Chapter 374 Recruitment and Convenation
A few days later, the dust outside the city flew and the brocade flags were all over the sky, but Xu Rong and Fan Chou had led the army to the foot of Fufeng City.
"General Guo Yan, Xu Rong and Fan Chou, two ungrateful rats, are willing to lead a man and kill them to comfort the Prime Minister's spirit in heaven." Seeing Xu Rong and Fan Chou coming with troops, Duan Wei stood up and asked Guo Yan for a fight.
"Xu Rong and Fan Chou came from afar. I also want to know how their combat effectiveness is. You can go down and help me test it." Seeing that Duan Wei was eager to fight, Guo Yan nodded and said.
"slow? There is no need to use knives and guns to deal with Xu Rong and Fan Chou. Just when Duan Wen was about to lead the army, Jia Xu next to him smiled mysteriously and stopped Duan Wen's action?
"Xu Rong and Fan Chou betrayed the Prime Minister and recognized the thief as their father. They are deeply guilty. If they don't kill them, it's difficult to understand my hatred. Why should you obstruct them?" Seeing Jia Xu come out to obstruct, Duan simmer said reluctantly.
"General Duan, now the prime minister has returned to heaven. How to take Chang'an is the top priority. It's not too late to report all the kindness and resentment." Seeing that Jia Xu had something to say, Guo Yan made a statement to stop Duan Wei. Guo Yan and Jia Xu have cooperated for many years. They know Jia Xu very well and know that Guo Yan's unique skills will not be aimless, so they made a statement to stop Duan Yan and want to hear what Jia Xu has to say.
"Please listen to me. The Prime Minister is dead, and it is Wang Yun and Ma Teng who killed the Prime Minister. Although Xu Rong and Fan Chou defected to Wang Yun and others, he must have some friendship with us. What's more, the soldiers and horses they brought were the elite around the Prime Minister in those years. We fought with Xu Rongfan to the death, but let Ma Teng pick up a bargain. Why? Don't worry, I, Jia Xu, will definitely let you avenge the Prime Minister. As long as you take Chang'an and take charge of the court, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to avenge? Seeing that everyone was a little excited, Jia Xu comforted him.
After that, Jia Xu walked to Guo Yu's side and whispered softly in Guo Yu's ear, and gradually showed joy on Guo Yan's face.
"Hahaha, sir, this is a great plan. I'll do it now." After listening to Jia Xu's words, Guo Yan laughed, and then saw him say to the lieutenant general behind him, "Li Menghu, take 200 soldiers out of the city with me."
"I didn't expect that Li Wei and Guo Yan came all the way without any precautions." Outside Fufeng City, Xu Rong looked at Fufeng City in front of him and said to Fan Chou beside him.
"Well, Li Yu and Guo Yan sent someone to send the drop meter, and they will intercept us on the road again. Even if they receive the news, now the soldiers have escaped. It's difficult to organize an effective battle. After listening to Xu Rong's words, Fan Chou said without any concern.
"I've also heard about this matter, and I don't understand why Wang Situ didn't agree to let them surrender? As long as Wang Situ orders, we old brothers don't have to fight for life and death. Xu Rong is not willing to fight with his former compatriots. He must have been together for many years and has feelings.
"Well, we are now from the imperial court. Naturally, we can no longer think about the kindness of the past. We can only be our own masters." Speaking of this, Fan Chou also sighed. Although they are unwilling to fight with their former compatriots, they can't decide these things.
"The enemy is out." At this time, the gate of Fufeng City suddenly opened. A group of soldiers filed out of it and saw this scene. Xu Rong and Fan Chou's soldiers and horses were shocked and thought that the battle was about to begin.
"Prepare to fight." Seeing this scene, Fan Chou also grabbed his long knife and ordered the soldiers behind him.
"Wait, it's a little strange. They don't look like they're going to war." At this time, Xu Rong saw the difference, because there were only more than 200 soldiers and horses out of the city. After the more than 200 soldiers and horses, there were several oxcarts. The oxcarts were full of goods. At this time, a familiar figure appeared next to the team. It was Guo Wei. Li Meng and Hu Zhu followed behind Guo Yan, looking at their posture. I don't mean to fight with Xu Rong and Fan Chou.
