When the Cao army of Dongping left the city, a figure flashed out of a forest a few miles outside the city, and saw him dressed in a military uniform, riding alone and running in the opposite direction of Dongping City.The sergeant galloped all the way for miles before he came to a deep mountain and old forest, but as soon as he came into contact with the forest, he was stopped by a group of sergeants armed with bows and crossbows.After seeing its costume and face, he relaxed his guard and let him enter the forest.The sergeant trotted all the way to the group, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in his hands and said, "Strategist, the little one has found out the news."
After Chen Gong's military division led the soldiers and horses only in Dongping City for about an hour, he directly withdrew his troops and sent them to Rencheng.Shortly after his departure, a large group of Cao troops in Dongping City left to pursue our army. ”"Do you know how many people there are in the Cao army from Dongping City" The person who was called the military advisor nodded slightly after hearing this, and then asked with a calm face.This person is none other than Xu Yuanzhi, who came from Jizhou and was appointed by Zhao Yu to be the commander of the military division.This time, Xu Shu was ordered by Zhao Yu to lead the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou to besiege Yanzhou.And Xu Shu has been leading the army to hide in the mountains and forests since he set out, and he has been hiding for nearly a month.While the army was hiding, Xu Shu had been paying close attention to the battles in many places, almost grasping first-hand information, and preparing for the next battle at any time.When Lu Xun and Chen Gong captured Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom, they had always secretly contacted Xu Shu and were at Xu Shu's disposal.The sergeant bowed again: "Hui military division, according to small observations, this time Dongping City sent about 30,000 men and horses to pursue our army, most of them are infantry, and the cavalry is only two or three thousand horses, and they are not tiger and leopard horses. ”"Good, good."
After Xu Shu finished speaking, he couldn't help nodding again and again, and then said to Zhao Yun beside him: "Based on the analysis of the damage in the battle between Chen Gong and Dongping Cao's army, the upper limit of troops in Dongping City should be about 30,000.This time, Chen Gong successfully lured the Cao army in Dongping City out of the city to pursue, and dispatched nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, so it can be seen that the number of guards in the city should be about 2,000 or 3,000.With the strength of my 100,000 army, I want to take a Dongping city of about two or three thousand, General Zilong, how long do you say it will take" Without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, Gao Shun on the side couldn't help but take the first step in front of Xu Shu, bowed to Xu Shu and Zhao Yun and said: "The siege is the main force of the infantry, and General Zilong is the commander of the cavalry, so this siege battle is still handed over to me Gao Shun."
With 100,000 troops, Gao Shun guarantees that he will definitely be able to take Leping City in half an hour, otherwise he is willing to abide by military law. ”After Gao Shun finished speaking, Xu Shu couldn't help but stare at Zhao Yun, as if he was asking for his opinion, only to hear Zhao Yun smile and say: "General Gao Shun is loyal, brave and benevolent, and he commands the sergeants to be dispatched well.The trapping camp led by him is the first infantry in the world, led by General Gao Shun to attack Leping City, and Leping City will definitely not be able to resist. ”"Thank you, General Zilong."
Hearing Zhao Yun's recommendation, Gao Shun immediately hugged his fists gratefully and said."
Haha, there are General Zilong and General Gao Shun in our army who support each other, so why worry about the uncertain world."
Xu Shu on the side immediately laughed loudly, and then said to Gao Shun again: "Gao Shun, my 100,000 army marched all the way to Leping City."
You will lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, and you must take Leping City within an hour, otherwise you will be demerited. ”When Gao Shun learned this, he immediately said with excited hands: "Please rest assured that the military advisor and the general, Gao Shun will definitely not let the two of you down." ”Immediately, I only heard Xu Shu's order and said: "Okay, the whole army will set off, and the soldiers will command Leping City." ”Suddenly, the 100,000-strong army was all assembled in less than a cup of tea, which shows how strict the training of this army is in order to achieve such a neat and orderly rhythm.The army of 100,000 galloped all the way, and it was just a few teas before approaching the gate of Leping City.Three hundred meters away from Leping City, 100,000 troops lined up in the formation of a phalanx, each as an army, standing in broad daylight looks majestic, and the Cao army guards on the gate tower of Leping City are at a loss.Just looking at the opponent's formation, there are as many as 100,000, not to mention that with their own 2,000 men and horses, even if they add the 30,000 troops who did not leave, they will not be able to resist the offensive of the 100,000 army.As soon as the army in the city left this time, the enemy's brigade of soldiers and horses arrived, and seeing that it had been premeditated, looking at the dense enemy army below, the two thousand soldiers and horses left behind were in a commotion.Soldier A couldn't help but panic and said: "Brothers, this Zhao army's army is coming, there are so many soldiers and horses, what should we do" Soldier B on the side hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let the people below seal the gate to prevent the enemy from breaking the city gate." ”Seeing that someone was about to make a move, Soldier C hurriedly said: "You are all stupid, we only have 2,000 men, and this time we see that the number of enemy troops is more than 80,000, close to 100,000.With just how our little force can resist the point attack, we can break through the enemy army and destroy us in one round of siege.I think we might as well flee and get into the city and disguise ourselves as the people of the city.I heard that this soldier of King Zhao is very powerful, and no one can stop him wherever he goes.But there is one thing, I heard that every time the Zhao army captures a city, it will not harass a family, and will also open a warehouse to distribute the granary materials in the city to the people.As long as we can disguise ourselves as the people of this city, we can escape, so why not?
