No. 063 Capture the Throne 1
"Yes, Childe, now there are more than a thousand soldiers in this army who are all White Wave Army." Cheng Lian replied immediately.
"The Chen Palace that the dog entered, he dared to pit the old words." Jin Jue immediately deduced the purpose of Chen Gong from this detail, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
"Ah, Childe, I heard that it was Lu Bu and Chen Gong who took the initiative to send Bai Bojun across the Yellow River, and they found us all the way down Wuguan. By doing this, they indirectly helped you replenish your forces, didn't they help you again? Cheng Lian asked in surprise.
"Hmph, General Cheng, who am I? Even if our Jin family is in tatters, it is also a family of Jingzhao County, if someone puts the name of the reincarnated Heavenly Master, the new leader of the Yellow Turban Army, on his head. Let me ask you, after the warlords of Xiliang learn about this, who will still have dealings with you and me? Although they were anti-thieves before, they have already been all whitewashed, and now they are all officials of the imperial court.
All right! Even if you don't have anything to do with them, it's not really a big deal. However, let me ask you another question, have you heard of the Yellow Turban Army that surrendered to the imperial court, but have you ever heard of the Yellow Turban Army Heavenly Master or Leader who surrendered to the imperial court? When the time comes, you can leave me, what should I do myself, even if I am willing to surrender to the court, the court will agree even on the surface, but after the fact, they will definitely unload the mill and kill the donkey.
Besides, you haven't thought of a more important thing. Hanzhong County is near the left of Luoyang, Zhang Lu is a rice thief, they are all Heavenly Master Dao, one mountain does not allow two tigers, originally, we will develop slowly in Luoyang for a year or two, I am not afraid of him Zhang Lu, but, now this rumor together, do you think Zhang Lu will give me time to develop slowly?
As soon as more and more Yellow Turban troops take refuge in my account, Zhang Lu will definitely immediately send troops to nip me in the bud. You Cheng Lian is the enemy of 10,000 people, but look at these soldiers. Chen Gong is not helping me, but forcing me to a dead end! Alas! Chen Gong, Chen Gong, this plan of yours is really poisonous! The more Jin Jue thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he asked all the eighteen generations of ancestors of Chen Gong in his heart.
At this moment, Cheng Lian was convinced.
A small rumor actually brought so much trouble to the child, with Cheng Lian's little head, he couldn't think of this. He lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
"Alas, forget it, it's not your fault, what's more, since the Bai Bo Army has found you, if you don't take them in, you will make a big mess. Let's take care of the things in front of us first! Jin Jue also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Cheng Lian at all, it was his own soft-heartedness for a while, and he actually caused such a mess because of a crazy word from an old yellow scarf.
However, Jin Jue's heart immediately became happy again, and he said: "This matter is good for me, but it is a killing move for Cao Cao's traitor!" ”
"Yes, childe, everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao's gang started with 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and as soon as this rumor came out, even the Baibo Army could be attracted, not to mention Cao Cao's army, which was very close to Wuguan. Hahaha!" Li Feng immediately came to his senses, laughed and admitted.
When the people around heard this, they all laughed.
"General Cheng, you give an order now, let the Baibo army be the vanguard, and the other troops will immediately march to the city of Caohan after the formation of the team, and immediately march to the city of Caohan, stop the army at a stone's throw outside the city wall, and set up camp, there must be no mistake." After everyone finished laughing, Jin Jue immediately looked solemn and issued an order.
"Childe, by all means, once such a team arrives at the city in broad daylight, if the defenders of Caohan immediately open the city gate to fight, it will immediately collapse." Cheng Lian hurriedly spoke to stop him.
"Hmph, I am the lord, you should know what your identity is, General Cheng, if you are not willing to take on this important responsibility, there will be General Li as the commander of this army, if General Li is unwilling, I will go to the Baibo Army to find a general who is willing to take on this important task." When Jin Jue heard this, he said angrily.
