Gao Ye, who led the team, and Zhen Yao, who was standing at the city gate, glanced at each other and smiled. When Zhen Yao, the kid, was brought to him by Mi Fang, he had always had doubts about his intentions in his heart, and it happened that he had been planning a surprise attack on Yecheng, so he came to mind. After all, Zhen Yao is the third son of the Zhen family, Yuan Xi's third brother-in-law, with his identity, as long as he is really willing to help him, it is easy to take Yecheng.

But this is precisely the problem, he can't even be sure if he came to defect to be true or not, how to make Zhen Yao sincerely help him to seek Yecheng, it is really not easy. Moreover, the Zhen family has really funded Yuan Shao a lot over the years, and in the Battle of Youzhou, nearly seventy percent of Yuan Shaojun's money, food and materials were supplied by the Zhen family. Zhen Yao put Yuan Shao's thighs and didn't hug them, which was indeed a little unbelievable. However, Gao Ye had made it clear that he had doubts, although Zhen Yao used "eggs can't be put in the same basket" to explain what he or the Zhen family did, but Gao Ye still put forward the condition of blending into Yecheng as an internal response. Otherwise, unless Yuan Shao is completely defeated, it will be difficult for Cao Jun's camp to accept Zhen Yao to join. Even if they do, they will be excluded from the core of the right.

Gao Ye originally wanted to use this to embarrass Zhen Yao, after all, although it is hope, but this hope is really a bit slim, and it may be the best choice to let such hope disappear completely. But what Gao Ye didn't expect was that after thinking about it for a day, Zhen Yao decisively agreed to Gao Ye's conditions, which led to the meeting between the two in front of the city gate today. It's just to be honest, Gao Ye has always been uneasy about Zhen Yao, firstly, because of his Zhen family, and secondly, his conditions are too harsh, and it is difficult to guarantee that Zhen Yao will not have any other thoughts in his heart. Therefore, although Zhen Yao has been in Yecheng, he doesn't know anything about Gao Ye's various arrangements in Yecheng.

Gao Ye has been planning and preparing for this day for more than two years, and has put so much effort into it, so naturally he will not pin his hopes on Zhen Yao, an uncertain factor. I passed the Xu You incident in the early stage and tested Zhen Yao. But to be honest, Zhen Yao did a good job in this matter, far beyond Gao Ye's expectations, and even made Gao Ye wonder if Zhen Yao was really a spy for a while. This time he attacked Yecheng, and in addition to Zhen Yao, he also arranged other back-ups. It was now four o'clock in the hour, and it was winter, and it was dark early, and it was not long before the city should go and set fires, and those who should go and do things. Even if there is any problem with Zhen Yao here, Gao Ye can at least ensure that his people and horses can get out of the way.

But so far, it seems that there is no problem, Zhen Yao can wait for him in front of the city gate, which basically shows that he has no second heart. In fact, Zhen Yao didn't bother whether to help Gao Ye or not, after all, Gao Ye's plan was too crazy, and once it failed, not only himself, but also the entire Zhen family would have to finish. Now that he is the third son of the Zhen family, he can be regarded as a powerful man in this Yecheng, and it may be no worse than joining Cao Cao's camp, or even better. If it weren't for Cao Jun's victory, especially the fact that Yiyang Ju grain and grass was burned by Cao Jun, and he was coerced by the trial and Yuan Shang to hand over another 100,000 stone of grain and grass to the Zhen family, Zhen Yao completely strengthened his determination to help Gao Ye. is also a businessman, the Mi family is thriving on Cao Cao's side, but the Zhen family is struggling in Hebei, which makes Zhen Yao even more desperate for the Yuan family.

The accumulation of various reasons finally made Zhen Yao make up his mind, Zhen Yao not only prepared a feasible plan for Gao Ye, but he himself came to the city gate to wait. After all, as the son of the Zhen family, he has long been a well-known thing in Yecheng, and with him covering Gao Ye and others at the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city will definitely not be more guarded. What's more, now that Yiyang gathers grain and grass and is burned, Yuan Shang urges the urgency of the grain, and his appearance in front of the city gate will not arouse suspicion. Now that the night has come, big things can be expected, and with such credit in hand, there is no one in Cao Ying's troubles! It's just that if you do it yourself, your family in Zhongshan will probably be wiped out, and as soon as Yecheng is taken, you have to hurry up and ask Gao Ye to let him find a way to save his family from Zhongshan.

Gao Ye came to the city gate now, and heard Zhen Yao's address and question about him, so he naturally bowed and saluted before he was about to speak, but Zhen Yao directly interrupted Gao Yeyan and said, "Okay, I'll explain it to me when I go back." The third prince and the magistrate have already inquired many times, so hurry up and transport the grain and grass in first. ”

Gao Ye saw that Zhen Yao's face was anxious, as if he was really dedicated to the public, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, this Zhen Yao is really good at acting. People are acting, and they have to play themselves, so Gao Ye immediately surrendered his promise and shouted for everyone to hurry into the city. Yecheng is the capital of Dayi, and it is the seat of Yuan Shao's governance, the city construction is naturally very complete, and the urn city is also relatively wide. However, the convoy of 500 people carrying grain is more than a mile long in a row, and although the urn city is wide, it is only 100 meters, even if the convoy enters the city in parallel, when Gao Ye walks into the inner city gate, there are still many people waiting to enter the city at the outer city gate.

