The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 235

Desolate, chilling, silent, messy and bloody war. Under the setting sun, the river in the distance is like a curved ribbon, the mountains are undulating, the south wind is howling, the sun is dim, the weeds bow their heads, and tigers, leopards and wolves, smelling blood, run out of the mountains one after another. , gnawing on the corpses of dead warriors, and sucking their bone marrow.The clouds are gloomy, and the corpses are everywhere.The gloomy breath of hell rushed to Li Yan's face.He had smelled this kind of breath countless times in his life's battles, and it was more tragic than this time everywhere.But since witnessing Zhao Zilong's power.His tyrannical heart trembled.

Although a little trembling, Li Yan still had to pretend.He won't surrender unconditionally, that's not in his character.

Yamen general Wang Chong, partial general Li Sheng, and counselor Chen Zhen came to Li Yan's room together.

Li Sheng just came back from inquiring about news from Zhu Ti.Knowing that Uncle Liu's army was held back by General Yuan Junxiao, Gan Ning, Li Dian and others, he couldn't come for a while.Come back in a hurry to report.But after Li Sheng entered the city, he suddenly changed his mind, turned a corner, and met Wang Chong first. The purpose was very clear. Liu Bei couldn't come, and Chengdu didn't send reinforcements. What should we do?Wang Chong's calculation is the most accurate.He had already prepared for the worst, and even wanted to climb the city and surrender, but he didn't want to be talked about.Hearing what Li Sheng said, he knew that he also wanted to surrender to Yuan Bing.Then he put the shit bowl on Li Sheng's head: "Old Li, you mean to surrender Yuan Bing. No, Chen Zhen and Li Taishou are definitely not willing." Chen Zhen joined the army under Qianwei.

Li Sheng was noncommittal, but said something else to him: "I heard outside that Luocheng cannot be kept, and it will definitely fall in two days at most. The King of Shu has sent Xu Jing to the Yuan Army's headquarters to meet with Prime Minister Yuan Xi and discuss surrender. It's gone." Li Sheng talked nonsense.

Wang Chong wasn't surprised, but said flatly, "Fucking shit, you only care about yourself. If you don't tell me, I don't know. Qianwei is only two hundred miles away from Chengdu, yet no one greets you. It's a scam." Li Sheng said frankly. Said: "Old Wang, surrender. Now you can get a high-ranking official to do it. It's too late, and the benefits will be taken away by others. I heard that the king of Shu sent Zhuo Ying and Xiang Cun to lead [-] troops to rescue Luocheng. The two of them directly pulled the team to Yuan Jun's barracks and surrendered to the enemy. Now, Zhuo Ying seems to be Liehou, General Zhengqi. Xiang Cun is even more powerful. , if you take this opportunity to make a fortune, I'm afraid you will be a general or a general in this life, are you willing?"

Wang Chong was moved by Li Sheng's words. He tapped the table lightly with the middle finger of his right hand, and repeated without thinking: "Surrender." His tone seemed calm, neither enthusiastic nor unrestrained tension, nor timid and helpless .Li Sheng felt that he had hit cotton with his fist, emotionally dissatisfied with his tepid attitude, and continued to incite: "You have been clamoring for a long time to ride the wind and waves and make achievements, and now the great opportunity is here In front of you. I heard that your tone is not sharp at all."

Wang Chong concealed his emotions and remained calm: "Don't look at the kung fu if you don't cut your strength. I'm worried about Chen Zhen and Li Taishou. It's useless if we scare you." Then Introduced to Li Sheng the unknown situation of the city defense recently.

Wang Chong's troops were not in charge of defending the city. Li Yan gave him 3 troops to garrison at Guguanyukou in the city.The [-] troops under Li Sheng's original command have been transferred to protect everyone's family members.The remaining [-] people.Li Yan defended the city with [-] troops.There is still [-] in Chen Zhen's hands.

Chen Zhen is a man who hides his secrets.

Wang Chong shook his head; "We can't say for sure about that person. He is Li Taishou's hard-core confidant, and I'm afraid there is only [-]% chance of surrender." Li Sheng couldn't wait to ask: "Where do you think Li Yan is standing?" Wang Chong smiled wryly. After a while, he shook his head frankly: "It's hard to say." In terms of the specific method of planning the surrender, the two coincided with each other. In fact, this was based on the actual situation and there was no way to choose.Li Shengdao: "Let's have a showdown with Chen Zhen first. If he is willing, nothing will happen. If he is not willing, he will be dealt with. He is a civil servant, and he can't stand half-way tricks."

Wang Chong added to this plan: "If Chen Zhen agrees to surrender, then Li Yan will be fine. If it doesn't make sense, we'll get rid of him and Li Yan immediately. Otherwise, our lives will be lost." After speaking, he stood up and stood up. Come; "I'm going to find Chen Zhen, it's not too late. You go and gather a hundred swordsmen and ambushes in my house. If it doesn't make sense, don't say anything, and cut off the head of the idiot."

