Outside the city, Zhang He, Tian Feng and others were discussing how to attack the city, and inside the city, Su Ming and the others were also discussing how to defend the city.

Defending Yecheng, this matter is easier said than done!

The 800 camps in the city, plus the Xu family's private army, were less than 3,000 people.

It is a bit unrealistic to want to rely on these 3,000 people to defend Yecheng.

"At most, in one day's effort, Zhang He was able to gather 50,000 troops under Yecheng. Even if it takes them a day to build siege equipment, at most on the third day, they will storm Yecheng. ”

"Once the clans in the city find out that our troops are insufficient, then they must act as an internal response and attack us with Zhang He inside and outside."

"We, the 3,000 or so people, are afraid, we can't even hold it for a day!" After Zhang Liao said this, he arched his hand towards Su Ming, and said, "Please also ask Gongzi to evacuate from the east gate and avoid the edge for the time being." This city will be handed over to me Zhang Wenyuan to guard. ”

In Zhang Liao's opinion, it is already incredible that they can kill Yuan Shao by going deep alone this time.

Now, if you want to defend Yecheng under the siege of the army, with these private soldiers of the 800 trapped camp and Xu Mansion, this is a fool's dream.

These private soldiers of the Xu Mansion can almost be said to have no combat effectiveness.

After Zhang He gathered his troops and horses, they saw the huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, and they had to be frightened.

Moreover, you must know that they not only have Zhang He's external troubles now, but they also have internal worries!

Although Su Ming created the illusion that his troops were sufficient, he temporarily had to bluff the clans in the city.

However, the real force is sufficient, and the fake force is sufficient, and it is not visible in peacetime. As soon as there is a war, it can be seen.

If these clans see that Su Ming's troops are insufficient, they are afraid, they will kill Su Ming and welcome Zhang He into the city.

Zhang Liao is also brave and loyal, he understands that staying in Yecheng will become a turtle in an urn.

However, what Yecheng finally won cannot be lost in vain.

Therefore, Zhang Liao said that Su Ming should withdraw first, and he would guard this Yecheng.

Su Ming has a special identity, he is Cao Cao's son!

In any case, Su Ming can't die here.

As for Zhang Liao, since he was willing to stay and defend the city, he naturally had a will to die.

The clay pot is difficult to break from the wellhead, and the general will inevitably die in battle.

Zhang Liao has already thought through this truth.

The battle hasn't been fought yet?

Zhang Liao asked Su Ming to run first, can Su Ming run?

You can't run for sure!

Don't say that Zhang Liao let him run, even if Cao Cao asked him to run, he couldn't run.

He didn't fire an arrow, didn't cut a knife, he Su Ming ran away first?

Then didn't he become a long-legged general Su Ran away?

Su Ming knew that Zhang Liao was loyal, and he was worried about his own safety, so he came up with such an idea.

Su Ming stepped forward, patted Zhang Liao's shoulder, and said with relief: "Wenyuan, things are not so pessimistic. ”

"Yecheng is not an ordinary city, this is the largest city in the north, the city is high and the walls are thick, although Zhang He has many troops, he may not be able to attack it."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Zhang Liao couldn't help but show bitterness, and continued to persuade: "Son, if there is only external trouble, this Yecheng can still be defended." ”

"Don't forget! We still have internal worries! ”

"The big families in the city can't handle it well, and their threat is much bigger than that of Zhang He outside the city."

This time, without waiting for Su Ming to speak, Tai Shici took the lead in standing up and said, "General Wenyuan, these big families are afraid that they will do something. ”

"Lord, you give me a soldier and horse first, and I will kill all these families first! It also saves them from making trouble behind their backs. ”

"Smack!" Su Ming slapped Tai Shici on the back of the head, this reckless man only knows how to kill, kill, kill.

If the problem can be solved simply by killing, when Yecheng was just taken, Su Ming killed these gate valve families.

"You all keep this heart in your stomach, since I dare to enter the tiger's den of Yecheng, I have to find a way."

"Don't say that he is just a Zhang He, even if Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Brother Zhao Yun come together, they can't take this Yecheng!" Su Ming let out a bold statement.

Without waiting for others to speak, Tai Shi Ci fell to his knees with his hands and said, "Lord, you can give the order!" ”

Tai Shi Ci just knelt down, Qu A also knelt on the ground, and echoed with his hand: "Please give an order." ”

Now, Tai Shici and Qu A, the two brothers, blindly worship Su Ming.

Whatever Su Ming says, these two brothers will believe it.

Su Ming said that he could defend Yecheng, and the two brothers believed that Su Ming could defend Yecheng.

Not to mention that Su Ming said that he could defend Yecheng, Su Ming just said that and meat have a taste, and the two brothers also believe it.

Zhang Liao looked at the two brothers who were kneeling on one knee and thought, come on! Don't talk about it either!

I, Zhang Wenyuan, also sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman this time!

So, Zhang Liao also knelt on one knee with a "poof".

The meaning of this is obvious, that is, let Su Ming give the order!

That's it!

Nothing to say.

"Wen Yuan, tonight, you set up a few bonfires at the south gate, and then make some shouts and killings."

"To make a look like the South Gate has fallen." Su Ming gave the first order to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao gave up his hand and said, "The last general will take the order." ”

Then, Su Ming looked at Tai Shici again and said, "You lead two hundred people, dress up as Zhang He, hold Zhang He's banner, and kill me in the city." ”

"The people, the family, the merchants, no matter who they are, they will kill people when they meet them, and they will look at them when they see them."

"When killing people and setting fires, shout the words of slaughtering the city."

Tai Shi Ci scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "Lord, if we don't go out to kill Zhang He, what are we trying to kill in the city?" ”

Su Ming glared at Tai Shi Ci fiercely, and said angrily: "You know a fart!" ”

"Relying only on these horses in our hands, it is impossible to defend Yecheng. Even if these big families in the city are honest and don't give Zhang He an internal response, we won't be able to defend Yecheng. ”

"If you want to defend Yecheng, there is only one way, and that is to have soldiers in the whole city to be able to defend Yecheng."

"Yecheng is lost, Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi have all died in Yecheng, Zhang He thinks that there is an internal response in the city, and it is very reasonable to slaughter the city in a fit of anger."

"Let's make the loss of the south gate, Zhang He led the army into the city, and wantonly killed the people, the appearance of the family. It is to make the people in the city and these families believe that once Zhang He captures Yecheng, he will definitely slaughter the city. ”

"For the family, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is in charge of Yecheng, and their interests will be harmed. However, when Zhang He entered the city, they all had to die. ”

"They can still weigh and understand which is more important than interests and lives, as long as they are convinced that Zhang He will slaughter the city when he enters the city, then they will take the initiative to help us defend the city."

After listening to Su Ming's explanation, Tai Shici suddenly realized.
