That night, Sima Yi asked someone to bring Xu Shu over again and asked, "Brother Yuanzhi, what do you think?"
Xu Shu said: "I have thought carefully about what you said for a long time, and I think you are right. I have always been foolish and loyal before, but now I understand the principle of a good minister choosing his master. So, I decided to persuade Xun Yu
, let him surrender in Kaicheng."
"Very good, Brother Yuanzhi has made a great contribution to the great cause of unification. After this is accomplished, I will recommend you to be a high-ranking official, and the emperor will definitely look at you differently." Sima Yi said with a smile, "Then what will Brother Yuanzhi prepare?
When is the time to go to Chengdu?”
"The faster, the better. It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun, let's do it tonight." Xu Shu said.
"Well, okay, then I'll send someone to take you to the city."
After that, Sima Yi sent people to send Xu Shu to the city of Chengdu. Xu Shu opened the city gate and announced his home. The guard in the city immediately went to inform Xun Yu. Xun Yu personally came to the city tower to watch, and saw that it was Xu Shu standing outside the city.
, he lowered the suspension bridge, opened the side door, and welcomed Xu Shu into the city of Chengdu.
When Xun Yu and Xu Shu met each other twice, they both felt depressed. While reminiscing about old times, they walked into the inner city.
In the Wei State, Xun Yu and Xu Shu were Cao Cao's right-hand men.
Yu and Yu coordinated with each other and jointly maintained the power of Wei State. There was never any overstep, and the two of them complemented each other in their work.
At this time, Xun Yu and Xu Shu met again, and naturally they were filled with emotion.
After entering the inner city, Xun Yu asked directly: "The Chinese army has been spreading the news of His Majesty's death. You are from outside. Is this true?"
Xu Shu shed tears and said in a sob: "This is absolutely true. Your Majesty was buried in Hanzhong, Pang Tong surrendered to the Huaxia Kingdom, General Suo and General Xiahou all died for the country. Prime Minister, Chengdu has become a city
Lonely city, I wonder what the Prime Minister wants?"
After Xun Yu heard this, he burst into tears and kept shouting Cao Cao's name. He and Xu Shu held their heads and cried together.
After crying for a long time, the two of them stopped grieving. Xun Yu said slowly: "Now Chengdu is facing great danger. The Huya General Gan Ning of China is leading the navy to go up the Shuo River to attack
With Zhuge Liang as military advisor, King Guangyang and his 20,000 soldiers were completely wiped out. Those who died died and those who surrendered surrendered. If King Haiyang hadn't led his troops back in time and blocked Gan Ning in Qianwei, Chengdu would have been invaded long ago.
The city is under attack. Now Chengdu is in danger. Even if there are enough food and weapons in the city, it is still unknown how long it can last in the face of the powerful Chinese army. The strength of Huayin Pass is obvious to all, but it was defeated by the Huaxia Kingdom in three days.
Take it. This kind of speed in attacking the city far exceeds that of our army. Now there are not many generals in the city. I can't do it alone. It's not as good as us..."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister!" Xu Shu immediately interrupted Xun Yu, fearing that Xun Yu would say those words, "Your Majesty has treated me well, why can't you give it a last try now? The reason why the Chinese army can attack cities and lands so quickly is that
Because the Chinese army has something that no other country has, and that is
Explosives. The power of explosives is amazing. I once saw with my own eyes in Jicheng that all 140,000 Qiang people were wiped out overnight, and Jicheng was also razed to the ground. It is precisely because of such amazing power.
, the Chinese army is invincible in any battle. However, I have a strategy that can make the Chinese army come back defeated."
After hearing this, Xun Yu hurriedly asked: "What's the plan?"
"I pretended to surrender to the Chinese army, defrauded Sima Yi's trust, and found out where Sima Yi's army hid the explosives. As long as we put on a good show, we can get all the explosives into our hands and use them in China
On the army."
Xun Yu asked: "Is this really feasible?"
"Well, I made it myself. If it had been one day later and Sima Yi's army had arrived, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible to implement it. Sima Yi only has more than 5,000 people now, which is the most advantageous time for our army." Xu Shu was confident.
Said all over the place.
Xun Yu said: "Okay then, I am willing to listen."
Xu Shu smiled and immediately told his plan.
After hearing this, Xun Yu said suspiciously: "Isn't this too risky? If Sima Yi is cheating, wouldn't our army lose the rice by stealing the chicken?"
"No, the battle between Sima Yi and Pang Tong for the position of general has already spread in the army. The top priority now is to quickly send a letter to King Haiyang, asking him to withdraw to Chengdu, and then release Gan Ning and others to use Huaxia
In the heart of competing for credit among countries, they will resort to tricks."
Xun Yu thought for a while and said cautiously: "In order to avoid accidents, it is better to get the Chinese army's explosives first and then send a letter to King Haiyang. If we make a mistake, we will have room for maneuver."
Xu Shu said: "Well, okay, this is not a conflict. Then please arrange it with the Prime Minister. I will leave the city right away and tell Sima Yi that the Prime Minister has agreed to surrender to Kaicheng."
