RNP Chapter 197
Chapter 197
The news soon spread to Fuling City.
Xiahoudun hurriedly summoned Chao Rui to discuss countermeasures.
"Brother Crow, you can get an idea!" Chao
Rui frowned: "What idea do you have
?" Xiahoudun said excitedly: "Liu Bei has attacked Chengdu, this is a great opportunity for us to send
troops!" Chao Rui shook his head: "Not necessarily
!" "Ah?" Xiahoudun was puzzled: "Liu Bei attacked Chengdu, can't we hold our troops still?"
"Yes!" Chao Rui nodded: " Not only do you have to stand still, but you also have to tell the prime minister that you don't need to rush to lead your troops into Yizhou!"
"Are you crazy?" Xiahoudun looked at Chao Rui in disbelief.
"This, it's a bit outrageous!" Lu Bu couldn't help but speak.
Chao Rui smiled: "What the two of you are afraid of is just Liu Bei taking Chengdu
!" "That's right!" Xiahoudun and Lu Bu nodded one after another.
Chao Rui said again: "If we defeat Liu Bei, will Liu Zhang surrender?"
Xiahoudun: "Uh..."
"Not necessarily!" Lu Bu shook his head.
"I don't think so!" Chao Rui shook his head: "Chengdu can hold on, we can't pin our hopes on Liu Zhang's surrender!" "
That makes sense!" Xiahoudun nodded.
Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "Brother Crow, what do you mean
?" Chao Rui said: "Watch the fire from the other side, let them beat Chengdu to a thousand holes!" "
What about that thing, Liu Zhang surrendered?" Xiahoudun asked.
Chao Rui smiled: "That's
a good thing!" "Is it a good thing?" Xiahoudun was even more puzzled.
Lu Bu looked at Chao Rui puzzled: "Isn't Liu Bei bigger and stronger?" Chao Rui
explained: "Even if Liu Bei captures Chengdu, it is impossible for people's hearts to stabilize at the first time, and sending troops at this time is a great opportunity
!" "Makes sense!" Lu Bu nodded.
Xiahoudun asked
: "Zhuge Liang is not stupid, why is he attacking Chengdu at this time?" Chao Rui explained unhurriedly
: "Of course Zhuge Liang is not stupid, he is gambling by doing this
!" "They have no way to retreat, they can only fight to the death
!" "Take a big gamble with us
!" Lu Bu: "Gamble?"
"That's right!" Chao Rui nodded: " Zhuge Liang bet that we would not take the opportunity to attack Chengdu, and he bet that after Liu Bei captured Chengdu, he would definitely be able to appease the army and the people in a very short time!
" "Understood, understood!" Xiahou nodded again and again, and then looked at Lu Bu again: "Do you understand?"
"I... I understand!" Lu Bu nodded.
"Really?" Xiahoudun asked Lu Bu.
"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded: "Brother Crow means that..."
Lao Mo spoke: "Wait for others to bake the meat, and then reach out and grab it to eat!" Xiahoudun
hurriedly said: "Look, the cook knows
it!" "I understand it too!" Lu Bu nodded.
Chao Rui said: "Then ask Brother Yuan to write a letter to the prime minister!"
"Okay!" Xia Houdun nodded and hurriedly came to the table to write a letter.
That night, the letter was sent to Jingzhou.
After receiving the letter, Cao Cao ordered the army to march slowly and assemble at the city of Changsha.
......
Outside Chengdu, Liu Bei's camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the civil and military gathered.
Liu Bei said: "Military advisor, we have been besieging the city for three or five days, and there has been no result so far, I am afraid that this Cao Cao will attack suddenly!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and immediately took out the letter.
"Lord, at this time, the news came from Jingzhou, Cao Cao slowed down the march, and the army gathered in Changsha City
!" "Oh?" Liu Bei was puzzled: "Cao Cao not only did not speed up the march, but slowed down?"
"That's right!" Zhuge Liang nodded.
