Liu Shun said: "My lord, my subordinates have already ordered the scouts to investigate the terrain around Langling, in the west of Langling, there is a valley, although the baggage carts can't pass, but horses, infantry, etc. can pass through, Liu Biao may send troops to attack from here!" ”

Feng Yao frowned slightly, if this valley sent troops to ambush, it could indeed repel the enemy soldiers who came to help, but it didn't have much effect on breaking through Langling! If you don't send troops to ambush, after the enemy increases the number of troops, the number of defenders of Langling City will increase, which is even more unfavorable for attacking the city!

"In this way, our army secretly sent troops to ambush in the mountains, if the enemy has many reinforcements and cannot be defeated, then after more than half of it, raid its rear army, burn its grain and grass, and if the enemy has few reinforcements, directly annihilate it! In addition, send more scouts first, and find out whether Liu Biao has sent reinforcements and the details of the reinforcements! Feng Yao said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Xu Chu heard this, he immediately asked for his life: "Lord, the tiger guard is familiar with the mountain road, and his subordinates are willing to lead the tiger guard to lead the troops to ambush!" ”

Feng Yao nodded and said, "Okay!" Zhongkang, you quickly go and arrange the ambush, if there is any other situation, report it immediately! ”

"Yes!" Xu Chu said loudly.

"Liu Shun, you will immediately send people to infiltrate Xiangyang City and find out Liu Biao's intentions!" Feng Yao said.

Liu Shun took the order.

Feng Yao then ordered each general to carry out the order.

In the afternoon, Feng Yao ordered the miscellaneous servants to set up more tents, blocked the entrance to the tunnel, and began to dig the tunnel.

The army brought trees from afar and built siege equipment.

The day passed quickly.

The next day, the tunnel was almost halfway dug, and it was less than a hundred feet close to the city wall. The wood needed for the equipment had basically been transported, and Feng Yao had built a huge city truck first. The city truck can accommodate 100 people at the same time, and the roof used as a protective roof is all connected with wet wood. Moreover, the wet wood was covered with the raw skins of cattle and horses, which was not only fireproof but also could prevent the boiling oil and water from splashing directly on the besieging soldiers.

In the afternoon, when Feng Yao was about to ask Dai Ling to try first, whether he could use this car to break through the city gate, Liu Shun came to report and captured an unknown suspicious person, who said that he wanted to see Feng Yao on important matters.

Feng Yao was stunned, and immediately thought that this might be someone sent by Yuan Ping or Liang Teng. He retreated left and right, leaving only Yang Wu, Dai Ling, and Xu Shu by his side.

Liu obeyed the order to bring the person in, and after carefully searching the whole body, he was allowed to enter the account.

The person who came was a man of about thirty years old with an extremely ordinary appearance, without any features, belonging to the type that can forget what he looks like in the blink of an eye, the man did not say his name, and when he saw Feng Yao, he immediately knelt on the ground. His demeanor was extremely respectful, and he said: "Xiangyang Liu Biao has sent two reinforcements, and the general Wen Ping led 20,000 troops to attack Runan from the direction of Yingchuan. A total of 3,000 soldiers from the direction of Biyang, including Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning, supported Langling! ”

Liu Shun and the others were shocked when they heard this.

"Who are you? Is this message a scam? Liu Shun asked the man urgently.

Feng Yao had already guessed that this man must be a secret agent he had secretly ordered Yuan Ping to cultivate, and he was surprised and inquired about Liu Shun. Feng Yao didn't stop it, but wanted to take this opportunity to see the man's reaction.

"Peaceful." The man only said two words lightly and said no more.

Liu Shun wanted to ask again. Feng Yao opened his mouth and said, "This is my own person, let him leave the barracks." Just leave on your own! ”

"My lord?" Liu Shun was a little surprised, but after glancing at Feng Yao's eyes, he immediately nodded and said, "Obey, lord!" ”

"Liu Shun, you will come to me later in this matter!" Feng Yao said again.

This man reported himself to be peaceful, and it should be Huang Yi's subordinates!

