Chapter 208: The Yang Family in Hanzhong
Thanks to Zhang Ting's performance, Zhang Ren thought secretly! It is reported that the senior brother was better than Zhang Liao that day, and he didn't want to be only one line away from the senior brother in martial arts that day, but now it is a world of difference. Although he thought so in his heart, how could Zhang Ren lose to Zhang Liao on his tongue, only to hear Zhang Ren also laugh and say: "A certain is waiting in the city, this place must be where you Zhang Wenyuan is buried." ”
In the big tent of Zhang Xiu under Nanzheng City, Zhang Liao knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the tent and said: "Liao is not effective in attacking the city, please punish the lord." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu immediately stepped forward to help Zhang Liao up, and said: "Nan Zheng Chengjian, besides, Zhang Ren is well guarded in the city, this is not Wenyuan's crime. ”
Zhang Liao heard it and said gratefully: "Thank you, lord."
Zhang Xiu nodded, motioned for Zhang Liao to sit aside, and then returned to the main seat and asked Li Ru: "Military advisor, can the losses be counted?" ”
Li Ru nodded, and said in a deep voice: "There is no damage to the cavalry in this battle, nearly two thousand casualties among the seven thousand foot soldiers, and almost no minor injuries, all serious injuries and deaths. ”
Listening to Li Ru's statistics, although Zhang Xiu had expected a lot of losses in this battle, he did not expect that there would be such a big loss, and the newly formed 10,000 foot soldiers would lose one-fifth of their troops in just one battle. Siege warfare is worthy of the name of meat grinder.
The generals heard this, and were silent for a while, and then Xu Rong, who arrived at the net, said: "Why don't you organize the captured Yang Ren's troops into the team and attack the city together." The number of Zhang Ren's troops is not large, and his losses after this battle are probably quite a lot. As long as they take turns to attack day and night, they will inevitably be able to capture Nanzheng City. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu frowned. Li Ru next to him said: "Yang Ren's department is just a new investor, and it must be unstable." Ben will attack the city with his army, and he will think that Ben will send him to death, so I am afraid that it will cause a rebellion. ”
After listening to Li Ru's words, Zhang Xiu nodded unconsciously, he heard Xu Rong's suggestion, and immediately thought of this, which coincided with Li Ru's thoughts. After being silent for a while, Zhang Xiu asked, "What is the best strategy for the military advisor?" ”
Li Ru heard it, but replied with a smile: "Confucianism didn't have a strategy to break the city before, but after listening to General Xu's words, Confucianism thought of it." ”
Zhang Xiu heard it and said in surprise: "Strategist, come quickly."
Li Ru smiled slightly, and said: "The Hanzhong family takes the Yang family as the master, and Yang Ren is a disciple of the Yang family, the lord only needs to write a letter in his hand, send someone to sneak into Nanzheng City at night, and hand this letter to the head of the Yang family, asking him to help me break the city, if I don't follow it." killed Yang Ren
Zhang Xiu heard this, frowned and said: "The Yang family that the military advisor said is from the Hanzhong family, and Zhang Ren must also know about this matter." I am afraid that Zhang Ren will send someone to monitor the Yang family's every move, and Yang Song, another son of the Yang family, is also an official under Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu is captured at this time, I am afraid that Yang Song will not be able to escape
Li Ru heard it and said with a smile: "I'm afraid not necessarily, the princes everywhere are not like the lords, and the family is the key to whether they can govern a place, so Zhang Ren must not dare to offend the Yang family too much, in the opinion of Confucianism, Yang Song should have been released back to the Yang family."
Zhang Xiu heard this, nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, now it is difficult for Nanzheng City, only to see if this plan can be successfully finished After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu immediately wrote a letter and handed it to a member of the Shadows." Let him infiltrate Nanzheng City and give it to the members of the shadows who remain in Nanzheng City, and let him hand over this letter to the head of the Yang family.
Many of the members of the Shadow were Wang Yue's apprentices, and in addition to being proficient in swordsmanship, these rangers were also experts in climbing walls with tools, so Zhang Xiu was very confident that they would be able to infiltrate Nanzheng City.
Seeing General Zhang Xiu: "The lord must maintain the attack on Nanzheng City these days, don't let Zhang Ren be suspicious."
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "I know this embroidery." ”
After the plan was decided, Zhang Xiu let everyone disperse. At night, the member of the Shadow had successfully infiltrated Nanzheng City and handed over the letter to the Shadow member who was stationed in Nanzheng City. After the shadow member heard this, he immediately went to Yang's house overnight with the letter, and put the letter in front of the bed of Yang Bai, the head of the Yang family.
Early the next morning. Yang Bai saw the couch in front of him: "If that person wants to take his life, it will be easy." After being afraid for a while, Yang Bai opened the letter and frowned deeply after reading its contents. After thinking about it, he said to the butler, "Quickly call Song'er."
Soon, Yang Song, who was released back to Yang's house by Zhang Ren not long ago, as Li Ru expected, came to Yang Bai, Yang Bai handed the letter to Yang Song, and did not speak.
Yang Bai saw that Yang Song finished reading: "Your third brother was caught by Zhang Xiu, and now Zhang Xiu wants my Yang family to help him break the city, so what can I do."
