Zhang Yan and Tian Jing led 30,000 soldiers and horses to surround Julu, but they besieged but did not attack. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just ordered people to make a noise under the city every day, beating drums and scolding everything.

The guards in the city, Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, strictly ordered the generals under their command to hold out, and they only hoped that Yuan Shao, who was in Youzhou, could send troops to help as soon as possible. However, the Montenegrin army blocked the news from far and near, and the news in the city could not be delivered, and the news from outside the city could not be delivered, but the two people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

On this day, it was a foggy day, and Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang did not dare to slack off and let people strictly defend themselves. On the tower of the city, they saw the Montenegrin army under the city coming and going, carrying goods, and they didn't know what their idea was.

After a while, I suddenly saw a fire under the city, and a huge fire was burning all over the world, which scared Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, and I don't know what tricks the Black Mountain Army used. If it is said that the fire is burned, it is not so far from the city wall that the fire is lit, and the place where the fire started is a stone's throw away. If you want to take the smoke city, but it also depends on the direction of the wind, and there is no fire on all sides.

Just when the people in the city were confused, Zhang Yan and Tian Jing outside the city looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Yan said, "The right firewood outside the city, there should be no problem burning it for a day and a night." I don't know if I can fool those Jizhou spies. ”

Tian Jing thought for a while and said, "Instead of letting others guess, it's better for us to take the initiative." Early tomorrow morning, Rang Ke sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yangshi County all the way north, and to attack Tangyang County all the way east. The giant deer can't hold it back, not to mention this small county town, let them surrender quickly. Otherwise, when the army arrives, the jade will be burned! ”

Zhang Yan must be overjoyed, "Okay, just do it according to the will of the general Zhengbei, and then Yuan Shao of Youzhou will believe it, and if you don't believe it, you will have to believe it." ”

In Youzhou, in the joint venture outside Yijing City, Yuan Shao was also taken aback when he got the news that the Black Mountain Army had launched a large-scale attack on Julu. Yuan Shao thought to himself: Since the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Yellow Turban last year, most of them have been wiped out in shock, and even some small groups of bandits have already flowed outside Jizhou. Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army had no arm to help and had been hiding in the Taihang Mountains. At that time, Lu Bu came to vote and asked him to exterminate the Yan thief, but who knew that Lu Bu was born against the bones, but led the troops to occupy Cao Cao's Yanzhou. This Zhang Yan did not send troops to exterminate it, who would have thought that he would dare to send troops to Julu. I really don't know how many benefits this Gongsun Chan promised Zhang Yan to make him work so hard.

Yuan Shao encountered a difficult matter, so he had to convene the generals to discuss the matter. Now in the big camp outside the city of Yijing, Wenchen has a trial and match, and the Hebei Siting Zhu Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Ran among the military generals are all there.

After hearing what Yuan Shao said, the trial was shocked at first, but after thinking about it, he felt strange: "Lord, this matter is strange." Although Zhang Yan of Montenegro has always been an enemy of my Jizhou, but we are officials, they are bandits, we have never sent troops to encircle and suppress him, he went out to attack our county, this is also strange. Although the Black Mountain thieves claim to be 100,000, but most of them are old and weak, women and children, less than half of the soldiers who can fight, but he dares to go out to besiege the giant deer, if once the army is defeated, will not be satisfied with the loss of the plate? Zhang Yan is not a stupid person, how to do such an unwise thing, this is also strange. Third, when our soldiers besieged Yijing, we once killed a cavalry of two or three thousand, and they must have gone to ask for help, but I don't know if they went to Montenegro. Now I haven't seen that man come back, but I can see Zhang Yan's men and horses besieging Julu, could it be that this Zhang Yan still knows the plan to besiege Wei and save Zhao? ”

Yuan Shao was silent when he heard this, and the question he asked was exactly what he was thinking, but he didn't know the answer.

Yan Liang next to him said, "My lord, I wanted to eliminate this Yan thief earlier, but he hid in the mountains and never had a chance. Since he dares to send troops today, no matter what he is for, I, Yan Liang, only need 10,000 horses and horses to guarantee that he will kill Zhang Yan without leaving a single piece of armor. Lord, please give the order, I will lead the troops south to support Julu, and when the time comes, I will definitely bring Zhang Yan's head back to the lord.

As soon as Yan Liang's words were finished, Feng Ji spoke on the other side: "The lord can't, this Zhang Yan's dispatch of troops this time must be in response to Gongsun Zhan's strategy." Our 100,000 troops are trapped in Yijing, and the most important thing at present is to break the Yijing City Pool, kill Gongsun Zhan, and quickly stabilize the situation in Youzhou. If you send troops to support Julu, you will only be afraid that it will not help if there are fewer people sent, but they will be swallowed by Zhang Yan one by one; But if there are too many people, it will inevitably affect the battle situation in Youzhou. The minister thought that the giant deer was just a delicate disease, and he only needed to wait for the generals in the city to wait for help. At that time, as long as Yijing City is broken, Zhang Yan will definitely retreat. ”

Yuan Shao felt that there was some truth when he heard this, but he couldn't believe that it must be so, so he asked, "What if the enemy breaks the giant deer in these days?" ”

Feng Ji said, "The Black Mountain Army has no experience in attacking cities, and there are no special tools for attacking cities, as long as Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang do not mess up their positions, then this giant deer must be safe." ”

As he was talking, he heard a soldier from outside the door rush to report, "Lord Qiqi, something is wrong." The giant deer, the giant deer is lost. When this sentence was shouted, the people in the tent were shocked. This Yan came out of Montenegro, and it was only a few days, how did he take the giant deer and go away at once. ”

Yuan Shaoran asked the person who came, "Where did you get the news, tell me the details quickly." ”

The people who came didn't know much about the situation of Julu, but they knew that there was a fire in Julu City, and it didn't mean to extinguish it for a day and a night, and several surrounding counties had already encountered the looting of the Montenegrin army, and they heard that the Montenegrin army had conquered Julu. So far, not a single soldier has escaped from this giant deer city, and everyone doesn't know what happened in the giant deer city. The person who came had no choice but to tell the truth what he knew.

