The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 358 Winning Wan City ([-])

Soon, a rush of hoofbeats broke through the tranquility of this severe winter morning.Guan Xing led a dozen scouts and galloped towards Xiaotanggou.

In the early morning of this day, when the morning sun began to rise over the city and cast its first bright red light on the ground, it indicated that today would be a sunny day.

The guards on the walls of Wancheng obviously enjoyed the weather, the sun had begun to feel warm, and their spirits inevitably seemed a little lazy.

But soon, a group of people appeared not far from the city.At first, from a distance, it was just a group of dark moving black dots.When they got closer, the soldiers guarding the city realized that they were actually a group of hundreds of soldiers!

The situation of those soldiers looked really miserable. Most of the armor and livery on their bodies were already in dilapidated condition, and some of them were still wounded.But judging from the livery, this is obviously a Cao army that retreated from nowhere.

Leading the team was a general in silver armor. He was not particularly tall. He was seated by a yellow puma. The stains on his face had not been wiped off in time, and he looked quite disappointed.

Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city immediately raised their vigilance.Sima, the army guarding the city wall, went up to the top of the city to watch the situation in person, and then immediately sent someone to notify the prefect Dong Liyan.

When Dongli Yan climbed to the top of the city, Cao Wei's defeated troops had already stopped at the city.

Dong Liyan was about 40 years old, seven feet tall, and dressed in a light blue robe, obviously because the matter was urgent and he hadn't had time to change into formal clothes.With a small goatee on his chin, he looked a bit wretched.

After Dong Liyan observed carefully, he couldn't help showing a look of disdain for these defeated soldiers.But now he has completely forgotten that not long ago, he was hijacked by the rebels of Hou Yin and Wei Kai.If it hadn't been for Gongcao Yuying's desperate rescue, he would have already become a dead bone in the mass grave outside the city.

Dongli Yan cleared his throat, and shouted loudly towards the city: "Hey, whose horse are you waiting for, why did you come to my city like this?"

When the general saw a civil servant at the top of the city speak, he immediately got off his horse and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, we were originally the garrison in the Anzhong Fortress. Late last night, the Anzhong Fortress was already under pressure from the Jingzhou Army. We will fight all the way." Only then was I able to break through!" At the end, the general was already in tears.

Dong Liyan was shocked when he heard it, so doesn't that mean that Wancheng has now become the next attack target of the Jingzhou army?Dong Liyan couldn't help shouting: "What, you are Anzhong's men? Anzhong actually fell into Mr. Zhao's hands?"

The general replied: "That's right! Now Master Zhao Yan is said to have been captured, maybe the Jingzhou Army will come tomorrow, please be prepared to deal with it!"

Dong Liyan turned pale immediately, but subconsciously nodded to the general below, and then suddenly remembered that he should ask the details of the fall of Anzhong Fortress, otherwise it would be terrible if these people pretended.

Dong Liyan asked: "Tell me clearly how the Anzhong Fortress fell. If there is a falsehood, I will immediately shoot all arrows from the top of the city!" Dongli Yan raised his hand as soon as he said, All the guards at the top of the city raised their bows and arrows.

Seeing the situation, the general's eyes showed deep fear, and he immediately explained the situation of the fall of Anzhong Fortress to Dong Liyan in detail last night.

Dong Liyan never imagined that a small Anzhong Fortress battle would go on so fiercely and so confusingly!He couldn't help but secretly sighed for Liu Chan's resourcefulness, but he also sighed for Zhao Yan's failure.

Dong Liyan pondered in his heart, after Liu Chan's army went through such a tragic battle, the whole army was absolutely exhausted.Wancheng is a hundred miles away from Anzhong, so it is absolutely impossible for them to come here at this time.

Dong Liyan suddenly felt relieved, and pointed to the general at the bottom and asked, "Report your name first!"

The general clasped his hands and replied: "The last general Sima Gemin pays his respects to Your Excellency!"

Dong Liyan nodded, and didn't intend to question Ge Min anymore, so he turned around and told the soldiers below the city to open the city gate.

There was a rubbing sound at the city gate that made people's skin crawl, and the brilliant light of the morning sun shone into the originally dark doorway.The tall and strong city gate was opened in front of Ge Min's eyes.Ge Min was overjoyed, secretly praising General Guan Xing's strategy really worked.

