Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 992: Local Snake

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the place where the stars fell must have been captured by the Han army.

Of course Sima Huan had never heard of this rumor, but when he was in the mountain pass, he was indeed frightened by this inexplicable star drop.

At that time, two star pendants appeared at the mouth of the river valley, and he was almost cut off from his retreat.

Now another star is falling.

And it is exactly the same as the two at the mouth of the valley.

He scrambled to his feet and ran to the place where the soldiers he had brought back without looking back.

The cavalry who ran back from the mountain pass had not yet rested, and their morale was low, so at this time, only a few hundred local county soldiers were guarding the gates.

There are only a hundred people assigned to each city gate.

It is no problem to maintain order at the city gate on weekdays, even if you follow behind to cheer and cheer.

But it would be too embarrassing for them to have hundreds of people against the black army outside the city that could not be seen at a glance.

They were still able to close the gate of the city at this time, and they did not flee immediately, so they already had great courage.

Just when Jinyang City was frightened into chaos by the army outside the city, a group of rangers quietly gathered on the street near the North Gate.

But when the star pendant appeared, someone suddenly shouted: "Fight against Wei and Han!"

This slogan is like the horn of charge.

These rangers immediately drew out their swords and shouted: "Fight against Wei and Han!"

The county soldiers at the north gate were still looking up at the star pendant that appeared above them, when they saw a group of people holding swords and rushing towards the north gate.

These county soldiers also said that the Han army outside the city had already entered the city from somewhere, and some people turned around and wanted to escape.

However, among the county soldiers, some old soldiers who had retreated from the front of the formation quickly stopped them and said loudly:

"Don't run away, these are just some rascals, if you want to take advantage of the chaos and rob, don't be afraid!"

"Raise the gun, raise the gun!"

"Practice as usual, hurry up!"

After a while of panic, in such a situation where people's hearts were fluctuating, the old soldier was able to organize thirty or forty people and form a sparse formation to meet the enemy.

After all, it is not a regular army. It is rare to have such a reaction when the army is overwhelming and people's hearts are fluctuating.

Someone not far away saw this scene and couldn't help muttering: "It's really troublesome, if it's really a plan, it's better to change quickly."

"hurry up!"

"Enough!"

Two short spears made in Hanyang, one with the tip removed, and then butted against the lower end of the other, formed a prohibited long spear.

Shaking, the shaking is a bit loud, and it is estimated that it will not be too strong, and it is definitely incomparable with a real spear.

It's almost enough to deal with the county soldiers.

"Walk!"

"Han Long, the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou Army of the Han Dynasty, is here, and the thief will die!"

With a loud shout, a dozen people suddenly rushed out from Xieli, all of them armed with long guns, arranged in a small charge formation, and killed Han Long from the side with Han Long as an arrow.

Those rangers who were holding swords rushed once with blood and courage, but they were led by the old soldiers to stab them randomly with spears, and several people fell on the spot.

You Xia'er's courage was immediately vented, and he retreated. Someone was encouraging the crowd loudly, so they were not allowed to disperse.

However, the ranger rushed out without counting. Although he was anticlimactic, he managed to attract all the attention of the county soldiers.

The county soldiers never thought that the real killer was the side.

The dozen or so people under Han Long's command, not to mention being incomparable to knight-errants, were even more tightly organized than the sparse county soldiers.

Caught off guard, the county soldiers killed several people at once, and several people fell to the ground and groaned.

Changing the regular army, this situation is trivial, and the rear team will make up for it immediately.

It's just that these county soldiers have no major problems dealing with those unorganized rangers.

Now being rushed out of the gap, and seeing blood on his side, he suddenly became timid.

A guard guarding Han Long stabbed him too hard, and the pieced spear in his hand broke with a "click".

He yelled unluckily, and took a step back, his teammates quickly filled the gap, and he took the opportunity to pick up a long gun from the dead county soldier on the ground.

