Gongsun Zhan stood on top of the inner city wall, watching the Cao army's army approaching the city, and breathed a sigh of relief, but then showed a helpless expression. The inner city was already his last resort, and Yi Jing had no way out. If the army besieges the city, then there is no way out of it.

Now, he only has two possibilities, one is to break through, and the other is to stick to the inner city and wait for help.

But having said that, where are his reinforcements, which makes Gongsun Chan a little unsure of what to do. Youzhou Yijing didn't have much combat power, so Gongsun Zhan didn't know where the reinforcements came from.

After thinking about it for a moment, Gongsun Chan made a decision in his heart. Youzhou really doesn't have the combat power to do it, but there is another person who can use it himself, and this person is Zhang Yan.

Although the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro defeated Zhang Yan and suffered heavy losses, there should still be a lot of combat power under his command that can be used, after all, the loss of Zhang Yan is only about half, so there is no problem for him to come out with tens of thousands of soldiers.

With tens of thousands of reinforcements to respond, he can still use this to break through the encirclement of Yuan's army and Cao's army and escape. Although surrounded by Cao Jun and Yuan's army, Gongsun Chan still has a secret passage for people to get out of the city, after all, when designing Yi Jingcheng, Gongsun Chan had already considered this consequence, so he would inevitably leave a way back for himself.

However, if he really uses this way to escape, then his reputation will be disgraced, so he would rather try his best to break through than escape from the inner city with the help of secret passages, so he would rather stay here and wait for help than escape.

arranged for his cronies to go out to Zhang Yan for help, while Gongsun Zhan continued to hold on to help. As long as you wait for reinforcements to arrive, you still have the confidence to break through.

The next day Qingming, Yuan Shao appeared in front of Du Chen with a smile on his face. It was clear that he was very happy that Cao's army had taken Yi Jing so quickly, and although Gongsun Chan still had the last layer of defense, he thought that Gongsun Chan would not be able to resist the advance of his army no matter what.

The walls of Yijing City are so high, and Cao Jun can conquer them in a very short time, how can that mere inner city be taken into account by Yuan Shao. In a few days, he would be able to conquer the inner city of Yijing, so Yuan Shao was naturally very happy. See Du Chen. Yuan Shao's expression was even more joyful, taking Yi Jing so lightly 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.

Du Chen 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 Du Chen was not very happy, after all, he made a promise and did not fulfill it.

I promised the soldiers that as long as I took Yijing City. Then he will lead his soldiers and divisions back to the court. But now that Yi Jingcheng has been taken, who would have thought that Gongsun Chan still had a hand, and he actually left an inner city.

Du Chen thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, something 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. It was because Yuan Shao gave Gongsun Zan a plan.

Gongsun Zan ordered someone to ask Zhang Yan for help, but the news was intercepted by Yuan Shao. And it was precisely because of the interception of this news that Yuan Shao gave Gongsun Zhan a plan. He ordered someone to lure Gongsun Chan out of the city under the pretense of Zhang Yan's reinforcements, and then annihilated Gongsun Zhan's main army, which made Gongsun Chan collapse in a 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, Du Chen was somewhat suspicious in his heart. He wanted to know if Gongsun Chan would follow the course of history. You must know that in the real history, I didn't see Cao Jun in the Battle of Yijing at all, and now it is Cao Jun who captures Yijing City. And Yuan Shao just played a role of assistance.

This has a very different relationship with history, so Du Chen 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 he was not sure what Gongsun Chan would do, Du Chen still decided to use the safest way to do it, which was to dig a tunnel. Let the soldiers attack the inner city through the guò tunnel, which can definitely reduce casualties and take the inner city of Yijing City at the lowest cost.

informed Yuan Shao of his thoughts, and Yuan Shao naturally accepted them happily. So quickly took down Yi Jingcheng, which he had been attacking for a long time, Yuan Shao could be said to be obedient to Du Chen at this time, and at this time, his thoughts about recruiting Du Chen became more and more serious.

Hearing Du Chen'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 thing, it is not something that can be done lightly. The tunnel must not only be very secretive, not to be 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 Du Chen 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 Du Chen returned to his tent, Xu Huang quickly appeared in front of him. Du Chen looked at Xu Huang, who had a calm face, and then asked, "Gongming, why are you here?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, when the last general was ordered to inspect Yi Jingcheng, he caught a sneaky person, and the last general suspected that this person was Gongsun Zhan's cronies, so he stepped forward to interrogate. Unexpectedly, when this person saw my army investigating, he turned around and ran. The last general expected that this person had a ghost, so he stepped forward to capture him, but he didn't expect to have a harvest. Xu Huang said in a deep voice, and then he reached out and took out a roll of cotton cloth in his arms and handed it to Du Chen.

Du Chen 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, Du Chen'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 of the matter is simple. Using Gongsun Zhan's letter of request for help, Du Chen 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 really loses again, then he can only set himself on fire and burn himself.

Yuan Shao was ordering people to dig tunnels in full swing, and Du Chen appeared in front of him with a cotton cloth. Yuan Shao was somewhat puzzled about Du Chen, who suddenly appeared in front of him, Du Chen didn't just specify the strategy of how to conquer Gongsun Zhan, and at this time, the tunnel had not yet been dug through, how could he appear in front of him.

"Silang, didn't you just let me dig a tunnel, have you changed your mind now?" Yuan Shao asked suspiciously.

Du Chen nodded, and then handed the cotton cloth in his hand to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao took the cotton cloth in Du Chen's hand with a slightly puzzled expression, and 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: "Silang, is this news accurate?" Yuan Shao was very excited, it was obvious that he could see the fighter in this. If the cotton cloth in Silang's hand is real, then he can eliminate Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop.

"This news was handed over by one of my generals. Presumably it won't be bad. Du Chen nodded and said: "You know, Gongsun Chan 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, Chen can't think of why Gongsun Chan would make up such a message to deceive us and others." Du Chen continued: "What Gongsun Chan can do now is either to hold on to help, or to 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. ”

Du Chen'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 Du Chen's analysis of Gongsun Zhan.

"Then according to Silang, I'll give it a try?" Yuan Shao asked with a hint of inquiry, it was obvious that Yuan Shao was already very convinced of Du Chen at this time, so he wanted to ask Du Chen's opinion when doing things.

Du Chen 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 Du Chen's affirmative reply, Yuan Shao began to prepare for the 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. (To be continued......)
