Chapter 254: The Battle of Huguan

Outside Huguan, Han Jin did not immediately attack the city, but only ordered to surround it on three sides. In the big tent, General Wen Chengwu gathered together and was discussing the current situation.

"Lord, why don't you attack the city, although this Huguan is sinister, but it is not a difficult thing for our army, as long as the lord gives me 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to take the Huguan within a day." Zhang Fei said with a grin. The others echoed. It seems that faith is not ordinarily great.

Han Jin frowned, these people are a little proud, this is not a good sign, in fact, since the attack on Hanoi, Han Jin has found that some generals are a little arrogant, for several years, Han Jin's army has not heard of a defeat, and then created an illusion to his subordinates, Han Jin is the god of war, invincible, invincible, as long as he follows the general, he will only be promoted and rich. This is certainly a good phenomenon, which shows that the soldiers trust you and are willing to follow you.

However, the excessive self-confidence of the generals has become pride, and the defeat of arrogant soldiers in history has become inevitable. How could Han Jin not know that it seemed necessary to splash water on them to cool them down.

"Ben will not attack the city, naturally there is a plan not to attack the city, what, you really think that the 20,000 troops in Huguan are vegetarian or what, you are running around on a war horse, most of the brothers are two-legged, they are tired, Ben will see that you are more energetic, in this case, you go and lead the troops to arrest the people around Huguan, all sent to Luoyang, remember not to force as much as possible, tell them to Luoyang, Ben will divide the land to them. Anyway, don't let a grain of grain be left around for the defenders inside, you know? ”

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "Does the lord plan to besiege Huguan for a long time?" ”

Han Jin smiled but did not speak, and motioned for Guo Jia next to him to speak. Guo Jia coughed and laughed: "General Zhang, the lord's intention is not in Huguan, but in the entire state." ”

Zhang Fei shook his head and still didn't understand, "Since you want to take the state, you have to take the Huguan, I heard that the rescuers are coming, and if the lord doesn't give an order, it won't be easy to wait for them to come." ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Yide, if they don't come, the main chef will be disappointed." ”

Zhang Fei tilted his head and thought about it, looked at everyone staring at him and smiled, scratched his head, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said excitedly: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong, is the lord planning to surround and send reinforcements?" ”

Han Jin replied with a smile: "Yide's head is finally bright, it's not easy, go quickly, you can't be lazy in the task that Ben will tell you!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't leave a piece of for them." Zhang Fei retreated happily.

"Fengxiao, is there any news from General Huangfu?" Waiting for Zhang Fei to go out, Han Jin asked Guo Jiadao.

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the old general Huangfu has always been an old-fashioned soldier, and Zilong is a careful person, there will definitely be no delay in such a major event, but I am worried that even if Taiyuan is taken, Yuan Shao's rescue will also arrive, and then our army is very likely to fight on both sides and be disadvantageous to the army!" ”

"Feng Xiao is too careful, hehe, at this time, the lord has already made a decision in his heart, Feng Xiao is just worried about the counterattack of the big family in Bingzhou and this pot." Xi Zhicai said with a smile next to him, not worried at all.

"Oh, doesn't the lord already have a way?"

Han Jin shook his head and said: "How can Ben Jiang have any way, it's just that this and the state people will solve it by themselves, although the Taiyuan Wang family is powerful, but Wang Yun is dead, and the other branches are already frightened, and there is the Sima family lobbying here, how dare they mess around and say it, Ben Jiang hopes that they can be bold and do something out, Ben Jiang needs a lot of money and food for this campaign, these misers, that is not rich and flowing." ”

Sima Yi next to him suddenly tightened his eyes when he heard this, what does this general mean, he said this in front of me, didn't he want to blackmail me, it looks like he has to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster again.

