"Wei Xiaokuan is here!! Why don't the guards in the city surrender?!"
When Wei Xiaokuan appeared outside the city of Zhou people on a war horse and wearing light armor, the impact was huge.
But when he saw him appear, the guards in the city seemed to have lost their souls, unable to say a word!!
The Duke of the Great Zhou actually surrendered to the enemy??
How is this possible?
Whether it was the guards or the middle and lower-level officers, they were all confused at this moment.
Looking at the quiet city, Wei Xiaokuan shouted again: "Wang Chang!! I know you are in the city!!"
"The current situation is over, but it's up to the destiny!"
"I am the vanguard, and the king personally leads the army and the queen. If the heavenly soldiers come to the city, I can't save you!!"
The city guard looked at his left and right in a daze, "What should I do about it?"
A general said helplessly: "Even Duke Yun has surrendered, what are we still resisting? I heard that His Majesty has passed away and the Great Zhou has perished. Could it be that he still has to be buried with the Great Zhou together?"
The guards asked someone to open the city gate and go down to surrender in person.
Zu Ban stood not far away, watching Wei Xiaokuan recognize those who surrendered, and chatted enthusiastically.
The Duke of Zhou State was indeed easy to use. Wei Xiaokuan had no weight in the emperor, but he still had some status in the army, especially those who were in the border, who knew him and had an old age.
Wei Xiaokuan persuaded surrender all the way, and many cities really chose to open the door to surrender without resistance.
This would be very different from when the Heavenly King went to the expedition in person. I remember that when the Heavenly King went to the expedition, all the places along the way chose to die rather than surrender, and few people surrendered.
Just as Zu Ban was pondering, Wei Xiaokuan rode a war horse back to him again. Wei Xiaokuan didn't seem to feel much guilt. He didn't feel any of the acts of betraying Zhou State and then taking Han State to persuade Zhou Army to surrender.
shame.
He is a person who must do it if he has determined a direction and will not go back on his word.
Zu Ban admired him and was afraid of him in his heart.
Wei Xiaokuan pointed to the tall and sturdy city in the distance.
"The city has been taken down by me, and the key places in Yanzhou have fallen into our hands. If the ancestor believes me, then you can stay here for the time being, wait for my news, and then send officials from all over the place.
Preparing materials...
Zu Ban laughed, "How can you believe that General Wei is not convinced... It's just that these knights under the Heavenly King Demon are so arrogant, I'm afraid they will offend General Wei."
Wei Xiaokuan disagreed, "I have seen a more arrogant knight than this."
"My grandfather said frankly, should he stay here to do things, or should he continue to move forward with me and do what he does as he walks?"
Zu Ban waved his hand, "General Wei just wants to capture the prefectures and counties along the road. I will stay here and be in charge of everything. General Wei doesn't have to worry about being behind him."
Wei Xiaokuan laughed and led his troops to leave.
Zu Ban left Luochuan Pass with more than a thousand remaining people.
The subordinates beside Zu Ban looked at Wei Xiaokuan leaving and couldn't help asking, "Zu Patriarch, he just surrendered, so he just let him lead his troops out alone. What if he rebels again?"
Zu Ban glanced at him and cursed, "Silly! How could he persuade him to surrender to a state first and then rebel again? Besides, he was all my family's occupants, and he took them to the Zhou Dynasty?"
The subordinate was scolded by Zu Ban and stopped talking.
In the following days, the two began to cooperate to capture the surrounding city levels.
As Wei Xiaokuan said, the defenders from all over the world have lost contact with the temple. Even if they see the person sent by Yuwen Xian and his letters, they cannot be said to have contacted the hall. After all, Yuwen
All Xian could send was a few soldiers, not the court officials they truly recognized.
Moreover, within the Zhou Dynasty, the news of Yuwen Xian's monarchy was rumored, which caused great chaos. Officials in some places did not even dare to let Yuwen Xian's envoy come in.
Wei Xiaokuan relied on his name to set off from Yanzhou, first to Zhongzhou, and then headed westward, persuading surrender along the way. If the other party obeyed, he would take over the city and ask those surrendered officials to escort backwards, so that Zu Ban would
Send someone to take over. If the other party is unwilling to surrender, he will directly attack the city. Without the other party's morale, Wei Xiaokuan can easily seize these cities and then continue to rush.
