Outside Huguan City, there has been no movement at all in the Yan Army camp set up by Taishi Ci in the past two days. Not only the Yan army, but also Huguan City is calm. Soldiers from both sides inside and outside Huguan City,
I got enough rest during these two days.
On the third day, 14,000 infantrymen of the Yan army escorted the grain and grass, and the siege equipment arrived outside Huguan City. They joined forces with Taishi Ci, and 17,000 Yan army soldiers swept Huguan City in a mighty manner.
The city is choked with water.
In the Yan Army's camp, Taishi Ci had just come down from the watchtower of the camp and looked into the city. Seeing that the city was calm, he returned to the tent with a little doubt.
In the Chinese army's tent, Li Tie, Bai Yu, Li Yulin and other generals were lined up. When they saw Tai Shici entering the tent, they immediately clasped their fists and said, "I see you, general."
When Taishi Ci saw Bai Yu and Li Yulin here, he walked straight to his seat and said loudly: "Colonel Bai, Captain Li, you have worked hard these days. You have escorted the food, grass, siege equipment and other baggage.
The mules and horses given to you are very limited, so you must have suffered a lot along the way. Since you can still reach Huguan City on time, I really deserve my admiration."
Bai Yu and Li Yulin raised their hands together and said, "General, you've given me the reward. My subordinates just did what they should do."
Taishi Ci glanced at Li Tie and asked, "Is there still no news coming from Huguan City?"
Li Tiedao: "No, general, are those two boys Hou Cheng and Song Xian deliberately stalling for time to give Huguan City a chance to breathe?"
"How can I see it?"
Li Tiedao: "Because the two of them have never made an appointment with our army, how will our army know when they will attack?"
Bai Yu said: "Vice General Li, how can anyone who surrenders to the city have a scheduled date? This kind of thing can only be acted upon and waited for the opportunity. It is impossible to plan in advance."
Taishi Ci smiled and said: "What Bai Xiaowei said is reasonable. However, it is difficult to rule out Hou Cheng. Song Xian is not suspected of this. After all, Chen Gong is very resourceful. If he had not existed, we would have wiped out all the troops in Jizhou."
, why were they allowed to take thousands of people and defeat them back to Huguan, and the casualties of our army would not be so heavy."
"Then what the general means..." Li Tie cupped his hands and said.
Taishi Ci looked around at the generals in the tent and said in unison: "Anyway, all the generals and colleges of our army have arrived. There is no way to delay it any longer. Tonight, our army will officially attack the city. We will first use siege equipment to storm the tower.
If Hou Cheng and Song Xian really intend to surrender, our army will make such a move
Big movements will definitely bring them an opportunity! Lieutenant General Li, Colonel Bai, and Lieutenant Li, the three of you make arrangements carefully. If there is no movement in the city, then storm in. I don't want to fall into Han Meng's hands.
From now on, we must capture Huguan and occupy Shangdang as soon as possible."
"No!" Li Tie, Bai Yu, and Li Yulin all replied in unison.
…
After two days of recuperation, Hou Cheng's injuries gradually improved, and he could at least get out of bed and walk. Song Xian had been by Hou Cheng's side for the past two days. Although the two had different injuries, at least they both had the same problem and had a mutual understanding.
In the past two days, the two men were also very careful. They called several captains under them and asked about the situation. Except for killing one person who was unwilling to surrender, the rest expressed their willingness to fight with them.
Surrender together.
On this day, Hou Cheng's birthday happened to come, so the two of them planned to hold a banquet in the evening to entertain Chen Gong and Sui Gu, and sent someone to send out invitations.
In the official residence, Chen Gong and Sui Gu were sitting together and discussing how to retreat from the enemy. Suddenly, they saw a soldier of Sui Gu walking outside, holding two invitations in his hand. Chen Gong did not wait for the soldier to report.
Asked: "Where did the invitation come from?"
The soldier said: "It was sent by General Hou's soldiers to give to the military advisor and the general."
Chen Gong and Sui Gu each took one and opened it at the same time to take a look.
After a quick glance, Chen Gong frowned and said angrily: "This Hou Cheng refuses to repent. He was beaten with a military stick just a few days ago, and now he is having a big feast again?"
Sui Gu has a burly figure and looks tall and mighty, but his appearance is a bit ugly, which makes people look off-putting. However, he is capable of lifting thousands of kilograms, so he is an out-and-out strongman. He has always been Zhang Yang's personal bodyguard. Only this year
He was then transferred to Huguan as a guard general.
Seeing that Chen Gong was angry, he chuckled, and the flesh on his cheeks squeezed into a ball, making his eyes very small, making him look very ugly. He immediately said: "Military advisor, calm down, this is the year of his birthday."
It’s just this time, ordinary people have it, why do they prefer it?
General Hou can't live well? Besides, today is a happy day, why should the military advisor be angry about it? After all, General Hou is one of the eight strong generals in the lord's account, and is quite prestigious in the army. The military advisor has already punished him in public that day.
Once I see it, there is no need to get angry again."
Listen to others' advice and have a full meal. However, Chen Gong is a stubborn person. He threw away the invitation in his hand and said coldly: "I want you to go, I am too lazy to go!"
