Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 60 Surprise Attack on Ao Cang (A few recommendation tickets please)

Before dawn the next day, when the hungry people sleeping at the foot of Mount Ao were still asleep, the closed city gate of Ao Cang was slowly opened with a dull rattling sound, and immediately a group of soldiers with long spears had arrived. When the hungry people woke up, they saw that these soldiers had already lined up, and soon another soldier came out of the city gate carrying a large iron cauldron.

The hungry people who were so hungry that their eyes glowed green surrounded them one after another, and the clever ones shouted in surprise: "The food is released, the government is going to release the food!"

"Is the food released? The government really wants to release the food?"

"Heaven, heaven, heaven has finally opened his eyes."

"It's all right now, everyone is saved, saved, hahaha."

The hungry people swarming from all directions immediately cheered, and many even fell to their knees, kowtowing to the soldiers who were setting up porridge sheds.

Xiang Zhuang and Gongsun Sui were ragged and unkempt, and they had already mixed in with the hungry people.

The five hundred Xiandeng dead men had already disguised themselves as hungry people and sneaked into the crowded crowd. As long as Xiang Zhuang gave an order, they would draw their swords and rush into Ao Cang without fear of death.

"General, let's do it!" Gongsun said, his hand already reached for the rag bag where the knife was hidden.

But Xiang Zhuang held down Gongsun Sui's right hand, shook his head and said, "No hurry, wait and see."

It’s true that you can’t act rashly now. In order to prevent the hungry people outside the city from making troubles, the Aocang defenders have obviously stepped up their guard. Not only are there hundreds of armored soldiers guarding the porridge shed, but the road leading to the city gate is also heavily guarded. It is full of densely packed archers. If you go to the camp first and start rashly, the gate of Aocang City will be closed soon. At that time, arrows will rain down on the city. Even if you go to the camp first, you will win, but you will definitely suffer heavy casualties!
It seems that this Ao Cangling is still a powerful character, it is really not easy to sneak attack Ao Cang!
Just as Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, a soft voice suddenly came from behind him: "Dong Bo, I really didn't expect that this Chen Xi really has the legacy of Lord Xinling, and he actually dared to open a warehouse to release grain."

"Well, this Chen Xi is not bad, he has the character of a Wei person."

"Chen Xi?" Xiang Zhuang moved slightly when he heard the words. Before crossing over, he had listened to CCTV's "Hundred Schools Forum". He admired Mr. Xinling, and raised a large number of followers, and later rebelled. It seems that Han Xin wrote him a secret letter to join the rebellion.

At the moment when Xiang Zhuang turned his head back, the person behind him was a charming young lady, even though she was dressed in plain clothes and hairpins, she could not hide her beauty, and what was even more rare was that there was a faint sense of nobility on her body, she didn't look like the daughter of Shengdou Xiaomin's family, especially her The middle-aged strong man beside him, holding a sword, vaguely looks like her guard.

The young lady quickly noticed Xiang Zhuang's sharp eyes, she frowned slightly and turned around.

The middle-aged strong man also noticed Xiang Zhuang's rudeness, and was about to draw his sword with his backhand, but was stopped by the young lady. Gongsun Sui also wanted to draw his sword, but was also stopped by Xiang Zhuang. The crowd disappeared, and Gongsun Suicai said: "General, these two people may have seen through our identities, should we chase them and kill them?"

"Gongsun Sui, you are too impulsive!" Xiang Zhuang frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice, "As a general, you must be calm, you must remain calm at all times, understand?"

"Promise!" Gongsun said in a low voice, "I understand."

"From now on, don't talk casually, and act according to my wink!"

After saying that, Xiang Zhuang turned around and squeezed into the crowd to disappear, Gongsun then winked at several village chiefs who were mixed in the crowd, followed Xiang Zhuang, and slowly approached the porridge shed.

At the head of the Ao Cang city, the doorman Man Qiuchen said to Chen Xi worriedly: "My lord, it is a serious crime to open the Ao Cang privately to release grain. Once the King of Han investigates it, it will not be a joke."

"The King of Han will not pursue it." Chen Xi said calmly, with his hands behind his back, "I only used a few dozen shi of grain, but I helped him regain the voice of benevolence and love for the people. He was too happy, so how could he pursue it?"

"Dozens of grains?" Man Qiuchen said in amazement, "There are so many hungry people, it's only enough for them to drink!"

Dozens of other diners also looked at each other in blank dismay. There were [-] hungry people gathered at the foot of Mount Ao. A mere few dozen stones of food was really enough for these hungry people to drink, and it was porridge so thin that people could be seen in it!They didn't know that Chen Xi's move was just for show, just to gain fame, not to really help the hungry people.

"There is nothing I can do about it. I only have this authority." Chen Xi shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Hou Chang and Wang Huang, please go and guard the porridge shed. If the hungry people make trouble and collide with the porridge shed, they will be killed immediately." No pardon!"

"Promise!" The two well-dressed doormen suddenly agreed, and immediately took orders.

Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and searched aimlessly among the hungry people at the foot of the mountain, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the beautiful girl he saw last night, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Xiang Zhuang and Gongsun Sui took the broken bowl picked up by the roadside, and unexpectedly received two bowls of shiny porridge. Throwing it on the ground, he cursed loudly: "Damn it, this clear soup with little water is also called porridge? Bird, this is pot water!"