Seeing that the soldiers at the gate of the city were defenseless and had a rare opportunity, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and cut off the head of the city gate official who was greeting him at the gate with a sword, and then shouted "do it", and the five hundred soldiers of the camp drew their knives from the grain cart and between the grain bags. There were not many soldiers at the gate of the city, only a few dozen people, and they were cut down to the ground by the soldiers who were trapped in the camp. Gao Ye even commanded the soldiers who had already killed the inner city to attack the city wall and completely take the north gate. Gao Shun outside the gate has already been prepared, soon after Gao Ye's grain transport team set off, Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were ready to assault, seeing that the sky was already a little dark, Gao Shun ordered the whole army to move forward at full speed, until the north gate of Yecheng. Therefore, not long after Gao Ye's men began to fight, Gao Shun's brigade of soldiers and horses had already arrived in a hurry, and seeing that the battle had begun at the north gate, he gave an order to let the army rush into the city.

The north gate is already in chaos, but unfortunately I have been worrying about the trial of grain and grass, and I don't know anything at the moment. After all, Yecheng is a big city, and although the shouts of five hundred people are not small, it is not enough to alarm the trial of the documents that are still being dealt with in the Taishou Mansion at this moment. It wasn't until Yuan Shang hurriedly ran in that he knew that there was such a big thing in Yecheng! Suddenly, his head was dizzy and his body shook, if he hadn't held the table in time, he was afraid that he would fall down again. After all, he has been quite tired these days and has slept less, so it is strange that he is not in a hurry when he suddenly hears such bad news. It was not surprising that he got up suddenly, and it was not surprising that he had a temporary lack of blood supply to the brain.

Seeing Yuan Shang with an anxious face, the trial was also hideous, Yecheng was where Yuan Shao's lair was, and it was the fundamental place in the rear, and there was no room for loss. What's more, Yuan Shao's family members are all here, once they fall into the hands of Gao Ye, or if there are so many dead and injured, he can't imagine what the angry Yuan Shao can do. What's more, Yuan Shao trusted himself, so he entrusted Yecheng to himself to guard, if he lost the city, what face would he have to see Yuan Shao? Therefore, as soon as he heard Yuan Shang say that Gao Ye came in from the north gate, the judge immediately asked people to pass the order and straighten out the soldiers to prepare for a counterattack. Even if Gao Ye really kills him, he will beat him out of the city!

Speaking of which, there are still 20,000 defenders in Yecheng, and there are still some private soldiers in his own house, so there must not be much of a problem to deal with a high night who has just entered the city. As long as the North Gate can be recaptured, there is still hope for everything. It's just that how Gao Ye won the north gate, there is still a trace of confusion in the heart of the judge. It stands to reason that even if Gao Ye came to raid, it would be impossible to break through the north gate without everyone being defenseless.

It's just that there is no time to think about these things now, and repelling the high night is the most important thing. Although Yuan Shang was young at this time, he did not listen to the advice of the trial to temporarily evade, but together with the trial, he mobilized the guards and horses of the Taishou Mansion and went to the north gate to resist Gao Ye first. As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, except for the garrison on duty at the head of the city, they are now resting in the barracks, and the drums of war have been beating, and they must have begun to assemble at this time. Therefore, the trial was only to send a man to give an order, and the army could assemble at the north gate.

It's just that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and when the judge hurriedly went to the north gate with Yuan Shang and five hundred soldiers and horses, the entire Yecheng was already in chaos. As far as the eye can see, you can see the scattered fires all around, and the fires are not only in the north, but also in the east and south. Especially in the granary, it was even more blazing, and when the judge saw this, his heart was even more heartbroken. Now that Yuan Shao has lost all the grain and grass gathered in Yiyang, he managed to gather 10,000 stones of grain and grass from the Zhen family, plus more than 20,000 stones obtained by copying Xu You's family, and more than 10,000 stones in his own house, which can barely solve Yuan Jun's urgent need first. But now it has been turned to ashes by this fire! This time, even if he repelled Gao Ye, he couldn't recover such losses.

The farther north you go, the louder the shouts of murder become, and the brighter the fire. At this moment, nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses had gathered around the trial. Although 500 of them were private soldiers who were judged, Yuan Jun's reaction was not slow, after all, as soon as Gao Shun's soldiers and horses entered Yecheng, the first thing they did was to go straight to the barracks in Yecheng City. After all, as long as the defenders can be controlled, Yecheng will be considered to have taken half of it. But by the time Gao Shun's men in the Espionage Division led the way to the Yuan army's military camp, Yuan Jun was already ready and began to march towards the north gate.

As a result, a scuffle is inevitable. The streets are not wide, the troops are quite limited, and the deployment of troops is more dense, and such a military formation determines that the power of crossbowmen can be raised to a higher level. Don't look at Gao Shun's only a thousand crossbowmen, but here, I don't know how many people are killed in one round of shooting, and the morale of Yuan's army can be imagined.

The trial who was still going to the north gate naturally didn't know about these things, and after encountering Cao Jun, the trial gave orders again and again, and the whole army attacked. After all, there are not many Cao Jun in the eyes of the judge at this time, and a quick kill can quickly recover the north gate. Therefore, the trial in the formation shouted repeatedly, asking the soldiers to quickly clear the enemy army, so that they could kill the north gate and kill Gao Ye, and for a time Yuan Shang and his subordinates all shouted like this.

The trial and match shouted several times in a row, and Yuan Jun saw that Cao Jun had few soldiers, and his morale was even higher. At this moment, I heard a voice shouting coldly: "Don't be so troublesome, Gao Mingxi is here, who dares to take my life!" ”
