At the city gate, the long-closed Jiangling City Gate suddenly opened, and Yang Kan led three thousand troops and horses into Jiangling City.
When he saw the corpse at the city gate, Yang Kan's original worries were relieved a lot.
That body was not that of anyone else, but that of Li Xian, the general of the Li clan. Li Xian was implanted as Li Guang's son, and because Li Guang was in the Jin army, he was also a well-known general. Therefore, by the way, Li Xian has become somewhat famous.
Even if Zhuge Liang in the city is really ambushed, there is no need to pay such a price. In any case, this Li Xian is a general of the Li clan and comes from the same clan as Li Xiang.
If it is used as bait to win their trust, it can be replaced by a second- or third-rate general who is not famous or has no backing. If a special person like Li Xian is used as bait, Zhuge Liang and Yu Wenxian will inevitably be provoked in the future. Get into big trouble, or in other words, directly create a hidden danger for yourself. The benefits and risks are not directly proportional.
Therefore, by this time, Yang Kan had begun to believe that Yu Wenxian really wanted to surrender to them, not the so-called fake surrender!
"Yu Wenxian, it's you, the traitor!" Wang Dun, who came from the city wall, said with his teeth about to crack.
Wang Dun was an important figure in the Langya Wang family. During the Yongjia Rebellion, he, Wang Dao, Wang Kuang and others initiated the move south, and as the governor of Yangzhou, he helped Sima Rui establish his prestige in the Jiangdong region. He used the army in his hands to command generals such as Gan Zhuo, Zhou Fang, and Tao Kan, and defeated the forces of Hua Yi, Du Tao, etc., and successively took over Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Jingzhou, Guangzhou and other places, making Sima Rui's sphere of influence from Yangzhou developed to the entire Jiangnan area and eventually established the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After Wang Dun was established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he oversaw the military affairs of the six states and controlled the armies in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. He worked closely with Wang Dao both internally and externally, forming a pattern of "the king and his horse share the world." Later, in the name of killing treacherous ministers, he raised troops to attack the capital, ousted Emperor Sima Rui, and took full control of the internal and external power of the government, pushing the power of the Langya Wang family to its peak.
It was during the era of Wang Dun and Wang Dao that the Langya Wang family developed to a prosperous scale. Such a person has top-notch abilities in all aspects.
In this life, although there were many great talents, Wang Dun still achieved the top two results in his imperial examination, and was later promoted to Nanjun County Lieutenant due to his merit.
Wang Dun really knew nothing about Zhuge Liang's plans beforehand. After all, not everyone has the spirit of self-sacrifice. Even if you are willing to sacrifice yourself, you know in advance that if your acting skills are not up to par, flaws will be revealed.
Therefore, Wang Dun, who knew nothing, was the most perfect at this time.
For Zhuge Liang, if it is just a false surrender plan, it is certainly not worth sacrificing some important people or some people with special status.
But if it is to severely damage the coalition forces of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Shiji, and Liu Xiu, then it is worth paying some sacrifices.
These counselors are, in a sense, the most ruthless group of people. If it is really for their plan to succeed, not to mention just sacrificing a few people, sometimes they can even ignore the life and death of thousands of people. In other words, after these counselors succeed in making plans, it is normal for tens of thousands of people to die.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang allowed some people to become pawns for the success of Yu Wenxian's operation, and there was no possibility of letting others know about it.
Zhuge Liang's plan this time still required the cooperation of all aspects of the Jin army in Jingzhou. Therefore, after he made the plan, he had already used encrypted flying pigeon letters to contact several senior officials in northern Jingbei.
However, it was impossible for Zhuge Liang to explain in detail how Yu Wenxian gained Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in the Fei Ge Biography. After the action unfolds step by step, although people like Zhang Liang and Li Si may be able to guess something, they will never say more.
Although Wang Dun, Li Xian, and Wang Qia have some special identities, if Zhuge Liang's plan is really successful, what will the sacrifice of these people mean?
Even if Li Xiang finds out, he will definitely acquiesce in continuing this matter.
Of course, if the plan fails, then this situation will happen again!
"General Wang, good birds choose trees to roost, and ministers choose good masters to serve. Now, the destruction of Jiangling City is a foregone conclusion. Why is General so stubborn?" Yu Wenxian stared at the murderous Wang Dun, and instead spoke to persuade him to surrender.
"Presumptuous! Yu Wenxian, how can I, Wang Dun, be compared to you, a despicable and shameless person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Wang Dun cursed loudly, and directly led his soldiers to cover up and kill him.
In fact, Wang Dun wouldn't mind surrendering to the enemy if he could. He really wasn't that kind of loyal person.
However, there is so much helplessness in this world! The Wang and Li families are in-law families that have had a relationship for several generations, including Li Xiang's generation. The number of people in the Wang and Li families who have married each other is countless.
People like Wang Dun who came from aristocratic families have stood at a very high starting point from the beginning. However, most of these same people also have the consciousness to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of their family. For the development of the family, it even includes sacrificing one's own life.
Once Wang Dun chooses to surrender, Wang Zhaojun will inevitably be affected in Li Xiang's harem in the future, and their entire Jinyang Wang family will also be affected.
Therefore, Wang Dun actually had no other choice. They could only choose to fight to the death to repay the king's kindness.
"What a Jin thief, with just a few people like you, can he still want to turn the world upside down?" Yang Kan wanted to take action as soon as he spoke. Today, since he has already entered Jiangling City, there is no need to let him out again.
However, the moment Yang Kan was about to take action, Yu Wenxian was already angry and stepped forward to meet him.
Today, Yu Wenxian must let everyone in the world see that there is a complete break between him and the Jin army. They have established a blood feud with each other and there is no possibility of them getting together again.
Only in this way can we win Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in the future!
And thinking of this, the blood on his hands today must be indispensable! Moreover, when Zhuge Liang revealed his plan, Yu Wenxian was already prepared for this day!
