Chapter 2685 Huang Zhong defeated Zhang Guifang, and Chen Gongzhi captured Yangdi City


    Chapter 2682: Huang Zhong defeated Zhang Guifang, and Chen Gongzhi captured Yangdi City


    As early as the Second Central Plains War, before the heroes attacked Dong, Chen Gong had already surrendered to Cao Cao.


    Although Chen Gong was not Cao Cao''s planner, he was also a strategist he relied on very much and was one of the five military advisors of Cao Wei.


    Cao Cao was able to defeat the strong with the weak, sweep the princes of the Central Plains, unify Yanzhou, establish Wei, and strengthen Wei to this end. The five military commanders who made the greatest contributions among the civil officials were: Xun You, Cheng Yu, Fan Li, Cao Gui, and Chen Gong.


    As for Chen Qun and Bi Gan, they are not listed because they are in charge of the government and do not participate in military affairs.


    Mao Jie, Dong Zhao, Mao Sui, Wei Wuji and others, although they are outstanding in their abilities, they are not included in the five military advisors due to their qualifications and merits.


    Among the five military advisors, Xun You is naturally the planner, Cheng Yu is the oldest, Cao Gui is the closest, and Fan Li is the one with the highest wisdom.


    Chen Gong was ranked last among the five military advisors, and his abilities and credit were not as good as the top four, but he was still deeply trusted and valued by Cao Cao.


    But now Chen Gong, who was attracted by Cao Cao, wanted to betray Cao Wei and surrender to the enemy country Qin, which is naturally a reason.


    The biggest reason why Chen Gong rebelled was not because of him, but because of Cao Cao.


    Chen Gong was a man with a strong sense of justice. He would surrender to Cao Cao because of the melee of the princes of the Central Plains at that time. They all ignored the lives and death of the people. Only Cao Cao conquered refugees and implemented the new land system to distribute land to the people.


    In that environment at that time, Cao Cao was undoubtedly under great pressure to implement the new field system.


    Seeing that Cao Cao was so courageous, Chen Gong believed that Cao Cao was a hero of the world, so he gave up his position and defected to Cao Cao, a small prince of the Central Plains.


    Facts have proved that Chen Gong has a good vision. Cao Cao is indeed a hero of the times. Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others, and even Li Zicheng, are not his opponents at all.


    Chen Gong was also very satisfied with Cao Cao''s lord at first, but gradually he realized that Cao Cao had many personality flaws, such as: suspicion, suspicion, lust, easy to inflate, etc.


    Of course, these are just small shortcomings and will not affect Chen Gong''s loyalty. What really made him feel strange was that Cao Cao acted too much by any means.


    In order to develop and strengthen the Wei Kingdom, Cao Cao openly robbed tombs, replenished human flesh and food, steadfast military force, magistrates, and close to the Demon Sect, all of which challenged Chen Gong''s moral bottom line.


    Chen Gong is a typical Confucian child with a straight temperament and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. However, even if Cao Cao''s various behaviors were difficult, Chen Gong could not bear it.


    Chen Gong had reacted to Cao Cao more than once, advising Cao Cao to be cautious about his reputation and stop doing those dirty things.


    But in Cao Cao''s opinion, Chen Gong just stood and spoke without a pain in his back.


    Don’t he want a good reputation?


    Is he willing to eat human flesh?


    If it were not forcibly, who would have been willing to do these trash things?


    Isn’t there really no way to do this?


    Cao Cao is the monarch. From his perspective, survival is more important than anything else, so between survival and morality, he will choose the former without hesitation and abandon morality and reputation.


    Chen Gong is a minister. In his eyes, survival is important, but morality is even more important. If both cannot be obtained, then sacrifice oneself to seek justice.


    Cao Cao and Chen Gong cannot say who is right or wrong, they can only say that they have different choices, which put the two on completely different paths, but they do not plan for each other.


    Chen Gong really could not tolerate Cao Cao''s behavior. After repeated admonitions failed, he wanted to abandon his official position and leave, but the people from Hei Bingtai came to him.


    At that time, Jia Xu was still in charge of the Black Ice Platform, and he had long guessed that with Chen Gong''s straightforward personality, he would definitely not be able to withstand Cao Cao''s various styles. It would be only a matter of time before the king and his ministers were separated from one''s destiny and morality.


