Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 538 Breaking the Deadlock
Yang Hong smiled and said: "Then a small group of people will attack."

"I have watched the enemy's formation for many days. Most of Xuzhou's main force is stationed between the east and west gates. There are not many troops placed between my north and south gates. The weather has been cloudy recently, and at night I can't see my fingers. It's just in time."

"We can first choose a general to cheat out of the east and west gates, and use them to attract the attention of the Xuzhou army, and then choose another general to go through the north and south gates. There is no need to lead a large number of horses, a few hundred are enough, and we will leave in the chaos. It will be successful."

"Hundreds of people?"

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Yang Jijiu, the bravery of the Xuzhou army is well known to the world, even if the Liangdao garrisons are not elite tigers, they should not be underestimated, hundreds of people went to intercept , it’s hard to be sure.”

"What General Gan said is true. Under normal circumstances, at least [-] elites are needed to rob the king and steal food, but now?"

Yang Hong caressed the thin beard under his lips, squinted his eyes and said, "It's just this moment, and that moment."

Facing the suspicious eyes of the other party, Yang Hong patiently explained: "Look, General Gan, it has been rainy for several days. There are few stone slabs on the road outside the city, and it has been muddy for a long time. The grain trucks are heavy. It must be difficult to walk, and I Using the cavalry army is flexible and maneuverable, and it takes a lot of advantages, so hundreds of them are enough."

"So, when is the best time to do it?"

"It's not too late, just tonight. A victory will also boost the morale of the troops."

Speaking of this, Yang Hong ordered the generals to be summoned, turned to the left and right and asked: "Everyone, if the lone army goes out of the city and succeeds in copying its grain road, the situation of the battle can be reversed, but this matter is quite dangerous, is there any general willing to go there? "

Li Ren's heart moved when he heard the words, Dang even wanted to stand out, but before he could take a step, he felt a force coming from behind, pulling his clothes, and his whole body staggered sideways.

Who is so rude?

Li Ren was furious, and turned his head to look, only to see that this man was wrapped in straps and his face was pale. It was Liang Gang who was almost killed by Wei Yan on the top of the wall before.

Liang Gang didn't look sideways, completely ignoring Li Ren's angry eyes, just jumped out, raised his chest and raised his head, and shouted: "The last general wants to go!"

"Lieutenant Liang?" Yang Hong was stunned when he heard the words: "This trip has great responsibilities and dangers. You are injured, how did you get there?"

"A little injury, what is it!"

Liang Gang put on a posture, and in front of everyone, he swung his long knife on the top of the wall once.He walked vigorously, vigorously, without looking like he was injured, and said with emotion: "The other day, I fought with the lord and the Cao bandits at Fengqiu Kuangting, and even killed a general of the Yanzhou army with four or five arrows from the bandit army? "

Since it was a challenge, it was natural to mention the most prestigious record in his life, but Liang Gang forgot one thing.

Although his personal performance in the battle of Kuangting was considered good, the final result was that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu and completely blocked Yuan Shu's ambition to enter the Central Plains from Runan to the north. In the end, he went south and led the rest of his troops to Jiujiang County to kill Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, took over Yangzhou Mu and took control of Jiangdong.

really
Hearing this, Yang Hong frowned slightly. Since the plagiarism of Liang Dao is a small group of people, it is natural that a general with both wisdom and courage cannot do it. Liang Gang's martial arts are indeed good, but the other party's words made Yang Hong Hong felt that this servant was too brave and foolhardy, which was really inappropriate, but who else could he send besides Liang Gang?
Li Ren?He was smarter than Liang Gang, but he was a bit weaker in courage.

In fact, the most suitable one is naturally Gan Ning. The problem is that Gan Ning is currently the commander-in-chief of the Shouchun garrison. First, it is inconvenient for Yang Hong to take the initiative to order him. Going, looking around again and again, I still haven't found a suitable candidate. At this moment, Gan Ning suddenly said: "Yang Jijiu, how about this general personally leading the army?"

"General Gan?" Yang Hong was taken aback when he heard the words: "You are a general, you should be in charge of the central army and plan the overall situation, how can you move lightly?"

"Didn't you just say the wine sacrifice? If this battle is successful, the situation can be reversed. Do you need a general with both wisdom and courage?"

Looking around, Gan Ning looked up to the sky and laughed, full of indescribable pride and self-confidence: "If you talk about wisdom and courage, who else can I have?"

His heroism seemed to be innate, and for a while, everyone was awe-inspiring, and there was no one who didn't believe it, and Yang Hong also deeply believed it.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Hong nodded, agreed to Gan Ning's plea, clapped his hands and laughed, "The general is a real hero. If that's the case, I'll call Liang Gang and you as deputy, Liang Gang."

"The end is here!"

"At five o'clock tonight, let you lead the army out of the east and west city gates and pretend to move."

"Here!"

"General Gan."

"exist."

"You go down to the city immediately, go back to the camp and select 500 elite men, and paint them with black, regardless of armor or weapons. Liang Dao, once the matter is accomplished, when our army wins a complete victory, I will present my lord face to face, and the first achievement will definitely be in the pockets of the two generals!"

"I swear not to disgrace my life!"

There is a kind of person in the world, the more they face powerful enemies and encounter difficulties, the more motivated they are to fight.

And Gan Ning is just such a strong person who gets stronger when he meets Wang Zheng and Xuzhou Army. When facing such unprecedentedly strong opponents as Wang Zheng and Xuzhou Army, he inspired his unprecedented fighting spirit!
In his mind, it is not enough to keep Shouchun alive, but it is also necessary to defeat the sharpness of the Xuzhou army head-on!
And only when he shines brightly in such a big battle where all the princes look at him will he let the world know one thing clearly
In this world of heroes rising up, dragons and snakes fighting for hegemony, Wang Yukou is definitely not the only brave and heroic young hero!
While Yang Hong was seeking to break the situation, Lu Ji and the others on the other side were also very concerned about the situation.

From the first day when the Xuzhou army besieged the city, the noble families in the city who had intersected with Wang Zheng were strictly guarded. Yang Hong, who was also cautious, ordered that he temporarily move away from key positions such as the city gate.

The two sat in the official office at the back, listening to the sound of gold and iron horses outside the city every day, and Li Shu was very anxious. In contrast, Lu Ji was more calm, doing what he had to do every day , Drinking tea, playing chess and playing the piano, a school of celebrity and elegance, as if it has not been affected at all.

When Gan Ning took the initiative to ask for orders and planned to lead the elite out of the city that night, Li Shu finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to Lu's residence on his own initiative.

Seeing Li Shu's sudden entrance, Lu Ji looked at him with a smile, and waved away the servants around him.

Until the maidservant left, Li Shu looked left and right for a long time, making sure that there were no outsiders present, trotted forward, and complained in a low voice: "Wang Zhoumu has been besieging the city for many days, and the city has not yet been captured. If this delay continues, if Yuan Shu's army turns around , but what should I do?"

"Gong Ji, now is the time for you and my brothers to make meritorious deeds, and we need to help Zhou Mu!"

Hearing this, Lu Ji shook his head and said, "You and my brothers have been transferred away from the city gate by that fellow Yang Hong, and have no military power. How can we help each other?"

"Why do you need to hide it from me? Forgive me, you already have a plan in your chest, why don't you tell me quickly?"

"Brother Li, why did you say that?" Lu Ji pretended to be surprised and said, "Where did I come from so confident?"

"If you don't have a plan, why are you so leisurely?"

"It's nothing more than having fun while suffering."

"Gongji!"

Li Shu was displeased at the time, and stared at Lu Ji for a long time, seeing that he was still talking and laughing at Yan Yan, his expression unchanged, and suddenly realized something.

Since both of them have secretly turned to Wang Zheng, the other party is no longer his own official!

Even because the other party got involved with Xuzhou one step earlier, maybe in the future when Shouchun changes hands, who is the subordinate official and who is the superior, I am afraid it may still be uncertain.

Thinking of this, Li Shu's heart moved, and he restrained his anger slightly, and said in a low voice: "We have been planning for a long time, and whether we succeed or not, it will be up to us! When we met by the lake that day, what did Wang Zhoumu tell us? Could it be that you forgot about it? No way!"

"My lord's words, I will always keep them in my heart."

Lu Ji said sternly: "My lord said that day, when Master Wang arrives in Shouchun, if there is a chance, we can cooperate with the inside and outside, and quickly fall into the city, but who would have expected Yang Hong to be so cautious, just because Wang Xiong and I have met before. Twice, he took away my military power, and even brother Li was also implicated because of his friendship with me, not only that."

Speaking of this, he looked around and sneered again and again: "Except for Lianji's mansion, there are now people guarding it."

"It's not just about your family, my family has also been assigned a spy." As soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Shu became angry: "Yang Hong really deserves to be killed, so in terms of the current situation, we have to find a way to get rid of these things." Eyes and ears avoid."

"It's not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears."

Lu Ji said: "Master Wang's offensive is fierce day by day, and manpower is naturally tight under the pressure. I have observed secretly in the past few days and found that the spies outside the mansion have changed from one army to two. It is expected that in a few days, It can be completely purified, but what if the eyes and ears are gone?"

"I have already contacted Li Yu privately with Cheqi school lieutenant."

"These local generals had a close relationship with that Zhou Tai before, and they were also secretly guarded by Yang Hong. They were all taken away from the military power as early as the beginning of the siege, and even three of them were personally killed by Gan Ning under the pretext of "disobeying the general's order." Xiaoshou, hey, is this clearly an example of killing chickens to scare monkeys?"

