Chapter 400: Capture the Sword Pavilion

A few days later, the army of Hua'an arrived in Jinshou City, this city was developed from the pass, which used to be Jiameng Pass, and during the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei's battle against Ma Chao took place here.

Later, there was a folk song of 'Shu Hanxing, Longzhongmou, and Jia Meng', implying that the rule of the Han Dynasty lasted forever with heaven and earth, and lived with the sun and the moon, so Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu, changed this place to Hanshou City.

After the unification of Jin, 'Hanshou' was changed to 'Jinshou', so it became Jinshou City.

When Hua'an led the army to the city, the defenders in the city did not surrender, but put on a posture to defend the city.

Jin Shou City is in Hanzhong and Chengdu must pass through, if you can't get Jin Shou, the army under Hua'an can not reach Chengdu, fortunately, Hua'an surrendered the Han King Li Guang of Shu, and this is also the time for Li Guang to make contributions to the Great Jin.

Hua An looked at Li Guang and said softly: "King Han, now is the time for you to make meritorious contributions to the Great Jin, let the soldiers defending the city surrender immediately." ”

Li Guang led a group of generals, rode his horse to the city of Jinshou City, and shouted to the generals at the head of the city: "Open the city gate quickly and let this king enter the city." ”

The general guarding the pass was taken aback when he saw that it was the King of Han, but behind the King of Han Li Guang was obviously the banner of the Jin army, could this mean that the dignified King of Han surrendered to the Jin army.

"Open the gates, open the gates." The generals behind Li Guang also cheered.

Seeing that Li Guang, the king of Han, and the generals under his command had surrendered to the Jin army, the generals of the Shu army guarding Jin Shou City suddenly panicked, and they didn't know how to choose for a while.

Li Guang saw that the guards in the city were still hesitating, and then shouted: "Shuzhong is exhausted. This king has returned to the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, so don't be obsessed, open the city gate quickly, and welcome the king into the city. ”

The two generals in charge of guarding Jinshou City glanced at each other and frowned.

The adjutant general looked at the main general and said softly: "What should I do, even the King of Han and all the generals have surrendered, shall we surrender?" ”

The Lord General sighed and said, "Since the first emperor left. Today's majesty does not cultivate virtue and politics. Indiscriminately exerted prostitution, the people of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs and Yi and Liang Erzhou have been centrifuged, and besides, the Jin army marched westward on three routes. Even if we can keep Jinshou. The Great Han Kingdom can't be brought back to life. ”

The adjutant general heard this. Hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then what are we still holding onto, it is better to surrender in Kaecheng!" ”

"That's all there is to it. Open the gates and surrender. The Lord said helplessly.

"Open the gates, open the gates." The adjutant gave a loud shout and gave the order to open the city gates.

When the soldiers defending the city heard the order, they hurriedly opened the city gate slowly.

The generals and deputy generals of the Shu army, who were in charge of defending the city, led a thousand men and horses of Jinshou City to go out of the city and surrender to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

As for the defense of Jinshou City, Hua'an let a thousand soldiers under the command of Tie Niu stay stationed, you know, the strategic location of Jinshou is so important, even if the Shu army really surrenders, Hua'an does not dare to risk letting a thousand Shu troops continue to stay here, so as to prevent the surrendered Shu army from suddenly changing its mind and cutting off its own back road.

To be able to take Jinshou without bloodshed, in addition to the strength of the army under Hua'an, the most important reason is the persuasion of Li Guang, the king of Han, otherwise, if it really starts, in such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Jinshou City, Hua'an is really not sure that he can capture the city in a short time, and the casualties will not be small.

Li Guang can be said to have made a great contribution, Hua'an naturally praised Li Guang vigorously, and said that he would definitely report Li Guang's credit to the Great Jin Imperial Court, so that the Great Jin Imperial Court would give him better treatment.

The army continued to march south, and arrived at the most dangerous Jiange County one day later, which is even more of a terrain that cannot be opened, Hua'an according to the report of the scouts, felt that with the danger of Jiange Pass, as long as there are 100 soldiers stationed in the pass, their tens of thousands of troops will not be able to break through in a short time, and even lose their troops.

However, with Li Guang as the trump card, Huaan is not worried about this situation.

"General Hua, yo! Where are they? Li Guang walked into Hua'an's Chinese army tent and saw that Hua'an was discussing the military situation with his generals, so he casually said hello.

As a surrendered general, the reason why Li Guang was able to enter and exit Hua'an's Chinese army tent at will was naturally because of Hua'an's special kindness, which was also to reflect the Northern Expeditionary Army's preferential treatment of surrendered men and horses, so that the surrendered Shu army soldiers could be loyal to the Great Jin with peace of mind.

"Yo, King Han is here, come inside." Hua'an was as polite to Li Guang as ever.

Li Guang was also familiar with Hua An, so he was naturally not polite, walked into the big tent, and said softly: "General Hua, the guard who guards the Sword Pavilion Pass is a foolish and loyal person, I'm afraid that he won't surrender to the Great Jin!" ”

"What, that's it." Hua An was shocked when he heard this, looked at Li Guang, and said softly: "Isn't there even a way for the King of Han to make him surrender?" ”

Li Guang shook his head and said, "I just don't have absolute certainty, that's why I came to tell General Hua." ”

"Big brother, the Sword Pavilion Pass is just a small place, if the defenders refuse to surrender, our army can attack it, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, my tens of thousands of troops will not be able to break through a small Sword Pavilion Pass." Iron Bull roared.

