MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1214 persuasion, centrifugation

  Chapter 1214 Persuading surrender, centrifugation

  Changzi County of Shangdang County, located in the southwest of Shangdang Basin, is one of the main traffic routes from the three rivers in the Central Plains to Bingzhou.

  In the west of Zhangzi County, there is Fajiu Mountain, which is the birthplace of the famous myth and legend "Jingwei reclamation".

   There is Yangtou Mountain in the south of the county, where the ancestor Yandi tasted all kinds of herbs, got Jiahe, and taught the people how to farm.

  Since Danzhu, the eldest son of Emperor Yao, one of the five emperors in ancient times, was granted the county name here, this place has always been the core of the Shangdang Basin.

  After Qin unified the world, he divided the world into thirty-six counties. Shangdang County was one of the thirty-six counties, and the county government was established in the eldest son.

  The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and for nearly four hundred years, the eldest son has always been the county governor of Shangdang County.

   It was not until after Dong Zhuo's rebellion that Shangdang County was moved to Huguan.

  In fact, as the governor of Shangdang County, the eldest son may be better than Huguan.

  Because of its geographical location, the north can control the Shangdang Basin, and the south can affect Gaopingguan, Gaodu County and other places in the south of Shangdang County.

   Unlike Huguan, which is located in the heart of the Shangdang Basin, although it can strengthen the control of the Shangdang Basin.

  But again, there are gains and losses.

  Compared with the eldest son, Huguan, as the county government, has inevitably weakened its control over Gaopingguan and Gaoducheng.

  For four hundred years, he has always been the eldest son of Shangdang County, far stronger than ordinary county towns, and much stronger.

   Wei Yan, who hastily led the army back to the division, wanted to enter the Shangdang Basin. The first and biggest obstacle he encountered was Zhangzi County.

  It is the southern gate of Shangdang Basin.

   Wei Yan was stationed on the official road in Ma, looking at the tall and thick city wall, his face was extremely gloomy.

   There is a faint anxiety in the gloom.

  He raised his binoculars and looked towards the top of the city.

  In the ultra-distance line of sight, Wei Yan saw a familiar figure standing on the head of the eldest son's city, a figure that he could never forget, and thought about day and night.

   "Drive!"

   As soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, Wei Yan's mount neighed and rushed forward.

   "Your Majesty!"

   "General be careful!"

  Seeing Wei Yan suddenly rushing down the eldest son's city with his head sullen, the guards around him were startled.

   He only said that his horse was frightened, and hurriedly rode to follow.

  The Wei army on the city saw a small group of Han troops rushing towards the city, and quickly raised their bows to face the approaching Wei Yan and others.

   "Don't worry, the eldest son city is high and deep, they won't be able to take it down."

  The city in Zhangzi County was built on the edge of the Zhuozhang River, and the Zhuozhang River was used as a moat. It is not an exaggeration to say that the city is high and the pond is deep.

   Guo Xun, who was standing at the top of the city, looked down at the city, with a smile on his face, and told the slightly nervous defenders:

   "Put away the crossbow first, they should be looking for me."

   Sure enough, Wei Yan rushed all the way to the edge of the moat before he managed to rein in the horse's head.

  Because he was extremely angry and his eyes were bloodshot, he didn't care if he could hear him from the top of the city at such a distance, he just shouted with all his strength:

   "Guo Xun, come out!"

  No one responded from the top of the city, but the thick gate made a crackling sound and was opened.

   Several riders walked out of the city gate and came to the edge of the moat, and then stopped.

   "Your Majesty, it's been a long time."

  Standing on the opposite bank, Guo Xun sat on the horse and bowed his hands politely to Wei Yanyao.

  If it was changed to before, Wei Yan would only be happy when he saw the appearance of such a handsome young man—who said that only Feng can make a nobleman work for him?

  But in Wei Yan's view at this time, the more gentle and gentle Guo Xun's words and deeds were, the more it hurt his eyes, until it pierced deep in his heart.

