Guo Jia was ready to go out of the city to surrender, and General Xuzhou wanted to send troops and horses to accompany him, but Guo Jia refused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Guo Jia said to everyone: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Guanzhong outside the city, if Chen Wenzhao really wants to take my life, even if all the troops in the city are dispatched, it will be useless." ”
"In that case, I'll just go out of the city alone."
explained some things, and before leaving, Guo Jia summoned a few henchmen and generals.
Guo Jia secretly told them: "Those who hear the news of surrender and have a happy face must have two hearts. ”
"If Chen Wenzhao agrees to protect the lord's clan, then everything will be over; If not, kill these generals first, and then defend the city, and drag it out as long as you can! ”
These confidants and generals all knew that Guo Jia's trip was full of hardships and dangers, and immediately agreed with tears.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch!"
The gate of Tanxian County was slowly opened, and Guo Jia rode alone, slowly walking towards the battle formation of the Guanzhong Army.
In the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, this thin figure actually has a feeling of leisurely strolling.
Just after Guo Jia left the city, the gate of Tanxian County was closed again, but Guo Jia never looked back, just riding on the horse and moving forward slowly.
The light of the morning sun shone on Guo Jia's face, Guo Jia actually slowly closed his eyes, and let the breeze ruffle the white hair on his temples.
"How beautiful the sun is, but it's a pity that life is too short."
Guo Jia's face was extremely pale, and the sun reflected a dazzling light on it, and with his white clothes, there was a unique charm of dust.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The war horse walked slowly, but Guo Jia suddenly coughed violently.
felt something in his throat, but Guo Jia forcibly swallowed it into his stomach, and his face became more and more pale.
Seeing Guo Jia walking towards him, pawn man immediately clenched his fists, and his eyes were a little red.
Originally, Dian Wei died, and Dian Man should have been filial piety for three years, but when Chen Xu found out that the assassin was from Xuzhou, Dian Man immediately rejoined the battlefield.
In two years, Dian Man didn't know how many Cao soldiers he had killed, but the hatred in his heart never subsided.
In Dian Man's eyes, Dian Wei is not only his father, but also a big hero and hero he has always admired.
Therefore, for the mastermind who killed Dian Wei, Dian Man naturally hated him.
"Good thief, you still dare to go out of the city!"
Dian Man roared, and actually waved the halberd in his hand directly, and then rushed towards Guo Jia with a murderous awe.
The generals of the Cao army standing on the city wall were all nervous when they saw this situation, and some of them even shouted loudly: "Be careful!" ”
"Come back!"
At this moment, Chen Xu's voice sounded, and although Dian Man was unwilling in his heart, he still held the reins.
It's just that his eyes are still red, like a fierce beast, looking at Guo Jia who is walking slowly.
Guo Jia was like a fairy out of the dust, he didn't care about Dian Man's hatred for him at all, and even smiled at him gently when he rode past Dian Man.
"Quack, quack, quack!"
Dian Man gritted his teeth, and his joints were pinched and creaked, but he still held back the anger in his heart and did not step forward to kill Guo Jia.
"Drive!"
Chen Xu took a few steps forward, came to the front of Guo Jia, and said, "You want to surrender?" ”
If it were before, Chen Xu would definitely not have this attitude towards Guo Jia.
However, after experiencing Dian Wei's incident, even if he admired Guo Jia's talent in his heart, Chen Xu couldn't face Guo Jia calmly.
Guo Jia didn't care at all about Chen Xu's bad attitude, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
Chen Xu immediately laughed and said: "I have been besieging Tan County for a year, and I don't know how many soldiers have been killed and wounded, and how much food has been consumed. ”
"Seeing that the city is crumbling, you want to go out of the city and surrender, which is a little too taken for granted."
Chen Xu knew that Guo Jia would never betray the Cao family.
So this time, as long as Chen Xu accepts Guo Jia's surrender, he can't kill the Cao family.
Even, even Guo Jia, the main culprit who murdered Dian Wei, couldn't kill him.
As a superior, Chen Xu sometimes has too much helplessness, and many times he can't do things according to his preferences, but has to take care of the overall situation.
In fact, this time Chen Xu didn't think about letting Guo Jia continue to live.
The reason why Guo Jia was allowed to go out of the city was that Chen Xu wanted to look down on the first strategist of the Cao family in front of him with the attitude of a victor.
Guo Jia was still not annoyed or angry, and still smiled and said: "Although Tan County is crumbling, there are still 100,000 soldiers in Xuzhou who can fight. ”
"If the King of Qin insists on not accepting our surrender, my lord will send his henchmen and generals to defend every city, how long does the King of Qin think it will take to take Xuzhou and Qingzhou?"
