Except for the 10,000 soldiers who stayed on the other side of the Luo River to accept prisoners, all the rest of Yang Rui's soldiers along the way reached Guanxian County under the command of Guo Jia.》.[]

On the way, Guo Jia even took a detour and rushed towards Puyang City. He tried to stimulate Liu Dai with a small number of soldiers and seduced his troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle.

However, although there are many guards in Puyang City, most of them should be the main ones of low-level soldiers. If the opponent can go out of the city to fight, it is undoubtedly a good fighter opportunity. Maybe he can win Puyang City in one fell swoop!

Guo Jia commanded Yang Rui's army of nearly 140,000 troops were divided into two groups, of which only had 20,000 or 30,000 troops, and they were directly approaching Puyang City, and the other was sneaking outside to surround the formation to serve as reinforcements. If Liu Dai went out of the city to fight, he could implement the ambush plan with 20,000 or 30,000 people retreating as bait.

However, in the end, Liu Dai Puyang defenders looked like they were facing a great enemy. Facing Yang Rui's only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, they just shrank into the city and did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

From this we can also see that Liu Dai is still preparing to continue to defend Puyang City!

Liu Dai should have learned that Yang Rui was drowned in the Fox City, but it was impossible to ask him to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight. Before, when he was fighting with Qiao Mao, Liu Dai had seen Zhang Ning's powerful Tianling Fire Rain skill, so he simply did not prepare for the battle.

Therefore, Guo Jia's previous strategy of seducing the enemy was naturally difficult to achieve.

However, it was not entirely for this reason that Guo Jia led his troops through the vicinity of Puyang City. He had to go to Guanxian County from the west side of Hucheng, and it was indeed a relatively close road. Yang Rui and Zhang Ning and Guo Jia discussed that they had to take Guanxian first and finally turn back to deal with Liu Dai in Puyang City.

In the past, Liu Dai was in defense of Yang Rui's two armies. He basically deployed all his troops in the three cities of Puyang City, Guan County City and Lihu City. Now, in Lihu City, Liu Dai only has two strong cities in Puyang and Guan County.

Because Puyang City is close to the Yellow River, it has a moat. After Liu Dai took over the Puyang City affairs, he remanaged the Puyang City moat. The thief leader had already discovered this situation before, so it was obviously more difficult to capture Puyang than to capture Guan County.

This is also the reason why Yang Rui, Zhang Ning and Cheng Yu decided to take Guan County first after discussing. If Guan County can be successfully captured, Liu Dai will only be an isolated city in Puyang City, and Yang Rui will have the advantage in both situation and psychology.

"Welcome to the Lord (Mr. Lieyangzhou)!"

When Yang Rui appeared in the main army camp outside Guanxian County, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu'anguo and Guo Jia had already gathered to wait.

This is the first time that the two troops have met since Yang Rui and Liu Dai started the war. In about half a month, Yang Rui's two troops were invincible, and he nibbled most of the cities in Liu Dai's territory. Even if there is no more gains from now on, it can be regarded as a preliminary goal of weakening Liu Dai.

"Thank you all! You have all performed bravely and achieved excellent results. You should have celebrated with you, but the current situation has not yet been completely settled. I have kept your achievements in mind. When you return to Qingzhou, you will definitely reward according to your merits.

I will not say much about praise. What good ideas can you do to capture Guanxian County?”

Yang Rui first praised several people with words, and then asked for advice.

"Report to the lord, I, Zhang Wenyuan, Wu'anguo, and the three men have been on the verge of the county for five or six days. They have challenged each other several times, but there has never been any signs of going out of the city to fight.

Moreover, we have intercepted a handwritten letter from Liu Dai and learned that the city's lord was called Wang Yu, but in the letter, Liu Dai asked him to stick to the city and did not ask about the rest.

In this way, the defenders of Guanxian County have already made up their minds to fight to the end with the strength of the city, or only by a strong attack can they take this city in a short period of time..."

After everyone was silent for a while, Gao Shun spoke first.

Previously, Yang Rui had already sent a message to Gao Shun and the other two to siege the city and wait for an opportunity to seize the opportunity of siege. He did not recommend his strong attack. However, at this time, the expressions of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo seemed to have the intention of asking for a battle to siege the city. After Gao Shun said that, Zhang Liao and Wu Anguo also nodded in agreement.

Yang Rui also knew the form of Guanxian County. Moreover, if he forcibly attacked the city, he would have three powerful generals, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu'an. He would not have to worry about not being able to get the city.

Moreover, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were both the first generals to attack the city during the Three Kingdoms period. 40,000 iron guards who were good at fighting the wall were also in the army. The price of siege should not be unbearable to Yang Rui.

However, some sacrifices are obviously inevitable when attacking a city. Although the plot points can resurrect the soldiers, the plot points can be exchanged for some good things, so it is better to save some of them naturally.

"What are the good strategies for filial piety?"

Yang Rui pondered for a while, then turned his gaze to Guo Jia and asked.

