Chapter 421: Breaking the Fan City Guo Tong Meritorious Service

Guo Tong was ordered to lead 300 dead soldiers wearing Cao Jun's clothes and armor, sneaking into the city through the secret passage, and ordered everyone to be in groups of ten, setting fire to them on the one hand, and shouting that the Han army had entered the city. But he lurked on both sides of the city gate with twenty or thirty men, waiting for the opportunity to seize the city gate. The two countries are at war, and the Wei army in the city is naturally very tightly defended, but they all focus on the Shu army outside the city, where do you want to catch fire in the city? I don't know the truth, I really thought that the Shu army entered the city from other city gates, at this time Cao Xiu was seriously injured, Jia Kui was not in command of the city, seeing that the fire in the city was getting bigger and bigger, the Wei army on the city wall were rumored that many people began to sneak down to the city and sneak into the houses in order to break the city and survive.

Guo Tong saw it clearly below, led his subordinates out of the shadows, and shouted: "Guo Tong is here." "Rushed straight to the city gate, and cut down a few people on the ground. The twenty or thirty fierce tigers behind him also suddenly became powerful and slashed and killed the Wei army in four directions. The defenders at the gate of the city were originally panicked, but when they heard the name of Guo Tong at this moment, they first had a little fear, and they didn't know how many Shu troops there were in the city, so they resisted for a while and scattered away. Guo Tong successfully captured the city gate, secretly said "luck", and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate and light it as a signal. Guo Huai led the army outside, saw the fire in the city, was anxious, worried about the safety of his son, watched the city gate open, and then led the army into the city gate, but when he saw that his son was unharmed, he said very happily: "My son has made this great achievement, but he can quickly capture Cao Xiu with his father and dedicate it to the general." The father and son then marched into the city and wanted to capture Cao Xiu alive.

Let's say that Wen Xiu and Jia Kui had a dispute, and they heard someone shouting in the city that the Han army had entered the city. Wen Xiu was in shock, but Jia Kui had already spoken first: "Good Wen Xiu, General Ben really didn't wronged you." You are here to entangle this general, but you have another person to lead the Han army into the city. Your father sacrificed his life for the country, but you did such a rebellious thing, are you worthy of General Wen under Jiuquan? Come, and take down this traitor with General Ben. ”

Wen Xiu never expected that it had come to such a critical moment, Jia Kui was still biting himself, and he said it vigorously, and he really felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, he was about to attack, but he thought that the war was serious, and he couldn't help but swallow his anger and said: "General Jia, there is really no rebellious heart, so the Han army has entered the city, and the general is asked to quickly protect the governor of the city from the city, and he still brings people to resist." "Jia Kui didn't deliberately want to wronged Wen Xiu at the moment, but Wen Xiu entered the city with his front foot, and the Han army arrived with his back foot; Wen Xiu just came to pester himself with theories, but the Han army took the opportunity to enter the city again. If it is all explained by coincidence, it will inevitably be unconvincing. Jia Kui looked at Wen Xiu coldly and said, "You don't need to bother with your tongue, today this general will first get rid of the internal traitor, and then defend against the foreign enemy." "Wave your hand and ask your subordinates to come forward and arrest you.

"Wait." Wen Xiu stopped everyone and said, "Since General Jia refuses to believe it, I have no choice but to make it myself and take General An's heart." He put the sword across his neck, took a few steps forward, and said, "I also hope that the general can protect the governor of the capital from the city and guard the city of Wancheng to secure the society." While everyone was staring at the sword in their hands, Wen Xiu suddenly exerted his strength and quickly ran towards Jia Kui. The two were not very far apart, although Jia Kui was also guarded by personal soldiers in front of him, he never thought that Wen Xiu would suddenly attack, and without being careful, several people were overthrown by Wen Xiu to the ground. Wenxiu's martial arts are far above everyone, and when he succeeded, he immediately restrained Jia Kui and shouted: "There is no treason, but you are repeatedly pressed?" His voice was fierce, and he looked very angry and excited.