”Hearing Soldier C's words, Soldier Ding couldn't help but wonder and said: "It's really fake, Zhao Jun is really so good, I have never heard of a sergeant in this world who doesn't bully the people, could it be that you are mistaken." ”Soldier C interrupted Soldier Ding's words and said, "What are you lying to, I have always been a talker, these are all said by the traders who came from Jizhou before.They also said that in Jizhou, everyone who joins the army has any medical care, insurance, or something, all of which benefit the people and the sergeants of the Zhao army. ”"What's the surprise, the freshness, what is that?"
the crowd asked.Soldier C said again: "Actually, I don't know what it is, but I heard that as long as anyone joins the army in the state city governed under the command of King Zhao, then he can see a doctor for free when he is sick."
And their immediate relatives only need to pay half of the money when they are sick and treated.As for the preservation, it seems that after the sergeants die in battle, their families can get twice the pension as before.If their families continue to join the military, they are exempt from all taxes and receive all benefits. ”"It sounds so unlikely.""
That's it, where is there such a good thing, someone must be talking nonsense, since ancient times, how can any county lord think about the people.""
The people in Leping City listened, Cao Cao's traitors caused chaos in the dynasty, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and vainly wanted to take the Han Dynasty into their hands.Today, on the orders of my lord, this general will lead an army of 100,000 to conquer the Cao thief, and if you don't want to die, you can quickly open the city gate and surrender, so as to avoid death.Otherwise, after my Gao Shun leads the trapped camp to break through Leping City, you will be killed without mercy. ”While everyone was talking, they suddenly saw a man outside the city gate stepping forward on his horse and shouting at a guard at the city gate.Gao Shun originally wanted to use the strength of the army to directly break through the city gate, but this time, seeing the nervous appearance of the guards on the city gate, Gao Shun couldn't help but think of their family.Immediately, the way in which the lord governs the state and the city should be based on the will of the people, and force is not the only way to make the people of the world submit, and if you want to make the people of the world sincerely submit, you must govern the world with benevolence and righteousness.Therefore, Gao Shun, who originally wanted to make great achievements in the war this time, suddenly stopped killing and surrendered to try to capture Leping City.Gao Shun's surrender terminology suddenly surprised these Cao Jun, and someone couldn't help but ask in a whisper: "Listen, the people and horses of the Zhao army outside are persuading them to surrender, should we open the city gate and surrender" When even a sergeant retorted: "How can this work, if we open the city gate and surrender, then the prime minister will never let us go, how can we defect to the Zhao army, there is only a dead end in rebellion." ”"What are you kidding, with just 2,000 of us, it is impossible to resist the 100,000 army of the Zhao army.And didn't you listen to what he just said, he is the commander of the trapping camp of the strongest soldiers under the command of King Zhao, and the trapped camp is the strongest infantry in the world, we can't resist it at all, it is better to surrender in Kaicheng and save a life. ”Just as the guards at the city gate were discussing, Gao Shun under the city gate couldn't help shouting again: "The people in the city listen to me, and give you a stick of incense time, if you surrender without opening the city gate, our army will wave straight in, treat you and others as enemy troops, and kill them." ”Seeing that Gao Shun gave an ultimatum, the guards on the tower of the city gate said again and again after some thought: "Brothers, if we resist here, I'm afraid we won't be able to live for a moment, anyway, we will die horizontally and vertically, even if the Cao army is unable to resist the soldiers of King Zhao, it is better for us to open the city gate and surrender, maybe we can save a life."
Besides, there is nothing wrong with taking refuge in King Zhao, at least there is a glimmer of hope. ”"Yes, open the city gate and surrender, anyway, whether it is fighting for Cao Cao or fighting for King Zhao, we are just trying to eat, whoever is powerful we will take refuge in whomever we want, as long as we can live, it will be fine."
At that moment, these soldiers of the Cao army discussed the final conclusion and prepared to surrender."
Brothers, quickly open the city gate and welcome the soldiers of King Zhao into the city."
After a soldier in charge of guarding the city gate finished speaking, a group of soldiers hurriedly removed the bolt of the city gate, opened the heavy gate, and two thousand soldiers and horses walked out of the city gate and lined up on both sides to welcome Gao Shun and other troops into the city