No guilt at all.To betray a warlord and surrender to the central government is as logical as a woman giving birth to a child.Li Sheng lay on the comfortable couch in Wang Chong's house, and fell asleep happily.His body was extremely tired, but his heart was surging like a tide. He knew that today would determine his life.Get promoted and get rich, seal your wife and son; or die?
Li Sheng heard the sound of his boots stamping on the ground, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Chen Zhen with a fair complexion in military uniform standing beside Wang Chong.Chen Zhen also saw him, he was pulled down from the tower by Wang Chong, and he didn't bother to change his clothes.

The sound of Gaden, Gaden's combat boots stopped abruptly the moment the door was opened.Chen Zhen pushed the door open and came in. Standing inside the door, he could no longer lift his feet, and his face turned yellow suddenly.The development of the matter was exactly in line with the two people's previous speculations, and Chen Zhen easily chose the best ending.As soon as Chen Zhen saw Li Sheng, he knew something was wrong. He was a superbly intelligent man who had read poetry and books since he was a child, and he had a lot of ghost ideas in his stomach.Li Yan sent Li Sheng out to find out the news, but Li Sheng ran all the way back, but he didn't go to see the prefect, but hid in Wang Chong's house, and even tricked himself into coming here.At this severe moment of life and death, even a fool can guess what he wants to do! !
Chen Zhen's body seemed to be fixed at the door by acupuncture points.Throat rumbled dryly.

Li Sheng turned over, jumped up from the couch, and walked to the door: "Mr. Chen, are you satisfied with joining the army? Do you want to move your nest and move up a step?" Chen Zhen seemed to have been hit by an awl, his body shaking violently After a while, his sallow face turned red in an instant, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I understand what you two asked me to come, and I also understand the situation." Then he held Li Sheng's hand; "Actually, I've been thinking about this all day today, I really didn't expect you to come back so soon, it's great that you came!" Chen Zhen knew that his life was only in a blink of an eye, and further sincerely confirmed: "Actually, I came here I came here to discuss this matter with Brother Wang Chong. We can't go all the way. Prime Minister Yuan may not be worse than Liu Bei. Whoever surrenders is not surrender." Wang Chong was overjoyed, neither he nor Li Sheng had thought of it. With Chen Zhen's cooperation, the matter was settled without the two of them saying a word.The three people reached a tacit understanding with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Chen Zhen even expressed his dissatisfaction: "Let's open the skylight to speak plainly. You have ambushed swordsmen in the yard, are you going to deal with me? I knew it a long time ago. I'm not angry. This is a terrible thing. Let it go." You have to be careful with anyone you touch. What makes me angry is, Lao Li, you and I have known each other for almost ten years, but you can't trust me for such a big matter, you should tell Wang Chong first, and then tell me, that is Then I will be an outsider, or I will be looked down upon." Li Sheng was at a loss for words.

Wang Chong smoothed things over with a smile: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, in fact, we only talked a few words, we haven't said anything concrete yet." Li Sheng smiled wryly: "If I tell Wang Chong in the end, then he will say it too, you just said What you said, isn't it?" The three laughed.I thought in my heart that the person who knows the current affairs is a hero, so let him do it.Li Sheng said: "Let's discuss the matter of surrender now." Chen Zhen smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with this matter. Li Yan and I will switch defenses tonight. My soldiers are defending the city. Your soldiers, Li Sheng, are protecting the prefect's mansion and all the officials. Send troops to arrest Li Yan before we talk about it." Wang Chong said: "You let your subordinates jam the city gate, you must not let the news out, and you must persist until dawn."

"Arrange first, let's go to see Li Yan, courtesy first, then soldiers?"

Li Yan blinked suspiciously when he saw Wang Chong and Chen Zhen coming in together.It is already the third watch at this moment, and he has already fallen asleep. At this time, he wakes up and wonders what's going on?And Chen Zhen should be on top of the city. ?
"Is there something important, you two come here together?"

Chen Zhen said bluntly: "My lord, Chengdu is about to end, let's surrender." Wang Chong said coldly, "It is to surrender to Prime Minister Yuan."

Li Yan opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, his face was covered with sweat, and he blinked twice: "I heard that Li Sheng has returned, right?"

"I'm back." Li Sheng agreed from outside the door, and broke in from the outside, holding a person in his hand.The man was knocked unconscious and thrown to the ground like a sheaf of wheat.That was Li Yan's lieutenant, Wu Can.Li Yan had just thought about relying on Wu Can to turn defeat into victory, but he didn't expect him to strike first.Li Sheng said: "Lord Li, surrender."

Li Yan's eyes widened: "I am the prefect, and the surrender must be in my name, otherwise, I will not obey." Chen Zhen heaved a sigh of relief: "Okay, the first merit is of course your lord's."

