Chapter Ninety-One: Infighting
"Dashuai, will there be fraud in this?" Geling, the former county government has now become Liu Bi's private residence, and after getting the news that Huang Shao secretly sent someone, a general under Liu Pi frowned.
"No, it won't." Liu Pi said with a smile: "Although Huang Shao is not as good as me, but in the past, he was also a figure on the commander's side, and now He Yi was defeated by the official army, and he lost the city and lost his land when he was tired, and he was already resentful, so He Yi took the opportunity to annex his deployment, if you were Huang Shao, would you hold a grudge against He Yi?" ”
"What the marshal said is very true, so we ...... Do you want to take it in? The Yellow Turban General was also suspicious when he heard this, but he was still a little unhappy to take Huang Shao in: "That Huang Shao has lost his subordinates now, even if he accepts it, it is meaningless, but it offends He Yi." ”
"Accept it, why don't you accept it?" Liu Bi laughed and said: "If you want to achieve great things, you should have a big heart, and let you colleagues see, I, Liu Pi, are more popular than He Yi, and although Huang Shao has lost his subordinates, his prestige is still there, and he is here, won't those He Yi subordinates outside the city be like-minded, and it won't take long to completely annex He Yi." ”
"Handsome and wise!" Several Yellow Turban generals lit up when they heard this, if they could annex He Yi, then Liu Bi would be the strongest force in the southern part of the country, and as Liu Bi's cronies, their status would naturally rise.
After Huang Shao got Ye Zhao's order, he took advantage of the opportunity to send food out of the city every day to get in touch with Liu Bi, Liu Bi actually didn't want to compromise with He Yi, but now there are 50,000 people outside the city, if He Yi is really urgent, even if he can win, it will not be good for Liu Bi, so Liu Bi chose to temporarily appease He Yi, and now Huang Shao secretly came to vote, which is letting Liu Bi see the opportunity to annex He Yi, and with Huang Shao's situation, Liu Bi really can't think of any reason for him to continue to mix with He Yi, so for Huang Shao's surrender this time, Liu Bi is still very optimistic.
The next day, Liu Pi sent someone to take the opportunity of delivering food to make an appointment with Huang Shao again, and was even ready to hold a grand banquet for Huang Shao to show his courtesy and thirst for talent.
At the same time, Gong Du, who was stationed in Shangcai, was not interested in the little between Liu Bi and He Yi, and his eyes were attracted by another thing, the officers and troops stationed in Dingying suddenly withdrew, and the withdrawal was a little inexplicable, which made Gong Du a little confused.
However, after confirming that the official army was indeed withdrawn to Yanling, Gong Du was also relieved a lot, after all, the official army was on the side, even if the troops were not as strong as his own, Gong Du was also a little flustered, but this news was released by Ruyang, and Gong Du also specially sent someone to Dingying, and the official army in the city had indeed left cleanly.
Where the officers and soldiers went, Gong couldn't care, and now that the officers and troops have withdrawn, Dingying is his!
Gong Du had a smile on his face, his power should also be expanded, before Huangfu Song was in the Changshe, he was admonished, and he didn't go to help Bo Cai find trouble with Huang Fu Song, of course, Bo Cai didn't count on these teammates, now Huang Fu Song and Bo Cai are stiff in the Yangzhai area, Gong Du thinks that his territory should also be expanded, and it is not a matter to spend it here with Liu Bi, now that Liu Bi is being dragged down, he just takes advantage of this time to expand his territory.
Gong Du's side began to actively prepare for the expansion of the territory, and on Geling's side, after Liu Pi reached an agreement with Huang Shao, the agreed time soon came.
Outside Geling County, Wu Ba hurriedly walked into He Yi's big tent.
"Qu Shuai, there will be important news at the end!" In the big tent, He Yi was worried about where to get food recently, and when he saw Wu Ba coming in with a solemn face, his brows furrowed, and he was a little impatient.
"What's the news?" He Yi'an endured the irritability in his heart, after all, this Wu Ba is also a fierce general, and he is also a figure at the level of the Yellow Turban leader, so he is not good at picking people up directly.
"In the past two days, the last general found out that Huang Shao and the person sent by Liu Pi to deliver food had a very close relationship!" Wu Ba said in a deep voice.
"Huang Shao?" He Yi frowned when he heard this: "Do you know what he wants to do?" ”
"I don't know about that." Wu Ba shook his head, he just felt that Huang Shao's recent actions were a little suspicious, but what Huang Shao was talking to Liu Pi's people, how did he know.
"Qu Shuai, Huang Shao is asking to see you outside the tent." When He Yi was puzzled, he saw He Man enter with the curtain and arched his hand at He Yi.
"Huang Shao? He's just in time! He Yi already had suspicion in his heart, but Wu Ba on the side had already spoken: "Qu Shuai, why don't you let him in, confront him face to face, and ask clearly?" ”
Hearing this, He Yi nodded, sat behind the handsome case, and motioned to He Man to bring people in.
