Chapter 170 Guan Yun Changjin City deployed, and the Shu soldiers went to Zhang Heng to talk about surrendering

As mentioned in the above book, Han Sui attacked the camps of Huo Jun and Meng Da, but was defeated by Fa Zheng using his design to attack the army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info and because Zhou Cang missed the opportunity, he didn't cause much loss to Han Sui. It's just that Cheng Yin surrendered to Liu Qian, the general of Zhengxi, and Zhang Heng returned to Longyou County with 5,000 archers.

Han Sui saw that his troops had lost 20,000 horses, so he discussed withdrawing his troops with his strategist Yang Fu.

Yang Fu asked, "Why did the lord come from?" ”

"Feng Tianzi's edict to contain the troops of the expedition to the west, so as to help Zhonglang General Lu Fengxian." Han Sui said.

"However, now the enemy only has the strength of one army, and it is not our army that can break it! The lord thinks that our army can be the enemy of the expedition to the west? Yang Fu asked.

"What does that mean, sir?" When Han Sui heard Yang Fu's words, he felt a click in his heart, and he was frightened.

"Retreat! Let's go back to Liangzhou! Yang Fu offered a plan.

Han Sui lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then raised his head to look at Yang Fu and Yang Qiu, and said, "Okay! Withdraw to Liangzhou! ”

On the same day, Han Sui withdrew the camp and returned to Liangzhou.

The day after his army withdrew, Guan Yu and his five generals led ten battalions of cavalry to Jincheng.

Fa Zheng told Guan Yu about the past battles in detail, and led Cheng Yin to see Guan Yu. Guan Yu nodded slightly and said, "Han Sui has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and sooner or later it will be a disaster for our army. This time, Li Ru sent Han Sui troops, which was optimistic that our army would attack Chang'an from Qinzhou and Hanzhong at the same time, and Dong Zhuo would be defeated. Therefore, let it attack our state and county. ”

"What the general said is very true. However, Han Sui is an ambitious person. In the past, Ma Teng was led to oppose Dong Zhuo, and later he rebelled against the kingdom. Born reflexive. If it is not removed early, I am afraid that there will be more tumors in the future! Fa Zheng said on the side.

"Filial piety, true wisdom. No wonder the eldest brother told Zhiyu this time, and asked Xiaozhi more when he went to Jincheng to meet problems. At the beginning, I looked at you as young as the crown, and you were still light! Now you have this opinion, it can be seen that you are talented! When Guan Yunchang heard Fa Zheng's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and his words were full of admiration.

Seeing Guan Yu respecting Fa Zheng so much, Huo Jun and Meng Da couldn't help but be nervous, their faces were pale, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. After all, because the two of them looked down on Fa Zheng and did not listen to Fa Zheng's words, they caused the loss of soldiers and the loss of nearly forty percent of more than 10,000 elite soldiers. I'm afraid that I will soon condemn myself, how can I not be afraid?

Guan Yu saw it clearly in the upper position, squinted Danfeng's eyes and said with a smile to Fa Zheng: "A certain Shang despises you, let alone Zhong Miao and Ziduhu?" ”

Hearing Guan Yu's words, Huo Jun and Meng Da were not fools, so they hurriedly bowed to Fa Zheng and apologized, and knelt down to kowtow to Guan Yu to apologize.

Seeing this, Guan Yu said: "Zhong Miao, Zidu, you still need to make a conviction, are you willing to be punished?" ”

"The last will be punished!" Both knelt on the ground, awaiting punishment.

"Good! If you want to lead troops to attack the enemy Liangzhou, you will be sent as the vanguard, and the soldiers under the command of the two will open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, so as to recover Liangzhou for our army and make the first way. Guan Yu ordered.

"The last will be ordered!" The two of them were ordered to get up and stand aside.

"Mantun, are you guilty?" When the two of them got up, Guan Yu suddenly sank his face, closed his Danfeng eyes slightly, and shouted.

"The last will be convicted!" Since Zhou Cang followed Liu Qian, he has admired this second master Guan very much. If it is said that in the Shu army, Zhou Cang listens to whoever he hears the most, it must not be the lord Liu Qian, but the second master Guan Yu. Besides, he didn't defeat Han Sui this time, mainly because he was arbitrary.

