Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 232 Yuan Shu's Real Purpose

Chapter 232 Yuan Shu's Real Purpose

Originally, before Yuan Shu dispatched troops, he had found out that Xiapi had more than 25 troops. If he had to rely on Jiancheng, even if he had [-] troops, he could not guarantee that he could capture Xiapi in a short time.

According to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's plan, the sooner Xiapi is laid down, the less pressure Yuan Shao will have to go north.

As long as you take down Xiapi, you can draw Ye Xiao's attention to the land of Xuzhou.

In order to give Yuan Shao some time to buffer, he defeated Gongsun Zan and regained Jizhou and Bingzhou.

Over the years, Yuan Shu has relied on the help of his advisers Yang Hong and Yan Xiang to stabilize Runan.

With the help of the war in the Central Plains, a large number of able-bodied refugees were gathered, coupled with the food and grass in Huainan, which supported the consumption of Yuan Shu's army.

"When I arrest Chen Gong's family, I want to see if Chen Gong still has that smile on his face."

Yuan Shu looked at it with a wicked smile and said.

It turned out that Yuan Shu personally led an army of 20 to besiege Xiapi.

But in fact, Yuan Shao also ordered general Ji Ling to send [-] troops to Huai Ling, so that these people could restrain the troops guarding Huai Ling and prevent Huai Ling from supporting Xiapi.

Not only that, Yuan Shu also had a group of troops under his command, which the princes of the world did not know about, they were the dead soldiers raised by the Yuan family, and the guards around Yuan Shu.

These dead men totaled more than 1 people. This time Yuan Shu followed the advice of his advisers and sent 5000 of them to rush day and night, with the goal of taking Yingchuan directly.

The so-called don't be afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it, and nothing can stand being taken seriously.

The guard of Huai Ling only had [-] soldiers and horses in his hands. It was obviously unrealistic to deploy defenses throughout Huai Ling. After discussing with his subordinates, he gave up the defense of Gaoshan County.

Concentrate all the soldiers in Huai Ling, ignoring that they have exposed the Xiapi in the west.

The attack of Yang Hong and Yan Xiang was based on the retreat of the defenders of Huai Ling.

Fifty miles to the east of Chen Jun, there are dense forests, which is the best place to hide soldiers.

At this time, He Weiyi lived in seclusion with five thousand soldiers, and set off again when night fell. Their ultimate goal was Yingchuan.

It sounds crazy at first, but it is not difficult to find the effect of its success after careful consideration.

Yingchuan, since Chen Gong took refuge in Ye Xiao, his family moved there.

Not only that, Yingchuan is also Ye Xiao's foundation, and all his family members are in Yingchuan.

And after Ye Xiao occupied Xuzhou, he successively transferred soldiers from Yingchuan and other places to various places in Xuzhou to defend against Yuan Shao and others.

At this time, the entire Yingchuan can be said to be empty.

Even if these 5000 people did not kill Chen Gong and Ye Xiao's family members, the chaos they caused in the rear was enough to shock Ye Xiao for a while.

Maybe Ye Xiao would panic because of this and end up being defeated.

In September, He Weiyi finally approached Yingchuan gradually.

In the past month, He Weiyi led [-] dead men to shuttle between the mountains and forests, causing them to be ragged, with scruffy beards and emaciated faces.

Looking at the soldiers following again, only 3000 of them made it to the outside of Yingchuan City.

The remaining people either contracted diseases and died on the road, or did not keep up with the team and lost their way in the wilderness.

Just when He Weiyi had just arrived at the foot of Yingchuan City, the Battle of Xiapi finally started.

Strangely, it was not Yuan Shu who sent troops first, but Chen Gong.

"Yuan Shu is stationed outside the city and has not attacked the city until today. There must be fraud."

"In the past few days, the guards have discovered that the enemy troops outside the city are not vigilant, so I plan to send people to attack Yuan Shu's barracks. Although Yuan Shu cannot be repelled by this trip, it is very good to be able to take him down. I don't know who Willing to go?"

Chen Gong in Xiapi gathered everyone together to discuss.

After Chen Gong finished speaking, there was a "buzzing" discussion sound in the room.

Many of them thought that if the 20 army went forward to make a sneak attack, they would be like sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and they thought Chen Gong was crazy.

But these people are only a minority, and they have never had much say in Xiapi.

Ye Yong was the happiest person to hear this.

After several years of polishing, Ye Yong has become more stable.

Although the martial arts is not very high, but barely squeezed into the first-class threshold, far behind Zhao Yun and others.

But for military generals, military achievements represent wealth, high position and weight, and service to the Ming Lord.

For many years, Ye Yong first followed Yue Fei, and later Ye Xiao let him garrison Huai Ling, and was transferred back by Chen Gong before the Xiapi battle.

Although Ye Xiao valued Ye Yong very much, otherwise he would not have let him follow Yue Fei.

But because of Ye Yong's humble background and not much credit, Ye Yong has always felt ashamed of Ye Xiao, and sometimes even felt that Ye Xiao had neglected Ye Yong unintentionally, and Ye Yong felt that it was because his credit was too small.

Although Ye Xiao didn't have such an idea at all.

At this time, Yuan Shubing's entry into Xuzhou happened to be his chance to prove himself, which is why he was so excited.

"The military advisor is right. With Yuan Shu's temperament, if he is in the tent, the formation must be known to everyone in the city? I guess Yuan Shao must not be there."

Although he spoke very modestly, it is not difficult to hear from Ye Yong's tone that he is very confident

"I am willing to lead ten thousand cavalry to attack Yuan Shu's camp!"

Ye Yong said loudly.

At this time, even those who usually look down on Ye Yong and think that Ye Yong made his fortune through connections cast admiring glances one after another.

20 is worth [-], this is not something anyone can do, dare to do!

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll stay in the city and wait for the general to come back to celebrate."

The reason why Chen Gong did this is because in his opinion, Xiapi is now on the right track with great difficulty.

If Yuan Shu spends so much, even if Yuan Shu retreats, Xiapi City will probably have to be rebuilt, which is not what Chen Gong wants.

And because of Yuan Shu's siege, many people in Xiapi City began to commotion at this time.

One must know that Ye Xiao ruled Xuzhou for only one year.

The common people have not completely surrendered, but many yellow turban generals in the old part of the yellow turbans who have gathered are wavering in their minds.

After all, with an army of 20 at the door, anyone has to think about it.

Chen Gong is Chen Gong, he has a plan in mind and no longer hesitates, very resolute.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he needs a victory. This war must be fought.

At night, the gate to the south of the city was quietly opened, the starry sky was not bright, and the night provided cover for the army.

Ye Yong was very familiar with the area around Xiapi. Under Ye Yong's command, the army in light armor quietly crossed the moat and went straight to Yuan Shu's army.

On the way, Ye Yong ordered his lieutenants Xue Yuanlong and Mu Zhengye to lead [-] troops each to lurk on both sides of Yuan Shu's tent.

Ye Yong also knew in his heart that this 20 army was not enough for Yuan Shu to beat Yuan Shu's [-] troops.

So he had a plan in his mind. When he arrived outside Xiapi City, Ye Yong found that Yuan Shu's military tent was covered with traps. People went out of the city to attack.

"General, the two generals sent someone to report that everything is ready."
