Following Guo Jia's instructions, Caris made contact with Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun on the north bank of the Yellow River as soon as they arrived in Mengjin. The Yan army soldiers waiting quietly on the north bank of the Yellow River also crossed over under the leadership of Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.
He crossed the Yellow River and stationed himself in the city of Mengjin.
As soon as Karis, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun met, they immediately started to make arrangements. Everything was carried out according to Guo Jia's plan, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
Early the next morning, Wen Chou, who had been running continuously all night, arrived outside Mengjin with his exhausted army.
The city gate of Mengjin was closed tightly, and the city wall was also lifeless. The big flag with the word "Jin" drooped in the windless weather and was wrapped around the flagpole, motionless.
"Go and call the door." Wen Chou said to a primary school student next to him.
The principal rode his horse to the bottom of the city wall and shouted from the top of the city wall: "Open the city gate quickly, General Wen is here!"
A face emerged from the tower. It was that of a Huns. There was a long wolf tail hanging on both sides of the helmet, swaying on the chest. It was a typical wolf cavalry dress.
The Huns yawned, glanced at the bottom of the city, and said, "What's the fuss about? Wait, I'll go down and open the door."
When the principal returned to Wen Chou, he said to Wen Chou: "General, why is this city so lifeless? Even the soldiers guarding the city have only seen one person so far..."
"Dad, is there a scam in it? I always feel that there is something wrong with the military advisor's letter? He said that my lord was defeated at Hulao Pass, and Cao Cao was rushing to Henan City with his troops. Logically speaking, we should be allowed to support him. Why?
Let's go to Mengjin Ferry?" Wen Rui rode into Wen Chou and asked.
"The military advisor naturally has a military advisor's reason for doing this. He came all the way from Jizhou and mostly relied on the military advisor's strategies. Although there are often things that people can't understand, there are no mistakes, and the lord also trusts him.
Henan City is strong and there is sufficient food and grass in the city. Even if Cao Cao besieges the city, he will not be able to capture it within three to five months. If the military advisor directly asks us to support Henan City, then I think there is something wrong with him."
"But, dad, Cao Cao defeated my lord. My lord was defending Hulao Pass. How powerful was Cao Cao?" Wen Rui said.
"Cao Cao... is indeed a troublesome person. I made a mistake at the beginning, otherwise I would have helped Yuan Shao get rid of him. How could he still be as powerful as he is now? Alas... I really have poor eyesight. Even Yuan Shao made a mistake.
, and as a result, following Lu Bu, I reached this half-dead state again. Am I destined to be unknown among the princes like this?"
"Dad, you will definitely find a good lord. If Lu Bu fails, you can turn to other people. Marquis of Liang, Ma Teng, Marquis of Chu, Liu Biao, Marquis of Song, Yuan Shu, and Marquis of Wu, Sun Jian. If these characters are supported by dad,
, it will definitely be able to become stronger and stronger.”
"No! These are not truly strong men. The only true strong man is Yan Hou Gao Fei."
"Gaofei? What kind of strong man is he? In the battle in Juluze, weren't you almost killed by Dad and Uncle Yan?"
"You don't understand. Your uncle Yan and I were almost killed by the Yan army. If you hadn't run so fast, you wouldn't have been able to see me. That iron pagoda built by the Yan army is so powerful. Now think about it.
Everyone is afraid."
Wen Rui said: "Dad, we are fighting Yan Jun again this time. Are you afraid?"
"My heart is dead and I am no longer afraid."
"Oh, what if we can't defeat the Yan army this time? Will dad surrender?"
"Surrender?" Wen Chou laughed loudly, "Loyal ministers have nothing to do with the two masters. I followed Yuan Shao first and then surrendered to Lu Bu. I am no longer a loyal minister, but I also understand that death is not terrible. What is terrible is that I am alive.
It would be better to be dead than I am. As the saying goes, there are only three things that can be done. If I switch to others every time I fail, what is the difference between me and a cheap slave?"
"Dad, if you fail, I will die with you."
"No! You can't die. You are the only relative I have now. I will never let you die, nor will I allow you to die."
"But dad..."
"Stop it, the city gate is open, let's enter the city."
As soon as the words fell, Wen Chou immediately rode forward, thinking in his mind: "Rui'er, although you are not a man, you can at least give me a grandson, and you should be considered my grandson..."
The city gate opened wide, and a Huns walked out sleepily. Seeing Wen Chou alone in front of him, he stepped forward and said, "See General Wen."
Wen Chou took a look at the city, but he saw that the city was empty. Not to mention ghosts, there was not a single human figure.
No, there is still one person we can see, and that person is the Huns standing in front of Wen Chou.
Wen Chou asked suspiciously: "Where have all the people gone?"
The Huns said: "We have all gone to guard the ferry. The people here are afraid of being implicated, so they have all fled. I am the only one left in the whole city. General, please enter the city."
"You guard this huge county alone?" Wen Chou looked a little surprised.
