And on the other side.

Late at night, the moonlight is like silver, sprinkled on the land outside the city of Haoyang, which looks quiet and peaceful.

Zhang Bao led the crown prince to ride personally, and thousands of cavalry had just successfully escaped the encirclement and interception of the Wei army, and rushed to the outside of Haoyang City exhausted.

"Is there a tiger and leopard riding after you?"

Interspersed late at night, the Wei army actually had heavy troops in Shangcai.

Fortunately, they didn't bring any baggage, one man and two horses turned into the wind, and after a moment of contact with the Wei army, they quickly got rid of the Wei army's encirclement and were not wrapped in dumplings.

Of course

It is also impossible to say that there are no losses at all.

Zhang Bao was wearing iron armor, his eyes were resolute, and his face revealed exhaustion and tenacity.

His spear was held in his hand, and the blade was stained with the blood of the Wei army.

The prince's horsemen were equally tired, but there was not much fear in their eyes.

Tonight's situation, in their hearts, they have long been mentally prepared.

If you want to make meritorious contributions, if you want to enter the martial arts hall, if you want to seal your wife and son, and don't sell your life, how can it be possible?

"The tiger and leopard ride is not in Xincai, even if you receive the news, it will take a while to rush over."

Call~

Zhang Bao exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the worry on his face also disappeared a lot.

"The enemy doesn't know what we're aiming for, and they probably think we're going to attack the grain road again, as we did before."

The terrain of Runan has long been familiar to Zhang Bao.

A few months ago, he was in Runan County, which can be described as a whole county, and he can go wherever he wants.

Cut off grain and grass, ambush the Wei army, burn crops, and loot grain and grass.

In addition, with the locals of Runan as guides, where there are trails and where you can rest, in his heart, it is all clear.

"Rest in place and be vigilant."

Zhang Bao immediately sent more than 20 horsemen to scatter around, and once he found traces of the Wei army, he could learn the news as soon as possible.

The cavalry is not iron-clad, and the horses also need to rest.

It's true that one person and two horses are right, but the horse that doesn't carry the weight also has to run?

If it goes on for a long time, the horses can't stand it.

"Send someone into Haoyang City again, contact the internal response, tonight, if you can enter the city, it will naturally be the best."

Although there is an internal response in Haoyang City, it is still unknown whether it can enter Haoyang City.

If you can't get in, you have to go in immediately.

"No!"

Immediately, someone galloped towards the direction of Haoyang City.

In the city of Haoyang at this moment.

Inside the barracks.

By the dim light, in a hidden barracks, there were several middle-level officers in armor around a table, and the four of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was very dull.

After a long time.

Finally someone started talking.

"I have already received the news, the prince Zuo Wei rate, Zhang Fei's son, Zhang Bao, the brother-in-law of the prince of Hanzhong, is leading the Han army at this moment, not far from the city, now, it is time to make a decision."

Resolve?

There was another long silence, but finally someone began to speak.

"Wei Gou robbed me of grain and grass, enlisted me and others to send my life, and asked me to abandon my family and business, and come to this place in Haoyang, my wife and children, I don't know what's going on, I heard that some brothers, after leaving the station, my mother-in-law was robbed immediately."

Most of them are not state and county soldiers in Haoyang.

Rather, they come from all over Runan.

Because Wei was afraid that they would cause chaos, they arranged them in Haoyang City.

It is said to be an arrangement, but in fact, it is no different from surveillance.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the crown prince of Hanzhong is a relative of the Han family, at this time, the king came to the king, and has promised that no taxes will be levied within two years, if it is a meritorious service, there will be a reward, after this village, there will be no such shop."

Someone was said to be moved.

But there are still those who are still hesitating.

"If you hesitate any longer, in a few days, you will wait for your mother-in-law, and you won't be robbed? And the Han army is ready to go to war, do you want to be the arrows for the siege? ”

"What Brother Han said is extremely true, Runan is Runan of Runan, not from his Wei State, the prince of Hanzhong is a relative of the Han family, and his words are absolutely credible, fight! The head is not bigger than a bowl-sized scar! ”

"Fight! It can be regarded as giving my unsuccessful son some family background! ”

"Fight! It's just a death! ”

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, the atmosphere is much more lively than just now.

The mind is also unified.

"So what's next? Open the gates? ”

"There are five hundred Wei troops in the city, and there is a Wei official county order in the mansion, kill these five hundred Wei troops, kill the Wei dog county order, and welcome Wang Shi into the city!"

Just do it, under the leadership of the four leaders of them, the originally quiet military camp has become lively.

In the city of Haoyang, a late night tranquility shrouded the government.

Moonlight shines through the windows, casting clear light and shadow.

The lobby of the palace is spacious and solemn, surrounded by tall mahogany pillars supporting the grand roof.

The long banner on the wall swayed slightly, making a faint sound.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded, passing through the quiet of the night.

This is the Runan Prefecture soldiers, they heard that Zhang Bao led the Han army elite cavalry has arrived outside the city, and decided to take the opportunity to act.

