The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 458
With Mu Xu's promise, Zhang Zhili immediately let go of his thoughts for many years, and even talked about his plan to dedicate the city.

"I have already talked to Yang Tao, the gatekeeper of the west city, and he promised to act as an internal response. At midnight tomorrow, the general can send a partial army to approach the west gate quietly. As long as he raises the fire as a signal, Yang Tao will open the city gate as promised, and take advantage of the opportunity to magnify the army into the city. .In this way, great things can be accomplished.”

Even though what Zhang Zhi said was so convincing, Mu Xu knew very well the truth of being careful when sailing for thousands of years.

Therefore, after careful questioning about Yang Tao's background and personality.Mu Xu felt that this person was quite reliable even in his heart, but in order to be sure, he still ordered Wang Dingliu to recruit Shi Xiu.

Then, in front of Zhang Zhi, after obtaining Shi Xiu's consent, Mu Xu sent him and Zhang Zhi to enter the city together tonight, apparently to assist Yang Tao, but in fact to monitor his every move so as not to cause trouble in the sewer. The boat capsized.

Seeing that Mu Xu was so cautious, Zhang Zhi didn't feel offended. After all, he himself was not like this, and he also sent someone to monitor Yang Tao.

At the time of parting, thinking of Huang Ming and the others, especially Liu Haifeng's face, Zhang Zhi deliberately put eye drops on those guys.

He not only focused on describing the actions of several companies, but even hinted to Mu Xu that they might be instigated by the Liao State in the future.

Mu Xu had originally intended to cleanse the local tyrants, so Zhang Zhi's words were at the right time.So this time, not only did he not refute, but he also asked smoothly,
"Since you say so, sir, do you have a good solution to this matter?"

Zhang Zhi hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and suggested, "These people have two heads and two ends, and they will definitely cause harm after a long time. Why don't you use this time when the army enters the city to treat them..."

After that, Zhang Zhi didn't say it, but made a gesture of wiping his neck, and the meaning he wanted to express was obvious.

Mu Xu didn't comment on this, just nodded slightly, and asked Xu Guanzhong, "What do you think, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Guanzhong smiled at Zhang Zhi, and replied, "I think Mr. Zhang is justified. For the long-term stability of Yunzhou, these people who work for tigers must not be left behind."

Hearing that even Xu Guanzhong agreed with his words, Zhang Zhixin was overjoyed, first nodded his thanks to Xu Guanzhong, and then continued to persuade Mu Xu, "General, don't stop, you will suffer chaos."

Seeing that the play was almost done, Mu Xu said at the right time, "Forget it, I'll just rely on you two. It's just how to do this, do you have a charter?"

Xu Guanzhong cooperated, "This matter is not easy, what should be done specifically, has to fall on Mr. Zhang?"

"Ah, what does this lord mean?" Zhang Zhi was a little dumbfounded, not understanding why his act of borrowing a knife to kill someone turned around again and turned back on his own head.

Xu Guanzhong said, "Mr. Zhang proposed this matter, and since he is a local, he knows more about the Huang family than I do. We simply don't bother the two masters, and let Mr. Zhang handle it himself."

Before Zhang Zhi could refuse, Mu Xu clapped his hands and applauded, "Very kind! After the army enters the city tomorrow night, I will send a team to sir, and ask him to send his confidants to lead the way, and cut off those people one by one."

"What's the excuse?"

Mu Xu thought of what he didn't think about and said, "There is no need for any excuses, just push it to the rebels in the city afterwards."

Seeing Mu Xu and Xu's two words, Zhang Zhi made this matter clear, how could he not know, even if he didn't mention it, they had already planned to do so, it was obviously superfluous for him.

But it was too late to regret it at this time, he was on a pirate ship now, if he wanted to get off again, the consequences would be unbearable for him, so he agreed cruelly.

In order to prevent Mu Xu from causing any problems for him, Zhang Zhi didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly took Shi Xiu with him on the pretext of being afraid that his whereabouts would be found in the city.

Looking at the back of Zhang Zhi leaving with his butt on fire, Mu Xu and Xu Guanzhong looked at each other and smiled.

