Hearing that Liu Ji agreed to lead five hundred cavalry into the city, Li Wenzhong, He Ruobi, Li Xin and Meng Wu all frowned, and Li Wenzhong immediately urged the horse to come to Liu Ji's side and whispered a few words in Liu Ji's ear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Ji couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and then nodded slowly, and then the corners of Liu Ji's mouth curled slightly.

Zhang Qi, a staff member of the Taishou Mansion, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Ji agreed to lead only five hundred cavalry into the city, it seemed that his mission was completed, and then Zhang Qi urged the horse to come to the west city gate and shouted to the defenders on the city wall: "General Liu agreed to lead only five hundred cavalry into the city to receive the order, you quickly open the city gate!" ”

Shi Mao, who was standing on the city wall, was also relieved when he heard that Liu Ji agreed to bring only five hundred cavalry into the city, Shi Mao firmly believed that only five hundred cavalry was definitely not a problem for his army in Shangyuan City, and only when Liu Ji entered Shangyuan City, he would be able to catch turtles in the urn and capture Liu Ji alive.

Shi Mao then hurriedly asked several generals around him to arrange in the city as planned, but because Liu Ji had five hundred more cavalry around him, Shi Mao mobilized more soldiers and horses than planned.

Liu Ji then took Dian Wei, Chen Hao, Chen Zhong, Li Wenzhong, He Ruobi, and 500 cavalry to the west gate of Shangyuan City, while Li Xin and Meng Wu took the remaining 4,500 cavalry and stopped about a mile away from the city gate.

The west gate of Shangyuan City was immediately opened, and the general Ding Lin was ordered by Shi Mao to take more than 400 foot soldiers to welcome Liu Ji into the city at the west city gate, and monitor the number of cavalry that Liu Ji brought into the city.

Liu Ji saw that the city gate was open, but he didn't move, Dian Wei, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong didn't move, but Li Wenzhong and He Ruobi behind Liu Ji saw the city gate open, and immediately led five hundred cavalry to rush directly to the city gate.

"Hey-hey-what are you doing here? I am Ding Lin, a partial general, and I was ordered by General Shi to welcome General Liu into the city, which one is General Liu? Stop! ”

It turned out that Li Wenzhong and He Ruobi led 500 cavalry, and as soon as they entered the city gate, they immediately pushed the soldiers in charge of opening the city gate to the side and directly controlled the city gate.

The more than 400 foot soldiers led by the partial general Ding Lin were also forced to retreat again and again, and directly gave up the city gate, facing 500 heavily armed cavalry, Ding Lin did not dare to fight hard with more than 400 infantry.

Shi Mao also discovered the abnormality of the city gate on the city wall, and just wanted to send troops to support the city gate, the 4,500 cavalry under Liu Ji outside the city suddenly moved, and under the leadership of Li Xin and Meng Wu, they rode straight to the west gate of Shangyuan City.

It turned out that what Li Wenzhong said in Liu Ji's ear just now was to let Liu Ji lead five hundred cavalry to suddenly control the west gate of Shangyuan City when he entered the city, and then let the remaining four thousand five hundred cavalry take advantage of the situation to enter the city together.

Li Wenzhong said to Liu Ji that no matter what reason Shangyuan City had, it would be a little strange not to let Liu Ji enter the city with 5,000 cavalry, and Liu Ji would not enter a city that he did not know whether he was a friend or an enemy for the sake of a guerrilla general's false name and a mere hundred taels of gold.

Although there are three top generals around him, Dian Wei, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong, it is better to avoid danger and avoid it, so Liu Ji adopted Li Wenzhong's strategy, and finally 5,000 cavalry entered Shangyuan City.

Shi Ming, the partial general on the city wall, saw that the other 4,500 cavalry under Liu Ji also rushed to the open west city gate, and said to Shi Mao urgently: "Big brother, this Liu Ji is not trustworthy, let the archers release their arrows!" I'll take the gates back! ”

Shi Mao's face turned blue at this time, and he was angry at Liu Ji's untrustworthy behavior, but Shi Mao was not carried away by anger, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't act rashly, it's too late now, hurry up and send someone to inform you, the action in the city is temporarily canceled, without my order, you must not do it!" ”

"Big brother, we've been preparing for so long, can't we just let Liu Ji go?"

"I didn't expect this Liu Ji to be so cautious and cunning that he would dare to seize the city gate without any scruples and put the remaining 4,500 cavalry into the city! There are 5,000 cavalry in Shangyuan City, we can't help Liu Ji at all, if we act rashly, not only can we not capture Liu Ji alive, but my Shi Mao's foundation in Shangyuan City will be ruined if it is not done well. ”

Shi Mao then slapped the battlements of the city wall fiercely, and said in a cold voice: "It seems that Liu Ji can only be let go once this time, but the coming day is long, and when there is an opportunity in the future, this Liu Ji will never turn over!" ”

Zhang Qi, a staff member of the Taishou Mansion, looked at the five hundred cavalry under Liu Ji in a daze, and seized control of the west gate of Shangyuan City with lightning speed, and then the remaining 4,500 cavalry outside the city rushed into the city, and couldn't help but stumble and said to Liu Ji: "Liu ...... General Liu, what are you...... Why is that? Didn't you promise...... Did you promise to bring 500 cavalry into the city to receive the order? ”

At this time, Li Wenzhong said loudly: "Please forgive the lord, my subordinates are worried about the safety of the lord, so they let the brothers temporarily control the city gate, and welcome the remaining 4,500 brothers outside the city into Shangyuan City, Wenzhong is willing to be punished." ”

Liu Ji pretended to be and said: "Wen Zhong, it's not right for you to do this, this general has promised to bring only five hundred cavalry into the city, you do this, don't you let the lord talk and not count!" But you're also worried about the safety of General Ben, and it's understandable to do so, forget it this time, you can't make your own decisions next time! ”

"Yes, lord, Wen Zhong will not make decisions in the future!"

Liu Ji immediately smiled and said to Zhang Qi: "Mr. Zhang is really embarrassed, his subordinates are in charge of their own affairs, so they made it like this, but since the five thousand cavalry have entered Shangyuan City, General Ben will not let them go out of the city and wait, General Ben quickly went to Taishou Mansion to see Lord Taishou, took the military documents and the gold rewarded by the imperial court, and then led the troops to leave Shangyuan City as soon as possible to avoid adding to the panic of the soldiers and civilians in the city." ”

Shameless! It's so shameless! It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open! Let the cavalry control the action of the city gate, obviously Liu Ji knew it before, and now Liu Ji has put all the responsibility on his subordinates, but Zhang Qi can only shake his head helplessly, five thousand cavalry have entered Shangyuan City, and there is no point in saying anything.

"Alas, in that case, please General Liu restrain the soldiers under your command, don't harass the people in the city, and the lower officials will take General Liu to the Taishou Mansion immediately."

"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, the military discipline of the army under the command of General Ben is still good, and the military law is ruthless, but anyone who dares to harass the people, no matter who it is, General Ben will definitely not spare it!"
