The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 221 Disguise
"I didn't give him this lesson, he gave it to himself. If he doesn't choose to attack the next city, nothing will happen. It depends on what he does." Xue Zhongchang said softly.

Since a while ago, Wang Gang came to him with a secret military order and asked him to put Xia Houchun under house arrest.Before this, Yang Qinghuai hadn't had any problems.But after Wang Gang transported the food away, Yang Qinghuai began to be extremely courteous to Xiahouchun who was under house arrest. As he was also a son of a powerful man, he would visit Xiahouchun's place under house arrest whenever he had time every day. Some wine and meat to eat.

It is because Xia Houchun has no strength in his hands that he is directly under house arrest and cannot go anywhere.Now that Yang Qinghuai posted it, he would naturally not let it go, so he was also very enthusiastic about Yang Qinghuai.

After coming and going, the relationship between the two has greatly improved. As the relationship between Yang Qinghuai and Xia Houchun improved, Yang Qinghuai's attitude towards the generals outside also began to change.

For some generals, they also began to win over.If anyone is unwilling to take refuge in him, he will use his identity to suppress them.With this method, it allowed him to win over a group of generals for a while.

However, his status is only a substandard one, and with Xue Zhongchang on top of him, he doesn't dare to go too far.So Xue Zhongchang didn't take action against him for the sake of harmony in the army.

However, this time, Changsun Ji sent a military order to go north to attack Yangping. As a result, this guy didn't want to make more military achievements here, but found some reasons, refused to obey, and even asked his subordinates to confront him. sing.This really made Xue Zhongchang a little angry.

Fortunately, he held back at that time, thinking of Yang Qinghuai's character, so he pushed the boat and left him here, and designed a trap for him by the way.

After all, if he hadn't given him [-] soldiers, Yang Qinghuai might not have dared to capture the next city after capturing Juyang.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you should step back and rest early, and you will be leaving at Yinshi tomorrow." Xue Zhongchang glanced at Ma Daoping, who was standing not far from him, and said.

This person was originally invited to teach martial arts for the juniors in the mansion, his surname was Ma and his name was Di and his name was Daoping.Some martial arts foundation.Because of the disaster, he became a disaster victim.

During the capture of Juancheng, this man made meritorious service and was promoted to a position. Later, when he attacked Chengyang, he was the first person to break into the city gate, which made Xue Zhongchang notice him.

Originally, Xue Zhong saw that he was very brave when attacking the city, and thought that his character was a bit reckless, but he didn't expect that when talking with him in private, he found that he not only had a calm personality, but also had his own opinions on things, which is a talent.

So Xue Zhongchang moved to cherish talents.He was promoted to general.Because this person was single-handedly selected by him, so he is one of his own, there is no need for him to hide some things from him, and there is no need to have an affair with him.

"Oh, there's no problem. The purpose of Beizhi's visit this time is to remind the general to pay attention to General Yang, and since the general has already planned Zeng Yang to deal with him, then it's fine, and Xiaozhi resigns." Ma Di clasped his hands.

Xue Zhongchang nodded.Then, Ma Di withdrew.

On the second day at Yinshi, after breakfast, Xue Zhongchang set off with his soldiers, starting from Chengyang, marching all the way to Qinting, and then crossing the river from Qinting.

At this time, the weather was cold, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the river.There is no need to make any tools to cross the river, just step on the ice and cross the river.

After crossing the river, Xue Zhongchang did not go to Dongwuyang to meet Changsun Ji because he was afraid of being discovered by the scouts of the Liang army. Instead, according to Changsun Ji's previous plan, he directly detoured to the north of Yangping City.

Then they sent scouts to inquire about the news, and learned that the Liang army had sent the main force to encircle and suppress Changsun Ji for four days. At this time, there were only less than [-] defenders in the city.

Afterwards, Xue Zhongchang divided his troops into eight thousand.Block the road from Yangping to Dongwuyang, so that after Yangping is defeated, deserters from Yangping will report the news to the main force of the grain army.

Because the Liang army had been encircled and suppressed for four days, Xue Zhongchang didn't know the situation of Dongwuyang, so he could only think about capturing Yangping as much as possible.

So that night, he planned to send a thousand soldiers to take off the uniforms of the Yan army, pretend to be the Liang army, and act as messengers for the leader of the Liang army to deliver messages to the soldiers left behind in Yangping.

Because the Liang army is just a peasant uprising soldier, there is no uniform uniform.Except for some small units of the Liang army, there will be one or two small parts seized from the Yan army, and all the other grain troops wear their own clothes.

As long as Yan Jun took off his uniform, lay down on the ground and rolled a few times, made it dirty, and then cut a few pieces of wood to make wooden guns as weapons, he was no different from Liang Jun soldiers.

Especially with the current night, it is impossible for the Liangjun standing on the city wall to tell whether they are really Liangjun.

Therefore, when the night arrived at midnight, Xue Zhongchang ordered Ma Di to push the cart with the disguised soldiers to the official road not far from the north gate.On the other hand, he led the cavalry to hide in the distance and watched Yangping, and he was always ready to create time for the army to enter the city after the city gate was deceived.

In addition, Xue Zhongchang also selected a hundred soldiers with good skills from the army, dressed in night clothes, and hid under the city wall, in order to prevent the city gate from being swindled if the horse flute did not open it.They took the opportunity to climb up the city wall and opened the city gate from the inside.

After everything was ready, Xue Zhongchang waved to the orderly, and it wasn't long after the orderly turned and left.On the main road of Yangping North Gate, there is a convoy of two or three hundred soldiers walking slowly towards Yangping holding torches.

As a result, he went all the way to the front of the city, but he still couldn't see him. Another soldier on the city wall asked.So, when he got to the front of the city, Ma Di had no choice but to shout to the top: "Listen, people above, open the city gate quickly."

After shouting, there was no movement above.After shouting three or four times, I saw the heads of two soldiers slowly sticking out from above, looking at the group of people below the city from the top of the city wall.

"Who are you?" Liang Jun on the city shouted to Ma Di and the others.

Hearing the somewhat confused voice from above, Ma Di knew that the person calling must have just been awakened by his own shouting.

"Brothers, we are soldiers besieging Dongwuyang, please open the city gate and let me enter the city." Ma Di shouted towards the city.

"Okay, wait a moment." It may be that the soldier was still in a daze, and when he heard Ma Di's answer, he agreed to go down and open the city gate.
