Shen Guang shook his head and said to him: "No matter how cautious Yuwen Zhiji and Liu Zhifei are, it is useless. At most, they can only live a few more days. In the words of the prince, what they did is wrong and they are destined to go to the wrong direction. Perish."
"I think Huang Shaoqiu won't be able to capture the city of Yangzhou without killing one or two thousand people this time." Xu Jingzong said somewhat relaxedly. In his opinion, it is a miracle that only one or two thousand people died after attacking a city. Of course, This is the situation in the past few years. In the Far Eastern Army's battles in recent years, there have been too many sieges in which less than a thousand people were killed. The Far Eastern Army's super combat power is not only due to the superior combat power of the Far Eastern Army, but also because of the use of gunpowder weapons in the attack. The sharp performance in the city battle. Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that Wang Junlin's forces such as the Military Intelligence Agency, the Martial Arts Guild, and Xiaoyu Theater used methods such as alienation, internal support, and psychological warfare to cause internal conflicts among the enemy, and even self-disintegration and collapse.
Shen Guang also smiled and said: "So, you and I are here to do this, and we have accomplished this. At least half of the credit for capturing Yangzhou City belongs to you and me and the brothers outside. The most important thing is that Huang Shaoqiu One or two thousand soldiers were saved. Hmm...Did Huang Shaoqiu tell us when the army would arrive and when he would let us open the city gates?"
Xu Jingzong said: "I just got the news that Li Zitong and other three rebels wanted to sneak attack on the Navy camp after Huang Shaoqiu led the main force to leave. Naturally, my people knew this news in advance, so Huang Shaoqiu set up a trap and pretended The main force of the army set off, and actually suddenly killed a carbine. Now they should have almost killed the three rebel navy troops. News came from the front that they would arrive outside Yangzhou City in the afternoon. And the army had been agreed upon. When the drum beats outside the city to the rhythm of plum blossoms, the city gate will be opened, so I plan to have everyone in place after noon, firstly, to familiarize themselves with their respective positions in advance, and secondly, to become familiar with the enemy."
Shen Guang said: "Master Xu is saying that there won't be any problems with Huang Weiyang, right?"
Xu Jingzong smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, unless Huang Weiyang doesn't want to live anymore and wants to kill his whole family, he will fight to the death with us. Besides, he has accepted our gold and promised us to give him." Promise. There should be no problem."
Shen Guang said expressionlessly: "Huang Weiyang is particularly important to us. If something goes wrong with him, we will implement the second set of follow-up plans. I'm afraid things in Yangzhou City will be delayed for a few days. The most important thing is that Huang Shaoqiu's people may Fighting with Yuwen Zhiji's army outside the city will increase our losses."
Xu Jingzong said: "Master Shen is right. I also have this intention. However, the most troublesome thing now is Youzhou. I heard that Li Shimin has been supporting the horse thieves with tens of thousands of people in recent years. You guys The Military Intelligence Office never discovered it, which was a dereliction of duty. Now these tens of thousands of horse thieves are coming and going like the wind, burning, killing and looting in Youzhou, and all of Luo Yi's army in Youzhou are contained at once. If Goguryeo Yeon Gaesumun suddenly suddenly If we send troops to invade, Luo Yi's 100,000-strong army will not be able to move at all. Now Li Jing has personally led his people to Youzhou."
Shen Guang chuckled and said: "Master Xu, don't worry. Li Jing and Luo Yi will work together to deal with this group of thieves. I think this horse thief will not be at large for long, and it will not affect the prince's battle with the Li family's army in Mayi County."
At this time, an intelligence agent hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Xu Jingzong's ear. Xu Jingzong nodded slightly. After the intelligence agent left, he said to Shen Guang: "Then old man Liu Zhifei asked Huang Weiyang to patrol the city with him later. I don't want to Don’t worry, others will follow, it’s better for me to dress up as Huang Weiyang’s personal soldier and follow.”
Shen Guang said: "Master Xu has thought carefully. You should go and prepare now. Predict various possibilities in advance and think of plans. You really can't be careless."
"Master Shen reminded me." Xu Jingzong clasped his fists, stood up and left.
It is raining heavily in Yangzhou today. A group of people from Yangzhou City are begging at the gate of the north city. They are originally people from Yangzhou City, but they just happened to leave the city when the city was closed. Now they are asking the general guarding the gate to let them into the city.
Huang Weiyang, the captain of Guoyi who was stationed here, had a sneer on his face. He said to the soldiers guarding the gate: "They are not allowed to enter the city. Who knows if there are enemy spies among these people."
The generals under Huang Weiyang showed no mercy to these people. A captain nodded in agreement and shouted to the people in the city: "Get out of here, anyone who comes near the city gate will be shot to death."
A middle-aged man outside the city who didn't look like an ordinary citizen yelled back: "Fuck you, my son is from Yangzhou Prefecture, and you didn't say anything before you closed the city. I happened to be out of the city to collect rent. "
However, Huang Weiyang ignored him at all and ordered to the left and right: "Shoot a few of them to death."
Several soldiers immediately raised their bows, and when they were almost full, they heard an angry shout from behind: "Put them all down."
When Huang Weiyang heard the voice of Liu Zhifei, who was now in charge of the defense of Yangzhou City, he turned around and saw Liu Zhifei striding up to the city, followed by several other generals and a group of soldiers. He quickly saluted and said: "Mr. Liu, outside the city They are all common people who have not had time to enter the city, and I am worried that there may be enemy spies inside, so I am about to expel them."
Liu Zhifei walked to the side of the city and looked at a group of people wearing different clothes. It was true that their voices had Yangzhou accents, but this didn't mean anything. He said to the people behind him: "Come and recognize them, see if you know anyone." , are you from Yangzhou City?"
A soldier checked carefully and then replied: "The man in the lead is indeed from Yangzhou City, and his son is indeed working as an errand in Yangzhou Mansion. The rest of them cannot be fully recognized."
At this time, a captain suddenly said: "Mr. Liu, the general believes that these people are citizens of Yangzhou City, and they should be allowed in. Otherwise, it will not be conducive to the stability of the people in the city. However, they can be checked and searched one by one at the city gate before they are released." Come in."
"How could Captain Wu do this!" Huang Weiyang said angrily to the captain, "Since ancient times, there have been many siege battles in which civilians were exiled into the city, which resulted in the enemy's presence in the city, and the city was finally broken. Now. Now. General Yuwen's affairs have reached the most critical moment. We only need to hold on to the city and wait for General Yuwen to lead the army back to Yangzhou City. But before that, we must not let anyone suspicious into the city."
Liu Zhifei nodded lightly. What Huang Weiyang said was exactly what he was thinking. Huang Weiyang usually had nothing outstanding, but he was able to be trusted by the second young master Yu Wen. Now it seems that he still has some ability and knowledge.
The most important thing is that judging from Huang Weiyang's response just now, this person is loyal enough to the second young master. It is relatively safe to hand over the North Gate to him.
