Chapter four hundred and sixty-eight disaster is imminent
The remaining soldiers looked at each other in shock, and no one said anything. Guan Jun smiled lightly and said quietly: "Many people say that the Benming Lang in the Benming Army is a group of demons and beasts who kill without batting an eye, and are cold-blooded and ruthless! Those who say such things
Man, he is destined to become nothing more than a fool on the battlefield, and Ben Ming is a knife, a knife used to harvest these fools!"
After a pause, he raised the corner of his mouth and continued with a deep look: "I am running for my life. It is very simple. I just hope that when I am old and weak, I can point to the map and proudly tell my children and grandchildren that the war here is
, I participated in the war there, I also participated in the war there. Back then, I followed the lord and conquered this huge country together!" xdw8
"A seven-foot man is born in troubled times. He is destined to live and die, and wealth is in the sky. But whether he can do it without regrets depends on himself!" As he spoke, Guan Jun stood up and pointed the horse-killing sword in his hand towards
With a wave of his hand, he let out a dragon roar. He pointed the tip of his sword to the weapon rack aside and said: "If you still want to stay in the Benming Army, pick up your weapons now and fight with me. Life or death depends on destiny."
!”
The scene was completely silent. After a while, a burly soldier strode to the weapons rack, picked up a horse-cutting sword from it, then walked up to Guan Jun, held the horse-cutting sword upside down, and saluted.
Guan Jun looked at this tall, burly and majestic soldier, the smile on his face deepened a bit, and his eyes showed admiration.
Ben Ming will never be frightened by anyone. Even if he knows that he is defeated, even if he knows that he will die, even if the monsters standing in front of him are monsters that mortals cannot defeat, Ben Ming must have the courage to draw his sword and fight. This is the most basic thing for Ben Ming.
of creed.
Guan Jun stood up, also holding the horse-cutting sword upside down, and bowed to the soldier. Then, the two of them took a step back, but the soldier was the first to shout and charge forward with his sword.
He rushed forward quickly and fell down quickly. Guan Jun just slipped and dodged his sharp edge, and at the same time hooked the soldier's ankle with his toes. The latter flew forward and fell far away.
The soldier fell down and lay on the ground, feeling dizzy and dizzy.
Guan Jun stepped forward, slapped the soldier on the back with his sword, and shouted loudly with a sinking face: "Stand up! Is this all you have? With only this ability, why should you join the Benming Army?"
The soldier's eyes widened and he roared angrily. He grabbed his horse-killing sword, got up from the ground, turned around, and attacked Guan Jun again. This time, the two of them exchanged moves, but the soldier wanted to continue attacking.
He was kicked to the ground again by Guan Jun.
"Stand up and carry on!"
"Ah" this soldier was also angry, roared, got up and charged forward again.
He rushed up once and was knocked down by Guan Jun once. He rushed up again and was knocked down again, and so on until he was exhausted and couldn't get up anymore.
Guan Jun was very satisfied with his performance. He walked up to the soldier who was paralyzed on the ground and stretched out his hand. The soldier was stunned for a moment, then held Guan Jun's hand. The latter lifted it up and pulled the soldier from the ground.
He got up and said: "My martial arts skills are a bit poor, and my fighting experience is a bit less, but it doesn't matter. If my martial arts skills are poor, I can hone it. If I have less experience, I can also accumulate it. As long as I have the ambition to fight to the end and never admit defeat, I am qualified to join."
Run for your life!”
When the burly soldier heard this, he was surprised and happy. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down, stepped in and saluted, and said: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Guan Jun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Get up, brother!" As he spoke, he looked at the other soldiers and asked: "Is there another one?"
This time, as soon as he finished speaking, people were already rushing towards the weapons rack, some holding swords and some holding knives.
Liu Xiu, who was standing not far away and watching, nodded repeatedly and asked Deng Yu, "Do you know who this person is?"
Deng Yu said with a smile: "This man's name is Guan Jung and Guan Su Tong. He served as a captain in the Benming Army. He is highly skilled in martial arts. Compared with Jia Jun, he is no less generous! By the way, my lord, Wang Xi was beheaded by the captain Guan."
Killed!"
Liu Xiu exclaimed in sudden realization. No wonder this man was so skilled! He said: "Guan Jun is really good. He is only serving as a captain in the army, which is too unqualified. He can be promoted to a partial general and a deputy general of the Benming Army!"
Deng Yu didn't say anything. He raised his hands and said, "My lord is wise and has a keen eye to recognize talents!" Deng Yu had a very good impression of Guan Jun. This man did not join the army for fame and fortune, but a man with real ambition and great ambitions.
.
He walked out from behind the tent and greeted Guan Jun, who was competing with the soldiers: "Guan Xiaowei!"
Hearing the call, Guan Jun made a feint, jumped out of the circle, waved his hand to the soldiers competing with him, then put his horse and sword behind his back, raised his eyes and left in search of fame.
When he saw that the person summoning him was Deng Yu, he straightened his face, hurriedly sheathed his sword, walked forward quickly, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "Guan Jun has met General Deng!"
All the soldiers present also ran over, bowed their hands and saluted, and said in unison: "I pay my respects to General Deng!"
Deng Yu waved to everyone to signal them to excuse themselves. Then, he smiled at Guan Jun and said, "Guan Xiaowei, look who is here!" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Xiu.
Everyone followed his line of sight and saw that Liu Xiu was also there. They were all shocked. Then, they knelt down together and said, "Lord!"
"Everyone, get up!" Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to help Guan Jun up.
