Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 110 A commoner woman is willing to serve His Majesty
  When everyone heard this, they were all deeply surprised.

Although women in this era did not have the three obediences and four virtues like those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and were strictly ideologically restrained, they rarely appeared in public, let alone ran in front of the emperor on a cold day to offer any tactics to defeat thieves. It was simply unheard of. .

Regardless of whether there is fraud or not, one can see how bold and aggressive this woman is.

"Let's talk in the camp." After Liu Ming finished speaking, he went straight into the camp, and the woman quickly followed behind.

Entering the Chinese army's treasure tent, Liu Ming sat in the middle. Zhu Jun, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others sat on both sides in turn. Lu Bu still stood behind Liu Ming.

At this time, Shi A walked in and whispered: "I have been searched. I didn't bring any sharp weapons. I only had a map, which I said was dedicated to His Majesty."

"Bring Shan in." Liu Ming said.

"Taishan clan!" Shi A shouted.

The curtain was raised, and the woman walked into the big tent. Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the tent, everyone was sitting in high positions, all eyes were staring at her, she couldn't help but become nervous, and felt her heart beating rapidly.

He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Mr. Shan, a civilian woman, has met Your Majesty."

"Is there any good strategy to defeat Ping Gao?" Liu Ming went straight to the point and asked in a deep voice.

"My husband, Zhang Wang, is timid and fearful of trouble. In recent years, the Yellow Turban bandits, Black Mountain bandits, and Baibo bandits have rebelled one after another. In order to be just in case, my husband dug two secret passages in the county town leading to the outside of the city in preparation. Escape urgently in times of emergency.”

Shan said, "I present the tunnel excavation plan to Your Majesty. I hope I can do my best to put down the rebels, save the people of Pinggao from fire and water, and save my husband from trouble."

Shi A stepped forward to take the map and handed it to Liu Ming.

This is a simple diagram painted on sheepskin. Sure enough, it shows two tunnels leading from the inside of Pinggao City to the outside. One is inside the county government office, and the other is inside a private house.

"Since Zhang Wang was so well prepared, why didn't he escape when the Baibo bandits attacked Pinggao?" Zhu Jun asked, "Where is he now?"

"My husband was giving porridge to the refugees at the time. Unexpectedly, the refugees were all disguised as thieves. Suddenly they got angry and detained him on the spot." Shan said with a sad expression, "Now my husband is imprisoned in the county jail. His life and death are unknown." unknown."

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry. Although this Zhang Wang was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he was not a bad person. He knew how to give porridge to the refugees, but his brain was really slower than others. There was a riot in Hedong in the west and a black bandit in Jizhou in the east. You If you give out porridge in the middle, there will inevitably be a large influx of refugees. Can you avoid being targeted by thieves?
  "Please sit down." Liu Ming said and handed the map to Zhu Jun next to him.

"Where is that private house?" Zhu Jun asked.

"That's a private house bought by my husband. It's not a big place and it's very inconspicuous. The woman from the village is currently living there temporarily." Shan replied, "This time the woman from the village put on makeup and left the city through the secret passage in the private house. "

"How many traitors are there in the city?" Cao Cao asked.

"I don't know about civilian women, but there are a lot of them anyway." Shan said with a twist. She comes from a womanly family, but her husband has been arrested again. He must be hiding at home and afraid to show his face. How can he dare to see how many thieves there are? It makes sense.

"You can give it a try!" Zhu Jun said and passed the map to Cao Cao next to him.

"If it succeeds, the Shan family will have made a great contribution." Liu Mingdao, "It's getting late, so you don't have to go back. Just rest in the camp."

It is indeed a good idea to enter the city through a secret passage and launch a sudden attack on the city defenders. However, Shan cannot be put back for the time being. Letting her go back through the secret passage at the critical moment would not make any sense, and it would easily increase the risk of exposure. .

Besides, whether the secret passage is true or not, we still need to send people to investigate before we can confirm it. If the Shan family is in a group with the rebels, it is inevitable to go back and report the news in advance.

"The civilian woman is willing to stay and serve your majesty." Shan said shyly, "I only hope that after your majesty breaks the city, you can rescue my husband and forgive him for the crime of losing the city."

It's just that there are patches of black and gray dirt on his face, so it's hard to see his detailed appearance, but his coquettish appearance can't help but make people's hearts tremble.

"This...actually that's not what I meant." Liu Ming said hurriedly.

Zhu Jun: "Wei Chen understands."

Cao Cao: "The last general will understand."