Liu Bei asked: "Why did Cao Cao do this
?" Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao is giving us a chance!" "What?" Liu Bei was even more puzzled
: "Cao Cao gave us another chance?" "Yes!" Zhuge Liang nodded: "He is waiting for us to beat Chengdu to a thousand holes, so that we can take Chengdu by chance
!" "
Good Cao Cao, really ruthless!" Liu Bei shook his head.
Zhuge Liang nodded: "We must attack Chengdu by surprise, take Yizhou without blood, and then counterattack Cao Cao with the power of thunder, so that we can settle down, otherwise, even if we only make a mistake, we will be defeated
!" "Hey!" Liu Bei sighed: "It's difficult! Chengdu is well defended, it is not advisable to attack strongly, and it is unrealistic
to wait for Liu Zhang to surrender!" "I can only wait for Zhang Song and Fa Zheng!" Zhuge Liang gently shook the feather fan in his hand:" I'm sure they won't disappoint the lord
!" "I hope so!" Liu Bei nodded.
Just then, a soldier came to report.
"Lord, someone in Chengdu City has sent a secret letter!" Zhang
Fei took the secret letter and immediately handed it to Liu Bei.
Unwrapping the secret letter, Liu Bei read it in ten lines at a glance.
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha
!" "It's done, it's done, it's done!
It's done!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked, "Lord, is it Zhang Song's letter?"
Liu Bei nodded and hurriedly handed the letter to Zhuge Liang.
"Zhang Song has rebelled against the guards in the city, and he will open the city gate tomorrow night to welcome us into the city!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals in the big tent became excited.
Ma Chao said: "As long as our army enters the city, the soldiers and horses in Chengdu will be grass in my eyes
!" "That's right!" Guan Yu nodded: "As long as you enter the city, Liu Zhang will definitely be defeated!"
"Will there be fraud?" Mi Fang suddenly spoke.
"No!" Liu Bei shook his head: "I can trust Zhang Song and Fazheng
!" "Lord, prepare quickly!" Zhuge Liang said.
"Okay!" Liu Bei nodded and prepared overnight.
Late the next night, at the third watch, Deng Xian, the guard of the West Gate, quietly opened the city gate, and then waved the code to Liu Bei's soldiers outside the city.
After getting the code, Liu Bei immediately ordered the army to enter the city.
Liu Bei's more than 50,000 men and horses all entered the city in more than half an hour.
Fa Zheng even presented the city defense map of Chengdu as the emperor.
Liu Bei took the picture and immediately handed it to Zhuge Liang.
Guan Yu led his troops to seize the South City Gate.
Zhang Fei led his troops to seize the North City Gate.
Chen Zhi and Deng Xian led their troops to seize the East City Gate.
Liu Bei led his troops to take the state pastoral mansion and captured Liu Zhang.
"Kill, kill, kill!" tens
of thousands of soldiers and horses immediately dispersed.
At this time, Liu Zhang was still asleep.
I heard Huang Quan yelling in my ear
: "Lord, wake up, wake up!" Liu Zhang slowly opened his eyes: "What's the matter? Why did you come to my room at night
?" "Lord, something is wrong!" Huang Quan said: "Zhang Song and Fa Zheng opened the gate of the West City, and now Liu Bei has led his troops into the city!"
"What?" Liu Zhang suddenly shuddered, and the whole person sat up.
Huang Quan said, "At this moment, Liu Bei has already led his troops to run to you
!" "!" Liu Zhang shook his head and grabbed Huang Quan's arm excitedly: "What should I do now?"
"Escape!" Huang Quan said: "As long as we escape from the city and go to join the Cao army, then Liu Bei will not be able to take Chengdu
!" "Okay, good!" Liu Zhang nodded again and again.
Under the persuasion of Huang Quan, they put on coarse linen clothes, and the two did not ride horses, but went into the alleys of the city.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei led his troops to attack the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
I searched all the corners, but I couldn't find Liu Zhang.