   "Guo Xun!" Wei Yan gritted his teeth, with red eyes, and a ferocious beast that wanted to choose someone to devour, he asked word by word: "Why, what, what!"

  Guo Xun smiled: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

   "Why did you betray me? Why did you betray the big man?"

  If it weren't for the wide moat, according to Wei Yan's temper, Guo Xun would have already drawn his sword and chopped him down.

   It's just the current situation, but Wei Yan can only hold back the anger that is about to explode.

  Because he wanted to ask clearly.

   Unexpectedly, Guo Xun burst out laughing when he heard what Wei Yan said.

   "Is it funny!"

   Wei Yan squeezed the rein of the horse fiercely with one hand, while the other hand on the hilt of the sword was already bruised.

   "Of course it's funny!" Guo Xun wiped away the tears from his laughter, and then he said out of breath, "Your Majesty, I am originally from the Great Wei."

   "So," he laughed again, pointing at himself while laughing, "why do you talk about betrayal?"

   "Your Majesty, I am doing meritorious service for the Great Wei, do you know?"

  Although he was prepared in his heart, when Guo Xun personally admitted that Wei Yan, who was originally full of anger, seemed to have all the blood rushing to his forehead.

   His vision went dark, and his body even shook immediately:

   "So, you are Wei Guoxie, and you have been deceiving me for the past few years?"

   Unexpectedly, Guo Xun shook his head again:

   "Junhou, I didn't lie to you, what I said to you is all true."

   "For example, my own background, I hate Feng Yong, and it's true." Guo Xun patiently explained to Wei Yan, "It's just that I didn't tell you everything."

   As he spoke, Guo Xun raised a finger, "For example, I'm actually a descendant of the Great Wei..."

   This one is fatal enough!

   Wei Yan's face was distorted in pain.

  Guo Xun sighed a little:

   "Originally, my first goal was to get close to Feng Yong, but unfortunately, Feng Yong is really, as the outside world has said, far-sighted and far-sighted, like a ghost king."

   "I don't know if he has done too many bad things, so he is overly suspicious."

   "I don't mean to say that I want to get close to him. I'm afraid that before I can gain his trust, I'm afraid he has already checked out the details."

  Guo Xun looked at Wei Yan with regret:

   "So I have to settle for the next best thing..."

   "Stop talking!"

   Wei Yan roared angrily, pulled out his sword with a "clang", and threw it fiercely at Guo Xun!

   "Die to me!"

  The best sword fell into the river instead of flying over the moat.

  Guo Xun looked at the sword splashing the water, and the regret on his face grew stronger:

   "It's a pity, a pity, if I can get close to Feng Yong, even if I am decapitated, I should be like a prince, strike him with a sword, and die with this thief."

  Wei Yan was panting like a bull, and his gaze was solid. He wished he could pierce Guo Xun.

  Even you, a thief, think that I am not as good as Feng Yong?

Right?

   "Guo Xun, when I capture the eldest son, I will definitely skin you and cramps you to vent my hatred!"

   Wei stretched out his arm, pointed to the opposite bank, and said angrily.

   Unexpectedly, Guo Xun shook his head:

   "Why does Junhou need to say these useless words? Others don't know, so don't I know the details of Junhou's army?"

"What's the meaning?"

   "Your Majesty, I know that there is an engineering battalion in your army, which breaks the city like splitting bamboo." Guo Xun smiled lightly, "But I also know that this engineering battalion is a supply battalion."

   "Your Majesty hastily rushed from Gaodu City, even if he brought the people from the engineering camp, but how to deal with the necessary supplies?"

  Guo Xun pointed to the moat between the two of them again, "Even if the luggage is coming, how long do you think it will take to fill up the moat?"

   "What do you want to say?"

  If he hadn't seen the guards beside Guo Xun, Wei Yan would have asked the guards to hand over the crossbow and shoot the thief Xizuo to death with one arrow.

