The sky was already dark, the city wall was brightly lit, but Dongfang Xian, who was leading the team to inspect, was a little uneasy, and in just a while, he had already looked at the river in the distance more than a dozen times.

In the distance, there are torches on the big river, and dozens of boats, large and small, are approaching from the upstream, with the crimson Han army flag fluttering on the bow, followed by a small flag with the word "Zou" written on it.

Approaching the port of Suxian, the men on board shouted neat slogans and paddled hard to turn the ship into the port. As soon as the ship approached the port, the small workers who had been waiting in the port for a long time rushed up and jumped on the board of the ship one by one to take the sacks.

"Head, today's Zou family's fleet is a little strange, usually there are seven or eight, and at most there are only a dozen. Today's frame is really big enough, good guy, why do you have more than 30 boats, will there be a problem? A thin lieutenant turned around and looked over the river to the east.

One of the people next to him smiled disapprenously; "Little third son, you haven't seen the world before, this is a big formation, a fleet of fifty or sixty big ships on the river in the past few years is a common thing. Isn't there a war coming to war these days, once the war is fought, the river will definitely be blocked, and the Zou family has no goods at that time, so don't people hurry up to buy the goods, what's the fuss. ”

The lieutenant who was called the junior son nodded, and still said with some unease; "But General Zhou didn't give a strict order, more than ten ships must have his own letter, should we tell you."

The man pursed his lips with some disdain and said; "You're too bold, what's going to happen here, could it be that Qin Jun can still hide inside? Even if it is hidden inside, how much can it be hidden, you must know that we have a full army of 10,000 in Fei County, and it is okay if the Qin army does not come, and if they come, they must all be boiled dumplings. You have to know that the people are the Zou family, and they are relying on the King of Han, and the relationship can lead to the sky, so you have to run to General Zhou to tell General Zhou that you are bored, and you must be the one who suffers in the end. ”

The little third son shrank his head when he heard this, and seemed to be a little afraid, but there was still a worried look on his face, so he wanted to speak again. saw Dongfang Xian's face sinking in front of him, and said unhappily; "Shut up for me, the people above naturally have arrangements and have already greeted me. We're just in charge of the city's defense, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

A group of people responded with a bang: "No." ”

Dongfang Xian glanced behind him and shouted; "Zhou Yang."

"Yes." The lieutenant who was arguing with the little third son just now stood up.

"You go to the dock to inquire about the situation, see if the Zou family's paperwork is complete, and then report to General Wang and Cao County."

"No." That Zhou Yang shouted the order, turned around and walked down the city wall, and after a while, he had already asked to return.

"Head, I have already asked clearly, the leader of the team is the third son of the Zou family, saying that it is a batch of pottery transported from Daliang, and the documents are complete. Mom, the third son's attitude is really arrogant, he didn't look at me directly, I just asked a few more words, and he sent someone to bomb me off the boat. ”

The little third son, who was beginning to be ridiculed by him, gloated and laughed; "Of course, people are people, just like you said, it has a relationship with the sky, that is, General Wang has to be polite when he sees him, how can he take it in his eyes when we are a big soldier. It's already an honor to have a few words with you, be content. ”

Dongfang Xian didn't hear his words, just looked at Zhou Yang and asked; "Did you send someone to report to General Wang and Cao County?"

Zhou Yang nodded, "I just sent someone." ”

"That's good."

It stands to reason that Cao Tong is the largest county in the county, and the county lieutenant Dongfang is second. But because of the tense war, the general Zhou Bo sent the deputy general Wang Ling to take charge of the defense of the county, so Cao Xiang and Dongfang Xian moved their positions backwards and became the second and third children, so Dongfang Xian naturally needed to report to them if he had something.

It's just that Wang Ling and Cao Yan are not people who can endure hardships, and when they saw that the weather was cold, they naturally didn't want to blow the wind in the city, so they threw all the defense to the county lieutenant Dongfang Xian, and went back to sleep by themselves.

Dongfang Xian's eyes swept over, and when he saw Zhou Yang's left hand under his sleeve quietly making a gesture, his heart suddenly became clear. hesitated for a moment before speaking; "Little third son, your people were on duty the night before and last night, and today you will have a night off, go back and rest."

The little third son was overjoyed when he heard this, and all the soldiers were overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and dispersed nearly half of them in a blink of an eye, and each went back to the camp.

Treating fewer people, Dongfang Xian waved back again, leaving only Zhou Yang alone.

"How many people came?"

Zhou Yang looked around vigilantly and whispered: "There are thirty-five boats, more than 1,600 people, most of them are hidden below the deck, and they are all the elite of the Qin army. ”

Dongfang Xian frowned, and said with some annoyance; "It's only 1,600 people, but the defenders in the city are not less than 10,000 people, even if I can control more than 2,000 people and horses in my headquarters, it is more than five times that of the Qin army, what are the Qin people thinking, it is difficult to take it as child's play."

This matter has put down his net worth, and if he fails, his fate can be imagined, so Dongfang Xian does not dare to be careless.