Feng Yao didn't want to be fair about the underground intelligence organization, but Liu Shun was the leader of the scouts, and it was time for Liu Shun to know a little bit of the inside story, which would also be conducive to cooperation in some aspects.

Liu Shun led the man to retreat, and Xu Shu immediately said: "Lord, Wen Zhongye is quite famous in the Nanyang area, and he is both wise and brave, not to be underestimated!" ”

Feng Yao nodded, in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "Our army will add another general!" ”

All the generals thought that Feng Yao was talking about Wen Ping, and asked in surprise: "Lord! Wen Zhongye has a deep foundation in the Nanyang area, if he can't capture Nanyang, I'm afraid that Wen Zhongye won't come to surrender, right? ”

"Hehe, I'm talking about Gan Ning Gan Xingba!" Feng Yaodao.

Yang Wu asked in surprise: "Lord, I heard that Gan Ning has a very bad reputation, when he was young, he was called a Jinfan thief, he often robbed passing ships in the river, and later rebelled in Bashu, and after the defeat, he robbed the rich in Nanyang, if this person comes to our army, I am afraid that Runan will suffer!" ”

Dai Ling also nodded and said: "Gan Ning's hands are only a few hundred people, except for notoriety, there is no other reputation, why hasn't the lord met yet, just hearing his name, he is so sure of Gan Ning's person?" ”

Although Xu Shu didn't speak, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Feng Yao ordered everyone to sit down, of course he couldn't tell the truth to everyone, so while everyone was pouring wine and drinking, he thought of his words, raised his wine glass, and after drinking with Yang Wu, Dai Ling, and Xu Shu, he said: "First of all, let's analyze Gan Ning!" ”

Everyone nodded and stared at Feng Yao, listening carefully to what Feng Yao said.

"Gan Ning's family is not wealthy, but when he was more than ten years old, he was able to lead a group of subordinates to run rampant in Jiangbiao, which is enough to prove that Gan Ning is not only brave in martial arts, but also resourceful, otherwise it would be impossible for even the government to subdue him! In the end, he had to be recruited as a county official! ”

But why did Gan Ning rebel again, the main reason is Liu Biao's promise to him, Gan Ning is a righteous person who is light on money! Although he plundered, he did the things of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he had no money left in his hands, how could a small official feed the brothers who followed him? Coupled with his previous reputation, he was an official on the surface in Yizhou, but in fact, he would definitely be secretly suppressed, in this case, it is not surprising that Gan Ning rebelled out of Yizhou! Feng Yao said.

Hearing this, Yang Wu nodded and said, "Lord, what you said is very reasonable, I think that at the beginning, when I followed Brother Ziheng, it was similar to this situation!" ”

Feng Yao said again: "If Gan Ning's rebellion succeeds, of course, he will be reused by Liu Biao, but Gan Ning is defeated, such a general with a bad reputation and no use value, how can Liu Biao rest assured that he is regarded as a confidant?" But because of the previous promises, it is not easy to do that kind of thing, so you can only let Gan Ning and others fend for themselves! ”

"Gan Ning has 800 athletes under him, and he doesn't have enough money and food to feed, so of course he can only rob the rich in the Nanyang area!"

"Yes!! The lord is so right! Dai Ling said loudly.

Feng Yao smiled and asked, "Is Gan Ning only robbing the rich?" Is it true that if someone is kind to him and gives him money and food, he will be kind to another person and will not touch that person? ”

"Hmmm! It seems that this is indeed the case! From this point of view, Gan Ning not only attaches great importance to righteousness, but also knows how to repay his kindness! What they do is nothing more than robbing the rich and helping the poor! It seems that I have been mistaken by the rumors! At this time, Xu Shu also showed a look of importance in his eyes and nodded.

Feng Yao said: "What the military advisor said is extremely correct! Although Gan Ning is rough and killing, he knows righteousness and gratitude, if he regards him as a brother, he will regard us as a brother! On the other hand, there are only a few hundred people under his command, and no one is invincible everywhere he goes, and he must be extremely brave! If our army can get the help of this person, it will not be difficult to break Jingzhou! (To be continued.) )
