Dark night, no moon!
Mutter! Mutter! Mutter!
At this time, it was already the end of the third watch, when people were the most tired, although the soldiers defending the city were holding torches and staring at the little movements under the city, there were inevitably some sergeants who couldn't hold on to their eyelids and were fighting.
Crash! Crash!
Walking around, the crispness of the impact of the armor kept swinging, causing the sedging sergeant who was napping to suddenly widen his eyes.
"Hmmm! Not bad! The lives of tens of thousands of people in the city are in your hands, so you can't relax your vigilance at any time, Yuan Xi's thief is very cunning, and night attacks are also his best tricks! ”
Zhang He strode over, inspecting whether the guards were lazy, this was the only position he was appointed after he defected to Liu Bei, patrolling the city!
Since he became the general of the city, Zhang He has fulfilled his duties, and he must come to inspect almost every hour, sometimes raiding several times from time to time, as long as he catches the person who steals and cheats, and takes the opportunity to nap and sleep, it is indispensable to be beaten.
Although the military discipline is stricter, and the soldiers are more conscientious in their duties, it undoubtedly makes the soldiers who defend the city hate Zhang He even more, although they are respectful on the surface, but they don't know how many times they scolded Zhang He behind their backs.
"Hey, hey! General Zhang, you're here! ”
"General Zhang!"
"General!"
Zhang He greeted all the way and went around the city.
"Whew! What is it! ”
"Isn't he just a general who patrols the city, and he really thinks of himself as an official!"
"Rausch! Why didn't you let Yuan Thief kill him! ”
"It's okay if the thieves are tired from fighting these days, and they still have to guard the city gate at night? Forget about guarding the city gate at night, and meet such an iron-masked general! The three generals were occasionally angry. But it won't be like him, it's outrageous! ”
Zhang He paused, coughed deliberately, and the soldiers defending the city stopped sighing, and he continued to patrol the city.
In fact, how could Zhang He not know the gossip behind this. He just turned a blind eye, and he didn't have such a small measure when he was dealing with a group of small soldiers.
At the northern corner of the city wall!
Mutter! Mutter! Mutter!
Another strange bird call.
Originally, the guards in the north of the city thought that these bird calls were particularly weird, but they were like this for several days, and the soldiers defending the city were already accustomed to it!
Zhang He patrolled the city here, shook his head and looked out of the city. It's pitch black, only the sound of birds is endless!
"Huzi!"
"The last general!"
"Go! Fetch me some bread down into the city, I'm hungry!" ”
"Pie??? Huzi was a little excited, and hurriedly agreed: "No! ”
Then he turned and went down to the city.
looked at the back of Huzi turning around and going down to the city. The smile on Zhang He's face stopped abruptly, and he suddenly took out an inch-long hidden weapon from his arms, and a silk letter was inserted on the hidden weapon, and he threw it out of the city.
I only heard the sound of the bird spreading its wings touching the branches in the woods, and I couldn't see the existence of the bird at all, and then the strange bird call was gone!
After a while, Huzi rushed back from the city, carrying two large cakes in his hands. excitedly handed it to Zhang He, and Zhang He also habitually handed him a big cake, and said kindly: "Defend the city well!" ”
Huzi grinned. Excitedly: "Thank you, General!" ”
Possible! Among the entire garrison sergeants, the only one who had a good impression of Zhang He was this man named Huzi!
************************
"Young marshal! General Zhang He has a secret letter coming. ”
In the military tent, there was no candle light, it was pitch black, and through the thick military tent, a voice quietly came in. woke up Yuan Xi in his sleep.
Yuan Xi sat up and did not light the lamp. said indifferently: "Very good!" Come on in. ”
In the dark, I couldn't see the man's face clearly. He just took out the silk letter and presented it to Yuan Xi from his arms, and then quietly said goodbye, and there was no second sentence from beginning to end.
After making sure that the man was gone, Yuan Xi personally took the lamp, unfolded the silk letter, and immediately rejoiced, and then burned the silk letter with a candle, then extinguished the candle flame again and went back to sleep.
In the letter, Zhang He explained that he had fully gained Liu Bei's trust at this time, and successfully served as the city patrol, although he did not have the right to transfer troops and send generals, but it was enough to cooperate with Yuan Xi to open the city gate.
In his sleep, Yuan Xi had already drawn up a plan, and seemed to have seen the state after the victory, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Xi still stormed Picheng for several hours as usual, but this time the strength was obviously much weaker, not like a strong attack, but like a feint.
During the battle, Zhang He stood on top of the city, bravely killing the enemy, like a god-like existence, but those eyes never left the blue and red order flag under the city, and every action represented a meaning.
In short: tonight, the east gate of the city will be raided!
Zhang He pursed his lips and smiled, and immediately understood.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At three o'clock, Yuan Xi's camp beat drums and gathered generals!
Yuan Xi sat on the head, a pair of sword eyebrows rushed straight to the sky, and announced: "Tonight, raid the East City Gate!" ”
There was an uproar in the tent, and many soldiers whispered.
"Another night raid?"