"You are a veteran of our army, and my eldest brother has warned me many times that the battlefield is changing rapidly. Thou shalt attack the camp and line up to fight the enemy. Guan Yu rebuked very angrily, "This is the case, should you go back to Chengdu College to study strategy?" ’”

"Second general, Kuramoto is not handsome. I also hope that the general will speak well to the lord and let Cang learn from the second master's side. "Zhou Cang has long wanted to follow Guan Yu's side.

"Nonsense! A dignified four-grade general, what kind of system does it become to follow me all day long? Guan Yu reprimanded Zhou Cang again. Zhou Cang's big yellow face turned red to Guan Yu's words, and he stepped aside stupidly.

Seeing Zhou Cang retreating, Guan Yu turned around and asked Fa Zheng: "I don't know if there is anyone in this state and county who can defend it after I go on the expedition?" ”

"Qinchuan and Longxi are guarded by three or four thousand soldiers and horses, and the generals who defend the city are only a few guards. I brought all the soldiers of Tianshui, and there were no soldiers to guard them. At Tielong Mountain, General Zhou left three battalions of soldiers and horses to guard it. At present, our army is concentrated in Jincheng's soldiers and horses, more than 3,000 under the command of General Huo Jun, more than 3,000 under the command of General Meng Da, about 5,000 soldiers and horses under the 6,000 soldiers of General Pang Xi in Jincheng, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses from Xiliang led by General Cheng Yin, 9,000 soldiers and horses from Tianshui under our department, more than 43,000 people from Tielongshan under General Zhou, and 10,000 cavalry brought by you. Fa Zheng first described the current troops, and then said, "Qinchuan and Tianshui counties should stay to guard more than 10,000; More than 10,000 guards were left in Jincheng and Longxi counties, and as for the general who stayed in the town, it still needs to be decided by the general. ”

"Dispatch Fang Yu to lead the three thousand sergeants of Tielongshan to rush to Qinchuan immediately and take over the guarding of Qinchuan; Meng Fan, you led Sergeant Cheng Yintoucheng to Longxi to take over the work of guarding Longxi; Han Sun, you led the sergeants under Fa Zheng to Tianshui and took over the work of Tianshui guards; Yangshuo, you take over Pang Xi to guard Jincheng, and wait for us to return to Xiliang, and then return them. Your mission is to train these soldiers into elite soldiers in the short term! Do you hear that? Guan Yu asked.

"I hear you." The three generals replied.

After the work of Qinchuan's guards was arranged, Guan Yu said to Fa Zheng and the others: "This arrangement is not to seize the military power of you and other prefectures and counties!" After we return from the crusade against Liangzhou, these military powers will be handed over to you. ”

When Fa Zheng and the others heard this, they hurriedly said, "But listen to the general's arrangement." ”

"In that case, tomorrow a certain flag will be sacrificed. Zhong Miao, Zidu, after the flag, the two of you will lead the troops to set off. Remember to fight if you can, and defend if you can't. If the enemy is too strong, we will not be able to hold out, and we will wait until our army arrives before making plans. Guan Yu was afraid that the two of them would be greedy for merit and that they would fall into the enemy's trap by mistake, so he warned them bitterly.

The second will only answer the promise.

The next day, Guan Yu set up a platform to sacrifice the flag outside Jincheng City, saying: "My brother Liu Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, wants to save the Son of Heaven and conquer the national thief Dong Zhuo. Han Sui of Liangzhou aided in the abuse, and was instructed by the Dong thief to attack our county. Now he wants to solve the troubles, Guan led troops to fight against him. I hope that the flag will be victorious and successful. ”

After speaking, the blood and wine were sold. Subsequently, Fa Zheng, Zhou Cang and others came to the stage one by one to sell blood and wine. After the end, Guan Yu drank it first, and then everyone drank it.

That's it. Huo Jun and Meng Da led more than 7,000 soldiers as the vanguard and set off from the school.

After the two of them left, Guan Yu and the others also packed up and led an army of 40,000 or 50,000 to set off. The people who carried the grain in the rear army were Gao Pei, the general of Suiqin, Fang Ming, and Fang Ye.

Besides, Han Sui rushed back to Wuwei. On the way, he passed through Longyou, and he actually passed directly outside the city, without even stopping. Zhang Heng hid in the city and laughed secretly. As long as Han Sui returns to Wuwei, then this is his Zhang Heng's world. However, he is not as good as heaven, as soon as Han Sui left, the army of Huo Jun and Meng Da entered the realm of Longyou.

