Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

At the second watch, Liu Bei and Chen Bao each quietly led their troops out of the camp and acted separately.

Although the military discipline of Xuzhou soldiers is very strict, although Chen Bao is a person, he is not selfish in the execution of military discipline. Since he settled in the city, he has never disturbed the people. There was friction from time to time, and there were several small-scale armed fights, which caused the people in the city to be uneasy, for fear that the city gate would catch fire and bring disaster to the pond fish. Therefore, even during the daytime, there were few pedestrians on the streets of the county. Under the curfew order, not a single person was seen on the street.

I could only smell the sound of the two groups of soldiers and horses rushing along the road behind the camp. Weapons and armor sometimes collided, and in the cold night, a little distance was heard. Frozen clouds covered the moon. reflected on the road.

The Xuzhou soldiers in Rencheng were divided into two major parts. One part was stationed in the city, and the other part was stationed in several camps outside the city. Liu Bei brought the main force in the city, and Chen Bao only brought part of his personal soldiers. He ordered the camp outside the city and ordered the garrison to rush to the city gate to wait. But he did not say that Chen Bao left the city, and after meeting the troops and horses in the camp outside the city, attacked Lu Qian's camp outside the city, only Liu Bei.

In order to be successful in this operation, Liu Bei brought all the elite soldiers and strong generals under his account. The two commanders, Zhuo Ying and Sima Shiren, led their respective divisions. Under the walls on the four sides of the prefecture, Liu Bei personally led Zhanqian, Chen Shi and others to attack the main entrance of the prefecture. Before leaving, Liu Bei issued a military order, ordering that none of the people in the prefecture could let go, and the prime minister of the state, Zheng Sui, must be captured alive.

Although Rencheng is small, it is also a county, with prime ministers and prime ministers. Like other counties, the position of the county chief is only second to the prime minister, but he does not have much real power. Therefore, Liu Bei did not invest in the county chief of Rencheng. Too much attention, just sent a song of soldiers to the Juncheng Mansion to capture. The same as the Han clan, Liu Bei treated King Rencheng very favorably, and specially sent the long Shi Yinchun to the palace of the prince of Rencheng, so as to avoid Zheng Sui's stubborn resistance, resulting in a war, so that if the city was in chaos, it could be guaranteed that the palace of the prince of Rencheng would not be affected. Influencing, to ensure the safety of Rencheng Wang.

Zheng Sui and Lu Qian also had garrisoned troops in the city, and their garrison was on the west side of the prefecture.

Liu Bei thought: First, the thief will be captured first, and the king will be captured first. As long as Zheng Sui can be captured, then the Rencheng soldiers in the city will not be a concern. Second, it is already the second watch. To organize an effective offense and defense, for Renchengying, he only dispatched a few soldiers and horses to respond. These soldiers and horses were mainly bowmen, and asked them to preemptively occupy the commanding heights and key points around Renchengying. The soldiers of the city camp came out to save the county, and they shot at the top to stop them from causing chaos.

The entire deployment of troops and the deployment of arms were well arranged by Liu Bei, the key points were prominent, and the collocations were appropriate, especially the pre-prepared protective measures for the Rencheng Palace, which showed that he was well thought out and relatively mature in politics.

The soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrived at the designated positions one after another, and all the elites were clearing the way in front. Fan Zheng Sui set up the night guards in half of the urban area under his control, and they were all dealt with silently, until the county government. Completely surrounded, the people in the county do not know it yet.

Zheng Sui built watchtowers in the four corners of the county house, but the weather was too cold, and even though there was friction between Xuzhou soldiers and Rencheng soldiers, neither Chen Bao nor Liu Bei had any intention of taking over the city. The officials and pawns who were on duty on the watchtower were all drowsy around the fire, and they didn't even notice that Liu Bei's troops were coming. Standing in the middle of the ministry, Liu Bei looked up at the nearby watchtower. He could see the light of the brazier on the watchtower and the figures of the guards and guards. Gu said to Zhanqian, "The fair plan has been accomplished!"

After Chen Bao entered Rencheng County, although he fought against Zheng Sui and Lu Qian, he showed a lot of goodwill to the officials and soldiers of Rencheng's soldiers. When improving the food and getting some cattle and sheep to eat, they will also send someone to send it to Renchengying. No matter whether the generals and commanders of Renchengying dare to ask for it or not, at least make them feel that Chen Bao is not hostile to them. This is also an important reason why the officers and soldiers on duty in the county government are so slack.

Liu Bei waved his hand and motioned for the drummers accompanying the army to beat the drums of war.

In the silent night, the beating of the drums suddenly sounded, and almost at the same time as the sound of the drums, the front and rear gates of the county house and the surrounding walls began to be violently attacked by Liu Bei's trilogy. Liu Bei and Chen Bao each had their own equipment for sieging the city. The prefecture was not as good as the city, so those equipment could not be used here. Liu and Chen temporarily ordered the soldiers to make some small siege vehicles and ladders. And so on, at this time, these instruments were taken out, and the front and back doors of the county house were only pushed open a few times before they were knocked open by siege vehicles. Soldiers like a flood of soldiers either entered through the door, or climbed the ladder to go over the height. Wall, to enter the mansion, but after a while, the county mansion shouted and killed everywhere.

Liu Bei's hair is not prosperous, and his beard is soft and sparse. It doesn't look good if you keep it, so it's better not to keep it, because he has no beard under his chin. At this time, he touched his smooth chin, watched the fire in the county house, and listened to the call to kill. Sound shock, in the killing field of this cold night, I should have felt excited, but it was quite boring. I thought that Zheng Sui would resist desperately, maybe there would be a fierce battle to fight, but I didn't expect to break in so easily. When he entered the county mansion, he felt that he had no sense of accomplishment, and said to Zhanqian: "Emperor Yan, Qing Ke has entered the mansion."

There were not many soldiers who knew Zheng Sui, so it was necessary for Zhan Qian to identify him.

Zhan Qian agreed to the promise, was guarded by more than ten armored soldiers, followed behind the soldiers who rushed to the county mansion, stepped on the mansion gate that was knocked down to the ground~www.readwn.com~ entered the mansion, went straight to the back house, went to find Zheng Sui. As the leader of Liu Bei's personal troops, Chen Shi got along with Liu Bei day and night, got to know him a little bit, knew his thoughts, and seeing that there were no outsiders nearby, he said to Liu Bei: "It is easy to destroy the prefecture, because it can show that the generals use troops like God, if you capture Zheng Sui, you won't be able to escape with this feat of control over the whole city."

Liu Bei glanced back at Chen Shi, corrected him sternly, and said, "Although Zheng Xiang is an enemy, he is also a scholar-officer, and you can't call him by his first name!"

Chen Shi replied, "Yes."

Subsequent soldiers continued to go to the county house, and the soldiers who rushed in kept coming out, and those who came out were all captured prisoners and presented to Liu Bei. The official residence was in the county mansion, and as long as there were no officials who did not have Shumu, they lived in the official residence. That is, when the official residence was attacked, Liu Bei's work was hindered a little, and several brave county officials gathered nearby. Some officials tried to resist, but they were quickly defeated. Before the third watch, all the official houses were taken down. Except for some of the more than one hundred county officials who were killed due to their recalcitrance, all the rest were captured. . Liu Bei took a high look at the undeceased among the few county officials who dared to resist. Even if he was scolded by them, he would do it on his own, with the same smile. He ordered the military doctor to heal his wounds. .

Suddenly, soldiers rushed to report: The back door is in emergency, please send Liu Bei to help. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
