Chang Xuan wrapped the written letter in oiled paper, handed it to Chang Liu's hand, and advised: "You must be careful, if you are discovered, swallow the letter." ”

"Don't worry, sir! No matter how strict the city defense is, Chang Liu can easily touch it out, and he will definitely not be discovered. Chang Liu said confidently.

Chang Xuan nodded and said easily: "Okay, you go!" Go early and come back early. ”

"Yes, sir." Chang Liu saluted slightly, and after speaking, he stuffed the oiled paper wrapped in the letter into his mouth, turned around and walked out of the hall, and touched it in the direction of the city wall.

After Chang Liu left, Wang Yi and Chang Xuan discussed for a while, and Wang Yi got up to say goodbye and returned to his mansion.

To say, this Chang Liu, worthy of the rooster and dog thief, the terrain of Chengdu and the patrol track of the soldiers in the city are well understood, in the night of the curfew, can easily avoid the layers of patrolling Shu soldiers, touch the edge of the city wall, and then, quickly find the culvert leading to the outside of the city, and endure the pungent smell, from the culvert to the outside of the city, and then go straight to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

######

In the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Hua An was still thinking about the siege plan for the second day in the big tent of the Chinese army, at this time, it was already early days, and most of the soldiers had already rested.

"Big brother, haven't slept yet?" Just as Hua'an was thinking about how to reduce casualties, Wang San strode into the camp.

Hua An nodded and asked softly, "Wang San, it's so late, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Big brother, we caught a sneaky man in black, it looks like he should be a spy. It's just outside the tent. Wang San immediately replied.

"Quick, don't come in yet."

"Yes, big brother." Wang San answered, turned around and said, "Quick, bring people in." ”

Soon, the man in black who was caught was pressed in and knelt in the tent of the Chinese army in Hua'an.

Hua An looked at the man in black in front of him, frowned, and asked, "Who are you, sneaky." What are you doing outside our barracks? ”

The man in black looked at Hua'an. looked at the Chinese army's big tent, which was quite luxurious, and felt that Hua'an should be the general of the Jin army, so he spit out the oil paper in his mouth. The head of the jaw said: "The villain is often six." On the orders of my lord. came to send a letter to General Hua, and dared to ask the general what it was. After speaking, he looked up at Hua'an.

Hua An looked at the oiled paper spit out by the man in black and understood that this person was indeed delivering a letter. So, Zhengse said: "This general is Hua'an, the chief general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who is your master, what you have in your mouth is a letter!" ”

When Chang Liu heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "The villain Chang Liu visited General Hua, my lord is the Han Scattered Cavalry Chang Chang Chang, this evening, I specially asked the villain to see off the general, and this piece of oil paper is wrapped in a letter written by my lord himself." As he spoke, he opened the oil paper, took out the letter inside, and held it with both hands to dedicate it to Hua'an.

Hua An got up, took a few steps forward, took the letter in Chang Liu's hand, opened it gently, and read it silently.

"Our army returned with a crushing defeat, and the main force suffered heavy losses, this Li Shi is really good at bragging! Ha ha! Hua An looked at it and laughed.

"Big brother, what's going on, the main force of our army is fine, and only less than two hundred soldiers have been killed in battle?" Wang San was puzzled and hurriedly asked.

Hua An smiled and said softly: "It has spread within Chengdu that the main force of our army has suffered heavy losses, and the Shu army has won a great victory, even Lord Chang Xuan thinks so." ”

"Hehe, big brother, this Li Shi is simply covering his ears and stealing the bell! Storm the palace tomorrow and see how he blows. Wang San said loudly.

Hua An smiled slightly, looked at Chang Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, helped him up, and said softly: "Little brother has worked hard, you go down to rest first, eat something, and wait for Ben to study for a while, I will give you a reply, go!" After speaking, he waved his hand and asked a personal soldier to accompany Chang Liu to rest.

"Yes, General." Chang Liu answered, and under the leadership of Hua'an's own soldiers, he turned around and left the big tent of the Chinese army.

After Chang Liu left, Hua An looked at Wang San and said softly: "Wang San, don't you think this is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ”

"Big brother, you make it clearer, I don't understand it." Wang San obviously didn't quite understand what Hua An meant.

Hua An smiled, pointed to the letter in his hand, and said softly: "Can we let the soldiers of the Shu army who surrendered to our army join forces with the outside, so as to easily seize Chengdu, as long as there is an internal response, it should be easy for our army to break the city!" ”

"Big brother is right! We have received so many letters of surrender, and there are many soldiers of the Shu army in them, as long as we want to threaten with the letters, they dare not disobey. Wang Sanxi said.

Hua An hurriedly walked into the back tent, put a large stack of surrender books on the case, and then selected more than a dozen letters from the soldiers.

