Chapter 543: Shen Xuecai left the city
Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai took the soldiers to patrol the streets. After passing through Guangtai's teahouse, Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai went upstairs to rest and drink tea.
Guangtai was discussing things with his subordinates in the teahouse, and when he heard that Meng Wenliang was coming, he came to greet him. Guangtai retreated left and right, and sat alone with Meng Wenliang and Shen Xuecai.
"Brother Meng, Brother Shen, is there any trend of easing the situation between our Yizhou City and the imperial court now?" Guangtai wants to get close to the two of them, and then take action against Zhang Fa.
"Your sworn brother has the final say, and we are at the beckon. You didn't ask him about the situation? Meng and Shen wanted to find out what Guangtai really thought, so that they could take the next step.
Guangtai avoided the important and light, "You are the most powerful celebrity next to my brother." You don't know, and I'm not qualified. Guangtai sighed. A round of probing on both sides.
"As a businessman, from the bottom of my heart I don't want to go to war, because we are often the first to be injured." Guangtai continued to sigh, he really thought so.
"As soldiers, we are here to protect peace, not to create incidents that undermine it." Meng Wenliang sighed.
The tone of the two sides is somewhat in tune. The second round of testing yielded some results. "Zhang Xing was a victim of the war, and when he heard that the two brothers were reunited on the battlefield, they immediately said goodbye. Sadly, this is a human tragedy. Guangtai sighed.
Today he was particularly emotional. Meng Wenliang heard the soldiers of Yizhou City mention Guangtai, and they all said that he was righteous and squandered money. Meng Wenliang; "As a soldier, it is my duty to defend my family and country. I don't want to make a big move, and it's best to turn it into a hostility. ”
Guangtai Shili said: "Brother is a true hero, not for selfish interests but for righteousness. Guangtai still didn't dare to deliver his sincerity easily, because behind him was the lives of a single family of 100 people.
In the past few days, Liu Ye and Shi Xiong have used the tactics of attacking the heart, constantly shooting arrows and sending leaflets to the city, warning the residents of the city to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, and open the city gate to let the imperial army enter the city.
The people do not hold the fault accountable, only the leader. After the three-day deadline, if the gates are not opened, the city will be attacked. The people talked a lot in private, and people's minds were shaken, including the will of the soldiers in the barracks.
Xue Shang formulated a battle plan in the camp tent. If Liu Ye and Shi Xiong attack, how to lead the troops to resist? The soldier came in and reported: "General, the engineering truck outside the city has started." ”
Outside the city, tall construction trucks were throwing boulders into the city, and a pedestrian walking on the street was hit by a sudden stone and fell to the ground injured. People in the streets were in a mess and scrambling to hide.
Xue Shang stepped out of the camp tent and climbed the city tower, and the guards beside him dissuaded him: "General, you are too dangerous here, let's go down." ”
The rocks crackled and smashed on the top of the city, not far from Xue Shang's side, and soldiers rolled down from the city tower. Xue Shang took a bow and shot arrows towards Liu Ye's camp.
The guards also shot arrows, and the lieutenant led the soldiers up to the castle tower to shoot arrows. Ten thousand arrows were sent towards the Willow Leaf camp. The density and speed at which the stones are thrown is greater and faster. Liu Ye instructed the soldiers to shoot arrows at the city with rockets.
The rockets landed on the thatched houses, setting them on fire, and many of them were ignited and the flames spread throughout the city. The citizens panicked, trying to avoid the rocks and extinguish the fire.
Feng Jiao led the maid to Xia Yu's Firefly Pavilion stronghold. It's secluded and secluded. Feng Jiao carried the city defense map in her arms and handed it to Xia Yu. The Weaver Girl sent Feng Jiao back to the house and came back with Guangtai.
Guangtai took the city defense map back to his residence, found Meng Wenliang, and said to him straightforwardly: "I have a subordinate, can you find a way to get him out of the city?" ”
Meng Wenliang asked: "You can tell me bluntly, what are your subordinates going to do when they go out of the city?" ”
Guangtai: "Send the city defense map out." ”
Meng Wenliang; "Okay, I can help you."
Guangtai handed over the city defense map to Meng Wenliang, and Meng Wenliang took the city defense map, folded it carefully, and put it in his arms.
"However, it's not your people who will send it, I'll take care of it." Meng Wenliang looked at Guangtai with a frank look.
Guangtai refreshing road; "Okay, I believe Brother Meng."
Meng Wenliang strode away without much explanation. Guangtai's unconditional trust made Meng Wenliang feel a little incredible. You must know that the city defense map is a high-level military secret. Guangtai handed it over to himself without defense, and he was not afraid to take this to invite credit.
Meng Wenliang returned to the barracks and called Shen Xuecai to his camp, "Look at this." Meng Wenliang took out the city defense map and handed it to him.
Shen Xuecai was surprised; "Where did you get it? You go out of town to deliver the blueprints, and I'll cover you. ”
Two people have the same idea, and they both want to fulfill each other and keep the danger to themselves. Meng Wenliang said decisively; "You go out of the city, and I'll take care of the rest. I'll cover you. ”
Shen Xue knew that this matter was very important, and he didn't say much, so he discussed it with Meng Wenliang and left the barracks.
The two took their guards to patrol the streets. Finding a relatively weak place in the fortification, the two climbed the city tower, took advantage of the cover of the night, Shen Xuecai tied a rope around his waist and climbed down the city wall.
He landed, Meng Wenliang estimated that he would go down and threw the rope from the city. A person came down from the city tower, and Shen Xuecai put away the rope and ran towards the opponent's position quickly.
The torches in the camp on the opposite side were bright, and they saw a figure running in their direction, "Stop, who's who?" ”
Shen Xuecai stood up obediently, "I'm here to ask to see Liu Ye and Shi Xiong." There is important news to report to them. ”
The guards rushed up with knives and tied up Shen Xuecai. Shen Xuecai was captured, and the sword was also collected by the other party.
The guard reported to Liu Ye: "General, there is a general running from the enemy outside, and there is something to report to the general." ”
Willow; "Bring it in."
The soldiers pushed Shen Xuecai, who was tied up. Liu Ye and Shi Xiong looked at it, it was an acquaintance Shen Xuecai. Liu Ye personally stepped forward to untie Shen Xuecai.
"Brother Shen is here, it's not strange if the younger brother doesn't know."
Shen Xuecai was not polite, and directly took out the city defense map, "General, take a look at this Yizhou city defense map." ”
He was anxious, wishing that Liu Ye would lead the troops to fight in now, and Meng Wenliang would be more than lucky. If he came out by himself, would he be able to escape?
"General, hurry up and attack the city. Meng Wenliang was more than lucky, he asked me to leave the city and stay in Yizhou City by myself. Shen Xuecai said anxiously.
Willow took his hand and comforted; "I can understand Brother Shen's mood, you have a good night's rest first, I think tonight, Xue Shang will not find anything wrong. Tomorrow we will build a ladder to siege the city. Now we know where the weaknesses of Yizhou City's defense are. Tomorrow we will attack from this position. ”
Shen Xuecai; "I'll work with you to formulate a battle plan, after all, I still have a say in the specific details."
Shen Xuecai couldn't sleep peacefully, his brother was still in the city, and tomorrow, maybe tonight Xue Shang would find him defecting out of the city.
"Do you know Shan Guangtai?" Jiang Yao asked him.
