I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 206 Sticking to Luoyang
At this time, Li Ru suddenly stepped forward and said, "My lord, wait a minute!"

Everyone looked at Li Ru in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.Li Shimin asked curiously: "Does Mr. Wen have any doubts?"

"My lord, I just find it strange that under the siege of tens of thousands of enemy troops, General Song Xian, who has only [-] soldiers, has resisted for so long, and can still break through? It's a bit unbelievable. Besides, my lord, even if Song Xian guards the gap, The guards at the city gate are already useless, and they can be taken down in a short time. Why didn't the enemy take the opportunity to send troops to chase you? I'm afraid there is a fraud in it." Li Ru analyzed calmly.

"Bastard, you dare to doubt General Song Xian. I think you are tired of your life." The enraged Lu Bu said that he was about to go up and beat Li Ru.

"Fengxian, don't be presumptuous, back down quickly!" Li Shimin shouted angrily.

Only then did Lu Bu retreat sullenly, but stared at Li Ru with a fierce look on his face.

Jia Xu, who had always been taciturn, stood up and added: "My lord, what Li Ru said is reasonable. I thought about it just now. There are indeed many doubts, so I have to be cautious. Besides, the safety of Luoyang City is very important right now. However, if Song Xian defected and surrendered, it would be disastrous for our army."

"Hiss..." Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

At this time, Li Shimin also had to treat it with caution. As Jia Xu said, he had to be on guard. Looking back on the memories of his previous life, when Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao, Song Xian and Wei Xu took the initiative to tie Lu Bu up. Surrendering to Cao Cao, it can be seen that this person is not a strong-willed person. At the moment of death, it is inevitable that he will not sell his master for glory for himself.

Seeing that Li Shimin hesitated, Jia Xu added: "My lord, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, our army can secretly transfer most of the bed crossbows and archers to the east gate, and deploy them above and below the city. In case Song Xian really surrenders to the enemy Now, we can also play tricks, shoot ten thousand arrows at once, and under the pincer attack from two directions, we will be able to severely hit the enemy's arrogance."

Li Shimin thought for a while, and felt that Jia Xu's suggestion was very feasible, Song Xian was a potential disaster, and if he could see his true face clearly as soon as possible, the disaster would not be left behind.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and asked uncertainly: "Mr. Wen He, what if Song Xian broke into our army and hid for a long time?

If Song Xian sees that there is nothing to take advantage of, he will sneak into Luoyang and lie dormant.I don't have any evidence that he directly colluded with the enemy, so I will be passive at that time.

This is also what Li Shimin is very worried about.

"My lord, I think Cao Jun will definitely act immediately in order to avoid long nights and dreams. They will definitely be worried that if the news leaks out, even if Song Xian really goes to the city to hibernate, we can still pray for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole, and then we can use our tactics." Jia Xu said calmly.

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin decided to take a risk.Weigh the lesser of two evils. Only in this way can the risk be minimized, and at the same time, we are prepared for both.

Of course, Li Shimin was still very confident in Luoyang's defense. Even if Song Xian wanted to quit, he would definitely die without a place to bury him.

The city defense of Luoyang can be said to be unparalleled in the world. After the Eastern Han Dynasty established Luoyang as its capital, it took advantage of the surrounding good water environment to transform rivers and dig canals to surround the city, and used them as moats to consolidate the city defense, and set up 12 cities. door to communicate with the outside world.

If the enemy attacked rashly, they could only attack from the bridge over the moat. As long as they were tight, there shouldn't be any problems.

When everything was ready, more than a thousand rout troops led by Song Xian appeared less than one mile away from the east gate.About less than a mile behind him is the [-] army led by Cao Hong, and ten miles behind Cao Hong is the [-] army led by Cao Cao.

The reason why Cao Hong kept a distance of one mile from Song Xian was naturally carefully calculated.

It was too close to Song Xian, and he was worried that Li Shimin would not dare to open the city gate.It was too far away and I was afraid that I would not be able to arrive in time, and the distance of this mile was neither long nor short. As long as Song Xian stood firm at the city gate for a while, the cavalry he led would be able to arrive in one charge.

Song Xian shouted while running: "Don't shoot the arrow, I am Zhonglang General Song Xian, quickly open the city gate and let me in."

The captain of Chengmen quickly shouted: "General Song, wait a moment, I'll go to ask the superior for instructions." Naturally, the captain of Chengmen couldn't rush to open the city, otherwise he would act like a soldier, and asking for instructions was a necessary procedure.

When Song Xian rushed to the city of Luoyang in a hurry, Cao Hong, who was one mile away, also stopped and stopped chasing. He just watched from a distance, as if he was extremely unwilling.

Just as Song Xian was shouting anxiously at the bottom of the city, the captain of the city gate rushed over and shouted to the bottom of the city: "My lord has an order, open the city gate and let General Song enter the city."

Immediately, the sound of rumbling chains stirring suddenly sounded, the moat suspension bridge was slowly lowered under the joint efforts of more than a dozen people, and the city gate was slowly opened under the joint efforts of many soldiers.

Seeing that the city gate was really opened, Song Xian smiled strangely, and immediately led the soldiers to rush in. However, at this time, Song Xian held the big knife in his hand even tighter.

Just as Song Xian entered the city gate, a sudden change occurred. Song Xian shouted: "Brothers, act, kill! Take the city gate, Luoyang is ours."

Dang even led some of his men to kill the guards at the city gate, while another group of more than a dozen soldiers jumped off their horses and held on to the suspension bridge tightly to prevent it from rising.

Cao Hong, who had just stopped to watch at this time, immediately led an army of [-] to kill towards the city gate after seeing Song Xian's action.

…………

The reason why Song Xian didn't choose to hide for a long time was naturally because he was worried that he would be exposed too early, thus wasting this god-given opportunity.

Huang Fusong told Cao Cao a top-secret news, saying that Li Shimin had a mysterious organization called "Baiqisi" with a large number of spies, which could be said to be pervasive.

That's why he chose to act in advance. Anyway, Cao Cao didn't care about Song Xian's life or death.

…………

The defenders of the city gate were unprepared, and were caught off guard. They died in disbelief at the hands of brothers and sisters, and they died with regret.

The suspension bridge was also tightly held by more than a dozen rebels, unable to move. No matter how the defenders on the city stirred the iron chain, there was no movement.

Seeing that he had captured a city gate so smoothly, Song Xian was overjoyed, thinking that the treacherous scheme had succeeded, and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, fight hard, stick to the city gate, General Cao Hong will kill him immediately, and when the time comes, you will be promoted and rich. Everyone is indispensable."

Just when Song Xian was complacent, a sudden change occurred.