Zhang Heng had no choice but to concentrate all the 5,000 city guards and 5,000 archers under his command in the city on the city wall to resist the defense. At first, he wanted to ask Han Sui for help, but when he thought about it, if Han Sui knew about his escape, it would not be a joke! There's no way, let's resist it for a while.

However, the situation was better than he imagined, at least Huo Jun and the others did not attack the city, but just besieged the city and fought for battle! Although he was only surrounded, Zhang Heng was not happy in his heart! He didn't know when the enemy would start attacking the city? Will you be able to hold this city with your own troops?

But if this person is in a hurry, he will keep turning his brain to find a way. Or how can there be a person who is called a quick wit? Zhang Heng, who was scolded by Huo Jun and Meng Da for two days in a row, still didn't dare to fight, went back and forth in his mansion, making his subordinates dizzy, and he didn't know how to stop.

Suddenly, he remembered Cheng Yin. Didn't the clan brother say that Cheng Yin was honest that day! Doesn't that mean that I can also surrender? Since Cheng Yin Toucheng was accepted, why can't I?

After thinking about it for a long time, he wrote a letter and went to the castle tower himself.

Seeing that Namunda was still fighting and scolding, he didn't say much, but took out his bow and arrows and shot the letter. However, Meng Da and the others were out of range, and the arrows fell far away from everyone.

Meng Da looked at Zhang Heng on the top of the city tower suspiciously, and asked someone to go over and pick up the arrow. When the soldier picked up the arrow, Meng Da took it and watched, couldn't help but be stunned, turned around and said, "Go back to the camp!" ”

Back in the camp, Meng Da handed Zhang Heng's letter to Huo Jun and asked, "Do you believe it or not?" ”

"If you know whether it's true or not, why don't you make an appointment to come to my camp tomorrow to discuss! If his words are true, I will keep them in the camp to keep watch; Thou shalt bring thy troops into the city to receive them. If his words are false, he will not be in the camp, until you receive them. Huo Jun said.

"If so, then I will write a letter at once, and cause them to shoot up the tower." After Meng Da finished speaking, he wrote a letter and sent people to shoot to Longyou City.

Zhang Heng saw that the two of them made an appointment to meet in the camp outside the city, and knew that he didn't believe his words. Putting down the letter in his hand, he began to think about the posture in which he would meet with the general of the enemy battalion the next day, and what kind of request should he make. It wasn't until midnight that he went into his room to rest.

The next day, he led 3,000 troops out of the city, came to the front of the two armies, set up a table, and asked people to invite Huo Jun and Meng Da. Huo Jun and Meng Da couldn't help but feel a little entangled in their hearts when they saw Zhang Heng like this. However, people treat each other and don't go! Don't you leave people talking?

The two also ordered 3,000 elite soldiers and came to the front of the two armies. After dismounting, the two were not polite and sat directly opposite Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng saw that both of them were coming, so he asked bluntly: "Dare to ask the two generals, I don't know where Cheng Yin's official residence will be after Cheng Yin's surrender?" ”

"Now the second general Guan Yunchang is a general, as for the official residence, we don't know yet!" Meng Da replied.

"If a certain person dedicates the city to sincerity, how many products can be worshipped?"

"We are all generals under the command of General Zhengxi, do you know how much you are worth in the eyes of the general?" Meng Da said, "However, according to the past practice, after General Tou Cheng surrendered, he was at least above the top six ranks!" ”

This is a good thing to say, among the generals who came over to Tou Cheng, even the earliest Liao Hua and others were all generals who were promoted from the Liupin Protector Army.

"In that case, I wonder if the two generals can present a certain intention to General Guan? In the future, we will not forget the grace of the two! "It seems that Zhang Heng really wants to surrender.

Meng Da and Huo Jun glanced at each other, and understood in their hearts that this person must be because of Cheng Yin's surrender, seeing that Han Sui was lonely at this time, he wanted to surrender to Cheng.

Meng Da said: "Since the general is wholeheartedly sincere, the two of us will be the general to recommend General Guan to the front." We will immediately send an envoy to inform General Guan. Go back to the city and wait for the news! ”

After finishing speaking, he and Huo Jun led the troops back to their camp, waiting for Guan Yu to lead the arrival of the army.
