Under the scorching sun, in the Jin army's camp, Lu Bu's soldiers stood there lazily. When they saw Gao Fei arriving on horseback with a few followers, Cheng Lian, who was in charge of guarding the gate, immediately came up to greet them.
"It turns out that the Marquis of Yan has arrived. Some are not welcomed from afar, and some are not welcomed from afar!" Cheng Lian looked kindly and said respectfully to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei turned over and dismounted, took a look at the empty military camp, there were very few soldiers in the entire military camp, and asked: "Where is the Marquis of Jin?"
Cheng Lian said: "Oh, my lord went hunting in the nearby mountains. He left before dawn. I guess he won't come back until night?"
"Hunting...hunting?" Gao Fei was shocked, "Does he still have the heart to hunt at this time?"
Cheng Lian nodded and said: "Marquis Yan may not understand our lord. As long as my lord wants to capture, there is no place that cannot be conquered. This is called attacking and conquering, so the day before the battle, my lord
I will go hunting to relax my mind, and then I can devote myself wholeheartedly to the battle."
When Gao Fei heard what Cheng Lian said, he felt that Lu Bu was a wild man. Seeing that the whole camp was empty, he got on his horse again, raised his whip and pointed in the direction of Yecheng, and said loudly: "General Cheng
, if your master
When you are coming back, please tell him that I, Gao Fei, will ask him to make an account. Also, once Yecheng is captured, it will belong to your Jin army. If you don't show some sincerity, our Yan army will have no choice but to do so.
Withdraw the siege and attack Qingzhou."
Cheng Lian still said with a smile on his face: "Please rest assured, Marquis Yan, I will definitely tell my lord."
Gao Fei turned his horse's head and sighed heavily when he saw the Zhao soldiers standing on the wall of the west gate.
On the way back, Wenpin came to Gao Fei with a gold-chissed tiger head gun and whispered: "My lord, what do Lu Bu think? My lord made such a wonderful plan, but Lu Bu didn't even pay the bills."
purchase?"
Gao Fei turned his face and saw the gold-plated tiger head gun held in Wenpin's hand, and asked curiously: "Zhongye, whose gun is that in your hand?"
Wenpin chuckled and said, "It belongs to Ju Yi. General Huang killed Ju Yi last night. I saw that his gun was good, so I took it over. It felt very good in my hand, so I couldn't put it down."
Gao Fei said: "Ju Yi is a talented general, but it's a pity that he would rather die than surrender. He is too grateful to the incompetent Yuan family. But his death has really hit Zhao Jun. Zilong! You can go and deal with Ju later."
When the swan calls out, it's his turn to play."
Zhao Yun said "Promise", rode his horse away from Gao Fei, and walked out towards the military camp.
Chen arrived and Wenpin followed Gao Fei closely. Along the way, they saw the water of the city moat stretching all the way to the northeast. All three of them felt a little emotional about the defense of Yecheng.
Gao Fei looked at the water in the moat flowing continuously, and suddenly he had an idea, his face was filled with joy, and he immediately ordered: "Go back to camp quickly, I already have a plan to destroy the city."
When Chen arrived, Wenpin looked at each other in surprise when he saw Gao Fei looking so happy, and then asked: "Please tell me, sir!"
Gao Fei smiled but did not answer, and only ordered: "You will definitely know when we get to the big tent, go back to camp quickly!"
When Chen arrived, Wenpin followed Gao Fei and quickly returned to the military camp. When they met Zhao Yun bringing Ju Hu out, he directly asked Zhao Yun to temporarily take Ju Hu aside to wait, and then summoned all the generals to gather in the big tent.
In the big tent, all the generals and counselors gathered. Gao Fei opened his mouth and said: "Ye City is very well-defended and it is extremely difficult to attack. The enemy must also know this. In addition, our army killed Ju Yi last night, so the enemy will be even more difficult to attack."
It will be easy to get out of the city. So, the only way now is to attack with water."
"Water attack?" Xu You rolled his eyes and asked hurriedly, "My lord, do you want to attack the water of Zhang River?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Exactly."
Xu You praised: "My lord is really wise, and my subordinates think so too."
Gao Fei had read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and knew that Xu You had proposed a plan to prevent the Zhang River from flooding Yecheng. When he heard what Xu You said, he just smiled and did not answer much.
"However, it is a hot day now, the weather is extremely hot, and there is very little rain. If the water from the Zhang River is blocked and poured into the city, a lot of manpower will have to be invested. First, it will be blocked, and then a ditch will be dug to reach Yecheng.
OK." Xu You analyzed.
Gao Fei smiled but did not answer, looking around at the generals.
Ouyang Yinying stood up and said loudly: "You are only half right. I guess the lord's intention is not to simply flood the city. If he wants to flood the city, the time chosen is wrong. It is the hot summer now, although it can
Flooding Yecheng with water, but under such a scorching sun, it is easy to weaken the effect of flooding. In my opinion, the lord is flooding the city or not, and the food in Yecheng's granary should be soaked with this flood.
"
Gao Fei chuckled and said: "You're right, that's what I mean. As far as I know, there is at least a year's worth of food in Ye city. If we cannot attack for a long time, we are likely to be counterattacked. Instead of waiting for such an opportunity, the enemy
If the enemy appears, it is better to take advantage of it and destroy the enemy's food and grass by flooding it with water, thus consuming the enemy's food and grass reserves."
