Chapter 30: Risking Your Life

Han Sui's soldiers and horses were stationed in the west of Jincheng, and those who stayed in the barracks and did not participate in the siege of Jincheng were Han Sui's subordinates, and even the most resourceful figure in the northwest except Jia Xu: Cheng Gongying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info genius only needs 3 seconds to remember

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the east of Jincheng, Cheng Gongying walked out of the camp and looked to the east, where the sky was covered by dust, and it was slightly inferred that Cheng Gongying knew that the army was coming from the east, and it was not a few.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Cheng Gongying's face was solemn.

After sunset, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, Ma Play, and Zhang Heng led the four people back to the camp to make noise and quarrel together.

In the handsome tent, Cheng Gongying saw that the four generals had returned, so he asked, "Ma Chao invited Guo Jia?" ”

The four generals stopped their mouths at the same time and gave Cheng Gongying an affirmative answer.

Alas!

With a fist and a high-five, Cheng Gongying sighed loudly, with a regretful expression.

"Ma Chao is luring the wolf into the room! Anyway, if he doesn't send people under the fence, it will be a dead end, and Guo Jia will definitely not watch from the wall. ”

Cheng Gongying understands very well that Guo Jia must be waiting to reap the benefits.

But the situation has never been in Han Sui's control.

If Han Sui has no food, he will definitely perish.

If you ask Ma Chao for food, you can't borrow it from Guo Jia, so Han Sui only has one way left, to fight Ma Chao and plunder the materials of Ma Chao's territory.

The rush to break through Jincheng was to prevent Guo Jia from using any name to conquer Liangzhou.

With the fortified city of Jincheng, I dare not say that Han Sui will definitely be able to block the attack of Guo Jia's army, at least the chances of self-protection are a few points higher.

And the first thing Han Sui did after plundering the supplies was to return to his territory to recruit troops, also in order to urgently replenish his strength in case Guo Jia, a tiger, attacked.

"Afraid of what? Today, Guo Jia's soldiers and horses entered Jincheng, I saw it clearly, this cavalry force was full of 8,000 to 10,000, Ma Chao called to open the city gate in front, and the people who led the army behind, I looked at it from afar, it should be Guo Jia, who looked very young. Guo Jia is stupid, his brain is confused, a good cavalry unit does not rush outside the city to kill, what is the use of burrowing into the city? I see, I will wait for tomorrow to storm Jincheng, as long as the city is broken, Guo Jia will be captured in one fell swoop, not to mention this Jincheng, it is to use Guo Jia to blackmail Chang'an, to blackmail Chengdu, not to ask for anything! ”

Yang Qiu avoided the route of Yinlingfei's ride into the city, but he also secretly investigated the number of Guo Jia's soldiers and horses when he waved his army to the south.

There is one thing that everyone can't be sure of, that is, is Guo Jia here or not?

On the handsome flag of Yinling Feiqi is a Guo character.

But Guo Jia is famous for liking to play virtual and real tricks on the battlefield, and he really did it if he put on a big trick to scare off the enemy.

Yang Qiu had never seen Guo Jia before, and he only guessed it, but his tone was very determined.

Cheng Yi, Ma Play, and Zhang Hengsan will echo Yang Qiu's proposal.

Being able to capture Guo Jia alive is not only a matter of glory and wealth, but also a beautiful thing that has made Megatron famous!

Cheng Gongying's expression was uncertain, and the four generals were discussing enthusiastically, and even discussing what to extort from Chang'an and Chengdu after capturing Guo Jia alive, some people wanted countless money and food, some people wanted to use this to make Guo Jia's forces withdraw from Guanzhong, and some people wanted to exchange Guo Jia's life for his fairy-like wives and concubines in his backyard......

"Not good! Withdraw your troops! ”

Cheng Gongying suddenly shouted.

This shout shocked the four generals and looked at Cheng Gongying in confusion, Guo Jia sent 10,000 cavalry, and as a result, he also entered the city to give up the advantage of horse warfare, what else is wrong with this?

Cheng Gongying looked anxious, and urged the four generals: "Hurry back to the camp and order the whole army to withdraw overnight, it will be too late!" ”

"Why withdraw? Even if Jincheng had Guo Jia's reinforcements, Guo Jia's soldiers and horses did not bring grain and grass, as long as they were trapped. ”

Ma Wan wants to continue to attack Jincheng, and the other three generals also have this idea.

The temptation to capture Guo Jia alive is too great, fame and fame, and if you catch Guo Jia, you will be famous and advantageous.

Cheng Gongying angrily pointed to Ma Yao's nose and said, "Are you sure it was Guo Jia who led the army into Jincheng?" What if not? Guo Jia has more than 100,000 troops in Guanzhong, and his only great enemy in the Kwantung region, Cao Cao, is attacking Hebei, and Guo Jia can even be undefended at Hangu Pass without any crisis. His cavalry has come to the Golden City, but what about his foot soldiers? If you can't capture Jincheng tomorrow, the lord's 20,000 soldiers and horses will all be buried here! You think Guo Jia is stupid, but in fact, Guo Jia just makes you think he is stupid! After his foot soldiers arrive, the soldiers and horses in Jincheng will be dispatched again, and you won't even have time to flee for your life at that time! ”

The four generals looked at each other, and no one could use words to outline a beautiful future, from the fantasy of stepping into the clouds to the far-reaching reality of falling, it seemed that people experienced a journey from life to death at this moment.

"Really, really? Is Guo Jia really sure that these 10,000 cavalry can hold the city? ”

Yang Qiu didn't dare to boast now that it must be Guo Jia who entered the city, whether Guo Jia was the bait or Guo Jia's cavalry was the bait, the meaning was different, but the risk was the same.

