Chapter 279: Unification of the Central Plains
It is said that many years ago, in order to resist Yuan Shao, Cao Cao built a barrier in Guandu, which was very strong. Even if Yuan Shao dug the mountain and was condescending, he didn't capture it.
Now that it has been changed to a high-distance attack on Guandu, there will definitely be many casualties if there is such a barrier.
His current power is growing rapidly. If it were someone else, it would definitely be held up a lot, and it would take a lot of time to pacify the place. But there is one place that Gao Yuan can't compare with others, that is, great popularity. As soon as he had a dozen local tyrants and a piece of land, he would appease the place in an instant. No one can start a riot, even if a few Dashi people start a riot, there is no need to send troops from high distance, and the militia in various places will give a chatter.
Therefore, although Gao Yuan's power extends quickly, the rear is extremely consolidated. This is also the key to his ability to constantly use his troops without giving the enemy any breath. In terms of these aspects, only our army in later generations can surpass him.
Therefore, if it is said that Gao Yuan has the power to unify the world, there is no one who does not believe it.
However, it is necessary to be able to dominate the world as soon as possible and avoid unnecessary casualties.
Since Guandu was established by Cao Cao, Gao Yuan asked Guo Jia and these people if there was a good way to attack it.
Gao Yuan finally asked, "Is there any authenticity, secret passage or something?" ”
Guo Jia, Xiahoudun and others all shook their cheeks, indicating that there was no such thing.
Guo Jia was very embarrassed and said: "My lord, when Cao Gong built Guandu, it was the highest specification, without any defects, and the key parts were arranged with the stone truck invented by Mr. Liu Ye." ”
"You mean, it's going to be attacked?" High and far-reaching.
Guo Jia nodded reluctantly, and immediately said: "Lord, although there are more than 100,000 puppet troops in Guandu, their morale is low, and they want to be fully prepared." It can be broken in one go. ”
This is also true Gao Yuan also nodded just as he was about to arrange tomorrow's attack task.
A guard came to report, "Lord Qiqi, there is a person from outside the gate, saying that he is the messenger of the three companies of the puppet dynasty." ”
I don't know how high it is. "Are you here to make peace?" So he asked the guards to bring messengers.
When the messenger walked in, he pounced and said humbly: "The prime minister is above, and the prime minister is below...... Below is the messenger of Lord Situ Jiang Gan. The envoy secretly wiped his sweat, and said in his heart that this Lord Situ is really good, a puppet of the Third Duke takes it so seriously, and he wants me to focus on saying that it is the messenger of the Third Prince.
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "What did Jiang Gan send you for?" ”
The messenger hurriedly said, "So, so, so. Lord Situ said that he was dedicated to the prime minister's side, why did he defect to the puppet court? is to contribute to the prime minister at a critical moment. Lord Situ endured humiliation and burden, and he would definitely open the city gate for the prime minister ....... ”
Then the messenger was temporarily taken down.
Gao Yuan and the ministers looked at each other, never expecting that Jiang Gan was enduring humiliation and waiting for an opportunity.
Guo Jia hurriedly walked out. said: "Lord, Jiang Gan's subordinates know very well. seems to be loyal, but in fact he is very ambitious, and he is a treacherous person, I am afraid, this is a trick to lure the enemy. ”
"An ambitious and treacherous man indeed." Gao Yuan first affirmed Guo Jia's opinion, but then he said, "But. Only such a person will surrender. ”
All the military advisors felt that Gao Yuan spoke more deeply than Guo Jia.
Therefore, Gao Yuan made a decision, "This matter is sooner rather than later." Let Jiang Gan's envoy go back, and say that in an hour later, that is, on the day of the third watch, our army will secretly go to Guandu. Tell Jiang Gan that there is no code, and the city gate will be opened on time for the third watch. ”
The messenger immediately returned.
Soon, it was the third watch.
Guandu Barrier.
Jiang Gan, who got the news from Gao Yuan, felt that his opportunity to sublimate again had come. Now that he has also been the third duke, he will leave a name in history, and with the merit of "enduring humiliation and burden" to defeat the puppet court, he will definitely leave a great reputation in history in the future.
