"What's the fear of a mere projectile!? What's more, in Jianye City, there are only thousands of Wu soldiers, and their military morale is in chaos, all of them are cowardly, such a rabble, although there is a high city to rely on, it is not enough to cause trouble!! The so-called soldiers are fast, such a good opportunity, we should take advantage of the situation to pursue, otherwise when the other army stabilizes its position, will it not delay the fighters!? ”

Cao Pi listened, his eyes lit up, and he said in a condensed voice.

"Although Taifu had military orders earlier, he also had orders, and the art of war was more important than improvisation. Now Jianye, the army is empty, and the army's spirit is broken, all of which are intimidated by the might of our army. The so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again. We waited and marched quickly, rushed to the city of Jianye, built a strong walled shed, stabilized our position, and waited for the opportunity to move. As soon as the Taifu Houjun arrives, everything is ready, and then the war will be raised, is it so appropriate? ”

After Jianping's frustration and later listening to Jia Xu's teachings, Cao Pi has matured a lot, and he will no longer rush for quick success. When Hao Zhao and Cao Zhang heard this, the two of them looked at each other, and they both felt that it was good, and they responded one after another. So, Cao Pi immediately ordered the three armies to march towards Jianye City. Wu Jun made a careful investigation and hurriedly reported to Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin asked Zhu Huan for advice. Zhu Huan listened carefully, Wei Kou marched cautiously, there were scouts along the road to explore the road, knowing that he was prepared, he persuaded Zhuge Jin to stay still first, waiting for the opportunity. Zhuge Jin saw that Zhu Huan was not surprised, and secretly admired, so he acted according to the plan.

Three days later, Cao Pi was more than ten miles away from Jianye City, near the mountain and under the village, the walled shed had been erected, and 10,000 thousands of Wei soldiers were ready to prepare for war. On the same day, Cao Pi personally led Hao Zhao, Xu Sheng and others out of the village to observe the terrain of Jianye City, and arrived on a high slope. Cao Pi looked over and saw that Jianye was in a steep terrain, with mountains in the south and the Yangtze River in the north, and the city wall was towering, and it was urgent to go down. Cao Pi couldn't help but take a breath of cool air when he saw it, and said to the generals.

"If I knew that Jianye City was so precipitous, I wouldn't have rushed into it!!"

Cao Pi said, then he had no enterprising heart, and led the generals to return to the village, but he didn't know that there were Wu soldiers under the mountain, and he happened to see Cao Pi and the others, and hurriedly returned. That night, Zhuge Jin was discussing with Zhu Huan in the city. Zhuge Jin's face was full of worry, and he frowned.

"This Cao Ziheng has been here for a few days, but there is no movement. And the officers and men of our army, seeing that Wei Kou was about to come to the city, became more and more timid. Hume, how is this good now? ”

When Zhu Huan heard this, his expression froze, and his heart was quite messy, as if Cao Pi's caution was unexpected, and he was about to open his mouth to answer. Suddenly, there was a detailed report. When Zhuge Jin heard that Xu Sheng had surrendered to the enemy, his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted.

"Xu Wen actually voted for the Cao family to this shameless man!! I'm mad too!! Come on, quickly take Xu Wen down for me and put him in prison!! ”

When Zhu Huan heard this, his eyes lit up, his heart was scheming, his face was happy, and he rushed to Zhuge Jin's side and whispered so and so. Zhuge Jin listened to the plan, his face was overjoyed, and he laughed loudly. So Zhu Huan immediately personally led a group of soldiers and horses, first to Xu Sheng's house, captured all the old and young of Xu Sheng's family, and then quickly led the soldiers and horses to the south gate of Jianye, and captured Xu Hu, the guard who was about to guard. It turned out that this Xu Hu was Xu Sheng's younger brother, and now he is the guard of Jianye's South Gate. Xu Hu was caught by Zhu Huan and shouted not guilty. Zhu Huan's face was cold, he didn't pay attention to it, and escorted Xu Hu to the county hall. Zhuge Jin had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Xu Hu, he snorted coldly and shouted.

"Xu Hu, do you know that the old and young in the family were also captured by me at this time!?"