With a wave of Ge Min's right hand, the people and horses passed through the city gate slowly. Although the doorway was not deep, the air inside was colder than the outside, which made people feel goosebumps suddenly.

After passing through the doorway, Ge Min saw a young school officer in a captain's uniform smeared in front of him.He stepped forward to stop Ge Min's team, and nonchalantly asked Ge Min to dismount.

After Ge Min bowed his hands to the captain, he got off his horse and asked, "What advice does your lord have?"

The captain looked Ge Min up and down again, seeing that Ge Min's rank should be higher than his, he returned the courtesy and said: "You can come with me, my Master Dongli wants you to see you."

Ge Min nodded and asked the man's name.This person was originally called Cao Ba, but he was the captain of the city gate, that is, a captain who was responsible for guarding the gate of Wancheng.

Ge Min laughed inwardly, how dare this little man dare to show off in front of him!But he followed the captain and walked to the side.

After walking a few steps, Ge Min saw Dong Liyan standing there with his hands behind his back, waiting for him to pass.

Cao Ba then introduced to Ge Min: "General Ge, this is the prefect of Wancheng, Lord Dongli." Then Cao Ba walked up to Dongli Yan and whispered to him.Ge Min's heart moved, and he guessed that Cao Ba was probably reporting his impressions to Dong Liyan.

Cao Ba was indeed reporting to Dong Liyan that after his observation, there seemed to be no problem with this defeated army.After he finished speaking, Dong Liyan nodded to him, but felt a burst of relief in his heart.

In fact, Dong Liyan is not such a heartless person, otherwise, how could he be a high-ranking official like the prefect of a county?Although he let Ge Min's troops enter Wancheng, he still had doubts in his heart-although these troops were all wearing Cao Jun uniforms, who could guarantee that they were not pretended by the enemy?Wasn't Lu Jian's camp taken away by the enemy in this way last time?
Dong Liyan then walked forward slowly, and asked: "Since you retreated from Anzhong, why didn't you go to Zhenping, but came to Wancheng?"

Ge Min cupped his hands and said, "Master Dongli, last night, after rushing out of Anzhong with a group of people, he was in a panic all the way, just running along the main road. It wasn't until dawn that we found out that we had already arrived at the south of Wancheng. I just have to come here to fix it first, ask for some food and grass first, and then think about where to go next."

Dong Liyan nodded, feeling that there was nothing flawed in Ge Min's words, so he said: "That's all right, you can stay in the city and rest for a day or two. I think that Liu Adou's army may also come over by then. "

Ge Min's dirty face suddenly showed an ugly smile to Dong Liyan, showing a mouthful of bright white teeth, and said: "Thank you, Lord Dongli, for taking me in."

Then, Ge Min wanted to kneel down and thank Dong Liyan, and Dong Liyan subconsciously went to help Ge Min.

At this time, Ge Min suddenly jumped up from the ground, stretched out his thick left hand, and grabbed Dong Liyan's lapel.The saber in his right hand quickly came out, and he slashed towards Cao Ba.

Cao Ba was quite capable. After being startled by Ge Min's sudden move to restrain the prefect, he actually looked to be able to react, so he dodged to the side to avoid the sneak attack!

Ge Min snorted coldly, swung his left hand, Dong Liyan let out an exclamation, and was thrown by Ge Min to the ground behind him.Ge Min immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone do it, take the city gate!"

Ge Min then swung his long sword to attack Cao Ba. Under the sunlight, the long sword flashed a brilliant white light, which seemed to be full of murderous intent.

Cao Ba was not an incompetent person, he exclaimed: "Lord Dongli, get up quickly and run towards the city!" Then, he immediately drew out his sword to face Ge Min.But Dong Liyan was so frightened by Ge Min's sudden attack that his legs and feet became limp, and when he suddenly remembered the situation of being kidnapped by Hou Yin, he was completely frightened and stupid, and he didn't hear Cao Ba's reminder at all.

There was only a crisp sound, and the long swords of the two collided together.Ge Min's strength was so great that he deflected Cao Ba's sword with one strike.Cao Ba couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and immediately retreated to the rear.Of course Ge Min would not let the opponent go so easily, and immediately chased after him with his sword.

After the two sides fought seven or eight more moves, Cao Ba was completely unable to withstand Ge Min's attack, and his forehead began to sweat.
