Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 380 The Southern Expedition to Jizhou ([-] in [-])

Liu Gui had already fallen asleep in the big tent of the Yanzhou army, but he heard the report from the guards in a daze.

Liu Gui shook his head, intending to wake himself up, and asked again: "You mean a spy was caught outside the tent? Is he trying to sneak into the barracks?"

The personal guard cupped his hands and said, "No, he seems to be the messenger of the city."

"A messenger in the city?"

Liu Gui rolled over from the bed, "Does General Yan know about this?"

"Someone has been sent to report!"

Liu Gui nodded: "Squeeze this person to the big tent, and gather all the generals to go to the big tent!"

"Yes!"

Brother Song looked at the generals who were staring at him inside and outside the tent, his heart trembled, but he still puffed up his chest a little, and secretly cheered himself up.

He said to himself that even though he surrendered and offered the city, he must not lose the reputation of the Liaodong family.

Liu Gui sat down on the main seat with a golden sword, and suddenly slapped his big palm on the table, his voice was like thunder: "Where did you come from, you little thief, hurry up and kneel down!"

"thump!"

Brother Song's knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Liu Gui. His body was shaking like chaff, and he couldn't even speak, "The little man is Song Youwen, the head of the Song family in Liaodong, and he is here to surrender the city!"

"Surrender the city?"

Liu Gui and Yan Nan looked at each other, and both could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Yan Nan was not someone who beat around the bush, so he asked directly, "Why should we believe that you are telling the truth?"

Song Youwen took out a silk book from his arms with trembling hands, and held it above his head respectfully, "This is a letter signed by the head of the thirteen families in Liaodong City, which is enough to prove our sincerity."

Then Song Youwen hurriedly explained: "To tell you the truth, General, that old thief is under the personal protection of Puyang Chuan. We really can't do anything, so we can only open the city gate to welcome Master Wang."

"I only hope that your army will forgive us our sins for the sake of our dedication and surrender!"

Yan Nan rubbed his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face: "If this is the case, General Liu and I will definitely say something nice for you in front of the lord."

Song Youwen didn't get an accurate answer from Yannan, and felt very uneasy, but his life should have been saved, which made Song Youwen heave a sigh of relief.

As long as the ancestral hall is preserved, it is better than anything else.

"Then when will you open the city gate?" Liu Gui asked.

Song Youwen hurriedly replied: "The North City Gate is in our hands tonight, and the usual city defense mobilizations are all made by old thief Zhang, and we don't even know about it."

"In that case, Mr. Song, please go to the back tent to rest first!" Yan Nan waved his hand, ordering someone to take Song Youwen down to rest.

Song Youwen also knew that he shouldn't talk too much at this time, so he obediently followed the soldiers out of the camp.

Liu Gui asked, "Yannan, can this Song be trusted?"

Yan Nan also hesitated, "Looking at the situation, it's true that the eighty-year-up is true. After all, the aristocratic family is a group of snobs. Now Liaodong City is in danger, and it will be broken by us in a few days. When the city is broken, they How can the aristocratic family have good fruit to eat? Surrender is still a way out now, and it is possible to spare their lives!"

"But we have to be on guard against their possible false surrender." Yannan added at the end.

Liu Gui rolled his eyes, "It's better to say what you said than to say nothing, so much nonsense, so let me lead people there directly, and you lead the soldiers to take care of you. No matter what happens, there should be a chance to make up for it." , play by ear!"

Yan Nan looked at Liu Gui, nodded slowly, and said a word: "Okay!"

Song Youwen was taken to the big tent again, Liu Gui didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "You can send a signal to them to open the north city gate tonight, but Mr. Hardworking will stay in the army all night."

Song Youwen quickly bowed and said, "This is what it should be."

His head was covered with sweat, obviously he was terrified, but now there was finally a result, and the heart hanging in his throat was finally let go.

By the time Liu Gui assembled his army, it was Chou Hour, that is, from one to three in the morning, when people were most sleepy.

But the Patriarchs of Liaodong City were still full of energy, lying on the top of the city, staring at the darkness in the distance.

Suddenly, a fire flashed out in the darkness, it was only a small size from a distance, but this light made all the families excited.

"Looks like Brother Song has succeeded!" One said happily.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, open the city gate and welcome the army to enter the city!"

"Yes, yes! Open the city gate!"

There was a rush at the top of the city, but then, the city gate made a loud noise and was directly opened by the guards.

The head of the Zhang family who had already fallen asleep in the mansion suddenly got up, his forehead was already dripping with sweat.