    Jia Xu specially sent someone to stare at Chen Gong. It was not until the third time that Chen Gong and Cao Cao had a big fight, that he personally wrote a letter of discord and sent someone to secretly give it to Chen Gong.


    The content of Jia Xu''s letter of disagreement is also very simple. It is nothing more than that Chen Ming and Cao Cao is not a wise ruler. He is too despicable in the world and will not have a good end sooner or later. The Qin Dynasty is the most hopeful force to unify the world. I hope Chen Gong can help the Qin Dynasty with his help as a great righteousness and end up in chaos as soon as possible.


    Under Jia Xu''s disagreement and instigation, Chen Gong, who was originally planning to resign and live in seclusion, finally decided to contribute to the unification of the world after a fierce ideological struggle and became the third Huangzi No. 1 spy to Daqin after he succeeded Hongchang and Yuhuatian.


    Since Wei was ready to turn against Daqin, the anti-espionage operation against Daqin has never stopped. Although he has arrested many peripheral intelligence personnel, he has never touched the core, because Chen Gong, one of the five military advisors, is the internal response.


    Chen Gong was the head of the Qin Dynasty''s secret spies in Wei State, and the only secret spy who invaded the senior officials of Cao Wei. His own safety is above everything else, so he rarely takes the initiative to contact the people from the Black Ice Platform. In the only few times, no clues were left, and the Cao Wei School Office did not find him.


    Now that Qin and Wei have officially started war, Chen Gong naturally does not have to continue hiding and gives Qin troops help at critical moments, so that the Qin troops can gain more advantages in the early stages of the war, and Qin will naturally be able to crush Wei.


    Chen Gong was originally planning to expose him again when the Qin army attacked Xuchang, but he was not the only military advisor in the Yingchuan War Zone, and Cao Gui was also stared at by Cao Gui. It was difficult for him to find an opportunity, so he settled for the second best and chose Yangdi.


    Yangdi, as the former capital of Yingchuan, is also the last strong city in the western part of Yingchuan after the fall of the northwest and western defense lines.


    If Yangdi was occupied by the Qin army, then there was no need for the Wei army to guard Guban Pass anymore. They could only give up all the cities and retreat to Xuchang. However, the Qin army would not occupy Guban Pass without one soldier.


    Once you get Ebanguan, the Qin army would no longer have to take a long way to transport grain from Guangchengguan. Instead, they could transport grain from Daguguan, which is not only closer, but also safer.


    For the Qin army, there are many benefits to seize Yangdi City. It was precisely because of this that Chen Gong took the initiative to ask for his order to come to Yangdi to assist Zhang Guifang, and seize control of Yangdi City while Zhang Guifang was leading the army out.


    Zhang Guifang would go out of the city to fight, and under Chen Gong''s calculations, he had already calculated the arrival date of the Qin army, so he urged Zhang Feng and Tai Luan to march quickly, and happened to run into Huang Zhong.


    Chen Gong calculated that Zhang Guifang would not abandon the 4,000 troops outside the city and offered plans to let Zhang Feng and Tailuan consume Huang Zhong''s wave first. If Zhang Guifang leads the army to fight, she will definitely win a great victory with the help of her.


    The result was just as Chen Gong expected. Zhang Guifang did not have any doubts and decided to lead the army to fight.


    The garrisons in Yangdi City had a total of 15,000 troops. Zhang Guifang took away 12,000 troops, leaving only 3,000 troops. This was a great opportunity for Chen Gong to seize the city.


    Chen Gong first summoned all the major guards in the city on the grounds that Zhang Guifang led his troops out, and discussed on the surface how to deploy defenses, but when the people arrived, they controlled them all.


    Chen Gong directly found out his plan and showed off to the ten military marquises and three school captains at the scene: "Everyone, there is a huge gap in strength between Qin and Wei, and Wei will never escape this disaster. In order to prevent the suffering of people from the Central Plains, Chen Gong decided to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. I wonder who agrees and who opposes?"


    The three lieutenants and ten military marquis were stunned now. They never expected that Chen Gong, as a military advisor, would rebel.


    One of the lieutenants was Zhang Guifang''s confidant and directly opposed: "General Zhang fought with the Qin army outside, how could we surrender behind the scenes..."


    Before he could finish his words, he was shot by more than a dozen sharp arrows and died tragically on the spot.


    “Brother Zhang.”


    "Sir."


