Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 212 The effect is too good
According to Wang Bang's order, the Qin army in Wuguan soon sent an envoy out of the city to the west, and invited Li Cai to Wuguan City to discuss with Wang Bang face to face under the banner that Wang Bang would discuss with Li Cai face to face about joint defense against the enemy.

It was also a coincidence that when the envoy sent by Wang Bang came to the gate of Li Caijun's camp, a scout reported in front of Li Cai that Wuguan City had closed the West Gate in broad daylight for no reason, temporarily cutting off the connection between Wuguan City and Li Caijun. Li Cai was surprised by the contact of Li Caijun's camp, and asked in confusion, "What happened? Why did you close the city gate in broad daylight? Wuguan is steep from north to south, and there is no way to go. It is impossible for the bandit army to go back and attack Wuguan Simon?"

"General, why don't you send someone to inquire about the situation? Find out what's the reason?" Deputy Deng Guo suggested: "Wuguan is too important, we'd better be careful."

Li Cai nodded, and when he was about to send someone to Wuguan to find out the situation, unexpectedly, there was a report from the soldiers outside the account, saying that Wang Bang sent someone to ask for an interview. , Wang Bang's envoy came to Li Cai, and very respectfully invited Li Cai to Wuguan to meet Wang Bang. Li Cai, who was open-minded in his heart, of course agreed, and then asked curiously: "By the way, Wuguan City What happened? Why was the West Gate closed after noon?"

"This..." Of course Wang Bang's envoy didn't dare to answer the truth, so he could only say very vaguely: "General Li, the villain is not clear about this matter, and I don't know the specific reason, so I can only ask you, General, to come face to face Ask our General Wang."

"That's fine." Li Cai didn't doubt that he was there, but turned directly to Deng Guo, his right-hand deputy, and said, "Deng Guo, take charge of the barracks affairs for me temporarily, and I'll come whenever I go."

Deng Guo was very careful, he didn't clasped his fists to accept the order immediately, but said: "Wait a minute, general, the general has an important military report."

After finishing speaking, Deng Guo turned to the royal envoy and said, "You go out for a while, I have something to report to General Li in person."

Wang Bang's envoy agreed, and hurriedly withdrew from the tent temporarily, and then Deng Guoye said to Li Cai: "General, in the opinion of the last general, you'd better not go to Wuguan City."

"Why?" Li Cai asked in confusion.

"General, don't you find this a bit strange?" Deng Guo said: "We have discussed with General Wang Bang a long time ago about how to join forces to resist the bandit army. Why are we negotiating face to face now? Wuguan was first in broad daylight. The door is suddenly closed, and you deliberately find an excuse to invite you to meet in Wuguan City, what exactly are Wang Bang and the others trying to do?"

"You are too suspicious." Li Cai said with a smile: "The bandits are just outside the pass. For the safety of the pass, why is it so strange to suddenly close the city gate in the daytime? Besides, why did Wang Bang deliberately find an excuse to let me go to the pass?" Want to meet him?"

"General, it's better to be careful." Deng Guo reminded worriedly: "This morning, Xiang Kang's rebels sent people to persuade you to surrender. There is a Wuguan between us and the rebels. If someone persuades him to surrender, Wuguan can directly contact the rebels outside the pass, so how could Xiang Kang’s rebel not send someone to persuade Wang Bang to open the city and surrender?”

Li Cai was stunned, and it took him a while to understand Deng Guo's meaning. He hurriedly asked: "You suspect that Wang Bang is wavering, and you find an excuse to trick me into going to Wuguan to take me down? Then you want to sacrifice me to the bandit army?"

"Defense against others is essential." Deng Guo replied, "After all, even the majestic governor of Nanyang, Lu Wei, betrayed and surrendered to the traitor Xiang Kang, not to mention Wang Bang, such a small general of Wuguan."

Li Cai laughed loudly, and said: "General Deng, it is good to be cautious, but this time you really suspected the wrong person. General Wang Bang once worked with me. I know his character well, except that he is a little irritable and impulsive. There is absolutely nothing to say about our loyalty to Great Qin. If the bandits persuaded us to surrender, I might believe that others might waver, but I would be the first to say that he wavered, absolutely not."

The loyal Deng Guo still didn't dare to rest assured, and urged Li Cai to be careful, but Li Cai absolutely trusted Wang Bang and insisted on shaking his head. Deng Guo had no choice but to change his words and said: "Since you must go, general, you should go It’s best to bring some soldiers for protection, just in case.”