This yell was harsh, and it was too late when Xiang Zhuang wanted to stop it.

The dozen or so soldiers guarding the porridge shed immediately looked over in unison, with unfriendly expressions on their faces, and a small school boy with a long sword strode towards Gongsun Sui.

A kind old man next to him hurriedly persuaded him: "Young man, it's good to have a thin mouth, and it's good not to die of starvation. You hurry up and admit your mistake to this general, huh?" The small guard guard pleaded, "General, this general, that young man is young and ignorant, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

But the little school bluntly pushed the old man away, and walked straight towards Gongsun Sui. Gongsun Sui turned his back and wanted to draw his sword again, but Xiang Zhuang held him down firmly, so he had no choice but to stop.

The little schoolman strode up to Gongsun Sui, but didn't make a move. He just looked Gongsun Sui up and down, and said, "You stupid bastard, you look quite strong, you should have some strength, yes, don't If you have begged for food with this, then go with me, and I will find you a good job."

Gongsun said angrily, "Why should I go with you?"

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be such an idiot, and dare to talk back?" The little school was really upset now.

When Xiang Zhuang heard this, his heart was moved. He was worried that he couldn't sneak into the city, and the opportunity fell from the sky. He rushed forward and said: "This general, my brother is ignorant, don't be as knowledgeable as him." , and smiled flatteringly, "General, as long as there is something dry to eat, my brother will go with you. However, it's not good if it's thin, and it won't make you strong if you drink it."

"I have something to do!" The little principal gave a thumbs up and said proudly, "Two meals a day, do you want to go?"

As soon as the words were finished, the little school noticed the two long rag bags that Xiang Zhuang and Gongsun Sui held under their armpits, their expressions changed slightly, and their right hand inadvertently put on the hilt of the sword, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you carrying under your armpits?"

Gongsun Sui's expression changed slightly, but Xiang Zhuang said indifferently: "It's just two long knives with self-defense."

"Knife!?" The schoolboy stepped back two steps immediately after hearing the words, drew his sword loudly, and said sharply, "Throw it over!"

Gongsun Sui's face changed drastically, but seeing that Xiang Zhuang hadn't drawn his sword, he didn't dare to act rashly, but Xiang Zhuang looked calm, and immediately threw the rag bag wrapped with the horizontal knife under his arm to the Xiaoxiao, Said: "The ancestor of the villain was a blacksmith, and these two knives were used for self-defense by our brothers before we left our hometown to escape."

While talking, the little schoolboy had already untied the rag, and the horizontal knife hidden inside was exposed.

Seeing the Hengdao at first sight, the little schoolmaster's eyes lit up immediately, and he praised: "A good knife! It's really a good knife!"

Touching Leng Sensen's blade, Xiao Xiao looked back at Xiang Zhuang and asked, "Are you still able to forge?"

Xiang Zhuang nodded again and again: "If you go back to the general, the villain's family has been forging iron for generations, especially good at forging weapons!"

"Haha, then you've come to the right place. Our Master Chen is the most respectful and virtuous corporal. Since you are good at making weapons, you will definitely be treated respectfully by the adults." After the junior officer said that, he threw the horizontal knife back to Xiang Zhuang. Then he said, "Let's go, follow me to see my master." After finishing speaking, the little schoolboy turned around and left.

This small school is none other than Chen Xi's disciple Hou Chang. Hou Chang knows that Chen Xi likes to support scholars, and he often seeks out strange people from all over the world with his strong family resources. As long as he has a skill, Chen Xi will definitely try his best to recruit him Now, today he recruited two blacksmiths who are good at making weapons for Chen Xi at once, and he must be able to get a large reward.

Xiang Zhuang said without losing the opportunity: "General, there are quite a few township party members who escaped from my hometown together. There are also thirty to fifty young and middle-aged men among them, and they all come from blacksmith backgrounds. Do you want to be recruited into the army?"

"Oh?" Hou Chang didn't suspect fraud at all, and said with more joy, "Your township party members can make iron?"

"Yes, of course." Xiang Zhuang nodded again and again, "However, the craftsmanship of these township party members is not as good as that of villains. The skills of villains are passed down from their ancestors, so they cannot be easily shown to others."

"Haha, as long as you know how to forge iron, it doesn't matter if your skill is good!" Hou Chang laughed and said, "But let's talk about it first, as long as there are young and strong men in the army, old and young women and children are not needed. At most, I will pay you some in advance. Monthly money, how about finding a place nearby for your family to settle down first?"

"All right, all right, all according to the general, all according to the general." Xiang Zhuang said with a wink, so Gongsun then summoned more than fifty dead men who ascended first, but the fifty dead men who ascended first had already put their bodies on their bodies. The daggers were given to others.

This is necessary, otherwise, if more than 1 "hungry people" with swords and swords entered the barracks, wouldn't they be allowed to go out of their way?As long as General Ao Cang is not an idiot, he will definitely find the problem!Besides, Chen Xi is not an idiot. Since this person likes to support scholars, he must have something special. How can he be easy to get along with? #################################################### ##########PS: Congratulations to "Jade Blood Sword 19810616" for becoming the first master of the Chu-Han Contest!Thanks again: Bayaヅ文, Hidden Dragon? .