The concubine beside her was also awakened, and asked in a daze, "Master, what's wrong?"

Master Zhang squeezed the softness of my concubine's chest hard, and the pain from my chest made my concubine scream out involuntarily.

Master Zhang gasped and said: "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare. Go on to sleep!"

"Yes"

"Master! Master!"

Suddenly there was an anxious knock on the door by the butler of the mansion, and Master Zhang, who had just been lying down, sat up in shock.

The butler has been with him for decades, and he will never disturb his rest for no reason. Could something have happened?

Something bad came to Master Zhang's mind instantly!

Putting on only a coat, he opened the door, looked at the anxious butler, and Puyang Chuan standing at the door, and asked, "What happened?"

The steward said anxiously: "Master, someone in the city opened the city gate and let the enemy army enter the city!"

Master Zhang's eyes went dark, and his body collapsed.

Pu Yangchuan grabbed Master Zhang who was about to fall, and said seriously: "My lord, now I can only escape!"

"Escape? Where else can I escape?" Mr. Zhang murmured as his face was pale, his legs were weak, and his whole body was leaning on the Puyang River.

Although Pu Yangchuan despises such a cowardly lord, he is not the kind of person who betrays his lord and seeks glory, "My lord, let me take you out of Nancheng, as long as you leave Liaodong City, you can go anywhere!"

Only then did Mr. Zhang look bright: "Yes, that's right! The Zhang family also has properties in other states. As long as they leave Liaodong City, they can make a comeback soon, go to Nancheng, and go from the sea!"

Master Zhang didn't care about the concubine who was still lying in the house, he put on a casual dress and left the mansion under the escort of Puyang Chuan.

Seeing that the elder ignored him, the butler stomped his feet vigorously, got into the house, and said to the concubine who was curled up in the quilt: "Xiaofeng, I can finally take you out of this ghostly place!"

"Go away for me!"

Pu Yangchuan yelled and cursed, and the big ax in his hand flew up and down, chopping down several servants to the ground. The servants who wrote this were all those who had rebelled against the family, and the heads of Puyangchuan and Master Zhang were the ones they wanted to be most loyal to Liu Debiao. Important props.

When he arrived at the South City Gate, what Pu Yangchuan didn't expect was that even the South City Gate had already been replaced with the banners of Yanzhou Mu and Cheqi General, and several generals' flags.

For example: Xu!

Xu Huang stood at the gate of the city, watching Puyangchuan without saying a word.

"Pooh!"

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Puyang Chuan simply had a good fight to compare himself with the strong man in front of him who also wields an axe!
"Look at the axe!"

Pu Yangchuan hit the horse's belly hard with both legs, and the horse neighed and rushed towards Xu Huang.

Xu Huang turned his wrist and dragged his big ax to face Puyangchuan.

The two big axes collided fiercely, making a huge roar.

The sky has turned white, and the chaotic night has finally passed, and Liaodong City has been fully controlled by Yan Nan and Liu Gui's troops. Military control is fully implemented in the city, and those hooligans who take advantage of the chaos to do evil are arrested.

During the fight between Puyang Chuan and Xu Huang, his horse stumbled, Pu Yang Chuan was beheaded by Xu Huang, and the Patriarch of the Zhang Family was also captured later.

Liu Gui and Yan Nan then summoned all the clans that surrendered and asked them to gather all clan soldiers and confiscate their weapons.

Then he also appeased these families, telling them that they will report their achievements to the lord and wait for the lord's military order, but before that, please return these family heads to the mansion to wait.

This is equivalent to house arrest.

These aristocratic families are also quite helpless in their hearts, the army has been confiscated, and now it is really a knife and a fish for me.

I had no choice but to go back to the mansion and wait for the release.

In order to dispel the doubts of the family, Liu Gui and Yannan did not send soldiers to guard the mansions, but only strengthened their guard and sent a few people to monitor.

The soldiers of the various families had already confiscated their weapons and were concentrated in the barracks to guard them, so Liu Gui and Yan Nan were not worried that the families would rebel, they no longer had the capital to rebel.

Uncle Yang and Yang Tiantian, who were confronting each other under Changyang City, already had a gap. In addition, they disagreed about the siege of the city, so the two quarreled several times and broke up unhappy.

It's just that Yang Tianlong didn't appoint the final commanders of the two armies, so although Yang Tianlong served as a general, he couldn't command Uncle Yang and his troops.

To put it simply, Uncle Yang doesn't like Yang Tiantian very much.

