This situation lasted until Pei Xiao3's arrival. After Pei Xiao3 entered Baocheng, he immediately canceled the martial law order issued by Gao3's 3rd. Then he stopped the soldiers who were patrolling back and forth, and opened the gate of Baocheng, allowing the people to walk around at will.

The people gradually walked out of their homes and saw that there were no soldiers patrolling on the streets. Then they came to the city gate with the courage to come. When they tried to leave the city, the Pei family army at the city gate had a tight defense, but did not stop them from leaving Baocheng, nor did they search the items they carried, and the people completely let go of their guards.

On the next two and three days, a large number of gentry and people in Baocheng took the old and helped the weak and left Baocheng, as if they were fleeing.

On the city wall, Gao Sanzhong watched the people leave the city with worry and said, "General, let's let them leave like this?"

"What else?" Pei Xiao3 asked back, "Let's arrest all these people, question them a little, and take out all their money? Then what's the difference between us and those bandits? If you want to fight for the world, the hearts of the people are the most important. Don't look at this person's heart and cannot touch them, but at critical moments, you can control the general trend of the world."

Gao 3 nodded in a vague way, and did not ask. Pei Xiao3 suddenly laughed and said, "Besides, Hanzhong is broken and bandits are everywhere. Even if they are asked to leave Baocheng, where can they go? Go to Shaanxi? The people of Shaanxi themselves cannot survive and attack each other.

Go to 4chuan? 4chuan is a good place, but the mountains are high and the roads are difficult. How many of them can leave their homes and businesses, leave their hometowns and flee to 4chuan? What's more, will the governor of 4chuan think they are doing a detailed job?"

After one sentence, I said the third thing that I said turned my worries into joy. At this time, I looked at the people who were fleeing outside the city and suddenly felt that they were extremely pitiful.

Sure enough, after two days, fewer and fewer people left the city, but more and more people came into the city. In just one day, most of the people left the city had returned.

In the county yamen, Pei Xiao3 sat opposite Gao3.

Pei Xiao3 said: "Originally, after taking Baocheng, it would take a turn for two days. Later, the situation in Baocheng was unstable, so I stayed for two more days. Now it is time to go back to defend Yangxian, otherwise it will take a long time to go, and I am afraid that Yangxian will change.

I will leave it to you here, so you can defend Bao County. This place is the food, supplies and supplies of Zuo Guangxian, the official army in Hanzhong. I am afraid that Zuo Guangxian will lose food, and will jump over the wall and throw the army to attack Bao County.

You must remember not to go out of the city and fight Zuo Guang first. Keep the city and wait for the general to fall to the army to support you. You will be a great achievement."

"Yes, I will remember it in the end." Gao 3 said seriously.

"Well," Pei Xiao3 nodded, "This time our army has 17,000 people in total. I will leave 5,000 for you. The remaining 2,000 people follow me to return to Yang County. With these 5,000 people, I am cooperating with the county town of Baocheng. I think even if Zuo Guang comes first, you can still defend Bao County."

"Two thousand?" Gao Sanzhong was busy, "General, Yangxian is now facing the army of Shaanxi Governors who are practicing state affairs. Is there only two thousand people too few?"

"It's okay. Yangxian County, Shiquan has 3,000 defenders, plus two thousand people, and 5,000 troops. It's more than enough to defend Yangxian."

Just as Pei Xiao3 was talking with Gao3, Zuo Guangxian, who was far outside the city of Chenggu, was walking in the big tent. The military ration supply that was originally once every 3 days has been 5 days, but it has not been delivered. Zuo Guangxian faintly sensed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and something must have happened behind him.

Now Zuo Guang is under Chenggu City. The east side is occupied by Pei Ni, and the north side is covered by Qinling Mountains. It is inevitable that it is better. It is Nanzheng occupied by Wang Wanjin. However, although Wang Wanjin has surrendered to the court now, does Zuo Guangxian dare to trust Wang Wanjin completely?

There may be strong enemies on the three sides of the southeast, north and south, blocking mountains, or surrendering to rebel. Only Baocheng in the west is the only way to reborn. Now there are problems with this way to reborn.

Thinking about it now, Zuo Guangxian was suddenly in shock and sweating profusely. It turned out that before he knew it, he had become a lonely army, like a trapped beast trapped in a cage, slowly approaching death.

