"Lord, I think it's actually quite simple to open the city gate, but the premise is that we can have enough soldiers to infiltrate Yang Zhai City, let's pretend to attack the city in front of it, put pressure on the yellow turbans in the city, and then wait until the soldiers can find an opportunity to control the city gate at night, and then it will be our chance to take Yang Zhai."

"Well, the idea is quite good, but Bocai is not a fool, the night attack was successful before because he didn't understand our night combat ability, and now, Bocai estimates that his defense at night will not be weaker than during the day. Therefore, it is quite difficult for the infiltrated soldiers to get close to the city gate. ”

"Let's see what General Huangfu has to say first." Su Xiu saw that Zhang Fei was indeed changing, no matter whether the strategy he proposed could be implemented or not, as long as he was willing to think about it, then he would be able to better reduce his losses in the future battles, which was what Su Xiu wanted to see the most.

Coming to the Changshe, Su Xiu saw Cao Cao again, both of them were very happy, it has been almost five years since they said goodbye to each other last time, and they have a good impression of each other, which can be regarded as sympathy, this time they are about to fight side by side, and the two of them do feel a lot of emotion.

Su Xiu briefly learned about the reinforcements brought by Cao Cao, which were not too elite, but fortunately, they had been on the battlefield, they were all veterans, and they had fought several big battles in Bingzhou when Xianbei Koubian was a few years ago. Half of the stone in Su Xiu's heart fell, and half of it didn't fall because the number of this group of people was a bit small, only 8,000 infantry, and I was afraid that the vanguard would have to ask him to fight.

In all fairness, if it weren't for Bo Cai leading the troops, Su Xiu would have wanted to win the vanguard, but although this Bo Cai suffered two losses in his hands, Su Xiu didn't underestimate him at all, except for Zhang Jiao, Bo Cai is estimated to be the most talented military commander in the Yellow Turban Army, and this credit is probably to be piled up with a large number of soldiers' lives.

Sure enough, when discussing with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song directly proposed to let Su Xiu's infantry take on the main force of the siege, and the reinforcements brought by Cao Cao were responsible for responding. Su Xiu didn't speak, just looked at Huangfu Song calmly, seeing that Huangfu Song looked embarrassed, and Zhu Jun was embarrassed.

Cao Cao didn't know what to do, and asked, "Pingdi, what's wrong with you, why are you looking at the old general Huangfu like this?" ”

"Meng De, I want to hear what you think about the capture of Yangzhai." Su Xiu did not answer Cao Cao directly, but asked Cao Cao to share his opinion.

"In my opinion, this Yangzhai City is not tall, and there are no protective means such as moats, which is similar to the situation of Changshe, but we still should not attack it. At the beginning, Bocai's troops far surpassed us, but they were unable to take Changshe for a long time, and now our forces are still at a disadvantage, and forcibly attacking the city is very disadvantageous to us. ”

"But if we don't attack the city, then how can we take Yang Zhai?" Hearing this, Huangfu Song put away his embarrassment and asked.

"Sun Tzu said, 'Those who use soldiers, attack the heart first, attack the city second', 'go to the army to fight and strategize, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then attack the city', Pingdi has twice defeated Bocai since he aided the Changshe, I believe that Pingdi must have a good plan."

"Meng De praised it falsely, I am a martial artist, where is there any good strategy to break the enemy, or Meng De should tell me your high opinion."

Yes, these two have started to play Tai Chi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other, but there was no way, their own personnel had been disabled, and now the troops in the hands of Su Xiu and Cao Cao could be taken by the Changshe.

Su Xiu has cavalry in his hands, and the 30,000 people who came in the follow-up are also elite soldiers, if Su Xiu can be allowed to attack the city, the grasp will naturally be greater, but Huangfu Song They just wanted to defend the Changshe from Su Xiu's hands, and now they want to let the family take the lead, and they are indeed a little panicked.

And the reinforcements brought by Cao Cao were only 8,000 in total, even if they were veterans, but the elite level could not catch up with Su Xiu's Taishan army, and it was estimated that they would be defeated before they went to the city wall.

Cao Cao is also a generation of heroes after all, and his ability to observe words and emotions is still quite strong, seeing Su Xiu's refusal to say his thoughts for a long time, he understands that most of them are going to ask for help During this time, there may be some unhappy things between Su Xiu and Huangfu Song, which makes today's meeting a little embarrassing.

"Actually, I really don't have a very good way, but since Pindi has spoken, then I'll also talk about it, two generals, you are perennial leaders of the army, if there is anything wrong with what I said, please correct me more."

"The topography of Yangzhai City is not much different from that of Changshe, it is a plain area, and Bo Cai was very hurried when he entered Yangzhai this time, and he was burned by Pingdi before, so most of them will stick to it at this moment. We can completely adopt the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements, first knock out the yellow turban that supports Yang Zhai, so that Bocai must go out of the city to receive reinforcements, and then the cavalry in the hands of Ping Di can outflank Bocai's back road, and defeat the morale that Bocai finally gathered up, and then we use the offensive strategy, and it will not be difficult for Yangzhai City to take. ”

"Mengde, I just said that you must have a way, isn't it good? What do you think, two generals? Su Xiu's own thoughts are actually similar to Cao Cao's, but just now Huangfu Song wanted him to take the lead in attacking the city, not to mention whether he was selfish or not, but such a move made Su Xiu feel like he was being used, so he didn't say it.

"Well, yes, Gongwei, it seems that we are really old, and now these young people are all so good, my Han Zhongxing is hopeful."

"Yizhen, Meng De's method is feasible, but our troops are limited, I'm afraid it's not so easy to encircle the reinforcements, and the soldiers are besieging Yang Zhai, and they are trying to defeat the reinforcements, and He Yi, who is closest to Yang Zhai, has 30,000 people who dare to fight."

"Two generals, this is not too difficult, He Yi's department is located in the northwest of Yangzhai, at that time our Taishan army will be stationed in the northwest of Yangzhai, after finding out that He Yi sent troops, as long as it is late at night, quietly set off, several generals sent some sergeants into our camp, and then set up suspicious soldiers, Bo Cai did not dare to send troops easily."

"Well, since both of you say so, then our two old men have nothing to object, so let's do as you say."

……

After the plan was set, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and Su Xiu led the army to set off in the direction of Yangzhai. Su Xiu asked Yu Ban to set off in advance with the Wolf Tooth Battalion to find out the news in Yangzhai, and if there was a chance, he would take the opportunity to let the Wolf Tooth soldiers infiltrate Yangzhai City, waiting for the opportunity to cause some sabotage, and spread rumors to confuse his army.

Two days later, the Han army arrived in Yangzhai, Bocai really closed the city gate, held out, Huangfu Song went to the city gate before the battle did not see Bocai respond, for two days, Bocai did not even come out, as long as the Han army approached Yangzhai, the archers on the city wall opened their bows and arrows, forcing the Han army to be able to get close to the city wall for two days.
