Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 236 Breaking through Ye City (4)

"General Su You, don't worry! We know what to do!" said the two officers.

"Okay! Please, I can't stay here for a long time, please leave!" After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, disappearing into the night.

The two turned around, and one of them brought a few soldiers to the huge city gate, Su You's messenger followed behind, but unexpectedly, the other officer chopped him unconscious with a knife in his hand, and sent Su You's messenger A poison was drawn between the teeth in his mouth.

Ask someone to drag the messenger down and hand it over to the judge for interrogation. The two of them told the judge about Su You's bribed them to help open the city gate early in the morning, but Su You didn't know about it and was kept in the dark.

"Who is it?" Outside Li Song's camp, a group of soldiers patrolling the camp found someone approaching the camp stealthily, so the leader Shi Da shouted and immediately alarmed the other soldiers.

The soldiers who came after hearing the news surrounded the man, and the man raised his hands above his head and said, "I am General Zhang Nan's confidant, and I have urgent information about Yecheng! I want to meet the Prime Minister!"

Regardless of whether what the person in front of him said was true or not, the soldiers of Li Jun tied them up before it was too late, so Zhang San, the messenger sent by Zhang Nan, was tied up and taken into the camp.

After hearing the news, Guan Sheng rushed to Li Song's tent after repeated inquiries to no avail, and woke Li Song up from his sleep.

"General, the Prime Minister has already fallen asleep, so please don't disturb me! Please forgive me, General!" The guards outside Li Song's tent stopped Guan Sheng, a little embarrassed.

"I have something important to present to the Prime Minister! Please inform me, the matter is of great importance!" Guan Sheng said, he also knew that Li Song was going to sleep, so it is not easy to disturb him!But this matter is really urgent.

"General, please wait!" Seeing that Guan Sheng's expression did not seem to be fake, it seemed that there was something serious, so a personal guard continued to stand in front of Guan Sheng, and the other family turned around and shouted into the tent: "Report to the Prime Minister! General Guan Sheng has something to see!"

Without Li Song's call, no one dared to break into the tent. As soon as the guards finished speaking, they heard Li Song's voice from inside the tent, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the Prime Minister! There will be matters in Yecheng at the end, and you need to report them face to face!" Guan Sheng clasped his fists outside the tent and saluted.

"Come in and talk!" Li Song's voice came again, and the guard hurriedly retreated to the side, letting the door open to Guan Shengtongxing.

Guan Sheng entered in a hurry, the lights in the tent were lit, Li Song had already got up, saw Guan Sheng and said: "Guan Sheng, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you came to my place, what's the big deal, I just heard you say something about the city of Ye Could it be that some trouble happened in Ye City?"

"Report to the Prime Minister! Our patrol officers and soldiers caught a man who came from Ye City. The man claimed to be Zhang Nan's confidant and brought information about Ye City! You must present yourself to the Prime Minister." Guan Sheng clasped his fists and saluted .

"Oh!" Li Song felt very surprised, "What did the visitor say?"

"Report to the Prime Minister! The man didn't explain what it was, he just said that he could help the Prime Minister capture Yecheng." Guan Sheng said.

"It turned out to be so! Then bring this person up, and I want to see how Zhang Nan can help me capture Yecheng." Li Song said.

Li Song immediately asked someone to bring Zhang San, Zhang Nan's messenger, and after a while, the guards escorted Zhang San, who was tied up, to Li Song.

Zhang San immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "The villain, Zhang San, pays his respects to the prime minister! The villain is Zhang Nan's subordinate, and under the orders of Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, I come here to ask the prime minister, willing to serve the prime minister."

"Oh!" Li Song was a little surprised after hearing this!Someone actually wanted to betray Yuan Shao, "What do Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch want? What can they offer? How can we prove that they really want to surrender?"

"The two lords only want to be a high-ranking official and a fine horse to ride. They are willing to support the prime minister and help the prime minister capture Yecheng without bloodshed. In order to prove the determination of the two lords, the two lords are willing to tie up Yuan Xi and send it to the prime minister as a show." Loyalty, and Master Zhang Nan asked me to tell the Prime Minister that Yuan Shao has sent people to call the local troops from all counties to rescue Yecheng, and Youzhou is standing still." Zhang San said.

"Okay!" Li Song said yes after hearing this, if this matter can be successful, everyone will be happy!Li Song went on to say: "You go down to rest temporarily, I will discuss with the generals, and then I will give you an answer, come on! Take him down to rest."

As soon as Li Song finished speaking, the personal guards stepped forward and asked Zhang San to go down to rest. Zhang San got up and saluted Li Song, and followed the personal guards out of the camp.

"Guan Sheng, what do you think about this matter?" Li Song raised his head and saw Guan Sheng standing beside him, so he asked casually.

"This...Prime Minister, it's okay if you let me lead the army to charge into the battle. As for this matter, I'm sorry for being stupid!" Guan Sheng clasped his fists and saluted.

"Okay! You go and call General Xue Rengui and Sima Yi to my tent." Li Song said.

"No!" Guan Sheng clasped his fists in salute, exited the tent, and went to call Xue Rengui and Sima Yi to Li Song's tent.

"The last general (subordinate) Xue Li (Sima Yi) has seen the prime minister!" The two saluted.

"Sit!" Li Song waved them to take their seats, and after the two thanked them, they took their seats beside him. Li Song continued: "In Yecheng, Yuan Shao's subordinates Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu sent people here, saying that they would join me. , for my internal response, to help me seize Yecheng, and Yuan Xi is willing to be kidnapped, what do you two think about this matter?"

"Prime Minister! I think we should be more cautious. Maybe it's Yuan Shao's scheme and it's not impossible. We should be careful." Xue Rengui said, in his opinion, one-sided words of the enemy should never be listened to. What if this is a trap? .

"Prime Minister, I think this can be trusted! With these two people as internal support, great things can be accomplished." Sima Yi objected.

"Oh! Zhongda! Why is this?" Li Song asked, Xue Rengui and Guan Sheng also looked at Sima Yi.

Sima cupped his hands and saluted, "Report to the Prime Minister! Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan are generals of Yuan Xi's department, not Yuan Shao's aides like Guo Tu and others."

"As the General said just now, if this is a conspiracy, the executors should be Yuan Shao's Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others, not Yuan Xi, the unpopular second son's subordinates."

"No matter how unpopular Yuan Xi is! He is still Yuan Shao's second son. No matter how much Yuan Shao doesn't like this son, he won't let him be a bait!"

"So, I speculate that this matter is true in all likelihood. The prime minister can let the person come back and order Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan to tie Yuan Xi to our army's camp three days later, so that we can know the truth. .”

Li Song felt that Sima Yi's analysis made sense. Anyway, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao were both father and son. With Yuan Shao's character, he would never use his own son as a bait, even if he didn't like this son. Without Yuan Shao's consent, Guo Tu , Fengji and the others were even more afraid to do so.

"Okay! Tell them to tie Yuan Xi to the camp three days later." Li Song stroked his hands and said, "Come here, quickly bring Zhang Nan's envoy here."

The personal guards immediately took orders to go, and brought Zhang Nan's envoy Zhang San to him in a short time.
