Chapter 509 is coming to an end

Everyone said one by one, and there were many different opinions, but there was no final decision.

After all, Tongguan is a world-class pass, easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, Zhang Guowei has more than 100,000 troops hoarded, so it may not be able to get it after a year or two of a strong attack.

They naturally couldn't afford to spend so long. When the heavy rain subsided and the official army returned, the situation would reverse again.

"You must take down Tongguan!" Li Zicheng slapped the chair and shouted.

As everyone listened, they started arguing with each other, just like a big village on the hilltop. A group of bandits were clamoring without any scruples, just rolling up their sleeves and fighting.

"Gao Jie, tell me!" Li Zicheng suddenly said loudly when he saw that Gao Jie had not spoken.

Gao Jie is Li Zicheng's right-hand man, he is good at fighting, brave and resourceful.

Gao Jie was startled and quickly calmed down and said, "King, Tongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to break through Tongguan, there is only one way to lure the official army out of the pass!"

Liu Zongmin immediately sneered and said, "Sexual, if you were an official army, would you come out?"

"Yes, only fools come out of seclusion. Don't you know our army of hundreds of thousands?"

"Unless the Shangshu of the official army is in a bad mind!"

"Do you understand, what are you talking nonsense?"

A group of people immediately refuted and squirted at Gao Jie.

"Shut up! Gao Jie, tell me!" Li Zicheng trusted Gao Jie very much and patted the chair and drank the others back.

Gao Jie had already received a secret report. Looking at Li Zicheng's trusted gaze, he dodged his eyes and said with a thorn in his mouth: "Master, the last general can lead the official army out of the city."

Li Zicheng's eyes were staring like copper bells, and he almost jumped up and said, "Really?"

Gao Jie said: "Really."

Li Yan, Song Xiance and others looked at Gao Jie, believing and skeptical, but didn't say anything. Gao Jie was good at fighting and made many achievements, and it would be fine even if he gave it a try.

Li Zicheng was overjoyed, walked over and patted Gao Jie on the shoulder, and shouted: "Okay, as long as you can lure the official army out of Tongguan, I will have a great reward!"

Gao Jie twitched slightly and responded quietly.

With Gao Jie's words, the big tent was a lot excited and began to discuss other issues.

Gao Jie was restless and anxious. After waiting for a while, he found an excuse to slip into the big tent, walked around, and came to a remote place.

A young woman with a young charming charm is already waiting.

Gao Jie frowned and said with a solemn look on his face: "Don't worry, I've said that this time, they will accept our surrender, and they will no longer have to be so worried!"

"I believe in you!" The young woman responded and hugged Gao Jie.

Li Zicheng's concubine, Xing.

...

Two days later, Gao Jie led his 20,000 troops to the city of Tongguan. Countless soldiers shouted and scolded, and all the scoldings were Chongzhen.

"The emperor's old man has a rich and elegant dress, three palaces and six courtyards, and Tongguan brothers, have you ever had enough?"

"The emperor is sitting in the Forbidden City, your courtyard is leaking..."

"Brothers, the emperor wants you to die. If you die, your wife and children will belong to someone else..."

The soldiers in Tongguan City listened, and their faces looked abnormal.

Zhang Guowei and Qian Kelei looked solemn. Even though they knew that the bandits were provoking the morale of the army, they were helpless.

Before they could come up with a countermeasure, Huang Ancheng went up the city tower, pointed at the bandits, and said in anger: "Shangshu Zhang, Governor Qian, have you heard it? They are insulting the emperor and are lawless. Why don't you send troops to suppress them for our family!"

Zhang Guowei hurriedly said, "Didn't you agree to have three days, there is still one day..."

"What's there still a day!"

Huang Ancheng shouted angrily in a sharp voice, saying, "Send me troops now! If you don't go out, our family will capture you now and hand over the military power to others!"

This is what Zhang Guowei is most afraid of. If the military power is in the hands of Huang Ancheng, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhang Guowei was helpless and had to say, "Governor Qian, prepare for it, and send troops in one hour."

Qian Kelei was startled and said, "Sir, do you really want to send troops?"

They are now short of food and clothing, are tired of morale, the roads are muddy, the rain is not stopping, and they can't see clearly even if they are a little far away, especially the bandits on the opposite side, who know almost nothing. If they leave the city, wouldn't they fall into the trap?

Zhang Guowei looked at Huang Ancheng again, who looked like he would never give up until he sent troops, and said indifferently: "Send troops!"

Qian Kelei hesitated, but had to obey the order and immediately turned around to rectify the army and prepare to mobilize troops.

Huang Ancheng hummed with satisfaction, and still stood at the top of the city, staring at Zhang Guowei so that he would not make any tricks.

Qian Kelei mobilized the army and dashed until evening.

Huang An was so angry that he jumped up and cursed him endlessly, but the late night could not force Zhang Guowei to leave the city, threatening to arrest him if Zhang Guowei did not leave the city tomorrow.

Zhang Guowei and Qian Kelei sat in the room, both of them were frowning and thinking hard about countermeasures.

The thieves outside seemed to be no longer scary, but the inner prisoner in Tongguan City was the most trouble for them.

Qian Kelei looked at Zhang Guowei and said carefully: "Sir, I have already ordered Zuo Liangyu to go west, Bai Guangen, Chen Yongfu, Qin Yiming and others to get close to each other, and maybe they can fight."

Zhang Guowei was also a soldier who had led the army and shook his head and said, "It's raining heavily now and the river water is soaring. They can't catch up. We have to face the thieves alone."

Qian Kelei knew the risk of leaving the city and said more and more uneasy: "Sir, is there no other way?"

Zhang Guowei said: "If you hand over the military power to Huang Ancheng, you should know the consequences."

Huang Ancheng is just an internal surveillance. If he gets military power, it will be in vain!

Qian Kelei stopped talking silently, and his heart became even more worried and uneasy.

The next morning, Zhang Guowei ordered the generals of the army. Looking at the rain that had stopped in the sky, he sighed in his heart, "God doesn't help him."

Outside the city, Li Zicheng and others were still waiting for Gao Jie to lure the official army out of the city. Although it was only one day, many people were already impatient and attacked Gao Jie many times.

Li Zicheng seemed to gradually tend to attack, but Song Xiancai and Li Yan comforted and persuaded him, and temporarily suppressed the opposition.

Gao Jie stood in front of the military formation, looking at Tongguan City from afar, with an extremely solemn expression.

A guard next to him stepped forward and whispered: "Don't worry sir."

Gao Jie's face moved. This person was not his, but from a place called the 'Military Information Office'.

Not long after he got along with Xing, he was threatened with this secret. It has been many years since he was not far away.

‘It’s over.’

Gao Jie said in his heart heavily.

He was threatened and controlled by others and wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape. He was worried all day long and kept his eyes open when he was sleeping. If Li Zicheng discovered him, he would definitely be dismantled!

"I've left the city and the government army has left the city!" The soldiers in front suddenly shouted.

Gao Jie also saw it soon, and his heart was shocked and said calmly: "Retreat."

Gao Jie's army retreated quickly, and not long after, Li Zicheng's army retreated.

Zhang Guowei is not a reckless person. More than 100,000 official troops are not that easy to fight. Li Zicheng clearly lured the enemy into the deep.

Zhang Guowei had no other way, so he marched carefully, and took every step forward, and kept biting Li Zicheng to Ruzhou.

The agreed Bai Guangen, Chen Yongfu, Zuo Liangyu and others did not come as scheduled.
