Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

In this regard, Li Yi agreed, and by the way, he also told everyone about the situation in Dong'e. Yuan Shao is still confronting him across the river at this time. The fastest and the fastest, he will not receive the news until tonight. The location will be later.

At the same time, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong will also make an offensive posture to attract Yuan Shao's troops. With so many constraints, even if Yuan Shao gets the news in time, it will be difficult for Yuan Shao to make an effective response quickly.

Therefore, everyone had ample time in the plain, and they fully grasped the initiative on the battlefield.

Then, Zhang Liao continued to talk about the current deployment of troops. After he landed, Wei Yan had already defeated Jiang Qi, but due to the limited number of troops, he did not dare to leave the pier. Therefore, Zhang Liao assigned the troops to Wei Yan and asked him to continue After chasing, Jiang Qi's camp was occupied.

Now most of the soldiers and horses are stationed there. While repairing, they are also guarding against Yuan Tan sending troops to snatch Pingyuanjin Ferry. However, after one night, the north side is very quiet. According to Zhang Liao's speculation, the change should be too sudden. The beating was too hard, Yuan Tan was frightened, so he decided to stick to the plain and put all the hope of the war on Yuan Shao.

When they said this, everyone had smiles on their faces, because with Li Yi's big weapon, if they really attacked, Pingyuan would not be able to defend for a day, and Yuan Tan would definitely not be able to wait for Yuan Shao.

Finally, Wei Yan made a suggestion. He captured more than 2000 of Jiang Qi’s subordinates yesterday. Wei Yan thought that when attacking the plains, these people can go first, which will definitely hit the morale of Hebei, and then use a big killer to make those people The captives saw the gap that manpower could not touch, and this would surely deter those captives, so that they would not dare to have second thoughts after surrendering.

Li Yi felt that what Wei Yan said made sense. This time he dispatched troops to Hebei, he must have captured tens of thousands of prisoners, and the Yuan family has great influence in Jizhou. If these prisoners are not deterred enough, they will be provoked in the future Agitation, most likely will cause trouble.

So, Li Yi agreed to Wei Yan's proposal, but just when he was about to continue talking to everyone about the next specific arrangement, a scout suddenly came to report that they had caught a person, who thought he was a spy, but that person claimed to be His patriarch is a member of Li Yi, and he asked to see the chief general of the army, and he had important information to send.

Li Yi was slightly surprised at first, but soon remembered his two undercover agents on Yuan Tan's side.

Hua Yan and Kong Shun looked like villains. Li Yi didn't like them. They didn't help them in the early stage of the layout. Now that they have a huge advantage, they don't need to intervene. Therefore, Li Yi forgot about these two people.

However, based on the idea that even a piece of mud can paste the wall, Li Yi did not pretend to be cold, and ordered the man to come in and talk to him face to face.

Soon, the soldiers brought in a man in his 40s who looked like an old farmer, but after careful observation, it was not difficult to find that this man was far richer than ordinary farmers, and he was obviously not doing farm work.

Before the man came in, he had been told that Li Yi was also here, his heart was beating wildly, and he didn't dare to lift his head up when he came in, until the guard who led the way stopped him, then he knelt down and shouted loudly: "Caomin has seen the general, and I wish the general the victory and the pacification of Hebei in one fell swoop. The people of Jizhou will be grateful for the general's kindness from generation to generation!"

"Cough-cough-"

Li Yi was choked immediately, and the generals present also secretly laughed, thinking that the flag has already been won, okay, this flattery is too slow.

Li Yi cleared his throat, not wanting to talk nonsense with this person, and asked directly: "Who are you, and what do you want to report here?"

The man immediately replied: "The villain is a steward of Master Hua Yanhua's mansion. Master Hua was overjoyed when he heard that the general led the king's division to the north, but why couldn't he personally fight for the general in front of the battle? Deeply annoyed and remorseful, therefore, last night Master Hua's heart moved and he came up with a clever plan. Using the excuse of setting up an ambush, Yuan Tan divided his troops and sent 4000 soldiers to set up an ambush ten miles south of the city. Kong Shun, Mr. Kong, as long as the general intends to attack, Mr. Kong will definitely assist the general with all his strength, so that the general can easily take down these [-] people."

After this person said, everyone had different expressions. Some were happy, while others doubted the identity of this person. It wasn't that there was something wrong with what the other party said, but that it was too smooth, so smooth that it was unbelievable.

Jiang Qi lost 6000, and later lost [-]. Can the remaining [-] people have the courage to resist Li Yi?

Not to mention Yuan Tan, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, he can only do nothing in the face of this situation.

Although Li Yi was slightly surprised, he was still calm, because Pingyuan was never an obstacle in his eyes, and Hua Yan's performance was the icing on the cake, nothing more.

The person who reported the news untied his coat and outer robe, touched the inner lining, pulled it apart violently, took out a piece of cloth with writing on it, held it in both hands, and said: "This is a letter from my master Hua, please check it with the general. , In addition, Master Hua also said that there are many dead guards around Yuan Tan, and he can't capture the general, but when the general arrives at the city, he should be able to open a city gate and welcome the general into the city."

Bu Zhi took the piece of cloth and handed it to Li Yi, and saw that half of it was Hua Yan's handwriting. He first expressed his loyalty, and then said how he planned to sell Yuan Tan, which was not the same as what the reporter described. difference.

The other half is a topographical map. Although it is rough, it is easy to identify with the help of markings. It is the place where Kong Shun led his troops to ambush. It can be seen that in order to sell Yuan Tan for a good price, Hua Yan also put in effort to get it.

