Many soldiers were talking quietly, discussing what Wang Can said about Liu Bang.
In the eyes of the soldiers, Liu Bang was lofty and the king of the world. He was extremely mysterious and awe-inspiring. But Wang Can's words overturned Liu Bang, dispelled the fog in front of the soldiers, and let every soldier know Liu Bang's character and personality.
Nature.
This situation caused military morale to fluctuate.
When Liu Bang saw the discussion of the soldiers on the tower, he was also furious.
Damn Wang Can.
This Wang Can is really hateful.
At this time, Liu Bang also felt extremely difficult.
In the last life, when he faced Xiang Yu, he only needed a few words to provoke Xiang Yu, and to make Xiang Yu jump to the point of being at his mercy.
Now, he has become a puppet in Wang Can's hands.
He could not control Wang Can. On the contrary, Wang Can controlled him and made him lose face.
Damn it!
Liu Bang cursed again in his heart.
Liu Bang looked around and shouted loudly: "Quiet!"
As Liu Bang shouted, the discussion of the soldiers on the tower gradually subsided.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada.
Liu Bang was obviously angry. At this time, Liu Bang was offended. If Liu Bang got angry, it would be over. Every soldier stopped talking, and then the tower became quiet.
Liu Bang ignored Wang Can's words. It was really difficult for him to refute.
Wang Can said he was scared.
Liu Bang looked at Xiao He who was standing aside and said, "Prime Minister, Wang Can is scolding outside the city. What should we do?"
Xiao He said: "Your Majesty, we can only ignore it."
"Asshole!"
When Liu Bang heard Xiao He's answer, he was so angry that he punched the city wall hard. He was really unwilling to let Wang Can accuse him like this. His heart was filled with endless anger, but there was no place to vent it.
Zhang Liang advised: "Your Majesty, Wang Can's purpose is to make you angry and make you angry. If you become extremely angry because of Wang Can's words, then you have fallen into Wang Can's scheme."
"That's true!"
Liu Bang nodded.
Although he answered, he was still angry.
Xiao He advised again: "Your Majesty, let Wang Can be arrogant now. When Li Tang's army arrives, we will attack Wang Can from a flank and defeat him. Then we will see how arrogant Wang Can is."
"Okay, just wait a moment."
Liu Bang nodded solemnly.
Under the current situation, Liu Bang was helpless.
Wang Can rode his horse and stood outside the city. Seeing that Liu Bang was silent on the city tower, he said again: "Liu Bang, why are you silent? It's surprising that you are like this. A rogue, he didn't speak, he couldn't bear to say anything. Liu Bang!
Liu Bang, I look down on you. After all, you are the first person to become an emperor from a commoner. It is so disappointing to have such little courage and such magnanimity."
Liu Bang snorted, flicked his sleeves, looked at Xia Houying and said: "Xia Houying, you are fully responsible for everything on the tower. I'm going to rest for a while. If there's no war, don't disturb me."
"Here!"
Xia Houying responded with clasped fists.
Seeing Liu Bang leaving at this moment, Xia Houying breathed a sigh of relief.
After Liu Bang left, Wang Can's mouth lost its function, and it was impossible to rely on Liu Bang to lower morale.
After all, no one responded.
Wang Can was still shouting outside the city tower, but no one responded to Wang Can. After a while, Wang Can stopped talking and rode his horse back to the military formation. He looked at Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, now
How do we break the situation?"
Guo Jia said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have carefully looked at the city walls of Chengdu. Based on the current situation, we can use artillery fire to bombard us. At most, we will bomb some Han soldiers and kill some Han soldiers. But it is probably extremely difficult to blow up the city walls.
After all, the city of Chengdu is strong, and this strength alone is not enough to blow open the city gate."
Wang Can said: "What if we attack by force?"
Guo Jiadao: "If it is a forced attack, I am afraid that we will have to pay at least ten times the death price of Han soldiers to capture Chengdu. After all, the city wall is tall and it is not easy to attack by force."
"Retreat, set up camp first."
After Wang Can heard this, he decisively ordered a retreat.
Since we can't take Chengdu, we should retreat temporarily and wait for the opportunity to break the city.
The army retreated ten miles and then set up camp.
In the military camp, the Chinese army tent.
Wang Can, Guo Jia, Han Xin, Shan Xiongxin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, Mu Guiying and others all gathered in the camp.
Wang Can glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The city of Chengdu is strong, and it is not easy to attack it by force. What do you think of the current situation?"
Guo Jia said seriously: "Your Majesty, when I was in the city of Chengdu in the past, I arranged a secret passage in the Hu family in the west of the city, which can directly enter and exit the city. However, the secret passage is narrow, and it may not be easy to mobilize a large army to enter. But as long as we can get in through
Once the secret passage is entered and a large army appears in the city, we will be able to cooperate inside and outside."
In the past, Guo Jia sent Peng Yue's family away and left the city from the Hu family in the west of the city.
In this way, Peng Yue's family members were sent away without anyone noticing.
Wang Can rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "We have no solution for the current situation. Going through the tunnel is also a way. And this method is currently the most likely to break the city."
