Cai Yong sighed deeply.

Cai Yong was also stupid. Other officials, big and small, avoided seeing Jian Yong. Because Liu Bei scolded all the officials in the court, no one dared to make friends with Liu Bei's people against the public's anger.

Cai Yong's political acumen is really poor.

——

Jian Yong, who suddenly heard the bad news, didn't know what to do. Jian Yong's first thought was to go out of the city to discuss with Zhang Fei.

But when Jian Yong arrived at the city gate and saw the closed city gate, Jian Yong suddenly remembered that the city gate would be closed at night.

Jian Yong looked at the city gate that was heavily guarded from a distance. Jian Yong moved his eyes upward and looked at the battlements.

At this time, Jian Yong suddenly remembered that when Guan Yu attacked Julu City at night, the soldiers held the coins in their mouths, carried ladders, grappling hooks and nooses, and silently climbed up to the top of the city in the middle of the night.

Guan Yu conquered the fortified city of Julu, which was several feet high, in one night, which was a miraculous feat.

Thinking of this, Jian Yong made up his mind.

After leaving the city gate, Jian Yong went back and hurriedly summoned the people distributed in the city. After gathering the people, Jian Yong sent his men to split up to find the long ladder rope grappling hook.

After a long time, when the night was getting darker, Jian Yong led everyone to cautiously approach the dimly lit area of ​​the city, and observed in the dark for a long time. When he found that there were few people on duty at the top of the city, Jian Yong ordered his people to set up a long ladder, and he carried

Rope, climb up carefully.

The walls of Luoyang City are extremely tall, and the long ladder found in a hurry cannot reach the battlements.

When he climbed to the top of the ladder, he found that it was far less than the battlements. At this time, Jian Yong belatedly remembered what the young military advisor said when explaining the night attack on Julu City. The young military advisor talked about the weapon for climbing the city. If you use a grappling hook,

The sound of the hook hitting the stone is easily exposed; if a rope is used, the rope is light and difficult to reach high; and if a flying arrow is used to drag the rope, the flying arrow is difficult to shoot into the bricks, and the flying arrow hits the city bricks, which is also easy to be exposed.

Therefore, when attacking the city at night, it is best to thread the straw rope with iron wire. In this way, the iron increases the weight of the rope and is easy to apply force. It can be thrown to extremely high heights. Moreover, it is protected by hemp rope and the rope sleeve hits the battlements.

, the sound is slight.

At that time, after listening to the story of the young military advisor, Jian Yong disagreed. Jian Yong thought that it was just a noose, and it didn't take so much effort.

At this time, when Jian Yong was about to cross the fortified city of Luoyang in person, Jian Yong realized how difficult it was to cross the city silently.

Jian Yong had to climb down from the ladder. The city wall was too high, the ladder was too short, and the rope was too light, so he couldn't do it.

Later, Jian Yong had to spend a lot of time and energy to find more ladders and hastily connected the ladders together. With longer ladders, Jian Yong imitated Guan Yu's method of attacking the city. Jian Yong sent people to kill the pig shop.

I bought a three-tooth iron hook. The three-tooth iron hook is shaped like a ship anchor, which is convenient for hooking.

When everything was ready, Jian Yong and his people started taking action again.

In the dark night, in a hidden corner of the city wall, a long ladder was leaning against the city. A black figure slowly climbed up to the top. When he climbed to the top, the black figure grabbed an iron hook and threw it upwards with all his strength.

The iron hook hit the city wall with a clang. The sudden sound frightened Jian Yong so much that he dared not move.

After waiting cautiously for a long time, Jian Yong dared to continue trying.

Jian Yong had never climbed high and crossed the city before, so he was very unfamiliar with it. In addition, the city wall of Luoyang was too high, so it was difficult for the iron hook to be hung on the battlements. After being thrown dozens of times, the iron hook jingled with the city wall.

After hitting it dozens of times, the hook was finally stable.

