In the second year of Jianxing, in late February, it was finally the day when Shile traveled north to Youzhou. Except for Shi Le and Zhang Bin, everyone in Xiangguo was full of worries about Shi Le's going to Youzhou alone, and Wang Zichun, who had been in contact with Wang Jun many times, did not agree to Shi Le's personal risk.

"Lord, that Wang Jun is cunning and abnormal, if the general goes, he will suffer!"

Only Zhang Bin was full of confidence in this trip, so he comforted everyone very easily: "Don't worry, don't worry, destroy Wang Jun, in one move!" I know that Lord Wang is worried, and I am only worried that Wang Jun will take the opportunity to detain the lord and then blackmail us to hand over the territory of Xiangguo. It's a pity that Lord Wang forgot that we are not the prey in Wang Jun's mouth, on the contrary, Wang Jun himself is the prey! ”

"Mr. Mengsun, have you forgotten that Jicheng is Wang Jun's territory, and there are more than 20,000 Jin soldiers stationed there. The lord of Youzhou only brought two thousand elite cavalry with him, and if he was in the field, he was not afraid of many soldiers in Youzhou, but once the lord entered the city, Wang Jun only needed to close the city gate, and the rest was to catch turtles in the urn. ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and they all spoke out to dissuade Shi Le. Ran Shile was unmoved, and only looked at Zhang Bin's reaction.

Sure enough, he didn't disappoint, but Zhang Bin laughed a few times and said: "Hahaha, lord, I expected that as soon as Wang Jun saw the lord arrive, not only would he not send troops to arrest the lord, but he would open the city gate to welcome you!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Because of the person who fakes surrender and dares to go to danger in person, there is only one lord in the world!"

Although Shi Le had understood what Zhang Bin meant, he still said worriedly: "This time, either I am alive or he is dead." ”

It is indeed too risky to go to Youzhou, not only do you need to travel thousands of miles, but you can't bring too many armorers. Otherwise, it will definitely arouse Wang Jun's suspicions, which can be described as dangerous, and even a hero like Shi Le has to think about it for a long time.

Zhang Bin saw the worry in Shi Le's heart, and in order to cheer up Shi Le, he continued to analyze: "Since the betrayal of the Duan clan and the centrifugation of Karasuma, Wang Jun has been just a toothless tiger. There is no need to worry at all. At that time, the lord only needs to do this, and he will definitely deceive Wang Jun and make him think that you are sincerely going to congratulate him. ”

"As long as Wang Jun is successfully destroyed in this battle, the general can take advantage of the situation to annex the two states of Youji, just like Yuan Shao destroyed Gongsun Zan during the Three Kingdoms, and dominate the land of Hebei, who else in the world can compete with the lord?!"

Listening to Zhang Bin's words, Shi Le shouted excitedly: "There is Mr. Mengsun who plans everything for me. What else do I have to doubt? The generals don't need to persuade again, I will send my troops to Youzhou tomorrow! ”

Before leaving the next day, Zhang Bin repeatedly told Shi Le, telling him not to massacre the people of Youzhou too much, especially to treat the famous people of the family preferentially. Now Zhang Bin is just like Xun Yu was to Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang was to Liu Bei, and his words were naturally firmly remembered by Shi Le.

After Shi Le's departure, Zhang Bin was worried that Liu Kun would break the contract and attack Xiangguo, so he specially wrote a letter to him on Shi Le's behalf. Continue to express deferential attachment.

……

After Liu Kun's extremely subordinates read the letter, most of them looked at each other and were puzzled. Only a few people such as Gao Zhan and Wen Qiao saw through Zhang Bin's true intentions.

Liu Kun dismissed everyone in disappointment, leaving only Wen Qiao and Gao Zhanlai.

"Jing Qian, Taizhen, what do you two think of this letter?"

"General Shi Le has made a move, I am afraid that there will be changes in my state, so I deliberately use this to paralyze Lord Shi!"

"Who do you think will fail, Wang Jun and Shi Le?"

"Naturally, it's Wang Jun!"

"Why?"

"Lord, Shi Le has been planning for nearly a year in order to destroy Wang Jun. On the contrary, Wang Jun has no defense at all except for arrogance and lasciviousness, with mental calculation or unintentional, Shi Leyan can not win, and Wang Junyan can not be defeated? ”

"Lord Thorn. Now it's up to you to perform. ”

During this time, Gao Zhan and Wen Qiao were not idle, and the two formulated a detailed action plan for Liu Kun. Liu Kun nodded when he heard this, then picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to the Huns: Kun originally intended to ask for Shile, but unexpectedly Shile went to ambush and had no land, asking to capture Jicheng to atone for his crimes; Shile is about to surrender, the enemy on the eastern front has been destroyed, I will personally lead the army to attack Pingyang, God bless the Great Jin!

