Chapter 530: The Change of Xuzhou (I)
They are from Bingzhou, forcibly recruited by Li Ru, and there are a small number of soldiers of the Xiliang Army in the army, as long as they are united, there is no possibility of welcoming the Xiliang Army outside the city into the city, but after a glance at the soldiers who are constantly patrolling, this thought can only be quietly bred in the heart, and there are still many soldiers in the army who are loyal to Li Ru, always monitoring the army, and reporting to Li Ru at any time.
The first attack, to be able to achieve such an effect, to Jia Rong is that victory is in sight, if it is a continuous attack for half a month, the momentum of the defenders can be completely disintegrated, not to mention that the Xiliang army still has a crossbow cart and other sharp weapons have not been played.
Outside Pengcheng, Cao's attacks have been repeatedly frustrated, they don't have the thunderbolt and the wells like the Xiliang army, just the cloud ladder, which makes the Cao army a little big, not to mention that it is such a huge object as the well, how much iron needs to be consumed to complete, but the thunderbolt also won a certain advantage for the Cao army, after all, the thunderbolt was originally proposed by Cao Cao, and compared with the thunderbolt of the princes, it naturally has brilliance.
The ladder was strong, and the soldiers of the Cao army who climbed the ladder were more or less at ease, and this psychological advantage also allowed them to speed up the pace of attack.
Attacking the city wall again and again, being repulsed again and again, Cao Cao suddenly felt that Guan Yu was not only a general, but also a wise general, looking at the entire Cao army, I am afraid that there are very few people who can compare, and he even faintly doubted that the side that Guan Yu showed before was not pretended.
In Pengcheng, there are already two major families in the dark to Cao Jun, Cao Cao's day and night siege is just to make Guan Yu overwhelmed, to facilitate the actions of the family in the city, the real deadly attack is also the family in the city, any strong city, is from the inside of the dilapidated, there will always be people who cherish their lives and status.
Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family, wanted to take refuge as early as the initial Cao Cao attack Pengcheng, and had a correspondence with Cao Jun, when Cao Cao also promised not to embarrass the Chen family after breaking the city, but Liu Bei's arrival changed all this, and the town guarded Pengcheng, the secret plot of the Chen family and Cao Cao became empty talk, Chen Qi was not in a hurry, on the one hand, let Chen Deng enter the official office, and on the other hand, he contacted Cao Jun, he knew that Cao Jun would definitely attack Pengcheng, during this time, the Chen family was even more accumulated, in order to do great things, of course, in Xuzhou is decent, You can't see what's wrong.
Although Liu Bei's governance of Xuzhou is well organized, it is not the case in Chen Deng's view, there is no strong army in his hands, it is not enough to protect the property of the family, how powerful the Mi family was at the beginning, he is still forced to leave, he does not want the Chen family to repeat the mistakes of the past, if the master of Xuzhou is the Xiliang Army, Chen Qi will definitely let Chen Deng try his best to assist, in order to bring greater profits to the family, Jia Rong suppressed the family is not fake, but it is able to provide a safe and fair environment, will not do anything deliberately oppressive, incapable, and be gradually eliminated, There are no complaints, although Jia Rong's previous reputation is not so good in the whole world, under the tempering of time, many families have found that it is not as legendary after doing business with Chang'an.
The family has walked out of the gossip from the officialdom, looking at the entire Han Dynasty, which businessmen have not traded with the Xiliang Army, even if there are no rare materials such as moonlight cups and fairy love, Chang'an will still become the commercial center of the Han Dynasty, the scale has been reached, no one can replace it in a short time, Chen Qi is a little envious of Mi Zhu's foresight, looking at the world, the princes who can reassure this old man may only be the Xiliang Army, followed by Cao Jun, as for Liu Bei, it is just a temporary auxiliary object.
The Zhao family has moved closer to the Chen family, expressing their willingness to send thousands of private soldiers to help the war, and the Chen family's 1,000 private soldiers plus the Zhao family's 1,000 will definitely be able to achieve miraculous results under Guan Yu's surprise, and welcome the Cao army into the city in one fell swoop, becoming the hero of the Cao army.
Jiang is old and spicy, after Chen Jue saw Guan Yu's martial arts, he did not have a short-sighted view that this mutiny could be successful, the strength of the patrol soldiers in the city, and the unusually strict guarding of the city gate, after many days of observation, Chen Jue also found some changes in the generals guarding the city gate, and found out the law from it.
Li Han is a gatekeeper general in Pengcheng, which kind of lowly official position belongs to in the army, if it weren't for the war, I'm afraid the army wouldn't know that there is a person like him, there are wives and children at home, Li Han also wants to keep Pengcheng, but a small person like him, it is enough to have food and clothing, and the guards at the city gate don't have to worry that Cao Jun outside the city will be able to kill him directly through the wall, secretly rejoicing in his luck, what haode is there when he becomes a general, and he has to run on the city wall, and he is unlucky that a stray arrow can take his life away, these days, However, corpses continued to be carried down from the city wall, and the usually high-spirited generals turned into cold corpses, which still touched the soul a lot.
