Chapter 187 The door opens

Since Li Wenming was forced to give up the last surprise attack on Xianyang, he no longer consulted Fusu, but instead did what he could in Shangjun City. This time Fusu sent troops to attack Xianyang and other places, Li Wenming wanted to follow him

, he tried his best to do his best, but in the end he was afraid that people would say that he only cared about personal grudges and gave up. But last time Fusu sent a letter saying that he had arrived at Xianyang City. It had been many days but no news of the capture of Xianyang had come.

, Li Wenming knew that Fusu's army was in trouble there, so after defeating Zhang Han and leaving, Li Wenming took several followers and rushed to Xianyang day and night. He knew that he still had some weapons in his hands.

The final trump card to defeat Xianyang. Although Xianyang City changed hands several times and many people may no longer be around, Li Si's power back then was not so easy to understand.

When Fusu heard that the person outside the camp was Li Wenming, he remembered what he had long forgotten. Back then, he dared to surprise Xianyang with 10,000 or 20,000 troops. He relied on Li Si's strength left in Xianyang.

Unfortunately, he was unable to make the trip due to the obstruction of the Huns, and he forgot about it. Now he remembered it again. If Li Si still had influence in Xianyang City, then it would not be difficult to take the city down.

Thinking of this, Fusu immediately left the camp and welcomed Li Wenming in. After these years of training, Li Wenming lost his original bookishness and became a little more calm. After entering the tent and greeting Fusu, Li Wenming

Asked: "I wonder how sure the prince is about taking Xianyang City now?"

Fusu smiled bitterly and said: "If we sent troops to attack regardless of gains and losses, maybe we would have captured Xianyang City long ago, but if we wanted to capture it with relatively small casualties, it would not be that easy. In the past few days, we

We only besieged Xianyang but not attacked it, and the news reached the city that Zhang Han was defeated and could not return reinforcements. However, the Qin army's defense still did not relax. Therefore, if we wanted to break the city, we had to attack by force.

"Having said this, Fusu looked at Li Wenming but smiled without saying a word.

Li Wenming also understood what he meant, so he smiled and said: "It seems that the prince also remembered that the people my father had arranged in Xianyang City were here. Although the throne has been changed several times, some people still cannot be changed. As long as they are still here

In the city, based on my father's kindness to them back then, I think they are still willing to cooperate with us."

Fusu frowned and said: "But now the four gates of Xianyang City are closed and no one can enter or exit at all. How can you pass the news in? If you don't contact them, even if they still have the ability and the intention to do things for Prime Minister Li,

It’s impossible to help us.”

"My late father had thought of this a long time ago, so I came all the way here." Li Wenming said as he took out a silk book and spread it out in front of Fu Su, "Not only does it have

At that time, the official positions held by the internal officials in the city also had a secret method of contacting them, so they could know about us even if we were outside the city."

Fusu took a look and saw that it was filled with densely packed names and official positions, and at the end was a rhythm of waving torches. He thought it was the way to contact people in the city. So Fusu safely handed over the matter to

Li Wenming came to Li Wenming and said to him: "As long as I can use your method to capture Xianyang, I will agree to whatever you ask for."

Li Wenming said: "I need fifty soldiers to listen to my orders, and a drum, and let them beat the rhythm according to my orders at night." Fusu naturally agreed to these conditions. So the new

A round of attacks on Xianyang began again, but this time instead of using force, spies were used.

It was late at night, and the Qin army in Xianyang City had already fallen asleep. Just as they were sleeping soundly, suddenly there was a drumming sound of "dong dong dong dong..." outside the city, and they immediately jumped up to get it.

Grabbing their weapons, they rushed toward the city wall. Since the last night attack failed, the Fusu Army's plan to disturb the enemy was no longer useful. Now that they heard the deafening drums, all the Qin soldiers thought that the Fusu Army was coming again.

There was a sneak attack, so he quickly prepared everything and wanted to give the deputy army a head-on attack.

But when they walked to the city wall, they found that the situation was not as they imagined, because there were no soldiers shouting to kill outside the city, only the drums were beating. Could it be that the Fusu Army was using their old tricks again, using harassment and harassment?

Is this the enemy's plan? Every soldier couldn't help but wonder, but for the sake of safety, they still climbed to the top of the city to see what happened. They went up to the city and asked the soldiers guarding it, but they couldn't tell them.

So when they came, they heard the rhythmic beating of drums coming from the city, but not a single soldier came out of the Fusu formation. After hearing this, all the Qin soldiers cursed and went back to sleep. They thought that this should be the place where they came with the former soldiers.

It's been the same trick for a few days now, and it's not worth worrying about.

