Liu Zhang looked around with some surprise in his eyes.
According to Xun Gou's words, Liu Xie became a loner.
"Xun Gou, you said there are only 10,000 people left in Xuchang City, and you brought them all out?"
"Are you sure there are no other soldiers?"
Xun Gou nodded repeatedly with a determined look on his face.
"Don't worry, King Qin, I will guarantee it with my head!"
"There are only a hundred old and weak people in Xuchang today, and they are all under Xiao's control! As soon as King Qin's army arrives, Xiao will immediately ask them to open the city and surrender!"
Liu Zhang frowned and was doubtful.
Things were going a little too well.
He knew the situation in Xuchang City.
But Xun Gou's sudden rebellion made no sense at all.
If you look at it according to the art of war, it is to lure the enemy deep!
If Xun Gou is the bait, there will be trouble.
The Qin army is strong, but they cannot step into it knowing it is a trap.
Liu Zhang is not that stupid!
"Xun Gou, I heard that the emperor values you very much. He would rather drive Xun Yu away than support you."
"With such kindness, why do you want to rebel?"
When Xun Gou heard this, the hatred in his eyes became even stronger.
Why would he want to rebel? But Liu Xie didn't give him a way to survive.
"King Qin, the emperor has no virtue and is not worthy of sitting on the throne. How has the world been in chaos since Liu Xie succeeded to the throne?"
"Only the King of Qin, and only a heroic master like the King of Qin, is destined by destiny!"
"The King of Qin is a descendant of the great ancestor and a clan member of the Han Dynasty. It is reasonable for him to take Liu Xie's place! Although I have no ability, I am willing to do my best to help the King of Qin!"
Liu Zhang said nothing and fell into deep thought again.
Not long after, Xu Huang came over and whispered into Liu Zhang's ear.
"King Qin, be careful of fraud."
learn from mistakes.
Xu Huang has become much more cautious since he fell into the trap repeatedly.
Today, he is not willing to take any risks.
Liu Zhang nodded and looked at Xun Gou again.
"Xungou, ask your 10,000 men to lay down their weapons and let Gude's army guard them in Linying."
"You follow Gu to Xuchang and help Gu open the city gate."
If there is fraud, Xun Gou will definitely not agree to this condition.
Liu Zhang wanted to use this order to test Xun Gou.
Who would have thought that Xun Gou agreed without even thinking about it.
"Yes! The young ones all obey King Qin's arrangements!"
Liu Zhang waved his hand.
"Go ahead."
"As you command!"
Xun Gou turned around and returned to the formation, and Liu Zhang also found Chen Wu.
"Zi Lie, how many of the Huainan Army are left?"
Chen Wu answered with cupped hands.
"Report to the King of Qin that there are still five thousand soldiers left."
"Zi Lie, Gu wants you to lead five thousand men and guard the ten thousand troops on the opposite side. Are you qualified?"
Chen Wu chuckled, full of confidence.
"Haha, why do these rebels need five thousand people?"
"With only a thousand soldiers, the general will ensure that these ten thousand people will not dare to make any mistakes!"
It's not that Chen Wu is talking big, he is really confident.
If the two armies went to war and faced these defeated generals, he would dare to charge into the battle alone!
Maybe they killed a few and dispersed in a rush.
"Zi Lie is brave if he is brave, but he must never underestimate the enemy."
Although Liu Zhang was convinced that Chen Wu could do it, he still warned him.
"I will lead the Huainan Army of five thousand troops. I will leave these ten thousand men to you."
"Thank you, King Qin, for your teachings. It will be taboo in the end."
Chen Wu did not dare to say anything and accepted the order.
He was a demoted general and his position was very awkward.
Just show your courage. If you do it forcefully, you are asking for trouble.
Chen Wu wasted no time and immediately led five thousand Huainan troops to accept the prisoners.
The result was much smoother than Chen Wu imagined.
When Xun Gou announced his surrender, the 10,000 Fu Han army was overjoyed.
Doing this is a blessing!
As long as there is no war, everything will be fine.
After escorting the prisoners back to Linying, the Qin army subsequently left the city to join Liu Zhang.
The army set off again, totaling 70,000 people, and headed for Xuchang City.
After marching for a day and night, the army successfully arrived at Xuchang City.
At this time, the defenders of Xuchang City were stunned.
Looking at the densely packed army below the city, no one dared to stand up.
Even when they reached the city gate, there was no resistance.
As Xun Gou said, either he is old or weak, or he is sick and disabled!
It was also at this time that Xun Gou began to play his role.
He just stepped forward and called to the city defender.
After an angry rebuke, the defenders did not dare to resist and had to open the city gate obediently.
Xuchang was such a fortified city that it was captured so easily.
Not even an arrow was shot!
To be on the safe side, Liu Zhang did not enter the city immediately.
On the one hand, Xu Huang and Gao Shun were ordered to lead 40,000 troops into Xuchang and seize the four city gates first.
On the other hand, 15,000 troops were ordered to go to various city gates and no one was allowed to escape.
Wait until you have everything under control and are sure that there are no dangers or tricks before proceeding to the city.
Xun Gou accompanied Liu Zhang outside the city and kept ensuring that there was no problem.
Even the number of guards in the palace and their capabilities are clearly stated.
However, Liu Zhang did not trust Xun Gou.
No matter what Xun Gou said, he only believed in the results reported by his subordinates.
Before getting a reply from Xu Huang and Gao Shun, he would not step foot into Xuchang.
The wait was long. An hour passed and there was still no news.
Xun Gou was impatient, even more anxious than Liu Zhang.
Constantly persuade Liu Zhang to enter the palace as soon as possible, otherwise things will change if he is too late.
The emperor is really not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!
Dian Wei who said the last thing was so angry that he almost grabbed Xun Gou, letting him experience the feeling of being shaken.
Only then did Xun Gou calm down.
After another half an hour, Shanshan, the Qin army soldier reporting back, arrived.
It turns out that Xu Huang and Gao Shun agreed that they should do the best and never make any omissions.
I kept checking inside and out, and it actually lasted four times!
All four city gates were taken over, and the city was repeatedly cleared.
Nothing was left out except the palace.
Under such circumstances, Liu Zhang was notified that he could enter the city.
Xun Gou was full of resentment, complaining that he had already said that there was no conspiracy.
Dian Wei glared fiercely before closing his mouth in fear.
Liu Zhang said nothing and immediately set off to lead the army into Xuchang City.
