The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 292 Xu Maogong's Strategy
It would definitely not work to shoot this letter into the city with an arrow. If this letter fell into the hands of Wang Shichong and Shan Xiongxin, it would be tantamount to self-inflicted.Li Jing proposed to send a person with good lightness skills to take the letter, climb into the city at night, and deliver the letter to Wei Zheng.

In Yang Yong's camp, there are not no people who can fly and walk over walls, but Gongye Changyuan is in Tongguan, and Princess Yujing is still on Wagang Mountain. Only Li Wan'er is a suitable candidate. Don't worry about the others, they are all immediate generals. Light work is also difficult to do.But now Luoyang City is high and deep, with strict security. Li Wan'er is a young girl, and everyone is alone. This is not a film and television novel. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.Therefore, Yang Yong rejected Li Jing's idea.

The two of them thought for a whole night but couldn't come up with a good solution. The next afternoon, Xu Maogong led an army of [-] troops to the north gate of Luoyang. Hou Junji, Ding Tianqing and other generals greeted Yang Yong.

After hearing the news, Yang Yong led Li Jing and other soldiers to pick him up outside the camp. After the two sides met, they exchanged some pleasantries, Yang Yong introduced each other to the soldiers, and the generals greeted each other with a few words of courtesy. Naturally, everyone was happy.

Yang Yong took the generals into the camp, and after the generals were seated, Xu Maogong reported to Yang Yong the defeat of Yuwen and his son in detail, and told Yang Yong that Princess Yujing and Luo Shiying were in charge of Wagang Mountain, and Li Mi assisted , There are more than 1 soldiers stationed on the mountain, and they are safe, so Yang Yong can rest assured.

Yang Yong was very happy after hearing this, and immediately named Xu Maogong as a military adviser. He has the same rank as Li Jing and Wei Zheng.All the generals knelt down and thanked him.

Yang Yong sent an order to set up wine to congratulate the generals, which was also to wash away the dust.At the banquet, when Xu Maogong and Qin Qiong learned about the situation of Wei Zheng, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Cheng Yaojin and others, and Yang Yong and Li Jing were worried about delivering letters, they were also deeply surprised and disturbed.

Yang Yong took out the letter and asked Xu Maogong for advice. After reading Wei Zheng's letter and Yang Yong's reply, Xu Maogong thought for a while and said, "My lord, the person who sent the letter is far away in the sky, but close in front of us." Hou Junji, who was eating wine at the table, continued, "General Hou is highly skilled in martial arts, with a natural speedy leg and excellent lightness kung fu. It shouldn't be a problem for him to deliver the letter. It's just that this letter will put more pressure on him in the hands of Big Brother Wei. Even if they succeeded in rescuing Wang Bodang and Cheng Yaojin, how easy it would be for more than 100 of them to turn against Luoyang? Luoyang, we have to start with Shan Xiongxin."

Yang Yong's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently, "Military advisor, what should we do?"

Xu Maogong said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, Shan Xiongxin was born in the green forest, he is a hero and righteous man, he is the most loyal man, and I, Brother Wei, Shan Xiongxin, Brother Qin, Wang Bodang, Cheng Yaojin, including Li Mi, are all friends of eight worshippers. Even if Shan Xiongxin finds out that Wei Zheng and the other three have abandoned the dark side, he will not harm him. On the contrary, he will find a way to protect them. Therefore, according to my subordinates, these people will not be in danger of their lives for the time being. In addition, Brother Wei is thoughtful and resourceful. We should give him some more time. Although Shan Xiongxin married Wang Shichong's daughter, he may not be determined to support Wang Shichong. The main reason is that Wang Shichong is cunning and changing. Knowing the true colors will also shake our position, we just besiege Luoyang and not attack, just sit back and watch what happens, and let Big Brother Wei do the planning."