Chen Xu sneered: "If there are really 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, how can Cao Ang abandon the city and flee?" ”
"Tan County is not only the capital of Xuzhou, but also the seat of Qi State, once Tan County is broken, the people in Qing and Xu Prefecture will be panicked, and the officials of various counties and counties will not look at the wind?"
Guo Jia looked up to the sky and laughed: "The army in Xuzhou that can go out of the city to fight does not have 100,000 soldiers and horses, but if it is an army that can defend the city, don't say that there are only 100,000 people, 500,000!" ”
Guo Jia suddenly opened his arms, hugged the void and said, "Those county soldiers who are loyal to the Cao family, the private soldiers of the Haoqiang family, and the people in the territory, they can all quickly transform into soldiers guarding the city. ”
"If King Qin insists on being aggressive, it's a big deal that the jade will be burned, and I wonder how long the logistics supply in Guanzhong can last!"
Guo Jia grinned, his eyes shining on his white teeth, which looked extremely dazzling.
Although Guo Jia's words were a bit exaggerated, they had to let Chen Xu think carefully.
If Cao Ang sent his henchmen and generals to defend desperately in every important city, even if Chen Xu could break through them one by one, it would take a long time.
Even the soldiers who participated in the siege of the city will suffer a lot of casualties.
However, Chen Xu resented Guo Jia and Cao Ang for killing Dian Wei, how could he be threatened by Guo Jia?
"I'm going to try, kill you first, and then break through Tan County and slaughter everyone in the city, how many people dare to help Cao Ang defend the city!"
"Whew!"
Chen Xu stabbed the spear in his hand and ran directly to Guo Jia's throat, if Chen Xu was really stabbed, Guo Jia would have no reason to live.
"The lord has mercy!"
Zhou Yu, Tian Feng and others shouted almost at the same time.
"Buzz!"
The tip of Chen Xu's gun stopped half an inch away from Guo Jia's throat, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Yu, Tian Feng, and Zhao Yun marched forward at the same time.
Zhou Yu took the lead and said: "Please also ask the lord to take a break from the wrath of the thunder, compared to personal hatred, it is a big deal to seize the remaining territory of Xuzhou without blood." ”
Chen Xu didn't reply, staring at Guo Jia with his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Since you guessed that I would accompany General Dian to Jiwu, you should know my character." ”
In the face of the aggressive Chen Xu, Guo Jia never changed his face, even if the tip of the gun was against his throat, it was still the same.
Guo Jia looked at Chen Xu with a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, if King Qin's personality can be more ruthless, he will really be invulnerable." ”
Chen Xu replied: "Joke, if I didn't treat my soldiers sincerely, how could I lay today's foundation!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he was immediately speechless.
Chen Xu's weakness of valuing affection and righteousness is actually not his strength, if it weren't for Chen Xu's valuing affection and righteousness, I'm afraid many people would not necessarily be dead set on him.
"Hey."
Guo Jia stretched out his right hand, slowly pushed the tip of the gun away, and then sighed deeply.
Raising his head, Guo Jia squinted his eyes and looked at the morning light, and said, "I know that with the character of King Qin, he will definitely not be able to tolerate me Guo Jia." ”
"In fact, I didn't plan to go back alive when I went out of the city this time."
Speaking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help coughing violently.
He took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, and a dazzling red suddenly appeared on the white handkerchief.
"You!"
When Chen Xu saw the situation in front of him, he immediately took the spear back, and his eyes were a little suspicious.
Guo Jia's coughing still did not stop, but coughed more and more, and his face, which was originally as pale as paper, also had a sickly flush.
After coughing for a long time, Guo Jia stopped coughing, clutched his chest and gasped violently.
Guo Jia's body shook twice on the war horse, and he almost fell off the horse, but his hands stubbornly grabbed the mane of the war horse.
After breathing for a long time, Guo Jia slowly calmed down, and said with some bitterness: "My life has come to an end, if I didn't ride a war horse, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get here at all." ”
Raising his head, Guo Jia muttered to himself: "I promised the old lord that as long as Guo Jia lives for a day, he will not let Daqi perish." ”
"However, I really can't hold on, and I don't know how long Daqi can last."
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia couldn't help but shed two lines of tears in his eyes, but he didn't have the strength to erase them.
At this time, the killing intent in Chen Xu's heart had slowly dissipated.
In the face of death, any hatred can be dissolved, looking at Guo Jia's appearance, his body has reached the point of running out of oil.
Since Guo Jia is already dying, why kill him again to avenge Dian Wei?
At this time, Chen Xu thought of Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and Chen Gong, who were getting old and sick, and finally passed away helplessly.
No matter how amazing the heroes are, they can't resist the erosion of the years, and there will always be a moment when life comes to an end.
Zhou Yu, Tian Feng, and Zhao Yun also felt related at this time, and they were silent.
Chen Xu took a deep breath and said to Guo Jia: "What are the conditions for surrendering the city?" ”
A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face, and he said, "I only hope that King Qin can let go of the Cao clan and the people in Qing and Xu Prefectures, that's all." ”
Chen Xu thought for a while and said, "If it's just this condition, Lone agreed!" ”
The smile on Guo Jia's face grew bigger and bigger, and he turned the horse's head with all his might, and made a gesture to the city guard, and the city gate was slowly opened.
"Poof!"
However, in the next moment, Guo Jia's body suddenly fell from the war horse.
Chen Xu hurriedly jumped off the war horse and probed Guo Jia's snort, only to find that Guo Jia had lost his life.
Even though Guo Jia's body had run out of oil, he still dragged his sick body out of the city to meet Chen Xu and discuss the future direction of Qing and Xu Erzhou.
After the wish was fulfilled, Guo Jia had no love for the rest of his life, and he no longer had to forcibly endure the torture of illness.
Maybe for Guo Jia, this is also a good ending, after all, he fulfilled his promise, that is, in his lifetime, the Qi State will not be annexed by Chen Xu.
As for Cao Jun's surrender to Chen Xu in the future, this matter has nothing to do with Guo Jia.
may seem to many people that Guo Jia is evading, but what can he do? No matter how wise Guo Jia is, in the face of the absolute strength gap, he can't change anything.
Moreover, his life has come to an end, and even if he has the heart to change something, he doesn't have the ability to do so.
"Do your best, and then die."
Sighing heavily, Chen Xu suddenly had a feeling of rejoicing, and the anger of revenge that he was holding back in his heart began to slowly dissipate.
The generals of the Cao army on the city wall all knew a lot about Guo Jia's physical condition, and knew that if Guo Jia hadn't had an obsession in his heart, he would have been unable to survive a long time ago.
Over the years, Guo Jia has also become a banner among the Cao family, plus he is friendly and never puts on a show, and he is also deeply loved by Cao Jun's soldiers.
Seeing Guo Jia fall off his horse, many Cao Army generals knew that Guo Jia's life had finally come to an end.
Many people lay on the city wall and cried, and some even put down their weapons and rushed out desperately, wanting to see Guo Jia.
Seeing this scene in front of them, the generals of Guanzhong also felt an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.
Chen Xu turned his head and said to the generals: "Since ancient times, loyal and righteous people are worthy of respect, and now Guo Jia is canonized as a marquis, so that his son can inherit the title and bury him!" ”
After Chen Xu's order was conveyed, the soldiers of the Cao Army who stayed in Tan County were secretly grateful in their hearts.
There are also some generals of Cao Jun, who were originally fluctuating, and they also breathed a long sigh of relief.
In their opinion, Chen Xu can even treat Guo Jia, the mastermind who killed Dian Wei, so kindly, let alone them ordinary generals.
When Cao Ang learned that Chen Xu agreed to surrender and would protect the Cao clan, he immediately conveyed an order to Cao Pi in Qingzhou to lay down his arms and surrender.
Not only that, Cao Ang also reassembled the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses brought from Tanxian County to unload their weapons, and handed over the army to Cao Ren and Xu Chu to wait for the incorporation of the Guanzhong army.
The day after explaining everything, Xu Chu found Cao Ang's body and a letter.
When Cao Ren opened the letter and read the contents, he couldn't stop crying, and hugged Cao Ang's corpse and cried.
It turned out that from the beginning, Cao Ang was ready to die for his country.
Although in order to protect the Cao clan, he could ask Guo Jia and Chen Xu to discuss surrender, but everyone could surrender, but Cao Ang could not surrender.
Even if Chen Xu can let Cao Ang go, Cao Ang's existence will always become a stumbling block to the development of the Cao family, and Chen Xu will definitely be full of vigilance for the entire Cao family because of Cao Ang's existence.
The most important thing is that Cao Ang is extremely proud in his heart, if it were not for the interests of his family, he would rather die in battle than surrender.
The Cao clan can surrender, but Cao Ang himself will never surrender, and this is the only thing he can explain to Cao Cao after he dies.
In this way, Cao Ang has only one last way left, that is, to die and die for the country.
In 226 AD, Guo Jia died of illness, Cao Ang killed himself, Cao Pi and the rest of the Cao generals surrendered, and the two states of Qing and Zhou were determined.