    The captain on the other side who was close to him and several subordinates of the captain couldn''t help but exclaim when he saw his tragic death. He glared at Chen Gong with great backbone, and then they were all killed on the spot.


    After solving these thorns, Chen Gong easily controlled the military power in the city. After all, not everyone wanted to fight to the death for Cao Wei.??????If you join Chen Gong in the Qin Dynasty, you don’t have to take responsibility or fight with the Qin Dynasty anymore. The benefits they get are even greater.


    After taking control of Yangdi, Chen Gong immediately reported the victory to the Qin army through the Black Ice Platform, and at the same time ordered the protection of the grain warehouse and material warehouse in the city. After all, these materials are the most valuable existence in Yangdi City.


    Chen Gong held a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the battlefield five miles away, and couldn''t help but murmured to himself: "Next, you just need to wait for Huang Zhong to defeat Zhang Guifang and then take over Yangdi City."


    Chen Gong did not contact Huang Zhong in advance, because in his opinion, it should be easy to defeat Zhang Guifang''s 10,000 Wei troops, and Zhang Feng and Tailuan''s 4,000 Wei troops, and there should be no need to take risks in contact.


    It is natural that Chen Gong would think so for safety reasons, but he underestimated Zhang Guifang''s ability.


    Zhang Guifang''s record in the Romance of the Gods was still very powerful. She defeated Huang Feihu, beat Huang Tianxiang, and captured several generals of Zhou camp alive. She was besieged by eighteen Zhou generals, but from early morning to midday, she finally committed suicide because she was desperate. Her comprehensive strength can be called the number one immortal in the world of the Gods.


    After Huang Zhong merged with the yellow-robed monster, although Ji Wu reached 106 and his skills were further strengthened, Zhang Guifang, who is known as the number one immortal in the world of Gods, is not simple either.


    Zhang Guifang has a magic weapon, a mortar, a spear, and a **** horse under her crotch. Jiwu is 105 points, which is 1 point worse than Huang Zhong.


    One of the effects of the skill "soul-taking" evolved from the "name-falling horsemanship" in the Romance is that it can seal the opponent''s mount and suppress the opponent is surprisingly strong.


    Of course, if only this is the case, Zhang Guifang naturally cannot be Huang Zhong''s opponent, but he also has a peak god-level general, Qiu Yin (Qiu Yin).


    Qiu Yin is a monster in the Romance of the Gods. He was appointed as the general of Qinglong Pass. He was originally a Qu Yi and cultivated into a human body. He was good at the art of left-rightness. He captured and killed Huang Tianxiang with this.


    The skill effect evolved by Qiu Yin''s Left Taoist technique in the Romance is no less than Zhang Guifang''s "Soul-Snatching".


    Although Huang Zhong''s Jiwu is as high as 106 points, he does not have the protection of all things. Facing Zhang Guifang at 105 and Qiu Yin at 104, these two oppressive generals joining forces, it is naturally difficult to win in a short period of time.


    Huang Zhong first fought with Zhang Guifang for twenty rounds, but after gaining the advantage, Qiu Yin came to help.


    Huang Zhong fought against two for twenty rounds, but still found it difficult to gain an advantage. Considering the overall situation and the greater casualties than expected, he decided to retreat temporarily.


    With the combat power of the Qin army, 10,000 vs. 16,000 Wei army. If you fight in the field, it is not difficult to win, but this time Huang Zhong is too ruthless.


    Huang Zhong marched from Juntai to Yangdi, and only rested for an hour. Before the soldiers recovered completely, they went directly to fight with Zhang Feng and Tailuan. Although Zhang Feng was killed and almost defeated the 4,000 Wei troops, they further consumed the Qin army''s physical strength.


    So, next, when facing Zhang Guifang''s 12,000 reinforcements, the Qin army''s combat effectiveness further declined.


    If Huang Zhong could kill Zhang Guifang, the Qin army would naturally win this battle, but there would be no winner between Zhang Guifang and Huang Zhong Bozhong without a few hundred rounds.


    Huang Zhong also considered this point, and realized that the Qin army was seriously exhausted, and the number of casualties had reached nearly 3,000, but he still failed to defeat the Wei army in the field. If he fought again, he would probably be in a loss-win situation, so he ordered a retreat.