Jian Yong pulled the rope hard to make sure the hook was secure. He took his feet off the ladder, stepped on the city wall, and climbed up carefully.

The city wall was steep and there was nowhere to draw strength from. Jian Yong was afraid that he might accidentally fall down, and he was also afraid that if there were soldiers patrolling the city, Jian Yong was extremely nervous and frightened.

Fortunately, although Jian Yong was a scholar, he was a scholar in the Han Dynasty and was very good at riding and swordsmanship. Jian Yong had outstanding strength and finally climbed up without any danger.

After standing firm on the battlement, Jian Yong wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Everyone, go away!" Jian Yong shouted downwards in a low voice.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps below, and Jian Yong went to the other side of the city wall without stopping.

Climbing the city is difficult, but descending is easy.

Jian Yong tied the rope to the battlement and slipped down along the rope.

Outside Luoyang City, there was a deep moat with water in it. Jian Yong swam across the moat and was soaked all over. He climbed to the shore and looked back at the dark city wall. The ropes were still hanging on the battlements.

There is no way to take it back.

Jian Yong didn't care to stop and ran towards the rebel camp.

——

On the way, Jian Yong was thinking about how he should explain to Zhang Fei. When he left Luoyang, the military adviser had informed him of all the plans. Jian Yong knew that from the moment Liu Bei entered Luoyang alone, Zhang Fei began to prepare "

"Conspiracy".

Once there is a change in the city, Zhang Fei will immediately sweep all directions. After Zhang Fei has swept hundreds of thousands of people, he will besiege Luoyang and force peace with war.

Jian Yong was worried and confused. He didn't know whether he should tell Zhang Fei the truth. With Zhang Fei's violent temper, once he found out that Liu Bei was careless about his life or death, Zhang Fei would probably be so angry that he would just start an army regardless.

When necessary, it is necessary to raise troops and fight to force peace.

But it was difficult for Jian Yong to judge. He didn't know whether the current situation was a last resort or not.

Liu Bei hit the wall, but he didn't know whether Liu Bei was alive or dead. He also didn't know how the emperor would deal with Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei is not in serious trouble, if the emperor has no ill intentions towards Liu Bei, then if he rashly tells Zhang Fei the news about Liu Bei hitting the pillar, then if Zhang Fei launches a riot, this will actually bring Liu Bei to death.

Dangerous situation.

The situation now is completely dark. We don't know whether Liu Bei is alive or dead, nor what the emperor's attitude is towards Liu Bei. The situation at this time is different from any situation planned in advance.

If Liu Bei was captured and imprisoned as soon as he entered Luoyang, then there would have been prepared countermeasures to deal with this situation.

If Liu Bei is put under house arrest as soon as he enters Luoyang, there are countermeasures.

Liu Bei had countermeasures for life, countermeasures for death, countermeasures for dying, and countermeasures for life and death.

But Li Mengxi had planned all kinds of things, but he never imagined that Liu Bei would bump into a pillar himself. This created an unusual situation where Liu Bei's life and death were unknown and the Han Emperor's attitude was unknown.

How to deal with this unexpected sudden change depends entirely on Jian Yong's judgment.

Jian Yong's thoughts were confused. He thought a lot along the way but could not make up his mind.

Unknowingly, Jian Yong arrived at the rebel camp. Unknowingly, Jian Yong was shouted down by the soldiers guarding the camp, and he came to his senses.

When the soldiers guarding the camp saw it was Jian Yong, they let him go without stopping him.

Jian Yong walked straight towards the Chinese army's tent. The lights were brightly lit in the Chinese army's tent. Jian Yong entered the tent. He glanced around but could not see Zhang Fei. Jian Yong could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. He had not yet decided whether to tell Zhang Fei.

After learning the truth, Jian Yong was overwhelmed by the overwhelming decision. Zhang Fei was not around, so he didn't have to make a decision right away, so Jian Yong got a chance to breathe.

After calming down, Jian Yong saw that in the Chinese army's large tent, the ground was covered with large and small papers. Papers were spread all over the floor, and a group of scholars were lying on the ground writing something.

