Chapter 405: Secret Strategy

"The governor asks to temporarily calm the wrath of the thunder, General Zheng is also anxious for a while, so he does not choose what to say, and please ask the general to see that it is the time to employ people, suspend the execution, and wait until we take Runzhou City, it is not too late to carry out the execution."

At the critical moment, Xue Zhongzhang walked out and persuaded him.

"You......... Hmph, okay, since the right Sima has pleaded for you, the governor of Pontus will let you go this time, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, from tomorrow, you will lead the people of this class to attack Runzhou City, and it will be okay if you can take it, if you can't take it, the two crimes will be punished together, what will be the consequences, so you don't need to say more about it! ”

Xu Jingye also realized that he was a little too impatient in this matter at this time, you know, people who are soldiers in this era are a little bloody, to that kind of lupine scarf, let alone a general, I'm afraid that even the military camp can't enter, if these people are really urgent, they encourage their subordinates to make trouble openly, or defect from the battle, it is also a common thing, if that situation really occurs, it will be a huge blow to Xu Jingye and the entire Xu army.

After Xu Jingye realized his mistake, the gathering of the big tent was quickly dissolved, leaving only a few hardcore henchmen such as Li Zongchen on the left and Xue Zhongzhang on the right.

"Zhong Zhang, thanks to your prompt reminder just now, otherwise, I would have almost made a big mistake." After waiting until he was left with his henchmen, Xu Jingye let out a breath of turbid air and thanked Xue Zhongzhang.

"The governor of the capital has a reputation, for the general to check and fill in the gaps, it was originally a certain duty, not to be thanked by the general, but we should really think about what to do, if this Runzhou is sent by the convention, I am afraid that there will be no three or two months, or even half a year will not be able to take it, and what we lack most now is time, Li Xiaoyi's 300,000 army in the north, within a month, will be pressed to the other side of the Huai River, with the tens of thousands of horses left in Yangzhou, the city is barely improvised, if you want to hold the Huai River, It was impossible not to let the Don army cross the river. Xue Zhongzhang said with a frown.

"Yes, this is also the reason why it is really difficult to sleep and eat, seeing that a strong enemy is coming, but there is no way to pull out this nail in front of him, it is really a nest, you all say, what should we do, no matter what, this Runzhou must be pulled out, otherwise, when we go north to meet Li Xiaoyi's army, this Runzhou is a acne, no one knows when he will have a seizure, but as long as he has a seizure, it will bring us great pressure, and maybe it is also an important reason for our failure." Xu Jingye also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that this matter has returned to the original point, everyone in the big tent couldn't help but be silent for a while.

"In fact, the so-called siege of the city, when the heart of the attack is the top, the famous generals throughout the ages, all of them are full of wisdom, no one will fight hard with the enemy, can we make a fuss on this point."

A voice sounded a little abruptly, it was none other than Zuo Sima Li Zongchen.

Speaking of which, Li Zongchen can also be regarded as the son of the Li Tang royal family, but after Li Zongchen's generation, the relationship is a little sparse, after adding Wu Meiniang to power, he intends to suppress the children of the Li family, Li Zongchen's life is getting more and more difficult, in desperation, it happens that he and Xu Jingye are friends, after hearing that Xu Jingye intends to raise troops to rebel against Wu Meiniang, he was immediately moved, so he got on Xu Jingye's thief ship, and Xu Jingye also treated him very favorably, and rebelled against him to be Sima for Xu Jun, which is also a high authority in Xu Jun.

"Oh, what is the plan of the sect minister, tell me quickly." Hearing Li Zongchen's words, Xu Jingye's eyes widened, and he asked with excitement on his face.

Not only Xu Jingye, Xue Zhongzhang, but also several other people also looked at Li Zongchen curiously.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Zongchen felt a sense of pride in his heart, pondered for a while, and after sorting out his thoughts roughly, he said, "Actually, since our army's attack on Runzhou was blocked, a certain has been thinking about countermeasures, and after thinking about it these days, he finally has an idea........

