Chapter 625 Su Yao's Little Trick
"Mr. Guo, do you want us to die?"

"Even your Lord Yuan is afraid of Su Yao, but he wants us to stay alone for a night. How can we do this?"

Zhongzhe rolled his eyes.

The Zhong family’s attitude towards this dispute is clear.

They will only stand behind the scenes and never come to the front.

Now, Yuan Shao is not coming to join the battle, but wants him to lead his men to fight against Su Yao's elite troops who have experienced many battles alone?
Just the servants from the major families under my command?

I might as well surrender. At least I can still keep my life.

"Don't worry, don't panic."

Guo Tu hurriedly tried to comfort everyone. He knew that these children from aristocratic families were timid and fearful of trouble, but also greedy for profit, so they had to be dealt with carefully.

His words were very simple, just what he had said to Yuan Shao before.

For example, Su Yao has no siege equipment and needs to rely on insiders.

The most important thing is to maintain the beliefs of everyone in the city.

"All you have to do is eliminate the traitors and keep an eye on the city gates."

"And when tomorrow morning comes, our Kanto coalition forces will immediately enter the city."

"By then, the overall situation will have been decided. Even if Su Yao is unwilling, he can only sigh and look at the city, helpless."

Guo Tu smiled and spoke in a gentle but persuasive voice:
"And you gentlemen, not only can you preserve Luoyang City and your wealth, but Lord Yuan can also help you make great contributions in the great cause of defeating Dong Zhuo. Why not do it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhe frowned slightly. Although he had doubts in his heart, looking at Guo Tu's confident look, he couldn't help but feel shaken.

"It's better to be safe than sorry."

Wei Hao couldn't help but ask the first question everyone was wondering:
"If Su Yao gets angry and attacks the city tonight, what should we do?"

"Master Wei, you are worrying too much. Su Yao can't get in at all!"

Guo Tu shook his head slightly and said confidently:

"Luoyang's walls are high and strong. As long as you keep calm and ensure the safety of the city gates, he will be unable to stop you even if he wants to storm."

"It's just one night, it's too late for him to prepare anything."

"Without siege equipment, can Su Yao's army still fly in?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Hao's brows relaxed a little, but he was still a little uneasy. He looked at Zhong Zhe, hoping that the Zhong family could give a clearer guarantee.

At this moment, Zhongzhe looked extremely nervous, and no longer had the demeanor of his previous appearance with a feather fan and a royal scarf.

As the youngest son in the family, he had never made such a big decision.

But he knew very well that if he did not agree to Guo Tu's plan, given Su Yao's arrogance, they would be in trouble once they entered the city.

Although Yuan Shao is cunning and incompetent, he seems to be their only support at this moment.

"Okay, if it's just for one night, let's just agree to Mr. Guo's request."

Zhongzhe finally nodded and said:

"I hope Mr. Yuan can keep his promise and rush into the city tomorrow morning, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, Master Zhong. Master Yuan is a man of his word and he will never break his promise!"

The night was dark.

In front of Su Yao's camp in the south of the city, soldiers and generals wearing helmets and armor lined up outside the camp.

They said nothing, their faces were grim, and they exuded a murderous aura as they waited silently.

It turned out that more than an hour ago, they had received news that the children of the noble families in the city had decided to accept their ultimatum and open the city to surrender under pressure.

So Su Yao gathered the army and waited here to enter the city, but they ended up waiting for more than an hour.

However, he never expected that what he was waiting for was not a welcome from the city, but a shocking report:
"Not good!"

"We were fooled!"

"The people in the city have changed their minds!"

"what?!"

Lu Bu, who was beside Su Yao, exclaimed and his eyes instantly became sharp.

To be honest, they had been waiting here for a long time and actually had some bad thoughts in their minds.

However, Lu Bu never expected that these children from noble families would be so untrustworthy and go back on their words!

However, compared to Lu Bu's excitement, Su Yao did not react much, but just asked calmly:

"Is the news accurate?"

"What is the current situation in the city?"

"My Lord, the news should be correct. This is the message that Mr. Wang Jingxing in the city risked his life to send. Please take a look."

Wang Jingxing is also Wang Lang.

As a knowledgeable scholar who had once served as an official, after he had seen Su Yao's military might and learned that his conflicts with the rebellious nobles in the city were irreconcilable, he took the initiative to find those scholars in the city who were related to Lu Zhi, and they shared the same aspirations and wanted to do something.

