More than 50,000 Western Han soldiers poured into Xuchang City at once, causing the barracks to be overcrowded, so senior generals including Yang Su, Zhang Xutuo, Deng Ai and others all stayed in this mansion that originally belonged to Cao Ren.
It was early summer, and the moonlight was shining brightly, as if a layer of frost and snow had been sprinkled on the ground.
The Eastern Han army has already approached the city, so Yang Su divided the 60,000 defenders in the city into three teams, each with 20,000 people, led by Zhang Xutuo, Deng Ai, and Cao Zhen, and took turns to go up the wall to defend it to the death, and must hold on until the reinforcements arrive.
Otherwise, if Xuchang is lost, it will be a catastrophe for Cao Wei and the Western Han Dynasty Zhang Xutuo was ordered to defend the first half of the night, starting from the evening and ending in the early morning, a total of four hours; Then Deng Ai led his troops to take over the defense, from the time of Yin to the next day, and finally by Cao Zhen, which lasted from noon in the morning to the early hours of the evening.
This kind of deployment is roughly equivalent to the three shifts of the factory before Liu Wei crossed, and the advantage is that it can ensure the spirit of the defenders to the greatest extent, so that the troops on the city wall have enough defensive strength to wait until the Han army attacks the city and then redeploy.
With Yang Su's understanding of Yue Fei, he should not rush to attack, otherwise with the height of Xuchang City and the 60,000 soldiers and horses in the city, even if Yue Fei's 100,000 Han troops are all gone, they will not be able to break the city.
"Hmph, of course, I didn't think that Yue Fei had the possibility of taking Xuchang from beginning to end."
Sitting in the lobby that once belonged to Cao Ren, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Yang Su couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.
I have more luck this year, since the beginning of spring, I have been beaten by Yue Fei continuously, and I have retreated from the section where I was killed near Wancheng, and I have been driven to Xuchang by Yue Fei, which is embarrassing enough.
But Yang Su still thinks that he is not weaker than Yue Fei, as the so-called victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and it is normal for masters to win and lose in the game.
The reason why he lost so embarrassingly this year was that in addition to Sun Bin's addition to strengthen the shortcomings of Yue Fei's strategy, Yu Ban, a pig teammate, also dragged himself back.
In addition, this year's drought has significantly reduced the amount of water drawn from the Yellow River, which also makes Yang Su, who is good at water attack, unable to give full play to the advantages of water warfare.
"If it was fighting in the Yangtze River Basin, I would definitely fight Yue Fei all over the ground looking for teeth" Yang Su took a sip of the teacup, his face full of regret, "It's a pity, God won't help me, I haven't waited for the opportunity to drink the Yangtze River."
If he lost to Yue Fei in the field, Yang Su could accept it, after all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, let alone such a strong opponent.
But if defending the city is still no match for Yue Fei, Yang Su will definitely not be able to accept it "Since ancient times, I have attacked the city three times, attacked it five times, and pulled it ten times I have 60,000 soldiers in my hands, and Yue Fei is no more than 1230,000 horses. " Yang Suhuang leisurely picked up the tea bowl and walked to the window to look at the scenery in the courtyard, the garden is full of flowers, the moonlight is bright, the corridor pavilion is Xuanxie, the flying pavilion is Liudan, compared with the magnificent Luoyang, there is a unique charm, and now this city belongs to itself.
"I helped Cao Cao carry Yue Fei for two or three years, so it's not too much to ask you for a Xuchang in return."
Yang Su suddenly raised his head and drank all the tea in the tea bowl, strode to the front of the wall and ripped off the hanging Cao Cao's handwritten calligraphy: "From today on, this Xuchang will be surnamed Yang."
What he said to Cao Zhen during the day cannot be said to be true, but it is absolutely alarmist, it is based on the loss of Xuchang, and in fact, Yang Su believes that as long as he defends the city with all his strength, the possibility of Yue Fei taking Xuchang is zero.
"If you don't scare Cao Zhen like this, how can he obediently hand over the power of Xuchang" Yang Su threw Cao Cao's calligraphy into the corner, turned around and sat down behind the bookcase, picked up the teapot and poured the tea bowl full.
At this time and then, if Xuchang was Cao Cao's, he would definitely not defend to the death, and he would retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass if he could keep it.
And now that Xuchang has become his own bag, he will naturally arch the Acropolis at all costs, so that Yue Fei will return "Hmph, from another point of view, Cao Apu exchanged Xuchang for half of the country, and this deal is actually very cost-effective.
If I withdraw from Xuchang, Yue Fei can completely drive straight into the city of Ye County.
Yang Su took a sip of tea and said calmly.
At this moment, a captain came to report: "Qi Yang Gong, General Cao Zhen has led 500 soldiers to Yu Ban's house to arrest his family, and the junior colonel has come to report it." ” "Stupid" Yang Su hurriedly put down the tea bowl in his hand, walked out of the living room quickly, turned over his horse, and led his entourage straight to Yu Ban's mansion.
"Hey, hey, this is God help you and me" Seeing the hustle and bustle in the mansion, Yang Su led more than 100 people out of the mansion in a chaotic manner, and Liu Yu and Ling Tong, who were carrying lanterns and pretending to patrol, were secretly happy in their hearts.
