Whoosh!
Mengda had already arranged that the private soldiers under his command would patrol this section of the city wall, while the other soldiers were responsible for patrolling the other sections of the wall. Therefore, Meng Chong's safety was naturally guaranteed.
A rope hung down from the top of the city. Meng Chong, dressed in leather armour, grasped the rope with both hands. His palms kept falling. Finally, he released the rope and jumped down to the ground.
Meng Chong patted the dust on his body and trotted to the barracks of Liangzhou army outside the city.
"Stop!"
There was a high guard tower at the gate of the camp. Naturally, there was a garrison of Liangzhou army on it. He saw a figure moving in the shadow from a distance. He had paid attention to it for a long time. When Meng Chong approached, he faintly showed his body shape in the torch. He immediately yelled and took out his bow and arrow at him.
"Don't shoot arrows!"
Meng Chong cried out in a hurry: "I am a private soldier of Mengda's family, a captain of Zhechong in the city. I have been ordered by my master to send a letter to the general. Now I come alone. Don't panic."
The Liangzhou soldier in the sentry tower was in a state of disbelief and said to him, "go to ask Shangguan for instructions, and you are doing this."
After a while, the gate of the camp opened slowly and made a creaking sound. The Liangzhou soldiers on the sentry tower called out: "you come in!"
Meng Chong agreed and walked into the camp. He saw several rows of sharp antlers in front of him. Behind the antlers, there were hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers with murderous looks on their faces. Some of them just stepped down from the top of jiangge city in the daytime, so they didn't want to clean their laundry clothes. There was a strong smell of blood on his body. Meng Chong could not help swallowing his saliva.
"Are you a private soldier of Menda?"
Meng Chong looked up after hearing the speech, and saw that the man who had been asked was riding on a horse, dressed in all his clothes, and was ferocious. He was riding the Duwei horse.
"Villain, my master has a letter to send to the general." Meng Chong was busy.
"Follow me."
Ma Xiu called out, and Meng Chong hurried forward and followed Ma Xiu. Ma Xiu led Meng Chong and dozens of Liangzhou soldiers. After a long time in the camp, he arrived at the central army's tent.
"Captain Madu, what's the matter of coming to the general so late?"
Outside the camp gate, Guan Hai saw Ma Xiu coming with dozens of people. He immediately stood up and asked.
"Mengda in the city sent a private soldier to see the general." Matthew replied.
"Oh?"
Guan Hai went up to Meng Chong and said, "you are under the command of Mengda. What's the matter?"
Meng Chong bowed his head and said, "my master has a letter to send to the general."
Guan Hai nodded: "take it out."
Meng Chong's head was lower: "my master ordered me to hand this letter to the general."
"I am the second life of the general. What are you afraid of?"
Guan Hai glared at him and yelled at him. Meng Chong couldn't resist him. He didn't dare to argue with Guan Hai, who was like an iron tower. He had no choice but to reach into his arms and take out the letter which was pasted with meat and still with body temperature, and handed it to Guan Hai.
"Take him down and have a good meal. I'll come when I go."
Guan Hai took the letter and walked into the camp: "general, the letter of Mengda nassi is here."
"Oh? Let me have a look
Guan Hai hands the letter to Liu Ye, who reads it from top to bottom. He frowns and ponders for a while. He says to Guan Hai, "go and invite Wenhe and Xiaozhi."
"Here it is."
Guan Hai turned around and left. After a while, Jia Xu and Fazheng were invited to come and enter the account.
"I don't know what the general called me at night."
After being ordered, Jia Xu and Fazheng did not dare to be careless, so they rushed over.
"Mengda and Zhang Song are also in the sword Pavilion. They plan to take the opportunity to open the gate at night and let our troops in. What do you think?"
When they hear this, they don't look at each other.
Jia Xu cleared his throat and arched his hand and said, "dare to ask the general, how many soldiers and horses did Mengda have under his command?"
"Two thousand."
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the sword pavilion?"
"Thirty thousand."
"No Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Mengda's headquarters are really very few. Among his two thousand men, apart from the private soldiers' Association, it's good that half of the remaining two thousand are willing to rebel against him. Even if two thousand people are willing to revolt, Zhang Ren's skill is enough to control the situation. At that time, he will be arrested if he is not able to offer his services. "
Liu Ye nods, deeply convinced. Indeed, as Jia Xu said, there are too few men under Mengda's command, and most Yizhou soldiers are not willing to rebel. In case Mengda is found out by Zhang Ren, the Liangzhou army will lose the card, which is really not worth the loss.
"We can order Menda to deliberately preserve his strength, and at the same time, treat his soldiers with a lot of money."Jia Xu suggested: "when guarding the city, Mengda can deliberately preserve his strength and consume the Yizhou army under other generals, and his strength will certainly rise. Moreover, if they treat their soldiers with a lot of money, they will certainly be willing to work hard. After our army has conquered the sword Pavilion, they will pay Mengda ten times more. "
"When Yizhou's soldiers are exhausted and Mengda's strength is complete, his soldiers must also be bribed, and they must be willing to work for Mengda. Our army will arrange another time to order Mengda to give up his sword Pavilion. That's OK."
What Jia Xu said is an old strategy to seek for the country. After all, Mengda is rebelling now, and the chance of success is really not high. It is better to follow Jia Xu's method, and after a period of time, all his officers and soldiers will follow the bandit ship, and maybe they will be able to match the inside and outside and win the sword Pavilion at one stroke.
Liu Ye nods and looks at Fazheng, who has never said a word: "filial piety, what do you say?"
FA Zheng suddenly chuckled: "brother Wen he, general, I have another opinion."
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Please tell me about it
FA Zheng arched his hands at the two men and said, "the general ordered General Zhang to lead his troops to cross the Yinping path a few days ago? Zhang Ren is cautious and takes the overall situation into consideration. He must have noticed the path of Yin Ping
"Zhang Ren is the commander in chief of Yizhou army. Meng Da is in the Jian Ge and is restrained by Zhang Ren. It may not be successful. It is better to order Meng Da to ask for instructions to go to Mianzhu pass to guard against it. When General Zhang arrives, he offers Mianzhu pass and joins forces with general Zhang to attack Chengdu directly."
FA Zheng said with a smile: "in this way, if Chengdu falls into the enemy's hands, then Zhang Ren will certainly come back. Isn't the sword Pavilion easily available?"
When Liu Ye hears the speech, his eyes brighten and he laughs: "Fa Xiaozhi is really the Zhang Zi Fang of the general!"
