Chapter 847: Lu Xun saw the troops
When Cao Pi and others in the city were preparing for the breakout, Lu Zhi outside the city was not idle
To the east of the barracks was a place where the wounded soldiers gathered. Lu Xun led some of his own soldiers and henchmen to comfort the wounded barracks.
At this moment, countless soldiers in the camp were lying or sitting. The look is painful, there are those who wail, and there are shēn groans. Such is the consequence of a big war.
Especially the onslaught, the casualties of the army were greater.
Lu Xun had already counted three battalions, and the casualties of the army were seven or eight thousand. Three thousand were killed, four or five thousand wounded.
Every day after the war, Lu Xun would come over to comfort the wounded.
"General, there is a person outside the camp who claims to be the captain of the evil city and asks to see him." At this moment, a pro-soldier walked in from outside the door and said to Lu Xun.
"Captain? Are there those who surrender in the city? Lu Xun turned his head when he heard this, there was no surprise on his face, now that the Chu army is attacking fiercely, it is estimated that the city will not be able to hold it, and it is certain that people's hearts will fluctuate.
"I'll leave it over here, don't forget it. If there is a complaint from a soldier, I will behead him. Lu Xun pondered for a moment and said to the general next to him who was in charge of the wounded barracks.
The official's face was solemn and he responded.
Immediately, Lu Xun walked out. Soon, he returned to the vicinity of the Chinese army's big tent. Not long after Lu Xun sat down, a personal soldier brought the man who claimed to be the captain of the city to Lu Xun.
This lieutenant is about forty years old, with a mediocre appearance and little imposing. It's a very ordinary person.
"General Lu." After entering the big tent, this person hugged Lu Xun with a fist and looked a little flattering.
Xun ignored the flattering demeanor and hummed softly. After a pause, he asked, "I claim to be a lieutenant in the city, but I don't know who my surname is, and where I live?" ”,
"It is one of the four captains under the account of General Wu Xue, the general of the city gate.
surnamed Wang Mingcheng", Wang Chengdao is very smooth, without a little reluctance.
Lu Xun also had some faith in his heart that this person had surrendered.
"It is gratifying for a strong man to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and to be serious. Please also rest assured, if this battle is successful, I will allow the strong man to move to Youzhou and return to Chu with me. Lu Xun smiled heartily.
"Thank you, General." , Wang Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down.
Immediately, Lu Xun had a few words with this person named Wang Cheng, and asked about some trivial matters.
But Wang Cheng answered like a fluent. Now, Lu Xun was really relieved.
"I don't know what the situation is in the city now, and what actions did Wang Lang and the others make?" Suddenly, Lu Xun asked.
This is the situation that Lu Xun is eager to know, although judging from Wang Cheng's surrender of the city, Lu Xun expected that the situation in the city was very unstable, but the result was not very clear.
Now Lu Xun's idea is to break through the city at a fast speed, and then carry the treasury, arsenal and so on of the city back to the Chu State.
"General Qiyu, the current situation in the city is not very stable, from the officials to the common people, they are all panicking. Although there was a lieutenant General Xing Zhen who recruited Cangsheng to defend the city, the effect was not safe. However, there is also a guard of the Duke of Wei in the city, which is a collection of more than 1,000 elite soldiers who are brave and good at fighting. This is a force that does not fight. Wang Cheng told Lu Xun in detail about the situation in the evil city.
Undoubtedly, Wang Cheng was the one who was chosen by Cao Pi to pass false information to Lu Xun as a dead soldier. As for the truth in Tulu City, it even included a thousand guards because Cao Pi knew that if he wanted to deceive Lu Xun, he had to take strong medicine.
Only if the truth is ten, the probability of Lu Xun believing it will be greater.
"I see." , Lu Xun nodded when he heard this. There was one thing that suddenly dawned on him. It stands to reason that as the national capital, even if it is empty.
Even if the Chu soldiers attacked fiercely, they would not start to sway in just two days.
There should always be a little bit of power.
It turned out that this force was hidden and was not used to defend the city. Lu Xun's heart was stunned. As for why he wanted to hide, of course, he couldn't hide it, and Lu Xun must have used it to break through.
Originally, Wang Cheng relied on these enough to deceive Lu Xun and even play some conspiracy.
But Cao Pi explained to him that it was not only that.
This time, in addition to abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, it also brought a piece of news
"Oh? What's the news? Lu Xun sighed, and immediately came to the spiritual road.
"It's just, it's just." But Wang Cheng began to hesitate, and it seemed that there were unspeakable friends.
"Haha, don't wander strong men. My Chu country has always had clear rewards and punishments, if there is really big news, in front of the Duke of Chu in the future, I should ask for credit for the strong man. "Wang Cheng's just right performance, he is really capable of g, Lu Xun said with a hearty smile when he heard this.
"Then thank you, General." Wang Cheng was overjoyed, and then, his face turned straight, and he said: "I am one of the captains of the city gate, and I have received some secret orders. In tonight, the eldest prince Cao Pi, Zuo Zhonglang will Xiahou Shang, Liuqing Wang Lang, Hua Xin, and Lieutenant Xie Zhen and others will lead the Duke of Wei, as well as the families of hundreds of civil and military officials to break through from the south of the city. ”,
Xun snorted, his eyes flickering. Immediately, he laughed and said: "Okay, with the news of the strong man, I can ambush in advance and capture Cao Pi and the others alive." This merit, I will ask the Duke of Chu for it afterwards. ”
"Thank you, General...... Wang Cheng was overjoyed again and bowed down.
