Since Gu Yong expressed his intention to surrender, he naturally did not regard himself as an outsider, and when he learned that Han Lie had plans to occupy Wu County, he offered a plan: "If the lord wants to annex Wu County, he should get rid of Xu Gong first, Xu Gong is a greedy person, and he has done a lot of evil, and he has been an official in Wu County for many years, causing countless tragedies, and my Wu County scholars hate him." ”

"Now the lord has a large army, you can take advantage of Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin to ask for help, through Wu County to Danyang, if Xu Gong is unwilling to borrow the road, then order it to be cut down, if it opens the city to borrow the road, then backhand capture, and then announce its guilt, Ming canonical punishment, as long as Xu Gong is removed, the matter of Wu County can be determined."

Since ancient times, it has been said that military generals are easy to kill, but as everyone knows, the verbal criticism of the literati is more than the sharp blade, Gu Yong is not seen as a humble gentleman, but once it comes to the battle of the camp, it is also murderous.

"What Lord Gu said is very true, but Xu Gong is suspicious and timid, the lord leads a large army to go, this person must be suspicious, but first write a letter and invite him to come to discuss the matter, it is expected that he will not dare to come, and then he will go to lobby and ask him to borrow the way, so although he is still not embankment, but he will have to make concessions because he is afraid of offending the lord, so this matter can be done." Chen Jiao pondered on the side, and the interface added.

To be honest, although Han Lie boasted that he had two thousand years of historical information in his mind, when it came to playing tricks and penetrating people's hearts, compared to the literati in front of him who had been figuring out their respective scriptures and knowledge since childhood, it was obviously still a little insufficient.

After listening to the suggestions of the two, he had to nod and say: "The plan of the two is very good, then it will be according to what the two of them say." ”

"Whoa." Gu Yong Chen Jiao happily responded, and then when Han Lie wrote an invitation letter to Xu Gong, Gu Yong said on the side: "If the lord wants to stabilize Jiangdong, there are two people who must be invited out of the mountain, one is Pengcheng Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu, and the other is Guangling Zhang Hong Zhang Zigang, these two are famous people in the world, Jiangdong scholars call them two zhang. ”

"The name of the two Zhang has already been famous, could it be that Fei Yuan sighs and knows where the two of them live now?" Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong's name, as Han Lie said, he is really like thunder, when he arrived in Guangling at the beginning of last year, he went to visit Zhang Hong, but his villagers said that he had crossed south to Jiangdong, so he had to give up, this will hear Gu Yong mention the two of them, he couldn't help but stop the pen in his hand.

"Speaking of which, Xia Guan does know the news of the two, among which Zhang Zibu lives in Wu County, and Zhang Zigang is now living in seclusion in Wuhu Township, Wuxi County, this person has some friendship with a certain person, but this person has an introverted personality and does not like to talk highly, if he wants to invite him out of the mountain, he still needs the lord to come forward in person and invite him honestly." Gu Yong, as a son of the Wujun clan, can be said to be described as a head snake is not an exaggeration at all, as a famous person in Jiangdong, it can be said that it is not strange at all that he intersects with a famous person like Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

"Now that I know their whereabouts, after settling in Wu County, I will immediately go and ask Zhang Zibu to come out of the mountain, and as for Zhang Zigang, I can only wait for the Danyang war to settle down before making a decision." Han Lie nodded, but he didn't feel embarrassed to invite someone in person, but what he didn't know was that Sun Ce, who had rushed from Shouchun to the Danyang front line at this moment, had already learned of Zhang Hong's whereabouts and was hurrying to Wuhu Township, where Zhang Hong lived.

The next day, Gu Yong led the crowd to welcome Han Lie's army into Lou County, and at the same time handed over the two thousand personal troops in his hands, leaving only more than a thousand servants in the family, and in the face of the two thousand elite soldiers sacrificed by Gu Yong, Han Lie could not help but express.

Immediately ordered the military advisor Guo Jia to draft a document, the court recommended Gu Yong to serve as the post of Wujun Juncheng, as for Chen Jiao is the main man in the army, of course, these so-called newspapers are just taking off their pants and farting, there are not a few letters that can reach the court, Han Lie preached it in public, it is just to cover people's eyes and ears, in fact, even if there is no appointment from the imperial court, as long as Gu Yong, the county prince, is recognized by Han Lie, then he can be safe and secure.

Of course, Han Lie really wanted to appoint Gu Yong's position as the county guard of Wu County, but at the moment, Xu Gong had not been cut off, in order to prevent Xu Gong from jumping over the wall in a hurry when he learned the news, Han Lie had to temporarily appoint Gu Yong as the county seat.

After incorporating the 2,000 private soldiers of the Gu Yong clan, Han Lie's strength once again exceeded 10,000, reaching 11,000, and rested in Lou County for three days, and Chen Jiao, who was sent to Wu County, sent a message that Xu Gong had agreed that Han Lie had agreed to lead the army through Wu County and go to the front line in Danyang.

There are two reasons why Xu Gong agreed so quickly this time, one is that Chen Jiao gave his eldest wife and uncle five hundred gold each, and gave Xu Gong a dragon pattern gold inlaid jade gui worth a thousand gold.

