Chapter 122: Digging a Tunnel Again

"Lord Han, our 50,000 horses have been besieging the city for seven days, and we have spent a lot of food, grass, money, and grain, but we are still under the city of Yangzhou. Where do you mean guilt? Didn't you say that you are going to break Yangzhou as easily? Ben Shuai doesn't have much food and grass, Lord Han, you can think of a way for me - more will be able to attack Yangzhou City, give me a letter of approval! "Outside the west gate of Yangzhou City, the commander's tent sat Qu Shuai Chen Defeat, Wan Bing, and an old acquaintance Han Xuan was also sitting in it, talking with a bearded Qu Shuai Chen Defeat, they agreed at the beginning to occupy the small county town first, and then gradually occupy the county town, and finally attack Yangzhou City in one place, and whoever breaks through Yangzhou City first will be in charge of everything in Yangzhou. Originally, when they first gathered people to attack the county seat, they were also overwhelmed, and when they hit Changsha County, they met this Han Xuan, who claimed to be the former Taishou of Yangzhou, he said that he knew Yangzhou City well, as long as he broke through Yangzhou City and captured the current Yangzhou Taishou, then the other counties only needed a piece of official documents from Yangzhou Taishou to surrender.

Chen Yu and Wan Bingyi heard that this idea was good, but they were a little difficult, Changsha County they surrounded it for two days, built a good ladder and the suggested city breaking hammer, and only needed an order to conquer Changsha County, and Han Xuan saw that they were hesitating, so he gave them the idea to send someone to scold the formation first, and kill the morale of the people in the city, so that the morale in the city is low, isn't it easier to break through Changsha County? It is best to make the guards inside frightened and automatically give up resistance to Kaesong and surrender. The idea was good, Chen Wei and Wan Bing both thought that Han Xuan's idea was good, and the two of them were unwilling to lose too much of their troops, so they agreed to Han Xuan's proposal.

After the discussion, the next day just dawned, Chen Defeat, Wan Bing arranged for their soldiers to have a full meal and then drove the army to Changsha County to call for battle, Changsha County's inner city defense county soldiers plus some errand soldiers and other people with official positions added up to less than 5,000 people, in the face of the dense Yellow Turban Army surrounded outside the city, they still dared to go out to fight, they were careful to guard carefully on the battlements at the head of the city.

The little marshals of the Yellow Turban Army below in order to compete for merit in front of Chen Defeat and Wan Bing, and all the officers and soldiers on the city tower shrank behind the city head, making them more unscrupulous, and gradually approached the distance of two hundred steps under the city, and greeted all the eighteen generations of ancestors of the old and young in the city, and the scolding was called a pleasure! How do you know that Huang Zhong, the captain stationed at the west gate, was annoyed, raised his treasure bow and pulled out an arrow from the quiver, slammed a deep sink, pulled the bowstring fiercely, and the bow and arrow flew out with a "brush-" sound, only to see Huang Zhong then draw out another arrow and shoot out, the second arrow just shot out Huang Zhong did not stop, and shot seven arrows in a row before he put down the bow in his hand. The soldiers at the head of the city were shocked by Huang Zhong's seven-star arrows, and they all poked their heads out to see if Huang Zhong had hit.

The bow and arrow were as fast as lightning, and the little handsome, who were still immersed in the joy of scolding, suddenly found that they had an arrow stuck in their neck, and they could see the arrow feathers that had not entered their throat shaking, and the little handsome's voice stopped abruptly. This was just the beginning, and the remaining six arrows pierced the throats of the six of the fiercest little marshals who scolded them, and the seven corpses landed one after another with a click.

The battlefield suddenly quieted down, and the little marshals of the Yellow Turban Army, who were still shouting just now, hurriedly turned their horses' heads and retreated, and waited until they were five hundred steps away from the city before they stopped.

Seven marshals died at once, which made Chen Defeat and Wan Bing very angry in their hearts, and they were about to order the siege of the city and take Changsha County at all costs, otherwise these newly integrated armies under their command would be dispersed. At this moment, as soon as the other party made a move, he killed the seven little marshals on his side, and a sense of fear began to permeate the camp. Chen Yu and Wan Bing are rough people, and there is no good way to see this, so they can only find Han Xuan to discuss again.

