Bailiyan (i.e. Wei Xian)'s plan seems to be in line with Thunder, Bailiyan intends to use Pucheng to attract the Jin army, and Thunder uses Pucheng to kill three birds with one stone.

If the Xian army sent troops to rescue, he would divide his troops to attack Dingyang, so that the Xian army would ignore it. If the Xian army did not save Pucheng, Thunder besieged Guangxin, led the Jin army to cross the sea to fight Pucheng, and then besieged it, and then attacked Leicheng again, forcing the Jin army to clash with the Xian army.

But the difference is that Bailiyan's purpose in luring the Jin army was to shrink the strength and stick to Guangxin and Dingyang, and Pucheng was ceded to the Jin army, so that the Jin army could be heavily garrisoned, forming three places to contain the rebels, and then to attack westward, forcing the 150,000 rebels to retreat west to pursue and stabilize the rear.

Thunder withdrew 150,000 soldiers and horses from the west bank of the Yongxing River, so that the Black Turban Army on the west bank of the Yongxing River had more than 300,000 people left, which should be on par with the strength of the Xian Army on the east bank of the Yongxing River. Coupled with the construction of Yongxing City, the Xian army actually had more soldiers and horses than the rebels on the west bank.

At this time, even if 780,000 people were to be transferred north from the east bank of the Yongxing River to Guangxin, the threat of the rebels on the west bank to the east bank would never be greater than 500,000 against 300,000.

Moreover, there are still Jin army and Liang army behind the Xian army, and if something happens to Yongxinghe, they are bound to go to reinforcements, so the Yongxinghe army actually has an absolute advantage, if it is not for the Jin State and the Liang State to have their own ghosts, at this time they will join forces to strike, and the rebels on the west bank will be severely damaged.

Since the Liang army and the Jin army were indifferent, they did not send troops and horses from the Yongxing River to the north at this time to strengthen the city defense of Guangxin and Dingyang. In this way, there is no need to worry about the 150,000 rebels of the thunder posing a threat to Ding Yang and Guangxin, Ye Xin's 30,000 soldiers and horses will withdraw to the west at this time, and the Black Turban Army will have no power to parry.

Ye Xin couldn't make up his mind after all, and planned to send someone to ask Zhao Xun immediately. Then 30,000 men and horses camped east of the rebels, ten miles apart.

In the afternoon of the same day, the two armies continued to be peaceful, and both sides sent scout cavalry to privately reconnoiter the situation of the other side.

On the other hand, the rebels continued to strengthen the construction of the barracks, and before dark, a man-high earthen wall was rammed out in some areas, and the construction was carried out day and night, and by the next day the earthen wall had exceeded half a zhang, and another site was selected around it to resist the second barracks, and the signs of long-term garrison have become more and more obvious.

On the third day, the first camp began to take shape, the second camp was completed that night, and the construction of the third camp began.

In addition, there is another incomprehensible thing, the 150,000 rebels are lightly armed, and the accompanying grain and grass will not exceed half a month, before entering Beihai County, they can still receive help from Duxian Xijun and Xianxi County along the way, and now they have entered Beihai County for five or six days, and there has been no supply of grain and grass.

If it is to be stationed for a long time, it must be transported from the rear, but judging from the information fed back by the scouts one after another, there is no sign of the rebels transporting supplies and baggage within a radius of two hundred miles. If there is no food and grass to respond, how can the thunder have the confidence to attack the city.

At the same time, Ye Xin sent 5,000 cavalry to Pucheng to meet the evacuation.

There are 70,000 or 80,000 people in Pucheng, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, more than 3,000 county soldiers, and nearly 5,000 temporarily conscripted conscripts and civilian troops, but they are all minors and middle-aged and elderly people in their 40s, and there are only a handful of strong men, and this year the Black Turban Army has attacked Pucheng with 30,000 people, if it were not for the rescue of Guangxin, Pucheng would have been lost.