"What the hell are they doing? Xu Rong, go and have a look. The army is ready for battle. Looking at Guo Yan's performance, it's really strange. Fan Chou is a little uncertain. However, as a soldier, Fan Chou will naturally not relax and vigilant, so he let the army prepare for war, only let Xu Rong go and see the situation.
"General Li Wei is all over the good. What are you doing?" Xu Rong immediately patted forward and asked Guo Yan, who had already rushed here.
"Hahaha, General Xu Rong, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. Now why don't you recognize our old friends after climbing Gao Zhi? A few days ago, I sent someone to send the falling meter to Chang'an. I think there will be your majesty's imperial edict soon, so that we will have a chance to be officials with the same dynasty. Looking at Xu Rong in front of him, Guo Yan looked at Li Meng and Hu Zhi behind him, and then said with a smile.
As soon as Guo Wei said this, he gave Xu Rong a signal that Guo Yu did not know that Wang Yun would not accept their surrender, and thought that the court would not refuse as before. This made Xu Rong a little uneasy. Although it was given to his master, his soldiers and horses had been killed at the door, but they didn't know the reason. This is too boring.
"So that's it. We haven't heard of this matter when we sent troops. I don't think it's been long since General Guo's drop meter was sent out." Just when Xu Rong wanted to tell the truth, Hu Zhi behind him spoke. Anyway, they marched quickly all the way this time without wasted. It seems reasonable to say such a thing.
"Since there is no news so far, it seems that there is still a delay on the road. Since we will be officials of the same dynasty in the future, I have some wine and meat here, so I will give it to my brothers. I just hope that you two will have a chance to say a few words in front of Wang Situ and the general. Let the brothers have a good future. With that, Guo Wei asked the people behind him to send the wine and meat, with the intention of getting married with Xu Rongfan.
"Thank you very much for your goodwill." With that, Fan Chou arched his hand to Guo Yan and said.
"If the imperial edict of Zhao'an has not been issued today, it is not convenient for me to invite you two to go to the city to talk about the past. In this case, please camp outside the city first. When the imperial edict arrives, how about I follow the two generals back to Chang'an to recover?" Seeing that Xu Rong and Fan Chou accepted their own wine and meat, Guo Yan said with a smile.
"General Guo's arrangement is very good, so we will do what the general said." Fan Chou also followed Guo Yan's words.
"Hahaha, the two fools Xu Rong and Fan Chou are really easy to cheat. We will definitely gain a lot when we go to the robbery tonight." After returning from outside the city, Guo Yan laughed and said to the crowd.
"Ha ha, how did General Guo know that the two of them did not deceive the general? Think about it carefully, the general's drop meter has been sent to Chang'an for a long time. Don't Xu Rong and Fan Chou really know now? I think they are deliberately hiding it and want to sneak up on our army when our army is unprepared. After listening to Guo Yan's words, Jia Xu said thoughtfully.
"In my husband's opinion, what should we do?" When Guo Yan heard this, he did not refute it, but continued to ask, with the intention of listening to Jia Xu's arrangement.
"I guess it's good. Fan Chou and Xu Rong have a lot of dreams. They will attack us tonight, but it's also the best time for us to attack them." After saying that, Jia Xu said his plan.
At the same time, Xu Rong and Fan Chou outside Fufeng City have also built a camp and are discussing the next step.
"General Fan Chou, why don't you make it clear to General Guo Wei? We must have done things together now. Even if we are our own masters, we should have a dignified battle. How can we deceive people like this? Vanity obviously doesn't agree with Fan Chou's behavior, but he also knows that Fan Chou's behavior is not wrong. It must be a war.
"General Xu Rong, you still remember the love of those years. Now although you and I still remember the love of those years, I don't know if they will remember us? Don't forget that Li Yu and Guo Yan's ability is all about you and me. I won't lie to them. Can we capture Fufeng with 20,000 people under our men? Although he knows that Fufeng has escaped a lot of soldiers and horses now, after years of cooperation, Fan Chou still knows Li Yu and Guo Yan's ability, so he doesn't have much confidence in capturing Fu Feng. However, Guo Yan's words today made Fan Chou feel that he had the opportunity to take advantage of, so he followed Guo Wei's words, hoping that he could paralyze Guo Wei.
