Zhang Xuan's request undoubtedly hit the key point of Zhang Jincheng, more than 20,000 troops are his last capital, once his army defects, he Zhang Jincheng will be completely finished.

"No way!" Zhang Jin said he firmly disagreed with the plan.

Yang Ji hurriedly said: "The king, we can actually plan the plan, the king retreated north, while letting some henchmen pretend to flee, once Zhang Xuan plans to chase and kill us, the king will fight back again, and defeat the Sui army with an absolute superiority of troops, Zhang Xuan can only give up Wucheng County and retreat south, Wucheng County will be at his fingertips, what does the king think?" ”

Zhang Jin said that he pondered for a moment, he had to admit that Yang Ji's strategy was very clever, although it would be a bit risky, but once he succeeded, he would have ninety percent certainty of recapturing Wucheng County.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jin said that he could finally say that he could try Yang Ji's plan.

"You can consider Sir's plan, and we will camp north in the afternoon."

"Then let's go and prepare first!"

Yang Ji saluted and slowly retreated, Zhang Jincheng looked at his back and walked away, his gaze gradually turned cold

Yang Ji returned to his big tent, his brother Yang Zi was waiting for him in the big tent, Yang Ji walked back to the big tent with a heavy heart, he sat down and bowed his head and said nothing.

"Brother, what did the king say?" Yang Zi stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"What else can he say, he agreed to my plan."

Yang Ji sighed, took out a piece of paper and pen to write a reply to Zhang Xuan, but Yang Zi hesitated and whispered: "Why doesn't my brother take this opportunity to cooperate with Zhang Xuan, in fact, I think he is right, maybe we can really restore our reputation." ”

Yang Ji smiled bitterly, put down his pen and said, "Didn't you read Zhang Xuan's letter?" He said it very reluctantly, I know better than anyone else that the people of Qinghe County are about to be killed, how can I restore my reputation? Unless he, Zhang Xuan, is the coach, but he is just a subordinate general of Zhang Xutuo, what qualifications does he have to restore my reputation? I'd rather follow Zhang Jincheng and say that maybe the world will be in chaos in the future. He still has a chance to turn the tables. ”

"But my brother also said that Zhang Jin said that the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, and sooner or later he will die without a place to die."

"Who knows what will happen tomorrow, I don't want to think about this kind of thing."

Yang Zi was silent anymore, and he also fell into deep thought. After a while, Yang Ji wrote a letter, he sealed the letter, handed it to his brother, and said, "You give this letter to Zhang Xuan, you tell me." I will follow his instructions to rebel against the soldiers, and it will be effective by tonight at the latest, and in addition, Zhang Jin's army will be drawn to Xindu County this afternoon, so that he can prepare first. ”

Yang Zi nodded silently, took the letter and left the big tent quickly, Yang Ji sighed lowly, where is his fate?

Jang Hyun stood at the head of the city with his hands in his hands and looked at the camp of the thief army from afar, at this time he was no longer a novice who fought in Goguryeo for the first time, and the battlefield was changing rapidly. The deceit of both the enemy and the enemy has made his mind more mature, and it is difficult for some small tricks to deceive his eyes.

He didn't believe this Yang Ji at all, if Zhang Jin said that he didn't slaughter more than 10,000 Sui troops, then this Yang Ji might still surrender to the Sui army, but Zhang Jin said that the massacre in Qinghe had already cut off their back way to surrender to the Sui army, even if this Yang Ji didn't want to die for Zhang Jincheng, he could only choose the way to escape, and would never think of surrendering the Sui army, no matter what, he couldn't escape the final liquidation.

Fang Xuanling's advice on observing the details is very useful. He can indeed find evidence from the details.

At this time, a Sui scout cavalry galloped in from a distance, the city gate opened, and he quickly entered the city. After a while, he was taken up to the city by the soldiers, and came to Jang Hyun and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See the general!" ”

"How did he get into the barracks?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

He followed him all the way, and he didn't notice that he was being followed, but he could see very clearly that he had entered the barracks through the side door. Without any explanation, the guards just let him in. ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help sneering, this person is Yang Ji's brother, he left the camp without permission, and actually entered the barracks from the gate, how could Yang Ji explain to Zhang Jincheng?

Yang Zi was careless and showed his feet in the details, did he think it would be safe to go out of the city?

However, thinking about it is also a loophole for Yang Ji, according to common sense, Yang Zi should first take a detour to the west, and then come back from the west to enter the camp, so that he can give an account to Zhang Jincheng, Yang Ji obviously ignored this.

