Chapter 161: Thunder moves, the east gate has fallen
No one knew that Yuan Shao's fate was decided in the midst of the discussion of everyone in the room.
Jia Xu came in a hurry, and he walked in a hurry, and there was heaven to escort him along the way, Zhuge Jin was also relieved. In the two days after Jia Xu left, the land of Xu Nan fell into a rare silence, and Zhuge Jin's army did not call for battle, but arranged the army to begin to surround Xiapi, and in two days, it was stationed on three sides, leaving only one door in the south.
Compared with the quiet outside the city, the city of Xiapi is turbulent. After the two muttered, they were ready to send troops to raid Cao Bao's mansion and control Cao Bao's family first, so they were not afraid that Cao Bao would not agree to the words of the two. Capture the thief and capture the king first, the two of them acted like this was originally good, but it was a pity that Cao Bao refused to Rong that night, so he secretly sent his family to the east of the city, and sent 30,000 private soldiers to the east of the family, and suddenly the extra 30,000 people suddenly enriched the east of the city, plus the place controlled by the Chen family before, nearly half of the place in the east of the city was secretly controlled by the two families, and it was the Chen family who came forward.
That night, Xiapi City was shrouded in a shouting of killing. In Cao Bao's mansion, 50,000 private soldiers are scattered on weekdays, and 30,000 people disappeared without attracting the attention of others.
When Di Rong and Que Xuan brought thousands of soldiers over, facing the Cao family's mansion that was ready for battle, they immediately knew that the news of the matter discussed by the two had leaked out, and they couldn't care about attacking each other.
30,000 against 20,000, Cao Bao's private soldiers have a house as a support, and the terrain is small, it can't be spread, and no one on either side has any benefits. Chen Gui's method is very simple: if you fight you, my Chen family will not participate, if you help defend the city, the Chen family is duty-bound, if it is civil strife and killing, the Chen family will not accompany you. Not only did the two of them fail to find fault, but even the people in the city applauded one after another when they heard it, and they immediately shattered the extravagant hopes in their hearts. Before Zhuge Jin's army began to attack, the city was already in chaos, and the people in the city began to worry about the upcoming war.
On the second day, Cao Bao and Di Rong reached an agreement: Cao Bao allowed private soldiers to be sent out to assist in defending the city when the city was in danger, and Di Rong no longer attacked the Cao family, and allocated a radius of one mile near Cao's mansion to Cao Bao's private soldiers, and the two sides were at peace.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just dawning and gradually cooling, the city was covered with a layer of dew, and the soldiers on duty at night twisted their damp armor, and their old faces were stretched very long.
"Damn, this ghost weather ......" The time before dawn is the time when people are most sleepy, and the soldiers at the head of the city are standing staggering, dozing off, looking very quiet, and a dissatisfied muttering sound suddenly spreads far away.
"Trampling on the ......" a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded, obviously different from the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers, in this quiet night, it seemed to be extraordinarily loud, the night guard was full of excitement, from the state of half-asleep and half-awake to wake up.
"Huh? ......As soon as the soldier opened his eyes, he saw Chen Gui and Cao Bao walking side by side, and he couldn't help but shout, but Chen Gui waved his hand to stop him.
"How? Is there any movement under the city? After a while, the small school guarding the city at the head of the city rushed over when he heard the news, and Chen Gui asked him.
This small school was originally a side branch of the Chen family, named Chen He, and was later favored by Chen Gui, renamed Chen Zhong, and supported him to obtain the position of the primary school guarding the city, and Chen Gui's plan was to be implemented through him.
Chen Gui spoke, Chen Zhong didn't dare to slack off, bowed down and replied, "There is no movement yet." Then he carefully looked left and right, and said softly: "The head of the family can rest assured, Zhong has sent people out of the city to inform the outside of the city of today's action, it is just dawn at this time, and it is only a moment to start." ”
"What's going on in East Side right now?" Chen Guiyu was a little reassured, and after listening to what Chen Zhong said, he continued to ask.
"Now that Dongcheng is in our hands, with the help of General Cao's army, all the details arranged by Zhenrong in Dongcheng have been controlled, and the defenders at the head of the city have all been replaced by henchmen, in order to prevent fish from slipping through the net in the army, Zhong hid five thousand soldiers on Dongmen Street, even if Zhenrong learned the news, it was enough to resist for a while." After some arrangement, it was done very properly, Chen Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was a matter of family survival, so he couldn't be careless. Now it seems that this Chen Zhong is still a shrewd person, among the Chen clan masters, except for his son Chen Deng, there is no one who is incapable of outstanding, it seems that in the future, he will have to cultivate people with outstanding abilities in the branch.