"What General Gao Shun said is reasonable. With the combat power of our army, if we attack strongly, we will definitely be able to quickly defeat Guanxian County. However, after hearing what General Gao Shun said, he once obtained a letter from Liu Dai. This is why Guo Jia was inspired by a small inspiration. If this is the case, it would be better to try it out with a plan."

Guo Jia did not refuse, and nodded slightly and spoke.

In fact, no one noticed that Guo Jia's eyes lit up when Gao Shunyan spoke about Liu Dai's handwritten letter just now, and he should have made plans at that time.

"Fengxiao has a successful plan, please speak out."

When Yang Rui heard that Guo Jia had a plan, he was naturally overjoyed. When he discussed with Guo Jia how to capture Guan County, Guo Jia had not thought of a suitable plan. He did not expect that he would think of a good plan again!

"Mr. Zhou Mu, please don't be happy. Guo Jia's plan cannot guarantee how big it is. It may take a lot of time. It may take at least 10 days to achieve it. I will tell you the plan first, and ask Lord Zhou Mu and the generals to measure it before making a decision."

Guo Jia first explained the interests, and then began to explain his plan in detail, allowing Yang Rui to make the decision himself.

"A clever plan! A clever plan! It's true that you are a great talent!"

About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Rui couldn't help but pat his thigh and praised him loudly.

"A great military advisor! We can't wait!"

Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and Wu'anguo had heard Guo Jia's narration and had a bright eye. After exchanging glances with each other, he stood up and clasped his fists and said.

After the initial plan to attack Liu Dai, Guo Jia then designed to flood the Fox City. At this time, he heard Guo Jia tell him about the plan to take Guan County. Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo and others seemed to have regarded Guo Jia as Yang Rui's real military.

Of course, the actions of the four people also helped Yang Rui win over Guo Jia's intentions.

"Mr. Zhou Mu, you generals don't have to raise Guo Jia. You need to know that you have the strength of Master Zhou Mu and the bravery of the generals before you can implement Guo Jia's strategy!

Moreover, although Guo Jia could think of some strategies to respond to the enemy, he still didn't know what the result was. Lord Zhou Mu and you all praised him so much, but Guo Jia was embarrassed..."

Among the few people present, Guo Jia is the youngest, so Guo Jia's attitude is also very modest. When he saw several people getting up to salute, he naturally stood up to deal with it in a hurry.

In any case, after several people continued to discuss and improve, Yang Rui made another decision and implemented it according to Guo Jia's plan.

On that day, Yang Rui organized troops to carry out several attempts and put more than 100 rushers on the battlefield. He tried to attack the guards on Guanxian City walls by using the javelins equipped by the rushers themselves.

The rushing car is currently the sharpest siege equipment in Yang Rui's hands, especially the javelin he equipped with. It can be said that it indirectly provides Yang Rui with a kind of long-range power!

However, the effect of siege in these few attempts was not very good. Although it caused some damage to the guards on the city wall, all the rushers seemed to be suppressed by the long-range archers guarding the city and did not dare to get too close.

Early the next morning, Yang Rui's troops who besieged Guanxian County and began to mobilize. After half a morning of busyness, all Yang Rui's soldiers had evacuated near Guanxian County and their tents were completely removed, as if they had never appeared.

It can be seen very clearly from the walls of Guanxian County. After Yang Rui's troops set up camp, they all headed southwest, and that direction was where Puyang City was located.

The defenders of Guan County, including the chief general Wang Yu, naturally guessed the goal of Yang Rui's marching, but their mission was to stick to Guan County. Without Liu Dai's orders, they naturally did not dare to move lightly.

What's more, only a small number of soldiers in Guanguan County who could fight Yang Rui's troops head-on, and even if they chased them out, they would not get much benefit. At the same time, this might be the other party's plan?!

The soldiers who guarded soldiers who left the city to investigate seemed to confirm this. There were indeed powerful troops around Guanxian County, and none of the soldiers who left the city to investigate the situation could come back alive!

It was not until three days later that a group of soldiers who went out of the city to investigate brought back the news that Yang Rui's soldiers were no longer there within a radius of 100 miles of Guanxian County. Only then did the defenders in the city make a judgment that Yang Rui's troops were indeed heading for Puyang City.

Even so, the defenders of Guanxian County still hurried near the county town to defend, and did not violate the responsibilities assigned to them by Liu Dai, and naturally they did not intend to send troops to reinforce Puyang City.

After four more days, the Guan County defenders always strictly guarded the city, but they did not receive any news about Yang Rui's troops. The news about Puyang City was completely blocked. I don't know what the situation is now.

In the early morning of the fifth day, before the gate of Guanxian County was opened, a fast horse suddenly appeared from the southwest side, running from far to near, and started shouting before entering the range of the archer's shooting in the city wall.

"Don't shoot arrows, emergency information! I am the lord's messenger, don't shoot arrows!"

The archers on the city wall saw that there was only one cavalry and Liu Dai's camp soldier, so they put away their guards. However, just as they were about to open the city gate, the soldier was nailed to death under the city by an arrow behind them.