For the sake of Deng Guo's kindness, Li Cai nodded and accepted his suggestion, and decided to take his own soldiers and two hundred elite soldiers to Wuguan. Deng Guo was also a little relieved, but for the sake of caution After Li Cai left, Deng Guo decided to send more scouts to closely monitor Wuguan's every move without mentioning it.

…………

Deng Guo asked Li Caiduo to bring more soldiers to Wuguan. Although it was a good intention, it is a pity that this time he unintentionally hurt the hapless general Li Cai. He saw Li Cai coming with more than 200 soldiers from the west gate of Wuguan. The gatekeeper Wang Bang not only strengthened his doubts about Li Cai, but also became more suspicious, saying: "Why does Mr. Li Cai bring so many soldiers here? What does he want to do?"

"General, be careful." Ning Zhi, who was also very suspicious of Li Cai, said next to him: "Although there are not many soldiers, more than 200 soldiers, if they suddenly attack when they meet, they will still pose a threat to you, General."

Wang Bang nodded slowly, and after some calculations, he quickly came up with a way to deal with Li Cai. He ordered all the generals under his account to lead the army to ambush him in the city, and then called the city gate officials to deal with him. Fan explained, and then sent Ning Zhi to go down to meet Li Cai on his behalf.

After Wang Bang's arrangements were made, Li Cai had already arrived at the west gate of Wuguan. Ning Zhi led a group of soldiers out of the city to greet him, and invited Li Cai into the city with a smile on his face, but the Qin army brought by Li Cai When the soldiers followed and wanted to enter the corridor of the city gate, the city gate officer jumped out to stop him and said: "Soldiers, please stay still. Our general Wang has an order. Without his order today, no one is allowed to enter or leave Wuguan. Please wait outside the door."

The soldiers of the Qin army brought by Li Cai had no choice but to ask for Li Cai's opinion. Ning Zhi who was next to him hurriedly said: "General Li, our General Wang does have this order. If you must bring troops into the city, we must Please ask General Wang for orders first."

"What happened?"

Li Cai finally became alert, and suddenly remembered the kind reminder from his deputy Deng Guo when he set off, so he hurriedly looked around from the corner of his eye, but to Li Cai's surprise, the streets near the city gate were empty. A commoner in Guanzhong came and went, and at the same time there were faint figures flickering in the alleyway. Li Cai, who had a long history of family education, suddenly felt bad, and said to himself: "Oh no! There is an ambush! Could it be that Deng Guo's suspicion is right, Wang Bang has really betrayed Already?!"

Having come to this conclusion, Li Cai hurriedly smiled slightly, and said to Ning Zhi: "Since General Wang has ordered, then General Ning wait a moment, I will go and order them to wait at the city gate."

After saying that, Li Cai turned around and was about to go back to his army, but Ning Zhi who was next to him was not good at fighting, but his reaction was very quick. He immediately grabbed Li Cai and said with a smile: "General, why bother you to order yourself, we are here Just say it out loud here."

After speaking with a smile, Ning Zhi immediately shouted: "Brothers in Guanzhong, General Li has an order to get you back outside the city and wait."

Ning Zhi was pulling people and shouting, of course, no matter how stupid Li Cai was, he knew that the danger was coming, and while struggling to run, he shouted: "Quick, come up and save me!"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang, the emergency gate hanging on the inside of the west gate of Wuguan suddenly fell to the ground, smashing several of Li Cai's soldiers into meat paste, directly cutting off the road connection between Li Cai and his subordinates, and at the same time the city gate There were killing sounds in the nearby streets, and countless soldiers of the Qin Army rushed out with their spears, and surrounded Li Cai in an instant!
It happened too suddenly, and it was only when Ning Zhi's soldiers rushed up to help Ning Zhi hold Li Cai down that Li Cai came back to his senses, struggled and yelled crazily, "What are you going to do? What are you doing?!"

"What are you doing?" Ning Zhi punched Li Cai directly on the nose, immediately smashed Li Cai's face, nosebleeds, and scolded with a grinning grin: "You son of a bitch! Of course, I want you, a shameless traitor, to seek glory. The traitor will take it, and it will be smashed and executed!"

"Traitoring the country for glory? Who betrayed the country for glory?!" Li Cai was completely dizzy and hurriedly shouted: "Where is Wang Bang? Where is Wang Bang? I want to see him! I want to see him!"

"Fulfill your wishes."

Ning Zhi grinned grimly and pouted, and his soldiers immediately took out ropes to tie up Li Cai. The soldiers of the Qin army who came out suddenly cut down or took down all of Li Cai's soldiers. Holding the Qianjin gate and the soldiers of the Qin army brought by Li Cai stabbed each other to prevent Li Cai's soldiers from destroying the Qianjin gate, and both of them were killed and injured soon.