Cheng Gongying put away his angry expression and sneered: "Ma Chao's 10,000 men can hold Jincheng for five days, and 5,000 people can hold it for at least three days, and now there are 10,000 more defenders, even if you stand at the head of the city with your fists to defend it, how long will it take you to break through Jincheng?" If you really want to know the results, you can give it a try. Ladies and gentlemen, the power of the dispatch of troops and horses is in your hands, whether to attack or retreat, you decide for yourself, I have decided to return to Wuwei overnight, and we will meet again. ”

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Gongying bowed goodbye to the four of them, and walked out of the handsome tent without looking back.

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and the people left in silence, returning to their respective camps and immediately starting to withdraw their troops.

Ma Chao's entry into the city was cheered by the soldiers who defended the city, and Guo Jia followed closely behind, riding on a horse and following Ma Chao to Pang De's residence.

In the dark room with a strong smell of medicine, Pound was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were blank, his body was soft, his body was cold and sweating all the time, and he would be dizzy when he got out of bed and walked two steps, which was not as distressing as the plaster in his eyes.

Abandoned son.

Ma Chao broke through, Pound did not keep up due to illness, in all fairness, Pound did not blame Ma Chao, he was a burden at this time, and he did not want to become a stumbling block for Ma Chao.

However, Jincheng, who was left under siege by the lord like this, can imagine that he will be lost to the end.

Listening to the tragic shouts and killings in the city for several days, Pound hated that he was powerless and could only sit and wait for death, and there was a lot of cheers before, which should be the cheers of the soldiers and civilians defending the city after the enemy withdrew at night.

"Ling Ming, where is Ling Ming? Where is Ling Ming? ”

An anxious shout came from the courtyard outside.

Pound, who was lying on the bed, heard this voice as if it was familiar, and a figure suddenly appeared in his dead heart, and when he was about to doubt the letter, the door was slammed open from the outside.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room, and the light slanted into the room showed the scene of Wei Chen's drifting, Pound barely stood up and looked up, a figure blocked the light at the door of the room, and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly in the dim vision, but Pound was more convinced in his heart who this person was in front of him.

Someone rushed to the bed, and the person who caught Pound's eye was Guo Jia.

"Ling Ming, how are you doing? What about doctors? Are you seriously ill? ”

Guo Jia's close care made Pound stunned for a moment and then burst into tears.

"Envoy, I'm ......"

Pound had mixed feelings, but he was choked up and speechless.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, and said, "Don't say anything, recuperate with peace of mind, I'll go find a doctor for you." ”

With that, Guo Jia turned around and left, and ordered to find the healer in the city.

After Guo Jia left, Ma Chao walked into Pound's room, and Pound, who had already put away his tears, wanted to get up and salute Ma Chao, but was stopped by Ma Chao.

"Lord, how many soldiers and horses did Guo Envoy bring with him on this trip? Can you repel the enemy forces outside the city? ”

Compared with himself, Pound is more concerned about the safety of Jincheng.

Ma Chao said not optimistically: "Guo Yuanjun came to Jincheng with 10,000 cavalry in the starry night, and did not fight with the enemy army outside the city, and now Jincheng is still under siege. ”

When Pound heard this, his face changed greatly.

"Guo Lingjun has strong soldiers and strong horses, as long as he sends 30,000 troops to relieve the siege of Jincheng, why did he only bring 10,000 cavalry?"

Ma Chao's expression was sluggish, and he said astringently: "But Guo Yuanjun only has 10,000 cavalry, after hearing that you were trapped in Jincheng, he immediately ordered a long-distance attack, and the follow-up troops may be able to arrive a few days later, as long as they hold these days, Jincheng will be able to turn the corner." ”

His expression was stunned, and Pound was speechless.

Guo Jia led the cavalry to Jincheng in person, did he hear that he was trapped here?

With only 10,000 troops in danger, Pang De asked himself that his life was not as precious as Guo Jia's.

Ma Chao knew that if Guo Jia hadn't heard that Pang De was in trouble, he probably wouldn't have rushed to Jincheng in such a hurry, and he wouldn't hide this from Pang De, perhaps, Ma Chao is not an unfathomable monarch with outstanding wisdom and strategy, but he is at least a man who is above board.

Even if Han Sui's grain was deducted, Ma Chao was also upright and did not beat around the bush.

After Guo Jia led the army into the city, he asked Gan Ning to take over the city defense, which was also agreed by Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is helpless, fighting a war requires concerted efforts, Guo Jiaqiang, naturally wants to dominate the situation, and it is definitely impossible for Ma Chao to command Guo Jia's soldiers and horses.

As for whether Guo Jia will directly annex Ma Chao's territory after taking the lead, Ma Chao doesn't have to think about it at all, he can't even stop Han Sui, how can he stop Guo Jia? Regardless of whether Guo Jia robs openly or secretly, Ma Chao is a weak person who can be slaughtered by others.

asked people to go around the city to look for a doctor, Guo Jia saw that Pang De was fine, and did not ask again, the patient needed to recuperate, not to be warmly disturbed by others.

Walking up to the city, the scenery outside the city was dim at night, and before Guo Jia could see the movement of the enemy's camp, Gan Ning walked over with some excitement and whispered to Guo Jia: "Lord, Han Sui's soldiers and horses are retreating, are they going out of the city to chase?" ”

Withdrawn?

Guo Jia thought for a while and chuckled: "There are capable people under Han Sui's account, such a decisive retreat, whether it is afraid of me or to preserve strength, is not a decision that ordinary people can make." ”

According to Guo Jia's previous expectations, Han Sui's soldiers and horses saw him enter the city, if they did not storm Jincheng, they would at least wait and see for a few days, and then retreat after the exploration cavalry found out the situation in the east, but now that they were retreating so quickly, someone in the formation must have guessed Guo Jia's intentions.
