After fighting with the Yellow Turban Army for several months, and fighting in the north and south, it was not easy to trap Zhang Bao this time, Zhu Yi and Sun Jian naturally refused to let go of this opportunity, if Zhang Bao escaped again, they didn't know what trouble would happen.

Zhu Yi and Sun Jian's determination is to exterminate Zhang Bao's subordinates, not to let him resurrect, not to give him a chance to breathe, to encourage some Yellow Turban thieves for a while, and to win over some rogues for a while.

However, at this time, the attack was quite difficult, and the streets of the city were crisscrossed, and the situation was very complicated. If the officers and soldiers want to clear the Yellow Turban Army, they must be divided into several units and searched and exterminated in the courtyards of each street, and what Zhu Yi is afraid of is that the officers and troops will be defeated by the Yellow Turban Army. Small wins add up to a lot, and small wins become big wins. The strength of the officers and troops has been damaged, and when the time comes, let alone annihilating the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that it will be in great danger.

The two knew that Zhao Yiqi had made many moves, and the victory of Yangcheng this time was also caused by Zhao Yiqiaoji. Zhu Yi and Sun Jian couldn't think of that kind of strategy at all.

Zhao Yi groped his chin when he heard the two of them asking: "General, I have two strategies." ”

"Two stratagems?" Zhu Yi and Sun Jian glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked, "What is the strategy?" The two of them thought hard and didn't think of a plan, but Zhao Yi actually thought of two.

Zhao Yi unfolded the map of Yangcheng County, pointed to the streets on the map, and explained to the two generals: "At this time, our army is guarding the four gates of Yangcheng, but the Yellow Turban Army can move freely at the city gate; Yunshui Sword. This will not work, we must limit the activities of the Yellow Turbans, and it is better to cut the Yellow Turbans into several pieces, so that they cannot be connected at the end and things cannot be taken care of. "If the official army guards the city wall, it loses its agility and can only stay on the city wall, which has little impact on the Yellow Turban Army operating in the city, while the Yellow Turban Army can secretly organize superior forces and storm a city gate. And the difference between defending the city inside the city and outside the city is heaven and earth, how can the official army resist the attack of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops.

"The last general has just checked the map, as long as we send elite soldiers to guard these dozen courtyards and streets, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely be divided into several parts by our army. At that time, we don't need to attack, as long as we can maintain this position for five days, the Yellow Turban Army's heart will be broken. However, this move is very risky, our army stationed in the city is like nailing nails into the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Bao will definitely launch a crazy attack on these places, and the soldiers stationed there may face more than ten times his own Yellow Turban thieves. Zhao Yi explained the drawbacks.

This method is slow and dangerous, Zhu Yi and Sun Jian are not very optimistic, and hurriedly ask for the second plan.

Zhao Yi closed the map and stood up: "The second plan is very simple, there are only two words 'assassination'. At present, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army has not collapsed is that there is Zhang Bao, the spiritual pillar, if Zhang Bao dies, these allied Yellow Turban Army will suddenly collapse. At that time, as long as the official army attacks slightly, the Yellow Turban Army will be crushed at the slightest touch. ”

The Yellow Turban Army is a rabble, completely relying on Zhang Bao to unite together, if Zhang Bao dies, these small leaders will definitely play their own little calculations, how can the Yellow Turban Army, who cannot work together, be the opponent of the official army.

Zhu Yi stroked his beard: "Although Bolai's strategy is good, it may be difficult to achieve. As the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Bao naturally defended very tightly. How could our Assassins get close to Zhang Bao? "An arrow piercing the heart is a good strategy, but looking at his own department, he did not find the "arrow" that could kill Zhang Bao, although Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and others were brave, they could not kill one in the tens of thousands of troops and kill Zhang Bao back and forth.

When Zhao Yi said this strategy, Sun Jian immediately showed vigilance, and now in the official army camp, Zhu Yi and Zhao Yi have no generals around them, only Sun Jian's subordinates. If Zhao Yi proposed to let Cheng Pu and Huang Gai go, how should Sun Jian refuse, Cheng Pu and the others are generals, but they are not those assassins.

Zhao Yi waved his hand: "The general misunderstood the meaning of the last general, what the last general said was that the assassin was not our soldiers, but Zhang Jiao's trusted generals." ”

Zhang Bao's cronies and generals are naturally loyal to Zhang Bao, how could he assassinate Zhang Bao. Zhu Yi and Sun Jian both showed strange looks, wondering if Zhao Yi was daydreaming.

Zhao Yi didn't wait for these people to ask, so he originally said the matter: "The last general means to send someone to persuade Zhang Bao's cronies and generals to surrender. However, this is not easy to achieve. "The reason why cronies and generals are called cronies is naturally loyal to Zhang Bao, if they fail to persuade them to surrender, eighty percent of the people who go will be killed.

Zhu Yi and Sun Jian were silent, and Zhao Yi was telling the truth. "And we have to step up the handling of this matter, otherwise it will be useless if Zhang Bao breaks through." Zhao Yi sighed. This matter should not be delayed, today's defeat of Zhang Bao's army will definitely show that the situation has gathered the morale of the army and led the soldiers to break through the siege.

Compared with the above two strategies, Zhu Yi and Sun Jian both attached importance to the assassination strategy, and muttered: "If it is persuaded to surrender, who should be sent?" "When he spoke, his eyes were looking at Zhao Yi." Bo Lai is the first strategist in our army, and his witty words are sharp. Indeed the most suitable person. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yi didn't answer, just glanced at Zhu Yi who spoke, and used my strategy to attack Yangcheng, at this time, the great achievement is at your fingertips, Zhu Yi is going to unload the mill and kill the donkey?

