At this moment, Gan Ning remembered Zhou Yu's advice.
When everyone thought that Shi Xie had been captured and Shi Wu and the other three brothers were firmly seated in Jiaozhi, Zhou Yu did not take it lightly. He gave Gan Ning the best of the two hundred elites, all of whom were good players who could compete with ten.
Zhou Yu gave in to Zhi Ming and Gan Ning secretly. The two cooperated to assist the three brothers of the Shi family in controlling Longbian City.
As long as the three people from the Shi family are still here to entertain powerful people in Jiaozhou every day, then the major forces in the four counties of Jiaozhi will not act rashly.
Therefore, every day during the banquet, Gan Ning led 200 people to lurk in the dark, always paying attention to the situation in important places such as the Prefect's Mansion.
With the strength of his two hundred men, it was equivalent to letting a thousand men patrol the city. Coupled with Gan Ning's own bravery, normally no force in the city could suppress him.
However, after the banquet tonight, Gan Ning suddenly heard Bu Zhao's code.
Gan Ning knew something was wrong, and without knowing the situation in the prefect's house, he did not rush into the prefect's house to check. Instead, he used a secret signal to mobilize all his soldiers around and surrounded the prefect's house.
However, when the door of the mansion opened, he did not wait for the servants to rush out, but waited until dozens of horses rushed out.
This is obviously illogical. Although Gan Ning doesn't like to use his brain, he also understands that because of his secret code, people in the mansion must know that there are people from Jiangdong outside. Regardless of what is happening inside, if you want to break out and escape, people from the mansion must come out on horseback. If you don't want to escape, then you must keep the horses and launch a counterattack.
There was no reason to take the initiative to let something as important as a horse go for nothing.
Originally, Gan Ning was confident that with his two hundred brave soldiers, even if dozens of knights really rushed out, he would be able to withstand the impact.
However, those horses were all taken off their reins and ran around happily, which was far beyond his expectation.
Gan Ning discovered that there was something tied to each horse.
In the darkness, the fire was dim and I couldn't see what it was.
"What's coming soon?",
Gan Ning shouted, and a soldier with a good eye next to him asked in surprise: "It seems to be a letter?"
"Letter, what letter?"
Before he could react, in a moment of negligence, these horses had already wandered around the city.
"What the hell is going on!"
Gan Ning roared angrily, but the other party didn't seem to want to conflict with him head-on.
I couldn't wait any longer. Bu Zhao was a relative of Bu Lianshi and was favored by Sun Quan, so he couldn't be left behind. Moreover, the three brothers from the Shi family were still in the party, so there couldn't be any loss.
Gan Ning gritted his teeth and shouted to everyone: "Divide fifty people into chasing the horses, and follow the rest into the mansion!"
This is really a helpless move. If a man is chasing a horse, when will he catch up? But fortunately, the city is small after all, and the city gates are closed at night. As long as they can catch up to the city wall, there is always a way.
The remaining one hundred and fifty people were ready to follow him into the prefect's mansion.
Gan Ning looked up at the night, took out a loud arrow in his hand, and shot it into the sky.
With a "swish" sound, the arrow shot up into the sky, which seemed to be another secret signal.
Gan Ning waited patiently for a few breaths, but when there was no response, he frowned and kicked open the door of the prefect's mansion.
The heavy door was opened, and Gan Ning led one hundred and fifty people into the mansion.
…
Jiang Wan looked around in surprise. He and Shi Xie were now in the mansion and entered the courtyard.
The prefect's mansion occupies a huge area. There was not much to see in this courtyard. However, when Jiang Wan followed Shi Xie there, he was surprised to find that this was actually a city within the mansion.
The courtyard wall is comparable to a city wall. As long as there are people standing within the wall, it can be used as a city for defense. In addition to the stunned heroes, there are also piles of things in the courtyard, covered with black cloth. It should be early. Prepared here.
