No words all night.

After dawn, Li Jue and Guo Si took the army back to Meiwu.

Hu Zhen, the governor of Meiwu, was an old subordinate of Dong Zhuo. He and Yang Dingjun, who were also from Liangzhou, were famous heroes in Liangzhou. Later, after Dong Zhuo died, he immediately surrendered to Wang Yun. When Li Jue and Guo Si raised an army to cause trouble, Wang Yun sent him and Xu Rong to lead troops to greet him. As a result, Xu Rong died in battle, and he led his troops to surrender.

Since Li and Guo started the confrontation, he felt that Li Jue had no chance of winning, so he changed to Guo Si and was entrusted with important tasks to serve as the guard of Meiwu. When he learned that Li Jue and Guo Si and the others led their troops to Meiwu, he quickly ordered the city gate to close and the soldiers were on guard.

Regarding Hu Zhen's actions, a military marquis under his command asked in confusion: "General, you are the subordinate of General Guo. Why did you hear that General Guo is coming to Meiwu? Not only did you not leave the city to greet him, but you ordered the city gates to be closed and the guards were strengthened?"

"What do you know?!" Hu Zhen shouted at the Junhou: "When we joined the General, he was fighting with Sima Li. Now the two of them are in the same place, and General Guo only has the lead in Li Dasima. If Sima Li holds a grudge against me in his heart and wants to get rid of me, do you think General Guo will speak for me?"

Junhou felt that Hu Zhen’s statement made some sense. But he looked around and said with some concern: “General, most of the defenders in the city are General Guo’s old subordinates. If the general arrives later, will they be able to take action?”

"Let's take a step, we can't sit and wait for death." Hu Zhen looked at the dust rising in the distance and said, "If Sima Li forgives my sins, it will not be too late to open the city gate when the time comes."

Li Jue and Guo Si led his troops outside the city of Meiwu, but found that the city gate was closed and the suspension bridge was hanging high. Li Jue turned his head and looked at Guo Si and asked, "Adu, why didn't the guards in the city open the city gate to greet him?"

"Zhiran, please wait here and wait for me to ask what happened." Guo Si said, urging his horse to the moat, looking up at the city wall and shouting loudly: "I asked Hu Zhen and Hu Wen to come out to see me."

"The last general will meet the general!" When Hu Zhen heard Guo Si calling his name under the city, he could not avoid it. He could only walk to the city wall, poke out half of his body from the entrance, and said to Guo Si under the city: "I don't know that the general has come here and has not come far away to welcome him. Please forgive me."

"Wencai," Guo Si saw Hu Zhen respectful to him, and knew that he had not rebelled against him. A hanging new girl fell back into her stomach and quickly ordered: "Quickly open the city gate and let us enter the city."

"Good General, please wait." Seeing that Guo Si was about to turn around and call the troops behind him into the city, Hu Zhen stopped him loudly: "Hu was originally under the command of the Grand Sima, and later joined the Grand Sima. Now the General and the Grand Sima came to Meiwu. Hu was worried that his life would be lost, so he did not dare to open the city gate."

Guo Si frowned and thought for a while, thinking that Hu Zhen had some reason. After all, the other party surrendered to Li Jue. If he let Li Jue rashly enter the city, what should he do if he wants to settle the score in the autumn? So he looked up at Hu Zhen on the city wall and said, "Wencai, please wait here. After this general discusses with the Grand Sima, it will be not too late to reply to you."

After saying that, Guo Si turned his horse and returned to the military formation. Seeing Guo Si back in vain, Li Jue asked unhappily: "Adu, why has the guards been slow to open the city gate?"

"Zhiran, there is a difficult thing now." Guo Si said to Li Jue with some embarrassment: "Hu Zhen, the commander in the city, used to be under your command. Later, when you and I were fighting, he led his troops to join me. The reason why he refused to open the city gate was that he would settle the score for him after entering the city, and then his life would be difficult to save."

After hearing this, Li Jue frowned and said, "It's so outrageous. How could this Grand Sima hold a grudge against him for such a small matter? When you go back and tell him, you just say that as long as he opens the city gate, this Grand Sima will never make things difficult for him."

Guo Si said: "Zhiran, according to my opinion, in order to make Hu Wencai feel at ease, you should accompany me to the city wall in person. As long as you tell Hu Wencai in person, you will not care about the past, and believe he will open the city gate immediately."

Hearing Guo Si say this, Li Jue has no choice but to answer helplessly: "Forget it, I will give him an explanation."

