Chapter 109
"Brother Yue, there has been a lot of scolding among Nangong's surrendered soldiers these days! Nangong Yu's reputation is extremely bad." Chen Yue, who was lowering his head to study the terrain of Lingzhou, heard Chu Yucheng's voice.
Late at night, oil lamps were placed in the camp for lighting, and the flames on the coal cores kept dancing, illuminating Chenyue's camp.
"As expected." Chen Yue said nonchalantly: "Nangong's soldiers are considered loyal and brave, and they are far more loyal to Nangong Ba than Nangong Yu."
Chu Yucheng pulled up a stool and sat down next to Chen Yue. At this time, he was not wearing a battle armor, only a light white robe. His originally handsome face had become a bit colder since he was in the army, and there was no trace of Yue Lu.
The literati atmosphere brought out by the academy has more and more shadows of Liangzhou soldiers.
"I want you to think about how to conquer Lingzhou. Do you have any ideas? Wear a white robe all day long and stop wandering around in front of me." Chen Yue looked at Chu Yu who was dangling with his legs crossed and he laughed and cursed.
As the siege equipment from the rear has been gradually transported to the front line, Yu Wen Chenghua once again sent military orders to urge the war. Affected by the victory of Lingzhou, Liuzhou also sent troops to the East China Sea again. Yu Wen Chenghua personally led the troops out of the city, hoping to
Having conquered the East China Sea in one fell swoop, Liangzhou soldiers are now stepping up preparations for war and will attack the city soon.
"hey-hey."
A strange laugh came from Chu Yucheng's mouth, with a proud look on his face, and the old god was there, staring straight at Chen Yue without saying a word.
Of course Chen Yue, who had figured out Chu Yucheng's thoughts long ago, could see that he already had a plan, but he was just trying to trick Chen Yue into using it.
Chen Yue laughed secretly in his heart. Naturally, he would not fall into the trap. He made up his mind not to ask this time and would stifle him to death.
Time continued to pass, and the kerosene in the oil lamp became less and less. Chen Yue remained motionless, pretending to look at the map. The smile on Chu Yucheng's face gradually solidified, replaced by an anxious look on his face, and his dangling legs became quiet.
When I got down, I felt as anxious as a cat scratching my head.
"Brother Yue!" Chu Yucheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "There are only two of us here. If you don't ask, I will be very embarrassed!"
Chen Yue laughed loudly in the tent, laughing so hard that he couldn't stand up. Seeing Chu Yucheng's angry expression, Chen Yue suppressed his smile and asked: "General Chu, do you have any clever plan to break the city? Please hurry up."
Come on, I’m all ears!”
After saying that, he laughed again.
Chu Yucheng saw that Chen Yue finally spoke. Although he was pretending, he had regained some face. Facing Chen Yue's smile, Chu Yucheng ignored him and straightened his white robes to mind his own business.
Said: "Many of Nangong's soldiers are familiar with city defense. With their hatred for Nangong Yu, if we can persuade some people to sneak into the city and cooperate inside and outside, it should be much easier to break the city."
Chenyue put away his smile, started pacing around the camp with his hands behind his back, and asked hesitantly: "Are you sure? After all, he is a soldier of the Nangong family."
If the surrendered soldiers were released, and the Liangzhou army was attracted into a trap, it would be a waste of money.
"I have observed it secretly in the past two days and talked to a few people. I can't say it is foolproof, but I am still certain." Chu Yucheng replied.
According to Chu Yucheng's habit, everything is planned before taking action. Now that he has said it, it means that the details have been considered.
"Okay!" Chen Yue nodded in agreement: "Then call those people over now and let's make a plan."
After a while, several people wearing Nangong military uniforms were brought in by the guards. These people were all demoted to higher-ranking officials. The highest one was already a commander. Chu Yucheng felt that he was the most reliable after observing these days.
Yes, several people had anger on their faces.
After several people entered the barracks, they bowed slightly and saluted, and stood aside, which seemed a bit neither humble nor overbearing.
"Everyone, I won't beat around the bush. I deeply regret the death of General Nangong Ba, but the deceased is gone. Now we should first bring the patricide and traitor to justice. I wonder if you are willing to help me!" Chen Chen
Yue didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point.
Several people were stunned. Chu Yucheng had already talked to them several times and probably had some idea in mind, but they didn't expect Chen Yue to be so straightforward.
Several people looked at each other, and the captain named Yu Jin was the first to speak: "As long as I can avenge General Nangong, I am willing to do anything, but I don't know how we can cooperate?"
When Yu Jin first joined the Nangong Guards, because of his outstanding performance, he was transferred to the most elite Nangong Guards as a Centurion. Later, Nangong Yu took over the military power and promoted him to a Thousand Commander. He was originally grateful.
After Yu Jin heard the news that Nangong Yu had killed his father, he was so angry that he fainted on the spot. When he woke up, he was filled with regret and sighed that he was ashamed of himself to General Nangong.
Chenyue was also quite surprised at Yu Jin's cheerfulness, and turned to look at Chu Yucheng, who was standing with his hands behind his back with a confident look on his face.
Chu Yucheng took over: "I need some of you to sneak into the city as internal agents. When the army attacks the city in three to five days, it would be better if you can open the city gate directly. If not, try to create chaos in the city!"
A person behind Yu Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "We're just going back like this, I'm afraid they won't trust us."
Everyone nodded. Now that the army was surrounding the city, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared and said they had escaped from the Liang Army camp. No matter how stupid the Lingzhou defenders were, they would not believe it.
"Don't worry, I have a countermeasure." Chu Yucheng said with a smile: "The day after you enter the city, our army will pretend to attack the east gate. You can reveal this news to Nangong Yu in exchange for trust. Besides, you were not Nangong Tie before.
Wei, Nangong Yu should still trust you."
Seeing Chu Yucheng's eyes on him, Yu Jin nodded, feeling that this method was not bad and could at least dispel some of Nangong Yu's doubts.
"In addition, you may have to suffer some physical pain." Chu Yucheng shook his head in embarrassment.
Yu Jin and others were stunned for a moment, and then nodded fiercely at the same time.
"Everyone, please think clearly. Once you enter Lingzhou City, you will be surrounded by dangers. If you have any difficulties, I, Chen Yue, will never force you." Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Chen Yue reminded with a little worry.
Several people's hearts warmed up, and they cupped their fists and shouted: "General, don't worry!"
"Then it's settled, we'll start the operation late at night tomorrow. Remember, you can't all go. If there are too many, it might arouse their fear. Plus ordinary soldiers, a few hundred people at most will be enough." Chu Yucheng reminded again.
Then they talked about some specific details, including how they escaped from Liang Jun's camp, what movements they saw in Liang Jun's camp, etc., to prevent Nangong Yu from asking too detailed questions.
