"General Guo, please!"
"What do you mean?"
Liu Chan untied the rope from Guo Huai and made a gesture of invitation, which made Guo Huai look confused.
"General, you are free!"
Liu Chan said with a smile.
"Freedom?"
Guo Huai was even more confused and thought to himself, Liu Adou, why don't you act according to common sense?
"Yes, you are free," Liu Chan said with great certainty: "General Zhang He is outside the city. General Guo can leave the customs now to see General Zhang."
Liu Chan's words not only made Guo Huai look confused, but also Wei Yan beside him widened his eyes, wondering how could he do this?
Guo Huaike is also one of Cao Wei's very capable generals. It was so difficult to capture him. How can we just let him go? Your Majesty, are you stupid?
"Your Majesty!"
Wei Yan couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly reminded Liu Chan, but Liu Chan still smiled calmly and said: "What I want this time is the two states of Yongliang, not the lives of the soldiers of Cao Wei."
"General Guo, please don't be suspicious," Liu Chan walked up to Guo Huai: "I will send the general out of customs now."
Guo Huai was suddenly stunned.
He originally thought Liu Chan was just fooling him, but now it seems that he is serious.
He really wants to know what kind of medicine is sold in Liu Adou's gourd, because this operation is really weird.
Capture enemy generals.
If you really care about the other person's talent, shouldn't you persuade him to stay and serve you?
As a prisoner, many times, there is no better choice, either to die generously, or to be moved by the other party, and then surrender to the other party.
But what is Liu Chan doing?
"Your Majesty," Guo Huai asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to let the foreign ministers out?"
"Of course!"
"You are not joking," Liu Chan said: "Since I have already said that I will release the general, I will naturally do what I said."
"General Guo, please!"
"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan hurriedly stopped him: "We can't let him go. Guo Huai is the general of Cao Wei. This is the time when the two armies are fighting..."
Liu Chan adopted a clever strategy on Ziwu Road to capture Tongguan in one fell swoop. Before that, he collaborated with him inside and outside to capture Guo Huai.
Wei Yan actually admires Liu Chan.
But now his operation really shocked Wei Yan. This is a war and not a joke.
"General Wei!" Liu Chan turned around and said, "We were lucky to win this battle. If General Guo Huai had known that Tongguan had been captured by my army, do you think you could have defeated General Guo so easily?"
Guo Huai agrees with this sentence.
But Wei Yan didn’t like hearing it.
Guo Huai felt a little regretful.
When he led troops from Chang'an to pursue Wei Yan, he was not sure that Tongguan had been lost, but he could be sure of Wei Yan's purpose.
Wei Yan has only two purposes.
Either Tongguan has been captured by the Han army, and Wei Yan is going to Tongguan to strengthen Tongguan's defense.
Either Tongguan has not been captured yet, and Wei Yan wants to take the opportunity to rob Tongguan.
If it’s the former.
Guo Huaike intercepted and killed Wei Yan on the road, preventing Wei Yan from reaching Tongguan.
But——
If Tongguan has been occupied by the Han army.
Now the Great Wei in Guanzhong does not have many troops, but the cavalry in his hands are very precious.
Although he is capable of defeating Wei Yan.
But killing an enemy by one thousand will result in a loss of eight hundred. This is an eternal truth, not to mention that Wei Yanke is also a general who has experienced hundreds of battles.
If after a fight with Wei Yan, even if Wei Yan is completely wiped out, his cavalry will suffer heavy losses.
Guo Huai's purpose is very simple.
First ensure that Tongguan is open. As long as Tongguan is still in the hands of the Wei Dynasty, let alone Wei Yan, even if Zhuge Liang rushes over, it will be in vain.
So, yesterday evening.
When he saw Wei Yan setting up camp halfway, Guo Huai did not choose to attack Wei Yan. Instead, he chose to take a detour and go to Tongguan first.
However, he was fooled.
When he just led his army into the forbidden ditch, it was already too late. Tongguan had been occupied by the Han army, and Wei Yan was not overtaken by him. In fact, Wei Yan had already reached Tongguan.
Wei Yan disagrees.
Because this is war.
There is no luck in war. As long as the war is won or lost, the winner is the winner. Everything else is nonsense.
Of course Liu Chan also knows.
But he was too lazy to explain to Wei Yan now. At this moment, a soldier hurried in from outside.
"Your Majesty!"
"The five secret doors have been breached by Zhang He."
"Zhang Hezheng led his army towards Tongguan."
As soon as Xiao Bing finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet. The Han generals were a little frightened, including Liu Chan and Wei Yan, who also felt a little nervous.
However, Guo Huai, who had been full of doubts before, was excited and a little annoyed when he heard the news.
The reinforcements they have been waiting for.
Finally here.
However, he became a prisoner.
If he had seen through Wei Yan's trick yesterday and was not fooled by Liu Chan and Wei Yan's ambush today, he would be able to attack with Zhang He and defeat Tongguan in one fell swoop.
What a pity——
It's too late to regret now.
Liu Adou, do you still want to let me out of seclusion?
Guo Huai suddenly looked forward to it.
After the soldier finished his report and had just retreated, Liu Chan broke the awkwardness of the scene. He smiled and said to Guo Huai: "General Guo, please! General Zhang He should be in great need of generals now."
"Your Majesty," Guo Huai suddenly asked: "General Zhang He is our five great generals in the Wei Dynasty. I wonder how your Majesty can stop him?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Liu Chan laughed and said: "It has been several days since Zhang He arrived at Tongguan. Even after repeated attacks, he has not been able to get even half a step closer to Tongguan. If I had not wanted to fight the general today, how could Zhang He have broken through the five secret doors?"
Five secret doors——
As Guo Huai has been stationed in Guanzhong all year round, he naturally knows the topography of Tongguan.
If an ambush is set up at the five secret doors.
It is indeed very difficult to break through.
"Although Zhang He will soon approach Tongguan City," Liu Chan said with a smile, "but if he wants to break through Tongguan, it is absolutely impossible."
"How can we see it?"
Guo Huai was a little reluctant, thinking that although Tongguan was a dangerous pass, it was not impossible to break through it.
Moreover, when Zhang He leads his troops, they will certainly not be too small. With such a huge gap, it will only be a matter of time before Tongguan is captured.
"If the general doesn't believe it, you can go out now to assist Zhang He," Liu Chan said: "The general will naturally know how I blocked you under Tongguan City."
Liu Chan said this, which made Guo Huai immediately unhappy.
Because these words are not very harmful, but they are extremely insulting. According to Liu Chan's meaning, don't talk about Zhang He, even if you, Guo Huai, come out together.
I can also block you!
"Your Majesty!" Guo Huai said suddenly: "Your Majesty, do you dare to gamble with a foreign minister?"
"Oh?" Liu Chan frowned slightly: "What does General Guo want to bet on?"
"Let's bet on Tongguan!" Guo Huai said: "Bet on whether your majesty can defend Tongguan."
Liu Chan became interested when he heard this. He laughed and said, "What kind of gambling method?"
"It's limited to three days," Guo Huai said and held out three fingers: "The foreign minister bets that your majesty can't hold Tongguan for three days."
"If I defend Tongguan, what should I do?"
"If your majesty can defend it for three days," Guo Huai said, "the foreign minister is willing to offer his head."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chan quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't want the general's head. If I win, will the general help me revive the Han Dynasty and pacify the Central Plains?"
