Early the next morning.

Chen Zhou left 2,000 men to guard Chang'an, led the remaining troops, and rushed straight to Guo Yan's Yiwu.

To deal with Guo Yan in Yiwu, Chen Zhou used a similar method to deal with Li Wei, and asked Duan Xuan to go and pretend to surrender, wanting to take refuge in Guo Yan, as long as he can lead troops into Yiwu, then Guo Yan's head will be brought in.

But Guo Yan was more shrewd, found that something was wrong, and saw through Duan Xuan's intentions.

In desperation, Chen Zhou and the others had no choice but to show up and concentrate their forces to attack Yiwu.

Yiwu is almost Dong Zhuo's tortoise shell, when it was first built, Dong Zhuo built this place as solid as gold, and a lot of food was hoarded in it.

Guo Yan still had more than 20,000 troops around him, and when he saw Chen Zhou menacing, he immediately closed the gate of Hewu and directly entered the state of defense.

However, seeing that Chen Zhou did not have many troops, Guo Yan suddenly did not panic, relying on Dong Zhuo's storage of grain in the dock and the solidity of the dock, he could completely block Chen Zhou's attack, and was ready to wait for work, dragging Chen Zhou outside to consume, and when the consumption was about the same, he would go out of the dock to counterattack.

Chen Zhou attacked once, but when he saw that the effect was not good, he asked people to retreat.

"It's not easy to storm Yiwu!"

Huang Fuyi used to follow Dong Zhuo, and he knew very well how the defense inside the Wuwu was.

Duan Xuan also knew the strength of Hewu, and frowned and said, "We people alone really can't beat Hewu, do you have any ideas?" ”

They knew that Chen Zhou had a lot of ideas, and there should be a way to deal with Yiwu.

Chen Zhou is trying to figure out a way.

He struggled to recall how Guo Yan died.

It seems that he was killed by a subordinate, a subordinate named Wu Xi.

He can't remember the specific information of this Wu Xi, but he should also be from Liangzhou, which can be used as a breakthrough to attack Yiwu.

"Which of you knows Wu Xi?"

Chen Zhou asked them.

Duan Xuan was from Liangzhou, and when he heard this, he first said: "I am a fellow villager with Wu Xi, and he was once a member of the Long Xiang Army, how can the Overseer know Wu Xi?" ”

He was amazed as he spoke!

Wu Xi is not famous, now he is just a subordinate of Guo Yan, Chen Zhou is from Yanzhou, and he can also know Wu Xi?

Chen Zhou said: "General Duan, don't care how I know Wu Xi, can you contact him?" ”

Duan Xuan was not sure: "I'll give it a try!" ”

Wu Xi is in Yiwu, Guo Yan blocked Yiwu, and it is super difficult to contact Wu Xi.

It's not even possible to get in touch.

Chen Zhou didn't wait for Duan Xuan to make arrangements, and interrupted: "General Duan should have difficulty crossing the city wall of Yiwu, and the method of contact needs to be changed. Let's write more letters and shoot them into the Wuwu, and the content on them will be written to persuade Wu Xi to surrender. As long as Wu Xiken carries Guo Yan's head and opens the door of Hewu, the Son of Heaven can pardon all his crimes, reinstate the official, and continue to return to the Longxiang Army. By the way, Guo Yan's subordinates, how many Long Xiang Army and the old department of the Five Schools of Sanhe are there? ”

"The old department of the Longxiang Army, there are about one or two thousand people, who left with Wu Xi back then."

Duan Xuan said.

Huangfu Yi said: "I'm not very sure about the old department of the Five Schools of Sanhe, but there must be more than 20,000 people in Guobian, and I guess there are seven or eight thousand soldiers from the Five Schools of Sanhe." ”

In this way, the operability is much greater.

If all of them are Xiliang people, they may still be desperate for Guo Yan.

If not all Xiliang people are willing to work hard, it is not certain.

"In addition to persuading Wu Xi to surrender, he also persuaded all the soldiers who were once big men."

Chen Zhou continued: "Tell them that as long as they open the dock and surrender, all the charges will be pardoned, and they can go back to their hometowns and see their relatives, and then write that this is the comfort of the Son of Heaven for them." ”

Chinese people have a relatively strong hometown complex.

Especially the ancients.

The former Han soldiers followed Dong Zhuo to leave Luoyang and leave Henan Yin, and many years have passed now.

I believe that among them, there are many people who are right and wrong, and they must have been homesick for many years, and they want to know how their families and relatives are doing under the chaos.

Even wondering if a loved one is still alive.

To a certain extent, it can move people's hearts.

The breakthrough to deal with Yiwu came like this.

"Good!"

Duan Xuan and Huang Fuyi said in unison.

They immediately asked people to prepare cloth and silk, wrote enough letters of persuasion to surrender, and then shot into the city of Yiwu according to Chen Zhou's arrangement.

The range of the arrow is enough to pass over the tall walls of the city and fall into the city.

"What is this?"

Soon a soldier picked up the arrow that came in, and saw that there was still a strip of cloth tied to it, someone opened it and looked at it, frowned, and said: "It is full of words, which of you knows the words?" What is written? ”

The soldier who picked it up showed the cloth to the people around him.

But those who can come to be ordinary soldiers are basically from poor backgrounds, and no one can read and write.

Several soldiers shook their heads at the same time, unable to understand what was being said at all.

"What?"

At this time, an officer came over and shouted angrily: "If you don't defend well, what are you doing here?" ”

"General, we picked up the people outside, the arrows that came in, and there were strips of cloth with words written on them."

When a soldier saw the officer coming, he shouted.

The officer took it and looked at it, only to see that it was written words to persuade Wu Xi to open the city gate and surrender.

It just so happened that he was Wu Xi's subordinate, so he immediately brought this strip of cloth back to Wu Xi.

But the number of strips of cloth that are also shooting in is increasing.

There were more soldiers who picked up strips of cloth, some people picked up those who made Wu Xi surrender, and some people picked up those who made the soldiers of the Five Colonels of Sanhe and Longxiang surrender.

Ordinary soldiers, not all of them know how to read.

It happened that one or two soldiers had read the book, and it happened that they were soldiers of the fifth school of Sanhe, and when they saw the content of the strip of cloth, they were very touched in their hearts, and quickly spread the content of the strip of cloth.

Even the soldiers of the Longxiang Army, most of them are from Liangzhou, and when they get those contents, they also feel homesick.

Yiwu is surrounded, and their pressure still has a certain amount.

Other emotions were aroused again, and the mind was shaken.

Some soldiers thought that Guo Yan was a thief, and it didn't seem to be any good to follow him, and there were more and more people who wanted to surrender.

As a result, all kinds of rumors spread within Yiwu.

Outside the city.

Chen Zhou looked at Yiwu.

What the situation inside the Wuwu is not clear for the time being, but it can be judged that those strips of cloth full of words should have a certain impact, and some soldiers should have a feeling of homesickness.

"Next, change the strategy."

"Circumference three is missing one."

"Let them go to the west, and walk towards Ma Teng and Han Sui."

Chen Zhou said again.

If Wu Xi can kill Guo Yan, it is best, if he can't kill Guo Yan, Wei San can drive Guo Yan to the trap in the west.

I don't know what Cao Zhen's situation is in the west, but it shouldn't be a big problem to persuade Ma Teng and Han Sui to officially send troops.

When Duan Xuan and Huangfu Yi heard this, they withdrew the encirclement of the west, and the encirclement was missing one, waiting for Guo Yan to escape from Yiwu and throw himself into the net.
