Chapter 2 Fraudulent Surrender
Zhang Liao immediately sent several personal soldiers to contact Cao Jun, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others. Soon after the Long Xiang army set up the defense of the royal city, the elite cavalry tiger army led by Cao Xing also entered the royal city to help Zhang Liao defend the royal city.
Lu Chen went to the back house, asked his mother Yan and Erniang Sanniang to quickly pack up their clothes, and instructed them to abandon a piece of gold and silver wealth and only bring what was necessary. The three mothers were a little frightened at first, and then saw that Lu Chen was commanding, and they cried with joy without any stupidity, especially Lu Chen's biological mother Yan was the most sad, but it took Lu Chen a lot of effort to comfort the three of them.
Then, Lu Chen instructed his sister Lu Qi: "Eldest sister, you have divided the three hundred servants of the Lu family into two teams, one team is responsible for preparing the necessary items and carriages and horses for evacuation, and the other team is responsible for security with blades. All the servants and maids in the back house, if there are escapees, kill. If there is a thief, kill. If there is any nonsense, kill. β
Lu Qi has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has a domineering personality, but at this time, she saw that her younger brother had completely changed as a person, especially the three consecutive killing words, and she faintly had a father's bearing, which made her shudder a little. Stunned, Lu Qi reacted, and knew that this was not the time to ask about his brother's changes, so he took the order and left.
In fact, Lu Chen just pretended to be forced to kill people according to the tone in the TV series in later generations? He really didn't think about it, but he just felt that at this moment, the pig's feet with the spirit of the king seemed to have to say this. In other words, Lu Chen just said that he could pretend, and if he really wanted to let him carry a knife to kill people, it was estimated that nine times out of ten he would be scared to pee.
After Lu Chen arranged his family, it was already past noon, and he came to the main hall in front of the royal city to sit in the town, and now he is the backbone of this royal city.
After a while, Zhang Liao and Cao Xing came to the main hall, and Lu Chen beckoned the two to sit down and asked about the situation outside.
Zhang Liao said: "It is said that except for the south gate where the monarch is located, the rest of the gates have been broken, some generals have surrendered, and some have been killed. Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead two Qingzhou soldiers to besiege the royal city and make us surrender, and the attack has not yet begun. The number of these two Cao armies was as high as 8,000, while the Long Xiang army led by Liao only had more than 1,000 people, and the Tiger Ben army led by General Zhimou (Cao Xing) was only more than 1,000 people. Our troops are insufficient, and both of them are cavalry, and they are not good at defending the city, and once the fight starts, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch it. β
Cao Xuan muttered: "Then ride on the horse and rush out to kill!" β
Zhang Liao said: "Now the most important thing for the two of us is to protect the safety of the family of Jun Hou, waiting to meet Wen Hou, it is not appropriate to start a war rashly." Moreover, Xiao Junhou already has a plan, so let's wait and talk about it first. β
Cao Xuan didn't speak, seeing that Lu Chen had changed his demeanor and looked quite capable, Cao Xuan also believed that Xiao Junhou was really well, so he grinned at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen asked Lu Zhan to pour tea for the two generals, and he also pretended to drink tea slowly, but his hands were a little shaky. But at this time, even if he is pretending, Lu Chen has to endure the fear of being calm, if he is messed up, a general like Zhang Liao will naturally not be affected, but it is difficult to say that a single-celled animal like Cao Xing is more likely to be affected.
There are many cattle in the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Jun has many amazing talents, and he doesn't know whether Lu Chen's crude strategy will work. So, he can only wait.
"Newspaperβ"
A small school ran into the main hall and arched his hand: "Yu Xiaojun waits." The rebel general Wei Xu came to speak to General Zhang. β
Hearing this, Cao Xing slammed a few cases, jumped up and shouted, "Wei Xu Xiao'er still dares to come?" Watch me shoot him to death!" As he spoke, he ran towards the outside of the hall, saying that Cao Xing's archery skills were very superb, chasing Lu Bu, and the eye of the one-eyed Xiahoudun was blinded by him.
