The inside of Wuguan is also spacious, the north and south are tall and heavy, the barracks are at the north gate, and there are caves under the cliffs to store grain and grass.

A two-story building in the center is the council office, the first floor is for the office, the second floor is for the guards to live, and there is a covered bridge leading to the north and south gates of the city tower.

Wei Yan looked around and ordered: "Change the guard immediately, gather everyone in the barracks, and there is still a prime minister who will convey the order." ”

Xiahou Cun flattered and said: "You brothers have just come to Guanzhong, so let them guard the pass, it is too hard, it is better to ......"

"Needless to say!" Wei Yan looked indifferent, patted his coat pocket and said coldly: "The Prime Minister's secret order is here, who can afford it?" ”

Wuguan is connected to Chang'an Station, and I don't know if there are scouts in the dark, and the news may leak at any time, so these defenders must be surrendered as soon as possible.

Xiahou Cun did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the deputy general to go and give an order, all the defenders of Guanshang were withdrawn, and everyone gathered at the school field.

Wei Yan divided 500 people to guard the gate, Hu Ji led his troops to take over the arsenal, and came to the military camp with Xiahou Cun, only to see that the 5,000 defenders were all lined up.

"There is no need to perform today, so why do you need to bring weapons?" Wei Yan waved his hand and said, "Put back your weapons and sit on the ground." ”

Xiahou Cun said loudly: "This is Yang Wei, the general of Fenwu, the prime minister personally assigned to guard the pass, and now there is an order from the prime minister, put back the weapon and sit down on the spot, and listen carefully to me." ”

Cao Jun put his weapons on both sides of the school field, and when he was in a hurry, suddenly the defenders came to report that a batch of grain and grass had been transported from Chang'an, and it had arrived outside the customs.

Xiahou Cunxi said: "This must be because Zhong Taishou learned that the general was coming, and he would transport the grain and grass as soon as possible, and the last general would go to receive the grain." ”

Wei Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed, and he finally nodded: "It's okay, just ask the general to go out to answer, and I hope to introduce him later." ”

"It's nature!" Xiahou Cun nodded again and again, and quickly rushed to the north gate with a few cronies.

Hu Ji asked in a low voice: "Xiahou Cun is out of the customs, and the news will definitely leak, why not kill him?" ”

Wei Yan sighed: "This person was deceived by me, it's really pitiful, I can't bear to kill him, see that he doesn't have much ability, spare his life!" ”

Originally, he planned to kill Xiahou Cun when he entered the city, and took advantage of the chaos to seize Wuguan, but he didn't expect things to go more smoothly than he imagined.

Not only was Xiahou Cun very cooperative, but even the defenders were bloodless to control it, which made Wei Yan embarrassed to do it.

Hu Ji frowned and said, "Then what to do with these defenders?" ”

Wei Yanyan said: "Persuade the defenders to surrender, I am willing to join the army in the army, and those who do not return to the peasants will be sent to Nanyang for resettlement, and those who dare to resist will be killed!" ”

Hu Ji nodded slightly, waited for Wei Yan to go out, and transferred the two thousand Red Flame Army guarding outside the camp in, fully armed, and aimed his bow and arrows at Cao Jun who was sitting on the ground.

Cao Jun was in an uproar all of a sudden, seeing Xiahou Cun and Wei Yan leaving one after another, the new generals suddenly faced each other and stood up one after another.

"Don't move!" Hu Ji shouted: "Everyone, we are Jingzhou soldiers and horses, Xiahou Cun has been beheaded, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

Buzz –

There was an instant commotion in the camp, and Cao Bing's expressions changed drastically, and they all got up, but there were no weapons in their hands, and they were clustered together, panicking.

Hu Ji said loudly: "Cao Cao is disobedient and cruel, General Liu Qi is the benevolent lord, you must have heard of the battle of Nanyang, those who surrender do not kill, sit down!" ”

"Those who descend will not be killed!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound was like thunder.

The knives and guns around the school field were pointed at directly, the cold light was shining, the arrows were on the string, and the murderous spirit was soaring, and Cao Jun had no choice at all.

Hu Ji saw that most of the people were still standing in a daze, drew his sword and shouted! "I'll count three times, and there will be those who stand, and there will be no mercy!"

