There is not a single star in the night sky tonight, but the moon is surprisingly bright, reflecting some light into the pitch-black night.
North of Didao City, the mountain range that should have been peaceful was now obviously agitated.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, black shadows were constantly flashing at the foot of the mountains, and they were extremely large in number!
The whole process lasted for nearly an hour, and at least tens of thousands of people rushed out of the mountains.
"I am ordering all the troops again to keep their mouths shut. If anyone makes a noise, be careful with his head!"
Han Sui glared at his generals with a fierce expression and gave them another serious warning.
Before midnight, if there was too much noise, the defenders in Didao City might discover it.
"Zidu, what's going on in Didao City? Are there any warnings around?"
It happened that Meng Da had just returned from an inspection tour of Didao, and Han Sui immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Lord Governor, this Liu Zhang is really arrogant! The cheers in Didao City shook the world, and I could hear it from miles away!"
After Meng Da personally investigated and confirmed Didao's situation, the joy on his face could no longer be suppressed.
"Very good!"
There was such a big movement in Didao City, it must be Liu Zhang who was rewarding the three armies!
The soldiers were so drunk that they couldn't make any noise.
"Lord Governor, you don't know how exaggerated it is. The entire city of Didao is filled with the aroma of wine! Just smelling it will make people intoxicated!"
"I don't think there is any need for any strategies. I'm afraid the Yizhou army is all drunk! As long as the whole army attacks Didao, we will definitely defeat the enemy!"
Meng Da no longer wanted to wait and plan in place. In his opinion, this was the best time to advance.
"Zidu, don't talk nonsense!"
Fazheng couldn't stand it anymore and directly reprimanded Meng Da.
What does it mean that the entire city of Didao is filled with the aroma of wine? How much wine does this require?
It must be Mengda who couldn't bear the desire to make meritorious deeds and wanted to attack Didao City in advance.
Meng Da was slightly startled at first, and then looked at Fazheng with an extremely aggrieved look.
"Xiao Nao, I really didn't lie! If you don't believe me, ask the soldiers if they smell the aroma of wine?"
As long as there are people in Liangzhou, there are almost no people who can't drink, especially the army sergeants, all of them are addicted to alcohol.
"I'll go and ask myself."
Han Sui thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go and ask in person.
While Han Sui was leaving, Meng Da approached Fazheng again.
"Xiao Nao, I really didn't lie to you! This time Liu Zhang really bit the bait you put out to death and refused to let go until his death!"
"This battle is definitely no less than the Battle of Guandu! After this battle, your name of Fa Xiaozhi will spread all over the world! I would like to congratulate you first!"
No matter how sane Fazheng is, he is still just a young man in his twenties. After being praised like this by Meng Da, he suddenly felt a little elated, with a look of pride on his face.
Being able to defeat Liu Zhang, the long-famous Wei general, and kill 100,000 Yizhou troops with corpses everywhere, this kind of achievement is enough to make people crazy!
At this moment, Han Sui also walked back from the front, with the same smile on his face.
"Xiaozhi, everything Zidu said is true! Liu Zhang's 70,000-strong army is at least 50,000 drunk at this moment!"
According to the soldier's description, if there were not fifty or sixty thousand people drinking at the same time, there would certainly not be such a strong aroma.
Han Sui walked up to Fazheng, his eyes showing nothing but excitement.
Liu Zhang ordered the soldiers to drink alcohol, which showed that he had completely fallen into the trap of Fa Zheng.
"Takanao, do you want to take the opportunity to dispatch the entire army?"
This contribution was so great that even the battle-hardened Han Sui could no longer bear it. He wanted to see Liu Zhang kneeling in front of him so much.
Fazheng's chest kept rising and falling. He really wanted to nod and agree and enjoy the pleasure of defeating Liu Zhang as soon as possible.
But the last trace of reason as a wise man finally defeated the impulse.
"Lord Governor, at this time, you must stay calm!"
"It's true that the Yizhou Army is drunk, but if we attack now, maybe the Yizhou Army still has the strength to resist!"
"As long as we act according to our original plan, when we attack, they will have absolutely no power to fight back, and they will all become lambs to be slaughtered!"
Fazheng paused for a moment and looked towards the center of Didao City.
"We have made so many arrangements in Didao City and dug so many secret passages. We can't just use them to open the city gate, right?"
"In my opinion, we should follow the original plan. The entire army will lurk around Didao City. When the ugly time comes, we will send dead soldiers to set fire to the city!"
"As long as there is a spark in the place where we have set up, the entire Didao City will soon turn into a sea of flames! When the time comes, the Governor will chase and kill everyone, and he will definitely be able to annihilate the Yizhou Army!"
Ugliness is the time when people are most tired, and also the time when they are most likely to feel sleepy.
For soldiers who are extremely drunk, they will sleep even more deeply. I am afraid that if the flames are not added to them, they will not have any consciousness!
There are two paths before Han Sui.
The first way is to immediately send dead soldiers to open the city gate through the secret passage, and then 40,000 troops pour into the city.
The other way is to follow Fa Zheng's strategy and lurk around Didao City, waiting to be set on fire.
Of the two roads, the latter is undoubtedly more advantageous, but if there is a fire in the city, there is a chance that Liu Zhang will be burned to death in the city.
Considering the humiliation Liu Zhang had given Han Sui, the latter certainly wanted to capture him alive.
Fazheng seemed to see through Han Sui's heart and quickly warned him.
"Master Governor, please don't forget that after defeating Liu Zhang, Ma Tengke changed from an ally to an enemy..."
Fazheng's words were like an enlightenment that woke Han Sui up, and made Han Sui make a decision immediately.
Yes, Liu Zhang is not the only enemy!
When there is no Liu Zhang, Ma Teng's status will change dramatically in an instant.
Putting aside the distance, would Ma Teng give up Hanyang County willingly?
"Inform the entire army to proceed according to the original plan. Be careful and keep the noise to a minimum during the lurking process!"
Han Sui's voice was full of determination, and Meng Da stopped asking for trouble and chose to obey orders.
Han Sui's 40,000-strong army immediately began to move slowly. Everyone had a branch in his mouth, and even the cavalry had dismounted and walked.
The hooves of all war horses are wrapped to minimize movement.
The cavalry charge could reach the distance in a quarter of an hour, but Han Sui walked with the army for more than an hour.
But everything was within the plan, and the time just passed.
Han Sui didn't waste another minute, and immediately sent death squads into the city through a secret passage, and ordered to set fires everywhere immediately.
Waiting is often the most painful thing. Han Sui looked intently in the direction of Didao City, looking forward to that ray of fire appearing in the night sky.
