Chapter 618: Chen Liucheng is broken
The late autumn night was still very cold, and the cold wind was freezing and biting, but on such a night, the soldiers of the Huainan Army had already gotten up early, and their only goal tonight was to take down this century-old ancient city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For some soldiers of the Huainan Army, Chen Liucheng is no stranger to them, because once upon a time they were also the masters of this Chen Liucheng.
It's a pity that later, because of Yuan Shaojun's influx, the lord gave up Yanzhou completely, so he retreated from Chen Liuzhong, and now he is going to take this fortified city.
All the soldiers are holding on, people bite the cloth, and the horses are grassy in order not to make any sound.
"Returning to the lord, everything is ready!" Zhang He reported to Yuan Yao over there.
"Where's the Xin Spleen?" Yuan Yao knew that it was impossible for his subordinates to coax him, and he had also made preparations a long time ago, but he was still vigilant against Yuan Yao on Xin Spleen's side.
"Lord Xin Spleen has already sent someone into the city!" Chen Zhi said to Yuan Yao at 1510.
"Yes!" Yuan Yao nodded, he didn't know what he was thinking, did Yuan Yao really trust Xin Spleen? This is only known to the ghost, but one thing that all the Huainan troops present know that even if there is no Xin Spleen, Yuan Yao will attack Chen Liu, he Yuan Yao can't afford it, he is also gambling with Yuan Tan, betting that Yuan Tan will not dare to fight with him Yuan Yao in Yanzhou to the point of not dying.
As long as Yuan Tan is instigated, then Yuan Yao will win half of the victory.
"Uncle Zhi, you continue to monitor Xin Spleen, if Xin Spleen has no action to reward meritorious deeds, if there is anything abnormal in Xin Spleen, you should cut it first and then play!"
"Yes!" Chen Zhi took the order and left.
"General Zhang He, I will teach you the task of whether these tens of thousands of soldiers and I Huainan can open up the situation in Yanzhou, I hope General Zhang He will not let me down!" Yuan Yao looked at Zhang He on the side again.
Zhang He thought that Yuan Yao would personally preside over this battle, because although Yuan Yao gave Zhang He countless conditions when he surrendered Zhang He before, but after waiting for Zhang He to join Yuan Yao's army, he also knew that it was difficult for him to come out, because there were too many good generals around Yuan Yao, not to mention others, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, Lu Bu was a prince who commanded tens of thousands of troops without the slightest problem, although Zhang Liao had not been a prince, but he had the identity of Lu Bu, Yuan Yao's father-in-law, and was much closer to him Zhang He. What's more, Zhang Liao's ability is also there.
There are also Chen to these young generals, and even those Wenchen such as Lu Su have the talent of commanders.
After all, he Zhang He is a general, and now that Yuan Yao didn't abandon him first, what luxury can he have.
But in such a state, Yuan Yao gave up the opportunity to attack Chen Liu this time.
If what Xin Spleen said is true, this is completely an opportunity to give credit.
Waiting for the henchmen in the city to open the city gate, Yuan Tan is military god is still alive, and it is difficult to return to the sky, even if Xin Spleen makes a trick Zhang He, he can also ensure that he can retreat with his whole body, and it is even possible to take the opportunity to seize the city wall.
"Lord, this?" Zhang He wanted to excuse himself, but Yuan Yao grabbed his hand and paid it up, Yuan Yao gently patted Zhang He's shoulder and said to Zhang He, "Jun Yi, I promised you to let you lead an army independently and fight one side, but there has been no action, this is not that I broke my promise, but Jun Yi, I am afraid you also know that you have recently joined my Huainan Army, if you let you be the commander, it will only make people unconvinced!" "Zhang He is a famous general and a handsome talent, only Yuan Yao himself knows, what did he say? He can't say that history proves that Zhang He is capable.
Zhang He is a general, if he really wants to be more serious, the generals will inevitably say that if Zhang He is a defeated general, Tan He Yanyong?