Jia Xu said: "Well, this method is good, but it may take some time to implement it. At least while besieging Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun cannot see our army's intentions."
Xun Chen took the initiative to ask for orders: "Lord, leave this matter to me. The 20,000 soldiers I brought from Nanpi can be put to use, and Pan Gong and Mu Shun also want to serve the Lord."
Gao Fei said: "This matter can be left to you, but 20,000 people are too few, and at least half of them must be used to dig. You will be fully responsible for this matter, and lead the 50,000 surrendered soldiers to work together, and let Bai Yu
, Shi Jie, Li Yulin, Pan Gong, and Mu Shun commanded 10,000 people each..."
After a pause, Gao Fei stopped speaking, glanced at Wang Wenjun in the crowd, then pointed at Wang Wenjun and said: "You... serve as Xun Chen's deputy and oversee this matter together!"
Xun Chen, Wang Wenjun, Bai Yu, Shi Jie, Li Yulin, Pan Gong and Mu Shun bowed together: "Nuo!"
Gao Fei immediately ordered: "Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Tai Shi Ci."
Huang Zhong, Zhang He, and Tai Shici came out together, clasping their fists and saying, "What are your orders, my lord?"
Gao Fei said: "The three of you are still guarding the three city gates. You must strictly guard them and make sure there are no mistakes!"
"promise!"
After Gao Fei finished giving his instructions, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go down."
The people whose names were called by Gao Fei just now retreated, while the remaining people were still standing in the tent.
"Zilong, prepare three hundred cavalry, take Juhu with you, and follow me to the west gate. I want to challenge Wen Chou!" Gao Fei said with determination.
"Are you challenging Wen Chou? My lord, just leave this matter to me. My lord doesn't have to do it myself. My lord is a man of ten thousand gold. If anything happens..." Zhao Yun hurriedly consoled him.
"Well, I have my own sense of proportion. The strategy mentioned by the military advisor should be launched at this time. If Juhu alone can influence the hearts of many civil and military officials in Ye City, it will be worthwhile. Okay, you all go and do your own business.
Yes, guard the camp well and perform their duties." Gao Fei said firmly.
Everyone replied in unison: "No!"
Zhao Yun came out of the tent, immediately ordered 300 elite Feiyu Army soldiers, and followed Gao Fei with Ju Hu. After the battle of Julu, there were not many left in the Feiyu Army.
Now they are all under the management of Zhao Yun, and they are led as Gao Fei's personal bodyguards.
Gao Fei is very aware of the strength of his generals. In terms of force alone, only Zhao Yun is outstanding. Of course there is Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong is too old. It is no fun to have an old man following behind.
, it is better to let Huang Zhong lead the troops. On the contrary, he likes Zhao Yun, not only because Zhao Yun is handsome and pleasing to the eye, but also because Zhao Yun is young and has been following him for a long time, so he has great trust in him.
Outside the camp gate, Gao Fei led the way, clad in steel armor and holding a dragon spear in his hand. He led Zhao Yun, Ju Hu and three hundred cavalrymen and ran towards the west gate.
Outside the west gate of Ye City, Cheng Lian was still drinking in the tent when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. He hurriedly ran out and looked around. When he saw Gao Fei coming with a group of people, he felt a headache.
He said to himself: "Why are you here again?"
Gao Fei rode a horse on dark clouds and snow, and galloped quickly outside the Jin army's camp gate, directly facing the west gate. After a while, the cavalry behind him gathered together and walked forward slowly.
Arriving in front of the moat, Gao Fei raised the dragon spear in his hand upwards, stared at Wen Chou who was standing on the tower, and shouted: "Wen Chou! I am the Marquis of Yan, General of Hussars, Mu Gaofei of Youzhou,
I’m here today to ask you for advice, do you dare to fight me to the death?”
Wen Chou had been standing on the tower. He didn't see the Jin army leaving the camp. He only felt that the camp was empty and there were only a few soldiers, but Lu Bu's army was nowhere to be seen. He had a lot of doubts in his heart. He guessed that the Jin army was making a big show.
The Enchanting Formation wanted him to go out and rob the camp, but he never dreamed that because of his carelessness, he ignored a good opportunity to attack the Jin army's camp.
"Isn't the military advisor here yet?" Wen Chou turned to the soldiers behind him and asked.
None of the soldiers answered, they just stood there silently, looking at the three hundred cavalry led by Gao Fei below the city.
"Wen Chou, you shy turtle, why do you pretend to be the number one general of the Zhao army? Damn you! You are hiding in the city and not daring to fight. What kind of man are you..." Gao Fei is not very good at scolding formations. For him,
To put it bluntly, he felt that this was a bit like scolding a shrew.
Wen Chou was quite able to keep his composure and said loudly: "It turns out that the Marquis of Yan has arrived and I didn't expect him to meet me from afar. But don't waste your time talking like that. You want to lure me out of the city, but there is no way. If you want to fight alone,
I'm not afraid of you, it's just that Marquis Yan is too insidious and cunning, maybe he's setting a trap outside
Waiting for me to infiltrate inside. You should save your breath. No matter how you scold me, I will not fight. A great general cannot just expect to fight alone, he must also know how to put the overall situation first. Sorry, Marquis Yan.
, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely fight you for dozens of rounds."
Gao Fei turned to Juhu and said, "Go ahead and scold me! Curse me to death!"