After a long while, Xu Guanzhong put away his smile and said seriously, "Village Master, what Zhang Zhicai did just now, although there are suspicions of private revenge, but his words are extremely reasonable.

After we occupied Youyun, the first problem was not the counterattack of the Liao people, but the entangled local tyrants. "

Mu Xu said solemnly, "That's right, these people have been operating in the local area for a long time, relying on their clan power to run amok, even the Liao people need to rely on them to rule the Han people in Youyun.

If you don't take advantage of this good opportunity to wipe out those families who are doing evil, and then find a reason to deal with them after they come here in the future, you will be out of nowhere. "

When Xu Guanzhong heard what Mu Xu said, he thought he was going to use his tricks to uproot these families, so he quickly persuaded, "

The owner of the village must not do it, the matter of Yunzhou must be one and the same, if there is such a coincidence every time, no matter how stupid a person is, he should see what is going on.If this happens, it may trigger a backlash from all over the world and delay our efforts to control Youyun. "

Mu Xu waved his hand and comforted Xu Guanzhong, "Don't worry, military commander, how can I be so reckless? I already have a plan for how to deal with these families."

"Will the village master give advice?"

"I am going to take a two-pronged approach, focusing on those families that are still stubborn. For those who are willing to cooperate, I will follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who moved the world's wealthy families into Maoling.

Once I have gained a firm foothold in Youyun, I will order to relocate all those local wealthy families to Youzhou City and manage them nearby. "

Xu Guanzhong thought over and over again, and found that Mu Xu's move was indeed the most appropriate, so he stopped expressing his opinion on this matter, and then changed his voice, and talked about the big event tomorrow night.

What Xu Guanzhong meant was that although there were supporters in the city, if the army remained on hold, it might arouse the suspicion of the enemy's high-level officials, thereby implementing stricter control over the city, which would ruin the current major event.

Therefore, Xu Guanzhong proposed to attack the city as usual tomorrow to attract the attention of the city, and to steal the city at night.

Mu Xu thought so, and agreed to act accordingly.

On the next day, Mu Xu gave an order, and Liangshan's army immediately moved.The [-] infantry army was commanded by Wu Song, Sun Li, Yan Qing, and Shan Shiqi respectively. They controlled trench bridges, rolling carts, ladders and other tools to attack the city head time after time.

The defenders in Yunzhou City were not to be outdone, and under the leadership of Yelu Jiujin, they fought back with bows, crossbows, golden juice, and rolling stones and wood.

As soon as the two sides fought each other, the war became intense, and the battle was extremely fierce. From the rising of the sun to the falling of the Golden Crow, each side stopped fighting.

Speaking of today's battle, regardless of the fact that the Liao army in the city is on the defensive side and has the advantage of the city to rely on, the actual situation is not the same.After all, they were too small in number, and they had to defend the four walls, so they couldn't take rest alternately like Liangshan's army.

Therefore, in the evening of that day, each and every Liao army was exhausted. Except for a small number of soldiers who were in charge of guard and patrolling, the rest rested on the spot at the top of the city.

It's also a beautiful day, the sky was overcast and cloudy that night, completely covering the moonlight, so that you can't see your fingers.

Under such circumstances, a Liangshan army composed of [-] people quietly came under the west city at the time when Zi Chou met, and someone shook the torch.

Seeing this, Yang Tao, who was waiting anxiously at the top of the city, did not dare to hesitate, and quickly asked Shi Xiu to go to the bottom of the city to meet him, while he himself, with more than twenty confidants, pushed the winch to lower the suspension bridge.

With the rotation of the winch, the sound of iron chain friction was heard very abruptly in the night, and the soldiers who were patrolling the city wall not far away were awakened immediately.

Those soldiers rang the gong to remind the defenders of the enemy's attack, and rushed towards the city gate, trying to prevent this from happening.

But Zhang Zhi had considered this section early on, and had ambushed his servants to intercept him in advance.With such a delay, first the suspension bridge was lowered, and then the city gate was opened with a bang, and the Liangshan army outside the city shouted and rushed into the city in one fell swoop.
