Chapter 49: Surprise Attack on the City Gate

The embroidered "Yue" word was held high, and the scattered people and horses reluctantly lined up, and under the leadership of Xu Sheng, the king of Yue, they walked proudly towards the gate of Shanyin City.

After all, the Battle of Sanyin was not only a turning point in the fate of the newly established Dayue Dynasty, but also a glorious battle worthy of praise, and as the fundamental reason for all victories, Xu Sheng, the king of Yue, needed to stand up at this time and carry out a ceremony to enter the city to show his existence.

After entering the city, enjoying the praise from the general, Xu Sheng was also a little fluttering, drew his horsewhip, threw it forward casually, and said heroically: "Passing on the order of the widow, the armies tried their best to strangle the remaining thieves, as for the ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Sheng deliberately paused, and in the expectant eyes of the generals, he smiled, and said the unfinished words: "As for the future, the generals, please do as you like; However, the widow may say in advance that the property obtained in the city must be handed over fifty percent, and if there is any private possession, it will be dealt with by military law. ”

After getting the answer they wanted, all the generals were overjoyed, and replied in unison: "The ministers have thanked the king." ”

Xu He wanted to speak on the side, but in the end he didn't say anything, he knew what the king of Yue meant by "each according to his own will", since ancient times, "thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates", and the people in this city are afraid that they will suffer.

However, even if he wants to stop it, how can he stop it, except for the original Xu Mansion's family members who can be restrained a little, the other generals were tempted to temporarily unite under the banner of "Da Yue", at this time, let them not kill the people and loot money, just like let the tiger and wolf not eat meat, how is it possible? !

After comforting himself in his heart, Xu He forced himself not to look around, and pretended not to hear the strange laughter and the miserable voice of the woman that gradually sounded in his ears, he lowered his head and rode behind King Yue, as if he had not found anything.

"Prime Minister? Prime minister? ”

Xu He suddenly raised his head in shock, and saw King Yue looking at him sideways on horseback, frowning.

"Great King, Minister......"

"Don't say it, the widow understands, but he is moved by compassion?"

"King Mingjian."

"Alas!" King Yue sighed, turned around, and looked ahead: "The prime minister is still worried, why not the widow?" ”

"It's just that this Shanyin has resisted the king's division for many days, and the widows and widows have lost their soldiers and generals, and the soldiers have many grievances, so they must be punished; Second, after entering the city, instead of the catharsis of one or two days, it was also promised to them by the widow, how could they break their promises and gain weight? ”

"However, please rest assured, after the situation is stable, the widow will definitely put the three armies in order, and there is no precedent for this destruction of the city and plunder."

After speaking, King Yue took out his horsewhip and slapped the horse a few times in his crotch, and then the horse was urged to speed up his pace, but Xu He was stunned in place, looking at the back of his own king in the distance, for a while, I don't know what to say.

This man has read and read since he was a child, likes to imitate the behavior of the emperors of the past dynasties, and he privately thinks that he "has a bad brain, and he still doesn't know", but today he can say such insightful words, did he finally misunderstand him?

Xu He suddenly remembered the old things of Emperor Gaozu, before he raised the army, he was just a small pavilion chief, and he did some things like stealing chickens and dogs, eating and drinking, and the villagers were not ashamed of him; But once the world was in turmoil, it took advantage of the situation, fought in the south and the north, and swept the Central Plains, and it only took more than ten years to set the world and establish the Han Empire, which lasted for more than 400 years.

However, so that the ancestral dragon is not dead, or "to make the second to have a mediocre lord and be loyal and virtuous", then Emperor Gaozu is afraid that he will be despised and die in the position of pavilion chief, which is similar to the king!

"Orange is born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei, and it is orange", Yan Zi said. The husband is a hero and hero, who is not in the current situation, trapped in recklessness, so that it is difficult to do anything, and he dies namelessly, and is no longer known to future generations; However, if the wind and clouds suddenly gather, its dragon will take advantage of the fog, only in the middle of Russia.

Thinking about it carefully, except for the suspicion of delaying the military plane on the way north of the king's army into Sanyin, the rest of the time, there was nothing improper in the handling of military and political affairs.

Thinking of this, looking at the back of King Yue in the distance, Xu He suddenly felt that he suddenly became taller, and the grand blueprint with some self-deception and anesthesia that he had drawn in his heart before entering the city also had a little more inexplicable confidence out of thin air.

"Smack! Syllable! Xu He shook the horsewhip and whipped the horse's buttocks twice, the horse was frightened and accelerated, carrying Xu He to the back of the king of Yue to chase away, he had made up his mind, and after settling down in the county government tonight, he must talk with the king at night, and the plan of "gathering more and more to wait for the time" in his heart was brought together, just like the old things of Deng Yu and Emperor Guangwu.

……

A few miles away from Shanyin City, in the dense forests next to the official road, some heavy figures can be faintly seen, under a big tree, Liu Hong quietly listened to the scout's report, waited for his confession, waved his hand to let him retreat, and then turned his head to look at Jia Wei on his side, and asked, "Why does Gongyan think it is?" ”

Jia Wei frowned, he didn't say anything, and Liu Hong didn't urge, this situation is weird, it really can't tolerate a little sloppiness, so you have to think about it.

