Chapter 665
At this moment, Wei Qing's army is getting closer and closer to Jinguan City, but at this time there is still a pass that hinders Wei Qing's army. The city's military strength is far from enough.

This pass is called Quyu Pass, and it was mainly set up to guard against Dafan. However, Yizhou has already negotiated terms with Dafan. Relying on the supply of money, the two parties can be considered to be in peace. It has been several years Peace.

So Quyuguan's defense must be lax, and this gave Wei Qing a chance.

That night, Wang Ping, Luo Cheng, Zhou Bo, and Hua Rong personally hung up the rope, taking advantage of the lax guards of the guards, directly led the army into the pass, and the guarding general who was waiting was shot and killed by Hua Rong. After that, the big picture is settled.

Wei Qing didn't care about the rest of the soldiers, and directly searched the city for food and war horses. Apart from staying behind a hundred people to guard the city and wait for the [-] infantry behind, he set off overnight to Jinguan City.

In the middle of the night, the county magistrate of a small county in Yizhou was woken up by the county guard who guarded the city: "Magistrate Wang, the whereabouts of an army were found outside the city! They are all cavalry, about thousands of them!"

"Army!"

The county magistrate, who was still a little sleepy, woke up in an instant. Under the service of the maid, he hurriedly put on his clothes and said in surprise: "Thousands of cavalry, are they our soldiers and horses?"

"It shouldn't be, the direction is wrong!"

The county magistrate Wang opened his mouth wide in an instant: "That is the enemy army? How can there be an enemy army here? This is the hinterland of Yizhou, and it is only a hundred miles away from Jinguan City."

"broken!"

County magistrate Wang slapped his thigh fiercely, and said anxiously to the county lieutenant: "Quick! Send a fast horse to inform Jinguancheng!"

The county lieutenant cupped his hands: "Yes!"

Also hurried down to make arrangements.

However, the commanding soldiers who set out from the city were shot dead by Hua Rong who was hiding on both sides of the road before they left for too long.

The county magistrate and county lieutenant in the county knew nothing about it.

When it was daybreak, Wei Qing's army really couldn't hide anymore. It can also be said that hiding is useless. The cities are relatively close and dense. Yizhou has been stable for several years, and the population is relatively large.

So with hindsight, Jinguancheng realized that a Han army had arrived outside Jinguancheng. Although the number was not large, it was still too shocking to the officials and soldiers in Jinguancheng.

"The hall missed me!"

Ji Changrun patted the handle of the seat and lost his temper in the hall.

A general came out and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Han army is only three to five thousand soldiers and horses, and our Jinguan City is high and deep, and there are [-] soldiers guarding the city. They are all elite soldiers with complete armor. .

What's more, my elder brother is leading his troops to Baishuiguan. According to the time, he must pass through Jinguan City in two days. As long as we send sentry cavalry, with my brother's method of commanding troops, he will definitely arrive at Jinguan City in one day. Please also Rest assured, Your Majesty. "

The elder brother mentioned by this person is Wu Zheng, the number one general in Yizhou, and this person is Wu Zheng's younger brother, Wu Kui.

Only then did Ji Changrun put away his thunderous anger, nodded slowly, and said, "In this way, I can rest assured."

Yu Wencheng wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Yu Wenhuaji's eyes.

Then Wu Kui continued: "Your Majesty, the thief general dared to be so rampant with only three to five thousand soldiers. Your Majesty, please allow me to lead three thousand troops out of the city to meet the enemy. Maybe I don't need to wait for my brother to come, so I can kill Wei Qing." His head is dedicated to His Majesty."

At this time, Wang Bi, the guardian of civil servants and the current prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty (the Zhou Dynasty established by Ji Changrun), came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Han army can penetrate dozens of Dafan tribes from the Jingfan trail. Even the strength of taking Quyuguan should not be underestimated, I think it is better to stick to it first, and wait for the arrival of Qin Wang's teacher, this is the safest way."

Wu Kui didn't take it seriously, relying on his brother's status, he couldn't help mocking Wang Mi: "Prime Minister Wang is really too cowardly, the Han army outside the city is an exhausted army of [-], and it is not stable now. If you don't take this opportunity to kill the enemy, why don't you wait for the enemy to rest?"

Wu Kui's words really made all the officials in the palace nod their heads, and what they said was indeed reasonable.

