Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Siege of Wuguan
In the early morning of the next day, Han Wu made all the preparations and led [-] infantry and cavalry to Wuguan. This force was not enough to conquer Xiongguan.

But Han Wu's goal was not to attack by force. The Jizhou army was short of troops, so he didn't want to fight Xu Rong, the guard of Wuguan.

Their food and grass are not much, as long as their food and grass are cut off, then the Jizhou army can force them to leave the customs.

"Feng Xiao, it is said that today there is great chaos in the allied forces of the princes. Many princes are condemning Yuan Shao. I don't know what is the matter?"

Han Wu asked Guo Jia, Guo Jia naturally followed the army to Wuguan, and the siege of Wuguan required Guo Jia, a think tank.

Hearing the lord's question, Guo Jia suddenly smiled, and then showed a confident and proud smile.

"My lord, maybe you haven't heard the news yet. Yuan Kai's family was wiped out by an assassin, and the two assassins who died on the spot secretly left evidence that the murderer was Yuan Shao."

"The person who did this is Li Ru. He can be regarded as a drug official, and this matter has been done very well. The news has already spread."

"The current Yuan Shao, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to clean up. In addition, Yuan Kai passed the family business to Yuan Shu before, and Yuan Shao was pushed to the forefront."

Guo Jia said lightly, this matter was definitely conspired by Guo Jia, and Han Wu can guarantee it.

But the executor might not be Guo Jia, after all, this place is too far away from Luoyang, maybe Guo Jia is borrowing a knife to kill someone.

"Hey! Unexpectedly, you are quite shady, I think the next plan should be a scheming plan to persuade Xu Rong to surrender?"

Han Wu said something lightly, but Guo Jia shook his head slightly after hearing it. He didn't agree with Han Wu's words.

"My lord, if you want to recruit Xu Rong, I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible to just use scheming. After all, Xu Rong has experienced many battles, so it's not easy to persuade him to surrender directly."

"And this person is very loyal to Dong Zhuo. If this person is not completely disappointed with Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that he will not be able to recruit him."

"We need a lobbyist with better eloquence, and we need to capture Xu Rong alive once, and then we need the lord to do a little trick."

Guo Jia smiled confidently again. He seemed to have a plan to take down Wuguan and Xu Rong easily.

There are [-] elite cavalry from the Xiliang Army in Wuguan, plus [-] new infantry. It is almost impossible to take it by force.

Moreover, if it is a strong attack, even if the entire army is wiped out, they will not be able to capture Wuguan, but the opponent's weakness is also obvious.

As long as all the supplies of food and grass in Wuguan are cut off, for this huge army, there will basically be internal chaos.

The bigger the monster, the more obvious its weakness, and food and grass happened to be the biggest weakness of Xu Rong's team.

With Huaxiong's defeat and Lu Bu's repulsion, the Xiliang Army's troop strength tends to move westward, and Xu Rong is now considered a lone army.

There was almost no food and grass supplies, and coupled with the tension of being besieged, if Xu Rong were to play tricks again, I was afraid that Xu Rong would definitely lose.

"Dian Wei! I will give you a thousand infantry. Set up camp on the east side of Wuguan. Don't rush to attack the city. Set up the ditches I taught you earlier."

"Yuwen Chengdu also gives you [-] pawns to set up camp on the west side of Wuguan. You are also not allowed to attack the city. Set up traps."

"As long as Xu Rong can't lead troops to break through, that's enough. There are still not enough troops. I just hope Xu Rong won't be too bold."

Han Wu frowned slightly. He was making a dangerous move today. After all, the [-] Jizhou army against the nearly [-] Xiliang army would definitely lose.

But his purpose was not to attack Xu Rong by force, but to use tricks to wear him down gradually, and then recruit him to surrender.

Dianwei and Yuwen Chengdu took orders one after another, and they immediately led troops to arrange the lineup, while Zhang Yun was assigned to clean up the Xiliang Army's scouts around Wuguan.

It is Han Wu's goal to completely blind the Xiliang army in Wuguan, but even so, Wuguan will still get news from other places.

As long as Xu Rong could not know the news of Dong Zhuo moving his capital to Chang'an in time, that would be enough.

Qu Yi was left behind to stabilize the Chinese Army Dazhai, and Han Wu's confidence in resisting Xu Rong was Qu Yi's group of elite soldiers.

Guo Jia deliberately found a soldier who joined the army and asked him to negotiate with Xu Rong, although this would definitely not lead to any results.

Inside Wuguan, Xu Rongjing sat in the barracks. He quietly listened to the words of the Jizhou Army lobbyist, and then smiled disdainfully.

"A mere four or five thousand Jizhou troops is like persuading me to surrender [-] Xiliang warriors? It's really ridiculous, let Han Wu, that yellow-mouthed kid, go home!"

Xu Rong waved his hand at the lobbyist, and the other generals immediately drove away the Jizhou lobbyist, and this Jizhou army member also fled away from Wuguan with his head in his arms.

Four miles away from Wuguan, in the Jizhou camp, Han Wu is sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, preparing for tonight's battle.

The Jizhou army besieged Wuguan with few people in the first place, and now it violated the taboo of military strategists to divide the troops. It is estimated that Xu Rong will attack the camp in the middle of the night.

There are 1 Xiliang warriors, although there are [-] recruits, but the [-] troops assigned to defend the city are more than enough.

Three thousand soldiers raided Han Wu's camp, which was enough to capture him alive, and Xu Rong happened to be discussing this matter in Wu Pass.

"General, I'm afraid that robbing the camp today is the best choice. Huangkou Xiaoer will only talk on paper, but if it is tomorrow, I'm afraid the main force of the Jizhou Army will arrive."

