In Yinzhou City, Liu Pan's troops were surrounded by Suizhou City. Li Xiuyuan reported: "The last general is willing to enter the city to persuade Wu Cao to surrender. W     w                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    �

Li Xiuyuan said: "The general is grateful for his care. Wu Cao and I are sworn brothers and relatives. When I go to talk to him, he may not surrender, but he will not kill me. The so-called siege of the city shakes the general's heart. When Mo General conveys the general's kindness, he will definitely not persist in his heart. Then our army's attack will save us a lot of trouble."

Liu Pan was overjoyed and sent Li Xiuyuan into the city.

Wu Cao was in the process of promotion to the tent. Suddenly, he heard that Li Xiuyuan came to persuade him to surrender. He was furious and said, "This guy has the face to betray the king and treason. Come on, drag it down and behead him."

Next to him was the deputy general Qiao Yuan blocked him and said, "Li Xiuyuan was a general appointed by the imperial court. The general was killed without orders. It was contrary to the national law. It was better to report to the Ming court and kill him."

General Li Tong sneered: "The Bian Zheng has the right to kill. If a mere general, why ask the court for instructions?"

Wu Cao said: "General Li said very well." He shouted: "Where is the Chinese military document? I will immediately submit the article to the general for judgment."

Li Xiuyuan was taken to the death jail before he saw Wu Cao. His face was as clear as the ground. He thought that he had backfired and almost lost his life. He was really regretful and hated. He was struggling until midnight when he suddenly heard a noise outside the cell, which scared him. He saw two men wearing black cloaks walking in with dim lanterns.

After being locked in the black prison for a day, Li Xiuyuan was so pricked by the light of lanterns that he couldn't open his eyes and asked tremblingly: "Who?"

The visitor replied, "It's me."

Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed when he heard the sound. The person who came was Wu Cao. The person who carried the lantern beside him was the deputy general Qiao Yuan. Li Xiuyuan grabbed Muzha and asked, "Brother, brother, come to see you with kindness, why did you kill me even if you didn't meet?"

Wu Cao said: "You still have the face to say to me, why don't you come to my camp when you come to see me?"

Li Xiuyuan was confused and Qiao Yuan said, "General Li misunderstood the general. Yesterday, Gu Shentong sent a military inspector Li Tong to the camp, with many eyes and ears, so the general had to be cautious."

Li Xiuyuanxi said: "So, my brother doesn't want to kill me."

Wu Cao said: "If you want to kill you, why would I come to see you late at night?"

Qiao Yuan sighed: "It's a pity that Gu Shentong was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and invaded the general's military power. Seeing that his brothers had no way to survive, the general had decided to join forces with Yang to expel Gu Shentong and eliminate the people."

Liu Pan received a secret letter from Li Xiuyuan, saying that Wu Cao had decided to rebel, and was determined to lead his troops to follow Liu Pan to expel Gu Shentong and seize Xia Sui Town. Wu Cao offered the condition to expel Gu Shentong, and he was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Xia Sui Town Jiedu and the governor of Suizhou. The defense envoy was not to be disbanded or transferred, and the income tax was not paid, and a number of military equipment was allocated every year. After his death, the positions of the governor and the defense envoy were passed on to his descendants.

Liu Pan smiled and said, "This Wu Cao has a very big appetite and looks like he is sincerely surrendering. So he replied one by one, and agreed to all the conditions, just asking Wu Cao to come to the camp for a meeting.

When the agreed date was reached, Wu Cao indeed came to Liu Pan's military camp and presented a meeting gift: the head of the army supervisor Li Tong to show his unfairness. Liu Pan was overjoyed and held Wu Cao's hand and said, "You are a cheerful person, and I, Liu Pan, are also a straightforward. This time, my troops are sufficient in attacking Xia Sui. My brother does not need to spend one army or one soldier, but only leads the army to guard against Hedong. After the matter is completed, he will fulfill his promise as agreed and will never break his promise."

Wu Cao said: "Since the two families joined forces to expel Gu's family, how can I keep my troops still? My younger brother has few soldiers and is unable to fight against big cities and towns. I am more than enough to fight against small cities and towns. I ask the general not to abandon it."

