Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 156 Plan Implementation
After leaving the parade ground, Cui Jun, Guan Yu and Zhang Yong led their troops to patrol the city wall, while Liu He took Cheng Liang, Zhu Ye and Ye Xiang to visit the wounded soldiers and the families of the soldiers who died in battle.

He was so busy that he didn't even return to the county government until nightfall.

Although he was tired after a day's work, Liu He lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he put on his armor again, took his weapons, went to the city wall, and kept watch with the soldiers.

At this time, the Liang Mansion seemed to be peaceful, but in an inner house in the backyard, it was brightly lit and crowded with people.

"Hahaha, we've finally waited for this day! The heavenly soldiers have arrived, and the day of our rapid rise to prominence has come!"

Liang Hao looked at the patriarchs of the many families in front of him and laughed without any scruples.

"Yes, but this little Liu He is indeed extraordinary. He can defend the city with a small number of people."

"Hey, isn't this just right? If he can't hold the city and lets the heavenly soldiers come in, what's left for you and me?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Today's event is a God-given opportunity. If we get rid of Liu He, our family will regain control of Langdiao County. With this meritorious service, hehe..."

Just then, a different voice came.

"But I heard that the Great Sage Master's attack on Luoyang didn't seem to go smoothly..."

When Liang Hao heard this, his face suddenly changed and he immediately looked at the person who spoke fiercely.

"What is the intention of Patriarch He to disturb people's hearts with hearsay? The Great Sage Master has been planning for several years. The army suddenly pressed forward, and there was internal and external support. How could he fail? Patriarch He hesitated, but he should not block our path to advancement!"

It has only been five days since Zhang Jiao sent his troops to attack Luoyang. Unlike Cui Jun, who has a large number of wandering knights who are specifically used to gather information from Luoyang and Jizhou, they do not have a clear understanding of the specific war situation of the Taiping Dao Rebellion.

When many family heads saw that Liang Hao was angry, they all cast resentful looks at the head of the He family.

When the head of the He family saw that he was in a thankless task, he simply kept silent. After all, he had only heard the news, and he had no idea whether it was true or not.

Seeing such a great opportunity right before their eyes, no one present could remain calm, and everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and greed.

The head of a family could no longer suppress his emotions and could not wait to ask Liang Hao questions.

"Master Liang, tell me, when should we start?"

Liang Hao looked at everyone, then turned around and sat back in his seat.

"Since all the family heads are so anxious, I, Liang, don't have to hide anything. Let's take enough food, wine and meat tomorrow morning, and go directly to the city wall to tell that little Liu He that we are here to reward the soldiers. Since he took office, we have never made things difficult for him. Now that the city is in danger, he will not doubt us if we act this way."

"As long as he and the people of the Anmin Army take away the wine, meat and food that have been laced with the special drugs brought by the Lord God's Envoy, hehe, this Langdiao County will be ours! Then, under the leadership of the Lord God's Envoy, we will open the city gates and welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city. After a good rest, we will march into Jinyang. The next time we get together for a drink, maybe it will be in Jinyang City, haha!"

These words made everyone present feel excited and their blood boil, as if they had already seen the day when their family would stand at the top of the many powerful families in Bingzhou. The grievance of not being able to go home these days and being forced to stay in the Liang Mansion was not in vain.

"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly tell our trusted followers to go back home and pass on the message. Let's prepare the gifts for the troops tomorrow and send them over together!"

"That's right, that's right. This is a lot of wine and meat. We have to start preparing it tonight."

At this moment, the room suddenly darkened, and the light was noticeably weaker. Liang Hao frowned slightly, and shouted to the outside of the door with some displeasure: "Someone, come here, the lamp is out of oil, and you don't even know to come in and add some, what's the point of keeping you?"

A servant from the Liang Mansion pushed the door open and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize. Liang Hao waved his hand impatiently, and the man stood up and refilled the oil lamps in the room.

"Well, get out now. You won't be allowed to eat tomorrow! The master is in a good mood today and doesn't want to argue with you, otherwise I would have to whip you a few times!"

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!"

The man had cold sweat on his forehead. After thanking repeatedly, he hunched over and walked out.

A family head joked, "Haha, I've heard for a long time that Brother Liang is very strict in running his family. The servants will be severely beaten if they make the slightest mistake. It really lives up to his reputation!"

Liang Hao heard the irony in his words, but ignored him. He straightened his face and then took out a few small bottles from his pocket.

"Fellow family heads, these bottles contain the drugs brought by the divine messenger. Divide the drugs among you and ask your trusted followers to take them back. But do not let anyone know. Wait until your family has prepared wine and meat, and then have them sprinkle the drugs into the bottles themselves."

"Brother Liang, don't worry. This matter is serious and we know the consequences!"

Since they were trusted followers, they would naturally be with the masters during the time they stayed in the Liang Mansion. So the masters quickly summoned them, entrusted them with matters one by one, divided the poison in the bottle, and handed it to them.

These followers did not dare to delay and left Liang's Mansion overnight and returned to their own residences to make preparations.

Liang Hao and the other family heads believed that the situation had been decided, felt completely relieved, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

However, they did not notice that a small door in the backyard of the Liang Mansion, which was specially used for servants to enter and exit, should have been completely closed. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, looked back as it walked, tiptoed to the side of the small door, opened the door a crack, shrank its body, and sneaked out.

The sky gradually brightened. Liu He and his four brothers stayed up all night. They let the soldiers take turns to sleep and rest, while they patrolled the entire night.

"Brother, you've been working hard all night. Go and take a rest first. We'll be watching over you here, so nothing will happen."

Guan Yu said.

Liu He waved his hand, looking at the twinkling lights in the distant mountains and forests, and said, "It's okay. A general should share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. I don't know when the Yellow Turban Army will come again. Even if I want to rest, I will rest here on the city gate tower. How can I return to the mansion to enjoy myself alone?"

"Hey, big brother, you are really too cautious. You asked me to lead the troops to rob the camp last night. Those damn Yellow Turban Army are already under my halberd. Now big brother can sleep well. Why suffer this?"

Cheng Liang's loud voice was not affected at all by not sleeping all night.

"Haha, the three generals were just joking." Cui Jun came out to explain.

"Although robbing the camp is a good strategy, it depends on the timing. Our army just fought a hard battle yesterday, and the soldiers are injured and tired. In addition, the enemy camp is in the mountains. Even if we can spare some soldiers who are still strong to rob the camp, we are not many and the terrain is complicated. Even if they don't have an ambush, this robbing will definitely have little effect, and it will easily lead to our own casualties. And it has been raining continuously in the past two days, so setting fire to the camp will be useless."

Cheng Liang was most afraid of this kind of thing that required thinking. Although he did not fully understand what Cui Jun meant, his head started to swell when he heard such words, and he no longer mentioned the idea of ​​robbing the camp.