This kind of cooperation, compared with Jinyang County soldiers, makes a difference.

The small group battle at the gate of the city was just suitable for a master like Han Long to play.

He rushed left and right with a gun, and few county soldiers could stop him.

Seeing that the chaos was getting bigger and bigger, the old soldier who led the county soldiers didn't care about the ranger in front of him, so he hurried over to stop Han Long.

How can he stop Han Long and a dozen elite soldiers by himself?

Only by relying on his rich experience on the battlefield, he narrowly escaped Han Long's stabbing spear, and three more long spears pierced several parts of his body.

The armor on the old soldier's body was already in tatters, and many places were patched up with leather armor.

Blocked two shots, but couldn't block the third shot.

"puff!"

Blood gushes like a fountain.

Han Long made another shot in the gap between lightning and flint.

The old pawn made two "uh uh" and was picked to death on the spot.

Without the leader, the rest of the county soldiers lost their courage, and whoever took the lead shouted and fled away one after another.

Jinyang North Gate changed hands!

"Open the city gate, hurry up!"

Seeing that the county soldiers were killed and scattered, the rangers regained their courage, and hurriedly stepped forward to help turn the winch.

The door gate made a tooth-piercing "click, click" sound, and was gradually lifted.

There is no Wengcheng at the North Gate. After all, for more than two hundred years, even dangerous passes like the Yanmen Fortress have not received much attention. Who would have thought that the enemy would come from the north?

Liu Hun, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, raised his spear and shouted, "Kill!"

Can't wait to lead the people through the city gate and into the city.

It's only a hundred feet into the city, but seeing a Wei army ushering in at the end of the street, who is Sima Huan who happened to gather the remnants of the army?

Sima Huan ran all the way back to Jinyang, and he still hadn't had time to catch his breath.

Not to mention the soldiers below, not only scattered, but also extremely low in morale.

In a hurry, he could barely gather hundreds of people, and rushed to the north gate.

Unexpectedly, before he arrived, there was a dense sound of horseshoes on the other side of the street.

Looking up, the cavalry of the Han army were already galloping in Jinyang city.

"Kill the thief!"

Although it is on the street, Jinyang is the largest city in Bingzhou, and the street is wide enough.

What's more, Sima Huan led a group of remnants of defeated generals in a hurry, and there was no formation at all.

When Liu Hun saw the scattered Wei army, he bent down slightly, and the long horses hung down. Instead of slowing down, the horses' hoofbeats became more rapid.

The red iron cavalry swept through the Wei army in a short time.

In the fuss, Sima Huan only saw Ma Yang's head flashing coldly across somewhere, and then a smear of blood red floated up.

Sima Huan's last thought was: It would be better to fight Yamaguchi to the death!

It's just that he didn't consider that the Xiongnu would rebel, and he didn't even have the chance to formally face-to-face with the Shu captives at the mountain pass.

Five thousand soldiers were chased all the way, and less than two thousand fled back to Jinyang. As a result, Jinyang City, which had no soldiers to defend, was easily captured by the Shu captives...

It can be said that this battle was simply inexplicably violent.

Sima Huan was not the only one who died violently. When the governor Bigui learned that the Han army had broken into the city, he laughed miserably and immediately killed himself in the governor's mansion.

The county soldiers in Jinyang City were not afraid, but the Wei army who had fled back was utterly discouraged. The Han army who entered the city had almost no decent resistance and took control of the largest city in Bingzhou.

"Da da da……"

General Guan riding a tall horse, escorted by his personal guards, passed through the gate and entered the city.

The ranger, who had been guarding the city gate and did not leave, couldn't help a commotion.

General Guan met dozens of blazing gazes, smiled slightly on his incomparably handsome face, suddenly reined in the horse rope, got off his horse, clasped his fists at You Xia and said:

"Guan thanked everyone for their help."