"Yes! Big brother, if the defenders do not surrender, our army will attack. Thunderstorm echoed loudly.

Hua An shook his head, looked at Li Guang, and said, "I don't know if King Han has a clever plan?" ”

Li Guang smiled lewdly and said softly: "Don't worry, general, I have already thought about it, as long as I give me two hundred soldiers, I can earn the city gate." ”

"Oh, would you like to hear about it?" Huaan then asked.

So, Li Guang told Hua'an about his detailed plan, it turned out that he was worried that he would not be able to convince the elm pimple in Jiange Pass, so he came up with another countermeasure, that is, with two hundred Shu troops, falsely claimed to return to Chengdu, went to Jiange Pass in a big way, let the generals guarding the pass open the door and let them go, and then took the opportunity to occupy Jiange Pass.

Hua'an listened to Li Guang's countermeasures and was very satisfied, however, Hua'an did not fully trust Li Guang, so, just in case, Hua'an took out two hundred soldiers from his own personal barracks, let them wear the clothes and armor of the soldiers of the Shu army, and led by his deputy general Wang San, followed Li Guang and other generals to the Sword Pavilion to call the door.

Li Guang obviously felt Hua'an's suspicion, but this was also human nature, so he didn't mind, but happily went to carry out the order.

Li Guang returned to the tent, gathered several generals, and two hundred soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Wang San, rode their horses towards the Sword Pavilion checkpoint.

A moment later, Hua An asked Thunderstorm to lead a thousand cavalry and set off for the Sword Pavilion Pass to provide the necessary support to Wang San.

Because the checkpoint is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has the effect of being a man and a man, so the defenders of the Sword Pavilion Pass have always been very few, and there are only more than two hundred defenders at this time, but it is more than enough to defend the Sword Pavilion Pass.

Li Guang and his entourage soon arrived at the Sword Pavilion Pass, and shouted at the defenders at the checkpoint.

"King Han is here, don't open the city gate quickly." A subordinate general beside Li Guang shouted loudly.

"This king was ordered to return to Beijing and open the city gate quickly." Li Guang also shouted himself.

The general of the Shu army, who was in charge of defending the Sword Pavilion Pass, saw that the person under the city was Li Guang, the king of Han, and ordered without hesitation: "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly." Said that the whole person walked down the city, ready to greet Li Guang.

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately opened the gate of the Sword Pavilion.

Seeing that the city gate of the Sword Pavilion Pass had been opened, Li Guangmeng rode his horse into the belly of the horse, and the group of people and horses behind him also followed into the Sword Pavilion Pass.

"The last general will see the King of Han." Seeing Li Guangce coming, the general who was in charge of guarding the Sword Pavilion hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted Li Guang.

Li Guang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, this king is not a prince now." ”

The guard general was shocked, raised his eyes to the soldiers behind Li Guang, and suddenly said in shock: "Jiangnan people, how are you Jiangnan people, King Han, you ......"

"Take it." Wang Sanyan was quick and immediately ordered two soldiers to control the guard.

"King Han, what's going on, the last general is loyal to the Great Han Kingdom!" The guards struggled desperately.

Li Guangwei frowned and said softly: "So what, the strength of the Great Han Dynasty has been exhausted, this king obeys the mandate of heaven and has already returned to the Great Jin Kingdom, so you should also submit to it!" ”

"No, King Han, you are the descendant of the first emperor, how can you surrender to another country, the last will receive the great favor of the first emperor, and you will not surrender to the Jin dog." The guards look very dignified.

"Obsessed." Li Guangsheng reprimanded, looked in the direction of the city, and said loudly: "Soldiers, this king has returned to the Great Jin, what are you waiting for, lay down your weapons and return to the Great Jin!" ”

"Don't surrender, fire arrows, shoot arrows at me." The guard shouted loudly and hoarsely.

"You're such an elm pimple." Li Guang reprimanded loudly again, and casually tore off a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the guard's mouth.

The guard still wanted to struggle, but the whole person was completely controlled, and he couldn't shout.

Most of the soldiers guarding the pass did not have the idea of being loyal to the country, and when they saw that the Han kings had surrendered, they naturally did not intend to resist, so they put down their weapons one after another and surrendered to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Soon, a thousand cavalry under the command of Lei Storm also arrived at the Sword Pavilion Pass, and the entire Sword Pavilion Pass was completely under the control of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After taking the Sword Pavilion Pass, Wang San immediately sent his soldiers back to the camp to inform Hua An, and after Hua An got the good news, he immediately led the army of his subordinates and slowly marched towards the Sword Pavilion Pass.

After an hour's march, Hua An and his more than 10,000 men and horses arrived at the Sword Pavilion Pass and immediately entered the checkpoint.

"General Hua, the Sword Pavilion Pass has also been taken by me." As soon as Li Guang saw Hua'an, he told his credits.

Hua An smiled and said, "Our army has successively won the two levels of Jinshou and Sword Pavilion, all of which are the credit of the King of Han, and I will report it to the court truthfully." ”

Li Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and pointed to the bound Sword Pavilion guard not far behind him, and said softly: "General Hua, the Sword Pavilion guard will refuse to surrender alive or dead, so he will be handed over to the general for disposal." (To be continued......)
