In Nanzheng City, in front of the Hanzhong Prefecture, Gao Fei led Zhao Yun, Bian Xi and the soldiers of the Seven Hundred Feiyu Army into the Prefecture. At this time, Zhang Meng also brought Zhang Ren and others who were released from the dungeon.
Went to occupy the north gate.
In the prefect's mansion, a group of soldiers from the Wei army were patrolling. Gao Fei and others rushed in with an angry look on their faces. A captain stepped forward and asked, "Who is here?"
"Bold!" Gao Fei roared and said angrily.
The captain was startled. He saw that Gao Fei had a very strong aura that was difficult to resist. The armor he wore was also expensive. He thought he was a general, and even thought he was a former soldier sent back by Cao Cao.
He took the initiative to get out of the way and didn't even dare to stop him.
"Where is Xia Houheng?" Gao Fei asked.
"Study..." the captain replied.
Gao Fei said nothing and walked directly towards the study. The Hanzhong Prefecture was very large and covered a wide area, so it was divided into two courtyards, the east and west. Xia Houheng protected the royal family and lived in the east courtyard, so Gao Fei went towards
Go to the east courtyard.
When Gao Fei and others all entered the east courtyard, a soldier hurriedly came over and asked the captain, suspiciously: "Sir, who is that person? I don't think I have seen him before. Why did he let him in like this?"
The captain said: "I have never seen him before, but this man is not angry but powerful. The bold voice just now made me tremble all over. And the armor on his body is very expensive. It is not an ordinary officer. How can he wear it like that?"
Luxurious? Moreover, the soldiers behind him are all strong, with livid faces, and they all have a look of evil spirit on their faces. They are undoubtedly the Tiger Guards beside His Majesty. They may be some general of the Tiger Guards. I block his way. Don’t you want to live?
?”
"Hehe, the Captain still has a sharp vision..."
Here, Gao Fei walked along and asked questions. After asking where the study was, he immediately went to the study.
At this time, Xia Houheng and the prince Cao Pi were studying in the study. Suddenly they heard a burst of footsteps outside.
He was still wearing Wei Jun's clothes, so he asked, "Who are you?"
"Uncle?" Cao Pi squeezed out from the crack in the door, saw Bian Xi behind Gao Fei, and immediately called out.
When Xia Houheng heard Cao Pi's cry, he looked at Bian Xi carefully and was startled. He immediately drew out the sword from his waist. Before the sword was completely unsheathed, Zhao Yun stepped forward with an arrow step and placed the sword directly on Xia Houheng.
on his neck, shouting: "If you move, I'll slit your throat!"
Xia Houheng did not dare to move and threw the weapon on the ground. Instead, he pulled Cao Pi behind him as if to protect him and asked: "Uncle Bian Guo, what are you doing? His Majesty didn't kill you back then.
Are you going to kill your nephew today?"
Bian Xi looked at Cao Pi who stuck his head out from behind Xia Houheng, and felt a sense of shame on his face. He remembered that when he was an undercover agent in Wei State, if he hadn't donated Mrs. Bian to Cao Cao, he wouldn't have prospered.
Although Mrs. Bian was not related by blood to him, she was rescued by him and considered her adopted sister. From then on, they became like brothers and sisters. Now that I see the ten-year-old Cao Pi still calling me uncle, I can't help but feel a trace of family affection in my heart.
Gao Fei saw Bian Xi's thoughts and said to Xia Houheng: "Don't worry, I never destroy other people's families, let alone massacre cities arbitrarily like your Majesty. However, there is always an exception. I need to borrow your money now.
Use something once, and as long as you agree, I promise that I will never embarrass anyone else."
Xia Houheng already knew Gao Fei's identity when he heard Gao Fei use the word "I", but what surprised him was that Gao Fei actually traveled a long distance to Hanzhong, which was really beyond his expectation. He took a look
Cao Pi behind him asked: "What do you want to borrow from me?"
"Haha, it's not suitable for children. Bian Xi, go ahead with your little nephew and take three hundred people to see his mother. If Xia Houheng doesn't agree, you know what to do." Gao Fei said with a smile.
Bian Xi said "Promise", took Cao Pi away from behind Xia Houheng, and left with three hundred people.
When Gao Fei saw Bian Xi and others walking away, he said to Xiahou Heng: "General Xiahou, I know that your father is the divine general Xiahou Miaocai. The Xiahou family is a loyal family, and you also have several young brothers, right?
You don’t want the entire Xiahou family to become extinct, right?
?As long as you do what I say, I promise that no innocent people will be harmed. If General Xiahou is not willing, Bao Buqi will learn from Cao Mengde and massacre the whole city. I still have one hundred thousand troops outside the city. If you don’t believe it
If so, you can try it!”
Xia Houheng was a man who knew current affairs, so he immediately asked: "I promise you, what do you want me to do?"
"Let all the soldiers in the city remove their armor and have the soldiers gather outside the city." Gao Fei led fewer soldiers this time. Fei Yu's army was all elite, and each of them was one against a hundred, but if he could do it without bloodshed, he would not
Bleed, it will be beneficial to both parties.
Xia Houheng said: "Okay, I will do it."
With that said, Xia Houheng did as Gao Fei said, and as a general, ordered all the soldiers in the city to leave the city in civilian clothes and assemble outside the North City.
Therefore, except for the hundreds of Wei soldiers who were captured at the north gate, all the Wei troops in the city gathered outside the north gate.
Gao Fei immediately had the city gate closed, publicly acknowledged his identity as a member of the Chinese Army, and then persuaded the soldiers outside to surrender.
The Wei army was still hesitating, so Gao Fei had people push out Xia Houheng and Wang Lang, forcing them to shout to persuade the soldiers to surrender.
Only half of the Wei army was willing to surrender, and they were immediately put into the city, while the other half was still freezing in the snow outside.
Gao Fei stopped interfering and ordered people to temporarily take Xia Houheng into custody, and Wang Lang surrendered.
The next day, Wu Liden and Dian Wu led the army from Xicheng to Hanzhong as scheduled. However, the soldiers who were freezing outside the city couldn't stand it anymore and expressed their surrender one after another.
So, together with Uliden, Dianwu and other 20,000 troops, they marched into Hanzhong City.
With troops and horses in hand, Gao Fei began to ask Wang Lang to write a proclamation, spread it throughout the cities in Hanzhong, and dispatched soldiers to seize strategic passes. In particular, he sent Zhang Ren and others to lead an infantry of 5,000 horses to occupy Dingjun Mountain, and asked Zhao Yun to lead Wuli to ascend the mountain.
Dian Wu and others five
At the same time, Gao Fei sent a letter to Xu Huang, asking Xu Huang to lead Anita Partridge, Gao Sen and 40,000 troops to Hanzhong, leaving Guo Jia and the remaining Dong
Yi archers guard Qinzhou.
In addition, Gao Fei sent an urgent messenger to Jingzhou, asking General Gan Ning of the Tiger Guard, General Zhang He of the left cavalry, and General Chen Dao of the right to lead an army of 50,000 people on land and water, with Zhuge Liang as the military advisor, and begin to attack the newly destroyed Shu region.