"As for the kettle!" Han Jin groaned, and suddenly asked Sima Yi next to him, "Zhongda, do you have any way to win the pot pass?" ”

Sima Yi frowned, and bowed respectfully: "The general has already made up his mind in his heart, how can his subordinates talk nonsense. ”

Han Jin smiled and said: "Zhongda, you just come and listen, one person is short and two people are long, and one person is worried, if there is anything inconsiderate about the thing, it is not a mistake." ”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that he was targeted by the general, "The lord has just said, while besieging Huguan, let them ask for help, so that the defenders of Taiyuan will be transferred, and the people of Huguan will not be supplied, and when the time comes, they will have no food." The general's army covered up the past, and naturally took the Huguan in one fell swoop. ”

Han Jin secretly scolded in his heart, this kid is like a ghost, he said Lao Tzu's words in a different way, change the soup without changing the medicine, hum, you kid just pretend, if you annoy Lao Tzu and cut you directly, let you pretend when the time comes.

While they were deliberating, a spies suddenly came to report. "General, the state assassin Shi Gaogan has arrived a hundred miles away with the rescue army. Please, General, decide! ”

When Han Jin heard this, he immediately became happy, this high-ranking cadre is quite decisive, well, he still has the aura of a general, but it's a pity that his head is not very bright. "Hey, why aren't you leaving?"

Han Jin looked at the spy and asked.

The spy raised his head and said: "General, there is one more thing, Yuan Shao sent the general Yan Liang to come to Hanoi with an army of 50,000, Wen Chou led an army of 100,000 to go to the tiger prison, and Yuan Shao's army of 300,000 rushed to Hanoi in the back. ”

"What?" Sima Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the spy with incredulous eyes.

On the contrary, Han Jin and the others were not surprised, and they were smiling. Sima Yi immediately realized his gaffe, coughed dryly and said, "The lord has atoned for his sins, and his subordinates have lost their temper." ”

Han Jin waved his hand, "Zhongda also cares about our army, what kind of gaffe is not out of shape." ”

"Stand down! Ben got it. Han Jin didn't look much surprised. As if everything was expected, calm and indifferent.

"Lord, Yuan Benchu is menacing this time, it looks like he is going to fight to the death with the lord!" Xi Zhicai was worried. After all, the gambling house has an army of more than 400,000 people, and Yuan Shao's account is even more capable and righteous, although his own side has a plan, he is still a little worried.

Han Jin exhaled a sigh of relief and made up his mind, whether he was dead or alive was at this station, and if he won it, he would dominate the north, and then seize the world and lose it...... I'm afraid that I will only end up with a dead man. However, seeing that everyone under his account is, his confidence has risen, and the general has the strongest army, the most powerful general, and the most outstanding strategist, what are you afraid of?

"Haha, they're finally here, it seems that the lord's plan has succeeded, and now it's time to clean them up. Lord, it's time to close the net. Guo Jia smiled indifferently, with a strong confidence in his smile. infected everyone present.

"Yes, I'm waiting here to toss, isn't it just to fight to the death with Yuan Shao, what else is there to be melancholy, the lord asks for a subordinate team, and his subordinates are willing to slaughter Yuan Shao, come and see him." Ma Chao shouted with a grin.

Ma Teng hurriedly shouted beside him, "Meng Qi, what nonsense, stand down." "His son is becoming more and more lawless, and he doesn't listen to anyone in the army except for the words of the general and himself, and he fights and kills at every turn. It really gave him a headache.

Han Jin smiled and said: "Meng Qi is ambitious, he will be very happy, don't worry, this time there is a battle for you, but for now, it is important to win the pot pass first." ”

After speaking, he forgot to look at the sky outside, and asked Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, General Huangfu should act, right?" ”

Xi Zhicai thought carefully for a while before he nodded, and said: "Yes, as long as the high-level army is too far away, the old general will immediately send troops, according to the distance, at this moment, I am afraid that it has already started." ’”

Han Jin patted his thigh, stood up happily and said: "Okay, since that's the case, I will take Huguan tonight, and then wait for work and defeat Gao Gan, the old general over there will take Yanmen and go straight to Taiyuan, and he will be able to meet us in less than half a month, but Yuan Benchu has made a bloody capital this time, and the general can't be careless, and he will pass the order, so that Wenyuan will guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and he must block Wen Chou, and the rest of the people, rectify the army, take Huguan tonight, and the Huguan will be closed, and the party will be in his hands." ”

All the generals agreed in unison, all of them were gearing up, ready to do a big job, it has been several years, and it is finally time to start a great cause, Han Jin looked at the patrol soldiers coming and going outside the tent, and said with emotion, this time, I don't know how many people will die. War is a killing machine, but if it does not end as soon as possible, then the command will make the world even more chaotic and war-torn and chaotic. At this moment, Han Jin suddenly rose with great pride.