Han Xuan didn't think it was strange that the little marshal of the Yellow Turban Army was killed, how could he not die in a war - but he could only say these words in his stomach, the frustration of Changsha County just gave him an excuse to attack Yangzhou City, and he proposed to bypass Changsha County first, occupy all the surrounding small counties, and then go directly to Yangzhou to capture Zhou Yu alive. Now they don't take the initiative to attack Changsha County, and they don't dare to come out and take the initiative to provoke them, taking advantage of this opportunity to take a few county towns can restore the morale of the Yellow Turban Army, and second, they can supplement their own supplies, otherwise tens of thousands of horses and horses will eat and drink a day is a huge number. As for attacking Yangzhou City, he thought that he had been operating in Yangzhou for many years, and he had some hardcore followers, since he stepped down, these people under him were not reused by Zhou Yu at all, and the interests that originally belonged to them were gradually divided by others, and now that Han Xuan is back, they are naturally 120,000 percent willing to help. With these conditions, Chen Yu and Wan Bing didn't have any good ideas, so they could only follow Han Xuan's advice and go south to Yangzhou to capture Yangzhou City. Han Xuan not only helped Chen Xuan and Wan Bing come up with ideas, but also sponsored them a batch of armor and weapons, as well as thirty war horses and five thousand taels of silver.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph—Zhou Yu'er, you have to settle the revenge with you now for killing my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and wife—" After Han Xuan persuaded Chen to defeat them and turn around to attack Yangzhou City, he finally did something that was satisfactory to him. Since he met Zhou Yu in Yangzhou, he has not been smooth, he went to Luoyang alone to find a relationship to bring down Zhou Yu, but he spent money to find a way to find a way to finally meet Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, the son of Sikong Mansion, the two brothers gave themselves the idea that they were spending money to hire assassins or stirring up mountain bandits to kill Zhou Yu, who knew that Zhou Yu was like knowing things, and arrested all his family in one fell swoop. The two uncles of the Yuan Mansion saw that their money was about to run out, and the matter was not done, so they excused themselves not to see him, and no one was willing to help when they went to find others. He wanted to hold a handful of Shichang Waiters to let them stinky feet, but these dog eunuchs only recognized money and did not recognize people, and the money in their hands could not make them tempted at all, and there was no way for their families to save themselves. When he came back, he made a detour to Jingzhou, and just after Changsha County, he encountered the Yellow Turban Army besieging the city, he observed for a few days and found that this was a group of brainless thieves, and it was easy to deceive them, so he risked being killed and hooked up with the Yellow Turban Army.

"The two marshals are a little restless - when they were in Yangzhou as Taishou, they dug a secret passage in the Taishou Mansion, and the exit of the secret passage was in the Taishou Mansion. Now that our troops are coming to the city, all the officers and soldiers in the city must be on guard at the head of the city, and the guards in the Taishou Mansion will be empty. It's better for us to open up the secret passage into the city, and at the same time contact the internal response in the city, and we can also try to let our soldiers feint to attack Yangzhou City, and we will definitely be able to take Yangzhou City in three days with a three-pronged approach. "Being questioned by Chen Yu, Han Xuan has no choice, but he remembered that the previous secret passage is estimated to be still usable, although it was exposed last time, but it is impossible for the other party to seal all the secret passages, and he still remembers the exit outside the city before, as long as he can dig up this secret passage, he will be able to take Zhou Yu by surprise, and he can also rescue his family members by the way.

"Where's the secret passage? Why didn't you say it earlier? Is it sincere? Chen Yu looked at Han Xuan with some displeasure.

"In a secret place at the south gate, it was used once before for the assassination of Zhou Yu, and it was estimated that it was sealed later! I also just remembered that now you can dig directly to the Taishou Mansion along the way, even if the secret passage is sealed again, it is impossible to die without a trace, maybe this is an opportunity! Han Xuan hurriedly explained.

"Okay - second brother, let's go and have a look, if what he says is true, then let's send someone to dig the tunnel secretly! Let's go—"
