Chapter 455: Capturing the City (1)
Li Dian listened to Xiahoudun's words,
The eyes kept rolling,
He suddenly raised his head and said:
"What does the eldest prince command, General Xiahou said that it doesn't matter, I, Li Dian, will go all out to complete it."
Xiahoudun opened his mouth,
After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke:
"My 10,000 cavalry troops, in order to hurry, did not carry extra dry rations, and now they want to help defend the city in the city, and originally wanted to borrow some military rations from the general, but at this moment, they ......"
Xiahoudun did not continue,
Instead, he turned his head to look around.
Li Dian was stunned at first when he heard this,
Then he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahaha, General Xiahou, what is the big thing about my Dao, it turns out that it is just this matter......"
This made Xiahoudun a little confused,
Dingding looked at Li Dian, waiting for him to answer his questions.
Li Dian didn't sell Guan Zi, and explained:
"Although the city was torn down to tatters, the grain and grass were sufficient. Not to mention the two warehouses of grain and grass hoarded in the city in order to deal with the enemy's siege before, as well as some grain and grass given by Wen Hou before, Mo said that the general only brought 10,000 cavalry, even if it was another 20,000 or 30,000 people, there would be no problem in eating for two or three months. ”
Xiahoudun raised his eyebrows,
As if I never knew Li Dian,
Leaning back slightly,
looked Li Dian up and down,
couldn't help but joke and said:
"Lao Li, I can't see that you are still a mouse, so you can hoard food."
Li Dian scratched his head and couldn't help laughing,
Although there is a lot of intersection between them,
But there are really not many times such a light-hearted joke,
He couldn't help but joke:
"Hahaha, you're sorry to find out."
Over the next two days,
Except for Liu Beijun's troops defending the periphery once,
There is still no news from Yan Xing's army,
It's so mysterious that it's gone.
In the north of Changyuan Castle,
The stalemate between Yuan Shaojun and Cao Jun continues.
didn't wait for the appearance of Yan Xing's army,
After Xiahoudun repaired the city of Jiwu for two days,
and more than three thousand defenders of the city,
led thousands of people in the city to slowly march towards the hinterland of Chen Liujun.
Wang Feng is an elite soldier in Xuzhou,
He is an authentic Danyang soldier,
Hard-working and brave,
After joining the ranks,
And he was stationed in the city of Xiapi,
Although I have experienced several wars,
But fortunately, I didn't suffer any injuries.
And also because of good luck,
Killed several enemy soldiers,
thus relying on military merit to become a Dubo,
The main responsibility is to inspect the city.
On this day, he led his brothers,
Patrol the vicinity of the city as usual.
It's an ordinary day,
Ordinary to the point of not having any surprises,
The day is still the same day,
The head of the city is still the same busy and noisy city.
More than three years ago, Xiapi City also experienced a turmoil.
The giant family in the original city,
Chen, because he secretly served Cao Cao,
As a result, it was razed by Liu Bei at once.
Wang Feng doesn't have a good impression of this kind of guy who eats inside and out.
I think they deserve to get such a fate,
Almost all the people in Xiapi City have this understanding.
After these three years,
A new leader of the warrior clan has appeared in Xiapi City,
Although the prestige does not reach the height of the original Chen family,
But in this Picheng,
But it is also the existence of one and the same.
Wang Feng They are in charge of the affairs of the city.
One is to ensure the safety of the city,
Check the entry and exit of the personnel for suspicious persons,
Second, in fact, it is for these major families or troops,
Give them some convenience in and out of the line.
No, today caused the Yang family's convoy to enter the city,
It is said that the merchant returned and made a small fortune.
More than a dozen carriages were heavy,
The car prints are almost two fingers deep,
The group of people who watched were red-eyed.
A cursory inspection of the first car,
Then I received a heavy cloth bag secretly stuffed by the person who led the team.
"Uncle Wang, the brothers have worked hard, our family has nothing to do, please have a drink for the brothers, there are a lot of carriages, and they need to be transported home in the morning, so you can make it convenient?"
These are the original words of the steward of the Yang family.
Wang Feng secretly weighed the cloth bag in his hand,
Such a small bag is not light,
The experienced Wang Feng immediately estimated that
This bag of money,
Don't say it's a meal of water and wine,
It's more than enough to find two more big girls who are like flowers,
I can't help but smile on my face,
Gently patted the butler on the shoulder,
He raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to let him go.
