Zhang Shumo, Jiao Qiang, Zhang Jun, and Wu Tai made a decision, and finally Jiao Qiang and Zhang Jun organized men and horses to attack Dieling Pass and the next city, while Zhang Shumo and Wu Tai were responsible for taking the opportunity to attack Xu Liangcheng. Then the four parties converged and drove Ji Wen back to Jingguo together!

After discussing it, the four of them began to act separately.

Jiao Qiang and Zhang Jun were originally united, and the two of them jointly ordered 10,000 troops, led by Jiao Qiang, and were scheduled to attack Dieling Pass and the next city in two days, leaving Zhang Shumo and Wu Tai time to transfer troops.

Wu Tai also notified the deputy general of Mengzhou City as soon as possible, and asked him to come to Xiuwu Zhi with 15,000 men and horses. In this way, Xiu Wuzhi's soldiers and horses reached 25,000. At that time, Wu Tai will lead 20,000 people to attack Xu Liangcheng.

Zhang Shumo returned to the Great Tea Castle, and he transferred 5,000 infantry, got together with Pang Yuan's more than 5,000 cavalry, and organized more than 10,000 troops to cooperate with Wutai to attack Xu Liangcheng.

At the same time, Zhang Shumo also made second-hand preparations. He first asked Su Yi to write a letter to persuade the people in the General's Mansion to cooperate with him. Then he personally wrote a letter and prepared to contact Yang Xue. Lei Zi had already shown up when he was cultivating Wuzhi and couldn't contact Yang Xue anymore, so Zhang Shumo simply handed over the two letters to Lu Li and asked him to go to Xu Liangcheng.

Xu Liangcheng's inventory was much stricter than that of Xiu Wuzhi, and Jingguo soldiers would carefully search everyone who entered the city. Fortunately, Lu Li has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years, and he is very good at delivering secret letters, and he hid the secret letters in the soles of his shoes to easily evade the search of the soldiers.

Lu Li entered the city and went to the General's Mansion first, but Lu Li found that the guard at the gate of the General's Mansion was actually Jingguo's soldiers. In this way, as long as you go to visit, you will be known by the people of Jingguo, and it is likely to arouse the suspicion of the people of Jingguo at that time, how can you quietly contact the people of the General's Mansion?

Just thinking about it, Chen Lin and Qin Sheng and the others from the Cao Yuan came out of the General's Mansion, and they exchanged a few words of greeting at the door before they separated. When Zhang Shumo defeated Xu Liangcheng, Lu Li had seen the people from the Cao Yuan to find Zhang Shumo, so he had some impressions of Qin Sheng, Chen Lin and others. So Lu Li followed Chen Lin and chased after him.

Chen Lin was thinking about the problem as he walked, and suddenly felt a person sticking to him behind him, and immediately turned his head to look. Seeing Lu Li, Chen Lin felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he took the initiative to ask, "Did Your Excellency come to me on a special trip?" ”

Lu Li looked around and then whispered, "I have seen Your Excellency at Zhang Shumo's house!" ”

Chen Lin was startled, and quickly looked around, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he led Lu Li into a remote alley: "Who are you?" What are you looking for me? ”

"I'm here to deliver the word for Zhang Gongzi. When I saw Your Excellency coming out of the General's Mansion, I thought that Your Excellency should be an acquaintance of the General's Mansion, so I would like to ask Your Excellency if there is a way to bring me into the General's Mansion quietly? ”

Chen Lin narrowed his eyes: the person in front of him really felt familiar, but he didn't dare to guarantee his purpose, if he rashly brought him into the general's mansion, it might cause unnecessary trouble, so it was better to set his words.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin asked rhetorically: "It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi's person, how is he lately?" ”

Lu Li bit his lip and thought about it when he heard it: This person doesn't answer his question head-on, obviously he has ulterior motives, has he taken refuge in Jingguo?

