"General, Nankou urgently reported that the Han cavalry appeared in Jixian, and the exit of Xingdao has blocked the exit of Xingdao!"
General Zhendong arrived at the south entrance of Jundu Xing when the Suntou was just west. The Suntou was only down the mountain. Thirty miles away, Xian Yufu, who was guarding Juyong Pass, received bad news.
"What?"
"impossible!"
It seemed that he could not accept this news. The bamboo slips in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, and it fell to the ground with a "splash" sound, and was scattered by his staggering steps.
"There are at least more than 10,000 defenders in Jixian and Yuyang!"
The roar suddenly changed, and the ending sound actually brought out a womanly sharpness:
"What are they doing? They are all dead? Why did there be no news and let the Shu Lu go around behind Guancheng?"
"How did the Han army come? Did they fly over!"
No one can answer this question.
After Xian Yufu roared these words, he panted as if he was staring at the south side, as if he was nailed to death on the top of the city.
Nearly 10,000 Han cavalry appeared behind Juyong Pass, so it was impossible for them to walk through the dangerous roads in the mountains, because those dangerous roads could not pass through so many cavalry.
The road that can avoid Juyongguan and allow a large number of cavalry to pass, is the most likely one nearest and most likely: Baoqiu Shui.
As for how the Han army crossed the swamp in such a short time, why the Buyao headquarters in the northeast of Youzhou did not promptly warn, and how the Yuyang Gu Pass was broken...
None of these matters anymore.
What’s important is that the Han army’s iron cavalry entered Youzhou, which means that the entire Hebei is no longer as dangerous as the Han army’s cavalry.
Thinking of the Taifu handing over the most important pass in Youzhou to him, the Han army cut off its retreat without knowing it at all.
Xian Yufu felt that all his strength was being pulled away, and he couldn't help but stagger towards the arrow window, and the iron armor hit the serpent and the slug was ashes.
The muffled sound of the iron armor on the left knee hitting the female wall awakened everyone.
The veteran Youzhou actually knelt down at the southwest, and the scales of the armor skirt scratched the wall, making a sound like a ghost grinding his teeth.
When the guards around him were trying to help him touched his trembling shoulder armor. He saw that the old general's pupils were sometimes tightened like needle tips, sometimes scattered like dead fish, and his jaw beard was swaying with the twitching of facial muscles.
Xianyufu turned directly in front of the pass like a puppet, and every word that the mechanical spit seemed to be chewing his throat:
"Guan Suo led the Han cavalry to appear in the southwest of Juyongguan..."
"The Han-Hu coalition forces in front of the pass..."
Halfway through the words, I can't continue.
Now, all abnormalities are perfectly explained.
The Han Dynasty sent troops outside the border in winter. After the Tuoba clan was exterminated, there was no big news outside the border in the months after the Hu people continued to harass the Taihang Shangsanxing.
It was not until a month ago that the Han army appeared outside the pass and suddenly increased its efforts to attack the city.
It turns out that all this was planned.
Xian Yufu's nails penetrated deep into the cracks of the city wall, plowing out five hideous blood trenches, but he felt unscathed.
I don't know what he thought of, but he suddenly laughed, his laughter mixed with phlegm:
"Okay, okay! What a sound like to attack the west... What a Hedong Wing Tiger... Ha... I have become the scraps of this person's chessboard!"
Guan Yihu's way of using troops is like a wolf who is tying his belly:
It seems that the main force is facing each other head-on, but the real killer move has already moved around and tear open the internal organs.
At this time, the last ray of setting sun had completely disappeared into the horizon. Twilight fell, and a few bright star falls rose in the southwest, exploding countless star flowers in the air.
Xian Yufu's face changed again, and his pupils suddenly contracted:
"Beijing...beaconstellation..."
He twitched his lips in vain, but could only spit out the sound of breath, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down, and could not spit out a word afterwards.
Looking at the place where the star falls rise, there are beacon towers that have already descended upon the Han army on the Xing Road.
If the stars fall, there will be Han troops.
Star falls are the unique way of communication for the Han army.
Its first appearance was said to be a battle at Jieting.
But Xian Yufu saw Xingdiao for the first time when he was in the battle in Guanzhong.
That time, his opponent was also Guan Yihu.
That time, after seeing Xingdian, he was also attacked by Guan Yihusheng and forced to cross the river.
After going around, everything is like a nightmare, but it still continues to reincarnate.
After the star fall in the southwest disappeared, after a long time, I saw that the star flowers suddenly scattered in the sky above the north of Guancheng.
"The Han army outside the city has received news..."
