Yang Hong smiled when he heard this and said, "Then a small group of people will attack."
"I have been watching the enemy's formation for many days. Most of Xuzhou's main forces are stationed between the east and west gates. There are not many troops placed vertically between the north and south gates. The weather has been gloomy recently, and I can't even see my fingers when night falls.
, it’s just the right time.”
"We can first choose a general to deceive the east and west gates 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 many people and count them.
It's enough, if you run away while the chaos is happening, you will definitely succeed."
?????????"Hundreds of people?"
Hearing this, Gan Ning raised his eyebrows: "Yang Jijiu, the bravery of the Xuzhou army is now well known to the world. Even the people stationed on the grain road are not elite tiger warriors, so they should not be underestimated.
, hundreds of men and horses went to intercept it, it is difficult to be completely sure."
?????????"What General Gan said is true. Under normal circumstances, if you want to rob the king's thief's food route, you will need at least three thousand elites, but now..."
????????Yang Hong gently stroked the thin beard under his lips, squinting and said, "But it was this moment and that moment."
Facing the other party’s doubtful eyes, Yang Hong patiently explained: “Look, General Gan, it has been raining for several days. There are few stone slabs on the roads outside the city and they are already muddy. The grain trucks are very heavy.
If there are too many, it will definitely be difficult to walk, but my cavalry is more flexible and takes advantage of it, so a few hundred is enough."
?????????"So, when is the best time to take action?"
"Without further delay, we can do it tonight. Winning the battle will also boost the morale of the army."
???????? Having said this, Yang Hong summoned the generals, looked around and asked: "Everyone, if the lone army leaves the city and successfully steals the food route, the situation of the battle can be reversed. However, this matter is quite dangerous. But
Which general is willing to go there?"
When Li Ren heard this, his heart moved. He even wanted to stand up and step forward, but before he could take a step forward, he felt a force coming from behind, pulling the skirt of his clothes, and his whole body staggered sideways.
???????Who is so rude?
Li Ren was furious. He turned around and saw that this man had straps on his shoulders and a pale face. It was Liang Gang who was almost killed by Wei Yan on the top of the city.
Liang Gang didn't look sideways, completely ignoring Li Ren's angry eyes. He just jumped out, raised his chest and raised his head, shouting: "The final general is willing to go!"
?????????"Captain Liang?" Yang Hong was startled when he heard this: "This trip has great responsibilities and dangers. You are injured, how did you get there?"
?????????"A small injury, nothing to worry about!"
???????Liang Gang got into his stance and waved his long sword once on the top of the city in front of everyone. His steps were vigorous and vigorous, and he didn't seem to be injured. He said with enthusiasm: "
On that day, I followed my lord in the battle with Cao Cao's bandit in Fengqiu Kuangting. I was hit by four or five arrows from the bandit's army. Didn't I also kill a general of the Yanzhou Army? "
Since he was asking for a fight, he naturally wanted to mention the most impressive record in his life, but Liang Gang forgot one thing.
Although his personal performance in the Kuangting battle was good, the final result was that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, completely blocking Yuan Shu's ambition to enter the Central Plains from Runan north, and finally had no choice but to go south.
He led the rest of his troops to Jiujiang County, killed Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, and took over Yangzhou as herdsman, separatizing Jiangdong.
????????really...
?????????Hearing this, Yang Hong frowned slightly. This time plagiarizing Liangdao is a small group of people, so naturally it requires a general with both wisdom and courage to do it. Liang Gang's military bravery is indeed good.
, but the other party's words made Yang Hong feel that this servant was also foolhardy, which was really inappropriate. But who else could he send besides Liang Gang?
?????????Li Ren? He is smarter than Liang Gang, but he is somewhat less courageous.
?????????In fact, the most suitable one is naturally Gan Ning. The problem is that Gan Ning is currently the apparent commander of the Shouchun garrison. It is inconvenient for Yang Hong to take the initiative to call him, and secondly, he is afraid of anything unexpected.
, the loss was too great, I kept counting and looking around, but I still couldn't find a suitable candidate. At this moment, Gan Ning suddenly said: "Yang Jijiu, how about I personally lead the army?"
?????????"General Gan is going?" Yang Hong was startled when he heard this: "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 Jiujiu say just now that if this battle is successful, the situation can be changed? Doesn't it require a general with both wisdom and courage?"
?????????Looking around, Gan Ning looked up to the sky and smiled. His laughter was full of indescribable pride and confidence: "When it comes to wisdom and courage, giving up
???????Who am I?”
????????His heroic spirit seemed to be born with him. For a moment, everyone was in awe, and no one showed any disbelief or dissatisfaction. Yang Hong was also convinced.
After pondering for a long time, Yang Hong nodded, agreed to Gan Ning's request, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The general is a true hero. In this case, I will appoint Liang Gang and you as my deputy. Liang Gang
..."
?????????"The end is here!"
?????????"At the fifth watch tonight, you will lead the army out of the east and west city gates and make a feint."
?????????"Here!"
?????????"General Gan."
????????"exist."
