Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25 Take Hanoi
Li Song's three army gathered in Huai County, Hanoi County, and set up camp three miles away from Zhang Yang's first line of defense to discuss attacking Huai County.

Inside the big tent, Li Song looked at the people present and said, "This time, Dong Zhuo sent [-] Xiliang troops to reinforce Zhang Yang, and let Lu Bu, who had an old friendship with Zhang Yang, command this army."

"Lü Bu is known as the most powerful general in the world, and the Xiliang Army is a brave and skilled fighter. Don't take it lightly. There are still three days before Lu Bu's army can reach Hanoi. Within these three days, Hanoi must be taken to welcome Lu Bu and his army. The attack of his Xiliang army."

"My lord! Today, Zhang Yang has set up three lines of defense in Huaixian County, and the defenders in the city are the horns of each other. If one party is in trouble, the other three parties will come to reinforce it."

"However, Zhang Yang's army was defeated by my three-way army, and suffered heavy casualties. I am afraid that the strength of the army is insufficient. Now he dares to divide his troops elsewhere. Zhang Yang has violated the taboo of military strategists!"

"Our army only needs to defeat each one. Huai County can go down in a day. Yu is willing to be the vanguard and clear the field for the army!" Xiang Yu stood up and said.

"Report!" Before the other people in the account could speak, a voice came, and a soldier came in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to my lord! Someone outside the camp asked to see him, claiming to be a messenger sent by the enemy general Yang Chou , I have something important to report to the lord."

"Oh! Bring him quickly!" After hearing this, Li Song ordered the soldiers to bring the messenger to him.

"No!" The soldier took the order and left.

"My lord! Why did Yang Chou send someone here at this time?" Pei Yuanqing asked.

"Hehehe! When the messenger arrives, it will be all clear." Li Song laughed.

While they were talking, the soldier brought Yang Chou's messenger to Li Song. When the messenger saw Li Song, he immediately knelt and kowtowed, "I pay my respects to Mr. Zhou Mu."

"You are the messenger sent by Yang Chou? Why did Yang Chou send you here?" Li Song looked at the man kneeling under the tent and said.

"Master Zhou Mu, the younger one was sent by Master Yang Chou to deliver a letter to him. It is Master Yang Chou's servant. This is a letter from Master Yang Chou to Sir." After Yang Chou's servant said, he took out a A letter, handed out.

Pei Yuanqing stepped forward, took the letter from him, and turned around to hand it to Li Song. Li Song took the letter, opened it and looked at it carefully.

After reading the letter, Li Song said to Yang Chou's servant: "I have read your master's letter, and I already know the matter. Go back and tell him!"

"Yes! I'll report back to my master right now!" Yang Chou's servant kowtowed and bowed out, returning to the county town to report to Yang Chou.

"Brother Song! What is this Yang Chou doing here to deliver the letter?" Li Yuanba waited for Yang Chou's servants to leave, and hurriedly asked. Except for Li Yuanba who has no rules, everyone else abides by the rules.

"This letter from Yang Chou said that tonight he will take Zhang Yang's head and join forces with our army to take down Huai County. Tonight, at midnight, he will hold a torch high in the city as a name!"

"Everyone! At midnight tonight, when we take Huai County and take control, everyone go down and prepare!" Li Song said.

"My lord! What if Yang Chou tricks our army into the city and ambushes our army inside the city?" Gao Shun stood up and said.

"Gao Shun, in your opinion, what should we do?" Li Song thought about it and found it reasonable, so he asked Gao Shun.

"Shun thinks that we should send an army into the city to investigate first, and after confirming the situation, it will not be too late for the army to enter the city again." Gao Shun suggested.

"Okay! Tonight, at midnight, Xiang Yu will lead the troops into the city to find out." After hearing this, Li Song ordered Xiang Yu to lead the troops into the city to find out the truth, "Go down and prepare."

"No!" Everyone took the order and left.

In Huaixian County, Zhang Yang was dressed in military uniform, and said to his general Yang Chou, "Strengthen the sentry tonight, and let the brothers be careful, so that no one will know it by touching it."

"Just hold on for three days and wait for Fengxian's reinforcements to arrive. At that time, the inside and outside will attack him by surprise. Maybe he can take advantage of the situation and enter Shangdang County and seize Bingzhou."

The more Zhang Yang thought about it, the more excited he became, but he forgot the shortcoming of his lack of troops.

"Don't worry, my lord! I'm afraid my lord won't have this chance!" Yang Chou said.

"Hmm! What do you mean?" Zhang Yang didn't react for a while, and asked in doubt.

"Pfft!" Zhang Yang vomited blood, a sharp knife pierced his chest, blood flowed out from the wound, Zhang Yang turned his head and looked at Yang Chou in disbelief.

"Why, why, what, you, you want, want this, do this..." Before Zhang Yang came and finished speaking, he fell to the ground and died. Yang Chou, who was regarded as a confidant, would assassinate him.

"Why? Of course it's for your own wealth and future. Don't blame me." Yang Chou said to Zhang Yang's corpse, reached out and pulled out the sharp blade on Zhang Yang's chest, chopped off Zhang Yang's head with it, and found a piece of cloth to cut it off pack up.

After doing this, Yang Chou opened the door, and the soldiers outside said to Yang Chou: "Master, everything is ready, just wait for your order."

"Go and call the military officers at all levels to the lobby, and prepare your knives and axes. If anyone dares to..." Yang Chou wiped his neck.

"No! This subordinate will do it now!" The soldiers took the order and left.

In the lobby, all the military generals under Zhang Yangjun's command were all present, and there was a lot of discussion. They didn't understand that the enemy was present, so why did they call them here?Yang Chou came out from behind the screen.

"General Yang, I don't know what it means to summon us? Why don't you see the prefect?" A low-level military officer said.

"Yes! We want to see the prefect." A military officer echoed.

Yang Chou gave a look at a soldier, and the soldier took out a head from behind and threw it on the ground. Yang Chou said, "Zhang Yang acted against the law and sought his own death in order to be beheaded by me. Now I will show you a clear way." .”

"Everyone follow me to seek refuge with Bingzhou Shepherd Li Song, what do you think?"

"I will obey the general's orders." The military officer who spoke first was the first to express his opinion, and the others echoed when they saw someone standing up.

After all, among all the people here, no one would joke about their worth and life. Anyway, the boss Zhang Yang is gone, and now Yang Chou is the boss here, and just now he saw a figure flickering behind the screen, so Yang Chou didn't make any arrangements Swordsmen, who will believe it.

For the sake of my own life, I have to agree if I don't agree.

"Okay! As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. From now on, as long as you follow me, I guarantee that everyone will eat well and drink hot, hahaha!" Yang Chou laughed loudly.

In this way, without anyone resisting, Yang Chou easily took control of Zhang Yang's troops and everything in Huai County. Even Yang Chou didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