Deng Yu said cheerfully: "Guan Xiaowei, no, we should call him General Guan now! In today's battle, General Guan made great contributions to killing Wang Xi. The lord has decided to promote General Guan to the rank of partial general!"
In the military, it is very difficult to be promoted after becoming a captain, unless you have a good relationship with the general above.
Guan Jun was already very satisfied that he could become a captain. Unexpectedly, his lord wanted to promote him to a partial general.
You must know that Zhu, Ma Wu, Feng Yi and other old subordinates of the lord are now just partial generals. Wu Han, Geng and others who led the Yuyang Army and Shanggu Army to surrender and made many military exploits are also partial generals.
Seeing him standing there blankly without responding for a long time, Deng Yu smiled leisurely and said: "General Guan, why don't you thank me quickly?!"
Guan Jun came back to his senses, knelt down quickly, kowtowed forward, and said: "My lord, how virtuous and capable this subordinate is, but he was promoted to a partial general. I hope my lord will take back his life!"
Liu Xiu smiled, pulled Guan Jun up again, and said meaningfully: "Jia Jun is known for his recklessness in fighting, but I think Guan Jun has a stable temperament and a deep chest, which can make up for Jia Jun's shortcomings. In the future, in the army,
Guan Jun should help Jia Jun more!"
Guan Jun shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I will remember your lord's teachings!" The lord actually called him Guan Jun, which made Guan Jun feel flattered.
Liu Xiu looked at him with a smile, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "I feel more at ease now that Generals Jia Jun and Guan Jun are here at Benming!"
"My lord, I have betrayed my subordinates, and I am ashamed of myself!" Guan Jun hurriedly bowed and said.
Liu Xiu nodded to him with a smile and said: "Okay, General Guan, go and get busy! Now the Benming Army only has a few hundred soldiers, which is not enough. I hope General Guan can expand the number of Benming Army to about a thousand as soon as possible.
, of course, I want not only quantity, but also excellence. The Ben Ming of the new recruits cannot be too different from the current Ben Ming."
Guan Jun said seriously: "I will remember your Lord's instructions!"
Liu Xiu said nothing more and waved to Guan Jun. The latter stepped in and bowed deeply, then walked back quickly with a group of soldiers who wanted to join the Benming Army.
Because Liu Xiu did not leave, these soldiers also wanted to show off in front of their lord. When competing with Guan Jun, each one of them exerted even more strength.
However, Guan Jun was always at ease, beating the soldiers who were competing with him to the ground one after another.
Liu Xiu and Deng Yu stopped and watched for a while before returning to the Chinese army's tent.
After sitting down, Deng Yu said cheerfully: "Today, Li Yu's army has been wiped out. Wang Lang's power and vitality have been greatly damaged. Now there is only an isolated city in Handan, which is already in our army's pocket."
"Don't forget, there are those Xie Shangshu!"
"My lord, are you worried that he will steal the credit?"
"I can give him all the credit, but there is only one thing. Our army must occupy the prince's palace first!" Liu Xiu said seriously.
From the grain and grass that Wang Lang hoarded, it can be judged that Wang Lang made a lot of money in Hebei. In the Handan palace, there is all Wang Lang's belongings. How much money is that?
In the final analysis, war is all about money. Recruiting troops, raising food and fodder, and expanding strength all require money. If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but without money, it is difficult to move forward. On the road to hegemony, this sentence is also applicable.
Now Liu Xiu had soldiers and generals, but what he lacked most was money. If he could take all the money that Wang Lang had collected for himself, that would solve his big problem.
Deng Yu was so smart that he knew everything. After listening to Liu Xiu's words, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's right! The Handan Palace must not be given to Xie Gongjun. Our army must be in front of them and hold firmly."
Take control!"
At this time, Long Yuan suddenly said: "Master, since Xie Gong is such a hindrance, why don't we find an opportunity to get rid of him?"
Liu Xiu asked: "How to get rid of it?"
"My subordinates thought they could assassinate me secretly!"
Liu Xiu rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Long Yuan said seriously: "If my subordinates do it, I can be 60 to 70% sure."
Liu Xiu thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and objected: "No, it's too risky!"
Go deep into Xie Gong's army camp and assassinate Xie Gong. Even if the operation is successful, it is almost impossible to kill Xie Gong and escape unscathed. This is the last resort, and there is no need for our side to take this risk now.
The next day, Liu Xiujun made a tentative feint attack on Handan.
When attacking the city, arrows rained down from the top of the city, and rolling wood and rocks, as if they were free of charge, fell like snow flakes from the top of the city. Seeing that the defenders resisted fiercely, Liu Xiu did not insist on attacking the city anymore and ordered the gold medal.
withdraw troops.
Two days later, Liu Xiujun launched another attack on Handan City, but this time the siege consisted of archers standing outside the city and shooting arrows.
Almost every arrow that was shot into the city had a strip of cloth tied to it, which was taken out and unfolded. On the strip of cloth it was written: Anyone who can take off the head of the prince will be forgiven and will be rewarded to ten thousand marquises.
Liu Xiu still used the psychological attack tactic to divide Wang Lang's forces from within.
Li Yu and Zhang Shen's entire army was wiped out, and his son Wang Xi was killed. These successive blows almost made Wang Lang's spirit collapse.
Now, Liu Xiujun shot so many arrows with bewitching banners into the city. Wang Lang became more and more nervous. No matter who he looked at, he felt that the other party was plotting against him. Even Liu Lin, whom he trusted most,
Liu Jie, he started to be wary.
Liu Lin and Liu Jie naturally sensed Wang Lang's abnormality, and now they both had a premonition that if they continued to follow Wang Lang, they would be in trouble.
