Chapter 164: The inside should be combined with the outside
In the Hanzhong military camp, in the handsome tent, Yang Bai knelt on the ground, touching a few bags that came out of his forehead, resentful in his heart, but still with a look of remorse on his face.
In other words, he Yang Bai wanted Uncle Liu Huang to offer his knees, if he wasn't forced to be helpless, who would be willing to come and ask to see Zhang Lu?
"Lord, Liu Bei has three tiger generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, they are all fierce men who can fight fiercely with Lu Bu, the world's first general, sneak attack Shangyong City at night and quietly open the city gate, how can we prevent it?"
"After the city was broken, we also experienced a bloody battle, with a bloody battle of 20,000 troops, and in the end there were only more than 10,000 people left."
"In the end, under the obscenity of Guan, Zhang, and Zhao, it is difficult for our brothers to die if they want to, how can they not stoop to serve the enemy?"
Yang Bai wept like a complaint, three points true and seven points false, explaining the reason for the loss of Shangyong City.
In order to gain Zhang Lu's trust again, even if it was only a limited amount of trust, Yang Bai needed to explain the reason for the loss of Shangyong City and the reason why their brother had succumbed to serve the enemy.
"No, I know that when the lord led the army back, our brothers were so happy that they wanted to jump up, so they waited to join forces with the lord and capture Xicheng County in one fell swoop, and kill Liu Bei to take revenge!" Yang Bai continued.
Hearing this, Zhang Lu and Yang Song became interested.
"Sure enough, Yang Bai is here to contact, are you going to cooperate with the outside world?"
Zhang Lu was very happy in his heart. Originally, they were ready to retreat, but at this time, they saw the opportunity to break through Xicheng County.
As long as Yang Ren and Yang Bai can do it anyway, they don't need to establish any miracles, they just need to quietly open the city gate of Xicheng County at night.
When the time came, 100,000 Hanzhong troops poured into the city, and Liu Bei could not escape.
Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave and invincible, it is impossible to stop the 100,000 army, right?
As long as he can capture Xicheng County, Liu Bei will not have anything to worry about.
It's just, Yang Bai, do they really want to do it anyway?
Zhang Lu was happy, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart.
At this time, Yang Song asked: "Since you want to recapture Xicheng County anyway, the auxiliary main kilometer should be outside the country, so where is the secret envoy we sent yesterday now?!" ”
Finally, Yang Song got the point.
It is said that with the contact of the secret envoy, if Yang Ren and Yang Bai want to do it anyway, and then the secret envoy will go out of the city to contact, why should Yang Bai go out of the city in person?
It must be known that if Yang Bai goes out of the city and is detected by Liu Beijun, it is not only dangerous, but it is also very likely to expose the plan.
When the time comes, it will definitely not be possible to cooperate with the outside and the inside!
Now, it was Yang Bai who went out of the city to contact, but it was not the secret envoy, and Yang Song also felt that there was a problem.
"Could it be that Yang Bai said that the inside and outside should be combined is false, they want to lure the lord into the city?" Yang Song felt that if this was the case, it would be necessary for him to remind the lord and draw a line with Yang Bai and them.
……
Hearing his cousin's question, Yang Bai knelt on the ground, raised his head and said in surprise: "Secret envoy, what secret envoy?" ”
"Could it be that the lord has sent secret envoys into the city to contact?"
Yang Bai looked surprised, saying that he had never seen any secret envoys at all.
Then, as if remembering something, Yang Bai patted his head and said: "It's not good, if the lord sends a secret envoy into the city, I'm afraid that the secret envoy has already been captured by Liu Bei's gang, and Liu Bei is also on guard against our brothers at this time." ”
"How can this be?"
"We want to do it anyway, if we want a plan that should be combined with the outside, I'm afraid it will be in vain!"
Yang Bai knelt on the ground and muttered to himself with a distracted expression.
Seeing Yang Bai like this, listening to his muttering, Zhang Lu and Yang Song looked at each other.
