Chapter 410: The inside should be combined with the outside
In the city of Nieduo, before dusk, the streets were already depressed, and there were no pedestrians, only soldiers carrying swords and spears patrolling the streets.
Near the southern city, in the Shijia Warehouse, twenty-seven Hu merchants looked at the brightly lit lobby. The young owner of the Shijia who gathered them took off his pointed hat and took off his white robe. They were all stunned because they were not the same kind of peers in front of them. This was clearly the Han family man of the Tang Dynasty.
"Everyone, I am Yu Chaoen, the captain of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. He was ordered by General Shenweitian to enter the city as an internal supporter."
As Yu Chaoen spoke, Olus had already led his soldiers to close the door of the lobby of the warehouse. The Hu merchants could not hide their horror when they looked at the so-called caravan guards around who took off their robes and exposed their armor.
The armor worn by Yu Chaoen and the others were all secretly transported into Nieduo City several months in advance and hid in the cellar of their own warehouse. The original treasure bag that Chen Guang gave Yu Chaoen was filled with the contact information and joint code of the Shijia Warehouse.
As early as in Chang'an City, Shi Jian, who had not yet married Gao Xianzhi, came to make a big gamble. Not only did he ask his caravan to buy food, grass and military supplies for the Anxi Army, but he also followed Chen Guang's instructions and chose his loyal confidant to come to Nieduo City in advance to wait.
The name of the Shi family caravan is also well known among those Hu merchants. This is why Yu Chaoen can easily gather most of the Hu merchants in the city to come to the Shi family cargo warehouse. However, these Hu merchants originally thought that Yu Chaoen had a way to leave the city of Nieduo, which was about to fall into war, but who would have thought that the person who pretended to be the young master of the Shi family was actually the general of the Tang Dynasty's King's Army.
Hu Shang who could travel on the Silk Road were all brave outlaws. No one was stupid at the moment. Today, the Yu School Captain suddenly revealed his identity, which was clearly to force them to open the city gate together.
"I hope you all know that tonight, General Shenweitian will personally lead the army outside the city. The strong army of our Shattered Ye army is definitely not something that the puppet king army in the city can resist."
Seeing that the Hu Shangs were silent, Yu Chaoen said quickly, but he didn't know that these Hu Shangs were not timid and scared, but after hearing his news, he was excited and didn't know what to say.
This Nieduo City is a broken ship that is leaking everywhere and is about to sink. They are unwilling to follow this broken ship to be buried with them. These Hu merchants are all wise. If the Tubo army can arrive before the Tang Dynasty's King's Army, then they only need to hold on for a month. When heavy snow falls, even if the Tang Dynasty's King's Army is brave and good at fighting, it will be difficult to withstand the harsh cold winter.
But now that the living general Shenweitian of the gods and Buddhas has arrived, the pseudo-king of Su Shili has ordered the soldiers to search the city in the past two days, forcing the people to have no food. They have already lost all their hearts. They have relied on the cruelty of the Tubo people in the past to suppress the city.
"We are willing to serve General Shenweitian. There are twenty-seven warriors who can fight in our three caravans."
Some of Hu Shangliu had already come to his senses and fell to the ground while talking loudly. Then the other Hu Shangliu also rushed to express his willingness to serve Yu Chaoen and contribute the guards he could fight in his caravan.
Of course, there are also strong people in the Hu merchants who plan to personally compete for wealth and honor. Many of them are merchants from Gua and Sha Prefectures. They have long heard of Shen Guang's name. They know many of the deeds of this Shen Weitian General in Chang'an City. They know more about this Shen Weitian General will never treat those who have made meritorious deeds.
Seeing the Hu Shangs who were in a sudden burst of emotions and shouting for killing, Yu Chaoen was also stunned, but then he became very happy. He didn't care whether these people could go into battle, but the pseudo-king suddenly opened his mind and used the palace guards to strengthen the city gate garrison.
This made his plan a mistake, because the bribed guard was replaced by the guard in the palace, and he could not guarantee that the two hundred people in his hands could take down the defenders and open the city gate in one go.
The task that Chen Guang originally assigned to Yu Chaoen was only when he led his army to attack Nieduo City at night, and attacked the Nancheng defenders in the chaos and helped the army seize the city gate. However, after Yu Chaoen arrived at Nieduo City, he saw that Su was unpopular and the defenders were loose and furious, so they did not look like an army, so he naturally developed the ambition to make achievements.
"All up, gather your warriors in the front yard and tell them the truth."
Yu Chaoen said to the Hu merchants, and then these Hu merchants left the lobby one after another. Yu Chaoen was not afraid of someone from them reporting. First, there were secret whistles from the Shi family around the warehouse, and second, these Hu merchants knew how to choose as long as they were not stupid.
Not long after, in the front yard, more than 200 guards of various tribes gathered by 27 Hu Shangs were all here. After hearing the situation of his employer explaining the situation, they were all ready to tremble with excitement. They had seen all the Xiaobolu soldiers in the city. If they fought alone or asked them to go alone to two, they would never be afraid of them.
Now they not only have more than 200 people, but also more than 100 elite troops from the Tang Dynasty King's Division and fierce guards from the Shi Family Caravan. Even the defenders of the South City alone could do it, so they would not be afraid.
"You two hundred and thirty people are divided into two teams to select the centurion and the tenth chief, so hurry up!"
Yu Chaoen did not drag on the mud. Seeing that these Hu Shang guards were all outlaws, they shouted loudly. Then the guards quickly gathered and jumped out of the tenth lords and the centurion. At first glance, Yu Chaoen saw that more than half of them were Turkic seeds, and it was estimated that they had been Tuqishi, Bahan and other troops.
After these Hu merchant guards formed two hundred-man teams, Olus led his own full hundred-man team, and everyone was wearing armor. As for weapons, there were a variety of people and everything. Then the Shi family caravan also took out all the people in the warehouse. Among the more than 100 people, fifty people were bought with Zhelang, who was bought with a lot of money, and they were heavy infantrymen wearing armor and shields.
Looking at the armor and shields, the Hu merchants only felt that Su Shili deserved to be defeated, and they actually asked people to transport so many banned armors in. The city defense was useless.
Of course, there were about twenty armored soldiers in the two hundred-man teams that the Hu merchants gathered. When they saw the torches illuminating, the courtyard was filled with majestic soldiers. The Hu merchants wanted to immediately carry their swords and fight out, and wait for the Tang Dynasty to seize the city gate, and then they went to grab it.
Yu Chaoen nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the Shi family caravan's manager in Nieduo City, "Brother Shi, I'll leave this Nancheng to you."
"Don't worry, Captain Yu."
The manager named Shi Man was a tall Sogdian with a loyal and dull face and did not look like a businessman. However, he could be regarded as a loyal confidant by Shi Jian because he was not a businessman, but the leader of the Shi family's caravan guards, and had been a general in the Shiguo army.
"Afu, we will do a big thing tonight. You have to write it clearly in your story."
