Chapter 68: The Discord Meter
Guo Yan wooed Wu Xi, and then through Wu Xi, stabilized the morale of the army.
Those soldiers of the Five Colonels of the Three Rivers and the Longxiang Garrison Army finally calmed down a lot.
No longer gathering in groups to discuss whether to surrender or not, the cohesion in the army has temporarily returned, and everyone is on the walls of the dock fort, ready to deal with the attack of the Cao army outside.
Wu Xi was also preparing to deal with Cao's attack.
But the time was very fast, another day passed, and the Cao army did not see any movement, and no longer came to attack, which made Wu Xi puzzled, the siege of the three missing one had already been done, and the army's heart was also shaken, and the Cao army had not yet attacked Yiwu, so what did they want to do?
On this morning, Wu Xi was inspecting the city tower again to prevent Cao Jun from having other tricks, but looking at Cao Jun who was only stationed and did not make any movement, he couldn't help but think too much.
"They can't be trying to run out of food, are they?"
Thinking of this, Wu Xi shook his head and smiled.
The food that Dong Zhuo hoarded here could not be consumed by the Cao army outside.
Even if Cao Jun's is exhausted, the one in the dock will not be exhausted.
But at this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot at Wu Xi.
The archery was originally a soldier from the shooting battalion in the fifth school of the Northern Army, with a strong head, and went straight to Wu Xi.
Wu Xi hurriedly dodged sideways, and several soldiers around him, carrying shields, came over to protect Wu Xi.
"Duan Xuan?"
Wu Xi looked down and saw that Duan Xuan had finished shooting the arrow, and did not stop, but turned around and left, returning to the barracks.
"General, there are strips of cloth on the arrows."
A soldier picks up the arrow that came in.
Wu Xi opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was written that Duan Xuan had made an appointment with him, and at half of the night tomorrow night, he would kill Guo Yan and open the gate of Hewu to surrender.
"When did I make an appointment with Duan Xuan?" Wu Xi looked at it inexplicably.
But as you can imagine, there must be some trickery on the people outside.
Tomorrow night, in the middle of the night?
"All on guard!"
Wu Xi said vigilantly.
But what trickery can be done by shooting a letter in?
He couldn't think of it for the time being, but he advised: "Strengthen the patrol of the neighborhood, and let me know as soon as you find any more letters coming in." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers beside him said in unison.
But then, there were no more letters coming in.
They couldn't understand at all what Cao Jun's intentions were outside.
Duan Xuan returned to the barracks and said, "Overseer, shoot in." ”
Chen Zhou said: "It's not enough to shoot in, you have to find someone in Guo Yan's army who is about the same size as Wu Xi, if you can't find it, then find an officer under Guo Yan and shoot the second letter into it." ”
As he spoke, he handed over a strip of cloth.
Duan Xuan guessed what Chen Zhou's plan was, and after taking it solemnly, he went down to make arrangements.
There were also soldiers who had been staring outside the walls of the city, watching the officers on patrol, until in the afternoon, when they finally saw a suitable person appear.
"General, do you see that this person is about the same as Wu Xi in terms of stature?"
The soldier in charge of staring went back to find Duan Xuan, and said: "His military position is the same as Wu Xi, and there is no difference in the style of armor he wears. ”
Duan Xuan carefully recognized it for a moment, and there were indeed five or six points of similarity.
There are still differences.
But they don't care so much, it's rare to have someone who looks similar to Wu Xi from a distance.
"Shoot it."
Duan Xuan shouted.
Sou......
An arrow is fired.
"General, be careful."
At this moment, a soldier suddenly knocked the officer away from the castle tower.
They dodged the arrows at the same time.
The officer was startled, and immediately looked down, only to see Duan Xuan waving towards him, but quickly left, not giving them a chance to fight back.
"That's a simmer!"
The officer knew Duan Xuan and said angrily: "Is he provoking me?" ”
Thinking of this possibility, this person snorted coldly, full of unhappiness.
"General, look!"
The soldier who knocked into the officer picked up the arrow that Duan Xuan shot, only to see that there were strips of cloth on it.
The officer opened the strip of cloth and looked at it, and was shocked.
What is written above is that in the middle of tomorrow night, Wu Xi will open the gate of Yiwu City and surrender, and let Duan Xuan lead his troops in.
"Wu Xi is still betrayed!"
The officer was shocked and went back directly to find Guo Yan.
"What!"
Guo Yan looked at the strip of cloth, stood up suddenly, and then asked, "Why did Duan Xuan shoot this strip of cloth to you?" ”
The officer shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know either. ”
"Wait!"
Guo Yan looked at the officer and shouted, "You step back, retreat to a hundred steps away." ”
The officer was inexplicable, but he could only retreat.
When it's a hundred paces away.
Guo Yan looked at this person's back, clapped his hands vigorously and said: "From a distance, your figure looks like Wu Xi five or six points, I understand, Duan Xuan must have recognized the wrong person, Wu Xi still betrayed me!" ”
With that, he was furious.
In that case, don't blame him for making the first move.
That's Wu Xixian's unkindness, then he can only choose injustice.
Guo Yan shouted: "You pass my order, gather some soldiers, prepare for an ambush, and then let someone invite Wu Xi and let him come to the banquet tonight." ”
He wants to prepare a Hongmen banquet for Wu Xi.
——
Night.
Wu Xi received Guo Yan's banquet and felt very inexplicable.
Now is the most important time to defend the Dock.
The food in the army should be kept as much as possible, instead of eating and drinking at the banquet, Guo Yan's behavior is a bit abnormal.
When he walked out of the tent, Wu Xi felt that the atmosphere in the Yiwu was a little depressing.
It seems like something important is about to happen.
"No, it's wrong!"
Wu Xi muttered to himself, and then asked the soldiers around him: "After the afternoon, did anything special happen in the Wuwu?" ”
The pro-soldier thought for a moment and said, "The general gathered some of the guarding Xiliang soldiers, and he didn't know what to do. ”
"Troop transfers?"
Wu Xi stopped, thought for a long time and said, "It's not good, he still doesn't trust me, damn it!" We also transferred troops, transferred all the five schools of Sanhe and the Longxiang army, prepared for a counterattack, and then asked people to select fifty elite soldiers to go with me to see Guo Yan. ”
Tonight, something special should happen.
Wu Xi can't do anything.
After everything was ready, Wu Xi walked towards Guo Yan's camp.
"General Wu, why did you come to the banquet and bring your own soldiers?"
Guo Yan saw that Wu Xi was still vigilant and wary of himself, and immediately frowned.
I even felt that Wu Xi had a problem and must have betrayed.
"The Cao army outside is still eyeing the tiger, and the general suddenly set up a banquet, which makes me a little uneasy, so bring my own soldiers, in case the Cao army attacks again, we can also respond quickly."
Wu Xi explained.
Guo Yan laughed and said: "It's still General Wu who is cautious, so let's come in first." ”
Nor did he take the fifty in his sights.
He ambushed two hundred axemen nearby, and when he entered the tent, he suddenly threw a glass of wine with great force.
"Kill!"
With his angry shout, two hundred sword and axe men suddenly came out and slaughtered Wu Xi without warning.
Guo Yan also pulled out his sword and stabbed Wu Xi with a sword.
