When the news of Fu Hui's decision to report Jin Yong City to Xu Zongwen reached Guanyi, it was already close to Haishi. Xi Jian had already fallen asleep and was suddenly woken up by his entourage. He wrote a handwritten letter overnight and sent it with Fu Hui's official documents. Cheng, please teach Xu Zongwen to know this good news as soon as possible.
Xi Jian was wearing a thin white coat and was about to take a nap when another noise came from outside the room. The entourage reported that Shen Chong, the captain of Luoyang City, was coming to visit. Xi Jian had just laid down, but before his head touched the fragrant wood pillow, suddenly Being called out again, he couldn't help but cursed Niang Xipi.
Speaking of this, Niang Xipi was related to Xu Zongwen. When he was in Linzi City that day, Han Ji suddenly besieged the city. Xu Zongwen saw that the county soldiers were like ants, so he cursed Niang Xipi towards the city.
I have to say that although Xipi Xijian doesn’t know what it means, it’s quite fun to use foul language.
The eyes of the entourage who were guarding him all brightened up. They were all soldiers from Beifu and were originally from near Kuaiji. Xi Jian scolded that the phrase "Niang Xipi" was really similar to their dialect. Unexpectedly, Mr. Keeper, who seemed to be a gentle and gentle man, I also scold my mother.
"Do you still want me to have a full sleep in the middle of the night? Why do you want to let everyone in?"
"Sir, it's not that I'm ignorant of the world. It's just that Shen Chong has a sallow face. He can't be driven away or blasted away. So he said he must see Sir. There's really nothing I can do..." The attendant had a grimace on his face, like a wilted cucumber. He couldn't even keep his spirits up in the middle of the night.
Xi Jian curled his lips, shook his head, took the cloak from his entourage, put it on casually and left the room.
"Where is the person?" Xi Jian looked around and found no one for a long time, complaining with some dissatisfaction.
Are the followers also wondering? The person was still at the door just now, but after just a few breaths, the person left. What a ghost!
Xi Jian and others were searching hard, when a tall, strong, but timid man came close to the wall.
"Sir, Mr. Promise Keeper."
A few people looked back and saw that they were far away in the horizon and close to the crowd. After looking for a long time, they didn't see anyone. They were nestled in the corner early!
"Are you Shen Chong?" Xi Jian's suspicious eyes scanned the person in front of him from top to bottom, and he asked suspiciously while stroking his short beard.
The visitor nodded desperately, and several people looked around. After finding nothing unusual, they entered the room and closed the door.
"The villain Shen Chong has met Mr. Keeper of the Promise." Shen Chong straightened his back, then immediately bent down and bowed to Xi Jian in a polite manner.
"Ha Qiu—" Xi Jian untied his cloak, sat on the couch, and yawned, "Are you the Captain Shen Chong who insists on seeing me tonight?"
Shen Chong nodded repeatedly and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry for disturbing you sir late at night, but I really want to join General Xu, so I came here to see you sir."
Hearing Shen Chong say that he wanted to seek refuge with Xu Zongwen, Xi Jian opened his eyes, stood up and picked up the oil lamp from the wooden table next to the soft couch. He brought the light closer to Shen Chong, who touched his nose and hid, for fear of being Burned, Xi Jian circled around Shen Chong several times and asked again and again: "Are you really going to join my general? Are you not afraid of Duke Pingyuan's punishment?"
Shen Chong waited until Xi Jian returned to the couch and sat down, then he raised his head and replied with a sincere face: "This villain is really loyal to the general. If there is any lie, I will be struck by thunder from heaven and I will die badly!"
"Speaking of which, the villain has been a subject of the Jin Dynasty for generations. His ancestors and father both worked as swordsmen and pen officials in the Jin Dynasty. The villain was born in Luoyang since he was a child, so he has no chance to serve his motherland. Now General Xu leads the Wang Division to fight Lian Jie has shown the majesty of the imperial court and the Han family. The villain admires him wholeheartedly and hopes to serve the general. I just hope that the general will not care about the villain because he is a subordinate and has a grudge..."
"Don't worry about this. My general has a benevolent heart and never kills indiscriminately. Those who die in his hands are either corrupt officials or people who endanger the party and do many evil deeds. The general never cares about his origin when recruiting talents, and he only promotes talents. You Put your heart in your stomach." Xi Jian said. According to his observation, Shen Chong's behavior has been the same since he entered the room until now. He can rule out the details that Fu Hui sent to test him, so he spoke frankly. tell.
Hearing Xi Jian's words, Shen Chong felt confident. He knew that this time he made the right bet!
Later, Shen Chong told Xi Jian all the inside information he knew about Luoyang's defense, and promised to lead a thousand of his brothers to serve as Xu Zongwen's internal agents in attacking Luoyang City.
Xi Jian asked him not to act rashly. He only needed to find the inn closest to the main entrance of the North Gate of Luoyang, dig five feet deep, and quietly dig a tunnel toward the North Gate of Luoyang. Xi Jian repeatedly asked him to keep it secret at this time, and asked him to He selected strong and central men to take charge of this matter.
Shen Chong patted his chest and promised that he would never make a mistake. He was not asked to fight with the Qin army guarding the city gate. It was just digging a tunnel. How difficult could it be? If he messed up even this matter, he would be ashamed.
After the two discussed it, Shen Chong deliberately climbed over the outer wall of the hotel to avoid being followed.
"Send someone to follow Shen Chong and watch carefully!" In order to avoid making mistakes, Xi Jian still kept one trick in mind. After all, siege is a major event and cannot be careless. If there is a problem with one of the joints, it will affect the overall situation!
Outside Jin Yong City, Zhuge Kan led 2,000 men to formally hand over to the Qin army, and the Jin army took over and occupied Jin Yong City.
This was the first time Zhuge Kan encountered the enemy coming to the city before the battle started. He was high-spirited and confident. He must be the first to attack Luoyang this time!
In the previous battle of Tancheng, when Zhang San acted as a spy and opened the city gate to conquer the counties of Donghai County, Shen Yu overpowered him. Zheng Lue independently led his troops to capture Guangqi, which eclipsed him! In the Battle of Pengcheng, Shen Yu, Zheng Lue, Tian Luo, and Zhang Gui all made equal contributions to him. When they sent troops from Guanggu to Linzi, Shen Yu and Zheng Lue accidentally defeated the prefect of Changguang at Niushoushan. Jiang Guo and other more than 10,000 county soldiers captured several prefects alive. He, Tian Luo and Zhang Gui led the troops on an outing and only harvested some remnant soldiers and defeated generals along the way. They did not eat any meat, but drank some soup.
This time, Shen Yu and Zheng Lue were both in Yanzhou, and Xu Zongwen appointed him as the vanguard. As long as he successfully captured Luoyang City, he would become famous in one battle!
Luoyang City was the former capital of the Jin Dynasty. This battle was a God-given opportunity. He told himself countless times in his heart that he must not miss it, that he must fight this battle well and show his skills in front of Xu Zongwen and the people of the world...
"Brothers, take over the city!" Zhuge Kan shouted loudly, and all the soldiers were inspired. They all entered Jinyong City arrogantly and quickly occupied all the city gates.
