Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 Taishi Ci

In Hefei City, one person looked around furtively, after a while, he tiptoed to the stables, found the back trough for raising horses, and the two hid in a corner to discuss.

Ge Ding said: "I have sent someone to report to General Tai Shici, and I will definitely come to meet you tonight. What do you plan to do?"

Houcao looked around vigilantly, and said softly: "This place is far away from the Chinese army, and I can't enter at night in a hurry, so I had to light a fire on the haystack, and you go to the front to call for rebellion. The city is in chaos, and it is time to assassinate Zhang Liao. At that time, the soldiers will disperse."

Ge Ding said with great joy: "This plan is very good! Let's act accordingly."

Houcao looked around vigilantly again, with a cautious look, Ge Ding saw it funny and said: "When I came, I already found out that there was no one, why should you be so careful."

Hou Quo lowered his voice and said: "Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years. Today I saw the prime minister in the mansion."

"You, you mean that thief Li is in the city when he arrives in Hefei?" Ge Ding said in surprise, and when he saw Houcao nodded, he complained a little, "Why didn't you say it earlier, and make preparations early, and even kill thief Li together?" gone."

On the one hand, the two conspired, and on the other hand, Zhang Liao returned to the city victoriously. Li Song rewarded the three armies and ordered them not to disarm and sleep overnight. The left and right were puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Today, our army won a complete victory in the first battle. Wu soldiers fled far away. Why doesn't the general take off his armor and rest?"

Li Song smiled without answering, looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, do you know what my intentions are?"

Zhang Liao cupped his fists and saluted, "The general thinks that the prime minister is worried that Soochow will take the opportunity to attack at night."

Li Songdao: "Wen Yuan, in your opinion! How should the arrangement be appropriate?"

Zhang Liao said: "It's the way of a general; don't get carried away with success because of a momentary victory, and don't sigh because of a defeat."

"I thought that if our army was unprepared, the Soochow Army might take advantage of the situation. What will we do to stop the enemy's attack?"

"Tonight's defense should be more cautious than every night before."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Li Song laughed and said, "Wen Yuan is right! It's not that I'm worried, but that the enemy has already sent people into the city, using fire as a sign, and it's time to sneak attack on our army."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!It was never expected that the enemy army would dare to sneak into the city. Fortunately, the prime minister had sharp eyesight and saw through the enemy's trick early in the morning.

Li Song was different from what they thought. This time he was able to predict the future. After all, it was recorded in books. This time it was useful, but no one can guarantee that he will be so lucky next time. After all, history has gradually left him. original track.

"Prime Minister! At the end of the day, please order to find out the spies who sneaked into the city, and listen to the prime minister." Zhang Liao hurriedly asked for orders. As the guard of Hefei, he didn't even know that someone sneaked into the city.

"You don't need to go to this matter! You can just wait here!" Li Song said, Zhang Liao turned pale when he heard that, thinking that Li Song was blaming him for his mistakes, and was about to open his mouth to explain a few words.

A man rushed over, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Song and said, "Report to the Prime Minister! The criminals have all confessed!"

"Oh! May I ask about their plan of action and who is the ghost?" Li Song asked.

Only now did everyone understand that there were not only spies sneaking in, but also ghosts on their own side. No wonder, they were able to sneak into the city so smoothly without being discovered. It turned out that there was an insider, but who could this insider be?Everyone looked at the people around them, for fear that the guilt was among themselves and others.

"Prime Minister, Soochow's house in the city should be the rear trough for raising horses. They have all confessed to it. Tonight, they set fire to it as a sign, and one person shouted rebellion in front, causing chaos in the city. They took the opportunity to assassinate General Zhang Liao, and Taishici of Soochow came outside to respond." People report.

Everyone looked at Zhang Liao. It turned out that they were coming for Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was startled and angry. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted, "Prime Minister! The last general..."

"Okay, Wen Yuan, I don't blame you for this matter. If I were the commander-in-chief of Soochow, I would also send someone to assassinate you, the chief general. In this way, there will be no leader in the crowd, so I can take the opportunity to fight for Hefei." Li Song interrupted What Zhang Liao said, needless to say, he knew what Zhang Liao wanted to say, and he was not a narrow-minded person, so how could he blame Zhang Liao for this matter?

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Zhang Liao thanked him and got up, then turned around and asked, "Who is the person who is in contact with the rear of the horse?"

"If you go back to the general, it's a man named Ge Ding. He is a fellow countryman of Tai Shici, the general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. He is mixed with the army today and retreated with the army to Feicheng." The man said.

"Everything is done according to plan!" Li Song said to the man.

"No!" The man clasped his fists and saluted, and took the order to leave.

Not long after, a fire broke out in the stables in the backyard, there was a lot of rebellion, and the reporters were like numbness. Li Song asked Zhang Liao to go out of the house and mount the horse, and called a dozen relatives and generals to stand in power.

The people outside the mansion did not know the inside story: "General, the shouts are very anxious, do you want to go to the tea stand?"

Zhang Liao said disdainfully: "How could there be so many rebels? This is a strategy of rebels deliberately disturbing the sergeants. Anyone who commits rebellion will be executed first!"

Not long after, Li Song's personal guard captured Ge Ding and came to Zhang Liao. The personal guard clasped his fists and saluted, "General Zhang, the prime minister has orders! I will leave these two to your disposal."

"Execute on the spot!" After saying that, he handed the two of them over to Zhang Liao, and they went back to the mansion directly to report to him.

All of a sudden, gongs and drums sounded outside the city gate, and the shouts were loud. Zhang Liao knew that these were soldiers from Soochow. The original plan goes ahead.”

"Come here, light the fire, and open the city gate!" Zhang Liao ordered people to light a fire inside the city gate, and everyone rebelled, opened the city gate wide, and lowered the drawbridge.

When Tai Shici saw the gate of the city opened wide, he was overjoyed, so he changed his mind and rode his horse in first. Not knowing what it was, he thought that Ge Ding had already succeeded.

There was a cannon sound in the city, and random arrows were shot down. Tai Shici was shocked and hurriedly retreated, with several arrows in his body. .

Lu Xun and Huang Bing hurriedly led troops to fight, rescued Tai Shici, and fought with Li Song's army. The Eastern Wu army temporarily repelled Xue Tong and others by relying on the camp, and Li Song's army retreated.

"My lord! Now that the enemy army is powerful, and new troops are constantly joining Hefei, I think it's time to retreat to Jiangdong, so I ask my lord to make a decision." Seeing that Tai Shici was seriously injured, Sun Quan became even more sad. Zhang Zhao asked Sun Quan to stop his troops and return. Jiangdong to go.

"According to Zibu, send the order! Withdraw to Jiangdong, and then make plans." Sun Quan followed Zhang Zhao's suggestion and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

At this time, someone came to report!Tai Shici's life is dying!Sun Quan hurried to visit. Seeing Sun Quan coming, Tai Shici yelled: "A real man was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword to achieve immortality. Now that his ambition has not been rewarded, he has no choice but to die soon!"

After all, Tai Shi died of compassion.
