Guan Ji's overly conservative arrangement allowed the Jingyang City defender to escape back to Jingyang smoothly.

But before he could take a breath, soldiers soon came to report:

"General, there are Shu captives outside the city!"

General Hu secretly complained: I knew there were Shu captives who would not let me go so easily!

I was thinking this, but I had to bite the bullet and go to the top of the city to watch.

When he saw people neighing and horses neighing outside the city, his heart trembled: "Why are these Shu captives chasing so closely?!"

On the contrary, the guard of Wuzhi City who escaped with him was calmer. He looked carefully at the people under the city and seemed to have discovered something:

"We are riding fast all the way. The only people who can be pursued so fast by the Shu captives are the cavalry. There are nine out of ten cavalry from the Shu captives under this city."

"Cavalry?" When General Hu heard this, he quickly looked carefully and saw that the Shu captives outside the city seemed to be very powerful, but they had more horses and fewer horses.

Of course he understood this situation: the cavalry was a man riding two horses, so he was blinded for a moment.

"It's really a cavalry army!" General Hu was overjoyed. "How can the cavalry army attack the city? I don't have to worry about it for now!"

Just to put it bluntly, how could Shulu be so fast?

It took the Shu captives one day to clear up Wushi City, and it would take at least one day to march here again, adding up to two days.

At the same time, General Hu still had a small thought in his heart:

Linjing City is taller than Wushi City. According to the way the Shu captives attacked Wushi City before, it didn't take five or six days, but only two or three more days, so they would have four days left for themselves.

If that really happened, the governor's reinforcements must have arrived.

When the time comes, not only will he lose his troops without fault, but he will also be able to defend the city successfully.

At this time, I saw some Shu captives under the city coming forward with something in their hands and shouting loudly:

"Listen to the Cao thieves in the city, Wushi City has been destroyed, and Wang's troops are approaching Jingyang. Why don't you surrender quickly and return to righteousness?"

As he said that, someone else brought out a large number of flags and drums, the most obvious of which had a big Chinese character "Hu", which was the flag of General Hu of Jingyang City.

It turned out that when Wushi City retreated, the flag officer of the Wei army was still trying desperately to protect the flag, so Zhang Yi and others did not find the opponent's flag in the city.

After the Wei army was defeated and retreated from Wushi City, General Hu was escorted by his bodyguards and led the way back to Jingyang. Without the general and the general, the handsome flag in the hands of the flag officer naturally became a hot commodity.

So it was advantageous for Yang Wanwan, who had driven away the defeated troops all the way.

General Hu's face turned green when he saw his handsome flag.

But the soldier responsible for observing the enemy's situation came over and reported:

"General, that Shu captive took the general's flag to persuade him to surrender..."

General Hu's green face began to turn red: I'm not blind, I can see!

"Shu captives...Shu captives bully people too much!"

General Hu slapped Wucheng's head with his palm and said angrily, "It's tolerable, but who can't be tolerated? Come on, shoot me an arrow!"

Although General Hu is mediocre in ability, it does not mean that he does not understand one thing:

Nowadays, the Hu family dominates Anding County. This is a rare opportunity for the Hu family in hundreds of years.

If Anding County falls into the hands of Shu captives, who knows what will happen?

I heard that many of the aristocratic families in the Shu region had their families destroyed because they were forced by the Shu captives.

It can be seen from this that the cruel government of the Shu captives is fierce!

Yang Wanwan led the cavalry to pursue the defeated troops, but encountered no decent resistance along the way.

Even the opponent's coach's flag was captured by him.

He originally thought that Jingyang City would not hold on at this time, but he surrendered after being persuaded, but he did not expect to be persuaded to retreat by a wave of arrows from above.

Although no one was hurt, the attitude in Jingyang City was very clear, which made Yang Wanwan very unhappy.

However, just as General Wei had guessed, the cavalry he led did not carry any siege equipment at all, and their number was only two thousand. Facing Jingyang City, there was no good solution for the time being.

At the moment, I had to bear this tone angrily, and at the same time, I had someone take the news back to the rear and notify General Guan.

The guard general of Wuzhi City, who escaped with General Hu, saw this man just running wildly along the way, and he felt a little contempt for him.

I thought that General Hu was just a timid person who climbed to the position of guard of Jingyang City by pacifying the Hu family, but he didn't expect that he was also a loyal person?

But he didn't know what his superiors were thinking.

Because after Wei lost Xiao Pass, Jingyang became the northern gate of stability.

