Three days later, Wang Kai summoned everyone to start the expedition.

In this attack on Guanzhong, Wang Kai only brought Ma Chao, Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong with him, because there were only a few Dong Zhuo remnants in the Guanzhong area.

After entering Fufeng County from Longguan in Hanyang County, Wang Kai's army quickly captured the first city - Wangxian County.

After that, Wang Kaijun quickly marched towards Chencang.

Because there were secret agents arranged by Xu Rong in Wangxian County, Xu Rong, who was stationed in Chencang, knew the news of Wang Kai's army before the arrival of Wang Kai's army.

Despite this, Xu Rong was not afraid at all, after all, Chen Cang was a fortified city, and he still had more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands.

Besides, after Wang Kai's army continued to penetrate from Wangxian, they finally came to the outside of Chencang City.

When Wang Kai saw the Xu character banner hanging on Chen Cang City, he immediately said: "I didn't expect that Chen Cang was stationed in Xu Rongbu, it seems that it will take a little effort to enter Guanzhong." ”

Subsequently, Wang Kai quickly ordered the camp.

After Xu Rong in Chencang City saw that Wang Kai's army began to set up camp, he only glanced at it twice and didn't pay attention anymore, because he wouldn't go out of the city to attack the camp.

After Wang Kai's army was stationed outside Chencang City, Wang Kai suddenly thought about it in the tent.

'This Xu Rong is not Dong Zhuo's descendant, he shouldn't hate me very much, I can try to surrender, if I attack Chen Cang, it will not be good for me to take Guanzhong. ’

As soon as he thought of it, Wang Kai quickly wrote a letter of persuasion.

The next day, Wang Kai ordered Luo Cheng to shoot his surrender letter on the city tower.

When the soldiers under Xu Rong's command saw a sharp arrow tied to the document on the city tower, one of the soldiers immediately took down the document and handed it to Xu Rong.

After Xu Rong took the document from the soldier, he opened it in surprise and looked at it.

"General Xu Rong personally opened, now Dong Zhuo has been ambushed, the general stationed in Chencang is no longer of much significance, I know the general's talent, the general is not as good as Kaecheng to surrender, I will treat each other with courtesy and entrust me with important tasks."

After reading Wang Kai's letter of persuasion, Xu Rong was suddenly a little moved, after all, he was not a confidant under Dong Zhuo, and he and Wang Kai did not have any deep hatred, but he did not immediately agree to open the city, because he also wanted to test whether Wang Kai was qualified to become his new master, so Xu Rong did not reply to Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai waited for two days and found that Xu Rong had not replied, he suddenly felt that it should be impossible for Xu Rong to surrender, so he immediately sent troops to attack Chen Cang.

After Xu Rong saw that Wang Kai commanded the army to attack the city, he also quickly commanded the defenders to defend.

The two armies fought for a whole day, and Wang Kai's army did not get any advantage, after all, Chen Cang was not easy to capture, and with the command of Xu Rong, who had good command ability, it was still a little difficult for Wang Kai to take advantage of anything.

Although Chen Cang was not easy to fight, Wang Kai still attacked continuously for more than half a month.

Until this time, Wang Kaijun still failed to successfully climb the city tower once.

Seeing this situation, Wang Kai finally gave up the strong attack, after all, if he continued to attack, he would not mention taking Guanzhong.

When Xu Rong saw Wang Kai withdraw his troops and make a truce, he immediately looked at the camp outside the city and thought, "Wang Kai, are you capable of this?" ’

Besides, when Wang Kai couldn't gain a foothold in Chencang after attacking for half a month, he suddenly thought: 'The combination of Xu Rong and Chen Cang is too difficult, our army is so elite that we haven't even touched the edge of the city tower within half a month, and if we continue to fight like this, our army may not be able to enter Chencang after the fight, no, I have to think of a way." ’

Immediately, Wang Kai began to think.

'Xu Rong's subordinates are all from Liangzhou, by the way, why don't I arouse the homesickness of the soldiers and make them have no intention of fighting. ’

Thinking of this, Wang Kai's thoughts became active at once.