"Han Wu is Han Fu's only son after all. It's impossible for him to let his son bring such a small force. We should plan ahead."

One of Xu Rong's generals suggested to Xu Rong, Xu Rong also nodded slightly, he thought so too.

Wanting to besiege Wuguan with a force of three or four thousand is simply a dream, especially since he, Xu Rong, is guarding here.

But Xu Rong was wrong. Han Wu wanted to make a dangerous move, and his purpose was to eat Xu Rong with less troops.

With a counselor like Guo Jia, and knowing that Dong Zhuo will definitely evacuate Luoyang, Han Wu assured that Xu Rong would mess himself up.

Once Luoyang is captured by the allied forces of the princes, it means that Wuguan has become an isolated city with no way out.

"General Qu Yi, you must be prepared tonight, Xu Rong will definitely attack the camp, we will catch him by surprise."

Inside the big tent, Guo Jia said to Qu Yi, and Qu Yi nodded seriously, because tonight is absolutely important.

Dividing up the troops to besiege Wuguan was a big taboo for military strategists. Dividing up with a small number of troops is definitely a mistake.

"Okay! I also think that Xu Rong will come to rob the camp, but they have too many troops. We can definitely repel them, but it is very difficult to keep them!"

Qu Yi frowned slightly. Now Han Wu had only less than [-] elite troops, which was too small.

Although almost all of them are elite, such a force is completely unable to compete with the Xiliang Army, especially the enemy general is Xu Rong.

However, if it is to ambush the opponent, this can still be done. Once the opponent robs the camp and finds out that he has been tricked, the general will be in a mess.

"The order continues. Everyone can't sleep tonight. From now on, we will rest in batches and prepare for the battle on time at Youshi."

Han Wu immediately sent an order, and Qu Yi also ordered his soldiers to take a rest and prepare to ambush at night.

At night, Qu Yi set up all the traps, and he, Han Wu, also watched quietly from a nearby hilltop.

Dian Wei was right next to Han Wu, and Han Wu had asked Dian Wei to set up ditches nearby at first, but now it is almost done.

Moreover, Dian Wei is also going to protect Han Wu now, in fact, even Dian Wei can be regarded as a strange army.

From this small hill, Han Wu can clearly see the situation on the Wuguan side, and he can know whether there are troops coming out from the direction of Wuguan at any time.

After staring for nearly two hours, Han Wu was already very sleepy when he arrived at Choushi, but something happened in the direction of Wuguan.

Nearly [-] infantry came out of Wuguan, and they didn't seem to be veterans with many battles, almost all of them were recruits.

When Dian Wei saw this scene, he quickly woke up Han Wu, telling the lord not to sleep again, and the battle began immediately.

Han Wu's side can be said to be a blind spot in the direction of Wuguan, and they can't see the situation here at all.

"Oh? That guy Xu Rong is indeed on the move. It looks like he's going to suffer from being dumb today, hehe!"

"Dianwei, once Xu Rong is ambushed later, he will definitely retreat immediately. Then you will lead my team of cavalry to rush over."

"It is enough to leave me 50 people to protect me. Remember to capture as many enemy troops as possible. Those are recruits and can be surrendered."

Han Wu ordered Dian Wei to say something, and Han Wu had already sent scouts to inform Yuwen Chengdu to come over, and he also responded.

It's just that Han Wu really doesn't know where Yuwen Chengdu is now, after all Yuwen Chengdu seems to be very cautious.

Dian Wei immediately took the order, ordered fifty of the strongest veterans to protect Han Wu, and the others were ready to charge.

Outside the Jizhou camp, Xu Rong had already touched the location more than ten meters away from the camp. He squinted and saw that the guards of the Jizhou camp were sleeping.

Xu Rong couldn't help sneering, he thought to himself that a child is a child, and after all, he couldn't lead soldiers to fight.

Dispersion of troops is already a big taboo for military strategists, and now even the soldiers of the camp are lazy and asleep, Xu Rong seems to have seen himself capture Han Wu alive.

"Everyone, rush in with me and capture Han Wuzhe alive, and the bounty is 100 taels!"

Xu Rong yelled directly, and then rode his horse towards the Jizhou camp, and the soldiers behind him also shouted.

With heavy rewards, there must be brave men. These recruits are almost all real people from Sili, not Xiliang veterans who have experienced many battles.

They rushed into the Jizhou camp without any rules, but they were all taken aback because there was no one there.

Xu Rong suddenly thought something was wrong, but when he saw that the soldiers on duty in the camp turned out to be scarecrows, his heart sank.

"Not good! It's been tricked! Everyone evacuate quickly and retreat to Wuguan!"

Xu Rong was shocked. He concluded that he must have been tricked. This is an empty camp, and he was afraid there might be an ambush.

"Hahaha! General Xu Rong, Qu Yi of a certain family, have been waiting here for a long time! Let the arrows go!"

Archers suddenly appeared around the camp, and they shot and killed Xu Rong's soldiers one after another.

All the soldiers rushed away with their heads in their hands, and Xu Rong hurriedly rode his horse and galloped towards Wuguan.

Dian Wei was also dispatched at this time, and he led [-] cavalry to rush towards Xu Rong's defeated army, scaring Xu Rong's army into disorder before rushing over.

But at this moment, flames appeared in Wuguan, which made Han Wu suddenly slightly curious, and turned his head to look at Guo Jia who was grinning badly.

The situation inside Wuguan must be caused by Guo Jia, and the fire looks like the grain and grass in Wuguan have been burned!
