This time the Liang people moved very quickly. There was no sign of weakness as Jia Xu and Duan Xuan said, nor did they have the elite troops to go ahead as originally planned. On June 14, Jia Xu arrived in Wan County and met with Li Jue and Guo.
During the Si talks, Li Jue and Guo Si agreed with Jia Xu that the army should march westward as quickly as possible. As a result, on June 17, all the Liang people in Guandong were assembled.
There's just one problem. After half a year of going on the expedition, the arrows Liang Ren carried were almost used up, and many of his swords were lost. If he wanted to use this to enter the battle, he might not be able to do it.
But Jia Xu quickly solved this problem. This time he rushed south from Hongnong, carrying more than 10,000 people, and climbed out of the Xiong'er Mountain. After joining the main force of the Liang people in Deng County, he arrived directly with one unit
In the north of Xiangyang City, Yaowu Sheshu threatened Liu Biao in an attempt to force Liu Biao to open a warehouse and negotiate peace. Jia Xu claimed in the book that they were willing to sell Nanyang to Liu Biao, but they needed Liu Biao's support of 150,000 arrows and more than 30,000 weapons.
Handle, 50,000 hu of food, otherwise, now that their way back is cut off, they have no home, and many people are waiting to die, so they will definitely make a desperate move, even if corpses fill the river, they will definitely make more than 70,000 people under their command fight to death in Jingzhou
.
Liu Biao was frightened after hearing this. In the past few months, Huang Zu was still stationed in Deng County, but the Liang people had the advantage. After several attacks and defenses, both the Deng County defenders and the reinforcements in Xianshan suffered heavy losses. After a day of consideration,
, Liu Biao finally agreed to Liang Ren’s request.
Next, the Liang people retreated fifty miles and returned Shandu, Zhuyang, and Yin County to Liu Biao first to show the sincerity of the Liang people. The two sides traded supplies in Shunyang. Liu Biao provided one hundred thousand ordinary arrows and one armor-piercing arrow.
Ten thousand sticks, five thousand knife handles, ten thousand poles, forty thousand bushes of rice, three thousand horses, two hundred boats, and one hundred craftsmen. The Liang people were very happy to see it, especially the rice from Jingzhou, which came with a
The scent of clear water made it very popular among the soldiers. Even if there were insufficient numbers, they didn't care. Instead, they hurriedly left behind the looted goods, gathered all the pack horses together, and gathered all the pack horses.
These military supplies and supplies are packed to the brim.
At this time, Jia Xu encouraged the soldiers in the army: "Although the world is big, there are few places to stay. Looking at the universe, only Longban is our home. In the past, we followed the Grand Master out of our homes and conquered all directions. Now we are unexpectedly
How absurd it is to live in a place without size! If you go to Xijing, you will be rich all over the world, but you will die at home!"
The Liang people's soldiers had been fighting for a long time and were quite tired, but after hearing Jia Xu's words, they all cheered up and sang "Longtou Flowing Water Song" loudly. They also thought in their hearts: No matter how successful or failed the world is, I must die at home.
!
On June 22nd, Liu Biao sent supplies, and on the 23rd, the Liang people left Shunyang and headed straight for Wuguan along the Danshui River. Along the way, Li Jue and Guo Si were convinced by Jia Xu and asked for advice.
He said: "Wuguan is difficult to attack, what should we do?"
Jia Xu obviously understood this, and he quickly replied: "It's just to make money."
At this time, Wuguan was guarded by Yang Ru, the captain of Wuguan. He was originally stationed here by Dong Zhuo, but he was not from Liang, but a Langguan who was conquered by Gai Xun in Jingzhao during his lifetime. After Dong Zhuo died, he saw the third assistant.
The color of the city has changed, and the city has been destroyed. You should immediately report to the court to express your submission.
Although Wang Yun hated him working for Dong Zhuo, he also knew that the location of Wuguan was crucial. Now that Hangu Pass was occupied by Guan Yu, the Liang people knew its danger and did not dare to attack. In this way, the only way for the Liang people to connect with the inside and outside was
On the way to Wuguan, Yang Ru surrendered, which could cut the Liang people into two groups, so that the people inside and outside the pass could not communicate with each other, and the court's confidence in quelling the chaos would be greatly increased. Therefore, although he did not say a word to Xu Rongniufu and other troops in Guanzhong who asked for advice, he only
He accepted Yang Cheng alone and sent 3,000 additional soldiers to him. In addition to the original 3,000 soldiers, there were 6,000 defenders in Wuguan.