Zhang Xuan turned around and walked towards the city, he returned to his big tent, and then ordered: "Let the landlord come to see me!" ”

After a while, Fang Xuanling hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See the general!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Sir's plan is very good, I already know that the other party is cheating." ”

Fang Xuanling was stunned, "How does the general know?" ”

"I sent someone to secretly follow that Yang Zi, and he entered the barracks directly through the side gate without any obstacles, which is enough to show that Zhang Jin said that he wanted to use the fleeing soldiers to trick me into opening the city gate, or the main force ambushed us halfway."

Fang Xuanling nodded silently, he was indeed guessed correctly by Zhang Xuan, he pondered for a moment and said: "If the other party is a strategy, then I suggest that we stay still, Zhang Jinwei's grain will not last long, I have calculated his food, it is impossible for him to leave Qinghe County, and he will definitely launch another siege battle." ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "If my expectations are correct, this Yang Zi will come back soon to carry out his second-step scam, I want to do it!" ”

Fang Xuanling also laughed, "How can a general be calculated, and the general has a specific plan?" ”

At this time, a soldier rushed to report: "General, Yang Gongzi is asking to see you outside the northern city!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said to Fang Xuanling: "He didn't even wait for the night to come, he really didn't take Zhang Jincheng's sentry in his eyes." ”

Fang Xuanling also smiled: "It is estimated that the pressure on food is too great, and Zhang Jin said that he can't wait." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, and then ordered: "Let him in!" ”

After a short time, several soldiers brought Yang Zi into the big tent, this was the second time Yang Zi came to Wucheng County in just one day, although he was not willing to die for Zhang Jincheng again, he never dared to betray his brother.

"See the general!" Yang Zi bowed respectfully.

"What good news does Yang Gongzi bring?" Jang Hyun asked with a smile on his face.

"General Qiyu, Zhang Jin said that he will withdraw north to Xindu County this afternoon, this is a letter sent by my brother to the general."

Yang Zi took out a letter and presented it to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan looked at the letter, and actually asked himself to make a contribution to the reconstruction of Qinghe County, isn't this just wanting to take up an official position in Qinghe County? Let yourself think that he is genuinely taking refuge.

Zhang Xuan put down the letter and asked, "I don't know what I want, how is your brother doing?" ”

"Please rest assured, many generals in the army have complaints, my brother has been secretly contacting them, and the effect will be seen tonight."

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "If your brother can do this, I can guarantee him as the Qinghe County Prince, and I will never break my word!" ”

Yang Zi was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you general, we will go all out and never disappoint the general's love!" ”

Zhang Xuan immediately wrote a reply letter to Yang Zi, and instructed his soldiers: "Escort Yang Gongzi out of the city, beware of not being discovered by Zhang Jincheng's outpost!" ”

Yang Zi followed the soldiers away, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, and all the generals above the rank of captain will gather in my big tent." ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Jincheng's army finally pulled out of camp and headed north, and the mighty army of 20,000 guarded the grain and grass and retreated along the west side of Gaojibo in the direction of Xindu County.

An hour later, night fell quietly, and 5,000 Sui troops under the leadership of Zhang Xuan left Wucheng County, following Zhang Jincheng's army north.

As soon as the Sui army left Wucheng County, the outpost hidden near Wucheng County discovered the movements of the Sui army and immediately rushed to report to Zhang Jincheng.

The west bank of Gaojibo is a gentle hill with large forests and snow-covered land, and from Wucheng County to the north, there are no people for hundreds of miles, and it is a completely cold and desolate world.

Zhang Jin said that the speed of the march was not fast, and after walking less than forty miles, the army set up a large camp in an open area, at this time Zhang Jin said that he already knew that five thousand Sui troops were following behind, about ten miles away from them, and he had transferred the Sui army out, and the key was how to annihilate the main force of the Sui army.

In the big tent, Zhang Jincheng squinted his eyes and thought about the plan to lure the soldiers, as the saying goes, he can't bear the wolf, he doesn't pay a little price, how could the Sui army be fooled, Zhang Jin said that he has gradually had a plan in his heart.

At this moment, the strategist Yang Ji hurriedly walked to the tent door, and he didn't even have time to report, so he hurriedly said: "Great King, why is there no movement on General Zheng's side, didn't he say that his subordinates should be disbanded?" ”

According to Yang Ji's prior planning, in order to hide from the Sui army and create the illusion that the thief army began to break up, it was decided to let the 2,000 soldiers of the third battalion flee in disguise, and Zhang Jin said that he also agreed to this plan.

Everything had been arranged, but just now Yang Ji unexpectedly found that the third battalion did not pretend to break up at all, and the main general Zheng Long also said that he had not received the order to disperse, which made Yang Ji both annoyed and very puzzled.

Zhang Jincheng glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "I have already canceled this plan." (To be continued.) )
