Chang Yuchun's expression was solemn. Although he was a careless person who liked to show off his strength, he had experienced countless battles, big and small, and it was not like he did not know martial arts.
The situation in Bianliang City was out of his expectations, completely disrupting the battle plan that he, Old Xu, and the Crown Prince had made.
Originally, the three of them had thought that Bianliang would only have 30,000 Yuan soldiers at most. If the 170,000 Ming soldiers went up, they would be crushed to death. They would be able to break through the city in one or two days at most. Then, they would lead the army to the east and sweep through with Deng Yu. They would quickly get rid of all the Yuan soldiers in Yu Province. Then, they would join forces to attack Dadu. If the plan went well, the Ming army would appear at the city of Dadu in a month.
But now…
It was a little difficult to get off the tiger!
If he really couldn't do it, he could only attack!
He did not believe that there was a city that he, Chang Shiwan, could not take down!
Zhu Biao took a deep breath. You guys don't have to follow me!" The first sentence was directed at Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, while the second sentence was directed at the guards around him.
The three of them walked to the side for about a hundred steps, and there was no one else beside them.
Zhu Biao always remembered a saying,"Conspiracy succeeds in secrecy and fails in divulgence."
"Do you know anything about Aruwen and Li Keyi? What's your impression of him?"
Although Xu Da didn't know what Zhu Biao wanted to do, he still told him everything he knew. As he recalled, he organized his words."Crown Prince, we know a little about this old man Aruwen. We fought with him in Taiyuan before and he's a tough character. People say that one is a thief if he doesn't die in his old age. This old man is one of them. He's already in his sixties or seventies, so he's even more cunning. Currently, he's second only to Wang Baobao in the Yuan Court. Oh right, Aruwen himself is Wang Baobao's grandfather. Therefore, there are officials in the Yuan Court who privately said that Wang Baobao's family is the one supporting the Yuan Court!”
"There's also another rumor. It's said that this old man has a hobby of sharpening knives with people, so he kills people every day! Kill the Han!"
Zhu Biao clenched his hands in his sleeves and said lightly,"Minister Xu, promise me a request. After Bianliang City falls, hang this old thief on the city gate and expose his corpse for ten days!”
Chang Yuchun shouted," Don't worry, Crown Prince. We'll supervise Old Xu's execution. Aruwin, that old man, should die without a complete corpse. Damn it, he doesn't treat us Han people as humans!"”
Zhu Biao nodded with a smile and asked,"What about Li Keyi?"”
Chang Yuchun interrupted," I know Li Keyi. He's a coward. He's as timid as a mouse. Back then, when the higher-ups asked us to attack Caishiji eastward, the enemy was Li Keyi. He actually abandoned his army and ran away. I heard that his sister was the concubine of the Yuan Emperor. Otherwise, she would have been severely injured after that defeat. How could she have had the chance to be the general of Bianliang?!" Of course, Wang Baobao definitely didn't trust Li Keyi. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his grandfather Aruwin over!”
Zhu Biao smiled. My two beloved ministers, let me ask you a question. If Aruwin suddenly dies, do you have the ability to summon Li Keyi to surrender?”
Xu Da muttered," If Li Keyi is really like what Old Chang said, as long as Aruwin suddenly dies, and there is no one to supervise and restrain him, our 170,000-strong army will definitely be scared out of his wits. He will either run or surrender. No matter which situation it is, it will be a good thing for us! Without a leader, the 80,000 strong army will be useless. If they surrender, that would be even better. We can take down Bianliang without wasting a single soldier!”
There was no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned at Zhu Biao and said hesitantly,""But why did Aruwin suddenly die? No matter how much I think about it, I can't do it!”
Zhu Biao laughed." I'll keep you in suspense for now. Don't worry, my dear minister. Later, you just need to make a siege gesture and find a loud Mongolian speaker to scold at the city gates. Only target Aruven. Whatever you say is unpleasant to the ears! I don't care if he curses Aruwin's mother or the eighteen generations of Aruwin's ancestors. In short, Aruwin must appear on the city gate tower. Leave the rest to me! Hmm, the Mongolian lieutenant under Sandao Ma was not bad!”
Zhu Biao said and walked back.
Chang Yuchun and Xu Da exchanged glances.
"Old Xu, what should we do? Can the Crown Prince do it?" Chang Yuchun widened his eyes and mumbled,""I've been thinking for a long time, but I still can't figure out how this Aruwin suddenly died!”
Xu Da said in a deep voice," From what the Crown Prince said, he wants to lure Aruwin to the city gate tower and kill him. At such a distance, we can only kill him with a bow and arrow. However, Aruwin is also an experienced soldier. He must have a defensive method against arrows. He won't let us get close to the range of the bow and arrow smoothly. Then, we can rest easy and draw the bow!" Prince's thoughts were probably a little taken for granted!”
"Then let's quickly reject the Crown Prince. I'll say something fair. The Crown Prince is a good person. I admire him for being able to hang out with us. Although the Crown Prince has been asking us for advice on military strategies and tactics recently, he has never experienced battle formations. Everything he thinks of is just a theory!”Chang Yuchun's face was filled with ferocity.""If it really doesn't work, let's bring our men and fight head-on! Old Chang loves to fight hard cities and gnaw hard bones!”
Xu Da waved his hand." It's better not to reject him. After all, he's the crown prince. You still have to care about your face. Young people are thin-skinned." Regardless of whether Aruwin died or not, they had to attack the city!”
However, Xu Da thought to himself, could it be that Aruwin has a spy from the Great Ming Dynasty? But why didn't he know?
Zhu Biao, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around."What are you two whispering about? Hurry up and prepare to attack the city!"
After 15 minutes, the Ming army was ready and surrounded Bianliang City. The siege finally began.
On the east gate tower of Bianliang City, Li Keyi, who was wearing armor, swallowed his saliva as he looked at the dense Ming army that was surging over.
"Hold on! You must hold on for me!" He shouted, but he was muttering in his heart. There were so many enemies. Could he really hold on?