Liu Pan was overjoyed and joined forces with Wu Cao to surrender Li Cheng, the garrison of Chengpingbao, and attacked Suide from north to south. He Mochi abandoned the city and fled to Xiazhou. Liu Feng was ordered to attack Li Xiuyuan and Wu Cao's coalition forces to attack Xia Sui. Gu Shentong resisted for a little while and then abandoned the city and fled to Bining. He Mochi rushed west into Shuofang and was expelled by Xiao Enqing. Wu Cao asked to recruit troops to pursue him. He Mochi was defeated, and two hundred families of young and old were killed by Wu Cao.

Liu Pan was overjoyed and rewarded Wu Cao. Li Xiuyuanru's headquarters asked Wu Cao: "I heard that Gu Shenhuo, who is in the Chongguan of Ningzhou, is the general's family. Maybe the general told him to turn against him?"

Wu Cao said: "He is my cousin, and I have a close relationship with him. If I go, I will naturally be able to touch him. However, the Chongzi Pass is four hundred miles away, and there is a Qingzhou City in the middle. Even if I persuade him to surrender, it will be..."

Before Wu Cao finished speaking, Liu Pan smiled and took over the conversation and said, "Although the city of Qingzhou is high and deep, and the heavy troops are stored, I can only attack it in an instant if I attack it. However, Wang Yi, the commander-in-arms, is a cunning guy. Even if I take down the city, I will not hurt his vitality. When he joins the army with Yu Cheng, he will confront me with a high wall and a deep trench, it will be very unfavorable for me. Even if he attacks it forcibly, he will inevitably lose his troops and generals. In the future, the eunuchs will be under too much pressure. Therefore, if he can take down the Chongzi Pass before attacking Qingzhou, it will be equivalent to curbing Wang Yi's throat of escape from the south. When I swallow his 30,000 troops in one bite, what capital Yu Cheng has?"

Wu Cao said: "The terrain of Chongzi Pass is dangerous in the north and slow in the south. It is a dangerous pass to defend against the enemy in the north. There is really no danger to defend against the south. Even if I persuade my cousin to surrender, I will definitely not stick to it for a long time. Please tell the general, when should we start a trouble?"

Liu Pan said: "It's okay, I will naturally send someone to inform you at that time. If you make this contribution, you will be the commander of Bining Town in the future." Wu Cao said in surprise: "What kind of virtue is that? The last general... dare not do anything to do."

In order to confuse Wang Yi, Wu Cao lied that Suizhou was lost and he led more than a thousand defeated generals to Qingzhou with Li Xiuyuan and Qiao Yuan. Wang Yi heard that Wu Cao was defeated and surrendered, so he ordered the city gate to close, but his son Wang Lan was puzzled.

Wang Yi said: "A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I am old. If you take in this betrayal dog, you may not be his opponent. Just beat him and find his cousin."

Wang Lan smiled and said, "My father has said that he is a betrayal dog, he is a dog, not a tiger, so why are you afraid of him? Come into the city and swallow it in one bite to quench your hunger and thirst."

Wang Yi scolded: "What do you know? Isn't it just that my Wang family can live a decent life? Why am I still living in my sixties? Isn't I going to keep this wealth for you? You are all unworthy. Yu Cheng has long been planning my troops. If he took Wu Cao in, Yu Cheng would ask me to divide his troops with him on the excuse, would I agree or not? You are such a bastard."

After being scolded, Wang Lan returned home in a bad mood and beat the world. He didn't like anything. No wonder he was a man who was 40 years old. In the eyes of his father Wang Yi, he was still a minor child. He had a general's sign on his head, but he had no soldiers in his hands. He didn't give him any errands, and he was only allowed to observe politics every day.

My father said that military affairs are not just a joke. Young people should watch, listen and understand more to learn more, and then not take detours. When you finish learning, my father will naturally give you a chore. You, I am the only son, you, and this family is not yours sooner or later? What's the matter in a hurry?

I'm not in a hurry. I'm almost forty, and neither of my brothers has lived to forty. It's not certain whether I can live. Hey, when I die, you'll be in vain.

When Wang Lan kicked and beat him back home, his wife He ran over happily and said with a spring breeze: "The head of the family has a distinguished guest."

Wang Lan flipped his eyes and bared his teeth and said, "Disciple! What distinguished guest I came here? I have no soldiers and soldiers. No one listened when I stood on the streets of Qingzhou City and shouted loudly."

He said angrily: "Why are you doing so loud? The one who comes back is really a distinguished guest."

"Is there really a distinguished guest?" Wang Lan still didn't believe it.

"There is still a false statement. I have the emperor's order in my hand, and I came from Chang'an City."

