Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 89
"Stop! Block me!"

Hu Sichun tried his best to command the troops, trying to repel the Wei army rushing to the gaps everywhere.

However, many sections of the city wall collapsed, and it was inevitable that one would lose sight of the other.

Holding a steel knife, Gao Aocao took the lead. He climbed over the ruined walls, slashing left and right, killing no one around him who dared to approach him again.

"Don't squeeze! Don't push me!"

The Anchang garrison, who was facing Gao Aocao, shouted angrily behind him, but when he turned his head, he saw Gao Aocao slashing at him with a knife. He was so frightened that he raised his knife to block.

When the swords met, there was a harsh clang, a huge force struck, the big knife was released from his hand, a broken knife cut across his neck, blood flowed profusely, although he lost his breath, at least he kept his head.

It turned out that Gao Aocao fought for too long, the steel knife was full of cracks, just now he swung the opponent's weapon away with brute force, but his own steel knife was also broken in two, a beheading blow would be cut throat.

"His knife is broken! Come on! Come on!"

Seeing that Gao Aocao had only a broken knife, the Anchang garrison shouted and kept pushing the comrades in front to charge.

Gao Aocao simply discarded the broken knife, clasped the corpse that had not yet fallen to the ground with both hands, shouted loudly, and brandished the man as a weapon.

The defenders couldn't get close for a while, but Gao Aocao's followers quickly protected him, Gao Aocao threw the corpse out, and even knocked down an Anchang defender by the way.

Gao Aocao took the opportunity to change a big knife, once again passed the crowd and rushed forward.

This time, none of the defenders dared to look at him more, either knelt down and begged for mercy, or turned around and ran away.

But he actually still has the strength to lead his troops to continue hunting.

Gao Cheng saw this scene from afar and was greatly shocked.

It is said that Gao Ao, Cao Ma Zhan Wushuang, did not expect Bu Zhan to be treated as a human being.

With this little Xiang Yu as the vanguard under his command, it is so easy to defeat the enemy.

This section of the city wall was completely lost, and Wei Jun followed Gao Aocao's footsteps and poured in continuously.

Gao Cheng knew it well: the three thorns have been fixed!
With the mob recruited by Hu Sichun and Dugu Ruyuan, once the city wall is breached, there will be no street fighting.

Hu Sichun also saw this truth clearly. Just as he was about to evacuate, an officer had already quietly touched behind him.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the back of his heart. Looking back, the officer stabbed him from behind with a short knife.

Hu Sichun remembered that this person, one of the 800 people who followed him southward, was a servant of Qinghe Palace, named Zheng Quan.

It was the secret agent who was coerced at the beginning.

Hu Sichun's pupils were full of panic, how could he die here!

He even thought about abandoning the city and defecting to Xiaoliang, and start a big business in the south again.

Zheng Quan stirred the broken knife, while twisting Dendrobium Sichun's internal organs, he leaned into his ear and said with a grinning grin:
"Your Majesty ordered me to send my regards to the servant Hu Si!"

Half a month after the siege, Zheng Quan had already contacted the Wei army outside the city.

Gao Cheng was worried that Hu Sichun would escape again, so he asked him to find a chance to end this disaster.

After all, under the shocked eyes of the people around him, Zheng Quan drew out his dagger, cut off Hu Sichun's neck with his backhand, held his head high and shouted:
"Everyone disobeyed the destiny because of his coercion. The prince of Bohai is well-known, and he must be able to understand your difficulties. Why don't you quickly demote the officers and soldiers and return to your hometown as soon as possible!"

The people around looked at each other and hesitated a little.

Seeing this, Zheng Quan continued to shout:

"I am a general under the command of the crown prince, and I was ordered to lie in wait for the sole purpose of killing Hu Sichun. Now that Hu Sichun is dead, do you still want to resist and do the same thing as a mantis!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a bang, and someone dropped the weapon.

This move seemed to be contagious, and everyone threw up their arms and surrendered.

In the south of Anchang City, Yang Zhong led six horses and hurriedly found Dugu to fulfill his wish.

"Duke Ming, the city wall is lost, let's run away."

Dugu sighed as he wished:

"Abandoning the East Jingzhou first, and then abandoning the South Jingzhou, what will the world think of me?"

