Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 72

With Liu Yuzhi's shrewdness, how could he not let the scouts monitor Pinghe's Yellow Turban?However, there is a Yan Xiang beside Gong Du. Although this person is not a top-notch counselor, nor is he famous, but he has extraordinary intelligence and is at least a second-rate counselor. He can easily deal with Liu Yu.

As early as when Liu Pi was killed, Yan Xiang learned the news from the fleeing Yellow Turban, and also realized that Shangcai would definitely be captured by Liu Yu.Gong Du, who also knew the news at the time, immediately wanted to send troops to Cai, but was persuaded by him.At that time, it was not impossible to attack Shangcai by sending troops, but at that time, the capture of Shangcai would definitely cause a lot of casualties, and the peace that was just won would definitely be lost again.Therefore, he advised Gong Du to stabilize Pinghe first, and then attack Shangcai.

Going back and forth, it took half a month before he knew it, Gong was in a hurry, but Yan Xiang was not in a hurry.Until the early morning of No. 16, Yan Xiang suddenly told Gong Du that he could send troops, but he had to travel by night and day and must not be discovered by the opponent.It has to be said that he suggested to wait for half a month before sending out troops, which not only completely stabilized the peace and freed up most of the soldiers; it also made Liu Yu and his soldiers relax their vigilance, so as to achieve the goal of taking down Shangcai in one fell swoop. Purpose.

But if Yan Xiang's plan is just like this, he may not be able to win Shangcai in one fell swoop.Because although Shangcai was attacked suddenly, the city is high and the walls are thick after all, even if there are [-] yellow scarves, it will take several hours to fight.But at that time Liu Yu had already reacted, whether to defend or escape, what can the Yellow Turban do to him?

Therefore, in order to take down Shangcai in one fell swoop, Yan Xiang had long ago sent to understand the situation in Shangcai city.And when he knew that Liu Yu slaughtered Shangcai Yuan's family, Yan Xiang was very angry and vowed to kill Liu Yu because he was a disciple of the Yuan family.After being resentful, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to open the gate of Shangcai City.This method is nothing else than letting Mrs. Yuan act as an internal response.

Madam Yuan is the eldest wife of Yuan Bin in the Yuan Mansion, that is, the young woman who looked at Liu Yu viciously when Liu Yu bloodbathed the Yuan Mansion.With her hatred for Liu Yu, as long as there is a chance, how could she not take revenge on Liu Yu?Therefore, when Yan Xiang's soldiers came to explain their intentions, she agreed without hesitation, and even offered to help Yan Xiang, persuading the Li family to join him.The Li family was a former official of the Yuan family, and they couldn't stand Liu Yu's exploitation, so they immediately decided to be internal responders.

In this way, Yan Xiang is ready for everything, just waiting to send troops!
However, after several days of traveling night and day, the Yellow Turban army finally arrived outside Shangcai City in a dark night.At this time, Yan Xiang was questioning a man dressed as a servant in the Yellow Turban formation.

"Let me ask you, Madam, are you ready?" Yan Xiang was no better than Gong Du, after all, he was a scholar, and he was exhausted after days of marching, but when he saw this servant, he was still refreshed, and asked hastily.

The servant in black lowered his head, and replied respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, madam has contacted the Li family in the city long ago, and has done what you said, so the Li family really agreed to open the north gate at midnight tonight."

"Okay, go back and tell Madam, just say that the elephant will kill Liu Yu tonight to avenge the fourth master." Yan Xiang said with joy, and couldn't help but say happily.

Regarding Yan Xiang's strategy, Liu Yu had no idea at all.No, it should be said that Liu Yu is still in the dark about the arrival of the Yellow Turban.Therefore, he was not prepared at all, and fell asleep normally at night.

The night time is like water, slowly flowing away.Soon in the middle of the night, dark clouds hid the moon, and the cold wind couldn't get rid of layers of dark clouds.The tall and old city gate was closed tightly, and there was a small group of soldiers inside, sleeping soundly.Suddenly, one of the soldiers named Chen Ergou was blown by the cold wind and shivered. Then, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he staggered to the grass beside the road.He unbuttoned his trousers and landed on the ground in an arc from his crotch.

While the soldier was urinating, suddenly figures flickered in the dark night in the distance, and nearly a hundred people came out after a while.All of them were wearing armor, holding ring-headed knives, and a white cloth on their arms.Without saying a word, they quickly walked towards the city gate, and killed the sleeping soldiers as soon as they reached the city gate.After hacking to death, one of the leaders of the talented people suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Quickly, open the city gate and light the torch."