Therefore, it is natural to send someone who is loyal and obedient. As for ability, that comes second.

After all, there is Wushi City in front of Jingyang City, Linjing, the county seat behind it, and Yuezhi City guarded by Xiahou Ba in the north. It is safe no matter how you look at it.

If we really talk about the current situation in Jingyang, it is actually caused by General Hu following the instructions of Xiahou Ba and Hu Zun.

The main responsibility does not lie with him at all.

At most, it means placing a reverse curse on Wushi City: Why was Wushi City not destroyed?

Then Wushi City was destroyed.

Therefore, for General Hu, it is okay to defeat the battle, but it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender without a fight.

Seeing that the Shu prisoners under the city were retreating under the rain of arrows, General Hu cheered up and said encouragingly:

"With this heavy baggage of Shu captives, it will take at least two days. If it is to attack the city, it will take another two days. If the prefect leads the reinforcements, it will only take three days at most."

"Moreover, the generals from Chang'an are heading north along the Jing River at this time. As long as we can hold on for a few days, the Shu captives will have no choice but to retreat. By then, everyone will have done a great job in defending the city!"

After hearing the general's words, everyone who was originally fearful finally calmed down a little.

"The laws of our country, Wei, are very strict. If we surrender without a fight, everyone must know the consequences. Even if we don't think about ourselves, we must think about our parents, wives and children at home."

When General Hu saw the changes in everyone's faces, he felt happy and quickly added fuel to his anger.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately horrified.

Seeing this situation, General Wuzhi City, with the mentality of making up for his past mistakes, suggested General Hu to summon the city sergeants overnight to explain the situation and encourage everyone to defend the city together.

Although General Hu was unable to lead an army in battle, he was originally from a wealthy and stable family.

The calls and promises he made in his capacity have received support from many people.

Seeing this, the two Wei generals became more confident in guarding Jingyang.

Some people are optimistic, and naturally some people are pessimistic.

After hearing that Jingyang City mobilized all the city's officials to defend the city, some people sighed privately:

"The Shu captives used a trick to destroy Wushi City, and their intention was Jingyang City. How could they slow down and give Jingyang a chance to breathe?"

"If we let the officials guard the city now, I'm afraid that not only will they not be able to protect the city, but they will also provoke the Shu captives to become more murderous, and only cause more harm to the people in the city!"

Unexpectedly, this exclamation was reported to General Hu.

General Hu was immediately furious and arrested the man, preparing to kill him for disturbing the morale of the army.

However, the guard general of Wuzhi City dissuaded him and said:

"At this time, the hearts of the people in the city are unstable. If we kill people easily, we will only confuse people's hearts. Otherwise, we will be organized into a death camp."

General Hu thought it was reasonable, so he threw him into death row, waiting for the Shu captives to attack the city, and then let him die in front.

After Guan Ji, who was leading the army from behind, learned that Jingyang City was unwilling to surrender, she immediately urged the Han army to speed up their pace. It only took less than a day for them all to arrive at the gate of Jingyang City.

General Hu, who was trying to comfort himself until he fell asleep in the middle of the night, suddenly heard someone wake him up.

"General, it's not good, the army of Shu captives is approaching the city!"

Hu Shoujiang, who was a little confused because he didn't sleep well, suddenly woke up:

"Shu captives...didn't they already arrive at the city gate yesterday?"

Suddenly I felt something was wrong again, "Army? The army of Shu captives has arrived? Are you sure?"

At that moment, I casually put on my clothes and armor and came to the top of the city. Looking outside the city, I saw that the Shu camp under the city was much larger than yesterday.

The most eye-catching thing is that the flags and drums lost by General Hu were once again taken out and whipped.

"...The great Han defeated the thieves and used sharp troops to defeat Wushi City and defeat the Jingyang army. Now the army is approaching the city. If there are any who are cooperating with the defenders, they will be counted as bandits after the city is broken!"

"If you stay behind closed doors, the big man will not disturb you..."

Several Han soldiers were at the gate, holding a strange object and shouting loudly.

As soon as General Hu saw his handsome flag, his eyes turned red: Come again? Come again?!

"Shoot the arrow, why don't you shoot the arrow!"

The soldiers and officials who had just been inspired yesterday looked at each other quietly this time with different expressions.

Defending the city is meritorious. Only when you defend the city can you merit merit.

This was based on the fact that, as General Hu said, the Han army would arrive in two days and then attack the city for another two days.

If you know that you cannot defend yourself and yet you are labeled as a thief, that is called a fault.
