That night, Zhang Zai ordered more than 10,000 straw men to be erected in the camp overnight, disturbing Zhang Yang's judgment and not letting him know that he had divided his troops, but Ran Min and Zhang Liao led their troops and quietly left the camp under the cover of night.

Zhang Liao's troops were all cavalry, and soon they were gone, and the soldiers and horses led by Ran Min needed to tackle key problems, all of them were infantry, and the speed was slower.

And what Zhang Zai has to do next is still to attack the city every day, but the main thing is to confuse Zhang Yang, and the feint attack?

Finally before dawn, Ran Min rushed to Sheep's Head Mountain, and after a night's journey, Ran Min instructed his soldiers to camp at the foot of the mountain and rest for a day, and at the same time sent soldiers to look for hunters nearby, or people who were familiar with the nearby mountains and forests, as guides to guide the army.

Finally, in the evening, a soldier returned to the barracks with two men.

"General, these two are hunters from a nearby village, and they heard that the army needs a guide, so they came to help."

After one of the soldiers finished the introduction, the two hunters bowed and said, "The villain Zhang Xian (Liu Sheng) pays a visit to the general." ”

The soldiers under Zhang Zai's command often help the people to work. Therefore, the people under his jurisdiction are not afraid of soldiers, and seeing Ran Minfeng's army stationed here, although it is a little cramped, it is not uneasy.

Ran Min glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are you two familiar with this sheep's head mountain?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Zhang Xian replied: "General Hui, my family has lived here for generations, often going into the mountains to hunt, and I have also tumbled over the mountains to enter the party, this path is still very familiar." ”

After hearing this, Ran Min's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "Okay, the two of you will rest in the camp tonight, and lead the way tomorrow. ”

"No!"

At daybreak, the two men entered the mountains with thousands of troops.

The roads in the mountains were difficult to walk, and they had to climb over the mountains continuously, stopping and stopping along the way, and with the help of identifying the road, they only walked less than a third of the way in a day.

On the other hand, Zhang Liao and the others' itinerary was much faster, coupled with the chaotic management of the Sili area, no one dared to stop them wherever they passed along the way, Zhang Liao and the others were double horses, and the march of one day and one night soon arrived near Yangcheng County.

Yangcheng is located at the junction of Bingzhou and Sili, under the jurisdiction of Shangdang, and is the gateway to the south of Shangdang.

However, at this time, in order to resist Zhang Zai, Zhang Yang transferred most of his troops to the north, and at the gate of the city, in addition to a team of soldiers guarding, there were not many people on duty on the city wall.

But Zhang Liao didn't know the reality of the city, and they were overworked from the emergency march all the way, so they didn't dare to move, so Zhang Liao ordered the army to camp thirty miles outside the city, and at the same time sent scouts into the city to investigate the reality.

On the second day, the scouts sent by Zhang Liao came back and told Zhang Liao the news he had discovered.

Zhang Liao was overjoyed when he heard this, there were only 1,000 people guarding this city, and there were only 500 people at most in the front and back gates, so they could send people into the city first, and then control the city gate in one fell swoop.

Zhang Liao immediately ordered people to buy a few carts in the nearby villages, and then buy some grain, pretending to be farmers who went to the city to sell grain.

But the people have no surplus food at home, so they have no choice but to put sand and soil into bags and pretend to be food.

When everything was ready, Zhang Liao took a dozen people to push the cart and went to the city gate.

"Squeak squeak......"

Several small cars made an overwhelming noise along the way, as if they were about to break.

When he was about to reach the city gate, Zhang Liao looked at the dozen or so people around him, then gave them a look and continued to walk forward.

Such a voice naturally attracted the attention of the gatekeepers, and there were more than a dozen of them, all of them young men, even if the guards were lax, they would come to investigate.

"Wait!" Just when Zhang Liao and the others had just walked through the moat and wanted to continue to enter the city, they were really stopped.

The officers at the head of the group gathered a large number of people, told them to dress ordinary, and their clothes were patched, and asked with a frown: "Where are you from, and what are you doing in the city?" ”

Then he patted the bag on the car and asked, "What's in it?" ”

Zhang Liao gave them a slightly calm look, and then said with a smile while making a gesture: "Master Jun, we are the people of the nearby village, and we will go to the city to sell some grain. ”

"Hmph, you need so many people to sell food?" The officer squinted at Zhang Liao, raised his eyebrows, and said.

Zhang Liao still smiled, and then said: "Our village is a little far away from here, and now that it is not peaceful outside, I called a few more people, don't be surprised by the military master." ”

The officer pushed Zhang Liao away, then drew his saber and slashed it on the top grain bag, spilling wheat out of the bag.

The officer looked at it, and then said to the guard at the door, "Give me a careful examination." After saying that, he continued to hold the knife, trying to cut open the other bags.

Zhang Liao took advantage of their inattention, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and then slowly walked to the front of the car, stretched out his hands under the car, but said: "This military master, didn't I say it, it's just food." ”

The officer also ignored Zhang Liao, and slashed another bag of grain.

And the soldiers who received Zhang Liao's eyes also stopped the soldiers who wanted to check, and at the same time, some people reached under the car.

"What, do you want to rebel?" When the officer saw that his men were stopped, he shouted angrily.

Zhang Liao shook his head secretly, and then said to the officer: "Where is the military master, we are all serious people. ”

"Forgive me for not daring!" The officer glanced at Zhang Liao with disdain, and then said to a few soldiers guarding the door: "Call a few brothers and carry this grain to the big camp." ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly stopped the officer and said, "No, this is all the food we have worked hard for, and we still expect to rely on it to make a living." ”

At this time, the officer had already walked to the second car, and was about to use a knife to cut open the bag, when he heard Zhang Liao refuse, he kicked the cart and said: "Give shameless things, uncle, I want your food, I can afford you." ”

"Bang!"

A crisp clash of gold and iron sounded, but after the frame was kicked down, the short knife below fell out.

Zhang Liao immediately made a gesture of preparation, signaling everyone to prepare to fight, and then quietly took out his short knife.

The officer also heard the sound, and when he looked closely, a thing in the shape of a knife handle was revealed under the bag, and then he used his own knife to pierce the bag, and with a strong slash, the contents flowed out, and at the same time a short knife was exposed.

The officer saw the sand and knives in the bag. Immediately shouted: "Who are you!" ”

However, it was a cold blade that answered him.