Zhou Yang shook his head, "I don't know about this, I asked the person who took the lead, and he said that there are still people in the city who will help us succeed, so let's just act according to the plan."

The corners of Dongfang Xian's mouth twitched, he was stunned for a while, and then he slowly spoke: "In this way, we are not all their bargaining chips, this Han Xin is really cunning." ”

Zhou Yang shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent look; "Whatever, if it can be done anyway, my parents gave birth to us once, it's a pity that we don't have to fight for wealth."

Dongfang Xian sighed, his heart full of taste.

He didn't mean to betray the Han army, at least he hadn't thought of it before.

He is just an honest officer, who has been in the army conscientiously for more than ten years, from the Qin army to the Qi army and finally to the Han army, relying on stability to climb to the position of county lieutenant step by step. Dongfang Xian didn't have any ambitions, he was very satisfied with the status quo, and he didn't want to block the names of the whole family for wealth, in his opinion, there was no difference between the Qin State and the Han State.

But when he was young, he injured a rich kid because of his willfulness, and the rich family colluded with the government to punish him for a serious crime, but he knew in advance and escaped. On the road, he got acquainted with a Tao family master, the two were of similar age, and they were very speculative, and gradually became acquainted, and later the director helped him erase this charge through the Tao family's relationship, and Dongfang Xian was grateful to him since then, and regarded him as a benefactor of recreation.

He didn't expect that this benefactor would come to the door now, hoping that he could do something for Qin Jun. Since Engong proposed, he naturally had no reason to refuse, plus the title and fame promised to him by Han Xin were really tempting, even if he killed countless people on the battlefield, he was destined not to receive such a reward.

But when the real thing came, Dongfang Xian actually hesitated a little, and his face was cloudy.

Zhou Yang on the side looked a little anxious and urged; "Head, give the order quickly, I'm afraid it will be delayed if it's too late."

Dongfang Xian still had doubts on his face, clenching his sword for a long time and couldn't make a decision.

Zhou Yang suddenly knelt down and said loudly; "Head, don't hesitate to look at it, we've already done half of the thing, even if we retreat temporarily, it will definitely be revealed afterwards, and then we will be really finished."

Obviously, Zhou Yang's last sentence moved Dongfang Xian, his body shook, and he suddenly came to his senses.

There is no reason to turn back from the arrows that are shot, where is the regret that things have been done, if you do it now, there is at least half of the certainty of success, if you retreat from the battle, you will inevitably die a miserable death.

Dongfang Xian roared in a low voice; "You take your men to solve the city gates, and I am in charge of the city walls, do it."

"No." Zhou Yang jumped up from the ground and responded with excitement on his face.

Dongfang Xian and Zhang Yang have been officials in the county for many years, and there is no shortage of henchmen and close friends, especially Dongfang Xian, he is honest and easy-going, has a high prestige in the soldiers, and his subordinates are also willing to get along with this superior.

Because of the fear of startling the snake, Dongfang Xian transferred most of the soldiers who could not be controlled by the general to return to the barracks to rest, and only his henchmen and personal soldiers remained in the East Gate City. Just after the time of the child, Dongfang Xian's henchmen had already taken action and hacked to death the prison army and pro-army sent by Wang Ling on the east gate. Immediately, a bonfire was lit at the head of the city, and the east gate was opened to prepare to welcome the Qin army who had smuggled in.

Seeing this, the Qin army, which had already controlled the dock outside the city, quickly formed a team to kill, and did not stop at all after passing through the east gate, but went straight to the county government in the center of the city. On the way, it was discovered by the Han army patrolling the night, and there was a chaotic battle, although all the Han troops were killed, but they also leaked their whereabouts, and the alarm sounded in the city for a while.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, the Qin generals who led the team were fortunate to play the banner of the Qin army and stormed towards the county government with great fanfare, but they were met with fierce resistance from the Han army, and the two sides were staggered in the city and sacrificed their lives to fight.

Although the Qin army is all elite and extremely brave, these Han troops are also the elite of the Han army, and the number of people is far more than the Qin army, and they have gained a firm foothold under desperate resistance, but they have carried out fierce counterattacks again and again, and the Qin army has gradually fallen behind.

At this moment, a fire suddenly ignited in the city, and soon spread to most of the city, obviously someone deliberately did it, and Wang Ling, who was in a hurry, had no choice but to draw out some of the troops in his hand to extinguish the fire. At this time, a large number of barefoot rangers with swords suddenly appeared in the city, swooping towards the county government, all of them were strong in martial arts, and the Han army was not their opponent at all.

By dawn, the fire that had been burning all night had been extinguished, and the city had been controlled by this advance team of the Qin army, and 10,000 Han troops had either surrendered or died, and the main general Wang Ling and the county commander Cao Yi were also captured in the chaos, and most of the remaining routs fled from the city.

On the river, the earth-shattering banner covered the river, and a large number of ships of the Qin people continued to transport teams of neatly dressed soldiers across the river.

PS: I was so tired last night, so I slept in advance and didn't update, sorry. Alas, it's really uncomfortable when it's cold
