Chapter 364: The First Battle is Dingbazhong

Yan Yan, the main general of Langzhong, was captured. Those Shu troops suddenly lost their backbone, and after some indiscriminate resistance, they surrendered one after another, otherwise they would be hacked to death by the Xiliang army after a moment's delay. When Zhou Taisheng captured Yan Yan and surrendered the remnants, Yan Xing had already divided his troops into Langzhong City, and on the one hand, he set out to settle the people, and on the other hand, he sent troops to guard the city.

Langzhong Taishou Mansion, Zhou Tai played with Yan Yan's Taishou seal ribbon, while looking at Yan Yan who was tied up by five flowers from time to time, and suddenly, Zhou Tai gently put the seal ribbon on the table, and scolded angrily: "What an old thief, what else do you have to say if you are captured this time, I persuade you to surrender early, otherwise cut off your head and hang it at the city gate to warn the three armies, so that those who resist us know that the Xiliang Army is not easy to mess with!" ”

How do you know that Yan Yan snorted coldly disdainfully, turned his head, didn't even look at Zhou Tai, and scolded: "The thief offended my state and county for no reason, and he said it so righteously, he really doesn't know shame, and wants me to surrender?" I tell you, but there are decapitated generals, no surrendered generals! ”

Zhou Tai was furious, two angry gases rushed straight to the top door from the soles of his feet, and the ignorant karma in his heart couldn't hold back, grabbed a bamboo slip from the table, pointed at Yan Yan and scolded: "Left and right, pull down with me and cut off, his grandmother's, do you think we really don't dare to kill you?" Take your thief's head and sacrifice the flag today! ”

Yan Yan also scolded back: "Thief, if you want to cut it, why do you scold me, you started scolding five days ago, and you still scolded after being captured, are you Xiliang Army all shrewd scoundrels like you?" Yan Yan gritted his teeth, and two waves of anger rushed up from between his ribs.

Zhou Tai saw that Yan Yan's voice was majestic, his face did not change, his heart turned from anger to joy, he thought for a moment, got up and rebuked left and right loudly. Suddenly. When the guards in the hall retreated cleanly, Zhou Tai walked up to Yan Yan and looked him up and down. The face is not angry and mighty, the gray hair adds to the heroism, and the martial arts are also quite good, which is difficult for ordinary generals to resist.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he took out a delicate short knife from his waist, personally cut the rope tied to Yan Yan's body, took off his robe and put it on Yan Yan, supported him on the high seat in the middle, bowed his head and bowed: "Shi Cai's words are a little offensive." I hope that the old general will not be blamed, when he was in Hanzhong, he often heard that the old general was a hero, why not join my lord's account to make contributions together? ”

Zhou Tai saw Yan Yan's lips squirm for a moment, and continued to take fierce medicine: "The ancients said: Good birds choose wood, good ministers choose masters, if Liu Zhang is the master, you can let the general go back, but Liu Zhang is not only the master." And the general is a hero among people, why is he obsessed! ”

Zhou Tai poured Yan Yan a glass of warm wine. Immediately handed it to Yan Yan respectfully: "My lord is the Marquis of Wenhou of the Han Dynasty, and he is also a second-grade hussar general, the governor of Hanzhong, the four counties of Xiliang, and the soldiers and horses from all over Yongzhou, he is really a male lord, if the general is like-minded, he must be recommended!" ”

Yan Yan's eyes drooped. After a while, he raised his head and drank the warm wine, and said loudly: "The general of the defeated army, thanks to the great grace, the old man is willing to surrender!" ”

Zhou Tai has a steel beard. Haha laughed: "The general is really a hero among the people, but my lord is now in the northern Xinjiang, and he can't give the general a reward, so how about asking the general to deign to be a deputy general under my account now?" After meeting with the lord, he will naturally recommend the general, and at that time, it will be no problem to pay homage to the marquis! ”

Yan Yan felt his kindness, got up and said: "Thanks to the general's kindness, there is nothing to repay, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, no need to stretch a bow or arrow, and take Bazhong!" ”

As soon as Yan Yan's words fell, he saw Yan Xingjian walking into the hall, and saw that Yan Yan had been loosened, and he was still sitting on the main seat, Zhou Tai on the side was quite respectful, and he suddenly understood in his heart, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The old general is polite!" ”

Yan Yan hurriedly got up, gave up the main position in the center, and returned the salute: "General Yan is polite!" ”

Zhou Tai said: "Yanming, you came just in time, the old general said that you can help us capture Brazil City without spending a single soldier!" ”

Yan Xing asked, "I don't know what the old general does?" ”

Yan Yan said: "From now on to Brazil, all the passes where there is a large army stationed, are under the management of the old man, most of the officers and soldiers are from my account, today I feel the kindness of the two generals, I can't repay it, if the two generals can trust Yan Yan, you can be the old man as a vanguard, everywhere you go, all call out to surrender, so that not only does not cost an arrow, but also avoids the disaster of the sergeants and swords on both sides, I don't know what the two generals want?" ”

In addition to Langzhong, there are still nine counties in Bachuan, Anhan, Dianjiang, Tangqu, Xuanhan, Hanchang, Nanchong and Xichong, although they have won Langzhong, there are still other counties that need to be attacked, if Yan Yan can say that other counties will come to surrender, then their time will be saved by half, now Gan Ning and Zhang Ren are in full swing in the Sword Pavilion, if he and Wei Yan's army is not yet, it is estimated that they will not encircle Chengdu in the scheduled time.

