Xue Rengui understood that Guo Jia's purpose in proposing to get rid of Huo Jun and Xiahoulan was to test himself and let himself be accepted into the nomination, if he refused, it would inevitably arouse Guo Jia's suspicions, so that this plan to invite Jun into the urn would be abandoned, so he immediately agreed: "If the two of them refuse to follow me to abandon the secret and surrender to the light, they will naturally be ruthless."
Not long after, the two thousand descendants under the command of Yu Ban had all come to gather in front of the Taishou Mansion, and Song Qi and Chen Teng also led their headquarters of 800 soldiers to arrive in a queue, ready to follow Xue Rengui to abandon the secret and surrender to the Ming, rebel against the Han and surrender to Wei, but the partial general Xu Luo was missing.
Xue Rengui put a red rabbit horse under his crotch, carried a thunder green dragon halberd in his hand, and immediately struck a halberd in front of the Taishou Mansion, loudly announcing the reason for his rebellion: "In terms of merit, I Xue Rengui is second to none in the Han Dynasty, but now he has fallen into such a field, his son was killed, and his wife was forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well.
Yu Ban shouted beside him: "General Xue is Liu Wei's brother-in-law, and he still ends up like this, I will wait for a little worse in the future, and the end will definitely be even more miserable, so I will follow General Xue tonight to abandon the darkness and surrender to the Great Wei."
Song Qi, Chen Teng and other partial generals drew their swords in their hands and echoed loudly: "Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, return to the Great Wei, and eradicate the tyrant Liu Wei, whoever dares not to obey will be beheaded and will not be pardoned."
More than half of the nearly 4,000 people present were descendants who had followed Yu Ban, Song Qi and others who had been born and died for many years, and even if the remaining small part was unwilling to follow Xue Rengui to rebel against the Han, but looking at the bright thunder and green dragon halberd in Xue Rengui's hand, they didn't dare to stand up against it, and they raised their weapons in response: "We are willing to follow General Xue to revolt and overthrow the tyrant Liu Wei."
Guo Jia keenly noticed that Xu Luo's shadow was missing, and asked Song Qi and Chen Teng with a sword in his hand: "Where did the general who came with the two of you go?"
Song Qi and Chen Teng both shook their heads: "We each went back to the camp to order troops, but we didn't see his shadow."
Yu Ban suddenly had an epiphany, stomped his feet and said to Xue Rengui: "I'm afraid that Xu Luo will go back to report to Huo Jun and Xiahou Lan, and you and my brother will quickly divide our troops to arrest the two, so as not to be organized by the two of them to resist." ” "Wen Ze will arrest Huo Jun, and I will arrest Xiahoulan" It is not the same as forbidding talking, Xue Rengui has already urged the red rabbit horse under his crotch, waved the green dragon halberd in his hand, and ordered Song Qi and Chen Teng to follow him to arrest Xiahoulan, "Soldiers, come with me" Guo Jia hurriedly turned over and got on his horse and gave Yu Ban a look: "You go to arrest Huo Jun, and I will follow General Xue to arrest Xiahoulan." ” Yu Ban understood that Guo Jia's purpose was to spy on Xue Rengui, so he immediately picked up his gun and mounted his horse, and led two thousand descendants to the military camp to arrest Huo Jun, "The soldiers come with me, and Huo Jun is leaving." ” The quiet and peaceful night was disrupted by the footsteps one after another, the whole Xuchang city was full of chickens and dogs, the streets and alleys were filled with the sound of dogs barking, the people who did not know what was going on closed their doors, every household covered the windows, and even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and they did not know what happened The news of Xue Rengui's rebellion has spread rapidly in the army, and many soldiers who are unwilling to join the same stream have begun to flee, after all, Xue Rengui is powerful and the main general of the three armies, and resistance can only be a dead end, so they only have one way to flee except to follow the traitor to Wei.
Xuchang City, which was already noisy, was even more noisy, the sound of people shouting and neighing horses shook the sky, and the bright torches lit up the night sky.
In addition to the barking of dogs, the cattle and sheep of every household also began to bark, as if in the moment before the earthquake.
Of course, for the military and civilians of Xuchang, the news of Xue Rengui's rebellion was no less than an earthquake Xue Rengui carried the green dragon halberd in his hand, urged the red rabbit horse under his crotch, and led the five hundred soldiers straight to the camp, and the soldiers who were not embarrassed to flee along the way, let them escape from the four gates, with only one goal of capturing Xiahoulan.
When a group of men and horses came to the front of the camp gate, they collided with Xiahou Lan who was riding a horse and whipping, and Xue Rengui shook the green dragon halberd in his hand and blocked Xiahou Lan's way: "Brother Xiahou, Liu Wei is brutal and ruthless, and the general has already decided to openly crusade.
At the beginning, you turned your back on Wei and surrendered to Han, but now if you are willing to return to Wei with me, you will definitely be welcomed by the Emperor of Great Wei.
Xiahoulan clenched the spear in his hand and sneered: "Xue Rengui, since I, Xiahoulan, have returned to the Han Dynasty, I have to be loyal to the court, how can I be the villain who is only dying today."
Xue Rengui laughed loudly: "Haha, it's really unashamed, if you are a loyal minister, why did you betray Wei again?"
"I worked for Cao Mengde only because he was a courtier of the Han Dynasty, but I didn't expect Cao Thief to become self-reliant later.
Even if there is no arrest outside Xuchang City, I, Xiahoulan, will return to the Han Dynasty sooner or later, now that I have lost my way, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death, and betray again, which will make the world laugh in vain" Xiahoulan was not afraid, holding a spear, and looked at death as if he were home.