"Well, it's just me, and there's no one else, so one person is enough."
Wen Chou stopped talking, moved his spear forward, and said loudly: "Enter the city! Let's rest in the city for today, and then go to Mengjin Ferry tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Chou marched into the city with 15,000 people. The 3,000 people in front were cavalry, and the 12,000 people behind were infantry. However, these infantry were all newly trained soldiers. In addition to being able to shoot arrows,
They didn't know anything, so they only had bows and arrows, and even the armor they wore was uneven.
Wen Chou was the first to enter the city with three thousand cavalry. As soon as he was halfway through the city, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from outside the city. Zhao Yun led the Yan army cavalry to kill directly from the left and right sides, shouting loudly.
The sudden appearance of the Yan Army caused the Jin Army soldiers to panic, and the new recruits were even more frightened. When they saw the Yan Army cavalry galloping over with great momentum, some of them had weak legs and sat on the ground, while others sat down on the ground.
Just walk away.
The Yan army came over with lightning speed, and the city gate suddenly fell into chaos. Before they could make any resistance, they were directly intercepted. A large number of Yan army soldiers also appeared in the distance and blocked the city gate.
An arc was formed to surround the city, surrounding the fifteen thousand Jin soldiers.
Wen Chou and Wen Rui heard the shouting of killing behind them in the city. When they turned around and saw that Zhao Yun had blocked the city gate, they were shocked: "No! We have fallen into a trap. The Yan army has already captured Mengjin City. I am too
You were careless, retreat, retreat quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers of the Yan army appeared on the city wall, holding repeating crossbows in their hands, aiming at Wen Chou and others below the city wall.
"Bang!"
The city gate was closed, and about 1,500 cavalry were locked in the open space between the city gate and the Wengcheng gate. Surrounded by Yan army soldiers, they all looked frightened.
"Wen Chou!"
A powerful roar came from the city wall. Huang Zhong, wearing heavy armor and holding a phoenix-billed knife, stood majestically on the city tower, looking at everything below the city.
"Huang Zhong?" Wen Chou frowned when he saw Huang Zhong showing his head.
"It's me!" Huang Zhong looked around at the frightened soldiers below and said loudly, "Wen Chou, I have been waiting for you for a long time. The Battle of Yecheng made you lucky enough to join Lu Bu. This time you are not so lucky. You have been beaten by me.
The legions are surrounding you, and you cannot escape even if you don’t have wings. I advise you not to struggle in vain, but to ask the soldiers to put down their weapons as soon as possible and surrender to our army!"
Wen Chou turned his head and glanced at the tired soldiers. Everyone had a look of horror on their faces. These old subordinates who followed him from the Zhao army to the Jin army were all close friends of life and death. Although he could not name some of them, they
But they are all familiar, and every face is so vivid.
"They should still have a longer way to go. If they follow me, they will only die..." Wen Chou thought secretly, "Lü Bu is already gone. After so much, I am tired of this life of endless battles..."
Wen Chou finally laid his eyes on Wen Rui's face and continued to think: "What I am most worried about now is Rui'er. She is still young. She will have children in the future and give me a grandson...I am
What's wrong, am I getting old? Why can't I even muster up the fighting spirit..."
"Wen Chou, what are your thoughts?" Huang Zhong did not let the soldiers shoot arrows. Looking at Wen Chou who was thoughtful, he also had some plans in mind.
"Wen Chou is a strong general, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong Lu Bu. If he is willing to surrender, the lord will have a strong general in his army, and he will definitely be able to display his bravery in future competitions." Huang Zhong thought secretly.
Outside the city gate, the noisy sounds have gradually stopped and become very quiet. Wen Chou knew that those soldiers without formal training were like a pile of loose sand. As long as a gust of wind blew over, they could all be blown away. Outside
The person must have surrendered.
Wen Chou closed his eyes, thought secretly for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes looked very gloomy, and said loudly: "You all put down your weapons, all dismount, and the whole army surrenders on the spot!"
"General, fight out, there are still..." a small schoolmaster said.
"It's too late. This is a trap, but I didn't notice it, which hurt everyone. You have followed me for many years and know my temper. I don't want to say it again. For yourselves and for me, the whole army dismounted and abandoned
Arms, surrender on the spot."
"father……"
"Rui'er, you are what dad worries about the most..."
Wen Chou raised his head, looked at Huang Zhong, clasped his fists and said: "General Huang, I know that Marquis Yan is a rare hero in the world, but I can't surrender this time. I have already followed two lords. If I surrender again,
If so, then I, Wen Chou, will become a domestic slave of the third surname. Even if I can be granted a title of marquis in the future, I will be looked down upon by the world. Please tell General Huang to tell the Marquis of Yan that I, Wen Chou, wish him to conquer the world. In addition, I have one more thing
I want to ask General Huang to agree to something."
"What's going on?" Huang Zhong asked.
