Chapter 17: The First Plan to Break the City

A day later. Yue Feng led a thousand county soldiers to rush to the north of the river, only to see the city gate closed from afar, there were guards, Yue Feng silently prayed, hoping that the green butterfly action would go well, if it didn't go well, once the garrison entered the county, then his own two thousand people, maybe he couldn't beat this city for a lifetime.

At the same time, Yue Feng saw a reflective signal on the city wall, and knew that Green Butterfly had killed the dozen or so guards. And temporarily took control of the North Gate. The sergeant rushed forward quietly, and when he reached the north gate, everything went well. The soldiers of the wind entered along the north gate with a crack open, and immediately dispersed with a team of 100 people to occupy the other four gates and the county capital. When Yue Feng saw Green Butterfly, Green Butterfly said that there were not many people in the county government, and all of them had been quietly subdued.

Yue Feng was once again impressed by the green butterfly, her ability far beyond his imagination.

In less than half an hour, Yue Feng rushed to the south gate and found that Xiang Yu had already controlled the south gate, and he could see the garrison in the south of the city from a distance, and it was quiet and unusual. The green butterfly raises a Kong Ming lantern made by Yue Feng himself. And ordered the south gate to be wide open, the soldiers crouched on both sides, and a few clever people were left on the city to trick the garrison into entering.

Half an hour later, the southern garrison camp could be seen being raided by two groups of soldiers. The wind signals that it is ready to begin. Xiang Yu immediately ordered his subordinates to make a loud noise, creating the illusion that the county town was being beaten, and ordered a small group of his troops to pretend to attack the county seat.

Sure enough, the garrison of the south was no longer entangled, and immediately led the troops to break into the south gate, and the leader of the general saw that the two fighting soldiers had been killed for a long time, and there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, so he ordered the soldiers to break through and attack the attacking soldiers. When the south gate was not closed, the leader felt something strange, and the two groups of soldiers in front of him stopped and returned, and a large number of soldiers with bows and crossbows surrounded him, and the raiders behind also poured in from outside the city, and the general of the leader knew that he was really defeated. Two thousand well-equipped men with crossbows surrounded a thousand hasty soldiers, and if they wanted to kill, it was really no suspense.

Yue Feng saw that the besieged general did not swear to the death, and guessed that this person might not be Cao Cao's person, if so, Cao Cao would have fooled him into being loyal and died. Therefore, Yue Feng did not order an immediate attack, but stepped forward and said: "I am Yue Feng, the commander of the Lu Pu County soldiers, who are you?"

The general said: "I am the new commander of the army. And pointed to the people around him, and said: "This is Xun Yu, the staff officer of the march." ”

Yue Feng knew that Dian Wei's intention was to protect Xun Yu's life, otherwise the unknown man would be afraid of death. But what he was most worried about was Cao Cao, if Dian Wei was really the commander of the county soldiers and was left in the county seat, then he should have noticed this name a long time ago. There must be something strange in this, but the current situation is not the time to inquire and verify in detail, so Yue Feng directly tested: "Dian Wei Xunyu, if you are not Cao Cao's favorite general, I am willing to accept the two of you under my account, and these thousand soldiers will also be used by me, how about it?"

Dian Wei couldn't figure it out, it was the first time he had seen such a straightforward surrender, but why did he ask me if I was Cao Cao's favorite general? Although Dian Wei didn't like words, he was not a fool, and now he was designed by people who didn't know it, he just resisted desperately, who did he resist, who did he resist, could it be the county Cheng?

After thinking about it, Dian Wei felt that he needed to talk to Yue Feng and see the situation again. If Yue Feng finishes fighting Linjiang and is wiped out by Tuoba Gui, then he might as well surrender early and wait for an opportunity to abscond.