Early the next morning, a white flag was erected on the top of the city.When Yu Jin was on a horseback patrol, he saw it from a distance, and immediately went to see Zhang He and Zhao Yun: "The white flag is hanging on the top of the city, have you surrendered?" Zhao Yun and Zhang He stood up excitedly, and someone reported outside the door: "Qianwei joined the army and Chen See you Zhen, saying that you are here to present the letter of surrender."

"Quick, please." Zhao Yun rushed to the door.

The battle in Luocheng was on the fourth day, and the deadline for the military order was approaching.Zhang Ren is really difficult to deal with.Liu Zhang sent his son Liu Xun to lead [-] troops to the city to supervise the army, and another general Fu Chu led [-] troops to set up a camp on the road outside the city and form a corner with Luocheng to resist Yuan soldiers.

Wen Chou and Zhang Xiu had fought against Zhang Ren respectively.Wen Chou's camp was in the north, near the Fu River, so Zhang Ren planned to send Wu Lan to lead the army to dig the river channel and flood Dazhai.As a result, Wen Chou's army suffered heavy losses and retreated fifty miles to camp.Zhang Xiu fought against Zhang Ren before the battle, and was caught in a trick to lure the enemy, and was almost beheaded by Wu Lanlei, Tong Zhang Renkui and four others.

Guo Jia took the geography map drawn by Zhang Song and looked at it all night. In the morning, he called Wang Ping to ask: "In the picture here, there is a road in the north of the mountain that can attack the east gate, and there is a road in the south of the mountain that can attack the west gate. I don't know if the terrain is flat. "Wang Ping said: "The main road is flat, but the small road is very difficult to walk. Generally, no one will pass there."

Guo Jia said: "Go see the prime minister." "

As soon as I saw Guo Jia come in, I knew he had thought of a plan to destroy Zhang Ren.Hastily asked: "Is there a way?" Guo Jia said: "Thanks to Zhang Ren's map. I have a plan to catch Zhang Ren." To come up with Pang Tong's death plan.Feng Xiao, you must not commit suicide!
"Prime Minister, look, there is a big mountain in front of our military camp, and Luocheng is just across the mountain. There are two mountain roads, one big and one small, that can enter the city. The general of Shu, who helped Chu, has already led his troops to the village, blocking the road. We just need to go. path."

Is it really this strategy?I hurriedly stopped: "Since this is the only way to go, the enemy must be prepared, so we still don't go."

Guo Jia said with a sly smile, "Go, you must go. Jia has concluded that there must be an ambush on the path, and it must be Zhang Ren himself."

"how do you know."

Guo Jiadao: "It's very simple. Zhang Ren has always advocated the offensive. A few days ago, he went out of the city to rob the camp every day, and he never idled for a moment. But since Liu Xun came to the front of the army, Luocheng's strategy immediately became passive defense. Shrink the troops, fortify the wall and clear the field. , not to send a single soldier to fight. I guess, Zhang Ren and Liu Xun have disagreements on the military. If Zhang Ren suggested to Liu Xun to set up an ambush on a small road, Liu Xun would definitely take this opportunity to drive away this thorn in his side. "

My heart moved, Guo Jia's gaze was superior to Feng Chu's after all.Or, Pang Tong was competing with Zhuge Liang back then, and he was too eager for quick success.Guo Jiadao: "If Zhang Ren doesn't set up an ambush on the small road, I can't do anything about him. If he goes, I won't even think about going back to Luocheng."

I resolutely said: "He will definitely go. Moreover, I guess, he will ambush at Luofengpo." Guo Jia laughed and said: "We both agree. I have already sent Pei Bao to explore the terrain. Luofengpo here has steep mountains and dense trees, there is a way in but no way out, and it is highly concealed. Those who are good at using soldiers will lie in ambush here. We will capture Zhang Ren alive here."

I said: "The road is narrow, the enemy is waiting for work, how to catch it." Guo Jia said: "Lend me your precious iron stupa, and guarantee that Zhang Ren will die without a place to bury him." I froze for a moment, shook my head and said: "No—— —" Guo Jia jumped up and said, "Why?"

"Because the Iron Buddha has flaws, it is most afraid of fire attack. It is invincible in battle on the plains, but it is very dangerous once it enters the mountains."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Jia thought about it a long time ago. Don't worry about this. Zhang Ren would not dare to set fire. The vegetation there is too dense. If you set fire to it, run slowly, and even yourself will be burned to death. I guess he will Make a cold shot." I worried: "You can't go, I'll send Wen Chou and Zhang Xiu." Guo Jia said strangely: "Who said I'm going? Who said, stand up for me? I'm a civil servant, this kind of thing to do Don't come." This attitude is much stronger than that of Pang Tong.

After Wen Chou and Zhang Xiu received the order, they made meals in the second shift and marched out in the third shift. Zhang Xiu acted as the vanguard, and Wen Chou was in the middle of the army.To be on the safe side, everyone chooses dark horses.Not even a single white hair.There are not many people and horses, a total of [-] iron Buddhas, [-] each for the front and rear troops.With black lights and blind lights, the former army only lit a torch and groped forward.