When Xu Hu heard this, his huge eyes widened, he gritted his teeth in anger, and shouted angrily.

"The thief killed the talent, I didn't commit any crime, why did you harm me for no reason, and even captured my family! My brother Xu Wenxiang is loyal to Eastern Wu, and now his life and death are uncertain, why do you treat me and the Xu family like this!? ”

Zhuge Jin listened, his eyes were cold, and he sneered coldly.

"Good! I'll teach you to be convinced! Today, I found out that your brother has voted for Cao Ziheng. Your brother turned his back on the Lord and defected to the enemy, and he should be beheaded according to the law!! ”

When Xu Hu heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the whole person was suddenly stunned, with an unbelievable face, he never expected that his brother, who was loyal on weekdays, would actually take refuge in Wei Kou. When Zhuge Jin saw it, his eyes showed a bit of pathos, and he said.

"I don't want to do such a cruel thing. Although Xu Wenxiang defected to the enemy, he made countless contributions to the establishment of the country in the past. The reason why our army was defeated last time was because we underestimated the enemy, and Xu Wenxiangfang was captured by Wei Kou. But the state has its own laws, if I don't zhe

g Fadu, how to govern the army in the future? ”

Xu Hu gritted his teeth, tears poured out, his face was full of sadness and unwillingness, and he knelt on the ground, but he didn't say a word, as if he was willing to be ambushed. At this moment, Zhu Huan suddenly persuaded Zhuge Jin.

"Big Sima and slow!! Now that Wei Kou is about to come to the city, Jianye City is in danger, and now is the time to employ people. In the end, there will be a plan, which can teach Wei Kou to die without a place to be buried, and can also protect the old and young of the Xu family. I wonder if Da Sima would like to hear it? ”

When Xu Hu heard this, his cold heart suddenly became hot, and he hurriedly looked up. Zhuge Jin knew the plan for a long time, but he pretended to be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Zhu Huan.

"Hume has such the best of both worlds? Come on!! ”

Zhu Huan's face was shocked, and he bowed his hand, and then said solemnly.

"Cao Ziheng has not moved for a few days, he must have seen that the terrain of my Jianye City is steep and the city wall is high, so he does not dare to attack rashly. In this way, with the passage of time, the morale of our army will become more and more low, and there will be accidents. Now it happens that Xu Wenxiang has invested in Wei Kou, and he has newly invested in the Lord, and he must hope to make achievements as soon as possible. In this way, why didn't Da Sima make a plan and teach Xu Hu to secretly send Xizuo to Wei Kou's camp to meet his brother, and said that he wanted to dedicate Jianye City. When Xu Wenxiang heard about it, he must be overjoyed and report it to Cao Ziheng. If Cao Ziheng is in the plan, we will ambush in the city, and as soon as Wei Kou enters Jianye, the ambush troops will be exhausted, and Cao Ziheng will have the wisdom to go through the heavens and latitudes, and he will not be able to return to the sky!! ”

When Zhuge Jin heard the plan, he secretly looked frightened, and hurriedly shook his head and retorted.

"No!! After all, Xu Hu is Xu Wenxiang's brother, and the two are close relatives, if there is any case, we will be destroyed, although this plan is wonderful, but it is too risky and cannot be used!! ”

As soon as Zhuge Jin's words fell, Xu Hu hurriedly bowed his head and said in tears.

"Da Sima's words are wrong!! I, Xu Hu, stand up to the sky and the earth, eat the Lu of Dongwu, and I want to sacrifice my life and forget death for Dongwu, and serve with my death force. My brother betrayed the Lord and betrayed the enemy, affecting the family, ruthless and unjust, I am not ashamed to be with him, I can't wait to hold a sharp knife in my hand, and kill my relatives with righteousness, how can I be embarrassed with him!! What's more, my family is in the hands of Da Sima, how dare I be presumptuous!! ”

It turned out that this Xu Hu was a famous filial son in Eastern Wu, who had been obedient to his old mother since he was a child, and he was left and right. Zhu Huan took a fancy to Xu Hu's point, so he dared to take risks and come up with such a strange plan. Zhu Huan silently cast a look at Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin understood in his heart, so he comforted Xu Hu, taught him to act according to the plan, and told his family that he didn't have to worry about being placed somewhere in the city at this time. Xu Hu received the order, worried that his mother would not be able to withstand the stimulation, and implored Zhuge Jin to conceal his brother's rebellion. Zhuge Jin promised himself.

