Chapter 1409 Fraud
"In three days, build arms, prepare gunpowder, and attack the city after you are ready!" Guan Yu ordered everyone.
"promise!"
Guan Yu thought about it again and said, "Sun's favorite sneak attack. Now that our army has just arrived, the camp is unstable. Although Xu Sheng is old, he is quite brave.
Ping'er, you lead two thousand troops to ambush in the front camp, and if it attacks, leave it behind!"
"promise!"
Guan Yu guessed correctly. Xu Sheng in Chaisang City ignored Wu Fen's opposition and took the initiative to go out of the city to attack at night that night. As a result, he was caught by Guan Ping, who was prepared. If he hadn't run fast, he would have really stayed under Guan Ping's knife.
After another defeat, Xu Shengdi lost his mind to repel Guan Yu. While sending someone to ask Sun Ce for help, he focused on defending the city.

"Guan Yunchang is worthy of being Guan Yunchang and has won another big victory!"
Ma Qiang smiled and said to the left and right, "It seems that it is only a matter of time before Yangzhou is pacified."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "General Anton's progress is also very smooth, and the siege of Peng Ze has been basically completed."
"Okay, if you take down Pengze's troops, Sun Jian from Wujun has no choice but to surrender."
As he said that, Ma Qiang glanced at Lu Xun.
Sure enough, Lu Xun came out.
"General, I have a plan for humble position!"
"Oh? What strategy? Tell me!"
Lu Xun immediately said, "I heard that many officers among the Sun's generals came from Danyang, and now the families of these people have fallen into the hands of General Anton.
If our army comforted these people more and asked them to write to the Sun soldiers, no need to say anything else, just tell the truth, and the Sun army will understand its own mind!"
A scheming?
Ma Qiang suddenly remembered that in history, the Eastern Wu white clothes crossed the river, successfully causing Guan Yu's army to fall apart, and finally forced Guan Yu to lose to Maicheng.
Since it has been effective in history, it is indeed worth trying.
Ma Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, this matter will be handled with you with full authority. If it is really effective, it will be considered a great achievement!"
"promise!"
Ma Qiang took a breath and stood up and said, "Transfer the order, the whole army marched towards Peng Ze, the goal - to attack Sun Liu!"
"Attack and destroy Sun Liu!!"
While Ma Qiang ordered the general to march, Zhao Yun's troops gradually approached Peng Ze.
On the other side, a conspiracy is being staged.
——Wujun**
The news that Zhao Yun led his army across the river had reached Wujun. Wujun was shocked three times a day, and rumors of Sun Ce's defeat were everywhere. Zhang Zhao couldn't stop him, so he could only send troops to patrol the city continuously, prohibiting the people from discussing the war.
But what's the use of preventing people from speaking than guarding against Sichuan?
Especially with the continuous continuous officials and powerful people who fled from Danyang to Wu County, the news that the Hebei army was about to take down the entire Danyang County was spreading quickly.
You should know that Danyang is not only the connection between Wujun and Yuzhang, but also a place for strong troops. A large number of middle and low-level officers in the Yangzhou army came from Danyang. When many people learned that their hometown was captured by the enemy, they couldn't help but feel worried.
This gave Gu Yong and others the opportunity to win over the hearts of the people.
"Everyone, these are all letters from your family to you, please read them yourself."
In Gu Yong's house, dozens of officers looked at each other, and then stepped forward to take their letters from home one by one.
These letters were able to arrive so quickly, thanks to Si**. In order to successfully implement the plan, Lu Xun directly generated power to Si** and Pang Tong to discuss the matter. Pang Tong was following Lin Hai to guide Lujiang. Si** took it and collected the letters in just two days and sent them to the jointman in Wujun.
Everyone opened the letter at home and found that it was indeed a familiar handwriting. Many people's hearts that had been hanging around these days were finally put back into their stomachs.
"The general represents the court, so he naturally will not do those dirty things.
But if someone is determined to resist the court, you should also know the way the court treats the thieves.
You should have a clear idea of where to go!"
These people were all military officers from Danyang, Jiujiang and other places. Now that they learned that their family was fine, they couldn't help but feel grateful to Ma Qiang. Except for a few people, most of them immediately expressed their willingness to surrender to the court anyway.
Gu Yong looked at the two or three Junhous who showed resentment on their faces and did not express their opinions so quickly, and kept noticing it. He smiled and said, "Okay, since you have understood the general trend, then go back first. ** When the time is ripe, we will do a big thing together!"
Everyone thanked and retreated. Gu Yong called someone to secretly give a few instructions, and the man nodded and retreated.
After a quarter of an hour, those people just came back, but there were only a few people missing. As for why there were several people missing, everyone knew in their hearts.
In those days, probably, maybe, I guess I won't appear in this world again.
——
"What? A banquet?"
Zhang Zhao frowned and asked, "Why do you want to hold a banquet?"
Zhang Yun smiled and said, "It was Yuan Tan's thirty birthday. The current situation is special. I dare not do a big fuss, I just asked us to have a small gathering."
"He didn't know the situation in Yangzhou now, and he held a banquet at this time..."
Zhang Zhao shook his head, his face full of unhappiness.
"Hey, Yuan Tan also knew that the situation was tense at this time, so he was ready to take out 90% of Gu's grain stored in the treasury. Mr. Zhang, what about Yuan Tan's move?"
"really?"
There are not many things like money and grain. As one of the four major tribes in Wu County, 90% of the stored grain can be used to supply tens of thousands of troops.
"This wine should indeed be drunk! Not only do I want to come, I also want to invite the old general to congratulate Yuanshang together!"
"This...no need?"
"Hey, whether the old general is going or not, let's listen to the old general. When will the banquet begin?"
"tomorrow!"
"Okay, then I'll talk to the old general now."
"By the way, Yuan Tan specifically instructed me before coming that the food was too much and too eye-catching, so it would be better to send a loyal, brave and reliable person to pick him up."
"It's reasonable!" Zhang Zhao nodded repeatedly and finally said, "Let Zi Gang go!"
"Ah? This...is this too high a specification?"
"It's not high, Zi Gang did this before, and it's decided!"
Zhang Yun didn't say anything else, but just stepped back on behalf of Gu Yong.
After Zhang Yun left, Zhang Zhao frowned and thought for a while, and attracted trustworthy people to go out to inquire about the news to see if Gu Yong and other major clans had any movement to mobilize their troops.
The results showed that everything was normal, and there was no sign of mobilizing manpower among the Gu family.
Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and then went to report to Sun Jian.
After learning about this, Sun Jian was as happy as Zhang Zhao expected and happily agreed to go to Gu Yong's birthday banquet.
Soon, another day passed.
