Chapter 31 There will be loyal men in the ten-room city
"Can this person named Zhang Ze be trusted?" Lu Zhan beside the bed asked.
"He was adopted by the Zhang family since he was a child, and he can be trusted." Zhang Yu said weakly.
The two didn't talk a few words, Lu Zhan was called by Wen Qianhu to a meeting in the military tent, and Lu Zhan found that the atmosphere was very strange as soon as he stepped into the military tent. No one wants to fight for the loser, not to mention that their families are still in the hands of the enemy, and most of the families of the officers in the army are in the capital.
"Now that the overall situation has been decided, it is better to follow what Dong Cunren said, let's retire and return to the station." An officer dressed as a thousand households said.
Seeing that some people took the lead in proposing to stop the troops and return to their own defense areas, several more people reconsidered one after another.
"Yes, our siege last night has shown our loyalty, and now it is the best policy to withdraw our troops."
"Well, what Lu Qianhu said is very true."
Isn't this the same as Bajie in "Journey to the West" shouting to go back to Gao Laozhuang, Lu Zhan suddenly thought of Jia Xu, a poisoner in the Three Kingdoms period, so he patted his thigh and said, "Do you really want to go back like this?" Yi Lu's shallowness, and all of you who proposed to withdraw today are all people who are about to die. ”
Hearing Lu Zhan's words, several generals who had previously proposed to withdraw their troops immediately became angry.
"Why did Lu Gongzi speak disrespectfully."
"Shaft, how dare you say that."
Seeing a few angry officers, Lu Zhan said: "Since everyone decided to send troops to Qinwang, now retreat and return to the station. When the dust settles on the overall situation in the capital, as long as an order is passed down from above, you will be fish on the chopping board. Lu Zhan paused for a moment and said: "As long as a eunuch who sends a decree can kill everyone here, if we persist to the end, when the dilemma of the capital is solved, you will be able to pay homage to the prime minister."
After hearing Lu Zhan's words, the generals present all gasped, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that what Lu Zhan said could be described as an enlightenment, and they immediately pulled everyone out of Dong Cunren's conspiracy.
"But the capital city is high and thick, and besides, our plan to cooperate with the outside has failed, and our soldiers who forcibly attack the city will not be able to break the city even if they are finished." A thousand households said worriedly.
"Although the families have failed, it does not mean that there are no other forces in the capital that can be relied upon." Lu Zhan pretended to smile mysteriously at everyone and said.
Wen Qianhu couldn't hold back his temperament and asked Lu Zhan: "What is Lu Gongzi's plan?"
"Have you ever heard the saying that there will be loyal men in the ten rooms. Today's son is not a dumb king, there must be people in Beijing who serve the country, and there must be soldiers and officers in the southern army who are dissatisfied with Dong Cunren, as long as we can contact them, we can have another night attack. Dong Cunren would never have dreamed that we would do the same strategy again. Lu Zhan confidently presented his plan to everyone and Panpan.
"But how do we contact the loyal people in the capital and the people in the southern army who are willing to help us?"
"I've already thought about this, first let Zhang Ze, who came to report the news, return to the capital, and let Zhang Ze confuse Dong Cunren with the conditions for retiring from the army that we pretended to promise. Then find an opportunity to secretly contact the loyal and brave people in the city, and when everything is ready, enter the capital to save the Son of Heaven from danger. Lu Zhan calmly said his follow-up plans and plans.
Hearing Lu Zhan's arrangement, everyone also felt that Lu Zhan's plan was very feasible, so they agreed not to withdraw their troops and fight again.
Among the restaurants in the capital, ordinary people are talking about the bloody night not long ago, and the families jointly wrote a letter asking the Son of Heaven to abdicate.
"Have you heard? I don't know how many people died last night, and it was like a scene like Shura's hell. ”
"Who says it's not, it seems that the current Son of Heaven may abdicate for sure."
"Yes, yes, I heard that there are not many troops supporting the Son of Heaven anymore, and it is estimated that the enthronement ceremony will be held in a while." Several people sat on the bench eating peanuts and chatted about state affairs.
A big man on the side slapped the table heavily, then stood up and shouted to the people, "How can a traitor take the position of the Son of Heaven? You can't get used to hearing your words. ”
The few people who were talking just now saw the big man with a look of righteous indignation and said: "The one who steals the hook will be punished, and the one who steals the country will be punished." Haven't you heard of this sentence? If you really have the ability, don't argue with us here, but take up the sword to get rid of the traitor for the Son of Heaven. ”
The little guy in the restaurant saw that the two groups of people were arguing, and hurriedly came over and said to the big man: "This master, now there are soldiers of the Southern Army patrolling the streets outside, and you will be killed after what you just said is heard."
After hearing Xiao Er say this, the big man took a long breath of relief after drinking the wine in the cup, looked at the somewhat hazy sky outside, and couldn't help but feel in his heart that he had no way to serve the country.
And Zhang Ze, who was watching this scene from the side, waited until the big man came out of the restaurant and followed.
"What this strong man just said in the restaurant is true?"
When the big man heard this, he instinctively became vigilant, and slowly turned his body to look around.
"I don't know what this brother is looking for?"
Seeing that the big man was vigilant, Zhang Ze opened his mouth and said, "This good man doesn't have to be nervous, and he will take a step to speak with me."
After seeing that Zhang Ze did not carry a blade and there were no officers and soldiers around, he decided to go with Zhang Ze to have a look. After turning a few streets, Zhang Ze and the big man arrived at a secluded place.
"There's no one here for this brother, just say whatever you want." The big man touched his stubble and said to Zhang Ze.
"I just heard what Brother Tai said in the restaurant and decided to talk to you, now the Son of Heaven is in danger, and he needs the assistance of a loyal and brave man like Brother Tai." Zhang Ze said in a sincere tone.
After hearing Zhang Ze say this, the big man's eyes lit up and said to Zhang Ze: "Where is my brother from, what do you need to do with the family?"
"Below is the people of the Zhang family, specially looking for the loyal and brave King Qin in the capital." After finishing speaking, Zhang Ze came to a secluded mansion with Dahan.
In the courtyard sat many of these recruits from all over the world, some of them outlaws purely for money, some of them were volunteers like this big man, and finally the last soldiers of the family could use.
Although the total number of these people is only 500, according to what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, with the right combination, with the odd victory. These people are the key to Lu Zhan's breakthrough.
The strongest walls are often not breached from the outside.