But Wang Bi was silent for a moment, and then he cupped his hands and said to Ji Changrun: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, I also agree to go out to fight in the city. If it is General Wu Zheng, I have nothing to say, but if it is General Wu Kui"

Wang Mi ignored Wu Kui's flaming eyes and said, "If it's General Wu Kui, I suggest that General Yuwen Chengdu be the main general. General Yuwen's bravery is outstanding, and this is recognized by the whole army."

"you"

Wu Kui went crazy with Wang Mi's speech, and a series of swear words could be spewed out immediately after reaching the tip of his mouth.

Ji Changrun is not very capable, even a little timid and cowardly, but being able to hold the position of the Lord of Yizhou for such a long time makes everyone dare not underestimate him.

Ji Changrun directly stopped the quarrel between the two, and said, "I know General Yuwen's ability."

After hearing this, Yu Wencheng hurried out to thank you.

Ji Changrun waved his hand and continued: "However, General Xiao Wu is also a veteran general in the army, and it was General Xiao Wu who proposed to go out of the city to fight, so this time the battle out of the city is still dominated by General Xiao Wu, and the rest of the deputy generals and participating generals are all under the leadership of Xiao Wu. General Wu chooses on his own, and I hope that General Wu will return triumphantly."

Only then did Wu Kui excitedly say: "The last general will live up to His Majesty's trust."

Then he glanced at Wang Mi and Yuwen Chengdu, and left the hall with a cold snort.

Ji Changrun waved his hand to signal his withdrawal, and returned to the inner hall with a yawn.

"Marshal, there are enemy troops leaving the city. The number of them is about 3000. The banner is the general Wu who suppressed the bandits."

A sentinel rushed to report.

"General Pingze? Wu Zheng's younger brother, Wu Kui, is he right?"

Wei Qing asked the generals beside him.

Zhou Bo said: "That's right, it's this person."

"Very good, but I have some skills. I know that we will go out of the city to harass us while our foothold is not stable."

Wei Qing nodded slightly, and then ordered: "General Luo, this time it's up to you."

Luo Cheng immediately came out and responded, "The last general is ordered to kill this servant."

Later, Luo Cheng led only a thousand cavalry troops to attack Wu Kui's troops. Wu Kui was overjoyed to see the Han army attacking. A total of 4000 people from Fang collided together in an instant.

No one expected that, within a quarter of an hour, Wu Kui's troops were defeated by Luo Cheng, and Wu Kui was directly picked off his horse by Luo Cheng's silver spear. Under the horse's tread, his bones turned into mud.

The three thousand Yizhou Army brought back only a few hundred people in the city, and Wu Kui's failure also cast a shadow over Jinguan City. Ji Changrun ignored Wang Mi's request to fight again, but ordered the city to be strictly guarded, waiting for Wu Zheng The arrival of the army.

At this time, there was a sudden heavy rain in Jinguan City, which also gave Ji Changrun no better excuse to defend the city. Although Wei Qing also delayed the opportunity to quickly attack the city, it also gave the Han army time to rest.

After interrogating the prisoners, Wei Qing also learned of the arrival of Wu Zheng's army.

How many people does Wu Zheng have?
According to the captives, there are no less than [-].

With 3 horses, the generals lost their voices for a while.After all, there are only 4000 people now, and they are still a weak army. I am afraid it will be difficult to match the 3 horses led by Wu Zheng.

Wei Qing looked at the pouring rain outside the camp, but asked an irrelevant question: "You said, did the steps in Baishui Pass know that we are coming to Jinguan City?"

Zhou Bo thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Jinguan City has dispatched a number of command troops, some of them went to Baishui Pass. According to the time, within five days, the Buting Hall will know all the situation here."

"Then you said, Buting will lead troops to rescue Jinguan City?" Wei Qing was asking.

"This"

Zhou Bo hesitated for a while, but still replied: "We only have [-] cavalry, and Baishui Pass is guarding the vital points, and there are [-] troops under the command of Deputy Commander Zhao. If he is the last general, he should not return to the army, unless"

"Unless what?"

"Unless Ji Changrun strongly requests."

"That's right!"

Wei Qing affirmed Zhou Bo's answer, "Without Wu Kui's defeat, Ji Changrun might not have given in to Buting to return, but now that Wu Kui has lost, the possibility of Ji Changrun ordering Buting to return has greatly increased."

"What does the handsome mean?"

Wang Ping asked cautiously.

Wei Qing chuckled, but didn't answer, but continued to ask: "If you were generals in the city, what would you think of our actions?"

Zhou Bo said: "One is to attack the city after the heavy rain, the other is to ambush Wu Zheng, and the other is to withdraw the troops."

"That's right, there are only three possibilities, but they never expected that we will go to Baishui Pass!"