What's more, even if they knew that Zhang He was capable, those Qiu Ba and Yuan Yao's subordinates were all unruly, Wen Wu was the first, Wu Wu was the second, who would think that he was inferior to others? Therefore, it is not an overnight thing to let Zhang He independently command an army.
This time, Yuan Yao just wanted Zhang He to be the commander, at least let Zhang He be the commander of the local war, the first is to make Zhang He famous, and the second is also a kind of running-in period.
Zhang He listened to Yuan Yao's explanation, and couldn't help but feel a burst of heat in his heart, originally he thought that Yuan Yao would be like those princes Going back on his word, flying birds and hiding their bows, he Zhang He no longer paid attention to it when he had no use value.
But now after listening to Yuan Yao's explanation, Zhang He knew that he was wrong to blame the lord.
"He will definitely live up to the trust of the lord, and he can't take Chen Liucheng, Zhang He will come to see him!" Zhang He issued a military order to Yuan Yao.
"You don't have to raise your head!" Yuan Yao shook his head, if Zhang He really committed suicide, he Yuan Yao wanted to cry, he could still be summoned again if the soldiers and horses were lost, it would be difficult to cultivate this good general, Zhang He's current quality was all fought step by step on the battlefield by reading military books.
"Just go all out!"
……
Hao Shao is a capable person, even a person like Yuan Shao who is very happy can promote Hao Shao, although Yuan Tan has always been unhappy with Hao Shao, but he is also reusing Hao Shao, it is enough to see Hao Shao's ability.
Every day, Hao Shao has to inspect the city, first, to boost morale, and secondly, to see the shortcomings on the city, and to correct it in time, and Hao Shao is no exception on this day.
"The brothers have also worked hard in the past few days, but don't be careless, the opposite side is Yuan Yao's Huainan army! Hold on and wait for the Huainan Army to retreat, naturally your credit is indispensable! Hao Shao said cheering up his subordinates above the city.
"Yes!" Hao Shao is still very prestigious in the army, after all, Hao Shao never eats the blood of soldiers, and he is rewarded for his merits, who doesn't want to follow such a general.
"By the way, Lord Xin Ping has been to the castle tower before!" The lieutenant general under his command suddenly said this.
"Lord Xin Ping has been here?" Hao Shao's mouth repeated, but he was puzzled in his heart, why did he run to this city without sleeping at night.
If it were on weekdays, Hao Shao would definitely not think about it, but now is different from the past, the changes in the past few days are too great, first Zhuge Liang said that Xin Ping defected to the enemy, and then evidence emerged to prove that Zhuge Liang defected to the enemy, and he Hao Shao couldn't avoid thinking too much.
You say that this Xin Ping cares about the soldiers, but this East and West City Gate has nothing to do with his Xin Ping, and even Liu Beijun was stationed before, because Liu Bei was under house arrest, and the soldiers and horses under his hands were naturally monitored, Hao Shao distributed his soldiers and horses on the East and West City Gates, and he Xin Ping should also go to the north gate of their Xin family to visit the soldiers.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
"Let's go, follow me to the North City Gate!" Hao Shao said to the guards under his hand with interest.
Immediately, Hao Shao took his guards and went in the direction of the north city gate.
The scale of Chen Liucheng is not small, even if Hao Shao got into the carriage in the city, he walked for almost half an hour, and saw that the north gate was getting closer and closer.
Hao Shao suddenly stopped the carriage for his subordinates.
"What time is it?" Hao Shao asked his subordinates on the side.
"General Hui, it's just past the time of the child, and now it's the ugly time!" The people under his hand responded to Hao Shao.
"Ugly?" Hao Shao immediately raised his eyebrows, and continued to ask in a questioning tone: "Have I ever ordered that there will be no five lights after the time!" "Five lamps means that there are five torches within ten paces, but now the lights above the city are not bright, but they are still bright.
