Chapter 490
Listening to Yu Shinan's attitude, Luo Shixin made a 180-degree turn and couldn't help but said in surprise, "You change your face really quickly."

Yu Shinan said seriously: "How can I change my face? I have long wanted to kill Yu Wenhua and this beast. He is a rebellious minister who plotted against the emperor. He killed my elder brother in Jiangdu back then. I have long been hated by him. It's just that my wife at that time My son is still here, I am afraid that I will be killed, so I have to be wronged and follow the thief."

"In fact, for so many years, I have been in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han. Now Zhao Wang is in harmony with the weather and has broken with Yu Wenhua. I should serve in the front of the army to bring order out of chaos, so as to return this country to a bright future."

"What a Lang Lang Qian Kun, what a quick talker."

As soon as the words came out, Luo Shixin saw it and went forward to pay homage to the other party. At first, Yu Shinan thought it was the general of the Zhao army, but after seeing the other party clearly, he changed his expression and said: "It turns out that it is King Zhao, you are not in the famous army at the moment. "

Li Chongjiu was accompanied by only a few generals. When he saw Yu Shinan, he smiled and said: "Liyangcang is about our army's victory in Hebei. How can I not come here in person, but I just heard what Yu Shilang said. In other words, why didn't you make a fuss at the beginning, and now I have captured it, don't you think it's too late to say this?"

Yu Shinan's back was drenched in cold sweat, he knew that Li Chongjiu would never offend him, so he didn't dare to repeat what he had just fooled Luo Shixin.

At that moment, Yu Shinan said: "Let's tell the truth to King Zhao. Yu Wenhua and the regicide have caused public anger. Tongshan's defeat for Li Mi means that the general situation is over. Now, except for the two Yuwen brothers and a few confidantes, the people in Xu Kingdom are already in panic. , the soldiers are all thinking of fleeing, and all the ministers are trying to find their own way out."

"Then dare to ask Yu Shilang where is the way out?"

Yu Shinan blushed, he planned to defect to Li Tang from the bottom of his heart, except for the military power, Li Tang was very generous to the old court officials and the children of the aristocratic family.

Yu Shinan knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "I implore King Zhao to take him in."

Li Chongjiu smiled and helped Yu Shinan up, and said: "Servant Yu is in trouble, if you can help me take down Liyang City without bloodshed, you will be the servant of the Huangmen in Xu State, and you will still be the servant of the Huangmen in Zhao State, but if you play something It doesn’t matter if it’s tricks, I’ll only take a few days to capture this city with the [-] troops that came with me this time.”

Yu Shinan said seriously: "King Zhao must rest assured, a certain cooperation will do."

When it comes to Liyang Cang, I have to mention Li Chongjiu's strategy of diverting disasters to the east.

At that time, Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan had their faces broken, so he proposed to Li Mi to take Hebei first, then Shandong, and resume the strategy of fighting for Luoyang.

After hearing this, Li Mi ordered Xu Shiji to lead his troops to attack Liyang Cang due to the famine caused by floods in Shandong.Open Liyang warehouse to recruit soldiers, and 20 victorious soldiers in ten days.

After that, Yu Wenhua and went north. Knowing that Yu Wenhua and food were scarce, Li Mi wanted to take Liyang Cang for food, so he abandoned Liyang City and ordered General Xu Shiji to guard Liyang Cang.As soon as Yu Wenhuaji attacked Li Yangcang, Li Mi took the opportunity to attack Yu Wenhuaji's base camp from behind the sliding platform. In the final battle of Tongshan, Yu Wenhuaji suffered a crushing defeat and gave up the opportunity to fight for world supremacy.

Now Yu Wenhuaji has finally got the Liyang Cang, and has been waiting for several more years.

But right now Li Shentong is in a hurry to attack, Yu Wenhuaji had to draw troops to resist.

Now Liyang Warehouse is empty of troops, giving Luo Shixin a chance to seize the city.At the beginning Luo Shixin was a general of Wagang and was stationed in Liyang City for a period of time, so he was very familiar with the location of Liyang City.

Liyang Cangcheng is located in the southwest of Liyang City (Note [-]).

The army disembarked at Liyang Ferry, the great poet Cen Shen was writing poems, the snow was flying in the south of Liyang City, and the people at Liyang Ferry had not returned.In the capital of Ye, we can only see the hills in ancient times, and the Zhangshui still flows like the old days.On the other side of Liyangjin is the world-famous Baima City, Baimajin.

The soldiers removed the siege weapons from the ship one after another, and if the city gate was not broken, they would forcibly attack the city.

Afterwards, [-] elite soldiers marched first, Zhao Jun soldiers walked slowly among the hills, Li Chongjiu walked on foot like an ordinary general, he had lived in Liyang City for a while, and he was very concerned about Liyang City. The topography of the area has also been well studied.

Liyang City was built on the back of Dagu Mountain, the Yellow River is at the southern foot of Dagu Mountain, and Liyang City and Liyang warehouse are both at the northern foot of Dagu Mountain.

Liyang City excavated a tributary of the Yellow River as a moat. The north gate of Liyang City was directly connected to Yecheng in ancient times. On the road of poetry, I went through the Long Live Forest and traveled to Liyang.

In Li Chongjiu's strategy, by capturing Liyang Cang, Mingzhou can be surrounded from the south.Therefore, he gave up Liu Heitai's confrontation, led the water army on board, and seemed to retreat to the east bank of Yongji Canal.

In fact, he followed Zhang Xuansu's strategy and gave up his plan to fight Liu Heita in Mingzhou. Then, in the name of Empress Xiao, he turned south and attacked the empty Liyang warehouse.