Cao Bao's strength is not counted in Zhuge Jin's camp, but it is one of the best in Xiapi City, which shows that Tao Qian has no generals in his hands, and on the other hand, it also highlights the Cao family's status in Xiapi City. Although Cao Bao is a military general, he is very smart, he knows what he should do and what he should not do, seeing that everything is ready, and there is the treacherous and cunning Chen Gui in the city, so he said to him: "There is Mr. Han Yu here, then there is no need to worry about trouble, so I will go back first, there are more women and children in the family, and there will be a war, and a certain person needs to sit at home." ”
With the Cao family's 50,000 private soldiers to support the east gate, even if Cao Bao is not here when the city is broken, the credit of the Cao family will not be erased, Cao Bao is naturally not worried in his heart, and his original intention is to protect the family, and then find a good family for his daughter, his wish is convenient, for him, what is the battlefield, horse leather shroud, that is not what he yearns for in his heart.
"General Cao, don't worry, although the old man is old, my Chen family is not bullied." Speaking of this, Chen Gui couldn't help but think of what the two of them had done before, and his face couldn't help but be full of anger.
When Cao Bao saw it, he smiled secretly in his heart, you Chen Gui is not a good bird, compared to Zhen Rong and Que Xuan, Chen Gui is even more difficult to deal with, but fortunately, the Chen family is also invested in Zhuge Jin, and in the future, as a family, the entanglement of interests will be connected in one place, and there is no need to worry about being calculated.
After separating from Chen Gui, Cao Bao went back to his home, gathered the people in the family together, and then told everyone about the war, instructed them not to go out, and instructed the family to guard the house and not let people in.
Outside the city of Xiapidong, a large number of soldiers were prostrate on the ground, motionless, covered with some weeds and other covers, and by the dark night, they could not see the situation here clearly.
"Squeak......" at the city gate, a sound came, accompanied by a continuous creaking sound, the drawbridge was put down little by little, a person stood on the side of the drawbridge, shook the torch left and right three times in his hand, and then extinguished the torch. In a few moments, a torch suddenly lit up in the darkness on the opposite side, and repeated it according to the signal released in the eastern city.
"Let's go, let's go!" On the ground, a general jumped up first, looked through the moonlight, and found that he was still young, handsome and extraordinary, but if he looked closely, it was Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun is young and has unlimited potential, as a member of Zhuge Jin's favorite general, Zhuge Jin also spent a lot of effort to cultivate him, and this time he gave him the merit of leading troops to attack Xiapi City.
With Zhao Yun's order, in the dark night where there was nothing to see, figures came out one after another, and thousands of people walked out in a moment. Zhao Yun marched this time and brought 8,000 foot soldiers first, these people are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are all the elite of the elite. Although there were many people, the sound of the march of the army was inaudible, as if it were one person.
"But the lord is here?" At the city gate, Chen Gui personally greeted him, and after seeing Zhao Yunnai's general's outfit, he asked him very respectfully. Zhao Yun is young, even if he doesn't know who Zhao Yun is, but he doesn't dare to underestimate all the performances of Zhuge Jin in the account that day, the housekeeper informed him meticulously after he returned, and even the slightest action was not let go, Chen Gui admired Zhuge Jin in his heart.
"A certain general, Zhao Yun, has seen Chen Gong." The person who went to report the news outside the city happened to be by Zhao Yun's side, and after seeing Chen Gui, he whispered to Zhao Yun to explain Yunyun to him, and when he saw Chen Gui, Zhao Yun did not dare to slack off, and bowed to Chen Gui with full etiquette.
"General Zhao!" Neither of them was in a hurry, but bowed up at the gate of the city.
"With the lord's army behind, is the situation in the city stable? When the lord sent the last general, he first controlled the city gate to prevent the counterattack of Zhenrong. Zhao Yun didn't procrastinate, and said directly to Chen Gui.
"This is the guard Chen Zhong." Chen Gui pulled out a person next to him, said to Zhao Yunshu, and then turned to Chen Zhong and said: "Zhong'er follows General Zhao to control the city gate, General Zhao's words are orders, and everything is under General Zhao's orders." ”
"Yes, Master!" Chen Zhong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded, so he took Zhao Yun to the city, along the way, Zhao Yun replaced all the places he passed with his soldiers, and covered each other everywhere, and controlled the city gate step by step. When Chen Zhong saw it, he was impressed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, as an important chess piece in Chen Gui's chessboard, he still knew a lot of news.
"Wang Fang, you take two thousand soldiers, advance a hundred steps forward and stop, and stay in place." After entering the city, Zhao Yun instructed Wang Fang, who followed him, to lead his troops to guard Dongcheng Street first.
"No!" Wang Fang should go down, and when he was about to leave, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and it was very slight at first, not that people with keen spiritual sense could not detect it, and after a while, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from outside the city, and Zhao Yun and Wang Fang's faces suddenly showed joy.
