Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

However, Xu Chu changed his tone at this time, and said with some concern: "Although the tunnel is secret, it is not spacious because it is prepared for the escape of the master. War horses, there are some corners where the spears in General Zhang’s hands can’t fit.”

Zhang Xiu shook his head helplessly, he knew that this credit was not for him.

Li Yi also restrained his initial joy, and asked, "Are there any other difficulties?"

"some."

Xu Chu continued: "For the sake of escape, the water room is next to the bedroom of the main house. If there is any movement, the people in front can detect it, and for the convenience of concealment and escape, there are a lot of dry grass and firewood piled up there. As long as the firewood is burned Then, the exit of the tunnel can be covered by the fire, and the people in the tunnel can’t come out naturally.”

"Well"

Li Yi frowned slightly. He has found many examples of wars since he traveled through time. It is a good way to attack the city through tunnels, but the risk is also not small. Once the opponent finds out too early, it will be a death.

So, Li Yi looked at Kuai Yue, and now is the time to use him.

Kuai Yue naturally understood what Li Yi meant. He first looked at Xu Chu and asked, "In your opinion, how likely is it that Zhang Ying's temporary residence is near the exit of the tunnel?"

Xu Chu replied very simply: "Ninety percent, Zhuangzi's house is the best."

Kuai Yue nodded, and then said: "It's troublesome for Zhang Ying to live there, but it's also convenient."

Li Yi asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Kuai Yue said with a smile: "The courtyard where Zhang Ying is located must be the most heavily guarded, but as long as Zhang Ying leaves, it will also be the most lax place in the entire Xujiazhuang. Therefore, as long as one or two arrangements are made in advance to lure him out, the rest It's that simple."

Li Yi praised: "Sure enough, he is a military adviser. Could it be that he has already made comprehensive arrangements?"

Kuai Yue said modestly: "It's just a general idea, the right should be used to attract jade, and the specific plan needs to be made up by the lord."

Kuai Yue walked slowly in front of a simple map and said: "My lord, if you want to take Xujiazhuang, you must divide your troops into at least three ways. One of them is to sneak into Xujiazhuang through tunnels. Second, use a small number of troops to feint to attack Xujiazhuang, and draw the troops, especially Zhang Ying himself, to the periphery to create opportunities for the first team."

"The third is to prevent Kong Rong from sending troops to support Xujiazhuang. The more I think, since there is a tunnel that can be used as a surprise attack, Xujiazhuang is already within easy reach for the lord, so the real key to this battle is not Xujiazhuang, but how to completely defeat Qiao County reinforcements!"

"Kong Rong is already afraid of the lord, and considering the current strength of the city, if Kong Rong rescues, at least half of the troops will be dispatched, that is, seven to eight thousand people. If the lord can take this opportunity to eat up this reinforcement, even if the lord does not use his hands Even Kong Rong can't last for a few days."

Chapter 651

Li Yi nodded his head heavily, and he took what Kuai Yue said deeply, so he asked again: "Then how should we eat Kong Rong's reinforcements?"

Kuai Yue cupped his hands in embarrassment, and said apologetically, "My lord, please forgive me. It depends on how Kong Rong responds to this matter. Although my subordinates have some speculations, their talents are limited, and they cannot be safe for the time being."

Li Yi smiled casually, and didn't mind, but instead praised: "Military division cannot be humble, such a strategy has already surpassed me too much."

What Li Yi said was sincere. A strategy or tactic is seldom done by one person. What can be done is a genius. Now Kuai Yue has proposed the theme idea, and let everyone repair the rest together. It's a very normal thing.

Kuai Yue handed over again, and then Li Yi looked at the others and asked, "What do you guys think about this?"

Zhang Xiu felt that Li Yi seemed to have glanced at him again, probably to encourage him, and was about to express his opinion immediately, but at this moment, a personal guard walked in quickly and said to Li Yi: "My lord, outsiders from the camp Please see me, claiming to be Taishi Ci's personal guard."

"Tai Shici?"

Li Yi's voice was very unexpected. Tai Shici just shot him with an arrow, and yet he dared to send someone to see him. Is it possible that he has revenge?

But Li Yi immediately noticed the strangeness. Before he scolded Kong Rong like that, he didn't see Tai Shici showing up. This is obviously abnormal. It may be the effect of his alienation. Tai Shici should be suspected and excluded by Kong Rong , and was even detained.

So, now someone who claims to be Tai Shici came to see him, which is very interesting.

Li Yi was obviously not the only one who thought of this at the scene. For example, Lu Su, Huang Zhong, and the others showed anger at the beginning after hearing the name of Tai Shici. smile.

Li Yi looked around and said with a smile: "If it's not bad, Kong Rong may use the name of Tai Shici to feign surrender, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack on me. Hehe, I was still thinking about how to plot against him, but now Kong Rong sent it to me by himself." I can only reluctantly accept the handle."