"The general did give orders! This may be the captain of the North City Gate who forgot it. Hao Shao's lieutenant said to Hao Shao, after all, this north city gate is not their people, but the Xin family's people, and of course the implementation of Hao Shao's military law is a bit inadequate.
"That's not right!" Hao Shao shook his head, he looked at the North City Gate over there, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly Hao Shao's eyes widened.
"Let's go, let's go!" Hao Shao's face immediately changed.
"What's wrong with the general?" Hao Shao's lieutenant was very puzzled, why did this general suddenly change his expression, isn't it just a little more light ahead?
"Xin Ping is going to be reversed!" Hao Shao said this with great certainty.
"Xin Ping is going to be reversed?" The adjutant was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect the general of his family to say such words, "Before the general, didn't he wash away the grievances of Lord Xin Ping before?" "The adjutant still doesn't want to believe that Xin Ping will rebel, you need to know who Xin Ping is? He is Yuan Tan's old minister, and he is also the person who helped Yuan Tan to that position, how could he rebel so quickly?
"I don't know~!" Hao Shao also shook his head. He also thought about the whole thing, Xin Ping was wronged, Zhuge Liang may also be wronged, but the current fact is that Xin Ping is going to rebel.
The north gate is guarded by the people of the Xin family, and at this time, Xin Ping was already annoyed that Yuan Tan could not disobey Yuan Tan's orders again, and Xin Ping went to the east gate to condolence tonight, which was simply a temptation.
There is another key, that is, Hao Shao has not seen Xin Spleen for a while.
This No. 2 person in the Xin family has really disappeared for a few days.
"General, where do I go now?" Although Hao Shao's lieutenant still didn't understand what was going on, he still believed in his own general, although Hao Shao was not very old, his intuition ability on the battlefield was much stronger than him, and he was also convincing.
"The city is too guarded!" Hao Shao said.
"Taishou Mansion?" Living in the Taishou Mansion is the current lord of Hao Shao, the so-called Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Tan.
"Isn't the general going to transfer troops?" The adjutant general said suspiciously, it would be good if Xin Ping had not found out about the rebellion before, but now that he has found out, he should go to the East and West Gates to transfer troops and horses to suppress it.
"Find the lord!" Hao Shao really hopes that everything he sees is a coincidence, and he also hopes that this is a misunderstanding, Hao Shao still has his own selfishness, he wants to use Yuan Tan to see if Yuan Tan can give Xin Ping a lost way.
Huainan Army has been famous for a long time, and he Hao Shao is also a new famous general, what he is best at is defensive warfare, and he hopes to use Chen Liu to play the limelight of his Hao Shao famous general.
This is where he became famous, and he didn't want to be ruined.
There is another reason, that is, I am afraid that the time will be too late, it will be half an hour from here to the nearest east gate, plus the deployment of troops and horses will not be more than an hour, and it will be too late for an hour, and Xin Ping will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry.
……
"Have you really made a decision, master?" On the north gate of Chen Liucheng, a master and a servant were discussing something.
These two people are none other than Xin Ping and his henchmen.
"Do I have any other options?" Xin Ping smiled bitterly, he didn't want to betray his lord Yuan Tan, but his younger brother was still in Yuan Yao's hands. As long as Yuan Yao took Xin Spleen to the city and shook it twice, Yuan Tan would be able to cut him Xin Ping if he couldn't say it.
"Family master, we can send someone to Yuan Yao'er's camp to support Yuan Yao'er and rescue the second master when Yuan Yao'er is attacking the city!" The home on the side will propose.
"Rescued? Easier said than done! "The eldest brother is like a father, Xin Ping and Xin Spleen are two people who have depended on each other since childhood, and for his younger brother, Xin Ping is more concerned about his son than he is.
It doesn't matter if he dies, he won't sit idly by and watch his brother die.
