"Then send a team of dead soldiers into the city, hold fire as a sign in the middle of the night, cooperate with the inside and outside, open the city gate, and the army will rush in!"

"Yecheng has been under martial law for a long time, and outsiders can't get in at all. Even if they get in by chance, they may not be able to cooperate with the inside and outside. They are strictly guarding against it day and night!"

……

"This won't work, and that won't work. You have to think of a way. Why don't you contact the nobles in the city and ask them to help the Fourth Highness?"

"The gentry in Yecheng, headed by the Zhen family, one of their daughters is Mrs. Sima, and the other is the queen of Cao Zihuan. Do you think they will help His Royal Highness?"

The civil and military officials talked a lot, and put forward seven or eight solutions in a row, but unfortunately they couldn't help deliberating, and the time was relatively tight, so there was nothing they could do, so they could only attack by force.

Although Cao Zhi has [-] soldiers and horses, most of them have just been assembled, lack of training, lack of armaments, and storming the heavily defended fortified city, I am afraid there is no chance of winning!

It's been less than a month since the incident, and the people inside are not stable. Once they suffer a big defeat, they may fall apart in an instant, and it will be difficult to unite again.

"When I was in Xuchang, my fifth brother often asked my brother-in-law about the art of war. Do you have any tricks to break the city?"

"Fourth brother was joking. My younger brother is stupid by nature. Although I have asked my brother-in-law about the art of war, I haven't learned any skills. How dare I show my shame indiscriminately. It is this Mr. Taiqing who analyzes the situation thoroughly and penetratingly. I think there must be a way to break the city!"

"Oh, if Mr. Taiqing has a clever plan, please tell it quickly, so that everyone will not have to worry about it!"

When it comes to reciting poems and composing Fu, Cao Zhi dared to claim to be the third in the world (father first, brother-in-law second), but when it comes to arranging troops, his level is relatively average, so he had to ask Cao Xiong around him, who was in the prime minister's house When he was young, he also practiced martial arts day and night and studied the art of war!

Unexpectedly, Cao Xiong spread his arms, expressing that he was not good at learning and had no good strategy, so he pushed the problem to Yang Xiu.

The rest of the civil and military officials also kept their eyes on Mr. Taiqing as their last hope. As the strategist of the Fourth Highness, he must have a strategy in mind and a good plan in his belly, right?

"Thanks to the attention of the two Highnesses, but there is a way to take Yecheng in one fell swoop.

His Royal Highness, please lead the troops of the headquarters, continue to advance westward with great fanfare, and after capturing Yangping County, attack Yecheng from the east. It is best to draw out the main force of the defenders and fight against them in the wild!

At the same time, His Royal Highness led the main force, lowered their flags and drums, and marched day and night, heading north through Anping County, Julu County, and Guangping County, detouring to the north of Yecheng, and quietly ambush in the mountains!

When the defenders leave the city for a decisive battle and the city defenses are relatively empty, the main force suddenly rushes out, cutting off the defenders' retreat and taking the city with lightning speed. As long as the arrangements are careful, there should be more than [-]% chance of winning!

After taking Yecheng, His Royal Highness chooses a good day and auspicious day to worship heaven and become king at Tongque Terrace. The four prefectures in Hebei can be passed on to decide, and if they go south to fight for the world, why not worry about the big event? "

Yang Xiu's strategy can be described as superb, one link is closely linked to the other, avoiding the truth and attacking the false, which is in line with the deceitful way of military strategists!

But it is also quite ruthless. This is to use Cao Xiong's men and horses as bait to attract the prey. Regardless of the final success or failure, the bait is in danger of being swallowed!

It turned out that Yang Xiu still had great doubts about Cao Xiong in his heart, because he thought about it and weighed the pros and cons, and the Fifth Highness had no reason to rebel?

Cao Xiong is the youngest son of the direct line. No matter which elder brother becomes the king or the emperor, he will be a prince. Why should he take risks and participate in the rebellion... unless he has greater ambitions and is unwilling to just be a prince. A vassal king!

This matter has to be guarded against, so while attacking Yecheng, let Cao Xiong lead the team to fight a tough battle, so as to damage his elite troops. If a person has no strength, he will have no ambition, lest after the rebellion succeeds, he will Then compete with Cao Zhi for the position!

"Avoiding the real and attacking the false is indeed a clever plan. I wonder if the fifth younger brother is willing to take on the heavy responsibility?"

"As long as the city of Ye is taken down, on the day Brother Yu sacrifices to heaven and proclaims himself king, you will be established as the king's younger brother, and the country and the country will be shared, and the society will have a share!"

Cao Zhi may not have understood Yang Xiu's good intentions, but he has also read several articles on the art of war, and he knows that being a bait is a dangerous thing. He is worried that Cao Xiong will refuse to send troops, or he will not work hard, so he mentions "Wang Taidi" Promise of!

