Yuan Shu shook his head slightly. He believed in his soldiers, understood Xu Huang, and knew that he would definitely not let go of the gap in Yidu County.
"Since Your Majesty is so confident, should we attack the city now or wait until General Zang Ba arrives before attacking the city?"
Yuan Shu was so confident that Zhong Yao naturally didn't want to offend him and directly asked when he would attack the city.
"Don't rush to attack the city. Just wait for two days. The longer you wait, the weaker the enemy's will to resist will be. By the time Zang Ba's 100,000 troops arrive, I'm afraid they will be able to break through without attacking."
Yuan Shu shook his head slightly and looked at the Xiangyang City in the distance, a little lost in thought. In a trance, he seemed to see that the Xiangyang City in front of him was stained with blood, and countless corpses were floating on the city walls.
"No, I'll do it right away."
Zhong Yao glanced at the distracted Yuan Shu, saluted him directly, and then left to arrange the siege.
"Your Majesty, do you really not need to arrange for someone to find Gong Ming?
If he really didn't leave Yidu County and was really escaped by the enemy, he would be in trouble."
Dian Wei moved closer to Yuan Shu, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Although he is a little reckless, it does not mean that he is stupid. After all, he has been following Yuan Shu for such a long time, and he understands some things through the influence of his ears and eyes.
He is also naturally familiar with military matters. The only gap in Xiangyang is Yidu County. If Xu Huang is not there, if Xiangyang is broken, Huang Wan escapes from Yidu County.
If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.
"I was just talking to Zhong Yao. You immediately arrange for a few guards to ride towards Yidu County. You must find out the news about Xu Huang. If you can't find it, come back and report it immediately.
If Xu Huang is found, he should not show up for the time being and lie in ambush at the junction of Yidu County and Xiangyang County. If Huang Wan really escapes from there, he must be captured as soon as possible, do you understand?"
Yuan Shu naturally knew the importance of Yidu County, but Zhong Yao was accidentally close to him after all, so he didn't seem so casual. He had to show his brilliance and talent everywhere, so that those officials could only look up to him.
, dare not give birth to a rebellious heart.
"I understand, I'll arrange for someone to go there."
Dian Wei saluted Yuan Shu with clasped fists, and then several cavalrymen rushed out of the camp and ran towards Yidu County.
While Yuan Shu was waiting for Zang Ba from Nanjun to arrive, Huang Kui, who was far away in Caiyang, had already received the news and led all his troops northward to attack Xinye City.
When he arrived outside Xinye City, fifty miles away from Huang Kui, he did not rush to send troops there, but chose to temporarily station the army.
"General, how are you going to attack Xinye City?"
A group of captains gathered under Huang Kui's tent and looked at Huang Wan's biological son, General Pingdong of the New Han Dynasty.
"In this way, first send a thousand elites to disguise themselves and sneak into Xinye City, and then cooperate with the army to capture the city."
Huang Kui's biggest advantage when facing Xinye City now is not that he has a large number of troops, but that the enemy is in the open and he is in the dark. If he can now send people to sneak into Xinye City without anyone noticing, then when the time comes, he will cooperate with him internally and externally.
It is easy to take over Xinye Castle.
"promise."
Upon hearing Huang Kui's order, a school captain led civilians' clothes and roads brought by Cai Yang and started marching towards Xinye.
"Where did it come from?"
The soldiers guarding the city glanced at the man in civilian uniform holding a Caiyang road guide, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Sir, I am from Caiyang. I came to Xinye to see if there is anything I can do."
The man looked at the soldier with an honest look on his face.
"Now that Xinye is under military control, there is not so much work for you to do. I think you should just go back and forth wherever you go."
The soldier glanced at the man and couldn't help but feel doubtful. This guy didn't look like a person who was just trying to make a living.
"Sir, please let me in. I've exhausted all my food and luggage after coming from Caiyang. Even if I want to leave, I have to be busy for two days before leaving."
There was a look of pleading on the man's face.
"That's right, we all came from Caiyang to make a living, so just be generous and let us in."
"Yes, sir, you are so noble."
"Please, Brother Bing."
The soldiers who followed them here also started to make noises. They knew that if the other party insisted on not letting them enter the city, they had no choice but to ignite the matter. Only then could they complete what Huang Kui told them to sneak into Xinye City.
Task.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing what was going on here, the team leader in charge of the city gate rushed over immediately.