"It's a laborious thing to do."

Li Jue impatiently urged his mount and followed Guo Si to the moat. He raised his head and shouted at the city wall: "Where is Hu Zhen?"

When Hu Zhen heard Li Jue calling himself under the city, he quickly leaned out and said respectfully: "I will meet the Grand Sima!"

"Hu Wencai, as long as you open the city gate!" Li Jue said in an orderly tone: "I will never care about your betrayal in the past. If you violate your oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

Hearing Li Jue swearing outside the city, Hu Zhen knew that his life had been saved, and hurriedly said, "Please wait for the Grand Sima and General, and the last general will immediately order people to open the city gate." Then he ordered the soldiers around him, "Open the city gate, put down the suspension bridge, and welcome the army into the city!"

The suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was opened. Hu Zhen stood at the gate of the city to welcome Li Jue and Guo Si. He knelt down in front of the two horses and said respectfully: "I will meet Hu Zhen to see the Grand Sima and the General!"

Although Li Jue hated this person who betrayed him to the core, his generals were now lost. Even his two trusted nephews were both killed in the battle yesterday. He naturally had to find a way to win over someone like Hu Zhen. Seeing Hu Zhen kneeling in front of his horse, he quickly turned over and dismounted, reached out to help the other party, and said with a smile: "General Hu doesn't have to be too polite, please get up quickly! Come into the city with this Grand Sima."

Wu Xi saw everything that happened in front of the city gate. He felt that he could use this to do something. Maybe the plan to seize the Muwu and eliminate the two thieves of Li Guo was twice the result with half the effort. Seeing that Li Jue walked into the city with his hands and hands with the other party, he hurriedly rode his horse to Guo Si and said to him: "General, the last general seems to have the intention of re-submission to the Grand Sima when he sees this Hu Wen. You should be careful."

Guo Si looked at Li Jue and Hu Zhen walking in front, and felt sour and disgusted. He snorted heavily with his nose and said to Wu Xi: "Let's enter the city."

Wu Xi was half a horse behind Guo Si, walked along the street towards the city, and began to "slander": "General, if Hu Wen had defected to the Grand Sima, our life in the city of Meiwu will not be easy."

Guo Si deeply agreed with Wu Xi's statement. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "What you said is quite reasonable. You can't let Hu Zhen continue to serve as the guard of Meiwu. When you arrive at the conference hall later, this general will have his own opinions."

Soon, everyone came to the meeting hall and sat down according to the main and secondary. Guo Si said to Li Jue: "Zhiran, since we have arrived in Meiwu, I believe that the soldiers in Jizhou will be at the city soon. If Hu Wencai alone defended the city, I may not be able to do anything. I think he would give the South Gate to Wu Xi to take charge."

Li Jue did not object to Guo Si's arrangement, but nodded in agreement. Wu Xi originally thought that he would take a lot of effort to serve as the garrison in the city, but he did not expect that he could achieve his goal so easily. He was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped out to salute Li and Guo and the others: "Thank you, the great Sima, the general's love, Wu Xi will definitely not let down your expectations."

After Hu Zhen heard that Guo Si handed over the guard mission in the south of the city to Wu Xi, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, seeing that the wood was already in its boat, he could only leave the line and salute the two of them, and said with a bitter face: "I will obey the order. I will hand over the defense in the south of the city to General Wu later."

Considering that Li and Guo had traveled so far, Hu Zhen quickly called his servants to prepare wine and food, and welcomed them in the meeting hall. At the same time, he ordered people to deliver wine and food to the soldiers entering the military camp.

After the banquet passed, Guo Si called Wu Xi aside and told him: "I think I have a rebellious intention when I see Hu Zhen. After you take over the defense of the south of the city, you should be more careful."

"Please rest assured, General." Wu Xi patted his chest and promised Guo Si: "The last general will never let Hu Zhen's soldiers and soldiers step into the south of the city."

Regarding Wu Xi's reply, Guo Si nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's so good!"

Wu Xi returned to the base and quickly called Feng Er and said to him: "Feng Er, General Guo has ordered me to be responsible for the defense of the south of the city. You can quickly dive out of the city and report this news to General Zhao and Mr. Guo."

"General, no, no!" After hearing Wu Xi's order, Feng Er quickly dissuaded and said, "General has a new job in defending the south of the city. I believe Hu Zhen will feel resentful and will definitely send someone to monitor nearby. If we do anything rashly, we will definitely be noticed."