Han Xin cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, even if we have to enter Chengdu through the tunnel, we must attract Liu Bang's attention. Otherwise, once Liu Bang discovers us, the consequences will be disastrous."
Wang Can nodded and said: "What Han Qing said is polite. Let's do this. You lead three thousand elite soldiers outside the north gate and continue the war to attract the attention of Liu Bang, Xiao He and others."
"Here!"
Han Xin responded directly.
When he led his troops to fight, he could scold Liu Bang and vent his grievances.
Now he wanted to kill Liu Bang and then quickly.
He looked forward to breaking through the city as soon as possible.
Wang Can's eyes turned, then fell on Shan Xiongxin, and said: "Shan Xiongxin, you and Guo Jia, lead a few soldiers into the city to check whether the Hu family is safe. If the Hu family is OK, send someone
Come out and answer the letter, and then prepare to send soldiers into the city."
"Here!"
Guo Jia and Shan Xiongxin responded directly.
Previously, it was the two of them who were operating in Chengdu. Now it is extremely normal for the two of them to enter the city first.
Wang Can's eyes fell on Peng Yue again, and he said seriously: "Peng Qing, you are responsible for mobilizing the army. I will give you fifteen thousand elite soldiers. You have the soldiers ready and ready to enter the city at any time."
"Here!"
Peng Yue also responded directly.
Being able to enter the city first, then fight your way out of the city, and cooperate with Wang Can inside and outside is the easiest thing to accomplish.
Peng Yue was also happy to receive it.
After Wang Can arranged all the things properly, he waved his hand and let everyone go about their business.
He sat in the camp, thinking about his next step. If Guo Jia's plan could be followed and troops could be sent into the city first, then it would be much easier to attack Chengdu.
Time passed little by little, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
The sun is setting in the west and a cold breeze is blowing.
After Wang Can had dinner, he read in the camp.
"Tap! Tread!"
A burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the tent.
A soldier walked to the door of the camp and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Tang Dynasty."
"Come in!"
Wang Can gave an order.
The soldier raised the curtain of the camp tent and quickly entered. He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, holding a letter in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the news from the Tang Dynasty."
Wang Can took the letter and read it quickly.
After reading it, his expression changed drastically.
The content of the letter was the news that Li Shimin sent Li Jing and Li Ji to send troops. Ever since Li Shimin arranged for Li Xiaogong and Li Yuanba to stir up trouble in Shu, Wang Can paid special attention to the intelligence of the Tang Dynasty and ordered Wang Yue to dispatch elite soldiers and generals. Go to Xiangyang and find out what's going on in the Tang Dynasty.
Now, I really found out the news.
For Wang Can, the earlier he gets such news, the earlier he can respond and not panic.
After knowing the news, Wang Can made preparations.
Wang Can ordered: "Come here!"
A soldier entered, bowed and bowed, then waited for Wang Can's instructions.
Wang Can said: "Summon Peng Yue to come and see you."
"Here!"
When the soldiers received the order, they immediately went to inform them.
After a while, Peng Yue hurriedly came to the camp, saluted Wang Can with clasped fists, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has summoned me, what are your orders?"
Wang Can said: "After Guo Jia enters the city, will there be any news?"
During the day, the plan was agreed upon, and Guo Jia took Shan Xiongxin into action and sneaked into the city along the secret passage.
Peng Yue said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no news from Military Advisor Guo for the time being. According to Military Advisor Guo's description, even if the news is to be transmitted back, I'm afraid it will take more than an hour. There should be news from Military Advisor Guo before early tonight. .”
"Can't wait any longer."
Wang Can frowned and said, "Peng Qing, lead your troops immediately and enter the city along the secret passage. Then, send troops to attack the west gate so that my army can enter the city."
Although Wang Can's army was stationed in the north of the city, Wang Can's target was not in the south of the city, but in the west. Because Liu Bang knew that his promise was outside the south of the city, and Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others were also in the south of Chengdu. upstairs.
It is extremely difficult to cooperate with foreigners in Nancheng.
After all, Liu Bang's most elite soldiers gathered here.
So after Wang Can made a plan, he dispatched some soldiers to lurk in the west of the city. As soon as the city gate was opened, the army quickly entered the city and captured the west side of the city.
As long as Wang Can controls the west of the city and the army continues to enter, it will be impossible for Liu Bang to hold Chengdu.
After hearing this, Peng Yue said: "Your Majesty, the original plan was to wait for the news from Military Advisor Guo before sending troops in. Now there is no news from Military Advisor Guo, and we don't know what the situation is like on his side. Send troops now. ,Does it fit?"
"Time is running out."
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "I just received news from Li Tang. Liu Bang sent Shusun Tong to ask for help. Now, Li Shimin sent Li Jing to lead his army along the waterway to fight in Chengdu. Not only that, Li Shimin also sent Li Ji Lead troops to attack Bajun. With the current situation, if we cannot defeat Liu Bang as soon as possible, it will be very difficult to capture Chengdu."
"hiss!"
Peng Yue also took a breath of cold air.
There was also a solemn look in his eyes, knowing that the situation was a bit delicate.