"Two battalion masters, three brigade commanders, and the rest are all team leaders, although the officers are smaller, but they all control the army, as long as these people are the internal response, tomorrow's siege will be extremely smooth." Hua An looked at the book in front of him and analyzed it carefully.

"Big brother is right, then let's write a letter!" Wang San expressed his support for this.

Hua'an took out a pen and paper and wrote a reply to Chang Xuan, first indicating that the army under his command suffered slight losses and that the main army had not suffered heavy losses, in order to stabilize Chang Xuan's confidence in the Jin court, and then asked Chang Xuan to gather more than a dozen Shu army generals according to his own requirements, and in the afternoon of tomorrow, go to the direction of the east gate, and join forces with the Jin army outside the city to capture the east gate.

After writing the letter, Hua An called Chang Liu over, handed the letter in his hand to Chang Liu, and whispered: "This letter must be handed over to Chang Liu, and it must not fall into the hands of others, you know!" ”

Chang Liu patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, general!" I am familiar with the terrain inside and outside Chengdu, and the soldiers defending the city will not be able to find me. ”

Hua An patted Chang Liu's shoulder and said softly, "It's not early, go back quickly!" Be careful on the road. ”

"Yes, General." Chang Liu answered, turned around and left the big tent of the Chinese army, and ran in the direction of Chengdu.

After Chang Liu left, Hua An looked at his back and said softly: "I hope Chang Liu can deliver the letter safely to Chang Xuan's hands, so that in tomorrow's siege battle, our army's losses will be greatly reduced, and the hope of capturing Chengdu will be much greater." ”

"Big brother, don't worry! Li Shiqi is exhausted, and in a battle tomorrow, our army will definitely be able to capture Chengdu. Wang San said loudly.

Hua An nodded and said, "It's not early, you go back and rest!" Early tomorrow morning, prepare for the siege. ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang San answered, turned around and walked towards his camp.

In Chang Xuan's mansion in Chengdu, because he was very worried, Chang Xuan did not rest, but paced in the lobby, looking anxious.

"Master, the villain is back." At this moment, Chang Liu touched into the lobby.

"How's it going, has the letter arrived?" Chang Xuan asked nervously.

Chang Liu took a breath, took out the oil paper in his hand, and replied truthfully: "Master, the villain has seen General Hua, this is a reply from General Hua to you, please take a look, Master." As he spoke, he opened the oiled paper and took out the letters inside.

Chang Xuan took the letter in Chang Liu's hand and read it carefully.

When he saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army was not seriously injured, but only lost more than a hundred people, his heart was a lot easier, but when he saw that Hua'an asked him to contact the soldiers in the city and prepare to cooperate with the Jin army to attack the direction of the East Gate, Chang Xuan's heart became nervous again.

Now that the city is already under martial law, if you blatantly invite more than a dozen generals into your mansion, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, and if you don't do what Hua'an said, the consequences will be stricter.

For this reason, Chang Xuan is anxious, he doesn't know what to do, it seems that no matter what he does, there is a great risk.

"Master, is there anything Chang Liu needs to do?" Seeing that Chang Xuan was anxious, Chang Liu, who was a subordinate, was also anxious, and he wanted to share his worries for his master.

Chang Xuan sighed, looked at Chang Liu, and said softly: "Chang Liu! This is a letter written by General Hua to Master Ben, take a look! As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Chang Liu.

Chang Liu hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself: "Master, this is a major event written by General Hua to the master, Chang Liu, as a subordinate, how can he read it casually?" ”

"Chang Liu, you are the henchman of this master, it doesn't hurt to take a look, take a look." Chang Xuan insisted.

Chang Liu took the order, took the letter, read it carefully, and said with a fist: "The villain knows, the master is worried that inviting more than a dozen soldiers late at night will arouse the suspicion of others." ”

Chang Xuan sighed and said: "That's natural, this master is just an idle job, and he invites people from the army to come to the mansion in the middle of the night, once he is discovered, he will naturally not be able to clear the suspicion of rebellion!" ”

"Master, in that case, as long as you don't get discovered by others, it's okay." Chang Liu whispered.

"It's easy to say, the current situation, the curfew is so strict, more than ten people go to the old man's mansion, how can it not arouse suspicion? Also, at this moment, what are these people doing? If you are on duty, don't you leave your post without permission? Chang Xuan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, sir, the people in the army are agile and will not be so easy to expose their whereabouts, as long as these ten people do not arrive at the mansion at the same time, it is not easy to arouse suspicion, and also, for safety reasons, the main entrance of the mansion cannot be opened, so that everyone can enter through the back door and side door." Chang Liujian yì road.

Chang Xuan nodded and said softly, "Okay!" It seems that this is the only way, and the task of informing the soldiers will be handed over to you. ”

"Don't worry, sir, the villain will be notified of everything." Chang Liu said, turned around and strode out of the lobby, walking in the direction of the barracks. (To be continued......)
