Chapter 23: The Conspiracy of the Wang and Zhao Families

Chapter 23: The Conspiracy of the Wang and Zhao Families

The Confederates won a temporary victory in the defense of the city, but Su Shang was not happy, the number of wounded in the Angel Ambulance Camp was unexpected! After inspecting the Angel Ambulance Camp, he was a little preoccupied and led everyone to continue to inspect the entire Donglai City!

Garrison barracks, in the council hall. The atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn and a little heavy! Su Shang and a group of subordinates sat around the conference table, and Erlang Huang Zhirong was reporting to everyone the report of the Allied army's defense of the city this morning!

Su Shang sat on the Taishi chair, his face was a little gloomy, and his inspection of Donglai City made him once again deeply realize the cruelty of war! While listening to Erlang's report, he looked through the notebook in his hand, which was the detailed casualty of the battle to defend the city in the morning!

The more he looked at the book, the heavier Su Shang's mood became! He didn't expect that the battle in the morning would be so tragic! In just a few hours of battle, the casualties of the Allied army and the people defending the city were even more than the casualties of the previous two days combined, and the number of deaths accounted for more than half!

"Wang Bo's bandit army retreated from Zhangqiu, Shandong, and the soldiers were exhausted, and the reason why they attacked Donglai City fiercely in the past few days was entirely because of its lack of food and grass, and they urgently needed to enter the city to replenish supplies." After Erlang Huang Zhirong's report was over, Su Shang directly opened his mouth to analyze the current situation to everyone!

"After this morning's battle, all the siege tools they prepared a few days ago were burned, and the bandit soldiers also suffered heavy casualties, and it is estimated that they will not attack the city again in a short time!" The focus of the next work will be on the treatment of wounded soldiers and the aftermath of the casualties. There is also the acquisition and accumulation of various materials, and we must increase our efforts! ”

"Still, don't be careless! It is necessary to do a good job of all kinds of patrols and inspections to prevent the bandit army from raiding and stealing the city! ”

"I have received news that General Zhang Xutuo of the court is leading a large army, preparing to continue to pursue Wang Bo's bandit army, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Donglai City in four or five days! If Wang Bo's bandit army wants to survive, entering Donglai City is their last ray of hope! ”

"So they might make a desperate gamble and attack Donglai again. Or some ill-intentioned people in the United City steal the city, so you all have to be more vigilant! I don't want another heavy casualty report at the last minute! ”

Su Shang just finished speaking, and the pro-soldiers spread that Li Yixing had an emergency report!

Li Yixing did not come in, saluted Su Shang, did not speak, and directly handed Su Shang a copy of the information Qin Ben!

Su Shang looked at Qin Ben carefully, but he didn't speak, but his face became more and more gloomy! He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart......

"Report to the marshal, Cui Cheng, the head of the Cui family in the city, has an urgent matter to see!"

Just when he was about to discuss the information in Qin Benzhong with everyone, the personal soldiers came in again to spread the word!

Su Shang was a little surprised in his heart, what was the purpose of Cui Chengyue coming to find himself at this time, did he want to confuse himself temporarily?

It didn't take long for Cui Chengyue to be brought in by his own soldiers! Cui Chengyue's face was a little pale, and his expression was a little nervous!

Cui Chengyue took a few deep breaths and tried to calm his mind!

"President Su, I have a very urgent matter I want to report to you!" Cui Chengyue bowed to Su Shang, and then glanced around slightly!

Su Shang knew what he meant, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can say it!" They're all my henchmen! ”

Cui Chengyue looked at everyone, and then said: "President, I received news that Wang Daming and Luo Xian are preparing to open the West City Gate on the fifth watch day tonight, and they are going to receive Wang Bo's bandit army into the city!"

The generals' hearts were suddenly shocked, and their faces changed a little! Just now, Su Shang also reminded them to be careful that there are people in the city who are secretly colluding with the bandit army. I didn't expect there to be!