But the sound of drums is no longer like this to the ears of caring people, such as Wu Shan, the current commander of the East Gate. He was originally just a gatekeeper of the East Gate, but because later during the Fusu attack, many people with higher authority than him were

He died, so in the end he was given a very senior position. Although this official position was just a small thing in Xianyang City, he was very content with it. When fighting against the Fusu Army, he often took the lead, so he was very popular with the soldiers below.

Admiration. But who knows that a few years ago, he was framed and almost died in prison. If Li Si hadn't rescued him and arranged for him to be the guard of Dongcheng, he would have been dead by now.

Turned into a pile of bones. When he heard the promised drum beat, he jumped up. Now he no longer had to go to the city to watch the night, so he slept in his own home in Xianyang. His mother-in-law heard him

He stood up and said hurriedly: "Is the Fusu Army coming to attack again at night? You have to be careful." After saying that, he got off the bed first and lit the oil lamp on the table in front of the bed so that he could hurry up.

Dress neatly. These days, whenever there is any disturbance, Wu Shan will go out immediately, and his mother-in-law has long been used to it.

But this time Wu Shan did not go out immediately, but looked at his mother-in-law quietly. Since marrying him, this woman has been very busy at home, so that he can safely defend the city and fight outside.

There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes. In the end, he just said: "You can stay at home and stay at ease." Then he left the house and walked towards the unknown future. His mother-in-law looked at him strangely, wondering what happened to him today.

, but thinking that the Fusu Army would attack the city sooner or later, she began to worry.

When many noble and humble people in the city heard the sound of the drum, they made some moves that made their relatives confused. The soldiers who had no relatives clenched their weapons. They all rushed to several places.

city ​​wall.

As Wu Shan walked towards the east gate, he thought in his heart: "The Prime Minister indeed has descendants left behind. It seems that he has taken refuge in Fusu's tent. This time he summoned us individually to help us."

They should let us cooperate with the Soviet army to open the city gate so that they can successfully take Xianyang. In order to repay the prime minister's great kindness, I have been waiting for several years. This time, I must complete their orders even if my life is lost.

." Thinking of this, Wu Shan had already arrived at the east gate.

When several soldiers saw him coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and then said: "Sir, you don't have to come. We have already gone up to the city to have a look. There are only drums and no enemies outside the city. I think they are disturbing the enemy again."

It’s a plan.”

Wu Shan hesitated, but still walked towards the city and said, "I'd better go up to the city and have a look, otherwise I won't be worried."

The soldiers immediately praised: "Just say that our chief is the most responsible among the four sects in Xianyang."

Wu Shan didn't say anything. He climbed to the top of the city and looked outside. At this time, it was still dark outside the city and no one could be seen. Wu Shan was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to stay at the top of the city.

Thinking that he was inspecting the situation in the city, suddenly there was a light of fire under the city. Wu Shan immediately focused all his attention on the fire. It was the light emitted by a burning torch. He saw the torch burning in the air.

He waved, and Wu Shan stared at the light without blinking, comparing it with the agreement that he had already remembered in his heart, and said in his heart: "At the fourth watch tonight, open the east gate and let the army enter!" Twelve

Despite the content of the words, the torch was waving outside the city for half an hour.

After Wu Shan read the content several times to confirm that it was correct, he calmed down completely. He looked at the sky and found that it was already the third watch, which meant that in another hour, he would have to fight for the promise he made back then.

He fought to the death. But he didn't flinch at all in his heart. Instead, he felt a sense of relief, because Li Si's instructions had always been on his mind, and he couldn't tell the secret to him even if he was close to him.

Wu Shan simply stopped going home, and instead lingered at the east gate. When a soldier asked, he said that he couldn't sleep, so he might as well guard the city. All the soldiers showed admiration on their faces.

At the fourth watch, the Fusu Army had already gathered together and was waiting for the situation at the east gate. Once the east gate opened, they would rush in with lightning speed. Now it depends on whether everything Li Wenming did

It worked.

In fact, Li Wenming is not sure. After all, it has been some years since Li Si's house was confiscated and his family was exterminated. Maybe the people originally posted in the city are still there, whether they will abandon everything now and risk their lives, and even whether they still remember the agreement.

The secret code is also uncertain, so who among the Fusu Army is the most nervous now, it must be Li Wenming.

Li Wenming's eyes were fixed on the city gate, and he didn't even dare to take a breath, as if if he breathed out, the city gate would not open. Fusu also saw his nervousness and smiled: "

Mr. Li doesn't have to be like this, even if your method is useless, it is only a matter of time before Xianyang City is captured." Although he said it easily, he was extremely nervous in his heart.