The convoy entered the city gates.
Wang Feng and the steward stood aside and watched,
The cats in these big family caravans,
Wang Feng didn't know,
No family's caravan is clean,
Most of them will transport a lot of contraband,
But now in this troubled world,
Who cares so much,
What's more, now Liu Bei, the assassin of Xuzhou,
It was originally relying on the Mi family to smuggle contraband,
That's what sustained him to make a fortune.
Wang Feng quietly hid the cloth bag,
Casually with his eyes on those who enter and leave the gates,
It's close to dusk at this time,
The number of people entering and leaving the gates of the city is increasing,
It's no wonder that the gates are closed before dark.
If you don't go back to the city or go out of the city in time,
I can only wait until tomorrow morning,
For the poor people,
It's a lot of money.
Wang Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong,
With his years of experience,
and found that there seemed to be far more people entering the city today than going out of the city,
And the number of these young men seems to be much more numerous,
Frowning, he was still carefully observing the situation,
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the city gate.
Two soldiers blocked the way of the three young men into the city,
The three young men immediately reluctantly got up,
It turned out that one of them lost his way and couldn't find it.
Naturally, the soldiers could not let him enter the city gates.
No matter how much the three young men prayed, they were not allowed.
This is a very ordinary thing,
On weekdays, if these guys have a little longer eyesight,
Stuff some silver coins a little,
And they turned a blind eye and passed away.
However, Wang Feng intuitively felt that something was wrong,
He walked over slowly,
The steward of the Yang family next to him suddenly grabbed him,
Wang Feng turned his head strangely,
The steward spoke abruptly:
"Uncle Wang, are you free tonight? If it's not worth it, how about a glass of water and wine in the evening? ”
The steward smiled,
The tone is also very polite and humble,
But Wang Feng felt very strange,
He has nothing to do with the steward of the Yang family,
Although he was in charge of guarding the city,
But there are several others who are at the same level as him,
I haven't heard anyone say anything about any family,
In private, he will deliberately befriend these low-level officials,
Great is just a little more money,
Even if you really want to deliberately please the dots,
That's also a matter between the people above,
What kind of trouble is this today,
While thinking about the other person's purpose,
Wang Feng's gaze inadvertently noticed,
When the other party looks at the side of the commotion,
There was a slight tremor and fear in his eyes,
Wang Feng's heart tightened for no reason,
retracted his arm from the other's hand,
Turning his head to look at the city gate,
He whispered casually in his mouth:
"You're welcome, we'll talk about tonight's matter later, I have something over there that needs to be dealt with immediately."
When the Yang family steward heard this,
Obviously a little anxious,
stretched out his hand and was ready to hold Wang Feng,
"Hey, Uncle Wang......"
Wang Feng didn't look back,
glanced at the two soldiers beside him,
The two of them immediately willingly blocked the Yang family steward aside.
Wang Feng walked quickly to the few people who were still talking,
The three youths had apparently reached an agreement with the two soldiers,
Both sides are polite,
And the three of them prepared to walk into the city.
Wang Feng suddenly asked:
"Brother, where did you come from?"
The three young men turned their heads and saw Wang Feng,
Though they do not know this man,
But he knew the accessories that represented Duber,
One of them looked a little unnatural,
The other man stepped forward,
Slightly bent his waist and said flatteringly:
"My lord, we are all from Danyang, and we want to come to Xiapicheng to beg for food."
"Yo he, Danyang is here, then we are fellow countrymen."
Wang Feng became more enthusiastic when he heard this,
But the person on the other side was a little stiff,
"But I heard the accents of the brothers a little rusty, where are you from Danyang?"
Although Wang Feng still had a faint smile on his face,
But the tone doesn't have much familiarity with old acquaintances in other places,
At this time, the other soldiers at the city gate also noticed that something was wrong.
Slowly gathered around.
The atmosphere at the city gate immediately became tense.
Wang Feng looked at the three young men in front of him,
I feel more and more suspicious,
Except for the somewhat crappy accents of these three people,
Regardless of appearance, temperament, words and deeds,
all feel weird,
Wang Feng suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the shoulder of the young man who stepped forward to answer,
"Who the hell are you? What the hell are you going to do in Picheng!? ”
The young man hurriedly said flatteringly:
"Great, my lord, we didn't mean ......"