Liu Kun put down his pen and ordered people to send it to the neighboring states and counties, and for a time from Yanmen County in the north to Henan and Yan'er Prefectures in the south, all places received the text issued by Liu Kun.

Zhang Bin, who sat on behalf of Shi Le to lead the government affairs of Xiangguo, naturally also received Liu Kun's text, and couldn't help but be surprised after reading the content, especially: "Shi Le begged to capture Jicheng to atone for his crimes" This sentence is clearly reminding Wang Jun to be careful about Shi Le.

And "I will personally attack Pingyang" is to show all parties that the state will not interfere with the mutual 'plot' between Shile and Wang Jun, so that the two sides can fight each other with peace of mind.

Reading the whole article, Zhang Bin took a deep breath, he couldn't believe that this was done by Liu Kun, who was famous for his straightforwardness, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.

……

Walking on the road, Shi Le found that things went smoothly completely beyond his expectations, and the generals from all over Youzhou, except for Sun Wei, the capital of Zhuo County, who had proposed to his superiors You Tong and the lord Wang Jun to be careful of Shi Le's sneak attack, the rest of the people all happily welcomed Shi Le, and even provided him with food, grass and a place to rest.

Because he carried a large number of tribute gifts to Wang Jun, Shi Le did not walk very fast, and did not arrive at the gate of Jicheng until the beginning of March. It is said that at the beginning, Wang Jun really had the intention of taking Shile on the spot, and he even conveyed a secret order to the generals defending the city, as soon as Shile entered the city, the defenders immediately stepped forward to capture him.

However, his son-in-law Zao Song was full of nonsense, thinking that this would disappoint Wang Jun, who had just ascended to the throne, in front of the world's heroes, and then lose the opportunity to recruit the world's heroes. When Wang Jun heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he sent another order to the defenders, telling them not to go to war after seeing Shile, but only to impose martial law.

Shi Le stood under Jicheng, looking at the defenders above who had no intention of making a move, and couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Bin, as Zhang Bin expected, Wang Jun didn't have any suspicions about him at all.

In fact, it can't be said that Wang Jun was careless, but he underestimated Shi Le. Wang Jun thought that he had 20,000 male soldiers, plus 4,000 cavalry in hand, so he didn't pay attention to the 2,000 people brought by Shi Le at all. He couldn't believe that Shile dared to attack him under heavy guards.

Shi Le calmly came to the city gate and shouted to the city head: "A certain Xiangguo Shi Le, specially ordered by Emperor Dayan to come to offer a table and gifts, you don't hurry up to open the city gate." ”

When the guards in the city heard Shile's voice, they hurriedly ordered the men to open the gates. Seeing that the city gate was wide open, Shile did not rush into the city, but first asked people to pretend to be him and enter with two hundred guards and hundreds of cattle and sheep. It wasn't until a long time later, and there was no movement in the city, that Shile's hanging heart was completely put down.

Shi Lezhu resisted the joy in his heart, thinking that the fame and hegemony were all in the present dynasty, and with a loud shout, he personally led two thousand cavalry to rush into Jicheng, and quickly surrounded Wang Jun's mansion before the defenders reacted. Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Shi Le revealed his hideous face, and commanded his subordinates to burn, kill, and plunder in Jicheng, and many people and officials died.

In order to quickly occupy Jicheng, Shi Le had done his homework before, and had asked Wang Zichun to inspect the layout of Jicheng many times. It was precisely by relying on the previous preparations that Shi Le's command would be extremely familiar with the geography of Jicheng City, and he could control the entire city in an instant.

It wasn't until he was tied up in front of Shi Le that Wang Jun completely woke up, it turned out that Shi Le, who he had always relied on as his confidant, was simply harboring evil intentions. Seeing Shi Le staring at him gloomily, Wang Jun felt frightened and fidgeted.

"Shilong, you...... What do you mean by that? If there's anything wrong with me, you can point it out to your face, and I'll definitely change my ways, so why bother with knives and guns? Doesn't this hurt the peace between you and me? ”

Seeing that Wang Jun still had illusions at this time, Shi Le couldn't help but show a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth and said, "Wang Pengzu, don't waste your words. Now that Le has captured you, it is impossible to let you go again. If you want to live, you'd better quickly order the Youzhou generals to stop resisting and surrender to me. ”

Shi Le's words were like the last straw, which made Wang Jun completely dead. Wang Jun sat down trembling and paralyzed, allowing Shi Le to act as a blessing on his territory. (To be continued.) )
