Jiang Wei's choice (3)

On the second day, when the sunset was approaching, the last trace of the sunset was left on the dark armor of the Han army; Outside the west county of Tianshui County, the horns sounded in unison, and tens of thousands of Han soldiers were mighty, approaching the city wall of Xixian County with the momentum of destroying and decaying, with the obvious intention of capturing the city in front of them, which could be regarded as invisible.

At this time, standing directly above the head of the city was Shangguan Yan, who was next to Tianshui County's Taishou Ma Zun, looking at the endless Han army array in front of him, he did not have the slightest sadness, nor a trace of timidity, only the curvature of the corners of his mouth.

The rest of the Wei soldiers on the city wall standing on the female wall, clasping the bow Xuan, kept their eyes on Guan Xuan's body, as if they were waiting for something, and more like they were looking forward to something, but they were panicking in their hearts at this time, as if it was about to collapse after dark, their hearts were beating violently, their blood veins and tendons were congested, and they exploded immediately, but they didn't show it yet.

Gradually, the Han army had reached a distance of a hundred steps from the city wall, but stopped; As if they had no intention of annexing the small city in front of them in one fell swoop, the soldiers of the front army spread out on both sides, leaving a wide passage in the middle, as if they were preparing.

After all, the sunset did not last long, and gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision. The Chinese army of the Han army poured out a cavalry of ten people at this time, and when he looked closely, the person who led the man seemed to be the same skin color as the dark night, holding a spear, who else could he be besides the world-famous Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide.

Lema stood in front of the city gate, and with the sky that was already darkening at this time, Zhang Fei was like a demon lord from the underground, wanting to claim his life tonight, to stop his greedy cravings.

"Drink! Listen to the people at the head of the city, I am Zhang Yide, who is a Yanren, and those who have the courage will come down and fight with me at night, don't be the turtle with the shrunken head, and open the door and surrender if you don't have the guts, otherwise your grandfather Zhang will enter the city and let Er and others regret their decision to stick to it; Zhang Fei stood under the city and shouted loudly, without any sound interference, Zhang Fei's shouts resounded inside and outside the city walls, but it also made the people in the city frightened.

Shangguan Yu was not deterred by it at all, and still looked at every move under the city with a calm face, but he did not want to surrender the city.

"My lord, the following officials look at it: the Han army is powerful, we have less than a thousand people, and they are still recruits who have not been warned, it is better to temporarily surrender to the Han army, or he will return to Wei and continue to serve the Wei court." Xicheng County's trembling voice was obviously afraid of the Han army's next siege.

Looking at the low Xixian city wall, Shangguan Yu also knew in his heart that in the face of the well-prepared Han army, he would definitely not be able to resist even the first charge, and he had no intention of resisting the Han army at all. The guards on the city wall kept looking at themselves, Shangguan Yu knew that if he wasn't here, the county commander of this West County would have dedicated the city a long time ago, but he was engaged in the Taishou Mansion, but the position was a few steps larger than the county order, so the city did not surrender immediately, but set his eyes on himself, waiting for a decision.

"In this case, there is nothing we can do, and for the sake of the people in this city, we have no choice but to surrender to Liu Bei." Shaking his head, he said helplessly.

"Nuo" county order responded.

"Open the city gate, I will personally welcome the Han army into the city," Shangguan Dahan shouted; Without the slightest hesitation, the soldiers immediately opened the city gates, perhaps saying that they had been waiting for this moment for a long time, after all, this was a war without suspense.

The city gate was slowly opened, led by Shangguan Yu, and the civil and military officials in the city walked out with their heads bowed and walked in the direction of Zhang Fei.

Shangguan Ju held the official seal of Xixian County, and the people behind him held the roster of Xixian County and bowed to Zhang Fei: "The general is above, and he will be bowed next; ”

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and gave a look to the deputy general beside him, who immediately dismounted and took over the official seal and roster; "It's all soft eggs, they don't have a fight, they are so scared that they want to surrender! Hum! Come with me! Zhang Fei said dejectedly. It seems that Shangguan's surrender is not very much to his liking;

Shangguan Yu's heart trembled uncontrollably when he heard this, and the spirit on his face before also disappeared at this moment, and the heart full of ambition before fell to the bottom. Originally, I also wanted to have an offensive and defensive battle with the Han army and show my martial arts, but I didn't expect the soldiers defending the city to be so timid, let alone that the Han army would come so quickly, but the previous preparations did not come in handy, only like the rest of the city donors, there was no new intention to attract Liu Bei. went to see Liu Bei at this moment, but he was only slightly comforted by him. And Zhang Fei's reprimand also happened to talk about his sore spots.

"It seems that the rest needs to rely on my own ability, and I just hope that there is a chance to show it." Shangguan Yan read silently.

After resting in Xicheng for one night, the Han army did not stop at all, and prepared to start a new day's march, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yicheng; Because of the meritorious dedication of the city last night, Shangguan Yu was temporarily left in the army by Liu Bei, and was ready to make arrangements after capturing the entire Tianshui.

Shangtai County; Jiang Wei and others, who rushed from Xixian to Shangtai County two days ago, finally arrived at the city of Shangtai County on this day, but the city gate was closed.

"Who are you?" shouted the soldier on the wall.

"I am Jiang Wei, the general of Tianshui, and the rest are county officials, so you haven't opened the city gate yet, let us and others enter the city;" Jiang Weili shouted under the city.

"It turned out to be Jiang Wei, the general of Zhonglang, Jiang Wei and others have rebelled against Wei and surrendered to Han, and those who see it can shoot them, and they will not leave Hugh to blame my men for being ruthless." The tower of the city answered loudly.

"Boyo, it seems that Ma Zun is forcing me to rebel against Wei and Han! I have already given such an order, and I, Liang Xu, am also blind, and I am actually an official under a despicable and shameless person like Ma Zun; should have listened to Shangguan Yu's words and surrendered the Han army early, so that he would not be insulted by this; Tianshui County Gong Cao Liangxu raised his eyebrows angrily.

"Boyo, Gong Cao is right, let's go to the Han army! We did what we had to do! In all conscience. Lord Bo Yin rewarded and persuaded.

Jiang Wei looked at the face of the man on the city tower just now, his eyes were full of tears, he glared at him resentfully, biting his trembling lips. The rest of the people looked at Jiang Wei's appearance and didn't want to comfort him, as if everyone could understand.

[Liang Xu, Shu Han Dahonglu. Originally Cao Wei's Tianshui Gong Cao, he later descended to Shu Han with Jiang Wei. The official to the great long autumn. Yin Xian, originally the master of Wei Tianshui County, surrendered to Shu Han during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, and the official was appointed to Jinwu. 】
