Chapter 43 Cao Liu Sunnan's discussion of Yuan Shu Liu Xie Yuan Shaoshuang as emperor 7

The shouts of killing in the city gradually stopped, and the hearts of the people at the head of the city also raised their voices. At this time, the generals at the head of the city saw a long dragon coming towards the gate under the city. When people approached the moat, Yuan Yi and others finally saw that the city was indeed the flag of Ji Ling. Next to the flag of Ji Ling, there was still the name of Master Nanye, which surprised everyone in the city.

The people at the head of the city saw the army under the city approaching the gate. Several generals hit the horse and shouted first, "I am Mu Nanye of Jiaozhou. I was entrusted by Your Majesty to come with General Ji to rescue. Who is guarding the city?"

Yuan Yi knew that Master Nan Ye had a good relationship with his father. At the beginning, it was Nan Ye who asked Yuan Shu to rise up to welcome Emperor Liu Xie, so he did not suspect it. He lay at the head of the city and said, "Master, wait a moment, my little nephew Yuan Yi is here, and this will open the city." After saying that, Yuan Yi ordered people to open the city.

Yan Xiang grabbed Yuan Yi at this time and said, "Prince, wait a little. It's not too late for me to inquire and open the gate."

Yuan Yin said aside, "I have seen the mage's appearance before, can there be any fake? Do you think General Ji and the two mages, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang, are all there? What else do you want to ask?

Yan Xiang hesitated and said, "Why did General Ji lead the army and let the mage call the door?" It's better to inquire in case of fraud.

While arguing in the city, Ji Ling in the city came to Nanye with a three-point knife and said, "Why hasn't the prince opened the city yet? Shicai, a soldier suffered heavy casualties, and the last general was also injured by an arrow. He was about to find a doctor in the city for treatment. Please open the gate as soon as possible.

Yuan Yi was shocked to hear that Ji Ling was injured. He leaned over and saw that Ji Ling's face was full of blood and could not distinguish his appearance, but his figure, armor and unique weapon with three-pointed and two-edged knives could not be wrong. Then he said to the generals, "General Ji is injured. I'll wait to open the gate soon."

Yan Xiang heard that Ji Ling's voice was a little hoarse and wrong, so he asked everyone, "Can you hear that General Ji's voice is different?"

Yuan Yin said, "Don't be suspicious!" At that time, Master Nanye is fake, and now General Ji is also fake. How can Sun Ce find so many substitutes? If you are injured by an arrow, your voice will become hoarse and ask someone to shout for you. What's so strange?

Yuan Yi heard what his uncle Yuan Yin said. If Ji Ling was injured, it would make sense to ask Master Nan Ye to shout on his behalf, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city. Although Yan Xiang felt something was wrong, he was just suspicious. There was no conclusive evidence to deny Yuan Yin's words, so he had to let Yuan Yi open the city.

Nan Ye saw the suspension bridge put down under the city, and the gate opened, and he was finally relieved. What he was most afraid of was that the bodyguard's voice did not show flaws with Ji Ling, but everyone in the city was preconceived and thought that Ji Ling was under the city, so he did not find that Ji Ling's voice was different except for Yan Xiang.

When the gate opened, Nanye saw Yuan Yi leading the generals out of the city to welcome him. At this time, he did not dare to let the fake Ji Ling come forward, but made him retreat. He led the four generals of Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Zhao Yun and Yang Xiong to Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi was a little unhappy to see that Nan Ye did not disembage and salute, but it was not easy to blame him for coming all the way to rescue. First, he saluted Nan Ye and said, "The mage has worked hard all the way! The city has prepared a banquet, and invited the mages and generals to come to the city to rest.

Nan Ye looked at the corners of his eyes and knew that the generals behind him were already in place. He sat on the horse and arched his hand to Yuan Yi and shouted, "Kill!"

Before Yuan Yi realized what had happened, Dian Wei rushed forward and cut off Yuan Yi's head. Zhou Cang killed Yan Xiang, Zhao Yun stabbed Yuan Yin to death, and Yang Xiong stabbed Han Yin to death. Shouchun's four generals guarding the city did not fall, and they died in an instant, screaming and exclaimed.

Sun Ce was not far behind Nan Ye. Seeing that he got an order, he attracted the generals to rush up and changed his master in a moment. In this way, the strong city of Huainan was effortlessly defeated by Sun Ce and Nan Ye. At this time, Nan Ye had to admire Zhou Yu's clever plan. This seemingly simple battle. From Yuan Yi asked Yuan Shu for help, Zhou Yu began to layout.

It turned out that Yuan Yi sent someone to Yuan Shu's place to ask for help at the beginning of Sun Ce's siege. As a result, the messenger happened to be caught by Sun Ce, who was besieged the city. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sealed the letter as it was after reading the letter, but replaced the messenger with their own people.

Yuan Shu could not know every soldier under his command. After receiving the letter, he saw that it was Yuan Yi's handwriting and did not suspect the messenger. On the one hand, he ordered Ji Ling to send troops and write a reply to the messenger to bring it back.

Sun Ce's messenger would naturally not reply to Yuan Yi, but directly sent Yuan Shu back to Sun Ce. After reading the letter, Zhou Yu naturally knew Ji Ling's marching route, which made Nan Ye ambushed and intercept him halfway. Then he returned Yuan Shu to the envelope again, ordered the messenger to send him into the city, and injured the messenger who lied that Yuan Yi had sent a letter out of the city.

Yuan Yi mistakenly thought that Sun Ce's messenger was sent by Yuan Shu. When he saw Yuan Shu's letter, he did not doubt it and waited for Ji Lingbing to arrive. This eagerness of waiting for reinforcements happened to be used by Zhou Yu, which could successfully open the gate and break through Shouchun.

As soon as Shouchun broke, the land of Yuan Shuyang belonged to Sun Ce. Next, Sun Ce planned to march into Xuzhou and join hands with Cao Cao to eliminate Yuan Shu.

Zhou Yu advised Sun Ce: "The foundation of the new land of Yuan Shu is unstable. If you go to break through the city with Cao Mengde, the two armies will inevitably clash after the city is broken. In my opinion, it is better to encroach on the land south of Xia Pi and order people to send Yuan Yi and Ji Ling to help Cao Mengde break the city. If the lord subdues the south of Xuzhou, Cao Mengde has not yet broken the city, indicating that this person is nothing more than this, and the lord will start a war with him to seize the land of Xuzhou. If Cao Mengde can break through the Pi quickly, this person has some skills and is not easy to win. The lord might as well take the following as the boundary, and divide Xuzhou with it for the time being to stabilize the new land.

Sun Ce understands that Zhou Yu wants to test Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is a strong man, he will form an alliance with him to share his interests. If Cao Cao is a weak man, he will plunder the land. This plan was very safe. Sun Ce had no reason to disallow it, so he asked Zhou Yu, "Who can connect with Cao Mengde?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Mage Guanghua and Cao Mengde are old. They have saved their father, and they can do it."

Sun Ce shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate! If the mage inevitably wants to live in Cao Mengde to break through the city and capture Yuan Shu, how can he know whether it is Meng De's work or the mage's work? If we don't break down, won't we have to fight with the mage as the enemy?

Zhou Yu said, "The lord is too worried! In order to make it necessary to go ahead, the mage has to pledge the pawn and 40% of the capture to me. How can he help Cao Mengde by carrying us? This is one of them. Second, there are only hundreds of mage cavalry, and Cao Mengde does not get much help from the mage, and he still needs to rely on his own soldiers and horses to break the city. If he can't break the city with the help of the mage, it can only show that he is useless, and the lord is even less worried.
