Chen Xian shook his head and said: "The general is surprised by this statement. General Kong has been seized by Liu Shijun in the past few years, and he can't speak to Yizhou's military and political affairs. It has nothing to do with whether he is a general! By the way, do you know the background of General Kong?"

Ye Tongzhang shook his head: "How do I know? I only know that he was transferred from Nanliang Prefecture a few years ago. I don't know the specific background!"

Chen Xiandao: "But I know something. General Kong is from Qingzhou, and he is also a son of a family, but he is withdrawn. He used to serve under General Pei Fangming and was a general under General Pei! I heard that General Pei Fangming led the army with strict discipline and rewards and punishments." Clearly, if General Kong had no general talent, General Pei would not let him stand alone."

Ye Tongzhang was silent, but his face softened.

Chen Xian said again: "General Ye, we are now grasshoppers on a rope. If we want to defend the city of Chengdu and survive, we can only abandon our prejudices and unite with each other. At present, only General Kong has the qualifications." !"

Ye Tongzhang hesitated for a while, he is not a person who is not a whiny person, he quickly thought about it, and agreed: "Okay, General Chen trusts him, and my old Ye is also willing to follow his example, I only hope that he will not be the same when it comes to fighting. A straw bag will do!"

Chen Xian immediately clasped his fists: "Thank you, General! Since the general agreed, then only General Guo is left. How about asking General Ye to visit General Guo with me?"

Ye Tongzhang shook his head quickly: "This man is good at flattering people, and he is used to the wind to make the rudder. I can't understand his face. Guo Li and I can't urinate in the same pot, so I still won't go!"

"General Ye, didn't you say it just now? It's not about any one person, but about the lives of thousands of brothers in the city. Now we're all in the same boat. It's no good for anyone if the boat capsized. The general should also understand this! So how about you accompany me to have a cup of tea?"

Chen Xian talked badly, and finally persuaded Ye Tongzhang to go to see Guo Li together.

When seeing Guo Li, Guo Li was on the tower.

"I don't know what advice the two generals have for Guo?" Guo Li asked as the three sat down in the tower.

Ye Tongzhang remained silent, so Chen Xian had no choice but to say, "I don't dare to advise. General Ye and I came here for the defense of the city, and also for the defense of the army. I want to discuss it with General Guo!"

Guo Li: "What is there to discuss?"

"General Guo has 2000 people, right? Now the defense of the city gate and the city wall is mainly in charge of General Guo's people. Liu Shijun has passed away, and there is no one in the city who can command the three of us. If a few troops Come to attack the city, General Guo may not be able to defend a city wall and a city gate with 500 people. If the city defense is in emergency, who can General Guo turn to for help? You can't control me, Chen, or General Ye. You want to send troops for reinforcements, why should General Ye and I listen to you?"

"This..." Guo Li was speechless, his face turned gray, "What exactly is General Chen trying to say?"

Chen Xian said with a smile: "General Guo is a smart man. I should have guessed what I want to say. If you want to block the attack of the Gan army, you must have a person with full authority to deploy and unify the command! If General Guo is to obey me or General Ye Commander, I'm afraid that General Guo will not be willing, General Guo, don't forget, the three of us have an immediate boss, General Kong, how about we invite General Kong to come out and preside over the overall situation of the city defense?"

Guo Li jumped up: "General Chen is kidding me, right? Let Kong Ying command us first, do you want us to die faster?"

"General Guo misunderstood General Kong. I understand this very well, but I believe that General Kong's ability to march and fight is definitely superior to you and me. He just doesn't know how to be an official!"

Guo Li shook his head: "No, no, I know Kong Yingxian too well. I know best whether he will march and fight. I don't agree with this matter. You should listen to them. It's your business. Don't drag me!"

Seeing this, Chen Xian also fell into a difficult situation. If Guo Li didn't cooperate with him, he had no other choice. He thought for a while and said, "Since General Guo doesn't want General Kong to take command, then the three of us will be in charge of the city defense." Let’s make a joint decision, and we’ll come up with a feasible plan!”

Guo Lidao: "What do you think?"

"We now have 500 veterans and [-] new recruits. Before the army can attack the city, let's hurry up and train the recruits. As long as they can hold their swords and guns, they can operate crossbows and understand military orders. [-] people, divided into three divisions, each division is on duty on the city wall for four hours, when the time comes, the other division will take over, and the divisions will take turns!"

"If the dry army is attacking the city, first defend the city with one thousand recruits. If the dry army strengthens the siege, deploy troops from the second or third to go up the city wall for reinforcements. The rest will rest until the enemy retreats, and then Put another one on defense so everyone has time to rest, eat and drink!"

When Guo Li heard it, "General Chen's arrangement is not fair. It is obvious that the majority of troops will be much easier to defend. You have the most troops. If you give me a few hundred people, it will be fair if everyone has the same strength. Bar?"

Chen Xian's face turned dark: "I'm only five or six hundred more than you, and they're all recruits. General Guo is too fussy, isn't he?"

"Only five or six hundred people? General Chen put it bluntly. With the strength of two buildings, there are two more opportunities for reinforcements! Also, Mr. Liu allocated 600 gold and 20 guan for you. You have enough money and food, but What about us? The soldiers under my command haven’t received a ring money for two months!”

