One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 398
After Qin Yi and Zhao Yun met, he introduced Guo Jia to Zhao Yun.After a brief exchange of greetings, Qin Yi asked Zhao Yun to lead the way, and led the army back along the way they had come.

The mountain road was still the same mountain road, but because of the good visibility during the day, Qin Yijun's marching speed was much faster than when they came.

The soldiers won the battle without losing a single person. Their morale was very high and they were all in high spirits.Only Guo Jia, who had just joined Qin Yi's command, was so weak that he was out of breath after not walking very far.Qin Yi gave his horse to Guo Jia to ride on.But whenever the road is difficult to walk, Guo Jia still has to dismount and walk.

It was already mid-afternoon when Qin Yi and Zhao Yun led the army back to the temporary barracks.To Qin Yi's surprise, only Pei Ji led a hundred soldiers to stay in the barracks to guard the horses.

"Where are Yuan Shao, Hua Xiong and the other soldiers?" Seeing this strange situation, Qin Yi asked Pei Ji.

"My lord, Hua Xiong has already led the rest of the brothers to enter Guangchang City. If it wasn't for waiting for the lord and Zilong, I would have already entered the city." Pei Ji said.

Qin Yi was overjoyed: "Hua Xiong has captured Guangchang City! How did he do it?"

Pei Jidao: "Speaking of this matter, I really admire Hua Xiong. That guy looks stupider than me, but he is actually very thoughtful. Around noon, the scouts came to report that many civilians had fled back to Guangchang. Then Guan Yu led about 400 people to leave Guangchang and hurried south.

"Hua Xiong immediately asked me to take a few brothers to the official road to arrest some civilian husbands. After asking, I found out that the lord had burned Liu Bei's army rations. Hua Xiong personally brought a hundred brothers, pretending to be civilian husbands, but hiding them with him. Weapons, deceived the gate of Guangchang City. A certain rate of the remaining brothers immediately killed and captured Guangchang City."

Pei Ji's description was very rough, but Qin Yi had already understood what happened.Hua Xiong is using tricks to earn money!His opinion of Hua Xiong also changed.This person is rough but fine, he is not only a fierce general, but also a strategic general.If he is cultivated carefully, Hua Xiong may grow into an independent general in time.

"Is it a big loss, brothers?" Qin Yi asked with concern.

Pei Ji shook his head and said: "There are only [-] soldiers left behind in Guangchang City, and only a few dozen people stationed at the city gate. Hua Xiong easily captured the city gate. Somebody will lead a large force to kill those Guangchang City soldiers." The soldiers dispersed in a hurry. After this battle, only a few brothers in our army suffered some flesh wounds. Except for the one hundred brothers led by Hua Xiong who had contact with the enemy, the brothers led by a certain No blood was seen.”

"Hahaha, that's great! Hua Xiong did a great job!" Qin Yi was finally relieved and couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, how is the battle on your side?" Pei Ji asked Qin Yi again.

Qin Yi smiled proudly: "We burned all the military supplies that Liu Bei escorted without losing a single soldier."

"It's no wonder that Guan Yu led his troops away from the city and went south. It turned out that the lord did the trick." Pei Ji suddenly realized.

At this moment, a scout arrived and reported to Qin Yi: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led their troops back to Guangchang and are now confronting Colonel Hua."

"Did they ever attack the city?" Qin Yi was startled and asked immediately.

"When I came back, I hadn't attacked the city yet."

Zhao Yun, who was standing beside Qin Yi, said, "Second brother, Liu Guanzhang's troops must have been exhausted after walking nearly thirty miles. I don't think they will be able to attack the city in a short time."

Pei Ji also said: "Even if they attack the city immediately, we are not afraid. Hua Xiong has led nearly a thousand troops to garrison Guangchang. Liu Bei only has so many troops and horses. He cannot attack Guangchang."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The account cannot be calculated like this. Guangchang City was originally owned by Liu Bei. He has been running Guangchang for several months. I heard that this person loves the people very much. , and we have just captured Guangchang, the people in the city must be somewhat hostile to us. I am not afraid of Liu Bei attacking the city, but I am afraid that the people in the city will cooperate with him internally and externally."

Since Guo Jia came back, he sat on the ground resting in a disfigured manner.Hearing Qin Yi's analysis at this time, he said: "Your Majesty is too worried! A certain person lived in Guangchang for six or seven days and is very familiar with the situation in the city. Then Liu Bei was appointed by Gongsun Zan as the county magistrate of Guangchang only two years ago." For many months, he was also an outsider with no roots. Furthermore, Gongsun Zan rationed grain from Guangchang, and just after the summer harvest, Liu Bei expropriated a large amount of grain from the people, and the people complained extremely about him.

"If it weren't for this, when the Fujun raided Liu Bei's grain team, those peasants wouldn't have fled. The Fujun doesn't have to worry about the people of Guangchang City cooperating with Qin Yi."

Qin Yi thought for a while and said, "No matter what, we should rush to Guangchang as soon as possible to help Huaxiong defend the city!"

Zhao Yun nodded: "Alright, we have horses to ride, and we can reach Guangchang in half an hour."

"Let the brothers rest for a while and eat some dry food to fill their stomachs. After three quarters of an hour, the whole army will leave the camp!" Qin Yi ordered.

………………

Time passed quickly, and three quarters of an hour flew by.When the soldiers had eaten and drank enough, they immediately packed up the camp.

The camp is very simple, there is not much luggage, and it is quickly packed up.The soldiers who followed Qin Yi to the south also had horses to ride when they returned.They gathered up the tent and tied it to the horses.After that, he followed Qin Yi to Guangchang City.

When the sun was about to set, Qin Yi led his army to the west gate of Guangchang City.There is no Liu Beijun army here, only a small team of 30 people, monitoring the city gate.

Seeing a large group of troops coming to Guangchang, that team immediately fled towards the south gate.

Qin Yi also concluded from this that Liu Bei's main force was all outside the south gate.Liu Bei only had 1000 or [-] people at this time, and it was true that he could not encircle Guangchang.

Seeing that Qin Yi had arrived, the defenders immediately opened the city gate and welcomed Qin Yi's army into the city.

Qin Yi ordered Zhao Yun to lead [-] soldiers to guard the rear, while the remaining soldiers filed into the city.

Qin Yi thought that when Liu Bei learned that his army was entering the city, he would take the opportunity to send troops to the west gate to seize the city gate. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei's army never showed up.All the vigilant soldiers led by Zhao Yun entered the city.

When Hua Xiong heard that Qin Yi led his army into the city, he immediately rushed to the west gate to meet Qin Yi.

"Zhongjie, well done! You are the first to send troops to Hebei!" As soon as he saw Hua Xiong, Qin Yi patted Hua Xiong on the shoulder and gave him the best evaluation.

Hua Xiong burst into a big smile: "My lord has won the prize. If it wasn't for my lord's ingenious plan to lure most of the square city defenders out of the city, leaving the city empty, I would not have been able to take this city. This battle depends entirely on my lord's strategizing. Hua's insignificant achievements are insignificant!"

Yo, this guy has learned to be humble!Well, not bad, his former madness is no longer visible, this is a good sign!