"Team leader, these people are all from Caiyang. They want to go to the city to find something to do, but I told them that Xinye is now under martial law and there are no jobs for them. They can come and go wherever they want. Instead of leaving, these people
, and still making noise here."
The commander directly clasped his fists to the team leader and told everything about the situation here.
"Sir, we really have no choice. It's not easy to come from Caiyang. I hope you can show mercy."
That person knew that the captain was the one in charge, so he saluted directly to the captain and begged him.
"It's really not easy coming from Caiyang. How about I help you arrange your work?"
The team leader glanced at the dozens of men in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of light, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"Team rate."
Hearing what the team leader said, the chief was immediately stunned. There was something wrong with these people at a glance. Why should they be allowed to enter the city and why should they be given jobs?
"We are all Chinese people, and it is not easy for us. I will report to you, sir."
The leader of the team pressed his hand to indicate that he understood what to do.
"I see that you are all in good shape. The military camp will require a large number of people to carry food and grass. How about you go there and help?"
The team leader glanced at those people and directly stated his arrangement.
"Um?"
The dozens of people were stunned when they heard about the team leader, and the leader also hesitated for a while. You must know that they had a mission to sneak in, in order to take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate, cooperate with Huang Kuili, and capture Xinye.
If you go to the military camp to help, you will be watched by the enemy. How can you act like this?
"What's wrong?
If you don’t want to go, just go back and forth wherever you go, you won’t be able to enter Xinye City.”
Seeing their hesitation, the team leader knew better and spoke to them.
"If you don't mean anything else, then we can just thank you, sir."
Looking at the team leader, they knew that if they didn't agree, the secret might be exposed. It didn't matter if they exposed the secret themselves, because it would be fatal to delay Huang Kui's plan.
"Qitian, take them into the military camp."
The leader of the team winked at the commander, and the other party also understood and nodded directly. He clasped his fists in salute and then headed towards the military camp with forty or fifty soldiers pretending to be civilians, Huang Kui.
"You guys just watch for now, I'll go report to the Captain right away."
"promise"
The team leader left the city gate and went directly to the school captain. When the school captain heard the news, he did not dare to neglect and took the team leader directly to see Tian Yu.
"What are you talking about, there are abnormal people coming into Xinye?"
When Tian Yu heard the captain's words, a light flashed in his eyes.
"That's right, His Majesty is currently attacking Xiangyang, and dozens of strong men suddenly came out. Their identities are indeed proved by road quotations, but I think those people don't look like ordinary farmers, but rather like soldiers. In order to prevent the enemy from being alerted, I will ask someone to lead them.
When they enter the camp, they need to take control first."
The team leader directly clasped his fists to Tian Yu to accept the order and report the news.
"What you did is right. It's interesting. It's interesting. Instruct the four gates. If they find Jingzhuang entering the city, they can be taken directly to the military camp without interrogation. Did the scouts find anything unusual?"
Tian Yu was also interested now. What the team leader said made sense. The current situation was chaotic and chaotic. Everyone was staying at home to wait for the battle to pass.
He didn't believe that someone would come so far to seek a living in Xinye, but they had Cai Yang's guide, which meant that there must have been an accident in Cai Yang, and the enemy must have some plot against Xinye.
"The scouts haven't discovered the situation yet. Are we a little unfounded?"
The captain glanced at Tian Yu, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"No, someone must have come over and ordered the scouts to explore within a fifty-mile radius."
As early as when Yuan Shu asked Tian Yu to take charge of Xinye, he did not dare to waste a moment. He has been training the young men in the city to prepare for emergencies. There are still scouts who have not left, but they have been lingering twenty miles away.
"promise."
The lieutenant clasped his fists and accepted the order, and immediately set up his position and waited to explore a fifty-mile radius according to Tian Yu's instructions.
Tian Yu's order was conveyed to the four men, and the team leaders were stunned for a moment after hearing the order, but as more and more young men from Cai Yang and Anchang Road arrived, everyone realized this
There was something fishy inside, so they were all taken to the military camp.
Until the afternoon, many of the thousand soldiers arranged by Huang Kui were all arranged into the military camp.
The quartermaster arranged jobs for each of them, but those jobs were just moving and transportation, not important jobs at all.
"Sir, something bad has happened. A wave of soldiers and horses was discovered outside the city. The number is about 50,000. They are still about 50 miles away from the city wall."
Soon the scout returned and reported what he found to Tian Yu.
"Fifty miles away, immediately close the city gates, prepare for battle, and order the best to go up the city wall. In addition, all the enemies in the military camp will be shot to death without leaving any one behind."