   "Your Majesty was in the Han Dynasty, and his colleagues avoided him, and he had a bad relationship with Feng Yong. This time he lost the Shangdang, the Marquis, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be?"

   Without waiting for Wei Yan to answer, Guo Xun said again:

   "When the emperor is in the court, no one will speak for you. Frightened by Feng Yong's power, I don't know how many people want to put the emperor to death."

   "Not to mention Feng Yong, he is ruthless..."

  Before he finished speaking, Wei Yan interrupted him.

  But seeing him sneer and said:

   "Do you want to persuade to surrender?"

  Guo Xun didn't hide it, and said calmly: "Of course."

   "Jun Hou has no foothold in the Han Kingdom, even if Mrs. Liu doesn't kill you, don't Jun Hou feel that he still has the face to go back?"

  During the past two years with Wei Yan, Guo Xun, who has always had ulterior motives, has long been familiar with his temper.

   This is also the reason why he has been waiting here for Wei Yan.

  Because Guo Xun knew that with Wei Yan's character, it would be impossible to admit his failure so easily.

  He will definitely do his best to try to save the situation before completely losing hope.

  Guo Xun even suspected that Wei Yan might not turn back even when he was completely desperate.

  Of course, no matter what Wei Yan will do, the Taifu has countermeasures.

   Only relatively speaking, the more unwilling Wei Yan is, the more he wants to turn the situation back, the more beneficial it will be to Wei Yan.

  Guo heard Wei Yanhen's voice:

   "Since our army has an engineering battalion, you should know that the eldest son must not stay there for long. After I break the city and recover the Shangdang, I will return to Chang'an to plead guilty to the emperor."

  Guo Xun felt happy and regretful when he heard Wei Yan's words.

  Happily, Wei Yan acted as expected by the Tutor.

   It's a pity that Wei Yan seems unwilling to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.

  Guo Xun is still making the last effort:

   "Jun Hou, you are considered an old man in the army, can't you still not see the current situation clearly?"

   "As long as the prince is willing to surrender me to the Great Wei, I am willing to hold a banquet and apologize to the prince in public."

   "Feng Yong doesn't have the capacity to tolerate others, but Da Wei has long heard the reputation of being brave and brave, so he is thirsty for talents!"

   "You barker, you still want to persuade me to surrender the thief?" Wei Yan shouted, pointing at Guo Xun and said, "What I want is your dog's life!"

  Guo Xun sighed inwardly when he saw Wei Yan like this, but there was a calm look on his face:

   "My life is originally humble, as long as the prince is willing to surrender me to the Great Wei, so what if I give it to the prince?"

   Wei Yan, who was originally angry, was slightly taken aback when he heard Guo Xun's words, and then sneered:

   "Since you know how humble you are, why do you have the audacity to persuade me to surrender?"

  Guo Xun sighed: "It seems that Junhou really doesn't want to surrender me to the Great Wei?"

   "Just wait until I capture the eldest son to see who wants to surrender!"

   After gritting his teeth, Wei Yan finished this sentence, turned around and left without talking nonsense with Guo Xun.

   Across the moat, watching Wei Yanyuan go away, Guo Xun's expression changed from calm to calm, and at the same time, it was mixed with some unclear and complicated meanings.

  In the end, he also turned his horse's head around and walked towards the eldest son city.

  Back in the army, Wei Yan immediately ordered:

   "Come on!"

   "Your Majesty?"

   "Let Wenshi from the engineering battalion come and see me!"

   "Here!"

   After a while, Wen Shi hurried over:

   "Your Majesty, did you call me for something?"

   Wei Yan immediately asked:

   "How long will it take for the engineering battalion to set up a stone cannon to attack the city?"

  Wen Shi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately replied:

   "Your Majesty, we don't have enough luggage now, so we have to wait for the luggage in the rear..."

  Wei Yan sternly said: "I just ask you when you can build a stone cannon to attack the city!"