After all, Sui Gu was Zhang Yang's personal bodyguard, and had just been sent out as a guard. Although Zhang Yang had a good relationship with Lu Bu, he couldn't compare with Hou Cheng in terms of resume and status. He just laughed twice and asked the invitation
Putting the post in his arms, he said slowly: "If the military advisor doesn't go, there will be a military advisor. Unlike the military advisor, I have to go to the banquet. After all, as a partial general, it is a big deal to be invited by the commander-in-chief.
Save face."
Chen Gong rolled his eyes at Sui Gu and said coldly: "There's no such thing as face, being able to defend Hu Pass is the greatest face!"
Sui Gu chuckled and said: "As the Prime Minister of the country, the military advisor can not buy Hou Cheng's face, but I can't. After all, I am still one level behind the eight-strong general. I am just a strongman."
When Chen Gong saw that Sui Gu was smooth and smooth, that his body was in inverse proportion to his brain, and that his way of thinking was similar to that of Zhang Yang, he stopped talking and just immersed himself in thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy.
Sui Gu clasped his fists and said, "Commander, I'm going to make some preparations. The Yan army has not attacked the city for two days, but I will not let down our guard. Everything is up to the military counselor."
Chen Gong didn't answer. When he heard Sui Gu's footsteps leaving the hall, he glanced sideways at the invitation on the ground and thought to himself: "I beat Hou Cheng, but Hou Cheng didn't hold any grudge. Instead, he took the initiative to hand over the invitation."
Tie, it’s someone’s happy day, why should I smear someone’s brows?”
When he thought of this, Chen Gong stood up, walked to the invitation, bent down to pick it up again, and quietly put it into his arms.
After nightfall, the lights in Huguan City were brightly lit, and the fluorescent light reflected by the torches on the city tower was enough to illuminate the surrounding darkness. The Jin soldiers did not relax at all, but instead strengthened their patrols and defense forces at night.
Chen Gong thought hard in his official residence, but could not come up with any strategy to repel the powerful enemy. He had no other choice but to hold on. It was late at night, and he yawned, with a hint of tiredness, and blew out the office
He put the candle on the table and went out the door.
I looked up at the night sky and saw that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse tonight. I briefly estimated the time. Suddenly I remembered that I was going to Hou Cheng's place for a banquet tonight, so I hurried back to my room, changed into more decent clothes, and held my invitation.
Posted, and then left the official residence.
Huguan City is small, and the distance between the official residence and the military camp where Hou Cheng is located is not too long. Moreover, the city is divided into East Camp and West Camp. The East Camp is occupied by Sui Gu's soldiers and horses, and the West Camp is occupied by Hou Cheng and Song Xian's subordinates. Chen Gong is alone.
After leaving the official residence, he strode towards Xiying.
Chen Gong walked forward. As he walked, he felt that it was getting darker and darker. He looked up and saw dark clouds covering the moon. He thought to himself: "The weather was fine just now, why did it suddenly change?"
When approaching Xiying, Chen Gong saw Suigu's carriage parked there in the distance. He was about to go up to say hello, but suddenly he saw a wave of soldiers led by a general, holding swords and attacking the people next to the carriage.
There was a burst of hacking, and he was startled and almost screamed. There happened to be an alley nearby, so he hurriedly hid there.
There were screams from the gate of Xiying. When the sound stopped, Chen Gong heard a very familiar voice coming from there. He was startled and quickly thought of someone: "Is it Song Xian?"
Chen Gong was not sure about the voice he heard in the chaos, so he took courage and glanced over there, only to see Song Xian wiping the bloody blade in his hand, with a ferocious look on his face.
under the night
It looked very scary. He was frightened at this moment, covering his chest with his beating heart, and thought: "Song Xian is good, he actually killed Sui Gu's subordinates, then Sui Gu must have been killed by him, he
Actually plotting rebellion?"
"Brother Hou, is everything finished inside?"
"Well, it's over. But this kid Sui Gu is very strong. He killed several soldiers. Fortunately, I took action in time and subdued him. I killed him with the last sword, so I gave this kid an advantage."
"Oh, it's a pity that Chen Gong didn't come with him, otherwise, we could have caught them all in one fell swoop..."
Chen Gong leaned against the wall and listened very clearly, as if Hou Cheng and Song Xian were talking next to them. He was completely surprised: "Hou Cheng, Song Xian, are plotting rebellion?"
Before he had time to think about it, Chen Gong secretly glanced at the human head in Hou Cheng's hand. It was Sui Gu's. He immediately made the quickest decision and ran carefully through the alley.
Then we turned to Dongying.
Chen Gong ran very fast. For the first time, he felt that he was running so fast, as if there was some ferocious beast chasing him. As soon as he ran to Dongying, Chen Gong was out of breath and said: "Jin
Soldiers of the country, your general has been killed, and there is a rebellion in the city. Anyone who is bloody will come with me to suppress the rebellion and avenge your general!"
The soldiers in the East Camp were usually Sui Gu's subordinates. As soon as they heard that Sui Gu had died, everyone was filled with indignation. More than 7,000 soldiers resting in the camp picked up their weapons and ran towards the West Camp, with Chen Gong in charge.
