Hu Lan agreed, so he wrote a secret letter to Lu Jing, and Lu Jing immediately responded, and also wrote a secret letter to Lu Jing, saying that he asked Hu Lan to approve his crusade against Yang Dao and serve the imperial court.

However, Lu Jing also had a request in the letter, that is, to ask Hu Lan to keep it secret.

After receiving the letter, Hu Lan asked his advisers, "Do you think it should be kept secret?" ”

Someone said: "Of course it should be kept secret, military operations are meant to be secret, it's best for Lu Jing to march over quietly and suddenly appear to hit Yang Dao, isn't it good?" ”

But he said: "No, Hu Gong, not only do we not help Lu Jing keep secrets, but we also have to leak secrets." ”

Hu Lan's eyes moved when she heard this, "Oh? Why? ”

He Wei said: "Secrecy is beneficial to Lu Jing, leaking secrets is beneficial to us, please Hu Gong think about it, what will happen to us once we leak secrets, it is nothing more than Yang Dao knows, Yang Dao knows, there are two possibilities." The first is that he immediately turned around and went to fight Lu Jing, so that when we entered the siege of the city, we immediately came into contact, and there was also a possibility that Yang Dao would not go back to fight Lu Jing immediately, because Yang Dao was too powerful, in this case, we must let the guards who entered the city know that we are saved. So, whatever the possibility, we should leak it. ”

After hearing this, Hu Lan couldn't help but nodded, and immediately ordered to copy a few copies of the letter written by Lu Jing and let the carrier pigeon send it out.

Some were sent to the city, and some were sent to Yang Dao.

So Hu Yuan and Yang Dao all knew.

When Hu Yuan found out, he immediately announced that Lu Jing was going to fight Yang Dao from behind, and the whole army cheered and their morale increased greatly.

Lu Jing, who has been making small moves behind his back, finally succeeded in his plan, and on the front line of entering the city, Hu Lan's army also doubled its morale, and in the rear of Yang Dao, Lu Jing was friendly on the surface, but secretly sharpened his knife.

Yang Dao hesitated after getting the letter, he is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to get down, entering the city is soaked by the flood, the walls are about to collapse, he feels that entering the city is within reach, if he withdraws the army now, the previous efforts will be wasted, he is really unwilling.

At the same time, he also felt that his rear was not something that Lu Jing could take all at once, so he did not withdraw his troops.

Yang Dao did not withdraw the army, Hu Lan's side moved, on the one hand, Hu Yuan's defenders, the morale doubled, and on the other hand, the reinforcements sent over also doubled the morale.

Later, Hu Lan sent 12 battalions of men and horses to reinforce him, so Hu Yuan ordered an attack on Yang Dao.

In this battle, Yang Dao could not resist it, so he had to withdraw his troops, and the siege of entering the city was relieved.

As soon as Lu Jing received the news that Yang Dao had transferred troops to the front line of the city, Zhuang Wu's illness was cured, and Yulin was no longer a scholar, so he set off on two ways to copy Yang Dao's nest.

Moreover, Zhuang Wu let his soldiers all wear white clothes, dress up the army as a caravan, and dress up the warships as cargo ships, and set off along the Yunjiang River.

Along the way, I met Yang Dao's sentry, and said that they were doing business, and when chatting, someone went up to kill Yang Dao's sentry, and quietly arrived at Yang Dao's nest along the way.

As soon as Zhuangwu's army fell, the army left behind by Yang Dao surrendered, and Zhuangwu's soldiers took some territory without bloodshed.

And the rainforest is also triumphant all the way, holding the mouth of the Yunjiang River to prevent Ziyang from attacking.

It was Hu Lan's army that entered the city, and the rear was also covered with rainforest and Zhuangwu's army, which was equivalent to a big pocket surrounding Yang Dao.

Entering the city, it was Yang Dao's own assertion.

And he also paid the price for his own assertions, this battle, he was completely defeated, Haicheng was captured, he also fled all the way, and finally died on the battlefield because he couldn't resist.

However, Ziyang let it go and did not object.

Ming Zhu can't make decisions about things in the army at this time, he mainly supplies grain and grass and guards the rear, if he can make decisions, he will definitely not let Yang Dao enter the city.

He Fang said: "I still think that Mingzhu should be responsible for Yang Dao's death, no matter how you say it, Yang Dao's actions are carried out in accordance with Mingzhu's strategic deployment." ”

Li Ruwei couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth: "Iron pot falling from the sky?" Mingzhu was a plan, not an implementation plan, not to mention that Mingzhu didn't give Yang Dao a direct order to attack the city, and Mingzhu didn't have the right to give a direct order to Yang Dao, what responsibility did he have? ”

Here, there is another point, it is Mingzhu's strategic deployment, allowing Yang Dao and Ziyang to send troops on two ways and attack at the same time, but in the battle of entering the city, there are no two ways to send troops at all.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Yang Dao's battle into the city was the implementation of Mingzhu's strategic plan, on the contrary, Yang Dao's actions also undermined Mingzhu's strategic plan.

Yang Dao did not comprehend Mingzhu's strategic thinking at all, and hurriedly dispatched troops, which made Mingzhu's plan impossible to realize.

After Ziyang became king in Fengzhou, Yang Dao became a general, and at this time they also felt that they were very good, so Yang Dao had to inch in.

To put it nicely, he is chasing after the victory and making persistent efforts, but to put it mildly, he is insatiable and incomprehensible.

However, Ziyang will have to fight sooner or later when he enters the city, because entering the city is the location of Haicheng's governing office, and only by taking the city can he possess all Haicheng.

It's just that among the generals under Ziyang, there are also two opinions on whether to enter the city or not.

The first opinion is that I think it is possible to fight when I enter the city.

The previous year, an uprising against Hu Lan had broken out in the area, indicating that Hu Lan's rule in the northern part of Haicheng was unstable.

Ziyang had just won a great victory in Fengzhou, and his morale was booming, and Lu Jing was attacking the city in the east at this time, which could also echo Lu Jing's military operations.

The second opinion is that they feel that they can't fight, they feel that Ziyang has just gotten Fengzhou now, and what should be done now is to stabilize the situation, recuperate, and consolidate the results, and it is not appropriate to have any military action at this time, and they should first stand firm on their heels.

And they also felt that the power of Yang Dao seemed to be strong, but it was actually limited.

Among Ziyang's subordinates, there has been a state of arguing about whether to enter the city or not.

Therefore, Yang Dao took it upon himself to attack the city.

Ziyang did not authorize Yang Dao to conduct military operations, nor did he object to Yang Dao acting in this way.

Yang Dao was indeed carried away by the victory, the timing was not right, and the preparation was not sufficient, but his death, in the final analysis, was his own self-righteousness, pride and complacency, and he was so happy.

Hearing this news, Ziyang was sad and sad again.

Some of his subordinates said that he shouldn't have let Yang Dao guard Haicheng at that time.

However, Ziyang disagreed with this statement, when he was fighting Fengzhou, the front line needed people, so he took everyone else away, and finally left Yang Dao.

He also didn't feel that it was a wrong decision to let Yang Dao guard Haicheng, at least at that time, this decision was the right one.

Because Yang Dao is loyal, capable, and able to take charge of himself, and he can also lead the water army, Ziyang's army is all northerners, and it is difficult to choose the leader of the water army, but Yang Dao has the ability to lead the water army.
