The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 569
Zhang Miao's way of thinking is easy to understand.

Your Yuan family in Runan is very powerful, and you, Yuan Benchu, are the direct son and grandson of the Yuan family. You are known as a model in the world, and everyone responds to everyone. I, Zhang Miao, naturally choose to support you.

Although Yuan Shao was born of a maidservant, he was adopted by his father to pass on the incense to his uncle Yuan Cheng who died early. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the direct son and grandson of the Yuan family.

Earlier, you, Yuan Shao, said that it would be profitable to crusade against Liu Bei, and if everyone can carve up the big cake of Xuzhou, then I, Zhang Miao, will follow you.

After all, everyone can see that it is a chaotic world that has not been seen in a century.A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, we aristocratic families always have to report to the regiment to keep warm before we can grow bigger and stronger.

Well, since my Zhang brothers bet all of their wealth and life on your head, Yuan Shao, there must be rewards, not to mention how much territory can be divided, at least there must be some visible benefits.

But now, not only did a tug-of-war in Taishan fail to eliminate Liu Bei, but was taken by Lin Zichu, which led to the fall of Jizhou, and now even Yanzhou cannot be kept.

I, Zhang Miao, made a wrong bet and lost the territory, I think so.

But you, Yuan Yifei, want to drag me to be buried with your Yuan family, isn't it too difficult for others!

Even if the two of my brothers were supported by your Yuan family back then, it was not enough to pay for it with the loss of our wealth and life.

Therefore, when Yuan Yi was unwilling to surrender, Zhang Miao brazenly chose to launch an attack. After holding Yuan Yi hostage, he surrendered to Liu Bei.

So far, the fighting in Changyi City has come to an end.

After receiving the news of Zhang Miao's surrender, Zhao Yun did not dare to make a claim. On the one hand, he commanded the army to control these surrendered soldiers, and on the other hand, he sent Lin Xi to report the news to Liu Bei, asking him to enter the city to accept the surrender.

When the news reached Liu Bei's ears, Liu Bei was receiving Zhang Ji, the magistrate of Jishi Mansion, who hurried over from Tan County.

This battle started yesterday morning, until this morning, when Lin Xi dug through the city wall of Changyi and led his army into the city, Liu Bei was relieved.

The outcome of this battle has been decided.

The rest is nothing more than how long Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi can hold on.

As early as the beginning of the siege, Liu Bei ordered people to dig the dam blocking Sishui, and the water no longer continued to flow to Changyi City, but the post-war plague prevention and control work was still left to professionals.

Liu Bei told Zhang Ji about the series of situations that happened before, and at the end he asked a little worriedly: "Mr. Zhongjing, with the current situation in the city, will there be a plague?"

Zhang Ji was very happy about Liu Bei's actions of attaching importance to the plague and caring about people's livelihood, but when he thought about the situation in the city, he frowned again.

"My lord, the city has been flooded for half a month. The people in the city must have drunk and eaten a lot of dirty things by mistake. It is inevitable to get sick. But if there are not a large number of corpses rotting in the wilderness, the plague may not break out. However, the specific situation, I have to go to the city to investigate in person before I can come to a conclusion.

My subordinates believe that after conquering the city, it is not appropriate for the army to enter immediately, and the people in the city, whether soldiers or civilians, should not leave the city for the time being. "

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded, and said, "Okay, I will follow what Mr. said."

Just as the two were discussing the details, Lin Xi arrived and reported the news of Zhang Miao's surrender to Liu Bei.

Hearing this, Liu Bei was delighted. After all, if the opponent is willing to surrender, it can still reduce some casualties, which is much better than stubborn resistance to the end.

"Let's go, everyone, let's enter the city with XX!"

With a wave of his sleeves, Liu Bei immediately mounted his mount and led the crowd into the city.

……

Changyuan City.

Just when Liu Bei flooded Changyi and led his army to break through the city, there was silence in Changyuan City.

Before Guan Yu's fierce attack for more than ten days, Cao Cao was really taken aback. Although he failed to conquer the city in the end, if Guan Yu continued to attack with such intensity, Changyuan City would not be able to defend for a long time.

Fortunately, Guan Yu's offensive lasted less than half a month before it died down, and the offensive and defensive sides entered a confrontation again.

Another four or five days passed, and Cao Cao saw that the Xuzhou army still had no intention of continuing to attack. Although the guard was still strict, the atmosphere in the city was not as tense as before.Most of the soldiers, whose nerves had been tense, also relaxed.

The night is like water, and the moon is like a scene.

The weather at the end of July is still extremely hot, and the autumn tiger is raging fiercely in the sky and the earth. Even if there is not much to come, it will still struggle to the death, showing its ferocious power like a shining light to the world.

