Zhang Xuan's request undoubtedly hit Zhang Jincheng's key point. More than 20,000 troops were his last capital. Once his army defected, he, Zhang Jincheng, would be completely finished. △,

"No!" Zhang Jin said he firmly disagrees with this plan.

Yang Ji hurriedly said: "King, we can actually use the trick. While retreating north, the king lets some confidant soldiers pretend to escape. Once Zhang Xuan falls into the trap, he will chase us. The king will fight back and defeat the Sui army with absolute superior force. Zhang Xuan can only give up Wucheng County to retreat south. Wucheng County is within reach. What does the king think?"

Zhang Jin said that he pondered for a moment. He had to admit that Yang Ji's plan was very clever. Although he would be a little risky, once he succeeded, he would be 90% sure to retake Wucheng County.

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

"We can consider the plan of Mr., and we will go north in the afternoon."

"Then you go and prepare first!"

Yang Ji bowed and slowly retreated. Zhang Jincheng looked at his back and walked away, and his eyes gradually became cold.

Yang Ji returned to his big tent, and his brother Yang Zi was waiting for him in the big tent. Yang Ji walked back to the big tent with his worries. He sat down and lowered his head without saying a word.

"Brother, what do you 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 picked up a pen to write a reply to Zhang Xuan. However, Yang Zi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Why didn't your brother take this opportunity to cooperate with Zhang Xuan? Actually, I think he is right. Maybe we can really restore our reputation."

Yang Ji smiled bitterly and put down his pen and said, "Don't you understand Zhang Xuan's letter? He said it very reluctantly. I know better than anyone else. The people of Qinghe County are almost killed. How to restore their reputation? Unless Zhang Xuan is the head coach, he is just a general of Zhang Xutuo. What qualifications do he have to restore my reputation? I would rather follow Zhang Jinsheng, maybe in the future, there will be a great chaos in the world and he will still have a chance to turn the tables."

"But my brother also said that Zhang Jin was angry and resentful, and sooner or later he would die without a place to die."

"Who knows that something will happen tomorrow. I don't want to think about it too much."

Yang Zi stopped saying a word, and he fell into deep thought. Soon, Yang Ji wrote a letter, and he handed it to his brother and said, "Tell me this letter to Zhang Xuan. Tell me that I will follow his instructions to instigate the soldiers, and it will be effective tonight at the latest. In addition, Zhang Jin said the army will detach the camp to Xindu County this afternoon, so that he can prepare first."

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

Zhang Xuan stood on the city with his hands behind his back and looked into the thief camp. At this time, he was no longer a novice to fight in Goguryeo for the first time. The battlefield changed rapidly. The intrigue between the enemy and us made his mind more mature. Some tricks were difficult to deceive his eyes.

He didn't believe in this Yang Ji at all. If Zhang Jin said that he had not massacred more than 10,000 Sui troops, then this Yang Ji might surrender to the Sui army. However, Zhang Jin said that the massacre in Qinghe had long cut off their retreat for surrender to the Sui army. Even if Yang Ji did not want to work hard for Zhang Jin, he could only choose the way to escape. He would never think of surrendering to the Sui army. No matter what, he could not escape the final liquidation.

Fang Xuanling's suggestion to observe details is very useful, and he can indeed find evidence from the details.

At this time, a Sui army scout cavalry rushed from a distance and the city gate opened. He quickly entered the city. After a moment, he was taken to the city by soldiers and came to Zhang Xuan to kneel down on one knee to salute, "See General!"

"How did he enter the military camp?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

"Wei Yi followed him all the way, but He didn't find him being followed, but Wei Yi saw it very clearly. He was entering the military camp through the side door. Without any explanation, the soldiers guarding the camp directly let him in."

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but sneer. This person was Yang Ji's brother. He left the camp without authorization and actually entered the military camp through the gate. How did Yang Ji explain to Zhang Jin?

Yang Zi was secretly secreted and exposed his strengths in the details. Did he think it would be safe to leave the city?

But thinking about it was also a loophole for Yang Ji. According to common sense, Yang Zi should take a detour to the west first, and then come back from the west to join the camp, so that he can explain to Zhang Jincheng. Yang Ji obviously ignored this point.

