Chapter 14 second quarter

At the same time, Wang Fu has completed the initial assembly in the school grounds in the south of Xudu City. At this time in Xudu City, there were four relatively powerful forces: Wangfu's 400-member trilogy, Xuduwei's 300 people, Suwei's 150 people, and Deng Zhan's 50 tiger and leopard cavalry.There are also some guards or private soldiers in the official residences of other officials, and there are quite a few people in total, but they are too scattered to be counted. On the surface, the Cao family has at least 750 troops in their hands, which is more than enough for the royal family's 150 troops.But in fact, most of them have turned to Dong Cheng.At this time, the comparison of military strength in Xudu City was actually 550 men from the Luoyang family versus 350 men from the Cao family.What's more, Xu Duwei's people were scattered all over Xudu, and they couldn't make a fist if they couldn't get together.

According to Dong Cheng's plan, Wang Fu's subordinates had to assemble before evening, and after sunset, the whole team headed north along Suzaku Street, heading directly towards Xu Duwei, who was located on the north side of Xu Capital.As long as Man Chong is controlled, Xu Duwei will lose half of his power. At the same time when Wang Fu encircled and suppressed Xu Duwei, Wu Shuo rushed to the four gates with the edict in hand to control the city gates as soon as possible.Xun Yu ordered the four doors to be closed, but he helped Wu Shuo a lot.As soon as the mutiny started, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to open the city without authorization, so no one could leave Xu Capital City in a short time, which could delay Cao Ren's return as much as possible.

Zhong Ji led most of the guards and more than a dozen masters from Dong Cheng's mansion to the west of the city.That was where Deng Zhan was stationed. In view of the combat effectiveness of the tiger and leopard cavalry, they would surround them but not annihilate them. As for Dong Cheng, he will go directly to the imperial city with the Luoyang officials. When the overall situation is settled, Yang Xiu will bring his majesty to the imperial palace, where the emperor will issue an edict calling for princes from all over the world to go to King Xu Qin.As for Cao Cao's family members, they will be handed over to the guard soldiers who have been stationed in Sikong Mansion...

As the most important part of the whole plan, whether Wang Fu can gather troops in time is the key to action.They nominally belonged to Xu Duwei, and were divided into dozens of groups scattered throughout Xu Du.In order to gather them together so as not to arouse Man Chong's suspicion, Wang Fu asked them to go to the Nancheng school grounds to collect them together in the name of payment. As a result, the gathering speed of his subordinates was slower than expected. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he only got together less than 300 people.In order to avoid attracting attention, they did not go to the arsenal to get infantry armor. Most of them wore coarse linen clothes, and the weapons in their hands were only wooden spears for city defense, and there were no more than a few dozen short knives.

This kind of armed force can only be suicidal against the regular army, but it is enough for Xu Duwei. At this time, the box for the salary was placed in the middle of the school yard, and the copper coins and cloth inside were exposed, and many soldiers stared straight at it, showing greedy expressions.Some of the soldiers in this army were disciples of the Wang family's swordsmanship, and some were the gangsters Wang Fu met when he was a ranger, so the military discipline was not strict.Except for a few confidant disciples, the others did not know Wang Fu's true intentions.How to control this group of people to rebel is also a big question.

Wang Fu climbed up to the watchtower irritably, trying to take advantage of the last ray of light to see the movement in the distance.Diao Dou on the tower knocked three times, the towers on all sides raised fire, and Xu Du officially entered the curfew. "Can't wait!" Wang Fu walked down the watchtower, wiping his anxiety off his face.Due to the long stay of this army, it has already aroused the suspicion of the nearby Cao Jun and Xu Duwei's spies. If they stay still, they may be exposed. He ordered the soldiers to form a whole column and divide into three phalanxes.The soldiers realized that this was not the formation for queuing up to collect their pay. Seeing that it was already dark, they were a little confused, and the rear team even started to clamor.Wang Fu walked over and flipped over the box containing the military pay, and the money and silk inside were scattered all over the ground with a "crash".The soldiers stared wide-eyed, looking at the general suspiciously.

Wang Fu looked at them majestically, put his foot on the half-tilted box, and shouted loudly: "All soldiers obey orders!" The clamor of the soldiers subsided. "Now there are treacherous officials in the city of Xudu who are in rebellion. I submit to His Majesty's decree to quell the rebellion. Your Majesty said that after the incident is completed, everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of gold and be promoted to three ranks! The family of the thieves will save money and let you take it at will." .” Wang Fu knew that it was meaningless to tell them to be loyal to the emperor, so it was better to lure them with naked benefits.After he finished speaking, Wang Fu's cronies in the team started to shout, and it sounded like a large group of people were responding.The unique herd mentality of human beings makes those who hesitate to follow suit.