Lu Chen stopped Cao Xing: "Uncle Zhimou, be slow, don't offend my distinguished guest, hehe." β
Cao Xuan almost jumped up, and shouted with his teeth and claws: "Wei Xu's betrayal of the lord to seek glory, why did Xiao Junhou stop me from killing him?" β
Lu Chen didn't explain, and smiled at Zhang Liao: "Uncle Wenyuan, it's up to you next." β
Zhang Liao got up and bowed his hand to Lu Chen: "Bo Chao rest assured, Liao will definitely live up to the trust." "After that, he went out to see Wei Xu, Zhang Liao and Lu Chen both knew that Wei Xu must have received a message from his own soldiers and came to surrender.
After about a cup of tea, Zhang Liao came back, laughing with a happy face: "Bo Chao, the big thing is done, do you know who Wei Xu was assigned by?" β
Lu Chen said: "Isn't it Cao Cao?" β
Zhang Liao shook his head: "Cao Cao is taking Xu Chu Zhu to attack Jun Hou in Baimen Tower in Nancheng, and now Cao Jun is Guo Jia who is responsible for subduing our army and pacifying the people, so it is Guo Fengxiao who sent Wei Xu." Liao Fang said to Wei Xu, I saw him surrender to Cao Cao, and I was also a little moved, and now I have controlled the family of Jun Hou, captured Cao Xing, and is preparing to surrender to Cao Cao. But I have one condition, Cao Cao must not infringe on the family of the monarch. Wei Xu listened, and really persuaded me not to stand up for the monarch's family, but I insisted that Cao Cao promise first, and then be willing to surrender, and at the worst Guo Jia personally agreed, Wei Xu is now going back to report to Guo Jia. The two divisions of the dragon and the tiger led by the general of Liaohe Zhimou are the most elite cavalry units under the king's account, and Guo Jiahui wants to come in person. Liao heard that although Guo Jia had defected to Cao Cao not long ago, he was deeply used by Cao Cao, if he could catch him......"
"Guo Jia?" Lu Chen had a headache, but he was also relieved, fortunately, there was such a commander as Zhang Liao, otherwise, where would he have fun?
Lu Chen's strategy was to let Zhang Liao pretend to surrender, and ask the other party to negotiate in person under the pretext of asking Cao Cao to promise not to harm Lu Bu's family. As long as you catch this person, you can use this person to blackmail Cao Cao. And the heavier this person, the better, Guo Jia is naturally the best candidate, but the ghost Guo Fengxiao is not so easy to deceive.
Although Lu Chen was a little jealous of Guo Jia, he also knew that there was no way out, so he said, "Tie up Uncle Zhimou, they should come soon." β
Zhang Liao nodded and called two pro-soldiers to tie up Cao Xing. He knew that Lu Bu's son and family were very attractive to the current Cao army, and the most attractive were the two cavalry in the three armies of Wushuang under Lu Bu's account, Long Xiang and Hu Ben. Therefore, the other party will definitely not procrastinate.
Cao Xuan was still unclear about the situation, and said, "What are you kidnapping me for?" β
At this point, Cao Xuan was still at a loss, which made Lu Chen and Zhang Liao laugh.
Lu Chen said: "I am going to let Uncle Wen Yuan pretend to defect to the enemy, deceive the other party's general, and then capture the other party and use it to blackmail Cao Cao." β
Cao Xuan sighed at this time, but he still looked a little ignorant.
Soon, a junior colonel came to report that Guo Jia, the priest of the Air Force Division, had come and asked Zhang Liao to go out to speak.
Zhang Liao asked his soldiers to escort Lu Chen and Cao Xing to follow him out. Zhang Liao didn't go to the tower of Wangcheng, but directly opened the city gate, and only brought four personal soldiers to escort Lu Chen and Cao Xing and walked out of the doorway. The pro-soldiers escorted Lu Chen and Cao Xing to stop outside the door, and Zhang Liao hugged his fists alone to meet him.
