Chapter 219: Dizzy Liaohua
(Thank you Xiao Mo and Brother Junlin for the reward, hehe.) One second he was immersed in the joy of being trapped in the dragon coming out of the abyss, and the next he was in the threat of death.
Jiang Wan's angry rebuke was like a heavy hammer, hitting Liao Hua's head hard.
The left and right armor soldiers rushed up, and even if they wanted to drag Liao Hua out.
"Wait, let me say a few words, if Jiang Cheng wants to kill me after I finish speaking, I have no regrets."
Liao Hua shouted, and there was a tragic color in his expression.
Jiang Wan raised his hand, temporarily stopped the armor, looked directly at Liao Hua, and said coldly: "Reading the feelings of my colleagues, I will let you say a few last words before you die." ”
Liao Hua took a deep breath and said silently in a heavy tone: "In the battle of Jingzhou, I defended the small town of Chengxiang, and after hearing the bad news of General Guan's death, I wanted to follow General Guan under Jiuquan to death. After thinking about it again and again, I thought that I would be able to avenge General Guan one day, so I endured the humiliation and surrendered to Liu Feng. My Liao Hua's loyalty to General Guan and Uncle Liu Huang can be seen in the month. ”
Liao Hua's voice of defense was full of tears, and the armorers who were originally fierce and vicious on the left and right were gradually moved by his tragic performance.
Jiang Wan's murderous face gradually became much more relaxed at this time because of his words.
With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the sergeant to step aside.
After examining Liao Hua again, Jiang Wan said: "In this way, you surrendered to Liu Feng as a last resort, and now you are sincerely defecting to the old master?" ”
Liao Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I really don't hide it from Jiang Cheng, it's true that I sincerely defected to the old master, but what you just said is also half right." ”
"Huh?"
Jiang Wan was puzzled for a while.
"Then Liu Fengken let me return, in fact, he wanted me to surrender, and after winning Jiang Cheng's trust, he would cooperate with him to seize the city."
Liao Hua did not hide it and revealed the conspiracy that Liu Feng confessed to him.
Jiang Wan's eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Liao Hua's confession, but the smugness that flashed between his eyes seemed to imply that he had expected this.
"Go down, all of you."
Jiang Wan waved his hand again, and all the fierce swords and axes retreated, leaving only a few ordinary guards with swords.
"Come on, show General Liao."
The futon was presented to the left and right, Liao Hua was invited into the upper seat, and the murderous aura of hunting in the hall quietly retreated.
"The situation is like this, I have to do some testing to Yuan Jian, where you are offended, Yuan Jian should not be surprised, come, this cup of tea is my apology to you."
Jiang Wan raised his glass to salute, Liao Huachang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Gongyan, you are serious, I know that you are also official, how can I be strange." ”
The two of them drank all the tea, and the solemnity of the square was relatively gone.
"Yuan Jian, did Liu Feng really say that he wanted to dig a tunnel from the north to enter the city?"
"Yes, he told him many times, and I will never be mistaken. He also said that when the time came for me to win Gongyan's trust, I would take the patrol sergeant from the north, and then join up with the soldiers and horses he had sneaked in through the tunnel, and open the north gate to let his army into the city. ”
"That's ......"
Jiang Wan held his three-inch short beard in his hand, and his expression was a little weird.
When Liao Hua heard his breath, his heart immediately became nervous again, and he asked worriedly: "Gongyan, what I said is true, don't you believe it?" ”
Jiang Wan was stunned, and said with a smile: "Of course not, if Yuan Jian is deceitful in your heart, how can you tell the truth." ”
After a pause, he said again: "I am thinking, Liu Feng is cunning and deceitful, Yuan Jian, how loyal you are to General Guan, how can he not notice, and why would Yuan Jian, who is so easily believed, entrust you to do such a fraudulent thing." ”
Liao Hua was stunned by this remark, and he couldn't figure out what Jiang Wan's intentions were for a while, did he trust himself? Or something else?
"Gongyan, what do you mean......" Liao Hua blinked, looking a little nervous.
Jiang Wan smiled faintly and said, "Yuan Jian, you relax, it's not that I don't believe you." I'm thinking, Liu Feng probably guessed that you would take the opportunity to surrender to the old master and reveal his annihilation plan, since this is the case, then this authentic plan must be a fraud. ”
Liao Hua suddenly realized, slapped his hand on the door of his head, and blamed himself: "Look at my pig brain, I actually fell into the surname Liu, but fortunately, Gongyan was resourceful and saw through that guy's plan." In this way, Liu Feng didn't plan to dig the tunnel, but what was he doing with so much effort to release me? ”
Liao Hua's brows were tightly locked, his face was full of sadness, and with his IQ, he naturally couldn't guess the mystery.
Jiang Wan walked and paced, shook a few times in front of Liao Hua, and suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, revealing a sneer.
"He's trying to make a noise."
Jiang Wan broke through the mystery in one word.
"What's the matter?" Liao Hua still hasn't opened his mind.
Jiang Wan unhurriedly said his reason.
This Wu County lies at the mouth of the avenue on the south bank of the Yangtze River, with a line in the south and a high mountain in the south, and Badong County in the west, so the Jingzhou army only set up camps in the north and east.
If Jiang Wan mistakenly believed Liao Huazhi's statement and thought that Liu Feng was going to dig a tunnel from the north, then he would have to mobilize a large number of manpower to dig deep trenches along the line of the city corner, and he would have to use most of his troops to strengthen the defense of the north line.
