Xiliang Iron Cavalry

They are from Bingzhou, they were conscripted by Li Ruqiang, and there are also a small number of Xiliang Army soldiers in the army. As long as they unite with them, it is possible to welcome the Xiliang Army outside the city into the city. Soldiers, this kind of thought can only grow quietly in their hearts. There are still many soldiers loyal to Li Ru in the army, who are always monitoring the army and reporting the situation to Li Ru at any time.

The first attack to achieve such an effect gave Jia Rong the feeling that victory was in sight. If the attack continued for half a month, the momentum of the defenders would be completely disintegrated, not to mention that the Xiliang Army did not have such sharp weapons as the ballista. .

Outside Pengcheng, Cao Jun's offensive was repeatedly frustrated. They did not have the thunderbolt carts and well rails like the Xiliang Army. The ladder alone made Cao Jun a little dizzy, not to mention how much iron materials would be consumed to complete such a huge object, but The thunder chariot also won a certain advantage for Cao Jun. After all, the thunder chariot was originally proposed by Cao Cao. Compared with the princes' thunder chariot, it is naturally outstanding.

The ladder was stronger, and the soldiers of Cao Jun who climbed the ladder felt more or less at ease. This psychological advantage also allowed them to speed up the pace of attack.

After attacking the city wall time and time again, Cao Cao suddenly felt that Guan Yu was not only a military general, but also a wise general. Looking at the entire Cao army, there are probably very few who can compare with him. He even faintly doubted that before Is Guan Yu's side just pretending?

In Pengcheng, there were already two great aristocratic families moving closer to Cao Jun in secret. Cao Cao's day and night siege just made Guan Yu overwhelmed. It was convenient for the aristocratic families in the city to move. Starting from the inside, there will always be people who cherish their lives and status.

Chen Gui, the patriarch of the Chen family, wanted to join him as early as when Cao Cao first attacked Pengcheng. He once wrote a letter to Cao Jun. At that time, Cao Cao also promised that he would not embarrass the Chen family after breaking the city, but Liu Bei's arrival changed everything, and he guarded Pengcheng. The secret plot of the Chen family and Cao Cao turned into empty talk, and Chen Gui was not in a hurry. On the one hand, he asked Chen Deng to become an official, and on the other hand, he contacted Cao Jun. He knew that Cao Jun would definitely attack Pengcheng. Concentrate on cultivating one's strengths to achieve great things. Of course, in Xuzhou, it is well-regulated, and people can't detect any problems.

Although Liu Bei governed Xuzhou in an orderly manner, that was not the case in Chen Deng's view. Without strong soldiers in his hands, it was not enough to protect the family's property. How powerful the Mi family was back then, they were forced to leave. He didn't want the Chen family to repeat the same mistakes If the owner of Xuzhou is the Xiliang Army, Chen Gui will definitely ask Chen Deng to do his best to help the family in order to bring greater profits to the family. It is true that Jia Rong suppressed the family, but it can provide a safe and fair environment. He will not do anything deliberately oppressive, has no ability, is gradually eliminated, and has no complaints. Although Jia Rong's previous reputation was not so good in the whole world, after the tempering of time, many aristocratic families have been in Chang'an after doing business. , found that it was not as in the legend.

The aristocratic family has already got rid of the rumors and rumors in the officialdom. Looking at the whole Dahan, which merchants have not traded with the Xiliang Army? Even without the rare supplies such as the Moonlight Cup and Immortal Love, Chang'an will still become the business center of the Dahan, and the scale has been achieved. No one can replace him in a short period of time. Chen Gui is a little envious of Mi Zhu's foresight. Looking at the princes of the world, the only one who can make this old man feel at ease is the Xiliang Army, followed by Cao Jun. As for Liu Bei, he is only a temporary support object. .

The Zhao family has already moved closer to the Chen family, expressing their willingness to dispatch thousands of private soldiers to help in the battle. The one thousand private soldiers of the Chen family and the one thousand of the Zhao family will surely achieve miraculous results when Guan Yu is caught off guard, and Cao Jun will be welcomed into the battle in one fell swoop. In the city, he became a hero of Cao Jun.

Jiang is old and hot. After Chen Gui saw Guan Yu's bravery, he had no short-sightedness to think that the mutiny would be successful. The strength of the patrolling soldiers in the city and the unusually strict guarding of the city gates. After many days of observation, Chen Gui Gui also discovered some changes in the generals guarding the city gate, and found patterns from them.

Li Han is a gatekeeper general in Pengcheng. He is one of the low-ranking officials in the army. If the war hadn't started, the army probably wouldn't have known that there was a man like him. He had a wife and children at home. Li Han also wanted to Pengcheng is guarded, but for a small person like him, food and clothing are enough, and the guards don't have to worry that Cao Jun outside the city will be able to kill him directly by piercing the wall, secretly congratulating himself for his luck, what good is it to be a general Yes, I still have to run on the city wall. If I am unlucky, I can take my life away with a single arrow. In these days, corpses have been carried down from the city wall. The generals who are usually proud and arrogant have turned into cold Corpses still have a great impact on the soul.

