Chapter 684 Huang Zhongyi Shi Zhang Xun
Wuguan.

It was another night, another night of bleak stars, but the offensive and defensive sides had switched.

Compared with the slack defense of the Jin army camp last night, Zhang Xun was not slack at all. He deployed several times more troops to patrol than usual. Almost every quarter of an hour, a team of elite soldiers patrolled the wall.

It can be said that the patrolling soldiers on the wall are constantly coming and going, and a wave will change every hour, so as to ensure the energy of the soldiers to the greatest extent.

However, no one has ever looked up the Juejian to the south of Guancheng. At this moment, the ropes are hanging down from the Jujian, and then one after another, they slide down the ropes vigorously. There are ropes and there are rollers.

When the first Jin soldier landed safely on the wall, he took out the fire bag in his arms and shook it at the Juejian and the city.

Soldiers descended on Juejian one after another, and Jin troops approached quietly under the city wall.

When Yuan Jun's patrol team found out, dozens of Jin soldiers had come down from Juejian, and they quickly shot Yuan Jun to death with hand crossbows.

There was still Yuan Jun making a sound, which immediately aroused Yuan Jun's vigilance, and a nearby patrol team rushed over, and the Jin Army had no choice but to fight Yuan Jun.

Due to weight loss, the Jin army only wore inner armor, simple weapons, a shovel and a crossbow.

However, the Jin army still defeated Yuan Jun with their superb martial arts and cooperation, but as a large number of Yuan Jun patrols came, the Jin army formed a half-moon defensive formation to block it.

As more and more Jin troops descended from Juejian, a large number of armors were also thrown from Juejian. The Jin army expanded its defensive formation several times and gradually occupied the first section of the city.

The Jin army threw down the fire folds they had prepared, and the Jin army from the brigade outside the city immediately launched a fierce offensive.

Zhang Xun lay down with his armour, and it took less than a quarter of an hour from the time he heard the shout of killing to leading the team to the city wall, but it was only such a short time.

The Jin army had already rushed to the base of the city wall carrying the ladders. Zhang Xun didn't care about encircling and suppressing the Jin army coming down from Juejian, so he could only deal with the Jin army attacking the city first.

Many Yuan Jun were sleeping in armor, and rushed to the top of the city when they heard the sound of drums, but the Jin army had already begun to attack the city.

And log in on a section of the city wall controlled by the Jin army, and more and more Jin troops killed the top of the city.

Yuan Jun looked pale and weak in front of the elite Jin army, and even more immature in front of sharp weapons such as Hengdao and Mingguangjia. The Jin army gradually expanded the results of the battle.

Then the Jin army killed the city wall, then killed the city gate guards, opened the city gate, and lowered the suspension bridge. The Jin army that had already been prepared entered the pass.

Compared with Tianming, the Jin army has completely grasped the entire Wuguan situation.

Zhang Xunli fought against Huang Xu's three generals, but was captured by mistake.

With Zhang Xun captured, Yuan Jun in Wuguan fled or surrendered.

After dawn, Huang Zhong and Fazheng entered the customs together, and together they met Zhang Xun who was bound.

"General Zhang is my lord's admirer all along, how can you treat me like this?"

Huang Zhong reprimanded the soldiers of the Jin army who had escorted Zhang Xun in, and was about to release them.

Zhang Xun snorted coldly, turned his head away, dodged Huang Zhong's hand that wanted to untie him, and said: "General Huang doesn't have to do this. I have received Yuan Gong's great kindness. If I can't be loyal to him in life, how can I see my ancestors after death?"

"General, Yuan Gonglu is going against the grain in Huainan, levying violently, showing no compassion for the people, and arbitrarily abolishing the emperor, proclaiming himself emperor. He is really a sinful minister of the Han Dynasty. Why should the general be loyal to him?"

Fazheng offered advice.

Zhang Xun smiled bitterly: "Sir, it's alright to persuade corrupt Confucians. A certain follower Yuan Gong just wanted to make some achievements. Since he was captured today, it was due to a certain fate. The general doesn't need to worry about it. Today there is only Zhang Xun who bows his head and waits to be killed. There is absolutely no one." The sound of surrender."

