Han Bin ordered the arrest of Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong didn't resist and was tied down by the axe.
"Put him in jail and wait for the enemy to retreat before proceeding with the trial.”
Han Bin waved his hand.
Many machetemen pushed Huang Zhong to the prison.
In Linxiang City, undercurrents were surging.
West of the city, in a house.
The city gate Marquis Wei Yan had just returned from his shift.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Wei Yan suddenly realized something.
Clang!
"Who's there!" he shouted as he drew his sword.
Someone came to the house!
"It's me."
Huang Wudie walked out of the room.
"Niece Wu Die."
Only then did Wei Yan let down his guard.
He looked around and found no one around, so he quickly invited Huang Wudie into the room to talk.
Inside the house.
" Uncle Wenchang," Huang Wudie said," my father has been captured by Han Xuan and his son. Please think of a way."”
Wei Yan pondered for a long time.
Half a year ago, he was still the city gate marquis of Xiangyang.
At that time, Liu Biao died of illness and Liu Cong inherited the post of Jingzhou herdsman.
Later, when Cao Cao's army went south, Liu Cong surrendered and waited for Cao Cao to take over Xiangyang.
During this period, Wei Yan led a portion of his soldiers to welcome Liu Bei, who was fleeing south.
But Liu Bei did not enter the city.
As a result, Wei Yan could no longer stay in Xiangyang.
Thus, he gave up his official position and went south from Xiangyang to Linxiang City in Changsha Prefecture.
He directly sought refuge with Han Xuan.
Who knew that Han Xuan valued his background.
Wei Yan led 300 troops and only managed to get the position of city gate marquis.
They were all city gate marquises, and Linxiang City was not even as good as Jingzhou's Xiangyang City.
"In Linxiang City, Han Xuan and his son have many subordinates. If they want to save Hansheng, we need to discuss it carefully.”
Wei Yan frowned.
He had 300 men under him. Even if he broke out of the prison and brought Huang Zhong out, where could he go?
"Open the gates and accept the surrender.”
Huang Wudie suddenly said.
Wei Yan was stunned. He lowered his head and thought for a long time.
"My father doesn't want any credit after this," Huang Wudie said.”
"The future, the official position, they were all obtained by Uncle Wen Chang alone.”
She explained to Wei Yan that Huang Zhong didn't want military merits.
All the credit for breaking the city belongs to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan explained," Niece, don't worry too much. I'm not that kind of person."”
He immediately stood up.
"Hansheng and I are old friends."
"Now that Hansheng is in trouble, I will definitely not stand by and watch!”
Wei Yan said generously.
"Go home first. Don't go out unless you have something to do. I have my own way to rescue Hansheng!”
Wei Yan promised Huang Wudie that he would save Huang Zhong.
After sending Huang Wudie away, Wei Yan began to secretly contact his troops.
Linxiang City was not like Xiangyang City, where there were only four city gate marquises.
The City Gate Marquis's immediate superior was the City Gate Lieutenant, Han Xuan's son, Han Bin.
Wei Yan looked for his confidant, Zhao Yang.
"Tonight, I will guard the east gate.”
"When the time comes, I'll take the opportunity to let you out of the city. Immediately go to the Cao army's stronghold and pass the secret letter to Cao Yu.”
He reminded Zhao Yang.
"Here!"
Zhao Yang cupped his hands and accepted the order.
That night, it was close to the fourth watch.
At this time, everyone was extremely tired.
Wei Yan called his troops over and worked together to slowly lower a basket down the city wall.
When the basket was close to the ground, Zhao Yang jumped out of the basket and gradually disappeared into the night.
Wei Yan took back the basket and hid himself, as if nothing had happened. He continued to patrol the city wall.
……
In the Cao camp.
It was already daytime, and the sun hung high in the sky.
Cao Yu was waiting for news.
At this moment.
A soldier came in and reported loudly.
"Report!"
"The sentry at the front captured a person. This person claims to be the trusted aide of Wei Yan, the Marquis of Linxiang City Gate.”
Hearing the soldier's words, Cao Yu was overjoyed.
Others might not recognize Wei Yan, but he did.
Wei Yan had probably sent his confidant over to plot to seize the city.
"Call him in."
Cao Yu waved his hand.
The soldier turned around and left.
"Someone from the city must have something important to do." Pang Tong muttered.”
"I'm afraid that Linxiang City has suddenly experienced a shocking change.”
"Our army will definitely be able to charge into the city within a few days," Cao Yu said with a smile.”
Linxiang City was the administrative city of Changsha Prefecture. The city walls were thick and there was a moat protecting it.
If they attacked forcefully, the losses would not be small.
However, it was different when Wei Yan sent his confidant.
Not long after.
Zhao Yang was brought to the tent.
"I am Zhao Yang. Greetings, General Zhennan.”
Zhao Yang said respectfully.
Then, he took out Wei Yan's secret letter and handed it to Cao Yu.
Cao Yu opened it and was overjoyed.
It was agreed in the secret letter that Wei Yan would open the east gate to welcome the Cao army into the city after the sun set the next day.
"That's good."
Cao Yu immediately rewarded Zhao Yang and let him rest in the stronghold.
Tomorrow, they would set off together with the army.
After making arrangements for Zhao Yang.
Pang Tong said,"Although it's a rebellion in the city, we can't tell if it's true or not. We have to be on guard!"”
He advised Cao Yu to prepare for both scenarios.
At that time, Wu Dang's flying army will enter the city, and the black-armored cavalry will meet outside.
If they were ambushed, they could also gather in time.
"That's how it should be!"
Cao Yu nodded.
The two quickly finished their discussion.
The next day Cao Yu led the army to seize the city, Pang Tong outside to meet.
Everything was arranged properly, and time passed quietly.
……
In Linxiang City.
In the prison.
The warden walked to Huang Zhong's cell.
He quickly took out the key and opened the cell door.
Then, he stepped forward and undid Huang Zhong's handcuffs and ankles.
Huang Zhong hesitated.
" Outside the prison," the warden explained," Hansheng's machete and warhorse are ready.”
"Wen Chang has already rebelled against Han Xuan and is currently engaged in a fierce battle at the east gate.”