"General Li, it's late at night, where are you going?"

After a while, Li Han turned his head, mainly because General Li's voice made him uncomfortable, "What's the matter?"

"Someone wants to see General Li. I wonder if General Li can show him face?"

In the dark night, Li Han couldn't see the man's face clearly. He thought that he was just a small gatekeeper general, commanding only a hundred soldiers, so there was no harm in following him to have a look. Anyway, it was time to rest. .

As soon as his left foot stepped into the door, Li Han felt that he was so old-fashioned. The layout of the house can be described as magnificent, with unknown furs, expensive table cases, and a large table in the middle. A table of wine and banquets was set up, and the dishes on it were all Li Han said when he was bragging with the lieutenant generals. He swallowed hard, and Li Han looked at the room with mischievous eyebrows, wanting to step forward regardless of his appearance. He ate and drank wildly, and his cautious personality prevented him from eating and drinking casually.

After the man sent Li Han to the door of this room just now, he stood outside the door with his hands tied knowingly, without even looking into the room.

"General Li, please sit down quickly!" Chen Gui got up and said.

Li Han's nerves became a little sluggish, and he didn't know what to do for a while. The main reason was that he was too dirty. Entering such a house was undoubtedly a waste. When Chen Gui pulled him into the house, Li Han was in a daze response.

Looking at Li Han's reaction, Chen Gui felt very confident about the success of the plan.

"General Li, this is wine from Chang'an, taste it and see if it tastes good." Chen Gui said.

The corners of Li Han's mouth could not help but tremble slightly. This is wine, and a bottle can be sold for [-] yuan. At this time, what floated in Li Han's mind was not wine but piles of rice grains. How many white steamed buns can he eat? He resisted the urge to take the wine away, picked up the expensive moonlight cup, and sent it to his mouth. When he saw it was Chen Gui, the last trace of guard in his heart turned into Yunyan, the Chen family is a big family in Xuzhou, so it doesn't matter if they eat him, at worst, they sell their more than [-] catties of meat to him.

"General Li?" Chen Gui asked.

"Ah!" Excited, Li Han almost threw away the moonlight cup in his hand.

"What's the matter?" Li Han asked.

"I have heard that General Li is a rare general in the city. I have made great contributions in guarding the city gate. I am very pleased. Today, I have a special banquet for the general." Chen Gui said sincerely.

Li Han had already been shocked by the luxurious scene in front of him, he nodded hesitantly, and began to fight with the delicious food on the table. After standing on guard all day, he was already tired and hungry.

After a long time, Chen Gui saw that Li Han had consumed the food on the table, and secretly clicked his tongue, "General Li? Is the food satisfactory?"

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, I hope you will forgive me for my gaffe just now!" Li Han thought of the way he ate just now, and felt very indecent, and a person who can invite people to eat such a meal at will is definitely not an ordinary person, no I can afford to offend him, secretly hating myself for being too gluttonous just now.

"What time of day does General Li guard the city gate?" Chen Gui got to the point.

"Ugly time!" Li Han replied truthfully.

"Choushi?" Chen Gui murmured secretly, "At that time, all the soldiers were sleeping. If you take the opportunity to open the city gate, a major event will be settled."

"Does General Li know General Cao?" Chen Gui asked.

"General Cao? I have a humble job in Xuzhou. I have heard of General Cao's reputation for a long time. He led the army to fight against Cao Cao in the past, and he was extremely brave." Li Han's face was full of flattery.

"No!" Chen Gui's face straightened, "The General Cao I'm talking about is Cao Cao outside the city, the Hussar General of the Han Dynasty."

"Cao Cao? Isn't he going to attack our Pengcheng? Why mention him?" Li Han questioned.

Chen Gui was very depressed, and it was very difficult to talk to these generals who were nervous, so he simply said directly, "General Li, this old man just wants to help Cao Cao capture Pengcheng, and the general is guarding the city gate, so I need your cooperation. The city gate is open to welcome Cao Jun to enter the city, I wonder if you have the guts?"

Cold sweat broke out on Li Han's forehead when he heard this. He didn't even dare to think about such a rebellious thing. As soon as the matter is revealed, it will be sent to Guan Yu immediately. Although the position of the gatekeeper is not high, there are not a few coveters, and there is no telling how many people are watching him secretly.

"My lord, this is not good. The boy has no military power, and his heart is powerless!" Li Han said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Chen Gui sneered and said: "Why is General Li so timid, he doesn't know that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, how can there be rewards if you don't pay, just like today's meal, you can't earn so much in your life as a gatekeeper, and as long as you Cooperate with General Cao and open the city gate, and you can become a general in the army in one fell swoop, well-clothed and well-fed, without worrying about food and drink, and you know the old man's secret, how can you leave so easily, General Li can think about it for himself."

Li Han was stupid, so he thought for a while before smoothing things out. Chen Gui's words were not without temptation. A goalkeeper like him would spend his entire life without making any progress. Although the strategy is vicious, it is the fastest way to rise to the top.
