However, he said that Chen Zhi, Deng Ai, Mu Shun, and Ren Kui received a letter from Xu Huang not long after returning to Yixian County with their troops.

Chen Zhi also knew that Xu Huang's troops had conquered Xiyang City, and at present, they were stationed thirty miles north of Xiling City. At the same time, Xu Huang said in his letter that Chen Dao's headquarters could go north as soon as possible, so that the two armies could encircle Xiling City.

Now, the 10,000 reinforcements in Xiling City have all been lost in the hands of the Liangzhou army, and Huang Zu's troops in Xiling City are a little weaker. In addition, Huang Zu's son Huang Shot is in the hands of the Liangzhou army, and the time is ripe for the soldiers to be trapped in Xiling City.

Just an hour after the ambush in Yibei, Chen Zhi left 3,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered Ren Kui Haosheng to guard the county town of Yi, and Haosheng to take care of the prisoners, and then, together with Deng Ai and Mu Shun, with more than 15,000 Liangzhou military and naval divisions, went north to besiege Xiling City.

After three quarters of an hour's march, Chen arrived at the headquarters and came to the south of Xiling City. Immediately, Chen set up camp here. After arranging the defense of the camp, Chen Zhi left Mu Shun to guard the camp, and he went to Xu Huang's camp with Deng Ai.

……

The big camp of the Flying Leopard Legion, the big tent of the Chinese army!

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Zhi and Xu Huang sat on the main seat, and Ju Fu, Pan Feng, Ma Tan, Zhang Yi, and Deng Ai sat on both sides.

"This time...... Shu Zhi has made great contributions, not only the two cities of Liankesha Xian and Yixian County, but also the 10,000 reinforcements who defeated Xiling City, and the capture of Huang Zu Lao'er's only son Huang Jie. ”

Xu Huang raised the teacup in his hand, and then, took a sip of tea, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Huang...... But the envy is tight! ”

Chen Zhi and Xu Huang are not only the heroes who followed Li Mu first, but also the two have been working together to guard Liangzhou for a long time, and the private relationship between the two is naturally quite deep!

"Gongming, don't be so joking!"

Hearing Xu Huang's sincere congratulations, Chen Zhi waved his hand with a smile, and then said loudly with a smile on his face: "Gongming Lianke the four cities in the north of Jiangxia County, how can it not be...... It's a great achievement! ”

As soon as Chen Zhi's words fell, the two looked at each other and laughed. Jufu and Ma Jian also laughed heartily.

It was a long time before the laughter stopped.

"As you see ......"

Then, Chen Zhi put away the smile on his face, looked around at the generals, and asked with a solemn expression on his face: "If our army wants to capture Xiling City, what good strategies can be used?" ”

Hearing what Chen Zhi said, everyone thought deeply.

After leaning less, Ju Fu seemed to think of something, and was the first to say: "General Chen, what the last general has seen...... Our army can make good use of yellow shooting! If Huang Zu learned...... His only son, Huang Jie, is now in the hands of our army, and he wants to come...... I think Kaejo will surrender to our army! ”

Jufu's proposal, Chen Zhi and Xu Huang naturally understood.

If...... It would be better to use Huang Jie's life as a bargaining chip to coerce Huang Zu to give up Xiling City.

And so on...... The Liangzhou army can get Xiling City without bloodshed, so as to ...... Unnecessary losses can also be avoided. These losses include strategic materials such as ordnance, money and food, and of course, more importantly, the casualties of the soldiers of the Liangzhou army can be avoided!

If you can really do what the sentence says...... Huang Zu is willing to hand over Xiling City and is willing to serve the Liangzhou Army, which is really worth it! Hearing what Jufu said, Chen Zhi and Xu Huang suddenly had a look of joy on their faces.

Ma Yan looked in the direction of Chen Zhi and Xu Huang, and then looked at the direction of the others, and then shook his head with a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Xu Huang groaned with a bit of curiosity: "You often feel ...... Is the general's remarks inappropriate? Huang Zu Lao'er was unwilling to open the city and surrender...... Unwilling to join our army? ”

As soon as Xu Huang's words fell, Chen Zhi took over the conversation, and muttered with some curiosity: "Tiger poison still doesn't eat children!" Could it be ...... Will Huang Zu Lao'er give up the life of his only son Huang Shot for the sake of just Xiling City? ”

Obviously, Chen Dao's question is also the question of everyone in the tent. Immediately, everyone looked in the direction of Ma Yan, waiting for his explanation!

In Ma Tan's heart, he already had his own decision, but he didn't sell it, and said aloud with a very determined expression: "What I see...... Huang Zu Lao'er, he would rather lose his only son than give Xiling City to our army! ”

"Huang Zu Lao'er...... Is it really so ruthless? ”

Zhang Yi hesitated quite incomprehensibly: "If you lose your only son, what's the point of Huang Zu Lao'er leaving Xiling City?" And besides...... Huang Zu Lao'er wants to defend Xiling City, which is tantamount to an idiot's dream! ”

Obviously, Zhang Yi's question is also a question in everyone's heart.

In any case, Xiling City cannot be defended, and Huang Zu should also be clear. That being the case...... Why did Huang Zu lose his only son for nothing?

"Before he was loyal to the lord, he had been in Jingzhou for a long time, and he had a few encounters with Huang Zu! Huang Zuqi is quite ambitious, not a person who takes care of family affection. ”

Ma Jian shook his head slightly, and then said in a determined voice: "You can conclude it...... Huang Zu can ignore Huang Shot for the sake of his own hegemony! Even if it's ...... Huang Zu knew that Xiling City could not be defended, and he would give up Huang Jie's life! ”

Ma Yan has the ability to grasp people's hearts, and Chen Zhi and Xu Huang naturally know it. Since Ma Tan can make such a firm assertion, I want to ...... What Fang just said should be very sure!

Xu Huang nodded slowly, and then said in a solemn voice: "If it is really as you say...... If our army wants to capture Xiling City, we can only choose another good strategy! ”

Chen Zhi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Do you have a good plan for capturing Xiling City?" ”

"Outside the east gate of Xiling City is to lift water, and outside the west gate is to pour water, if you attack Xiling City from the east and west, it is naturally not the best policy!"

"If our army wants to break through Xiling City, it can only send troops from the north and south. Then again...... Storming Xiling City is not the best policy! If you want to capture Xiling City, you can first destroy the available soldiers under Huang Zu's tent! ”

"In this case, tomorrow, our army can take Huang Zhu and go to persuade Huang Zu to surrender. If Huang Zu is indifferent and stubborn, then he ...... There's no need to stay! ”

"If Huang Shot died at the hands of our army, with Huang Zu's violent character, he should have sent troops out of anger. As long as Huang Zu dares to lead his troops out of the city, our army can fight with him. ”

"As long as we can wipe out the combatable soldiers in Xiling City to the greatest extent, then ...... Huang Zu's death is not far away! ”

As soon as Chen Dao's words fell, Deng Ai told the thoughts in his heart.

Everyone thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