    When Zhang Guifang saw that Huang Zhong finally retreated, she felt relieved. After all, the Wei army died more than the Qin army, and lost a total of 5,000 troops. Even Tailuan was shot and killed by Huang Zhong''s son Huang Xu.


    Today, Huang Xu has reached the realm of the Arrow God. Among the thousands of troops, if he attacks with archery skills, even the generals will not be able to protect him. Tailuan died under Huang Xu''s arrow because of this.


    Zhang Guifang''s troops were limited, and if she continued to fight, she would only have more casualties, so she would not have enough troops to defend Yangdi, so she did not even dare to pursue Huang Zhong after she repelled.


    However, although Zhang Guifang suffered great losses in this battle, it was a fact that he repelled the Qin army. It was one of the few victories since the battle between Qin and Wei, which greatly enhanced the morale of the Wei army. Generally speaking, there were gains and losses.


    But Zhang Guifang never expected that he was fighting **** on the front line, but his lair had been taken over by an insider, and this insider was actually military advisor Chen Gong.


    On the Yangdi City Tower, Chen Gong saw that Huang Zhong chose to withdraw his troops due to heartache of casualties, but Zhang Guifang returned victoriously, and he felt a little regretful. He did not contact Huang Zhong in advance before the war.


    He was also blamed for being too arrogant and thought Huang Zhong would win this battle and did not need to take the risk of exposure, so this kind of variable was born.


    However, Chen Gong was not at all panic. He immediately had a plan and asked his subordinates to tie him up, preparing to use the plan to deceive Zhang Guifang away.


    Zhang Guifang led the army back after cleaning the battlefield, but after the army came to the city, she realized something was wrong. The city gate was closed and it was slow to open. It was obvious that something was wrong.


    "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly..."


    "General Zhang, this city is owned by me, Zhang Hu. The military advisor Chen Gong was also captured by this lieutenant, and this lieutenant has decided to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, haha."


    The last of the three remaining lieutenants appeared on the top of the city with Chen Gong, shouting at Zhang Guifang outside the city with an arrogant look on his face.


    When Zhang Guifang heard this, her face suddenly changed and she roared at Zhang Hu, "Zhang Hu, you are crazy, you dare to betray your lord."


    "I have long since wanted to work hard for him, Cao Cao. I can''t get any benefits after working hard for so many years. It''s great to defect to the Qin Dynasty. I have all the high-ranking officials and generous gifts. General Zhang, you want to die and die by yourself. Don''t stop your brothers from making money."


    Hearing Zhang Hu''s words, a cold light flashed in Zhang Guifang''s eyes and she shouted coldly: "Zhang Hu, let the military advisor be released soon. I will give you a chance to survive, otherwise don''t blame me for being unkind."


    "I''m gonna..."


    Zhang Hu was about to curse, but Chen Gong, who pretended to be a hostage, couldn''t stand it anymore and shouted first: "General Zhang, don''t blame me, you''re leaving soon. Zhang Hu has contacted Qin Jun, and Huang Zhong will return soon. If you want to leave, it''s too late."


    "What?"


    Zhang Guifang couldn''t help but exclaim when she heard this. After all, if Huang Zhong really returned, he would not need to go to war with him. He just had to entangle him and prevent him from retreating, and his army would be swallowed up by the Qin army that followed him.


    When Zhang Hu heard Chen Gong''s words, he immediately understood. He immediately covered Chen Gong''s mouth and cursed: "Shut up, dare to say another word, I will throw you off the city immediately."


    Chen Gong and Zhang Hu sang together, and had completely frightened Zhang Guifang and began to consider whether to siege or retreat, but his 10,000 troops had no siege equipment at all, and the Qin army would not only make a comeback in half an hour, so only by retreating can the army be preserved.


    "Military advisor, I''m sorry."


    Zhang Guifang looked at Chen Gong with an apology and gritted her teeth and ordered: "Retreat."


    Seeing Zhang Guifang leading his army to retreat, Chen Gong and Zhang Hu were relieved and finally deceived the evil star. After all, this person was the master who defeated Huang Zhong.


    Zhang Guifang has a great prestige among the Yangdi defenders. If he really attacked the city, his old subordinates in the city might even have a counterattack, so they will definitely not be able to defend themselves. The best choice is to cheat him away.


    "Military advisor, the last general''s performance just now is pretty good." Zhang Hu said with a flattering look on his face.


    "It''s okay, I will ask Emperor Qin for your contribution."


    "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."
