Chapter 626
It is said that Zhao Kuangyin went out in person and led [-] troops. With Zhao Pu and Cheng Yu as his military advisers, Hou Junji, Xu Chu, Yuexi, Cao Ning, and Li Dian as generals, he led [-] troops to the Sishui Pass.Keep Zhao Guangyi, Shi Wansui, Yujin stay in Yanzhou, Chen Gong is responsible for transporting grain and grass.

A few days later, the army marched towards Sishui Pass in a mighty manner, where [-] troops were stationed at the pass, with banners covering the sky and the sun.

Sishuiguan is connected to the Yellow River in the north and Songshan Mountain in the south. It is stuck on the road to the west, like a moat, unreachable.

Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers and horses came to the city, and at the same time sent soldiers to build trebuchets. Under the protection of the generals, the siege ladders urged the horses to come to the pass.

"The guard who closed the gate is Xu Huang? Please show up." Zhao Kuangyin urged his horse to come to the city, shouting loudly.

"Xu Huang is here, Zhao Kuangyin, as the governor of Yanzhou and a courtier of the Han Dynasty, how dare you raise troops to invade the country?" Xu Huang shouted at Zhao Kuangyin with one hand on his waist and the other holding his sword.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly and said: "It's good that I'm a courtier of the great man, but I'm loyal to the first emperor Liu Xie. Liu Bian just abolished the emperor and usurped the throne. I'm raising the banner to crusade against the false emperor and help the orthodox!"

"It's ridiculous, the emperor is orthodox, not to mention that Dong Zhuo failed to abolish the emperor, Liu Xie is dead, where is your orthodoxy?" Xu Huang sneered to expose Zhao Kuangyin's nonsense.

"This Xu Huang is talented!" Seeing what Xu Huang said was reasonable, Zhao Kuangyin believed that Xu Huang was not mediocre.

"Xu Huang, we Ming people don't speak dark words. You have defected to Liu Bian for more than ten years, but now you are still the guard of Sishui Gate. He must see that you are the remnant of Baibo and don't want to use it again. Over the years, other generals under Liu Bian have followed suit. Are you willing to stay here at Sishui Pass as a veteran?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Xu Huang and said.

Xu Huang's face darkened, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, you have such great talent, wouldn't it be a pity to guard a Sishui pass? As long as you switch the switch to surrender and let my army enter the pass, I can drive straight in and go straight to Luoyang. At that time, I will definitely use it again." For you, it is much better than staying by Liu Bian's side."

Xu Huang's eyes flashed, and he whispered to the soldiers beside him: "This Zhao Kuangyin wants to trick me into surrendering, so I will trick him into entering the pass. You can ambush the archers on both sides of the city gate and wait for the opportunity to shoot! "

After finishing speaking, Xu Huang looked at Zhao Kuangyin in the city and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I, Xu Huang, have always respected heroes. Back then, the emperor ignored his previous suspicions and I took refuge in him. But I have guarded Sishui enough these years. As long as you can enter the customs in person and show sincerity, it is not impossible for me to surrender to you."

Zhao Pu beside Zhao Kuangyin immediately said in a low voice: "My lord, this Xu Huang is not trustworthy. His tone of voice is that of a loyal person. He must be trying to trick you into entering the customs. Moreover, none of the soldiers around him showed any resentment. It can be seen that Xu Huang is determined." It's falsehood."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, he is not a person who puts himself in a dangerous situation, so he stopped talking nonsense and said coldly to Xu Huang: "Xu Huang, I have given you the opportunity, and you actually want to trick me into entering the customs, don't blame me for turning my back on you!" Ruthless, when our army enters the pass, you will die without a place to bury you."

Xu Huang laughed loudly and said: "Zhao Kuangyin, I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect you to be a bear. I, Xu Huang, have been favored by the emperor. His Majesty let me be stationed at Sishuiguan, the gate of Luoyang, which just shows how much His Majesty treats me. I How can Xu Huang not be exhausted? If you have the ability, you can attack the pass, and Xu Huang will live and die in Sishui Pass!"

Just at this time, the soldiers of Zhao Jun also came like a ladder to the pass. Zhao Kuangyin gave an order, and the soldiers of Zhao Jun began to attack the city.

The horn of war sounded under Sishui Pass, Xu Chu, Yue Xi, and Cao Ning's three generals took turns attacking the city with soldiers.

However, Xu Huang was notified by Liu Bian early in the morning that the defense equipment was well prepared, and Xu Huang was a good general and good at defense.At the end of the day, Zhao Jun didn't take advantage of it at all.

That night, Zhao Kuangyin summoned all the generals in the closed camp. Zhao Kuangyin's face was gloomy: "I didn't expect Xu Huang to be so difficult to deal with. Our army lost [-] soldiers in one day, but we didn't take advantage of it. It seems that this Sishuiguan I can't take it off."

Xu Chu immediately said: "My lord, why can't you take it down? Tomorrow I will take my brothers to attack the city, and I will definitely take down Sishui Pass for you."

Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "Don't waste your efforts, Sishui Pass is a natural danger, and Xu Huang is a good general. Today I see that the Han army on the top of the city is not 2, but [-], which means there are soldiers at Hulao Pass. It’s coming too. Our army is only [-], how can we take down the natural barrier garrisoned by [-] horses? It’s just a waste of effort to drag it on. In my opinion, we should go north to Yecheng as soon as possible to deal with Liu Bian’s main force!”

Zhao Kuangyin agreed with Zhao Pu's point of view very much. Originally, he set off to Sishuiguan this time with the mentality of giving it a try.If he is unsuccessful, he can go north to attack Liu Bian's main force.

Early the next morning, Zhao Kuangyin retreated to Sishui, crossed the Yellow River to the north and arrived in Yecheng.

