After the generals and horses packed up, Zhao Qian gathered Xu Chu and Tai Shici and led the army to Jizhou.

At this time, Jizhou Yecheng had been surrounded by Xu Huang's army, and Zhao Qian ordered the army to transport soil around the city into a mountain, and set up a lookout tower on it to watch the movement in the city.

Two days later, there was a military academy in Yecheng, shouting surrender, running to Zhao Qian's army, and was held by the left and right guards to see Zhao Qian.

"Who's coming?" Zhao Qian was not angry and arrogant.

The man knelt in front of Zhao Qian and said with a sneer: "The villain is the guard of the east gate of Yecheng, named Feng Li, and now he has come to defect to the general. ”

Zhao Qian snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you vote early, don't vote late, but come to vote at this time!" Why in the end, it is recruited from the truth! ”

"Say!" Zhang Fei shouted even more.

Feng Li was frightened, where did he dare to deceive, so he had to admit: "The little one was drunk yesterday and missed the duty of inspection, the trial and matching laws were strict, and he was beaten with a cane for twenty, and I really hated it, so I defected to the general, and I am willing to offer a plan for the general to seize the city to repay my hatred!" ”

After hearing this, the generals all glared at Feng Li with disdain, and Zhao Qian's face was also grim.

After a while, Zhao Qian asked lightly: "Since you have come to defect to General Ben, let's talk about it, what is the best plan to break the city?" ”

Feng Li hurriedly said: "The east gate is full of land, there is no sealed stone, the general can send someone to dig a tunnel and sneak into the city." ”

Zhao Qian listened, thought about it, and it seemed that there was no good way at present, so he said: "In this case, I will serve you as the vanguard captain, lead two hundred soldiers, dig tunnels, enter the city and open the city gate, if successful, after taking Yecheng, I will definitely bow to the marquis!" ”

When Feng Li heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The small one will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general!" ”

So, Zhao Qian gave Feng Li two hundred people, and hurriedly dug the tunnel after sunset.

In Yecheng City, after learning that Feng Li had fled, he was even more careful, and he must have personally inspected the city every night.

That night, the judge came to the East Gate City, saw that there were no lights outside the city, and was suspicious. ”

So he ordered someone to bring stones, and when Feng Li's tunnel was dug into the city, he gave an order, and the stones rolled down, and the poor two hundred soldiers, under the leadership of Feng Li, all died in the tunnel.

Hearing this, Zhao Qian sighed, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Yuan Shao, if his subordinates were military generals who were bent on fighting against themselves, it would be difficult to say the number of victories and defeats now.

On the second day, when Zhao Qian and others had not yet come up with a strategy to break the city, the sergeant of the Feixun Battalion came with news that Yuan Shang led the army to Yecheng after learning that Yin Kai and Fu Hu had died and Handan was lost.

So, Zhao Qian withdrew the besieging army, retreated to the shore of Huanshui, set up camp, and waited for Yuan Shang's reinforcements.

That night, the gate of Yecheng was quietly opened, and a team came out of the city, which was sent by the trial to meet Yuan Shang's army, led by the chief bookkeeper Li Fu.

It's just that this team hasn't gone far yet, and suddenly two cannons rang out, shouting and killing, and it was Tai Shici and Xu Huang who each led thousands of soldiers and horses to attack.

Li Fu led the army to resist hard, but how could he be the opponent of the two tiger generals, plus Zhao Qian came from behind, and personally risked the arrows, after most of the Yecheng army was killed and wounded, he had to retreat into the city, not daring to come back.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian did not hesitate, and ordered: "Now Yuan Shangtun's soldiers are in Yangping Pavilion, and they are waiting for the soldiers and horses of Yecheng to converge, and they will not be defended, and we will go to rob the village!" ”

Besides, Yuan Shang, who was originally waiting for the soldiers and horses that Yecheng received, but what he didn't want to come was Zhao Qian's team, and in a panic, he personally responded to the battle.

