Chapter 515: Plotting the Inner City
Seeing Zhao Fei, Yuan Shao's expression was even more overjoyed, he took Yi Jing so easily, which was definitely a great encouragement to Yuan Jun, whose morale was already low, and after taking the towering city wall of Yi Jingcheng, the next thing was very simple.
Zhao Fei naturally knew that Yuan Shao was very happy, after all, he could see the reason from his face. However, Yuan Shao was very happy, but Zhao Fei was not very happy, after all, his promise was not fulfilled.
He promised the soldiers that as long as he took Yijing City, then he would lead the soldiers under his command to return to the court. But now that Yijing City has been taken, who would have thought that Gongsun Chan would still have a hand, and he would actually leave an inner city.
Zhao Fei thought about it, and suddenly thought of some things, some things that made him stunned. He suddenly thought that in the history of the Battle of Yijing, Gongsun Zan was burned to death in the inner city of Yijing City.
At that time, Yuan Shao's strategy was to secretly dig out several tunnels, but this was not the ultimate reason for Yuan Shao's victory. The reason for the victory was because Yuan Shao gave Gongsun Zhan a plan.
Gongsun Chan ordered someone to ask Zhang Yan for help, but this news was intercepted by Yuan Shao, and it was precisely because of the interception of this news that Yuan Shao gave Gongsun Chan a plan. He ordered someone to pretend to use Zhang Yan's reinforcements to lure Gongsun Chan out of the city, and then adulterously committed adultery with Gongsun Zhan's main army, and Gongsun Chan was devastated in the first battle.
Seeing that the future was bleak, Gongsun Chan finally chose to set himself on fire, and finally burned to death in the high-rise building he built.
At this time, Zhao Fei was somewhat suspicious in his heart, he wanted to know if Gongsun Zhan would follow the course of history. You must know that in the real history, I didn't see the Cao army in the Battle of Yijing at all, and now it is the Cao army that captures Yijing City, and Yuan Shao just plays a role in helping.
This has a very different relationship with history, so Zhao Fei is not sure whether Gongsun Chan will still act like this. If Gongsun Chan really did this, he would definitely be able to take the inner city easily.
Moreover, even if Gongsun Chan didn't do this, he could still use the strategy used by Yuan Jun to dig a few tunnels to sneak attack Gongsun Chan. Either of the two was a surprise and easily won Yijing City.
When it was not certain what Gongsun Chan would do, Zhao Fei still decided to use the safest way to do it, that is, to dig a tunnel. Let the soldiers raid the inner city through the tunnel, which can definitely reduce casualties and take the inner city of Yijing City with the smallest price.
informed Yuan Shao of his thoughts, and Yuan Shao naturally accepted them happily. So quickly took down Yi Jingcheng, which he had been unable to conquer for a long time, Yuan Shao was obedient to Zhao Fei at this time, and at this time, he became more and more concerned about recruiting Zhao Fei.
Hearing Zhao Fei's plan, Yuan Shao asked himself if he could act. As for Cao Jun, Yuan Shao didn't dare to bother too much at this time, not just digging tunnels, he could also do it very well, so he didn't need Cao Jun to make a move at all.
ordered someone to find a hidden place, and Yuan Shao began to arrange for soldiers to dig tunnels. Although digging a tunnel is a very simple task, it is not an easy task. The tunnel must not only be very secretive, so that it will not be easily discovered by Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, but also need to be wide and strong, otherwise how can it be used for surprise attacks.
Yuan Shao ordered people to dig tunnels, and Zhao Fei ordered Cao Jun's soldiers to rest and recuperate, although yesterday's battle was not a high-intensity battle for Cao Jun, but after all, it was not for himself, just rest if he could.
As soon as Zhao Fei returned to his tent, Xu Huang quickly appeared in front of him. He looked at Xu Huang, who had a calm face, and then asked, "Gongming, why are you here?" ”
"Returning to my lordship, when I was inspecting Yi Jingcheng on the orders of my lord, I caught a sneaky person, and I suspected that this person was Gongsun Zhan's cronies, so I stepped forward to interrogate. Unexpectedly, when this person saw my army investigating, he actually turned around and ran. I expected this person to have a ghost, so I went up to capture him, but I didn't expect it to happen. Xu Huang said in a deep voice, and then he reached out and took out a roll of cotton cloth in his arms and put it in front of Zhao Fei.
Zhao Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then he took the cotton cloth handed over by Xu Huang, and then looked at it in detail. After reading it, Zhao Fei's face was a little weird, it was obvious that history had not deceived him, and Gongsun Zhan really asked Zhang Yan for help.
With this news, the rest is simple. Using Gongsun Zhan's letter of request for help, Zhao Fei could take this opportunity to lure Gongsun Chan out of the city to break through. And taking advantage of this opportunity, he can surround his breakthrough force with a large army and destroy Gongsun Zhan's living force.
