At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

For example, Cai Hao, the guard of Xiangyang, will definitely not resist the soldiers of the emperor, and will surrender. For example, Jiangling has not yet confirmed whether the Wei army has gone south, and has not even prepared for war. Under the harassment of others, it is difficult for them to accomplish anything.

Zhang Yun introduced the main battle factions that may appear in Jiangling City, such as Han Song, Wang Wei, and Su Fei. These three are likely to resist, not to mention Jiangxia Huang Zu, who are on the death list.

Then, Nanyang currently has two important figures in the Jingzhou Army, Huang Zhong and Wenpin. They have a high reputation in the Jingzhou Army, which cannot be compared with Wang Wei and Su Fei.

Before Liu Biao rejected them and seized their military power, they were very chilled, so they returned to their hometown in Nanyang. If they can be allowed to enter the battle order of the Wei army, they will definitely be able to take Jiangling without bloodshed, and even take down the main force of the Jingzhou army. .

"Since that's the case, where are these two people? Can I ask Mr. Zhang Fu to introduce us?"

Guo Jia laughed.

"There is nothing wrong with it. It just so happens that these two are from Wan County, and they are in the city at this time."

"Oh?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "In that case, why didn't they come to greet the army when it entered the city? Don't they want to surrender?"

Zhang Yun shook his head.

"I sent someone to ask about it. Huang Hansheng said he was sick, and Wen Zhongye said he couldn't do his duty to help the Lord. He felt ashamed and didn't dare to see people, so he didn't want to see General Le and Guo Pushe."

Guo Jia and Le Jin glanced at each other and nodded.

"Well then, I'll go see these two generals."

Guo Jia said so.

"This...Guo Pushe has a noble status, so I'm afraid it's not suitable..."

"What's wrong with this? Is my status so honorable? Since I'm a talent, it's worth visiting."

Guo Jia insisted on going, but Zhang Yun had nothing to do, so he took Guo Jia to visit Huang Zhong's mansion first. On the way, Guo Jia told Guo Jia that Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu was recuperating in Jizhou.

I see……

Guo Jia understood, and followed Zhang Yun to Huang Zhong's mansion.

After a while, servants from Huang Zhong's mansion came out to meet Zhang Yun and Guo Jia, saying that Huang Zhong invited them in.

"Huang Hansheng doesn't know the rules, what kind of noble status is Guo Pushe? He doesn't come out to greet him in person?"

Zhang Yun was very dissatisfied, and scolded Huang Zhong's servants, who were trembling with fright, while Guo Jia smiled freely.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I never care about this kind of thing, as long as General Huang is willing to see me."

Guo Jia cheerfully asked his servants to lead the way, and went to meet Huang Zhong.

In the backyard of the Huang Mansion, Huang Zhong was shooting a target with his bow and arrow.

The archery target was placed on the way Guo Jia came. When Guo Jia saw Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was facing Guo Jia. He drew a hard bow to the full string, and then let go of his hand. With a whoosh sound, the arrow was as fast as lightning. It was inserted into the target like a horse, and the force was so great that the arrow actually passed through the target.

And Guo Jia was actually only a few steps away from the target.

"Huang Hansheng! You..."

Just as Zhang Yun was about to scold, Guo Jia stopped him with a smile, then clapped his hands and stepped forward, laughing loudly: "General Huang's archery skills are really amazing, such a hard bow, such a thick target, General Huang Pull the full string, and shoot the arrow through the target, as far as Jia is concerned, there are only a handful of archers in our army who have such archery skills."

Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia, took a deep breath, and put down the hard bow in his hand.

"Guo Pushe has a noble status, he is busy with affairs, and the dignified royal family of Wei State, why should he condescend to waste time in my old mansion, and still be angry?"

"Is General Huang old?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I heard that General Huang has fought for Liu Jingsheng for ten years, and he has accumulated a lot of merit. Things don't matter."

Huang Zhong looked at Guo Jia.

"Zhang Xian rebelled under the banner of the Wei State. I wonder if Guo Pushe has contributed to this?"

"I said no, is General Huang willing to believe it?"

Guo Jia smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about me, even His Majesty doesn't know what's going on. At that time, we were doing our best to deal with Jiangdong and eradicate the Sun family. How can we deal with the chaos in Jingzhou? Zhang Xian doesn't know where he came from." To come out and do such things under the name of Wei's flag, Wei Guo is really innocent."

Huang Zhong was silent for a while.

"I'm old, and I don't want to do anything. I just want to spend my old age in my hometown in Nanyang and enjoy peace. Now that Mr. Zhang has surrendered, I think that with the reputation of Emperor Wei, he will definitely not harm Nanyang and embarrass me, Guo Pu. Please go back, and from now on, Huang Zhong will never exist."

Huang Zhong turned his back to Guo Jia.

chapter 800

"Is General Huang really willing to retire here?"

Guo Jia smiled, pointing to the arrow that shot through the target and said with a smile: "Such a sharp arrow will never appear in this world again? Lian Po is eighty and can still eat a meal of rice and ten catties of meat. General Huang is only fifty years old, why is this so?

