Three Kingdoms King of the North

"I see." After Tanma finished speaking, Li Jue turned to look at Guo Si and said, "Sure enough, the Jizhou army was one step ahead and arrived outside the camp in the west of the city. Ah Duo, tell me, what should we do now? Should we go?" Shall we fight to the death with the Jizhou army, or turn around and go north to Meiwu?"

"According to my opinion," Guo Si couldn't help thinking to himself when he learned that there were indeed Jizhou troops gathered outside the camp in the west of the city. He thought that if this happened, Li Jue would have to follow his own advice and lead his troops to Qiwu.General Meiwu is his confidant, and after the army enters the city, he can control the situation in his own hands.However, he was worried that if he agreed too readily, it might arouse Li Jue's suspicion, so he pretended to hesitate for a long time, and finally said: "How about going to Meiwu according to Wu Xi's opinion?"

Li Jueguang thought that there was an army of Jizhou outside the camp in the west of the city, but he forgot that Meiwu was Guo Bang's territory. Once he entered there, he would not be able to speak easily.He nodded and urged: "It's not too late, let's set off now. Otherwise, when the Jizhou army catches up, many soldiers and horses will disperse along the way."

But it was getting late, even if Li Jue, Guo Si and others were cavalrymen, the journey was long, and the morale of the soldiers after suffering a disastrous defeat was low, and they were already exhausted after driving for hundreds of miles.So after they had traveled thirty miles northward, they stopped and set up camp.

After Wu Xi set up his tent, he immediately called Feng Er into the tent, and told him, "Feng Er, you rush to the Jizhou army overnight, and report to General Zhao Yun about the camping of Li and Guo here. Report. By the way, let me ask him what he means, should we solve Li and Guo here, or go back to Meiwu and talk about it later?"

"I understand." After receiving Wu Xi's order, Feng Er immediately turned around and left the tent, taking advantage of the chaos in the camp, he sneaked out of the camp.

After Feng Er left the camp, in order to see Zhao Yun and others as soon as possible, he no longer cherished the horsepower, desperately whipped his mount with a whip, and rushed towards the camp of the Jizhou army.

About ten miles away from the Jizhou military camp, Feng Er was stopped by a patrolling soldier.Seeing the weapons pointing at him all around, Feng Er hurriedly said: "Brothers, don't misunderstand, I have something to report to General Zhao in advance." Hearing what he said, the patrolling soldiers couldn't help but be dubious.To be on the safe side, he tied his hands behind his back, covered his eyes with a black cloth, threw him on the horse, and brought him back to the camp.

The patrol team came to Zhao Yun's big tent, and a soldier guarding the door whispered a few words.The soldier turned around and ran into the tent. After a while, the soldier came out and said to the team leader: "The general has an order, bring that man here."

Just like that, Feng Er was blindfolded, with his hands tied behind his back, and was pushed into Zhao Yun's big tent by two soldiers.Seeing Feng Er standing in the middle of the tent, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers, "Untie him, and take off the black cloth from his eyes."

Second-class soldier Feng took off the black cloth from his eyes and untied him, then immediately knelt down in front of Zhao Yun and said, "I have seen General Zhao!"

"So it's Brother Feng Er." Guo Jia, who was sitting beside Zhao Yun, stood up, went to Feng Er and helped him up, and asked with a smile, "You're here in the camp now, what's the matter?"

"The young one has met Mr. Guo." After Feng Erchao Guo Jia saluted, he said, "The young one is ordered by my general to come to see the general and Mr. Li and Guo are now thirty miles away from here. Camping outside, my general ordered the villain to ask, should we eradicate them overnight, or wait until Meiwu to do it?"

Knowing that the troops of Li and Guo had set up camp thirty miles away, Zhao Yun couldn't help feeling overjoyed, saying that as long as he led his troops to make a sneak attack, he would be able to kill Li and Guo.

Unexpectedly, after Guo Jia heard Feng Er's words, he said with a normal expression: "Brother Feng Er, if our army went to rob the camp overnight, although we could kill Li Guo and Li Guo, we might not be able to catch them. Once Let the two of them escape, and if you want to catch them later, it will be impossible."

Hearing what Guo Jia said, Feng Er couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.He murmured: "Mr. Guo, please forgive me for being bold. Once Li and Guo lead their troops back to Meiwu, it will not be an easy task to destroy the city."