Afterwards, Guo Li always made all kinds of criticisms, finding various reasons to reject Chen Xian's proposal that the three of them discuss the city defense strategy together, and in the end, the three of them broke up unhappy.

Chapter 1004

Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang came down from the tower and returned on horseback.

On the way, Chen Xian didn't speak for a long time. Ye Tongzhang looked at him and said, "General Chen, why do I think there is something wrong with Guo Li? Personally, I think your city defense strategy is very good and well thought out, but Guo Li just He disagrees with life and death, finds faults everywhere, is simply nitpicking, what does this guy mean? Could it be that his real intention is to surrender?"

Chen Xian turned his head to look at Ye Tongzhang, "You are right, Guo Li is probably thinking this way!"

Ye Tongzhang suddenly thought of something, "Now the four city gates are under his control. If he really wants to surrender, he just needs to open any city gate, and we will die without a place to die!"

Chen Xian nodded solemnly.

Ye Tongzhang frowned again, "If Ye Tongzhang has this idea, why hasn't he acted yet?"

Chen Xiandao: "I guess it's because he didn't dare when Liu Shijun was there, and when Liu Shijun left, he moved his mind, but he couldn't just open the city gate like this, and the Ganjun didn't necessarily believe him, so he needed to It takes time to contact the senior officials of the Qian army, and even the emperor of the Qian country, and the two sides have agreed on the details before we can act, it will take time!"

"It makes sense!" Ye Tongzhang agreed with Chen Xian's statement, and he began to worry again, "Once he gets in touch with Qianjun, wouldn't it mean that my death has come? We can't just sit and wait!"

Chen Xian was still not quite sure about his guess, he said, "This matter is just a guess between you and me, if we want to take action, we must find a way to prove it, otherwise we will wrong him, and the two sides will lose a lot when they fight against each other. Wouldn't it be cheap for nothing to be a Chinese?"

"That's right, we should find a way to prove this! By the way, I think we can send someone to arrest one or two of his cronies or close guards and torture them. What do you think?"

"Okay, leave this matter to me!" Chen Xian agreed without thinking.

In the afternoon of that day, Guo Li went home to rest. Two soldiers came out of the Guo Mansion shortly after. They were hijacked when they passed by an alley. There were no civilians, and the ordinary civilians who remained in the city were basically the servants of the officials. The number was very small, and the entire city seemed empty. No one saw the two soldiers being taken away.

After some brutal interrogation, Chen Xian got the news he wanted.

Ye Tongzhang was then invited by Chen Xian.

"General Chen, when you sent someone to invite me over, did you have any results?"

Chen Xian asked Ye Tongzhang to sit down, and said, "That's right, I sent someone to arrest Guo Li's two guards this afternoon. After interrogation, they confessed that Guo Li put Wu Jinbao, his most trusted guard, on the city wall in a hanging basket last night. One also saw that before Wu Jinbao was put down the city wall, Guo Li had handed him a letter, but they didn't know what was written on it!"

Ye Tongzhang got up suddenly as soon as he sat down, "This bastard has colluded with Qianguo and betrayed the Song Dynasty. He deserves death! General Chen, without further ado, let's lead our troops to arrest him now, and control the four gates and the city wall!" "

Chen Xian quickly stabilized Ye Tongzhang, "General Ye must not be impulsive. It is broad daylight, and there is too much movement and movement at this time, which will definitely arouse Guo Li's vigilance and defense. At that time, the arrest will be impossible. Let them use the assassin The famous officials and generals of the mansion will gather the officials and generals to discuss matters in the governor's mansion tonight, and discuss again the issue of where we should go. I think he should be very happy! As long as Guo Li comes over, we will take action at the governor's mansion, take him down first, and control him Let's talk about the soldiers and horses!"

At this time, there is no one in the city of Chengdu. At this time, there is no one to suppress a general like Ye Tongzhang. He was so bold that he immediately agreed, "Okay, let's do it!"

At sunset, all the officials and several generals in the city were ruled, and asked to go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters after dinner, to discuss whether to surrender or defend.

This issue has been discussed twice, but each time there was no result, and in the end they broke up unhappy. Those officials who wanted to surrender were anxious because they knew that the sooner they surrendered, the better. The more monarchs and ministers don't want to see them.

After dinner, all the officials came to the lobby of the governor's mansion one after another. Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang were the last to arrive. They brought a lot of soldiers and horses and quietly surrounded the governor's mansion.

"General Chen and General Ye are here—"

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, all the officials who were talking stopped.

Ma Liang was a little unhappy, "General Chen, General Ye, I heard that this meeting was held at your request. Why are you two the latest?"

Ye Tongzhang showed a ferocious face, and cupped his fists, "I'm sorry everyone, some things are temporarily delayed, but General Chen and I shouldn't be too late!"

Don't drive Yang Ling, "Okay, it's getting late. Since the two generals have arrived, let's start. I wonder what the topic is?"

Chen Xian immediately said, "This time, General Ye and I took the lead in calling you here because we have something to discuss. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us, and we have no leader, so General Ye and I intend to recommend someone to preside over the overall situation. You must obey this man's orders!"

Wang Fu asked, "Then I don't know who General Chen and General Ye recommend?"
