Chapter 278 Jiangnan Chapter (2) Dongwu Chapter 4

Chapter 278 The lone army went deep behind the enemy, and the back was in front of the enemy's chaos

In the above book, it is mentioned that Cheng Pu's soldiers and horses entered Qiongya.

Facing the invitation of the third son, Cheng Pu said very calmly: "This place is not far from the two cities!" It's just that at this point the march will be as you say, and soon we will be exposed! Tell your soldiers to take cover! After dark, we divided into two routes and went to the two cities together! ”

"Whoa!" Everyone agreed, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

The two cities of Hepu and Yulin are still immersed in the tranquility of the past.

The war on the border seems to have nothing to do with these people.

The officials in the city also decided that if there was a metropolitan governor, they would be safe and sound!

The gates of the city remained as usual, slowly closing after sunset.

The guards looked lazily at the pass in the city, and then returned to the nearby guard pavilion to rest.

No one saw it, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, dark shadows slipped out of the shade of the trees.

Sticking to the ground, they bent down and crept towards the city.

At that time, there were no electric lights, and even oil lamps were very frugal. Not to mention the homes of the common people, even those small families within the Shi clan rarely hold candles for a long night. Only those who are the door valve of the scholar will put on the lights, lavishly light the pine oil torches, hang the bright candles, and make the house the same as in the daytime.

Therefore, the homes of the people outside the city have fallen asleep in darkness......

Cheng Pu sent two brothers, Cheng Zhi and Cheng Jie, each with five hundred elite swords and axes, dressed in black clothes and black armor, wearing black turbans, wearing short blades around their waists, and carrying ladder soft ropes.

How? It took 500 men to attack the city?

It turned out that whether it was Hepu or Yulin, there were not many soldiers stationed in the city, and most of the standing soldiers had been transferred, leaving only a few hundred to defend the city!

They were used to the weakness of the natives, so no one cared what happened at such a late hour!

All this was expected by Zhou Yu.

The soldiers defending the city had long been accustomed to burrowing into their barracks, unarmouring them, and lying down.

The soldiers standing guard outside were leaning against the wall one by one, and their eyes had already begun to count the bricks. The only usual thing left was the sparse few torches hanging from the walls.

Such a lax city defense, let alone five hundred elite soldiers! Even fifty people will easily take it!

Therefore, the brothers Cheng Zhi and Cheng Jie easily captured Hepu and Yulin before midnight, captured all the officials in the city, and blocked the city.

Early the next morning, the two brothers escorted the officials in the city to see Cheng Pu.

Most of these officials were collateral members of the six major families, so when they heard that the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu were attacking, they were already frightened.

As soon as they saw Cheng Pu, they were even more frightened and their legs and stomachs weakened, and they fell to their knees.

Cheng Pu's face sank like water, snorted coldly, and asked, "Are there any people from your family among you?" ”

The people below didn't know what he meant, and they didn't say anything, but they just shivered there.

Seeing that no one didn't answer, Cheng Pu asked again: "Which one is from the Lai family?" Don't you want Pontus to give you a favor? ”

Everyone was stunned, and secretly said in their hearts: Okay! It turned out that the Lai family was doing the trick!

They weren't scared anymore, their eyes widened one by one, and they stared at Lai Huan, who was sent to Yulin by the Lai family.

Lai Huan secretly screamed in his heart, but he had an innocent look on his face.

However, at this time, he couldn't come out anymore, so he had to slowly stand up trembling from the crowd, salute Cheng Pushen, and then ask: "I saw the general in Xia Laihuan!" ”

Cheng Pu showed a mysterious smile on his face, and said to Lai Huan: "Yulin's affairs will be handed over to Mr. for the time being, I wonder if Mr. is willing?" ”

"...... this?" Lai Huan thought about 10,000 possibilities, but he never thought that Cheng Pu would make himself the county guard of Yulin City.

All of a sudden, those people were even more convinced that there was a collusion between the Lai family and Soochow!

It's just that no one dares to ...... because of Cheng Pu's coercion

At this time, Cheng Pu added another dose of fierce medicine: "That gentleman is from the Shi family?" ”

Lai Huan's matter was in front of him, but Hepu Taishou Shi did not hesitate, and stood up directly, saying: "In Xia Hepu Tai Shou Shi Su, dare to ask the general what this means?" ”

"Ou, has Sir guessed my intentions?" Cheng Pu asked rhetorically.

"Didn't Mr. let me go back?" Shi Wei looked like he was scared just now, and he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and it seemed that he would never be like Lai Huan.

Cheng Pu smiled slightly and said, "Most of my family governors have received help from your two families, so they will naturally fulfill the promise they promised you!" Don't you know, sir? ”

"......!?" Shi Su was speechless for a while.

All right!

It turns out that it's not just the Lai family, but also the Shi family?!

Haven't the two of them always advocated surrender?

Not to mention the people of the Shi family, there is no one in the Wu family, the Dai family and the Zhang family who do not hate the Lai family and the Shi family.

If there were no Cheng Pu's soldiers at this time, I'm afraid that Lai Huan and Shi Su would have been torn to pieces by this person!