"We just want Li and Guo to return to Meiwu." As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, not to mention Feng Er was stunned, even Zhao Yun was confused.Zhao Yun didn't understand, since Li and Guo could be defeated by robbing the camp, why did they let them go back to Meiwu first?

Guo Jia saw the doubts of the two, and continued: "Jia just said that our army can take advantage of the night to rob the camp, and it is true that Li and Guo's soldiers can be wiped out. But can we catch Li and Guo Er? People are unknown, and in the melee, it is inevitable to cause accidental injuries to General Wu Xi's subordinates. Once the two sides have resolved their enmity, how will they get along when they are both subordinates of Jizhou in the future?" Listen After Guo Jia's statement, both Zhao Yun and Feng Er nodded, thinking that what he said made some sense.

"Mr. Feng Xiao," Zhao Yun waited for Guo Jia to finish speaking, and asked, "If Li and Guo have retreated into Meiwu, it may not be an easy task for our army to seize the city."

"Without the help of General Wu Xi, it would not have been easy for us to capture Meiwu." Guo Jia waved his signature feather fan again, and said with confidence: "But now that General Wu Xi is the internal response, it is simply impossible to capture Meiwu. It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand. We can send people to seal the four gates in advance, and then send people to arrest Li Jue, Guo Si and others after entering the city, and then they will be unable to escape."

"Wonderful, it really is a clever plan!" As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Zhao Yun clapped his hands and applauded, and then said to Feng Er: "Brother Feng Er, please go back and tell General Wu Xi to let him act rashly, but first follow Li Guoer The thief returns to Meiwu, and it will not be too late to take action after our soldiers have approached the city."

"I understand." After Feng Er agreed, he said goodbye to Zhao Yun and Guo Jia: "I will return to the camp and report this matter to my general."

Feng Er hurried back to the camp built by Li and Guo. Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the gate knew him and let him into the camp without interrogating him.Feng Er came outside Wu Xi's tent, handed over the horse to a confidant who was guarding outside the tent, then opened the curtain and walked in.

"We just want Li and Guo to return to Meiwu." As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, not to mention Feng Er was stunned, even Zhao Yun was confused.Zhao Yun didn't understand, since Li and Guo could be defeated by robbing the camp, why did they let them go back to Meiwu first?

Chapter 306 Please enter the urn

Silent all night.

After dawn, Li Jue and Guo Si returned to Meiwu with the army.

Hu Zhen, the guard of Meiwu, was Dong Zhuo's former subordinate, and Yang Ding, who was also from Liangzhou, was a famous hero in Liangzhou.Later, after Dong Zhuo died, he immediately took refuge in Wang Yun.When Li Jue and Guo Si rebelled, Wang Yun sent him and Xu Rong to lead troops to meet them. As a result, Xu Rong died in battle, and he led his troops to surrender.

Since Li Guo started to fight, he felt that Li Jue had no chance of winning, so he switched to Guo Si and was entrusted with an important task as the guard of Meiwu.When he learned that Li Jue and Guo Si had led troops to Meiwu, he quickly ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and all the soldiers went up to the city wall to be on guard.

Regarding Hu Zhen's move, one of his military marquises asked inexplicably: "General, you are General Guo's subordinate, why did you not only go out of the city to meet him when you heard that General Guo was coming to Meiwu, but ordered you to go out of the city?" What about closing the city gates and strengthening the guard?"

"What do you know?!" Hu Zhen yelled at Junhou, "When we joined the Great General before, he was fighting fiercely with Da Sima Li. Now that the two of them join forces, General Guo only has Da Sima Li If Li Da Sima bears a grudge against me for betraying him and wants to get rid of me, do you think General Guo will speak for me?"

For Hu Zhen's statement, Junhou felt that there was some truth.But he looked around and said worriedly: "General, most of the defenders in the city are the old troops of General Guo. If the general arrives later, will they be able to attack?"

"Take one step at a time, we can't sit still and wait for death." Hu Zhen looked at the dust rising in the distance and said, "If Da Sima Li can forgive my sins, it won't be too late to open the city gate then."

Li Jue and Guo Si led their troops to the outside of Meiwu City, but found that the city gate was closed and the suspension bridge was hanging high.Li Jue turned to look at Guo Bang and asked, "Aduo, why didn't the guards open the city gate to welcome him?"

"Zhiran, you wait here for a while, and I will ask you." Guo Si said, urged his horse to the side of the moat, looked up at the city wall and shouted loudly: "Ask Hu Zhen Hu to come out to see me. "

"The last general sees the great general!" Hearing Guo Bang calling his name at the bottom of the city, Hu Zhen couldn't avoid it, so he walked to the wall, leaned out half of his body from the crenel, and said to Guo Bang at the bottom of the city: "I don't know. So far, the general has not greeted you far away, please forgive me."

