Chapter 1343: Zhu Huan's Strategy (Part II)
"But it's me who is the eldest brother who is forced to be a prostitute!! How can I have the face to see my mother in the future!? ”
Wang Geng heard the words on the side, and persuaded him again. Wang Geng was articulate, and Xu Sheng gradually relieved himself, so he led Wang Geng to see Cao Pi together. Let's say that Cao Pi heard that someone broke into the camp at night and came to meet Xu Sheng secretly, and there were bursts of brilliance in his eyes, and he tapped the case, his momentum was restrained, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the soldiers reported that Xu Sheng and a righteous man named Wang Geng asked to see him. Cao Pi's face changed and he was summoned in. Suddenly, Xu Sheng and Wang Geng stepped into the tent together and saluted one after another. Cao Pi waved his hand, which was regarded as a response, and then his eyes were like torches, and he looked at Xu Sheng's expression coldly. Xu Sheng's face was calm, without any panic. Cao Pi raised his eyebrows, then looked at Wang Geng, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I heard from the soldiers that there is a person who claims to be the deceased of General Xu, is this righteous man?"
When Wang Geng heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and Xu Sheng replied.
"Back to His Royal Highness, this person is my brother Xu Hu's general, and he broke into the camp at night to see him, but there is a confidential matter, and he discussed it with me."
"Oh? What's the matter? Can General Xu tell me? ”
Cao Pi didn't see joy or anger, smiled lovely, and asked. Xu Sheng then took out the document from his arms and handed it to Cao Pi. Cao Pi took it, looked at it, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha!! This time it's really an angel, I have to build a business!! The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, General Xu, your brother, is really Junjie!! ”
When Xu Sheng heard this, his heart was pinched, but he was full of bitterness when he heard it. Cao Pi then rewarded Wang Geng, taught him to go back to reorganize, and promised that when the matter was completed, a meritorious person would be rewarded. Wang Geng thanked him and retreated. Cao Zhang's face froze and asked Cao Pi.
"I don't know what the royal brother likes?"
Cao Pi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and handed the letter in his hand to Cao Zhang. Cao Zhangzuo bowed, took it with both hands, and looked at the letter. After Cao Zhang finished reading it, he was silent, but handed the letter to Hao Zhao on the side. Hao Zhao took it, and after looking at it for a while, his face was calm, he glanced at Xu Sheng, and then said to Cao Pi.
"Your Highness, if this is a fraud, what can I do?"
As soon as Hao Zhao said this, Xu Shenghu was stunned, looked at Hao Zhao fiercely, and shouted angrily.
"Hao Bodao, you said this, could it be that my brother is cheating!?"
Hao Zhao's face was cold, and he said indifferently.
"General Xu doesn't have to make a big fuss, he can't judge things by facts. Although Xu Hu is your brother, but he is a courtier of Eastern Wu, if you want to deceive, lure our army into the city, so as to ambush it, our army is unprepared, all become a turtle in the urn, and will be wiped out!! ”
"You!!"
Xu Sheng was full of anger when he heard this, and he shouted, and he was about to attack. Hao Zhao was not afraid, looked at each other coldly, Cao Zhang hurriedly took a step, blocked between the two, and shouted.
"This is an important place in the military camp, you are waiting for me to be a soldier of the Great Wei, so-for-tat, what kind of system!!"
Cao Zhang is young, although he is born with a domineering spirit, his momentum bursts out, his eyes are like golden light, and his momentum is terrifying. Xu Sheng only felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his spirit fluttered, and then his face turned pale, and he turned to Cao Pi and shouted.
"His Royal Highness, my brother Xu Hu attaches the most importance to filial piety, and everyone in Dongwu knows it. This time, if it weren't for the fear that I would affect my family and hurt my mother, I would never have rebelled against the master. I wish to save my life!! ”
Cao Pi saw that Xu Sheng's face was calm and there was no falsehood, so he immediately believed most of it. At this time, Hao Zhao and Cao Zhang heard what Xu Sheng said, their faces changed, and they showed surprise, as if they didn't expect Xu Sheng to trust his brother so much that he dared to guarantee with his life. Cao Pi's face sank, his eyes looked at Cao Zhang, and asked slowly.