As soon as this person's voice fell, nearly a hundred people began to get busy.Some of them opened the city gates, some lowered the drawbridge, and some held up the torches.

In fact, when these people were killing people, Chen Ergou shuddered and lost all sleep, because there was blood sprayed all over his body.His eyes were wide open, full of terror.He covered his mouth with his hands, for fear that he would make a sound.And when those people started to open the city gate, he took the opportunity to sink into the small river beside the road bit by bit.Then, he held his breath and swam frantically into the distance without making a sound.He didn't know how long he swam until he couldn't hold his breath anymore. He jumped out of the river, panting heavily.Probably the icy cold river water made his mind clear.He looked back in panic, then found his way, and ran towards the magistrate's mansion.

Fortunately, the county magistrate's mansion was not far away, and Chen Ergou arrived soon after running wildly all the way.He saw the soldiers guarding the gate saw him coming, and was about to scold him, but he couldn't control it anymore, and immediately roared: "Quick, tell the general quickly, I have an important report."

The gatekeeper was shocked by him and immediately woke up Liu Yu overnight.Liu Yuzheng was sleeping soundly, so he was naturally unhappy to be woken up suddenly, but after listening to Chen Ergou's words, he shivered, and all sleepiness disappeared immediately.

He didn't have time to think about it, before he even put on his clothes, he ordered: "Quick, you two immediately notify Xia Sima and Gao Sima; and you, call Zhou Sima here immediately."

Liu Yu hurriedly summoned the soldiers here, and Yan Xiang also looked at the slowly opening city gate with fiery eyes outside the city.At this time, Mrs. Yuan and the Patriarch of the Li family were also anxiously looking at the north gate at home, both expecting and nervous.

With a bang, the north gate was finally opened.Yan Xiang's face showed ecstasy, and he was about to order Gong Du to kill him, but he didn't expect that Gong Du had already slapped his horse and killed him.There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but he still held back and said nothing.

Although Gong Du led 2 yellow scarves, he now has only more than [-] soldiers under his command. As for the other soldiers are still behind, after all, there are not many soldiers who can keep up with the rapid march.Although there were only [-] soldiers, Gong Du led the [-] soldiers into Shangcai City like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and rushed towards the county magistrate's mansion.

But before he reached the county magistrate's mansion, a group of people suddenly rushed out from one side.This army was led by Gao Meng. He received Liu Yu's notice and immediately led two thousand soldiers to attack Gongdu.

Let's talk about Liu Yu's side, he put on his armor, and his thousand guards are also ready to go.Soon, he also waited for Xia Houlan, but he couldn't wait for Gao Meng.Suddenly, Xia Houlan said: "Captain, Gao Sima must have killed the Yellow Turban."

Liu Yu's body was shocked when he heard this, and then his face changed drastically, and he immediately roared: "Go, kill me! We meet on a narrow road and the brave wins. Tonight, either the yellow scarf dies or I wait to die. Do you dare to fight? Die, the worst is a piece of paper!" Fate; win, enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, and be a high-ranking official for a lifetime. Wait, dare you?"

"Fight, fight, fight!"

All the soldiers had hideous faces, and their roars broke the tranquility of the night.Afterwards, they followed behind Liu Yu and rushed to the Yellow Turban!
Liu Yu has already led the army to set off, but he won't arrive for a while, but at this time Gao Meng is already in crisis.Most of the [-] soldiers he led had been killed or wounded, and many of his personal guards died because of him.His eyes were bloodshot, he roared like a beast, and he swung the sword in his hand crazily.

A soldier was hacked to death with a knife, and before he could pull it out in time, the body that dragged the soldier was thrown at another soldier, and the other soldier was directly smashed to death.Then, he grabbed the spears of a dozen people with one hand, swung the spears directly, and sent those dozens of people flying.He has fought madly, because his soldiers are dying every moment, and he blames himself in his heart.

But it was useless, no matter how brave he was, he was still alone.He couldn't save others, and even himself was in crisis.Hundreds of yellow scarf soldiers surrounded him, stabbing him with long spears.He blocked or gave way, but eventually he started to get hurt, and the wounds kept increasing.And he was tired, and a little exhausted.He was panting heavily, and the hand that swung the sword became dull.Suddenly, Gong Du shot him in surprise, and when he saw it, it was too late to stop or give way.