Xian Yufu's pupils reflected the star drop that exploded in the night. The military situation in a short period of time made his face become tumultuous, and he could only mutter to him.
Facing this star fall that seemed to be born with a strange phenomenon, at a certain moment, in the dark, he suddenly felt that Liu Han's national fortune seemed to have not been cut off, but was still continuing.
As a witness to the battle in Guanzhong, Xian Yufu knew very well how terrible the Han army's iron cavalry was and how terrible the Hedong Winged Tiger was.
It can be said that the thieves of the Han Dynasty and Feng thieves were the most cunning.
The Han army cavalry led by Hedong Yihu is one of the most terrifying existences in this world.
The food route was cut off by the Han cavalry led by Hedong Yihu...
The fire is flowing in July, and the mountain wind blows at night, which makes it cool, but Xianyufu feels like falling into an ice cave.
"General!"
Seeing the old general rising after the star fall, he seemed to have been exhausted and lost his soul. The personal guards held the old general's arm and dared not let go.
But he couldn't help but increase his tone and wanted to call the old general back to his senses.
Perhaps the personal guard's call had an effect, Xian Yufu's consciousness became a little clearer. As a veteran, he was so energetic that he almost instinctively ordered:
"Send someone to investigate immediately, be sure to check the situation in the south entrance before dawn tomorrow!"
"Here!"
In fact, without waiting for dawn, the beacon towers in the south kept lit up wolf smoke at night, and the fire could be seen clearly more than ten miles away.
Messengers sent to Juyongguan were endless and sent military information overnight.
In the end, even a copy of the Han army's letter of persuasion was delivered to Xian Yufu.
That night, Xian Yufu had no sleepiness at all. He stood on the top of Juyongguan like a sculpture, not knowing what he was thinking.
This is destined to be a sleepless night.
The beacons that ignited into the sky and the endless messengers, even the slow soldiers, felt that things were abnormal.
Uneasiness began to spread throughout the army like a plague.
There is an enemy situation in the north of Juyong Pass, which is not a strange thing.
After all, the Youzhou border has not been stable for many years.
When Tian Yu was still in Youzhou in his early years, Ke Bineng even led his army to surround Macheng for seven days and seven nights.
But as long as you rely on the Yanshan Pass, even if the Hu people outside the Pass could break through the Pass, they would not be able to go deep into the hinterland, let alone stay in Senei for a long time.
But this time it seems different.
The barrier in front of me has not yet been lost, and what if there is a wolf smoke suddenly appearing behind me?
The tense atmosphere in the army made many soldiers and even generals feel a little nervous.
Until the quietest time in the second half of the night, there was a vague singing voice coming from the south:
"The willows in Jimen have broken the intestines of people. The army of the army has been filled with autumn frost for ten years. The mulberry and dry water is long day and night, and it flows to Yuyang as its hometown."
"White dew descends, millet is li, Ji, Ji, Ji, Ji, and Ji are suspected. Dongmen wine and Ximen flag are gone. I don't know where to return after drinking."
"Yang Yanyang, the feathers withered, and the reed leaves are everywhere passing through the dome..."
"The iron-clothed seal and blood letters are blurred, and the words are blurred, not the tears of concubines, but the red ones in the king's bones."
...
At this most sleepy time, at night at the city wall, the Wei soldier, who was already a little drowsy, suddenly woke up.
I thought I was in a dream, and when I listened carefully, I found that although the songs in my ears were not very clear, the familiar tone was constantly lingering.
"This is... this is a song from Yandi..."
The soldiers from Youzhou were surprised and confused, and looked at the south with a steady look.
In the moonlight, the mountains are hidden in the darkness, revealing only the undulating ridges, like lurking giant beasts.
"General..."
The rapid footsteps of the personal guards broke the silence on the city.
"What's the matter?"
Although the general's expression could not be seen clearly in the dark night, the feeling of fatigue could be heard from his tone.
It is obvious that from the appearance of the Han army at Nankou and sending military information at night, the situation behind Juyongguan is deteriorating sharply every moment.
This puts great pressure on Xianyufu.
The tone of the guard was a little hesitant:
"Behind the city, someone is singing..."
"Sing?"
"It's Youzhou accent, singing the songs of our Yandi..."
Qinwei is the person Xianyufu trusted the most, most of whom came from Youzhou, and many of them were even from Yuyang as Xianyufu.
When Xian Yufu heard this, his body, which was already numb enough, suddenly shook!
"Yan Ge?"
“That’s right.”
“What are you singing?”
"Jibei romance, white dew song, clothes and resentment... are all!"