Xin Ping stood alone on the tower with his hands behind his back, looking at the camp of the Xuzhou Army in the distance, there was an indescribable look in his eyes, like a little bit of starlight, although extremely faint but never extinguished.

After staring at it for a long time, Xin Ping let out a sigh, but took out a folding fan in his hand.

This is a folding fan made of fragrant wood. The bones of the fan are blue as a whole, but there are two classic quotes on the fan.

Positive: Its government is dull, its people are honest.

Negative: Its politics are inspected, and its people are lacking.

Xin Ping opened the folding fan, and looked at the sixteen characters repeatedly by the moonlight. After a while, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This word... is as ugly, vulgar, and unsightly as his methods..."

After talking to himself, Xin Ping couldn't help laughing, and eventually the laughter became louder and louder.

……

In the camp outside Changyuan City.

Lin Chao looked at the generals seriously, and began to give orders.

After getting an affirmative reply from the city, Lin Chao summoned all the generals and announced the night attack plan for tonight.

"Yide, I ordered you to be the vanguard this time, but seeing the fire in the city, when the city gate was wide open, I led [-] elites to rush in. We must seize control of the city gate as soon as possible!"

"As ordered!"

After Zhang Fei heard the words, he immediately stood up and responded loudly with excitement.

Because the previous attack was blocked, he was ridiculed by everyone, and there were several arrow wounds on his body. Zhang Fei couldn't wait to enter the city and kill Cao Cao to vent his hatred.

"Wen Yuan, I ordered you to lead an army of [-] as the main force of the Chinese army. After Yide rushed into the city, he led his army straight to the place where Cao thief was, and captured him. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. If it succeeds, you will be here First victory!"

"As ordered!"

Zhang Liao also quickly got up and clasped his fists in response.

"Yun Chang, you will be the main general for this attack, and you will deploy all the remaining troops." Lin Chao looked at Guan Yu and said, "Even if we break through the city gate, there are still tens of thousands of enemy troops in the city at this moment, so this is destined to be a tough battle.

But this battle is only allowed to win, not to lose! "

In order to take down the Changyuan City, Lin Chao had already used his dark hands at all costs. If he was finally beaten back by Cao Cao this time, it would be difficult to break the city in the future, and the remaining food and grass in the army would not be allowed.

"Don't worry, Zichu, as long as you can break through the city gate, a certain person will be able to capture the city and kill the leader of the bandits!"

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said confidently.

The murderous intent in his eyes was about to condense into substance, which was daunting.

"Okay, let's go to your respective armies to prepare for the night battle!"

"only!"

Everyone clasped their fists in unison.

……

Four quarters when the night is ugly.

The night was pitch black, and Changyuan City was also quiet. Except for the soldiers standing at the top of the city guarding the city, everyone fell asleep and slept soundly.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a burst of flames erupted from the top of the city, and before the soldiers under the city gate realized what was going on, they heard the sound of horseshoes outside the city.

In the dark night, the city guards had to light torches, and when they were about to find out, there was a loud noise behind them, and a team of 500 people rushed out from nowhere, and massacred them.

"Who are you under..."

The head of the village in charge of guarding the gate yelled, and rushed out to question the group of people, but before he finished speaking, he was shot in the chest by the leader, and he died.

This attack was so sudden that the soldiers under the city gate had no time to react.They never dreamed that the danger would come from behind.

But this team, who came from nowhere, completed the backstab extremely quickly, and then lowered the city gate.

At this time, Zhang Fei happened to lead someone to kill the city.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that the city gate was wide open, Zhang Fei was overjoyed. He pointed his spear in the city and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"

The quiet night was broken, and Changyuan City fell into the noise, kicking off the prelude to this bloody feast.

On a high ground not far from the city, Lin Chao stood with his hands behind his back, Xun You and Cui Jun stood beside him, and Zhang Yun led a thousand soldiers who were trapped in the formation to defend.

A specific battle plan had been drawn up, and Lin Chao considered that his small body was not suitable for fighting, so he handed over the command of the entire battle to Guan Yu, and he was happy to relax.

At this time, seeing Zhang Fei leading his army into the Changyuan City, Xun You's eyes were full of amazement.

This was a fortified city that had never been able to take half a step no matter how it attacked before, but now it was so easily breached, which made Xun You a little dazed.

"Sure enough, internal response is the best way to attack a city..." Xun You sighed.

At this time, how can he not understand that there are people of his own in the city, and it seems that the position is not low, otherwise how can he open the city gate at night?

Lin Chao waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Gongda's words are true. The strongest fortress since ancient times has been breached from the inside."