The news of Pucheng's evacuation also quickly reached the ears of the Thunder King, who heard that the Xian army was withdrawing from Pucheng, and Thunder's first reaction was that the Xian army wanted to abandon Pucheng.

"The Xianjun is going to abandon the city!"

At this time, Qin Han hurriedly said:

"Abandon the city? Didn't you say that the Pucheng Xianjun army would be saved, and now that the city is abandoned, won't our plan fail? ”

"Supposedly...... Pucheng is the gateway of Guangxin, and the Xian army will be saved, so they are not afraid that the king of heaven will attack Guangxin based on Pucheng? ”

"Heavenly King, there are more than 700,000 people in Guangxin, although our army is numerous, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses if we attack rashly."

"How do you know it's worth the loss? Although there are more than 700,000 people in Guangxin, the grain and grass are only enough to support less than half a year. ”

Qin Han thought to himself at this time, if he had besieged the city with a fire a few days ago, wouldn't Guangxin have become a turtle in the urn at this time, and Bailiyan would have been besieged and killed in the city, so he had to withdraw his troops to fight Dingyang, otherwise why would he have to do this more today. Even though he thought so, Qin Han didn't dare to make a noise.

"Heavenly King, Pucheng is at your fingertips, do you want to send troops to capture it immediately?"

Thunder then asked rhetorically:

"The Xianjun army is willing to give up Pucheng, will they still save it?"

"What does the king mean?"

"When Gu Bai and Ikeda soldiers and horses escort grain and grass here, our army will be divided into three routes, 80,000 people will stay in Dazhai, and the king of this day will lead an army of 120,000 to take Pucheng, and then divide the troops to surround Guangxin."

"The soldiers are divided into three ways, isn't this a way for the Jin army to break through from behind!"

"Will the Jin army? Shouldn't the Jin army wait for our army to take Guangxin, and then fight with the Xian army, and then they will strike a blow from behind.

Besides, if the Jin army dares to attack me from behind, this Heavenly King cannot use 200,000 soldiers and horses to encircle and annihilate it between Guangxin and Pucheng. ”

Although the result of the Xian army rushing to Pucheng and abandoning Pucheng was the same, they were eventually occupied by the rebels, and finally used to lure the Jin army, but the process and nature were completely different.

If the Xian army rushes to help, it will inevitably be a battle to the death, and since it is a battle to the death, then both sides will definitely suffer heavy losses. The rebels then went to attack Guangxin, and the habitual thinking would think that the loss of troops on both sides would be greater, so the news of the loss of troops was very important, and in order to lure the Jin army to cross the sea and attack Pucheng, the rebels must release the illusion of heavy losses.

But now the Xian army does not let go of a single shot and surrenders Pucheng, which means that the strength of the Xian army and the rebels have not been lost, and if the Xian army holds on to Guangxin, it will be very difficult for the rebels to make a feint attack to create the illusion of heavy casualties.

Lei Ting then sold an innocuous and very tempting flaw, and divided the 200,000 soldiers and horses into three ways, so that the Jin army could see that Pucheng still had a gap to take advantage of, and at the same time let the rebels' backs give up the Jin army, so that the Jin army felt that it could create the illusion of a heavy blow to the rebels. But in this way, it is tantamount to taking a risk.

"Heavenly King, if the Jin army is dispatched, my army is afraid that it will not be able to parry." Qin Han wanted to cry without tears at this time, it was obvious that he was risking the enemy on his back to surround Guangxin.

Thunder disagreed:

"Qin Caidong, the reason why he was able to stabilize the Jin army before all depends on Qin Caidong's strength. Whether our army can overcome Guangxin this time depends on Qin Caidong. ”

"Me!" Qin Han was taken aback.

"Ji Guang's temperament, Qin Caidong knows it well, and he is indecisive and greedy for cheap, but Qin Caidong said that now Guangxin is so cheap, doesn't he pick it up?"
