Yunyang, after all, is broken.

In terms of meritorious deeds, Xu Lang attacked Yunyang, captured the two brothers of Meng Ye alive, and killed hundreds of enemies, which was the first achievement. When Li Wenzhong and He Huairen attacked the city, they charged forward and killed a lot of enemies, and the credit was secondary. Others, such as Wang Liang, Du Cong, Ma Rubao, etc., have made small contributions.

For a while, everyone was happy.

The next day, the account was raised, but I received good news again. It turned out that General Jin Ba was really steady and steady, after going out of Tongguan, step by step, so far, Shaanzhou has been defeated, and vigorously proclaimed the purpose of the king of England to think of the common people, recruit troops on the spot, now there are 60,000 people, morale is even more high, just waiting for the next step to advance Zhongzhou, according to Luoyang, so as to meet Gui Yunzheng!

"In addition, King Ying, General Lin plans to send troops to capture the Lu clan in order to form a line with General Jin."

The scout reported another piece of news, which naturally meant that Gui Yunzheng wanted to consider it.

"The general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it, and tells General Lin that the small county of the Lu family is already a lonely city, and if he doesn't take it this day, he will be blamed for it. With him quickly dividing 10,000 troops, defeating the Lu clan, the next step, take the West Gorge, go hand in hand with our department, and arrive near Nanyang as soon as possible. ”

Gui Yunzheng also quickly made a decision. Now that Yunyang is in place, Shangnan is also in hand, and the two armies are like two long dragons, echoing each other, attacking together, approaching Nanyang and Xiangyang, but it is only a matter of ten days.

"In addition, tell General Lin not to take the enemy lightly, and do not go deep alone!"

After thinking about it, he was still afraid that Lin Zhijing would push too fast, and the two armies would not respond in time, and when the time came, it would be very bad to fight separately.

"No!"

The scout took the order and departed.

The next step, according to the predetermined plan, is to divide the land and water routes and go to Gucheng together. After the bridgehead of Yunyang is removed, Gucheng will be the next important pass to Xiangyang.

As soon as noon passed, after arranging for Yunyang to stay behind, the three armies set off. By waterway, Gui Yunzheng sat in the formation by himself, led Wang Liang, He Huairen, Li Wenzhong and others down the Han River, and by land, it was still Xu Lang who took the lead, and Ma Rubao as his partner, singing all the way.

And the two brothers Meng Ye, after being captured, because of their special status, did not cooperate, and in the end, they were ordered by Gui Yunzheng to behead the matter.

The journey of more than 200 miles is smooth on both land and water. But when he arrived a few miles away from the Gucheng ferry, he heard a report from the scout in front of him, saying that Gucheng had been beaten happily.

It turned out that Gucheng was also the main battlefield of the battle between the Northern Army and the Xiangyang Army. Ning Hou made several transitions, and similarly, sent a large army to take Gucheng. However, the garrison of Gucheng was strengthened by King Ping in time. The small valley city, with both land and water armies, has reached tens of thousands. Therefore, the Northern Army fought for so many days, but did not advance half a step.

"Hehe, that's God help me!"

Gui Yunzheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself, the two armies had been fighting fiercely for many days, and they were already exhausted, and our army suddenly went down the river, advancing by land and water, and Gucheng was not yet captured. Besides, Liu Yushan should have already made contact with Gu Cheng's brothers, and under the cooperation here, the small Gu Cheng will be broken just around the corner.

"Order the three armies not to move, don't disturb the soldiers and civilians of Gucheng, and tell everyone that this king has a clever plan to break the city!"

He gave the order quickly, and handed another handwritten message to the scout.

"Quick delivery with General Xu!"

The scout hurriedly took it and quickly left.

Everything is quietly waiting. Everything seems to be in the plan.

At dusk, a group of generals gathered on Gui Yunzheng's ship and began to listen to him talk about the best way to break the city.

The river breeze is slow, the banner embroidered with the word "Ying" is hunting, and the soldiers of each ship are fully armed, with a resolute face.