As long as Gongsun Zhan's living force is eliminated, then he can only perish all the way. After all, Gongsun Chan has no way out, and if he is really defeated again, then he can only set himself on fire.
Yuan Shao was ordering people to dig tunnels in full swing, and Zhao Fei appeared in front of him with a cotton cloth. For Zhao Fei who suddenly appeared in front of him, Yuan Shao was a little puzzled, Zhao Fei didn't just specify the strategy of how to conquer Gongsun Zhan, and at this time, the tunnel had not yet been dug, how could he appear in front of him.
"Pengju, didn't you just ask me to dig a tunnel, have you changed your mind now?" Yuan Shao asked suspiciously.
Zhao Fei nodded, and then handed the cotton cloth in his hand to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao took the cotton cloth in Zhao Fei's hand with a slightly puzzled expression, then looked up and down a few times, and then showed a hint of joy.
Holding the cotton cloth in his hand, Yuan Shao said with a hint of excitement: "Pengju, is the news accurate?" Yuan Shao was very excited, it was obvious that he could see the fighter in this. If the cotton cloth in Zhao Fei's hand was real, then he could eliminate Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop.
"This news was handed over by one of my generals. Presumably it won't be bad. Zhao Fei nodded and said: "You know, Gongsun Zan has reached the time when he runs out of ammunition and food, and it is difficult for him to have the strength to break through now." Therefore, he is bound to use external forces, and only by attacking from front to back can Gongsun Chan take this opportunity to escape from the encirclement of our army, so this news is credible. ”
"Moreover, I can't think of why Gongsun Chan would make up such a message to deceive us and others." Zhao Fei continued: "What Gongsun Chan can do now is either stick to the rescue or break through, and there is no other choice. ”
Of course, Gongsun Chan may also leave quietly, but with Gongsun Chan's character, he will never do this. Gongsun Chan is definitely a strong character, he may die because of failure, and he will not run away because of failure. Moreover, the battle was lost, and Gongsun Chan was able to escape there again. ”
Zhao Fei's series of words made Yuan Shao agree very much, after fighting against Gongsun Chan for so long, he naturally knew what kind of person Gongsun Chan was. So he still agrees with Zhao Fei's analysis of Gongsun Zhan.
"Then according to Pengju, I'll give it a try?" Yuan Shao asked with a hint of inquiry, obviously Yuan Shao was already very convinced of Zhao Fei at this time, so he wanted to ask Zhao Fei's opinion when doing things.
Zhao Fei nodded, and then said: "Now that our army is strong and Gongsun Chan is weak, why not give it a try, anyway, our army has no losses, after all, it is Gongsun Chan who broke through." ”
After receiving Zhao Fei's affirmative reply, Yuan Shao began to prepare for this matter. If Gongsun Chan can send someone out, it proves that he must have mastered this secret passage that can freely enter and exit the inner city. Even if this plan fails, if you can find this secret passage, it will definitely be of great help to you in conquering Yijing.
With this idea, Yuan Shao began to get busy again. On the one hand, he ordered the men to continue digging the tunnel, while on the other hand, Paran searched for this secret passage to the inner city. Originally, I wanted to get any clues from the mouth of the man captured by Cao Jun, but before he could be interrogated, the man had already committed suicide.
If there is no clue, then you can only rely on the method of finding a needle in a haystack, hoping to find this secret passage.
Zhao Fei still had a way, he first found the place where the person was captured, and then began to set up a net for the origin in turn. Eventually, the effort paid off, and less than 500 meters from the place where the man was captured, a soldier came with the news that they had found the entrance to the secret passage.
After getting the news, Zhao Fei nodded secretly. However, although he found the entrance to the secret passage, he did not dare to rashly order someone to explore it. This secret passage is so secret, this is definitely used by Gongsun Chan to escape, so for this secret passage, Gongsun Chan will definitely be heavily guarded.
You must know that this is a double-edged sword, he can bring hope of escape to Gongsun Zhan, or he can set himself on fire, and finally bring unimaginable terrible consequences to himself, so Gongsun Chan will naturally defend very tightly and will not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of.
found the entrance to the secret passage, and the content written in the cotton cloth became more real, which also made Yuan Shao hopeful. If the things in the secret letter are true, then he will be able to take this opportunity to take the inner city.
Yuan Jun was well prepared, while Gongsun Zhan in the inner city was suffering. Know that you are trapped on an island at this time, and if there is no solution, there is only destruction.
Gongsun Chan is not afraid of death, on the contrary, he can face death very calmly. However, now he still has the strength to fight, so he wants to take this opportunity to fight for his survival again, if he can do it, then he has no intention of living.
At this time, he was looking forward to reinforcements, hoping that Yuan Jun would be able to even arrive, if the reinforcements could really arrive, then he would definitely fight hard.