When sending reinforcements, Wang Yun also sent an envoy to promise Yang Ru that as long as he defended Wuguan, he would not only be forgiven of his sins, but would also be granted the title of a thousand households and become a minister. Yang Ru was overjoyed and immediately promised the envoy that no matter how Li Li
How about Jue Guo Si's offensive? Wuguan can be defended for at least a year.
He was not boasting about Haikou, because Wuguan was conquered by Guan Yu the year before, Dong Zhuo was still worried, so he appointed Yang Ru as the captain of Wuguan, and spent a lot of money to order him to rebuild Wuguan. After one year of construction, Wuguan city wall was thick.
Three feet, three feet high. The city gates are all made of pear wood and connected with iron pins. A moat with a depth of two feet was also dug in front of Wuguan. The specifications are directly comparable to those of Luoyang and Chang'an. In addition, the city has sufficient materials, and Yang Ru
The so-called words that can be kept for a period of time are definitely not just words.
Therefore, Yang Ru had no worries. While sending scouts to inquire about the news in Guandong, he indulged in sexual activities in Guancheng. The people in Shangluo were in despair, so he found five beautiful concubines from Jingzhao and had fun day and night.
At noon that day, the weather was hot, and he was still drinking. Suddenly he felt interested, so he took off his shirt, revealing his strong arms, took off his wooden clogs, went barefoot, picked up a knife, and walked to the center of the banquet.
, ordered four beautiful concubines to play the harp and flute, one beautiful concubine slowly sang a ballad, and he himself danced in the banquet in time with the chopping knife.
The concubine sang: "Fighting and drinking for entertainment, talking about thick and thin. Driving and riding horses, playing Wan and Luo." Her singing voice was melodious, but the melody was crisp. Yang Ru was very happy to hear it, and danced until his bun fell apart.
.
At this time, a man quickly walked upstairs to the door, knocked on the door frame a few times, and waited until the music in the room stopped. Then he walked to the door respectfully and asked Yang Ru for instructions: "Captain, please investigate."
Several uncles from the enemy's situation came back and said they had something to report to the captain."
His interest was cut off, but Yang Ru was calm. He put on his robe again, stepped out of the room, and asked, "Is there any news about Li Jue and Guo Si?"
"Yes."
Yang Ru then asked them to wait in the hall. He put on a bright yellow rhinoceros armor and a jade sword gifted by Wang Yun to show that he was highly valued by the court. When the returning scouts saw this, they all saluted respectfully.
, when he returned to the chair, the leading scout came forward to report the situation and told him two pieces of news.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
First of all, the army of Liang people is marching towards Wuguan. Seeing that their vanguard has arrived in Danshui County, there are about ten thousand people, and they are all cavalry. It seems that the Liang people of Guandong have come out in full force and are making a desperate move. It is expected that they will be able to
Under the enemy's approach to the city.
Yang Ru was greatly worried when he heard this. He originally thought that Li Jue and Guo Si had occupied the two counties, but now he was thinking about his life and was trying to do it. Unexpectedly, he was now desperate to save his life. Even if the Wuguan was strong, it would be difficult to withstand ten times the enemy.
!Thinking of this, Yang Ru's intention to stick to it wavered.
At this time, the scouts told him another news. While they were spying, they encountered a group of Liang people who came to surrender. There were about thirty people. This group of Liang people said that they did not want to die with the masses and wanted to join Yang Ru's command. The scouts
Unable to make up their minds, they took them to rest before closing the door and asked Yang Ru to make a decision.
Hearing that a Liang man came to surrender, Yang Ru was extremely happy. He said to his subordinates: "Li Jue and Guo Si are determined to fight to the death. But now there is no battle yet, but there are already separated people under his subordinates. This is a sign of unsettled people. I have been there before."
What we were afraid of, now it seems that we are 80% sure of guarding the gate."
After saying that, he immediately led the crowd out of the city to greet these Liang people in person.
The city gate opened, and Yang Ru rode out slowly on a yellow gelding. In order to show his power, he still carried a bow on his back despite the hot weather. There was a quiver wrapped in peach bark tied to the saddle, and deer hoof leather boots were mounted on the stirrups.
