Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 249: Small but cute~ (Thanks to Ye Luoxiuxin for the monthly ticket support~)

a few days later.

After Huang Yueying finished breastfeeding, she walked out of the room holding her son Lu Xuan.

After a few days of recuperation, she has regained a lot of strength.

Looking at the child in her arms, she always felt weird.

Is this the child she and her husband had...just left her belly like that?
Even though several days had passed, she still hadn't gotten used to the sudden transfer of the heaviness in her stomach to her hands...

At this time, Lu Lingqi happened to walk into the yard, saw Huang Yueying and the child in her arms, and ran over excitedly like a magpie.

Even though we have met before, seeing this little brother now still makes me feel curious:
"It's small, but also very cute."

Huang Yueying felt a little proud.

After all, she was the first concubine to give birth to a son for her man.

In addition, since Sister Qingqing is unable to have children, Lu Xuan will definitely be trained as the eldest son in the future.

And the sisters have a harmonious relationship.

As long as Lu Xuan performs well in the future, she will most likely inherit her husband's identity and status!

Of course, Huang Yueying didn't have too many fantasies.

She didn't want her son to be overly involved in the struggle for power. It was enough for him to grow up healthy.

If Erqiao or other sisters gave birth to better sons in the future.

She would also tell her son not to compete with their sons for status.

But these are things that need to be thought about later...

……

Ba County, Qu County.

In the Chinese army's tent.

Zhang Liao was discussing with his generals the specific plan for attacking Yangqu County:
"Yangqu City is the last strategic point leading to Bazhong. As long as we can capture it, we can go straight to Jiangzhou, the seat of Bajun!

"After we capture Jiangzhou, the southern part of Ba County will be in our army's hands!

"By then, we can easily take over the northern part of Ba County which is being held back by Zhang Lu."

Zhang Liao's mighty gaze swept across the crowd:

"What we need to do now is to capture the fortified city of Yangqu. Do you have any ideas?"

Veteran General Huang Gai immediately said:

“There are currently 10,000 defenders in Yangqu City, and our army has 40,000 troops.

"Why not divide the troops into four parts and concentrate the siege equipment to attack one side. I think it should be easy to take it down."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Liao tactfully rejected the other party's proposal:
“Although the old general’s method is simple and crude, the enemy general Wu Yi is a general with rich combat experience and bravery.

“Once he sees that our army is concentrating its attack on one place, he will definitely concentrate his forces to fight back.

"In this case, even if our army finally succeeds, we will suffer heavy losses..."

Huang Gai felt that Zhang Liao's analysis made sense, so he could only lower his head.

Seeing that everyone was out of ideas, Zhang Liao turned his gaze to Zhou Yu beside him.

I believe this top strategist must have some ideas.

However, Zhou Yu looked at Yan Yan who remained silent and asked with a smile:

"General Yan is quite familiar with the humanities and geography of Ba County. I wonder if there is any way to help our army break through the city?"

Yan Yan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, he suddenly thought of something, sighed and shook his head.

Seeing that Yan Yan seemed to have something to hide, Zhou Yu said to everyone:

"Since you all have no idea for now, let's wait a few days before making a decision."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao ordered all the soldiers to retreat first.

Just when Yan Yan was about to leave, Zhou Yu suddenly patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to stay.

When only Zhang Liao and Yan Yan were left in the tent, Zhou Yu poured a glass of wine for Yan Yan and asked in a casual tone:

"Just now I saw the old general hesitated to speak, I guess he has something on his mind.

“You are now a general in our army, but you have not yet truly integrated into the army.

"If you can make achievements at this time, you will be respected by other generals!" So General Yan can speak his mind.

"There are no outsiders here. If there is anything unspeakable, we will not mention it to outsiders."

Hearing Zhou Yu speak directly, Yan Yan held the wine jar, looked at the clear wine, and after a long silence, he finally sighed and said:

"I have a method that can quickly break into the city.

"But when I think about the fact that this method may cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers in Yangqu City, I can't bear it..."

Seeing that Yan Yan really had a solution, Zhang Liao and Zhou Yu looked at each other and hurriedly asked:

"General Yan, please tell us first. If this plan is really vicious, we will not use it.

"If there is room for maneuver, we can also improve it!"

Seeing Zhang Liao's sincere words, Yan Yan looked at him intently and finally relented:
“There is also a big river in Yangqu City that runs through the entire city from south to north.

"All the soldiers and civilians in the city drink from this river.

"If...if General Zhang sent someone to sneak up the south bank of Yangqu City in the middle of the night and throw...poison into the river!
"In a few days, Yangqu City will fall without a fight!"

After Yan Yan finished speaking, the expression on his face was extremely heavy.

Obviously, this is indeed a very effective method of trapping a city, but it is also a very vicious strategy!

After hearing this, Zhang Liao and Zhou Yu also fell silent.

Zhang Liao sighed:

“It is indeed a strategy that can quickly capture a city, but our army is not attacking a city to massacre it.

“The population in the city is the most valuable thing.

"If we poison them all to death, it will be meaningless even if we take over this city, and it will also make our army lose its reputation..."

Yan Yan tapped the table with his finger bones and agreed:

"I think so too!"

At this time, Zhang Liao noticed that Zhou Yu had not spoken, so he asked:

"Gongjin, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhou Yu glanced at the two of them and suddenly grinned:
"Why do we have to poison? If we don't poison, we can use something else, such as..."

"Like what?"

Zhang Liao and Yan Yan asked with their eyes wide open.

However, Zhou Yu stopped there and drank the wine in the jar with a smile:

"Please allow me to keep it a secret for a while. The two generals will know the answer in a few days!"

Seeing this, Yan Yan could only say:

"I just hope that the military advisor can minimize unnecessary casualties in the city..."

Zhou Yu restrained his smile and clasped his fists solemnly:
"General Yan, rest assured, I, Zhou Yu, am not a ruthless person!

"Even if I wanted to, the lord would never allow us to kill and injure the people on a large scale."

Yan Yan finally felt relieved and stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhou Yu:

"If so, please feel free to command me, Military Advisor!"

Zhou Yu stood up, held Yan Yan's fist, and raised his voice:
“There is indeed one thing that General Yan needs to do.

“General Yan is familiar with the nearby mountains. He can take a dozen soldiers to the mountains near Yangqu City to see if there is a small path that can bypass Yangqu City.

“Then we will send a thousand soldiers through this path to the rear of Yangqu City.

"If Wu Yi tries to escape when the city is breached, we can capture him in one fell swoop!"

Yan Yan immediately took the order and left.

In the next few days, Zhou Yu ordered people to transfer a batch of supplies from Jingzhou, and stayed with the military doctors every day.

Yan Yan lived up to everyone's expectations and really found an extremely steep path on Huanghualing Mountain in the northwest of Yangqu City.

It is only wide enough for one person to pass through, and if you are not careful, you will fall off a cliff hundreds of meters high.

After everything was ready, Zhou Yu asked Yan Yan to lead a thousand elite soldiers, each carrying a packet of unknown medicinal powder.

Take this path and quietly go around to the back of Yangqu City.

Zhang Liao led an army of 30,000, advancing both by land and sea, and marched towards Yangqu City in a mighty manner!
