The Guanfang Building in Chengdu is different from the busy scene of people coming and going in the past. Since the rebels invaded Chengdu, some wealthy families have been looted by the rebels. Few people come to Guanfang Building to eat and have fun. After all, it is a home. No one who has extra money dares to show off their wealth at this time.
The boss of Guanfang Building originally planned to close down the business, but because some senior leaders of the rebel army often held banquets in Guanfang Building, the boss did not dare to close the door without permission for fear of offending these rebellious thugs.
Fortunately, these people did not embarrass the boss and gave him money every time he came to eat. After all, the money was stolen, so you won’t feel too distressed about spending it. The more important reason is that the top girl of Guanfang House, Luolan, was adopted as the princess by the King of Shu, which made these people who came to eat fearful and did not dare to go too far.
In the private room on the second floor of Guanfang Building, Chu Lihan and Zhang Yu were toasting and changing glasses. After three drinks, the delicious food on the table was not touched much. It seemed that neither of them had much appetite.
Zhang Yu put down his wine glass and said to Chu Lihan: "Mr. Chu invited me to come down to Guanfang House for more than just a meal, right?"
Chu Lihan sighed after hearing this, put down his wine glass and said, "Hey, now that the city is besieged by a large army, and life and death are on the line, why do you think about eating? To be honest, Chu invited Privy Zhang here this time to solve the problem in Chengdu. The city’s crisis.”
"The 50,000 to 60,000 imperial troops led by Wang Jien are collecting siege weapons and supplies outside the city, and are constantly inciting and dismantling our will to defend the city. Today in the court hall, the king meant to stand firm and wait for help, but Chu thought , blindly insisting on being passive and being beaten will only further enhance the prestige of others, and our morale will be even lower. In the long run, it will only be more detrimental to us..."
Zhang Yu nodded when he heard the words, looked at Chu Lihan, and said: "What Mr. Chu said is absolutely true, so in the opinion of Mr. Chu, how should we deal with it!"
"While the enemy is not fully prepared, we send out mobile troops to take the initiative to attack and catch the enemy off guard. The enemy has gathered in a hurry and come from afar, so there will inevitably be insufficient food, grass and ordnance. If we can take the opportunity to destroy their food, grass and ordnance, our chances of winning will be even greater..." Chu Lihan said.
Zhang Yu thought for a while and thought it was feasible, but then frowned and asked: "Then how should we act specifically? Does Mr. Chu already have a plan?"
Chu Lihan smiled when he heard this and said: "Our troops are divided into two groups. You and I each lead a light cavalry, go out from the east and west gates, sneak quietly, go around to the enemy's flank, and wait for opportunities..."
After Zhang Yu heard the plan, a smile appeared on his face, and then he frowned and said: "Mr. Chu has a good plan, but this is a critical moment to defend the city. If you and I propose to lead troops to attack at this time, I am afraid that the king will I have concerns..."
"Privy Zhang, don't worry. If you and I propose to go out to fight at this time, the king will not stop him, but will be very happy. After all, we old guys are still a bit of an eyesore in front of us..." Chu Lihan smiled bitterly. , said resentfully.
Unlike Chu Lihan who joined the rebel army halfway, Zhang Yu followed Wang Xiaobo in the rebellion from the beginning, so he naturally had some concern for Li Shun and his younger generation. Seeing that Chu Lihan's words were somewhat waning, he comforted him: "Mr. Chu, you and I are all ministers of the late king who care about his life. We should work together to assist the king. Although the king is somewhat stubborn, this also shows that He wants to achieve something, which is also a good thing. We are all old and we should think about our posthumous reputation..."
Chu Lihan sighed and said: "Hey! Chu is a man of the world and does not understand the affairs of the court. After this incident, if he does not die, Chu wants to resign and go into seclusion. After all, compared to the people in the court, Lord and minister, I am still more suitable for the world..."
One evening three days later, Chu Lihan led a group of light cavalry out of the west gate, and Zhang Yu led a group of light cavalry out of the east gate. They disappeared silently into the afterglow of the setting sun, heading in different directions with infinite malice. Extend away.
At the same time, in Yujia Town, which is located in the imperial supplies camp, the grain, grass and ordnance collected from all over were placed in several villages according to different types. In order to facilitate the distinction, the military senior officers put these The villages are named Grain and Grass Camp, Ordnance Camp and Military Horse Camp according to their types.
Outside the Ordnance Camp, Rear Army Sima Han Ziyuan, who had just been transferred to be in charge of the dispatch of the supplies camp, was standing at the entrance of the camp, looking anxiously into the distance. Eight personal bodyguards followed him closely. Seeing him As if waiting for someone anxiously, a guard came forward and asked doubtfully: "I wonder what the young master is looking at? Do you need to go check it out?"
This guard was tall and tall, with leopard eyes and bulging temples that showed his extraordinary martial arts skills. This man's name was Nie Yuan, and he was famous as a "stele smasher" in Shu. In his early years, he was also a famous figure in Shu. Later, he was hunted down by his enemies. Fortunately, Han Ziyuan's father Han Wei rescued him and saved his life.
In order to repay his great kindness, Nie Yuan gave up his reputation as a famous figure in the world and willingly committed himself to the Han family and became a guard to look after the family and the courtyard. The Han family also respected him very much and entrusted the safety of the entire Han family to him.
The remaining guards are also masters that the Han family has been looking for in various places. Some are good at using spears, some are good at using eagle claws. They have different special skills, but they are all very difficult masters. These eight people take action together. , it is difficult for ordinary people to get close.
Han Ziyuan, who was the general magistrate of Hanzhou, had just been transferred to Bazhou not long ago. After Wang Jien led the imperial army to Bazhou, Han Ziyuan was temporarily transferred to the rear army Sima, mainly responsible for the dispatch and collection of grain, grass and weapons.
Just the day before yesterday, Han Ziyuan received news that the Tang family in Kaizhou was ordered to make a batch of bows and crossbows to be transported to the military supply camp. Han Ziyuan also found out through his connections in Kaizhou that the people escorting the military supplies this time were Tang Yu and Tang Feng. This made Han Ziyuan very excited. He didn't expect to meet Tang Feng, who had been longing for him here...
Han Ziyuan, who was originally in charge of commanding and dispatching the military equipment camp, handed over the work to his deputy. He ran to the ordnance camp early in the morning, followed by eight bewildered guards.
Hearing Nie Yuan ask, Han Ziyuan murmured: "Counting the days, it should be here soon. Brother Nie, could you please go and find out if there is a convoy from the Tang family coming?"
"Young Master, there is no need to worry. I'm going to check it out right now. But this place is not a safe place. For the sake of Young Master, it's better not to wander around and don't put yourself in danger. Young Master, you should go back to the camp and wait for news!" Nie Yuan said with his hands in hand! .
"Then there's Brother Lao Nie..." Han Ziyuan also bowed his hands, then looked into the distance, turned and walked towards the ordnance camp.