"Uncle Gao Lun!" Xun You also laughed and said, "I just don't know how long it will take General Guan to take down the city defense. After all, street fighting is different from battle in formation, and the enemy always occupies the ground."

"Even if there is a favorable location, our army will surely win this battle." Lin Chao said confidently, "Although Cao Mengde has tens of thousands of troops under his command, most of his soldiers were recruited this year and have not undergone much training. Most of them are just recruits. There are less than one armored person.

On the other hand, my Xuzhou warriors are all elites of hundreds of battles and have abundant armaments. Once a hand-to-hand battle is fought, they will be like a tiger joining a flock of sheep, unstoppable! "

Xun You thought about it, and it seemed to be the same.

All this is due to Xuzhou's Liangjiazi recruitment system. As a result, there is no army in the world that can compete with the Xuzhou army with the same number.

Frankly speaking, if Lin Chaoken recruited soldiers and horses like other princes, the number of Xuzhou's army could more than double.

But doing so would not only waste food and grass, but also reduce the combat power of the army.

There is a saying that soldiers are not many, but fine!
The policy of elite soldiers pursued by Xuzhou today is the best portrayal of this sentence.

After a moment of silence, Xun You asked again: "Uncle, there is still one thing you don't know."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Yuan Benchu ​​was kind to the Xin brothers, and now he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Why did he, Xin Zhongzhi, turn against him?"

Lin Chao turned his head, looked at Xun You and said with a smile, "Gongda really wants to know?"

Xun You nodded.

"This matter is actually quite simple." Lin Chao said with a smile, "Brother Xin is quite talented and learned, and he is not a flatterer. Naturally, he will not do things that betray the Lord."

"Then why..."

"Gongda, do you think there is a possibility that the Xin brothers were never Yuan Benchu's people?"

After Xun You heard the words, a flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.

Sure enough, this is the case, and only in this way, many things can be explained.

Just, when did the Xin brothers surrender?
Probably aware of Xun You's doubts, Lin Chao continued to laugh and said, "It's a bit of a coincidence to talk about it. At that time, Han Wenjie was forced to commit suicide by Yuan Benchu, and the old department was filled with righteous indignation. At that time, a certain person was thinking about whether he could attract some people to come over, so he Let Wen Ruo revise a book, but the effect is remarkable."

Although Han Fu is a Jizhou shepherd, he is from Yingchuan, and there were many Yingchuan talents who followed him into Jizhou, such as Guo Tu and Xin Ping brothers.

Naturally, Lin Chao didn't have much friendship with these people, but he couldn't help that Xun Yu had a wide range of friends, and he was a golden signboard in Yingchuan, so Lin Chao asked him to write letters to solicit.

"Uncle is far-sighted, my nephew admires it!"

Xun You cupped his hands.

Looking at the city again, it was already in chaos.

Even though this night attack was unexpected, after Zhang Fei entered the city, he still encountered fierce resistance from the city guards.

However, what Zhang Fei led this time was the elite selected from the tens of thousands of Xuzhou's army. Even if they were resisted by the enemy's army several times that of his own, they still pushed the battle line into the city step by step.

In order to boost morale, Zhang Fei rushed to the front, harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers like mowing grass.

As far as Zhang Fei's current reputation is concerned, he is naturally not as great as Guan Yu and Zhao Yunda, but if you really want to talk about the ability to charge, it is not in vain.

In particular, Zhang Fei's reckless and reckless character made the army he led, although not as fierce as Guan Yu, nor as stable as Zhao Yun, but they could always burst out with the strongest combat effectiveness in the shortest time.

At this time, this kind of hand-to-hand combat in the city is more in line with Zhang Fei's combat style, which is why Lin Chao chose him as the vanguard.

Zhang Fei fought bloody battles in the city for half an hour, and finally forced the enemy back a hundred or two hundred steps from the gate of the city.Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Liao led an army of [-] troops and rushed into the city.

After Zhang Liao led his army into the city, he followed Lin Chao's order and did not entangle with the enemy in front of him, but went straight to the county government where Cao Cao was located.

Afterwards, the [-] main force led by Guan Yu began to march into the city in a large scale.

After all of Guan Yu's [-] troops entered the city, the fighting in the city entered a fierce stage.

In front of the county government office.

Hearing the sound of fighting in the distance, Xin Ping put away his folding fan, then stumbled and rushed inside.

"My lord, what a disaster!"

　Tomorrow, June [-]st, I wish everyone a happy holiday in advance.

　　I have written too many war scenes, and I am a little bored, so Kawen is stuck very uncomfortable, and everyone must be tired of watching it.

　　A few more chapters should wrap it up.