Before Xian Yufu could speak, the deputy general's voice also came with the rapid footsteps, "General, outside the city, someone is singing outside the city..."
"I already know." Xian Yufu interrupted the deputy general's words and said slowly: "This is the Han army's exhausted military strategy, and we want to defeat our morale."
Although his tone was calm, the shadows in the night seemed to be hunched over again.
The sound of singing can only explain one problem, that is, the beacon towers on Xingdao either surrendered to the Han army or were captured by the Han army.
No matter what the situation is, it is probably lost anyway.
The deputy general swallowed and said with some difficulty:
"General, our soldiers, it seems that some people are starting to sing along..."
quiet.
Deadly quiet.
After a long time, Xian Yufu suddenly laughed out loud like a nervous one:
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
"Ho ho...haha..."
"What kind of virtue can you do? You can still get the same treatment as the King of Western Chu..."
Ambushed on all sides and surrounded by enemies.
In the battle at Gaixia, Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide by slaughtering himself in Wujiang.
Although it is not yet time to ambush on ten sides, there are Han troops in front and behind, and there are dangerous mountains on the left and right, which is not much different from ambush on ten sides.
There are more than 30,000 defenders in Juyongguan, more than half of them are children of Youzhou.
Where can I get better than the Chu soldiers after hearing the accent of Youzhou?
I'm afraid it's far.
Guan Yihu, Guan Yihu, you think so much of me and someone else.
I can't wait for a night.
Xian Yufu looked up at the sky, and the Qi star from the East had appeared.
It's almost dawn.
"I have important matters to discuss together all the generals."
When the generals gathered, Xian Yufu, who had not slept all night, sat in the main seat of the military conference hall without hiding his fatigue at all, and briefly explained the situation behind him.
The military information that was transmitted back in the first half of the night was also distributed to everyone for circulation.
Then he asked slightly hoarsely:
"According to what you see, what should we do now? Should we fight, defend, or surrender?"
No one answered.
Although many people already have speculations in their minds, speculation is one thing, and it is another thing to really know.
Even though they were mentally prepared, everyone was still swaying and their faces were pale in the face of cruel facts.
Just as Xian Yu Fuchu got the news, he was even afraid to accept reality in a hurry.
"Are you talking dumb?"
Xian Yufu slapped the table and asked, "The Han army will give a reply before noon. After this time limit, it is difficult for you to surrender if you want to surrender. If you don't want to fight, you have to fight."
Seeing that everyone was speechless, even the main general in the throne seemed to be shrouded in pessimism, Jun Sima couldn't help but stand up and said:
"General, Juyong Pass is a powerful pass in the world. We still have 30,000 people in the pass, and the food and grass are enough to support it for more than a month."
"And the thieves are all cavalrymen, and they are not good at siegeing the city. As long as we just need to stick to it and not go out to fight, the thieves will definitely not be able to break the city."
"After the Taifu learned the news, he would probably send reinforcements soon. At that time, as long as we attacked inside and outside, we might not be able to defeat the Han army."
The Sima of the army was similar to the military supervisor in the army, and was sent by Sima Yi. At this time, he would definitely not advocate surrender.
Xian Yufu looked at Jun Sima without any comment:
"What you say is indeed reasonable, what do others think?"
Although the generals from Youzhou below did not speak, they all showed their eyes tacitly.
Xian Yufu seemed not to notice the actions of those people below, but just looked at Jun Sima and said:
"According to the view of the army Sima, since we must stick to the waiting for assistance, we must work together."
"Now, most of the soldiers in the city come from Youzhou. If you hear that the village falls into the hands of the Han army, your morale will be frustrated."
"Tonight, some people suddenly heard the accent of the town outside the city, and all burst into tears. I am afraid that the army will not have the will to fight at this time, but they don't know how the army Sima should solve this problem?"
Jun Sima replied without hesitation:
"Is military law a decoration? But if you are lazy, you will be killed!"
The Wei State has strict laws and regulations. For ordinary soldiers, those who dare to escape will be implicated, regardless of their parents, wives and children.
As soon as he thought of this, Jun Sima suddenly felt something was wrong.
Hey, the family behind?
Xian Yufu asked again without waiting for him to think about it:
"Which according to what the army Sima saw, if the Grand Tutor sent someone to rescue him, who would defeat the Hedong Wing Tiger?"
The army Sima opened his mouth, but he was speechless for a moment.
If he couldn't answer, Jun Sima couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed:
"The Taifu led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from Hebei. Are you still afraid of those 10,000 people?"