They quietly entered the mansion, and disappeared step by step.

In the lobby, the candlelight was dim, illuminating the seat of a Wei official and county magistrate. The prefectural magistrate was reviewing the paperwork, attentive and unconscious. He was dressed in an official robe and a crowned hat, and his expression looked confident and arrogant.

"The county is not good, the military camp in the city is restless, the soldier camp is roaring, and it is coming towards the government, the county is leaving!"

Suddenly, the door to the main hall was opened.

From outside, a young man dressed in a robe rushed in, his face full of panic.

And as he finished saying this, a steady stream of armored soldiers poured in behind him.

They were armed with swords and spears, and wore battle armor, strong and mighty. Their faces flashed with determination, and they walked mercilessly towards the prefectural order.

"County Zun, someone Han is here."

The atmosphere in the main hall was instantly tense and solemn, and Wei Guanxian Ling was awakened and looked at these soldiers who suddenly broke in in a daze. His face turned from confidence to panic, and his gaze wandered in search of a helper to lean on.

But at the moment, where is there any help?

The environment of the government suddenly became tense, and the faces of the soldiers of Runan Prefecture looked gloomy and cold under the candlelight.

"Han Xuan, don't be impulsive, you rush into the palace this time, I can intercede for you, as long as you put down your weapons, today's events will not be blamed for the past."

There was already a look of panic on the face of the Haoyang County Commander.

"Hmph, are you not to blame for the past? If I believe you, I'm afraid I'll become a corpse. ”

As he spoke, he spat on the ground fiercely and said, "The beast who drinks the blood of the soldiers, if I don't kill you today, heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

"Come on, hack this fang to death!"

The leading Runan Prefecture soldier Lieutenant Qu gave an order, and the soldiers were ready to fight, stabbing with swords and guns.

Wei Guan's face turned pale, and he looked at these Runan Prefecture soldiers who suddenly broke in in disbelief, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.

He felt the shadow of death looming over him, and the despair in his heart came flooding over him.

He collected a lot of money and robbed a few good-looking women, but

Is this a drink of soldiers' blood?

I'm just doing things for King Wei.

You Qiu Ba, how dare you?

Haoyang County was stunned, but he couldn't stop the slashing knife soldiers, and it didn't take long for him to have no human form left, only a piece of flesh foam, mixed with a little broken bones.

"Follow me out of the city and welcome the king from outside the city into the city!"

With the breach of the palace, the five hundred Wei troops in the city were attacked and almost annihilated.

In Haoyang City, the situation is also developing rapidly.

Officials are terrified, knowing that the situation is irreversible. One

Some officials surrendered, hoping to save their lives.

However, the county soldiers of Runan Prefecture showed no mercy and brought to justice the officials who usually acted as powerful and well-behaved one by one.

Among them, there are naturally those who kill indiscriminately.

But for the big picture, it's also irrelevant.

The city gate was opened, and Zhang Bao, who had received the news in advance, and his crown prince rode into the city smoothly.

"General, please!"

Captain Qu of the state and county soldiers, Han Guan, welcomed Zhang Bao in.

"The government has been packed up for the general, and the general can enter and live at any time, and there are some colored beauties inside."

When Han Xuan spoke, his face was full of flattery.

If you can hug Zhang Bao's leg, then you are still worried about wealth and wealth?

"I won't go to live in the government, I, Zhang Bao, have always eaten and drunk with the soldiers, and shared weal and sorrow."

Now the situation in the city is not clear, and this rash move-in, I am afraid that there is a possibility that the head will fall to the ground.

"The general is so stylish, no wonder he can win several battles and admire him."

Zhang Bao waved his hand and said: "If you have meritorious service to the city, I will naturally report it truthfully, and the reward you should have will not be given to you at all, and now that Haoyang is in the enemy territory, you also need to prepare to defend the city in case the Wei army comes to attack." ”

Han Xuan nodded hurriedly.

"The general commanded, and we will naturally obey our orders. There are 10,000 soldiers in the city, in addition to defending the city, we can also take the initiative to attack and take down Shangcai, which can be regarded as a meritorious service. ”

Now that he has defected to the Han army, what Han Zhou is thinking about now is naturally a matter of meritorious service.

"Tomorrow, I will reorganize the army in the city, as for attacking Cai? Shangcai now has a lot of Wei troops, and it can't be easily attacked, but you can take a long-term view, Shangcai can't do it, and the rest of the cities, can't you? ”

The corners of Zhang Bao's mouth cracked, he laughed out loud, and said, "As long as you wait to follow me, you won't have to worry about having no credit to take!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Zhou and the others also put their hearts down.

And on the other side.

Xincai Chengzhong.

Sima Yi looked at the military newspaper in his hand, and his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.

"The prince of Hanzhong does not send troops, as soon as he sends troops, it is a thunderous blow, in just ten days, he will go down to Nanton, Haoyang two cities, the most important thing is that the people of Runan are in turmoil, at this moment in Xincai City, there are also disobedient people, and they need to be suppressed from time to time."