Zu Ban's work was also carried out quite smoothly. The two of them attacked and treated each other, with clear division of labor and proper cooperation.
At this moment, the Zhou people finally took action.
Above the official road, a group of cavalry was running towards Yanzhou.
The person who led the lead was Duke Shu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Yuchi Jiong.
Yuchi Jiong was originally defeated by Gao Changgong in Yanzhou, but was ambushed by Gao Changgong, causing his troops to be defeated. However, Yuwen Xian did not blame him for this, and he also assigned him land to temporarily be responsible for appeaseing the city checkpoints around Chang'an.
When Yuchi Jiong learned that Wei Xiaokuan had surrendered to the Han Dynasty and persuaded him to surrender all the way to the city level, he was furious and immediately led the knights out of the city to fight.
Yuchi Kuan rode a war horse and followed Yuchi Jiong, and the mighty knights followed behind them.
Yuchi Kuan looked at the city where the outlines gradually appeared in the distance and asked loudly: "Grandma!! Wei Xiaokuan is in the west, why are we coming to Yanzhou?"
When the grandfather said he wanted to go out to fight Wei Xiaokuan, Yuchi Kuan advised him several times, trying to persuade him to stop him.
But Yuchi Jiong did not listen to him. After leading his troops out of the city, Yuchi Jiong did not attack Wei Xiaokuan, but instead led his army to Yanzhou directly.
Yuchi did not answer his son, his eyes were just staring at Luochuan Pass in the distance.
The enemy only thought that he had been defeated once, so he dared not move forward again. He would never have thought that he would dare to send troops to attack!
Wei Xiaokuan led his troops to war and persuaded surrender everywhere. He had just surrendered. Even if Liu Taozi trusted him, he would not let him take charge of such a big thing alone. There must be a manager behind him, and Luochuan is undoubtedly the best place.
The enemy's manager is most likely here. If he can attack here and capture the other party's important officials, he may be able to replace several important hostages and destroy Wei Xiaokuan's plan to surrender. Of course, maybe Liu Taozi can also be pissed off his anger on Wei Xiaokuan.
Kill him.:::
Yuchi Jiong had countless thoughts in his mind, and he was getting closer and closer to the level.
At this time, Zu Ban was checking the many documents sent from the front line in the pass, and determined the candidates to be sent to various places.
His office efficiency is extremely exaggerated. He can remember any document once he reads it, and for the appointment of officials,
I can also use it with ease. Not to mention anything else, just this memory is really terrifying.
Just when Zu Ban was busy, a soldier suddenly rushed into the house with fear and fear.
The soldier looked very frightened, "Grandpa!! Not good!"
"There were enemy cavalry found outside the pass! Thousands of people were coming towards us!"
Zu Ban suddenly dropped the pen in his hand and looked up at him.
At the same time, the lobby, which was originally a little noisy, quickly became silent, and the officials were silent, and everyone looked at the soldiers.
Zu Ban looked at everyone with a solemn look.
"Grandpa!"
"Run!"
Some subordinates stood up and said in a hurry.
"run?"
Zu Ban asked back, "Do you think we can run better than the cavalry?"
"Now that you will be dead and have no life.

Zu Ban immediately looked at the soldiers beside him, "You can send someone to ask for help now."
"I'll keep the level...:"
"My grandfather! We have only received more than a thousand soldiers, and they are all new soldiers...::
"No obstacle! You don't have to be afraid. The enemy's empress dowager and queen are all on our side. Even if the level falls and we are captured, they dare not kill us. They still need to replace us. Why fear?!
"
After Zu Ting asked this, everyone immediately became much more calm.
Zu Ban sent someone to ask for help and then began to deploy.
"Tell me my order!!"
"Open the city gates for me!"
"The soldiers guarding the city came down from the city wall and sat inside the city!"
"Peals are not allowed to walk on the road, and chickens and dogs are not allowed to chirp!!"
Zu Ban issued orders one by one, but although everyone could not understand, they still followed his orders.
When Yuchi Jiong led his army to Luochuan Pass, what he saw was a dead level.
Yuchi Kuan looked around blankly, "Grandpa, is this an empty city?"
