Chapter 781
According to Zhang Zhihong's plan, Tang Yin ordered the four generals Guyue, Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan, Zhang Tong and the secret arrow personnel headed by Cheng Jin to lead 3,000 elite men of the direct army, disguise themselves as Ning Jun, wait until late at night, and sneak into Liangzhou TXT Download .
In order to prevent his own army from causing unnecessary casualties when attacking the city, Tang Yin also specifically told Guyue and others to tie black sweat towels on their arms for easy identification.
After Guyue selected three thousand elite death squads from the directly affiliated army, Tang Yin also went to inspect them personally.
These three thousand people are all strong and strong, and they are basically all over twenty-five years old. You can tell at a glance that they are experienced and brave veterans.
Tang Yin nodded while looking at it, and he praised it in his heart. He waved to Gu Yue, took him aside, and asked in a low voice: "Gu Yue, you don't have to fight in person to read the full text of this battle."
Guyue said: "The general knows that this trip is dangerous, but it is really uneasy to let the brothers under his command fight for their lives while he hides behind and enjoys the results."
Tang Yin curled his lips. The brothers who first followed him all had the same problems as him, and they could not live a stable and comfortable life.
He pondered for a moment and said: "If you insist on going, then go ahead, but you have to remember one thing, don't be too showy. If you can fight, fight. If you can't, there is no shame in running back."
Guyue smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The general will know."
Liangzhou.
Now Zhang Tong is also actively making preparations. He first found two of his confidants, one named Cui Pei and the other named Zhang Xuan. Both of them were promoted by him. When he was transferred to the north of the city as deputy general, he also took these two people with him. Come over.
Zhang Tong trusted and relied on these two people very much. After meeting, he didn't waste any extra words and said straight to the point: "There is something for you two to do tonight!"
"General, just give me your orders!" Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan had long been dead set on Zhang Tong and followed his lead.
Zhang Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I want you two to lead 3,000 elite troops out of the city at midnight tonight to sneak attack Fengying."
flutter! After hearing what he said, Cui and Zhang almost vomited blood on the spot. A sneak attack on Feng Camp with only 3,000 men, let alone whether it would be successful, was simply looking for death! The two of them looked at each other with ugly expressions, and they were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhang Tong smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, there is no danger in this sneak attack, at least for you two, there is no risk."
"Oh? Why did the general say that?"
Zhang Tong hesitated and did not speak immediately. If you let them go, you have to tell them the truth, but this is a treasonous thing. It is uncertain whether they will accept it or whether they will tell the truth secretly!
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Tong took a chance and decided to take the risk. He said: "Take the three thousand brothers around to the back of Feng Camp outside the city. There is a large forest there. Just enter it and let the brothers stop where they are. However, you two must immediately settle down the brothers below. Come out and go back to the main entrance of the Feng camp. There are three thousand Feng troops dressed up as our troops waiting for you. You two take these three thousand Feng troops back to the city. When you enter the city, you say that the enemy camp is on guard, so you make a sneak attack. Cancel and withdraw all soldiers."
ah? Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan took a breath and lured the Feng army into the city? Isn't this treason?
"General, what are you..."
"The reason why Feng and Mo Kingdoms want to use troops against Ning is because Yan Chu is disrespectful to the emperor and has a disobedient heart. The emperor and His Highness King Feng have already promised to Prime Minister Zhang that as long as he assists the Feng army in conquering Liangzhou and severely punishes Yan Chu, he will Let Zhang Xiang be the new monarch of Ning State. Zhang Xiang is my uncle, and Zhang Xiang is the king. I am a relative of the king, and my future is limitless. You two are my confidants. If I become famous, you two will also prosper. , Do you want to help me? Let’s say something nice now!” After saying this, Zhang Tong stared at the two of them without blinking, his hands were placed behind him, and his spiritual energy was already condensed in his palms.
Oops, it turns out that Zhang Tong and Zhang Zhihong are secretly colluding with Feng Guo! Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan didn't know until this moment that the master they were assisting turned out to be a traitor to Ning Guo.
But then I thought about it, if Zhang Tong became a relative of the king, he would definitely get a lot of benefits. At least he could become a lieutenant general or a general. Moreover, Zhang Tong had already made it clear that such a big If he doesn't agree to the matter, how can he let him go?
The two of them didn't think about it for too long. They both knelt down and said in unison: "The general is deeply grateful for the general's kindness. He has already made up his mind to follow the general to the death. No matter where the general goes, the general is willing to lead the horse for the general. Stirrup, go up the mountain of swords, go down into the sea of fire, no matter what!"
"Okay!" Zhang Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart dropped as he raised his throat. He dispersed the spiritual energy in his hands, stepped forward, helped the two of them up, and said with emotion: "You two are indeed worthy of me. Trust me, when things are done, I guarantee that you two will prosper and have a bright future!"
"Thank you, General!" Cui and Zhang saluted and thanked him again.
People go to higher places, and water flows to the bottom. In the face of interests and integrity, most people will probably choose the former.
That night, late at night.
Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan took Zhang Tong's military orders and went to the Beicheng military camp to bring out 3,000 elite men to prepare for leaving the city.
Before they could leave the city gate, they were stopped by someone, the deputy general of Beicheng City Defense, Liu Ren.
Liu Ren had just been sent to Beicheng as a deputy general by Zuo Xiang Gaomo. He was in his early forties and had average martial arts, but he had an extraordinary mind and was proficient in military tactics. He was a general who was accustomed to fighting.
Originally, Zhang Tong did not arrange for him to be on duty tonight and asked him to go home to rest, but Liu Ren felt that he had just arrived in Beicheng and did not understand the situation here. Moreover, now that the Feng army was approaching the city and the situation was critical, he really couldn't sleep at home, so he He simply came to the north city for inspection, but he happened to catch up with Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan leading three thousand Ning troops to open the city gate and leave the city.
Liu Ren was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, shouting: "Don't open the city gate!"
Hearing the words, Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan frowned secretly. They both turned around and saw Liu Ren running over in a hurry. Their frowns deepened.
Didn't the general send Liu Ren away? Why is he back? The two of them were puzzled, and secretly hated Liu Ren for meddling in other people's business, but on the surface they had to salute him respectfully. After all, he was a deputy general, a rank higher than the two of them.
"General Liu!"
"Generals Cui and Zhang, what are you two doing?" After Liu Ren came closer, he stood directly in front of the two of them, and his vigilant eyes swept over the two of them.
Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan are not afraid of him, after all, they have Zhang Tong as their backer. The two of them smiled slightly and said, "As General Liu sees it, we are leaving the city!"
"The king has an order that no one, no matter what the reason, is allowed to leave the city. Don't you two know this?" Liu Ren said in a deep voice.
"Haha!" Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan sneered and said, "General Liu does not need to use the king to suppress us, we are also following orders."
"On orders? On whose orders?"
"Yes..." Cui Pei and Zhang Xuangang were about to answer. At this time, a man slowly walked down from the top of the city and said loudly: "This is by order of my general!"
Hearing the sound, Liu Ren was secretly surprised and hurriedly looked for fame. The man walking down from the top of the city was none other than his immediate boss, Zhang Tong.
Is it Zhang Tong's order? ! Liu Ren inhaled while not forgetting to show his courtesy. He cupped his hands and said, "General Zhang!"
"Yes!" Zhang Tong waved his hand gently as a gesture.
Liu Ren straightened up and asked, "I wonder why General Zhang sent General Cui and General Zhang out of the city at night?"
Zhang Tong sneered and asked, "Do I still have to report my decision to you?"
Liu Ren's body trembled and he said hurriedly: "The general will not dare!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Tong walked down the steps of the city wall, walked up to Liu Ren, and said slowly: "Tonight, I am going to sneak attack Fengying."
"Ah?" Liu Ren's face was full of confusion. He didn't know what happened to Zhang Tong suddenly. Why did he want to sneak attack on Fengying?
Seeing his confusion, Zhang Tong said proudly: "Feng Ren just planned to kill General Gao, and now he is complacent and arrogant. Feng Ying is also unprepared. Our army will make a sneak attack tonight and succeed with one blow!"
Liu Ren didn't know where he came to this conclusion, and couldn't help but ask: "How did General Zhang know that Fengying had neglected to take precautions?"
Zhang Tong smiled and said proudly: "I have my own spies stationed outside the city."
Liu Ren couldn't refute what he said, but he still felt that it was inappropriate to leave the city rashly. He said seriously: "General Zhang, I think this matter should be reported to the king first, and then wait until the king makes a decision..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Tong waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't miss the opportunity, it will never come back. If the opportunity is delayed, who will be responsible? You get out of the way quickly. When our army breaks through the wind camp, your share will be indispensable." military merit."
"But……"
"Don't be wordy, this is an order!" As he spoke, Zhang Tong raised his hand and held the sword at his waist.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death. Zhang Tong was only half a level older than Liu Ren, but it was enough to crush him to death.
Liu Ren had no choice but to step aside under Zhang Tong's glare. Seeing him get out of the way, Zhang Tong raised his head and shouted to Ning Jun in the city gate tower above his head: "Open the city gate!"
Following his order, the Thousand Jin Gate was activated, the city gate was opened, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered. The three thousand Ning Army led by Cui Pei and Zhang Xuan silently left Liangzhou City, using the cover of night to quickly The ground moved toward Fengying, and soon, people disappeared into the darkness.
As soon as they left, Liu Ren couldn't wait to give the order to quickly pull the suspension bridge and close the city gate.
Zhang Tong glanced at him coldly, said nothing, and walked back to the top of the city along the steps with his hands behind his back.
Liu Ren pondered for a moment, then quickly caught up with Zhang Tong, and followed Zhang Tong to the top of the city.
Zhang Tong held the arrow stack with one hand, looked out of the city, and said without looking back: "General Liu, if I remember correctly, it seems that I did not ask you to inspect the city defense tonight."