"However, even if they seized the military power, these people are not completely powerless to fight back. Each of them has more than a hundred or as few as dozens of soldiers around them. In addition, some of the children and servants in the family are also skilled in martial arts. If they are connected together, they will be able to fight back." It is an elite force of over a thousand!"

Speaking of this, Li Shu's expression became more serious, and he said every word: "Gongji, among our group of people, you are the only one who is the most respected by Wangzhou Muqin. Li Yu has already said that, as long as you climb up and call They must gather their shadows and respond in groups, with the armed force of 1000 troops in hand, once it is activated at a critical moment, great things can happen!"

Lu Ji naturally knew what Li Shu meant by "critical moment" and "mobilization". After pondering for a moment, he said slowly, "1000 troops are weak after all. Brother Li, this matter is too dangerous."

"Dangerous?"

Li Shu snorted coldly and said: "Lu Gongji, how old are you, are you so forgetful? It was neither I, Li Shu, nor Li Yu who was the first to connect with Xuzhou. The matter has come to this, but you are the first The two ends of the mouse, becoming suspicious?"

"If the city is destroyed, you and I have not accomplished an inch, what face will we have to meet Wang Zhoumu again? We are completely different from his Shen family Zhao family."

Li Shu reminded: "These two families will achieve nothing. Wang Zhoumu will treat Jiangdong well if he wins Jiangdong. But my family is small and your Lu family is also in decline. If you and I don't expect our own family to rise up, we can count on it." Who is going?"

"What's more troublesome is another point!"

Li Shu said sternly: "Once Xuzhou's army fails to break through Shouchun, Yuan Shu rushes to help from Runan. If Wang Zhoumu fails, he will just pat his ass and return to Xuzhou, but what about you and me?"

"Yang Hong imprisoned Shen and Zhao families in the palace, and seized the military power of you, Li Yu and others. Obviously, he has long been suspicious. Now that the Xuzhou army is besieging the city, the outcome is hard to say, so he doesn't care about you and me. If we really wait until the Xuzhou army retreats and wait for them to free up their hands, even if you and I do nothing, will there be a way to survive?"

Hearing this, Lu Ji laughed, and stood up: "Brother Li is indeed as insightful as a torch. He sees the subtleties and knows the truth. He is unyielding in the face of adversity. He resolves the big doubts and is determined. I admire you."

Under Li Shu's stunned eyes, Lu Ji restrained his smile and said solemnly: "I'm telling you the truth. My thoughts are exactly the same as Brother Xian's. What I just said is just a joke!"

One must know that Lu Yi and other relatives of Lu Ji were quietly sent to Xuzhou very early, so among these "insiders" in the city, it was precisely Lu Ji who took refuge in the most thoroughly, and in his heart, he regarded himself as a courtier of the king's government earlier.

Just now, the reason why he refused to tell the truth to Li Shu was not "playing with each other", but actually "testing each other".Chaos in the city is Xuzhou's internal response.This is easier said than done.A little carelessness will be a catastrophe that will implicate the nine clans.Those who have to have a strong will can't do it.

Although Li Shu's previous performance was impassioned, he also had a reputation for being courageous and heroic, but when the matter became urgent, when it developed into a life-and-death situation, when it was time to get serious, what would he think?
Will he suddenly change his mind in fear of death?
Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts, the relationship between the two is said to be friendly, but it has not yet reached the point of life and death, so Lu Ji had to test it with words first, to see what he really thinks, this is also Lu Ji's prudence one side.

Now that he has found out his true intentions, Lu Ji no longer hides it. He smiled slightly, pointed to the outside of the wall, and said, "It's just that there are more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Shouchun City. Gan Ning and Yang Hong are not Yi Yi's people, 1000 troops are not enough, but fortunately, this is not really the only bargaining chip available to us!"

"What does Gongji mean?"

"So that brother Li will know," Lu Ji said leisurely, "My lord is ambitious, thoughtful, and foresighted. There has been an ambush in Shouchun City. Although the number is not large, it is full of elite tigers. Come here with your ear."

Li Shu hurriedly leaned closer to his ear, and after hearing Lu Ji's words, he was overjoyed, couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "What a way to subdue the army! What a Wang Zhoumu!" Then he asked: "Since that's the case, Gong Ji, when shall we start?" '

"The local generals on Li Yu's side seem to be unable to hold back anymore. Since that's the case, choosing a day is worse than hitting the sun, and it's tonight!"

"Okay, I'm going to inform them now!"

"Brother Li wait a minute." Seeing that Li Shu was about to step out of the courtyard, Lu Ji thought of something and hurriedly called out: "The matter is closely related. We must not talk lightly about the Xuzhou ambush army in our hands, that is Li Shu. Yu, you can't tell me too early!"

Li Yu and others have been in contact with Zhou Tai, and from Lu Ji's point of view, Zhou Tai is also a newly attached general, and may not have the full trust of Wang Zheng, so it's better to be careful.

"Gongji and relax, am I a person who doesn't know the importance?"

"So good."
