Three Kingdoms King of the North

But what happened next made Qianzhao secretly heave a sigh of relief.After the soldiers and horses assembled on the street, they turned around and headed towards the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Seeing that Yuan Shao's ambush at the north gate had withdrawn, Qianzhao and Feng Li began to secretly discuss the matter of welcoming Han Zhan into the city.Qianzhao asked in a low voice: "How many available people do you have under your command?"

Feng Li thought for a while, and then replied: "There are more than twenty people who are absolutely reliable confidantes."

After hearing this, Qianzhao nodded and said: "With the thirty or so confidantes under my command, it should be more than enough."

"Zijing," Feng Li heard Qianzhao say this, and couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you going to do?"

"When the ugly day comes tomorrow, we will open the city gate to welcome Han Tinghou into the city." Qianzhao didn't know whether Yan Liangchou's soldiers and horses were really withdrawing or if they were pretending to withdraw, so he decided to send all the soldiers guarding the gate when he opened the gate. Change to my own people to avoid unexpected changes, "If you and my confidantes guard the city gate, we will not be afraid of any changes. We only need to hold on for a stick of incense before Han Tinghou's soldiers and horses will enter the city. "

Besides, in the camp of Jizhou outside the city, Han Zhan was chatting with Guo Jia.He asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, you said that our army will besiege Yecheng on all sides, so will you be able to make Qianzhao and Feng Li not disagree?"

"That's right," Guo Jia nodded and said, "If our army has not besieged Yecheng for a long time, Qianzhao and Feng Li may be in charge of contacting us in private, and Yuan Shao will find out and change course. Wait until the agreed At that time, our soldiers and horses quietly went outside the city. They suddenly regretted not opening the city gate, or after opening the city gate, they set a trap inside. At that time, we may be defeated. Although thousands of troops were lost, It is indispensable for the vitality of our army, but it will lead to low morale."

While the two were talking, Xun You came in from the outside.After saluting to Han Zhan, he said with a worried face: "My lord, I found that the troops in the outer city of Ximen are all Yuan Shao's old troops. If they are instigated by others, they may mutiny."

"Gongda is too worried." As soon as Xun You finished speaking, Guo Jia retorted: "The soldiers and horses outside the west were all persuaded by the Jujian army to submit to the lord, so how could they rebel against Yuan Benchu. "

"Even if they won't rebel again," Xun You said worriedly, "If Yuan Benchu ​​fled from Ximen when we broke the city, do you think these old ministries will stop him?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he chuckled, gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and said to Xun You: "Actually, letting Yuan Benchu ​​escape is not a bad thing."

"What, letting Yuan Benchu ​​escape is still a good thing?" Xun You was a little puzzled by Guo Jia's statement.But after a while, he figured out the joints, and was immediately happy, saying repeatedly: "So, so it is! Feng Xiao is really a good strategy, Xun has been taught."

Han Zhan thought to himself: At that time, Guo Jia strongly advocated that after Jushou persuaded the soldiers and horses in the surrounding cities to surrender, let them camp outside the west gate.I was still puzzled at first, but after listening to Guo Jiayi's explanation, I found that it was the same reason as Zhuge Liang asked Guan Erye to follow Huarong Road.Therefore, he agreed to his arrangement without hesitation.

When Han Zhan and the others were silent, they raised their heads and asked Xun You, "Cousin Gongda, is there any news from the city?"

Xun You shook his head and said: "The four gates are closed tightly, and the city is surrounded by a cloud of guards. The spies we sent cannot approach the city at all. Therefore, the situation in the city is unknown to the subordinates."

"Don't worry." Guo Jia said confidently: "When the future is ugly, we only need to send a team to the north gate to see if the city gate is open, and then we will know whether Qianzhao and Feng Li are sincerely relying on us."

Feng Ji in the city was shocked when he learned that the city was surrounded by Jizhou soldiers and horses.Don't look at him in front of Yuan Shao, saying that Yecheng will be fine if he sticks to it for half a year, but when the situation comes to an end, he panics.He went to the top of the city himself, wandered around with a few soldiers, and secretly checked if there were any loopholes to exploit.