"Ha!" Xian Yufu seemed to be sneering, with contempt in his eyes:
"That's not just ten thousand people, that's ten thousand cavalry! It's the iron cavalry of the Han army! Looking at the entire Hebei, unless the Taifu personally leads the elite troops in Hebei to rescue him, who dares to come and rescue him?"
Guo Huai?
Sun Li?
Niu Jin?
Do you really think it is an exaggeration to fear Shu like a tiger?
Not to mention the tiger on the east wing or the real tiger on the head.
"The Taifu and the elite soldiers are all in Taihang confronting the Feng thief, and they dare not leave. Don't forget that there are more than 100,000 Han troops west of Taihang!"
"So I ask you, where are the reinforcements coming? How come? Who is coming?"
"As long as the Han army blocks for a month, they will eat all the food and grass in the city. What should they eat in the city at that time?"
"Not to mention that Youzhou is now lost and the army has no desire to fight. You can kill one person, can you kill a hundred people? Can you kill a thousand people?"
At this time, the army Sima still understood that Xian Yufu had the will to surrender the thief?
He immediately subconsciously pressed his sword and asked:
"What does the general mean? Can you surrender the enemy?"
Xian Yufu didn't say anything, but just slowly swept over the generals below, especially those from Youzhou.
I don’t know who shouted and rushed directly to the army Sima:
"There is no way to retreat, there is no way to fight, what if you don't surrender? If you want us to die, then I'll send you to death first!"
With Xian Yu Fu's hint, someone started to start. After being stunned, the generals from Youzhou were all drawn and stepped forward.
"Thief, dare to disrespect the old general!"
"It's you who is against it!"
...
Military Sima had no choice but to fight against four fists with both hands, so he blocked the first sword, but could not stop several swords from stabbing from several directions.
Only a few screams were heard, Jun Sima was stabbed to death, and his body was chopped into several pieces. Everyone then gave up.
Regarding the chaos below, Xian Yufu sat there with his head down, motionless, as if he hadn't seen it, and seemed to be asleep again.
After the army Sima died so much that he could no longer die, he ordered his guards to come in and clean up.
Looking at the generals who did not take action, all of them showed fear on their faces, and Xian Yufu also had a look of pain on his face, and hissed:
"I want to surrender to the Han Dynasty not for my own sake, but for the people of Youzhou. Youzhou has been lost, and the children of Youzhou in the city have no desire to fight, let alone the Han army has tempted them with great profits."
"If we do not surrender today, we will not say that we will suppress the hearts of the people in the army in the future. We are afraid that our heads will be cut off and asked for credit from the Han army."
"I am ashamed of the country's kindness and do not want to bear any more defeated colleagues. If there is anyone who does not want to surrender, I will never stop him from leaving quietly before the sky is dawn."
"Those who wish to surrender will go back and clean up, and follow me to Nankou tomorrow."
The song of the four-sided Yan is just the beginning.
If you really don’t surrender, in a few days, the soldiers in the city will be afraid that if you surrender to the Han army, you will not only be able to get 50 acres of land, but also get a tax exemption.
As an old man who followed Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, Xian Yufu knew very well how hard the people in the Great Wei Dynasty had lived over the years.
When morale is sluggish and the army is not in a fight, once the news spreads, it is obvious to the naked eye that the soldiers escape in large numbers.
If you really want to be forced, it is not impossible to mutiny.
Rather than doing this, it is better to just be a little bit better when fighting for the best interests.
After hearing Xian Yufu's words, I didn't know what it felt, but the generals from Youzhou all bowed to Xian Yufu happily:
"What the old general said is very true."
"The old general's move is not for himself, but for the people of Youzhou!"
The Youzhou generals of Cao Wei ranked among the top three, one was Yan Rou, who was dead; the second was Tian Yu, who was excluded from Youzhou and became the prefect of Runan; the third was Xian Yufu.
At the same time, Xian Yufu is also a veteran who has always been in Youzhou and has a considerable prestige among the middle and low-level generals of Youzhou.
But it was precisely because he was from Youzhou that he had lost Youzhou and knew that there was no hope of sticking to it that he decided to surrender after weighing the pros and cons.
In his opinion, the moment the Hedong Yihu led tens of cavalry into Youzhou, the battle in Hebei was over.
Instead of struggling to make the children of Youzhou die in vain, it is better to let Youzhou have less war and more vitality.
Youzhou is a bitter and cold place, and coupled with the harsh government and heavy taxes, the people have lived a hard life for so many years.
Xian Yufu looked at the people below with relief and relaxed expressions, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Forget it, as long as the Hedong Wing Tiger can really keep its promise, what if I am a slave of the three surnames being scolded by the world?"
