The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 246 Chapter 245
Duan Yan came to Guo Bang's military tent with a friendly expression on his face, and once he entered the big tent, he cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "General Guo, are you okay here?"

With a straight face, Guo Si said coldly: "Thanks to General Duan, at least until now, no one has lost arms or legs..."

Duan Yan knew that Guo Si was still angry about his refusal to send troops last time, so he hurriedly said: "General Guo, I'm really sorry about what happened last time. In fact, I was also very embarrassed. General Guo asked me to send troops to help. The general also asked me to send troops to help, I am in a dilemma, it is not good to offend anyone, and the only thing is that the two will not help each other, I hope General Guo can understand."

Guo Si waved his hand and said: "Let him go about the past, don't mention it again. General Duan, you didn't come here just to talk to me about the past, did you?"

Duan Yan said: "General Guo is smart, I'm really not here to catch up on the past, but to report something important."

Guo Si said: "Important matter? What important matter can you have? Is it possible that you have figured it out and want to help me deal with Li Jue? Or, you want to help Li Jue deal with me. Or, do you want to persuade peace?"

Duan Yan replied decisively: "Neither of them!"

Guo Si felt suspicious and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"To be honest, I intercepted an imperial decree in Huayin. This imperial decree was for Li Jue, but the content of this imperial decree is..." Duan Yu stopped abruptly when he said this, "It counts." Let’s ask General Guo to see it for himself!”

As he spoke, Duan Yan took out an imperial decree from his bosom and handed it directly to Guo Bang.

When Guo Si opened it, his face changed drastically. At first, he had a slight thought of reconciling with Li Jue, but it disappeared immediately.

"Li Jue is so hateful! Anyway, I was a brother with him, I never thought he would treat me in such a way! It's really annoying!" Guo Bang was furious, and immediately tore the imperial decree in his hand to pieces!

Seeing this, Duan Yan had reached his expectations, so he acted according to circumstances, adding fuel and vinegar to the side, making Guo Si's anger even more angry, and he wanted to immediately gather troops and go to Li Jue to settle the score!
However, he was persuaded by Duan Yan, saying that he was going to Li Jue to find out, and then came back to inform Guo Si.

Guo Si had no strong generals under his command, so he agreed to Duan Yao's request, and even more timely drew Duan Yan into his front.Duan Yanyang violated Yin Yin, and on the surface promised Guo Si to send troops to help, but in fact he had other plans.

Duan Yan left Guo Si's barracks and came to Li Jue's barracks again, and told Li Jue about the situation of Guo Bang's barracks, and suggested that Li Jue attack Guo Bang's barracks at night, and he returned to Huayin In the name of leading the army to help, he left Li Jue's barracks again.

Afterwards, Duan Yan went to Guo Bang's camp again, and told Guo Bang that Li Jue was going to attack the camp tonight, and asked Guo Bang to be ready, but he left Guo Bang's camp on the grounds that he would return to Huayin to bring troops to help. camp.

Li Jue and Guo Si were coaxed around by Duan Yan, and the two of them were at war with each other, preparing for the battle tonight.

Duan Yao soon left Huaili and went all the way east, just in time to meet Mi Fang and others who quietly led the army, and told Mi Fang about his strategy.

After hearing this, Mi Fang asked: "General Duan's ingenious plan is really clever. However, I am a little puzzled, since General Duan has already made a night attack plan with Li Jue, why does it take so much trouble to tell Guo Si instead?" ?”

Duan Yan said: "The general doesn't know something. Li Jue is brave and good at fighting. He has several generals under his command. Although there are not many troops, they are all fierce. If he destroys Guo Si and annexes Guo Si's old troops, we will It is a bit difficult to deal with it. However, Guo Si has no strong generals, and although there are many troops, they are not as elite as Li Jue. I did this to prepare each other and then start fighting. In this way, the two are bound to meet The fight is inextricable, and at that time, our army will take advantage of the chaos to fight out, we can defeat them all, and we will be able to win the pass in one battle."

Mi Fang smiled and said: "I can't tell, General Duan is still a talented general. After taking the heads of Li Jue and Guo Si, the two rebellious officials and thieves, and pacifying Guanzhong, I will definitely replace General Duan in front of the general. A few nice words."

Duan Yan said happily: "Thank you, General!"

Mi Fang said: "Okay, you return to the team for the time being, take your army, follow my army, stay in Huaili, follow my command everything, this time we must catch Li Jue and Guo Si all in one go!"

"Here!"

Duan Yan left with a happy face, Yuan Huan looked at Duan Yan's sly face, and said to Mi Fang: "General, Duan Yan is suspicious by nature, and today he rebelled against Li Jue and Guo Si for the sake of glory and wealth. Day may also rebel against our army. Although this person has some schemes, he is still the generation of jackals. After a long time, I am afraid that he will bite people. Why not plan to remove this person and cut him off in advance? The danger to Guanzhong, otherwise If not, there will be endless troubles.”

Kan Ze said, "That's what I mean too!"

