Liu Xuan led the army to the county seat of Pingyuan, and the army was stationed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The military camp is only five miles away from the city.

Soon after the camp was established, Liu Xuan took Guo Jia and Jia Xu to the nearest high ground from the camp and condescendingly looked at the county seat of Pingyuan. Today's Pingyuan county can be said to be an isolated city.

Liu Xuan held the telescope and looked down condescendingly. After reading it, Liu Xuan handed over the telescope to Guo Jia, and after Guo Jia finished reading it, he handed it to Jia Xu.

After the three of them saw it, their expressions were quite solemn.

The arming of the county is quite extraordinary.

It is not an easy task to break through the cities of Pingyuan County.

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, the county seat not only has a moat, but also an urn city. For this alone, it is not easy to storm Pingyuan County. ā€

"Looking down through the telescope, you can clearly see the armament on the castle tower."

"The four gates of the county seat are far apart, but the soldiers are well arranged to support each other. In addition, the east and north gates of the county town are flat and there is no cover, so it is not easy to attack with the help of cover. ā€

Jia Xu's expression was solemn and said: "According to the news sent back by the spies, Liu Bei's prestige is very high, and the people are very supportive. If Liu Bei has a foundation of Baixin, if he wants to storm the county seat, I am afraid it will take some effort. ā€

Guo Jia nodded and said, "The last time I fought against Liu Bei, Liu Bei was very rough in arranging the troops. This time, it is precise and delicate, well-organized, and there is a big difference between before and after. I think there are capable people around Liu Bei, but looking at Liu Bei's side, there have been no powerful strategists, so I conclude that Yuan Shao arranged strategists to assist Liu Bei. ā€

I have to say that the subtleties are true.

Guo Jia made a reasonable guess from the deployment of the city and the arrangement of the soldiers.

Jia Xu said: "I will inquire about Liu Bei's situation as soon as possible." ā€

Liu Xuan glanced at the county seat and said in a deep voice: "We already know the general situation of the county seat. Let's go, let's go back to camp first. When we got back to camp, we thought about how to fight this battle. ā€

"Yes!"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu responded in unison.

The three of them went down the mountain, and as soon as they returned to the camp, Shi A hurriedly came: "Your Highness, Guan Yu wants to see you." ā€

Liu Xuan said: "Please come to my tent." ā€

"Yes!"

Shi Adeling, turned around and went down to arrange.

Liu Xuan looked at Jia Xu and Guo Jia and said, "When you arrive at my tent, wait inside first." ā€

"Yes!"

When the two of them heard this, they both understood what Liu Xuan meant.

This was done to save Guan Yu's face.

As soon as Liu Xuan returned to the camp tent, Guan Yu came. He entered the tent, clenched his fists and said, "I have seen Your Highness." ā€

"No need to be polite, sit!" Liu Xuan waved his hand to let Guan Yu sit down, and then asked straight to the point: "Yun Chang is looking for me, is there anything important?" ā€

Guan Yu's face had a slightly embarrassed expression.

Facing Liu Xuan, Guan Yu was a little apprehensive.

After all, there is a request for people!

Guan Yu took a deep breath and said, "A certain family came to ask His Highness to open the net and give Liu Bei a way out." At the very least, spare his life. "Liu Bei garrisoned Pingyuan County, Guan Yu heard what the soldiers said. Regarding the battle between Liu Bei and Liu Xuan, Guan Yu was not optimistic about Liu Bei.

In terms of troops, Liu Bei has no troops.

In terms of talents, Liu Bei has no talents.

In terms of the combat power of soldiers, Liu Bei is even less than that.

In Guan Yu's opinion, Liu Bei will be defeated.

Liu Xuan stared at Guan Yu with a calm look in his eyes. It was precisely this calm look in his eyes that made Guan Yu feel uncomfortable, as if a steel needle was pierced on his body. Guan Yu gritted his teeth, lifted his robe and knelt down, and said: "A certain family only asks His Highness to surround Liu Bei's life, and a certain family is willing to serve His Highness." ā€

Liu Xuan asked, "Yun Chang, is it worth it?" ā€

'Is it worth it?' Guan Yu's body trembled.

yes, is it worth it?