Next, when Li Cai was dragged in front of Wang Bang in a daze, and even more muddled after listening to Wang Bang's bloody scolding, Li Cai finally came back to his senses, struggled and shouted: "General Wang, you took me down because you suspected that I had defected to the enemy and rebelled? What about this and that? Our Li family has been favored by the country for a long time, and we have been honored by the king for a long time. The former emperor has treated our Li family with a mountain of kindness. I am just a wolf. , it is impossible to do such a thing?!"

"It's really nice to say." Wang Bang laughed back angrily, and shouted: "Show him the letter and see how he still argues!"

Ning Zhi, who personally captured Li Cai, agreed loudly, and immediately picked up Li Cai's letter that was placed in front of Wang Bang, walked up to Li Cai, raised his hands to show it, and sneered, "Dog thief, you have nothing to say now." ?”

Unbelievably, after carefully reading the letter that really looked like his own handwriting, Li Cai was dumbfounded at first, and then screamed like a butchered pig, "Fake! This letter is fake! I have never written such a letter. A letter! This letter must have been forged by the thieves to drive a wedge between you and me, General Wang, you must not believe it! You must not believe it!"

"Pretend to be the truth." Wang Bang grinned again, and ordered: "Bring that traitor envoy up, let him confront this traitor face to face, and see what the traitor has to say."

After Wang Bang gave orders, the unlucky Young Marshal's envoy was quickly escorted in front of Li Cai, who was also extremely unlucky, and was beaten and tortured again because of fear. Ning Zhi just asked, but Li Cai personally handed over the letter After handing it over to him, the envoy of the Young Commander immediately nodded and said, "That's right, it's him, this General Li Caili, who personally handed over the letter to the villain, and let the villain hide it in the middle of his clothes." Take it back and hand it over to our right general of Chu."

"You're talking nonsense!" Li Cai was completely on the verge of crying, and yelled frantically, "I didn't! You are talking nonsense. I didn't give you any letters. I just scolded you and kicked you out." I entered my camp! There were many people present, and many people could testify against me!"

"You are acting." The envoy of the Young Marshal hurriedly distinguished: "You just pretended to scold me in front of others, and then quietly took me to another tent, and handed the letter to me alone."

Li Cai was almost mad with anger, struggling to rush up and fight the emissary of the Young Marshal who was talking nonsense. Wang Bang and Ning Zhi wanted to have evidence to explain to the Great Qin court in the future. Of course, they asked Li Cai to be pulled away and held tightly. General Li Cai roared crazily, causing the hall to become a complete mess.

If nothing happened later, everyone calmed down and calmly analyzed and speculated that the unlucky General Li Cai might still have a chance to be wronged. However, it is a pity that sometimes God just likes to side with the bad guys. When Cai Kuai yelled, a messenger suddenly rushed into the lobby, clasped his fists to Wang Bang and said: "General Wang, our friendly troops stationed in the west of Wuguan have suddenly mobilized and are attacking the west gate of Wuguan. , seems to be coming to attack our West Gate of Wuguan."

"Have you brought siege weapons?" Wang Bang asked quickly.

"No." The orderly replied truthfully.

"Then it's all right." Wang Bang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sinister smile: "Without siege weapons, even if Li Caipifu's rebels are dead, they will never even think about rushing to the top of Wuguan City."

"But general, our city gate has been destroyed." The messenger said again with a mournful face: "Just now those rebellious bandits couldn't break through the Qianjin gate, so they smashed our city gate and broke the gate bolt. , now there is only one thousand catty gate left to defend our west gate!"

"What?!" Wang Bang's shock was no small matter, he jumped up and shouted, "Quick, Ning Zhi, Gu Chuan, hurry up and bring your troops to reinforce Ximen, we must not let the rebels break through the Qianjin Gate!"

The two generals Ning Zhi and Gu Chuan also knew that the matter was urgent, so they didn't dare to neglect, so they rushed out to lead the reinforcements to Ximen, while Li Cai quickly calmed down, and hurriedly said: "General Wang, I am really wronged, if you trust me, you can Take me to the west gate of Wuguan immediately, let me call out to persuade them to retreat first, and then we will discuss slowly. Otherwise, if my army fights with you because of a misunderstanding, and the bandits take the opportunity to attack the city again, Wuguan will be destroyed. It's over!"

After hesitating for a while, Wang Bang, who was not yet extremely irritable, found that it was really good to do so, so he nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you can make your army retreat, I promise not to kill you, and I will tell you the difference." Opportunity."