?????????"You go down to the city immediately and go back to the camp to select five hundred elite men. No matter the armor or weapons are painted black, it will be the fifth watch tonight. When there is a chaos outside the east and west city gates, you two
We will take advantage of the chaos to leave the city and look for an opportunity to steal the food route. Once this is accomplished and our army has won a complete victory, I will present it to the lord in person, and the first prize will definitely be in the pockets of the two generals!"
?????????"I swear to never disgrace my life!"
????????There is a kind of person in the world. The more he faces strong enemies and encounters difficulties, the more motivated he becomes.
?????????This is how Gan Ning encountered stronger and stronger people. Faced with unprecedentedly powerful opponents such as Wang Zheng and Xuzhou Army, it inspired him to have unprecedented fighting spirit!
When he thought about it, it was not enough to just keep Shouchun intact, but he also had to frustrate the Xuzhou Army's edge head-on!
????????Only by shining brightly in this battle where all the princes are paying attention can the world clearly know one thing...
?????????In this world where heroes rise up and dragons and snakes compete for supremacy, Wang Yukou is by no means the only brave and heroic young hero!
??????????......
While Yang Hong was seeking to break the situation, Lu Ji and others on the other side were also very concerned about the situation.
From the first day when the Xuzhou army besieged the city, all the famous families in the city who had interacted with Wang Zheng were strictly monitored. Although Lu Ji and Li Shu secretly defected to Wang Zheng, it was not exposed, but because of the previous
He had an encounter with Wang Xiong, and was ordered by Yang Hong, who was also cautious, to temporarily move him away from key positions such as the city gate.
????????The two of them were sitting in the official office at the back, listening to the sounds of fighting outside the city every day. Li Shu looked very anxious, but Lu Ji was more calm in comparison.
, do whatever you need to do every day, drink tea, play chess and play the piano, with the elegance of a celebrity, as if you are not affected at all.
?????????Just 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 took the initiative to come to the Lu Mansion. At this time, Lu Ji was drinking tea leisurely under the pavilion in the backyard.
Enjoy the rain.
Seeing Li Shu suddenly come to the door, Lu Ji looked at him with a smile and waved away several maids around him.
?????????Until the maid left, Li Shu looked around for a long time and made sure that no one else was present. He quickly ran forward and complained in a low voice: "Wang Zhoumu has been besieging the city for many days, and even the city head has not been captured yet. This
If we continue to delay like this, what will happen if Yuan Shu's army turns back?"
?????????"Gong Ji, now is the time for you and my brothers to make meritorious deeds, and we need to lend a helping hand to Zhou Mu!"
Lu Ji shook his head when he heard this and said, "Now that you and my brothers have been transferred away from the city gate by Yang Hong, we no longer have military power, how can we help each other?"
?????????"Why do you have to hide it from me? I'm sure you already have it in mind, why don't you tell me quickly?"
?????????"Brother Li, why did you say this?" Lu Ji pretended to be surprised and said, "Where did I get such a complete plan?"
?????????"If you don't have a plan, why are you so leisurely and comfortable?"
?????????"It's nothing more than joy in suffering."
?????????"Official discipline!"
?????????Li Shudeng felt unhappy and stared at Lu Ji for a long time. Seeing that he was still talking and laughing, with his expression unchanged, he suddenly realized something.
????????Since both of them secretly defected to Wang Zheng, the other party is actually no longer their official!
????????Even because the other party got involved in Xuzhou earlier, maybe when Shouchun changes hands in the future, who will be the official of whom, and who will be the superior of whom?
.
?????????Thinking of this, Li Shu's heart moved. He immediately restrained his anger and said in a low voice: "We have been planning for many days. Whether it will succeed or not, it will depend on this day! We will meet by the lake that day. What will Wangzhou Mu say to us?
Yes? Could it be that you have forgotten the official rules!"
????????"My lord's words will naturally be kept in mind at all times.
????????.」
Lu Ji said seriously: "My lord said that day, when Master Wang arrives in Shouchun, if there is a chance, he can cooperate with the inside and the outside to fall into the city quickly. But who would have expected that Yang Hong would be so cautious?
Just because Wang Xiong met me twice, he took away my military power. Even Brother Li was implicated because of his friendship with me. Not only that..."
After saying this, he looked around and sneered: "Everyone outside Lien Ji's mansion is now under guard."
????????"Not only your family, but also my family has been placed in charge." As soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Shu became furious: "Yang Hong really deserves to be killed, so given the current situation.
So, we have to find a way to avoid these eyes and ears."
?????????"It's not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears."
Lu Ji said: "The King's offensive is becoming more and more fierce every day, and manpower is naturally tight under pressure. In the past few days, I have been observing secretly, and I have discovered that the number of spies outside the house has changed from one team to two.
, I expect that in a few days, I will be completely clean, but what if I lose my ears and eyes?"
?????????"I have contacted the Riding School Lieutenant Li Yu privately."
?????????"These local generals had close contacts with Zhou Tai before, and they were also secretly wary of Yang Hong. As early as the beginning of the siege, they all had their military power taken away, and three of them were even captured by Gan Ning.
