Chapter 197 Successfully entered the interior
According to the strategy agreed with Jia Xu, Guo Huai and Hao Zhao directly led their troops to the Yellow River, and forcibly recruited some ships from the people. Then they took the boat directly downstream to Dongyuan County, then headed north from Dongyuan County to the city of Anyi.
Of course, during this period, they naturally had to change into the costumes of Bai Bojun, which was not difficult to do, because Xu Huang had it there, so they had naturally given it to them secretly.
"Stop, what are you doing?" Hu Cai, who was patrolling the city, saw the army that had been wearing tattered clothes coming to the city, and immediately shouted loudly.
"I, we are the team of the Black Mountain Army. My name is He Zhao, and his name is Guo Hua. Because the Black Mountain Army has been defeated by Yuan Shao recently, I saw that your brothers from Baibo Army defected to the court and wanted to have an advancement level, so I came to like each other. No matter whether we are in the Black Mountain White Beach, we have the same roots and origins. I hope the brothers can give you a chance."
"Hehe, surrender to us at this time? You are not a detailed work sent by Xu Huang, right?" Hu Cai sneered on the top of the city and shouted loudly: "I honestly explain, where did you come from? What's the purpose of this? If you don't explain honestly, don't blame us for being ruthless."
After Hu Cai finished speaking, Hao Zhao couldn't help but speak, "This general, we are really from the Black Mountain Army. I was originally a Zhending person in Changshan Kingdom. I have been working with Qu and Zhang Yan before, but he overestimated his abilities and actually fought against Yuan Shao. We didn't want to die in vain, so we fled here and wanted to find an advanced path from the brothers of Bai Bo's army. I hope you can accept it. If you don't accept it, we have to go to Pei Cavalry."
"Well, you also have people from Changshan Country's area, so I guess you don't dare to lie to me. Since that's the case, you should go to the city first. However, in order to express your sincerity, you must put your weapons into the basket we have to go down before entering the city. I wonder if you would like to do this?"
Hu Cai thought of this idea in a short time. He was very proud of his idea. If the other party really did a careful job, he would definitely not dare to hand over the weapon.
Then Hu Cai saw that the other party had indeed handed over all the weapons. He saw that the other party's weapons were all plows, hoes, sticks, etc., and it seemed that they should not be fine-made, because if it was fine-made, how could they hand over all the weapons? Besides, how could they bring so many people to do fine-made?
That's why Hu immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and went out to greet him himself.
"Haha, welcome the brothers of the Black Mountain Army to join. Although we are facing enemies now, there is nothing wrong. Because the Southern Xiongnu teams set off to the south soon, the court will also send reinforcements. As long as we persist for a while, we will be able to win. By that time, everyone will be the heroes of the court, and it is absolutely no problem to be granted a title and worship generals."
Hu Cai immediately showed a look of respect and politeness, and was very enthusiastic towards Hao Zhao, Guo Huai and the others.
After all, there is also a struggle for power and profit within the Baibo army. Whoever has more army will have greater say. Although Hao Zhao and Guo Huai only brought two thousand people, this is also a considerable force, so he naturally has to try his best to win over them. What's more, he saw that these two young people were extraordinary, strong in physique, and looked very weak, and would definitely be very capable assistants in the future.
Hu Cai then appointed Guo Huai and Hao Zhao as the lieutenants, and each assigned two thousand troops to them for their command. After knowing that they were all grateful to him, he took them with them but saw Han Xian and Li Le, and announced the matter proudly.
Of course, Han Xian and Li Le were very dissatisfied with this, but there was no way to do so. Hu Cai took the lead and they could only doubt their identity with a look of disappointment, so they proposed to send someone to investigate their identity. As a result, there was a problem with this investigation, because they had actually come from the Yellow River and all the way north to Anyi. Such a marching route was not in line with common sense, because if they were really the Black Mountain Army, they should have come from north to south, or from east to west.
So Hao Zhao and Guo Huai followed Jia Xu's words and said that they were originally thinking of surrendering Xu Huang, but they were discovered and defeated by Xu Huang. In addition, the other party deployed heavy troops in the north, so it was difficult to get over, so they detoured the Yellow River, then came to Dongyuan County, and then went north to Anyi.
After the two of them said this, neither Han Xian nor Li Le said anything anymore. They were just a joke about Hao Zhao and Guo Huai, who were just thinking about pretending to be angels and surrendering Xu Huang, but their suspicion towards Hao Zhao and Guo Huai dissipated.
In this way, Hao Zhao and Guo Huai successfully gained a firm foothold in Anyi City and gained Li Le's trust.
After that, Xu Huang came to the city almost every day to curse, saying that Li Le and the others were all soft-boys, and that so few of them did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
Xu Huang's words were so ugly that Han Xian couldn't help but want to go out of the city to fight. Guo Huai tried hard to persuade him that this must be Xu Huang's trick and he must not be fooled.
However, Han Xian refused to listen to the advice and sneered, "I have been fighting for a lifetime. Don't you know if there is any trick? You have not even grown hair, but you dare to persuade me? If you don't let me fight, I will go out and come and deal with you after defeating Xu Huang."
After saying that, Han Xian led his army out of the city and launched an attack on Xu Huang. Xu Huang immediately retreated when he saw this. Han Xian chased him reluctantly, but ended up in ambush halfway, losing more than a thousand people. Thanks to his personal soldiers who sacrificed their lives to save them, they broke back.
After returning, Han Xian believed Guo Huai's previous judgment, and Guo Huai was even more favored by Hu Cai and was directly appointed as a military advisor.
After that, Xu Huang went to the city to curse the formation every day, and all the generals ignored Xu Huang's curse formation according to Guo Huai's instructions. However, a few days later, just one day when Xu Huang led his army to the afternoon, Guo Huai suddenly suggested sending troops immediately, attacking him unprepared and defeating Xu Huang.
However, all the generals were afraid of Xu Huang's reputation and dared not fight.
Seeing this, Guo Huai fell and sighed: "Great opportunity, are you wasting it like this? Now Xu Huang is not prepared and his morale is slack. It is the best time to send troops. It is a pity that you have lost the opportunity."
In this case, Hao Zhao stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to lead the battle to Xu Huang. If I cannot win, I am willing to punish me."
"Okay, General He is such a courageous man, which is a blessing for our army." Guo Huai was amazed and assigned two thousand soldiers under his command to Hao Zhao, asking him to lead his army to fight.
Hao Zhao ended up with the military orders handed over by Li Le, and led his army to open the city gate quietly and directly rushed towards Xu Huang's army. Xu Huang's army was unprepared and was indeed defeated. Hao Zhao led his army to chase for more than ten miles before he led his army back.
