Chapter 619 Preparation
"The arsenal, granary, and government office in Licheng are all heavily guarded, and every street, alley, and folk square has a fire zone, and there are horses, fences, and heavy troops. Even if the fire is successful, it is difficult to escape. , so the method of setting fire to disturb the city is basically difficult to realize.”

When Jia Fu suggested setting fire to the city, Zhang Qiuming said so.

Jia Fu stroked his chin, recalling that when he and Yue Fei were looking for the way, they could indeed see the defenses of various streets, but what Jia Fu did not expect was that the layout was so tight, and there were many things that could not be seen normally .

This can also show that the Gongwei Division has indeed put in a lot of effort.

After Zhang Qiuming finished speaking, he went to a corner of the house, squatted down, groped for a while, and finally took out a whole piece of brick, and then reached out and took out a rolled parchment from inside.

Zhang Qiuming said: "This is the defense map of Licheng that the Arch Guard Division has drawn for several months, let's take a look!"

Jia Fu said with admiration: "I didn't expect the Guards Department to be so quick, and started to investigate Licheng a few months ago."

Zhang Qiuming smiled, "Everyone in the world knows the importance of Licheng in Dongzhou, and Xiang Yu is the biggest obstacle for His Royal Highness to go south to unify the world, so the Arch Guard Division began to deploy in Licheng early on, and fortunately Licheng is In the hometown of General Qin, there are some old acquaintances who can help, otherwise it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in a foreign land."

"Then Pindu and Cui County have our people?"

Jia Fu asked.

"There are three or five people, but the investigation has been too strict recently, and we can no longer contact them, so we can't count on them. The guards of the two cities can't do anything, we can only rely on you."

Zhang Qiuming said truthfully.

Jia Fu was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he was not discouraged. The current situation in Licheng has surprised Jia Fu. As long as he can win Licheng, it will be a great achievement.

"I don't know how many of us are in this city? Do you have a detailed plan?"

Jia Fu asked again.

"There are less than a hundred people, scattered in various places in the city."

Zhang Qiuming opened his mouth, then pointed to the map and said to Jia Fu and the two of them: "The city is heavily guarded, the success rate of arson is too low, it is not advisable, we have too few manpower, and the arch guards are not good at fighting tough battles, so it is not advisable to seize the city gate." It is basically impossible, but now that the two of you are here, there is a way to do it!"

"any solution?"

Jia Fu and Yue Fei hurriedly asked.

"Assassinate Xiang Tu, the chief general in the city, and Zhou Kuiping, the chief historian!"

Zhang Qiuming said in a rather cold voice.

"Zhang Tongzhi just said that the government is heavily guarded, do we have a chance to assassinate him?"

Jia Fu asked in doubt.

"There are at least [-] elite soldiers in the Taishou's mansion. Of course it's not feasible to sneak into the Taishou's mansion, but what about on the way?"

Zhang Qiuming pointed to the map and said, "But this requires the cooperation of the army!"

"What does Zhang Tongzhi mean?"

"It seems that General Jia has thought of it! That's right!"

Zhang Qiuming didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Xiang Tu usually lives in the prefect's mansion and is heavily guarded, but if the army attacks the city, Xiang Tu must go to the top of the city to check the situation, and that's our chance. The prefect's mansion is the closest to the west city." It is this road, and Xiang Tu must take this road!"

Zhang Qiuming clicked on a main road in the map, glanced at the two of them, and continued to introduce the situation: "Xiang Tu, the general of the city, is the member of the Xiang clan that Xiang Yu values ​​most, but Xiang Tu is different from other members of the Xiang clan. Xiang Tu is quite capable of commanding the army, but his martial arts skills are commonplace. For Xiang Tu's safety, Xiang Yu sent a warrior to follow Xiang Tu. Xiang Tu was killed in front of him, so he must have the help of brave men, that is, the help of the two of you."