Liu Biao: "I understand." 　　　……

Everyone looked at each other and smiled. Do they still know what kind of virtue this emperor has?

The eunuch who did not bring his concubines during this personal expedition was already as fresh as the sun rising from the west. With his usual lustful and lustful temper, how could he not taste the game that was delivered to his door?

"Gentlemen, please change the camp before discussing matters, so as not to disturb His Majesty's interest." Cao Cao suggested. As he spoke, he stood up.

The generals were convinced and stood up one after another. In their opinion, when discussing such a major military operation, the emperor did not need to participate in the detailed discussion. Anyway, he could not understand the discussion. Participating in it would only cause trouble. It was better to discuss it with several generals. Yes, just report directly to the emperor.

"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Ming hurriedly stopped him, "In this way... take the Shan family to other tents to rest in peace first, and I will continue to discuss things with you dear friends."

To be honest, he can't feel the slightest desire for Mrs. Shan now. He has seen all kinds of concubines in the palace, how can he be interested in a woman with tattered clothes and a face covered with mud and dust?

Besides, Shan's secret secret has not been confirmed yet. What if there is a fraud in it? Although I have some hobbies in this area, it is not just a random woman who will be lucky.

This bunch of civil and military officials are all fooling around. Do they really think that I am hungry and have no choice but to eat?
  The personal guards led Shan out of the big tent and settled in the small tent next to it.

When everyone saw that the emperor was putting state affairs first for the first time, they were too embarrassed to leave, so they had to sit down to discuss things again.

"I sent a letter to Yang Feng and Xu Huang each today." Seeing everyone returning to their seats, Liu Ming said, "It is both persuading to surrender and alienating each other. If what I expected is true, there will be a rift between Yang Feng and Xu Huang tonight." , our army takes the opportunity to enter the city from the tunnel and attack, and we will definitely win."

Everyone was surprised. In their usual consciousness, this emperor was a drunkard and a womanizer. They had never heard of him knowing anything about military affairs. Although he proclaimed himself supreme general when the Xiyuan Army was established, it was only a false name. That’s all.

But now, he actually knows how to use divorce tactics!
  This... is really subversive.

Even these generals with rich combat experience did not think of estrangement at the first time, let alone this faint king who has been in the palace for a long time and has not yet pursued political affairs!

At this moment, the emperor's image in their hearts of being dissolute and immoral, not diligent in political affairs, and not loyal and virtuous collapsed, but a new image had not yet been established, and this incident alone could not explain anything.

The key is how the alienation plan is operated and whether it is effective. If it is just wishful thinking, it is nothing more than a military joke.

"I wonder how your Majesty separated?" Zhu Jun asked.

"The secret must not be leaked." Liu Ming said mysteriously, "The top priority is to send someone to confirm the truth."

At that moment, Zhu Jun sent two teams of scouts to investigate according to the map location provided by Shan.

Everyone discussed the details of the use of troops for a while. If the scouts' investigation of the tunnel was true, then they would take action early this morning and capture Pinggao in one fell swoop as an important stronghold for their troops in Hanoi.

About an hour later, the scouts reported that they had indeed discovered two tunnels outside the county town. They went deep into them. The one leading to the county government office did not dare to alert the snake. However, on the other end leading to the private house, the scouts entered the courtyard and found that there was no tunnel at the other end. No ambush, everything is normal.

Everyone felt relieved and immediately arranged their troops.

Zhang Liao led 500 people through the tunnel toward the houses, Lu Bu led 500 people through the tunnel toward the county government office, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao led a large force to ambush outside the west gate of the county, and Liu Biao was responsible for staying behind to guard the camp.

Liu Ming repeatedly warned that Xu Huang must be captured alive. He wanted to recruit this general.

From a God's perspective, he had some preconceptions about Xu Huang and wanted to recruit him for my use.

Everyone else also felt that Xu Huang was a rare brave general who also knew the art of war and was a waste to hide in the grass. Only Lu Bu curled his lips in disdain - how could he dare to speak bravely when his general was defeated?
  Such a late-night attack on the city did not require the emperor Liu Ming to personally charge into the battle. The plan had been decided and everyone went their separate ways.

Liu Ming returned to the sleeping tent at the back, and Shi A came in to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shan has finished bathing. Do you want to bring him to the sleeping tent?"

——PS: Chapter 2024 of the New Year. I wish everyone a happy New Year, a new atmosphere, and all the best. I heard that today’s monthly votes will be counted double. If you have extra monthly votes, please vote quickly. After today, there will be no double. What a waste!