Su Shang was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Cui Cheng to report this news more and more! He couldn't figure out for a while, what did Cui Chengyue mean! But he didn't speak, waiting for Cui Chengyue to continue!

"How did the head of the Cui family know? What are the details of this matter? Wei Yunqi saw that Su Shang didn't mean to speak, so he asked Cui Chengyue more!

Cui Chengyue didn't know how to answer, he originally only wanted to report Wang Daming and Luo Xian, after all, the Wang and Zhao families are the biggest families in the city, so it's not good to offend them too much!

But the current situation made him a little incomprehensible, and he didn't know what Su Shang had in mind! He sensed that Su Shang didn't seem to care a little too much about his information. He was a little worried that Su Shang already knew about the conspiracy of the three great families!

Cui Chengyue lowered his head and wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead with his hands, trying to calm the tension in his heart!

Cui Chengyue looked at Su Shang again, and finally made up his mind: Since he has decided to take refuge in Su Shang, let's talk about it thoroughly!

"This matter is masterminded by the Wang and Zhao families! The two of them had a courtyard near the corner of the city wall of the East and West Cities, where they trained three hundred private soldiers. ”

"They are going to make the fifth watch tonight, first let Wang Daming deceive the allied troops stationed at the west gate, and then Luo Xian will lead these three hundred private soldiers to open the city gate and receive Wang Bo's bandit army into the city!"

"Tonight's fifth watch, fortunately, it's still in time!" Su Shang handed him the information book Qin Ben, and said with a pun!

Cui Chengyue was a little weak-hearted, and took Qin Ben with a little doubt! Slowly opened the Qin book, and the content inside the Qin book made his face pale in an instant!

What was written on the Qin book turned out to be the conspiracy of the Wang and Zhao families to open the door and dedicate the city, and all the actions of the Wang and Zhao families were recorded on it! Including how many families in the city the Wang and Zhao families contacted, and which families were ready to participate in the conspiracy, it was all clearly written, much more detailed than what he just said!

What scared him the most was that Qin Ben not only recorded the conspiracy of the Wang and Zhao families, but also recorded all the actions of the Cui family in equal detail! Even the situation of his secret meeting with the heads of the Wang and Zhao families in the small courtyard is clear!

Su Shang actually knew it a long time ago! Cui Chengyue stood a little overwhelmed, and the sweat on his face fell to the ground one by one! He was frightened, he couldn't imagine that Su Shang was so powerful, and he had already known that they were going to open the door and dedicate the city!

Cui Chengyue has always been in favor of opening the door and offering the city, but he has not objected to it before, and the Cui family has always been involved! If it weren't for the fact that Su Shang burned down Wang Bo's bandit army this morning, he would still have made up his mind to join Su Shang!

Cui Chengyue's legs were weak and he knelt on the ground: "Please forgive the president!" Please forgive the Choi family! ”

"Master Cui, get up first! I didn't just say it, but luckily it's still in time! Su Shang stepped forward and helped Cui Chengyue up, "Your Cui family has made the right choice in time!" Don't worry too much, Master Cui! As long as your Cui family works hard for the alliance in the future! Master Cui, I see you're tired too. Let's go to our camp and rest for a while! ”

After speaking, Su Shang didn't wait for him to agree, and waved his hand to summon a personal soldier to take him down!

Cui Chengyue followed the soldiers in a daze, "Tonight's fifth watch, fortunately, it's still too late!" Cui Chengyue finally understood the meaning of Su Shang's words......

"Let's talk about what to do?" Su Shang looked at everyone and asked, "Zhongyi, you talk about it first!" ”

Wang Zhongyi took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke: "The top priority now is to arrest all the people of the Wang and Zhao families, and stay in the traitors in Qing City first!" Then continue to defend the city! ”

"Next, Lihong!"

"I think we should do what we do, set a trap inside the West City Gate, and ambush the bandits!"

……

The young generals present said one after another, seeing that the young generals had slowly grown up, Su Shang was very happy!

"Well, you're doing a good job! Just do as you say! Su Shang looked at them and was very pleased......