Guan Yu thought for a moment, looked firm, and replied: "Liu Bei has the grace of knowing a certain family, and there is even more brotherhood, whether it is worth it or not, a certain family must do this." A certain family begged His Royal Highness to open the net and spare Liu Bei's life. Since then, a certain family has served His Royal Highness, and he has no regrets about life and death. ā€

Liu Xuan pursed a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "At this time, do you still claim to be a certain family?" ā€

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a look of ecstasy. He knocked on the ground with his head and said gratefully: "Humble Guan Yu, please see Your Highness." ā€

In fact, Guan Yu was also quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan readily agreed.

Liu Xuan said slowly: "It is impossible to stop attacking the city, but this king has taken the county seat, if Liu Bei escapes, this king will let him leave." If Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are captured alive, the king will release them again. ā€

Guan Yu clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness Xie." ā€

Liu Xuan said: "You have killed the enemy on the battlefield and made meritorious contributions, which is the greatest thank you to this king." ā€

"Yes, the humble post will live up to His Highness's high expectations." Guan Yu said: "Retire from your humble position!" ā€

Liu Xuan bowed his head, and Guan Yu turned around and retreated.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu walked out, Guo Jia had a bright smile on his face, and said, "Yuan Shao left Liu Bei to garrison Pingyuan County, but instead gave His Highness a chance. Guan Yu was unwilling before, but he owed His Highness such a great favor this time, and he gradually let go of Liu Beihui. Even if he misses it in his heart, he will stand by His Highness's side. This game has not started, and His Highness has already won a game. ā€

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "It's all Yuan Shao's good cooperation." ā€

Immediately, Liu Xuan sent someone to call Tai Shici and Xu Huang.

Everyone gathered, and Liu Xuan said: "The plain county town is strong, and if it is attacked, it will consume countless troops, and it may not be able to take it." In this battle, I am afraid that I will have to find another way. ā€

When everyone heard this, they all had a deep look on their faces.

After a while, Jia Xu said: "The old man thinks that there are three things to do before deciding on a plan to break the city. ā€

Liu Xuan said: "Mr. Wenhe, please speak." ā€

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin and said slowly: "First, take the general policy of 'encircling three ques and one, leaving a way to live'. Our army surrounded the west, north and south gates of the county, leaving the east gate as a way of survival. In fact, the East Gate leads to Luoyin County and even Jinan, which is our hinterland. If Liu Bei withdraws from the east gate, he will fall into an ambush instead. ā€

"Second, send an army to station at the checkpoint leading from Jizhou to the Plains Country to prevent Yuan Shao from setting up another name and arranging soldiers to pretend to be bandits and others to come to support."

"Third, let people spread rumors and cause trouble in the city, and then send soldiers to shout outside the city, and even throw letters to persuade the soldiers to surrender. The most direct way to shake the people is to pay taxes. His Royal Highness had an example of exemption from taxation before, and this time, he said that King Jing would not pay grain when he came, and as long as he submitted to His Highness, he would be exempted from taxation. If the people's hearts are shaken, Liu Bei's military heart will be shaken. ā€

Jia Xu looked confident and said: "The three-pronged approach is enough to give Liu Bei a headache for a while, and it will damage his military morale. It will be much easier for us to act next. ā€

When Liu Xuan heard this, there was a look of approval in his eyes.

Immediately, Liu Xuan instructed Tai Shici to send a team of soldiers to the checkpoint to be stationed to prevent a sneak attack. He also asked Xu Huang to arrange a large army and arrange the formation according to the plan of encircling three queyi.

In terms of shaking the hearts of the army, one is Jia Xu's brocade guard, and the other is to let the soldiers act.

Under this policy, Liu Xuan's army moved quickly.