"Come, come." Zuo Guangxian roared.

The personal soldiers around him heard Zuo Guangxian's voice and hurriedly ran in.

"Didn't I transfer Wang Wanjin from Nanzheng to attack the city? Why haven't I come here yet?"

The personal soldier secretly looked up and glanced at Zuo Guangxian. Hasn't this reason been reported to the adults long ago? Why are the adults still asking? However, when he saw Zuo Guangxian's anxious and angry face, they were so scared that they did not dare to speculate and said bluntly: "Sir, Wang Wanjin rumored that he had recently fallen and injured his leg and could not travel far. Please forgive me."

"Damn your leg?" Zuo Guangxian kicked the table over with one foot and said with a grin, "Why didn't he say he had remarried? You believe such a perfunctory excuse? He can come and cooperate with our army to encircle Pei Xiao2 in the city. If there is any negligence, I will send troops to suppress him."

"Yes, the villain is going now." As he said that, the personal soldier crawled out of the tent and sent an order to the outside.

In the big tent, Zuo Guang thought about it first and then called back the personal soldiers who had just left.

The personal soldier had just left not long before he found the messenger. He was about to convey Wang Wanjin's orders when he heard Wang Wanjin's shouting, but he had no choice but to return again.

"Go, I'll send our military orders. Now the army's food and grass are controlled. Three meals a day, and it's changed to two meals a day. We can eat dry food in war and dilute food in our spare time. We ordered the ambassador of the army to keep a good care of the remaining military rations and a piece of grain less. I'll take his life."

"Yes, the villain will go and pass the order now."

Nanzheng, Wang Wanjin has been having a bad life recently. He now regrets how happy he surrendered. At that time, Pei Xiao2, the commander of the Pei family army, was defeated outside Baocheng, and even he almost couldn't come back alive. After fleeing to Chenggu in a panic, he was chased by officers and soldiers to Chenggu County, and was about to die.

Wang Wanjin was frightened by Zuo Guangxian's series of fierce style. In addition, there were problems inside him, and all his right-hand men and women were cut down, and internal turmoil was turbulent. Therefore, Liu Kaiwen, who was sent to Zhao'an, was scared by a few words, and Wang Wanjin decided to surrender to the court on the spot.

Unexpectedly, after just a few days, the entire situation changed. First, Zuo Guang first went under the city, but the attack day and night without any progress. Then he heard that Liu Hanru, the magistrate of Baocheng, was defeated and captured outside Baocheng City. Baocheng changed hands, and the officers, soldiers, food, grass and supplies were cut off, and the situation was in danger.

At this time, Zuo Guangxian actually ordered him to lead his troops to Chenggu to participate in the siege. Isn’t this a life for Wang Wanjin? If he goes out from Nanzheng, Zuo Guang will change his mind first and give him away first. Where can he make sense? Even the King of Hell can’t take care of the matter in the world, right?

So Wang Wanjin found a reason to make excuses. Unexpectedly, Zuo Guangxian sent someone to come and threatened him: "If he doesn't obey the order, then Zuo Guangxian will send troops to suppress him, Wang Wanjin."

To be honest, when Wang Wanjin heard Zuo Guangxian's threat, he still felt a little afraid from his bones. Although Wang Wanjin was cruel, he still had a certain understanding of himself. He would never be able to withstand Zuo Guangxian's continuous attacks like the Pei family army.

What's more, he was unstable internally. Maybe before the people sent by Zuo Guang first took action, the thieves under his command would jump out first and use his head as their stepping stone. However, the broken ship of the official army was about to sink, so it would be very unwise to jump onto the ship at this time.

"General, Liu Kaiwen is asking for a meeting." Outside the door, the voice of the personal soldiers came, awakening the distressed Wang Wanjin.

"Please come in."

As the sound of the door shaft turning, Liu Kaiwen quickly walked in from outside the door. 1 When he entered the door, he saw Wang Wanjin leaning against the chair and frowned: "General Wang, but for some reason, he did not follow General Zuo's order and went to Chenggu to suppress bandits?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry. Two days ago, I invited someone to drink, and I drank 1 more. Unexpectedly, those bunnies didn't help me, causing my leg to be broken. The doctor told me to rest in bed, so that I could not listen to the transfer north. In order not to delay the major affairs of General Zuo, I also specially sent someone to report this to General Zuo."
