Chapter Seventy-Four: The Siege of Suzhou (7)

That night, after returning to his tent, Yang Wu couldn't help but take out the wooden box that Zhou Mengjie gave him that day and open it, but inside was a book of poems. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It turned out that when Zhou Mengjie was idle, he rearranged all the poems he had "written". Yang Wu has plagiarized the masterpieces of later generations from time to time in the past few months, some of which were passed on to Zhou Mengjie by Yang Jing, and some of them were poems specially chanted for her, because there were too many, if she hadn't helped sort out this time, Yang Wu himself might not be able to remember which poems he had plagiarized.

"Who reads the west wind and is cool alone? Xiao Xiao Huang Ye closed the window. Contemplating the past and setting up the remnant sun. was shocked by the wine, and the gambling books were consumed with the fragrance of tea. At that time, it was just ordinary. ”

Looking at the juanxiu regular script, Yang Wu imagined the scene of Zhou Mengjie carefully sorting out these words one by one under the flickering lights, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Alas, if you want to go back to see her, I don't know when I will wait."

Thinking of the unsuccessful siege of the city in the past few days, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh. Although Zhang Da suffered many casualties in the city, the casualties on Yang Wu's side were even greater.

At this moment, Cheng Xun suddenly came to report outside, "Childe, someone asked to see you." ”

"Who is it?"

"That man claimed to be from the city, but he was an old friend of General Qin, because he was dissatisfied with the guards in the city, and was willing to surrender to Gongzi as Gongzi's internal response."

Yang Wu hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" ”

He was having a headache about the siege, and when he heard that someone in the city was coming, he was naturally overjoyed. If there is an internal response, it will be much easier for them to attack the city.

"Now it's in the big tent, and General Qin has already gone over to accompany him." Cheng Xun hurriedly replied.

"Okay, I'll get over there!" Yang Wu hurriedly put away the wooden box and hurried to the big tent without changing clothes.

"This must be a righteous man from the city, right? In Lower Yang Wu, I have seen Mr. As soon as Yang Wu entered the big tent, he saw that Qin Pei was talking with a middle-aged man in black, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The middle-aged man also hurriedly stood up and saluted back; "How dare you, in Xia Cao Yuanliang, I have seen the eldest son! I have heard the name of the son for a long time, and I am deeply honored to see it today! ”

On the side, Qin Pei also smiled and said, "Childe, this Brother Cao is an old acquaintance of the last general. When the last general defended Kunshan, the Cao family made great efforts to provide a large amount of military rations for our army, otherwise the last general would not have been able to hold it for so long. ”

Now Yang Wu admired it even more, "It turns out that Mr. Cao still had such righteous deeds back then, which is really disrespectful!" ”

Cao Yuanliang hurriedly humbled himself, and only sat down again after a few polite manners.

With the friendship of the year, Yang Wu is even more looking forward to Cao Yuanliang's arrival. After some questions and answers, I learned that after Gu Quanwu captured Kunshan, because he was a very personable person, Qin Pei sent a robe to laugh at him, but he didn't kill him after capturing Qin Pei, but pleaded for Qin Pei in front of Qian Biao. This is the case for Qin Pei, and he is naturally tolerant of the Cao family, and does not punish them.

However, good days always come to an end one day, and after Gu Quanwu left, the new Kunshan guard Zhang Da was entangled in the Cao family's support for Qin Pei, and asked them for money from time to time.

This Zhang Da is domineering, rampant, and often suppresses the Cao family, but he holds the military power, so the Cao family can only swallow his anger. However, now that Yang Wu led the army, they saw hope, so Cao Yuanliang went out of the city overnight to vote for Yang Wu.

"Childe, everything I said below is true, if there is a lie, teach me to separate my body and head, and I will not die well!" After talking about the reason why he took refuge in Yang Wu, Cao Yuanliang swore to the sky again.

Yang Wu hurriedly stopped, "Why should Mr. Cao be like this, how dare I not believe Mr. Cao's words!" I just don't know what the situation of the defenders in the city is now? ”

Qin Pei also persuaded on the side, "Yes, Brother Cao, we were also through hardships back then, how can we not believe in Brother Cao's reasoning, let's sit down and talk about the situation of the defenders in the city." ”

Cao Yuanliang sat down again, "Alas, this kind of thing is too sudden after all, and I am worried that my son will not believe it, so I swear." It's just that the ability of inferior people is limited, and Zhang Da can't trust us at all, so we don't know much news, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help Gongzi much. ”

Then, Cao Yuanliang introduced the situation of the defenders in the city, including the deployment of troops in each gate, casualties, food reserves in the city, and so on.

"I'm ashamed, that's all I know!"

Yang Wuxi said, "Enough is enough, originally the general didn't know anything about the city, but now with Mr. Cao's news, we will be more sure of attacking the city." Dare to ask Mr. Cao how he plans to receive our army into the city? ”

Cao Yuanliang said again, "It's not a secret, the commander of the garrison at the south gate is in the lower hall, which is also the reason why he can come out of the south gate." As long as it is tomorrow night, my cousin will open the city gate and let the army of Gongzi in, and then Kunshan will be at his fingertips! ”

"Good! If Ling Tang and nephew could really make such a great achievement, he would have been rewarded sparingly. Yang Wu was overjoyed and immediately began to promise, "Not only is Ling Tang's nephew, Mr. Cao is such a righteous man, how can he not be rewarded?" I would like to hire Mr. as an inspector of Kunshan to assist in the management of Kunshan in the future, but I wonder what Mr. thinks? ”

"Thank you very much!" Cao Yuanliang was overjoyed, with a smile on his face, he immediately bowed down and said, "Subordinate Cao Yuanliang pays a visit to Gongzi, and is willing to serve Gongzi as a dog and horse!" ”

Yang Wu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "In this way, it will be hard for Lord Cao in the future!" ”

On the side, Qin Pei also said again and again, "Congratulations to Brother Cao for stepping into his official career, with the next contribution to the city, presumably Brother Cao will be able to rise to prominence in the future!" ”

The so-called Kunshan Inspector is not a judicial official of the imperial court, in the words of later generations, it is an official without establishment, and it is a subordinate official canonized by Yang Wu in his own name, but in this era, many officials began to embark on the path of official careers, plus he climbed Yang Wu, the "big tree", and in the future, when Yang Wu became a festival, Cao Yuanliang could also be promoted, so he had a great future in the future.

After some politeness, Cao Yuanliang said, "Tomorrow, I will ask Gongzi to launch an attack as usual, but in the end, when the army is withdrawn, you can do it as embarrassingly as possible, so that Zhang Da will think that he has won a big victory and let his guard down; In the evening, Gongzi led the army to attract Zhang Da's attention in Xicheng, and secretly sent 2,000 people to ambush in Nancheng, and then asked Gongzi to use the rocket as a number, and my nephew would open the city gate to welcome Gongzi into the city after seeing the rocket. I wonder what Childe thinks? ”

Yang Wu nodded, this plan is indeed feasible, but is this a trap?

Although Kunshan is small, but there is also an urn city, if the enemy army set up an ambush on the urn city but deliberately lure him in, then the city gate will be closed is the urn to catch turtles.

Seeing his face, Cao Yuanliang seemed to guess his thoughts, "If Gongzi is still not at ease, then tomorrow night, his subordinates will personally go out of the city to be hostages in Gongzi's army, what does Gongzi think?" ”

When he said this, it was equivalent to using his own life as a guarantee, and Yang Wu and the others were naturally satisfied, and immediately decided to do what they had just agreed.

Next, the three of them discussed some specific details, and Cao Yuanliang hurriedly left and returned to the city.