The ultimatum that Su Yao sent to them in the evening asking them to surrender was something they had strongly advocated and pushed for in order to open the city and surrender.

However, they did not expect that in such a short period of time, another secret envoy from Yuan Shao came and persuaded the forces in the city to split. Although Wang Lang did not know who Yuan Shao's secret envoy was and what he promised, he was very keen to grasp the fact that the situation in the city had suddenly changed to their disadvantage.

So, before being asked to leave, he hastily wrote this secret letter and sent someone to shoot it from the city wall.

After Su Yao took Wang Lang's letter and glanced at it quickly, he sneered and handed it to Jia Xu who was watching nervously at the side.

After Jia Xu read it, he immediately said to everyone:
"Wang Jingxing mentioned in the letter that the nobles in the city seemed to have changed their minds due to the instigation of Yuan Shao's secret envoy and decided to go back on their previous agreement."

"They sent their trusted men to control the city gates, and they also secretly detained the scholars who were loyal to us."

"Opening the door is impossible."

"Good for Yuan Shao!"

Lu Bu glared and shouted:

"One thing in front of you, another behind your back, and you're doing this kind of trick again."

"Since we can't get into the city now, why don't we just attack Yuan Shao's camp and take his head? Then we'll see if those short-sighted guys in Luoyang will open the city!"

——"No!"

Jia Xu quickly dissuaded him:

"Your Excellency is different from me. You represent the righteousness of the court."

"The conflict between me and Yuan Shao's vanguard can be attributed to my subordinates' ignorance and recklessness."

"But if you personally attack and kill Yuan Shao, that would be exactly what Dong the villain wants. He would probably die laughing on the way."

"Didn't the thief Dong move the capital and run away just to make us, the anti-Dong righteous army, fight each other?"

"Without sufficient hard evidence, killing Yuan Shao would only lead to your lord being unjust, causing the allied forces to disband and the world to fall into complete chaos."

"And we ourselves will be trapped in Luoyang, a place of four battles, and it will be difficult to escape."

Luoyang is the center of the world and a hub for all directions.

When the world is at peace, this place can command the whole world, its policies are implemented, and its commerce is prosperous. There is no other place in the world that can surpass it!
This advantage is also a fatal disadvantage.

When war comes, if Luoyang loses control of its surroundings, it will be difficult to defend its corner even if it has four barriers and eight passes.

This is the capital of a sage, not the foundation of a troubled time.

Therefore, turning against the world for the sake of Luoyang City is the most foolish choice.

"Then we're just going to watch him succeed in his evil plan?!"

Lu Bu glared and snorted, extremely annoyed.

Without an insider to open the gate, it would be impossible to capture Luoyang City in one night:

"Or do you, Jia Wenhe, want Lord Su to take back his previous bold words and just treat them as farts?"

Jia Xu remained silent, while Su Yao chuckled:
"Fengxian, you're getting anxious again."

Su Yao pressed down the painted halberd in Lu Bu's hand, speaking in a calm and firm tone:

"I, Su Yao, never go back on my words!"

"Yuan Benchu ​​thought he could stop me with some tricks, but he actually helped me a lot."

"help???"

This time, not only Lu Bu and other warriors were confused, even Jia Xu looked bewildered, wondering what this Champion Marquis was thinking.

"That's right."

Su Yao looked eager to try:

"You know, I was worried before that the bunch of dandies in the city would kneel too quickly and I wouldn't have a chance to settle accounts with them."

"Now that Yuan Benchu ​​has taken action, they have strengthened their confidence in resistance."

"Let me ask you, what is the crime for rebelling against the party?"

hiss--

Everyone gasped.

They didn't expect that Lord Su was actually planning how to catch all those noble families who colluded with Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao? !

"But even if we have a reason to kill the thieves, if we can't enter the city, won't everything be in vain?"

The city wall of Luoyang is too high.

Even though Su Junhou had extraordinary skills, this distance was far beyond the limit of what he could jump before.

If you can't get into the city, it's useless to think too much.

"Isn't that too easy?"

"You don't think I'm putting all my hopes on them being the insiders who can open the door, do you?"

"what?"

Seeing everyone confused, Su Yao smiled:
"The little props I asked you to prepare before we set off should come in handy now."

"Everyone, please follow me."