"So the general already has a strategy against the enemy?" After listening to Fan Chou's words, Xu Rong asked with great interest.
"Since Guo Wei is not hostile to us, we happen to go on a sneak attack tonight. As long as we open the gate of Fufeng City, we are not afraid that we can't attack Fufeng City." Fan Chou's face was cold and he said solemnly.
At midnight, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a pair of soldiers in black quietly came to Fufeng City. Under the city, they took out a crossbow from behind and shot at the soldiers who were watching the night at the top of the city.
Only two soft sounds were heard. Two short arrows gently pierced the necks of the two vigil soldiers, and the two soldiers suddenly fell to the side. At this time, I saw these soldiers in black, took out the ropes and threw them over the head of the city, and then quietly entered the city looking forward to the ropes one by one. But after a while, a "squeak" sound was heard. The gate of Fufeng City was opened from the inside, and a soldier in black dodged out and waved to the outside of the gate.
"Hahaha, our people have succeeded. Brothers, come with me." Seeing the soldier in black opening the gate, Fan Chou laughed and rushed to the open gate with the soldiers who had already been ambushed around him.
"Brothers, kill and seize Fufeng City, and you will make great contributions." I saw Fan Chou lead the troops out. Xu Rong also shouted at the soldiers behind him. Take the lead and rush out.
There were shouts for killing for a while, and countless soldiers jumped out of their hiding place and rushed to the open gate.
"Hey hey, these two useless wastes were fooled so easily. Do they really think Fufeng City is so easy to capture?" Looking at Xu Rong and Fan Chou constantly leading troops to rush towards Fufeng City, Li Meng said with a smile to Hu Jun, who was involved in agriculture, in the dark.
"Let them go crazy. When they all enter the city, it's time for us to get out of the station." Hearing Li Meng's words, Hu Zhi said faintly. Obviously, Hu Zhi was used to killing on the battlefield and was not as excited as Li Meng's current situation.
"It's a little strange that I didn't see an enemy coming out to block it." Xu Rong led his troops into Fufeng City. There was indeed no sound in the silence in Fufeng City. This made Xu Rong unconsciously feel a little bad, and only felt a bad feeling covering his whole body.
"That's right. Even if the soldiers and horses in Fufeng County are seriously dispersed, Mr. Ye should have some soldiers and horses. How can they be quiet?" When Xu Rong said this, Fan Chou suddenly stopped to think.
"Do you think it's a trap? Guo Yan didn't give it for nothing." Then Xu Rong smelled the danger. After many years with Guo Wei, Xu Rong and Fan Chou still had some grudges about Guo Wei's ability.
"In that case, let's retreat first." At this time, Fan Chou is also guilty. He must have only 20,000 soldiers and horses. Once he fails, he will have no chance to turn over.
"It's too late to leave at this time." At this time, a sound came from the oblique thorn, and then a torch was lit in the surrounding darkness. Where the torch was illuminated, a figure was staring at him in front of him, but it was Guo Yan who had seen during the day. And the soldiers and horses standing densely beside Guo Yan have shown that they have been unconsciously surrounded by others.
"It's not easy to be tricked. Go back quickly." As soon as he saw Guo Wei, Xu Rong knew that he had been fooled and hurriedly withdrew with the soldiers.
"Damn it, Guo Yan, I'll fight with you." Unlike Xu Rong's retreat, Fan Chou killed Guo Yan with illness. Guo Yan's idea is very simple. Now that he has been ambushed by others, it is not easy to rush out and talk about it. It's better to kill him. As long as he can kill Guo Yan, he will not win later.
"Would you fight with me? That also depends on whether you have this ability. Seeing Fan Chou lead the soldiers to kill, Guo Yan smiled and waved his hand behind him. He saw a team of archers coming out in line.
"Whew, swhew." As soon as the archers appeared, they shot at Fan Chou and others. With the continuous shooting of feather arrows, people around Fan Chou kept falling down.
