At night, the Tang army camp, Chai Shaoshuai's tent.

Chai Shao, wearing a golden helmet and a golden armor, sat in the first place. More than a dozen generals of the Tang Army lined up on both sides in turn, their eyes fixed on the strong man in a black night suit kneeling in the center, and listened to him babble about the purpose of the trip.

"The villain is the personal soldier of General Guan Sheng, the deputy general under Long Zhi, and today Long Zhi is a hero who wants to fight. General Guan tried his best to dissuade him, but he severely punished him with forty military sticks, and after the defeat and returned to the city, he was even more annoyed and angry, and General Guan drew his sword and confronted him. Long Zhi was General Guan's immediate boss, and General Guan was afraid of his retribution in the future, so he decided to submit to the Tang Emperor and assist the general in taking Jinchuan. ”

The corners of Chai Shao's mouth hooked, and he said lightly: "Since General Guan Sheng can know the current affairs so well, Ben Shuai is naturally overjoyed, but I want to know how he will help Ben Shuai take Jinchuan." ”

The soldier immediately replied: "General Guan has already told the villain before he came, as long as the general raises troops to storm Jinchuan County tomorrow, he will see the opportunity to open the city gate and welcome the general into the city." ”

After listening to Guan Sheng's personal soldier's narration, Chai Shao waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "The strong man has worked hard, I have ordered the room to prepare some meals for the strong man, and the strong man will go down first to eat some to fill his stomach!" ”

"General Xie!"

The soldier bowed to Chai Shao and slowly withdrew from the tent.

When the soldier walked away, Chai Shao immediately put away his smile and bowed his head and was silent.

Qiu Xinggong, who was on the side, was puzzled when he saw this, and asked out loud: "General Chai, there are people who are willing to surrender the city, this is a good thing, why are you depressed?" ”

Chai Shao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Is it a good thing or not?" This may also be the Sui army's trick to surrender! ”

Sheng Yanshi echoed: "What the general said is extremely true, my Tang Dynasty has advanced eastward, but so far there have been few results, but they have been defeated by the Sui army one after another. Datang can't afford to fail more, and we should be more cautious. ”

Qiu Xinggong immediately retorted: "It is precisely because of the defeat in this Eastern Expedition that we should seize this opportunity to take Jinchuan, coerce Jingxiang, and play the prestige of our Tang Army." ”

The simple-minded sticky force also roared with a big grin: "It doesn't matter if he surrenders by fraud or not, as long as the city gate is opened, with the pair of purple gold hammers in my hand, I will definitely be able to kill the Sui army crying father and mother." ”

Chai Shao still frowned and bowed his head silently, and only after a long time raised his head and said slowly: "We captured a lot of Sui troops in today's battle, General Sheng, you go and pick a few prisoners of war for me, and I will personally interrogate and interrogate them to see if they know about the discord between Guan Sheng and Long Zhi." ”

Sheng Yanshi nodded and said, "The general is wise, and the last general will do it." ”

Not long after, the five Sui prisoners of war were escorted to Chai Shao's tent, and the most anxious sticky force immediately shouted: "Listen, you guys have something to ask you here, and you will give me an honest explanation." If you dare to play tricks and deceive, you will be taught to die and have no place to be buried! ”

The sticky force was already ugly, and then he grinned so much, it scared several Sui soldiers to practice kowtowing and said: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life." The villain must be honest. ”

"General Sticky, you step back first!"

Chai Shao frowned slightly, drank back from the stickiness, and said to the five Sui soldiers with a pleasant face: "I know that you are all ordinary soldiers, and you are soldiers to fight to support your family. As long as you answer my question honestly, I will not only release you, but also reward each of you with ten taels of gold to settle down. ”

The five soldiers glanced at each other, and all of them were overjoyed, and asked tremblingly: "I don't know what the general wants to ask, as long as the villain knows, the villain will definitely tell the general." ”

Chai Shao smiled slightly, and asked lightly: "I want to know, before you go out of the city to fight today, did your chief general Long Zhi and deputy general Guan Sheng have a difference of opinion, and Long Zhi beat Guan Sheng with twenty military sticks in anger?" ”

Several soldiers lowered their heads when they heard this, and nodded their heads and said, "Yes, yes!" It is true. Then... ”

The five soldiers babbled everything they had heard and seen to Chai Shao. After Chai Shao listened, his originally tightly knit brows suddenly stretched, and he turned his head to Chai Zhong, the commander of the pro-soldiers behind him, and said, "Chai Zhong, go and fetch fifty taels of gold and give it to them, and then send them out of the camp!" ”

"Yes!"

Chai Zhong answered, and walked out with five Sui prisoners of war.

As soon as a few people walked out of the tent, Qiu Xinggong said excitedly: "General, it seems that Guan Sheng's surrender should be true. At the end of tomorrow, he will be willing to be the vanguard, lead the army into Jinchuan County, and capture Longzhi alive. ”

Sheng Yanshi, who originally persuaded Chai Shao to use troops cautiously, also said: "General, these prisoners of war were randomly selected by the last general from the prisoner of war camp, it cannot be a spy specially arranged by Long Zhi, their words should be believed." It seems that Guan Sheng's unbearable bullying and surrender to our army should be out of his own heart, and it is definitely not a trick to surrender. ”

Chai Shao nodded and said, "This general also thinks so. God bless my Tang Dynasty, once Jinchuan is taken by our army, our army can drive straight into Jingxiang, or compete for Nanyang to coerce Yang Yanzhao. In order to keep the foundation of Jingxiang, Yang Gao Xiao'er will definitely transfer troops from the Central Plains to reinforce it, and the unfavorable situation of our army in the Central Plains will certainly improve. ”

。。。。。。。。。。

At dawn the next day, in order to respond to Guan Sheng, Chai Shao's 40,000 elites came out, and under the leadership of the fierce generals and Qiu Xinggong, they braved the rain of arrows and arrows like a tide to launch a fierce attack on Jinchuan County.

The three insiders of Long Zhi, Guan Sheng, and Li Mi at the head of the city saw the elite of the Tang Army coming out, and knew that Chai Shao had already won the plan, so they all glanced at each other, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes.

Li Mi arched his hand at Long Zhi and Guan Sheng, and said in a low voice: "I'll go to the city to arrange it first, and leave a few tricks for our army to recapture the city in the future." General Guan will be able to go to Xiancheng in an hour. The two generals, the Tang Army is no better than other bandits, and his subordinates are also fierce generals like clouds, and ministers are like rain, take care! ”

Long Zhi and Guan Shengju each nodded and said in a low voice, "Take care, military advisor." ”

Li Mi smiled slightly and indifferently went down the city wall.

Long Zhi and Guan Sheng quickly turned their attention to the Tang army outside the city, and calmly commanded the defenders of the city to counterattack with their swords and resist the Tang army's ferocious offensive.

About an hour later, Guan Sheng secretly glanced at Long Zhi, and Long Zhi understood and nodded slightly.

Guan Sheng immediately raised his knife and slowly walked down the city wall, and when people were unprepared, he opened the city gate, cut the suspension bridge, and loudly beckoned the Tang army outside the city to enter the city: "Brothers of the Tang army, the city gate has been opened, quickly follow me into the city to kill Longzhi, this reckless man!" ”
