The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 353 Disrupting Army Morale, Suffering a Blow

"General Guan, the king has no choice but to do this. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city." Zhang Ling persuaded.

The officials in the main hall also spoke to persuade, Guan Xin was furious: "You... you only care about your own life and death, my family is about to be slaughtered by the officers and soldiers, I can't just sit idly by, I want to take my troops to Save them."

Liu Shao patted Guan Xin on the shoulder and said: "The official army lacks the ability to attack the city, so they can only fight with us outside the city. This is exactly what you want."

Pushing away Liu Shao's hand, Guan Xin glared at him and said, "Then I can't just sit and watch them slaughter my people, otherwise I would be a son of man in vain."

"Would you like to write a letter from the general, pretend to surrender, enter the official army camp, save your family and return to Zhuojun, and we will meet you outside?" Yuan Hongyang's counselor Yin Sui said.

"Is it so easy to deceive the officers and soldiers? I don't care, I will go out of the city to fight them to the death! If you dare not fight the officers and soldiers, just wave the flag for me on the city." After finishing speaking, ignoring everyone's obstruction, with The soldiers will go back and lead the army out of the city to fight the official army.

"Your Majesty, General Guan's subordinates are all elites who have experienced battles. It would be a pity to go out of the city to die." Yin Sui paused and continued: "Otherwise, let's leave General Guan in the palace and let him calm down. Silence."

Yuan Hongyang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Come here, tell General Guan to go to this king's bedroom to rest."

Several guards hurriedly chased them out and stopped Guan Xin and his own soldiers who were about to leave the palace.Guan Xin drew his knife and fought with them, chopped down several guards and ran back to his barracks on horseback.

"Waste, a bunch of waste." Yuan Hongyang was so angry that he wanted to kill them when he heard that his subordinates reported that Guan Xin had returned to his camp.

Liu Shao coughed twice, stepped forward and said: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, we will go out of the city with Guan Xin to meet the enemy, maybe we can gain something?"

Everyone in the hall remained silent, apparently disagreeing with his opinion, Liu Shao shook his head helplessly and retreated.He felt that he had come to the wrong place. The rebels in Zhuo County were obviously not the ones who could accomplish great things.

Although he wanted to go out of the city to fight with Guan Xin, it was very difficult for them to break through the fortifications built by the officers and soldiers outside the city, and none of them could come back.

Guan Xin gathered his troops and was about to leave the city when he saw an old man jogging over, shouting as he ran: "General Guan, stay back and think twice."

Seeing the old man's face clearly, Guan Xin didn't dare to neglect, jumped off the horse, went up to support the old man: "Men, why are you here?"

"Let me persuade you. Your father sent me a letter before leaving Zhongshan." Then he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Guan Xin, and continued: "Your father wants to keep the letter." The strength of the housekeeper is why I advise you to rebel.

But he didn't expect Yuan Hongyang to be so unbearable. On the surface, he was clean and self-sufficient, and he didn't covet beauty and money.But he secretly built a large pool in the palace, which was covered with gold, accompanied by hundreds of beautiful maidservants. "

"What? Your Majesty is so dignified. Why does the teacher want me to join the army again?" Guan Xin asked.

The old man shook his head, took a few deep breaths and said, "No, you have no chance of turning back. Your father is also confused, why does he have to fight against the court. I don't want you to die. I have some differences with Li Du of the official army. Friendship, you can write a letter and ask him to give you a chance to fight upright, no matter what the result is, it will not hurt your family."

Guan Xin knelt down in gratitude and kowtowed to the old man: "Master is very kind, and I will repay Xin in the next life."

The old man took out a letter and handed it to Guan Xin, then turned around and left.The tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop, he sighed and said: "Don't blame me as a teacher, there is nothing I can do about it. Yuan Hongyang tied up my family, and I can't help it."

Yuan Hongyang was dissatisfied with Guan Xin for a long time. He refused to obey his orders and insisted on attacking Jicheng.So he deliberately let the responders not receive Guan Xin's family members, and wanted the officers and soldiers to kill Guan Xin's family members to relieve their hatred.

Unexpectedly, the official army used Guan Xin's family members to force him to leave the city, which he did not expect.Now that the elites under Guan Xin's command are wiped out, the strength of several parties will be greatly damaged.

He called his confidants to his side: "You take 1000 people to help out, and find a time to kill Guan Xin. Bring his troops back, we can't let these elites just die like this."

The confidant was taken aback by his words, killed Guan Xin, and could not survive himself, so he wanted to refuse with a sad face.Yuan Hongyang has drawn out his long sword and put it on his neck: "If you don't go, I will kill you."

The confidant was helpless, so he could only go to order the troops and horses of the headquarters, and was ready to chase after the letter.

Guan Xin ordered the defenders to open the city gate, and his men were already waiting in line.At this moment, the confidants sent by Yuan Hongyang arrived: "The last general, Deng Liang, is willing to fight with the general."

"Why do you go to die with me?"

"I admire the general's character very much, and I want to serve under the general's command. Please don't refuse the general, I have brought 1000 troops to the headquarters."

One more person means more strength, and Guan Xin doesn't care about anything else, so he wants to take them out of the city for a decisive battle.Deng Liang didn't dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, he wanted to kill Guan Xin before he left, so that he wouldn't have to face the wolves like tigers.

Looking at the right time, he stabbed Guan Xin with a knife, but Guan Xin lowered his head and dodged it.The soldiers beside him wanted to step forward to help, but were entangled by the soldiers brought by Deng Liang.

Guan Xin's martial arts skills are very high, he chopped off Deng Liang's horse with a few strokes, and his men also captured the soldiers brought by Deng Liang.

Time was wasted like this. Du Yu was impatient with waiting, and said to his guards: "Tie up Guan Xin's family members, and drag them around the city with horses, but make sure that one dies every hour. We are Officers and soldiers, you can’t keep your promises.”

After Guan Xin left the city, he saw his family members being dragged behind the horses, so he was so angry that he ordered his men to attack.His personal guard stopped him and sent a cavalryman to deliver the message.

Seeing Guan Xin leaving the city, the Xinjun dragged Guan Xin's family and ran away.Yang Du, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to direct the firing when he saw cavalry running towards Guan Xin's side.

He asked his subordinates to respond, and arranged artillery to prepare for the attack. After handing over the letter, Guan Xin's subordinates ran back. He was afraid that he would be killed, so he hid on the side of the horse's back.

"Oh, Guan Xin is so scheming, he moved out my teacher, advised me to bring his family to surrender, and even scolded me in the letter for being disloyal and unrighteous, like a pig and a dog." Yang Du looked at the swear words in his hand. The letter is very puzzled, I don't know what Guan Xin means, how can I defect and surrender to the enemy.

Their teacher Li Xi was also forced by Yuan Hongyang, but he didn't want his two disciples to fight each other, so he wrote to ask Yang Du to release Guan Xin's family.

After Yuan Hongyang knew the content of the letter, he ordered someone to change the letter, and then Li Xi handed it to Guan Xin.