At the same time, Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin also sent his brother Zhou Xin to Wu County for help, and Zhou Xin also brought Xu Gong a valuable gift, in the face of such a rich property, Xu Gong, who has always been greedy for money, was fascinated by wealth for a while, and under Chen Jiao's gift lobbying, he finally agreed to the request of borrowing the road.

And Xu Gong also made a promise to Zhou Yan on one side, he would borrow the road to Guangling Taishou Han Lie to lead the army to cross the border and rush to aid the Danyang war, for this news, Zhou Yan was happy, but secretly worried, Danyang is only 8,000 defenders, but now he was appointed by Yuan Shu Wu Jingsun Ben two, led by 2,000 men and horses, all the way to break through six county seats, and Wu Jingsun Ben after capturing a number of cities, the strength has also expanded to 10,000 people, the threat to Danyang is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Yan This is the second time to come to Wu County for help.

Han Lie, who was stationed in Lou County, did not hesitate when he received the news from Chen Jiao, and the 11,000 troops rushed to Wu County overnight, and Han Lie's army rushed to the city of Wu County in less than two days for a distance of 140 miles.

The forward battalion led by Xu Huang arrived outside the east gate of Wu County an hour earlier than the Chinese army, that is, at four o'clock in the middle of the night, and the guard of the east gate was Xu Gong's wife-in-law He Meng, who had three hobbies, one was good wine, the second was lustful, and the third was money.

Chen Jiao, who stayed in Wu County as an internal response, invited He Meng to the largest Mingyue Song Ji Fang in Dongcheng last night, and spent a lot of money to find him a girl like a flower and jade to accompany him, not to mention, and poured him a night of wine, until the third watch, He Meng, who was drunk, hugged left and right and pulled the singer to fall asleep.

Chen Jiao, who was accompanied, stole He Meng's personal token, rushed to the gate of the East City, and took the token to the Yamen Governor on duty to open the East City Gate.

Although the Yamen Governor on duty in Dongcheng was suspicious, because he had seen He Meng and Chen Jiao go in and out together many times recently, and he had also heard that Chen Jiao was a guest of their top boss Xu Gong, although he was suspicious of the strange military order issued by Chen Jiao with a token, he finally did not ask for instructions, and ordered the city gate to be opened.

The 2,000 forward battalion led by Xu Huang quickly took over the defense of the East City Gate as soon as they entered the East City Gate.

At dawn, the Chinese army led by Han Lie followed, under the guidance of Chen Jiao, Han Lie led the Chinese army, and went straight to the county governor's mansion, Xu Gong, who had just woken up, was about to get up and dress, and the panicked shouts of the housekeeper in the house reached Xu Gong's ears from afar: "My lord, the mansion is surrounded by soldiers and horses." ”

"Master, this early in the morning, Steward Fan is yelling, what happened?" Xu Gong's concubine in the bed, who was tossed by Xu Gong for most of the night last night, was sleeping Zhengxiang, and when she heard Fan Dong's shouting at the door, she suddenly pushed Xu Gong with an unhappy face and complained.

If it was usual, when he heard the coquettish words of the concubine, Xu Gong would definitely echo and roar at the housekeeper Fan Dong, but just now he clearly heard Fan Dong shouting that the mansion was surrounded by soldiers and horses, and in this Wujun City, the soldiers and horses were all in his hands, but now he was surrounded by soldiers and horses, but he didn't know what was going on?

At this moment, Xu Gong was like a fire in his buttocks, and pushed away the little concubine who stretched out his lotus root-like jade arms, and he didn't even care about wearing clothes, so he rushed to the door: "Old Fan, can you see clearly who the person leading the troops is?" ”

"Lord, go quickly, it's the soldiers and horses of the Guangling Han thieves." Without waiting for Fan Dong to answer, a roar came from the gate of the outer courtyard, and the person who shouted was the leader of the dead soldiers that Xu Gong had raised for many years.

"Look for death." At this moment, it was Dian Wei who led the army to rush into battle, and a group of soldiers and horses led by him did not meet with resistance all the way into the county governor's mansion, but he did not expect that when he came to Xu Gong's back garden, he was resisted by a team of nearly 100 warriors.

If it weren't for the team led by Dian Wei and the Red Flame Army soldiers led by him, all of whom were veterans of a hundred battles, they would really not be able to attack the gate guarded by the hundred-man team for a while.

Dian Wei, who is killing the rise of the slaughter at this moment, holds a two-handed halberd, moves with his body, and the double halberd in his hand has a whirlwind spinning, and wherever he passes, the flesh and blood are flying, and he howls miserably.

The leader of the Dead Soldiers team, who was originally a death row prisoner, was captured by Xu Gong because Ren Xia helped his friend commit homicide, and Xu Gong saw that he was good, so he stayed by his side and became the leader of the dead soldiers team incognito.

Not to mention the leader of the spear in his hand, he does have some hard skills under his hands, under Dian Wei's hands, he blocked ten moves before he was stabbed in the right shoulder by Dian Wei's halberd, even when the spear fell off in his hand, he didn't snort, but raised his voice to tell Xu Gong in the inner courtyard that Dian Wei was fine.