Although Yang Song is greedy for money, he is also a little wise, after reading: "Song thought he should help Zhang Xiu." ”
Yang Bai heard it and said curiously: "How can Jiang say this?" ”
Yang Song said: "Zhang Lu was originally the Taishou of Hanzhong personally appointed by Liu Yan, and now what Zhang Lu has done can be described as a rebellion. Now Zhang Lu..., if Liu Zhang's army comes, Zhang Xiu is not his opponent and will fall into the hands of Liu Yan, but I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. And my Yang family can be said to be an accomplice to Zhang Lu's rebellion, looking at Liu Zhang's previous thunderous methods, even if my Yang family escaped. There are also a lot of losses, and the land is only afraid of not being protected. If Zhang Xiu is helped to capture Nanzheng at this time, Hanzhong County can be said to be in the hands of Zhang Xiu, and then Liu Zhang's army has its own Zhang Xiu to resist, with Zhang Xiu's courage and the strength of his army, I am afraid that Liu Zhang will not be able to get benefits. And my Yang family is a great hero who helped Zhang Xiu win Hanzhong, and then my Yang family can also restore its status in Hanzhong. ”
After Yang Bai heard this, he nodded and said: "This is reasonable, but it is reported that Zhang Xiu is doing some kind of imperial examination in Nanyang County to promote people from poor families, and this move is only afraid that it will not be conducive to my Yang family." ”
Yang Song heard it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, father, Zhang Xiu conducted the imperial examination in Nanyang County, and promoted the scholars of the Hanmen because of the lack of officials in Nanyang County." And my Yang family is full of talents, Yunwen Yunwu, Zhang Xiu will inevitably reuse it. Moreover, the Shangyong Shen family is also under the rule of Zhang Xiu, and there is no big loss, and his status in the Shangyong is unchanged, so his father does not have to worry too much. ”
After Yang Bai heard this, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case." I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Yang Song nodded and said, "Just need a handwritten letter from my father, and Song will send someone to make an appointment with Zhang Xiu." ”
Yang Bai nodded, then took out the silk cloth and pen and ink, wrote a letter and handed it to Yang Song, and then Yang Song wrote the letter. Yang Song went to arrange manpower and prepared to sneak out of Nanzheng City at night to hand over the letter to Zhang Xiu.
It's just that Yang Bai and Yang Song didn't expect that all this they were secretly planning was seen by the people who Zhang Ren arranged to monitor them. The vigilante reported everything he saw to Zhang Ren, and after listening to it, Zhang Ren smiled and muttered: "Yang family, I am worried that I have no chance to uproot you, I didn't expect you to be so quick to hold back." After finishing speaking, Zhang Ren immediately arranged for manpower to intercept the people who were delivering letters out of the city at night.
In the evening, the patrol soldiers intercepted a ghostly man, brought him to Zhang Ren, and took a letter to him. Zhang Renxian opened: "It turned out to be the second watch." After finishing speaking, he learned Yang Song's handwriting, added a stroke to the two words, and changed it to three watches.
After that, he muttered: "This time, I will kill those restless families and Zhang Xiu and others again and again." ”
After that, he asked the man: "Do you want to die or live?" ”
Yang Song was able to send this person to deliver the letter, naturally he was the henchman of the Yang family, and when the man heard it, he snorted coldly: "Die." ”
Zhang Ren heard it and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, this will fulfill you, but you are not dying now, but tomorrow." After saying that, he chose a clever person among the soldiers, and then said to him: "Give this letter to Zhang Xiu's hand." After the soldier nodded, he secretly went out of the city under Zhang Ren's arrangement.
After that, Zhang Ren instructed the soldiers: "Take a good look at him, and tell people tomorrow morning that this is the person Zhang Xiu arranged to sneak into the city and show him to the public, but don't let him speak." ”
When all the soldiers heard this, they responded in unison: "No."
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Ren arranged for the soldiers to show the Yang family's henchmen, saying that Zhang Xiu arranged for the spies who infiltrated Nanzheng City. When Yang Song saw it, he naturally recognized it as someone arranged by his own family, and thought that the matter was revealed that the Yang family would not escape, but how did he know that after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Zhang Ren send someone to the Yang family to arrest people.
At this time, Yang Song came to his senses and said to Yang Bai, who was still nervous: "Father, it seems that he sent the letter to Zhang Xiu." When we were about to return to the city, we were caught as spies, and our affairs were not revealed. ”
Yang Bai heard this, and was shocked for a moment, and then asked, "Then do this thing or not?" ”
Yang Song's eyes froze, and he said, "Yes, since Zhang Xiu has received the letter, and our affairs have not been revealed, why not do it." ”
After hearing this, Yang Bai nodded and said, "In this case, don't be careful, the lives of the Yang family will be in your hands." ”
Yang Song smiled and nodded, "Father, don't worry." Loose is sure. ”
On the other side, Zhang Ren arranged for someone to pretend to be a member of the Yang family and deliver the letter to Zhang Xiu's hand, and the person left after delivering the letter.
After the two of them finished reading, Zhang Xiu asked, "Military advisor, I didn't expect the Yang family to really agree." ”
Li Ru smiled mysteriously and said, "What if you agree, the lord only needs to send a small group of soldiers and horses to do a scene tonight." ”
Zhang Xiu heard it and wondered: "Why did the military advisor say that?" Isn't this epistle fake? ”
Li Ru smiled slightly, and said: "How true and false, the Yang family was originally an abandoned son of Confucianism, as long as there is this letter, someone will inevitably accept the concubine tonight, and the next step of Confucianism's plan can be carried out." ”
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately wondered: "What do you mean by the military advisor, please solve the confusion for the embroidery." If you want to know what happened next, please log in than, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