The situation that Liu Chan faced in Xinxi City before, now Sima Yi has also encountered it in Xincai.

Sima Yi's eyes flashed with worry, his eyes widened, and his gaze was locked on a certain focus, as if he was thinking about a key issue. The bags under his eyes were obvious, revealing traces of his overnight running and contemplation.

"Isn't this what I expected?"

The Wei army's strength in Runan was inferior to that of the Han army, so it was natural to take a defensive position as a whole, and in order to delay time, wait for the arrival of the Wei king's army, and lose a few cities, which was also a trivial matter.

Cao Xiu saw that Sima Yi was so anxious, but he was a little incomprehensible in his heart.

"You can lose land and save people, but the speed of this lost land is too fast, outside Shenyang City, there are also Han troops preparing to attack the city, Lu Chang has already come to ask for help, this big ship, driving on the river, is really leaking on all sides!"

Sima Yi sighed and shook his head slightly, somewhat helpless in his eyes.

"Then I should lead the tiger and leopard rider to help?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Now, we can only respond to all changes with the same, Nanton and Maoyang are the places where we give up, and now, we want to keep Shenyang and Xincai from losing, these two cities are here, and the prince of Hanzhong will never be able to exert his hands and feet, and we can continue to drag on." ”

"What if Shenyang is captured?"

Cao Xiu's eyes flickered, but he suddenly asked.

"Lu Chang is a general, there is a way to defend the city, Shenyang has been operated by him for several months, it has already been like an iron wall, unless the grain and grass are cut off, otherwise, the Han army will definitely not be able to attack Shenyang!"

As for who Lu Chang is, Sima Yi is clear in his heart.

He is cautious, and he can rest assured that he can have a hundred or a thousand.

"There have been some rumors in the army lately."

Cao Xiu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Since it's a rumor, the general doesn't have to believe it." Sima Yi had a serious face.

His eyes were secretive, and the meaning in his words seemed to say: If you destroy unity, don't say it!

"Outside Shenyang City, there are not many Han troops, but because of that Lu Chang, he is already preparing to surrender to the Han army."

Some words are blocked in my heart, that is, I don't vomit unpleasantly, Cao Xiu doesn't have the habit of hiding it.

"Then Lu Chang is a person from Jingzhou, and his family is also in Jingzhou, I heard that he has been ruled by the king of Hanzhong, and his army is a sergeant, and his family is also in Jingzhou, so Lu Chang may be loyal and does not care about the lives of his family, but those soldiers under him will not be taken into account?"

With a sigh of relief, Cao Xiu said again: "Besides, it has been two years since his army came out to fight, and it is normal for the army to have some complaints, and many reasons are mixed together, and its loyalty is questionable." ”

Sima Yi's face became more and more difficult to look at.

"Is this what you mean, or is that what General Zilian means?"

Cao Xiu thought for a moment and said, "This is what I mean, and that's what he meant." ”

"The two armies are at war, and it is a taboo for soldiers not to trust the generals who lead the troops!"

Sima Yi roared coldly.

"But you can't fully trust it, there should be doubts, there must still be some, the above has been prepared, let Jia Gong go to Shenyang to preside over the overall situation."

Jia Xu?

Sima Yi's hanging heart has let go of a lot.

If Jia Xu comes out, maybe Shenyang will have a chance to turn around.

"When will Jia Gong leave?"

Sima Yi was ready to ventilate with Jia Xu.

"It's already gone."

Pity.

Sima Yi sighed, and he could only hand over Shenyang's safety to Jia Xu

At this time.

Shenyang City.

The lobby of the government office.

Lu Chang's brows were already wrinkling deeper and deeper.

"More than 100 people escaped last night?"

The adjutant general nodded and said, "Outside the city is embattled, and there are family members in the army shouting, and some soldiers can't stand it. ”

"The people who escaped, but they were caught?"

"Dozens of people have been arrested, what should we do with these people?"

What should I do?

Lu Changxin was ruthless and said: "Military law!" ”

"Yes"

The adjutant general's eyes struggled, he immediately knelt on the ground, and pleaded: "I have repeatedly asked for help, but we have not seen reinforcements, but we want Jia Xu to go to Shenyang City to preside over the overall situation, general, then Cao Hong will not trust the general, if Jia Xu comes, the lives of the sons and daughters will not be guaranteed." These more than 100 sons can be regarded as those who have left blood for the general and fought battles, so they will spare their lives! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Chang's eyes narrowed, and between his eyebrows and eyes, he was already full of murderous energy!

The adjutant general's lips trembled, but he still stubbornly said, "General, why don't you surrender?" ”

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "There are many people who have surrendered to the crown prince of Hanzhong in my Wei country, and they seem to be forbidden, and now they are guarding Jiangxia, and they are also happy, so the general may wish to follow suit." ”

Fall?

I am a loyal servant, why do you want me to be a thief?

But not down.

How to appease the sergeants and soldiers, and how to gain Cao Hong's trust?

Tired~

Lu Chang only felt that his heart was too tired.