That night, Xu Hu hurriedly went back, summoned a confidant Wang Geng, explained the past in detail, and then repaired a book, ordering him to sneak out of the city, go to Wei Kou's camp, and hand it over to his brother. Wang Geng was ordered to stay until the second watch at night, then sneaked out of the city and rushed to the Wei Kou camp, but was intercepted by the patrolling Wei soldiers halfway. Wang Geng is a fine person, and hurriedly said that he was Xu Sheng's old man, and he came to meet him. The Wei general in the patrol team did not dare to slack off when he heard this, so he led him to see Xu Sheng, and at the same time ordered someone to report to Cao Pi. Let's say that Xu Sheng heard that someone claimed to be his old man, broke into the camp at night, and hurriedly went out of the tent to meet him, and soon saw a team of people escorting Wang Geng, who was dressed as a woodcutter, over. Xu Sheng's face was shocked, Wang Geng was his brother Xu Hu's general, and he recognized it at a glance, and hurriedly introduced it into the account. As soon as Wang Geng entered the tent, he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and said.

"Today, Duke Xu and the prince of Dawei traveled to investigate, and was found by the villain's meticulous work, my general heard that Duke Xu voted for Dawei, and wanted the army in the city to be scattered, and it was difficult to defend, so he was afraid that the family would be implicated in the war, so he sent the villain to meet him, and wanted to dedicate himself to Jianye, in order to ensure that the Xu family was rich and secure, this is my general's document, and please Xu Gong to see it!!"

Xu Sheng's face changed when he heard this, thinking of his wife and little mother at home, and hurriedly asked Wang Geng.

"My affairs in the Wei army, except for my brother and you and other subordinates, but there are still people who know!?"

"Don't worry about Gong Xu. The villain's governor has a lot at stake, and he has long ordered his subordinates who know about it to keep their mouths shut and hide it. Dongwu is exhausted, and Great Wei is the general trend of the world, and I hope that Xu Gong will bring more villains and brothers in the future. ”

Wang Geng bowed and said respectfully. When Xu Sheng heard this, a little sadness flashed on his face, and he sighed.

"If this is the case, my Xu clan will become the ears of disloyal and unrighteous rats! In the future, if my mother learns about this, I am afraid that she will not give up!! ”

When Wang Geng heard this, his heart turned and he comforted.

"Xu Gong doesn't have to worry too much. The eldest lady understands the reason, doesn't she know that Duke Xu endures humiliation and burden, all for the prosperity of the Xu family, and it is too late to be happy, how can she blame? ”

Xu Sheng saw that Wang Geng thought that he had betrayed the enemy for utilitarian wealth, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart and shook his head silently. At this moment, a soldier suddenly came outside the tent to report, saying that Cao Pi invited him to discuss the war. Xu Sheng's heart fluttered, the instructor went to answer first, and he came later. The soldier answered, and withdrew. Xu Sheng's face tightened, thinking that if the news of his body in Weizhai spread, his family would undoubtedly die, and his heart was hard, so he opened the document and saw that it was Xu Hu's handwriting, there were clouds in the book, and said that the strength of Jianye City was empty and morale was low, and it was the time to attack it in one fell swoop. At the beginning of the next day, the gong sounded on the south gate of the city, and the army could be entered. At that time, Xu Hu will dedicate his door. Xu Sheng frowned, took the letter and read it several times. His brother Xu Hu is a person, he knows best that with Xu Hu's loyal temperament, even if he knows that he is in Wei Zhai, he will never easily get along. Wang Geng saw that Xu Sheng was hesitating, and there was a little doubt in his eyes, so he guessed what Xu Sheng was thinking, and hurriedly said.

"Xu Gong doesn't have to be suspicious. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Gong was here, and he was worried about the safety of the eldest lady, with the character of my general, how could he defect to the battle!? ”

When Xu Sheng heard this, he trembled, his face was full of shame, and he said.
