In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao launched a siege battle as always, but halfway through, after paying thousands of lives, it was not done again, at dusk, Pei Xingyan and Wang Yanzhang agreed to fight, until the night eroded the heaven and earth, the two sides reined in the horse back to the camp, and it was a tie. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

And tonight, Cao Cao still wrote a letter in his own hand, passing it to Wang Yanzhang at the head of Tongguan City, and this repeated for three days, except for the first letter, he no longer mentioned others, only discussed his private feelings, but it can be described as infatuated.

As soon as Wang Yanzhang put down the letter, he heard a commotion in front of the door, and more than a dozen people broke in in just a few breaths, and the first one was Fan Chou.

Fan Chou got the news as early as the first letter exchange, but after all, he caught the thief and caught the stolen goods, so he endured it for three days, and today summoned more than a dozen officials of Tongguan and waited for the rabbit in the city tower.

"Wang Yanzhang, is it said that you fought for three days in a row but you couldn't take down the reckless man surnamed Pei, it turns out that you secretly collaborated with the enemy army, are you going to dedicate General Guo's Tongguan to Cao Cao, so as to seek wealth and nobility." Fan Chou directly reprimanded angrily, the corners of his mouth hooked, with a sneer.

Wang Yanzhang was also short-tempered, and he was even more angry when he was pointed at his nose, and his fan-like palm fell on the table, making a creaking sound, obviously two table legs were broken.

"Fan Chou, I, Wang Xianming, have been following General Guo for a long time, and I have never wavered, and I don't want to sow discord."

Fan Chou has the support of major officials at this time, and he is not afraid of Wang Yanzhang's bravery, could it be that he still dares to kill himself in front of so many people? Presumably in this case, Guo Yan will not let go of Wang Yanzhang, he is Guo Yan's confidant and general in the end.

"Someone is coming, quickly take down Wang Yanzhang, search his residence, and kill him on the spot if he resists."

As soon as Fan Chou's voice fell, several people broke in one after another, and it was the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.

Wang Yanzhang was not afraid, but after all, as the chief general of the first army, Fan Chou's behavior had touched his bottom line, and it was rumored that his soldiers would think of him.

"Presumptuous", Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly, his shot was like electricity, and as soon as his breath rose and fell, those officials flew out upside down, which frightened those officials.

Fan Chou was not afraid of Wang Yanzhang at this time: "Wang Yanzhang, don't forget that although you are the commander of the lord's personal order, I have the right to manage the affairs of Tongguan, and you have to listen to me at the level." ”

"Get out." Wang Yanzhang was unceremonious and directly asked him to get out.

Fan Chou's face turned blue and red for a while, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Okay, Wang Yanzhang, since you are so stubborn, then I will return to Chang'an, and I will know in front of the lord." ”

After saying that, Fan Chou was angry, threw the saber on the ground, and was about to turn away, but Fan Chou's eyes were sharp, and he happened to see a yellowed letter lying on the table, so he quickly put it in his arms, and then turned to leave.

Fan Chou left, and those officials also went down with interest, leaving only Wang Yanzhang there silent.

At this time, the lieutenant who knew what was going by walked in.

"General Wang, or we will Fan Chou...", the deputy general wiped his neck, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"No, if you rashly kill Fan Chou today, you will be speechless in front of General Guo in the future."

The adjutant general said unwillingly: "But Fan Chou has already collected Cao Cao's letter, if he returns to Chang'an, even if the general you are standing upright, he will distort the facts and make something out of nothing. ”

"Alright." Wang Yanzhang waved his hand and motioned him to go down, but the deputy general smashed his mouth, but he didn't persuade him after all.

Fan Chou's departure did not seem to have any effect, and it rained heavily on this day, but it allowed the two sides to temporarily put away their troops and get a chance to breathe.

In the rain, a group of two horsemen sent a message.

"Newspaper... Wuguan came good news, Wancheng court sent Lu Bu as the vanguard, Wang Shouren as the military division, after four months of tough battles, finally two days ago to take it, the guard Yang Ding was cut by Lu Bu in front of the battle, calculate the time at this moment the imperial court army is afraid that has been stationed in the south of Huashan, at any time will launch an attack on the Chunni Pass. ”

This news can be said to have shocked everyone's spirits, even Cao Cao was no exception, clapping his hands, but everyone's mood under the gloomy sky was as sunny as a sunny day.

