Chapter 483 Fighting Shangyong San Again

"I don't have the ability to defeat Zhang Suo. This man is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also familiar with military books. He is a first-class top-notch man. Among Zhang Lu's few people, the only one There is Yang Bai to compare with it!"

Ye Ru said in a deep voice: "But I have a way to lure him to take the initiative to attack Shangyong!"

"What method? Please tell me, Mr. Ming Sheng!"

Chen Dao asked quickly.

"This method is somewhat immoral, it depends on whether Captain Chen is cruel enough!" Ye Ru sighed.

"Say!"

"Scheming!" Ye Ru said carefully: "The weakness of Shangyong's soldiers is nothing more than their parents, wives and children. These soldiers are nothing more than supporting their families. If you want to say how much loyalty they have to Zhang Lu, that's not enough. As far as I know, when Zhang Suo summoned the Shangyong soldiers, Master Su Gu took the lead. He summoned young and strong men from the entire western part of Hanzhong, and most of them were Shangyong young and strong. You can force it!"

"Coerce it? Force it?"

Chen Dao understood what Ye Ru meant, this move was cruel, but it was absolutely effective.

He suddenly looked at Ye Ru with admiration.

The entire seemingly elegant scholar also has such a ruthless side, which should not be underestimated.

"So coercing it?" Chen Dao asked.

For him now, all morality opens the way for the battlefield. If they don't get Hanzhong, all of them will die. This battle is a battle with all their strength and at any cost. He has no choice.

Now that he got Shangyong, he must not lose Shangyong before Mu Jing led the main force to enter.

"Does Lieutenant Chen have the guts to open the city gate?" Ye Ru asked.

"Open the city gate?"

Chen Dao became confused.

"If you don't open the city gate, how can you break their army's morale!" Ye Ru smiled.

……

The next day.

Under the city of Shangyong.

Click!

The city gate that had been closed was suddenly opened. This sudden change soon aroused the surprise of the Shangyong soldiers outside the city, and reported it directly to Zhang Suo.

"what?"

Zhang Suo was surprised: "Have the city gates been opened?"

He couldn't believe it.

"Report to the county lord, the city gate has indeed been opened!" Scout Junhou clapped his hands and nodded, confirming.

"go!"

Zhang Suo waved to Zhang Wei and said, "Let's go and see!"

The two rode their horses and led a hundred elite cavalry to the gate of Shangyong City.

It was only seen that the city gate had been opened, but the city gate was empty, not even a single guarding soldier or horse could be seen.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Zhang Suo asked.

"It was opened suddenly in half an hour. After opening, there was no news!"

Scout Marquis made a low-pitched report.

"Since the city gate is open, we have no obstacles, why don't we lead our troops to attack?" Zhang Wei was about to move.

"No!"

Zhang Suo was very cautious, he shook his head: "The city gates are suddenly opened, there must be a conspiracy, we have been waiting for these days, at most two or three days, the soldiers and horses from the west city will rush there, then we can unite together , Attacking Shangyong, there is no need to take risks at this time!"

"Back to camp!"

Zhang Suo looked at it carefully, and finally turned his head and said, without nostalgia.

Although Zhang Wei and others were reluctant to part with this city gate, they still obeyed Zhang Suo's military order.

One morning, although the gates of the city were opened, the confrontation between the two armies inside and outside the city remained the same.

on the city head.

Chen Dao and Ye Ru stood side by side.

Chen Dao's eyes were burning, he stared at the outside of the city, and said: "It's so forbearing, it's true, you can turn a blind eye to the attack in front of you, it's rare, rare, I'm more and more interested in this Zhang Suo. It is really a fluke to capture Shangyong in our hands, if our two armies come together to fight, the outcome is uncertain!"

If it was him, he might not have the ability to endure.

"The more he forbears, the more it proves that Zhang Lu's reinforcements should be here soon!"

Ye Ru said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ming Sheng!"

Chen Dao said with a smile: "I firmly believe that the lord's army can dare to enter Shangyong before Zhang Lu's reinforcements!"

"I hope!" Ye Ru is now able to place all his bargaining chips on Minghou's mansion, and now he can only pray that Mujing's main force can reach Shangyong earlier, at least he can keep Shangyong If not lost, then his Ye family still has a chance to make a comeback.

"Will your plan work?"

Chen Dao asked.

"meeting!"

Ye Rudao: "As long as you give it a little time to ferment, they will move, and no one will ignore their wives and children!"

……

The barracks of the Yongjun.

The barracks are simple, and the soldiers are in groups. Some are grasping their weapons, some are waiting silently, and some are laughing. Before the battle, the atmosphere will always be a little tense. They are all looking for something for themselves. A hobby of a relaxed atmosphere.

At this time, rumors emerged.

"Have you heard that the bandits in the city are going to slaughter the city!"

"You heard me wrong. They didn't want to massacre the city. They opened the city gate and let us return to the city within a limited time. As long as our soldiers outside the city don't return, the lives of our parents, wives and children will be lost!"

"Did you really open the city gate?"

"It seems that the gate of the city has indeed been opened. I also saw a few military marquises accompanying the county lord and the county captain to observe it!"

"Then what shall we do?"

"My father is already over seventy, but he can't stand it!"

"These thieves don't necessarily talk about benevolence and morality. Once they slaughter the city, where will our wives and children be!"

"Do you want to return to the city?"

"Are you stupid? The city is full of bandits now. Doesn't it mean that if we go in, we will throw ourselves into a trap?"

"Can we just stand outside the city and watch our wives and children being ruined by those bandits?"

"No matter what, life and death must return to the city!"

"Yes, we have to go back. If the county lords don't fight, we will go back secretly. I have to see my wife and children, so I can rest assured!"

"..."

Rumors spread like wind, covering the entire camp in a short period of time, causing the soldiers in the camp to be involved in an invisible undercurrent.

……

at dusk.

The barracks was in chaos, the county captain Liye arranged it properly, caught dozens of deserters, and found that these deserters were all motivated, this news suddenly panicked the extremely calm Zhang Suo.

"deserter?"

Zhang Suo charged at the case: "How is it possible, how could there be deserters under my account?"

He has always been rigorous in running the army, and he is also very good at appeasing the soldiers' morale. The soldiers' salaries are never deducted, and it is not a hopeless situation now, how could there be deserters.

"My lord, I interrogated them and found one thing. This should be the reason why they deserted!"

Li Ye cupped his hands.

"Say!"

Zhang Suo was out of breath and clenched his fists tightly. The desertion dealt a great blow to him. He had led troops for many years and had always regarded himself very highly.

"It's not that they want to be deserters, it's just that a rumor suddenly appeared in the camp. This rumor appeared very quickly, and within half a day, it had already swept through the entire camp. Instead, we were caught in it and we didn't know about it!" Li Ye said.

"What rumor?"

"The rumors are that the bandits in the city will attack the parents, wives and children of the soldiers, and they will be ordered to return to the city and surrender immediately. If they don't return to the city and surrender, they will kill the whole family in public!"

"mean!"

Hearing this, Zhang Suo understood immediately. He stared angrily, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "What a ruthless plan, open the city gate first, and then use rumors to confuse our army, and when our army's heart collapses , these soldiers will swarm into the city, and then they will effortlessly destroy my eight thousand mediocre soldiers!"
