Chapter 80: Something Goes Wrong
After the end of the military council, on the way back, Xu Shu couldn't hold back after all, and still leaned over to Wu Yi and asked in a whisper: "Doesn't the lord have a trace of suspicion about this Han Zhong's request to surrender?" ”
Wu Yi glanced at Xu Shu with some amusement: "The person in charge here is General Zhu Jun, if you have any opinions on Han Zhong's request for surrender, you should raise it at the military council just now." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"General Zhu Jun is stubborn, even Lord Qin Jie, who is the county guard of Nanyang, can't persuade him, I am just a minister under the command of the lord, how can I let General Zhu Jun listen to my opinion?" Xu Shu remembered Zhu Jun's invincible appearance at the previous military council, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Could it be that Yuan Yuan thinks that Han Zhong is a fraud? But General Zhu Jun didn't fully believe in Han Zhong, hadn't he already arranged for two preparations before? Regardless of whether Han Zhong really surrendered or surrendered by fraud, as long as he opened the gate of the inner city and there was Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai out of the horse, were he still afraid of his rabble? Wu Yi didn't think too much, anyway, Nanyang was captured by Zhu Jun in history, and he came here just to mix up some merits, and he couldn't bother with Zhu Jun who was stubborn and self-serving.
Xu Shu sighed: "If it's just a deception and an ambush, relying on the combat strength of the Yellow Turban Army in the city, I'm afraid that Sun Wentai, who can't be prepared at all for a while, will be broken when General Zhu Jun leads the army to attack." But I always feel that this time the matter is not so simple, after all, the Yellow Turban Army was just defeated yesterday, and today Han Zhong sent someone to ask for surrender, which is too coincidental. However, the low combat strength of the Yellow Turban Army is also a well-known thing, if it is said that the Yellow Turban Army wants to deceive and set up an ambush when it is newly defeated, then it is really Zhang Mancheng who has killed himself. ”
"Well, according to you, things do seem to be a little strange."
"And my lord, have you paid attention to the envoy sent by Han Zhong?"
"That guy who calls himself Han Jin?"
"I came to Nanyang once for a friend in five years, and I had a dispute with a local tycoon in Nanyang. Na Haoqiang's surname is Sun Mingxia, but he is eight points similar to Na Han Jin. Xu Shu revealed another important piece of information to Wu Yi.
"Sun Xia? Isn't that the name of Zhang Mancheng's confidant? Hiss~ What do you mean, the so-called Han Jin before was probably sent by Zhang Mancheng? Wu Yi's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Shu in great surprise.
Xu Shu didn't make up his mind: "It's been five years since I came to Nanyang that time, so I'm not sure that Han Jin is the Nanyang Haoqiang Sun Xia himself I once met." But one thing is certain, judging from Han Jin's speech and demeanor, it is definitely not something that a cultivator can have! ”
"Forget it, there were two or three thousand casualties in the first battle yesterday, and since we were arranged by General Zhu to guard the camp, it is not our turn to worry about other things. No matter what tricks those Yellow Turban thieves set up, as long as Sun Wentai is cautious, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Wu Yi remembered Zhu Jun's self-righteous appearance, and simply hung up on himself, as long as he could guard the camp, no matter what happened, it would not affect him.
As for the tens of thousands of troops led by Zhu Jun, will they be severely damaged by this? Please, just rely on the remnants of the defeated army in the city, if they can defeat Zhu Jun's main force head-on, they don't need to hide in the city before they come out. Those Yellow Turban soldiers who were forcibly coerced would be fine if they fought a defensive battle or a tailwind battle, but if they fought a frontal positional battle, once the casualties were too large, they would inevitably become a mess. This rabble is no match for the Han army at all, and even if an ambush is set up, it will not change the fundamental difference in strength between the two sides.
……….
When he was a child, Sun Jian quietly came to the east gate of the inner city of Wancheng with 5,000 swords and shields and 1,000 military horses. According to the previous agreement, Sun Jian had three torches lit. The light of the three torches was very conspicuous in the night, and there seemed to be a commotion above the east gate, and then three torches were also lit on the top of the city, and the heavy and thick east gate was slowly opened.
Sun Jian was overjoyed when he saw this, and according to the plan with Zhu Jun, no matter whether this Han Zhong really surrendered or surrendered by fraud, as long as he dared to open the city gate, Sun Jian's task was to immediately control the control of the city gate and reserve the passage into the city for Zhu Jun's follow-up tens of thousands of troops. In order to prevent Han Zhong from surrendering, Zhu Jun specially equipped himself with 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and once the thick shield in their hands formed a shield array at the city gate, it would be easy to support it for an hour.
"Come with me into the city!" Sun Jian immediately waved the ancient ingot knife and prepared to lead the team into the city first.
Sun Jian was used to taking the lead, but Zu Mao on the side urged him to stop Sun Jian: "The lord is slow, I don't know if Han Zhong is really offering the door when he enters the city this time, just in case, let's go into the city first to check it out." ”
"This ....." Sun Jian's heart was actually moved by Zu Mao's words, but so many sergeants looked at him, and Sun Jian was really a little embarrassed to change generals.
On the side, Cheng Pu and Han Dang agreed with Zu Mao's words, as the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Sun Jian, as their lord, really shouldn't risk rushing to the front in this situation.
After being persuaded by the generals for a while, Sun Jian also agreed to Zu Mao's request: "Darong, you lead five thousand sword and shield soldiers first, and I will lead the army and horses of my headquarters to follow." I have sent someone to inform General Zhu Jun of the situation here, and the brigade will only need half an hour to arrive. Remember to be careful of Han Zhong's deception. ”
"Obey." Zu Mao bowed his hand to Sun Jian on his horse, and then dispatched the horse leader to lead the five thousand sword and shield soldiers to rush to the city gate.
At the head of the city, Han Zhong watched Zu Mao lead people close to the city gate, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "The guests are here, and they tell the soldiers to prepare 'gifts', and they will listen to the orders of the commander later." ”
The group of Yellow Turban soldiers beside Han Zhong whispered a promise, and scattered to prepare the 'gifts' that Zhang Mancheng had sent to the east gate in the morning.
Zu Mao led his army to the city gate, but he saw the city gate wide open, but he did not see a figure near the city gate. Zu Mao felt uneasy for a while, so he asked a team to lead more than 100 soldiers into the city first.
After a while, the team returned to Zu Mao's side and reported: "My lord, there is no one near the city gate, and there seems to be no one on the city head, maybe Han Zhong's subordinates have evacuated the city gate. ”
"No one? Well, the whole army entered the city, laid a shield array in the city, and waited for the army to arrive. Although Zu Mao always felt that something was wrong, the military order that Zhu Jun handed over to Sun Jian was to seize and hold the city gate, although he didn't know what was going on in the city at the moment, but the city gate was opened by Han Zhong after all, and it was not a matter for him to bring so many military horses to block the city gate, so Zu Mao led the army into the city.
