Chapter 494 Cui Hao is here

In the clouds.

The road from Jinyang to Yunzhong is not very tortuous, but because Pingcheng in the north is in the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty, if you want to reach Yunzhong from Jinyang, you need to cross the middle reaches of the river and pass through a wilderness to reach Yunzhong under the Yin Mountain.

Therefore, although Yunzhong and Jinyang are both important military towns in the north and are not too far apart, communication between the two sides is not very frequent.

But today.

Xiao Chengzhi received a letter from Jinyang.

"Could it be that the war in Hebei is so serious that even Jinyang can't defend it?"

After all, Jinyang was too close to Heping City. When Xiao Chengzhi received the letter, he thought it was Pei Fangming who had encountered some trouble. It was not until he anxiously opened the letter that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Xiao, what happened? Do we need our troops to dispatch?"

The person guarding Yunzhong together with Xiao Chengzhi is Zhu Xiuzhi.

Originally, Xiao Chengzhi did not have much trust in this rising star, but after a few months of getting along with him, Xiao Chengzhi also felt Zhu Xiuzhi's innocent heart and admired his character, so his relationship with Zhu Xiuzhi became closer.

"Gongzu (Zhu Xiuzhi's cousin), don't worry, there are no problems in Jinyang. On the contrary, Pei Fangming wants to make a big deal!"

It turned out that Pei Fangming detailed the conflict between Gu Bi and Cui Hao in his letter. He sent the letter to Xiao Chengzhi in the hope that Xiao Chengzhi would send troops to complete part of his plan.

After hearing this, Zhu Xiuzhi did not become excited at first, but began to study the feasibility of the plan with Xiao Chengzhi.

Both of them have the potential to be handsome. They are calm in situations and will take into account all the factors that affect the victory.

"General Pei wants us to send soldiers to spread rumors about Cui Hao to Gu Bi behind Yanmen Pass. Although this is a bit dangerous, it is not too difficult."

There is still some distance between Yunzhong and Yanmen Pass. The big passes on this road are strictly guarded by the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty in Yunzhong can only go to Yanmen by walking through small paths, so that they can do it without being noticed.

Approaching Yanmen.

"After that, we will send a large number of soldiers to divert attention in the direction of Pingcheng, so that Cui Hao has no time to pay attention to Yanmen."

"The rest can be left to General Pei and the others."

Spread rumors.

Contain Pingcheng.

These two tasks were indeed not difficult for Xiao Chengzhi, and Zhu Xiuzhi agreed to implement them after sorting out the plan.

"Whether it's successful or not, it's okay to try."

Although Xiao Chengzhi and Zhu Xiuzhi were both steady commanders, the spirit of aggressive generals was still there in their hearts.

"If it doesn't work, it's just a loss of some food and luggage, but if it works..."

Once Yanmen was broken and troops came to Pingcheng, the world could really be said to be at peace.

"Find some herdsmen who are familiar with the terrain of the mountains to the west and let them take our people to Yanmen secretly."

"Two days later, I will lead Yunzhong's soldiers to launch a full-scale attack in the direction of Pingcheng!"

"Whether it succeeds or not, I will retreat on the tenth day. Otherwise, if the stalemate continues for a long time, our officers and soldiers may not be able to withstand the severe cold in winter."

The weather outside the customs today is no joke.

If it weren't for cotton, a magic weapon to keep out the cold, Xiao Chengzhi might not have been able to agree to go out in such cold weather.

"We have done everything Pei Fangming said. Whether he can win Yanmen depends on his ability!"

Yanmen.

With Pei Fangming, An Jie's guess was correct. Gu Bi was not the kind of man who acted according to his temper in anger.

When he came to Yanmen, he thought carefully about it.

In Pingcheng, as long as Tuoba Tao does not come back for one day, Cui Hao will be the "Lord of Pingcheng" for one day. At the same time, the Xianbei Military Group represented by him will be suppressed by the Han family.

Under this situation, if Cui Hao was really cruel and ruthless, he would kill Gu Bi and his gang.

After serving Tuoba Tao for so many years, Gu Bi didn't think that his status in Tuoba Tao's heart could match that of Cui Hao. His death would probably be in vain.

Under such fear, Gu Bi couldn't stay in Pingcheng for another day, so he led his troops to Yanmen.

Garrisoning Yanmen indeed gave Gu Bi the capital to take advantage of Cui Hao. Gu Bi finally had a good sleep these days, and people who were not afraid of Cui Hao would suddenly rush in and take him away to kill him.

However, Gu Bi was still uneasy.

Cui Hao's reputation accumulated in the Northern Wei Dynasty over the years is quite significant.

Gu Bi was also afraid that Cui Hao would ruthlessly insist on taking someone, so he paid special attention to the movements in the direction of Pingcheng.

The news a few days ago was pretty good.

There was no movement in Pingcheng. It was as if Gu Bi's departure from Pingcheng had not happened. Everyone was extremely calm. Not to mention Cui Hao, even the military had no intention of dispatching.

But these days... something is not right.

I don't know when, Gu Bi's spies in Pingcheng heard some news, saying that Cui Hao was very angry about Gu Bi's departure and wanted to send people to capture Gu Bi.

This news made Gu Bi nervous, and his originally relaxed nerves became tense again.

The house leaked and it rained all night.

Gu Bi had originally been diverted most of his attention by the direction of Pingcheng, but the defenders of Jinyang also repeatedly launched attacks on Yanmen Pass under the leadership of Pei Fangming.

Being attacked from both sides made Gu Bi's condition worse and worse. Gu Bi could not sleep at night for several nights.

The only gratifying thing is that An Jie of the Song Army still works tirelessly to persuade him to surrender every day. Moreover, if any Yanmen soldiers fall from the wall, An Jie will be very friendly and send the soldiers to Gu Bi.

go back.

Not only that, An Jie was also very concerned about Gu Bi's physical condition. Seeing that Gu Bi was lacking in energy, he sent him medicinal materials... but Gu Bi didn't dare to drink.

After being in this situation for several days, things finally took a turn for the better.

It’s just that this turn of events came at a really bad time for Gu Bi——

Pingcheng mobilized troops!

Of course Gu Bi didn't know that Cui Hao was using troops this time to defend Xiao Chengzhi from Yunzhong's attack. He just thought it was for him!

"Cui Hao, this common man! He's actually here!"

At this moment, Gu Bi only felt sad, angry and worried.

"I came to Yanmen just to protect myself! This Cui Hao is still unwilling to let us go!"

"O late Emperor! I, Gu Bi, sacrificed my life and blood for the great Wei Dynasty, but why did I end up like this in exchange?"

It is true that as Gu Bi said, he came to Yanmen just to protect himself.

As for surrendering to the Song army... it was just a weight for him. In his heart, he was still unwilling to surrender to Liu Song.

In this painful entanglement, a soldier hurried over and placed a basket in front of Gu Bi.

"General, this is the Polygonum multiflorum vine sent by An Jie, the guard across the street. He said that this herb has the effect of nourishing blood and calming the mind, dispelling wind and dredging meridians. After being boiled into a decoction, it can treat insomnia and dreaminess, blood deficiency, body pain, and rheumatic paralysis.

pain."

Looking at those herbs, even though Gu Bi's heart was made of stone, waves of warmth flowed through him at this moment.

"Take these medicines... and fry them."