"Since you are so stubborn, I will give your head to the Great Wei Emperor as a greeting gift" Xue Li snorted, urged the horse to stand up, and killed Xiahou Lan like lightning, the thunder green dragon halberd in his hand flashed with golden light, like a green dragon diving, and the momentum was terrifying.
Xia Houlan roared and waved her gun to parry: "The eldest husband would rather die" Before the words fell, the guns and halberds intersected, rubbing a dazzling spark in the dark night, and at the same time a loud sound of "duh" broke out, the spear in Xia Houlan's hand was bent and flew out of his hand, and the cold and sharp green dragon halberd instantly tore Xia Houlan's throat, and blood spurted out instantly.
"I, Xiahou, would rather die than surrender" Xia Houlan fell from her horse with an upside-down onion, clutching her throat and wailing in pain, and after a few struggles, she kicked her legs and died.
Xue Rengui turned over and dismounted, took out his saber and cut Xiahou Lan's head and hung it in front of the horse: "This head is even a gift from my Xue Rengui to the Emperor of Great Wei."
Guo Jia, who had been hiding in the dark to observe, never dreamed that Xiahoulan, a rebel general, would be martyred for Liu Wei, which was really unexpected.
But Xue Rengui was ruthless when he made a move, and he didn't drag the mud and water, but the last doubt in Guo Jia's heart disappeared, "Seeing Xue Rengui make such a ruthless move, it seems that he has a deep hatred for Liu."
At this moment, a scout came to report quickly: "General Xue, Huo Jun escaped from the north gate, General Yu Ban is leading people to follow and chase, and let the villain come to inform the general to go out of the city from the west gate to intercept." ” "Come with me, Hugh is going to leave Huo Jun" Xue Rengui shouted, lifted the reins suddenly, turned the horse's head and galloped towards the west gate.
Guo Jia hurriedly clamped his legs on the belly of the mount under his crotch, raised the horse whip in his hand, and followed the team out of the west gate from a distance to see how Xue Rengui would treat Huo Jun The people in Xuchang City shouted and neighed, and the outside of the city was also a mess, full of fleeing soldiers, and the bright torches flickered in the wilderness, like fireflies in the autumn wilderness.
Xue Rengui took the lead, and after leaving the west gate of Xuchang, he chased along the post road to the north, turning his head from time to time to peek, and found that Guo Jia was still following the horse from a distance, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This Guo Jia is really difficult, it seems that he has not fully believed in my surrender, I should behave again."
As soon as he thought of this, Xue Rengui quietly slowed down, so as not to drop Guo Jia too far, and at the same time hung the green dragon halberd on the saddle, picked up thousands of miles of clouds and smoke with his backhand, and galloped wildly with a shout: "Huo Jun is leaving, if Xue Rengui is here to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, spare you from dying, otherwise Hugh blames me for being ruthless under the arrow."
After a fierce pursuit, this post road finally merged with the road from the north gate of Xuchang, the sound of horses' hooves in front was noisy, and more than ten horsemen could be vaguely seen fleeing in panic, and Yu Banzheng led dozens of horses to follow and chase.
Xue Rengui rode his horse and whipped up, and soon caught up with Yu Ban and the others, and at the same time pulled the bowstring like a full moon, shaking his hand is an arrow: "Medium" With the sound of the whistling wind, the arrow from the string hit Huo Jun's shoulder, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive in the night, only to see him lying on his horse, continuing to flee desperately.
Xue Rengui slowed down and shouted: "My arrow has already hit Huo Jun's vital point, even if he can escape by chance, he will definitely not be able to support tomorrow."
The dragons in the city have no leader, in order to prevent changes, it is not appropriate to chase again, you and I should quickly pull back to the city" Yu Ban didn't have much interest in killing Huo Jun, and after listening to Xue Rengui's words, he reined in his horse and beckoned his entourage to turn his horse back to the city: "What Brother Xue said is extremely true, Huo Jun is just a partial general, it is useless to kill him, and it is imperative to return to the city to collect and surrender troops." ” At that moment, Xue Rengui and Yu Ban walked side by side, led his entourage to return to the north gate of Xuchang, ran all night, and finally settled the situation.
At dawn, more than 13,000 people were willing to follow Xue Rengui to rebel against Han and surrender to Wei, and Yu Ban and Guo Jia couldn't help but smile.
Standing at the head of Xuchang, facing the cold north wind, Xue Rengui said to Guo Jia: "Now that I have killed Huo Jun and Xiahoulan with Yu Wenze as agreed, whether to give up Xuchang or ask Your Majesty for help is all up to Guo Fengxiao to decide." ” Guo Jia clasped his arms in front of his chest, his long hair flew in the wind, and made a decision without hesitation: "Xuchang is an important town in the Central Plains, and it is not easy to get.
It can not only be a horn with Qian County, but also can go south to threaten Wancheng, and it must not be easily given up.
I will hurry up and go to Qianjun, and ask Your Majesty to send a general with a force of troops and horses to reinforce me. ” Xue Rengui arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, I and Yu Wen are waiting here for good news."
Xu Da is bound to lead his troops to counterattack Xuchang, there are few soldiers in the city, and Xue can support it for ten days at most, but he is not sure that it will be a long time. ” Guo Jia turned over his horse and said goodbye: "General Xue is in charge, rest assured, I will return to Qian County as soon as possible, three days as soon as possible, five days as late, and reinforcements will arrive." ” A war horse galloped across the wilderness, carrying Guo Jia away from Xuchang and galloping in the direction of Qiaojun, leaving only a slip of earthy yellow smoke behind him. t1706231537:
