Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 102 Planning the Spirit Wall
Ji Ling went to the city wall every morning to inspect Ye Xiao's barracks. After a few days, Ye Xiao's barracks practiced as usual every day.

From a distance, many people in Ye Xiao's army were still practicing the tactics of attacking the city with the ladder and shield.

"Hmph! Grinding his spear before the battle, this Ye Xiao is nothing but a vain name."

Ji Ling thought to himself, looking at the smoke and dust billowing from the military camp in the distance, the calmness of the past few days made Ji Ling a little relaxed.

"Is Ye Xiaojun doing anything these days? Especially at night."

Ji Ling asked the superintendent of the scout battalion, the superintendent had been guarding the tower, and the scout horse in his hand also quietly went out to monitor the situation of Ye Xiao's barracks, day and night.

So he patted his chest and promised, "General, Ye Xiaojun drills every day, and there is no mobilization of soldiers and horses. It's just that a large number of convoys have brought supplies from the north in the past two days."

Ji Ling knew that Ye Xiao was constantly transporting grain and grass in the direction of Xiapi, so he had never thought of sneak attacks on the logistics route.

Just because there are less than [-] cavalry in hand, Ye Xiaojun will definitely pay attention to their movements and will not be able to make a silent detour.

"Keep watching, and if there is any news, ring the bell to warn." Ji Ling set up a big bell in the city, and the bell would ring to warn Ye Xiao of any movement.

"Don't worry, general! I'll watch even if a fly flies in!" the scout superintendent said loudly.

Ji Ling nodded in satisfaction. If this continues, he can gradually take the initiative because of Ye Xiao's consumption in the field.

While the two were talking, a carrier pigeon fell from the sky in the backyard of Zhang's family in the city. Because the Zhang family's house is not small, no one else knew about the selection of carrier pigeons going back and forth.

After reading the secret letter, Zhang Hong learned about Ye Xiaoxin's plan.

Zhang Hong exhaled slightly, and asked his two sons to explain in a low voice.

"Is there any progress in what you were asked to do a few days ago?"

Henry Zhang nodded and said: "The brothers who have had friendship with me in the city have contacted 17 people, and now they are all arranged to track the movements of other gentry."

"Qiao Xu and Ji Ling's contacts are getting more and more frequent. The others seem to be inclined to Ji Ling's side because the lord has not moved in the past two days. Father, when will the lord act?"

Zhang Hong pondered slightly: "The more this is the case, the more you need to hold your breath. If the people you usually associate with don't know the basics, you must pay attention, and you must not take it lightly and reveal the master's plan, understand?"

Henry Zhang was a little dissatisfied. He trusted these brothers from the bottom of his heart, but he did not dare to take Zhang Hong's orders lightly.

"Don't worry, father, I just asked them to inquire about the news, saying that it is to see how other people choose, as a reference for our Zhang family team."

"That's right, let's confuse the eyes and ears in the city first, and don't reveal the fact that our Zhang family has joined Master Ye before the time comes."

Zhang Hong looked at Zhang Jing and asked expectantly, "How about the contact with Chen Lan on behalf of the master?"

Zhang Jing frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "The boy spent a lot of money these days, and finally got someone to contact Chen Lan."

"It's just that Chen Lan doesn't seem to trust us and almost arrested my people as spies. This Chen Lan drinks alcohol every day in the army. I don't know what the lord wants to do with him."

Zhang Hong continued to ask: "Alcoholism? Does Chen Lan like drinking?"

"No, father, the servants reported that Chen Lan's mental state is not good, probably because his best friend Lei Bo was captured." Zhang Jing thought for a while and gave his own judgment.

"Then things will be simple. I'll ask the lord to send Lei Bo's token, and Chen Lan will probably let down his guard against us."

Zhang Jing nodded in agreement: "If the lord can send in Lei Bo's token, then we have a chance!"

The father and son discussed the details, and sent news to Ye Xiao again through the carrier pigeon.

Ji Ling sat firmly in Guangling City, thinking that everything was safe, but loopholes began to appear in the city.

The bigger loophole is that Gao Shun Mi Fang and Lu Bu's 6000 people have quietly left the boundaries of Guangling through a logistics convoy and approached Lingbi City.

Liao Hua has been guarding Lingbi City for quite some time.

At the beginning, he deliberately left a loophole to lure Liang Gang, but Liang Gang sent a small group of troops to test it out at the beginning.

So the two sides fought back and forth, fighting under Lingbi City like acting.

Then Ji Ling's death order came, dispelling Liao Hua's initial plan to feign attack and defeat.

Liao Hua's 3000 men tried to attack Lingbi City twice, but they were strongly counterattacked by the defenders commanded by Liang Gang.

After Liao Hua suffered hundreds of casualties, he found that he had left so many loopholes that Liang Gang refused to send anyone out of the city to pursue him.

In the end, Liao Hua had no choice but to send someone to inform Ye Xiao, explaining that his plan for troops on the right was ruined and more support was needed to attack the city.

"General, my lord has sent reinforcements. General Lu said that my lord has an order not to disturb Liang Gang in the city. Please move to the rear to discuss matters."

Liao Hua was overjoyed, he quickly led a few guards on horseback and went out the back door.

Liang Gang routinely watched Liao Huajun's barracks gate which was full of flaws on the city tower.

"Hmph! You want to trick me into leaving the city and then ambush me? Liao Hua, you will probably be disappointed this time."

At the same time Liang Gang received the order, he also saw Liao Hua's plan, and clapped his hands with some complacency.

"This Liao Hua is probably going to scare us into retreating again today. Do you think the strategy of tiring the troops will work for me?"

Liang Gang sneered, turned around and sent an order: "Notify everyone, according to the plan, half of the people will take off their armor and rest. Today is Duwei Yang's turn to be on duty. If Liao Hua comes to test again, just shoot the arrow to scare the opponent away."

In the forest about five miles outside Lingbi City, Lu Bu's [-] cavalry had already dismounted, and Gao Shun and Mi Fang were stationed on the spot, maintaining a state of silence as a whole.

Liao Hua was riding a horse. Seeing such a large group of troops, even the trapped camp and Lu Bu's cavalry, he felt a little anxious.

This is the rhythm for Ye Xiao to really attack Lingbi City.

"General, you guys are here! These days, Lao Liao, I have been suffocating. Did the lord order to break the Lingbi City? You must let me attack the city first, I am the vanguard!"

Liao Hua got off his horse and shouted at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and Mi Fang with an expression that I had won, and said with a smile.

"Isn't that right, I told you two, Yuan Jian will definitely rush to be the pioneer."

Gao Shun smiled wryly, expressing Ye Xiao's plan directly.

"The lord strictly ordered that we must take down the Lingbi as soon as possible when we come here. Before Ji Ling can react, we will set up an ambush on the mountain road through Lingbi City to consume Ji Ling's strength. At the same time, if there is a chance, General Lu's cavalry will copy it." Cut off Ji Ling's supply line from Jiujiang from the rear."

Liao Hua slapped his thigh and praised, "My lord is really clever, so Guangling will be defeated by itself!"

Lu Bu nodded and said: "That's right, so Ji Ling can't let Ji Ling see that we have moved here. We must quickly take down the Lingbi. My lord said that I want to fight down the Lingbi, so let the trapped camp take the lead." .”

The camp was the most elite soldier in Ye Xiao's infantry, but Liao Hua heard it and jumped up to object.

"No! I think I have the highest success rate in attacking the city without troops."