Cheng Pu sat behind the handsome case, looked at the people below, was overjoyed, and sighed secretly: Gong Jin, Gong Jin, such a plan is afraid that the king of Hainan will make trouble!

Lai Huan and Shi Su glanced at each other, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, but they had to accept the appointment, bowed to Cheng Pu, and took the appointment under the eyes of others who could kill.

Cheng Pu laughed and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, you just have to do things for the clan!" Go down and prepare to go back to the city to pacify the people, and the governor of Pontus will send five hundred swords and axes to help you!" ”

Really, five hundred axemen were sent to oversee it!

The two reluctantly agreed, turned around and left Cheng Pu's tent.

Lai Huan wanted to discuss it with Shi Su, but he was afraid that the soldiers who followed behind him would hear it, so he could only keep giving Shi Su a look.

Shi Su glared at Lai Huan fiercely, then looked at the soldier who was following behind him, then took two quick steps, and said to Lai Huan in a low voice: "This matter is not trivial, quickly inform the clan!" With that, he turned and left.

Lai Huan looked at his back, nodded, and then walked towards Yulin.

Lai Huan and Shi Su were sent away, and Cheng Pu didn't talk nonsense to others, and directly sent someone to detain him.

That night, the Shi family and other people from various families took advantage of the soldiers' inattention to escape from Cheng Pu's camp and went straight to Jiaozhi.

In the night, four figures appeared behind them.

"Father, can this really work?" It was Cheng Zhi's voice.

An old and calm voice replied, "We have captured the two cities of Yulin and Hepu, and sent the seven counties of Shixie to the second!" And this is going to Jiaozhi, but there is a sorghum county in the middle, and it can be won in one fell swoop tomorrow! And the news has arrived at Jiaozhi, so Shixie will inevitably send someone to inform Shiyi in front! ”

The owner of this voice is none other than the veteran general Cheng Pu.

……

Sure enough.

On the second day, they returned to attack Gaoliang County.

Shixie in the city of Cochin saw the people who had fled.

"What? The Eastern Wu army actually captured Hepu and Yulin? Shi Xie was shocked.

Among these people are several people from the side branch of the Shi family, and the highest position among them is Yulin Taishou Shikui. He is the son of Shi Xie's uncle, and he should be Shi Xie's cousin.

Shi Kui stood in front of Shi Xie, gritted his teeth and said: "It's all the Lai family and the Shi family who are making trouble, otherwise how could the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu suddenly appear in Yulin City?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Xie frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Shi Kui then elaborated on the past, and then did not forget to scold the Lai family and the Shi family for their disloyalty.

Shi Xie's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he lowered his head and wondered how to deal with this matter.

Just then, Shiwen walked in from outside.

"Big brother, something is wrong!" Shiwen said hurriedly.

"What's the matter?" Shi Xie's heart trembled again.

It turned out that before them, Lai Huan and Shi Su had already sent a fast horse to deliver a letter to their home to talk about the past.

The heads of the Lai family and the Shi family are not fuel-efficient, and they can see the plot of Soochow at a glance. The two of them gathered all the people in the clan respectively, and after a simple arrangement, they organized all the people in the clan to travel lightly and went to Yulin and Hepu respectively.

Because they know that they can't argue now, not to mention that in Shi Xie's eyes, they are just a pawn to balance Shi Yi. So, they don't care about carrying out this crime at all.

Endorsed in the book, do they really want to abandon Lai Gong and Lai Man and others?

Of course not!

At the same time, the heads of the two families sent people to Siheung to deliver a message to their families......

Therefore, all this is not able to catch up with the progress of the Shi family.

It is precisely in this way that the fate of Shi Xie's demise is already doomed!

Knowing that the two families were exhausted, Shi Xie angrily smashed the teacup in front of him with a punch, stood up, and said to Shi Kui: "I promise you three thousand soldiers and horses, set off immediately, and be sure to recover the two!" ”

At this time, I still go to chase people, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch them back, but I will meet the soldiers and horses of Dongwu!

Shiwen hurriedly stopped it, and admonished: "Big brother, you can't do it!" There are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and another 3,000 will be sent. For today's plan, it is better to quickly send someone to Sixing and tell the second brother to lead troops to rescue! ”

Shi Xie was able to dominate Jiaozhou for more than ten years, so he naturally had his virtues.

After calming down, he immediately sent someone to Siheung.

And Shi Yi, who played against Zhou Yu, won and lost with Zhou Yu in the battle for more than two months, but they have been in a stalemate. Originally, several times of killing battles, Dongwu relied on the courage of the anti-water sword soldiers to achieve victory.

The makeshift walled city was still there blocking the advance of the Soochow soldiers.

After hearing Zhou Yu's virtuous name for a long time, Shi Yi has always felt that something is wrong, but he can't say what is wrong.

It wasn't until Shikui's arrival that he understood what was wrong! It's just a pity that the battlefield is changing rapidly, let alone so late!

Seeing that the enemy was being attacked on his back and the capital was approaching the army, Shi Yi's head was big!

Now that the defense is back, everything that has been built here has become nothingness; In other words, the previous efforts have become nothing. And will the Soochow soldiers stop there? I'm afraid no one dares to say it!

So will Shi Yi retire or not? Tune in to the next chapter.