When the rangers saw this handsome general dismounting in person to thank him, many of them showed flattered expressions and returned the salute one after another, saying in one go:

"Although we are reckless, we also know a little bit of righteousness. Fighting against Wei and Han is where righteousness lies!"

"I don't know much about the truth. I only know that Feng Meng mainly revives the big man, so just follow Feng Meng."

"That's right, everyone in the world is contemptuous of chivalrous men, but League Leader Feng not only did not give up, but wrote a majestic essay to rectify our names, this life will be handed over to the leader, so what's the matter?"

...

General Guan's eyes widened when he heard these knight-errants kept saying "Leader Feng". He subconsciously looked at Han Long who was mixed in the crowd.

Han Long coughed, stood up and explained:

"General, we rangers, although we are vulgar, are willing to serve our country. Now that we are all gathered together, we are all comrades."

"So I learned the story from the chivalrous novel and formed a martial arts alliance. Feng Junhou is the guide of the world's knights, so everyone jointly recommended Junhou as the leader of the alliance."

"I dare not expect extravagantly to be able to assist Emperor Gaozu to make a great cause like the heroes of the rivers and lakes in "The Story of Purple Dian Qingshuang."

"I just want to be able to do my part for the country and the people under the command of the monarch."

When General Guan heard this, his face and eyes were extremely strange.

At the beginning, she also thought that the story in "The Story of Purple Electricity and Green Frost" was true, but her own brother, Lang, always firmly denied it.

Over the years, she has accepted the setting that those chivalrous novels are all fiction.

Who would have thought that Han Long would do this to her again now.

This made her suddenly start to doubt again: Is the story in the novel true?

If it is true what A Lang said, those are all fake, then why A Lang has been trying to use You Xiaer to do things?

From the initial Battle of Longyou to the current Battle of Guanzhong, You Xiaer has been helping to gather a lot of information...

For a moment, General Guan, who led the army all the way to the south, became a little confused.

But after she glanced at these scattered rangers again, she pondered for a while, and called for a stack of tickets:

"Every hero Gao Yi, Guan admires it. Please accept a little thank you. It is not a reward for your righteous deeds, but League Leader Feng will never let everyone bleed and suffer."

As the leader's wife, General Guan said that she could temporarily represent Leader Feng.

"Everyone take these tickets and go to the Nanxiang Knight's Walk, and you can exchange them for anything you like."

Having said that, General Guan smiled again:

"Of course, if after this battle, Chang'an returns to the big man, then you don't have to travel so far, and you can go to Chang'an to change."

When you Xiaer saw the words "ten bolts of silk", "one catty of brown sugar" and "three catties of wine" in their hands, most of them couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.

In particular, the tickets that General Guan specially ordered to give compensation to those dead rangers, with "Ten Pearls" written on it, made people short of breath.

Even if someone is not fond of money, he sighs in his heart: Leader Feng really despises money and values ​​righteousness!

What they don't know is that Xinghan will trade with the state of Wu in recent years. Except for five baht coins, most of them only accept special products such as pearls, jade, jade, and tortoise shells, and never accept the big spring coins of the state of Wu.

These so-called pearls are nothing rare to the Xinghan Club.

Seeing the expressions of these knight-errants, General Guan knew that his "bought horse bones with thousands of dollars" had been accomplished.

Although I don't know how A Lang plans to use these rangers in the end, this does not prevent her from making a foreshadowing.

At the moment, General Guan said a few more words of comfort to the crowd, and then he headed towards Jinyang's Governor's Mansion.

Bi Gui slayed himself, Sima Huan died on the street again, and most of the officials in the governor's mansion escaped in the chaos.

Don't drive Li Xi is the only one who guarded Bi Gui's body and did not leave the governor's mansion.

After General Guan learned of this, he asked Bi Gui's body to be transported away for burial first, and then asked to bring Li Xi over.

"Li Xi has seen the general."