"Hahaha. The mighty man was frightened in the city. Let's go down and rest first. Someone came, prepared wine and food for the strong man, and shouted outside the door.
Outside, a personal soldier came in response to the call and bowed to Wang Chengyi and said, "Strong man, please." ”
"Thank you." , Wang Cheng clenched his fists, and then bowed to Lu Xun and left with joy.
After Cheng left, Lu Xun's face turned cold, and if Wang Cheng's performance was just right before, Lu Xun really believed in Wang Cheng.
But the last one is more than a snake.
The purpose of the three missing and missing one is that the famous generals and advisors of Cao Cao have been sent out to ambush the army. There are no useful people in the city.
How can you know the truth and see through his plan?
Therefore, Cao Pi and those people can only break through from the three target goals of the north of the tool, and it is impossible to break through from the south. This is Lu Xun's self-confidence.
Therefore, this person's heart can be punished.
As for Lu Xun, he didn't order him to be killed, but he wanted to see if there was a follow-up.
Just when Lu Xun sneered on his face and pondered. A soldier walked in outside the door and said, "General Advisory, when that Wang Zhuang was walking just now, he accidentally knocked over a brazier and lit a camp tent. ”
"Go and kill the king." Lu Xun really decided that the guy named Wang Cheng was sorry for this time. After a moment of silence, he said.
Bing was stunned for a moment, but then immediately agreed.
Although Lu Xun is young, his prestige is very high.
"This is the signal", after the soldiers left, Lu Xun let out a cold sound again, and then Lu Xun issued an order, ordering Lu Meng in the east of the city, a deputy general in the west of the city, to strengthen the guard. Cao Pi may break through.
As for the south of the city, Lu Xun still didn't plan to release the army to intercept it.
The army of 30,000 people was killed day after day, and seven or eight thousand people were lost. Only more than 20,000 people remained. If you separate again, you probably won't be able to stop it.
is still the same sentence, if someone breaks through to the south, he Lu Xun will let him go.
And at this moment, on the north wall of Hancheng City. Cao Pi, as well as Xiahou Shang, and many other ministers of the Six Secretaries were there. Their eyes all shot to the Chu army camp outside the city.
The man has already sent his son out, and the next thing is to see if he can succeed.
"I don't know if I can succeed." I waited for a long time, but I didn't see the signal come out. A minister couldn't help but sigh apprehensively.
"Lord Zhang rest assured, that Wang Chengnai is a person who is very good at clever words. will definitely be able to deceive Lu Xun. ", another minister soothed.
Cao Pi, Xiahou Shang and the others didn't speak, but their expressions were a little nervous, even Xiahou Shang. It's one thing to make a plan calmly, it's another thing to expect results.
At this moment, someone exclaimed.
"Look, a tent of the Chu army is on fire."
Immediately, Cao Pi, Xiahou Shang, Wang Lang and others raised their heads one after another and stared at Chu Ying. I saw that the Chu army camp, which was a large area of darkness just now, suddenly had a little light.
It must not have been the flame of a brazier, it must have been a tent that had been lit.
Cao Pi, Xiahou Shang, Wang Lang and others were all relieved.
Wang Lang was even more pleased to say to Cao Pi: "Lu Xun has been tricked, and the son can leave with peace of mind." ”,
Cao Pi was happy in his heart, but Wang Lang wanted to lead the suspicious soldiers to the south for them.
He is determined to die, and he is exceedingly faithful.
Of course, Cao Pi did not express his joy, but sighed and said: "I can go, but I have suffered the prince." ”
"As long as the eldest prince and all the sons can be safe, the old minister will feel relieved." , Wang Lang said with a smile, very open-minded.
All around Hua Xin sighed for Wang Lang, but no one stood up to replace Wang Lang.
And after they had been on the head of the city for a while, they went down. Although it is a suspicious time to go out of the south, there are too many things to prepare for the result, and it takes a little time to gather.
Late at night, sub-hour.
At this moment, there is a foot team in the south of the city. There are many soldiers around, horse-drawn carriages gathered, and there are many domestic slaves in the prime of life.
Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Bian, as well as some wives and concubines, some wives and concubines of Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and other brothers, and children. and Cao Cao's absence of an adult son, and so on.
A large number of Wei Gong's relatives were there.
In addition, there are also the families of civil and military officials, young sons, and so on. More importantly, Wang Lang, one of the six kings, often rides a horse and walks around.
Therefore, although there are some wise wives, to their husbands, adult sons are gone. I had some doubts, but I didn't pursue it too much.
They didn't know that their husbands and adult sons weren't there. They were waiting for the next bus to break through from the east of the city.
"Let's go."
When the time came, Wang Lang gave an order, and the gates of the city were opened. Wang Lang led the suspicious soldiers to the south.
This old minister already has a will to die in his heart, and if he is captured, he will die by himself.
Wang Lang made up his mind