Dian Wei shouted: "All obey the order, lay down your weapons!" only heard the sound of weapons falling to the ground, it seems that there is no emperor, and there is no loyalty. Dian Wei himself also put down his weapon, and walked in front of Yue Feng with Xun Yu and said: "Lord Yue, in Xia Dian Wei, I am willing to serve the dogs and horses, but I need to talk to you very much." ”

Yue Feng was very happy that Dian Wei was so knowledgeable, and said, "Zhang Zhiming led five hundred soldiers to take care of these brothers. Xiang Yu closed the whole city, strictly guarded the city wall, and from now on, the city gate will be closed, and anyone who wants to go out of the city without my warrant will be killed. Guo Jia, Green Butterfly brought some people to accompany me to the county mansion. ”

After a few people arrived at the county mansion, the people of Green Butterfly had completely controlled the mansion, and the county didn't know what was going on, Yue Feng believed that Guo Jia would deal with these things of appeasement, surrender, and extermination.

Yue Feng took Qingzhi and met Dian Wei Xunyu in the county Cheng's bedroom. Yue Feng smiled and was speechless, he knew that Dian Wei wanted to talk, it must be because he hadn't returned to himself, but he didn't want to die in vain.

Sure enough, Dian Wei sat down and said, "Why did you ask me if I was Cao Cao's general?"

Yue Feng didn't answer, and said, "Why have I never heard of the Commander." ”

Dian Wei said: "I was originally an official in the state capital, but I was quite unsatisfactory. Just two months ago, the commander and deputy commander of Linjiang offended Zhou Cheng, so I spent some silver taels to come here. Who knew that after coming, Cao Cao, the little leader, actually controlled half of the county soldiers, and Xun Yu and I could basically deploy the other half. Just when Tuoba Gui's order to transfer troops arrived, Xun Yu persuaded me to directly order him as the deputy commander, so Cao Cao led the soldiers under his control to send him to death. ”

Yue Feng thought about it and felt that what Dian Wei said was reasonable, but he did not rule out the possibility of telling lies. After all, if Dian Wei is Cao Cao's general, then he will plant a mine around him. And now the significance of Dian Wei's surrender is not great, and the soldiers under his command must not have been in contact with him for a long time, and this question knows that as long as the soldiers are a little tamed, they should be able to use them for their own use.

Yue Feng decided to have a showdown with Dian Wei directly, and now time is life, so he said: "Dian Wei, tell you the truth, you said surrender to me, I can't believe it." It's not that I'm a person who doesn't want to trust others, it's that I don't want to trust the people around Cao Cao. I came into contact with Cao Cao in the Qin army, and I knew that he was cunning and sinister, thoughtful, and good at grasping people's hearts. If I were Cao Cao, I would first order you and Xun Yu to be officials in the state capital, and then wait for the opportunity to make trouble and get the original commander away, so that you can be transferred from the state capital and Cao Cao as the deputy, which can not only confuse Tuoba Gui but also facilitate Cao Cao to hide in the dark. And Cao Cao to the Qin army is also spying everywhere to find talents, you say that such a person is in Linjiang, can I believe you casually? As long as you can prove that what Cao Cao said is true, I will immediately activate you, and I can even immediately participate in the siege of the city and plan the next step. ”

Dian Wei was a little dumbfounded when he heard Yue Feng say this, how could this matter be proven? Finding a soldier to confess? It can be said that the confession is colluded in advance.

Green Butterfly knocked on the door at this time and said, "I have found Cao Cao's house, and I have obtained a large amount of soldiers, armor, money and food, it seems that he has premeditated." After speaking, Yue Feng motioned for Green Butterfly to stand at the door. Green Butterfly also understands, knowing that Yue Feng is going to kill someone if he doesn't agree, Green Butterfly stops talking.

Yue Feng waited for Dian Wei to prove it, but Dian Wei was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, because depending on the situation, this Yue Feng was by no means a dull person, and if he couldn't prove it, he would probably die immediately. Because Xun Yu's martial arts are really mediocre, it can only be said to have achieved the effect of strengthening the body. And Xun Yu interacted with himself, let himself give up Xun Yu's life, I couldn't bear it! Look at Yue Feng again, there is no flaw in his body, ready to go at any time, then please be even more direct, holding the hilt of the sword.