The two sides are separated by a distance of one zhang and stand still.
On the opposite side, a group of brightly armored Cao Jun separated, Cao Ren and Wei Xu stood up on the left and right, and then a young man dressed as a scribe walked out.
The young man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and when he saw Zhang Liao coming alone, he smiled and said, "It's General Wenyuan?" I am Yingchuan Guo Jia. β
Zhang Liao said: "It is Zhang Liao, I want to surrender, but I can't bear to see the old master being harmed, so I ask the military advisor to promise to spare Xiaojun's life." Behind me is Jun Hou's only son, whose mind is crippled, and his intelligence is deficient, Liao hopes that after the Sikong Lord is lowered, Sikong can treat Xiao Junhou well. "Cao Cao is currently an official worshipping Sikong, so he is called Sikong.
Your sister! Isn't it brain-dead if the brain is crippled?
Lu Chen muttered a few words in his heart, but he couldn't express it, he knew that as long as he got Guo Jia, it would be enough to make Cao A hide the mouse.
Lu Chen had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, so he smirked at Wei Xu on the other side, his mouth was crooked, and he said, "Hey, Uncle Jizhang, are you here to play with me?" β
Wei Xu smiled contemptuously, but did not answer. Cao Jun's soldiers all laughed, and the laughter was naturally Lu Bu's stupid son, who was stupid like this. Wei Xu said something in Guo Jia's ear, it was nothing more than that Lu Bu's son was an idiot and a fool.
Guo Jia looked at Lu Chen, Lu Chen was looking around with a confused expression, Guo Jia naturally did not suspect fraud, after all, everyone knew that Lu Bu's son was a fool. Guo Jia smiled at Zhang Liao and said, "Wenyuan is loyal!" Jia was deeply impressed. Jia promised that if General Wenyuan came to surrender, Jia would guarantee the safety of Xiao Junhou with his life. β
Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Xie Junshi, Liao is willing to lead his troops to surrender to Lord Sikong." β
Guo Jia saw that Zhang Liao actually made this big gift to himself because he promised to spare Lu Bu's son's life, and even sighed at Zhang Liao's loyalty, so he took a few steps and came to Zhang Liao two steps in front of Zhang Liao to help Zhang Liao up, and said, "Wen Yuan, please get up quickly." Torment me! β
Cao Ren also brought a few personal soldiers to follow Guo Jia closely, personally guarding him.
Lu Chen's original intention was to let Zhang Liao surrender with him, attracting Cao Cao's henchmen to discuss the conditions, and then, Zhang Liao knelt down and thanked him and said that he would surrender, and the other party would definitely come out to help Zhang Liao out of politeness, and Zhang Liao would have a chance to capture the other party. This is also the reason why Zhang Liao was so happy after learning that the person who came was Guo Jia, because Zhang Liao felt that this plan was a bit risky, if the other party came to a general, he was not completely sure to catch it, after all, the other party still had his own soldiers to follow, but against a scribe like Guo Jia, it was nine times out of ten.
It's just that there is a little situation at this time, I don't know if it is out of caution or because of the literati and light generals, Guo Jia did not really help Zhang Liao, but supported him in two steps. Zhang Liao was very close to Guo Jia, but he didn't make a move, because Guo Jia was next to Cao Ren and a few personal soldiers, and there were Cao Jun all around, so he was not sure.
Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, stood up with a smile, grabbed Lu Chen and said, "Bo Chao, haven't you thanked the military advisor for his grace?" β
Lu Chen saw that Guo Jia was not in contact with Zhang Liao, and his heart was also tight, but after listening to Zhang Liao's words, he also instantly understood what Zhang Liao meant, and said that Zhang Liao was really not a reckless man. Then, Lu Chen knelt down on one knee in the same way as Zhang Liao had before, and said stupidly: "Bo Chao, oh, Chen, Xie, thank you for that military advisor-"
