Chapter 69: The Capture of Yiwu
"I expected that there would be no good feast tonight."
Wu Xi saw Guo Yan's sudden move, his eyes suddenly turned fierce, he drew his sword to block Guo Yan's sword, and sneered: "Fortunately, I came prepared, tonight is either you die or I die." ”
After speaking, he also stabbed Guo Yan with a sword.
The fifty elite soldiers who followed him directly counterattacked.
Resist with Wu Xi.
Guo Yan said coldly: "Really? Look who dies here first today. ”
In addition to the two hundred sword and axe hands, Guo Yan's Xiliang soldiers gathered to kill Wu Xi at this time.
However, the soldiers mobilized by Wu Xi happened to be killed, and the two sides fought directly in a melee, and the fight was inextricable.
The sound of the fight crossed the walls of the city and spread outside.
Chen Zhou didn't rest tonight, he waited a little nervously, and he was also nervous that his plan would not succeed, after all, there were many loopholes, as long as Guo Yan or Wu Xi calmed down and kept an eye on it, it was impossible to succeed, and they would be directly recognized.
It turned out that they were not calm, the plan was successful, and the two sides in the dock fought.
The relationship between Guo Yan and Wu Xi is similar to that between Li Dao and Huang Fuyi.
However, this cooperation model has fatal shortcomings.
Once the latter is turned against each other, or if there is a contradiction between the two, civil strife will occur and cooperation will break down completely.
For example, now.
"Overseer, the plan is done."
Huang Fuyi's eyes showed admiration.
This court angel who holds the festival overseer can simply shoot a few arrows into the dock to disrupt the interior of the dock.
When Guo Yan met such an opponent, it was his bad luck.
"The Overseers are amazing!"
Huang Fuyi said with admiration.
Duan Xuan asked, "Overseer, what's next?" ”
Chen Zhou said: "Next, of course, it is to attack Yiwu, don't hurry up!" ”
"Yes!"
Duan Xuan and Huang Fuyi said in unison.
Now the guards inside the Wuwu are all involved in the civil strife, and there is no one to defend at all.
Soon, the soldiers of the five schools of Sanhe climbed over the city wall through the ladder, went inside smoothly, and then opened the city gate, and the army directly entered the Wuwu.
"Pass the order, the soldiers of the five colonels of the three rivers and the Longxiang army in the dock fort will not kill those who surrender."
Chen Zhou said again.
The order was quickly passed down.
At this time, the civil war was becoming more and more fierce within Yiwu.
By the time they came to their senses and the dock had been forcibly opened, it was too late.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!"
Guo Yan shouted.
Wu Xi turned his head to look at Cao Jun who had come in, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "It's really a trick, General Guo, let's stop the battle and resist the enemy first!" ”
"Stop all and block the enemy."
Guo Yan hurriedly shouted.
The same is true for Wu Xi.
They have only now found out about the scheme, and it is too late.
Duan Xuan and Huang Fuyi led troops to forcibly kill in, and while killing back, they made the soldiers of the Five Colonels of Sanhe and the Longxiang Army surrender.
As long as you surrender, you won't kill.
The interior of the dock soon became a mess.
The soldiers of that part of the Han Dynasty already wanted to surrender, but Goodbye Yiwu was breached, Guo Yan and others were beaten at a loss, and soon some people couldn't help but surrender, and then more and more people surrendered.
"Don't surrender, give me all back."
Wu Xi shouted eagerly.
But the soldiers who surrendered, he couldn't control it at all.
It's all late.
"All go west, and open the gates."
Guo Yan gritted his teeth, and no longer cared about what was missing from the three.
I don't want it anymore, I will escape first and then talk about the rest.
I ran very badly.
Duan Xuan and Huang Fuyi sent troops to chase for a while, but now that it was night, it was not suitable to chase too deeply, so they quickly retreated.
As some of the soldiers surrendered, and some of the soldiers ran away with Guo Yan and Wu Xi, Yiwu was taken down in this way.
Chen Zhou led his troops into Yiwu, and first let people control some of the soldiers who surrendered, those who belonged to the five schools of Sanhe were merged into Huangfuyi's subordinates, and Longxiang's army was merged into Duan Xuan's subordinates.
The entire Hewu was quickly controlled in his hands.
The grain left by Dong Zhuo was also confiscated by Chen Zhou.
Except for the failure of the first assault, the rest could not have gone any further.
"Overseer, Guo Yan and the others, how to deal with it?"
Huang Fuyi asked.
Chen Zhou looked at the west gate of the city, the darkness, and said: "The whole army is resting, and we will chase it tomorrow, Guo Yan will run to the west, at most to Liangzhou, they can't escape." ”
If this also allows Guo Yan to run away, it can only be said that his life is hard.
——
Cao Zhen was ordered to go west, rushed to Wuwei in Liangzhou, met with Ma Teng and Han Sui, revealed his identity, and after getting the approval of the two of them, he arranged to send troops, left Wuwei, and went to Guanzhong.
At this time, he has come to Tianshui.
Several days have passed since the destruction of Yiwu and the escape of Guo Yan.
"General Cao, as long as we assist in pacifying Guanzhong, can we really get that edict of the Son of Heaven?"
Ma Teng asked at this time.
Cao Zhen nodded and said, "Of course!" Before our overseers set out, we asked the Son of Heaven for a blank edict, which was prepared for the two of you, have you thought about who will be the pastor of Liangzhou? ”
Ma Teng and Han Sui glanced at each other at this time.
They all want to get that recognition from the Son of Heaven.
As long as the official name is obtained, it can be convenient to carry out all military operations in Liangzhou, including recruiting troops and horses.
Ma Teng is also a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan.
I still really want to get the edict recognized by the Han Dynasty to ensure my orthodox status in Liangzhou.
"Brother."
Han Sui said: "For the position of state pastor, I think you are more suitable, so I won't fight with you." ”
This is not the first time he has been humble.
But he was humble, Ma Teng couldn't accept it, and the necessary politeness could not be less, so he had to be humble and go back, waved his hand and said: "I know that my ability is insufficient, far inferior to the virtuous brother, this edict is yours." ”
Seeing that the two of them were still pretending, Cao Zhen expressed disdain in his heart.
Actually, they all want it, but it's not good to be too direct about wanting it.
Once someone takes the initiative to ask for it, it is possible to tear their faces, and the only way to do this is to push each other and discuss it privately, which is sophistication and hypocrisy.
"What Mr. said makes sense, they will finally compromise and choose one person to come out and take over the edict of the state pastor, otherwise Liangzhou will have civil strife, and they will fight."
Cao Zhen muttered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The relationship between the two is very deep! Pushing each other is admirable. ”
Han Sui laughed and said, "Let General Cao see you laugh." ”
Cao Zhen said again: "Otherwise, if you are still entangled like this, let the Overseer make up his mind when the time comes." ”
"Don't bother the Overseers, we'll think about it again."
Ma Teng shook his head and refused.
If Chen Zhou is allowed to take the idea, the meaning will be different.
It must be the one they compromise within, the one they choose.
"Father, uncle, General Cao."
At this time, a tall, majestic-looking man with a spear in his hand rode back on his horse and said excitedly: "The scout has found out the news that Guo Yan escaped from Yiwu and fled to Linwei in Guangwei County in front of us, which is not far from us. ”
This person is Ma Chao.
Xiliang Jinma Chao.
Cao Zhen said: "The Overseer's plan has succeeded again, let's do it quickly." ”