Xun Yu said: "Why not during the day?"
"How can we make a detour during the day? It's hard to tell at night. When Sima Yi doesn't suspect me, our army can sneak attack the Chinese army." Xu Shu explained.
"Okay, then I'll do what you want."
After the two people discussed, Xun Yu immediately called four generals and arranged everything according to Xu Shu's plan. Xu Shu left Chengdu and returned to Sima Yi's army.
After Sima Yi heard the news that Xu Shu was back, he was surprised and immediately exclaimed: "How did this guy come back so fast?"
After his men brought Xu Shu over, Sima Yi greeted him with a smile and asked: "Brother Yuanzhi, you come and go in such a hurry, could it be that you didn't convince Xun Yu?"
"On the contrary, Xun Yu had already intended to surrender. After listening to my words of encouragement, he became more confident. Xun Wenruo has always been a kind-hearted man and was unwilling to see the people suffer, so when he heard that the general was going to use explosives to deceive the city, he
Decided to surrender. However, some of his subordinates were still unwilling, but that was not the case.
is the problem. Now Xun Yu has opened the north gate and is just waiting for the general to lead the army into the city. Then he has to use the general's hand to pacify the Wei generals. Xun Yu sincerely agrees. If the general enters Chengdu City, it will be a great achievement.
One thing. I want to congratulate and congratulate the general first." Xu Shu said.
Sima Yi laughed and said: "If I succeed, when I enter Chengdu, I will definitely speak well of you in front of the emperor."
"Here comes someone." Sima Yi shouted happily.
"What are your orders, general?"
"Quickly pass the order, assemble a thousand cavalry, and go with me to the gates of Chengdu to accept the other side's surrender!"
"promise!"
Afterwards, Sima Yi took Wu Yi, Wu Ban and a thousand cavalry, and Xu Shu quickly arrived outside the north gate of Chengdu City. When he saw the lights at the north gate, the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate was wide open, Xun Yu
He led the crowd and stood there waiting, everything was extremely calm.
Xun Yu led his men forward to Sima Yi, cupped his fists and said, "Xun Wenruo, Prime Minister of the State of Wei, pays homage to General Sima."
Sima Yi smiled on his face and nodded with satisfaction. He turned to look at Xu Shu, who was also proud of himself. He raised the whip in his hand, waved it forward, and shouted: "Tied!"
As soon as he said this, Wu Yi and Wu Ban quickly led people to kill the people Xun Yu brought, and then tied Xun Yu up. This scene shocked both Xun Yu and Xu Shu.
Xu Shu hurriedly shouted: "General, Xun Yu sincerely surrendered. Isn't it unethical for General to do this?"
Sima Yi sneered at Xu Shu twice, raised his whip, and shouted directly: "Tie Xu Yuanzhi too."
The soldiers immediately pulled Xu Shu off his horse and tied him up on the spot. Xu Shu shouted: "I am not guilty, why are you tying me up?"
Sima Yi ignored Xu Shu and directly led his men to retreat together with Xun Yu and Xu Shu. Wu Yi led his army to resist the people rushing out of the city. Sima Yi loudly ordered: "Send a signal to Zhang Xiu."
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately blew the horn. Zhang Xiu, who had already been ambushing the east gate, led his men to launch an attack on Chengdu City. He first used explosives to blow open the city gate, and then led the cavalry directly into the city.
Inside the city, Yang Huai, Meng Da and others completely obeyed Zhang Xiu's orders and went to occupy the remaining two city gates.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu came out of the city and teamed up with Wu Yi to seize the north gate. Sima Yi and others entered the city directly and quickly sealed the four gates.
At the same time, the four generals sent by Xun Yu and 28,000 soldiers also detoured back to the Chinese army's camp and attacked the Chinese army's rear. However, after entering the camp, they found that the camp was empty.
Everyone wanted to retreat, but the Chinese army commanded by Pang Tong and Huang Quan detonated explosives, causing a rumble in the entire camp.
The Wei army was frightened and fled away one after another. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by Chinese troops. It was difficult to distinguish the number of enemy troops in the dark. When everyone was frightened, they expressed their willingness to surrender.
The entire battle lasted less than an hour. More than 25,000 Wei soldiers were captured and more than 4,000 were killed. Pang Tong and Huang Quan also led the prisoners into Chengdu.
Sima Yi was still waiting on the tower of the north gate. He turned to look at the captured Xun Yu and Xu Shu, and said to Xu Shu: "Do you know that in addition to having explosives, our Chinese army also has superior wisdom? Do you think I really
Do you believe that you can persuade Xun Yu to surrender? Also, our Chinese army has already
I have arrived in the evening, I just didn’t let you see it, and I have already arranged everything. If it were during the day, maybe I would have made some mistakes. Unfortunately, you were too eager to get it done, so you chose night
Come and attack my camp, which just reduces my losses."
Xu Shu said shamefully: "It turns out that all this is a trap set by you..."
"No! It should be said that it was a game set up by Pang Shiyuan and I. This was the result of the two of us discussing it together. Now, you two are finally convinced that we lost, right?"
