When Yang Rui arrived at Changyi City, the seat of Yanzhou Governance, Qiao Mao seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and told Yang Rui for a while. It turned out that although Qiao Mao took Changyi City, but because Liu Dai deployed a lot of troops in the city, Qiao Mao lost a lot in the process of attacking the city.

"The matter has come to this point, too many worries are useless, Brother Yuan Wei should make every effort to prepare for Liu Dai to attack the city." Yang Rui said immediately.

Not to mention that several of Yang Rui's generals are not around at present, and they also have to take care of the matter of migrating NPCs, there is also Yuan Shao in the north, so that Qingzhou can't help Qiao Mao for the time being; Even if Yang Rui's power is stronger in the future, it is impossible for him to be considerate of Qiao Mao all the time.

"But Brother Yuan Wei doesn't have to worry too much, although Liu Dai captured Puyang City, I believe that it will take some time to rectify and tidy up, Brother Yuan Wei should use these days to strengthen the city defense of Changyi City, and the deep ditch and high base are ready for Liu Dai to attack.

What's more, at this time, Yuan Shao still left Puyang City, with Liu Dai's strength alone, whether he will come to capture Changyi is still between the two theories, even if he brings troops, Brother Yuan Wei's troops are not much weaker than him, just rely on the location of Changyi City to hold on.

Of course, Wu Lieyang is here to go to Henan Yin General Gao Shun, Zhang Ning and several other powerful generals to welcome back, Brother Yuan Wei only needs to hold on for a few days, and he will be able to wait until my general returns, if Liu Dai still dares to attack, I and Brother Yuan Wei will definitely be able to defeat his army under the cooperation of the outside world! ”

While letting Qiao Mao recognize the form, Yang Rui certainly did not forget to encourage Qiao Mao a few words, thus strengthening his confidence in defending the city.

"I wonder how long it will take for General Lieyang to go?"

"It's only a few days."

"Well, that's it. I hope we can wait for the return of General Lieyang! I have no right-hand counsellor in my account. It still needs a few more words from General Lieyang on the matter of defending the city. Qiao Mao sighed and said.

Obviously, Yang Rui's previous words didn't bring much confidence to Qiao Mao. Previously, Qiao Mao adopted Yang Rui's plan to get rid of the golden cicada. This is the one who took Changyi City while avoiding trouble, and it is precisely because of this that Qiao Mao has formed an agreement with Yang Rui's strategy, so he will have this question.

Qiao Mao has this trust, but it makes Yang Rui's head bigger, Yang Rui is just a layman when it comes to strategy, and the last time he was able to get the golden cicada out of his shell was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse - just a coincidence, at this time Qiao Mao asked him again. Yang Rui is also poor.

Yang Rui wanted to tell the truth, saying that he didn't have a good plan, but looking at Qiao Mao's very much expectation, if he didn't make a plan, he was afraid that it would greatly hit his confidence in defending the city, so he racked his brains for a while, and finally reluctantly came up with a plan for Qiao Mao.

"Brother Yuan Wei and Liu Dai get along for a long time, and they know each other well, I believe that Liu Dai also knows some of Brother Yuan Wei's temperament very well, so only by surprise can he win, Brother Yuan Wei is not as arranged like this"

It was not in vain that Yang Rui pondered and meditated. After Yang Rui said the strategy he had figured out to Qiao Mao, Huang Guang, who had previously appeared on behalf of the success of the strategy, actually reappeared. Although it was still only a faint layer, it completely enveloped Yang Rui and Qiao Mao.

This was once again beyond Yang Rui's expectations, but he didn't expect that since his Art of War skill - Sun Tzu's Art of War (Thirteen Articles) reached the level of [Knowing His Skin] level, this time he actually reached the relevant use conditions again, which is definitely a surprise!

"What a plan, what a plan! General Lieyang is really a great talent! Hahaha, talent! ”

While listening to Yang Rui's strategy, Qiao Mao's originally somewhat confused expression gradually relaxed, until Yang Rui finished the whole strategy, Qiao Mao couldn't help laughing and praising Yang Rui's strategy.

In fact, the strategy proposed by Yang Rui is not as mysterious as Qiao Mao's mouth, it is just an empty city plan designed by Yang Rui according to Qiao Mao's character, but it also happens to coincide with the empty city strategy in Sun Tzu's Art of War (Thirteen Chapters), which makes the strategy skills that Yang Rui has just mastered play a role again, and Qiao Mao of course follows it.

During the period of contact with Qiao Mao, according to Yang Rui's understanding, Qiao Mao should only be a scribe-type prince, and he was relatively conservative when he acted. Yang Rui has reason to believe that Liu Dai should also know Qiao Mao's temperament.

Therefore, Yang Ruijian deliberately showed his clumsiness when Liu Dai came to attack, and made a look of being caught off guard, and only placed a small number of soldiers in the Ming place to lure Liu Dai to attack urgently, and then he tried his best to kill one of his hands, or he could succeed!

For Qiao Mao, if Liu Dai really came to attack, he would inevitably face a battle against the water, and if he wins, he will continue to divide one side, and if he loses, he will die without a place to be buried, so after Yang Rui proposed this empty city plan, Qiao Mao also showed the true colors of the princes.