Since Jia Kui fell into the hands of Wen Xiu, he was not very hurried, but closed his eyes and said: "I don't know whether you are really treasonous, it's just that this general is involved in the lives of the soldiers in the city, and he doesn't dare to be careless." Now that it is in your hands, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it. Wen Xiu snorted heavily, withdrew his sword, and said, "If I kill you, won't I really be treasonous?" Now that the war is critical, he asked the general to protect the governor, and someone brought his own people to resist. Yan Yan said loudly: "The warriors of Great Wei are all going with General Ben to kill the enemy." With that, he strode out of the camp. All the generals present couldn't help but be impressed by his bearing, and many people immediately responded and followed.

Seeing that many of his subordinates followed Wen Xiu, Jia Kui's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of guilt, and said secretly: Is he really wrong? Since Wen Xiu had already gone away, Jia Kui couldn't think about it anymore, so he took people to Cao Xiu's tent. Cao Xiu was seriously injured, and when he heard the Han army attacking the city, he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood in a row, and was about to order someone to help him get up and look, when he saw Jia Kui leading people to come, he couldn't help but shout: "How did the Han army enter the city?" Jia Kui was forced to ask by Cao Xiu, but he didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "The last general doesn't know." ”

Cao Xiu was seriously injured and had to hand over the defense of the city to Jia Kui to deal with, but he didn't expect that overnight, it would be broken by the Han army, but the other party didn't know how the enemy army broke the city? How could Cao Xiu not be angry, pointing at Jia Kui but not knowing where to start, he was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out. Jia Kui hurriedly stepped forward to help and said, "The Han army is strong, please take care of your body." Cao Xiu stretched out his hand to push it away, and said: "The governor of Bendu is ashamed of the imperial court, and today the city is broken, and there is only death." Come, take the weapons and armor of the Pontus Governor. Before his subordinates could agree, he saw a sergeant entering, and said: "Governor of Dadu, the Han army is attacking the city gate, and Guo Huai and his son are leading the army to come." Wen Xiu is leading people to resist desperately, and asks the Metropolitan Governor to evacuate as soon as possible. ”

"Withdraw!" Cao Xiu smacked the sergeant fiercely and said, "What kind of face does the governor of Pontus have to retreat?" Tell the generals to live and die with the city. Seeing that Cao Xiu was so impulsive, Jia Kui knelt down and hugged his legs, and persuaded bitterly: "Please think twice." Although Fancheng is broken, Wancheng still relies on the capital to guard it. If the governor talks lightly about life and death, who will Wancheng entrust? If Wancheng is not guaranteed, Luoyang will be in danger, and the community will be in danger. The governor shoulders the weight of the community, and he also asks to retire to Wancheng, wait for General Cao Zidan to return to the rescue, and then fight Zhao Shu to the death. ”

What Jia Kui said is not false at all, Fancheng has been broken by Zhao Shu, if Wancheng falls to the enemy again, then Cao Wei's capital city Luoyang will be directly exposed to the Han army, even if Cao Xiu is dead, how can he rest assured? Nai sighed and said, "What the general said is extremely true, it is not a pity for me to die, but Wancheng must not be lost." And return to Wancheng first, and then discuss. ”

Jia Kui saw that Cao Xiu agreed, so he led people to protect him and retreated to the north gate. At that time, although the Shu army had entered from the south gate, the other three gates were still in the hands of the Wei army. After escaping for dozens of miles overnight, he didn't see the Shu army chasing after him, so he slowed down his march and walked slowly. Cao Xiu suffered two defeats in a row, fled twice in a row, looked at the defeated army beside him, couldn't help but feel quite touched, and said to Jia Kui beside him: "I hate to listen to the general's words, and I mistook Liao Hua's treacherous plan, so I have today's defeat." Jia Kui also sighed: "The last general also has a time when he made a mistake, General Wen is loyal to the martyrs, and the last general is suspicious of his intentions. If General Wen was guarding the city, how could the Han army break the city so easily? ”

When the two were blaming themselves, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them, as if a military horse was coming towards them. Cao Xiu and Jia Kui couldn't help but lose their color, if Zhao Shu lay down here again, I was afraid that both of them would become subordinates. Cao Xiugui was a relative of the Wei State, and he worshiped the Great Sima, so he naturally refused to be captured and humiliated, and immediately secretly held the sword in his hand, and would rather die than be captured by the Shu army.