Xun Yu said suddenly: "Cao Cao has always flaunted filial piety, I am willing to kill his father and brother and the city wall with my own hands in front of the soldiers, and swear not to share the sky with Cao Cao." ”

Dian Wei was overjoyed and said, "I am also willing." ”

Yue Feng said, "Okay, Green Butterfly will take them to do it." When you're done, you'll come back to discuss it. ”

Yue Feng thought to himself: "If Cao Cao himself said so, I would have killed Cao Cao as well." Because he can do it to anyone except himself, but Dian Wei should have done what he just said to be true. As for killing Cao Cao's family, it was inevitable. Otherwise, will you raise it for the rest of your life?"

Half an hour later, Green Butterfly, Dian Wei, and Xun Yu returned. Yue Feng knew that it should be done, otherwise Green Butterfly would not have pushed the door in and stood next to him.

Yue Feng took out the jade plaque, motioned for everyone to get out of the way, and said: "For my confidant, I must recite the word of this jade plaque, and this matter must not be spread outside." ”

After the two finished reading, Yue Feng put away the jade plaque and said: "Cao Cao was originally the abandoned son of the palace after the retreat of the Qin army like me, but as far as I estimate, Cao Cao will inevitably rush back to Linjiang urgently, maybe tomorrow, he will go to Linjiang." How do you two think you can defeat Cao Cao and his 2,000 soldiers?"

Dian Wei thought for a while and said: "It's better to ambush the soldiers and the Dao, Cao Cao marched extremely fast, and he must ignore the surroundings." As long as we ambush in four ways, we will be able to defeat Cao Cao. ”

Yue Feng said: "This is a plan, but unless the terrain is narrow, and the ambush soldiers need to be at least twice as large as the enemy, Cao Cao can break through to one side." Our forces are slightly insufficient, and we can defeat them, but they are not enough to annihilate them. ”

Xun Yu thought for a while and said: "Dian Wei and I were ambushed tonight, and we are really convinced. As long as Cao Cao comes tomorrow, Dian Wei and I will stand on the city wall, lead it into the city, and it can be surrounded and annihilated. ”

Yue Feng laughed and said, "That's it." Just discuss the details with Guo Jia and Xiang Yu tomorrow morning. Brother Dian Wei go and rest. Don't worry, you're mine, no one will look at you. Dian Wei thanked him and left.

Yue Feng saw that only Qingzhi was left, and Green Butterfly said: "Green Butterfly has won the first merit today, do you have any requirements?"

Green Butterfly said: "There are no requirements. Yue Feng smiled and said, "Then let's count it together in the future." Find a room and go back to rest. By the way, Dian Wei and Xun Yu have just descended, so let's arrange a few guards!"

In the early morning of the second day, Yue Feng and the others discussed again. It was decided to select dozens of credible people from Dian Wei's soldiers to defend the city walls, and the streets around the city gate were pretended to patrol, so that even if Cao Cao was as treacherous as a ghost, he would not find any clues. As for the air force battalion in the south of the city, as long as Dian Wei said that Cao Cao would lead the troops to live, Cao Cao would inevitably be suspicious and would seduce Dian Wei to let him enter the city, because Cao Cao couldn't afford to wait, he ran back secretly.

On the afternoon of the second day, sure enough, Cao Cao led the army back, quite dusty, Cao Cao saw that the gate of Linjiang City was closed, and he knew that Dian Wei was estimated to have moved. Cao Cao led the army to the front of the city and said: "Commander Dian, now that the Qinzhou army has retreated, I will lead the troops back, quickly open the city gate and let me in." ”

Dian Wei said: "I see, no wonder Deputy Commander Cao is back, but now there are a lot of thieves around, especially entering the city to guard, Deputy Commander Cao can go to the southern barracks to rest for a few days, and then go around to recruit the indecent Kou." ”

Seeing this, Cao Cao knew that Dian Wei was occupying the high walls of the city, and he bullied himself and couldn't attack the city. And the soldiers he led are far more than Dianwei, once he is let into the city, it is not necessarily who has the final say. Cao Cao's mind changed rapidly, as long as he entered the city, the overall situation had been decided, and said: "I am willing to lead the troops to completely obey the commander, if you violate this oath, you can kill my whole family." ”

Dian Wei thought to himself, he had killed him, but Cao Cao was really ruthless! Pretending to hesitate for a moment, Dian Wei shouted: "Okay, a word is a certainty, open the city gate!"

