In the afternoon, Guo Wentong woke up, got up, and immediately knelt down with the class to greet him.

"Let's all get up!" Guo Wentong stood for a moment and said, "It's cool here, and it's windy, it's good." ”

And he commanded, "Bring it up!"

The officials and taishou who survived by the sword soldiers in the county were all arrested, and they were naturally brought to him at this time.

Guo Wentong stopped talking, and watched silently, the eyes of this Taishou were a middle-aged fat man, and his soul was already frightened, so he couldn't help sneering, it was not worth dying for Zhang Xiaocheng last night.

Such a warrior, to die for this thing, what a waste!

At this time, Taishou woke up, screamed miserably, and knelt on the ground: "Dashuai, spare your life!"

This shout particularly disgusted Guo Wentong, and Guo Wentong said coldly: "Pull it down, cut it." ”

"No, no!"

At this time, four pro-soldiers immediately came in and dragged out the trembling Taishou, as for the men and women who were crying, they naturally went to Huangquan with the previous one.

"They burned their bodies together and threw them into mass graves. Guo Wentong said instructed.

He also ordered his own people to patrol the city and receive the forces of each checkpoint at the same time.

"Zhang Xun. Guo Wentong saw Zhang Xun coming.

"My lord. Zhang Xunchong and Guo Wentong arched his hand.

"What is the result of the inventory?" Guo Wentong asked.

Zhang Xun's face is not very good-looking, it may have been rained last night, or he may have been shocked by the number after the counting.

"My lord, the last general has counted the casualties, and the total number of casualties is ...... A total of seven thousand people. ”

"Seven thousand people ......" read this number, Guo Wentong felt bitter in his mouth.

is somewhat similar to Wang Hongyi's situation, the total number of troops in Guo Wentong's hands is okay, and the veterans who can be pulled out to fight now are actually not many, and one less dies.

Of the 7,000 casualties, even if some of them returned from injury, it still made him feel pain.

The defenders of Liangchuan County fought so badly, and there were not many left.

In a short period of time, it was lost.

Thinking of this, Guo Wentong said: "The wounded are well settled, and the dead should be buried on the spot." ”

It is unrealistic to bring the corpse back.

"The last will obey. Zhang Xun responded.

At this time, the sun was shining, Guo Wentong stayed in Taishou Mansion, and the rescue letter sent by Hanzhong and the information from Hanzhong had arrived here.

"My lord, we received a message from Hanzhong, and Hanzhong has not yet gone down at this time. Seeing that Hanzhong had not been captured by Wang Hongyi at this time, Guo Wentong's generals, who had just won a big victory, were all excited.

"Lord, this kind of opportunity is really rare, it is better for the army to go straight to Hanzhong, and attack Wang Hongyi!"

Hearing this, Guo Wentong hesitated a little, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Let's discuss this matter again, you have worked hard, go and rest!"

The other troops will leave, and at some point, the sky will be overcast.

The county seat of Liangchuan was already in Guo Wentong's hands at this time.

It was that some small resistance forces were eradicated in a short period of time.

Guo Wentong lived in the Taishou Mansion in the city, and the entire mansion master and servant were killed, which seemed extremely empty, which did not affect Guo Wentong's mood.

It is an important choice to affect the mood.

"My lord, it seems that it is not the right time for the minister, and it is time for you to eat. At dinner, Guo Wentong had just sat down at the table, and the strategist Chang Huaiyuan slowly came in from outside.

With a smile on his face, he should have arranged the affairs of the city.

When Chang Huaiyuan came in, several soldiers were carrying a few meals and placing them on the stone table.

"Have you ever used it yet, if you haven't used it yet, let's sit down and eat it together." Guo Wentong saw that he had arrived, he didn't mind, he didn't get up, he casually pointed to the empty place next to him, and invited the other party.

Chang Huai is far from being polite.

"The minister has overstepped. Saying this, Chang Huaiyuan was already a handful of clothes and sat down.

"Go, put dishes and chopsticks for Mr. Chang, and add two hot dishes. Guo Wentong said to the soldiers next to him.

Because he is marching and fighting, he generally does not carry female dependents in the army, Guo Wentong is a military general, and he is extremely obedient to this rule. At this time, there was no maid by his side to serve, and Guo Wentong had something on his mind, and there were only three dishes on the table.

The arrival of Chang Huaiyuan added to the rich surname of dinner.

After a while, a dish of boiled fish and a plate of vegetarian stir-fry were served.