"But!" The family general on the side still had to speak, because he knew that the master of his family was loyal to Yuan Tan, and Xin Ping was not a treacherous person.
|“ Nothing but! Xin Ping stretched out his hand to stop it
"My lord, it's time!" A defender of the north gate came up and reported to Xin Ping.
"Okay, let's go according to plan!"
"Yes!"
"You go down too, let me be alone!" Xin Ping also waved his hand to let his subordinates leave, and he stayed alone in the city.
"Hao Shao, Hao Shao, I hope you will live up to the old master's trust in you!" It turned out that he went to the West City Gate to condolence before, which was all planned by Xin Ping, and the ten steps and five lights were also deliberately done by Xin Ping, in order to make Hao Shao vigilant.
"Lord, when my brother is safe, I will definitely repay my lord with death!" Xin Ping knelt down in the direction of Chen Liucheng's mansion in the city with no one around.
Chen couldn't stay behind, even Hao Shao's army couldn't hold it here, and being slandered by Zhuge Liang made Yuan Tan alienate him a lot from Xin Ping, and after missing some intrigues, Xin Ping also recovered his original ability.
The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Xin Ping has long seen that Chen can't stay behind, and good news comes from the north from time to time, how Guo Tu is capable He Xin Ping doesn't know? But now Guo Tu is defeated everywhere he goes, if he Guo Tu is really so capable, I am afraid that he would have swept the Central Plains a long time ago, and he would not have let Yuan Tan be below everywhere when Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were fighting before.
This can only show one problem, that is, there are changes in Hebei, perhaps this is probably a trap.
Since Yanzhou is destined to be unstoppable, it is better to give up, giving up Chen Liu's abandonment of Yanzhou may not be a bad thing for Yuan Tan.
With Yuan Yao's help, Yuan Shang could not be dealt with by Yuan Tan.
It's better to give up Yanzhou and go all out to deal with Hebei, Yuan Yao wants both to lose, he can't want a balanced situation, so when the time comes, Yuan Yao will only want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the two sides to divide the victory and defeat.
If Yuan Shang can gather all his strength to deal with Yuan Shang's army, fight quickly and pacify, Hebei will still have the ability to fight with Yuan Yao in the Central Plains.
Reducing losses and withdrawing from Yanzhou to go all out to deal with Yuan Shang's troops and horses in Hebei Province and fighting a quick victory, this is Xin Ping's strategy for Yuan Tan.
……
Chen Liucheng is in the Taishou Mansion, and a banquet has just ended here, General Yuan Tan and Yuan have Chen Liucheng as a barrier, but he can rest assured that he can enjoy himself in the city, and seeing through Yuan Yao'er's tricks has made General Yuan Tan and Yuan Happy for many days.
In addition, the good news from Hebei made Yuan Tanxi smile, so he naturally feasted the guests, this has just ended, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is also brightly lit.
Hao Shao's carriage also arrived at the gate of the Taishou Mansion in the city, and Hao Shao didn't care about the report or anything like that, so he got off the carriage and rushed towards the Taishou Mansion.
"Who dares to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion! Want to die? Hao Shao and the others are also not well-known, and under the night, wearing armor and carrying weapons at their waists, Yuan Tan's personal guards are heartbeating.
"Where is the lord, where is the lord!" Hao Shao hurriedly ran into Yuan Tan's mansion.
"General Hao Shao?" Yuan Tan's guards who were guarding were also stunned, because wasn't this person in a hurry not Hao Shao, the chief general of Chen Liu?
"Where's the lord?" Under Hao Shao's questioning, Yuan Tan's personal guards here also responded: "This dinner has just ended, and the lord has already slept!" General Hao Shao might as well come back tomorrow! ”
"Come back tomorrow?" This matter is all urgent, he Hao Shao dares to come tomorrow, and this Chen Liucheng can change his surname tomorrow.
"This matter is urgent. Don't delay in the slightest! If it's delayed, you can't afford to eat it all! Hao Shao threatened.