After Mi Fang heard this, she waved her hand and said, "Duan Yan has taken refuge in the lord with sincerity. If I kill him, I'm afraid the lord will not be able to explain it. Let's put this matter here for now. After I write to ask the lord, the lord will take care of him." Make a decision."

Yuan Huan and Kan Ze looked at each other, said nothing more, and said in unison: "Here!"

The army continued to move forward, and Mi Fang sent a scout battalion to the front to find out the news, and at the same time pulled out the enemy's secret whistle, so as not to startle the enemy.

The bodyguards are already the elite of the army, and the members of the scout battalion are the elite among the elite. They are responsible for investigating the enemy's situation, and some even engage in some sabotage work behind the enemy's rear. Moreover, the communication method between them is also very special. , using very difficult bird language, that is, to convey information through bird calls.Even if you are accidentally caught by the enemy, you will never reveal any information. Usually, you will end your life to protect the secret information.

After Zhang Yan's military system reform, there will be a scout battalion in each army. This time Mi Fang's soldiers entered Guanzhong, and Zhang Yan sent all the elite of the first army over, which shows how much he attaches importance to this entry into Guanzhong.

Another thing to explain is that the scout battalion in the army does not belong to the same system as the scouts under Xu Sheng's jurisdiction. Although they are both called scouts, the scout battalion is only subordinate to the army, while the scouts under Xu Sheng's jurisdiction are only subordinate Zhang Yan's secret service agency has only a few hundred people, and they are all partners who Xu Sheng rescued from the Futu Temple.In order to distinguish between the two, Zhang Yan imitated the name of the Ming Dynasty and euphemistically named it Jinyiwei.

Of course, this Jinyiwei is just a name to distinguish the scout battalion subordinate to the army, not the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Jinyiwei established by Zhang Yan, in addition to the mission of spying on the enemy and destroying the enemy's rear, just like the scouts, some of the Jinyiwei who stayed in Pengcheng were also engaged in the task of monitoring officials.

The Jinyiwei, as before, is directly responsible to Xu Sheng, the captain of the city gate and General Zhenwei, and Xu Sheng is directly responsible to Zhang Yan. For this reason, Zhang Yan also specially gave Xu Sheng another official position, the commander of Jinyiwei. .

Closer to home, the scout battalion sent by Mi Fang has completed the task assigned by Mi Fang very well, pulling out many secret sentries along the way, and the army was able to secretly march towards Huaili.But Li Jue and Guo Si, who were in Huaili City, didn't know all this.

That night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Li Jue assembled all the soldiers and horses, took his nephew Li Li, and several generals under his command, quietly left the camp, and headed towards Guo Si's camp in the west of Huaili City.

According to the defense of Guo Bang's troops that Duan Yan had probed, Li Jue led his army to the outside of the barracks quietly, and then gave an order, and the army rushed directly into Guo Bang's camp like a tiger.

However, what is strange is that there is no one in Guo Si's camp.

Li Jue immediately felt that he had been fooled, and immediately ordered to withdraw, but it was too late at this moment, the camp was surrounded by fire, and Guo Bang led his subordinates to light torches to block the entire camp.

"Hahaha... Li Jue, you can't escape even if you have wings today! Kill me!" Guo Si was very happy, and immediately ordered to attack.

The archers shot arrows one after another, and many infantrymen threw torches into the camp. As soon as the torches touched the tents, they immediately ignited.

In order to be able to kill Li Jue, Guo Si spent a lot of money this time, filling the entire camp with flammable items, waiting for Li Jue to lead his army to kill them, so that he could catch them all.

When the fire started, Li Jue panicked immediately, thinking that he would fall into Guo Bang's words. At this moment, he seemed to understand, and began to scold Duan Yan, thinking that this was a trick that Duan Yan and Guo Bang set up for him. Waiting for him to jump into the fire pit.

However, Li Jue was not reconciled. He immediately gathered five hundred cavalrymen, holding a long spear, led them, and killed them together towards the gate of the village.

However, Guo Si's army fired all their bows and crossbows, arrows flew wildly, and the gate of the village was sealed with great fire. Li Jue and others could not break through, and wandered around in the camp. When it comes to the raging fire, you can't get out no matter what.

There were screams in the camp, and the fire had swept through the entire camp. Li Jue's army was almost completely destroyed by the fire. Only Li Jue and others were left running around, but due to the tight defense of Guo Si's army, they couldn't fight.

Guo Si rode a tall horse, stood on a high hill, and watched the situation in the camp with all his attention. When he saw Li Jue in such a state of embarrassment that he was about to be buried in the sea of ​​flames, he was immediately overjoyed.

However, at this moment, a sharp arrow pierced the sky and flew out of the darkness. With a sound of "嗖", it shot directly at Guo Bang, who had a happy face. The arrow pierced his throat, and Guo Bang screamed. With a sound, he fell off the horse immediately, twitched a few times on the ground, and died.

The sudden appearance of this scene shocked everyone. Guo Si died tragically in an instant. Before many people figured out what was going on, they heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from behind, all of them were like tigers and leopards. The soldiers killed them and surrounded Guo Bang's army.
