The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137 Jiang Wei's Choice ([-])
Jiang Wei's Choice ([-])
On the second day, when the sunset was approaching at dusk, with the last ray of sunset, it remained on the dark armor of the Han army; The trend is to move closer to the city wall of Xixian County, and the intention is obviously to capture the invisible city in front of you.

Standing directly above the city wall at this time was Shangguan Yong, who was next to Ma Zun, the prefect of Tianshui County. Looking at the endless Han army formation in front of him, he did not show any sadness or timidity, only the corners of his mouth curved.

The rest of the soldiers of the Wei army standing on the female wall on the city wall, holding their bows tightly, kept looking around Shangguan Yong's body, as if they were waiting for something, and more like looking forward to something, but they were panicked at this moment , it seemed that it was about to collapse in the dark, the heart was beating violently, the blood vessels and tendons were congested, and it would explode immediately, but relying on my vocation, I haven't shown it yet.

Gradually, the Han army had reached a hundred paces away from the city wall, but stopped; it seemed that they had no intention of annexing the small city in front of them in one go, and the soldiers of the former army spread out to both sides, leaving a wide road in the middle, like is why preparation is average.

After all, the setting sun did not stay for a long time, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.At this moment, a ten-man cavalry cavalry emerged from the central army of the Han army. Looking carefully, the leader seemed to have the same skin color as the dark night, holding a long spear. Who will it be.

Reining in his horse and standing in front of the city gate, accompanied by the darkening sky at this time, Zhang Fei was like the devil who came from the ground, wanting to claim his life tonight to stop his greedy addiction.

"Drink! People on the top of the city, listen up. I am Zhang Yide from Yan. If you have the guts, come down and fight with me at night. Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head. If you don't have the guts, open the door and surrender, otherwise you, Grandpa Zhang, will surely enter the city." Let you regret the decision of sticking to it;" Zhang Fei stood under the city and shouted loudly, without any sound interference, Zhang Fei's shouts resounded inside and outside the city wall, but it also made the people in the city terrified.

Shangguan Yong was not intimidated by it at all, he still watched every move under the city with a sullen face, but he had no intention of surrendering the city.

"As an adult, the following officials will look at it: the Han army is powerful, and we have less than a thousand soldiers, and we are still recruits who have not fought. It is better to surrender to the Han army for a while, or return to the Wei State in the future, and continue to serve the Wei court. "The trembling voice of the magistrate of Xicheng was obviously afraid of the attack of the Han army.

Looking at the low city walls of Xixian County, Shangguan Yong knew in his heart that facing the well-prepared Han army, he would definitely not be able to resist the first charge, but he had no intention of resisting the Han army at all.The guards on the city wall kept looking at him. Shangguan Yong knew that if he hadn't been here, the county magistrate of Xi County would have given up the city long ago. Having grown so many steps, the city had no choice but to surrender immediately, but turned its attention to himself, waiting for a decision.

"Since this is the case, there is nothing we can do. For the sake of the people all over the city, we have no choice but to surrender to Liu Bei Xiancheng." Shaking his head, he said helplessly.

"No," the county magistrate responded.

"Open the city gate, I want to personally welcome the Han army into the city" Shangguan Yong Dahan shouted; the soldiers immediately opened the city gate without the slightest hesitation, perhaps they have been waiting for this moment, after all, this is a war without any suspense.

The city gate was slowly opened, led by Shangguan Yong, and the civil and military officials in the city walked out with their heads down, walking towards Zhang Fei.

Shangguan Yong held the official seal of Xixian County in his hand, and the people behind him held the roster of people in Xixian County, and bowed to Zhang Fei: "The general is above, and the next to worship;"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and gave the lieutenant beside him a look. The lieutenant immediately got off his horse and took over the official seal and roster; "They're all soft bastards. They're so scared that they want to surrender without a fight! Hmph! Come with me." Let's go!" Zhang Fei said dejectedly.It seems that Shangguan Yong's surrender is not very in line with his appetite;

Shangguan Yong's heart trembled uncontrollably when he heard this, the previous anger on his face disappeared at this moment, and the previous aspirational heart fell to the bottom.Originally, I also wanted to have an offensive and defensive battle with the Han army to show off my martial arts skills, but I didn't expect the soldiers defending the city to be so timid, and I didn't expect the Han army to come so fast, but the previous preparations were useless. Only like the rest of the city donors, there is nothing new to attract Liu Bei.Now I went to see Liu Bei, but I was only slightly comforted by him.But Zhang Fei's scolding just happened to talk about his own pain.

"It seems that the rest needs to rely on my own ability, I just hope to have that opportunity to display it." Shangguan Yong said silently.

After the Han army rested in Xicheng for one night, without any stay, they were about to start a new day of marching. Make arrangements after Tianshui.

Shangyu County; Jiang Wei and others who rushed from Xixian County to Shangyu County two days ago finally arrived at the city of Shangyu County on this day, but the city gate was closed.

"Who are you waiting for?" The soldiers on the city wall shouted.

"I am Jiang Wei, the general of Tianshui, and the rest are county officials. Let me enter the city before you open the city gate." Jiang Weili shouted in response from under the city.

"It turned out to be Jiang Wei, the general of the Zhonglang. The prefect Youling Jiang Wei and others have already betrayed Wei Touhan. Anyone who sees him can shoot him. If you don't leave, don't blame my ruthless men." The tower responded loudly.

"Bo Yue, it seems that Ma Zun is forcing me to rebel against Wei Touhan! Such an order has already been issued, and I, Liang Xu, have been blinded to serve as an official under such a despicable and shameless person like Ma Zun; You should have listened to Shangguan Yong's words and surrendered to the Han army early, so you won't be insulted again;" Liang Xu, the meritorious Cao of Tianshui County, glared.

"Bo Yue, what Gong Cao said is right, let's join the Han army! We have done what we have to do! We have a clear conscience." Bo Yinshang persuaded him.

Jiang Wei looked at the face of the man on the tower just now, his eyes filled with tears, and he stared at him angrily, biting his trembling lips.The rest of the people looked at Jiang Wei's appearance and did not want to comfort him, as if everyone could understand.

[Liang Xu, Da Honghe of the Shu Han Dynasty.Originally Cao Wei's Tianshui Gongcao, he followed Jiang Wei to Shuhan.Official to Changqiu.Yin Shang, originally the head of Wei Tianshui County, descended to Shuhan during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, and became an official in charge of Jinwu. 】
