In fact, Guo Si is not just nothing now? His life is still facing threats at any time, because whether it is his former soldiers or the "rebellious" people in the city, they all surrounded him, holding various weapons in their hands, and whispering to kill him.

Guo Si knew that he had come to an end. He reflected on his behavior today, not because he was confused, but because of the situation. He was just a little bit unconscious that Wei Yan was so bold that he ordered a small group of troops to rush to Guzang and bring all the families of the soldiers under the city.

Wei Yan had his family in his hands, so he was invincible, because the soldiers of the Xiliang Army would never be able to watch their families launch an attack in the hands of the other party. At the same time, these Xiliang Army soldiers would not be able to break through with him, because no matter which choice would put their families to death.

So this means that as long as the family is in Wei Yan's hands, Guo Si's failure is fundamentally determined. No matter what strategy he adopts, the soldiers will never be able to work hard for him anymore. In the Han Dynasty, filial piety was the first. Even if the soldiers could abandon their wives and children, how could they ignore their parents?

Therefore, even if Guo Si's methods are not so cruel, they will inevitably fail in the end. The result is destined and has nothing to do with his attitude and means. Guo Si's attempt to rely on his cruelty to shock the soldiers was ultimately just a life-saving straw. However, the facts proved that his final efforts were futile, which eventually led to the rebellion of the relatives and separations, alone, facing the numerous sieges of the military and civilians under his rule and the enemy.

Guo Si knew that he had already reached a dead end and could not escape death no matter what. When he saw his former soldiers trying to lean on him and kill him, he immediately laughed loudly: "I, Guo Si, have been in my life, and have reached the peak of power, and have also been in a downturn. Today, I was so proud that I was able to defeat all the heroes in the world. My life is so wonderful, which is enough. As for death, what is it? Who can never die? I just left a few years ago. Pei Qing, I will wait for you in the nine springs. I hope you don't come too early, that's meaningless."

After Guo Si finished speaking, he pulled out his sword from his waist, smiled at the sky, and then committed suicide.

"Hmph, this dog thief is also a bit of blood. He chose to commit suicide after entering a case. Since that's the case, he won't suffer any bits or pieces, otherwise I will let him suffer all the hardships and die!"

Duan Tong, who watched Guo Si commit suicide under the city, laughed loudly, then stopped paying attention to Guo Si, but laughed loudly: "Guo Si is dead. General Wei has an order. This time, he killed the thief and never asked about the tyrants. If you put down your weapons and surrender, you can live. If you resist stubbornly, you can only die. Your family is here, how can you bear to be separated from their yin and yang?"

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army had long lost their fighting spirit. Now that Guo Si was dead, they naturally had no psychological burden. The only thing they were worried about was that they followed Guo Si to cause trouble and their lives were hard to save. Now seeing Duan Tong say this, they were naturally very happy and prepared to surrender.

However, a veteran soldier said, "Mr. Duan, we believe what you said, but you are not the commander of the army, so do you think your words count? We need General Wei personally to assure us."

Everyone agreed with this when they heard this. Although Duan Tong surrendered to Wei Yan and became the opponent's general, no one knew whether his words could represent the opponent's chief Wei Yan. If Wei Yan did not admit it, wouldn't they be happy for nothing and give up the opportunity to resist?

At this time, Wei Yan said solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Duan's words are what I asked him to say. His meaning is what I mean. You may have heard of the various policies of our army to treat prisoners. As long as you surrender, I will never make things difficult for you. If you are willing to join our army, it will naturally be welcome. Although our army's military discipline is strict and the treatment is generous, all the generals have not deducted the military pay of soldiers. The merits of the soldiers and the situation of bullying soldiers appearing. As long as you dare to make meritorious contributions, you will definitely get the opportunity to reward merits according to merits, and even if you are a general and a marquis, it is not impossible to be called a general."

"We believe General Wei's words. Since General Wei has said so, we naturally have nothing to doubt. We are willing to surrender!"

After receiving Wei Yan's personal guarantee, the veteran immediately put down his weapons and surrendered to Wei Yan's army before coming to Wei Yan's army.

Driven by the veterans, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army naturally followed suit, abandoning their weapons and surrendering to Wei Yan's army.

As expected, these surrendered soldiers were not treated harshly and soon met their families. At the same time, Wei Yan also stipulated that anyone who was unwilling to continue to serve in the army could be given travel expenses and sent home. If they were willing to continue to serve in the army, they would be the official army of the court in the future, and they would have the corresponding treatment like other soldiers.

Then Wei Yan told Pei Qing's military discipline and treatment in detail, but the soldiers who were hesitant to be relieved of their armor and returned to the field also gave up their previous plans and expressed their willingness to join the Han army.

Even the people in the city, some strong people, asked to join the army.

So in the next two or three hours, Wei Yan was very happy to accept the heroes who were willing to join the army. Finally, after statistics, his army expanded from 5,000 to 10,000.

After that, Wei Yan announced that he would be the prefect of Wuwei, and at the same time, he still allowed the original magistrate of Zuli County to serve as his original position, and issued a list to safeguard the people and made three rules with the people. Anyone who dared to invade the people would be severely punished and ordered that the food and grass of Li Juejun be taken out and returned to the people.

Wei Yan's actions immediately won the hearts of the people, and the people beat drums and welcomed Wei Yan's army into the city.

However, Wei Yan did not dare to stay immediately. After making some simple arrangements for Zulicheng, he immediately led his army to advance westward, completely controlling the county governor of Wuwei, Guzang City and completing the occupation of other counties. This was the result. Otherwise, once Guzang City was stolen by others, the fun would be great.

Facts prove that Wei Yan's concerns were not redundant. After all, his army was seven or eight hundred miles away from Guzang City, and even if it was full speed, it would take six or seven days. In addition, the seven or eight days after Duan Tong and his friends left Guzang City before, the distance between them could be half a month, and an accident would probably occur in this half month.

"Under normal circumstances, there should be no surprises. After all, there are a thousand people led by my fellow villager Fu Ju, whom I sent. With them, ordinary bandits should not get any advantage."

However, despite this, Wei Yan was still worried. He ordered the soldiers of the army to advance quickly and must rush to Guzang City as quickly as possible.

A few days later, seeing that the army was more than a hundred miles away from Guzang City, suddenly, a cavalry in front of him rushed over, got in front of Majesty, got off the horse, and said to Wei Yan: "General, the big thing is wrong. Guzang City was occupied by the bandit general Han Sui. Our army's chief general Fu Zuo fought hard and refused to surrender, and finally became Han Sui's captive. Life and death are unknown now..."
