Treacherous ministers have deep routines

After Duan Su read out the imperial edict, he had a follow-up message, saying: "General Cheqi, the owner has another edict, ordering the humble officer to bring it to General Cheqi."

Wei Man cupped his hands and said, "The humble general commands you."

Duan Su said indifferently: "The owner has an order. If General Cheqi can lead the rebel army to recapture Xuanyang City and punish Tong Gao, he promises that General Cheqi will be promoted to...a great general."

"General?!"

"It's the first general..."

"General..."

As soon as everyone heard this, they all began to discuss in low voices. Now, entering Xuanyang has almost become an inevitable route. In this way, Wei Man can be promoted to a general, that is, under one person and above ten thousand people.

Wei Man is only in his early twenties now, at a young age, he is about to be promoted to a high position. Everyone is a warlord, and all of them lead troops. When he heard the news, he was inevitably red-eyed, and everyone felt sore and flustered.

But I still have to congratulate Wei Man in terms of face.

"Congratulations, General Hussars!"

"Congratulations, General!"

"Leader, great joy!"

Everyone contorted their faces and lined up to congratulate Wei Man one by one, looking very unwilling.

Wei Man clearly saw through their faces, but he found it very useful. The more unwilling and distorted these people were, the more pleased Wei Man was.

Wei Man smiled very falsely, and said: "You don't need to be too polite, everyone is the leader of my military family, and in the future, it depends on your loyalty."

Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and agreed.

After the sudden canonization, everyone sat back in their seats, ready to continue discussing the matter of attacking Xuanyang.

Duan Su said: "My lord is already on his way to Juyang City, and he is being escorted by General Xia. Everything is safe. Please rest assured, my lord."

Wei Man nodded, and said: "Tong Gao was seriously injured, and the journey back to Xuanyang must be unpleasant. After returning, we will definitely arrange troops to guard against death. Our army must wait until Tong Gao can stabilize Xuanyang At that time, attack Xuanyang, so it is better to be fast than slow."

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads one after another, feeling that what Wei Man said made sense.

Wei Man said to Duan Su: "Mr. Duan Su, you are the most cautious, so you spread the news of Tong Gao's serious injury. The more wantonly, the better, disturbing Xuanyang's military morale, so that we can enter Xuanyang more smoothly."

Duan Su immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my lord, please rest assured."

Duan Su may not be able to play swords and guns, but few people can surpass Duan Su when it comes to dancing and writing, especially in this matter of guiding public opinion. If Duan Su ranks second, I am afraid that no one will rank first .

Only then did the matter of public opinion be arranged, and how to enter the army was arranged.

Juyang City is just to the southwest of Xuanyang, not far from Xuanyang, but there are still some small cities that need to be breached.

Because these cities are close to Xuanyang, they are all Tong Gao's cronies and soldiers, so these cities must be destroyed so that the army can enter Xuanyang without hindrance.

Everyone is rushing to be the vanguard, after all, they are just some small cities, their troops are so abundant, food and grass are also in place, these battles are simply easy to come by.

Wei Man looked at it, squinted his eyes, and said, "You don't need to argue, the lord of the alliance is going to lead the army himself."

When everyone heard this, it was all over now, and no one could take credit for it, because all credits belonged to Wei Man.

Wei Man arranged everything, so he ordered Wu Wentai and others to guard Juyang City to prevent Tong Gao's army from counterattacking. Then he rectified the army, took the army and food, and quickly moved to Xuanyang City in the north.

The army can be described as mighty and powerful, and it is coming fiercely.

Wei Man's army had already lined up neatly and stationed at the gate of the small city, just waiting to attack the city.

On the upper floor of the city gate, there were only a few scattered soldiers, and there were no extra people. The city gate wrapped in a layer of metal paint was closed tightly, and no movement could be heard in the city, as if it was a dead city, leaking everywhere. It was lifeless.

Wei Man rode on Jue Ying, silently looking at the lifeless city gate.

It was noon, and the sun was a little strong. Qiunan prefect Chen Hongye seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, squinted his eyes and urged, "Leader, why don't we attack the city! It's not a solution to waste like this." , Maybe they just want to damage our morale!"

Wei Man narrowed his eyes, but Lin Rang said, "Wait a little longer."

Chen Hongye retorted: "What are you waiting for?! If you wait like this, the morale of the army will be gone. If there is a war in a while, who will fight?"

Lin Rang said very firmly: "My lord, you can look at the soldiers on the gate tower. They have no intention of fighting."

Wei Man squinted his eyes and looked up. The sun was very strong, and he could only see a rough idea, but as Lin Rang said, those soldiers didn't seem to want to fight, and they were all very decadent, just standing there and guarding.

Chen Hongye said: "If the lieutenants are afraid and timid, then I will lead the troops to pay it! The leader..."

As he was speaking, he was just about to ask Wei Man for orders, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of "boom—long—" like the roar of a wild animal, and the city gate opened slowly.

Everyone was on guard, but after the city gate was opened, there were no fighting soldiers, but a bunch of civilians.

The people knelt at the gate of the city, knelt down one after another like waves, and bowed their heads to the rebels.

Chen Hongye was dumbfounded when he saw it, and said, "This...what is this situation?"

The people shouted: "The lord is here!"

"The ally is here!"

"The lord is here to save us!"

"It's the leader of the Rebel Army!"

"Defeat the leader Wei of the Tong thief!"

Chen Hongye was asking for orders just now, he didn't realize it at all, the gate of the city was opened just like that, and there were still many people kneeling on the ground side by side to worship, as if they respected Wei Man very much.

Wei Man defeated Tong Gao, and became famous, and all the nearby cities heard of Wei Man's name.

Tong Gao wanted to move his capital to Xin'an because he was afraid of the rebel army, so he excavated the imperial tomb of the Wu family, plundered the people of Xuanyang, gathered a lot of wealth, and planned to build buildings in Xin'an, but the money was far from enough, because he still needed money. Feed your own army.So Tong Gao ordered his subordinates to plunder the surrounding cities.

The cities around Xuanyang were swept by Tong Gao's army several times, and the common people were in dire straits and were in great distress.

Even the soldiers guarding the city, although they were sent by Tong Gao, but because they couldn't bear Tong Gao's atrocities, they, together with the common people, opened the door to welcome Wei Man.

There is no need to mobilize a single soldier, the gate of the city is directly opened, Wei Man's rebel army marched straight in, and the people in the city spontaneously offered their own food to expand Wei Man's military salary. Yang, cut off Tong Gao's head, and end this tyranny like a nightmare...

Wei Man rode on a horse, and slowly entered the city. As he walked, the people knelt and worshiped along the road, and entered the government office. The officials guarding the city also kowtowed to Wei Man.

Wei Man's army didn't intend to stay here, the sooner the better, repair today, and set off tomorrow, ready to continue to Xuanyang City, before Tong Gao was ready, they were caught off guard.
