Chapter 187: Attack
To Zhang Yuan's surprise, seven days had passed, and the envisaged civil strife had not appeared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Soon, the fine work in the city sent the latest information to Zhang Yuan's hands:
The Chen family generously donated money, not only pulling out their own servants to help Liu Bao defend the city, but also taking out the grain and grass stored by the family to supply military supplies, temporarily alleviating the shortage of grain and grass in the city.
The combat effectiveness of a thousand private soldiers is not as good as that of the regular army, but it is enough to cheer up Liu Bao's troops a little, and the most important thing is that with the Chen clan coming forward, Liu Bao can live in the turbulent hearts of the people in Jin and Jin, and there will be no civil strife.
In addition, Liu Bao also spread false news around Jincheng, saying that Wang Hui, who was Xiaopei, had led tens of thousands of troops south and was on his way to Jin, and Zhang Yuan would soon be annihilated under their internal and external attacks.
"At the critical moment, Cheng Chu dared to stand up and support Liu Bao, hateful!" Zhang Yuan slapped that piece of information on the case, and a trace of hatred flashed across his eyebrows.
Gao Gong swallowed a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The Chen family, like the Wang family, is the top family in Bingzhou, he supports Liu Bao, just for the interests of the family, as long as the lord breaks through the Jin, Cheng Chu will abandon Liu Bao in a blink of an eye and fall to the lord's command." ”
"It's easy to say." Li Dingguo chewed a bite of meat and glanced at him, "Then we have to capture Jin, the problem now is that it is precisely because of the support of the Cheng clan that we are not able to break the city." ”
At this time, Fan Lihua was excited and said murderously: "Husband, since this is the case, what are we dragging, just attack in a big way, take Jin in one fell swoop, destroy Liu Bao, and destroy Cheng Chu's house." ”
As soon as Fan Lihua called for battle, the rest of the generals were also enthusiastic, clamoring to attack the city.
"Madame, calm down, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred yourself, what do you think your husband will do." Zhang Yuan smiled and signaled them to calm down.
"It's ......not easy to have this calmness," Gao Gong tasted the wine in his mouth, but nodded secretly.
"However, Wang Hui has gathered four or five thousand soldiers and horses in Xiaopei, let's drag it out and not attack Jin, and when Wang Hui makes a comeback and kills Jin, what should we do?" Fan Lihua said anxiously.
At this moment, the soldiers entered the account and handed over a letter.
Zhang Yuan opened the letter and looked at it, and his spirit suddenly perked up, this was another letter from that mysterious person.
The mysterious man told the secret before, so that Zhang Yuan broke Liu Bao's marriage plot and captured the title rouge, at this critical moment, the mysterious man wrote again, how could he not be excited.
After a few closer looks, Zhang Yuan became more and more excited, and in the end, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, "It turned out to be you, you are really more cunning than I imagined, now God will help me, Liu Bao, I see how long you can hold on, haha......"
Fan Lihua and the others, looking at Zhang Yuan who was laughing loudly, all looked at each other, all of them looked suspicious, and couldn't guess why Zhang Yuan was so excited.
The laughter suddenly subsided, Zhang Yuan's eyes were murderous, and he shouted happily: "Don't you want to fight, tomorrow we will fight happily and take Jincheng in one fell swoop." ”
Zhang Yuan immediately gave the order to attack Jin in general.
In the afternoon of tomorrow, Hua Rong led a 4,000-foot army to attack from the north gate, and Li Dingguo led a 4,000-foot army to feint the east gate, leaving only the southwest two gates unattacked.
Zhang Yuan himself led nearly 10,000 main forces and put on a pressing posture.
The generals were eager to fight, and at this time Zhang Yuan ordered, of course, his blood was boiling.
It's just that the fighting spirit is high, but they are suspicious of Zhang Yuan's attitude change, you know, just now Zhang Yuan did not advocate a strong attack on Jin, why only read a letter, and their attitude came to a 180-degree change.
"Lord, in the opinion of the last general, the degree of soaking damage at the West Gate is even greater, why doesn't our army attack the West Gate?" Zudi questioned.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said nothing, and only handed him the letter from the mysterious person in his hand.
Zu Di looked suspicious, took the letter and looked at it, and a trace of excitement instantly ignited on his determined face.
"It turns out that this person who has been revealing Liu Bao's military information to us turned out to be Cheng Zhu, and he also said that he would cooperate with the outside to help us seize the city gate, I don't know if you believe it or not?" Zudi was a little skeptical in his excitement.
Everyone present was surprised when they heard that the mysterious person turned out to be Cheng Chu, and there was a lot of discussion in the tent.
Only Gao Gong, after only a moment of surprise, immediately smiled, as if he wanted to understand something.
"Husband, if Cheng is a mysterious person, why is he still giving money and people, so enthusiastic to help Liu Bao, will this be a fraud?" Fan Lihua openly expressed doubts, and her words also represented the suspicions of other generals.
Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to Gao Gong, "High drunkard, why do you think Cheng Cheng would do this?" ”
Gao Gong poured a sip of wine, sorted out his thoughts, and said unhurriedly: "Shicai Cheng also said that Cheng Cheng is a member of the state clan, and the primary purpose of his every move is to ensure the interests of the Cheng family. Just as he was loyal to Wang Hui before, but after hearing that Wang Hui was defeated, he decisively surrendered to Liu Bao, and now that Liu Bao's defeat has been decided, he chose to betray Liu Bao and return to the lord, which is also to protect the interests of his Cheng family and the state, which is reasonable. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, with a little appreciation on his face.
Gao Gong is worthy of being Gao Gong, with a vicious vision, and he has such a transparent grasp of people's hearts, and he sees Cheng Cheng clearly, which is the same as what he thinks.
"However, how do you explain that Cheng Cheng sent people and food to help Liu Bao defend the city?" Fan Lihua still didn't believe it.
Without waiting for Gao Gong to speak, Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said: "This reason is simpler, he is not so enthusiastic, how can he smoothly arrange his people on the front line of the city gate, and how can it be convenient to cooperate with the outside and open the city gate for us." ”
After a speech, Fan Lihua suddenly realized, and all the generals were also enlightened, and they were all ecstatic.
Although Zhang Yuan also appreciated it, he was quite jealous of Cheng Cheng in his heart.
Historically, Bingzhou has changed hands several times, but Cheng Chu has been able to stand tall, first following Zhang Yang, then following Wang Hui, then falling to Liu Bao, and finally returning to Dong Zhuo.
It can be seen that in Cheng Chu's eyes, the interests of the family are paramount, whoever is strong and who can take charge of the state, he will fall to whomever he wants, so that he will not be loyal to anyone.
Zhang Yuan is familiar with history, and naturally knows Cheng Cheng's character well, coupled with the fact that he surrendered to Liu Bao before, and now he rebels against Liu Guishun himself, all kinds of actions further corroborate his judgment of this person.
I have to admit that this person is a master of judging the situation and playing with power, and he is indeed a great talent.
However, he is also a double-edged knife, and now seeing that he is in a position to submit to himself, it is difficult to guarantee that his situation will be unfavorable in the future, and he will choose to take refuge in others.
Zhang Yuan has already made up his mind, for Cheng Chu, since he uses it, he must also guard against it.
In the current situation, taking the breakthrough of Jin as the top priority, the prevention is not to worry about it first, and the most important thing is to use Cheng to win the Jin Cai first.
At that moment, Zhang Yuan sent an order down and ordered the generals to act according to the plan.