"One...... 2. ......"

Outside the north gate of Wuguan, Xiahou Cun greeted the grain cart with his entourage, and was saluting with the generals transporting grain, when he suddenly heard the shouting in the gate, and turned back suddenly, but saw that the gate had already been quietly closed.

Xiahou Cun was shocked, hurriedly ran to the pass, and asked, "General Yang, what happened?" ”

Wei Yan laughed and said: "What a shrewd Xiahou Cun, he really has no eyes, and a certain Wei Yan of Jingzhou is also, he came to take the customs on the order of General Liu." ”

"You, are you Wei Yan?" Xiahou Cun was so shocked that he took a few steps back, pointed at Guan Shang and couldn't speak for a long time, and asked with a crying voice: "How can you have a Qingyu Sword?" ”

"You don't have to ask!" Wei Yan pressed his hand on the head of the city and said loudly: "Thinking that you have meritorious service, a certain party can't bear to kill you, let you live, or go back to the Central Plains to retire, the battlefield is not suitable for you." ”

"Wei Yan dog thief, you dare to lie to me?" Xiahou Cun's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Do you dare to go out and fight to the death?" ”

Wei Yan sneered: "Xiahou Cun, a certain family's patience is limited, while I still have a trace of pity, leave quickly, if you make any more noise, kill out of the city, and leave no armor!" ”

"You, you ......" Xiahou Cun took a few steps back, realizing that he had no soldiers in his hands, where could he fight, turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Wei Yan, you wait, I will come back." ”

"Next time, don't blame Wei for being ruthless!" Wei Yan looked up to the sky and laughed at the gate, and ordered the drum to be beaten.

The earth-shattering drums resounded through the valley, and when Cao Jun, who was transporting grain, learned the news, he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he abandoned the car and fled with Xiahou Cun.

At this time, the defenders of Guannei had not yet been completely subdued, and Wei Yan did not dare to rush out of the city, and when he saw Cao Jun fleeing, he turned back to the barracks.

Hu Ji had already controlled the scene and killed more than a dozen people who tried to stir up resistance, while the rest sat obediently on the ground, waiting for the attack.

Hu Ji said worriedly: "There are more than 6,000 defenders and miscellaneous soldiers, and they are forced to surrender, and I don't know how sincere they are. We only have 3,000 troops, and when the Cao army hears the news, they will definitely come to seize the pass, and if the garrison is insufficient, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to cause chaos. ”

Wei Yanyan said: "I hope that the soldiers will come with me, and the rest will be sent out of the customs tomorrow." We collected prisoners in Nanyang and settled the surrendered army, and the Cao army must know about it, so let them return to Nanyang and stay for their own convenience. ”

Hu Ji ordered more than 3,000 people on the left to follow Wei Yan out of the camp, at this time it was already dark, torches were lit at the city gates, and the soldiers were arranged in three teams.

Wei Yan said loudly: "A batch of grain and grass has been transported from Chang'an, and the soldiers have been killed by me. ”

Cao Jun looked left and right, some with happy faces, others with puzzled expressions, and their eyes brushed towards the slowly opening door.

When the gate opened, Cao Jun went out of the city in turn, and Wei Yan came to the pass unhurriedly, quietly looking at the figure that disappeared into the night.

Although this move will let many people go, those who come back will definitely surrender sincerely, and no matter how many people are left, they can use it with confidence.

Half an hour later, the sound of cars in front of the city was loud, and a team of vehicles came to the city.

Three lieutenants came to return to their lives, and the grain and grass had been escorted back, and many people fled to Chang'an at night, but they could not stop them.

Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that there were two thousand people who came back, it seems that Cao Cao was really unpopular, especially in the battle of Nanyang, using human flesh as food and grass, which completely chilled the hearts of the soldiers.

This batch of grain and grass looks like a lot, presumably sent by Chang'an in advance to prepare for the defenders to spend the winter, which happens to be cheaper for themselves.

Wei Yan personally went down to the city, received the grain and grass into the city, and after everything was settled, he ordered the whole army to celebrate, and the city of Wuguan was cheered, and the banquet was closed until late at night.