When he turned to the west gate, he saw from a distance that the battle robes on the soldiers on duty outside the camp gate were exactly the same as those of the defenders inside the city.He frowned and thought: Why do these soldiers wear the same shirts as the defenders in the city?Where did this Han family kid get so many shirts?

While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a soldier next to him say: "Hey, look, the soldiers standing guard outside the gate, aren't they big bulls from the neighboring village?"

Another soldier looked in that direction for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's Daniel. Isn't he a dirty city? Why did he appear outside the city?"

"Does it need to be said?" The soldier who spoke at the beginning whispered: "It must be that the guards of the dirty city have defected to the Jizhou army, so they will appear here."

Hearing this, Feng Ji grabbed the soldier's arm and asked, "Is what you said just now true?"

The soldier replied in a panic: "I don't dare to lie to Chang Shi. Among the soldiers outside the gate over there, there is a small fellow. He was originally stationed in the dirty city, but he never expected to see him here."

The words of the guards gave Feng Ji an idea. Instead of wandering around the city wall, he led the guards down the city wall and walked along the street towards the State Shepherd's Mansion.

He walked into the meeting room, saw Yuan Shao sitting there alone in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "This subordinate has seen the lord!"

"It's Yuan Tu." Yuan Shao heard someone talking, looked up and saw that it was Feng Ji, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, and said weakly: "Sit down and talk."

After Feng Ji sat down, he asked Yuan Shao knowingly: "My lord seems to have something on my mind, I wonder if I can tell you a little bit, so that my subordinate can share your worries?"

"Yecheng is besieged on all sides," Yuan Shao said with a mournful face, "The surrounding cities must have been captured by soldiers from Jizhou, and now Yecheng has become an isolated city."

Feng Ji quickly comforted him and said, "My lord, don't worry. If Yecheng cannot be defended, we can abandon the city and leave."

"There are soldiers and horses from Jizhou on all sides, where are we going?" Yuan Shao said angrily.

"This subordinate just went to patrol the city." In order to leave a good impression on Yuan Shao, Feng Ji described his investigation of the escape route as patrolling the city and inspecting the terrain: "I found that the garrison outside the west gate is the old lord .”

Hearing what Feng Ji said, Yuan Shao's eyes widened in surprise: "What, this general's old department?"

"That's right, it's your old department." Seeing Yuan Shao's puzzled expression, Feng Ji quickly explained to him: "They are all guards from other cities in Wei County, and they probably were bewitched by the children of the Han family, so they changed their banners one after another. Rebel."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he slammed the table, stood up and said angrily: "These gangsters, why did Yuan Tu mention them?"

"My lord, please calm down." Feng Ji quickly got up and said to Yuan Shao: "These people may have some unavoidable reasons for returning to Jizhou. Please don't blame them, my lord. I have an idea, I want to meet these guards overnight Let's see if we can convince them anyway, so we can add tens of thousands of new troops to Yecheng."

"Convince them anyway?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard Feng Ji's words, but the expression in his eyes quickly dimmed: "No, if they don't want to anyway, and take you as a hostage, what's the matter?" What should I do?"

"My lord, this subordinate thinks so." Feng Ji leaned close to Yuan Shao's ear and whispered, "Even if they don't want to go anyway, this subordinate must find a way to convince them that once Yecheng cannot be defended, let us Make a way."

Yuan Shao was originally depressed because Yecheng had become an isolated city. Now that he heard Fengji say that he could find a way to escape, hope was rekindled in his heart, and he hurriedly urged Fengji: "Yuan Tu, if this is the case, then Just hurry up and pack up, and then go outside the city immediately."

"My lord, don't be in a hurry." Seeing Yuan Shao urging him to leave the city immediately, Feng Ji said to him, "Going out of the city at this time is easy to be noticed by others. It's better to wait until after dark before the subordinates sneak into the camp and go to the camp. Convince those generals."

"Even if they won't rebel again," Xun You said worriedly, "If Yuan Benchu ​​fled from Ximen when we broke the city, do you think these old ministries will stop him?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he chuckled, gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and said to Xun You: "Actually, letting Yuan Benchu ​​escape is not a bad thing."
