Can I get to the other side?

The eighth day of the seventh month.

Quliang, sixty or seventy miles away from Yecheng.

It was late at night, already the hour of the first zodiac, but the lights were still on in the Quliang prefectural governor's mansion.

In the meeting hall.

Han Meng, the "one pillar" among the four pillars of Hebei.

Qu Yi, the commander of the Xiandeng Camp.

Chunyu Qiong, one of the "eight commanders of Xiyuan" who was once as famous as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

And Ju Su.

All came from Hejian County and gathered here.

In order to recapture Yecheng, Yuan Shao dispatched half of his elite troops this time, leaving only Yan Liang, Jiang Qi, Tian Feng and others to stay in Hejian.

Yuan Shao glanced at the many brave generals in the hall, and seeing that everyone was present, he said directly: "Today at 3 pm, the rebellious son Yuan Xi will falsely convey the emperor's edict to summon Zhang Liao into the palace."

"Once Zhang Liao enters the palace, all four gates of Yecheng will fall."

"You will lead your troops to the northern suburbs of Yecheng later under the cover of night and hide them in the mountains and forests. When you receive the news that the city gates are blocked, you will take advantage of the fact that Zhang Liao's 10,000 troops are leaderless and lead your troops to attack Yecheng from the north gate and take over Yecheng."

"As for the specific actions, everything will be subject to your orders."

After learning about Yuan Xi's plan to murder Zhang Liao from Liu Xie's secret letter, Yuan Shao confirmed it with Cui Yan again and learned a more detailed plan from Cui Yan-

After ambushing and killing Zhang Liao, Yuan Xi will immediately go to the camp where Zhang Liao's army is stationed, falsely convey the emperor's edict, and take over Zhang Liao's 10,000 troops.

So, he decided to be the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole.

Take advantage of this God-given opportunity to recapture Yecheng!

"My Lord."

After listening, Qu Yi asked, "Although Zhang Liao's army is leaderless, Yecheng is impregnable. How can we break through with only 15,000 soldiers?"

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "The commander of the north gate is Cui Lin, the brother of Cui Yan. He will open the gate for you."

Qu Yi felt relieved when he heard this and said, "I will obey your orders!"

Han Meng and Chunyu Qiong also bowed their hands to accept the orders.

In order to seize this opportunity to return to Yecheng, Yuan Shao mobilized three generals and 15,000 troops.

He even ordered Yuan Tan to lead the army to support Hejian to fill the gap in the army to prevent Gongsun Zan from taking the opportunity to make a comeback.

"My Lord, is there a trick?" Ju Su frowned. When the time came, he felt that it was too smooth and too coincidental.

Yuan Shao looked at Ju Su with a little dissatisfaction. How could he miss such a good opportunity!

Ju Su was good in every way, except that he was too suspicious.

"Don't worry, Cui Yan is from the Qinghe Cui family, and he has talents. How could he really surrender to Yuan Xi? Besides, it was your and Yuan Hao's idea to let him stay in Yecheng as an insider."

"What's more, the current opportunity is indeed rare and worth the risk. If you miss it, it will be even more difficult to retake Yecheng in the future."

Ju Su relaxed his brows and felt that he thought too much.

The Qinghe Cui family is a big family in Jizhou. They would not be so ignorant as to let Cui Yan betray Yuan Shao and surrender to Yuan Xi.

And judging from the current situation, Yuan Xi and Zhang Liao are incompatible. If someone sets up a game, this person can only be the emperor of Yecheng.

But what virtue and ability does he have to make Cui Yan and Yuan Xi surrender at the same time?

Seeing that Ju Su was silent, Yuan Shao continued, "There are 10,000 troops in Quliang and 5,000 troops in Guantao, a total of 15,000 troops, including 1,000 elite soldiers.

Even if there is a trick, the army will retreat. There is no cavalry in Yecheng. If we want to retreat, who can stay?"

Ju Su nodded slightly. Yuan Shao was right.

With the bravery of Han Meng and Qu Yi, and 15,000 troops, they can evacuate safely if they see the situation is not good.

As long as they retreat to Quliang and Guantao, the soldiers in Yecheng will have no way to deal with them.

The worries in my heart gradually dissipated.

Yuan Shao then explained again, and then a deep murderous intent and hatred appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Tonight, we must kill the rebellious son Yuan Xi! Take back Yecheng!"

"Yes!!"

Everyone clasped their fists together.

Soon after, three powerful generals, Han Meng, Qu Yi and Qiong Yuchun, plus the military supervisor Ju Su, led the army to the northern suburbs of Yecheng overnight.

…

Early morning, Yicheng.

Gongsun Zan received the intelligence sent by the spies in an urgent manner, and his face was full of surprise.

He excitedly shook Jia Xu's hand and said, "Wenhe is so good at predicting things. Yuan Shao really moved his troops away from Hejian, and moved away 15,000 troops!"