Although this person was indeed hard, but it also completely angered Dian Wei, Dian Wei, who roared loudly, stepped out, the short halberd in his right hand slashed down diagonally, the cold light fell, blood sprayed flying, and the leader of the dead who couldn't dodge, with his head and hand above his right shoulder, was directly cut out by Dian Wei.

"Death to those who stand in my way." The murderous Dian Wei, the halberd in both hands did not pause at all, like a spinning spiral, rampage into the rest of the pile, although this group of dead soldiers are not afraid of death, but in the face of the god-like Dian Wei, and most of the Red Flame Army soldiers are several times the strict attack, they can only retreat, almost every step back, there is a corpse left in the courtyard wall.

When Xu Gong got dressed and rushed to the gate of the inner courtyard with a soft carry, a corpse had already fallen in front of his eyes, and in the courtyard of three hundred steps, blood flowed like a river, and the blue bricks on the ground had already been dyed red.

"Xu Gongxiaoer, you are so bold, you dare to lead the people to rebel, today is your death." Dian Wei, who had already been stained red with blood, stabbed to death a rebellious dead soldier with his backhand, and when he saw Xu Gong with his bags on his back, with several female dependents and four young men and women, Dian Wei, who was red-eyed, snorted coldly, brandished his halberd and slashed over.

"Spare ......your life" Xu Gong, who felt the imminent breath of death, turned pale with fright, and he staggered under his feet, and stretched out his hand to block the most favored concubine who was trembling on his side.

"Bang!" The little concubine who was blocked in front of Xu Gong, didn't even have time to scream, and was directly cut in two by the short halberd in Dian Wei's hand, and the sharp edge broke through the body, and Xu Gong, who was hiding behind, was also not spared, when the halberd blade crossed his chest, it slashed through his chest, bringing out a blood mark one foot long, although it was not fatal, but he covered his chest with both hands in pain, and fell to the ground with a miserable howl, but the blood on the wound could not be stopped from gushing out.

"Ah...... Spare your life, the general spare your life......"

Several women and children behind Xu Gong, when Xu Gong, who was bleeding profusely, fell to the ground and screamed, the frightened women and children screamed and threw themselves on Xu Gong and shouted.

"All the people in the Xu Mansion are arrested, and not a single living mouth can be let go." Dian Wei frowned, but he didn't continue to attack the woman and the child, he still had this bottom line, even if he had the intention of slaughtering, but as long as he thought of Han Lie's strict order, he couldn't help but put away his killing intent.

When he turned to leave, Dian Wei's face was not good-looking, because he knew that although he won this battle, the result was not ideal, because the five hundred soldiers he brought into the Xu Mansion had killed all the hundred dead soldiers in the Xu Gong Mansion after the battle just now, but the sacrifice he paid was twenty-seven more than the enemy, that is to say, while he killed one hundred dead soldiers, he also sacrificed one hundred and twenty-seven soldiers.

The result of this battle is not to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, but to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 1,200 yourself, if this is a contest of equal strength, Dian Wei was afraid for a while when he thought about it, and when he returned to see Han Lie outside the mansion, he had always been very arrogant, and he also blushed with shame and reported the battle situation in the mansion truthfully.

"Lord, this is a mistake by the lower officials, don't blame General Dian, I heard that Xu Gong had a group of dead soldiers under him, but because I didn't see it with my own eyes, I thought it was a rumor, if I was cautious just now, first open the way with a strong bow, and General Dian would not have this loss." Without waiting for Han Lie to speak, Chen Jiao on the side hurriedly opened his mouth to ask for sin.

"Since the incident has happened, we don't need to blame ourselves too much, but we must sum up the lessons of this matter, especially after the war, we must preach it to the whole army, we have won successive battles recently, and there is a general atmosphere of arrogance in the army, which is very bad, I think it is just a good opportunity to take advantage of this incident to rectify the morale of the army." Han Lie frowned slightly, and looked around at the generals left and right.

"Whoa." Zhao Yun and the others hurriedly responded.

Xu Gong was killed, the county was captured, he was scattered among his subordinates in the city, and under the deployment of Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan, Dian Wei and others with military orders, they were all incorporated without using any soldiers.

After taking Wu County, Han Lie immediately ordered Gu Yong to take over all the government affairs of Wu County, Chen Jiao took over the matter of city prevention and security, Han Lie and the military advisor Guo Jia, as well as Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Dian Wei generals, only rested for one day, and then under the leadership of Zhou Xin, the younger brother of Zhou Xin, the Taishou of Danyang, led 8,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to Danyang day and night. The second is to be responsible for supervising the military supplies needed by the army, after all, 8,000 soldiers and horses rushed to Danyang, and the need for all the way is definitely not small, although Zhou Yan has repeatedly said that Danyang will be responsible for the military supplies, but as the commander of the army, Han Lie naturally cannot rely on the lifeblood of the military supplies in the hands of others, after all, there is an old saying that is good, no matter how good other people's family is, it is not as good as his own.