"General Li, it's late at night, where are you going?"
After a while, Li Han turned around, mainly because General Li made him uncomfortable listening to "What's the matter?" ”
"Someone wants to see General Li, I wonder if General Li can appreciate his face?"
In the dark night, Li Han couldn't see the man's face clearly, thinking that he was just a small gatekeeper, and there were only more than 100 commanders, so what did it matter if he followed to see it, anyway, it was time to rest.
As soon as his left foot stepped into the door, Li Han felt that he was so old-fashioned, the layout of the house could be described as magnificent, unknown furs, expensive tables, and a large table in the middle, a table of wine banquets was set up, and the dishes on it were completely said by Li Han when he was bragging with the soldiers in the army, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, Li Han glanced at the house, and wanted to go forward to eat and drink in spite of the image, and his cautious personality made him not move the food and wine casually.
After the man sent Li Han to the door of this house just now, he stood outside the door with his hands tied in his hands, without even looking into the house.
"General Li, please take a seat!" Chen Jue got up and said.
Li Han's nerves became a little sluggish, and he didn't know what to do for a while, mainly because he was too dirty, and entering such a house was undoubtedly a waste, and it was only when Chen Qi pulled him into the house that Li Han reacted in a daze.
Chen Qi looked at Li Han's reaction and had a great confidence in Jihua's success.
"General Li, this is a wine from Chang'an, taste it and see if you can enter it." Chen Qi said.
The corners of Li Han's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, this is wine, a bottle can be sold for 10,000 yuan, at this time, what is floating in Li Han's mind is not wine but piles of rice grain, with this money, how many white steamed buns can you eat, he resisted the urge to take the wine away in his heart, picked up the expensive moonshine cup, and sent it to his mouth, when he saw that it was Chen Qi, a trace of vigilance in his heart turned into a cloud of smoke, the Chen family is a big family in Xuzhou, what does it matter if he eats him, It's a big deal to sell him more than 100 catties of meat.
"General Lee?" Chen Qi said.
"Ahh Excited, Li Han almost threw away the moonlight cup in his hand.
"What's the matter?" Li Handao.
"I have heard that General Li is a rare general in the city, and he has made meritorious contributions in guarding the city gate, and the old man is deeply grateful, and he has a special banquet for the general today." Chen Qi said with a sincere face.
Li Han was already shocked by the luxurious scene in front of him, nodded sneeringly, and began to fight with the food on the table, standing on the post for a day, he was already tired and hungry.
After a long time, Chen Qi saw that Li Han had consumed a table full of delicacies, and secretly smacked his tongue, "General Li? Are you satisfied? ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, I hope you forgive me for the gaffe!" Li Han thought of his eating appearance, and felt very unsightly, and the person who can invite someone to eat such a meal at will is definitely not an ordinary person, not something he can offend, and secretly hates himself for being too greedy.
"What time does General Li guard the city gate every day?" Chen Jue's words got to the point.
"Ugly!" Li Han replied truthfully.
"Ugly?" Chen Jue muttered secretly, "At that time, it was when all the soldiers were sleeping, if you take the opportunity to open the city gate, the big thing can be decided." ”
"Does General Li know General Cao?" Chen Qi asked.
"General Cao? In Xuzhou, I have long heard of the prestige of General Cao, and in the past, I led the army to meet Cao Cao, and I was extremely brave. Li Han's face was full of flattery.
"Definitely!" Chen Qi's face was straight: "The general Cao I am talking about is Cao Cao outside the city, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty." ”
"Cao Cao? Isn't he going to attack our Pengcheng? What does he do? Li Han asked.
Chen Jue was depressed in his heart, it was really difficult to talk to these nervous generals, so he simply said directly, "General Li, the old man just wants to help Cao Cao capture Pengcheng, and the general guards the city gate, and you need to cooperate with it, open the city gate when it is ugly, and welcome Cao Jun into the city, I don't know if you have the guts?" ”
The cold sweat on Li Han's forehead when he heard it, he didn't dare to think about this kind of rebellious thing, he knew that he wouldn't eat this meal, the more than 100 soldiers under his command didn't accept him, I am afraid that as soon as this matter is said, he will be sent to Guan Yu immediately, although the position of the gatekeeper is not high, there are not a few pretenders, and there are not many people secretly staring at him.
"My lord, this is not good, the kid has no military power, and he is powerless!" Li Han wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Chen Jue sneered: "Why should General Li be so timid, I don't know how to get paid if you don't pay for it, just like today's meal, you can't earn so much as a gatekeeper in your life, and as long as you cooperate with General Cao and open the city gate, you can become a general in the army, you can eat and drink, and you know the secret of the old man, how can you leave easily, General Li should think about it." ”
Li Han was stupid, and he thought for a while before he smoothed things out, Chen Qi's words were not without temptation, a goalkeeper like him, he couldn't advance an inch in his life, his martial arts were sparse, and he couldn't pay attention to it, and although Chen Qi's strategy was vicious, it was the fastest way to get to the top.
