"Your Highness, Yu Ze, only hopes to continue to retain his post as a captain, and there is nothing else to ask for."

Fa Zheng handed a letter to Liu Jing. Liu Jing took it and looked at it. He couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that this person is very self-aware and his requirements are not high. The military advisor replied to someone who came for me. I can agree to Yu Ze's request, but ask him to surrender immediately."

Fa Zheng hesitated and said, "This person is actually only a small person. Your Highness has written a letter to him personally. Is Your Highness's goal?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Even if Yu Jin is a witness in my life, if he can surrender to me, it will be the perfect end of my life journey."

Although Fa Zheng did not understand Liu Jing's profound meaning, he had a clever plan. He whispered to Liu Jing with his ears. Liu Jing nodded with a smile and said, "The military advisor is indeed extremely wise. I really didn't expect Yu Ze to be so useful."

Fa Zheng bowed and turned around and walked quickly. Liu Jing looked at his back with a faint smile in his eyes. Although Fa Zheng proposed the trick of using Yu Ze as an undercover agent, he would not understand another deep meaning of himself. Without Yu Jin, Liu Jing would not have met Zhao Yun, and without Zhao Yun, he would not have achieved what he had today.

He needs to draw a perfect end to this colorful path of life, and Yu Jin is undoubtedly the best witness. Without Yu Jin, life will not become boring, believe that Yu Ze will definitely become a qualified bridge.

Half an hour later, the sky gradually became brighter, and the agreed moment of Mao finally arrived. The gates of Nanxiang County opened wide. Under the leadership of the chief general Yu Ze, the five thousand Cao troops left the city to surrender to the Han army. Liu Jing immediately appointed Yu Ze as the Marquis of Nanxiang Ting and continued to serve as the lieutenant. He obeyed orders under the hiring tent, but for Liu Jing, Yu Ze's value was not just for Yu Jin.

...........

The city of Wancheng had stopped before dawn. The Cao army had been struggling for a long time, but still could not find more than 40 Han army scouts who sneaked into the city. However, the Cao army soldiers gained a lot and almost everyone made a fortune. The entire Cao army, except for the chief general Cao Hong, who was angry that he did not arrive at the Han army scout, the rest of the soldiers were very happy and their morale was greatly boosted.

As for the pain and anger of the people in Nanyang City, that was another matter. Cao Hong was not taken seriously. Even if he had not been scouted by the Han army, his morale was greatly boosted, which made him excited.

However, after visiting Jia Kui's injuries, Cao Hong felt a little heavy again. On the one hand, Jia Kui was seriously injured and he could not communicate to Wei Gong. On the other hand, Jia Kui accused him without hesitation. He was so harmful to the people, but he still hoped that the people would work hard to defend the city for him.

Cao Hong realized that he had made a big mistake. He forgot that he had insufficient troops and needed to recruit a large number of civilians to help defend the city. His soldiers plundered the entire city and hurt the people of Wancheng. There were still several civilians who worked hard to defend the city for him.

In desperation, Cao Hong had to arrest more than a soldier who was guilty of murder, publicly executed, and sent heads from house to house to public, trying to win back some people's hearts, but he was disappointed. No family sold his accounts, and some even publicly rebuked him, unless Cao Hong's head was taken to public and apologize.

On the top of the city, Cao Hong looked at the distance with a gloomy face. In terms of time, the troops from all over the country should have arrived in Wancheng, but now there is no one. Among them, only Ye County is a little far away, and perhaps it cannot be so fast. The troops from Nanxiang County and Yuyang County should have arrived.

Did they all be intercepted by the Han army? Cao Hong was upset. If reinforcements were not sent, it would be difficult to defend Wancheng with only ten thousand defenders. And he offended the people of Nanyang, and he could not expect the people to work hard to defend the city. What should I do?

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the west and shouted: "General, look!"

Cao Hong stood up and looked carefully. He saw a group of soldiers from other people surrounded by a horse-riding general, running towards the west city in a mess. When the visitor gradually approached, Cao Hong suddenly recognized the visitor. Yu Ze, the ward of Zhengnanxiang County, quickly ordered: "Open the city gate."

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered and the city gate opened wide. Yu Ze led the remaining troops to the city quickly and rushed directly into the city.

After a moment, a soldier led Yu Ze to the top of the city. Cao Hong discovered that Yu Ze was in a mess, covered in blood, his helmet fell off, his hair was disheveled, and his hair seemed to be wounded.

"General Yu, what's going on?" Cao Hong asked anxiously.

Yu Ze sighed, and couldn't help but stamp his feet and beat his chest and said, "I was ambushed by the Han army and the entire army was wiped out. I almost died on the battlefield. I feel ashamed of the general."

"General Yu, please sit down, slowly."

Cao Hong ordered people to serve tea. Yu Ze drank a few sips of tea before he described his experience. "I received the general's emergency order and immediately led my army out of the city. However, in Huilong Valley, ten miles away, I was ambushed by the Han army's crossbowmen and spear soldiers. About 20,000 people were shot in the war horses. Thanks to the help of his personal soldiers, I ran desperately to escape. The rest of my brothers were blocked in Huilong Valley, and I had no idea of ​​life or death."

Afterwards, Yu Ze burst into tears. Cao Hong was stunned when he heard this, and then asked for a while: "Who is the chief general of the enemy?"

"It seems that Liu Jing led his army in person, because Bei Zhi saw the Red Dragon Golden Banner, but he did not see Liu Jing himself. Bei Zhi couldn't see clearly in the dark night, so he couldn't be sure."