Shi Xie lifted up a piece of black cloth, and the shining swords and other objects were revealed. Next, there were small wooden hammers, cannon stones, etc.
"This... there is such a place in the house."
As expected, everyone underestimated this old fox Shi Xie.
He was just using himself as bait to clear out the civil strife in Jiaozhi.
"Just to cope with this situation!"
Shi Xie laughed loudly, picked up a shining sword, and said to Jiang Wan, "Maybe pick up the sword?"
Jiang Wan watched the seventy-year-old man holding the sword easily, and then realized that Shi Xie was actually good at both civil and military skills. He must have been a good fighter in his youth.
Regardless of whether he is deeply rooted or prepared for a rainy day, Shi Xie relies on his family's concealment to slowly encroach on the four counties. He is not a simple person. In comparison, Wu Ju, who started his career under the admiration of Liu Biao, is really not on the same level.
Of course Jiang Wan can hold a knife, but he cannot dance.
In this era, there were many people who looked more like civilians leading the army, such as Cao Cao's counselor Cheng Yu, and Jiangdong Governor Zhou Yu, but Jiang Wan was obviously not that type.
He is better at strategy than at war.
So he changed the topic and said: "The horse escaped, which probably alerted the patrolling people. And if the other party can see that there is something important right away, they will definitely find someone to chase the horse. As long as the horse is frightened, there will be horses running to the city wall, then the city The gate guard will know that something happened in the prefect's mansion. And as long as one of the dozens of horses is obtained by the city defenders, the city gate guard will know that Shiwu and others are finished."
Under his patient analysis, Shi Xie's attention was diverted and he nodded: "Then we only need to hold on for two quarters of an hour. Someone from the city gate guard will definitely come to support."
Originally, without Zhou Yu's arrangement, they could have brought the evidence of the arrest of the three soldiers and warriors to the city with great arrogance, but now they can only use this method, hoping that the city gate guard will be flexible enough.
Jiang Wan nodded: "Zhou Yu is treacherous, but he dare not keep too many people, so as not to ruin the relationship with the three soldiers and warriors. In my estimation, he can only send more than 200 people in the city at most, but these 200 people, They must all be brave people. I originally thought that a fierce battle would be necessary, but now it seems that with this thing entering the courtyard, the defense is probably safe."
There are not many Jiangdong troops left behind, and there won't be too many people chasing horses. I hope the city gate guard will discover what's going on here as soon as possible, understand the truth, and make a judgment.
This can only rely on Shi Xie's prestige over the years.
Shi Xie chuckled, as if he had returned to the time when he was young and captured the four counties. He raised his sword and said, "Then let them attack!"
Just as he was talking, Shi Jie entered the hospital and immediately said: "I am willing to defend this hospital for the general!"
"I am willing to defend this courtyard to the death for the general!"
The servants and disciples of the scholar's family shouted loudly.
An energetic voice said: "Count me in!"
Jiang Wan followed the sound and said with great joy: "Manzhou Mu has arrived!"
…
At the same time, Chen Dao stood uneasily at the top of Guangxin City.
Because Jiangdong Army had not besieged the city, they had contacted Cao Wu and already knew that the enemy army was apparently led by generals Jiang Xin, Han Dang, and Ling Tong, but in fact it was Lu Meng who was commanding.
He also has an impression of Lu Meng. He knows that he follows Zhou Yu every day, and he must be a special person.
Since nightfall, Jiangdong Army has been in commotion. Chen Dao, who has rich military experience, can tell that Jiangdong Army is about to take action.
The light at night is not good, which is even more unfavorable for siege. Night siege is only suitable for surprise attacks.
Guangxin City was brightly lit, so the enemy chief Lu Meng would not be stupid enough to attack the city openly at night.
Then, there is only one answer. At dawn, that is when the enemy launches a general attack.
At dawn, I am afraid that 30,000 people from Jiangdong will attack the city wall under Chen Dao's feet.
