On the fifth day of the fifth month, in the evening, near the broken Wancheng East Gate Tower. The day's siege battle had just ended, and the soldiers guarding the city were leaning on the rest.

The gaps in the city walls occasionally erode and collapse the residual soil under the midsummer wind and thunderstorm.

Although most of the blood stains in the gap have been washed away, the remaining blood has become darker and redder, as if it has been plated with agate, giving people a sense of sadness and heaviness.

A young 17-year-old president of the Tun was sitting dejectedly behind the ruins of the Duoba, panting and drinking water with her belly bag, her eyes full of confusion.

A seventeen-year-old young man, in theory, could not be a military chief for a short period of time. However, he had read a little book since he was a child and knew about a hundred words, so he stood out among the big soldiers when he first joined the army.

The head of the village was drinking water. A Qu Junhou, who looked a little older than him and was a young man, came here with a few personal soldiers. Seeing his subordinates drinking water, he was thirsty for a moment and did not see other places snatching them from a few sips.

Qu Junhou is also a little too young and seems not to have reached a high position. Some people may wonder if he is literate and has been promoted quickly, but in fact it is not the case. Qu Junhou, because of his strong martial arts skills, he can still be promoted quickly after being from poor and humble.

The head of the village took advantage of the time when the superior returned the bag and couldn't help but lower his voice and asked, "Brother Uncle Zhi, I'm not shaken, I really can't figure it out. What's the point of guarding Wancheng to continue to defend?

Just like Gao Shun's attack, it will sooner or later fall. And I heard that... the content of Gao Shun's shouting is true. Yuan Shu has already gone to Shouchun now."

As Yuan Shu's officer, calling Yuan Shu by his name is already a traitor. Fortunately, they are all their soldiers next to him, so it's not a big deal.

The Tun Chang, who was called "Shuzhi", looked at the alarm and subconsciously silenced: "Don't speak loudly with a good voice! I am not angry about wasting the lives of soldiers in this way and for a chaotic master to waste his life in vain. However, in the past two days, I have figured out some truths and roughly know what Chen Lan wants to do."

It turned out that this Qujun Marquis, who was in his prime, was named Chen Dao, and was from Runan County, Yuzhou. The seventeen-year-old Tun was named Zong Yu, and he was a native of Wancheng.

Chen Dao and Zongyu were all military generals of Liu Bei's camp in history, but because they were all from Wancheng or Yuzhou, as history has been broken, they obviously lost the opportunity to defect to Liu Bei-

Chen Dao in history came to Liu Bei's tent during the period when Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu and lost his territory and defected to Cao Cao, which was between 195 and 196. At that time, Liu Bei was represented by Cao Cao as the governor of Yuzhou, and Cao Cao had defeated Yuan Shu for the first time and got Ru, Ying land. Chen Dao was a local from Runan. When he learned about Liu Bei's reputation, he would naturally come to vote.

But now, Liu Bei has never been a governor of Yuzhou from beginning to end, and his territory has never had any connection with Yuzhou. Therefore, Yuan Huan and Chen Dao, the talents who joined Liu Bei's governor of Yuzhou, have all become Yuan Shu's account.

Locals, if they have the ability, they want to find an official and rely on their martial arts to gain a background. They are not shy and cannot blame them. After all, when they surrendered to Yuan, Yuan Shu had not rebelled yet.

Zong Yu's situation is slightly different from Chen Dao, but it is also very similar. Zong Yu was from Wancheng, and he had some interactions with Chen Dao and Liao Hua. This person lived for a long time in history, and he lived to the end of Shu Han, nearly 80 years old. Moreover, because he was Chen Dao's deployment, Zong Yu took over his position as the governor of Yong'an after Chen Dao's death in history (the governor of Yong'an before Chen Dao was Li Yan).

At this moment, Chen Dao and Zongyu felt that it was not worthwhile to bury Yuan Shu, and complained about Chen Lan's decision to continue to defend himself. Chen Dao revealed the news that he had just found out recently to Zongyu:

"I didn't understand at first, why Chen Lan and Lei Bo were obviously surrounded and were willing to delay time for Yuan Shu. They were not steadfast and unyielding dead soldiers.

Later I learned that Yuan Shu used thunderbo to defend Luoyang, Chen Lan to defend Wancheng, Mei Cheng to guard Hangu, Yique, was really easy to plot... You should have heard that these three generals were all giant bandits who had no precepts to the court. It was before Yuan Shu wanted to take action and temporarily put together the officials and brought them in.

This time they delayed the time in Wancheng and Luoyang, and they were not in vain. They all took advantage of the name of defending the city to search and kill wealthy families everywhere, framed them up with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, and rolled up all the huge amount of gold, silver, silk, and fine and soft property.

They either secretly hide and prepare to break through the encirclement or take it away, or plan to find a hidden secret cellar to hide it first, and after everything is done, talk to the generals of the King of Hanzhong to discuss the conditions for surrender. They do not ask for protection of the officials, as long as they escape their lives and are not punished. When the wind passes, they will choose the opportunity to dig out the rich rich people who have plundered the city.

Lei Bo and Mei Cheng were in Luoyang. I don’t know if Xingyang did this. Anyway, Chen Lan did this here. It was yesterday that he was frightened by the civil unrest a few days ago, fearing that he would not be able to break through or that the city would be in chaos. Seeing that I was very skilled in martial arts, I wanted to share my money and pull me into the water to complicity.