Handing Hua Yan's letter to Zhang Liao, Li Yi felt a little emotional. What he knew was that Hua Yan and the others were despicable and shameless, and they sold their owners for glory. Those who didn't know thought Yuan Tan killed their father and robbed their wife. Otherwise, where would it come from? With such a big enmity, Yuan Tan didn't even have any way of life left.

Sure enough, traitors are always more terrifying than enemies.

After waiting for several major generals to circulate, Li Yi got up slowly, and said with a smile: "The Yellow River is naturally dangerous, so majestic, but our army crossed the Yellow River as if walking on flat ground, and defeated thousands of enemies like grinding grass. Someone offered a plan to offer a city, everyone, why do you say that?"

This question was unexpected, but there were many people who responded quickly, and they directly bowed and said loudly: "This is God's will, God's will lies in the lord, the lord is the one blessed by God!"

Chapter 768

Ten miles to the south of Pingyuan City, Kong Shun had been hiding in the forest for two full days with four thousand soldiers and horses.

It's the end of October, and it's already winter. Although the night hasn't frozen yet, Kong Shun and the others are hiding in the mountains and laying ambushes. Naturally, they can't set up a big camp. They sleep wrapped in blankets and quilts, and a group of people crowd Keeping warm together, but as long as there is a little wind, it feels almost like the middle of winter.

Kong Shun had never suffered such a crime in his life, but for the sake of his future, he endured it and ate and slept with the soldiers, which unexpectedly gained him a lot of popularity in the army.

At this time, the news from the front line could no longer be concealed. Li Yi's army attacked, Pingyuanjin fell, and Jiang Qi's five thousand soldiers and horses were wiped out. Those soldiers who escaped by chance told Li Yi how cruel the Liannu was. , It made these Jizhou soldiers have a bad mentality of fighting.

Under such a bad situation, the people above did not let them stay in Pingyuan City to defend, but instead let them go out of the city to attack Li Yi's vanguard. The resentment in the soldiers' hearts can be imagined.

Regarding this, Deputy General Liu who came with Kong Shun was as big as a fight. He felt that in such a situation, even if he succeeded in intercepting Li Yi's vanguard, after a real fight, most of them would lose.

In particular, the chief general is Kong Shun, a guy who relies on slapstick to get to the top, so the resentment in his heart can be imagined.

However, after Kong Shun arrived at the predetermined location with his troops, his performance was quite eye-catching.

Regarding military affairs, Kong Shun entrusted all the military affairs to that Vice General Liu, and he did not meddle in the specific military affairs indiscriminately. When the news from the front line made people panic, it was Kong Shun who stood up and swore that everyone was a citizen of Hebei and his own family. Even if Kong Shun died, he would definitely keep everyone safe. Bring it back to Plain City.

In the end, this famous greedy man held Yuan Tan's sword and promised a great reward, as long as they stay here for ten days? No matter whether they fight Li Yi or not? To a stone of corn.

There is a saying that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward? After Kong Shun paid a big price, the morale of the four thousand soldiers was still low, but they settled down.

Deputy General Liu was puzzled, and asked Kong Shun why he didn't know about it, but Kong Shun said frankly that it was his own idea, and Yuan Tan didn't need to pay for the food. For the sake of the prince, he planned to raise food to reward the soldiers.

After this incident, Deputy General Liu respected Kong Shun very much. He felt that the so-called personal morality was at a loss, but the integrity was not compromised, and he was talking about people like Kong Shun.

However, if Deputy General Liu knew the truth? He would definitely vomit blood.

"What are you saying is true?"

"Every sentence is true? As long as the master brings the soldiers and horses on time, the rest? The general has already made arrangements."

"Okay! Okay! Go back quickly and tell the general, and then...don't go back to the city to avoid any accidents. This is your reward. Go, be careful on the road!"

"Here, thank you sir!"

The person who spoke to Kong Shun was a messenger sent by Yuan Tan to convey the secret order of the eldest son, so Kong Shun asked Vice General Liu and others to avoid him, and no one thought much about it.

However, this is actually Hua Yan's person. With the relationship between Hua Yan and Kong Shun's close ministers, it is not too easy to pretend to be a messenger of Yuan Tan and deceive Vice General Liu and others into trusting them.

After sending out the messenger, Kong Shun's heart beat a little faster. Although he had betrayed Yuan Tan long ago, he had always pretended to be very good behind the scenes, and now he wanted to stand on the opposite side of Yuan Tan openly. , it is impossible not to be nervous.

Taking a deep breath, Kong Shun went out, called Vice General Liu and several other military officers leading the troops to his side, and said solemnly: "The eldest son sends an order to let the soldiers break out of camp and set off!"

Everyone was surprised, and Deputy General Liu asked, "Could it be that Li Yi's vanguard came here?"

The faces of the other military officers couldn't help but a little more nervous. They didn't want to fight Li Yi. Although they knew that this incident seemed inevitable, they instinctively had the idea of ​​escaping.

Facing the nervousness of the crowd, Kong Shun smiled confidently and said, "Your Excellency sent a message that Zhang Liao had already arrived at Pingyuanjin two days ago to replenish Wei Yan's troops. Now he is leading [-] troops and has gone straight to Pingyuan County. Come!"

Everyone's face suddenly turned ugly. Zhang Liao himself is very famous, and Wei Yan is also famous this time. Moreover, there are 6000 people just in the vanguard to explore the road. Can there be fewer soldiers behind?

However, the more terrible news is yet to come. Kong Shun paused every word, as if he was afraid that everyone would not hear clearly, and said slowly: "Also, according to reliable information, Li Yi himself has also crossed the Yellow River. In Pingyuanjin."

"What, Li Yi is here too!"

"Li Yi is a great general, and I am afraid there are no less than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses around him. Once this is fought, what should we do?"

"Haven't we already asked the lord for help, when will the lord's reinforcements arrive?"