And another person arched his hand and said: "Wang Junshi asked Cao Shilang to set up the camp and spread it north of Huashan, join them in the north and south, and attack Chunni Pass and Tongguan at the same time. ”

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, sent Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan down to arrange, and led a group of staff members to discuss.

In Chang'an City, Fan Chou knelt down in front of Guo Yan, denounced Wang Yanzhang's crime with a handful of snot and tears, and handed Cao Cao's letter to Guo Yan.

"Lord, Wang Yanzhang is upright on the surface, but in fact he has hidden evil intentions, the last general is not talented, only intercepted a secret letter, who knows how long they have been in contact with each other, what kind of ulterior secrets they have, please be the master of the last general."

Guo Yan sat in the hall with a gloomy face, and said after a long time: "You immediately take my letter back to Tongguan, control the military power, and take charge of all military affairs, as for Wang Yanzhang, stay in the army for use." ”

Fan Chou was secretly happy in his heart, quickly wiped away his tears, put away Guo Yan's instructions, and waited until he returned to Tongguan, and he must take care of Wang Yanzhang.

"Newspaper..."

Before Fan Chou could stand up, he was absent-mindedly stunned, startled by the sudden sound of announcement.

"Newspaper... Wuguan was lost, the guard Yang Ding opened the city gate without permission, and was ambushed by Lu Bu, causing Wuguan to change hands, more than 5,000 soldiers in the city were killed in battle, and the rest were captured one after another. ”

Guo Yan's already gloomy face was even more covered with frost, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, so he never thought that Wuguan would be taken down so quickly.

"The guards of the Chunni Pass will be rewarded with a reward of thousands of gold and promoted to three levels in a row as long as the imperial army is dragged until December."

Fan Chou received Guo Yan's instructions, so he went to gather troops and horses, and rushed towards Tongguan in high spirits.

When I returned to Tongguan, the first thing I did was to run towards the city tower.

"Someone came, put down Wang Yanzhang's seal."

Guo Yan's personal guards rushed up and seized Wang Yanzhang's seal, and Wang Yanzhang closed his eyes from beginning to end until Fan Chou was about to leave.

"General Wang, now I am the chief general of Tongguan, and I order you to raise 3,000 troops tonight, go out of the customs and rob the camp, and if you disobey, you will be dealt with severely in accordance with military law."

Fan Chou didn't look at Wang Yanzhang after speaking, and left with Shi Shiran holding the seal ribbon.

"It's really a villain." The adjutant general broke in, with a look of indignation: "General Wang, Guo Yan listened to slanderous rumors, and was so suspicious, it really chilled the hearts of our soldiers, why not go against him, choose a good time, open the door and offer the city, Cao Shilang admires the general's prestige, and he will definitely stay for reuse." ”

"That's enough." Wang Yanzhang impatiently interrupted the adjutant general: "I am fortunate to have General Guo's reliance and become a confidant general, the general only listened to the villain's slander and confiscated my military power, this word has entered my ears, don't mention it again." ”

The adjutant general looked at Wang Yanzhang's cold eyes, swallowed his saliva, and retreated sullenly.

By the time, the heavy rain had long since stopped, but the roads were a little muddy, but fortunately it did not affect the march.

Guo Yanbu has lived in Yongzhou for a long time, and there is an urgent shortage of war horses, and the only 5,000 cavalry is also in Chang'an City, which is a war horse sent by Li Dao.

Wang Yanzhang walked in the forefront, and did not boost morale, and the whole army seemed lifeless and not depressed.

"General, there are ten miles to the flank of Cao's army approaching Huashan, and there are scouts who have heard about the camp of Xiahou Yuan's army here."

Wang Yanzhang nodded: "Order the whole army to cheer up and listen to my orders." ”

These 3,000 soldiers are all old, weak, sick and disabled, Fan Chou was disgusted with Wang Yanzhang, so he retreated in accordance with the military law, and tortured this iron-beaten bone, but he didn't expect Wang Yanzhang to be tenacious and unforgiving, and he went out of the city to rob the camp with the heart of death.

"Something is wrong, my lord."

"Oh?" Wang Yanzhang looked at a villager: "Something is wrong." ”

"General, you see, after this heavy rain, the soil on the stones will be washed away, and eventually the mud and stones will be separated, but here." As he spoke, the man squatted down and picked up a palm-sized stone with his hand: "The stones here are more or less stained with mud, which is a little weird." ”
