Chapter 2380 Fraud City
Xianyu volunteered to be the vanguard. He asked Shizang for three or four hundred people and took off the armor of the soldiers who fell into the Shu army in Yelang Valley. Xianyu asked each Wei soldier to change into the armor of the Shu army, and the more broken these armors, the better.
The salted fish deliberately applied blood to her face and body, asking the other Wei soldiers to do the same. They also specially picked out a broken Shu army flag with only half of the ground and held it. The three waters on the left side of the character "Han" disappeared, leaving only the right half.
When Shi Zhuan saw Xianyu's disguise, he knew that he wanted to cheat Nanzheng City. However, Shi Zhuan was also worried that the soldiers led by Xianyu were all pretended by the Wei army. In other words, except for Xianyu, these people were all unfamiliar faces. Will the defenders see through it?
Xianyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Shi, you're probably already in panic in Nanzheng City, and a mess. Who can tell the truth or falsehood? As long as a certain person stands at the city, he will be 90% sure to open the city gate. Then, the general will take the wolf smoke as the number, and lead the troops into the city directly."
Xianyu has been in Nanzheng for a long time and is naturally very familiar with the situation in Nanzheng. Since he is very sure to open the city gate, Shi Zong is of course happy to see it. After all, although the defenders of Nanzheng have fewer troops, if they really attack the city, the Wei army will not suffer too little casualties. Only by being able to defeat the enemy without fighting will it be the best plan.
There were too many corpses of the Shu army on the battlefield. It was completely simple to strip hundreds of armor. Moreover, the more broken the armor, the better it was, this would undoubtedly be simpler. Any Shu army that was killed was not injured.
It would be more difficult to find a few intact pieces of armor from the pile of dead bodies, but if you look for broken clothes, you can just take it a little bit and you don’t need to pick and choose.
Therefore, the preparation time was relatively short. It took less than half an hour. The three or four hundred Wei completed the dress-up change, and he also changed his weapons. After all, the standard weapons used by the Wei army and the Shu army are completely different. If Xianyu wants to disguise himself, he needs to do it more carefully and not expose his strength at all.
The salted fish did not stop for more in the Wild Wolf Valley. After they were ready, they set off immediately.
Later, Shi Zhuan also left two thousand people to clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners of war. The rest of the troops, led by Shi Zhuan, followed the Xianyu team immediately, and kept a distance of about ten miles, and rushed towards Nanzheng according to their pre-program.
Yelangyu is twenty miles away from Lecheng and eighty miles away from Nanzheng. When the salted fish set off, it was actually almost sunset. It is not realistic to expect the salted fish to return to Nanzheng soon.
The salted fish stopped and stopped along the way, but they did not camp. They spent the whole night marching and stumbled through this section of the road along the way, and finally arrived at the city of Nanzheng at dawn.
At this moment, most of the Shu army who escaped from outside Yelang Valley had returned to Nanzheng, while a small number of people directly became deserters, threw away their weapons, took off their armor, and fled to the countryside.
After the others returned to Nanzheng, they truthfully reported the situation to Yan Tao, who was guarding the city.
What Yan Tao is most concerned about is naturally the whereabouts of Yan Yu. However, these Shu troops were intercepted by the Wei army outside the valley. They couldn't figure out what the situation inside the valley was, but there was no chance of danger, which was certain.
Yan Tao couldn't help but feel anxious. Yan Yu was not seen by anyone and could not see the corpse after he died. How could he feel relieved? He wanted to send someone out of the city to check immediately, but after these Shu troops fled back to Nanzheng, it was already midnight. Therefore, Yan Tao decided to act after dawn. In any case, he had to figure out Yan Yu's life and death situation.
Seeing that it was dawn, Yan Tao immediately summoned more than 20 scouts and his well-skilled confidants, preparing to let them go out of the city to go to Yelangyu to find out the news. Yan Tao gave them the order to see people alive and to see corpses alive. If they could not get the news from Yan Yu, they would not have to come back.
The scout and his personal soldiers were about to set off when suddenly someone came to report to Yan Tao, saying that the Chief Cheng Yu had returned with hundreds of remnants.
However, because Yan Tao had orders before, no one was allowed to open the city gate without his permission, so Cheng Yu is still waiting outside the city gate.
Yan Tao was stunned. All the Shu soldiers who fled back were intercepted by the Wei army outside the valley. As for the Shu soldiers trapped in the valley, none of them escaped. Because of this, Yan Tao was more worried about Yan Yu's whereabouts.
The chief Cheng Yu is the biggest celebrity around Yan Yu now. He is Yan Yu's top strategist. If he can escape from the Wei army, it means that Yan Yu has a great chance to survive. The worst case is that Cheng Yu can know Yan Yu's whereabouts, which is much better than sending some scouts and personal soldiers to find needles in a haystack.
Yan Tao didn't care about other things and immediately rushed to the city tower. At this time, Yan Tao was still a little rational. After all, he didn't know what was going on. Whether Cheng Yu had surrendered and the Wei army came to make the city on purpose. So Yan Tao still needs to check some things in person.
After getting up the city tower, Yan Tao recognized Cheng Yu at a glance. After all, he had had a lot of dealings with Cheng Yu over the past period of time, and they were quite familiar with each other.
Cheng Yu was indeed quite embarrassed, dressed in rags and covered in blood. He brought back not many people, only three or four hundred people, scattered, most of the soldiers were wearing colors, damaged armor, and lacked weapons, but a military flag was not falling.
However, the military flag seemed to be a little miserable, and only half of the Chinese characters were left to pull, and the remaining flags were floating, which shows how tragic the battle was.
"Changshi Cheng, where are you from and how do you look like this?" Yan Tao naturally believed it to be true when he saw the salted fish's embarrassing appearance.
When Xianyu saw Yan Tao appear, he told Yan Tao the whole story he made up. Yan Tao is the key to entering the city. Only when Yan Yu nodded and agreed to let him go, they are qualified to enter the city.
So the narration of Salted Fish was carefully prepared by him. It is both true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. The true is mixed with false, and the false is also contained in the false, true, false, false and false.
This was intentional by Xianyu. No one could understand the situation in Yelangyu better than his witness. Xianyu only needs to exchange and place key information, so Yan Tao would not be able to find the loopholes inside.
