When Zhang Ju heard a loud "boom". He hurriedly ordered all his dead soldiers to break out from the north gate, because he remembered the rumor that Zhang Jiao was sent to heaven by Zhao Xing on the Taocheng City.

The rebels, who are not necessarily powerful in battle, actually burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness when they were fleeing for their lives. These dead soldiers, who had been raised by Zhang Ju's men for many years, took a suicidal attack after rushing out of the north gate, often exchanging their lives for their lives, just hoping to open a bloody road.

In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the soldiers of the Xiongwu Army who blocked the north gate immediately gave Zhang Ju a way to escape. Zhang Ju then fled north in a panic with hundreds of his soldiers, and after running out of more than ten miles in one go, he thought that he had escaped from Shengtian, but he didn't expect that there were already people waiting in front of him.

Ye Xiong, who had been idle for a long time, finally saw a handful of rebels fleeing for their lives coming to the place where he had set up an ambush. Although it is only a few hundred people, it does not seem to carry enough weight. But Ye Xiong, in line with the principle that no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, they are still meat, still did not hesitate to order five thousand cavalry to surround this group of bloodied thugs in a small area.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Zhang Ju showed a decisive look in his fierce eyes, and rushed out with a short knife in his hand, ready to make a final fight with Ye Xiong's cavalry.

Ye Xiong had been observing the expressions of this group of thugs, and when he saw a guy who looked like a leader rushing out, he immediately urged his horse to meet him. Without waiting for Zhang Ju to cut the front hooves of the horse under his crotch with a short knife, Ye Xiong slashed the back of the knife on Zhang Ju's chest, and at that time he heard the person under the horse make a "click" bone cracking sound.

Zhang Ju, who was hit in the chest by Ye Xiong with a knife in the back, suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and passed out the next moment.

Ye Xiong's long knife pointed directly at the thugs not far away, and shouted loudly: "Xiliang Ye Xiong is here, if you are not afraid of death, come up!"

This group of red-eyed thugs didn't know how powerful they were, and they really rushed out of dozens of people to besiege Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong was suddenly full of pride, sat firmly on the horse, and waved a long knife in an airtight air, only the sound of "plop, plop" knife cutting flesh could be heard, and dozens of thugs turned into broken corpses in an instant.

Ye Xiong's tyrannical move completely deterred the hundreds of thugs who were still ready to fight hard. Everyone threw down their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and shouted in their mouths, "General Ye spares his life with his sword!"

"Tie up all these thugs and send them back to Jixian County to wait for Commander Li to fall!" Ye Xiong gave an order, and then picked up Zhang Ju, who had passed out, and rushed towards Jixian with a smile on his face. It's no wonder that Ye Xiong grinned, he single-handedly captured the two rebel leaders, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, which is a great achievement.

The fighting in Jixian County has long stopped, and the rebels who were originally frightened by the sound of the explosion and their legs were weak, and when they saw the heavily armored government soldiers rushing into the city, they couldn't resist at all, so they threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground tremblingly, begging for their lives.

By the time Ye Xiong arrived in Jixian County with the cavalry troops, Liu Dai's banner had already been replaced on the city, and it was obvious that the Xiongwu army had completely controlled the situation in the city.

In the temporarily opened conference hall, the generals above the division level gathered together, and everyone was discussing how to outwit Yuyang City and capture Gongsun Zan alive.

Jia Mu, the military advisor of the Xiongwu Army, explained to everyone one by one the three sets of plans that had been drawn up, and asked the generals present to put forward suggestions for revision and improvement.

The first set of plans was to drive out the rebels besieging Yuyang, besiege Yuyang City without attacking, and finally trapped Gongsun Zan alive. The problem with this was that if the Xiongwu army could not exhaust the defenders in the city, and finally delayed time, it would affect the course of the entire battle on the northern front.

The second plan, pretending to be Zhang Ju's rebels, mixed in with the rebels who were besieging Yuyang, suddenly launched a siege battle, blew up the city wall of Yuyang as quickly as possible, and entered the city. The risk of doing so is that the real rebels may follow them, and then they will be difficult to follow.

The third set of plans is still pretending to be a soldier of Youzhou Prefecture, in front of Gongsun Chan in the city, exterminating the rebels, and then asking to enter the city to rest, and finally deceive the city gate, and the army will enter the city and capture Gongsun Chan alive. The disadvantage of this is that if Gongsun Chan resolutely refuses to open the city gate and does not agree to the friendly troops outside the city entering the city, the result will be to clear the way for Gongsun Chan to flee eastward, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Jia Mu analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the three sets of plans in detail, and for a while, everyone was unable to choose, and they did not know which plan to choose was the best.

Just when everyone was deep in thought, Li Jinwu suddenly said: "Can you combine the second set of plans with the third set of plans to come up with a chain plan?"

When Jia Mu heard Li Jinwu say this, he felt very curious, so he said, "Please also ask the commander to explain it in detail." ”

Li Jinwu continued: "It is better for us to arrange for some soldiers to continue to dress up as government soldiers, disperse the rebels outside one of the city gates, and gradually approach the city of Yuyang." Then let the other part pretend to be the rebels who followed, and gradually formed an encirclement of the government soldiers, causing a critical situation. In the city, Gongsun Chan saw that the government soldiers who came to rescue him were in crisis, and he should have ordered his subordinates to let the government soldiers enter the city to hide. After deceiving the city gate, the government soldiers deliberately delayed the time and let the rear-end rebels follow into the city, so that they could deceive the Yuyang city gate without blood.

After listening to Li Jinwu's idea, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up. Indeed, Li Jinwu's arrangement is the most deceptive, both the government soldiers and the rebels let the Xiongwu army play the role, Ren Gongsun Zan and his advisers wanted to break their heads, and they would never guess such a strange trick to deceive the city.

"How can we be sure that the real rebels who have been dispersed will not return to attack the government soldiers?" Jamu asked.

Li Jinwu replied calmly: "Take Zhang Chun and let him give the rebels an order to attack the other three gates, and this city gate that will be attacked by the Xiongwu army will be handed over to the troops that Zhang Chun "brought". ”

"How can we avoid the fact that the troops pretending to be government soldiers and the troops pretending to be rebels will not have real casualties, and they can still deceive the soldiers defending the city, including Gongsun Zhan?" Ye Xiong asked a very crucial question.

Li Jinwu replied again: "Let the soldiers pretending to be government soldiers hide a few bags of horse blood under their clothes, and let the rebel soldiers pretending to be pursuing prepare some arrows with the clusters of arrows removed, and shoot them from a distance." ”

"After entering the city, the defenders of the city will inevitably launch a fierce attack on the troops that are trailing into Yuyang, how will they deal with it when the time comes?" asked Guo Daxian, the heavy step master.

"Once you enter the city, take control of the city gates with all your might. At that time, the pretending government soldiers who have already entered the city do not need to act any longer, and assist the friendly troops behind them to attack the soldiers defending the city. Li Jinwu said decisively.

"Okay, in this way, Gongsun Chan suspected that it was the rebels who pretended to be the soldiers, and he couldn't imagine that it was the Xiongwu army who came to attack the city. Yu Yigen agreed with this latest plan and couldn't help but say.

In the end, Li Jinwu gave an order: "Everyone quickly arrange the task, hurry up and prepare relevant items and clothing, and the army will start tomorrow, and this battle must completely annihilate Gongsun Zhan's army, and no one in the city can escape!"