Fortunately, Wu Xi is not a stubborn person, so he can listen to Feng Er's opinions. He humbly asked Feng Er for advice, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"In the opinion of a villain, we will still keep our troops." Feng Er said after careful consideration: "When General Zhao and his troops are at the city, it will be not too late for the young one to leave the city to report the news."

"Since that's the case, I'll follow you." Wu Xi said to Feng Er: "Take this opportunity, choose more reliable people, be responsible for guarding the city gate, and immediately open the city gate after the better time with the troops in Jizhou."

"General, opening the city gate is second." Feng Er said hesitantly: "We must first get rid of Li Jue and Guo Si'er thieves."

After hearing Feng Er's words, Wu Xi walked back and forth around the house with his hands behind his back. After a while, he stopped and said to Feng Er: "I just entered the Meiwu today. If you want to invite Li and Guo to the banquet, it seems a bit too urgent, which may arouse their suspicion. You can only find a few days to find another opportunity to lead the two thieves to the mansion. At that time, the general will ambush the swordsman and dismember them from the body."

Although Zhao Yun did not go to the camp to rob the camp at night, he still swam outside the camp of Li Guo. Therefore, as soon as Li Guo and his two camps headed to the camp, Zhao Yun learned about it as soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking. After he asked Guo Jia, "Mr. Fengxiao, I wonder when we will raise an army to attack the camp?"

"No, no hurry. The two thieves Li and Guo entered the Meiwu, like turtles in a jar, and they will be captured by us sooner or later." Guo Jia said, pointing to the west, and said, "Has General Zilong forgotten that there is still a military force on the west side of us? If they don't eradicate them, they will rashly attack Meiwu, and they may be worried about being attacked by the enemy from both sides."

"Mr. Fengxiao, then we will send troops to attack the camp first." Zhao Yun and Guo Jia said this and immediately said hurriedly: "As long as we capture this camp, we can lead troops to attack the camp."

"General Zilong, it is not necessary to get rid of this army." Guo Jia smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Jia is waiting for someone. As long as this person goes to the camp in the west of the city, the defenders inside may surrender without fighting."

"Surrender without fighting?" Zhao Yun was skeptical about Guo Jia's statement, but he did not refute Guo Jia, but asked curiously: "Mr. Fengxiao, I wonder what the lobbyist you are talking about, who is the surname of whom?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "The soldiers and horses in the camp in the west of the city are all Li Jue's fellow townsmen. Jia happened to be sent to the camp to persuade the surrender, and he was also Li Jue's fellow townsmen. His surname was Huangfu and he was a member of Huangfu Song's follower. He must be very sure of his support for the camp in the west of the city."

As the two were talking, a Duma suddenly walked into the outside and reported to Zhao Yun: "Report to General, an official outside asked for a visit."

"Officials ask for a meeting?" When Zhao Yun and Guo Jia heard Du's words, they thought to themselves: "Could it be Huangfu Li coming?"

After Zhao Yun and Guo Jia looked at each other, they asked Du Bo: "Did the person here say what his surname is?"

"Return to General," Du Bo replied respectfully: "The person who came said that his surname was Huangfu, with the single word "Li", which was invited by Mr. Guo."

"It turns out that Huangfu Li is here." After confirming that the person coming was Huangfu Li, Guo Jia couldn't help but be overjoyed. He said to Zhao Yun: "General is here to wait for Jia to welcome Mr. Huangfu into the tent."

After a while, Guo Jia walked in to a middle-aged man wearing a black official uniform. When the man saw Zhao Yun, he stepped forward and bowed and bowed: "Huangfu Li has seen General Zhao!"

"Mr. Huangfu is not a gift!" Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and supported Huangfu Li. After a few words of politeness, he called him to sit down and asked, "Mr. Huangfu, I heard from Mr. Fengxiao that you are willing to go to the west camp of the city to persuade him to surrender. I wonder if you are sure?"

"The soldiers in the camp in the west of the city are all fellow villagers. They don't want to see their lives miserable, so they are willing to take a risk." Huangfu Li stood up and bowed to Zhao Yun, and said, "Please send someone to send them to the camp."

Seeing that Huangfu Li was so anxious to go to the camp in the west of the city, Zhao Yun did not stop him. He quickly called a military marquis and ordered him to lead five hundred soldiers to escort Huangfu Li to the camp in the west of the city. He also told him: "You escort the teacher to the camp and wait outside the camp. When will the teacher come out and when will you return? Do you understand?"