"Impossible!! How could this be an empty city?!"
Yuchi Jiong frowned and stared at the quiet and almost strange city in front of him. Countless thoughts emerged in his heart.
"Akuan, take the light cavalry around the checkpoint and check in the north and south direction to see if there are any enemy ambushers! If you encounter the enemy's military territory, don't fight and evacuate immediately!"
"only!!"
"The rest of the soldiers, dismount and rest!!"
Yuchi did not dare to attack rashly, so he first sent scouts to reconnaissance around him, and let the cyclists who were rushing all the way to rest and maintain their strength.
After a long time, the level opposite was still extremely quiet.
Yuchi Kuan led the army back to give an announcement.
"Grandma, I checked around me and found no trace of the enemy... It seems that they have indeed escaped, and this place has long been empty."
Yuchi Jiong hesitated for a moment and looked at his left and right.
He selected two powerful generals, "You two, take the cavalry into the south gate and see what's going on inside the city!"
"only!!"
The two of them received the order, but when they looked at the empty city in front of them, they still felt a little scared. They led the knights to quickly approach the city.
Just as they were about to arrive at the North City Gate, a roar suddenly came from the city.
The sound of drums spread everywhere, and the mountains and fields were everywhere.
The two Zhou generals were shocked and turned around and ran away. At this moment, a man suddenly rushed out of the city gate. The man was wearing a mask, riding a tall war horse, and pulling a strong bow.
"Swhoo~~"
With just one arrow, Zhou Jiang, who was leading the charge, was shot directly and dropped off his horse.
"Gao Changgong is here!! Who dares to fight to the death with me?!"
The guy wearing a mask roared.
This Zhou people were beaten by Gao Changgong not long ago to look for their teeth. When they heard this sound, they were so scared that they ran to the camp.
The Han knights covered and killed each other, and the arrows continued to fall, and many casualties were injured. The vanguard army fled in a hurry, but the enemy did not continue to pursue them. They closed the city gate, and the flags kept standing on the city wall, roaring and tsunami.
Yuchi Jiong stood in the distance, checking the enemy's movements.
Yuchi Kuan was so scared that his hands were trembling, "Grandma, Gao Changgong! Gao Changgong is here!!"
"It's not Gao Changgong...: If Gao Changgong had come for us long ago. They were intentionally intimidating, don't be afraid!"
Yuchi comforted him a few words.
But obviously, the soldiers around him didn't believe this very much, and they looked scared.
In the city, Zu Ban took off the mask from his face, and the soldiers threw the cut heads to the ground, making the rustic atmosphere high.
Zu Ban looked at the inspiring new soldiers in front of him and smiled and said, "What are the things that the Zhou people are afraid of? An old Wendi like me, who can even ride out and shoot and kill a general. You
What else to worry about?”
"These people have given us credit, and brought these heads to the city wall and hung them up, and angered them to attack. Your Majesty is not far from us. If we can keep these thieves, will we still be worried about not getting the reward then?"
The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this and said it was.
Zu Ban quickly began to arrange the city defense.
Sure enough, not long after they hung their heads, the enemy launched an attack.
Yuchi Jiong took the lead in the attack, and Zu Ban was still wearing a mask, standing on the city wall, holding a big bow, and shouting to kill the thief.
Under his leadership, the more than a thousand old men were not afraid at all. They pulled their bows and shot arrows, threw down the rolling wood, and resisted with all their strength.
Zu Ban ordered the young and strong people in the city to strengthen the city gate.
After a day of fighting, the Zhou people only left behind the doors all over the ground, but were unable to capture the city.
The next day, Yuchi Jiong's army had just gathered outside the city gate. The city gate suddenly opened wide. Zu Ban rushed out with his cavalry again, and fired his bows left and right. The Zhou vanguard army retreated again.
Eight days later.
Yuchi Jiong looked unwilling and stared at Luochuan Pass, which was still moving in the distance, his hands trembling.
"Grandma!"
"Get away!"
"The enemy's reinforcements are almost here. If we don't evacuate, we will be blocked here... Grandpa!"
Yuchi Kuan held his old father tightly, and Yuchi Jiong was very unwilling to accept it. "We can't even grasp such a good opportunity!! Could it be that we are so incompetent?!"