At the same time, Yue Fei also led his troops north to Julu.

The soldiers and horses quietly came to a place tens of miles away from the giant deer to hide. Yue Fei found five hundred Yuan soldiers who had surrendered, and said: "You have already surrendered to Your Majesty, and you are equivalent to my soldiers and horses. This time there is one You need to do something."

The 500 people Liu Bian was able to give to Yue Fei were all selected to surrender sincerely, and they were loyal and reliable.Upon hearing Yue Fei's words, the crowd said one after another: "I also ask the general to give you instructions."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Later, you will go to Julu in batches, and you will say that Yuan Shao has made a plan to go out of the city to fight with His Majesty, and now he is surrounded by His Majesty's soldiers and horses, and is in a fierce battle. You come to ask for help, let Julu's Soldiers and horses went to Yecheng for rescue."

"Yes, General!" Everyone agreed.

Yue Fei explained some details, how to answer, and then asked them to put on dirty armor, which looked like defeated soldiers who had fled back.

Soon batches of Yuan Jun headed to Julu, and the first batch of soldiers came to the city of Julu. Now only Yuan Xi and [-] young men are stationed in the city.Another soldier came from the city, Yuan Xi went to the city to check it out himself, and asked, "Who is under the city?"

The soldiers replied: "Second Young Master, we are the Lord's soldiers. My Lord is in Yecheng. He was deceived by Liu Bian to fight. Now he is in a fierce battle. The situation is very critical. Please send troops to rescue quickly."

Yuan Xi saw that there were only 30 to [-] people in the city, so he put them into the city and asked about the situation carefully, but after a while, another group of people came, still saying that Yuan Shao was in danger, and asked Yuan Xi to send troops.

In one morning, more than 400 soldiers entered Yecheng one after another. Yuan Xi couldn't sit still at this time. This situation clearly shows that they broke out and came back to rescue.

In the end, a group of Yuan soldiers were sent out by Yue Fei, and at the same time they brought back the high-spirited Zhang Bama.One Yuan Bing held up a Zhangba horse and said: "Second son, General Gao Ang personally led us to break through, but the Han army was so powerful that General Gao Ang was also trapped in the formation. Even his weapon Zhang Bama was lost, and now The lord's situation is extremely critical, so please don't hesitate to send troops to the rescue, Second Young Master."

Gao Gan also looked at Yuan Xi with contempt on his face and said: "Since uncle is besieged by soldiers and horses, he must need reinforcements. We still have [-] soldiers and horses in our city. If we join the battlefield, it might be impossible to turn defeat into victory. If you are afraid, then Let me lead the troops to support uncle."

Yuan Shao clenched his fists tightly. Ever since Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were arrested, Yuan Shao talked about them every day, and Yuan Xi served them personally, but Yuan Shao turned a blind eye.Yuan Xi decided to send troops to rescue Yuan Shao this time, which made Yuan Shao admire.

"No need, I will go in personally and give you a thousand soldiers to guard the giant deer!" Yuan Xi waved his hand, and immediately mobilized nearly [-] soldiers to go to Yecheng for rescue.

Yue Fei had already set up an ambush on the only way to Yecheng, and not long after, he saw Yuan Xi leading [-] young and strong soldiers coming.

"Hey, Daddy, you are really amazing. I didn't expect Yuan Xi to be tricked out of the city by you." Yue Yun beside Yue Fei laughed.

Yue Fei looked at Yuan Jun's soldiers from a distance, and said: "These soldiers are vain on foot. They are not elites, but a newly formed army. It seems that they are young men who have been captured. In this way, they are just innocent people. I ordered soldiers and horses not to Let the arrows go, wait for Yuan Jun to enter the valley, and block the soldiers and horses in the valley!"

"Promise!" Yue Yun slowly climbed down the mountain road with a drum beating urn and a golden hammer, conveying orders to the soldiers.

When Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses had completely entered the valley, the Han troops on both sides immediately rolled the stones they had prepared and blocked Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses in the valley. Yuan Xi's expression changed greatly: "No, there are enemies!"

Five thousand Han troops bowed their bows and set arrows on both sides, and the soldiers around Yuan Xi were only young and strong captured, and they suddenly became a mess.Yue Fei urged his horse out, looked at Yuan Xi and said, "You must be Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao has been killed in Yecheng, you should surrender quickly."

"I don't believe it, Dad has [-] troops, how could he be defeated?" Yuan Xi shouted.

Yue Fei sneered and looked at the rest of Yuan Bing and said: "Yuan Shao died, and Jizhou will be ruled by His Majesty in the future. If you don't surrender, do you want to be buried with Yuan Shao?"

The Yuan family has prestige in the aristocratic family, but ordinary people are gnashing their teeth at Yuan Shao, and Yue Fei's words just fell.Many soldiers put down their weapons, expressing their unwillingness to work for the Yuan family.

"You..." Yuan Xi's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed as he watched the soldiers around him put their weapons at ease.

"Come on, tie me up!" Yue Fei waved his hand, and a soldier restrained Yuan Xi. Yue Fei looked at Yue Yun and said, "Yun'er, you are about the same age as Yuan Xi. When it gets dark, you will put on your clothes." His clothes, pretending to be Yuan Xi, went to Julu to deceive the city gate."

"Yes!" Yue Yun nodded, and soon it was getting dark. Yue Yun put on Yuan Xi's battle armor and brought twenty thousand young men to Julu City.Seeing Yuan Xi's departure and return, the senior officers of the city wall couldn't help asking: "Xianyi, why are you back?"

"The horses are exhausted, I'm exhausted, after much deliberation, my cousin should save my father!" Yue Yun said with a suppressed voice.