Qiao Mao's attitude may have been partially influenced by Yang Rui's strategy skills, and he had benefited from Yang Rui's strategy once before, so he happily adopted Yang Rui's strategy. However, it is undeniable that Yang Rui's strategy can be secretly combined with Sun Tzu's Art of War (thirteen articles), and it is also a good strategy, and Qiao Mao's current situation has reached the time to give it a go, so he can see how the situation develops and how Liu Dai reacts

After Yang Rui proposed an empty city plan for Qiao Mao and reminded him to continue to make greater efforts to prepare for the defense of the city, he did not stop any longer, and left Changyi City non-stop, driving the Daofeng Flying Carpet to the direction of Tiger Prison Pass.

Qiao Mao naturally won't stay long in this regard, but he is still waiting for Yang Rui to bring back a few generals as soon as possible to help Changyi City! Yang Rui's strategy has a chance to catch Liu Dai off guard, but it is difficult to completely solve the problem, so Qiao Mao is still very anxious for Yang Rui's return.

In fact, Yang Rui was not very sure that he could rush back in time to help Qiao Mao, so when he was leaving, Yang Rui was still hesitating whether to remind Qiao Mao, if he really couldn't defeat Liu Dai's soldiers and horses at that time, he could go to Qingzhou, Taishan County and even Dashan City to avoid it temporarily, but in the end, Yang Rui didn't say anything about it.

First of all, if Qiao Mao can't resist the enemy, he will naturally think of running away, I'm afraid that Yang Rui will also go to Qingzhou if he doesn't say it; Secondly, if Qiao Mao can't even overcome this hurdle, he may not be able to perform the role of Qingzhou's barrier in the future, and he is destined to not be able to play the role that the alliance should have.

Then again, although Yang Rui guessed in advance the threat that Yuan Shao might pose to Qingzhou Plain County, his measures to deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Dai were still a little slow, and when he understood and determined that Yuan and Liu would definitely take action from Qiao Mao, it was already a bit of a feeling of being led by the nose by the other party to deal with it.

Fortunately, Yang Rui did not blindly seek to earn the merit points and points of the plot of Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, and finally decided to start with Stable Qingzhou first, so that he could have the opportunity to fight with Yuan and Liu to speed up, if not, it is likely that Yang Rui's situation will be more passive!

Yang Rui has been thinking about the measures to deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Dai's soldiers and horses, and he traveled westward all the way, so after about three hours, he finally met Gao Shun and a cadre of soldiers who were the first to migrate with the Heyin NPC when he was about to reach the Tiger Prison Pass. This is a little more than Yang Rui's previous expectations, but I didn't expect Gao Shun to pass the Tiger Prison Pass so quickly!

However, looking at the NPC people behind Gao Shun, they didn't even have one percent of what they did when they set off, so Yang Rui immediately sensed that something was wrong while he was overjoyed.

"Gao Shun greets the lord!" After Gao Shun and Yang Rui met Lishu, they told what they had encountered without waiting for Yang Rui to ask.

"The lord once said that Gao Shun would guide the migrants to go quickly, Gao Shun did not dare to slack off, and has been urging them to hurry, and two days ago, some of the civilians who went ahead had already passed the Tiger Prison Pass, and at this time, Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, suddenly led troops to block the checkpoint, and before that, the migrating people were only a small part of the checkpoint.

At that time, I watched Cao Cao's captain's situation, and it must be difficult for us, so I stepped forward to respectfully ask for advice, hoping that he could read on the face of the lord and let him go, but General Cao excused himself to set up a banquet to entertain the lord, and sent the lord back to Qingzhou, and he had to see the lord to let go.

Seeing that I couldn't do anything, I sent the soldiers to Heyin on fast horses to inform Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao and others, and at the same time I was ready to forcibly rush through the pass, just waiting for the sky to get late or when the time was right, I would take the Tiger Prison Pass!

I know that only half a day later, General Cao sent someone to get down to the pass, saying that the lord was merciful and could not bear the suffering of the people of Heyin in the Luoyang area, General Cao himself was deeply admired, and General Cao and the lord had a lot of colleagues, so we can let go of the Tiger Prison Pass, but I want to make a strong attack on the Tiger Pass, during which I don't have to really do it, just shout and rush the pass, General Cao also took the opportunity to defeat the battle, and took the initiative to let go of the Tiger Pass!

Listening to his words is not like a lie, Gao Shun knows that there must be something strange in it, if it is really like the words of the person sent by General Cao, it will avoid the loss of the soldiers! With the majesty of the Tiger Prison, I am afraid that the soldiers will be damaged, so Gao Shun also agreed.

However, Gao Shun did not dare to believe his words, after it was getting late, I divided a small group of people to go to the front of the pass to make noise, General Cao retreated unexpectedly, and our soldiers quickly took over the checkpoint, Gao Shun was able to pass the pass and catch up with some of the people who migrated in front."

After Gao Shun explained, Yang Rui understood that Cao Cao was acting! (To be continued......)