Soon, Huang Shao followed He Man in, and was stunned when he saw Wu Ba, and then bowed to He Yi and said, "Qu Shuai, the last general has already thought of a strategy to break the enemy!" ”
"Breaking the enemy?" When He Yi, He Man, and Wu Ba heard this, they looked at Huang Shao in confusion, and He Yi frowned and said, "Where did the enemy come from?" ”
Huang Shao raised his head, glanced at Wu Ba, bowed and said, "Liu Pi!" Now that Liu Pi is holding grain and grass in his hands, clamping down on Qu Shuai, and even sending people to buy people's hearts in the army, in the long run, our army will be in turmoil, it is better to wait for the opportunity to break the city, and take Ge Ling in his hands, so that he will not be controlled by others! ”
When He Yi heard this, he turned his head to look at Wu Ba, and an inquiring look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wu Ba hurriedly shouted at Huang Shao: "Hmph, Liu Bi bought people's hearts, has it been received from you?" Let me ask you, in the past few days, you have been close to the person sent by Liu Pi to deliver food, what is your intention!? ”
"It turns out that Qu Shuai already knows." When Huang Shao heard this, he looked at He Yi unhurriedly and smiled.
"So, you did conspire with that Liu Pi?" He Yi squinted at Huang Shao, and his hand was already unconsciously pressed towards the hilt of the sword.
"Not bad!" Huang Shao nodded and said: "Don't misunderstand Qu Shuai, I came to see Qu Shuai this time, and I came here for this matter." ”
"Oh?" He Yi looked at Huang Shao and stopped moving: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"I have secretly contacted that Liu Pi, deceived him, and agreed to lead his troops to surrender to him tonight, and Liu Bi didn't know what the plan was and gladly agreed." Huang Shao smiled and said: "Qu Shuai can be in my fifty elite, when Liu Pi opens the city, he will lead people to occupy the city gate, and Qu Shuai will lead the people to take the opportunity to enter the city, then Ge Ling can take it, why should he be subject to that Liu Pi at that time?" ”
"Would you be so kind?" When Wu Ba heard this, he looked at Huang Shao suspiciously.
"What do you mean? Don't forget, you and I can be the leader, all by Qu Shuai's cultivation, and now Qu Shuai is in trouble, we should share our worries for Qu Shuai! Huang Shao said when he heard this.
"Okay, Wu Ba is also well-intentioned, worried that you will be blinded by that Liu Pi." He Yi waved his hand, looked at He Man beside him and said: "He Man, you go and recruit my Yellow Turban Lux, and accompany Huang Zhao to surrender tonight, once the city gate is opened, immediately seize the city gate, and then take the sound of the arrow as the signal, I will lead the army to arrive as soon as possible." ”
"Whoa!" He Man nodded in agreement when he heard this, and went to prepare manpower.
"Why does Qu Shuai need to send the Yellow Turban Warriors, you need to know that these Yellow Turban Warriors are Qu Shuai's guards, responsible for the safety of Qu Shuai, and now that they are all transferred, who will protect Qu Shuai's safety?" Huang Shao frowned.
"It's okay!" He Yi laughed when he heard this: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers around me, who can harm me?" The stakes are high and must not be lost! ”
"Whoa!" Seeing that He Yi had made up his mind, everyone was not good at persuading him to do something tonight, everyone said goodbye and left, He Yi began to secretly invite the generals in the army to discuss tonight's raid, Huang Shao and He Man took fifty Yellow Turban wrestlers, and asked He Man and others to disguise themselves as ordinary Yellow Turban Army.
Huang Shao knew that He Yi still didn't trust him when he sent He Man to his side, but it didn't matter, from the beginning, Huang Shao's purpose was to help He Yi attack the city, as long as this goal was achieved, he could retire and go to the agreed place to find Ye Zhao to recover his life.
The night was dark and the wind was high, Huang Shao took He Man and others to the city of Geling quietly, lit the torch and shook it three times at the city, and then waited quietly in place.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that the city gate had not yet opened, He Man glared at Huang Shao with some impatience: "You won't be playing tricks on me, right?" ”
"Rest easy." Huang Shao scolded in a low voice, at this time, how could he reveal his flaws?
He Man's eyes widened, and he was about to speak, but he saw a torch sticking out of the city, and a person stood behind the female wall, shouting to the city: "Please let me see my face." ”
When Huang Shao heard this, he hurriedly shone the torch on his face, and after the people on the city wall confirmed Huang Shao's identity, they saw that the other party was not numerous, and immediately turned his head and said, "Open the door!" ”
"Crunch~"
The heavy city gate slowly opened under the impetus of several Yellow Turban soldiers, and Huang Shao glanced at He Man and whispered, "Don't do it yet?" ”
"Good!" Seeing that the city gate was half open, He Man ordered one person to fire the arrow, and he strode forward with the Yellow Turban Warrior, and took off the iron rod from behind, without waiting for the Yellow Turban soldier who opened the door at the city gate to react, the two sticks went down, and smashed the brains of the two Yellow Turban soldiers who had not yet understood what was happening.
Blood mixed with brains splashed on his body, He Man wiped his face, showed a hideous smile and said sharply: "Kill me in!" ”
After speaking, he took the lead and poured into the city gate with the Yellow Turban Warriors, and the two Yellow Turban soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to close the city gate, but they were bullied by the two Yellow Turban Warriors, and they didn't talk nonsense, and they killed the two of them with knives in their hands.
"Huh~"
An arrow burst through the air, a sharp whistling that tore through the silence of the night, and in the distance, in a place shrouded in darkness, torches continued to light up, like a flamboyant fire dragon surging towards the city gate.
The soldiers on the city wall have already discovered that something is wrong, the terrible sound of the horn is mixed with the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the scattered arrows began to shoot under the city wall, and at the same time awaken the Yellow Turban Army in the city, and a melee began in the night.
