"See Lord Thorn!"

Under the leadership of the leading general, all the generals saluted Zhang Wenzheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Wenzheng squinted at Liu Yu who was standing aside, he didn't dare to be too prestigious, he cleared his throat, "Well, let's get up." I summoned you here today to discuss the important matter of defending Yongzhou City!"

The generals were stunned when they heard this, this Lord Assassin has been hiding in the mansion since Yongzhou City was besieged, and this is the first time that he has gathered the people to discuss the strategy of meeting the enemy, which is very surprising.

"Please also give the order, the humble general knows everything!" the leader replied respectfully. He is a general with an important position in the defense of the state, and whether he wants to be willing or not, he will eventually obey the orders of the powerless civilian official in front of him.

"You ask him, how many troops are still in Benzhou, how many cavalry, infantry and archers are there?" Liu Yu used his internal force to transmit the voice and send the words into Zhang Wenzheng's ears.

Zhang Wenzheng hurriedly did as he was told, and recited his words word for word.

The chief general replied: "Lord Qiqi, since the arrival of the troops in the city, Zhu Wen has been besieging the city more than besieging the city for some reason. He organized the men to dig several trenches outside the city, so that our cavalry was useless, and so far the men and horses have not been damaged, and the two thousand men and horses are still there. But those foot soldiers and archers were on guard on the city wall every day, not only to defend the city from the siege of the thieves during the day, but also to watch out for the cold arrows of the thieves under the city at night, and they really lost a lot of people these days. Among them, there were 28,000 foot soldiers, and only 1,200 archers remained. “

Liu Yu frowned after hearing this, so it seems that there are only more than 30,000 available troops in Yongzhou City, which is nothing compared with the righteous army led by the senior brother outside the city. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Zhang Wenzheng, "Ask them, have you found any abnormalities when you are defending the city at present?"

Zhang Wenzheng asked the generals according to his words.

The leader frowned and said, "Today, during the day, we caught a small group of thieves in the city, so we tortured these people and forced them to ask them about the purpose of infiltrating the city. The words spoken by those thieves are unbelievable, they are unbelievable!"

"Oh, what is the matter?" Zhang Wenzheng suddenly became interested, and this time he didn't use Liu Yu's reminder anymore, and asked himself.

"Those people even said that they did not come into the city to find out the details of our army, let alone to win the city gates, but to find an ancient tomb in the city. The leader said, shaking his head as he spoke, with a look of disbelief.

"Then what are you waiting for, keep torturing! These thieves must not be telling the truth, and deliberately found a reason to prevaricate us. Zhang Wenzheng said angrily.

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard the word "ancient tomb", and he thought of the "tomb repair" mentioned in dozens of letters written by Sun Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to the Yongzhou Tangkou of the Midou Society. Could this be the same thing as what the "ancient tomb" refers to? Could it be that there is some earth-shattering secret hidden in this ancient tomb that can provoke both the Mi Dou Society and the Huangchao Rebel Army to send people to seize it?

He began to feel that the reason why his senior brother Zhu Wen led the army to attack Yongzhou City this time was not simple, and the reason why the senior brother dug trenches outside the city should not only be to besiege the defenders of Yongzhou City, but also to prevent someone from getting some kind of treasure from the ancient tomb in the city and looking for an opportunity to escape.

After seeing the situation in front of him clearly, his heart suddenly brightened a lot. Since the focus of many forces is the ancient tomb in the city, the key to solving the problem is also focused on this ancient tomb. As long as the ancient tomb is found, all crises will be solved.

He changed his original intention to quickly repel the army besieging the city of his senior brother Zhu Wen, and instead sent a message to Zhang Wenwen: "Since the cavalry in the city is not damaged, starting from tomorrow night, send cavalry out of the city to attack the enemy camp at night every night, the time cannot be fixed, and the enemy must not be caught. Harassing the enemy seven or eight times like this will inevitably lose the morale of the enemy. ”

Zhang Wenzheng obediently conveyed his words to the generals.

The leader of the city looked embarrassed when he heard this, "My lord, there are trenches dug by Zhu Wen outside the city. If we send someone out, I'm afraid we won't be able to please us. ”

Zhang Wenzheng didn't know what the strategy of leading the troops to fight the war had, and hurriedly turned his head to ask Liu Yu for help, but was forced to turn back by Liu Yu's cold gaze.

Liu Yu continued to convey the message to him with internal force, "Order each cavalryman to bring two bags of sand, four thousand bags of sand are enough to fill a path between the trenches outside the city for them to charge and go. ”

Zhang Wenzheng hurriedly said these words to the generals, and the generals all said that they were wonderful, and secretly said in their hearts that this assassin had somehow opened his mind and could come up with such a good plan.

Seeing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly, as long as the generals could follow his strategy, then Senior Brother Zhu Wen would definitely not be able to attack Yongzhou City in a short time.

In this way, the Huangchao Rebels outside the city became a barrier between Yongzhou City and the outside world. The people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in. The outsiders he wanted to guard against were none other than the people from the Midou Society, these people were all elusive and strong in kung fu, if they mixed in a group to Yongzhou City, it would be very unfavorable for him to investigate the ancient tombs.

He unconsciously fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. Zhang Wenzheng didn't dare to dismiss the generals without authorization, so he had to sit awkwardly in the pineapple wooden Taishi chair, rubbing his hands constantly. The generals were surprised when they saw this, they had never seen this high-eyed thorn master so cramped.

Liu Yu woke up in the awkward silence of everyone, and then conveyed the last sentence to Zhang Wenzheng, "It's nothing, you let these generals go back to perform their duties." You send another team to search for the bodies of the five dead brothers of the Ouchi Hidden Guard, and bring them back to me. ”

Zhang Wenzheng didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately got up and sent off the generals, and sent more than a dozen cronies out of the city overnight to find the bodies of the five dragon group hidden guards.

Seeing this, a warmth suddenly rose in Chen Li's heart, and he followed the former leader Lu Yi for several years. Although Lu Yi is strong in martial arts and does have a set of methods to control people's hearts, he never cares about the life or death of his brothers. Whenever someone dies outside due to a mission, not only does he not want to collect the body, but he sneers at the deceased, which chills a lot of people's hearts.

At first, when Lu Yi just died, Chen Li still felt guilty about his defection to the new leader, but at this moment, he was secretly glad that maybe the leader of the Dragon Group had indeed changed the right thing this time. The original iron-blooded and indifferent dragon group may have changed its atmosphere and become a gathering place for a group of like-minded people.

Seeing that the generals had left, Liu Yu no longer deliberately posed as a servant, and asked Zhang Wenzheng directly: "Lord Zhang, there is a house in the house, and the two of us need a place to rest." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Wenzheng hurriedly replied, and then ordered the maids standing aside, "Go and clean up the two good side rooms, and serve the two masters, otherwise you will be deducted money!"

Soon, two maids came out of the queue, stood in front of Liu Yu and Chen Li, and bowed slightly, "Please also ask the two guests to go with me." ”

Liu Yu nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenzheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was finally able to send these two evil stars away. He had already made up his mind that as long as the two maids sent the two into the backyard room to sleep, he would immediately flee Yongzhou City with all his belongings. As for whether Yongzhou City will fall, it is not something he is willing to care about. Anyway, as long as he returns to Chang'an City, he will be able to live a drunken life with a lot of real money and silver. He is already tired of the two-room concubines in the capital, and he has to marry a few more rooms this time.