  Wen Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It will take five days at the earliest."

   From Gaodu to the eldest son, it is no less than 150 miles, and the luggage will take two days at the fastest to arrive, but within these two days, the engineering battalion can make preparations in advance.

  The remaining three days, although a little rushed, but fortunately, the engineering battalion is different from ordinary military craftsmen, and they rush to work day and night.

  With the help of other craftsmen in the army, as well as the guards led by Wang Han, within three days, several temporary stone cannons were built, and there should be no problem.

  The reason why they are temporary stone cannons is naturally because they are substandard products.

   But so what?

  Anyway, if the standards are strictly followed, even if the Central Guard is here, the engineering battalion will not be able to meet this requirement.

   "Three days!"

   Wei Yan stared at Wen Shi, "I will use three days to remove all obstacles under the eldest son's city."

   "Three days later, your engineering battalion, no matter what, must build stone cannons to cooperate with the army to attack the city!"

  Wen Shi was startled, and quickly said:

   "Your Majesty, five days is already the shortest period we can achieve with our best efforts. Three days, time..."

   "Then deal with it according to military law!" Wei Yan waved his hand, not giving Wen Shi a chance to defend himself, "Hurry up and prepare!"

  Wen Shi opened his mouth, seeing Wei Yan's unquestionable expression, finally he could only sigh: "Here!"

  Back to the engineering camp, Wang Han will come over immediately:

"how?"

  Wen Shi sighed: "General Wang, get ready."

  Wang Han was startled: "What do you mean?"

  Wen Shi looked at Wang Han with a dismal expression, and repeated Wei Yan's instructions.

  Wang Han became angry after hearing this:

   "According to our current situation, the best way is to keep the Gaoping Pass without losing it, and keep the main road from Hedong to Shangdang, waiting for the imperial court's reinforcements."

   "General Zuo Hussar's current actions are completely based on his own emotions. At this time, he still wants our engineering battalion to help him turn things around?"

  Wen Shi smiled wryly: "The lord can't be angry and start the army, and the general can't be angry and go to war. Guo Xun's actions may have touched the scales of the left hussar general."

   "That's why the left hussar general was furious and insisted on capturing the eldest son."

  Wang Han thought for a while, and comforted him:

   "It's okay, there are still three days anyway, let's make preparations first, and if we can do it well, everything will be easy to talk about."

   "If you don't do well, I will accompany you to see General Zuo Hussar..."

   Speaking of this, Wang Han gritted his teeth, "The Engineering Battalion was sent by the Zhongdu Protectorate to help General Zuo Hussars take Gaodu City."

   "It stands to reason that Gaoducheng has been taken down, and the task of the engineering battalion has been completed."

   "At this time we followed, just doing our best, not obeying the restraint of the left hussar general."

   Speaking of this, Wang Han's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously:

   "If he wants to regain control of the engineering battalion, he must obtain the consent of the Zhongdu Protectorate!"

  Wen Shi heard it, and his dejected look also recovered:

   "What General Wang said is true!"

  According to the original plan, after the capture of Gaodu City, the engineering battalion should prepare to return to Chang'an.

  Unexpectedly, the Shangdang situation would change suddenly, Wei Yan led the army back in a hurry, and the engineering battalion was also brought over.

  Wen and Wang didn't think there was anything wrong.

  If Wei Yan hadn't pushed too hard, neither of them would have thought that the task of the engineering battalion would have been completed long ago.

  So whether Wei Yan can still control the engineering battalion now, there is an argument here.

  Wei Yan wants to bypass the Zhongdu Protectorate and march against the engineering battalion. He is really in a hurry.

  PS: Some book friends are still wondering whether Sima Yi will be made dumplings, and post a picture of the Shangdang situation again.

   Be careful, Sima and his son are divided into two groups, from Hanoi to attack Shangdang, both channels are in their hands, how could they be dumped?

   In the worst case, you can run back to Hanoi directly.
