Wu Yutian's camp was only five miles away from Chengdu City, and the army quickly arrived at the west gate of Chengdu City.

The gate of the West Gate was closed, and there were many horses refused, obviously Cao Guozhang had already prepared.

I have to say that he started quickly.

Wu Zhao stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Brothers at the head of the city, Deputy General Wu wants to enter the city and open the city gate quickly!"

But I heard a person shouting, "Wu Zhao, do you still have the face to go back to Chengdu City again?" Go back and ask your master Wu Yutian, who was just a pawn at the beginning, who promoted him step by step to the position of deputy chief soldier? Ask him again, when his wife was seriously ill, who gave him money and found the best doctor for him to treat him? When he led the troops to suppress bandits and changed military orders without authorization, who pleaded with him to protect him? Now that he is about to take revenge and help the abuse, he has the shame to take refuge in the traitor surnamed Qin, and strike a blow against the governor who is so kind to him, how can such a shameless person live in the world?"

Wu Zhao looked up carefully, and vaguely saw that it was Cao Guoqing in the light of the firelight, and suddenly his heart was not good.

It seems that Cao Guozhang made the first move, and decisively transferred Cao Guoqing's troops out to guard the outer city, and the original 30,000 Wu Yutian troops in the outer city are estimated to have been transferred to the inner city.

In this way, Cao Guozhang is actually very dangerous, because once the 30,000 horses in the inner city turn against the water, Cao Guozhang will have no power to resist.

But at the same time, it is the safest way to do it.

Because if these 30,000 horses were still stationed in the outer city, even if Cao Guozhang removed all the generals, as long as Wu Yutian ordered the siege of the city, they would never resist hard - because these soldiers and horses were all descendants of Wu Yutian, how could they be willing to fight their own people? Moreover, as long as Wu Yutian captured the outer city, these soldiers and horses would inevitably regain control of Wu Yutian.

So Cao Guozhang had no choice but to separate the 30,000 soldiers and horses from Wu Yutian.

Inside the governor's yamen, Cao Guozhang's face was gloomy and tense, while Zhou Yanru was completely panicked and couldn't hide it at all.

At this time, Zhou Huai'an came in.

Zhou Yanru hurriedly asked, "Zhou Huai'an, what happened to the 30,000 soldiers and horses outside, can you control it?"

Zhou Huai'an said, "Back to Zhou Xiang, according to the orders of the governor, I have ordered Zhao Rui, the commander of Chengdu Wei, to lead the 30,000 troops instead of Wu Linfeng, the former outer city guard." In addition, we also killed dozens of their generals, and replaced them with our people, so that we could control the soldiers at the grassroots level. ”

Zhou Yanru asked again, "What about Mr. Qian? What about those generals? Why don't you kill them? These people were all brought out by Wu Yutian, and they can't be kept!"

Cao Guozhang immediately said, "Teacher, don't worry. These thousands are always deliberately left by the students. ”

"Oh, Guozhang, you are confused, what are these people doing here?" Zhou Yanru said hurriedly.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru had no city government and was angry, Cao Guozhang had a hundred things in his heart that he couldn't look down on.

If Zhou Yanru hadn't been his mentor, he would have let him get out of the governor's yamen.

But after taking a deep breath, he patiently explained, "If you remove all the generals, you will let those soldiers have no scruples, and it will be easier for accidents." And leave some generals and general managers, and then let our masters control them, and when the time comes, the order will be issued by these generals and general managers, which is far more effective than our people going down. Teacher, if you don't understand the way to lead soldiers, don't worry about it!"

Zhou Yanru was speechless by Cao Guozhang, and had to admit that what Cao Guozhang said was right.

So he said to Zhou Huai'an, "Huai'an, you have to send the most powerful people to control those generals. In addition, we must be decisive in our dealings, but those who have different intentions must be killed without forgiveness, and we must not be kind to women. This battle is related to our Donglin, oh no, it is the rise and fall of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhou Huai'an said, "Zhou Xiang rest assured, everything has been arranged." All the generals and Qianzong, at least two good players are always following around, and they don't dare to make a mistake!"

"By the way, that Qin Shuhuai, are you sure he didn't go to Wu Yutian's camp?" Zhou Yanru asked again.

Zhou Huai'an nodded, "The subordinates are sure." At that time, there were only two people who went to Wu Yutian's side. ”

"Do you think he's dead?" Zhou Yanru said happily but unconvinced.

"As far as his subordinates know, he was seriously injured when he fled. And the news from the outside city that he was shot with an arrow when he left the city, and there is indeed a possibility that he will be seriously injured and killed. ”

Zhou Yanru stood up with a pout, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"He's dead! He's dead!" Zhou Yanru's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but be happy, "As long as this thief dies, we will have hope, hope......"

Zhou Huai'an reminded, "Zhou Xiang, this is just a subordinate's speculation, not a ......."

"Huai'an, he's dead!" Cao Guozhang said, "Benfu has also informed the brothers that Qin Shuhuai is dead!"

Zhou Huai'an understood.

Immediately said, "What the governor said is extremely true, Qin Shuhuai is dead!"

Outside the city.

Wu Zhao quickly reported back to Wu Yutian, saying that the outer city had been controlled by Cao Guozhang's troops.

Wu Yutian threw down his horsewhip in annoyance and said angrily, "It's still too late!"

Then he looked at Tian Bonian again and asked, "What is the military strategy?"

Tian Bonian thought for a while and said, "Outside Chengdu, there are thousands of Tsing Yi troops who secretly entered Sichuan, these Tsing Yi troops are from Ruoqiang, and it is said that their combat power is very good. They were suppressing various factions in Wulin before, and if they knew that Chengdu was besieged, they would inevitably come back and attack our army with Cao Guoqing on both sides, which would be very unfavorable to our army. Therefore, it is better to attack the city sooner rather than later!"

Wu Yutian hesitated and asked, "We only have 20,000 people, can we attack it?"

Tian Bonian said categorically, "The combat strength of Cao Guoqing's troops is mediocre, and now the general trend of the Donglin Party is gone. The officers and men in the army are not fools, and they already know that the armies in Sichuan will not be able to defeat the imperial court. If the general resolutely revolted, Shuzhong would inevitably be in internal and external difficulties, and they would not believe that Cao Guozhang would be able to win the imperial court. Therefore, our army only needs to attack the city with one blow, and the rebels will definitely be defeated without a fight. As long as the outer city is captured, the inner city will be our brothers, and as long as the general raises his arms, they will inevitably be attached. ”

Wu Yutian pondered for a while and said, "The military advisor is reasonable! Then, the general will first order the siege of the city, and then order the brothers to make a ladder, and then go to the camp to get some baggage, and then start the siege after dawn." ”

Tian Bonian said, "The general is wise!"

Wu Yutian quickly arranged for the soldiers to make ladders from nearby materials. In addition, he sent part of his army back to the camp to get heavy weapons such as armored carts, heavy armor, and large shields.

Seeing this, Cao Guoqing, who was on the city wall, hurriedly sent someone back to inform Cao Guozhang, saying that Wu Yutian was about to attack the city, and asked him to send more masters of the Dark Cloud Sect to help.

He did not dare to lead his troops to take the initiative to attack. In contrast, Wu Yutian's combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of his subordinates, and more importantly, the soldiers under his command are now very unstable.

And the only thing he could do was to keep spreading the news that Qin Shuhuai was dead to boost morale.

Indeed, at such an important moment, Qin Shuhuai did not appear, which is enough to be the best evidence that he is "dead".

It's the best way to boost morale!

Why is the imperial court strong? Isn't there this invincible demon of the Ming Dynasty?