Under Li Zongchen's explanation, everyone quickly understood Li Zongchen's thoughts, in fact, it was simple to say, Li Zongchen meant that since he couldn't take Runzhou for a while, it was better to withdraw immediately, and after he withdrew, Runzhou must have thought that he couldn't attack for a long time, and he had turned to other places, and when the time came, Runzhou's city defense would definitely be relaxed, and then, they were sending a small group of elites to take the opportunity to seize the gate of Runzhou City, and the army was killing a horse gun and taking Runzhou City in one fell swoop.

"This .........."

As soon as Li Zongchen's plan came out, the big tent fell silent for a while, not that Li Zongchen's idea was too unbelievable, on the contrary, Li Zongchen's idea was extremely feasible at present, and the reason why the people in the big tent were speechless was mainly thinking about the strength of the specific action of this method, after all, no matter how good the plan is, it also needs people to do it, and there is no suitable person for action, even if the plan is good, there is no possibility of success.

"Well, do you think this plan is feasible?" Looking at the silent crowd, Xu Jingye asked.

"It's feasible, it's feasible, but it's too risky, Li Gongzhi's policies are interlocking, if it's really implemented seriously, it won't be a problem to take Runzhou City, the only thing to worry about is whether each link in it can be perfectly linked, in case one can't be connected, it will be a loss." Xue Zhongzhang said cautiously.

"So this plan is indeed feasible, since this is the case, before there is no better plan, we only have this way, the so-called success is in the people, the plan is in the sky, I don't believe that this God is really partial to the demon woman." Xu Jingye slammed his fist on the case and made the final decision.

..............................

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was a dead silence in the city of Runzhou, except for the footsteps of patrol soldiers who shuttled through the streets and alleys from time to time, there was no other sound.

"Dada........."

Suddenly, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded in the city, and they hurried all the way to a halt outside a large mansion in the city, and then, without waiting for the horses to stop, the knight on the horse leaped down from his horse and made his way to the mansion.

This mansion was originally the residence of a family in Runzhou, and when Xu Jingye's army came, in order to escape the war, the family moved to Suzhou, and this mansion was also used as Duan Jian's residence in Runzhou.

"Qi Qi Langjun, just received the news from the spies outside the city, in the middle of the night, there was a riot in the Xu army camp, at first he thought that something happened to the Xu army, but this kind of riot lasted

It continued for half the night, and did not stop until dawn, and then, he saw that the Xu army actually abandoned the camp and withdrew. ”

During this time, in order to monitor Xu Jingye's army, Duan Jian asked Le Buping to send spies to stay outside the city, observing the movements of Xu Jun day and night, and tonight, the spies finally had news, and it was still an earth-shattering news, so that Le Buping had to wake up Duan Jian in the middle of the night.

Hearing Le Buping's announcement, Duan Jian's face frowned, but he didn't have any worries, but opened his mouth and ordered, "This must be Xu Jingye and others' delaying tactics, Xu Jingye did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to go north, so as to go south to Runzhou, the purpose is to take Runzhou, a strategic place, so that he can attack and retreat, so, no matter what, he will never give up this Runzhou City, I want to see, at this time, they withdraw their troops, the purpose must be to paralyze us, so you must send more manpower to follow the Xu army day and night, In any case, we must find out the movements of the Xu army, and even if all the news they have is passed back, it will be up to them to make meritorious contributions in Runzhou in one fell swoop. ”

"Subordinates receive orders."

For Duan Jian's orders, Le Buping had no complaints, and directly took orders.

Seeing that Le Buping hurriedly retreated, Duan Jian walked slowly to the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his heart was chaotic, and he didn't feel sleepy for a while.

...................................

Three days later, the original sword and sword shadow murderous, corpses all over the outside of Runzhou City, has changed greatly, as close to the Yangtze River and the canal of the traffic artery, in ancient times, especially when the land transport capacity is underground, the convenience of the waterway also means that the flow of people is huge, although Runzhou has just ceased war, but many businessmen who are eager to make money have taken the risk to Runzhou City.

And Runzhou City also seemed to have forgotten the tragic battle three days ago, opening the city gate widely, welcoming all the flow of people, even the soldiers guarding the city gate also seemed extremely excited, after all, with the exchange of merchants, they can also get some benefits from it.

