"My lord, this Yangzhou assassin is newly appointed by the imperial court, and we are so rash to attack, I am afraid that the division is unknown. "www.biquge.info Yan Xiang first advised Yuan Shu from the aspect of the righteousness of the imperial court. Yan Xiang is a Han minister in his bones, and he is loyal to the Han family first, and then the rear general in front of him. Yuan Shu wanted to risk the world to attack the court's vassals and his subjects, which was very uncomfortable for Yan Xiang.

On the other side, Han Hao analyzed to Yuan Shu from the war itself: "Lord, we want to use this dense fog to surprise the enemy and make a surprise attack on the enemy, and the key to this is a strange word. However, according to the reports of my scouts, the Yangzhou Thorn History Department on the opposite side had already sensed our intentions a few days earlier, and had already deployed a large number of defenses and troops on the banks of the Yangtze River, and had already defended us.

If we act rashly now, not only will we not be able to achieve the goal of attacking the other side by surprise, but this thick fog will become an obstacle for us, making us unable to detect the opponent's arrangement and defense, which is extremely disadvantageous to us. ”

After listening to the words of Han Hao and Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu was very impatient and said, "I have already decided to attack Yangzhou!" As a basis for our future, you don't need to say more. Lin Xiaobai on the other side, I didn't have no dealings with him when I was in the Tiger Prison before, this person looks like an ordinary person, how dare you go against me?! ”

"My lord is right. Our army has more than 100,000 elite armor soldiers, which is enough to throw a whip to break the stream and shake the mountains! Coupled with the courage of Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Zhang Xun, and Le Liang, Lin Xiaobai on the opposite side will definitely not dare to die! As soon as my army arrives in Yuzhang, Lin Xiaobai will definitely open the city and surrender, so you just wait and see. Yang Hong clasped his hands and looked at Han Hao and Yan Xiang with disdain.

"We, the generals on the battlefield, are not afraid, you are afraid of a ball!" Zhang Xun mocked strangely, choking Yan Xiang and Han Hao enough, these people regarded them as afraid of death.

Yan Xiang's face sank, and he said coldly, "What does General Zhang mean by this?" It is the duty of our courtiers to give advice to the lord, is there something wrong? ”

Han Hao was also very unhappy, but he didn't say anything, just stood aside.

"Alright, alright." Yuan Shu waved his hand to make Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun, who were tense, stop, and said, "Don't quarrel, according to the previous plan, let's start acting." ”

On this day of the first year of the first peace, a huge war broke out in Yangzhou! With the help of the fog in the sky, more than 100,000 Yuan Shujun launched an attack on Yangzhou on this day!

Yuan Shu's army totaled 170,000 people and marched in three directions. The vanguard of Yuan Shujun was commanded by Ji Ling, a fierce general in the army, with Le Zhuo and Lei Bo as deputy generals, commanding 40,000 elite soldiers and horses, and took the lead in crossing the boundary of Huainan and Jiujiang County, and marched towards Liyang City.

The Chinese army totaled 100,000 people, most of whom were infantry, and also carried a lot of siege equipment, which was personally commanded by Yuan Shu, and marched after Ji Ling's departure, as the main force to be ready to support Ji Ling at any time.

The rear army is a transport force, 30,000 men, which is not responsible for the battle on the frontal battlefield, but is only responsible for escorting grain and grass for the entire army and providing baggage supplies.

The whole Yuan Shu army has a clear division of labor, morale is quite high, combat effectiveness is extremely strong, although Yuan Shu has been defeated by Kuangting, but it has not greatly damaged the vitality, the foundation is still here, and there are still many soldiers and generals who are good at fighting in the army.

After Yuan Shu's order was issued, it only took half a day for Ji Ling's department to cross the border line between Jiujiang County and Huainan County, and trampled the stone tablet engraved with the three words of Jiujiang County on the border.

After Yuan's army entered the territory of Jiujiang County, it did not encounter any resistance, and the journey was very smooth.

At the beginning, Ji Ling was still a little proud, Han Hao and Yan Xiang were really general, worried and worried, these are just a slap in the face, the Yangzhou Thorn History Department on the border of Jiujiang County did not dare to send people to defend at all, presumably they were afraid of the military strength of our army!

However, after going deep into most of Jiujiang County, Ji Ling gradually realized that something was wrong.

If you want to say that the enemy is afraid of you, you can't see the soldiers to explain it. But they walked all the way, and they didn't even see a single figure, although there were houses everywhere on the roadside, but after the sergeant went in to check, he couldn't even see the figure of a single person, it was empty everywhere, and the entire Jiujiang County seemed to have become a ghost land.

"What the hell!" Ji Ling looked at the strange quiet scene around him, and he was a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up and arrive at Liyang City as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, the Yuan army led by Ji Ling arrived at the foot of Liyang City.

Passing through the thick fog and coming to the foot of Liyang City, Ji Ling was surprised to find that the entire Liyang City was empty, and the city gate was wide open, with the heavy fog around it, like a pale monster that chose people to devour.

"There won't be any ambush, will it?" Thinking of the strange scenes when he came, Ji Ling was vigilant, and did not immediately order the siege of the city, but first sent a small team of sergeants into the city to investigate the situation.

"Report to your lordship, the city is safe, everything is normal, it's just ......."

"Just what?!" Ji Ling hurriedly asked.

The sergeant clasped his hands and said, "It's just that there is not even a person in the city, and there is a lot of dust and cobwebs in the houses in the city, and it seems that there has been no one living in it for a while." Many of the houses have left traces of hastily moving out, and the residents of the city must have moved away for a long time. It seems that most of the people in Yangzhou knew about our attack plan in advance. ”

"How is that possible!" Ji Ling said angrily: "Our actions are very secretive, before today, even many officers and soldiers in the army didn't know our action goals, how could they know?!" ”

"This, the subordinates don't know." The sergeant bowed his head and said with the same puzzlement.

"That's it." Ji Ling didn't delve into it, because he thought about it, this is also a good thing, he captured Liyang City, the capital of Jiujiang County so quickly, and it was also a great achievement for the lord. “

"Scout!"

"In!"

"Immediately send an order to the lord, our army has captured Liyang City, the enemy is afraid of the might of our army, dare not fight, abandon the city and flee, our army is bloodless, and captured Liyang City." When Ji Ling spoke, he deliberately accentuated his tone with the words fear of our army's military might.

The scout was a little stunned at first, he had been in the city for a long time, and he didn't see any enemies at all. However, he quickly understood, smiled at Ji Ling knowingly, and took the order away.