"To this day, we don't even know who the guard is!!"
"I can only throw so many corpses away, but I can't conquer the city!"
The more Yuchi Jiong spoke, the more excited he became, and his face turned red.
Yuchi Kuan wanted to persuade him, but Yuchi Jiong pushed him away and rushed towards the level surrounded by several personal soldiers. When he was about to enter the range, he stopped and saw him lifting it.
He raised his spear and asked in anger, "Who is the guardian?! Rats! Why not show his true face to others!!"
Hearing his questioning, the masked knight came forward and poked his head out.
The next moment, I saw him take off his mask.
"Yuchi Dog Thieves!!"
"It's your grandfather who guards the city!!"
"You can't even defeat a civilized land like me, and you still want to fight with the generals? Why not surrender early and recognize me as an adoptive father, and I can still forgive your life!!"
"Ancestral...Zu Ban!!"
Yuchi was dizzy and became more and more excited.
Zu Ban continued to curse: "If you have the ability, don't run away! If you run away, you will be my grandson! You thief, you are accustomed to calling yourself a famous general. What contribution do you have to be called a famous general?! You praise your participation all day long
The credit of Shu!! When you entered Shu, did you shoot an arrow?! Standing behind the army and letting the generals fight, this credit is yours?! You gave birth to a good butt and leaned against a woman to take over the bastard.
, Why not continue to attack me?!"
"I'm in the pass today. Let's see how you, a person who cheats the world and steals the reputation, can do to me!"
Zu Ban never stopped his mouth. In front of the two armies, he thought he would have a great argument, but no one expected that this opening was all kinds of swear words, which was unpleasant, and there was no such thing as a master.
appearance.
"Ancestral Thief!! Do you think I will be hit by your provocation?!"
"You wait, sooner or later, I will chop you up and feed it to the dog!!"
Yuchi Jing also cursed a few words back, but obviously he could not scold Zu Ban anymore. He stopped hiding with his people quickly. Shortly after he left, a large number of Han knights rolled up rolling dust and killed him from behind to come to Zu.
Mada hurriedly asked someone to open the North City Gate and rushed out on a horse.
When the cavalry approached, Zu Ban was shocked.
The person who led the team was Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi led the knights to arrive. When he saw Zu Ban riding a horse, Liu Taozi breathed out.
"The ancestor is fine?"
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate!! Chase!! The thief is no longer energetic, the whole army is exhausted, so chase southward!!"
Zu Ban roared.
Liu Taozi looked at her left and right, "Chasing!!"
The knights whizzed by until they all left, and Zu Ban moved his neck. He took off his stomach and threw it on the ground. He asked him to remove his armor and then lay on the ground.
, sleep loudly.
Yuchi Jiong failed to escape here for long, and was caught up by the knights of the Han Dynasty. Yuchi hurriedly formed a formation.
But he could not defeat Liu Taozi. He was defeated by Liu Taozi and his entire army was defeated and fled with only more than a hundred people.
When Yuchi Jiong fled to Yizhou in panic, the city gate was closed.
"Open the door!!Open the door!!"
Yuchi Kuan screamed.
The next moment, I saw a man suddenly appear from the city wall.
"Yuchi Jiong!! Wei Xiaokuan is here, why not surrender early?'
ps: When the state comes, there will be Chen gangs, and the people will rebel. The city gates will not be closed. Those who guard all order down the city to sit quietly, and pedestrians are prohibited from being silenced in the streets and alleys...\n:::.The thief has no experience and sees nothing, and is confused.
The city was gone without any security. Madara suddenly screamed, clamoring for the sky, the thief was shocked and immediately left.
Later, the formation was formed to face the city, and Madara took out his horse and ordered the military officer Wang Junzhi to lead his troops and horses, but he still came to the battle in person. The bandits first heard that they were blind and said that they could not resist. Suddenly, they saw their relatives in the army, with a curved arc and a straight dysfunction.
They were surprised and feared each other and stopped. At that time, Mutiva was very regretful and wanted to make the city fall into thieves. Although they knew it was critical, they did not send rescue. Maki fought and guarded for more than ten days, and the thieves ran away and the city soldiers were safe.
