Chapter 141: Intrigue (Part 1)

Liao Hua summoned several major tribes in the city to come, but had no other intention, just asked them to continue to contact the Wei army outside the city as bait. In this way, the Wei army did not understand the changes in the city, and the Shu Han gave information that was beneficial to the defenders, so they could gain the advantage in the battle. The major families did not dare to refuse, so they kept handing out of the city according to Liao Hua's instructions. The Wei people did not doubt and kept instructing the major families to act carefully.

Inside and outside cooperation are conventional means since the Wei army advanced westward, and are also a tried and true strategy. There are heavy troops in the central Shu Han garrison in Chang'an, which is just a meat on the chopping board in Sima Zhao's eyes. You should know that the aristocratic families in Chang'an could unite to gather nearly 100,000 servants, and these 100,000 people took up swords and guns and were ready-made combat power. It is not possible to fight hard with the Shu army, but it is enough for the inner supporter.

Liao Hua used civil servants as guards as guards and mixed in the army, and the news had long been spreading. As long as there was news from the aristocratic families in the city, it would mean that the Shu army was still guarding the city.

Sima Zhao climbed up to look at the Shu soldiers on the Chang'an city wall every day. He looked coldly and saw that there was no difference, but the difference was very obvious when he carefully observed.

"What you say is not false!" Sima Zhao said with a smile.

"Duke Jin, when will we attack the city?" Xu Yi was itchy and his hands were itchy, so he inquired.

"Siege the city? Haha, don't worry!" Sima Zhao smiled mysteriously and turned back to the camp.

The Wei army did not move, but Liao Hua and others rushed to train the newly-organized army. These people were servants from various families, most of whom had a foundation in martial arts. It was much easier to choose an elite army to train than ordinary recruits, and the effect was a little better.

At first, the Shu army was worried that these people were used to being grandfathers in various houses and houses and were not easy to control, but in practice, they found that they were all very honest, very attentive and dedicated. The reason was that the masters of each household were curled up by the Han army to make this virtue. Do those who are slaves still have the courage to pick them up...

Sima Zhao's army was stationed twenty miles outside Chang'an City, although it was not close or far away. The scouts of Shu Han could go out of the city to investigate whether they were day or night. As long as they were careful, it would not be a problem to return to the city safely. All the counties around were Cao Wei, and Sima Zhao was not afraid of the Shu army spying out any information. Instead, they made Liao Hua, Ma Xiu, Du Zhen, and Jiang Bin's group of Shu generals not understand the intention.

It is obviously good for the Wei army not to attack the city. Liao Hua and others have enough time to train new recruits and have enough time to set traps for the Wei people through various major families. But on the other hand, the Wei army not to attack the city is not conducive to the Shu army. The calmer Sima Zhao was, it means that he was very confident in Zhong Hui. If the reinforcements from Shu Han could not reach Chang'an, he would naturally not be in a hurry to achieve success.

Wei Jun was always very calm and cautious about the connection with the families in the city. The same information had to be repeatedly confirmed by several families before it could be believed, which invisibly made it much more difficult for Liao Hua and others to set up traps.

Some families have special relationships to use, but some families do not. The intelligence of each major family will not be the same, and the time of contact with the Wei people is different. The content of the information needs to be changed over time. What is more difficult is that the information the Wei people asked for inquiry was very detailed. It seems irrelevant issues, but in the subtle points, it can reflect the actual situation in the city, thereby confirming the authenticity and accuracy of other information.

The key to the current situation lies in the battlefield on the Western Front and the attitude of the Eastern Wu. The victory or defeat on the Western Front determines the actions of the Wu people; the attitude of the Wu people also affects the victory or defeat on the Western Front. Xicheng County has a small area, and you only need to stay steadily and there will be no worries. There is no need to take risks with yourself, not to mention that the Zhuge crossbows are extremely powerful, and the loss of troops in Xicheng County is also difficult to afford.

The tug-of-war continued like this, and the Wu army in Jingzhou and others were quite impatient. Baqiu gathered more than 30,000 Wu troops, plus the Wu army in Xiangyang, Jiangling, *** and other places, and already had an army of 110,000 to 20,000 people. Among them were conventional troops, defenders everywhere, and temporary militias.

No matter what kind of soldiers it is, they eat food and consume local resources. From the conscripts and transportation of supplies from various places in Jingzhou to the places where the troops are stationed, it is easy to say that those who are close are close, while those who are far away are all consumed on the road, and the losses are huge.

He wanted to attack Baidi City, but found that Huo Yi, the army of the general of the Shu Han cavalry, had already entered Baidi City. He wanted to cross the river to fight the Wei people, but he was really unsure of victory under the pressure of the Wei cavalry. It was even more frustrating to wait for the situation to change. Shu Han and Cao Wei were confronting Xicheng County in such a confrontation, without any intention of starting a war.

The food and salary of more than 100,000 troops was not a small amount. Shi Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Wu State of Jingzhou Military Region, was frowning, so he had to send someone to Jianye to ask the Lord Wu Sun Liang to make a decision.

For Wu, delaying time is indeed a good move, but some local environments are really not conducive to the endless Toya.

If domestic troops are stationed on the front line for a long time, those Shanyue and ethnic minorities will have the idea of ​​rebellion. The premise of force suppression is deterrence. How can a deterrence be produced without military garrison?

Before he knew it, he had been in Jiangdong for nearly a month. Huang Chong fought with the ministers of Jiangdong every day and debated endlessly, but there was no result.

This was an obvious delay, and at this time, Cao Wei was already confronting the Shu army head-on in Chang'an. Huang Chong was angry and had no choice but to do anything. The Lord of Wu, Sun Liang, did not nod, and although Lu Kai nodded, he did not leave the mansion and did not write memorials. After a while, Huang Chong lost his temper.

Xun Xu was secretly happy, and the fools could see how mentally the Wu people were. He also delayed the Wei side and had no hope. The more distant the relationship between Jiangdong and Western Shu was, the more beneficial it would be to Wei. When the battle in Chang'an came to an end, most of the Jiangdong families stood on their side, and at that time they would have a better grasp than imagined convinced the Eastern Wu to betray the alliance with Shu Han. So Xun Xu drank and had fun with the heroes of Jiangdong every day, and lived a very relaxed life.

Huang Chong thought for a few days and finally made up his mind, he ordered his warriors to investigate the terrain of the inn, pay attention to Xun Xu's movements, and prepare to assassinate Xu!

The envoy of Shu Han killed the envoy of Wei in Jianye, the capital of Wu. How did Wu explain to Wei? How did he face his allies Shu Han?

You are not clear about Jiangdong and Cao Wei, but I am Shu Han and Cao Wei. The people in Jiangdong are unwilling to break up, so the bad guys have to do it themselves. Kill Xun Xu and force Jiangdong to make a decision, and at the same time have their own position. Although it is inevitable to die, it is worth it to die.

The followers around him repeatedly dissuaded him by Huang Chong. If this continues, Chang'an will be in danger and Shu Han will be in danger. At this time, sacrifice for the country is the righteousness and we must be obliged to do so!

In the driveway outside the inn, Xun Xu was drinking back in the car and was a little drunk. He was helped out of the car in a hazy state. He saw a person standing at the entrance of the inn. He carefully identified it but he recognized it as Huang Chong, the envoy of Shu Han!