Sima Yi listened to everyone's words, and had already roughly figured out a series of plans for Han Jin, and was a little stunned at this moment, is this Han Jin stupid or stupid, and he actually wants to defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop and take the four states of Hebei, this is ...... Is it possible?

"Wang Yue listens to the order, tonight's third watch, you lead a hundred special forces to climb the city wall, open the city gate, and let our army enter, there must be no mistake."

Wang Yue agreed and strode away. The special forces have been training for several years, and now they are finally useful. The mule is a horse and you will know tonight.

"Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei listened to the order, as soon as the city gate was broken, the two of you immediately rushed into the city with 20,000 iron horsemen, seized the four gates, and no one was allowed to escape from the city."

"Ma Tenghuaxiong listened to the order, and after breaking the city, he immediately led 10,000 troops to attack the Taishou Mansion, won the Shuai Yin, and left the enemy general." Xu Huang, Li Su, Mengda, Li Meng, Wang Fang, you and a few others each led their subordinates to break the city and enter the city, maintain the order of the people, and there are rebels who dare to fish in troubled waters and rob by fire, and they will be executed on the spot! ”

"Gao Shun Ma super defensive battalion, there must be no mistake!" Han Jin gave an order, and the army moved in unison.

In Huguan, the battle clouds were thick, and the whole city knew that the general had come to seize the state with 200,000 soldiers. Some people are happy and some are worried, the common people heard that it was Han Jin who brought the soldiers to come, and they were all overjoyed, and the people in the local areas directly under the general were full of food and drink, and they had flatbread and steamed buns to eat every day, and life was called a happiness. The common people have long been looking forward to the general coming here that day, so that they can also live a good life, and now the dream is about to come true.

And Yuan Wang, the Taishou Lord sitting in the Taishou Mansion, is different, this person has no ability himself, just because he is a disciple of the Yuan family, so he has to be in a high position here, and it is just peaceful and prosperous in peacetime, but when this war comes, he is afraid, if he is not worried about going back and being slaughtered by Yuan Shao, he is afraid that he will run away now.

"Someone, strengthen vigilance tonight, send more troops on the city wall to collect it, and send heavy troops around the Taishou Mansion to guard it, so as not to cause chaos among the thieves." Yuan Wang ordered to his henchmen, and he also knew that he usually offended some people, for fear that others would take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Wiped myself off the card.

Night, in Yuan Wang's anxiety and Han Jin's expectation, the night of July is still so hot, in this mountain, there are countless mosquitoes, but this is difficult for Wang Yue's subordinates, years of hard training, these people have already been afraid of cold and heat, insects and snakes, not to mention the heat and mosquitoes.

They quietly touched the city and found the place where the shadow lurked, and since it was the first mission, Wang Yue personally led the team. He silently watched the sky, and when he heard the sound of bangs in the city, he waved his hand and found a spot where no one was around.

They were not located in the south of the city, but in the east of the city, where the defenders were less heavily defended than in the south. Wang Yue watched a pair of patrolmen walk by, waved his hand, a hundred people quickly took out a set of ropes from their bodies, took out the crossbow on their backs, shot an iron arrow with a hook, grabbed the rope on the tail of the arrow, felt that the top was firmly behind, one by one quickly climbed up, they were like raccoon cats, agile, flying as if they were on the city, fortunately, God helped, tonight it was dark, and the soldiers in the city could not see clearly. Wang Yue was even more exaggerated, pinching the rope with one hand, and with a light touch on the city wall of self-love on the soles of his feet, his body would go up a few feet, if Han Jin saw it on the spot, he would definitely worship it, the legendary light skill!