"He is fighting with me at this time, and he actually did such a stupid thing. It's really unbelievable!"

He had heard Jia Xu say that Yuan Shao would withdraw his troops and leave, and he didn't believe it at first, but the facts were exactly as Jia Xu said, so accurate that it was outrageous.

He is worthy of being the one who almost killed Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!

Jia Xu pulled his hands out without leaving a trace, gently shook his feather fan, and said with an unfathomable look: "It's just the result of deduction."

"Yecheng is too important to Yuan Shao. If he loses Yecheng, his foundation in Jizhou will be unstable. But although Yuan Shao is stupid, his advisers are not stupid."

"If I am right, Yuan Tan will lead troops to support Hejian."

"Yi Hou can send troops to Hejian again before Yuan Tan arrives, and capture the entire Hejian County at all costs. As long as Hejian County is captured, it will be completely able to gain a foothold in Jizhou. By then, it will be extremely difficult for Yuan Shao to take it back."

Naturally, he would not say that the emperor set up a trap to lure Yuan Shao.

Anyway, Gongsun Zan could not see through it.

Gongsun Zan thought about it in his mind for a while and thought that this was indeed a God-given opportunity. He immediately jumped up and yelled: "With such a good opportunity, I will definitely take Hejian!"

"Send my military order to rectify the army!"

When Jia Xu saw this scene, he suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"If Yuan Shao abandons Ye City, it will be difficult for your Majesty to capture Jizhou in a short time. But he actually dispatched 15,000 troops to Yecheng. After this battle, most of Jizhou will be owned by your Majesty."

"If Gongsun Zan can fight Yuan Shao to the end regardless of the cost and hold off Yuan Tan's reinforcements, then Qingzhou can also make plans."

…

At noon, Yecheng, camp in the southern suburbs.

In the Chinese military camp, Liu Xie sat in chief.

Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Zhang He, five generals Gao Lan, and Guo Jia were on both sides.

At this time, everyone in the tent was having lunch.

Liu Xie took a sip of the wine and couldn't help but smacked his lips. He still couldn't get used to the wine of this era. He would have to ask Zhen's people to make distilled wine when he had time in the future.

Putting down the wine bottle, Liu Xie looked at everyone and asked, "Everything has been carefully arranged. There are no flaws, right? This battle is of great importance, so don't be careless."

"Reply to Your Majesty."

Zhang Liao came out of the queue after hearing this, clasped his fists and replied: "Everything has been carefully arranged. We are just waiting for Yuan's army to enter the urn, but..."

Liu Xie frowned and said, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

Zhang Liao hesitated again and again, but gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty has a body of thousands of people. It is too dangerous to use your body as a bait to lure the enemy. It is best for your Majesty to wait in the palace."

Today, Liu Xie is personally in charge of the Chinese army, luring the enemy to snatch it, which can be said to be a personal risk. Even Zhang Liao, no matter how experienced he is in many battles, can't help but feel nervous.

When did he lead the emperor to fight?

"Wen Yuan's words are wrong."

Liu Xie shook his head, with a solemn look on his face, "But today the world is uncertain and the mountains and rivers have not yet been unified. I am destined to be an emperor like the ancestor Guangwu."

"What's more, the ministers are fighting on the battlefield and risking their lives for the sake of the country and the country. How can I be a coward and huddle in the palace?"

"Besides, with Ziyi's personal protection, I will be able to be protected."

To put on a show, you have to do a complete set. Since the situation has been set up for Yuan Shao, he must believe what Cui Yan said in the letter.

According to the plan, Zhang Liao had to enter the palace under the witness of Yuan Shao's spies, and the four gates of Yecheng had to close the moment Zhang Liao entered the palace.

Liu Xie himself is the last line of insurance.

If Yuan Shao is still not fooled, he will show up outside the city and use his body as bait. At that time, he will not care about his plan to infiltrate the gang. As long as the opponent's army sees him showing up, they will come to rob them at all costs.

Because as long as he is captured as the emperor, it will be no different from capturing Yecheng!

When everyone heard this, they were filled with respect.

Your Majesty really has the style of Emperor Guangwu.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Taishi Ci's eyes flashed, and he said forcefully: "If your majesty is injured even a hair, I am willing to die with my head raised!"

Zhang Liao also knew that his persuasion was useless. Fortunately, Taishi Ci's force and the presence of Huang Zhong in the army gave him some relief.

Immediately afterwards, after Guo Jia explained in detail the matters that needed attention to everyone, he asked Zhang He and Gao Lan to return to where the Yulin Guards were stationed and wait for the opportunity.

Both of them were very excited.

Today is the day when Habayashi Wei becomes famous again!

A cry that shocked the world!

…

At less than three moments, Yuan Xi entered the palace, and then a eunuch came out of the palace from the south gate holding an imperial edict in his hand.

