In fact, before Guo Huai was escorted to Qishan Fort, Gao Gang surrendered......

This is not due to the lack of grain, grass and water sources, there is water on Qishan Fort Mountain, as an important defensive city on the Western Front, grain and grass are enough for him to eat for a year.

In addition, the terrain is dangerous, which is not conducive to attacking the city, and he can actually hold on for a long time if he is really determined to hold on.

The main thing is that the psychological pressure is too great, and this oppressive feeling of no hope in sight is increasing every day as the siege lasts.

These days, fights and brawls are happening almost every day in the fort, and some of them are just trivial things like you wearing my shoes and me taking your headscarf.

At the beginning, Gao Gang dared to press strongly, but recently, the soldiers under his command who were originally tame and obedient have now become weird.

Despair was written on everyone's face, and the negative emotions that could not be vented were increasing day by day, and in the middle of the night, a faint cry or hysterical shouting could always be heard......

They're going crazy.

Just a few days ago, Liu Bei personally led most of his troops to the north, and the reduction of the besieging soldiers and horses not only failed to improve the internal situation of Qishan Fort, but became more troublesome.

"General, let's kill it!" The lieutenant general stared at his bloodshot eyes with dark circles, and suddenly spoke.

"You're crazy!" Gao Gang was taken aback, "How many of us are there, kill them?" What's more, even if the siege is highlighted, the loss of Qishan Fort is a capital crime! ”

In the terrain of Qishan Fort, the enemy's siege equipment cannot be arranged, and shrinking is the best choice, and it is completely unnecessary to venture out of the city.

The lieutenant immediately looked like a deflated ball, but he still muttered: "...... That's better than sitting here and waiting to die. ”

Qishan Fort is a purely military fortress, and there are not many people in it, let alone any entertainment facilities and other places where you can decompress.

Not every soldier has an iron will, coupled with the siege of the army, Cao Pi attacked Wu, and the reinforcements could not even see a shadow, they were already on the verge of collapse.

"Or else...... Let's just drop it. The adjutant muttered in a lower voice, and then quickly lowered his head, waiting for Gao Gang to scold his head and face.

As a result, there was no sound for a long time, and he raised his eyes to glance, only to find that Gao Gang had his eyes closed, and his face was full of struggle.

This frightened the adjutant general, he just complained and vented, it was better to be scolded than to hold back, I didn't expect to see General Gao like this...... Do you really want to vote?

"Alas......" Gao Gang sighed, "open the city gate and surrender with me." ”

"General, don't!" The deputy general panicked and grabbed Gao Gang's arm, "My family is all in the Central Plains, and if I surrender now, my life will not be guaranteed!" It's just a momentary gibberish ......"

"Come out with me." Gao Gang said expressionlessly, shook off his hand and went to get his big seal, ready to surrender.

The adjutant sat on the ground, looking at Gao Gang's background in a daze.

He just complained casually, why did the general really surrender......

But how did he know that Gao Gang had the intention of surrendering in his heart for more than one day.

Liu Bei hadn't led the army to Shangtai yet, so he had this thought.

People who are not in Longyou can't experience the shock and deep despair brought by the wind falling from all over the place......

……

By the time Guo Huai was escorted to Qishan Fort, Zhang Yi had already taken his 3,000 men to the mountain and completely took over Qishan Fort.

The original defenders of Qishan Fort, including Gao Gang, were temporarily detained and waited for His Majesty and the Prime Minister to fall.

And the one who was responsible for leading the team to escort Guo Huai was Gao Xiang, a young general who participated in the Battle of Nanzhong.

Gao Xiang, who didn't find the Han army at the foot of the mountain, was shocked, and thought that Zhang Yi's men and horses had gone wrong, so he almost recklessly went back to report the news......

After all, in his opinion, the army did not dare to storm Qishan Fort here before, how could Zhang Yi's 3,000 people succeed?

"Congratulations to General Zhang for his great work." Gao Xiang, who was discovered by Zhang Yi on the mountain, and sent someone to stop him, entered the fort and congratulated Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi couldn't hide his joy, although the Northern Expedition to capture Qishan Fort was not a victory, but the credit would be properly recorded on his head.

His Zhang family, as well as the status of Yizhou scholars, will also benefit.

"Hahaha, where is General Gao, it's all thanks to Your Majesty, as well as the crown prince and prime minister, I just picked up a cheap ......" Zhang Yi said modestly with joy at the corners of his eyebrows.

"That's right." Gao Xiang nodded seriously.

Zhang Yi: "......"

Gao Xiang, a young general who was still as upright as usual, choked Zhang Yi speechless for a while, and his smile froze directly on his face.

And the two who met unexpectedly on the other side had an even more embarrassing atmosphere.

Gao Gang: "......"

Guo Huai: "......"

"Ahem." Feeling that it didn't seem appropriate to say nothing, Gao Gang cleared his throat, "Guo Yuanjun, you also descended ......"

Guo Huai, who had just been stabbed 10,000 times by Zhuge Liang's words and was still recovering, did not expect that he would be stabbed in the chest by his former colleague.

"What do you mean I'm down too?!" Guo Huai was angry at that time, "At that time, I was surrounded by regiments, and the soldiers had no desire to fight, so what is the use of not surrendering alone?!"

"It's you, Qishan Fort is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is plenty of food and grass water. If you hold on for a year and a half and harass the Shu army to transport grain, Your Majesty will definitely be able to return to the army to help, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

If Qishan Fort sticks to this nail on the grain road, it will indeed be a trouble.

Hanzhong was barely self-sufficient, and Longyou was barren, and if he wanted to feed the army against Cao Wei, he would still have to transport grain from Yizhou.

But when he said this, Gao Gang didn't like to hear it.

Yes, you were originally the assassin of Yongzhou, the official of the big clan, but now everyone is a prisoner, who is stronger than whom?

Are you still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?

Gao Gang pulled his face and said: "Your soldiers are fleshy, and my soldiers are all beaten with iron?" Do you think you can keep food and water for that long? Phew, what kind of cool words. ”

Guo Huai was furious: "Gao Gang, you are so bold!" ”

"Why, do you still think you're a thorn?" Gao Gang squinted his eyes and said, "I'm happy to call you Guo Yuanjun, if you're not happy, you're just a dog in a cage." ”

It's all in the hands of others, life and death are not certain, how can he bear Guo Huai's anger?

It's just that Guo Huai was just scolded by Zhuge Liang for being a dog with a broken spine, and Zhuge Liang doesn't care about it, everyone is a person with status.

What kind of thing are you? Dare to scold him Guo Huai for being a dog?

Guo Huai completely lost his mind, and although his hands were tied behind his back, he still stepped forward and kicked Gao Gang in the stomach.

"Hmm......" Gao Gang didn't expect such a big reaction from this product, and he was kicked so cold that his intestines flipped over, and he wanted to vomit.

He was immediately furious, and not to be outdone, he killed back.

The two of you fight with one leg and one with my foot, but they are much more courageous than in war......

……

The news of Gao Gang's surrender to Han soon spread to Shangqi, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were overjoyed when they heard the news.

After the discussion, Lao Liu made a decisive decision, and sat in Shangtai by himself, and Ma Chao garrisoned Ji County.

Ordered Zhuge Liang to lead Jiang Wei and other generals to immediately lead the army north to support the lonely prince Liu Chan!