"Brother Zhang, what do you think?"
When Cao Zhang heard this, his expression froze, and he arched his hand.
"I think General Xu is a loyal martyr, and his brother must not be a treacherous person, so he may have a try!"
Cao Pi listened, his eyes showed joy, he bowed slightly, and looked at Hao Zhao again. Hao Zhao understood, looked at Xu Sheng, and after looking at it for a while, his attitude suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice.
"Although General Xu is a new investment, he is indeed a credible person. But. ”
Hao Zhao frowned suddenly, and was about to change his words, but before he could speak, Cao Pi suddenly interrupted with laughter.
"That's the case, without further ado, you can quickly prepare the troops and horses, and when the next day comes, you will immediately lead the troops into Jianye!!"
Hao Zhao wanted to remind Cao Pi to be careful of Xu Hu, but when he saw that Cao Pi had already made up his mind, he sighed in his heart, but he still didn't say what he was saying. At this time, Xu Sheng's face suddenly tightened, and he knelt on the ground and begged.
"There will be a reluctant invitation in the end, and I hope His Highness will agree."
"Haha. This time, if I can build a business without much effort, Wen Xiang and your brother should be the first to take the lead. What do you want, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
Cao Pi smiled brightly, and the corners of his eyebrows were bent with laughter. Xu Sheng's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice.
"If His Royal Highness the Prince of the World gets the construction of the industry, I hope to be able to emulate the benevolence and righteousness of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in Xianyang, and make an agreement with the sergeant in three chapters, so as not to harm the innocent people in the city."
"Wen Xiang doesn't have to worry too much. My Great Wei is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can I kill the people indiscriminately!? ”
Cao Pi said that, he immediately ordered the generals to govern their respective subordinates, and after obtaining the establishment of the industry, but if anyone kills, injures or steals, they will be dealt with by military law! Seeing this, Xu Sheng's heart, which was already in turmoil, was much calmer, and he hurriedly thanked Cao Pi again and again.
The next day, when it was about the beginning of the shift, the moonlight had not yet risen. Cao Pi led his troops to the mountains a few miles away from the south gate. Xu Chu received the order, for the front of the people, slowly looked at the south gate and marched. Suddenly, all I could hear was the sound of a shell blowing on the west gate, and the shouts suddenly arose, and the torches burned on the gate, and the city gate was wide open, and the drawbridge was lowered.
Xu Chu saw it clearly, thinking that it must be Xu Hu who sacrificed the city according to the agreement, shouted, rushed on the horse, and the soldiers behind him shouted and killed, and looked at the south gate all over the mountains and fields. Cao Pi heard the shouting of killing in front of him, and he expected that the men and horses in the front had already marched, so he hurriedly issued a military order and ordered all the troops to move together. Suddenly, the drums beat loudly, and the sound of shouting and killing swept like angry waves, shaking the heavens and the earth.
However, it was said that Xu Chu rushed in first, clashes straight ahead, and went straight to the county to kill and capture Zhuge Jin and other Wu Chen. I didn't know that there was no one on the road, and when Xu Chu found out the clues, the people and horses under his command had already rushed into Jianye City, and all the soldiers and horses behind them wanted to compete for merit and rushed in. Xu Chu's heart was shocked, and his years of experience in fighting suddenly made him guess that he might be able to hit the trick at the moment.
Xu Chu hurriedly pulled the reins, turned back the horse, and shouted loudly.
"Stop!! Watch out for ambushes!! ”
Xu Chu shouted angrily, if the tiger roared, the soldiers under his command were startled, and they all reined in their horses, and the people and horses behind them couldn't react, and they suddenly collided. At this moment, a cannon rang out in the county office, the golden drums sounded in unison, and the shouts were like a river boiling over the sea. Zhu Huan was transferred out of the east lane, and Xu Hu was transferred out of the west lane, and the two of them each led the soldiers and civilians in Jianye City to attack and cover up. Seeing this, Xu Chu was at a loss for a while, and saw that the two crowds of people were overwhelmingly surrounded, and the soldiers and horses were panicked. Xu Chu shouted angrily, twisted the tiger head knife in his hand, and went to resist.