When Wang Lan heard this, he pushed his wife away in panic and ran away. He chased him from behind: "Hat, hat, can you not wear a hat when you see the imperial envoy? Hi, I'll just let this seal make a fuss." He murmured and chased into the inner courtyard, and saw his head lying on the ground with his butt sticking out and listening to Xuan.

He was afraid that the man would spit on her, so he hurriedly stepped out and clasped his hands to tell the sky: "God, our family has finally made it."

On the fourth day of capturing Xiazhou, Liu Pan's army surrounded Qingzhou. Wang Yi was indeed cunning. He saw Liu Pan coming from afar, and immediately attacked without firmly standing. He fought a victory in the east and north of the city, killing more than 400 levels. When the main force of Yang Wei's army came to find him, he hid in Qingzhou City and let you insult him in every way. He just took the opportunity to hear it.

Liu Pan's troops were less than 50,000, and half of them were strong men. Only 20,000 people were truly combat-capable. More than 90,000 of them were cavalry. In terms of field battles, Wang Yi was far from an enemy, but if he was siege, he would not be able to take advantage of it. Wang Yi was attracted by this and was fearless. He confronted him with a strong city. There was food and grass in his city and some were soldiers and armor. He was not afraid that Liu Pan would bypass Lingzhou to attack the Chongzi Pass. No matter whether he could fight or not, he would not be able to defend even if he fought.

No matter how bad Yu Cheng is, he dare not sit idly by and watch his demise. The day when Qingzhou City fell was the day when Yu Cheng fell.

General Wang was not confused when he was in his arms, and Liu Pan was content with his sanitation. He was already filled with explosives in the city, and the fuse was in his hands. As long as he lit the fire, he could immediately blow him up. He was waiting for Zheng Huatai's Suide army, and when Meng Ming and Yu Yanlu's main force went south, the bone in Lingzhou was too hard, and even if he chewed his teeth, he would definitely have indigestion.

Zheng Huatai's 20,000 troops were heading south day and night, and it was expected to arrive in seven days. Meng Ming and Yu Yanlu's mixed cavalry army was faster than Suide Army, which was mainly infantry, and it would take at least five days to arrive. I can't be idle these days, so I have to play with the old fox, so that this guy would not be suspicious of being a dark ghost, pat his butt, and leave.

Liu Pan sieges three times a day, morning, midnight, and evening, from east, east, west, south, north and north. His siege equipment is very limited. Most of the time, he relies on the most primitive ant attached magic to attack the city, causing losses to the generals, which is very tragic. This gives Wang Yi an illusion: the enemy is so urgent, it can be seen that there are no reinforcements and no food and grass in the future. He cheers the generals. As long as we persist for another ten days, the enemy will retreat without fighting!

Five days passed, Meng Ming's 10,000 horse and infantry arrived first, and Yu Yanlu's 8,000 horse and army arrived early the next morning. Zheng Huatai also heard news that the army arrived one day, one day faster than the original time.

Liu Pan happily said to Yang Hongyang: "Let's do it if you don't wait for him."

Yang Hongyang thought about it and didn't say anything. As long as Zheng Huatai could arrive in one day, he would not be able to miss anything. Even if it was half a day late, it would be fine. Zheng Huatai was a mature and steadfast veteran general, and he should not be suspicious about what he said.

According to the plan, Yu Yanlu's 8,000 horse army immediately circled around the city to seize the Chongzi Pass. In any case, even if the entire army was killed, it must be kept for one day and one night. As long as this day and one night, Wang Yi's 30,000 army will be destroyed, and Yu Cheng will become a lonely man and will die without fighting.

Yu Yanlu went away with confidence. Although the terrain on the south side of Chongzi Pass was not as dangerous as the north side, the eight thousand cavalry were still sure to defend against Yu Cheng's less than 20,000 infantrymen for a day and a night.

Yu Yanlu was worried about whether the Chongziguan would change the flag at the order Liu Pan said. If Wu Cao regrets it or fails to use a plan, he will be passive. Yu Yanlu carefully approached the Chongziguan. At a glance, the knot in his heart was immediately untied: the Chongziguan had fallen into the hands of Wu Cao and Li Xiuyuan. He sighed: It is said that the Inner Temple only slanders can only slap people at home, and are far less than Zuo Gongguan, and it doesn't seem to be true. At least Zhang Bozhong is not a casual person. Those who think that the Zuo Gongguan and the Inner Temple can only spy on ** and act as eyes and ears, either fools or fools, how could they know there was another mystery in this?
