Chapter 1204 Breakthrough

  As the saying goes, one hair can move the whole body.

   Wei Yan, who was on a military adventure in Gaodu City, successfully forced all parts of Bingzhou to the west of the Dahe to follow suit.

   And the rotation of other places in Bingzhou is just the beginning.

  The impact of this incident is spreading quietly to Chang'an and even to all parts of Dahan.

   Just wait for a fuse, and there will be an uproar in the big man.

   And this fuse is in the hands of Guo Xun.

  The end of June in the fourth year of Yanxi has entered the hottest time of the year.

  The crescent moon is like a string, and the sky is full of stars.

  The intense heat of the day has subsided, but the city walls still emit bursts of residual heat.

   Fortunately, the night wind that blows from time to time makes people feel a little cool.

   "Guo joined the army?"

  The leader of the Han army at the head of the city of Huguan saw Guo Xun personally leading a team of troops to take turns, and hurried forward to greet him.

   "It's been hard work, take your people, go down and rest."

   Nodding to the leader.

  The Han army led the army to hold their fists together and say hello.

  A few days ago, General Hussars transferred most of the soldiers defending the city.

   Fortunately, Guo Canjun recruited a group of county soldiers to make up for it.

  In order to let these county soldiers get acquainted with the various places in Huguan faster, Guo Canjun broke up the hundreds of soldiers left behind into ten teams, and each team led a group of county soldiers to patrol and defend the city.

   These days, everyone is gradually getting used to it.

  Just when he left with his own people, the leader of the Han army subconsciously glanced at the team, and said "Huh":

   "Guo Canjun, here, why is there no leader tonight?"

   "Oh," Guo Xun patted his head and smiled, "I forgot to mention that the weather is too hot these days, and everyone has to bring new soldiers, which is quite hard."

   "So I asked the villagers to bring some wine and food over to reward everyone."

  Guo Xun pointed to the city and said:

   "Go, you are the last team, go late, you will be eaten up by them."

   "This..." The Han army hesitated, "Is it appropriate?"

  Guo Xun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What's inappropriate? I'm not letting you eat and drink while on duty."

   "Tonight's team leader, I let them rest. Don't worry, I will lead the team tonight, there will be no problem."

  Hearing what Guo Canjun said, the leader was relieved, with a grateful expression on his face:

   "Lao Guo has joined the army!"

  To be honest, these days, I am really tired.

  Because most of the people were transferred away, the troops guarding the throat of the Shangdang were greatly insufficient, and everyone was basically tense.

   Coupled with the need to bring these county soldiers, it makes people feel physically and mentally exhausted.

  After such a long time, Huguan has been calm, no different from before.

   Everyone is a little relaxed now.

   "What is there to work or not?" Guo Xun waved his arm and said very grandly, "This is to reward everyone for their hard work these days, go!"

  The team leader clasped his fists again, and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly the voices of "clang" and "clang" came from the team led by Guo Xun.

   Inducing the team to look back, it turned out that one of the county soldiers brought by Guo Xun couldn't hold the weapon steadily and fell to the ground.

   Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the county soldier hurriedly bent down, trying to pick up the weapon.

   Unexpectedly, he picked it up just now, and he didn't know if he was too nervous. Before he could straighten up, the weapon in his hand fell again.

   "Clang!"

  The team turned to Guo Xun with some doubts:

   "Guo Canjun, this..."

  Guo Xun's expression changed slightly. Fortunately, under the cover of night, the team leader who was more than ten steps away couldn't see his expression change clearly:

   "It's okay, it's okay, county soldiers, naturally they can't compare with elite soldiers like you, and it's normal to miss occasionally."

  The team rate is still a bit uneasy:

   "Why don't I let them come over after I go back?"

   "No, no, no!" Guo Xun suddenly raised his voice, but he quickly controlled his emotions again, "I promised them today, let them have a good rest."

   "If they change their minds and let them come over to be on duty, no one will be happy."

   "Don't worry, I will pay attention to these people. Alright, let's go, don't delay any longer."

   Guo Xun said here, half-jokingly:

   "If you are worried, tell them when you go back, don't sleep too much tonight, just pay attention to the alarm at any time."

   "These county soldiers will also enter the army in the future, and this is a good time for them to exercise."

  The military service of the big man lasted for four years.

   Guard in the county for one year, this is the county soldier, and receive formal military training at the same time.

  The remaining three years will be transferred to the Central Army to participate in foreign operations.

   These four years are mandatory military service, and there is no official military salary.

  Four years later, whether to continue to stay in the army to receive the salary or return to the hometown depends on the arrangement of the imperial court.

  So Guo Xun said that these county soldiers should be trained, which is a legitimate reason.