"Could it be that their brother really hasn't seen the secret envoy?"
"Could it be that the secret envoy was really arrested by Liu Bei?"
What Zhang Lu cared about at this time was whether Yang Ren and the others had taken over with the secret envoy.
If they take over with the secret envoy, but now it is not the secret envoy who is out of the city to contact, it means that Yang Ren and Yang Bai have a problem; If they didn't take over with the secret envoy, it would seem that Yang Ren and Yang Bai were barely loyal ministers.
After all, if they don't know that there is such a thing as a secret envoy, but they take the initiative to go out of the city to contact, saying that they want to do it anyway, saying that they want to cooperate with the outside world, what is this not a loyal minister?
As for the secret envoy, was he really arrested by Liu Bei?
Zhang Lu is not worried.
That secret envoy, but he was a loyal servant in Zhanglu's mansion, shouted a highly poisonous liner in his mouth, once he was caught by the enemy, he would definitely commit suicide by swallowing poison, and he would definitely not leak any news.
"You really haven't seen the Emissary?"
Zhang Lu stared at Yang Bai's eyes tightly and asked. If Yang Bai lies, his eyes will surely flicker.
Yang Bai's eyes did not flicker, but lowered his head and kowtowed: "My lord, the minister really hasn't seen any secret envoys!" ”
"My lord, please think about it, if the last general has seen that secret envoy, do you still need to go out of the city to contact the lord?"
"Even if the lord is not guilty of the last general, what if he is arrested by Liu Bei's sentry?"
"Moreover, the last general is next to the lord, if the lord thinks that the last general has a problem, the two crimes will be punished together, and the last general will be directly beheaded!"
Lying on the ground, Yang Bai was very worried. "It's just a little bit, and it's exposed!"
Fortunately, when he was forced to go out of the city to see Zhang Lu, the two military advisors had already considered these problems, and even his current way of dealing with them was taught to him by the two military advisors.
……
In fact, at this time, Zhang Lu already had some belief that Yang Bai had never seen the secret envoy.
In other words, it is very likely that the secret envoy has been arrested by Liu Bei and then sacrificed.
Because, logically speaking, if Yang Bai and they have seen the secret envoy, they should continue to keep in touch with the secret envoy, even if they want to eat inside and outside and pit him Zhang Lu again, they must appease the secret envoy, and then they secretly report to Liu Bei.
Now, Yang Bai has quietly gone out of the city in person, which is a risk!
Yang Song came to Zhang Lu's side, and the two of them exchanged views in a low voice. Then, Zhang Lu asked: "Okay, let's not dwell on this problem, you can tell me, how do you brothers want to cooperate with each other?" ”
Yang Bai raised his head and replied: "The last general and Yang Ren's command, as well as more than 10,000 brothers, are not trusted by Liu Bei at this time, and have been monitored in the camp in the city. The defense, patrol and other things in the city are not our brothers' share. ”
"Moreover, the city is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for our brothers to make a difference even if they suddenly break out."
"Therefore, the last general has discussed with his brother Yang Ren, and quietly opened the west city gate at night to welcome the lord's army into the city."
"After all, although Xicheng County is heavily guarded, it is mostly on the city wall. Although there were patrols in the city, the number was not very large. We only need to select more than 100 elites among the more than 10,000 brothers and quietly open the West City Gate at night, which can still be done. ”
Siege, it is difficult to open the gates from outside the city.
However, taking advantage of the night, more than 100 elites quietly touched the city gate and opened the city gate, which was still very easy.
Historically, such cases are not uncommon, and they are impossible to prevent.
"The last general will stay with the lord, and my brother Yang will be the presiding officer in the city."
"Tonight's third watch, as long as you see three torches lit up at the west city gate, this is Yang Ren's success in opening the city gate. When the time comes, the lord will give the last general a soldier and horse, and the last general will take the lead in the city, and will repay the lord's kindness! ”
Yang Bai explained.