Will Wei Tianzi's grand plan and great cause stop in Jingzhou?Will it stop within China?To the west of Liangzhou and to the north of Youbing, is there no enemy?Why can't those places be the battlefield where Chinese men gallop? "

Huang Zhong's body trembled, and then he closed his eyes tightly, his face full of painful entanglements.

After a stick of incense, Guo Jiazhi walked out of the Huang's mansion proudly, Zhang Yun followed behind Guo Jia, his face was full of flattery.

"That Huang Hansheng is stinky and hard. For ten years, we have never been able to get together. I didn't expect Guo Pu to say something, so I asked him to surrender. Guo Pu is a great talent, and I admire him."

"Hehehe, there is nothing to admire, it's just a small path."

Guo Jia turned around and looked at Huang Zhong's mansion: "If Huang Hansheng really wanted to retire, why would he shoot that arrow in front of me? It's just a step down. Heroes in the world, whoever has the ability, doesn't have the heart of fame ? But if you want to realize your ambition of fame and fame, you must choose the right lord."

"What Guo Pushe said is very true, the emperor is the best master."

Zhang Yun flattered immediately.

Guo Jia was very helpful, looked at Zhang Yun for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhang Fu, please take me to see Wen Zhongye again."

"Yes."

Zhang Yun immediately led the way, and after a while, brought Guo Jia to Wenfu.

Wenpin's family property is much stronger than Huang Zhong's, and there are many people in the family. It is not an ordinary family. It can be seen from the scale of the mansion. When Guo Jia arrived, Wenpin went out to greet him in person.

"Please trouble Guo Pushe to come here in person, I am terrified."

"Why does General Wen have to do this?"

Guo Jia stretched out his hand to support Wen Pin: "I have heard about General Wen's reputation for a long time, and Jia came here to pay a special visit."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

As soon as Wenpin stretched out his hand to invite Guo Jia to enter, he immediately ordered his servants to host a banquet in honor of Guo Jia, and his family came out to accompany him, giving Guo Jia a completely different sense of being with Huang Zhong.

After the banquet, the family left, and only Wenpin and Guo Jia were in the living room. Even Zhang Yun was asked by Guo Jia to leave Wenfu and go back to work.

"Before I was outside the city, why didn't General Wen come to see me? Today's story, I feel like seeing each other so late!"

Guo Jia held Wenpin's hand, his face was full of sincerity.

These words were indeed not a lie, Guo Jia really felt that Wenpin was right for him in every sense.

"As a minister, I can't persuade the lord, I can't assist the lord, and I can't do anything while watching Jingzhou fall. What qualifications do I have to meet Guo Pushe?"

Wenpin sighed deeply, with a look of shame on his face.

"The general situation in the world is like this. The fall of Jingzhou is a foregone conclusion. By Liu Jingsheng's side, even if Li Mu is reborn and the Marquis of Huaiyin is reborn, the situation cannot be saved. Does General Wen compare himself to Li Mu and Marquis of Huaiyin?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I am just a pawn in the vast sea of ​​people. By chance, I was able to assist the monarch to create great achievements. Why should I force myself to do things that the ancient sages could not do? Life is alive. It's just the word "lived"."

"Guo Pushe's words...Pin is ashamed."

Wen Pin sighed deeply: "When I heard that Mr. Liu passed away and son Cong ascended the throne, I knew that it was Cai's leadership. In fact, when I returned to Nanyang earlier, seeing Zhang Yun like that, I felt something was wrong.

It was just that Zhang Yun had never expected that Zhang Yun would surrender directly. Twenty thousand Jingzhou soldiers did not shoot a single arrow, did not defend a single city, and the entire Nanyang County belonged to Emperor Wei. Thinking about it now, it is really hard to believe. "

Guo Jia patted Wenpin on the shoulder.

"Zhongye, don't think about such things. The world is in such a state of affairs, how can manpower be able to turn it around? Before, Huang Hansheng had agreed to join our army and surrendered to Wei. Why didn't Zhongye return to our country and the emperor? The future is bright! .”

"General Huang also..."

Wenpin thought for a while, and smiled bitterly: "The power of the emperor, I dare not resist, I am willing to surrender."

Guo Jia was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty will be very happy if he finds out. Huang Hansheng and Zhongye can go forward with our army. With your help, it won't take long for the whole of Jingbei to be Wei soil. In another three months at most, the whole of Jingzhou will be Wei soil! I Wait until you can present victory to His Majesty! Hahahahahaha!"

Guo Jia laughed out loud.

Wenpin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed mechanically.

Guo Jia sent the news of the surrender of Zhang Yun, Huang Zhong, and Wenpin back to Luoyang, and then led the army with Le Jin. Along the way, with Huang Zhong and Wenpin as the vanguard, they swept all counties in Nanyang County, but wherever the Wei army came There are no counties in Nanyang County that do not surrender.

