"Of course." Fa Zheng's expression was resolute, "I have to say that Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's strategy is really wonderful, we can break through like this, not only can we surprise the Su thief, but if we can succeed, we can also break the Wei army and pull back a battle." ”

Huo Jun worried: "But this plan is too risky, if there is a mistake, we are in danger of being wiped out." ”

"Without that, can we avoid total annihilation?" Fa Zheng asked with a wry smile.

Huo Jun was speechless, and after a light sigh, there was no objection.

Fa Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Without further ado, let's go and prepare immediately, and don't forget to raise the wolf smoke and inform Your Majesty that we have received his will." ”

"No!" Huo Jun took the order and left.

Not long after, a pillar of wolf smoke rose in the center of the city, rushed into the sky, and was clearly visible within a radius of dozens of miles.

Outside the city, Wei Ying.

In the imperial tent, Zhang Chunhua, Jia Xu, Deng Ai and other resourceful people were all summoned in the big tent, and studied the scrolls for most of the night.

That night, when Huang Zhong shot down those Kong Ming lanterns and gave these scrolls with strange numbers written on them to Su Zhe, Su Zhe realized that this must be a cipher text from Liu Bei's contact with Fa Zheng.

So, Su Zhe called Zhang Chunhua out of the inner tent, and woke Jia Xu and Deng Ai from the bed, and told them to study these ciphertexts overnight, trying to decipher the real content.

Before I knew it, the sky was dark, and the big guy studied all night, sleepy and tired, but he never found out.

"Your Majesty, could it be that we guessed wrong, the numbers of these ghost talismans are all Liu Bei Chengxin teasing us, and they don't mean anything at all." Veteran Huang Zhong asked impatiently.

Su Zhe sneered: "Han Sheng, I see that you are really sleepy, Liu Da'er is also a hero, not a three-year-old child, how can he be so boring." ”

Huang Zhong was stunned, smiled wryly and shook his head.

At this time, Zhang Chunhua said: "Your Majesty, forgive the concubine for bluntly saying that Liu Bei must have an agreed mother book with Fa Zheng, and the concubine guesses that it must be a book, but there are tens of thousands of books in the world, and if we don't know which book it is, there is no way to decipher it." ”

"Mother has a point." Jia Xu also agreed.

Su Zhe stroked his chin with his hand, stared at the numbers on the scroll, and muttered.

At this moment, Xu Chu hurriedly entered and arched his hand: "Please come out and take a look, there is something abnormal in the enemy city." ”

Su Zhe's expression moved, and he turned around and walked out of the imperial tent.

He looked up and saw that in the center of Shaanxi County, a column of wolf smoke had risen into the air and rushed straight into the sky.

"It's strange, why did there suddenly be wolf smoke in the enemy city for no reason?" Huang Zhong, who followed out, muttered.

Su Zhe immediately saw through it and sneered: "This is not for no reason, I expect that Fa Zheng and Huo Jun have already received and deciphered Liu Bei's ciphertext, and they are sending a signal to the Han army hidden in the mountains to the south through the wolf smoke and fire." ”

The generals suddenly realized.

Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and scolded: "Damn the big-eared thief, what kind of trick is he playing?" ”

Su Zhe said lightly: "No matter what tricks he plays, we just respond to all changes with the same thing, pass the order, and tell all battalions to be strictly guarded, but if there is an abnormal situation, come and report it immediately!" ”

"No!" The generals commanded.

Su Zhe looked at Shaanxi County from afar, looked at the pillar of wolf smoke that soared into the sky, and muttered a sneer: "Fazheng, I want to see what tricks you and Liu Bei can play." ”

……

Two days later, at nightfall.

On the front line of the south gate of Shaanxi County, tens of thousands of ragged Han soldiers and soldiers had already rushed to the south gate with reprimands.

These soldiers were just ordinary people, men and women, old and young, who were just forced to change into the clothes and armor of the Han army.

Fa Zheng stood at the head of the city, looking down at these crying and panicked people, his face was as cold as iron, and he was not moved.

"Captain Fatai, do we really want to do this?" Huo Jun beside him asked cautiously, a little unbearable between his eyebrows.

Fa Zheng said coldly: "The Su thieves surrounded the gates, if we don't use these people to attract the attention of the Su thieves, once we break through, the Su thieves will react immediately, and our hope of success will be greatly reduced, so someone must share the attention of the Wei army for us." ”

Huo Jun frowned and said: "But if we do this, when the Wei army is indiscriminate, it will be an indiscriminate killing, and these people are afraid that they will not survive a few." ”

Fa Zheng patted him on the shoulder, and said in a heartfelt tone: "Everything should be based on the overall situation, and when necessary, it is inevitable to make some sacrifices." You're still young and there's still a lot to learn. ”

Huo Jun seemed to have an understanding and was silent.

Fa Zheng no longer paid attention to his embarrassment, looked down at the city again, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Listen to the people under the city, how brutal the Wei army is, and how cruel Su Zhe, the lord of Wei, you all know, once they break through the city, they will definitely kill all of you, old and young!" ”

The people under the city immediately quieted down, and they all shivered secretly, and they were terrified by Fa Zheng's words.

Fa Zheng then said: "So, in order to save your lives, I decided to break through from the south gate tonight, and the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty will escort you out of the siege of the Wei army and flee to the remnants of the Qinling Mountains in the south. ”

The people in front of the city gate were encouraged by Fa Zheng's words, and gradually their blood was also ignited, and their desire to survive was unprecedentedly strong.

The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth raised a sneer of successful conspiracy, and he waved his hand and shouted: "The time has come, the city gate is opened, and the drawbridge is lowered." ”

The order was laid, and the gates, which had been closed for a month, were opened with a creak, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered.

Fa Zheng drew his sword in his hand, pointed to the outside of the city, and shouted: "Let's go, tonight we will fight side by side and fight a bloody road!" ”

Nearly 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, under the encouragement of Fazheng, rushed out of the city gate first, and the six or seven thousand people behind them, either spontaneously or were driven away, also rushed out of the city gate in a nest.

The breakout army composed of nearly 10,000 officials and civilians rushed towards the Wei army on the other side of the night like a trapped beast.

Fa Zheng stood at the head of the city, watching these sacrificeable chess pieces go away, and when everyone rushed out of the city, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.

Then he hurried down the city and got on his horse.

Turning around, nearly seven thousand young soldiers were still standing in the streets, staring at him with blank and suspicious eyes, obviously unable to guess why their captain had closed the city gates.

Isn't it to break through from the south gate?

Everyone's hearts were filled with deep confusion, and they were a little flustered for a while.

Fa Zheng took a deep breath, pointed his horsewhip in the direction of the north gate, and shouted: "The rest of the men and horses obeyed the order, and immediately broke through from the north gate with this official and went straight to the Yellow River crossing!" ”
