Chapter 265 Leaving

"Captain Guo led the army out of the west gate?!" Zheng Ke stared at the soldiers in front of him in disbelief, "What can you say?"

"Reporting the customs order, Captain Guo said that he received the military order from Guo Zhonglang."

Zheng Ke nodded and waved his hand to let the soldiers go down. After being silent for a while, he smiled slightly and said, "Guo Zhonglang's military order? Haha..."

Zheng Kuai stroked his beard, shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he shouted loudly: "Marquis Chen Jun is here to see you."

Guo Pu led the army this time and took away 800 Xiliang cavalry and 600 regular soldiers who were originally stationed here. He also called on 300 auxiliary troops. To be honest, with this force, he could attack a thousand taels.

Thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, if they were to fight head-on, they would simply be crushed...

But...

Zheng Ke sneered twice and sat in the hall, waiting for Chen Junhou who was guarding the east wall.

A cloud came up from the sky at some point, blocking the sun and the light shining into the hall. The entire hall dimmed in the blink of an eye, as if it was painted with a layer of gray.

Chen Junhou came soon. After seeing the ceremony, Zheng Ke asked in a low voice: "Are the things you have prepared...complete?"

Chen Junhou crossed his arms and lowered his voice, saying: "Half of it was transported to the pass the day before yesterday. It happened to be Captain Guo's inspection, so not all of it could be transported to the pass..."

Zheng Ke nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, Captain Guo has left the customs. We'll call in some manpower tonight to transport them all to the customs!"

"Only!" Chen Junhou agreed, and then said: "...but there are quite a lot of them. It may be difficult to store them on the air observation platform, and the rooster crow platform..."

The garrison at the Jiming Platform is led by a team of the Xiliang Army. If you want to move from the watchtower to the interior of the pass, you must pass under the nose of the Jiming Platform.

Zheng Ke pondered for a while and said, "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own arrangements."

Then Zheng Kuai took out five small gold ingots and ten strings of five-baht coins from a box beside him, and pushed them together in front of Chen Junhou, "One person at the watchtower can give a hundred coins, but you must be more strict with your words!"

The rest of you can go and entertain Li Junhou..."

Chen Junhou responded one by one, put the money in his pocket, and left.

Zheng Kuai stroked his beard and sighed inwardly, if it weren't for the fact that there had been no fighting at Hangu Pass for a long time, so some supplies only had the minimum quantity and were not enough to use, otherwise why would he have tried to transport them?

But now that Captain Guo is no longer in the pass, he can be more free. The key is that he still has some soldiers from Xiliang...

By the way, there are also the auxiliary soldiers who are in their 50s and 60s...

Guo Pu sat on the horse. Following the ups and downs of the horse, he shook his head slightly and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more proud he became. If the siege of Xin'an was solved by his own hands, he would have to raise it no matter what. Moreover, Dong Xiangguo

I have never been stingy with my own people. If I could kill a yellow scarf bandit leader in battle, hahaha...

Guo Pu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his success, and then shouted loudly: "My sons! Hurry forward and set up camp twenty miles ahead! After the enemy is defeated tomorrow, for every tithe of a jar of fine wine, a

Just a sheep, enough food to eat! Three days off!"

"Oh oh oh..." Xiliang soldiers suddenly cheered loudly, and immediately clapped their horses and moved forward.

It's just a pain for the infantry at Hangu Pass. They had been following the cavalry for a day, and now they have to move forward. Although the temptation of wine and meat is indeed good, the fatigue on the human body is...

Unable to eliminate it, he agreed sparsely, then gritted his teeth and ran as hard as he could.

Originally, the march was normal, with a mixture of infantry and cavalry. The marching speed was not calculated according to the slowest troop type, which was the speed of the baggage train. However, this time because Hangu Pass is not far from Xin'an, even according to the

Calculating the speed of the baggage train, it would only take three days at most, so Guo Pu did not bring much food and grass. He planned to go directly to the city to eat after breaking the siege of Xin'an, so the marching team was much lighter.

However, it would inevitably be a bit rushed to complete the original three-day journey in two days, and this would increase the physical consumption of the soldiers and horses, which was detrimental to the battle.

But Guo Pu didn't take this to heart at all. In his opinion, the Yellow Turban thieves were just holding sticks and sickles and the like to scare people with the help of large numbers of people. They would collapse with just one fierce attack.

, and if you cut down the generals and seize the flag again, nine times out of ten, they will collapse like an ant nest...

Isn't it just to use up more energy? It's not a big deal!

Guo Pu planned to send someone to have a good contact with his brother after winning the battle...

×××××××××××

At this moment, in Xin'an County, the Xin'an County Magistrate carefully pulled the city wall and looked at the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army camp outside the city. He frowned and looked quite confused...

Really gone?

Could it be that they are preparing to launch a surprise attack while I open the city gate?

But if I really leave and I delay opening the city gate, I will inevitably be ridiculed by others for being timid in the future...

What should we do now?

The Xin'an County Magistrate hesitated again and again, and finally decided to hang a man down first to have a look, so he ordered a soldier to sit in a hanging basket and slowly lower it from the top of the city...

All the eyes of everyone on the city wall of Xin'an County were focused on this soldier. They saw this soldier bending his waist, stopping for a few steps, and slowly approaching the camp where the Yellow Turban Army was stationed...

Getting closer and closer, the lone soldier did not receive any attack, so he gradually became bolder, ran a few steps forward, reached the base of the camp wall, and touched the camp door...

Then I saw the soldier peeking into the camp a few times, and then slowly walked in...

For a moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath and stared with wide eyes.

As if a long, long time had passed, the soldier stumbled out, waving his hands in a panic as he ran, and shouting something...

The magistrate of Xin'an County was shocked. He clung to the city wall tightly and blurted out: "I've fallen into a trap! Hurry, hurry..." Before he could say what he was about to do, the voice of the running lone hero came from far away.

——

"There's no...no one...it's empty...everyone...has run away..."

Well?

There was a burst of joy at the top of the city, and then it quickly spread to the inside of the city. Suddenly, people inside and outside Xin'an were joyfully noisy...

The magistrate of Xin'an County saw that everyone around him was beaming with joy, and no one seemed to have heard what he just said. He coughed, straightened up, put his hands behind his back, hummed twice, and said: "The thief has been repulsed by us!

Send an envoy to report quickly! Open the city gate!"

Liu Bei: "After relaxing the policy, why do many people still have objections to me?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "That's because my lord didn't prescribe the right medicine."

Liu Bei pondered...

Comrade Xiaozhi did not come to work the next day.