As expected of the Emperor Township of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county with the largest population, Nanyang County ranks first in the country both in terms of population and number of counties.

It is a pity that the Yellow Turban, the plague and the war swept through Nanyang County before and after, and it has only gradually recovered its stability in recent years. At this moment, Nanyang County is no longer the Nanyang County in the sixth year of Guanghe.

Of course, for Mr. Guo, none of this is the most important thing. What Mr. Guo needs has never been a static Nanyang County.

Knowing that Nanyang County was occupied and that Zhang Yun, Huang Zhong, and Wenpin had surrendered, Guo Peng was very happy. He appointed Zhang Yun to continue to be the governor of Nanyang County, awarded Huang Zhong and Wenpin the rank of General Zhenyuan, and appointed Huang Zhong as the Nanyang County Garrison Army. Commander, appointed Wenpin as the commander of the Nanjun garrison, and served under Le Jin's command.

Well, Guo has never doubted whether he can win Nanjun.

While Le Jin's main force swept through Nanyang County, Zhu Ling and Xu Huang were also in action.

Zhu Ling was appointed as General Pingnan, the deputy commander of this operation, and led the Shangyong garrison alone to move in the direction of Xiangyang and capture Xiangyang.

Cai Mao, the general guarding Xiangyang, learned of the actions of Zhu Ling's army. He was happy instead of worrying. Like Zhang Yun, he raised the "Wei" flag and warmly welcomed Zhu Ling's arrival.

Zhu Ling looked at the smiling Zhang Yun with some disappointment, feeling depressed in his heart.

Like Le Jin, Zhu Ling also longed for a victory. Although he got the news from Guo Peng and knew that Cai Mao would surrender, he still hoped that there would be some generals in Xiangyang who were unwilling to surrender, causing civil strife in Xiangyang. Fight a battle and get some credit.

As a result, this credit cannot be regarded as his at all. It is all the credit of Guo Peng's strategizing. He used his prestige to win thousands of miles away, and the army was secondary.

Zhu Ling was very depressed.

But Cai Mao was also very enthusiastic. He prepared hot meals and dishes for Zhu Ling's army, as well as a lot of meat. He respectfully invited Zhu Ling and his subordinate Wei Jun to enjoy them. The excitement of being part of the Great Wei Empire.

Zhu Lingpi responded to Cai Mao with a non-smiling smile, placed the army outside the city, and entered the city with his personal guards.

Chapter 801 Kuai Yue really worked very hard

After Zhu Ling entered the city, he faced a lot of social activities.

Under Cai Mao's introduction, Zhu Ling met bureaucrats and powerful representatives in Xiangyang City, received their warm hospitality, and received a lot of rare gifts and ten beauties from Jingzhou.

These people learned that Zhu Ling was General Pingnan of the Great Wei Empire, the deputy commander of this military operation, and before he could explain the meaning of General Pingnan under the brand new military system of the Wei Army, he was snatched by these people Hurry up for a while.

After learning that Zhu Ling had a wife, some people even hoped to give their daughter to Zhu Ling as a concubine, hoping to take this opportunity to allow their family to gain a firm foothold in the Wei State system, and in the post-war New Jingzhou gain certain advantages.

The abacus is very loud, but whether it works well or not is still open to question.

Zhu Ling is a clear-headed and humble person. Faced with the crazy pursuit of these people, not only did he not feel joy, but he also felt a little worried.

For those gifts and beauties, he didn't know whether to accept them or not.

From his point of view, Guo Peng didn't like the connection between military generals and localities, so he was worried that Guo Peng would be dissatisfied with him because of this.

Zhu Ling, who was born as a general, cared and cherished Guo Peng's favor very much. He knew that he was no better than those Yuan Cong generals, so he acted in a very humble and low-key manner, never daring to show it off.

In the current situation, it is not that he himself wants to make public, but that some people want to force him to make public.

This will not work.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was safer to fight and make meritorious service, so he simply asked Cai Mao to prepare, mobilized Xiangyang to transport grain and grass for him, and then led the army to continue south.

He first captured Yicheng County, and then went directly south to Bian County. When Le Jin and Guo Jia led the main force to Xiangyang, on the eighth day of June in the first year of Yande, he had already defeated a small number of defenders who were caught off guard, and successfully captured Bian County. county.

Xiangyang went south, and Cai Mao could not control it, so those cities were still garrisoned, some resisted, and some even tried to ask for help.

Although they were terrified of the sudden Wei Jun, they were not completely unresponsive.

After being shocked and puzzled, many people chose to flee south to Jiangling to seek protection.

As for Jiangling right now, because of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's successful blockade, not only did no news from the north come, even Huang Zu's reinforcements were beheaded outside Jiangling City, so there was no news.

Obviously, the Wei army began to invade, but as the capital of Jingzhou, Jiangling did not respond at all.

It is true that the war has not yet spread to Jiangling, and it is also because the Wei army is advancing so fast, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao cooperated so that there are not even refugees, so even the people in Jiangling City have not received any news from the front line.
