Yuan Yin, who was already dissatisfied, was 'encouraged' by Sun Ming like this, and he hated his weakness even more in his heart, but he still had to confirm the last question.

He slowly raised his head, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Why did Thorn Shi help me?" I'm just an outcast of the Yuan family, and I think that there is nothing to make the assassin Shi look at me, so Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are both braver than me. ”

Sun Ming personally poured him a glass of wine, and then raised his glass to drink with him.

"Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are both greedy and traitorous ministers with wolf ambitions, and my father once said to me that I should choose a number of reliable people among the heroes in the world to jointly assist the new monarch in the future."

"My brother Guangong is a loyal and righteous person, so I am here to recruit, the new era is coming, don't you want to have a place, it is not difficult to choose whether to be a brave man or a fool."

"Just answer me, do you want to become the lord of Jizhou, is your blood still hot? I have the power to help you, as long as you nod your head. ”

Sun Ming's words were like mental poison that constantly stimulated his brain nerves, making him forgetful and excited.

Yuan Yin, who was instigated, looked at Sun Ming feverishly, "I think!" This Jizhou is my thing, and Yuan Highway just stole it from me. ”

"As long as Sun Tingshi helps me recapture Jizhou, I will be the head of the Thorn Shi in the future, and you will be my Yuan Yin's master from today."

Behold, there is also a son of the scholar clan who gave up his so-called family glory and joined Sun Ming's lineup, and he no longer feels that the eunuchs have misled the country, and even secretly rejoices in his heart that he has the opportunity to take refuge in him.

After saying his inner thoughts, Yuan Yin felt that the wind blowing over had become a lot cooler.

Sun Ming was very satisfied with his answer, "Okay, but this matter is not urgent, you need to conspire, just to make a move at the most critical moment, I will let Yada keep correspondence with you." ”

After talking about the matter, Sun Ming also started with a few people, and tasted the plum wine by the way.

The next day, Yuan Yin went back to his Guangchuan, although Xiuxian is now Sun Ming's territory, but the location is too prominent, once there is a war, here is the first to bear the brunt.

For the sake of safety, the few of them returned to Nanpi.

A few days later, Yuan Shu captured Xiabo County in Anping, and only Zhisuo Xindu and several nearby cities remained in Anping, which was still struggling to support in the hands of Minister Liu Ping.

By the way, Liu Xu, the king of Anping, was killed for supporting the guilt of the Yellow Turban, and Liu Ping, the minister of state, was the biggest official in Anping.

As long as the attack continues, Julu County will transfer about 10,000 more people to encircle it, and it will be able to control Anping in less than two months.

But at this time, he made an unbelievable decision, temporarily abandoning Xindu and other places, and going north directly to cut off Yuan Shao's back road.

It is unbelievable, but it is too rash, unlike Sun Ming's temporary abandonment of Youzhou and other places, he is a thorn in history, and he is the governor of a state recognized by the imperial court.

Although your Yuan family is very popular, there are still some people who are not convinced, which proves the size of the pattern of the two of them.

He ignored it, implemented Han Hao's plan in advance, divided his troops into two routes, took Gao Yang and Wu Heng respectively, and agreed to attack at the same time, taking Yuan Shao by surprise.

Wu Heng guarded the two brothers Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang did not expect that there would be a war at all, because the incident happened suddenly, there was no time to react, and in the middle of the night they were touched into the city by a group of soldiers holding flying claws and opened the city gate.

After Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang learned that Yuan Shu had attacked the city, they did not resist and surrendered directly, their Lu family had been loyal to the Yuan family for a long time, as for whether the master was Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, there was little difference to them.

In this way, Wu Heng was occupied by Yuan Shu in one night.

The Gaoyang guards in the center of the two counties were Xu You and Zhang He, and they were private generals, not inherited from the Yuan family, and their loyalty was only to Shao.

Yuan Shu's other siege force had already arrived at Gaoyang City, and the general who led the team was General Ji Ling, but he was not facing pustules like the Lu family brothers.

Before his men and horses arrived in the city, they had already been detected by spies, Xu You and Zhang He immediately waited for the battle, and sent cavalry to inform Yuan Shao, who was attacking Yangcheng.

Ji Ling 10,000 people rushed thousands of miles, wanting to take him by surprise, but after waiting for dark, a hundred soldiers holding chains and flying claws quietly came to the city wall.

As soon as he threw the hook up, he was spotted by the patrolling defenders, and once this trick was discovered, it was no threat, and it failed before the first wave of attack could begin.

Ji Ling didn't lose his mind, he came in a hurry, he didn't have siege weapons at all, not even a cloud ladder, let alone any chariots, Xuanche and other things.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 3,000 defenders in Gaoyang City at this time, but there is really no way to attack 10,000 people without heavy weapons, and Sun Tzu also mentions in the Art of War that if you want to build heavy objects such as chariots or catapults, you can't do it without three or two months.

Only Sun Ming used modern conceptual technology to divide the catapult into multiple parts, first prepared in Zhuoxian, and then quickly transported to the battlefield with a unique four-wheeled bicycle.

The pre-war preparation time was greatly reduced, and an enhanced version of the catapult arrived on the battlefield and was assembled within five days.

Ji Ling saw that there was already a defense in the city, and the flying claws did not work at all, and the combat effectiveness of the rapid march for two days was indeed low.

He could only order a retreat of ten miles to the village, and sent an envoy into the city to say that it was a misunderstanding, and he would withdraw his troops in two days, while asking his subordinates to quickly report to Yuan Shu and ask for support.

But Xu Yu is a person, as shrewd as he is, as soon as he saw the envoy, he knew that Ji Ling was delaying time, and he also guessed that the enemy army was now sleepy.

Immediately let Zhang He lead the whole city of 3,000 soldiers to attack Ji Ling late at night, Zhang He was a little shocked and said, "It's too risky to send all 3,000 people, it can't be done without leaving a single soldier in the city, in case the city is lost..."

Xu You got up and interrupted, "Don't worry, I have already considered it, everything is in your brain, there should only be Ji Ling at present, as long as you wipe it out, Gao Yang will be fine, if you wait for the rear to help, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer at that time." ”

"And I don't know how many people there are in the enemy army, I am afraid that you will not be able to wipe out all the soldiers you bring, just listen to me."

After hearing this, Zhang He still felt a little risky, and decided not to follow Xu You's instructions, "Before Yuan Gong left, he ordered me to be the main general, if Gao Yang fails, I will bear the brunt of it, or leave a thousand people to defend." ”

After that, he ignored Xu Yu's advice and left the big tent.

After he left, Xu You said with a disgusted face, "Indecisive, I don't want to give you a great credit, it's really not enough to have a plan." ”

Zhang He also has a lot of criticism about Xu You, this person is too self-righteous, and many times he has overstepped his command as the main general, but he must also admit that Xu You is really talented.

Quickly assembled the men and horses, Zhang He took two thousand infantry out of the city, and the spies had already found out the location of Jiling Dazhai, and all the staff did not take torches or ride horses.