This made Yang Tiantian very annoyed, he is the emperor's own younger brother, the great general of the dynasty (General Zhao Guo), Uncle Yang is so shameless, what a damn bastard!
A lieutenant tiptoed into the big tent, and Yang Tiantian cast a glance, "What's the matter?"

The lieutenant did not dare to show his anger, for fear of offending the violent Yang Tiantian, he cupped his hands and said, "General, there is news from spies from Liyang City that there are rumors."

"Rumors? What rumors, don't hesitate!"

The deputy general looked up at Yang Tiantian, and boldly said: "There are rumors in the city that General Yang Shuzi wants to unite with Liu De and plot to usurp the throne!"

As expected, Yang Tiantian looked like this, and said viciously: "This general knows that his Uncle Yang is definitely not at ease!"

The deputy general was trembling, and persuaded: "General, this is a rumor, it may not be credible, let the spies investigate it."

Yang Tiantian waved his hand, and said: "What investigation is there? Uncle Yang used to be the city guard in Liyang, and the rumors from Liyang must be inseparable! Take the pen here, I want to refer to Uncle Yang's book, and refer to it. He has an evil plan, is rebellious, and wants to rebel!"

The lieutenant quickly responded, "Yes!"

Liu De finally arrived at Changyang City, and [-] soldiers camped in the south of Changyang City, forming horns with Changyang City, sharing part of the pressure for Changyang City.

However, Yang Jun did not send troops to harass them for unknown reasons, perhaps because he was afraid of the soldiers and horses in Changyang City, or because of other secrets, so Liu De built the camp without hindrance.

Liu De appointed Xu Chu as the general and Liu Tang as the deputy to stay in the camp, and then brought Dian Wei to Changyang City.

Guan Yu led all the generals to pay homage.

Liu De supported Guan Yu, who was kneeling on one knee, and asked, "What's the situation with the enemy army now?"

Guan Yu said: "My lord, the enemy general Yang Tiantian led the army to attack several times, but when Uncle Yang's army arrived, he stopped the attack, and the stalemate has persisted until now. I don't know what happened?"

Liu De nodded, and led all the generals directly to the top of the city to observe the enemy's strength.

Guan Yu pointed to the army formation outside the city and said, "Yang Tiantian and Uncle Yang are both good generals. flaw"

Liu De laughed and said: "Although the enemy army has no flaws in the formation, I knew early on that the relationship between Yang Tianlong and Yang Shuzi was not friendly, which is why Yang Tianlong stopped attacking the city after Yang Shuzi led the army over. reason."

"I have asked Bai Qi to lead the cavalry to rush over quickly. When the cavalry arrives, it will be the death of Yang Tiantian and Uncle Yang!"

"But now!"

Liu De pointed to the outside of the city, "We can test the strength of the enemy army?"

"I will understand at the end!"

Guan Yu already understood Liu De's meaning, and seeing Liu De's self-confidence, Guan Yu's generals were also full of confidence, especially Guan Yu, who wanted to be ashamed.

"Let the last general personally understand the enemy's capabilities!" Guan Yu asked to fight.

Liu De directly led the generals out of the city gate, Yang Tianlong and Yang Shuzi got the news, and led the soldiers and horses out of the camp quickly, and came to Changyang City.

Guan Yu took the lead and looked at the neat formation of the Yang family army in front of him. Guan Yu shouted loudly: "The traitor Yang Tianlong dared to preside over and proclaim himself emperor. He is simply arrogant and ignorant. The ancestors of the Yang family have served the emperor of the Great Zhou for generations. Unfilial children and grandchildren, I am afraid that they will die with peace in their eyes!

You are helping the evildoers, and you don't know how to live or die. If you put down your weapons and kneel down and ask for surrender, maybe you can save yourself from death!If you are still stubborn, look at the hardness of a certain knife, or you are as stubborn as a dog! "

"Pooh!"

Yang Tiantian was furious, and cursed angrily: "My elder brother is obeying the will of God. His strength is exhausted. God wants my elder brother to proclaim himself emperor. How can ordinary people stop him? It's just a mantis' arm as a chariot!"

"A mantis' arm is a cart?"

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes slightly opened, full of murderous aura, the green dragon knife slowly slashed across the ground, leaving a scratch on the ground, "Arrogant and ignorant thief, who dares to fight against a certain one!"

"Someone is here to fight with you!"

A general came out from behind Yang Tiantian, holding a long knife, and the cloak behind his back rustled, majestic and majestic, as if he was invincible.

This person is a very powerful general in the imperial guards. He may have heard of Guan Yu's reputation, but he is conceited in his bravery and doesn't take it seriously at all. He wants to use Guan Yu's head as a vote for his promotion.