The city gate slowly opened, and Cao Cao retreated to the back of the procession, following the army into the city. When Cao Cao went back, he secretly led his men to prepare to capture the city, and Cao Cao didn't want to be shot into a sieve as soon as he entered the city gate, which was really the whole family killed. And Cao Cao knew that even if there was an ambush, a thousand or so people would not want to surround 2,000 people, and at most they would lose a few soldiers.

When Cao Cao's army was already eighty percent, Cao Cao suddenly felt that something was wrong, if Dian Wei caught his father and brother, how could he not threaten himself with the city wall? Cao Cao was keenly aware that this matter was quite strange, and I was afraid that Dian Wei had already prepared a perfect strategy to catch the turtle in an urn. He didn't even shout, he took the lead, turned around and ran. It doesn't matter at all whether the infantry around him can catch up or not.

Yue Feng saw that Cao Cao was so treacherous, and there was nothing he could do, because the city gate was full of people, so he had to close the city gate and surround Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao's army saw that Cao Cao had run away, and they were surrounded by two or three thousand people, and they were all panicked, but after all, they were still very convinced of Cao Cao.

Dian Wei also knew that the situation was in crisis, and once he made a move, he would kill them all and lose money, so he immediately shouted: "Stop it all! Cao Cao's people are thieves! You believe in his rhetoric, but you don't even care about his father and brother, and now he finds that he is surrounded, and immediately flees on horseback." Do you think he shouted? Today, as long as you are captured, you will be my good brother of Dian Wei, and in the future you will have wine and wine, and meat and meat!"

The soldiers around Dian Wei were not stupid, and immediately shouted: "There is wine to drink, and meat to eat meat!"

After a while, the soldiers brought back by Cao Cao seemed to have figured out that Cao Cao was too unworthy to die for him, so he threw away his sword and stood in order. The surrounding Yue family sergeants picked up their weapons and stacked them in different categories.

Yue Feng walked up to the city tower and said to Dian Wei: "If you are brave and strategic, you can be of great use." Dian Wei said a little embarrassed: "It's a pity to let Cao Cao go." Yue Feng said: "Look at the number of fate, if we meet again, he will still be unable to escape death." ”

Yue Feng knew that now that the soldiers of Dian Wei had surpassed him, it was time to stand up. shouted to the below: "I am Yue Feng, the commander of the soldiers of Lupu County, and the soldiers who surround you are my people." Today's words are my words, as long as you work together in the future, you will be able to make contributions!"

Then, Yue Feng said to the people around him: "Guo Jia quickly screened the leaders of the troops to see if there were any people who were loyal to Cao Cao." Xiang Yu took over these surrendered troops, whether it is good wine and meat, or money and food temptation, they must be used by me as soon as possible. He also said to Xun Yu: "I ordered you to be the county minister, appease the people, recruit soldiers, make every effort to produce armor, and collect food from nearby villages, which is the top priority." I brought with me a thousand taels of gold, which should be enough for a moment. ”

Yue Feng looked at Dian Wei, and he didn't have any resentment, knowing that he had indeed regarded himself as a member of the Yue Army, not the commander of Linjiang County.

After another two days, I don't know what means were used, and my subordinates surrendered about 3,000 troops, all of whom were convinced by Xiang Yu. Yue Feng thought, is it a comparison of strength, a comparison of the amount of wine? Another 2,000 Yue soldiers also rested day and night on the city wall to prepare for defense.

Yue Feng knew that if he set out to capture Xia County a day late, it would be more dangerous, but if the rear was unstable, it would be better not to attack. On that day, Yue Feng was patrolling the city wall, and a group of soldiers and armor troops actually came to the south. It's just that the team dragged and seemed extremely tired. Yue Feng was overjoyed, and when the team approached, he saw Zhang Feiyun and immediately shouted, "Zhang Feiyun!"

Zhang Feiyun didn't seem to be surprised that Linjiang was broken, rode over, and shouted: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!";