Li Cai nodded in haste. At that moment, Wang Bang hurriedly ordered his soldiers to escort Li Cai, and personally took Li Cai up to the west gate. He has brought Li Caijun to the west gate of Wuguan, but he has not had time to launch an attack, and he is still nervously deploying troops. Li Cai dare not neglect, so he hurriedly asked Wang Bang to wave the white flag to remind Deng Guo outside the city to pay attention. He shouted: "Deng Guo, don't attack the city! Don't attack the city! This is a misunderstanding! This is just a misunderstanding!"

The waving white flag successfully attracted the attention of Li Caijun, and Deng Guo immediately sent someone forward to hear Li Cai's shouts on the city, but after the obedient soldiers reported the situation to Deng Guo, Deng Guo Still very suspicious, he said to himself: "I misunderstood that General Li surrendered? Is it true or false? Could it be that General Li was forced to tell lies because of the intimidation by the traitors at Wuguan?"

After talking to himself, Deng Guo went up to the obedient soldiers and asked, "What's the situation with our General Li?"

"It's far away, so I can't see very clearly." The soldier replied truthfully, "I only saw that General Li was tied up, and there was blood on his face and body." (The nosebleed from Ning Zhi's blow.)
"General Li was really forced to tell lies." Deng Guo came to the conclusion, and saw Qin soldiers moving behind the Qianjin Gate, as if they were urgently blocking the west gate of Wuguan. He was absolutely loyal to Li Cai. Deng Guo didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly shouted: "Beat the drums, attack the city, and quickly rescue our General Li!"

With the sound of war drums, the Qin army in Guanzhong rushed towards the west gate of Wuguan, which had been destroyed like a tide. Passed out suddenly, desperately shouted: "Deng Guo, why are you so confused? Why don't you listen to my advice at all?"

The arrow rain of the Qin army in Wuguan did not stop the Qin army in Guanzhong from charging. In the first charge alone, hundreds of soldiers from the Qin army rushed through the moat under the west gate of Wuguan, and rushed directly into the city gate corridor. Although the Wuguan Qin army behind them kept shooting arrows through the gap to stop them, but the Guanzhong Qin army had a long shield, which blocked most of the feather arrows that came directly, rushed to the vicinity of the Qianjin gate, and swung the ax without hesitation. The Wuguan Qin army fought back bravely, and fought with the Guanzhong Qin army into a group, roaring straight into the sky.

In fact, as early as when the Qin army planned to capture Li Cai alive in Wuguan, the young commander-in-chief's scouts at Shaoxi Mountain in the north of Wuguan had already discovered that the situation in Wuguan was wrong, and had already reported the news to Xiang Kang. He also immediately understood that the situation was not right, that his own army might get a chance to attack the city, and the young commander had already made some preparations.However, what Xiang Kang never imagined was that in a short time, the Qin army in Guanzhong would mobilize and forcibly attack the west gate of Wuguan, so that when he heard the news, Xiang Kang couldn't believe his ears at all. , repeatedly asked: "The reinforcements of the Baoqin army attacked the west gate of Wuguan? How is this possible? Is it wrong? The reinforcements of the Baoqin army are crazy? Why do you want your own people to fight your own people?"

"General You, absolutely right." The scout replied excitedly: "The villain can see clearly from Shaoxi Mountain that the reinforcements of the Tyrant Qin army seem to be possessed by an evil spirit, and they are really storming the west gate of Wuguan. "

Xiang Kang continued to be dumbfounded, but Chen Ping beside him immediately reacted and said hurriedly: "General You, if there is no accident, it should be that your plan of alienation has succeeded, and the two Tyrant Qin armies misunderstood each other, so the fire broke out. "

"But this effect is too good, isn't it?" Xiang Kang said in surprise: "I just want the Tyrant Qin army in Wuguan to doubt their reinforcements, and dare not let their reinforcements enter the city when we are attacking the city. What is the effect?" Can it be so shocking that they can fight directly?"

"General You, it seems that now is not the time to think about this issue?" Chen Ping said with a smile: "The most important thing for us now is to send troops immediately, and attack Wuguan Guancheng with the reinforcements of the Tyrant Qin army. Right?"

Xiang Kang patted his forehead, and hurriedly told the young generals and generals who rushed to the Chinese army's tent to wait for orders: "Hurry up, gather the whole army, distribute the siege weapons, and send troops to attack the city. Also, the weather is bad." It’s too early, the rear army will immediately make torches and dry food, and send them to the front line for backup.”