On the other side, Cao Pigang rushed into Jianye City on horseback, and heard the fierce fighting in front of him, and immediately knew the plan, and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops. At this moment, the city gate behind him suddenly burst into flames, quickly turning into a sea of fire, and the retreat was broken. Cao Pi was so frightened that his face was pale, and suddenly in all directions, there were bursts of shouts and killings like thunderbolts, and the people of Jianye City rushed over with their weapons in their hands. The Wei soldiers responded in a hurry, and for a while, due to the sudden change in the battle situation, everyone woke up like a dream, and they couldn't react, and they were killed by the people of Jianye and had no power to fight back, and they were defeated and retreated. I saw that in the crowd everywhere, the vehicles were piled with firewood and grass, and the people of Jianye lit and burned one after another, and in an instant, dozens of trains, in the direction of the people's push, collided from all directions. The Wei soldiers dodged one after another, and the situation was chaotic in an instant, and the team was disconnected one after another, and it was difficult to take care of the beginning and the end.
"Wei Kou has invaded my Dongwu realm, the country is about to be ruined, and it is incumbent on me to fight for the country as subjects of Dongwu! ! ! Kill~!! ”
A member of the Eastern Wu generals, shouted, danced weapons and crashed into the chaotic army, like a tiger down the mountain, indiscriminately chopping and chopping, Jianye army and civilian, regardless of men and women, the old, the weak, the young and the old, each raised their weapons, rushed to the chaotic army, brave and not afraid of death, where they saw the Wei soldiers, it was killed. Jianye City is close to the Central Plains, has always been prosperous, the population is very large, there are 70,000 or 80,000 people in the city, I don't know how many people have come here, and there are crowds of people around. Cao Pi was so shocked that his heart was in turmoil, knowing that if this continued, his army would definitely be defeated and suffered heavy casualties, so he immediately made a decision and ordered the withdrawal of the army. As soon as Cao Pi's order fell, the various departments of the Wei soldiers were suddenly in chaos, dozens of groups, each looking at the north, east, and west gates and fled. Cao Pi hurriedly led a group of soldiers and horses to flee in the direction of the east gate. As soon as they arrived at the east gate, there was a violent sound of bowstrings in the city, and arrows fell like a shower. Cao Pi was in a hurry to flee for his life, and he was unprepared for a while, and when he saw the random arrows shooting, he screamed in his heart.
"I'm dying!!"
At this moment, there was a sudden roar, Xu Sheng rushed out from behind the flying horse, the big knife in his hand danced impermeable, and there was a burst of violent noise, shooting down an arrow, and the broken arrow fell with an earthquake. Suddenly, an arrow was so fast that it was silent, Xu Sheng slashed into the air, and the arrow shot into the armor on Xu Sheng's chest with a bang. Xu Sheng screamed in pain and almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, at this time, the first round of arrows in the city was exhausted, and Xu Sheng endured the severe pain and hurriedly shouted to Cao Pi.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World doesn't need to panic, the last general knows that it will be difficult to release his sin after death, even if you are broken, you must be protected from this Jianye City!!"
When Cao Pi heard this, he reacted suddenly, and his eyes couldn't help but have a look of hesitation. Suddenly, the arrows in the city rose again, Xu Sheng shouted angrily, waved his knife and pulled out the arrows, and when a round of arrows fell, Xu Sheng was hit by another arrow and hurriedly urged. Cao Pi gritted his teeth, hurriedly pulled the reins, and rushed to the horse.
Xu Sheng guarded in front of Cao Pi, galloped wildly, and looked at the city gate to conflict. Wu Jiang, a member of the city, recognized Xu Sheng, and saw that Xu Sheng would rather use his body as a shield to block arrows for the red-robed soldier behind him, and immediately guessed that the red-robed soldier must be Cao Pi, and hurriedly shouted, and hundreds of crossbowmen in the city kept shooting arrows at Cao Pi.