After going to the city, Wang Yue made a gesture, and they quickly dispersed in pairs. Each groped for the south of the city to erase. In order to be foolproof, Yuan Wang lined up more than 5,000 troops on the south side of the city, even if he rested in shifts, there were still 25,000 at this time.

Wang Yue roughly calculated, there were more than 500 enemy troops at the city gate, as long as the soldiers at the head of the city could hear the sound and arrive, at that time his party would inevitably enter a battle to the death, and the task would be difficult to do.

At this moment, a team of people and horses came over, and one of them rode a horse with a big grin, looking like a leader-like figure, and shouted: "Boys, cheer up, as long as we hold for two or three days, the rescue of Lord Assassin Shi will come, at that time, what general, all want him to become a dead general, and then enter Chang'an City, I heard that there are a lot of good girls who look like water, grab a few will go home to warm the bed." ”

Speaking of dizziness, the spirit of the soldiers immediately came, and everyone laughed, one of them teased: "General, I heard that there are several wives of the general, all of them are stunning beauties, do you want to rob them when the time comes!" ”

The leader glared at him and scolded, "Fart, it's the grandson who doesn't want it." ”

After speaking, he sighed again, and said: "But just think about it here, how do you know the prestige of the general, all of your subordinates don't want to die, I heard that Zhang Heitan can eat people alive, not to mention that he can't beat Chang'an, even if he can fight where to rob the general's wife and concubine, it won't be our turn to come." Brothers, why are you just running errands, charging in front when you are fighting, and standing back when you are done receiving your reward. Don't think about the benefits. ”

When the leader said this, the atmosphere of the crowd was obviously lowered, Yuan Jun has always had bad military discipline, corruption from top to bottom, and the soldiers don't talk about military salaries, even if they can eat enough, it would be good.

"Hey, I heard that the general's subordinates can earn a lot of military salaries as soldiers, and they can get a lot of money when they die on the battlefield, and they can make a martyr themselves. Why...... It's a hard life! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll sigh, you all say you're addicted, I can tell you, don't dare to say this in front of Lord Taishou, otherwise everyone will die, Taishou hates the general the most, and scolds him at noon today." Defend the city well, no one is allowed to open the city without the order of me and Taishou. With that, the leader turned and left.

Wang Yue smiled secretly, his heart moved, he had already paid attention, made a gesture, asked his subordinates to hide and stand by, and followed lightly.

The leader came to a house with a pair of men and horses, gave a command, and went into the house himself.

After a while, the lights came on, and there was a sound of talking in the room, and the voices were a man and a woman, and then after a burst of gurgling, the lights went out. Wang Yue laughed, and already knew what the other party was doing inside. Boy, it's really up to you to die, when is this time, you dare to do this, you deserve to be unlucky.

One overturned, got down from the room, and gently pried them open with a knife, the two people in the room may be keen on a certain sport, and they didn't hear the sound for a while, and when Wang Yue rushed to the window and handed a steel knife to the necks of the two, they woke up the two.

Looking at the bright knife, the leader trembled with fright, and said in a cold voice: "You, you, who are you, what are you doing here, so bold, do you know who I am?" Wang Yue asked the entourage behind him to light the candlelight, and under the oil lamp, the little leader lay naked on the back of a woman, who was lying on the bed. The lower body is also combined.

Wang Yue and the entourage behind him couldn't help laughing, this guy is still backward, but the woman is also a little bolder, at this time, she is staring at Wang Yue with her eyes open, there is no trace of fear in her eyes, Wang Yue is delicate and strange, but this time the task is heavy, and I didn't think much about it.

"Boy, listen up, I'm Wang Yue, the brave martial arts captain under the general, I'm here to get this pot pass, do you want to die or live!" Wang Yue's voice was cold and abnormal, as if it came out of the snow on an iceberg.

"How do you want to die, what do you want to live?" The leader is still extremely smart, and when he sees that the other party does not kill him immediately, he knows that the other party must ask for him, but when he thinks that the general's men have infiltrated the city, he is afraid that this city will not be able to be saved.