Sun Jian shook his head: "Although Bolai is a suitable candidate, he can't go." Bo Lai fought with the Yellow Turban Army many times, defeated the Yellow Turban Thieves many times, and had tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Thieves in his hands. Sun Jian is right, Zhao Yi is very famous in the Yellow Turban Army, and has become the fourth person to know the role of Zhang Jiao's three brothers. However, unlike the three brothers who revered Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Army only had a deep grudge against Zhao Yi.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi, why did the Yellow Turban Army fall to today's field, the Battle of Guangzong and the Battle of Changshe were all made by Zhao Yi, and more than half of the elite of the Yellow Turban Army were lost. At this time, when the Yellow Turban Army heard Zhao Yi's name, they hated and feared.

At this time, one of the people in the account spoke: "Three generals, can I go and persuade me to surrender?" ”

Zhao Yi wanted to get rid of the talisman, but there were still people scrambling to go; Zhang Yaoming's happy life in the other world. The three of them looked back and saw that this person was none other than Zhou Wen, the county magistrate of Yangcheng.

Previously, when Yangcheng was attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, the county commander had ordered Zhou Wen to go to Zhu Yi's military camp to ask for help, but unfortunately the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city too fast, and Zhao Yi's troops were one step late, resulting in the fall of Yangcheng.

Zhao Yi glanced at Zhou Wen: "Sir, you can know that this is unpredictable." ”

"Of course I know, but I've decided to go. On that day, the county commander led the army to stain the city wall with blood, but I lived alone. Although Zhou Wen was a literati, his desire for revenge was undiminished. This time there is a chance to wipe out the Yellow Turban Thieves, how can I give up. Zhou Wen said impassionedly.

Zhao Yi and the others sighed with emotion and agreed with Zhou Wen to persuade him to surrender: "Mr. may be more auspicious if he goes, I am willing to help Mr. Later I will send soldiers to the main points in the city. You also have the confidence to negotiate with them. ”

Zhou Wen nodded and went down to prepare, Zhao Yi stared at Zhou Wen's back and sighed, and said in his heart that in this era, there are not only generals who are brave enough to kill, but also literati who are unswerving.

Zhao Yi and others discussed how to deal with Zhang Bao, and at this time, Zhang Bao in the city was gathering soldiers to discuss matters in the palace. Unlike the panic of the generals below, Zhang Bao remained calm. Surrounded by officials and soldiers, they can still talk and laugh as usual, just because of this guts, these generals below are ashamed of themselves.

In fact, at this time, Zhang Bao's heart was also up and down, he originally wanted to escape from the east gate and try to make a big deal. was blocked back by Zhao Yi, although there was no danger to his life at this time, but he was surrounded by officials and soldiers, and there was not much food in the hands of the soldiers. As long as the officials can surround it for three days, and then they don't need to do it with the hands of the officials and soldiers, the Yellow Turban Army itself will be in chaos.

Although Zhang Bao was kneeling here as usual, he also wanted to find someone to ask what to do now. His eyes glanced over the faces of the generals standing below, and he took in the various expressions on the faces of the generals, and a light cough attracted the attention of these generals: "The new defeat of our army has greatly reduced its spirit, but this is an extraordinary time, and our army has reached a time of great difficulty. At this time, the officers and troops surrounded us on all sides, and if our army could not break through as soon as possible, they would surely die without a place to bury. ”

Zhang Bao made these generals show a solemn look on their faces in just a few words, this battle is very important, it is a battle of life and death.

The strategist stroked his beard and explained the situation at this time: "Don't panic, generals, the situation is favorable to our army at this time, the officers and soldiers are guarding the four major city gates, and the troops will definitely be scattered, as long as we concentrate our superior forces to attack one of its city gates, we will be able to break through successfully. ”

For the Yellow Turban Army, there is only one chance to break through, if the city gate cannot be attacked for a long time, they will be blocked and killed by the officers and soldiers of the other three gates, and then they will be defeated by the enemy.

These generals explained what they thought one after another, and the majority of the generals who agreed to attack the west gate were opposed, but no one proposed the east gate, which was opposed to them.

Today, the Yellow Turban Army is retreating from the West Gate, the West Gate has been broken, and it is easier for them to rush and kill, and the East Gate is guarded by Zhao Yi, who is known as the elite of the official army. At this time, these generals were already scared by Zhao Yi, and today Yangcheng fell into, and it is said that it was Zhao Yi's strategy again. Even if Zhao Yi's department is not the elite of the official army, only Zhao Yi is in the army. These yellow turban generals had to be reestimated.

Zhang Bao also expressed his thoughts: "I decided to attack the east gate. ”

"East Gate? General, the east gate is guarded by Zhao Yi. "The general evacuated from the east gate with Zhang Bao today, but was blocked back by Zhao Yi, and he still has lingering palpitations when he thinks about the ferocity of Zhao Yi's department. On the occasion of life and death, Zhang Bao led the army to attack Zhao Yi, wouldn't he be looking for death.

Zhang Bao stared at the general and snorted lightly: "General Yan Zheng, since the beginning of the uprising, you have followed me to fight in the south and the north, what a hero we were when we killed officials and released food, but today we were frightened by a little Zhao Yi, where is your heroism in the past?" ”

"Our army's thoughts at this time will definitely be guessed by Zhao Yi, if we do the opposite, there may be unexpected results, all the generals go back and prepare, our army will act tonight." Attacking the West Gate, the officers and soldiers naturally could also think that they would definitely guard the Yellow Turban Army with heavy troops, and there might be no return. If this is the case, it is better to fight and attack the stronger city gates.

Yan Zheng returned to his headquarters with a worried expression, and his guards saw Yan Zheng walking two steps: "General, there are guests in the camp." ”