"This!" A few of Yuan Tan's personal guards, you look at me, I look at you, and they have no idea about each other.
"Let's go!" Hao Shao looked at the appearance of these colleagues and knew that they had no idea, so it was better to go over directly, Hao Shao couldn't help but step forward and pushed away Yuan Tan's personal guards who were blocking in front of him, and walked into the Taishou Mansion by himself.
"General Hao Shao, General Hao Shao!" The guards guarding the door were also anxious, and followed Hao Shao into the Taishou Mansion, followed by Hao Shao and Yuan Tan's other guards.
"Is the lord in this room?" As soon as Hao Shao entered the mansion, he was making a lot of noise and shouting the name of the lord Yuan Tan, and in desperation, the guard could only tell Hao Shao which courtyard Yuan Tan was in.
Sure enough, on the bed, Yuan Tan was lying there and sleeping, this ruddy complexion This is enjoying a lot of delicious food, the house is full of wine, it seems that Yuan Tan has drunk a lot.
"Lord, lord! General Hao Shao asks to see! Yuan Tan's guards stepped forward and shook Yuan Tan, hoping that Yuan Tan would respond, but Yuan Tan only shook his head twice, changed his position, and continued to sleep.
It's clear that you can't wake up by calling alone.
"Someone, go get water!" Hao Shao shouted to his subordinates.
"Ahhh Looking at Hao Shao's posture, he was going to splash cold water on Yuan Tan to wake him up.
Immediately, Yuan Tan's guards over there panicked, if they poured cold water on Yuan Tan, they would have a few heads enough to cut off, they were Yuan Tan's personal guards should not let others come closer, but now not only did they put Hao Shao in the mansion in front of Yuan Tan, but now Hao Shao is going to splash Yuan Tan who is sleeping with cold water, isn't this looking for death?
"General Hao Shao can't! This is the following offense! ”
"I can't care about it so much!" If it were usual, Hao Shao would not dare to do this, but now is a critical moment, "If something happens, everything has me, you all step down!" Hao Shao took all the blame off.
"No, that's not what we meant!" Yuan Tan's personal guards were still hesitating, but they were much better than before, because Hao Shao was carrying most of the black cauldron.
"General, the water is coming!!" The man who had brought water from the well in the courtyard returned.
"Get out of here!" Hao Shao didn't care about those Yuan Tan's personal guards at all, and directly picked up a basin of cold water and poured down on Yuan Tan over there.
"Si Si Hu Huhu! Ahhh Yuan Tan, who was still asleep in bed just now, suddenly became a soup chicken, which was accompanied by screams, even if he was sleepy, he didn't sleep now.
"Who, who?" Yuan Tan's eyes widened and he suddenly climbed up from the bed, this is about to enter winter, and the cold of this weather is very heavy. Yuan Tan jumped up suddenly, and immediately locked up the suspect, because Hao Shao was the only one in front of him who was still holding the murder weapon.
"Hao Bodao, if you can't give me an explanation today, I will definitely spare you!" Everyone has the gas to get up, it's just the size, and it's just restraint, and Yuan Tan is now the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he doesn't need restraint at all, so this getting up gas is even bigger, not to mention that Hao Shao used cold water to wake Yuan Tan up.
Now it's going to be winter, and this is a basin of cold water poured from head to bottom of the feet, which can be comfortable.
"If the lord wants to punish Shao, he can say a word, but now is not the time to deal with Shao! At the north city gate, Xin, "Before Hao Shao could speak, he heard a sudden bang in the city, followed by a shouting and killing sound all day long.
Hao Shao's face turned pale immediately, he knew that he still hadn't had time.
"Yuan Yaojun has attacked the city?" Yuan Tan also reacted, and immediately rushed out of the room, the place where Yuan Tan lived was also considered to be a towering terrain, but from the outside of the room, he could see the fire in the north of Chen Liucheng.