"Fuck your shit, you're not Danyang at all! Come! Bring it back to me! Yes! ”
Wang Feng was opening his mouth to order,
The soldiers on the left and right are also ready,
Just as he was about to come forward and bind the three young men,
At this moment, suddenly the anomaly rose sharply,
I saw the steward of the Yang family,
I don't know when I quietly came behind Wang Feng,
He covered Wang Feng's mouth from behind with one hand,
The other hand was tightly pressed against Wang Feng's lower back,
In that hand he still clutched a sharp dagger,
After the steward of the Yang family drew his dagger,
Poke a few more times,
Until Wang Feng stopped convulsing,
This change is up and down,
Wang Feng's subordinates didn't react,
One of the three young men suddenly shouted:
"Do it!"
Immediately these three people suddenly became three murderers,
With his bare hands, he actually took the weapon of the soldier next to him,
and also killed those Liu Bei soldiers with his backhand.
The guards in charge of the guards only reacted at this moment,
Everyone grabbed their weapons and rushed towards this side,
But there were suddenly countless unknown people around,
They were all clothed in the garments of the people,
But the anger all over the body is not like ordinary people at all,
The weapons in his hands were all taken out from the carriages of the Yang family next to him.
This man who came out of nowhere,
Most of them are Cao soldiers who sneaked into Xiapi City in the past two days,
The leader is Cao Ang and others,
That is, the three young men who had just started a riot at the city gates,
They are Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, Xiahou Chong,
This Xiahou Chong is the eldest son of Xiahoudun,
That is, the young man who just showed his feet,
This was his first expedition with the army,
is still such an urgent task,
As a result, there was a big mistake under the nervousness.
The strategy proposed by Chen Gong to Cao Ang before was a surprise attack on Xiapi,
Since Liu Bei sent Yan Xing to lead a large army to Chenliu County to make trouble everywhere,
If you follow them,
will only be led by the nose by them,
In this case, passive defense is not as good as active attack,
Give somebody a taste of his own medicine
simply broke into the hinterland of Xuzhou,
The capture of Xiapi City is one of the important links in this strategy.
Liu Bei moved the state capital to Guangling County,
If Cao's army once occupies Xiapi City,
will immediately be able to directly threaten Liu Bei,
This siege of Wei to save Zhao was Chen Gong's clever plan to relieve the danger of Yanzhou.
Since yesterday afternoon,
Cao Ang led his troops to the outside of Xiapi City,
Scattered some of the elite soldiers into the city,
The Yang family in the city is a dark chess piece that the Cao family planted in Xiapi City.
They had sent five hundred guards into the city.
Prepare to take the gates after nightfall,
Let the twenty thousand horsemen from outside the city enter the city,
As a result, there was a mistake at the city gate.
The Dubo who was guarding the door actually noticed that something was wrong,
Thankfully, many people have entered the gates.
This is able to be able to do so in the shortest possible time,
Control all the nearly 100 Liu Beijun at the door.
Cao Anmin looked around,
Hurriedly opened his mouth and said anxiously:
"Big brother, Liu Beijun has already begun to react, let's deal with it quickly!"
Cao Ang nodded emphatically,
Spoken:
"Yang Fu, quickly drive the carriage aside, and then clear both sides of the street, and distribute all the weapons to the brothers."
Yang Fu is the steward of the Yang family,
After hearing Cao Ang's order,
Hurriedly ordered the people of the convoy to unload the goods on the spot,
Most of the goods on the cart were spears and knives and other weapons.
The empty wagons were pushed to the sides of the street.
Soon, all the Cao troops who sneaked in at the city gate,
And they all received their weapons, and assembled themselves at the gates.
There is no longer a soldier of Liu Bei in this city gate.
Cao Ang commanded in a loud voice:
"Xiahou Chong, hurry up and release a signal outside the city, the plan has changed, order them to speed up into the city!"
Without waiting for Xiahou Chong to open his mouth to respond,
Cao Ang then turned his head and yelled at Cao Anmin beside him:
"An Min, the defense here will be handed over to you, before the army enters the city gate, there must be no mistakes here!"
"Order!"
After Cao Anmin received the order,
Immediately begin to work on arranging the guards.
Cao Ang himself climbed to the top of the city,
Observe the situation inside and outside the city.