I dare not offend him and disturb him. I pretended to agree first, so I knew about this. I heard that the civil unrest the day before yesterday was actually some powerful families in the city. He used the excuse of helping the army to defend the city and levy food donations, and some families were secretly wiped out by him. Everyone in the other powerful families were in danger, so they fought to death.

Alas, thousands more died. However, Chen Lan's direct thief disciple, who had been a veteran of Huai thief with him, was said to have been fed by property, so he was so willing to fight."

Zong Yu was chilling after hearing this, and then he understood why a few strongholds such as Luoyang and Wancheng were able to hold on for quite some time while Yuan Shu escaped and had been isolated as an enclave.

Yuan Shu specially sent three generals from bandits to cut off the rear! He promised that they could take advantage of the robbery before surrendering, and do it more secretly, and take the opportunity to destroy some powerful and rich families and share the money.

Isn't this the same trick as when Dong Zhuo fled west, leaving behind the queen and escorting more than one million people in Luoyang to move westward to Chang'an! The troops that Dong Zhuo performed the most dangerous ministry task just because they could "kill people on the road, rob wealthy families, and women" to do such dangerous tasks.

With the implementation of wartime military control, it is too easy to secretly make some rich people disappear. If you are a little nervous, you will be able to settle the money after the war.

It seems that whether it is a famous sect or a demon sect, Yuan Shu or Dong Zhuo, when he asks his own people to perform those dangerous tasks of hiding the rear, he is so cruel and bloody, and purely tempting them.

After all, there is no other way to make the general willing to perform such a high-risk task. It is still a matter of whether he can surrender successfully or not.

"Beast! Yuan Shu is not only rebelling against the lord, but his cruelty to the people is no different from Dong Zhuo!" Zong Yu was frightened when he heard this, and punched the battlements on the city wall, and the earth chips fell down.

Chen Dao confirmed his eyes and whispered in his ear: "Our defense zone is closest to the East Gate. We can't go anywhere else. If you want to do a big thing, you can lead General Gao's troops into the city. The only way is to make money to open the East Gate, or at least set fire in the East Gate. Are you willing to do it with me?"

Zong Yu looked serious: "Brother, even if you give me instructions, it's not worth burying a traitor like Yuan Shu. If you can offer the city, you might be able to be one level higher than under Yuan Shu."

Chen Dao nodded and explained the way he thought about this day: "The disadvantage of launching at the East Gate is that the East Gate is water gate, and the outside is water gate. Therefore, General Gao has been sieging the city these days, and his strength is relatively low against the East Gate. He is only attacking the wall section, but he cannot attack the city gate.

However, if the enemy can be notified in advance, so that they know that there is an internal support and prepare the ship to come in advance, this defect can be made up. As long as the water gate breaks, the enemy soldiers on the boat can enter the city directly. So, I want to make an appointment tonight to throw some wooden signs into the clean water, and hope the enemy can pick it up.

If we can see General Gan bringing warships to the east gate to respond tomorrow, we will create chaos within the gate as planned. If there are no warships to respond to the east gate when the other three gates attack the city and divide our troops, then they will not pick up the wooden sign and pretend nothing happened. Anyway, our wooden sign will not sign, nor will it reveal us."

Zong Zao thought about it and said worriedly: "Will they receive it but they dare not believe it?"

Chen Dao: "If you really don't dare to believe it, then just think they missed the opportunity. Anyway, we didn't launch it in the middle of the night, but we were waiting for them to attack the city. Moreover, because the East Gate is a water gate, there is no urn city. As long as General Gao and General Gan discovered this characteristic, they should not disbelief.

There is no place in the city, and if you want to trick the enemy into the city and then break the back and encircle the enemy, you can only count on Qianjin Gate. When they drive in, as long as they are willing, they should be able to think of the way to break Qianjin Gate."

When Zong Yu thought that this was indeed the case, he said that he took advantage of his opportunity at a certain time on Yedong Wall to help Chen Dao throw away a batch of wooden signs.

...

At dawn the next day, the Han army was in Ganning camp beside the Qingshui River. Some soldiers picked up wooden signs while fetching water. After a little identification by the officer, they sent them to Ganning.

Gan Ning intuition realized that it was another opportunity to give credit to him for nothing. He was eager to try it out, but he didn't dare to be self-dedicated. He went to Gaoshun Zhongjun's large tent to discuss and showed the wooden sign to the other party.

"It turns out that Chen Lan was defending her desperation and took the opportunity to destroy the wealthy families in the city. The civil rebellion in the city a few days ago was also forced by him to make money. It was so crazy... This matter was connected in the whole process, and there was no urn city in the east gate, so there should be no fraud. At most, the attack was a bit difficult." Gao Shun immediately made a judgment after reading it.

Gan Ning: "Then we..."

Gao Shun: "Today I will divide my troops to attack the three gates in the north and south. After you wait for a quarter of an hour, you will pretend to send a warship to the east gate to restrain the harassment, throw arrows and stones, and divide the enemy's forces into a share of the pressure for me. If everything is true, your feint attack will become the main attack at any time, and I will cooperate with you on three sides."

Gan Ning: "Then it's decided. When Jiyang City kills Leju, I asked you to kill Leju yourself. This time I enter Wancheng, it's my turn to board first."