Liu Wuji and Ling Tong infiltrated Xuchang City five or six days ago on Sun Bin's order, and everything was as Sun Bin expected, because many members of the Cao family were requisitioned to defend the city, so Cao Zhen ordered people to go to the streets to recruit servants, and the huge mansion always needed someone to take care of and clean.
Liu Wuji and Ling Tong, dressed in disguise and ragged clothes, came to answer the call, claiming that their parents were dead and their lives were unsustainable, begging to sell themselves into Cao's mansion as slaves, just to beg for a bite to eat.
Yue Fei's army pressed the border, and the people in the city were panicked, and they didn't know if there was fifteen after the first day of the new year, so the leader who was responsible for recruiting servants didn't ask carefully, and the two teenage children could make anything with a stroke of a pen, so they put Liu Yu and Ling Tong in Cao Ren's mansion and were responsible for cleaning the courtyard.
After the two teenagers patiently stayed in Cao's Mansion for four or five days, they saw Yang Su leading the army to withdraw into Xuchang and stay in Caoren's Mansion with some generals.
Zhang Xutuo is in the light, Liu Wuji is in the dark, Zhang Xutuo didn't see Liu Wuji dressed as a servant, but Liu Wuji has been eyeing this guy who once wanted to recognize himself as a righteous son as soon as Zhang Xutuo entered Cao's mansion.
Liu Wuji was worried about how to send the letter to Zhang Xutuo, so Zhang Xutuo put down his bags and led a few cronies to go to the city wall to defend the city, and he didn't return until the second half of the night.
Liu Wuji and Ling Tong were overjoyed, and waited patiently until it was dark, then pretended to patrol the night with lanterns, and walked quietly towards Zhang Xutuo's room.
At this moment, Yang Su suddenly pushed the door and walked out, and brought a group of cronies out to stop Cao Zhen from arresting people, which suddenly made the courtyard much quieter, and Liu Wuji and Ling Tong were naturally even more happy.
After seeing Yang Su and the others go out, Ling Tong and Liu Wuji carried lanterns, pretended to be on duty at night, and swaggered to the door of Zhang Xutuo's bedroom.
With Ling Tong letting out the wind under the corridor, Liu Wuji tiptoed a few tentatively and pushed the window a few times, and easily pushed open the window sash that he had done in advance when he was cleaning, and quickly turned over and entered.
Liu Wuji glanced around the room, quickly locked his target on Zhang Xutuo's open package, took out the letter from his bosom and stuffed it into the clothes, then covered it up a little, and then quietly exited the room.
"Hehe, it's done, next you just need to spread rumors, and Yang Su will send someone to Zhang Xutuo's room to arrest someone."
Liu Wuji gestured to Ling Tong, and the two quickly left the corridor and returned to the courtyard where the servants lived.
Cao Ren's mansion is not only for the family to live in, but also for Cao Ren's military yamen, so the scale is grand, and the number of family members in the house reaches more than 500 at the maximum.
Even though most of them have now been requisitioned to guard the city walls, there are still more than 200 people who are responsible for cleaning the courtyard, guarding the courtyard, and doing all kinds of chores.
Liu Wuji and Ling Tong acted separately, and soon spread the rumor, saying that they had picked up a letter at the door of Zhang Xutuo's room this afternoon, and the words "Yue Fei, the great general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, sent it to General Zhang Xutuo in person" were written on the envelope.
At that time, Zhang Xutuo was sweating profusely, and after returning the letter to Zhang Xutuo, he received a reward of broken gold, which was more than three years' wages, which was really an unexpected windfall.
The speaker has a heart, and the listener has an intention.
These servants listened to Liu Wuji's colorful description, some people were envious, some people secretly cursed Xiaobi cub's luck, and some people began to use their brains, if the news of Zhang Xutuo's collusion with Yue Fei was stabbed out, this would not be a piece of broken gold The three of them became tigers, and the rumors began to ferment in less than half an hour.
In order to prevent this good thing from falling on his head, Cao Qian, who was in charge of managing these servants, decided to strike first, and immediately went out to find Cao Zhenyu to report.

When he came to Cao Zhen's mansion, he knew that Cao Zhen had led his troops to Yu Ban's house to arrest people, so he went straight to Yu Ban's mansion in a hurry.
Torches flickered around the Forbidden Mansion, and there was a lot of noise.
Cao Zhen led 500 soldiers to surround the forbidden mansion overnight, and the six wives and concubines, fifteen children, and more than 70 servants and maidservants were all driven to the street, ready to go to prison, and at this time Yang Su led his troops to rush over.
Cao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "It's just to catch the family of a rebel general, how dare you bother Yang Gong to come in person" Yang Su waved his hand: "Stupid, even if you kill Yu Ban's family, what does it do, but it will strengthen Yu Ban's determination to serve the Eastern Han Dynasty, and if you treat Yu Ban's family members well, it will make him feel guilty, at least he will not die to serve the Eastern Han Dynasty."
And if it persists, it will also cause Yue Fei and others to doubt the sincerity of Yu Ban's surrender."
Cao Zhen was like an initiation, and he bowed his hand and said: "Thank you Yang Gong for your advice, it is indeed a short-sighted young general."
After Cao Zhen thanked Yang Su, he waved his hand and instructed his soldiers to put Yu Ban's family members home, leaving only a few maids and servants to serve, and all the others were confiscated.
Family members who are not allowed to be embarrassed without their own instructions, but they are not allowed to enter and leave without permission, and all daily necessities are purchased by designated personnel. t1706231537:
