Chapter 588: Destroying Cao (44)

"Newspaper... Enemy troops were found in the north, numbering about 70,000! Li Jing and Chang Yuchun had just settled down when they received another report from the scout.

"Damn, the ass hasn't been hot yet, and the enemy is coming around again." Chang Yuchun couldn't help but complain.

"That's not right!"

Li Jing's face changed.

"What's wrong?" Chang Yuchun asked.

Li Jing said: "There are no pursuers in the north!" It is impossible for them to go around to the north. Unless.... ”

"Unless it's an open jaw?" Chang Yuchun reacted immediately.

"That's right!"

Li Jing also thought the same, and said to the scout: "You hurry up and inquire again, remember their flags.... ”

"No."

After the scouts left, Li Jing's troops went into hiding.

If Zhang Jaw came with 70,000 troops, then everything would be easy. The garrison of Yecheng is only eighty or ninety thousand, and Zhang Jaw took away seventy thousand at once, if he raids Yecheng, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.

Da Da Da Da ....

The scout soon returned.

ran in front of Li Jing and said, "General, the enemy army is holding the banner with the word 'Zhang'. ”

"Zhang Zi Jingqi? Good! ”

Li Jing waved his hand at the scout and said to Chang Yuchun: "General Chang, our opportunity has come." Ha ha.... I really didn't expect that Zhang Jaw would suddenly leave Yecheng and attack me. ”

Chang Yuchun said: "He must think that we have few soldiers, and we are being pursued by Gao Ran and Ju Yi, and he wants to wipe us out in Wei County with all his might?" ”

"Hmm."

Li Jing nodded.

He pondered for a little...

His eyes suddenly opened and he said: "You lead 5,000 soldiers, set up a formation here to hold on, and drag my jaw for me." I led the rest of the soldiers and horses and took a small road to Yecheng. ”

"General. You don't have siege equipment or explosives, how can you break a city in an instant? Once surrounded by Zhang Jaw, Ju Yi, and Gao Ran, they are bound to fall into danger. Chang Yuchun was a little worried.

"I know it's hard. But... I have no other way, no matter how difficult it is, I have to go. It's the same with you, you don't have enough troops, and you have to hold back your jaw. Li Jing said.

"Yes."

Chang Yuchun solemnly replied.

..........................

Night.

The 70,000 troops with open jaws arrived at Chang Yuchun's position and fought fiercely with the mountain col that Chang Yuchun held onto.

Li Jing took the path to Yecheng.

It is about fifteen miles away from the tower of Yecheng.

Without siege equipment, explosives, and troops, how could you capture Yecheng, which has thick walls?

"Someone."

"General." A lieutenant walked over.

Li Jing glanced at him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The last general, Li Fu."

"I'll give you 3,000 troops, you go to Yecheng to challenge, lure the enemy out, and I'll set up a formation here." Li Jing said.

"No."

Li Fu turned around and wanted to leave.

"You wait..." Li Jing took off his armor, helmet, and clothes, and handed them to Li Fu: "Put my clothes on." When you call the formation, you say that your name is Li Jing. ”

"No."

Li Fu quickly put on his armor and helmet.

He led an army of 3,000 to Yecheng, five miles away.

Knock knock...

When Li Fu arrived outside Yecheng, he beat the drums of war.

Seeing a bunch of generals on the city tower, Li Fu shouted and scolded: "Listen to the people in the city, this general Li Jing is ordered to take your Yecheng." Acquaintances hurry up and surrender, otherwise on the day the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left.... ”

"Are you all shrunken-headed turtles? Why don't you dare to go out of the city to fight? ”

Li Fu scolded for half an hour.

The soldiers defending the city couldn't help it.

The defender Zhang Nan led more than 5,000 soldiers out of the city and engaged Li Fu.

Li Fu's martial arts are mediocre, and even Zhang Nan can't beat him. Escaped in just ten moves.

Zhang Nan was in hot pursuit.

Fifteen miles away.

Zhang Nan's more than 5,000 soldiers were ambushed by Li Jingjun. Stones, bows and arrows, a burst of beatings. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded the past and quickly solved Zhang Nan's more than 5,000 troops.

Zhang Nan was tied up by five flowers and sent to Li Jing.

"You're Zhang Nan?" Li Jing asked.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Nan's face was arrogant.

Li Jing turned over and dismounted, untied Zhang Nan, took him aside, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "General Zhang Nan, now there is an opportunity to make great contributions, in front of you, do you want it?" ”

"Hmph..."

Zhang Nan sneered a few times.

He thought to himself, Lao Tzu has been tied up by you, what great merit do you make?

"General Zhang Nan, the opportunity I mentioned to make great contributions is not for Cao Cao, but for my lord. Now you submit to me, take Yecheng for me, and I will ensure that you are prosperous, rich, and inexhaustible. I will report your merits to the lord, and at least make you a general. Li Jing said.

Zhang Nan looked sideways slightly...

Li Jing took a look, felt that there was a play, and continued: "General Zhang Nan, do you still need to talk about the current situation?" Cao Cao even lost the Central Plains, and his army was defeated. It won't be long before he will perish, and if you don't find a way out for yourself now, what will you do in the future? Listen to my advice and capture Yecheng for me.... ”

"Seriously?" Zhang Nanhu said.

"Of course it's true!" In order to win Zhang Nan's letter, Li Jing took out a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen, wrote a note and handed it to Zhang Nan, saying, "You take it." This is my promise to you. If I don't honor it, you make it public. I'm going to be ruined. ”

"Okay, I believe you..."

Zhang Nan's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

"That's a promise?" Li Jing muttered in his heart.

Zhang Nan took the note in his hand and looked at it again and again.

Li Jing smiled and asked, "Did you agree?" ”

"I promise."

"Okay, gentleman's word, the horse is hard to chase." Li Jing stood up and took a few steps back and forth. To be honest, he didn't fully trust Zhang Nan. If you hand over the troops to Zhang Nan and enter Yecheng, it is likely to rebel again. At that time, 5,000 soldiers and horses were lost, not to mention, it was difficult to conquer Yecheng.

Should I gamble or not?

"The general doesn't trust me?" Zhang Nan noticed it.

"Of course I trust you." Li Jing held his hand and said, "General Zhang Nan, I promise you. As long as you help me capture Yecheng, I... I'll give you 500,000 money personally, how? You have to know that 500,000 yuan can buy a good house in Yangzhou. ”

"Okay."

Zhang Nan nodded.

Li Jing called another lieutenant: "Go and select 5,000 elites, change into the clothes of the enemy, follow Zhang Nan into Yecheng, control the city tower, and welcome our army into the city." ”

"No."

The lieutenant replied.

Zhang Nan hugged his fists at Li Jing and left with the captain.

Li Jing thought in his heart, let's try it. Regardless of whether Zhang Nan is sincere or pretending to be lured. As long as you can open the city gate and rush in, Yecheng will be conquered. If not, Zhang Nan will not escape death.

Li Jing believes that Zhang Nan will make the right choice.

After a stick of incense.

Zhang Nan and Captain Na led 5,000 soldiers back to Yecheng.

Li Jing chased and killed in the back.

Arrive at the foot of Yecheng City.

The generals defending the city saw that it was Zhang Nan who came back, and opened the city without hesitation.

"Kill...!" Five thousand soldiers stormed the city and quickly occupied the gates.

The gates were wide open.

Li Jing led nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses and rushed in.

So far, Yecheng has been conquered!