"Lao Cheng, you have worked hard all the way, let me this task!" Li Feng naturally had no objections, although he didn't know why Jin Jue was so confident, but after this period of getting along and the siege of the city during this time, he had formed a sense of trust in Jin Jue in his heart.
"You, why should I give you the team I pulled up? Hum! Childe, the last general will obey the order! Cheng Lian didn't dare to talk nonsense when he saw it, and with a stalk of his neck, he went down to issue an order.
After he left, Jin Jue explained: "After many days of observation, Song Jian is quite suspicious, and he is very confident in the city defense of Caohan City, obviously there are more than 10,000 defenders under his command, but they are still pressed and beaten by Ma Dai's 1,000 cavalry. It can be seen that he is just seeking stability and does not want to take risks. Therefore, the small and strong city is both the advantage and the disadvantage of the city. Song Jian relied too much on this city.
Moreover, the timing of the appearance of our troops was too strange. Without finding out exactly where we came from, he would have thought in his mind that we were just a decoy set by the Ma Teng army, and that if he sent his troops out of the city, he would inevitably be attacked by cavalry. Therefore, I am 100% sure that if I immediately march into the city now, Song Jian will definitely not dare to send troops immediately today. ”
"Childe, what if he sends troops tomorrow?" Li Feng asked.
"Hehehe, didn't my son say just now, tonight, I will definitely take this city."
……
This is the true image of the city of Caohan being attacked outside the east gate again, but still did not dare to send troops to fight.
If Song Jian was still at the time when he first started the army, Jin Jue would have lost this battle, but unfortunately, he had been the king of Heshou Pinghan for more than ten years in the small city of Caohan, and he had already lost his original sharpness.
also missed the only chance to defeat Jin Jue.
That night, Jin Jue began to repeat his old tricks again, first gathered the old, sick and disabled in the army, and let them take the golden drum to knock under the walls of the four cities of Caohan City, this time, he also ruthlessly sent Song Jian with the supervision team, and forced the veterans of these armies to continue to beat the golden drum with arrows around him.
War always kills people, and Jin Jue is using this cruel method, and the people who are destined to be abandoned among the generals are consumed in this way.
After listening to the instructions, Cheng Lian and Li Feng were very supportive of Jin Jue's decision. They also knew that if these people remained in the army, they would only waste food, and that expelling them from the army or killing them all would inevitably affect morale, but in this way, there would be no commotion in the army.
Anyone can do it, so why can't you send these old guys? What's more, the defenders had limited accuracy in the dark of night, and the veterans who were shot could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
At the same time, Jin Jue asked Cheng Lian to pick out more than a dozen people who dared to die from the army, and Jin Jue issued a heavy reward - if they didn't die in battle, the brothers or sons in their families would not have to be soldiers in the future, and Jin Jue would train them to become civilian officials. Don't keep trying.
With such a heavy reward, Cheng Lian immediately gathered the people.
These dozen or so dead soldiers only need to complete one task - to kill people, and moreover, they still continue to climb to the southeast corner of the city of Caohan, where they will kill people. When a bonfire is lit under the city, those who are still alive among them can jump directly off the city wall, and Jin Jue will personally treat their injuries.
The sneak attack was both successful and unsuccessful.
Success, which means that these dozen or so dead soldiers actually succeeded in climbing the city wall, and they killed dozens of defenders defending this section of the city wall at night.
The failure means that all the dead soldiers sent by Jin Jue finally died on this section of the city wall. This is because there is a lack of backbone among them, so none of them can fight their way out of the siege and jump outside the city wall according to the prior agreement.
However, this sneak attack still brought a great shock to the defenders of Caohan, which was obviously a group of chaotic troops, killing people, and it was not inferior to the previous Ma Teng army.
Coupled with the fact that the golden drums sounded in unison all night, it was another sleepless night up and down the entire city of Zaohan.
And the general attack of Jin Jue's army was launched from the city wall in the southeast corner of the city from dawn the next day.
