Shi Mao, the guerrilla general of Shangyuan City, received a report from his subordinates, saying that Liu Ji of Chengyin County came to the west gate of Shangyuan City with 5,000 cavalry, and Liu Ji was ready to bring all 5,000 cavalry into Shangyuan City to receive the order.

Shi Mao was overjoyed when he heard it, after all, he had prepared a trap in Shangyuan City, and he was waiting for Liu Ji to jump inside, and now Liu Ji finally came.

However, hearing that Liu Ji brought five thousand cavalry and was about to lead troops into the city, Shi Mao's brows couldn't help frowning, five thousand cavalry is definitely a formidable force for Shangyuan City, you must know that Shi Mao has been buying and robbing for several years, and finally got more than 700 war horses and formed a cavalry team of seven hundred people, which was regarded by Shi Mao as his own heart, and would never be used under normal circumstances.

After all, in recent years, the steppe nomads have an absolute advantage over the Great Jin, and the border army of the four states can only passively defend, and the cavalry troops of the border army are fighting less and less, and the border troops of the cities cannot be like Liu Ji, who can capture a large number of war horses through victory and supplement the losses of the battle.

The seven hundred cavalry is not small compared to the cavalry units of the border army in other cities in the four northern states of the Great Jin Dynasty, but compared with the cavalry troops under Liu Ji, the number is far behind.

If the 5,000 cavalry led by Liu Ji is blocked outside Shangyuan City, it is fine, if these 5,000 cavalry enter Shangyuan City, then the 5,000 cavalry can defeat more than 10,000 people under Shi Mao's command, and then Shangyuan City will not be surnamed Shi but Liu.

Shi Mao immediately led people to the west gate of Shangyuan City, after boarding the city wall, looking at the cavalry outside the city with five thousand fully armed, each equipped with two war horses, Shi Mao felt shocked at the same time, his eyes couldn't help showing a hint of fanaticism, as long as his plan can succeed, then the elite cavalry outside the city can be owned by himself, and according to reliable information, there are more than 100,000 cavalry troops under Liu Ji's command, hundreds of thousands of war horses, and 80,000 or 90,000 infantry.

If these are all owned by themselves, then they will have more than 100,000 elite cavalry and almost 100,000 infantry, and even the Hu people on the grassland will not easily provoke themselves at that time, and they can even rely on the powerful army in their hands to slowly encroach on the four northern states of the Great Jin, and when the four northern states are controlled, they can continue to advance their forces into the hinterland of the Great Jin, and take the remaining twenty states of the Great Jin into their pockets little by little, and then they can ......

"General, Lord Taishou has spread the word that it is up to you, General, to decide whether Liu Ji will bring troops into the city or not." One of Shi Mao's generals walked up to Shi Mao and prayed to him, interrupting Shi Mao's daydream.

In addition to Shi Mao, a guerrilla general, there are three partial generals in Shangyuan City, all of whom belong to Shi Mao, the name of the partial general who spoke is Shi Ming, who is Shi Mao's cousin, and can be regarded as Shi Mao's henchmen, and the other two partial generals are Wan Ce and Ding Lin, who are also Shi Mao's henchmen.

Shi Mao looked at Liu Ji in front of the five thousand cavalry outside the city, pondered for a moment and said to Shi Ming: "Let people shout outside the city, Lord Taishou ordered General Liu Ji to lead five hundred cavalry into the city to receive the order, and the rest of the cavalry soldiers are waiting outside the city." ”

When Shi Ming heard this, he lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, we are going to make a move on Liu Ji in the city, and let him bring five hundred cavalry into the city, won't it add trouble to ourselves?" ”

"If Liu Ji is not allowed to bring some cavalry into the city, he will inevitably have suspicions, if he turns his head and leaves directly, all our arrangements will be in vain, let Liu Ji enter the city with five hundred cavalry, Liu Ji should be able to accept it, and we have more than 10,000 soldiers in Shangyuan City, no matter how powerful the five hundred cavalry is, they can't protect Liu Ji, not to mention that we still have seven hundred cavalry in our hands."

Then a military marquis on the city wall shouted to Zhang Qi, a staff member of the Taishou Mansion under the West City Gate: "Lord Taishou has issued an order, let General Liu Ji lead 500 troops into the city to receive the order, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will stay outside the city for the time being!" ”

Zhang Qi, who had been waiting for a reply from the city under the West City Gate, heard the shouting from above the city wall, and then turned his horse back to Liu Ji's side, "General Liu, Lord Taishou let ......"

"Mr. Zhang, General Ben has heard it very clearly, Lord Taishou asked General Ben to lead five hundred cavalry into the city to receive the order." After Liu Ji finished speaking, his eyes looked at Li Wenzhong, He Ruobi, Li Xin and Meng Wu, wanting to hear their opinions.

Li Wenzhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, it's best to bring all the five thousand cavalry into Shangyuan City in case something unexpected happens." ”

He Ruobi frowned and said: "What does Shangyuan City mean by this, the lord came to Shangyuan City just to receive orders, how can Shangyuan City be so wary of the lord?" If we really want to occupy Shangyuan City, with the defenders of Shangyuan City, can we stop it? ”

Li Xin followed and said: "Lord, why don't you let Li Xin bring five hundred cavalry into the city, and help the lord take the documents of the military department and the gold rewarded by the imperial court out of Shangyuan City?" ”

Meng Wu also said: "Lord, five hundred cavalry is too few, it is difficult to protect the lord, we are just here to receive the order, take the military documents and the one hundred taels of gold rewarded by the imperial court and leave, Shangyuan City does not let us five thousand cavalry enter the city, then we can send the military documents and the gold rewarded by the imperial court out of the city, we will return to Chengyin County immediately after receiving the order outside the city, and Lord Taishou will not need to worry that we will be unfavorable to Shangyuan City." ”

Li Wenzhong, He Ruobi, Li Xin and Meng Wu did not agree that Liu Ji only led 500 cavalry into Shangyuan City, after all, Shangyuan City is someone else's place, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Zhang Qi, a staff member of the Taishou Mansion, hurriedly persuaded Liu Ji at this time: "General Liu, Lord Taishou does not have any ill will towards the general, but there are many people in Shangyuan City, and the garrison of Shangyuan City is stationed in the barracks, if the five thousand cavalry under General Liu enters the city, it is really a little crowded, and Shangyuan City has always been on guard against the Hu people, even if some Hu spies are mixed in the city, the number will not be too much, there are five hundred cavalry around General Liu, absolutely foolproof, not to mention that there are also the defenders of Shangyuan City." ”

Liu Ji secretly said in his heart: In fact, what he is most worried about is the defenders of Shangyuan City.

However, Liu Ji looked at Dian Wei, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong beside him, hesitated for a moment and then nodded to Zhang Qi and said, "Okay then!" The general led 500 cavalry into the city to receive the order, while the other 4,500 cavalry stayed outside the city and waited. ”

Liu Ji felt that with the three top generals Dian Wei, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong acting as his personal bodyguards, even if the defenders of Shangyuan City made any moths, he could not be in any danger, and he could even let the defenders of Shangyuan City reap the consequences.