  Seeing that Guo Canjun's attitude was so firm, the team rate naturally couldn't say anything, so he had to lead people down the city wall.

  After all, Guo Canjun led the army himself, so there would be no major problems.

   Watching the last member of the Han army disappear at the top of the city, Guo Xun let out a long sigh of relief.

  He looked at the county soldier who dropped the weapon by mistake, his eyes were cold and fierce.

   Guo Xun lowered his voice:

   "If what happened tonight really went wrong because of you, then the wife, children and parents will be implicated."

   As he spoke, he looked at the crowd again:

   "It is the same with you."

   After finishing this sentence, he probably saw that someone among the crowd was too nervous, and then he slowed down his voice again:

   "But if it succeeds, it will be very different. You and others will all receive credit for this, and the family, wives, children, and parents will not have to spend on food and clothing in this life."

   "Which is more important, you should have a decision in your heart."

   Seeing the people in front, their eyes sparkled and their expressions became more determined, Guo Xun nodded in satisfaction.

  In addition to a dozen or so of these people, they were secretly dispatched by Wei.

  The rest are part of the Hedong family—they lost not only their land and family property, but also their families in the rebellion a few years ago.

  The last part is the children of certain local families.

   Fortunately, he is the son of a Shangdang family. If it was replaced by Hedong, Guo Xun would not dare to use it.

  Hedong has been allocating fields to those untouchables, and the price of buying them is too high.

   Shangdang is much better.

  Especially after the establishment of the Dudu Mansion, the so-called "spreading into the mother" evil policy, naturally cannot be carried out in the Shangdang.

the reason is simple:

   Wei Yan was hated by his colleagues in the court and did not have enough helpers.

   When he got to the place, he was unwilling to accept it, or to put it another way, he was unwilling to believe those students who called Feng Thief the head of the mountain.

  So in a sense, Guo Xun would like to thank Wei Yan for giving himself such a huge opportunity.

  Unfortunately, Wei Yan is not from Great Wei.

  But now is not the time to think about these things, Guo Xun calmed down and began to arrange for tonight's duty.

  The night gradually became thicker.

   After entering the middle of the night, behind the city wall of Huguan, everything began to become completely silent, and there was no more sound.

  Even the top of the city was silent.

  The longer the time dragged on, the more anxious Guo Xun became.

   Probably because he felt too hot and boring, he simply walked out of the turret, came to the city wall, and looked out of the city.

  But the darkness of the night covered everything, except for the high mountains outside the Huguan Pass, the dark outlines could still be seen.

  The trees on the mountain have been hidden in the black, let alone the figure he wanted to see.

   Only the city gate below, occasionally one or two dogs barking.

  Besides that, Guo Xun could only hear the beating of his own heart and a slight shortness of breath.

  Looking up at the sky full of stars, Guo Xun was muttering something to himself, but he didn't seem to say anything.

   After an unknown amount of time, a flame suddenly lit up on the nearest mountain outside Guancheng.

   Next, second, third.

  The lights of the three fires are a little weak, but in Guo Xun's eyes, they are as dazzling as the bright moon!

"Come…"

  He just yelled a word, and suddenly bit his tongue tightly again.

   turned around suddenly, and ran back to the turret like a gust of wind.

"coming!"

  The dozen or so people who had been staying in the turret all stood up abruptly when they saw Guo Xun rushing in and saying these two words again.

"coming?"

"coming!"

  Guo Xun's face, illuminated by the candlelight, was even distorted with excitement.

   "Quick, get ready."

   I don't know how many rehearsals, these people set off immediately.

   "You take people to the city gate, and immediately raise the winch when you hear the signal from the city!"

   "You, take someone to block the intersection, in case there are thieves rushing over!"

   "Also, these hanging baskets, just in case..."

  The county soldiers on the city wall were also quickly alarmed and became a little noisy.

   "Shut up! No noise is allowed, lest people in the city be alarmed!"

  Guo Xun followed and ordered:

   "Let them all take the title! Whoever dares to drop it will be dealt with according to military law!"

   This time, apart from Wei Junxi's low scolding sound, and the occasional slight clash of weapons, there was no other sound.

   After arranging all this, Guo Xun went back to the top of the city, ordered three torches to be lit and shook them vigorously back and forth.

   Then he widened his eyes, staring closely at the dark city below.

  At this time, Guo Xun felt that time passed so slowly, as if there was no flow.

  When he felt that the night seemed to be over, three more flames finally appeared below the city.

  At this time, Guo Xun finally couldn't suppress his excitement, and kept calling out:

"Hurry up!"

  After the torch on the top of the city responded, it sent a signal to the gate inside the city.

   The winch began to rattle.

   "Wow woof!"

   "Wow, woof woof..."