Jian Yong took a closer look and saw what seemed to be a huge map. Jian Yong was very curious. He asked everyone, "How many people are here?"

The scholar who was immersed in drawing the map looked up and replied, "I am filling in the map according to the order of the third general."

Jian Yong didn't know what this filled-in picture meant. However, Jian Yong glanced at it and found that the picture was really big.

The matter was urgent and he could not be distracted. Jian Yong left the Chinese military tent and asked the adjutant of the camp where Zhang Fei was. Jian Yong asked for a horse, got on its back and hurried off to find Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was currently somewhere eleven miles away from the camp.

On the first day after Liu Bei entered the city, Zhang Fei had already investigated the terrain in detail and found that the area was eleven miles in radius with the camp as the center.

The investigation speed cannot be so fast in one day, it is all accumulation. A large amount of basic information collection has been completed by the soldiers who entered Luoyang first. Zhang Fei only needs to focus on the basic information to explore the dangerous terrain and other key points.

Therefore, in less than a day, all the villages, roads, dangerous terrain and other information in a radius of 11 miles were checked.

Late at night, when Jian Yong hurriedly found Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was supervising the soldiers digging trenches at an intersection surrounded by high hills on both sides.

Seeing Jian Yong coming, Zhang Fei immediately asked, "Xianhe, is eldest brother okay?"

In the flickering light of the torch, Jian Yong looked at Zhang Fei's profile. He struggled for a moment, hesitated again and again, and did not dare to tell Zhang Fei the truth directly.

Jian Yong asked indirectly, "Yide, if we want to mobilize troops tomorrow, what is the chance of success?"

Zhang Fei looked back and said in a rough voice, "How about tomorrow if we want to mobilize our troops? It would be better to do it tonight, at night?"

Jian Yong was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, in the army, it is easy to blow up the camp at night. The soldiers are frightened at night, and so are the people. It takes fifty elite soldiers to frighten a village during the day, but at night, only a dozen soldiers can scream and frighten.

It's enough to shock. Zhang Fei said that if he mobilizes troops, tonight is an excellent opportunity. This is correct.

While Jian Yong was thinking, Zhang Fei couldn't help but asked, "Xianhe, I didn't ask you, how are you doing, brother?"

Jian Yong turned around from his deep thoughts and looked at Zhang Fei's questioning eyes. Jian Yong's eyes moved slightly, and Jian Yong suddenly smiled, "I don't know! Anyway, no news came back after Xuande entered the court this morning. Nothing."

The news may be a good thing, just wait a day or two..."

Zhang Fei interrupted Jian Yong with a dissatisfied wave. He frowned at Jian Yong and said dissatisfiedly, "What have you been doing in the city? You are looking around, how can you not know?"

Jian Yong looked a little unnatural. He quickly reviewed it and said he would find someone to investigate the matter tomorrow.

Jian Yong was also a member of his own family, so Zhang Fei had him, so there really was no news about Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei thought for a while, and he thought that if the court had captured his eldest brother and imprisoned him, there must be some movement. Since there was no movement, it was probably fine.

Jian Yong had something hidden in his heart, so he didn't speak much and the atmosphere became calm.

After staring at the soldiers digging the trench for a moment, Jian Yong asked, "Yide, why are you digging the trench here?"

When asked about this, Zhang Fei said something. Zhang Fei confidently raised his finger and pointed to the high hills on the left and right, "Xianhe, you see, the terrain here is dangerous. This is the intersection, and there are high hills on the left and right, and high hills on the left and right.

Three to five feet, it is difficult for a Pegasus to leap. If the road is cut off, dig trenches in front and build forts behind them. Then use tree stumps and vehicles to block the top of the earth forts. Then arrange a hundred soldiers behind the forts and place two archers on the left and right high hills.

10. In this way, with a hundred and forty soldiers, we can block this road. Even if there are thousands of soldiers coming from the other side, it will be difficult to be in a hurry."