Yang Zhong knew that he had actually moved his mind a long time ago, but he just couldn't let go of this face, otherwise why would he have sent his family members to Jiangling with Hu Sichun before Gao Cheng's troops came to Anchang to avoid disaster.

So he gave a step and persuaded:

"It's shameful to run away, but it's useful. I'll temporarily live in the south of the Yangtze River, and wait for the opportunity to go to Guanzhong. He Bagong occupies Guanlong. That's where you and the people of Wuchuan can use their talents!"

Dugu fulfilling his wish seemed to be in a dilemma, but he said decisively:

"Forget it, as you say."

The master and his servants took six horses and fled in a hurry, abandoning all the troops.

Gao Cheng mainly attacked the north, and also set up cavalry on the other three sides to prevent Dugu Ruyi, Yang Zhong, and Hu Sichun from fleeing south.

He didn't expect Zheng Quanzhen to say hello to Hu Sichun for himself.

But Dugu fulfilled his wish and Yang Zhong had three horses alone, and the cavalry couldn't catch up with them, so they had to return in vain.

The land of three thorns followed Hu Sichun's death, and Dugu fled south as he wished, and it was completely pacified.

There was no fighting in Anchang City either.

Sitting in the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion, Gao Cheng only glanced at Hu Sichun's head. After confirming his identity, he ordered someone to marinate it with lime and send it to Jinyang to report victory.

"I heard that you pretended to be my general?"

Gao Cheng looked at Zheng Quan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

Zheng Quan raised his head slightly, glanced at Gao Cheng secretly, saw that his face was calm, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, and said anxiously:
"At that time, the situation was urgent, and the humble official had no choice but to do it. I also ask the prince to forgive me."

Gao Cheng laughed loudly and said:
"You have made great achievements, how can you be guilty, get up quickly."

Zheng Quan quickly stood up, and let go of his tense heart.

Gao Cheng asked loudly:

"Since you said that you are a general under my command, I will give you the post of general. What position do you have in the rebel army?"

Zheng Quan suppressed his excitement, and said in a trembling voice:

"A lowly job commits himself to the rebel army and takes up the post of the owner of the building."

After Hu Sichun occupied Jingzhou and East Jingzhou, relying on the 800 people who went south as a team of generals, he expanded his army frantically.

Gao Cheng came down, raised his hand and patted Zheng Quan's shoulder affectionately, and said:
"What's the meaning of the master of the rebel army? From now on, you will be a master of the Gyeonggi Army."

"The humble position is to thank the son for his great kindness, and is willing to work hard for the son."

Zheng Quan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and thanked him.

The military system of the Northern Wei Dynasty was chaotic, and it was roughly divided into three levels: army, buildings, and teams.

The owner of the building led a hundred soldiers, and an army of ten buildings commanded a thousand people, but it was still far inferior to the size of an army of 5000 in the early days of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Zheng Quan seems to have only been promoted from a banner master to a military leader, but the two cannot be equated. One is just a rebel banner leader with a few hundred soldiers, and the other is a military leader with a thousand soldiers in the capital.

Sending Zheng Quan away, I can't help feeling regretful, but it's a pity that Zheng Quan is not following Dugu Ruyuan and Yang Zhong.

Gao Cheng asked Gao Aocao to take a good rest, and ordered Duan Shao and Murong Shaozong to maintain law and order in the city, while he himself dealt with the aftermath with Yang Min and other civil servants.

Due to Hu Sichun and Dugu's reckless and crazy military expansion, nearly [-] men were trapped in Anchang City.

And the war between the two sides is also the time of spring plowing, and it is destined that the harvest of the three thorns this year will be greatly affected.

When Gao Cheng presented the head of Hu Sichun, he sent a letter to Gao Huan to explain the situation, so as to prepare for the relief after the autumn harvest.

Next was the issue of how to deal with the rebels in the city. For Ding Zhuang who had been forcibly conscripted, Gao Cheng ordered people to register their hometowns and send them back in batches.

As for the so-called eight hundred emperors who followed Hu Sichun to the south, as well as Dugu's private trilogy, Gao Cheng planned to escort them all to Henan.

The prosperity of Wei's mining industry still requires their blood and sweat.

Gao Cheng is not in a hurry to return to the teacher after finishing the matter. He has to wait for Gao Huan to make arrangements for Sanjing before he can leave.

　See you at nine o'clock in the evening.