  The police dog guarding the gate of the city didn't know if they noticed something was wrong, or they heard a strange noise outside the gate.

   They began to become restless, warning the people inside the city gate.

   Soon, more than a dozen police dogs tied to the gate of the city were all barking.

   Their barking even caused a chain reaction of the watchdogs in the city in the distance.

   "It's so noisy! Tell them to shut up, or they will wake up the thieves behind!"

   Wei Jun, who was leading people to turn the winch of the city gate, ordered impatiently.

   After a flurry of fuss, the barking of the dog was suppressed for a while, and then it started barking again.

   "It's my mother's!"

  The leader couldn't help but cursed.

  However, he could only curse, because at this time, the gate of the city had already made a harsh sound like teeth grinding.

   Wei Jun, who had been waiting outside for a long time, couldn't wait to squeeze in when the city gate was opened and just able to enter and exit.

   "Light the torches!"

  The leading General Wei Jun ordered directly.

  The city gate continued to be pulled up, and more and more Wei troops poured into the pass.

  The torches were also continuously lit, and soon, the outside of the city gate was as bright as day.

  The noise of Wei Jun and the barking of dogs mixed together, making the city gate lively.

  Leader General Wei glanced at the tethered police dogs not far away, saw them barking their teeth and barking in this direction, and directly drew his knife and stepped forward.

   "Shua!"

   A dog's head was beheaded.

  The rest of the police dogs seemed to be choked by the throat, only daring to let out a low whimper.

   It was just the abnormal barking of the police dogs before, which finally alarmed the Han army camp in the distance.

"what happened?"

  A team leader was in a light sleep. He got up in a daze, came to the open area of ​​the camp, and looked in the direction of the city gate.

   "I don't know."

  The guard captain on duty at the camp was also a little puzzled.

   "How long have you been calling?"

   "It's been a while."

   "Didn't the city send someone over?"

"No."

   "That should be fine?"

   When he said this, Team Rate himself was a little uncertain.

  Guo Canjun personally leads the team tonight, no matter how bad the county soldiers are, if something happens, there is no way they can’t even get a message out.

   But what about those barking dogs?

  The dogs at the city gate are not ordinary dogs, but they are specially used in the military...

   While he was wondering, the dog barking at the city gate suddenly stopped.

   Listening again, he did not hear the dog barking at the city gate, and the team leader breathed a sigh of relief:

   "It seems that there is nothing wrong..."

  At this time, the guard in charge of guarding on the arrow tower trotted over:

   "There seems to be something wrong with the city gate!"

"What?"

   "Over there at the city gate, it seems that people are gathering at the city gate, and there are still fires!"

   "Did something really happen?"

   "Quickly, send someone to wake them up, go and have a look!"

  …

   "Teacher, the city gate has been completely controlled by us."

   Sima Yi, who had been waiting outside the city, laughed heartily when he heard this:

   "Good, good! Let's go, enter the city!"

   After the Wei army entered the city, Guo Xun had already descended from the city wall and was waiting inside the gate.

   "Xiaoxian, you have made great contributions!"

  As soon as Sima Yi entered the city, he got off his horse and walked forward quickly. Before Guo Xun could speak, he had already tightly grasped Guo Xun's arms:

   "The meritorious service of the world, you have made the merits of the world, Xiaoxian!"

  Guo Xun couldn't help being surprised and delighted when he saw Sima Yi:

   "Teacher actually led the army here in person?! It's too risky!"

  Sima Yi laughed:

   "Compared to Xiaoxian entering a thief's den personally, I am not at all adventurous!"

   As he spoke, he patted Guo Xun's arm vigorously.

  It can be seen that Sima Yi, who is resourceful and calculating, can make these actions, which shows his excitement.

  At this time, someone came to report: "Teacher, all the gates and key points of the city have been controlled by us!"

   "Oh? So smooth?"

  Si Mayi was a little surprised:

   "Nobody resisted?"

  Guo Xun laughed and said:

   "Teacher, the thieves in the pass have already been transferred away by me tonight."

   "Good good good good!"

  Sima Yi repeatedly praised him, holding his hand tightly and unwilling to let go, "I don't know where to send them first?"

   "I'm afraid he is sleeping soundly in the camp at this time."

  The two laughed again.

   "Did you hear that?" Sima Yi looked at Guo Huai next to him, "General Guo, order your troops immediately..."

  Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in front of him.

  A county soldier staggered over:

   "It's not good, bandits, bandits are coming this way, they want to break into the intersection, we can't stop..."

  Guo Xun was shocked when he heard the words.

  But Sima Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled lightly:

   "Just right, lest the soldiers go looking for them."

  PS: Friendly recommendation, "Da Ming Nie Zi", just recommended, if you have time, you can go to the personal show.