At the moment of Shenshi, the eunuch arrived at Zhang Liao's army camp. Soon after, Zhang Liao left the camp with two personal guards and entered Yecheng from the south gate with the eunuch.

At the second moment of Shenshi, all four gates of Yecheng fell down without any warning.

…

Outside Yecheng, in a mountain forest.

Jushou carefully read the news sent by the spies. Everything mentioned above was consistent with what Cui Yan said in the letter.

"But why... am I always uneasy?"

Jushou frowned and looked a little strange.

Although everything was fine, he always felt that something was wrong, which made it difficult for him to let go.

"Supervisor, give the order quickly!"

Qu Yi looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and said anxiously: "It's almost time. If it were later, when Yuan Xi went to Zhang Liao's camp with the emperor's edict, everything would be too late. "

Han Meng also urged: "Supervisor, what are you waiting for? This opportunity is rare. I will enter the city from the north gate immediately. Even if there is a scam, at worst, we can just retreat to Quliang!"

Chunyu Qiong on the side was also waiting for Jushou to give orders. Although he didn't say anything, his stinky face already showed his mood.

He couldn't help but scold Jushou.

Jushou pondered for a long time, and finally stopped hesitating and looked at Chunyu Qiong, "General Chunyu, please lead a small team to the north gate first to investigate the situation."

If there is a fraud, only Chunyu Qiong's small team will be lost.

"How cowardly!"

When Chunyu Qiong heard this, he looked at Jushou with disdain. Although he was impatient, despite the military orders, he went down and ordered a hundred people, and went straight to the north gate of Yecheng.

…

Camp in the southern suburbs, Chinese army tent.

Liu Xie and Guo Jiazheng were waiting for the news quietly.

At three o'clock in the morning, a scout entered the account and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a squad of 100 people heading towards the north gate at the moment!"

Liu Xie and Guo Jia looked at each other, with joy in each other's eyes.

Hooked!

Guo Jia smiled and said: "The person leading the army is cautious enough... but it's of no use. No matter he sends a team of a hundred people to test first, or chooses to trust Cui Yan and let the army directly enter the city, he will fall into the trap!"

They didn't know whether Yuan Shao or who was leading the army.

But the net has been spread out, and with the tempting bait of Yecheng placed in the net, there is no need to worry about the opponent not taking the bait.

No matter whether the opponent chooses to test or not, as long as the army finally shows up, there will be no room for turning back.

If there are few troops and horses coming, then they will be wiped out.

If there are many troops coming, then give them a head-on attack and eliminate Yuan Shao's troops as much as possible.

Unless Yuan Shao sends a hundred thousand troops to suppress the situation at once, it is impossible to get a good deal.

"very good!"

Liu Xie stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves and robes, and with gleaming eyes, ordered: "Send orders to Huang Zhong and Zhang He, the army is on standby at any time!"

The messenger agreed and hurried to convey Liu Xie's military order.

…

Summer days are extremely long.

Although it was Shenshi, the sky was still not dark, and the bloody setting sun hung in the sky, casting brilliant afterglow to the earth.

Chunyu Qiong led a hundred light cavalry to the north gate of Ye City, which immediately attracted the attention of many defenders on the city wall, who bent their bows and set arrows.

"who!"

Chun Yuqiong hid behind several personal guards, looked at the defenders on the city wall warily, and said, "I am General Chun Yuqiong, where is Chief Cui!"

After hearing this, Cui Lin quickly showed up on the city wall and said with surprise on his face: "General Chunyu, you are finally here...but why are there only so many people?"

He was confused. There were only a hundred cavalry outside the city, which was inconsistent with the promised 10,000 troops. Could it be that they had discovered something.

Seeing someone responding, Chunyu Qiong finally felt relieved and said, "The army is still hiding in the mountains and forests. I, the general, will come here first to check out the situation. How is the situation in the city?"

"The situation is not good!" Cui Lin's heart moved, and he said anxiously: "Yuan Xi has killed Zhang Liao! General Chunyu, hurry up and notify the army to enter the city. I will open the city gate for you, but don't miss the chance of fighting!"

"What?"

Chunyu Qiong was immediately shocked and couldn't help cursing: "It's all my fault for that cowardly rat Jushou! He refused to listen to me when I asked him to send troops earlier. Tantantan, Tantantan, Tantantan!"

"I'll just send someone back to spread the news. Open the city gate quickly! Let me enter the city first!"

Cui Lin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will open the city gate now, General Chunyu, come in quickly!"

Accompanied by the sound of the machine rotating, the north door slowly opened.

Chunyu Qiong was overjoyed and eagerly rode in with a hundred light cavalry. He wanted to go to the palace first to kill Yuan Xi, and by the way capture the emperor and achieve his first success!

The city gate is extremely deep, like a huge dark mouth.

Completely engulfing everyone who enters it.

The setting sun is like blood.