Since Liu Feng expected that Liao Hua was a fake play, his purpose was naturally to attract his troops to the front line of Beicheng, and there was only one attempt to do so: the direction he really wanted to dig the tunnel was precisely to the east.
"I see, this guy surnamed Liu is too ...... It's too insidious......"
It took Liao Hua a lot of effort to find the main line from Jiang Wan's bunch of round-and-forth analysis, and after realizing it, his face was full of disbelief.
Under one move, it turned out to be paving the way for the move after ten moves, how can people's hearts be unpredictable.
"Gongyan, what should we do then?"
Liao Hua's tone was full of anger, and he seemed to be very annoyed that Liu Feng was playing with his IQ like this.
"Liu Feng is so arrogant, then we just plan and frustrate his spirit."
Jiang Wan's expression gradually became excited, and a counterattack plan quickly formed in his mind.
His strategy was to let Liao Hua continue to be his "undercover agent", secretly eye-to-eye with Liu Feng, and spread the news, so that Liu Feng mistakenly thought that Jiang Wan had been fooled, so he began to self-righteously dig tunnels in the east.
During this period, Jiang Wan remained silent and secretly strengthened vigilance on the front line of Dongcheng.
As soon as the date for breaking the city comes, Liu Feng will inevitably pass the news to Liao Hua in advance, thinking that Liao Hua, who is a fake play, will ask Jiang Wan to transfer his soldiers and horses to Beicheng, and he, Liu Feng, can take the opportunity to break into Dongcheng from the tunnel.
When Liu Feng's soldiers and horses sneaked into the city, Jiang Wan, who had already been ambushed here, could wave his troops to surround and kill, kill Liu Feng by surprise, and defeat Liu Feng's spirit with a big victory.
On the same day, the two discussed stopping, and Jiang Wan arranged to transfer most of the 3,000 soldiers and horses to the east of the city to prepare for prevention in advance.
At the same time, in order to prevent Liu Feng from digging tunnels from both sides at the same time, Jiang Wan also ordered people to bury many large vats along the city in the northern direction of the city, and through these vats to monitor the underground situation.
Two days later, Liu Feng outside the city received a letter from Liao Hua.
In the letter, Liao Hua claimed that Jiang Wan believed that his fraudulent surrender letter was true, and had allocated some of his troops and horses, and asked him to counsel the military aircraft together, and that he was trying his best to win Jiang Wan's complete trust in order to prepare for the cooperation between the inside and the outside in the near future.
"Our General Liao Yuanjian has replied, Youchang, take a look."
Liu Feng handed the secret book to Ma Yan.
"Youchang, do you think that Liao Hua will really do what we envisioned? Or maybe he was a deceitful man, but when the time came, he made a mistake and ruined our plan. ”
Liu Feng still has a trace of worry, there is no way, who let Liao Hua in history, after Sima Zhao destroyed Shu, Jiang Wei and other important ministers of Shu Han who joined in the later period were all killed in battle, Liao Hua, an old minister who followed Liu Bei in the early days, chose to survive.
Whether it is a true surrender or a false surrender, Liu Feng is indeed not completely sure.
Ma Tan smiled faintly, and he was confident, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Liao Hua is a real fraud or a fake fraud, what matters is Jiang Wan's judgment." ”
"Jiang Wan's judgment? How to say. Liu Feng vaguely guessed a few points.
"Jiang Wan is very highly regarded by Kong Ming, and he also has a bit of scheming, just imagine, with his resourcefulness, what kind of judgment will he have on the matter of Liao Hua's sudden return?"
Ma Jian didn't say a word, and he was as smart as Liu Feng and immediately realized.
If Liao Hua is a fake and fraudulent surrender, he will inevitably truthfully reveal Liu Feng's plan, and with Jiang Wan's resourcefulness, he will definitely wonder if he Liu Feng deliberately let Liao Hua go, so as to direct a plan to attack the west, then in this case, Ma Yan's strategy will naturally work.
But if Liao Hua is really deceitful, in this dangerous situation, will Jiang Wan believe it?
No, by no means gullible.
At that time, Jiang Wan was on the safe side, even if he didn't behead Liao Hua on the spot, he would be imprisoned, or simply sent to Luocheng to be handed over to Liu Bei for disposal.
Then, under this threat, in order to prove his innocence and make up for his mistakes, Liao Hua will inevitably take advantage of the situation to reveal Liu Feng's plan.
Therefore, as Ma Jian said, it doesn't matter what Liao Hua thinks, the key lies in Jiang Wan, and with Jiang Wan's resourcefulness, he Liao Hua seems to have two choices, but in fact, there is only one way to go.
"You're getting more and more resourceful, amazing."
Liu Feng couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and praised, for this young man who was the first to follow him to raise the army and raise his hands with both wisdom and bravery, Liu Feng was full of satisfaction for his growth.
"Don't praise me first, my lord, in fact, I still have one more worry, and I haven't thought of a way to deal with it for a while."
"What worries?" Liu Feng asked.
Ma Yan said: "Then Jiang Wan is cautious, even if he plans to transfer the soldiers and horses to the east city, but it is impossible not to be wary of the north city, we want to quietly dig a tunnel to go straight to the city, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the city." ”
The easiest way to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels is to bury a large vat or other amplification under the city wall, so that they can easily monitor the movement underground, not to mention that they have to carry out such a large project.
Liu Feng pondered for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sneered: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a trick to cover your eyes." ”
