Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 155 The Mysterious Young Man
Outside Xuyi City.

Hearing the thundering voice of surrender at the city gate, Guo Jia bowed and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for capturing Xuyi."

"Yuan Shu wanted to clear the country through strong walls and only defend the three towns of Xuyi, Shouchun and Hefei to block our army near the Huaihe River."

"But he never dreamed that Xuyi City would be destroyed in just one morning."

"The victory in this battle was all due to the strategy of Zhu Qiying and Waihe to break the city."

Zhao Yun also echoed: "Xuyi, guarded by tens of thousands of Huainan soldiers, should have been impregnable, but because of surprise and knowing ourselves and the enemy, we destroyed the city in one day. If word of this move spreads, everyone in the princes will be in danger and frightened."

Lin Fan smiled and waved his hand: "You two, please don't flatter me!"

"There are Jin Yiwei in front who have racked their brains to send Yu Wen Chengdu and Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry into Xuyi City."

"There are later soldiers who are not afraid of life and death in attacking. Which one does not have greater credit than me?"

Guo Jiadao: "My lord is so humble that it's hard to see."

"I wonder what my lord's next plan is?"

"The city of Xuyi is broken, Huainan is alarmed, Shouchun, and Hefei are probably already frightened. The defense in the city will only become tighter. It is difficult to easily break the city."

Zhao Yun nodded: "The strategy of destroying the city cannot be replicated."

“It went very well this time, but it may not go well the next time.”

"What's more, the city gate has been closed for a long time. Even if the Jin Yiwei has great supernatural powers, it will be difficult to sneak into the city."

Lin Fan's face was calm, and the corner of his mouth was full of confidence: "Since we can't take the city by clever means, let's attack by force."

"Destroy ten guilds with one force and conquer Shouchun."

Guo Jia, Zhao Yun deliberately asked, only to hear the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats.

Looking far into the distance, Zhao Yun smiled and said: "General Yuwen, Commander Li is here!!"

After finishing speaking, the two people and the two horses stopped a few feet away from Lin Fan, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down in front of Lin Fan: "Yu Wen Chengdu, Li Yuanfang has met the lord!!"

Lin Fan also jumped off his horse, helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "You two are the great contributors to the destruction of Xuyi City. If you hadn't opened the city gate in time, today's casualties would have increased by three points."

"Get up quickly!!"

Li Yuanfang looked humble and waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, I don't dare to take the title of such a great hero."

"I just led the Jinyi Guards to set two fires in the city, causing chaos in Xuyi City."

"General Yuwen is really brave. He led Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry to disperse [-] Huainan soldiers."

"It is precisely because of his bravery that the city gate opened so quickly."

The approval from Lin Fan and Li Yuanfang should have made Yuwen Chengdu excited.

But at this moment, Yuwen Chengdu was not happy at all.

Because things are slightly different.

At least without the dozens of surrendered people on patrol, the city gates and suspension bridge would never have been so easy to open or lower.

If Yuwen and Cheng were both greedy for merit, as long as they didn't mention this matter, no one would doubt it.

But Yuwen Chengdu is not that kind of person.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and forced a smile on his face: "Actually, I wasn't the one who opened the city gate."

"Ok?"

Everyone present was stunned and looked at Yuwen Chengdu with confusion. Even Lin Fan was a little strange.

Yuwen Chengdu said: "When I was fighting at the city gate, a patrol captain led dozens of people to surrender and was willing to welcome the lord into the city."

"They were already at the city gate and were familiar with the layout of the city gate and the drawbridge, so they opened the city gate very quickly."

"Although I don't want to, to be honest, their contribution is not small."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

"How do they know I'm outside the city?"

"How could you surrender after seeing you with less than twenty horses?" Yuwen Chengdu said: "I also asked the patrol leader just now. He said that he helped a poor young man at home two days ago. Unable to leave the city, I stayed at his home for the time being."

"One night when we were drinking too much, we were talking about the situation in Xuyi. The young man said with certainty, 'Xuyi City will definitely become the target of the lord's attack southward, and it won't be long before the city is broken. No matter how tight the defense is, as long as the inside and outside are coordinated, , you can easily win it.'"

"In addition, the young man also said, 'If you want to survive and advance to the next level, you can just guard the city gate during the war and surrender to the inside. You can get a lot of credit.'"

"And the patrol captain personally told me that these words came true one by one, and not a single word was wrong."

"That is to say, if this person really exists, he will be the first to see through the lord's plan."

"Sizzling."

Lin Fan took a deep breath and felt a chill running down his spine.

The excitement of breaking the city just now was instantly diluted.

Recalling Guo Jia and Zhao Yun's compliment just now, she blushed even more.

Although he had humbly shook his head and refused to take the initiative, he was still very satisfied with his plan.

Everything feels flawless.

But he never expected that someone would have seen his plan to break the city in advance.

If the young man mentioned by the patrol captain told the Xuyi City guard about his plan, the consequences would be disastrous.

As long as there are enough traps and manpower deployed at the city gate, regardless of Yu Wen Chengdu or Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry, it is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated.

But fortunately, that young man is not from Yuan Shu, otherwise
He breathed a long sigh of relief and tried his best to stabilize his mind: "Is the patrol captain here?"

Yuwen Chengdu nodded: "I have already called him over."

"Lord, do you want to invite that young man?"

"After all, this person is not simple."

Guo Jia also said solemnly: "I never thought that there would be such a person in the small Xuyi City. Fortunately, he is not from Yuan Shu, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Actually, I was thinking just now that maybe that young man also wants to meet the lord."

"That's interesting."

"Using this method to attract the lord's attention, this person's wisdom is rare in the world!!"

Lin Fan also came to his senses, with a different smile on his face: "It seems that my reputation has been established now, and someone actually wants to come see me!"

"Still in this way."

"Wonderful, wonderful!!!"

Having said this, he looked at Yuwen Chengdu: "No need to go to such trouble. I have never been stingy with my respect for capable people."

"Let him lead the way. I also want to meet this mysterious young man."

"I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise in breaking Xuyi City."

"Not bad, very good!!"

After saying that, he laughed a few times and strode towards the city.

Yuwen Chengdu, who had been in a state of confusion, looked at Zhao Yun blankly: "Zilong, what did Mr. Fengxiao and the Lord just say?"

"What a fun way to meet?"

"What caught my lord's attention?"

"What does this mean?"

Zhao Yun patted Yuwen Chengdu on the shoulder: "My lord is already walking in front, why don't you hurry up and arrange for the patrol leader?"

"Do you want the lord to wait for you?"

Yuwen Chengdu slapped his forehead and took a big step forward.
