Chapter Thirty-Four: A Surprise Plot to Attack Jiangyou Again
"After Ma Miao surrendered to the Wei army, my sister Li was ashamed and scolded him for being a seven-foot man who was disloyal and unrighteous as a Hanchen, and my sister was unwilling to surrender to Wei, so she hanged herself in the room." Li You said that he couldn't help but feel a little sad here.
"Ma Miao is a Han general, not as good as a woman!" Liu Yao also said with some emotion.
"I was originally a military marquis under Ma Miao, and after Ma Miao surrendered, I lost my military position, but the Han brothers in the camp heard that Wang Shi came to capture Jiangyou City and was defeated by Ma Miao's cavalry. pushed me to climb out of the city to offer advice to Wang Shi, and the brothers were willing to work together to help Wang Shi and take this Jiangyou City! Li You said with a resolute face.
"How many Han brothers are there in the city?" As soon as Liu Yao heard that Li Youneng could help him win Jiangyou City, he was immediately excited.
"Originally, there were more than 1,000 Han troops when Ma Miao surrendered, but they were later disbanded by Deng Ai on the spot, this matter is confidential, and only more than 300 people from my military camp participated! All the weapons were hidden in the city. Li You replied.
"More than three hundred? With only more than 300 people, can you take the city gate and let our Han army enter the city? Liu Yao asked with some concern.
"Your Royal Highness, you don't know, this Jiangyou City Wei army guard Tian Zhang can fight habitually, in order to prevent us Han army soldiers, the city gate is extremely strict, it is very difficult for us to take the city gate, but if the king needs it, we are willing to die!" Li You said impassionedly.
Liu Yao pondered for a while, with only more than 300 people in the city, it is really difficult to capture the Jiangyou City Gate, and it is not difficult for the Han army outside the city to attack Jiangyou City, but it is just afraid of Tian Zhang's cavalry, if Tian Zhang's cavalry can be solved, then this Jiangyou City can be taken without much effort.
After thinking of a way to deal with it, Liu Yao immediately asked, "Li You, do you know where the Wei army's horses are?" ”
"I know, the Wei army has built stables on both sides of the city wall, and the horses are fed in the city, and I was dispatched by the Wei army to deliver forage today." Li You replied.
"I see! I said how could the cavalry of the Wei army appear on the city tower. Liu Yao suddenly realized.
"Please also ask Your Highness to send troops quickly, the brothers in the city are waiting for the king! Li You said expectantly.
It's just that at this moment, Liu Yao still maintains a trace of vigilance against Li You, and he has already caused the defeat of the Han army once because of his negligence during the day, in case Li You is really a spy of the Wei army, this time he will definitely fall for the Wei army's scheme, and he will fight a battle after two defeats.
But if you don't believe Li You, if what Li You said is true, you will lose a chance to take Jiangyou City in vain, and it will also make these loyal people who have the Han family feel cold.
When it was difficult to make a decision, he remembered the words that the old gentleman in Nanzhong stuffed into his bag, Liu Yao decided to bet on this, he gambled that the people of Shu still have the Han family in their hearts, if he loses this one, he will accept his fate, and it will be meaningless to lose the hearts of the people and restore the Han family.
"Li You listens to the order!" Liu Yao said.
"The last general!"
"This king ordered you to lead the brothers in the city to seize the horses in the Wei army's stables at night. Liu Yao's eyes were fixed on Li You's eyes.
"The last general will take the order, and if he can't take the stable, the last general will decide himself in this Jiangyou City!" Li You's eyes were blazing, full of perseverance.
Liu Yao nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Li You and his brothers must be careful, if you can't take one Jiangyou City once, you can attack it again, but you loyal people can't get it back even if you ten Jiangyou Cities can't get it back!" ”
When Li You heard Liu Yao's words, his heart immediately warmed, he didn't expect this young highness to be so approachable, and immediately said:
"Your Highness, rest assured! Brothers are not greedy for life and afraid of death, Your Highness can trust us, we will complete the task even if we die! ”
Liu Yao patted Li You on the shoulder and said, "Go back early and prepare, use fire as a signal at night, wait until the city catches fire, and this king will attack the city with all his might!" ”
"The last general commands!" Li You hugged his fists and bowed, and then withdrew.
Liu Yao turned around and returned to the main seat of the Chinese army's big tent and shouted outside the tent:
"Someone!"
"What does Your Highness command?" A caretaker sergeant entered.
"Summons all the generals to come to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss matters!" Liu Yao commanded.
"No!" The sergeant withdrew.
Guan Xiu yawned, walked into the Chinese army's tent in a daze, squinted his eyes and asked:
"What's the matter with Your Highness? Such an urgent call for our proceedings! ”
Liu Yao didn't speak, quietly waiting for the arrival of the generals.
After a while, all the generals of the Han army came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen She obviously had not slept yet, his armor was neat, he had just returned to his tent after inspecting the camp, and he heard the soldiers say that His Royal Highness called the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters, although he didn't know what it was, but Chen She still came in a hurry.
Liu Yao looked around at the generals in the account and said:
"All sober and sober heads, I won't say more, you guys go down and order the troops and horses, and in a quarter of an hour, Jiangyou City will go into battle!"
Suddenly, all the generals were confused and asked:
"Isn't this just coming back from the siege of the city, how can you fight again? The soldiers need to rest too! ”
Liu Yao's face was serious, it seemed that he was still a little indulgent to this group of people on weekdays, but at this time, there were still people who would complain, and as the main general, he should also have a stern side, so he immediately scolded:
"The military order is like a mountain, you are ordered, why do you have to ask so much? Naturally, there are nobles to help you tonight, so when will you stay if you don't take Jiangyou City at this time? ”
"No!" The generals saw that Liu Yao was a little angry at this time, so they didn't talk much, and went to gather soldiers and horses after receiving the military order.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yao was dressed in bright silver armor and appeared under Jiangyou City again, with a thousand barbarian soldiers, a thousand Jianning troops, and eight hundred personal guards all lined up.
"Report! The general is not good! A Wei soldier hurriedly ran into Tian Zhang's bedroom.
Tian Zhang had just fallen asleep not long after he was woken up by this Wei Jun, and pressed back the unhappiness in his heart and asked:
"What the hell is going on? It's so flustered every time! ”
"Oh no! General, the Han army is attacking again! The Wei soldier replied with some trembling, obviously not because he was afraid but tired.
"Damn the Han army, I want to exhaust the general!" Tian Zhang complained for a moment, and hurriedly put on his armor and walked towards the city.
Before Tian Zhang walked to the head of the city, the stables on both sides of the head of Jiangyou City caught fire, and the war horses trampled everywhere in shock.
Liu Yao saw the fires on both sides of the city under the city, and without a moment's hesitation, he immediately ordered:
"Chen She! Seki! ”
"The last general!" Chen She Guanxiu stood up and replied at the same time.
"The Jianning army set up a ladder to cover, Chen She, you personally led eight hundred guards to kill the city!" Liu Yao pulled out his saber and pointed at Jiangyou City.
