Chapter 42 Zhongzhou City Changes Hands
As Zhao Fu gave the order, the Iron-armed Army soldiers who followed the secret passage and immediately took action. Facing the people in front of him who had no ability to resist at all, they were evil tigers and quickly controlled everyone.
"No! This is impossible! Who are you? You are not Zhao Qian!" Zhao Yang yelled. At this moment, his body was firmly tied up by ropes, and only his mouth could move freely.
"Noisy! So stupid. Have you forgotten your Luyuan City, which has no defense at all?" Zhao Qian asked.
"You mean... you didn't fight Mustard City? Instead... you borrowed from Luyuan City?" Zhao Yang's mind turned around.
"Are you not a fool at all?" Zhao Qian said with a sarcastic smile.
"How is that possible? It shouldn't be. Since you see the emptiness of Luyuan City, how could you let it go?" Zhao Yang asked with reluctance. He still didn't believe that the people who appeared in front of him were borrowed from Luyuan City.
Zhao Yang deliberately did not arrange too many defenders in Luyuan City. It was also for this reason that Luyuan City was larger than Jiulian City and had a lot of wealth. What he wanted was this kind of emptiness and easy success. Moreover, Luyuan City was in the middle of Bailan City and Jicheng. Once Luyuan City warned, the troops stationed on the three-city defense line would concentrate on Luyuan City as quickly as possible.
Therefore, although it seems that Luyuan City’s garrison is empty and it is absolutely easy to attack and difficult to defend, it is actually a trap on the defense line of the three cities. Once it falls into it, it will be doomed.
This is Zhao Yang's plan that he thought was seamless, but he didn't expect that Zhao Fu would not take his tricks at all.
"Don't treat everyone as fools. If you take Zhongzhou City, will it be ours sooner or later?" This time, Zhao Fu replied in person.
Indeed, if another general with a weak will lead a soldier, he might really eat Luyuan City first. After all, Luyuan City is also an old city in Zhongzhou, with tens of millions of wealth contained in it.
But who is Zhao Fu? He has always been extremely strict with his own control. After learning that Zhao Xiyuan died, he didn't care about a moment of rest and took the troops to set off at night, just to catch a little time.
And undoubtedly, bypassing Luyuan City is the most urgent way to do it.
Of course, Zhao Yang didn't know that Zhao Fu could do so firmly and resolutely.
"What about Mustard City? What's going on Mustard City?" Zhao Yang still refused to believe this desperate fact.
"Oh, the troops are just divided into two groups." Zhao Qian rushed to answer: "Who made you so stupid? You don't even find out the information clearly."
"How is it possible! Your troops are so small, how can you... No, how did you come in Zhongzhou City!" Zhao Yang discovered the biggest blind spot in the whole matter.
If the matter is really as Zhao Qian said, it is because Zhao Fu and his team divided into two groups and created signs of feint attacks in Jiecheng to attract attention, then how about Zhongzhou City, where can they have more troops to attack Zhongzhou City?
Zhao Fu has to admit that Zhao Qian is right. These heirs from the Zhao family are really not even able to fight. Not to mention the city defense of Zhongzhou City, which has no vigilance at all, even if it is not a strong attack, as long as you dress up as ordinary people or merchants in batches, you can successfully sneak in. Furthermore, tonight, Zhongzhou City is in chaos, and Zhao Mansion has also become the focus of the chaos. Because Zhao Mansion's unique position in Zhongzhou City, the soldiers in the city dare not neglect and flock to Zhao Mansion. It can be said that Zhongzhou City is now self-defeating, and the other party has not noticed this situation at all.
The battlefield is ever-changing and it will never develop according to the expected situation. Therefore, Zhao Fu will calculate various different strategies in his mind every time. Don’t you see that Zhao Fu’s calculations in his mind have calculated the situation in front of him this time. However, Zhao Yang only thought of one plan and determined that the development of things will definitely follow his expectations.
This is really, I don’t know if it’s better to say it’s naive or confident.
It’s a pity that there is no standard answer on the changes in the battlefield.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, just say, what happened?" Zhao Fu was too lazy to deal with Zhao Yang's question, so he asked directly.
"I..." Zhao Yang was still hesitating.
"Speak, or talk about it after suffering." Zhao Fu didn't want to talk nonsense to such people. He just wanted to know what was going on now.
Zhao Fu was actually confused. He had worked hard to investigate the enemy situation, formulated a plan to infiltrate, and went through a lot of effort to sneak into Zhongzhou City, and everything was extremely perfect. Unexpectedly, not long after he sneaked in, Zhongzhou City became chaotic, and the entire east of the city was shining into the sky, and a large number of defenders left their posts, making Zhao Fu and others not sure whether they should be happy or smile bitterly.
Zhao Fu only knew that there was a fire in the east of the city, but he didn't know the reason. He thought that Zhao Yang, the person involved, must know better than him.
Zhao Yang watched Zhao Fu slowly pull out his knife, quickly swallowed, and said, "It's all about my business, Long Shouyi did it!"
As Zhao Yang revealed the whole story without any backbone, even the part that he asked Gu Tong to assassinate Long Shouyi was not left behind. Zhao Fu finally understood what this was, it turned out to be a civil strife in the Zhao family.
However, Zhao Fu's mouth twitched. They were too good at choosing time for civil strife?
Then Zhao Fu remembered the letter of surrender from Long Shouyi that he had received before, and his expression was even more wonderful. Of course, he could guess what Long Shouyi was thinking about such a blow, and now his wish is about to fail.
After a long time, Long Shouyi looked at the Zhao Mansion, which had been completely burned to ruins. After confirming that there should be no survivors in it, he began to send his men to put out the fire at least on the surface, if he wanted to master this Zhongzhou City.
Of course, in name, they are fire-fighting and people saving, but in fact they are fire-fighting and people extinguishing. Especially once the two young masters of the Zhao family are discovered, they should be eradicated immediately and must not leave any living mouths.
At least now the one who knows the whole story is the two young masters of the Zhao family, and Long Shouyi himself. As long as the two young masters die, the final explanation will completely fall into Long Shouyi's hands.
"Report to the general, there are no living people in the courtyard." Soon, a fast horse ran out of the ruins of the Zhao Mansion, and his subordinates immediately reported.