Kuai Yue complimented at the right time: "Your Majesty is as blessed as heaven, this is exactly God's will for you to take Yuzhou!"

Although Kuai Yue's words were flattery, but the weight of this flattery was not ordinary, everyone was in a state of mind, and said in unison: "Congratulations, my lord!"

Li Yi laughed and said: "No hurry, no hurry, this matter should be dealt with cautiously, well, Zijing is kind, let Zijing meet the visitor and determine his purpose, the rest is up to you .”

Speaking of both ends, after Li Yi left, Kong Rong encountered the abuse of the dozen or so assassins who were full of desire to survive.

Although those assassins were not as vicious as Li Yi scolded, tearing Kong Rong's face from various angles, but they had no scruples, and they really didn't care what they said, as long as it made Kong Rong unhappy, they didn't care. True or false, they all greeted Kong Rong.

It was the first time that Kong Rong had encountered such a thing in most of his life, he was scolded in the blink of an eye and lost his mind, he hurriedly withdrew to the governor's mansion, lying on the bed panting heavily.

Although he was bedridden, the matter was not delayed. Kong Rong did not forget to urge Wang Xiu to send someone to contact Li Yi under the guise of Tai Shici.

Kong Rong didn't want to wait any longer. If Li Yi treated him like this, if he couldn't kill Li Yi to vent his anger, he might be angry to death before the city was broken.

Liu Yao and the others did not stop this, because not only Kong Rong was impatient, but also the soldiers in Yuzhou couldn't afford to wait.

Although Kong Rong lost face in today's verbal confrontation, the impact on Yuzhou's military spirit was also fatal.

If you want to win a war, as a coach, you must have momentum and be tough enough. Even if you know you can't beat it, you have to make the soldiers think they can beat it. But Kong Rong is too far behind Li Yi. It has become a joke. In this case, don't let Kong Rong inspire the morale of the army. It is good if there are no deserters.

Liu Yao knew that the morale of the army in Yuzhou had been dissipated, and there was still no chaos. It was because the soldiers hadn't recovered from their senses. If something goes wrong again and again, the situation will get worse.

Therefore, if they want to find a chance to win, they must do something as soon as possible, before the morale of the army is completely dissipated.

Even Liu Yao didn't want to defeat Li Yi, as long as he could take advantage of it a little bit and stabilize people's hearts.

However, what made Liu Yao and Kong Rong uneasy was that the person they arranged had been there for a long time, but there was no news back. Even Kong Rong doubted whether the person would rebel, but Wang Xiu reassured him again and again. That person was his relative, Kong Rong was a little relieved.

Kong Rong waited like this, and when the messenger hadn't returned in the afternoon, there was movement on Li Yi's side first. More than 500 cavalry came out of the camp and began to "clean up" the area between Xujiazhuang and Qiao County. The soldiers arranged by Kong Rong outside did not dare to confront Li Yi's cavalry, and retreated into the city one after another. The connection between Xujiazhuang and Qiao County was easily cut off.

This sudden change made Kong Rong and others nervous again. Kong Rong hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss matters, discussing whether to arrange a small group of soldiers to fight Li Yi for a while, or to wait and see what happened.

Then they waited until it was dark, but Kong Rong didn't come to a conclusion after discussing it. Instead, he waited for Wang Xiu's relative to come back.

Kong Rong was very straightforward this time, and personally summoned the man in front of him for questioning.

But after meeting, Kong Rong's complexion sank, because the messenger's complexion was ruddy and smelled of alcohol, obviously he had drunk a lot.

The messenger was a clever man. Seeing Kong Rong's displeasure, he quickly explained: "The messenger entered Li Yi's camp. Although he didn't encounter difficulties at first, he was not trusted. People keep persuading people to drink, trying to verify the authenticity of their subordinates' words after drinking, so the subordinates smell of alcohol, not drinking for pleasure, please enlighten me."

Kong Rong was not unreasonable, and immediately his face softened, and he said with relief: "Going deep into the tiger's den, your trip is really not easy, and you should be rewarded later."

The messenger hurriedly said: "It is the duty of the subordinates to serve the emperor."

Kong Rong nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Tell me, how is Li Yi's situation?"

"Here!"

The messenger responded, and said: "After entering Li Yi's camp, I didn't see Li Yi. The person who met my subordinate was his chief bookkeeper, whose name was Lu Su, and his style name was Zijing."

Kong Rong frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "Nobody."

Liu Yao was a little dissatisfied with Kong Rong's idea. What happened to the unknown man? Li Yi was also an unknown man at the beginning, but what about him now?

But at this time, Liu Yao didn't want to argue with Kong Rong, so he simply asked Kong Rong, "Then what?"