Zhou Tai and Yan Xing glanced at each other, and after understanding each other's eyes, Zhou Tai said to Yan Yan: "There is nothing that cannot be believed, so there will be General Lao, and after pacifying Brazil County, it will be your first credit!" ”

So the three of them discussed in the hall again, and it was agreed that Yan Yan did not stop, after he selected five hundred elites in the camp, he marched towards Anhan non-stop, and Zhou Tai and Yan Xing led the army behind the palace.

Hanchang, located in the eastern border of Brazil County, as early as two days before Zhou Tai captured Langzhong, Wei Yan had already led a large army to capture Bachuan, and the army only repaired in Bachuan for one day, and then slaughtered Hanchang. After the high wall of Hanchang City, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wei Yan fought for several days in a row and it was difficult to overcome, just when he had nothing to do about Hanchang City, he saw Chen Qi enter the big tent, and said to Wei Yan: "General, Hanchang City has hung a white flag!" ”

Wei Yan was looking at the book of war at this time, trying to find a way to capture Hanchang in the book of war, when he heard Chen Qi's report, he raised his head and said: "Two days ago, I swore to hold the city, why did I put up a white flag today?" ”

Chen Qi shook his head: "I don't know the last general, but Hanchang City has indeed been full of white flags, why don't you go and see it yourself?" ”

Wei Yan put down the military book, waved his battle robe, and walked out of the Chinese army's tent with Chen Qi.

Half an hour later, the two galloped to the front of the formation, Wei Yan looked around, and sure enough, the city was full of white flags, and he frowned at the moment, and asked the general who came to wait: "When was the white flag hung in this city?" ”

The general did not dare to slack off, and replied: "The white flag has been hung up at noon, and the last general will not dare to be lazy, so when the white flag is hung up, he has already sent someone to report to the general!" ”

Wei Yan nodded, but before he could ask again, the voice of the enemy defender came from the head of the city: "Dare to ask General Wei Yan below!" ”

Wei Yan was not afraid, he galloped to the city with a hook and sickle, raised his head and shouted: "Yes, it is the general, let me ask you, what do you mean by erecting a white flag at the head of the city?" ”

The general arched his hand towards Wei Yan at the head of the city, and said: "A few days ago, the general and I were each their masters, so I collided with the general, and I hope the general will not blame, yesterday I received a handwritten letter from Taishou Yanyan, telling me to open the city and surrender whenever I meet the Xiliang army, and now I follow the order of the Taishou army, and prepare to sacrifice the city and the general, I don't know if the general dares to enter the city!" ”

This general is called Tang Ju, is Yan Yan's account of the general, deeply respected by Yan Yan, and finally Yan Yan was promoted to the Hanchang guard, has been stationed here for several years, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Hanchang mountain bandits raised the flag correspondingly, gathered tens of thousands of people to attack Brazil County, in addition to Yan Yan and Tang Ju garrisoned the city, other counties were breached, so Tang Ju can also be regarded as a fierce general of Brazil County.

Wei Yan said: "This matter is very important, and I still need to think about it!" ”

This matter is a bit unbelievable, he and Tang Ju have been fighting for a few days, both sides have killed and injured, and there is already a common hatred, this guy surrendered today for no reason, does he want to earn him into the city, and then surround and fight? Even if Tang Ju really surrendered, wouldn't he be afraid that Wei Yan would cut him with a thousand knives? Tang Ju's words made Wei Yan a little difficult.

After hearing this, Tang Ju sneered sarcastically: "It's really better to be famous than to meet, it's better to meet than to be famous, it is said that Wei Yan is brave and strategic, and he is a brave man, and he can peep into the leopard after seeing it today, it can be seen that the city has been opened, and it is your business whether you can enter or not, I have to tell you, this city gate is only open for half a day, if you don't enter after half a day, then I will close the city gate and stick to Hanchang!" ”

After Tang Ju finished speaking, he turned his head to the deputy general and ordered: "Open the city gate!" ”

The adjutant general gave up his hand, and then waved his big hand, and the soldiers on both sides of the waiting came forward together, loosened the iron chain, put down the drawbridge, and the soldiers under the city also opened the heavy city gate at the same time, opening a wide avenue for Wei Yan and the Xiliang army.

Wei Yan glanced at Tang Ju with bell-like eyes, and when he mentioned the horsetail, he galloped into Hanchang, and after getting up, Chen Qi saw this, hurriedly waved his hand, and led the Xiliang army besieging the city to rush into Hanchang City together.

After Wei Yan entered Hanchang, he saw that the urn city was already full of soldiers of the Shu army, and there were no less than 5,000 people in sight, they saw Wei Yan rushing into the city, his body did not move, but stared at Wei Yan with his eyes, if it weren't for Wei Yan being a brave and good fighter, this look alone was enough to scare the courage of ordinary people, and he could train such an elite foot soldier, thinking that Tang Ju was not an ordinary person. This reminded him of Tang Ju, who sent an envoy to the King of Qin, who was also an amazing figure.

At this moment, I saw Tang Ju on the head of the city slowly walking down the city, he looked at Wei Yan, arched his hand and said, "General Wei Yan is polite!" ”

Wei Yan turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to help Tang Ju up: "General Tang Gaoyi, Wei Yan admires!" He didn't expect this Tang Ju to really fall, and asked at the moment: "What happened?" I hope General Tang will solve his doubts! ”

Tang Ju promised, and then told Wei Yan about Langzhong. (To be continued.) )
