Chapter 249: Red Cliff Changing Hands

Chapter 249: Chibi changes hands

Zhuge Ke hung a hundred-mile sword on his waist, rode a tall horse with a snow-white body, and led the army to the outside of Chibi City. His outfit and his handsome appearance are indeed very eye-catching. If Liu Hou saw it, he would definitely be envious and jealous, and slapped him off the horse with a bamboo pole, and then scolded: "Let you learn from my Fourth Uncle Zhao to play Prince Charming." ”

It is said that the hundred-mile sword on his waist is also famous, and it belongs to one of the six swords of Wu. Legend has it that the founding emperors of the Three Kingdoms each had their own sword. Among them, Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Shu, once ordered the master craftsman Pu Yuan to collect the fine iron of Jinniu Mountain and cast it into the eight swords of Shu. His sword was three feet six inches long.

One of them Liu Bei kept for himself to wear, and the others were given to the prince Liu Chan, the king of Liang Liu Li, the king of Lu Liu Yong, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. After Liu Bei's death, Liu Hou naturally took his sword as his own, and the two brothers Liu Li and Liu Yong committed crimes and were exiled, and their two swords were also taken back by him. So now there are four of the eight swords of Shu in Liu Hou's hands.

Cao Cao also has several swords, one of which is called Mengde, the same as Cao Cao's words, the sword is engraved with gold inscriptions, and the inscription says: Mengde, three feet six inches, dedicated to the emperor Jian'an for 20 years, and obtained it in the valley. This sword engraved with the word Cao Cao treasured it as if it were his life sword.

In addition, Cao Cao also has two swords, one is called Yitian, which is the same as the Yitian sword in Old Man Jin's novel, both of which are swords that are broken like clay, which is Cao Cao's usual sword. The other is called the Qingyu Sword, which was rewarded by Cao Cao to Xiahouen, and in the Battle of Changbanpo, Zhao Yunqi entered and exited Cao's camp seven times, and snatched this sword from Xiahouen's hand, which became his sword.

Emperor Wu Sun Quan also has six swords, which are named as Baihong, Purple Lightning, Evil War, Meteor, Qingying, and Baili, and the names are very mysterious. However, Sun Quan was more stingy, except for the Qingying Sword to Lu Xun and the Baili Sword to the crown prince Sun Deng, he was reluctant to take out everything else, and kept it all for himself.

This time Zhuge Ke came out to gild, and the crown prince Sun Deng temporarily lent the Baili Sword to Zhuge Ke in order to buy people's hearts. As the crown prince, he could not personally lead the troops to fight, so he used Zhuge Ke as his spokesperson, and used this unique sword that could represent the identity of the prince as a token, so that the generals could see the sword as if they saw the prince in person, making everyone feel that they were also fighting with everyone.

In addition, this sword also has a role, that is, when Zhuge Ke came forward to win over the generals in the army on behalf of the prince, this sword can be used as a token of the prince to increase the persuasiveness. Of course, this kind of behavior of wooing the generals in the army can only be carried out quietly, if he dares to do it blatantly, Sun Quan will know about it, and there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

However, no matter how gorgeous Zhuge Ke's outfit is, no matter how handsome and chic his appearance is, it can't change the fact that he is blocked from Chibi City like a two-hundred-and-five. He dressed like a prince charming and went outside Chibi City, but unfortunately the people he saw were all big men, whether it was the Eastern Wu naval army reinforced behind him, or the soldiers standing on the city wall, they were all pure masters.

Not to mention the girl nearby, there are no female animals, no one cares whether he is handsome or not, and no one cares whether he is literary or not, even if he screams outside the city gate, he still eats a closed door.

"General, it seems that the situation is not good, at this time, how can the city gate be closed? And the general came on order, how could they be so lazy, something must have happened in the city. An adjutant general walked up to Zhuge Ke and whispered to him.