Zhang Xuan turned around and walked down the city. He returned to his big tent and immediately ordered: "Let the owner's clerk come to see me!"

Soon, Fang Xuanling bowed quickly and bowed, "See General!"

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Mr.'s plan is very good. I already know that the other party is using fraud."

Fang Xuanling was stunned, "How do you know, General?"

"I sent someone to secretly follow Yang Zi. He entered the military camp directly from the side gate without any obstacles. This is enough to show that Zhang Jin said that he wanted to use the same trick to use the escaped soldiers to trick me into opening the city gate, or the main force ambush us halfway."

Fang Xuanling nodded silently, and Zhang Xuan was indeed guessing correctly. He pondered for a moment: "If the other party was a plan, then I suggest that we remain calm. The food that Zhang Jin said would not last long. I have calculated his food. He would not be able to leave Qinghe County and would definitely launch another siege."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "If what I expected was good, Yang Zi will come back soon to implement his second scam. I want to use the trick!"

Fang Xuanling also laughed, "How can a general take advantage of the situation? Can the general have a specific plan?"

At this time, a soldier rushed over to report: "General, Mr. Yang is looking for a meeting outside the northern city!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said to Fang Xuanling: "I can't even wait for the night, so I come here. He really doesn't take Zhang Jincheng's whistle to look at it."

Fang Xuanling also smiled and said, "It is probably because the food pressure is too great, so Zhang Jin said he can't wait any longer."

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

Soon, several soldiers brought Yang Zi into the tent. This was Yang Zi's second time in just one day. Although he was unwilling to work hard for Zhang Jin, he never dared to betray his brother.

"See General!" Yang Zi bowed respectfully.

"What good news does Mr. Yang bring?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile on his face.

"You report to the general, Zhang Jin said that he would withdraw from Xindu County to the north this afternoon. This is the letter my brother sent to the general."

Yang Zi took out a letter and submitted it to Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan looked at the letter and actually asked him to do his best to rebuild Qinghe County. Isn’t this just trying to take office in Qinghe County? He made himself think he was sincerely surrendering.

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

"Please rest assured, General. Many generals in the army have complained. My brother has been in secret contact with them and will see the effect tonight."

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "If your brother can do this, I can protect him as the governor of Qinghe County and never go back on his word!"

Yang Zi was overjoyed and bowed quickly and said, "Thank you, General. We will do our best and live up to the general's love!"

Zhang Xuan immediately wrote a reply letter to Yang Zi, and instructed his personal soldiers: "Guard Mr. Yang from the city, be careful not to be discovered by Zhang Jincheng's whistle!"

Yang Zi followed the soldiers, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and immediately ordered: "Tell me my order, all the generals above the lieutenant will be brought to my tent."

In the afternoon, Zhang Jincheng's army finally set off the camp and headed north. A vast army of 20,000 guarded the food and supplies, and retreated along the west side of Gaojipo towards Xindu County.

An hour later, night fell quietly, and five thousand Sui troops, led by Zhang Xuan, left Wucheng County and followed Zhang Jincheng's army northward.

Just as the Sui army had just left Wucheng County, the post hiding near Wucheng County discovered the movements of the Sui army and immediately rushed to report to Zhang Jin.

The west bank of Gaojipo is a gentle hill with large forests spread out, covering the earth with snow. From Wucheng County to the north, it is uninhabited within a hundred miles, and it is completely a cold and desolate world.

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

In the big tent, Zhang Jincheng narrowed his eyes and thought about the plan to lure troops. As the saying goes, he can't bear to leave his children and can't trap a wolf. If he doesn't pay a little price, how could the Sui army be deceived? Zhang Jincheng has gradually had a plan in his mind.

At this moment, the adviser Yang Ji hurried to the tent. Before he could even report, he said anxiously: "King, why is General Zheng's movement at all? Didn't he say that his subordinates would be disbanded?"

According to Yang Ji's prior planning, in order to conceal the Sui army and create the illusion that the bandit army began to disperse, it was decided to let two thousand soldiers of the Third Battalion run away in disguise. Zhang Jin said that he also agreed to this plan.

Everything was arranged, but just now Yang Ji accidentally discovered that the Third Battalion showed no sign of disintegration. The main general Zheng Long also said that he had not received the order to disintegrate, which made Yang Ji both angry and puzzled.
