Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 874 At the critical moment, the door opens
"These 5000 soldiers and horses have already moved closer and set up camp about a mile away."

In the "Broken Soldiers" camp outside the city, the middle-aged man and three other people got the latest information. In fact, there was no need to send special people to find out, because the messengers of the troops were running back and forth, and there were many of them. People entered and exited directly through the city gate where the "broken troops" were located - of course, they did not open the city gate, but entered and exited through the hanging basket.

"Then Wang Jun is really cautious. From the time we came here, we almost never see the city gate open. We always use the hanging basket to come and go." The older man couldn't help but complain in a low voice, if not This cautiousness, I am afraid that the success of breaking the city is theirs. Why do they need to be so troublesome now, let alone waiting by the side, there will be danger at any time.

The young man on the side listened, and said with a light smile: "No matter how cautious Wang Jun is, he will not be so cautious. It is because of our advance that they are flustered, so they are so cautious. In Qiu County, which is not far away, wars have already broken out. How can he be stable when he sits in Youzhou? Don't look at him when he asked us, he seemed very calm, but it was probably just pretending. I went over When leading a caravan, I am very experienced, and I often encounter that when our Tang family's caravan encounters problems, many people will come to ask me, no matter whether I have a way or not, I will remain calm on the surface."

This young man's name is Tang Quan, and he comes from the Tang family in Daijun. Although he is young, he has a lot of experience. He used to work under Tang Zi. Now Tang Zi's status is different from before, and the power of the Tang family is expanding in Daijun. In order to increase their influence in all aspects, the slightly capable disciples of the clan were sent out to enter all aspects of the process, with the purpose of deeply binding with Chen Zhi's forces - at this time, it is hard to say what happened to other families. But the Tang family had no intention of severing their relationship with Chen Zhi, and the profit sharing of several industries was indeed a huge benefit, so they naturally had to increase their investment and support.

However, compared with those directly descended from the Tang family, Tang Quan is still not taken seriously. After all, although Tang Zi is in power now, he is essentially a concubine who is valued by the clan and entrusted with important tasks. Tang Quan used to assist Tang Zi, and his background is also I couldn't say yes, and in the end I had to take the path of a military strategist, because this was the way to quickly turn around and be promoted.

Tang Quan's choice also showed his ambition and gambling. This time he led the troops in disguise and wanted to sneak into Youzhou City. It was he who took the initiative to ask for help. He wanted to give it a try, which was also a gamble. Now it seems that this choice is not No matter how successful he is, he is not discouraged.

In contrast, the older man seemed a little worried about gains and losses.

This man's name is Chen Shouze. Just by listening to this surname, you know that this man is from the Chen family. His roots are in Pengcheng. He is originally from Chenzhuang, Pengcheng. He is a member of Dai County who came to gain a future. It's just his age and ability. In the end, He could only act in the army, and he was about to be forgotten by everyone, so he tried again today, but in fact it was half-assed, and he was forced to be a representative by the Chen clan members in the army.

As for the middle-aged man, his name is Wei Mian. He is a native of Daijun. He stood out from the Wuding camp. After the previous Daijun guard battle, he was promoted and became the leader of the team. Later, during several months of training, , and repeatedly performed well. After being discovered by Yang Yuan, he was transferred to his subordinates.

Yang Yuan couldn't take part in this disguised raid, so he needed a trusted and capable person as the leader, so Wei Mian was selected, and this person didn't complain or hesitate at all, so he responded immediately. He came down and took the people away without hesitation, as if he didn't realize the danger at all.

At this time, he listened to the conversation between Chen Shouze and Tang Quan and said: "Calculating the time, the people in the city are probably going to succeed. I think there will be movement soon, and we can pay attention to this opportunity. Maybe we can do something along the way.”

Tang Quan nodded and said: "That's right. This newly arrived army has a large number of people and a lot of supplies given to them. They will definitely open the city gate. But in the past, when they sent out baggage and food, they did not go through the south gate. Today, too, It may not open, but it’s hard to say. If we are anxious to feed these troops and move out quickly, we need to send more food and grass. The south gate may open, which will give us an opportunity!"

Chen Shouze also had an idea: "Usually, when transporting grain, grass and supplies, we naturally need to find a place to store grain as a transfer, but now that the soldiers and horses have been mobilized to guard the edge of Youzhou City, the place to store grain will also need to be changed. Migration, this is also a big project, it consumes oxen and horses, from the point of view of command, it is better to transport grain and grass directly from Youzhou City, maybe there is a chance, when the time comes..." This somewhat mature and prudent person has yet to say Suddenly, someone rushed over from the side in a hurry, and when he saw the three of them, he lowered his voice and shouted in a low voice: "It's not good, someone from the city came out again, and dragged a few brothers into the city, He said that he wanted to be interrogated, and besides that, he also asked someone to come over and let Brother Tang and Uncle Chen go in again because he had something to ask."

"not good!"

Upon hearing the news, the three of them looked at each other and realized that something was wrong.

"I didn't expect to be investigated in detail so soon. Wang Jun is really difficult to deal with. No wonder his rise in the North is not just due to his family background and luck." Chen Shouze sighed and looked at the other two people, "Now What should we do? The preparations haven’t been made yet, and the city gate hasn’t been opened, so we can’t be exposed immediately, but if Tang Jun and I go in, we won’t be able to get out!”

Wei Mian and Tang Quan also became solemn instantly.

To force other soldiers into the city, they must be interrogated, because their team's original intention was to seize the opportunity and forcefully enter the city. As a result, although Youzhou City is large and has several gates, the people inside are too cautious. Moreover, the city wall was so thick that it was not possible to do so. I settled down temporarily and first looked at the wind direction without affecting the overall strategy. But except for the three people who took the lead, there were actually people who had been shaken. If they were seriously questioned, , can be quickly caught by people.

"Did people in the city discover something?" Chen Shouze speculated, but he couldn't help but become nervous when he looked at the approaching soldiers in the city.

"No, if something is really discovered, they will not come to arrest people, but directly kill them, which means they want further confirmation and questioning." Tang Quan quickly made an analysis, "What should we do now? , follow in, or simply leave. In the current situation, I'm afraid it's not time to launch the second step of the strategy..."

Wei Mian frowned, did not speak, but was weighing and calculating quickly in his heart.

Just when the three of them felt that the situation was complicated and critical, the gate to the south city, which had been closed all along, let out a "creak" and then slowly opened!