The firefighters in the army are average, but the chef's skills are certainly good, and the aroma spreads as soon as the dishes are put on the table. Two bowls of white rice, also exuding a faint aroma.

Because the stomach was indeed empty, the two did not say much and began to eat.

The children of the big clan pay attention to food and silence, Guo Wentong and Chang Huaiyuan are from famous families, they have something to say, but at the dinner table, the two of them are extremely quiet, and their every move is quite regular.

After a while, the two had dinner.

A soldier stepped forward and replaced the bowl. The stone table was wiped clean and replaced with tea cups and fruits.

At this time, the two of them spoke.

"Huaiyuan is here, but it's for the Shu army?" After tasting tea and moistening his throat, Guo Wentong took the lead and asked the henchman sitting opposite.

Chang Huaiyuan did not deny that the lord guessed his intentions, and nodded: "Exactly." Lord, do you already have a plan?"

Guo Wentong's expression was calm, and he asked instead of answering: "Huaiyuan, what do you think of this matter?"

"The minister can only put forward some analysis, as for the idea, I still want you to take it. Chang Huaiyuan said in a respectful tone. Public and private, Chang Huaiyuan has always been clear.

Guo Wentong nodded. "I know this, please tell me. ”

Chang Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes and said very slowly, but the words were like needles: "Wang Hongyi, he has great ambitions, if this person gets the dragon sword, he will say that if he doesn't take Qinchuan now, there will always be a say, and he will come to take Qinchuan, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers." ”

After listening to this, Guo Wentong was silent for a long time.

"That's true. He sighed softly.

If the two males fight, there will be an injury, and if they don't fight, it's not his surname.

He never forgot that although Wang Hongyi refused the title of King of Qin, he still left a map of Guanzhong.

Shu Di and Qinchuan Guanzhong are adjacent to each other, and no one can say for sure, after Wang Hongyi solves the dragon sword problem, he will turn his hand and attack Qinchuan.

Taking advantage of Wang Hongyi's siege of the city, he gave the Shu army a belly and back to suffer the enemy, and this hidden danger, which may cause great trouble to himself in the future, will be eliminated by himself in one fell swoop at this time.

After considering the interests of both parties, Guo Wentong finally made up his mind.

At noon, the gate of Liangchuan County was opened, and the army marched out of the city.

In the newly pacified Liangchuan County, only 2,000 soldiers were left with two commanders to stay here, and the army was led by Guo Wentong and marched towards Hanzhong together.

In front of the team, Guo Wentong took the lead, followed by several commanders, as well as Chang Huaiyuan, a strategist who came with the army.

Chang Huaiyuan is a literati, but he used to have no worries about food and clothing, and his physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary scribes.

"Ahead, it's Qiyuan County, after this county, and then over a mountain, you can see Hanzhong City!"

Over the past few days, Guo Wentong's army has traveled very quickly, and along the way, he has plundered the nearby county capitals, and while getting a lot of grain and grass, he has blocked the news and forbade the news to be transmitted to Hanzhong in advance.

"Pass the order, before tonight, arrive in Qiyuan County and rest in Qiyuan County!"

At the sound of an order, the army once again accelerated its march.

At dusk, the army led by Guo Wentong had already arrived in Qiyuan County, where the county commander had already been frightened and fled.

When Guo Wentong arrived at the city with his troops, the county government was already empty, and after entering the county seat, the army blocked the news as usual, closed the city gate, and did not allow the people to enter and leave at will.

Just after dinner, a commander climbed the city wall of the county seat, inspected, and looked at the mountains in the distance, but unexpectedly found that a horse sneaked out of the city gate and galloped towards the mountains.

"Can't let him run away! Catch this person quickly! If you can't catch him, kill him on the spot!" The commander immediately realized that something was wrong, frowned, and said to the accompanying team next to him.

"The last general obeys!" The team was immediately ordered to go out, leading a team of men and horses, and immediately went out of the city to chase them.

Because they are not far apart, the people on both sides are constantly pulling the distance.

The man riding in front of him was very fast, and he saw that he had gone up the mountain road, and he was gradually disappearing on the mountain.

Thinking of the order of the commander, the pursuing team finally drew their bows, drew their bows and arrows, and shot an arrow at the man galloping in front of them!

The man in front of him was hit by an arrow in the back, plopped and fell off his horse, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The general who was tracking urged him to go forward, and the soldiers had already dismounted to check.

"General, this man is out of breath. The soldier said.

"If you are dead, bring the body back to life. The team hesitated, and as he spoke, he ordered the corpse to be carried on horseback and led back to the county seat.