Thinking of this, Lu Li put his hand in his sleeve, held a dagger, and said quietly on his face: "Zhang Gongzi has something important to discuss with the General's Mansion, and I also ask Your Excellency to take important matters first." ”

Chen Lin couldn't help but think that the General's Mansion now exists in name only, and only Mrs. Su and her own group of strategists can help Zhang Shumo do any big things? Could it be that Zhang Shumo plans to attack Xu Liangcheng and wants the General's Mansion to do the internal response?

Thinking of this, Chen Lin asked tentatively: "Is Your Excellency's so-called major event related to Xu Liangcheng?" ”

Lu Li's eyes narrowed, and his expression became vigilant: "Your Excellency can help, why do you go around?" ”

Seeing Lu Li's expression, Chen Lin knew that he had guessed correctly, and hurriedly arched his hand at him: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I'm also worried that someone is plotting against you." In that case, I will take Your Excellency to see Mrs. Su! ”

After speaking, Chen Lin brought Lu Li into the General's Mansion. Knowing that Lu Li was Zhang Shumo's subordinate, Mrs. Su hurriedly took Lu Li's hand and asked, "Is my son Su Yike okay?" ”

Lu Li didn't say a word, and took out the letter written by Su Yi: "This is a handwritten letter from Su Gongzi, and I ask Mrs. to take a look." ”

Mrs. Su directly snatched the letter and read it.

After reading it, Mrs. Su couldn't help crying: "Great, my son is fine, my son is fine!" ”

Lu Li didn't care about Mrs. Su, who was excited, and asked directly: "What did Mr. Su mention in the letter?" ”

"I'll do my best!" Speaking of this, Mrs. Su immediately said to Chen Lin: "Quick, call all the people from the Cao Academy, Yi'er asked us to assist Zhang Shumo, and work together to defeat Xu Liangcheng!" ”

Chen Lin arched his hand: "Madam, this matter is a big matter, and it is not good for more people to know." According to his subordinates, it seems that only Qin Sheng, Wu Lao and Lu Lao can be called. ”

"Good! Do whatever you want! ”

Not long after, Qin Sheng, Wu Lao, and Lu Lao returned to the General's Mansion one after another. After hearing the news that Zhang Shumo was going to attack Xu Liangcheng, the three of them reacted differently. Some people looked excited, some people looked melancholy, and some people were expressionless.

Mrs. Su said straight to the point: "Yi'er sent a letter, let us fully cooperate with Zhang Shumo to attack the city, and please express your opinions and actively make suggestions!" ”

Old Lu looked melancholy: "Madam, there is only one shelf left in our general's mansion now, and there is no right at all, what can I help with?" You can't let you, madame, open the gates for him, can you? ”

Qin Sheng said excitedly: "Old Lu's words are wrong, although we don't have soldiers, we still have a plan, otherwise what would the general's mansion do to raise us these discussions?" In my opinion, we have to find a way to create chaos in the city and add pressure to the people of Jingguo to defend the city! ”

Wu Lao sat in his position expressionlessly, as if this discussion had nothing to do with him.

After hearing Qin Sheng's idea, Lu Li immediately said, "It's best to help open the city gate, that will save many soldiers from sacrifice." ”

Chen Lin thought for a long time before slowly asking Lu Li: "Xu Liangcheng is heavily guarded, Ji Wen has nearly 70,000 troops here, and the chance of Zhang Gongzi directly attacking the city is very low. I guess Zhang Gongzi should have a backhand, right? ”

Lu Li nodded: "That's right, Zhang Gongzi has already thought of other methods, and when the time comes, the Jingguo army will be diverted, and there should not be too many soldiers defending the city." ”

"In this case, we can organize a sturdy guardian to pretend to defend the city for the people of Jingguo, once they relax their vigilance, they can take the opportunity to open the city gate and let Zhang Gongzi's men and horses enter the city!"

When Lu Li heard this, he asked, "How many people can you organize?" ”

"The general's family has a big business, how can it organize a team of hundreds of people."

Lu Li nodded: "Okay!" Then I will be in the ranks and lead the people to open the gates! ”
