Zhang He set off with the army.

Jiang Qi sent troops privately, as Xu You said, this may really be his chance.

You can let Jiang Qi probe in front.

At the beginning, Zhao Hui was under Changshan City, watching the people of the Wang family acting on the city wall.

This time, Zhang He and Xu You can also be regarded as watching a good show.

The speed of the army is not as fast as that of the fast horses.

Zhang He marched all the way, and finally arrived at Donglai County on the 16th.

Jiang Qi was one step ahead of him, and had already arrived last night.

Zhang He's army was dispatched, and Xu Huang also received the news as soon as possible.

It is impossible for Zhang He to be killed in the city, he is still at a loss, it is too fake.

"Do you think Liao Hua is really obedient?"

Set up camp outside the city, Zhang He asked.

If he is not sure in his heart, he will not be confident.

Even though he had arrived in the city, Zhang He still did not make a decision.

The appointed date is tonight.

Do you want to make a move when the time comes?

Jiang Qi's 5,000 soldiers and horses did not set up camp outside the city.

Instead, they hid in the nearby mountains and forests.

There were only 5,000 people, and when the time was not up, Jiang Qi did not dare to show his face.

Although he didn't look down on the Yellow Turban Army in the city, the number of Yellow Turban Army was more than ten times that of him.

In the city, when Xu Huang saw Zhang He and his people preparing to set up camp under the city, he immediately took people out to interfere.

He won't let Zhang He easily set up the camp.

However, Zhang He also has his own way of dealing with this.

Two teams were divided to block Xu Huang's soldiers and horses.

The rest of the people continued to build camps in the rear.

And it wasn't affected.

The perimeter was soon fenced off.

Xu Huang led people to harass him, at most, he let Zhang He's camp stand a little later.

In the friction between the two sides, there were a few dead and wounded.

Zhang He's army did not become chaotic because of Xu Huang's harassment.

Xu Huang saw that there was no chance, so he took someone back.

Zhang He is also a famous general in Hebei.

If Xu Huang would be given a chance when he set up camp, he would not have chosen to camp in front of Xu Huang.

Xu Huang came out with people to see if he could find an opportunity.

If you have the opportunity, then you can kill Zhang He directly, and you don't need to wait for the night.

After all, when the camp is encamped, some generals are not well controlled, and when they are harassed, the army will be chaotic.

After Xu Huang retreated, Zhang He's soldiers quickly set up the camp.

These soldiers in Zhang He's hands are also well-trained elite soldiers.

When you set up camp, you are fast, methodical, and cooperate with each other.

The two teams that were separated were still cruising outside the camp, in case Xu Huang brought people to harass him again.

Xu Huang only tried it once, but he didn't find a chance, so he gave up.

If it is replaced by Jiang Qi's army, Xu Huang has a great chance.

It's just a pity that Jiang Qi didn't dare to camp directly under the city, but took people to hide in the mountains and forests.

The trees in the mountains and forests are dense, and although Xu Huang received the news, he did not dare to easily send troops and horses into the mountains and forests to search, and it was easy to encounter ambushes.

It's just five thousand people, and as long as Xu Huang is more vigilant, they can't afford to make waves.

When there is no preparation, when the battle is at a stalemate, it is very likely that this force will suddenly be killed.

But Xu Huang already knew about their existence.

When fighting Zhang He, he would leave a part of his troops to deal with Jiang Qi's 5,000 men.

Xu Huang didn't know that Jiang Qi was dispatched privately, not to follow Zhang He's orders, and Zhang He couldn't command Jiang Qi now.

The people sent by Zhang He to contact Jiang Qi failed to get Jiang Qi to withdraw his troops back.

After Zhang He arrived in Donglai County, he did not contact Jiang Qi again.

He and Xu You had already planned to let Jiang Qi be a stone for throwing stones and asking for directions.

If Liao Hua is sincere, then Zhang He is rushing in with a large army.

If Liao Hua has been acting, then Zhang He is leading people to rescue the five thousand soldiers in Jiang Qi's hands.

Death and injury are inevitable, and what can be rescued is a little bit.

For Zhang He, it is still acceptable to use the lives of these 5,000 people to test the truth of Liaohua.

After all, he is a famous general, Zhang He is not an indecisive and soft-hearted person.

The casualties of soldiers, in his eyes, are only worth it, not whether they can or not.

In Zhang He's heart, every time he fights, he has a judgment.

How big were the results of the victory, and to what extent were the casualties of the soldiers.

The benefits gained are not greater than the casualties paid.

As long as he thinks it is greater, even if the casualties are large, Zhang He can accept it.

He doesn't feel guilty about the fact that the casualties are too great.

The reason why he didn't want to give up Jiang Qi's 5,000 people was that Zhang He felt that these people were sent to death with Jiang Qi, which was very unworthy.

So he and Xu You followed with a large army.

Even if these 5,000 people are sent to death, they should have their role.

And not to die in vain.

Xu Huang asked Zhang Wang to lead a few teams of men and horses to stare at the city wall. Guard against Zhang He's sneak attack.

And Liao Hua still hid in his mansion and did not show up.

It's getting darker.

Zhang He's soldiers and horses have begun to bury the pot and make rice.

Today's weather is very good, the night sky at night, full of stars.

The moon with a large grinding disc also hangs high in the sky.

This kind of night is the best time to sneak attack.

If the sky is too dark, it will be difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and even if you hold a torch, you can easily get injured by mistake.

Night battles are not always darker.

At night, you can start a skirmish, but it's definitely not suitable for a large-scale sneak attack.

In the evening, Jiang Qi walked out of the mountains and forests with his five thousand men.

These 5,000 people just ate a little dry food that they carried with them.

He knew that Zhang He was under the city, but he did not meet Zhang He.

Jiang Qi knew his guilt.

This time, if he can take down Donglai County, nothing will happen.

Instead, he will be rewarded by Yuan Shao.

But if he fails to succeed, what awaits him is Zhang He's charge of giving him An.

Zhang He's army was stationed under the city wall of Donglaixi.

Jiang Qi took 5,000 people to the east city wall.

The East City Gate is where Liao Hua and Zhang He agreed.

Zhang He had already decided to use Jiang Qi as a stone to throw stones to ask for directions, so he would not block Jiang Qi's way.

When he was in the child, Jiang Qi lit a torch in the future.

At the same time, Zhang He, with his soldiers and horses, began to move towards the eastern city wall.

This time he brought 50,000 soldiers and horses.

But now only 10,000 people have been moved.

The remaining 40,000 remained in the camp, ready to move.

Inside the city!

Liao Hua has also appeared on the east city wall with Wang Xiaohu, Zhang Xiaoshun and others.

They had been planning this plan for two months.

Now it's finally time.

Liao Hua didn't know if Zhang He believed him.

The torches outside the city may have just deliberately deceived him.

In the battle of Changshan, although Liao Hua was not present, he also knew what had happened.

He was a little worried, and Zhang He was also lying to him.

Just like Zhao Hui deceived the people of the Wang family outside Changshan City before.