Jiang Gan was excited, so he took more than a dozen people to the north gate of Guandu. When the officer guarding the gate saw it, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Situ, what is the matter with you?" ”
Jiang Gan waved his hand and said, "I have a military order with me, and I want to take advantage of the night to go out to check on the enemy's Dazhai, and I can also make a plan with a target." ”
This was so good that the officer who guarded the gate immediately ordered the gates of the city to be opened.
As soon as the gates opened, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard outside, the officers' faces changed greatly, and the defenders panicked. But before they could speak, Jiang Gan exclaimed with joy; "Don't panic, this is our army coming, don't mess up, listen to my command, all stand aside!"
The officers and soldiers were dumbfounded, but Jiang Gan was Situ, and since he said so, the soldiers habitually obeyed orders.
After a while, there was a rumbling sound, and a large group of cavalry rushed in from the city gate. The first general, with one eye and a large blade in his hand, was shining, so he was not scary, and rushed towards Jiang Gan.
Jiang Gan was originally in a state of greeting, but when he saw that the people were coming, he didn't stop, and the chrysanthemum tightened, and while running to the side, he shouted: "Don't kill me, I'm Jiang Gan, General Xiahoudun!" ”
Except for Jiang Gan, everyone at the city gate was chopped into mashed meat.
For a time, countless iron horsemen rushed into the Guandu barrier, killing people when they saw them, and lighting fire to the military tents when they saw them.
A large number of the Great Zhou Dynasty puppet army hysteria ran out.
"Surrender the gun and don't kill, I'm Situ Jiang Gan, I'm Jiang Gan Situ, my Situ, listen to me, all surrender, throw away your weapons!" In order to make meritorious contributions, Jiang Gan also tried his best, so he rode a horse and walked around shouting.
Gao Yuanjun also shouted together, surrender the gun and not kill, and the prime minister gave preferential treatment to the prisoners.
When the puppet army looked at it, it was broken, what else to fight. So, without exception, they threw their weapons and pounced.
It is said that Guo Tu and Xin Ping heard the shouts of the former army and knew that an enemy had broken in. They hurried to the royal tent and said that they were in the middle of the dispatch.
However, when Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others met in a panic here in the puppet emperor Jiao Touch, and were talking about organizing people to resist. Inside and outside the imperial tent, all the soldiers threw their weapons and ran away.
They were immediately dumbfounded, so they stopped talking about resistance, and they all took the road away.
When everyone scrambled for me, and when they opened the curtain together, countless spear tips suddenly appeared outside, and they were stunned.
At this time, Gao Yuan arrived, saw Guo Tu and others, and Jiao Touch, who was wearing a dragon robe, and said with a smile; "Want to run?"
When Guo Tu saw Jiang Gan who was arrogant beside Gao Yuan, he immediately understood everything, pointed and scolded: "Traitor, traitor!" ”
Jiang Gan smiled, generously and righteously, and reprimanded: "Rebel child, dare to say me, if I don't endure humiliation, wouldn't it be up to you to wait for the success of the rebellion!" ”
As soon as he threw away the dragon robe, he pounced at that time, and shouted: "Prime Minister, the villain didn't want to be this emperor, but he was forced by Guo Tu and them!" ”
At this point, Guo Tu and the others couldn't afford to resist at all, and they were all afraid of death and begged for mercy.
However, anyone can forgive, but they can't forgive the mastermind, and Song Xian and Wei Xu want to kill him, so that he can give Mrs. Tai an explanation. Therefore, Gao Yuan waved his hand, "All beheaded, Song Xian Weixu's head, sent to my father-in-law's grave for sacrifice!" ”
The fate of Guo Tu and the others was decided, and they immediately collapsed to the ground, with feces and urine flowing together.
In this way, Gao Yuan broke through Guandu, and the tiger prison went down without a fight. From Gao Yuan to unify the Central Plains, there is only one Xuchang City left. (To be continued......)