Because the pursuers were so focused on the dead that no one noticed that on the mountain road they were tracking, an inconspicuous piece of silk cloth had been hung on the branch of a certain tree, and it was very firmly hung, and the tassels swayed in the wind.

After the men had gone, about half an hour later, a woodcutter began to pass by.

As if he had inadvertently seen this piece of silk cloth, a smile appeared on the woodcutter's face.

He walked over gently, tore the silk cloth off it, and the woodcutter stuffed it into his bosom, and then carried the few pieces of firewood, and did not go down the mountain, but walked towards the way he came.

Soon after, two carrier pigeons, one after the other, were released from an inconspicuous corner of the mountain into the distance.

"Have you found out the identity of this person?" In the county seat, Guo Wentong sat in the hall, and when he saw the commander coming to report, he asked in a deep voice.

"Lord, this person's identity and name, once traced, are all fake, and the real name is nowhere to be checked. The commander replied.

Nowhere to find it?

Secret agents?

Guo Wentong couldn't help frowning: "Is it fine? Can you find secret letters and other things on him?"

"My lord, the last general has examined it, and no letters or anything suspicious have been found on him. ”

"It seems that it was passed on orally, and I didn't bring a letter!" Guo Wentong sighed, waved his hand, and said: "In this case, forget it, early tomorrow morning, the army will immediately set off and rush to Hanzhong." In the meantime, no one is to be allowed to leave the city. ”

"No. Guo Wentong looked at his subordinates leaving, and when he was relaxed, he suddenly felt sleepy.

Just when Guo Wentong went to sleep in the dormitory, the two carrier pigeons had already crossed the mountain range and flew outside Hanzhong City one after the other.

Because they had undergone special training, they soon passed on two letters with the same content to Wang Hongyi's Thirteenth Division.

"I've seen the Lord. One of the 13 divisions and 100 households responsible for the delivery of the letterhead, after the salute, handed over two identical letters to Wang Hongyi's hands.

"Well, stand down. After Wang Hongyi took the letter, he said without raising his head.

"No. The thirteen divisions and hundreds of households responded respectfully and quickly retreated.

Wang Hongyi did not show any surprise at the fact that there were two letters with the same content.

This is a backup move that will be done when encountering an important military situation.

At this time, Wang Hongyi was the only one in the big tent, holding the letter and reading it for a while, Wang Hongyi opened the two letters and looked at them.

The letter was opened, and when he saw what was written on it, Wang Hongyi first frowned, and then smiled.

"I really didn't expect that Guo Wentong would still be able to capture Liangchuan County on the eighth day, and the speed is considered to be fast!"

"However, the loss is estimated to be more than 5,000? Very good, only 30,000 troops, right?"

"Hmph, the 20,000-strong army marched towards Hanzhong, and sure enough, they still chose to fight against me. Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi sneered.

In my previous life on Earth, I had read a lot of information and, for people who predicted the future, the most taboo thing was to be fascinated by prediction.

In his previous life, Li Chengye attacked Guanzhong, and it was not wrong to be injured in both defeats, but it does not mean that in order to avoid this history, he was dizzy and did everything possible to avoid fighting Guo Wentong.

This is a philistine mentality, which will only lead to the removal of the previous historical trap and the result of falling into a worse historical trap.

Determining the realistic strategy is always the overall market and interests, if you don't fight Guanzhong, doesn't King Qin want to attack Shuzhong?

Wang Hongyi's order to attack Hanzhong this time was to test Guo Wentong's strategic choice.

Now, it's basically out.

Guo Wentong has not yet unified Qinchuan, and he already has the ambition to devour Shuzhong!

No matter who is the king of Shu, after Guo Wentong unifies Qinchuan, he is the first target of attack.

It is also normal to say that Shu and Qin are connected together, which is the capital of the emperor, and the Qin Dynasty on the earth uses this to unify the world.

Only when Shu has Qin can there be a foundation, and only when Qin has Shu can it conquer the south upstream.

This strategic place is indispensable.

"Isolation is determined to create a peaceful and prosperous world, and it has become my goal now. Wang Hongyi's eyes flashed with cold light: "In the current situation, if you can break it, you are the king, and if you can't break it, you can't be fascinated by the history of your previous life." ”

Slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Wang Hongyi already had killing intent in his eyes: "Pass the Gu order, attack the city immediately!"

After getting off this city, he was under the city of Hanzhong and fought a decisive battle with Guo Wentong.

killed Shulong Li Chengye, but I couldn't think of the second one, and the first one to kill was Qin Long!