The armies and horses of all walks of life fought in one place, and after a short time, Yuan Shang was not the enemy, and led the defeated troops to retreat to Xishan Xiazhai to mediate a little.

Yuan Shang knew that the camp of Xishan alone would not be able to resist the attack of Zhao Qian's army no matter what, so he found Yin Kui and ordered him to go to Zhao Qian's place to ask for surrender.

Zhao Qian saw Yin Kui, and after listening to his words, he comforted him, pretended to agree, and let Yin Kui go back.

After Yin Kui left, Zhao Qian laughed and said, "Yuan Benchu's two sons are really half a catty and eight taels, it's a pity and a pathetic!" ”

So, he ordered Tai Shici and Xu Huang to lead thousands of elite soldiers to attack the Xishan camp, where did Yuan Shang take precautions, and the seals, knots, clothes, and baggage were all discarded, and he led the remnants of the army to flee to Zhongshan County.

Zhao Qian ordered someone to send an order to Zhang Yan, and asked him to search for Yuan Shang, whether he lived or died, and then led the army back to Yecheng and continued to attack Jizhou.

Passing by the Zhanghe River on the march, Guo Jia said: "Lord, why not attack with water?" Dig the water of the Zhanghe River to flood the city. ”

Zhao Qian nodded, shook his head again, and said, "If you are wise, you will not be fooled, and if you are prepared, I am afraid it will be in vain." ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Judging this person, although he is wise, he is arrogant, and he does not put people in his eyes, the lord can dig a shallow ditch during the day to slow down his heart, and dig a deep trench at night to achieve his success!" ”

So, according to what Guo Jia said, Zhao Qian sent soldiers to dig trenches outside Yecheng.

When the judge was inspecting, he really saw Zhao Qianjun digging a trench, but after seeing the depth, he smiled at the person next to him: "Zhao Qian wants to flood Yecheng with the water of the Zhanghe River, but it's so shallow, what's the use?" Zhao Qian is nothing more than that! ”

So, the trial did not care, that night, Zhao Qian sent ten times the troops, the trench dug deep, and when the dawn came, the depth was already two zhang, Zhao Qian gave an order, the water of the Zhanghe River surged in, poured into Yecheng.

Then Zhao Qian ordered people to persuade people to surrender words, written on silk cloth, with arrows into the city, for a while, the hearts of the soldiers and people in the city were shaking, there were those who talked about surrendering, and the trial could not be stopped.

There was also Zhao Qian who ordered Yuan Shang to surrender the army, carrying Yuan Shang's seal ribbon and jieyue, and shouting outside the city to persuade him to surrender, which made the people in the city panic.

Finally, the nephew of the trial Rong couldn't bear it, opened the west gate, and led Zhao Qian's army into Yecheng.

It's just that before he got close, he met Xu Huang on the road, was captured alive by Xu Huang, and was tied up to see Zhao Qian.

"What do you have to say about the city broken today?" Zhao Qian asked.

The judge stood with his head held high and said, "The wisdom is poor and lonely, and there is nothing to say." ”

"Do you know that the one who sacrificed the city is your nephew and the honor?" Zhao Qian asked.

The judge's eyes widened, and he hated: "The kid is ignorant, and that's it!" ”

Zhao Qian sighed lightly and asked: "I have the quality of the South and the wisdom, and I have both loyalty and righteousness, now that Yecheng has been broken, Yuan Shang has fled, can I surrender?" ”

The judge snorted coldly and said: "I am willing to start from the beginning, not to fall, not to fall!" ”

"Do you have a last word?" Zhao Qian asked again.

The judge turned to face the north and said, "My lord is in the north, and I am willing to face the north and die!" ”

Zhao Qian waved his hand, ordered someone to escort out the trial, and sighed: "There are so many famous people in Hebei, but unfortunately the Yuan family doesn't know how to use it, if I can use it to the fullest, how dare I look at Jizhou!" ”