When Cao Hong heard that the red dragon gold-edged flag appeared, Liu Jing's king flag. If he was not here, who would dare to raise the king flag without authorization? Cao Hong felt that his heart quickly sinking, as if he had fallen into a ice cave, and Liu Jing actually led his troops himself.

...........

After the Han army captured Nanxiang County, the troops immediately set off Wancheng, and tens of thousands of troops quickly moved towards Wancheng. At this time, the situation in Wancheng was very dangerous. The reinforcements were intercepted by the Han army, leaving only 10,000 troops left in Wancheng, while the Han army that came from Chang'an and Xiangyang had 70,000.

The next afternoon, Liu Jing set up four camps outside the four city gates and surrounded Wancheng, but was not in a hurry to attack the city, and the army was attracted but did not launch.

In the afternoon, a team of cavalry rushed from the south city to the main camp outside the north city. General Zhengda hired and his personal soldiers and hired troops to send troops to Nanyang yesterday afternoon. 20,000 troops arrived at Yuyang County at the first update of the day, and surrounded the 5,000 defenders of Yuyang County at the same time, concentrating their superior forces to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

This day has been long-awaited for recruitment. Since the fifth year of Jian'an, he has been appointed as the chief general in Xiangfan. It has been sixteen years since then. His greatest hope is to occupy Nanyang County. Although he led his army to occupy Nanyang County several times, he ended in withdrawing his troops back to Xiangfan.

And this time they may have taken Nanyang County into their pocket, and he has been looking forward to the arrival of this day for a long time.

Bien turned over and dismounted in front of the camp gate, bowed to the guards and said, "Please inform Your Highness, Bien has arrived in the camp."

The officer on duty ran out of the camp and smiled and said, "The Governor asked him to come in. If the Governor arrives, he will not need to inform him. You can go directly to the Central Army's tent."

Pin nodded, turned around and ordered the guards to say a few words, and then followed the officer on duty to walk towards the central army's tent.

In the central army's tent, Liu Jingzheng and Fa Zheng discussed a plan to attack Wancheng. On a large table in the center of the tent was a model of Wancheng, about ten feet in size. This city model necessary for the Han army to attack the city was invented by Pang Tong when he was invading the West City in the north. This method of siege has been used by the Han army. The most famous battle when he used the city model to attack the city was attacked by Chengdu.

After years of continuous improvement, this model has become more and more refined, and it has spied from scouts lurking in the city to the deployment of the defenders and reflected on the model.

However, Liu Jing has not yet obtained the information from Ren Ping in the city. Since Cao Hong has blocked the city and the outside world, it has become very difficult to transmit information. The only thing he knows is that there are only 10,000 defenders in the city.

Liu Jing pointed to the city wall model and said slowly to Fa Zheng: "The circumference of Wancheng is about ten miles, but there are only ten thousand defenders. It's really a bit like a little bit. However, the moat in Wancheng is ten feet long, so we can't find such a long wooden board. If a boat is used as a pontoon bridge, I'm worried that it will be attacked by Cao's army, and crossing the moat will become the first problem."

Fazheng said: "Actually, I think it is more difficult to fall a four-meter-high city wall compared to the moat. There is a horse-faced wall every fifty steps, which is not conducive to our siege."

"ah"

Liu Jing sighed: "Cao Cao attacked the city at night, but Jia Xu saw it through, killing Cao's army and killed many casualties. At that time, the moat was only five meters wide and the city wall was only one meter high. Now it has been widened a lot."

Fa Zheng smiled slightly, "Didn't Your Highness use Yu Ze as an undercover agent? What else are you worried about?"

"I'm afraid that Cao Hong will be suspicious and will not give Yu Ze the actual military power. Yu Ze, an undercover agent, will not play any role. In fact, I am more optimistic about Ren Ping and believe he will not disappoint me."

Just as the guards reported at the door: "Your Highness, the governor has arrived."

Liu Jing was overjoyed and quickly ordered: "Please ask him to get in."

After a moment, I walked into the big tent quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I am humble in my position, see Your Highness."

Liu Jing quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "Zhongye has been defending Xiangfan for many years, so I have no worries on my back. I, Liu Jing, understand the achievements of Zhongye."

"Your Highness has been awarded the award. In recent years, he has been mediocre. He has neither participated in the Northern Expedition nor attacked Guanzhong, nor has he made contributions in the Han-Hungary War. However, he has won many high positions. He feels ashamed of his hiring."

"I don't have much too Qian, Zhongye, please sit down."

Liu Jing patted Pin's arm and asked Pin to sit down. Pin nodded to Fazheng. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw the city model at a glance. He suddenly became curious and walked quickly to the model. He recognized the city at a glance and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this Wancheng."

"Just" Liu Jing walked forward with a smile, "Zhongye might as well take a look, what's wrong?"

Pin knew Wancheng very well. He looked carefully several times and frowned and said, "The moat is a little wrong."

Liu Jing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

He pointed to several city gateways: "This should be the pattern of last spring, but in the autumn of last year, Wancheng re-made and extended the suspension bridge. The length of the suspension bridge changed from the original meter to four or five feet, because the moat at the city gate was also widened by one or five feet, which made the original loophole fill."

Liu Jing showed disappointment on his face. He originally found that the moat at the four city gates was less than a foot wide and could attack from the city gates, but he did not expect that Cao's army actually widened the river channel here, which made his hopes fail.

At this time, Pin smiled and said, "If Your Highness just wants to cross the moat, it is actually not difficult. I know where the weakness of the moat is."
