Chinese army, watching the sergeants under my command go to the siege of the city will be unstable, all the armies have generals, how can it be unstable, I have made up my mind! You don't need to persuade anymore! ”

Everyone stopped persuading each other when they heard Cao Zhang's resolute words, and Cao Zhang continued: "Gong Zhen, your tomb keeper should enter the city gate first after the city is broken, Zilin and Bo Kang will then lead the troops into the city, and then General Zhang's army will enter the city again. ”

Xiahou Nan, Gongsun Xu, Zhang Yan, agreed in unison, Cao Zhang said to Zhang Yan: "General Zhang, after my personal guards go to the city, please General Zhang continue to send troops to attack the city wall and respond to our army until the city gate is opened." ”

Zhang Yan replied: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Then Cao Zhang said to Xiahou Heng and Wang Ling: "Boquan, Yanyun, after the camp is completed, immediately urge the people to build eight siege ladders. ”

Xiahou Heng and Wang Ling agreed in unison, and Cao Zhang then said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, you take the Tun cavalry camp to cruise outside the city to prevent anyone from escaping after the city is broken." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun suddenly knelt down and said, "My lord! The matter of cruising can be handed over to the other Sima of his subordinates, and Yun wants to ask for orders to follow the adults to attack the city together! ”

Cao Zhang glanced at Zhao Yun in surprise when he heard this, and said, "Okay, then I'll fight side by side with Zilong." (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
