Chapter 311
Zhao Yun stopped Zhang Chong and Feng Er who were killing each other and called them to the front. He first asked Feng Er: "Feng Er, have you found your general?"
"No," Feng Er shook his head and replied straightforwardly: "We are just chasing the deserters and have never seen my general." He turned his head and asked Henzi who was standing behind him, "Henzi, do you know where the general is?"
"It should be in Guo Si's mansion." Henzi said in an uncertain tone: "He ordered me to open the city gate to welcome the army into the city, and then took people to Guo Si's mansion. It must have been done."
After Zhao Yun and the other son finished speaking, they immediately ordered Feng Er: "Feng Er, take people to Guo Si's mansion to have a look. General Wu Xi can be there."
"Here!" Feng Er agreed, turned around and shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Come with me!"
After Feng Er and Henzi took his people away, Zhao Yun asked Zhang Chong in a stern tone: "Prince Zhang, the general order I gave you is to guard the north gate, so that no one in the city can escape. Why did you lead troops into the city without authorization and fight with friendly troops?"
Zhang Chong hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said to Zhao Yun: "Report to General Zhao that the last general surrendered to Jizhou, and his achievements were not made. He wanted to break the city tonight to capture and kill Li Jue and Guo Si as a letter of fame. He did not want to enter the city, but fought with friendly troops. Please forgive me."
"Have your soldiers and horses entered the city?" Zhao Yun turned his ears and heard the nearby shouts of killing, and asked with a cold face: "How many soldiers and horses are left outside the city?"
"The General of the Mo has left five thousand soldiers in the camp, commanded by Mr. Huangfu." Zhang Chong thought for a while and said with a chance: "There are fewer guards near the city gate, and only a dozen people are guarding it. The General of the Mo has thought that the city is so chaotic, Li Jue, Guo Si and others want to escape, but they don't know where to escape, so there is no need to send too many people to defend the city."
"It's so confusing." Zhao Yun and Zhang Chong finished speaking, and immediately said with a stern face: "You think Li Jue, Guo Si and others can escape from the silence. Last time in Chang'an, we set up ambush everywhere, but Li Jue escaped. Why don't you send someone to strengthen the defense of the city gate, otherwise Li Jue and others will escape from the city while in chaos."
When Zhang Chong heard Zhao Yun say this, he was shocked and sweated. He quickly called two confidant soldiers and ordered them to take a thousand soldiers to the north of the city to strengthen the defense of the city gate.
Although Zhang Chong sent people to the north gate in time to strengthen his defense, when Zhang Chong's two confidant military marquis arrived, he saw more than a dozen bodies lying near the city gate. When he saw that he was close, he saw that Zhang Chong was leaving behind the soldiers guarding the city gate. The two were shocked when they saw this. One of the military marquis hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Let's take a look around, are there any survivors?"
The soldiers who followed them to the city gate immediately dispersed and began to check the bodies lying on the ground to see if there were any people who had not died. Soon, a soldier exclaimed: "Mr. Jun, there is still someone who has not died here."
The two military marquis hurriedly ran over, and saw the shouting soldiers squatting on the ground, holding a soldier covered in blood in his arms. Seeing the two military marquis coming, he hurriedly said, "Your Maiden, he has not yet died."
The two military marquis were anxious to know what was going on here, and did not ask the military doctor to come over, so they couldn't wait to ask the wounded soldier: "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
The dying wounded soldier opened his eyes and saw two military marquis squatting beside him, and he said intermittently: "Li...Li...Da...Sima...lead people to kill... and kill..." Before he could finish his words, he turned his head and completely cut off.
Although the wounded soldiers did not finish their words, the two military marquis knew in their hearts that Li Jue had led people out of the city gate. The two had different opinions on whether to chase them. One advocated chasing them immediately, while the other said that they did not know how many soldiers and horses Li Jue had under his command, so they rashly chased them. Once they were ambushed, they would not only fail to make contributions, but also likely to lose their lives.
The two had arguing for a long time. Just when they were about to send someone to report to Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong had already rushed to the north gate. Seeing a pile of corpses lying on the ground, Zhang Chong felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He hurriedly asked the two military marquis: "Have you seen Li Jue?"
"When you go back to the lieutenant," the two military marquis quickly replied: "According to a wounded soldier, Li Jue led his men to kill the city gate defenders and had escaped from the Meiwu."
"How many people are under Li Jue?" Zhang Chong asked with a straight face: "Where are they going?"
The two military marquis shook their heads at the same time and said, "I don't know. The wounded soldier was already dead before he finished speaking. Therefore, I don't know how many people Li Jie's subordinates were, and where they went after leaving the city."
Zhang Chong raised his whip and whipped at the two military marquises: "You two bastards, there are a few people left by Li Jue at this moment, so why don't you go to chase after him quickly. If Li Jue leaves, you will come and see you."
Seeing Zhang Chong getting angry, the two military marquis did not dare to neglect, so they hurriedly took their men out of the north gate. But when they arrived outside the city, they looked at the darkness around them, and they could not tell where Li Jue had fled. One of the military marquis said, "I said brother, if Li Jue leaves, I will definitely be beheaded by the captain when I go back. Why don't we take the opportunity to escape."
"Escape?" Hearing his companion say this, another military man asked curiously: "Where should we escape?"
"It's better to go to Hongnong to join Zhang Ji." The Junhou said: "He has no grudges with the soldiers and horses of Jizhou in the past. I believe that even if we escape, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will not come to Hongnong to ask for people."
After weighing the pros and cons, the other military marquis nodded and said, "What you said is that if we return to the city, we will definitely be beheaded by Captain Zhang. It would be better to go to Hongnong to join General Zhang Ji. Not only can he save his life, he may also arrange a position for my brothers for a half-time position." After the two of them made up, they immediately led their subordinates to Hongnong and joined Zhang Ji.
While Zhang Chong was waiting for his subordinates to chase Li Jue in the city, Feng Er, Henzi and others rushed to Guo Si's mansion with their troops and found that there was a melee here and quickly entered the battle.
Feng Er waved the weapons in his hand and kept chopping down Guo Si's men who were blocking him, and shouted loudly: "General, General, where are you?"
Although Guo Si's subordinates were less than a hundred people left, they were all Guo Si's confidants. Because their lord was killed by Wu Xi, they would rather sacrifice their lives than get rid of Wu Xi. Therefore, although Wu Xi had many people, they fought in the mansion for nearly an hour, but they still did not decide the outcome.
But as Feng Er and the new force led by Henzi arrived, Guo Si's resistance became weaker and weaker. In less than a stick of incense, they all fell into a pool of blood. After Feng Er and Henzi met, they both asked each other: "Have you ever seen the general?" Seeing that the other party shook their heads and said they didn't know, they grabbed the other soldiers and asked, "Have you ever seen the general?"
Guo Si died and Li Jue fled. The defenders loyal to them in the city were headless. Faced with the joint encirclement and suppression of the Jizhou army and the inner responders in the city, they knew that it would be meaningless to continue to fight, so they began to surrender.