"Dudu, it's the military horse of General Wancheng Xue." Jia Kui looked at the other party's banner clearly, and hurriedly cheered and told Cao Xiu, but after saying a word, his whole heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar, and he muttered: "Why did Xue Qiao come here?" Cao Xiu was very happy when he heard that the other party was Ben ** Ma, but when he heard Jia Kui's later sentence, he also felt uneasy, forced him to sit up, and ordered left and right: "Order General Xue to come to see me quickly." Before the herald left, he heard Xue Qiao in the opponent's formation shout first: "It's Cao Dadu who is here?" ”

Jia Kui saw that it was Xue Qiao who also replied loudly: "The Metropolitan Governor is here, why don't you come to see General Xue soon?" When Xue Qiao heard this, he rolled the saddle and dismounted, rushed to Cao Xiu's stretcher, bowed to the ground, and kept kowtowing: "The last general deserves death, and the last general deserves death." Cao Xiu saw that his clothes and armor were not in order, and he pleaded guilty like this, his heart was cold for three points, but he was unwilling, and still had the mentality of giving it a try, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that something happened to Wancheng?" Xue Qiao still didn't dare to raise his head, and replied on the ground: "Three days after the Governor of Dadu led the army away, the Han army came to the city, with twenty or thirty thousand people. The last general knew that Wancheng was important, so he held it tightly and did not fight, but ...... It's just,"

"Just what?" Cao Xiu almost used all his strength, roared out, pointed at Xue Qiao and said: "Even if the Han army is majority, Wancheng is strong, and there is enough food and grass, even if you have no ability to retreat from the enemy, you should stick to it and wait for help." ”

Seeing that Cao Xiu was angry, Xue Qiao buried his head lower, almost touching the ground, and continued: "That's exactly what the last general thought, but when our army searched for Sima and his son, it disturbed the people in the city, and the people in the city couldn't bear it. When the Han army besieged the city, it actually opened the door to greet each other, but the last general did not notice it for a while, and the city was seized by the Han army. The last general should have been martyred in the city, but he just wanted to report to the governor, so he lived secretly. ”

Cao Xiu heard that Wancheng had been lost, like a thunderbolt hitting his body, and he was speechless for a long time, so he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Xue Qiao, shouting: "Your army is defeated and lost, what other face do you have to see me?" "It's just that the body is weak, and the sword falls diagonally when it is halfway stabbed. Jia Kui is much calmer than Cao Xiu, now that Wancheng has fallen, he should no longer pursue Xue Qiao's responsibility, not to mention that Cao Xiu himself believed Liao Hua's words and went south with a large army, which caused the Wancheng garrison to be empty and captured. At the root of it, the fault lies with Cao Xiu, not Xue Qiao, there are not many generals around Cao Xiu at this moment, and if he kills Xue Qiao again to chill everyone's hearts and provoke a mutiny, it will be even worse. So Jia Kui stretched out his hand to take Cao Xiu's sword and said, "The governor is angry." Now that Zhao Shu and Guo Huai are chasing after them, and there are strong enemies blocking the road in front of them, it is the time to employ people, General Xue is guilty, and he also asks the governor to spare his life and make him guilty and make meritorious service. ”

Xue Qiao knew that the ghost door had been closed and turned around just now, and when he heard someone pleading on his behalf, he hurriedly kowtowed: "The last general is willing to fight to the death and make meritorious contributions, and please spare the last general's life." Cao Xiu tried his best to stab out a sword, but at this time he only felt dizzy, looked at Xue Qiao, and then raised his eyes to look at Jia Kui, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted on the stretcher again.