He personally killed the owl under the pretext of "disobeying the general's orders". Hey, is this clearly trying to scare the monkeys?"
?????????"It's just that even if they have seized 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, plus some of the children and servants at home.
They are all skilled in martial arts, and when connected together, they form an elite force of over a thousand people!"
????????? Speaking of this, Li Shu's expression became more solemn, and he said every word: "Gongji, among our group of people, you are the most respected by Wangzhou Mu at present. Li Yu has already said that.
, as long as you climb up and call out, they will definitely gather their followers and respond in groups. With these thousands of troops in hand, once activated at the critical moment, great things can be done!"
Lu Ji naturally knew what Li Shu meant by "critical moment" and "activation". He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "A thousand men and horses are weak after all. Brother Li, this matter is too much."
It’s dangerous.”
?????????"Dangerous?"
Hearing this, Li Shu snorted coldly: "Lu Gongji, how old are you, are you so forgetful? The first one to get in touch with Xuzhou was neither me, Li Shu, nor him, Li Yu."
, the matter has come to this, but you are confused and indecisive?"
?????????"If the city is destroyed and you and I have not accomplished anything, how can we meet Wangzhou Mu again? We are completely different from the Shen family and the Zhao family."
????????Li Shu reminded: "These two families have accomplished nothing. Wang Zhoumu will treat Jiangdong well, but my family is a small family, and your Lu family is also in decline. If you and I
If you don’t expect your own family to rise up, who else can you expect?”
?????????"What's more troublesome is another point!"
????????Li Shu said with a stern voice: "Once the Xuzhou army failed to break through Shouchun, but Yuan Shu rushed in from Runan for reinforcements, Wangzhou Mu could not accomplish anything, so he could just slap his butt and return to Xuzhou, but what about you and me?
"
?????????"Yang Hong will sink, summon several people to imprison the palace, and seize the military power of you, me, Li Yu and others. It has obviously been suspected for a long time. Now the Xuzhou army is besieging the city, and the outcome is hard to say, so he
I don’t care about taking care of you and me. If we really wait until the Xuzhou army retreats and have their hands free, even if you and I don’t do anything, will there be any way to survive?”
?????????Hearing this, Lu Ji laughed and stood up: "Brother Li is indeed as sharp as a torch, knowing the smallest things, being uncompromising in the face of great difficulties, and being determined when dealing with big doubts. I admire him."
?????????In Li Shu's stunned eyes, Lu Ji suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "I'm telling you the truth. What I think is exactly the same as brother Xian. What I just said is just a joke." !」
????????You must know that Lu Yi and other Lu Ji's relatives were quietly sent to Xuzhou very early, so among these "internal agents" in the city, it was Lu Ji who had surrendered the most thoroughly, and in his heart, even earlier He regarded himself as a minister of the royal government.
???????The reason why he refused to tell the truth to Li Shu just now was not a "play", but a "test". It was to cause chaos in the city and to respond to Xuzhou's internal response. This is easy to say but difficult to do. .If you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe for the nine clans. Only a determined person can do this.
?????????Although Li Shu's previous performance was impassioned and had a reputation for being courageous and heroic, when the matter became urgent and developed into a matter of life and death,
????????It’s time to get serious, what will he think?
???????Will you suddenly change your mind in fear of death?
?????????Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing their hearts. The relationship between the two is friendly, but it has not yet reached the level of life and death. Therefore, Lu Ji had to test it with words first to see what he really wanted. What, this is also the cautious side of Lu Ji.
?????????Having tested his true intentions, Lu Ji no longer concealed anything. He smiled slightly, pointed outside the wall, and said, "But what I said just now is not false. In Shouchun City, There are still more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and Gan Ning and Yang Hong are not easy people. One thousand soldiers and horses is not enough, but fortunately, this is not really the only bargaining chip in our hands!"
?????????"What does Gongji mean?"
"So that Brother Li will know about it," Lu Ji said leisurely: "My lord is ambitious, thoughtful and foresighted. There has been an ambush in Shouchun City for a long time. Although the number is not high. There are many, but they are all tigers and elites. Come here with your ears..."
Li Shu hurriedly leaned closer and listened to Lu Ji. He was overjoyed and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a way to ambush the army! What a Wangzhou shepherd!" Then he asked again: "In that case, sir, sir." Ji, when will we start?
?????????"It seems that the local generals on Li Yu's side can't hold themselves back anymore. In this case, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun, tonight!"
?????????"Okay, I'll go notify them now!"
?????????"Brother Li, wait a minute." Seeing Li Shu about to step out of the courtyard, Lu Ji thought of something and hurriedly called out: "This matter is very important. We must not take lightly the Xuzhou ambush army in our hands." Talk to others, even Li Yu can’t tell you too early!”
Li Yu and others have been in contact with Zhou Tai, and in Lu Ji's view, Zhou Tai is also a newly attached general, and may not necessarily have the trust of Wang Zheng, so it is better to be careful.
?????????"Please be patient and relax, am I a person who doesn't know the importance of things?"
