Just when Dong Shouye was frowning in order to minimize his losses and capture Chang'an City, a piece of news suddenly reached Li Ru's hands from within Chang'an City.

This news is very confidential, and it is also a matter of importance, after getting the news, Li Ru did not dare to slack off, and quickly went to the Shuai tent to ask to see Dong Shouye.

Dong Shouye saw that Li Ru asked to see him, and how could he not allow it, so he immediately let him enter the account to discuss.

Li Ru looked confident at this time, quite a little radiant, looked at Dong Shouye and said, "Lord, there is news in Chang'an City!" ”

Dong Shouye was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "What kind of news can make the eldest brother-in-law so happy!" At this time, there were only Dong Shouye and Li Ru in the account, and there were no outsiders, so Dong Shouye's attitude was more casual.

After hearing this, Li Ru touched his goatee and said, "Lord, can you remember Hu Zhen Hu Wencai?" ”

Dong Shouye smiled and said, "Of course I remember that he was one of the five major lieutenant generals under my father, and he was also quite meritorious, and he was ordered by my father to garrison Yangcheng. When I fought with Sun Jian in Liangdong, I also had his help, which was an arm, responsible for commanding one of the two wings for me, and making a contribution to our army. It was only defeated by Sun Jian in the Battle of Yangcheng. Sun Jian is a masterpiece of a generation, and his defeat at the hands of Sun Jian is not his incompetence, and I am afraid that others will be defeated. After the defeat of the army, more than 2,000 cavalry under his command were lost, and the soldiers had no desire to fight, so they went to Luoyang to defect to me. After the end of the Luoyang War, because of the defeat of the Yang people, I asked my father for guilt, and then he has been staying in Chang'an City to standby! It's just that there is no news now, I'm afraid it's still in Chang'an City. ”

Hearing this, Li Ru nodded, and said: "That's true, when Taishi was framed by Wang Yun, the army was in a hurry to get out of the city with the body of Taishi, and after I told Guo Yan at that time, I was also anxious to go to Hedong. On the way out of the city gate, he met Hu Zhen. At that time, he had been demoted to the rank of lieutenant and stayed under Dong Huang, and when he met me, he already knew about the Taishi, so he wanted to leave Dong Huang and lead his soldiers and horses to escort me to the main guild. I watched his behavior and didn't seem to be cheating, so I let him stay in Chang'an City for future events. Now is the critical moment for the attack on Chang'an City, and this person comes in handy. ”

Dong Shouye pondered for a while, then asked, "What news did Hu Wencai come from the city?" ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, and said: "According to his book, Wang Yun Lao'er has released Cai Zhonglang's father and daughter back, and the two are safe for the time being. Hu Wencai said that he was willing to do everything possible to rescue Cai Zhonglang's father and daughter and keep the two safe. In addition, you can agree on a date code, and the inside should be combined with the outside, and the city gate will be captured. ”

Dong Shouye thought for a while and asked, "Is this person trustworthy?" ”

Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "This person has been following the Taishi to fight in the south and the north, he was pulled out by the Taishi, and he is the confidant of the Taishi, and his character is trustworthy, so the lord doesn't have to worry about it!" ”

In fact, it's not that Dong Shouye doesn't trust Hu Zhen, it's just that this matter is a matter of great importance, and it is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers. If the losses are too heavy, it will also be quite detrimental to the situation that follows. The reason why Dong Shouye has been in a bad situation these days is because he doesn't want to lose too many troops during the siege, lest the strength in his hands not be enough to control the future situation.

Generally speaking, in war, it is safest for a dignified army to capture a city by virtue of its strength, and it is very risky to take advantage of opportunism, and it must not be done unless it is forced to do so.

Dong Shouye looked at Li Ru with a straight expression, and said: "In this way, I will contact Hu Zhen in the city, come to the inside and outside, and capture Chang'an City." ”

When Li Ru heard this, he immediately went down to handle the matter.

Early in the morning of the second day, Dong Shouye summoned the generals and said: "Today's siege will be carried out according to the established plan. Remember to have some spare strength, if things go well, tonight or again! ”

It can be said that this is half hidden and half hidden, and smart people can hear what is in the words at once, but since the leader did not say much, it is inconvenient to continue to ask.

As a result, the siege was still carried out decently, and the army was ruthless, so that the defenders in Chang'an City were crying for their fathers and mothers, and they were crying bitterly.

It was night, and the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City were tired and overwhelmed.

In Cai Yong's Cai Mansion, there is still a little light, I am afraid that Old Man Cai has not rested yet.

There were dozens of sergeants outside the gate of the mansion, surrounding Cai Fu to prevent Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter from absconding, and this group of people was arranged by Wang Yun. Although Wang Yun is very generous on the surface, he greeted everyone's invitation to release Cai Yong's father and daughter, and he looked like an adult with a lot of appearance. In fact, he didn't take it lightly at all, and was always on guard against Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter, for fear that if they were not careful, an oversight would let these two people take advantage of the loophole, escape from Chang'an City, and go to Dong Shouye, and that one would have made a big mistake.

Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter were free in the mansion, but they were not allowed to go out and walk, and their friends and relatives could also visit the mansion, but every qiē was carried out under the close supervision of Wang Yun.

To put it simply, all of them are in Wang Yun's hands.

The night of the Han Dynasty was extremely dark, there were no street lights, there was no moon at night, and I couldn't see my fingers.

In front of the main gate of Cai's mansion, two sergeants stood outside the door with stubbornness, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Although it was dark, the sergeant on guard was still defensive, looking around from time to time to see if there was anything suspicious.

After all, it is a dark night, even if you want to see the distance clearly, it is only in vain, and the only thing you can see clearly is the darkness.

Suddenly, two slight noises pierced the silence of the night, and the two guards guarding the door of the mansion fell in response.

Several figures quickly approached the fallen guard, confirming the breath of the fallen guard. After making sure that the guard was no longer breathing, the man in the lead learned to bark.

Immediately afterward, there were dozens of figures at an extremely fast speed, thinking about the approach of the mansion gate, and such a situation was constantly happening around the Cai Mansion. In an instant, the guards around Cai's Mansion were all cleaned up.

The leader asked his subordinates to put on the clothes and armor of the guards, hold the weapons of the guards, and still guard in front of the door, while the others climbed over the gate and courtyard wall to enter the Cai Mansion.

After the leader entered the mansion, he quickly arranged it, and then directly led some people to Cai Yong's resting room, but it seemed that he was very familiar with Cai's mansion, and he had obviously put in a lot of effort before.

When the leader entered Cai Yong's room, Cai Yong had already woken up and shouted: "Who is visiting late at night, I don't know what you are doing?" ”