"General, withdraw quickly. Let's block the enemy for you." I can see that the arrows are powerful. Fan Chou suffered heavy casualties, so a soldier held a shield to help Fan Chou in front of him.
At the same time. The whole Fufeng City boiled like a frying pan, and there were shouts everywhere. At this time, Xu Rong took the soldiers and horses to the gate again.
"Brothers, fight harder. As long as we rush out of this door, we can escape from the ascension. Brothers, go with me." Seeing that he finally arrived in front of the gate, Xu Rong boosted his morale again and attacked the door with his soldiers and horses. As long as he went out of the city, no one could leave him Xu Rong.
"Hahaha, Xu Rong, you are really naive. Do you think Mr. Jia Xu's plan is so easy for you to escape?" At this time, the lights suddenly lit up on the tower, and many enemy soldiers appeared on the tower. A feather arrow had already aimed at Xu Rong and others below, and Duan Wei was standing on the tower and looking at Xu Rong and his soldiers sneering.
"It seems that Xu Rong and Fan Chou can no longer go out of the city. Let's sweep their camp." Hearing the shouts of killing in Fufeng City and seeing the fire in Fufeng City, Li Meng outside the city said to Hu Qian.
Jia Xu arranged the two to be outside Fufeng City. First, it was to block the back road of Xu Rong and Fan Chou. Once Xu Rong and Fan Chou break out of the siege, Hu Yu and Li Meng can just intercept them and completely eliminate Xu Rong and Fan Chou. However, according to the current situation, it is impossible for Xu Rong and Fan Chou to kill out of the city. Li Meng and Hu Qian can finish it. Their second mission was to attack Xu Rong and Fan Chou's camp outside the city. At this time, most of Xu Rong and Fan Chou's soldiers and horses were trapped in Fufeng City. There were no generals in the camp. Li Meng and Hu Yu took the opportunity to take them down, but in this way, they could not show the ability of Hu Yu and Li Meng.
"Whew, swhew." The arrow rain flew, and the two armies fought bloody battles in the streets and alleys in Fufeng. Under the short battle, the two armies had nowhere to hide and could only fight with all their strength. There are fewer and fewer people around Fan Chou. At this time, he can only escape near the gate with the only troops. For the current Fan Chou, he has only hope that Xu Rong has opened the gate and won a glimmer of life for them.
"Brothers, if you want to live, kill me back. As long as we go out of the city, we will have a glimmer of life." Fan Chou roared heartbreakingly to improve the morale of his soldiers. In this situation where the whole army is surrounded, once the will to fight is destroyed, the only thing waiting for them is death.
"General Fan Chou, it's not good. The gate has been occupied by Duan Wei, and we can't rush out at all." At this moment, a soldier rushed to Fan Chou's side and said to Fan Chou.
Hearing the soldier's words, the category only felt that the whole head was about to explode? How could this happen? A few days ago, Dong Zhuo was killed and turned to Wang Yun. He thought he had embarked on the road of light for a day, but he didn't think of it. In a short time, he was defeated by Fufeng City. Is this his fate. Is he destined to die in the hands of his comrades-in-arms for many years?
"General Fan Chou, you and I are all subordinates of the Prime Minister. Why do you have to make a life and death decision here? You surrender." Just when Fan Chou was a little confused, a voice came, but it was Guo Wei's voice. As Guo Si began to persuade him to surrender, the shouts around him gradually calmed down. Guo Wei's soldiers and horses began to retreat, leaving a buffer zone between the two armies.
"I betrayed the Prime Minister and defected to Wang Yun. Don't you want to kill me?" Hearing Guo Yan's words, Fan Chou was really a little moved, but he must have turned to Wang Yun. Guo Yan may not be able to tolerate himself. Fan Chou really had to make these words clear.
"What is General Fan Chou talking about? You and I have known each other for many years. Don't I know what kind of person you are? I understand that if you are not desperate, how can you surrender to Wang Yun? As long as you are willing to surrender to me and avenge the Prime Minister together in the future, the previous things can naturally be written off. Hearing Fan Chou's words, Guo Yan knew that there was a door, so he immediately said to Fan Chou.
