"What the general said is true!"

"The pass in the north has secretly lost contact with the capital, but Kuai Qi and Prefect Meng are still kept in the dark."

"I am afraid that only the Shen family, who has always been a top-notch person, can have the strength to complete all this without anyone noticing."

"And the other party's behavior is clearly to lure Cao's army to fight for the Shangyong lands, and then sweep over the three eastern counties."

After Ma Di heard this, he immediately figured out the plans among the wealthy families.

Hearing this, Zhao Tong lost all the smile on his face at this time, but showed a deep serious look, and responded: "This matter is also obvious."

"After the last battle, the armed forces among the wealthy clans in Shangyong were basically destroyed by our army."

"They are even secretly uniting now."

"But relying on their own strength alone, they cannot compete with our army."

"Then the only way is to send people to unite with Cao's family to lure Cao's army in to take charge of the overall situation."

Zhao Tongjian confided solemnly.

"But since these scoundrels are determined to go all the way to death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After a while, the words fell.

A sinister look appeared on Zhao Tong's face instantly.

For this group of wealthy people.

There was no mercy in his eyes.

As a general, although he did not have the right to independently deal with the local wealthy families.

But he has the right to suppress rebellion.

He has not taken the initiative to take action against these families now.

Instead, they were quietly waiting for the local families to lead Cao's army over.

Until then.

Even if he confiscated the houses of wealthy families and exterminated them, it was still his duty.

Which one is lighter and which one is more serious?

Zhao Tong still made a very clear distinction.

As time passes day by day.

Niu Jin, the general who was ordered to lead his troops from Wancheng and march all the way to Shangyong, also passed through all the Shangyong passes without any hindrance.

At this moment, he was marching toward the capital at a rapid pace.

With the help of local families along the way.

It can also be said to be extremely smooth.

In the dark night.

Cao's army formed a fighting formation and marched at night with sparse torches.

gradually……

The outline of the majestic city in front gradually appeared.

"General Niu, the front is about to reach the gate of Shangyong's capital city."

"Oh, really? Are you ready?"

Hearing the words and the words of Shen Yi from the side, although he looked burly and extremely thick, he was not a strong man with one muscle.

He also quickly asked about the upcoming military situation.

"General, please take it easy."

"Yi has made arrangements in the city, and the fire will be lit when the army is approaching the city."

"At that time, some people in the city will take the opportunity to open the city gate and welcome General Niu and his army into the city."

Facing the Cao Jun athletes who are like wolves and tigers behind them, and their military power is in full swing.

Shen Yi was also a little frightened and said with a smile.

After Shen Yi fully revealed all the information.

The solemn expression on Niu Jin's face just faded away.

The army still maintained order and marched into the city.

The closer to the city.

The more lively the city is.

And all the way.

It also happened from time to time that Cao Jun robbed villagers on the road.

And about this matter.

No one cares about Niu Jin at all!

Probably because this is the military discipline of Cao Jun.

In addition to conquering cities and territories, and often massacring cities.

Incidents such as robberies are simply unavoidable.

Except for Yu Jin, Xu Huang and other generals in Cao's army, they were strict in running the army.

Even the clan generals such as Cao Ren.

Nor did they pay much attention to the matter of robbery.

Long-term plundering!

This is also a problem that has persisted in Cao's army for many years.

This night.

The villagers who had been looted around Shangyong were all very angry at the sudden intrusion of the army.

But there is nothing we can do!

After all, the villagers did not have the strength to resist the powerful.

And after the army gradually approached the city.

Shen Yi led his servants and guards to the front.

He was ready to send out the signal he had agreed on early in the morning.

Let the soldiers hidden in the city prepare to attack the city.

Be the first to walk to the front in the dark.

Immediately afterwards.

Groups of firelights were raised one after another, illuminating the sky above.

Just like daylight!

The signal is sent.

All that's left is to wait.

But it took a long time to wait.

But there was not the slightest movement in the city.

A moment.

Between the military formations.

As a battle-hardened general, Niu Jin was the first to feel an unusual smell.

"Master Shen, what's going on?"

"Why is there no movement at all?"

After calling Shen Yi back, he immediately scolded with a serious look on his face.

"General Niu, calm down, calm down..."

"I have already arranged this matter well, there is no way anything could go wrong."

"Wait for me to release another signal."

After saying that, his expression could not help but become extremely solemn, and suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

But he didn't want to believe that his plan was leaked.

"It's impossible. Every aspect of this matter was carried out secretly, and the information was conveyed by close confidants."

"There is no way this matter will be exposed."