After quickly drawing up a battle plan, Wang Kai immediately summoned Luo Cheng, Ma Chao and Wei Chigong. The Seven Realms

With the arrival of the three generals, Wang Kai immediately said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, do you know that there are people in the army who are good at cooking Liangzhou dishes?" ”

Suddenly hearing Wang Kai say this, not only Ma Chao was stunned, but even Luo Cheng and Wei Chigong were confused.

Although Ma Chao didn't understand much, he still quickly replied: "Back to the lord, there is one of the guards around the last general who is good at cooking Liangzhou dishes." ”

Hearing this, Wang Kai was overjoyed.

"Great, Meng Qi, you quickly call this person to come to see me."

After hearing this, Ma Chao had no choice but to go to find his personal guard.

As soon as Ma Chao left, Luo Cheng asked Wang Kai: "Lord, you asked Ma Mengqi to find someone who can cook dishes...... Cook, what do you mean? ”

When Wei Chigong saw Luo Cheng asking, he also agreed.

Wang Kai immediately replied with a smile: "I have my own wonderful use." ”

"By the way, Jingde, Shixin, you are now leading 8,000 soldiers to recuperate, and in three days I will attack Chencang City at night."

After Wei Chigong and Luo Cheng received the order, although they didn't know Wang Kai's deep meaning, they still quickly took the order and left.

After Ma Chao brought back his personal guards, Wang Kai immediately asked Ma Chao to step down, because he needed to keep his plan a secret, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

When only Wang Kai and Ma Chao's personal guard Zheng Ken were left in the tent, Wang Kai immediately said to him: "I heard Meng Qi say that you can cook Liangzhou dishes?" ”

"Back to the lord, the villain knows a little bit about it."

"Very well, I'll give you a hundred now, and I want you to teach these hundred people to cook within three days."

Zheng Ken immediately agreed after hearing this, because Liangzhou's hometown cuisine is not difficult to make.

Wang Kaijun stood still for three days, and the 100 soldiers also completely learned to cook.

Subsequently, Wang Kai led his troops to the outside of Chencang City again.

Seeing this, Xu Rong, who was on the city tower, suddenly said: "Wang Kai is really not giving up, knowing that it is not advisable to attack by force, he actually came again, I want to see when you plan to attack." ”

Just when Xu Rong's words fell, Wang Kai did not send soldiers to attack the city, but instead let the hundred soldiers bury the pot and cook under the city.

When he saw Wang Kaijun's abnormal behavior, Xu Rong's brain short-circuited, because Wang Kai's actions were completely beyond his expectations, and he didn't know what Wang Kai wanted to do.

After a while, when the food in the hundred pots was finished, Wang Kai immediately asked his subordinates to fan the taste of the food into the city with fans.

At this time, it was the east wind, and the aroma of the food in the 100 pots drifted into the city along the east wind.

When the guards in the city smelled the familiar scent, these Liangzhou soldiers really remembered the smell of their hometown, because they had been away from Liangzhou for many years.

When Xu Rong saw that the defenders in the city were talking about the fragrance, Xu Rong shouted bad and quickly ordered the soldiers to stop talking.

Although these defenders were suppressed by Xu Rong on the surface, the soldiers buried their homesickness in their hearts.

Besides, after Wang Kai saw that the fragrance wafted into the city, he immediately asked some high-voiced soldiers to persuade him to surrender: "Brothers in the city, listen, my lord knows that you have been away from your hometown for a long time, and today my lord will bury a pot for you to cook, if you obediently go out of the city and surrender, then my lord will let you return to your hometown." ”

As soon as the Xiliang soldiers in the city heard this, most of the soldiers were shaken, after all, their main general, Xu Rong, was not from Liangzhou.

When Xu Rong saw that the military spirit of the defenders in the city was shaken, he immediately praised in his heart: "Wang Kai is a good method! First storm the city and labor our army, and then use our hometown as the reason to move the heart of our army. ’

Although he recognized Wang Kai, it did not mean that Xu Rong would sit still, and he quickly sent troops to suppress those who felt homesick.