Yang Yong was overjoyed after hearing this: "To be honest, this king likes heroes like Shan Xiongxin the most. As long as he can surrender, no matter how much he pays, this king thinks it's worth it. So, military advisor, we don't have to send people to the city to deliver letters." gone."

Xu Maogong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the letter still needs to be delivered. After one of the subordinates revises a letter, first persuade Wang Bodang and Cheng Yaojin to surrender, and then persuade Shan Xiongxin to surrender. In addition, send a letter to Brother Wei and the others to send a helper." , it should be all right.”

Yang Yong was a little confused when he heard that, Li Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Master Xu is using a false surrender plan to make Wang Bodang and Cheng Yaojin pretend to surrender to Shan Xiongxin, so as to arouse Wang Shichong's suspicion, and thus alienate the relationship between him and Shan Xiongxin. , forcing Shan Xiongxin to surrender. This trick is wonderful!"

Only then did Yang Yong suddenly realize, and praised him again and again, Xu Maogong smiled and said: "My lord, Brother Yao, you are too praised."

After the banquet, Xu Maogong wrote the letter and sealed the two envelopes.Li Jing suggested that Li Wan'er and Hou Junji go together, Li Wan'er is better at stepping kung fu, lightness kung fu is also good, so the two of them should have a support.Yang Yong agreed, and found the two in the tent, and they gladly took orders.

At the second watch of the night, Hou Junji and Li Wan'er were dressed in night clothes and covered with light veils. Just in case, they each carried a letter with a single knife on their backs, and brought a hundred treasure bags and other useful things. Yang Yong, Li Jing After exhorting and exhorting Xu Maogong thousands of times, the two set off.

Yang Yong was worried, and took Li Jing and Du Yi to escort him far behind.The weather is also beautiful tonight, it is cloudy, there is no moon and stars, and it is dark outside, which is just right for action.

Under the cover of night, at midnight, two black shadows sneaked across the moat and quietly touched the lower part of the city wall.The three of Yang Yong didn't dare to follow anymore, they hid in the dark and watched from a distance.

Hou Junji took out a locust stone from the treasure bag behind him, and threw it up vigorously. The egg-sized locust stone flew up to the top of the city, and rolled down onto the horse path under the crenel with a clatter. , and grumbled how far away.The two listened attentively, but there was no movement in the city. Li Wan'er took out the chain flying claw prepared in advance from the treasure bag, and flung it vigorously towards the top of the city, and the flying claw flew up to the top of the city. Grasping and grabbing the crenel, Li Wan'er pulled hard and tightened again, the five steel hooks firmly grasped into the cracks in the rocks at the top of the wall like human hands.

Hou Junji saw that it was all right, so he let Li Wan'er stare at the bottom, raised his breath, jumped up to a height of more than ten feet, and then grabbed the rope with both hands to climb up, like an ape, he reached near the crenel in the blink of an eye.

There was a soldier standing just beside the crenel, dozing off with the spear in his hand leaning on the crenel.

Hou Junji put one hand on his body, and with the other hand he pulled out the Yanling Saber behind him. Just as he was about to climb into the crenel to deal with this soldier, a group of patrolling soldiers came along the horse path. He shouted: "Give me some energy!"

The dozing soldiers were so frightened that they quickly grabbed the spears on the stack and stood up straight, staring forward with wide eyes.

Hou Junji's heart tightened, and he quickly bent down.When the soldiers patrolling the city were far away, they pulled the rope with both arms, and jumped up in the air with their strength. The kite turned over and landed behind the soldier like a ball of cotton, silently.

Then Hou Junji poked the soldier's mouth with his hand, and the soldier didn't know what was going on, so Hou Junji grabbed the soldier's throat with his other hand, exerted force with five fingers, and the soldier scratched his feet for a while, Hou Junji gently put it down on the ground, and then lightly pulled the rope to send a signal to Li Waner who was under the wall.

Li Wan'er quickly climbed up to the top of the city, and threw the dead soldiers' corpses to the bottom of the city. The two shadows disappeared into the night...
