The cold wind from the north blew the flags on the tiger prison and hunted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Guodong's heart was colder than this wind at this time, and he looked at the murderous Niu Ben and had to ask his subordinates to take off all their armor.

Because Chen Guodong took the initiative to surrender, the Tiger Prison Pass was easily taken, but Niu Ben didn't think it was just because of Chen Guodong's two-faced and three-faced.

Chen Guodong has always seen the wind and steered, and his choice to surrender at this time shows that the general trend of King Zhao has gone, and the people who once called him a vassal have become lost dogs.

But even so, Niu Ben will not fully trust Chen Guodong.

Soldiers, the country's major affairs, if the tiger prison is handed over to Chen Guodong's soldiers, once there is an accident, their back road will be cut off and they will become trapped beasts in a cage.

Let the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army change into the traditional armor of the Great Yu Kingdom, and Niu Ben temporarily took the soldiers in the Tiger Prison into custody.

In Niu Ben's opinion, King Zhao was already in a dying struggle, because anyone who wanted to get the world would not do such a desperate thing at this time.

The more he delayed, the more likely King Zhao was to do crazy things, so he was ready to lead Chen Guodong to infiltrate Tongguan with soldiers disguised as the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass in order to take Tongguan in one fell swoop and block the news that Tongguan was broken.

In this way, they were able to quickly reach the city of Chang'an and catch King Zhao off guard.

After resting for the night, the next day Niu Ben led the army directly to Luoyang, and they arrived in Luoyang in the evening.

As Chen Guodong said, Luoyang was already an empty city at this time, and no trace of the people could be found in this city, only burned down houses and messy streets.

"This Luoyang was also a prosperous city second only to Chang'an back then, but now it has become like this!" Luo Hong was a little distressed.

Lu Fei said: "This area of Luoyang, Chang'an, is estimated to be wiped out by King Zhao. ”

"It's a shame that what was once a prosperous place has become like this." Ye Qingyun looked at the empty Luoyang City with emotion, but he continued: "Chang'an, Luoyang is densely populated, and Dengzhou is sparsely populated, if you can save the people this time, it is okay to move some past." ”

Niu Ben frowned, "This is the matter of the emperor and the ministers, we only need to carry out the emperor's orders." ”

After that, Niu Ben asked the army to be stationed in Luoyang City and make a fire to cook.

Because the Liang State and the Yan State were taken, the route from Yunzhou to Chang'an is now safe, and the grain and grass can be transported smoothly.

It can be said that this expedition to the west is occupied by the right time, place and people, and if it fails, it will be really difficult for him to meet Xiao Ming.

The next day, the army set off from Luoyang to Tongguan, at this time the army led by Liang Guodong walked in front, and Niu Ben led the follow-up army behind.

This time, their plan was to let Chen Guodong deceive the city gate of Tongguan, and the disguised Qingzhou army immediately attacked and controlled the city gate after entering the city.

After getting the signal, the follow-up troops will quickly attack and control Tongguan in one fell swoop, and then use Tongguan as a base to directly reach Chang'an City.

Three days later, Chen Guodong and Ye Qingyun arrived under Tongguan.

In order to prevent Chen Guodong from being a moth, Niu Ben ordered Ye Qingyun to enter the city with Chen Guodong, so that if Chen Guodong dared to play tricks, Ye Qingyun could kill Chen Guodong.

"Yo, isn't this General Chen?"

When Chen Guodong and Ye Qingyun arrived at Tongguan, a figure who looked like a guard appeared on the city wall.

Seeing this person, Chen Guodong laughed, this person is a close confidant of King Zhao, called Sun Lirong, he said flatteringly: "It turned out to be General Sun, bothering General Sun to open the city gate and let the younger brother in." ”

Sun Lirong looked condescending, and he said, "General Chen, aren't you in the Tiger Prison?" How did this come back? His Royal Highness said that in order to prevent spies from mixing into Tongguan, no one will be allowed to enter the city. ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Sun, this King of Qi's army is really powerful, and the younger brother can't resist for a day, so he led the army here, hoping to fight a decisive battle with the Qi army here."

Sun Lirong's face changed when he heard this, "So you said that the Tiger Prison Pass was lost?" ”

"Brother Sun, it's lost." Chen Guodong told the truth, "It only takes one day for this Qi king's army to attack the city, and this is not a false rumor. ”

Sun Lirong's face became more and more ugly, he looked at the soldiers under the city and said, "If that's the case, the general won't be able to let you in." ”

Why is that? You and I both work for King Zhao, why does Brother Sun treat me like this? Chen Guodong was a little anxious, and at the same time, he began to scold King Zhao in his heart.

Now he understands that he is just an outcast, and this King Zhao let him guard in the tiger prison just to send him to death.

Thinking of this, he hated it so much that he couldn't wait to kill King Zhao with his own hands.

Sun Lirong said lazily: "It's just because King Zhao doesn't trust you at all." ”

The conversation between the two made Ye Qingyun frown, and using this method to take Tongguan was their first plan.

The second plan is to attack as if it were attacking the Tiger Prison, but this will inevitably startle the snake.

However, in the current situation, it seems that the only way to go is to take the second plan.

Chen Guodong noticed Ye Qingyun's expression, he gave Ye Qingyun a reassuring look at this time, turned his head, and said to Sun Lirong: "Brother Sun, it doesn't matter if the younger brother robs it, but it's a pity that the little brother can't bring back the silver he robbed." ”

After that, Chen Guodong pointed to the box carried by the soldier and said.

When he was in Luoyang, Chen Guodong told Niu Ben that Sun Lirong, the general of Tongguan, according to Chen Guodong, this Sun Lirong was an extremely greedy person, and he also had a bad record of deducting military salaries in the army.

Therefore, he asked to bring the silver two in the Tiger Prison Pass to come, also to lure Sun Lirong to switch.

Sure enough, Sun Lirong showed greed when he learned that the box was silver.

The news of the defeat of Juyongguan has spread, and the elite of the Zhao army has suffered serious losses in this battle, and many people understand that this Chang'an cannot be saved.

Because of this, the king of Zhao ordered the army to sack Luoyang, and coerced the people of Luoyang to go to the Zhao state.

So in Sun Lirong's opinion, sooner or later, he just needs to withdraw, since this is the case, it is better to get more silver and go back.

With his eyes rolling, Sun Lirong said, "How much silver is here?" ”

"There are still more than a million taels." Chen Guodong knew that Sun Lirong was tempted.

After hesitating for a moment, he glanced at the more than 5,000 soldiers under the city, Sun Lirong felt that this person could not pose a threat to the 30,000 horses in the pass.

He finally nodded and said, "Switch!" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qingyun's mouth, under Sun Lirong's order, the gate of Tongguan slowly opened, as long as the city gate was taken, this Tongguan would be theirs.