"Cai," Guo Bang saw Hu Zhen's respectful attitude towards him, knew that he had not betrayed him, and a dangling Xin fell back into his stomach, and quickly ordered: "Quickly open the city gate and let me wait." Into the city."

"Wait a minute, General." Seeing that Guo Si was about to turn around and greet the soldiers and horses behind to enter the city, Hu Zhen stopped him loudly: "Hu was originally under the command of the Great Sima, but later defected to the General. Now the General came with the Great Sima In Meiwu, Hu feared for his life, so he dared not open the city gate."

Guo Si frowned and thought about it, and felt that what Hu Zhen said made some sense, after all, the other party came here from Li Jue's command.If Li Jue is allowed to enter the city hastily, what should he do if he wants to settle accounts after the fall?So he looked up at Hu Zhen on the city wall and said, "Cai, just wait here for a while, and it won't be too late to reply to you after I have discussed with Da Sima."

After speaking, Guo Si turned his horse's head and returned to the army formation.Seeing that Guo Si returned without success, Li Jue asked with some displeasure, "Aduo, why hasn't the guard opened the city gate for so long?"

"Zhiran, there is a difficult matter now." Guo Si said to Li Jue with some embarrassment: "Hu Zhen, the guard in the city, used to be under your command. Later, when you and I were fighting, he led his troops to join me. His So you refuse to open the city gate because you are worried that after you enter the city, you will give him a settlement, and then his life will be in danger."

After Li Jue heard this, he frowned and said, "It's really unreasonable. Why would my Da Sima hold grudges against him for such a trivial matter? You go back and tell him that as long as he opens the city gate, Ben Da Sima will never embarrass him .”

Guo Bang said: "Zhiran, in my opinion, in order to reassure Hu Cai, you should accompany me to walk under the city wall yourself. As long as you tell Hu Cai personally that you don't care about the past, trust him The gates will be opened immediately."

Hearing what Guo Si said, Li Jue had no choice but to reply: "Forget it, I will go and give him an explanation."

"It's so naive."

Li Jue urged his mount impatiently, and followed Guo Si to the moat.He raised his head and shouted towards the city wall, "Where is Hu Zhen?"

When Hu Zhen heard Li Jue calling him from the bottom of the city, he quickly leaned out and said respectfully, "The last general, Hu Zhen, see Da Sima!"

"Hu Cai, as long as you open the city gate!" Li Jue said in an orderly tone: "I will never care about your betrayal in the past. If you break your oath, you will be punished."

Hearing Li Jue swearing and swearing outside the city, Hu Zhen knew that his life was saved, so he quickly said: "Please wait a moment, the great Sima and the general, the last general will order people to open the gate of the city immediately." Then he ordered the soldiers around him , "Open the city gate, lower the drawbridge, and welcome the army into the city!"

The drawbridge was lowered and the city gates opened.Hu Zhen stood at the gate of the city to welcome Li Jue and Guo Si.He knelt down in front of their horses, and said respectfully: "The last general, Hu Zhen, sees the great Sima, and the great general!"

Although Li Jue hated this person who had betrayed him, but now his subordinates will be completely lost, and even his two most trusted nephews died in the battle yesterday.For someone as capable as Hu Zhen, he naturally had to find a way to win him over.Seeing Hu Zhen kneeling in front of his horse at this moment, he quickly got off the horse, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "General Hu, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly! Let's go into the city with me."

Everything that happened in front of the city gate was noticed by Wu Xi, and he felt that he could use this incident to make a fuss.Maybe it can make the plan of capturing Meiwu and eradicating the two thieves Li and Guo more effective.He saw that Li Jue had walked into the city arm in arm with Hu Zhen in order to win Hu Zhen over, and hurriedly rode his horse to Guo Si's side, and said to him, "General, it seems that this Hu Cai is about to join the Great Sima again." I mean, you have to be more careful."

Guo Bang looked at Li Jue and Hu Zhen who were walking in front, feeling sour and unhappy. After snorting heavily through his nose, he said to Wu Xi, "Let's enter the city."

Wu Xi was half a horse behind Guo Bang, walked towards the city along the street, and at the same time began to slander: "General, if Hu Cai defected to Da Sima, our life in Meiwu City will be difficult. .”
