They were from Bingzhou and were forcibly recruited by Li Ru. There were also a few Xiliang Army officers in the army. As long as they joined forces with them, it was possible to welcome the Xiliang Army outside the city into the city. However, after taking a look at the constantly patrolling
Soldiers, this kind of thought can only grow quietly in the heart. There are still many soldiers loyal to Li Ru in the army, who are always monitoring the army and reporting the situation to Li Ru at any time.
The first attack, able to achieve such an effect, gave Jia Rong the feeling that victory was in sight. If the attack continued for half a month, the momentum of the defenders could be completely destroyed, not to mention that the Xiliang army still had weapons such as crossbow vehicles that were not on the field.
.
Outside Pengcheng, Cao Jun's attacks were repeatedly frustrated. They did not have the thunder chariots and well lanterns like the Xiliang Army. The ladder alone made Cao Jun's head a bit heavy, not to mention how much iron was needed to complete an object as huge as the well lantern. However,
The thunderbolt chariot also gave Cao Jun a certain advantage. After all, the thunderbolt chariot was originally proposed by Cao Cao. Compared with the thunderbolt chariots of the princes, it was naturally superior.
The ladder was strong, and the soldiers of Cao's army who boarded the ladder felt more or less at ease. This psychological advantage also allowed them to speed up their attack.
Attacking the city wall again and again, and being repelled again and again, Cao Cao suddenly felt that Guan Yu was not only a military general, but also a wise general. Looking at the entire Cao army, there were probably only a few who could compare with him. He even vaguely suspected that before
Is the side Guan Yu showed just pretending?
In Pengcheng, two major aristocratic families have secretly moved closer to Cao Jun. Cao Cao's day and night siege is just to make Guan Yu overwhelmed. It facilitates the actions of the aristocratic families in the city. The real fatal attack is also the aristocratic families in the city. Any strong city is
When things start to deteriorate from the inside, there will always be people who cherish their lives and status.
Chen Gui, the head of the Chen family, wanted to join Cao Cao when he first attacked Pengcheng. He had sent a letter to Cao Jun. At that time, Cao Cao also promised not to embarrass the Chen family after the city was broken. However, Liu Bei's arrival changed everything and guarded Pengcheng.
, the secret plot between the Chen family and Cao Cao turned into empty talk, Chen Gui was not in a hurry, and let Chen Deng become an official while contacting Cao Jun. He knew that Cao Jun would definitely attack Pengcheng. During this period, the Chen family was even more prepared.
To cultivate one's talents in order to achieve great things, of course, in Xuzhou, it is quite normal, and no one can notice anything wrong with it.
Although Liu Bei governed Xuzhou in an orderly manner, it was not so in Chen Deng's opinion. Without strong soldiers, it was not enough to protect the family's property. The Mi family was so powerful back then, but they were forced to leave. He did not want the Chen family to make the same mistake again.
, if the master of Xuzhou is the Xiliang Army, Chen Gui will definitely ask Chen Deng to try his best to assist in order to bring greater profits to the family. It is true that Jia Rong suppresses the family, but it can provide a safe and fair environment.
He would not do anything to deliberately bully him, he had no ability, he was gradually eliminated, and he had no complaints. Although Jia Rong's previous reputation was not so good in the whole world, under the temper of time, many aristocratic families have done business with Chang'an.
, and found that it was not what was said in the legend.
The family has gotten rid of the rumors circulating in the official circles. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, there are no merchants who have not traded with the Xiliang Army. Even without rare materials such as the Moonlight Cup and Fairy Love, Chang'an will still become the commercial center of the Han Dynasty. The scale has been reached.
No one can replace him in a short time. Chen Gui is a little envious of Mi Zhu's foresight. Looking at the princes in the world, the only one that can make this old man feel at ease is the Xiliang Army, followed by Cao Army. As for Liu Bei, he is just a temporary support object.
.
The Zhao family has moved closer to the Chen family and expressed its willingness to send out thousands of private soldiers to assist in the battle. The Chen family's one thousand private soldiers plus the Zhao family's one thousand will definitely be able to achieve miraculous results when Guan Yu is unprepared, and they can usher in Cao's army in one fell swoop.
In the city, he became a hero of Cao's army.
Jiang is old and hot. After Chen Gui saw Guan Yu's bravery, he was not short-sighted and believed that the mutiny could succeed. The strength of the patrolling soldiers in the city and the unusually tight guarding of the city gates. After many days of observation, Chen Gui
Gui also discovered some changes in the generals guarding the city gates and found patterns in them.
Li Han is a gatekeeper general in Pengcheng. He has a low-level official position in the army. If the war hadn't started, no one in the army would have known about him. He had a wife and children at home, and Li Han also wanted to bring him to the army.
Pengcheng was guarded, but for a small person like him, it was enough to have food and clothing. He guarded the city gate and did not have to worry about Cao Jun outside the city being able to penetrate the wall and kill him directly. He secretly rejoiced at his luck. What was the benefit of becoming a general?
They still have to run on the city wall. If they are unlucky, a stray arrow can take away their lives. In these days, corpses are constantly being carried down from the city wall. The usually high-spirited generals have turned into cold
Corpses still have a great impact on the soul.