The schoolyard official heard the noise and hurried over to ask what happened.Wang Fu smiled coldly, the knife flashed in his hand, and blood spattered.The entire schoolyard immediately fell into silence.Cao Gong's military law was strict, and he practiced continuous sitting. At this time, Wang Fu beheaded and killed the officials in public. According to the law, these people under his command cannot escape the guilt. Once you see blood, there is no turning back. Wang Fu stepped on his mount, held up his long sword still dripping with blood, and shouted: "Follow me!" He rushed out of the school field first, and the team of more than 300 people barely formed a marching formation, and began to walk along Zhuque Street toward the school. The north is running forward - many of the soldiers have not even figured out who the treacherous officials in Xudu are, and they are running forward with a sense of obedience.

They had to cross Suzaku Street as quickly as possible and surround Xu Duwei.Xu Duwei is like an octopus, its tentacles are all over the city, omnipotent, but the head is the most vulnerable.As long as they surround Xu Duwei before Man Chong notices, it will be tantamount to winning the game, otherwise Man Chong and Xu Duwei will both hide in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to show their fangs. In the darkness, metal weapons clanged and collided, and countless feet stepped on the stone pavement of Suzaku Avenue, making a dull rattling sound, like a shower falling on the ground.Because of the curfew, there were no civilians on this bustling road during the daytime, only the unlucky patrols who occasionally passed by, who were either killed cleanly or coerced into the ranks.

Wang Fu raised his head to look, and saw that three of the four gate guard lights that were supposed to stay on all night had already been extinguished, replaced by three torches.He was overjoyed. It seemed that Wu Shuo's side was going very well, and he had already captured three city gates.Now as long as the Changde Gate in the north falls, it means that Xu Du is completely locked.Xudu is completely their world. In the faint moonlight, Wang Fu could already see the vague outline of Xu Duwei's building in front of him.He quickly made a gesture to the two officers, and the two understood, and each led a few people out of the main force, outflanking them from the left and right directions to ensure that the encirclement was completed as soon as possible.The lights in Xu Duwei were as bright as beans, and it seemed that he was completely unaware of the imminent disaster.

Wang Fu clenched his long sword tightly, and his heart and mind were united. At this time, he has returned to the invincible ranger back then. "Tang Ying, you wait for me." Wang Fu said silently in his heart. When Wang Fu charged, Wu Shuo was looking up at Changdeok Gate three miles north of him.The smooth progress of the door-seizing operation even surprised Wu Shuo himself.In just half an hour, Wu Shuo had already seen the guard lights of the three city gates come down. Xu Du is too big, and Dong Cheng's troops are stretched, so there are not many people assigned to him, only twenty people and four letters of imperial edict.Wu Shuo and the other three went to the four gates with several attendants and an edict. As for how to seize the gate, it depends on their own methods. Now it seems that no matter whether the other three methods are soft or hard, they have been successfully won. "It's up to me!" Wu Shuo licked his lips, he was full of confidence in himself.Handing over Liu Bei, adding sand to Xu Duwei, and seizing the door, everything was difficult, but he completed it perfectly.Wu Shuo firmly believes that in this era, there will always be some people who are talented, and that person will not be Yang Xiu, but himself. Wu Shuo took out the edict and walked to Changde's gate.He has studied Changdemen thoroughly, Chengmen Ling is a simple and simple old head, with a relatively simple mind, he only obeys when he is full of favors, and it is useless to rely on preaching righteousness.Fortunately, in the previous action to rectify Suwei and Xu Duwei, Wu Shuo mixed several Wang Fu's subordinates into Changdemen.At that time, as long as I can deceive for a while, I can respond internally and externally, and kill this order with the momentum of thunder, and then show the order, which will definitely shock the crowd. He walked over and was about to call out the name of the city gate order when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.In the dark gate of the tower directly opposite, there was a heavy and long sound of metal rubbing. This voice only means one thing: the gate of Changdeok Gate is slowly opening. "What's going on here? Could it be that they've already noticed it?" A thought flashed through Wu Shuo's mind, but was denied immediately, "If there is a change in the city of Xu, the guards should act urgently if the situation is unknown. Close the door. Maybe some messenger is out of town urgently." Back ten thousand steps, even if the defenders sense something is wrong and open the city gate, it doesn't matter.Due to General Dong Cheng's skillful hand, within a radius of several tens of miles of Xudu, the Cao family should have no soldiers to fight. Thinking of this episode, Wu Shuo made up his mind, and said to the followers behind him: "Follow me in, and do what I see." The followers did not move, but pointed to the darkness of the city gate in horror, opened their mouths wide but could not make a sound. Wu Shuo noticed their strange expressions, and when he looked back, his pupils suddenly shrank. "This, how is this possible!" This became Wu Shuo's last words in this world.