Capturing Li Yang Cang has two major benefits for Li Chongjiu. The first is that Li Yang Cang is the same famous granary as Huiluo Cang. During the Great War in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was sending troops to Shanxi and Luoyang, or going east to pacify Shandong, there was no need to worry about soldiers and rations.

Although the Second Immediately gave up the plan to attack Daming, occupying Liyang Cang can also threaten Mingzhou from the south.It can also be avoided, in case Li Yangcang falls into Li Tang's hands after Yu Wenhuaji is defeated by Li Shentong.

Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu led an army of [-] to conquer Li Yang himself.

It was almost dusk, and Luo Shixin, Yu Shinan and more than a hundred soldiers disguised as Xu Jun went to the city.And Li Chongjiu personally led elite soldiers to ambush on the city wall where the lights could not reach. Once the city gate was breached, they would immediately attack the city together.
It was getting late at this time, when Luo Shixin and Yu Shinan came to the front of the city, but the gate of the northern city was closed, and the suspension bridge in front of the moat was pulled up high.

Seeing this scene, Yu Shinan's face suddenly changed.

Luo Shixin glared at Yu Shinan viciously, and Yu Shinan immediately raised his throat and shouted at the top of the wall: "Open the door!"

A group of lanterns was raised under the city, and dozens of crossbowmen from Xu Jun stood on the edge of the city wall. The gate guard asked arrogantly, "Which one is calling the gate under the city?"

Yu Shinan said angrily: "You stupid army man, don't you even know me? Didn't you tell you when you were leaving to keep the door open for me?"

The city gate guard looked down the city for a while, and after seeing Yu Shinan clearly, he immediately showed arrogance and said: "Sorry, it turns out that it is the Yuhuang Gate, where the military order is. After nightfall, the city gate is not allowed to be opened. The orderer beheaded the captain of the city gate and the lieutenant general, for the sake of the last general's head, would you beg Yu Huangmen to stay outside the city for one night, and when the morning dawns, the last general will personally apologize for you?"

Yu Shinan said: "Presumptuous, I still have important military matters to enter the city, and I will report to the city guard, you let me spend the night outside the city, which will delay the military plane, what should I do?"

The guard at the gate of the city listened, showing a bit of panic at the moment, and said: "It turns out that the Yuhuang Gate has a military order, please forgive me, the general will know."

After seeing the other party's consent, the suspension bridge outside the city was slowly lowered. Yu Shinan stepped on the suspension bridge with a slightly happy expression on his face. Luo Shixin also suppressed his joy, and together with all the soldiers pressed their knives on their waists, they only waited for the city gate to open before robbing the city.

At that time, the city gate did not open, but a hanging basket hung from the city wall. The city gate guard said: "Yu Huangmen can enter the city, and stay outside the city as you go, and spend the night temporarily."

Hearing that Luo Shixin and the others changed their expressions, this hanging basket can only accommodate two people going to the city, how can it accommodate hundreds of people, Yu Huangmen said: "You bastard, can you even trust a certain subordinate? I have to go here tonight pass."

Luo Shixin said coldly at the side: "Has this general heard of it? There used to be a city gate officer who refused to open the door in the middle of the night and offended the parachutist Li Guang. Later, the city gate officer was killed by Li Guang. Now you offended, Will Yu Huangmen have a good life in the future?"

The city gate guard said: "This brother, you are so new. I haven't seen him in Liyang City before, but I think he is also a follower of Yuhuangmen. I am a soldier and I can't afford it. Don't you I don't know what Li Guang is going to use to suppress me, I only know the word "military order."

After finishing speaking, the city gate guard repeated it seriously, saying: "Without the military order in hand, without General Yuwen's warrant, the last general would not dare to open the city, I beg Yu Huangmen to forgive me."

Hearing that Yu Shinan's feet went limp and he was almost sitting on the ground, Luo Shixin held his knife and thought in his heart, as expected, Liyang City, as an important city of Xu State, is a battleground for military strategists.

Yu Shinan and Luo Shixin said: "It is hopeless to seize the city now. If you can trust General Luo in the city, I will make friends with Ouyang Xun, Tai Changqing, the city guard. There are good generals, and hundreds of moves who are proficient in martial arts, if you can instigate against him, wouldn't it be a hundred times stronger than a certain one."

Luo Shixin thought about it, snorted coldly, and said: "I'm not afraid of your deceit. You just saw King Zhao's army gathering outside the city. If you want to cheat, it will be the same if you attack and break the city in a few days."

"That is, that is." Yu Shinan was overjoyed when Luo Shixin agreed.

Yu Shinan should sit in the hanging basket, and Luo Shixin also got into the hanging basket.Yu Shinan saw that Luo Shixin had a sharp knife hidden in the sleeve of his right hand, but pressed it to his back as if nothing had happened, his face froze immediately, and he said: "General Luo, if you really have the courage and insight, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman."

After speaking, the hanging basket slowly rose to the top of the city, carrying Luo Shixin and Yu Shinan into the city.

At this time, Li Chongjiu, who was lying in ambush outside the city, heard the report from Luo Shixin's subordinates, and a general beside him said: "General Luo's move is a bit reckless. Since you can't lie to the city, you can't let Yu Shinan enter the city."

Li Chongjiu said: "Since we can't cheat to open the city gate, it's useless to keep Yu Shinan outside the city. There is some use in the city. We will see the result tomorrow. Even if it doesn't work, what we lost is only one night."

Note [-]: According to "Kuo Di Zhi", there is Gucang City in the southwest of Liyang.