"Hmm. We're camping outside the city for the time being, and we're sending scouts to find out the news, and we'll make further plans when we hear the news. "Zhuge Ke is not a fool~ melon, of course he knew that something had happened in Chibi City, so he ordered the large army to find a favorable terrain to camp.

There was indeed a change in Chibi City, Guan Suo had arrived here a day earlier, and the army had rested for a while, and when it was night, it began to attack. Chibi is just a small town, and it is impossible for ordinary towns to have city walls, but Chibi is the place where Zhou Yu once stationed troops and grain, so there is a low city wall. But this low and thin city wall didn't work at all in front of the Shu army.

Generally, the city walls of counties are very high and thick, and it is very difficult to blow them up with black fire ~ medicine, but this kind of town-level city wall is very thin, and the width on the city wall is only for two people to walk side by side, such a width is no different from paper paste in front of the fire ~ medicine of the Shu army. Although Guan Suo's troops are still mainly cold weapons, that means they don't have many fire~guns, but there are still some thunderbolts and explosives~ medicine packs.

Guan Suo has also been with Liu Hou for a while, and he has a little understanding of the siege methods of the Hong army, so he copied the siege methods of the previous Hong army at this time. At night, Guan Suo ordered his men to launch a feint attack on one side of the city wall to attract the attention of the defenders of Eastern Wu.

Then he found a place with weak defense and relative darkness, let the soldiers wear black night clothes, sneaked under this city wall, quickly dug a hole with a sapper shovel, and buried a large number of explosives~ here, and then, needless to say, the officials can also guess, boom, the thin city wall was blown down by a large ~ piece.

Guan Suo did not hesitate to wave his army into the city. The army of 20,000 tigers and wolves faced 5,000 frightened defenders, and there was no suspense in the result. Half of the 5,000 Dongwu troops were annihilated and half were captured, because Guan Suo arranged men and horses outside the city gates in advance to intercept the Dongwu soldiers who fled from the city, so that all the 5,000 Dongwu troops were wrapped in dumplings, and none of them escaped.

There was no fish that slipped through the net to report to Zhuge Ke, so he didn't know that Chibi City had changed hands, and now his surname was Liu Bu's surname Sun. And what Zhuge Ke saw was that the soldiers standing guard and patrolling on the city wall were actually pretended to be Shu soldiers wearing Eastern Wu military uniforms.

Since they were already wearing the military uniforms of Soochow and pretending to be Soochow soldiers, why didn't they take any further action? That's because Guan Suo is still struggling with what to do next, and as a result, he missed an opportunity to take advantage of information asymmetry and set up an ambush to severely damage Zhuge Ke's army.

Guan Suo actually thought of imitating what Liu Hou had done in Jingzhou City, introducing the Eastern Wu army into the city and setting a trap to eliminate it. It's a pity that Chibi City is too small, and there is no urn city, so it is difficult to trap 20,000 Eastern Wu troops. Moreover, the Shu army had just captured the city at night, and now the city has not been completely controlled, and a large amount of military power is still scattered in the city to maintain law and order.

Another reason is that the soldiers are exhausted after fighting all night, and it is difficult to drive them to fight another big battle. If you do this forcibly, maybe it will not be good to control it, and it will be easy to lure the enemy into the depths to turn the fake into the real and turn it into luring the wolf into the house.

Based on the above reasons, Guan Suo hesitated, and he was entangled in whether to give them a ruthless blow when the Eastern Wu Army had not yet discovered that something had happened in the city, or to stick to the city and fight a protracted battle with the Eastern Wu Army.

As a result, as soon as he hesitated, the opportunity was missed, Zhuge Ke had already sensed that something was wrong in the city, and did not dare to enter the city rashly, but looked for favorable terrain outside the city to set up camp, and sent scouts to collect information. It is impossible to hide such a big thing as the change of ownership of the city, so Zhuge Ke quickly knew the true picture of the matter~ and secretly congratulated himself that he did not act recklessly at that time, otherwise he would definitely be gnawed by the Shu army in the city and there would be no bones left.