"General Li, it's late at night, where are you going?"
After a while, Li Han turned around, mainly because General Li's voice made him uncomfortable. "What's the matter?"
"Someone wants to meet General Li. I wonder if General Li can give him a favor?"
In the dark night, Li Han couldn't see the man's face clearly. He thought to himself that he was just a small gatekeeper general with no more than a hundred troops under his command, so there was no harm in just following him to have a look. It was time to rest anyway.
.
As soon as he stepped into the door with his left foot, Li Han felt that he was so old-fashioned. The layout of the house could be described as magnificent, with unknown furs, expensive tables, and a large table in the middle.
A banquet table was set up, and the dishes on it were all mentioned by Li Han when he was bragging to the military officers. After swallowing hard, Li Han glanced at the room with a sly look, and wanted to step forward regardless of his image.
He ate and drank like crazy, and his cautious nature prevented him from tampering with the food and drinks.
After the man just sent Li Han to the door of this house, he stood outside the door with his hands tied and did not even look inside the house.
"General Li, please sit down quickly!" Chen Gui stood up and said.
Li Han's nerves became a little sluggish. He didn't know what to do for a while. The main reason was that he was too dirty. Entering such a house would undoubtedly be a waste. When Chen Gui pulled him into the house, Li Han was in a daze.
reaction.
Chen Gui looked at Li Han's reaction and felt very confident about the success of the plan.
"General Li, this is wine from Chang'an. Try it and see if it goes into your mouth." Chen Gui said.
The corner of Li Han's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. This is wine. A bottle can be sold for 10,000 yuan. At this time, what floated in Li Han's mind was not wine but piles of rice. With all this money
, How many meals of white steamed buns can I eat? He resisted the urge to take the wine away, picked up the valuable moonlight cup, and put it into his mouth. When he saw it was Chen Gui, the last trace of wariness in his heart turned into
Yunyan, the Chen family is a big family in Xuzhou, so there is no harm in eating him, the worst thing is selling him more than a hundred kilograms of meat.
"General Li?" Chen Gui said.
"Ah!" In excitement, Li Han almost threw away the moonlight cup in his hand.
"What's the matter?" Li Han asked.
"I have heard that General Li is a rare general in the city, and he has done a great job in guarding the city gate. I am deeply gratified and have invited the general to a special banquet today." Chen Gui said with a sincere face.
Li Han was already shocked by the luxurious scene in front of him. He nodded slowly and began to fight with the food on the table. After standing on guard for a day, he was already tired and hungry.
After a long time, Chen Gui saw Li Han consuming all the delicious food on the table, and secretly smacked his lips, "General Li? Are you satisfied with the food?"
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I hope you'll forgive me for my rudeness just now!" Li Han thought of the way he ate just now and felt it was very unsightly. And a person who can invite people to such a meal at will is definitely not an ordinary person.
I can afford to offend him, but I secretly hate myself for being too greedy just now.
"About what time does General Li guard the city gate every day?" Chen Gui got to the point.
"Ugly!" Li Han replied truthfully.
"Ugly time?" Chen Gui muttered secretly, "It was when all the soldiers were sleeping. If we take the opportunity to open the city gate, something big could happen."
"Does General Li know General Cao?" Chen Gui asked.
"General Cao? Your humble position is in Xuzhou. I have long heard of General Cao's reputation. In the past, he led an army to fight against Cao Cao. He was extremely brave." Li Han's face was full of flattery.
"No!" Chen Gui's face straightened. "The General Cao I'm talking about is Cao Cao outside the city, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty."
"Cao Cao? Isn't he going to attack our Pengcheng? Why mention him?" Li Han asked.
Chen Gui was depressed. It was very difficult to talk to these nervous generals, so he simply said directly, "General Li, I just want to help Cao Cao capture Pengcheng. The general is guarding the city gate. I need your cooperation. In case of ugliness, I will
The city gate is open to welcome Cao Jun into the city. I wonder if you have the courage?"
Li Han felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. He didn't dare to think about such a treasonous thing. If he had known it, he wouldn't have eaten this meal. There are many of the more than 100 soldiers under him who are dissatisfied with him. I'm afraid this matter
As soon as the matter is revealed, he will be sent to Guan Yu immediately. Although the position of the gatekeeper general is not high, there are also many people who covet him. There may be many people secretly watching him.
"Sir, this is not good. This kid has no military power and is powerless!" Li Han said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Chen Gui sneered and said: "Why is General Li so timid? You don't know that wealth is gained in danger. How can you get rewards without paying for it? Just like today's meal, you will never earn so much as a gatekeeper general in your life, but as long as you
Cooperate with General Cao and open the city gate, and you can become a general in the army, with fine clothes and fine food, and no need to worry about food and drink. And if you know my secret, how can you leave so easily? General Li can think about it for yourself."
Li Han was stupid and thought about it for a while before he smoothed things over. Chen Gui's words were quite tempting. A gatekeeper general like him could spend his whole life making no progress. His martial arts skills were sparse and could not be taken seriously. However, Chen Gui's
Although the strategy is vicious, it is the fastest way to get to the top.