Up. This group of Liang people were not far from the city gate at this time, eating dry food and chatting. When they saw Yang Ru coming, they all knew that he was a big shot, so they formed a formation, saluted to Yang Ru and said, "See you."
More than an adult!"
Yang Ru saw that each of them was carrying a horse, and they all had strong looks. Even standing next to the horses, they looked very powerful. Yang Ru felt inferior and became wary. He rode on the horse, holding a whip and asked: "
Which one are you from?"
One of them stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I am Yang Mi, who was originally a military commander under General Guo Lang. Now Guo Si wants to rebel, and I want to lead everyone to surrender. May I ask, are you the captain of Wuguan?"
Seeing his thorough etiquette, Yang Ru nodded secretly and asked: "I am Yang Ru! Let me ask you, do you know the truth and falsehood of Li Guo in the east?"
Yang Mi replied: "Li Guo and Li Guo were frightened when they heard that Situ was in trouble anyway. They did not follow the advice of the soldiers and returned westward to Longban. However, their subordinates were exhausted from fighting in Nanyang for a long time. At this time, there was another war, and many were dissatisfied. At this time,
Although we have mobilized 60,000 people, from what I can see below, we are really incompetent. To save our lives, I hope you will take them in!"
Yang Ru was very happy when he heard what he wanted, but when he saw the dust of these people, he had another concern in his heart: Wang Situ hates Liang people now, and it is well known that if he takes them in, will he make him unhappy?
Is there a gap in your heart? Since you know that Liang people are just superficial, there seems to be no need to take them in, and don't add obstacles to your career.
So he pretended to ask: "Are there many people like you in the army?"
"There are many others like me, but time is tight, so I only brought here people I can trust."
Yang Ru looked like he was thinking, and after a while he said: "Now that you join our army, you can only be a duke, which is a pity. Otherwise, you can go back to the army first, and then convince some people. Anyway, wait until you
When he returned to the front of the city, he suddenly rebelled. I went out to meet him again. By then I would have defeated the rebels, and the imperial court would definitely give him a big reward."
Yang Mi looked embarrassed and obviously reluctant, but Yang Ru didn't care about his feelings at all and shouted loudly: "If you want to gain wealth, how can you waste your life?"
Yang Mi looked around at the soldiers behind him. They looked at the open city gate, winked at him, and nodded. Only then did Yang Mi calm down. He turned back to Yang Ru and said, "Since it's your command, I won't do it."
I dare not do it, but I just need a token to convince my colleagues, so I want to borrow something from your lord."
This is what it should be. Yang Ru smiled and said: "What is it?"
Yang Mi took two steps forward, and suddenly his color changed like thunder. A pair of big hands grabbed Yang Ru's right leg and pulled him off the saddle. Yang Ru was unprepared and felt that he was flying in the sky. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, he made a clang.
He fell to the ground and stirred up a cloud of smoke. In the smoke, Yang Ru's body was in severe pain, but his consciousness had not yet returned. Yang Mi drew his sword like lightning and wiped his neck with the blade, causing blood to spurt out.
The surrounding followers were stunned by this scene. Before they could escape back, the thirty or so Liang people mounted their horses and roared towards the city gate, killing all of them. And the city
At the gate, the chief officer was gone. The soldiers guarding the gate were so frightened by the big horse that they quickly fled.
This allowed the Liang people to safely control the city gate. Then, Yang Mi held Yang Ru's head and entered the gate. He held Yang Ru's head high and loudly announced to the confused soldiers around him: "The grand master died unjustly, and we will enter the gate."
Revenge, who is traveling with me!"
Wuguan surrendered.
Li Jue and Guo Si arrived at Wuguan that night. Yang Mi led them to inspect the customs warehouse. In the customs warehouse, there were mountains of rice noodles and arrows piled up. These were the customs defense supplies that Wang Yun had transferred from Xiwu. Li Jue was greatly moved.
, said to Jia Xu on the side: "Wen and wisdom are like gods."
Jia Xu was noncommittal about this. He looked at the north and twirled his beard, obviously thinking about something in his mind. He loosened his fingers, showed a determined smile, and quickly said: "Soldiers are very quick, and we will distribute the supplies. We will continue to march towards
