Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 624 Zhang Jiong's backhand (1)

If the surrender was due to desperation, and the betrayal of Zhang Liao was a sign of sincerity, then Li Dian's attitude towards him made him more determined to surrender.

Niu Gai is greedy for meritorious deeds and is captured. He made a wrong step, but this does not mean that Niu Gai is a fool without any plans. "Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, and built Shouchun extremely strong. There are still 6000 to [-] people in the city. Li Tong is very good to his subordinates when he is alive. Although Li Tong is dead, his second son is still alive. Li Xu and Li Ji are not enough to attack. , there is more than enough to defend the city, so it can only be outsmarted. But the defeated army must have returned to the city, and if I go to defraud the city, I will inevitably be seen through, and only the reinforcements pretending to be Li Dian may be able to deceive the two of them."

Pretending to be Li Dian's reinforcements?Xu Sheng couldn't help shaking his head. Li Dian fled to Hefei immediately when he saw the situation was bad. He killed only a thousand Cao Jun himself, and the replacement armor might not even be enough for a thousand. How could he pretend to be a reinforcement.Besides, if the Li Xu brothers couldn't see Li Dian, how could they believe that this was reinforcements.

Niu Gai went on to say: "If you can't get by during the day, maybe you can try at night. If it doesn't work, it can be said that we encountered the Han army during the march. Li Dian was besieged and asked Li Xu to come out of the city to rescue..."

Xu Sheng nodded and said: "You can try this plan. You go to pick a few confidantes who can speak eloquently, and report to them. You and I will lie in ambush outside the city."

The two have made a plan and set off for Shouchun immediately.

Brothers Li Xu and Li Ji have been restless since Niu Gai left. They looked forward to the stars and the moon, and hoped that the reinforcements from Zhang Liao and Cao Cao would arrive as soon as possible.

Three days later, more than a thousand people from Niu Gai's expedition fled back. The two carefully screened them before they dared to let them into the city. They also carefully asked about the situation of Niu Gai's battle. Gai surrendered.

"Hey! Niu Gai, Niu Gai, as long as you set up camp and guard against danger, Zhang Liao's reinforcements will arrive within a few days. How dare you!" Li Ji said bitterly.

"Niu Gai was defeated, he either died in battle, was captured, or surrendered." Li Xu said worriedly. "At this point, you and I can only stick to the city. As long as we hold on for ten or eight days, General Wen Yuan will cut off Xu Huang's retreat."

"Brother, don't worry, with me here, no one will be let into the city!"

Two days later, Li Ji patrolled under the moonlight at the first watch.

"Look, general, how many people are coming over there." A soldier pointed to the city and said.

Li Ji watched intently, and sure enough, several people rushed towards him. "Ask who they are?"

"Don't shoot the arrows! We are under General Li Dian!" The visitor shouted again and again.

"Where is General Li Dian?"

"General Li Dian came to rescue under the order of General Zhang Liao. He encountered the enemy general Xu Sheng [-] miles outside the city. The two armies are fighting. General Li sent us to report and ask for reinforcements!"

The visitor had already arrived at the city, and they saw that the clothes were decorated by Cao Jun, and they also had a Huainan accent.

"Do you have a seal certificate?"

"The two armies are at war, where do you get the seal and proof, please go to rescue the general as soon as possible."

"With no evidence, how can I trust you?"

"Are generals Li Xu and Li Ji in the city? General Li Dian is in danger. If there is something wrong with him, you will not be able to escape!"

"Hahaha, I am Li Ji. I am ordered to defend the city. Shouchun is very important. Li Dian will not know it. If I don't see him, I will not let a soldier out of the city, and I will not let a person into the city. I'm not afraid of the king!"

Several people in the city looked at each other. "Let's go back now, wait for General Li Dian to arrive, and see what you say!"

Several people turned around and left, Li Ji couldn't help sneering in the city.

Such a big commotion outside the city had alarmed Li Xu long ago. When he came to the top of the city, he praised his younger brother for doing the right thing.The two were still discussing Li Dian, and nearly 2000 people came from outside the city. "Hurry up and open the city. General Li Dianzhong has passed half a watch again. He is injured. Find the doctor quickly."

"Where is General Li Dian?"

A soldier carried out a man, covered in blood and unconscious, unable to see what he looked like.

"Come on, put down the hanging basket and bring General Li up." Li Xu said.

"Bold! General Li is seriously injured and is in danger. If you don't go to the city to find someone to treat him, are you trying to kill him? How can he sit in a hanging basket in his current state."

"Hey, you guys still want to lie to me." Li Ji sneered. "Come on, archers get ready!"

"Wait a minute! The situation is unclear now, so it's not appropriate to act aggressively." Li Xu hurriedly stopped him. Li Dian is a general and has a good relationship with Li Tong. It would be bad if it really was him. "Come here, put the doctor in a hanging basket and send him down to treat General Li. We will make arrangements after dawn."

"General Li, Xu Huang's pursuit is approaching, please let me enter the city quickly!"

"Don't talk too much! I have my own reasons. You can't gather outside the city gate, and quickly retreat to the side to settle down, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Li Xu shouted.

The fake Han army had no choice but to retreat and let the doctor heal the fake Li Dian's soldiers. Anyway, the doctor didn't know Li Dian.

Xu Sheng lay in ambush twenty miles outside the city, and waited until midnight before the Li brothers left the city. The soldiers reported that Li Xu refused to leave the city and firmly refused to let them enter the city. Ask Xu Sheng what to do?
what to do?Xu Sheng couldn't think of anything to do.Just as he was about to order the soldiers to retreat, they spied on horses to report, and two suspicious people were caught. As long as they saw Xu Huang, they didn't say anything else.

"bring it here!"

"Secret Agent Han Bao, general Xu Sheng!" The two men who came were about [-] years old, the other was about [-] years old, and the strong man in his [-]s saluted.Then he took out a token from his bosom, and said: "I am under the order of Mu Nan, and I will wait for the general for a long time."

"Well, you recognize me?" Xu Sheng already believed [-]% that the person who came here had a token and knew him, and knew that Mu Nan was in charge, so it must be true.

"Why don't I recognize it?" Han Bao asked back.

"Your name is Han Bao?"

"Exactly, the general has never heard of me, but he must have heard of my two elder brothers: Han Long and Han Hu?"

Xu Sheng believed it completely. Maybe some people knew Han Long, but no one would know Han Hu. "Are you brothers?"

Han Bao shook his head: "We are all orphans adopted by Lord Zhou Chong."

Xu Sheng nodded, what a Zhou Chong, how many capable men does he have under his command? "Why did you come to me? Who is this person?"

"I thought it was General Xu Huang, but I didn't think it was you. This person is Mr. Zhang Jiong's old subordinate Zhang Yin, who has been in the city for more than 20 years."

For more than 20 years, Xu Sheng was shocked. It was not easy for a person to lurk in Shouchun for so long. Looking at this person, he looks like an ordinary person. He looks a little dull, and he will not arouse suspicion wherever he is placed.

Han Bao went on to say: "Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, and there was a secret way in his pseudo-imperial palace. Only Yuan Shu and Mr. Zhang Jiong knew that Mr. Zhang left Zhang Yin in Shouchun just for an emergency. !"