"Chief Duan, are you sure that Xu Jingye's dog thief will definitely send people into the city, and it will not be possible to sneak attack us."

At the head of Runzhou City, Duan Jian and Li Siwen, the assassin of Runzhou, looked at the lively scene of people coming and going in the city, not only did not have the slightest happy expression, but asked with a solemn face.

"Hahaha, although Li Yuanjun is relieved, he doesn't dare to guarantee anything else, but this, he can use a head to vouch for you, think about it, why did Xu Jingye give up the opportunity to go north to attack Luoyang City, but wanted to take Runzhou with all his heart, not with Runzhou, a strategic place, Xu Jingye can not only get the rich money and grain in Jiangnan and Jinling, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, but even have a stable rear, so as to fight with the imperial army?

With such good conditions, how could he be willing to give up, besides, it's not that he is reluctant to give up, but he must get it, otherwise, without Runzhou, he won't have enough confidence to confront the imperial court.

But if you want to take Runzhou City, it is very unrealistic to rely on a strong attack, with the natural danger of Runzhou City, not to mention that they attack for ten days and half a month, even if it is half a year, ten months may not be able to take it, at this time he can only find another way.

The method is very simple, it doesn't work clearly, you can only come to the dark, their army withdrawal is the first step, in order to paralyze us, so that we really think that they are far away, in fact, they did not go far, and they are waiting not far away, as long as the elite troops in the vanguard enter the city, they will kill again, at this time, with the vanguard troops entering the city, they can open the city gate by surprise and rush in. Duan Jian said with a smile.

Hearing Duan Jian's analysis, Li Siwen's face was hideous, and he sighed for a while, "Hey, this evil obstacle is so talented, but he doesn't know how to be loyal to the country, but he has become a traitor, and I don't know if the old prince knows, how to look down under Jiuquan, forget it, since Chief Duan has already understood the movements of the enemy army, then the traitors in this city will be handed over to Chief Duan." ”

"Although Li Yuanjun can rest assured, he will definitely not let a little mouse escape." Duan Jian said respectfully.

................................

"General, the brothers have all mixed in, three hundred people are not a lot, you see when we will start, the brothers can't wait for a long time, when the time comes, we must cut off the heads of the two dog thieves and come to the blood sacrifice of the brothers."

In the city of Runzhou, in the backyard of a huge hotel, hundreds of men in various clothes gathered here.

Because Runzhou City is a traffic artery, many businessmen choose to rest and rest here, so inns and the like are the most, not only many, but also not small, it is still very easy to accommodate a hundred or ten people, and Xu Jingyou and the three hundred Xu army elites who quietly sneaked into the city this time chose to gather here.

Xu Jingyou is no one else, it is Xu Jingyou's younger brother, like Xu Jingye, Xu Jingyou, who has been taught by his family since he was a child, is also a general, the reason why he is a general is that Xu Jingyou is not only familiar with military books and can lead soldiers to fight, but also has divine power, and he also has good military force on the battlefield.

In history, it is precisely because of the existence of Xu Jingyou that Xu Jingye blocked Li Xiaoyi's crazy attack, otherwise, let alone forty days, I am afraid that Xu Jingye will not be able to hold on for even ten days.

And now, because Xu Jingyou is too young and not yet recognized by everyone, he should not have led the plan to infiltrate the city this time, but under his various pleas, Xu Jingye still agreed to let him lead the way into the city.

Hearing the man's inquiry, Xu Jingyou's face sank, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, bastard thing, don't look at what kind of place this is, shouting and shouting and killing all day long, do you really think that Tang Jun is all set up, tell you, these days you are all honest to a certain person, who dares to act recklessly, let us leak our identity, so that the action falls short, don't blame the sharpness of the sword, now, everyone goes back to rest, when to act, a certain will tell you." ”

After a reprimand, everyone returned to their respective residences, leaving only Xu Jingyou and a few henchmen, after a simple change of clothes, Xu Jingyou took a few henchmen, slowly went like a layman, and soon integrated into the lively and extraordinary flow of people.

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support
