Chapter 213: Soldiers approaching the city

(March 3rd, 190) Last night, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan led his army to leave, Zhang Yang ordered all the troops outside the city to enter Jinyang City, intending to rely on the tall and strong walls of Jinyang to resist the attack of Gao Shun's army. At the same time, Zhang Yang sent an envoy to Yecheng, Jizhou, to join forces with Yuan Shao of Jizhou and let him send troops to Gao Shun's rear. After defeating Yang Fan, the two families divided the Bingzhou equally. From the beginning, Zhang Yang did not intend to share Bingzhou with the two brothers Hu Chuquan. The previous words were just to appease them and let them work hard for him.

"Haha, Yang Bowen, although your Yang family army has good combat power, I, Zhang Yang, are not a vegetarian. As long as Yuan Shao's army comes, it will be the time when your Yang family army is destroyed."

Zhang Yang sat alone in the study, drinking a small wine while smiling proudly.

At this time, Zhang Yang had already begun to fantasize about the helpless expression of Gao Shun's defeat. He Zhang Yang led his army to step into the four northern counties of Bingzhou and became the lord of Bingzhou. The more Zhang Yang thought about it, he became more and more excited. Finally, he murmured with a little crazy: "When I and Yuan Shao surrounded your camp, see what you should use to fight me. At that time, your army, generals, counselors, and even your wife are mine, haha... I will soon become the lord of Bingzhou. Then, I will develop steadily for several years, and then rush my army to advance eastward to compete with Yuan Shao for Jizhou. With the foundation of the Yang family army, Yuan Shao will definitely not be my opponent. After destroying Yuan Shao, I will take Youzhou again, haha... The entire north of the Han area is mine, haha..."

In the early morning of the fourth day of the third month, the sky was slightly bright, and the soldiers guarding the city in Jinyang suddenly found that Jinyang City was surrounded by the Yang family army at some point. Looking at the flags waving and the rigorous military formation, the soldiers guarding the city were so scared that they trembled like sieves. Then they quickly woke Zhang Yi and reported the matter to him.

"What? What are you talking about? Gao Shun's army was still in Yanmen County yesterday, so how could it surround my Jinyang City today? Besides, there are also Langmeng, Yun County, Yangqu, and Wuxi County in the north of my Taiyuan County, and there are Fenshui River in the north of Jinyang. Are the defenders at the ferry entrance blind? "

Zhang Yang's confused head suddenly woke up, and he grabbed the soldiers' clothes and shouted, obviously he didn't believe that Gao Shun had already besieged the city.

"Lord... lord, just go and see it yourself... you will know that the Yang family army is really besieging the city."

Looking at Zhang Yang's fierce eyes, the soldier couldn't help swallowing and replied.

"Hmph, come here, I will put on armor for you."

Zhang Yang threw the soldiers aside, and then called the maid to wash and dress him.

A few quarters of an hour later, Zhang Yang came to the head of Jinyang City surrounded by a group of soldiers. When he looked up, he found that as the soldiers said just now, Gao Shun's army had already built a camp four or five miles outside the city, obviously taking the long-term siege of the city.

"When did Gao Shun arrive? Why did you notify me now? The generals of the four northern counties guarding the city? Why didn't Gao Shun's entry come from? What about the defenders at the Fenshui River Ferry? Ah? People have started to build camps. Judging from the scale, it was obviously arrived last night. Why did you come to report now?"

Zhang Yang was stunned, and then he cursed in anger, and the generals around him bowed their heads and said nothing.

"General, the last general thinks that the general is not the time to hold accountable. Now that the Yang family army is at the city, it is a foregone conclusion. The general should make plans early."

Zhang Yang's general Yu Du immediately spoke.

"What General Yu said is exactly."

Bai Luo frowned and said.

"What are the insights of the two generals?"

Bai Luo and Yu Du, the two generals Zhang Yang, rely the most on the most. These two were bandits of the Black Mountains. They left Zhang Niujiao and led 10,000 Black Mountain troops to surrender to Zhang Yang. Since then, Zhang Yang has always brought the two generals by his side and asked them to give advice for themselves.

"Gao Shun is famous, and his camp is able to defend the fierceness of the cavalry. Our army cannot go out of the city to fight against it, so there is no chance of winning. Only now, our army should defend Jinyang City to the death, and then send messengers to the county town in Taiyuan County that has not yet been lost, so that it can bring its troops to the other side, and then let General Yang Chou lead 20,000 troops from Shangdang County to rescue. At that time, our army will attack on both sides, and Gao Shun's army will be defeated."

Yu Du said with a smile.

"Why is General Yu so sure to defeat Gao Shun?"

Yu Du's plan was to break the boat and take a different approach. Although it could have a miraculous effect, it could not guarantee that he would definitely defeat Gao Shun. Zhang Yang was a little confused and asked.

"I also think that I can defeat Gao Shun. General Zhang, you might as well think about it this way. Jinyang City is tall and solid. Our army has 30,000 people. The food in the city is enough for a year. Our army only needs to defend the city. Gao Shun may not be able to capture it. Gao Shun cannot capture it for a long time. He will definitely exhaust his troops and his morale will be depressed. At that time, our army will attack on both sides. How can there be a reason to be invincible?"

Bai Luo said.

"But if all my troops were concentrated in Jinyang, wouldn't Shangdang County have no soldiers to defend?"

Zhang Yang said hesitantly and worriedly.

"General Zhang, you are the commander of our army. If you are gone, no matter how many soldiers and horses of Shangdang are, it will be a bargaining for others. Time is too late. Please ask General Zhang to stop it if it is broken."

Yu Du then said in a deep voice.

"What General Yu said is reasonable, then act according to General Yu's plan."

Zhang Yang then saw the current situation clearly, and then gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing that Zhang Yang had made up his mind, Yu Du and Bai Ruo showed mysterious smiles.

What Zhang Yang didn't know was Yu Du. The second general Bai Zao had already defected to Yang Fan a few years ago. He just returned from Huashaoshan Military Academy a few years ago. He was entrusted by Yang Fan with an important task and arranged to Zhang Yang. If Zhang Yang knew about this, he would definitely spit out a mouthful of old blood and would not bully people like this. He was so powerful in wars and used conspiracies. Is this still allowed others to play with?

That night, dozens of cavalry rushed out of Jinyang City and ran in different directions. After seeing this, Gao Shun did not send troops to intercept them and let them go. A cavalry who was asking for help ran for dozens of miles and suddenly turned his head and ran into Gao Shun's camp, bringing Gao Shun the latest news in Jinyang City.

After Gao Shun received Yu Du and Bai Luo's letter, he quickly summoned Tian Feng, Ju Su, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to discuss matters. After the four arrived, Gao Shun smiled and said, "Justice Yu just now, and Yan Zhangyang has sent a messenger to order Yang Chou, who was stationed in Shangdang County, to lead his army to support him."

"General Yu? Where is the general?"

Tian Feng followed Yang Fan for a while and asked in confusion after hearing this.

"Oh, look, I forgot about this. Yuan Hao, Duke and you have joined our Yang family army for a short time. I don't know that General Yu is reasonable. In fact, a few years ago, our Lord surrendered Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Black Mountain Army. General Yu is General Yu Du, the general under General Zhang. A few years ago, the second general Bai Zao was arranged by our Lord to be the general by Zhang Yang as a general."

Gao Shun patted his forehead and explained.

"What? The Black Mountain Army had surrendered the lord a few years ago?"

Ju Su was shocked when he heard this, and then shouted in shock.
