Zhao Min also smiled at this time: "This has saved us a lot of things." Is this Zhu Yuanzhang having a broken head? There was such a trick to come up with. ”

Zhang Wuji said: "Yes, it seems that this guy should have jumped off the wall in a hurry." Otherwise, I can't figure out why he did it. ”

Su Mengqing asked at this time, "So what should we do now?" ”

Zhang Wuji chuckled, put down the battle report in his hand, and continued: "Since Zhu Yuanzhang has cleaned them up for us, then we will save the effort." At the moment, our top priority is to eliminate Zhang Shicheng. Won a million taels of silver in the city of Suzhou. Now Zhang Shicheng has cowered in Suzhou City. It has become a turtle in an urn. Sister Su, where is the secret passage you talked about before?"

Huo Jia, who was sitting on the side, said at this time: "Do we need any secret passages to enter?" I don't think the walls of Suzhou City are very high. We could have bypassed it ourselves, then killed the soldiers defending the city, and finally opened the gates and enlarged the army into the city. If you don't want to go, Your Majesty, this seat can do it for you. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji shook his head and said: "This time is different from the past, Suzhou City is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. The garrison was extremely tight. And Zhang Shicheng entrenched a lot of soldiers in the city. We can easily get in, but it is not easy to push open the solid gates in the midst of siege. ”

Su Mengqing also nodded at this time and said, "It is indeed as the emperor said." The gates of Suzhou City are all made of solid wood and are filled with copper and iron. It's very heavy. Besides, now that eighty percent of the city gates have been blocked, there is no way to force them open. If you want to enter the city, it is the best choice to take the secret passage of our Su family. ”

Zhao Min asked at this time, "Then how are we preparing now?" ”

Zhang Wuji said: "After the past few days of repair, we have been fully prepared. And the secret passage is very secretive, and it has been occupied by us. If you want to sneak in, you must not be discovered by Zhang Shicheng. Tonight is the end of the month, and there is not even moonlight at night, so it is the best time. ”

At night, according to the previous plan, everyone began to infiltrate Suzhou City from a small village ten miles outside Suzhou City.

This small village outside the city is now empty. This was originally a village that the Su family specially funded in order to escape for their lives in the future. Many people in this village used to be servants of the Su family. Therefore, the people in this village are very reliable to the Su family.

Later, the Su family often set up warehouses here and then carried out commercial transit, although this made little sense in business. But the purpose of the Su family is to stop here, firstly, in order to hide people's eyes, everyone knows that the Su family has a cargo station here, then in the future, the Su family will secretly use the secret passage to transfer things, and no one will be suspicious.

The second is to feed these descendants of the villagers here and give them a livelihood by loading and unloading goods. Don't let them go anywhere else to earn a living.

Zhang Wuji and the others entered the secret passage, which was very narrow, and could only accommodate one person walking in front and back. In some places, you even have to bend over.

Despite this, this secret passage has brought a lot of benefits to the Su family, and the biggest benefit is "tax evasion", and there are many goods that the Su family uses this secret passage to transport into Suzhou City, so that they can avoid the taxes of the city gate. If there is no government to collect taxes, then these goods will soon become a huge profit.

However, this method is generally done by the Su family when the business is bad and the cost is compressed, or when the tax-charged price of a certain item is too high.

And in the generation of Su Bancheng, the Su family's business has reached its peak in full swing, and it is already half of Suzhou City, so naturally there is no need to use this secret passage anymore.

Therefore, this secret passage of the Su family has lasted for several generations, and it has not been discovered by others. And today, the secret passage of the Su family has become Zhang Shicheng's dead end.

The city of Suzhou was high and strong, Zhang Wuji did not eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang, and the land transportation was not opened, so there was no way to bring in heavy siege equipment. If Zhang Shicheng defended the city, then no matter how heroic the Ming army was, the possibility of capturing the city was almost zero.

But this secret passage can allow the Ming army to take this heavily guarded city unknowingly.

In the middle of the night, the two thousand elite forwards led by Zhang Wuji came to the city of Suzhou, under the Su family's house.

At the end of the passage is an underground warehouse. When she was about to reach the end, Su Mengqing slowly took away a wall brick, looked cautiously towards the warehouse, and only when she confirmed that there was no one guarding it did she push the secret door open.

Zhang Wuji and the others, who were the leader, jumped out of the secret passage.

This time, not many people came. There are only four people: Zhang Wuji, Xiao Zhao, Huo Jia, and Su Mengqing. The rest of the people stayed in the camp, after all, they were all big girls, they liked to be clean, and they couldn't accept it if they crawled in the earthy tunnels.

Su Mengqing actually didn't want to come, but there was no way, no one was more familiar with this place than her, so she could only lead the team to come.

As for Huo Jia, she came in to join in the fun, but she is strong in martial arts and is also a capable assistant, so Zhang Wuji allowed her to join her.

And Xiao Zhao is simple, that is, where Zhang Wuji goes, she goes. If it weren't for Zhang Wuji's orders, she would have to be by Childe's side all the time.

After leaving the secret passage, Su Mengqing took out a night pearl that he was close to and illuminated the surroundings.

Zhang Wuji looked at everyone's "little flower cat face" and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Su Mengqing hurriedly blocked Zhang Wuji's mouth. She said, "Shhh This is the warehouse under the firewood house, and there may be an enemy here. If we are caught talking loudly, we are in trouble. ”

Zhang Wuji nodded silently, and then Su Mengqing let go of his hand.

Xiao Zhao didn't care that her body was full of dust, she took out a clean handkerchief from her arms, and wiped it on Zhang Wuji in a faint light.

Seeing the affectionate appearance of the two of them, Huo Jia couldn't help but pout.

Su Mengqing held the Night Pearl in one hand and a short sword in the other, and she quietly walked to the entrance of the underground warehouse.

At this time, the follow-up soldiers also followed, and although everyone was embarrassed, everyone was in good shape and mentality.

After all, it is much better than climbing the city wall at any time and being a "rat" to burrow in the ground. They even hope that in the future, there will be such tunnels to drill in siege warfare.

Su Mengqing gently picked open the entrance of the tunnel with a short sword, she lifted the flap, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else in his family's firewood room, he waved his hand at Zhang Wuji behind him.

Zhang Wuji instructed the guards around him, I will first go and explore the situation outside. You are here to standby.

When they had received the command, they stayed in the basement for a while.

And Zhang Wuji took Huo Jia and Xiao Zhao to follow Su Mengqing's footsteps, walked up, and went to the Su family's firewood room.

As soon as the four of them came out of the tunnel and hid their figures in the firewood room, they saw the fire outside the window and heard the voice of the patrol.