"The East City Gate is not easy to fight, and the general guarding the city is the guy who makes the spear."
"yes, yes! The frenzied attacks of the past few days have made it impossible for the brothers to fight anymore, and tonight they are going to attack at night again! ”
"Alas! Isn't it, basically we attack every two days at night, but which one succeeded? It's a failure every time! ”
"Does the young marshal want us all to be buried in this moat?"
At this time, a person flashed out of the tent, and regarded it as Zhen Yu, the boss of the Zhen family, Zhen Yu arched his hand and said, "Second son!" Recently, our army has been fighting for days and days, and the soldiers are exhausted and in urgent need of rest, and they can no longer fight.
Zhen Yu paused, and finally said: "I still hope that the second son will think twice." ”
Yuan Xi's eyes were like torches, snapped, struck the case with his palm, and angrily reprimanded: "Think twice before acting!?" Ben Shuai is well thought out, and tonight is the only fighter! ”
Zhen Yu admonished again: "But! The soldiers are tired and tight"
Before the words were finished, Yuan Xi became even more angry and reprimanded: "The big-eared thief is more tired than you, more tired than you!" Now it is up to us to see who can survive to the end, and only those who survive to the end are the real winners. ”
Zhen Yu was also a little angry, and said loudly: "The night attack couldn't be successful a few days ago, will it succeed tonight?" The second son is like this, he doesn't take the lives of the soldiers seriously! ”
"Yo he! It's still going on! ”
Yuan Xi stared at Zhen Yu with wide eyes, and immediately looked around at the Chinese martial arts, and said sharply: "Tell you the truth!" Zhang He's refuge in the big-eared thief is Ben Shuai's strategy, at this time Zhang He has been completely trusted by Liu Bei, and successfully served as a city patrol, just last night, he took advantage of his position to give Ben Shuai a secret letter! ”
There was another uproar in the tent.
"I see!"
"I also think that General Zhang He can't rebel, it turned out to be the young marshal's strategy!"
For a while, the generals in the tent shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the young marshal, but the young marshal is the first to look forward, born and die, and there is nothing to fear!" ”
At this time, Zhen Yu knew that he could no longer stop Yuan Xi from attacking Xiapi at night, but at least he was still worried, he didn't believe Zhang He, nor did he not believe Yuan Xi, but he didn't believe Liu Bei!
He didn't believe in Liu Bei who was so shrewd, and even Cao Cao couldn't defeat Liu Bei! It was so easy to be deceived, and I didn't believe that Zhang He would be entrusted with such an important position.
Zhen Yu felt that this was a trap, this was a huge trap!
"Second son! That Zhang He was originally a general under the command of the eldest prince, and he has temporarily surrendered to you! Since Zhang He can betray the eldest son, how can he not betray the second son? ”
Yuan Xi hesitated a little in his heart, although Zhen Yu was annoying, but there was some truth in what he said, and he didn't have a good impression of this eldest brother Yuan Tan, so he naturally began to suspect Zhang He's head.
Zhen Yu saw Yuan Xi's hesitation, filled the fire again, and said, "Even if we break the city gate, can the second prince guarantee that we can take this Picheng?"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yunchen, Gao Feng, Hao Zhao, these people are all capable, although the troops in their hands are insufficient, but everyone is a hundred elite soldiers, this is by no means comparable to our soldiers! ”
"But"
Yuan Xi hesitated slightly, frowned, and said: "Zhang Hezhi is loyal and pure, he is definitely not a traitor seeking glory, if he doesn't see us and others leading the army to kill tonight, wouldn't it chill Zhang He's heart, and besides, he was personally sent by me." ”
Zhen Yu showed a secret smile and said: "In this case, it is better for the lord to order a general to lead the army first and cooperate with Zhang He to enter the city, while he secretly leads another army and horses to ambush outside the city." If there is really no change, give up; If it is really a trap, then this ambush has become a lifesaver. ”
"Good is good!"
Yuan Xi was immersed, thought for a while, and said, "It's just that Zhang He can't see me in person, how can he open the city gate for the army!" After all, this plan was drawn up by me and him, and I ordered that no one else should open the gates of the city unless I did. ”
How could Yuan Xi, who was so wise, give such an order? The reason is very simple, because he wants to snatch the first credit for attacking Xuzhou, not let the three brothers of the Zhen family seize it!
Yuan Xi immediately decided: "That's it!" Ben Shuai personally led the army into the city, and Brother Zhen, you led the army to meet outside the city, what is it? ”
Zhen Yu was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to agree: "Okay! ”
Yuan Xi showed a smile, maybe this time was the best cooperation between him and the three brothers of the Zhen family, and even the title given to Zhen Yu had changed, becoming Brother Zhen!
As soon as the conversation changed, Zhen Yu said again: "But! I must let my second brother enter the city with my second son, and I must not be separated for a moment! ”
Yuan Xi immediately agreed.
Although this Zhen Yan is not as brave as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, he still has enough deterrent power compared to Gao Feng and Hao Zhao's disciples, and it will undoubtedly be safer to take him with him