"Ming Gong, Wei thought that he could pretend to be an enemy army, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and break through the pass and capture the city!"

Liu Hong also frowned, he had also thought about this plan, but it was extremely risky, and the most important thing was that they didn't know anything about the situation in the city. ”

However, if you miss such a good opportunity, you will have to go back to Fangyan County in the face of the high wall of Shanyin City, and the situation will also be completely erosive; But if this is the thief army's "strategy to lure the enemy", the city will be trapped. The difficulty of making a choice made Liu Hong sigh: "Yang Bo'er misunderstood me, if Shanyin is not broken, I will not worry about it anymore!" ”

"Ming Gong!"

Liu Hong stretched out his hand and stopped Jia Wei, then stood up straight, his eyes were solemn: "The army of Xu Rebellion is mixed, there are few good families, there are many ruffians and people in the mountains, and its wild nature is difficult to train, and the mountain is broken, and it will be lewd and plundered, and it is reasonable to lose the city wall." ”

This is as if it were for Javi and for himself. Liu Hong is unwilling after all, Shanyin has arrived, but he returned in vain, how can he support his ambition with the work of defending the land.

Hearing this, Jia Wei was solemn, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Wei respectfully obeys the orders of Ming Gong!" He knows the risks involved, but "the one who is a confidant dies", Liu Hong treats him with kindness and righteousness, he repays him with his own life, life and death, how can he say it!

"Gonghiko, stay for now."

Jia Wei stopped and looked back, looked at Liu Hong with a resolute face, and asked, "What else does Ming Gong command?" ”

"I'll go with you!"

These powerful words surprised Jia Wei, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Ming Gong can't, Gong is the commander of the first army, how can this dangerous thing be done." ”

Liu Hong waved his hand and said resolutely: "Gongyan doesn't need to say much, I am determined!" If at this time, the 100,000 divisions of Hong, in order to please the barbarians and the Han rebellion, will never succeed in the courage of this horseman, but now there are only more than 1,000 people, success or failure depends on this trip, if you are committed to shrinking your head, Gou An rear, Gongyan does not think that I am the greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"This ......"

"Alright." Liu Hong stepped forward and patted Jia Wei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Gongyan quickly went to the army to recruit seventy or eighty soldiers who were good at fighting and fighting, changed into thief army clothes, and went to capture the city with the two of us." ”

"No, obey the order of the Ming Gong."

Seeing Jia Wei's departure, Liu Hong shook his head and walked to the place where the baggage troops were in the rear, and he was also going to change his clothes.

Two quarters of an hour later, seventy or eighty soldiers dressed in military uniforms approached the San'in city wall, and when they got closer, a head poked out of the city and shouted, "Stop! Which general's subordinate are you? ”

Looking at the head sticking out from the head of the city wall, Liu Hong glanced at the man beside him, his name is Li Hu, he is a local, and he speaks a pure nonsense, which was specially selected by Liu Hong for this action.

Li Hu got the hint, understood it, opened his voice and said loudly: "Brother, it's us, it's the king in front who sent out to sentry and reconnoiter the enemy situation in the rear, don't say it, there is not even a rabbit fur." ”

"Ugh." Then Li Hu sighed, showed an envious look and said, "Brother, you can rob the beauty." ”

As soon as the soldiers in the city heard this, a trace of doubt that had just flashed in their minds was instantly left behind, and they replied with infinite resonance in their hearts: "Who says no, they will bully us who come after us, saying that it is a shift change, and we will not see a person for a long time." ”

"yes, yes." Li Hu nodded in agreement, and followed the troops forward, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the city gate.

Everyone entered through the hidden city gate, and the lax defense inside really made Liu Hong stunned, he thought that even if he entered the city gate, there would be a vicious battle afterwards, but this was good, saving a lot of trouble.

Then Liu Hong and Jia Wei each led half of their elite soldiers to outflank them from the stone stairs on both sides of the inner city, and those soldiers guarding the city not only did not notice the strangeness of Liu Hong and Jia Wei's hurried manners, but instead showed happy expressions on their faces, thinking that the comrades who liberated them from prostitution and plunder had finally arrived, but before the words of joy could be spoken, they were sent to the netherworld by one sharp weapon after another.

When the two met in the middle of the north city wall, none of the soldiers were injured, and the two looked at each other and laughed to celebrate this thrilling operation; Then Liu Hong tore off the clothes of the Vietnamese army on his body, and Jia Wei put it on a spear that he carried on purpose, and then raised the spear and swung it vigorously, the clothes were in harmony with the cold wind, and the sound of hunting sounded.

Later, the scout, who had been watching from a distance, saw the secret sign of victory, and learned a wolf howl to the rear, and then heard two wolf howls in the distance one after another, and finally the army hiding in the forest came out of camp and marched quickly towards San'in.