"We have followed Xiangtu several times. Every time Xiangtu leaves the mansion, there are only a hundred guards around him. If the situation is more urgent, maybe Xiangtu will throw off the extra guards and go with only a few Qingqi. This is our chance , as long as the two hold that warrior for a moment, Xiang Tu will surely die."

"As for Chang Shi Zhou Kuiping, he was just a scribe. Apart from a few guards, he had no other defenses. Moreover, he lived in his mansion, so it was very easy to assassinate him. Therefore, all our forces are aimed at Xiangtu. Once Xiangtu dies, the city will surely kill him." Chaos. At that time, Licheng will be settled!"

"You two still have questions?"

After Zhang Qiuming finished speaking, he asked a question.

"no!"

Jia Fu shook his head, and said to Zhang Qiuming: "I also ask Zhang Tongzhi to send someone to notify General Zhang, and prepare weapons for XX and Yue Fei by the way."

"That's no problem!"

Zhang Qiuming nodded.

Jia Fu was also unambiguous, and took the white silk cloth from Zhang Qiuming. Just in case, Jia Fu only wrote on it: Speed ​​up, pretend to attack the city, Jia.

There is a special mark on it, Zhang Fei can tell it at a glance.

Zhang Qiuming didn't say anything, put away the silk cloth and handed it to one of his subordinates beside him, after a few careful instructions, the subordinate nodded and quickly left the yard.

Then Zhang Qiuming went out for a while, and brought a spear, a long sword and two waist knives from no one knew where.

Zhang Qiuming said to Jia Fu: "I know General Jia is good at using long halberds, but the conditions are not so good, that's all there is to it!"

Jia Fu took the waist knife in his hand, weighed it, and said with a smile: "The long halberd is used for horse fighting. Nowadays, in street fighting, the long halberd is not as useful as this waist knife!"

Yue Fei tested the weight with the spear, and asked, "Do you have a longbow?"

Zhang Qiuming shook his head: "Nowadays the city is heavily guarded, and bows and crossbows are controlled items. We cannot bring them in, nor can we get them from the city."

Yue Fei nodded when he heard the words, but didn't say much.

Jia Fu and Yue Fei stayed in Licheng, discussing the details of the assassination with Zhang Qiuming day and night, and confirming the details could increase the chance of success.

Zhang Fei stayed put and did not move. After receiving the letter from the Arch Guard Division, he nodded and ordered the generals: "The whole army is dispatched! Don't worry about other small counties, our goal is Licheng!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Fei forcibly crossed the Daqu River, and the movement of the Han army was easily analyzed. The target was Licheng. After Xiang Tu heard the news, he immediately closed the city gate, and sent a fast horse to notify the other two cities, as well as an urgent report to Xiang Yu. .

The reaction in the city was soon known by Zhang Qiuming and Jia Fu.

Zhang Qiuming said to the two: "The action has begun!"

Jia Fu and Yue Fei nodded. Although the city was sealed off, the people in the city still needed to live, so Jia Fu and Yue Fei pretended to be father and son, carrying burdens and selling mung beans.

And the other members of the Arch Guard Department either pretended to be ordinary people, or hid in hiding, waiting for Xiangtu's arrival.

At this time, in the eunuch's mansion, Xiang Tu told the officers and men under his command: "The guards under Liu Thief are very powerful. Back then, Li Yun had suffered from the guards and sent him to ambush in the city, so the city must be guarded. Well, every neighborhood needs to be manned, government offices, arsenals, and granaries are the most important thing, to prevent them from setting fire to trouble."

A general stood up and said: "Don't worry, general, we have already deployed defenses in the city a few months ago. There are checkpoints in every street, and there are soldiers patrolling the city even under the city walls at all times. If the guards come, I will make them come and go!"

"Great!"

After hearing this, Xiang Tu nodded in praise.

Afterwards, Xiang Tuyou looked at Chang Shi Zhou Kuiping aside, and said, "I ask Zhou Chang Shi to work harder!"

Zhou Kuiping cupped his hands and said: "This is the duty of the minister, and we must not allow the enemy to step into Licheng."