Yuan Shao and the others frowned after hearing this. This giant deer city was breached in just a few days, which is indeed unreasonable. However, if it has not been breached, it seems that it is not clear, and how can the fire in the city be explained.

At this time, Feng Ji said, "My lord, I don't think the giant deer has been lost yet, because once the giant deer is lost, then there will always be some remnants of the army." But now, not a single soldier from the city has escaped, which is strange. Could it be that Zhang Yan really has the strength to make the whole army of Julu soldiers and horses annihilated? Even if they really captured Julu, they should wish we knew the news, so that they could achieve the goal of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. But now the news is tightly sealed around the giant deer, as if he is afraid that we will know the true situation of the giant deer. So I judged that the giant deer was not lost, but it was just a trick used by the Montenegrin army to block the news. ”

As soon as Feng Ji's words came out, the judge also had an idea in his heart, "Lord, what Feng Ji Shicai said should be a more reasonable explanation." But at the moment our main problem is how to capture Yijing, no matter what happens to the giant deer, it is impossible for us to change this strategy. Since that's the case, then we don't care about it and go all out to attack Yi Jing. Once Yijing is captured, the entire Youzhou is at your fingertips. When the time comes, we will return to Jizhou, Zhang Yan will retreat, if he does not retreat, then when our army arrives, his soldiers and horses will not return. ”

Yuan Shao listened and said: "Although this will be the case, but this Yijing is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so you can have a strategy to break the city quickly." ”

Everyone looked at each other and said that it was indeed not possible to break through Yi Jing in ten days and half a month. At this time, Zhang He, who had been silent, suddenly asked beside him, "The people who ran out of the encirclement last time were Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servants?" ”

Gao Ran didn't hold the camp last time, let the Youzhou soldiers and horses rush out of his camp, and was reprimanded by Yuan Shao, and today he saw Zhang He asking, and said a little unpleasantly, "Last time, those cavalry rushed out of my western military formation, and I think that its white-clothed and white horses should be white horses." ”

Zhang He said, "Have you ever seen the banner of the main general? ”

Gao Ran didn't know why, so he had to say, "If you remember correctly, the word Gongsun is written on the flag." ”

Zhang He then said, "Lord, I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible." On that day, Gongsun Chan ordered people to fight out of the siege to find helpers, and the important generals who were sent must be able to represent him. And all the white horses that broke out of the siege that day were the cavalry of the White Horse Yicong, and according to our information, Gongsun Chan had handed over the White Horse Yicong to his son Gongsun Xu to command. And the banner that Gao Ran said just now is also Gongsun, which is just right. Gongsun continued to invite Zhang Yan out of the mountain, and Zhang Yan played the trick of encircling Wei to save Zhao in Julu, but he was afraid that Gongsun continued to bring troops back to help, which was the time of these few days. We can make a plan and let people pretend to be reinforcements to enter the siege, and trick that Gongsun Chan out of the city to join us. When the time comes, we will ambush the elite soldiers and capture Nagongsun Chan in the battle. ”

Yuan Shao was also a little moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt that this matter was too dangerous.

After listening to the trial, he said, "Zhang He's plan is very good, but it is difficult to achieve it in some places. For example, how Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Chan transmitted the message. If reinforcements arrive, will Gongsun Chan go out of the city in person? Even if it is an ambush, it can only kill thousands of enemies who go out of the city to meet the battle, if you can't catch Gongsun Zhan, how can you break through Yijing? ”

Zhang He said, "What Mr. Zhengnan said, I don't have a good countermeasure, and this still needs everyone's brainstorming." ”

Feng Ji thought for a while and said, "There is a general from Youzhou in our army, and he naturally knows what is going on in Gongsun Zhan's army, so why don't you call and ask." ”

Yuan Shao then remembered that the royal gate surrendered last year, and now he is only a middle-level general in the army, so he sent his own soldiers to change the royal gate. This royal gate was forced to surrender to Jizhou after last year's defeat, and now it is very unwilling. Although he regretted surrendering a little in his heart, it was important to save his life at that time, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he has to continue to serve Yuan Shao. When he entered the tent and saw Yuan Shao, Wang Men stood aside.

The trial did not specify the purpose, but only asked Wang Men if he knew how to give orders in the Youzhou army, and Wang Men naturally told the truth what he knew. The trial also asked Gongsun Xu how his prestige in the Youzhou Army was, and how Gongsun Zhan treated Gongsun Xu. In this regard, the royal family is clear that Gongsun Chan has long regarded Gongsun Xu as his heir, although Gongsun Chan is mean and unkind to others, he cares for Gongsun Xu. The trial seemed to be casual and asked again, the light banner of the White Horse Yicong can be different from other troops in Youzhou. The king told him what he knew.

After asking, Yuan Shao asked Wang Men to withdraw. The judge looked at the crowd and said, "This is done." I hope that the lord will make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Yuan Shao was also overjoyed, so he made detailed arrangements with everyone for this plan to lure the enemy.