The inheritance of the emperor's position is either inherited from father to son, or from brother to brother. Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong and his wife are brothers and sisters. It is also in line with ancient etiquette and law to make the latter the heir.

In this way, Cao Xiong is not fighting for others, but fighting for the world for himself. Naturally, he will do his best and fight bravely!

"The younger brother who comes to join the alliance, first inherits the legacy of the former king, and secondly assists the elder brother's great cause, and goes to the battle to fight, it is obligatory. As for the matter of the king's younger brother, it is not too late to discuss it later!

However, there are 3 defenders in Yecheng, and the younger brother only has [-] troops. The disparity in strength is too great. Can the elder brother dispatch troops and horses to make the younger brother more courageous? "

Cao Xiong didn't refuse, but made a "reasonable request", that is, to increase his troops, otherwise, it would be too dangerous to attack Yecheng with 3 people, and it would be difficult to attract all the defenders!

"Well, my brother is right, 3 horses are indeed thinner, and it is difficult to create a big momentum!

Brother Yu allocated another 3 troops to fill the ranks of the good brothers. With such an army of [-], it was enough to take Yangping County and attack the east side of Yecheng!

The situation is tense and there is no need to delay. I hope that my brother will send troops quickly! "

……

"Fifth Brother, don't worry, little brother will leave tomorrow morning!"

Cao Zhi pondered for a while, agreed to the request to divide the troops, and also agreed with Cao Xiong on the time for dispatching troops. The latter readily agreed, received the soldier talisman, and received the soldiers and horses!

Yang Xiu wanted to stop him, but it was too late, and there was no good excuse, since he wanted the horse to run, he had to let the horse graze, right?

After discussing properly, each returned to the camp to prepare!

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Xiong led an army of [-] and marched westward in a mighty manner. He also unfurled the banners of Linzihou and Xiaohuaihou, making a joint march to confuse the eyes of the outside world!

And in the evening, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu led the remaining 7 horses, quietly left Ganling City, and under the cover of thick night, hurried all the way north...

Hungry food and thirsty, Xiao Xing overnight, 7 horses marched quickly, passing through Qinghe County, Anping County, Julu County... and then turned around and marched south, and finally arrived near Julu City after eight days. There are no obstacles in the city, but there are many people who open the city and surrender.

Julu City - is a battleground for military strategists. As long as it occupies this place, the army can advance to attack, retreat to defend, and can replenish some ordnance, food, grass, and soldiers. Therefore, after discussing with Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu, they decided to seize Julu first. Attack Ye City again!

But when the troops were dispatched, a ranger suddenly reported: "The defenders of Julu City have come out in full force, blocking the road ahead!"

Chapter 1614 One man wins all armies!

In the 16th year of Jian'an, March 28th-early morning, in the land of giant deer, foggy and confused!

"How many soldiers and horses are blocking the road, and who is the general?"

"Reporting to the Fourth Highness: There are about 7000 to [-] troops, all of whom are local soldiers, postmen, government servants, etc. near Julu City, and there is no sign of the general!"

"Haha, thousands of miscellaneous soldiers dare to fight against my [-] army. Could it be that they have eaten the hearts of bears and leopards?"

Hearing that there were soldiers and horses blocking the way, Cao Zhi was taken aback at first, but when he learned about the strength of the opponent, he looked up to the sky and laughed, thinking that the enemy was outnumbered and there was nothing to worry about.

However, Cao Zhi apparently forgot that more than 400 years ago, in the place of Julu, Xiang Yu led tens of thousands of Chu soldiers and defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, killing corpses like mountains and blood flowing like rivers!

It also confirms a famous saying: "There are not many soldiers, but the ears of people." The wisdom and courage of the commander are also one of the important factors that determine victory or defeat!

"This battle is a matter of life and death. Your Highness must not underestimate the enemy. What's more, it's so foggy today that you can't see the surrounding situation clearly. It's better to be cautious!"

Yang Xiu stepped forward to persuade them, the army rushed all the way, passing through many cities, the defenders either obediently raised their hands and surrendered, or closed the city gates to guard, no one dared to come out to intercept it!

Julu City is an important town in the south of Jizhou. I thought there would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect that the opponent would not defend the city, and instead took the initiative to fight. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. If the defender of Julu is not mad, he will definitely If you have something to hold on to, how can you dare to face an army of [-] with thousands of miscellaneous soldiers?

According to the information, there are no generals in Julu City, only a few partial generals, and it is really unclear who led the troops out of the city to fight.

"Mr. is right. Zijian has lost his composure. Da Sima also taught him: a lion fights a rabbit, and he does his best, not to mention the life and death of the army?

Order the entire army to form a circular formation, advance slowly in a dense formation, and then send out several teams of rangers to search the left and right wings to see if there are any ambushes! "

"promise!"