Zhang Xun's voice was not loud, but his words were powerful, which made all the generals feel admiration.

Regardless of Zhang Xun's martial arts and abilities, this loyalty alone is admirable.

Huang Zhong sighed, and said: "I admire the general's loyalty. Since the general doesn't want to surrender, I also don't want to embarrass the general and ruin the general's reputation. Let's go, general!"

Zhang Xun was taken aback, he was ready to die, but Huang Zhong actually wanted to send him away. Could it be that he was playing hard to get, or wanted to impress himself.

Is Huang Zhong too underestimating people?

If someone wants an excuse, why bother to seek death?
What's the use of fame for a general?Loyalty is the most important thing.

Zhang Xun watched Huang Zhong cut his own rope with cold eyes, and then ordered someone to fetch Zhang Xun's weapons and armor, and then sent Zhang Xun out of the city, along with Zhang Xun's horse and personal guards.

The moment Zhang Xun left the city, he was really stupid.

Huang Zhongzhen let himself go?

Comparing his heart to his heart, Zhang Xun will not let go of the captured enemy generals, he will kill them if he does not persuade them to surrender, and hold him if he does not kill them.

Or did Huang Zhong not take himself seriously at all?
Zhang Xun was surprised and ashamed.

"General, why did you let him go?"

Qin Yilu asked in confusion.

He teamed up with Chen Dao and Huang Xu to take down Zhang Xun. It was a great achievement, but he escaped like this.

Huang Zhong gave him a blank look, and Fazheng explained: "General Qin, Zhang Xun was born in a big family in Nanyang, and he is Mr. Zhongjing's nephew. What's the use of arresting him? What's more, the lord spreads benevolence and virtue to the world. Detaining Zhang Xun will only make some The members of the Zhang family completely surrendered to the Yuan family, and if Zhang Xun is released, the Zhang family can be won over, and the Nanyang and other noble families can see the king's mind."

Liu Xiu and Liu Bang both achieved their careers by recruiting surrenders and accepting rebels. If Liu Bei wants to get the second title, he must also have such a mind to be worthy of it.

Cao Cao took Zhang Xiu who killed his son, and Liu Xiu took Zhu Tuan who killed his brother.

Seeing that the generals were silent, Fazheng said: "Everyone has seen that Zhang Xun vowed not to surrender. If he is forced to die, he will be just a corpse, but letting him go will have many benefits. At least the Yuan Jun near Wuguan will be killed. If you take it away, you can get the key pass outside Wuguan without a single soldier, isn't it good?"

The generals nodded.

Then, as Fazheng said, Yuan Jun outside Wuguan was taken away by Zhang Xun, and Wuguan fell into the hands of the Jin army again. As long as Huang Zhong is happy, he can go south to Nanyang tomorrow.

In Wudang, Li Yan led the navy to go south along the Mianshui River. Wangdu Township was destroyed along the way, Feng County and Yin County were all attacked by Li Yan, and all the local gentry surrendered.

Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor, and Liu Bei is called the second Liu Xiu, which naturally attracted the Nanyang gentry to join him, not to mention the influence of Zhang Ji and the hermit Zhang Bozu.

Li Yan passed through Zhuyang all the way, and did not meet Liu Biao's subordinate Cai Zhongbu until he arrived in Shandu. Only then did Liu Biao's army know that the Jin army had captured the counties of Mianshui.

Cai Zhong didn't dare to fight the Jin army easily, Guan Yu's bravery still echoed in Jingzhou, Guan Yu once borrowed Jingzhou to enter Bazhong.

The two armies confronted each other in Shandu. Cai Zhong reported to Liu Biao overnight. Liu Biao was shocked. While sending envoys to Shandu to meet Li Yan, he sent a message to Cai Mao and Deng Ji asking them to take Xinye as soon as possible, lest Liu Bei take all of Nanyang.