Li Xun originally behaved calmly, but when he saw that the young general sitting on the main seat was unexpectedly handsome and unparalleled, he couldn't help feeling a little lost, and blurted out and asked:

"Dare to ask the general... but the surname is Feng?"

This kind of appearance, which is rare in the world, is indeed worthy of such a peerless essay full of elegance and immortality.

"My surname is Guan." General Guan showed a smile on his face, "Why would you guess my surname is Feng?"

"It's not Feng Gui...Feng Langjun," Li Xun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and he couldn't believe it, "Watching General Xi use his troops, they are as swift as the wind and aggressive as fire."

"It's so important to use troops. I thought it was rumored that Feng Langjun led the army in person. It turned out that I guessed wrong."

General Guan explained in a rare way: "It's not wrong, I led the army to the south, and it was Feng Junhou who planned it himself."

And it's been planned for years.

She glanced at Li Xun up and down, but seeing that this person did not show any fear, she couldn't help asking curiously:

"I see that in this mansion, everyone flees, but Mr. Li neither flees nor surrenders nor raises his sword to fight. Why?"

Li Xi sighed:

"I am the governor's farewell. I can't find a way for the governor to retreat from the enemy, and I can't prevent the governor from committing suicide. It is a great dereliction of duty."

"If you run away again, what face do you have to face your elders? The only thing you can do right now is to stay at the mansion and beg to see the general."

"Oh?" General Guan was a little surprised and asked, "Please see me? What is it for?"

"I just ask the general to see less slaughter for the sake of the innocence of the people and officials in Jinyang City. If he can, he will be rewarded generously."

As Li Xun said, he kowtowed deeply.

General Guan laughed and said:

"I have tens of thousands of soldiers under my command. I have no opponents all the way down the road. What kind of rewards do you have? How dare you say that in exchange for the importance of Jinyang City?"

Li Xi didn't change his face, and said calmly:

"The general led tens of thousands of soldiers to the south, but he wanted to go to Guanzhong?"

"Exactly."

Now, as long as you are not blind, you can see your purpose, and General Guan will naturally not deny it.

"As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass go first. The general seems to be mighty and invincible, but there is a hidden worry, doesn't the general know?"

"What?"

"Food and grass! Tens of thousands of troops and long-distance expeditions need innumerable food and grass, not to mention that there are many barbarians under the general's command. If the supply is insufficient, it may be difficult to make them devote themselves."

Li Xi looked up at General Guan:

"Bingzhou is cold, and the Xiongnu have been entrenched for many years. Even if the general loots all the way, it is not easy to raise enough food and grass."

"Moreover, the Han army claimed to be the master of the king, and Emperor Zhaolie was known to the world for his benevolence and righteousness. It is easy for generals to plunder now, but it will be difficult to win the hearts of the state in the future!"

"If the general spares the people and officials in Jinyang City, Xi is willing to come forward to raise food and grass for the general, so that the army will have no worries."

General Guan frowned when he heard this, "May I ask where Li Jun is from?"

"I would like to inquire about General Lao, Xi is from Bingzhou Shangdang."

No wonder, it turned out to be a local snake.

While General Guan understood, his heart skipped a beat.

It's not that the so-called looting and losing people's hearts moved her, but this time, the speed of the army going south is as fast as possible.

Going south while looting and collecting food and grass, how could the land snake take the initiative to cooperate quickly?

General Guan narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Why should I trust you?"

Li Xun had already prepared:

"Jinyang City is the state government of Bingzhou. No one can know better than me about its treasury, household registration and atlas."

"To tell you the truth, General, before the governor committed suicide, he sent someone to burn the grain and grass in the treasury. I quietly stopped it. The general can now send someone to take it out, which is considered my sincerity."

"I'm still in the city, so I have a bit of a face. When the time comes, I will discuss with the officials in the city and help raise some food and grass. I will definitely not disappoint the general."

Although it is not very good at fighting, some instincts of aristocratic families are engraved in their bones.

When General Guan heard Li Xi's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
