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

Chapter 84 A brilliant plan (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…4139~)

The next morning.

According to the spies, Ji Ling led an army of 20,000 and left Pingyu County directly and headed towards the Ruyin line.

Obviously Ji Ling didn't know that Yiyang County had been occupied by Wei Yan.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't have the energy to care.

Shouchun has been under siege for many days now. If we cannot relieve the siege in time.

Once Yuan Shu was captured or died, what would be the point of Runan County being not lost?
After learning that Ji Ling had taken all the troops away, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao were overjoyed.

Zhang Liao smiled and said:

"God is really helping me! As long as we take Pingyu County, we can cut off Ji Ling's escape route.

"Of course, with Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin waiting for them in Anfeng County, Ji Ling may not be able to withdraw his troops!
"Now, all we have to do is find a way to take over Pingyu County."

Wei Yan nodded slightly:

“Having said that, Pingyu County still has a thousand defenders, while we only have three thousand troops.

“Although the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp can fight against a hundred enemies with one, they cannot show their advantages in siege warfare.

"How can we occupy Pingyu County at the lowest cost?"

Zhang Liao smiled calmly, and suddenly took out a red brocade bag from his arms:
"Before I left, the lord gave me a golden bag.

"They said we should open it before attacking Pingyu County. I think it's time."

Wei Yan was immediately surprised:

"I didn't expect that my lord had such a brilliant plan? You really are worthy of being my master, Wei Yan!"

Zhang Liao smiled and immediately opened the brocade bag under Wei Yan's gaze.

After reading the contents of the note in the brocade bag, both of them showed admiration in their eyes:

"So you can do this... My lord is truly a god!"

……

Pingyu County.

The prefect Yuan Yin was feeling very anxious at this moment.

Yesterday he received news that Yiyang County was occupied by sudden enemy forces.

So when Ji Ling arrived with a large army, he was overjoyed.

Immediately tell the other party about what happened in Yiyang County, hoping that the other party could leave more troops in Pingyu County.

However, Ji Ling directly rejected his request, saying that the military situation in Shouchun City was extremely urgent.

They had to make every effort to rescue Shouchun City, and even wanted to take away the only 1,000 soldiers and horses in Pingyu County.

It was only because he tried his best to stop it that the other party gave up.

Obviously, in Ji Ling's view, Runan County is no longer necessary and all efforts must be made to resolve the crisis in Jiujiang County.

Otherwise, once Yuan Shu was defeated, Runan would have no reason to exist.

Yuan Yin was very dissatisfied with this.

He is Yuan Shu's nephew. Even if Yuan Shu was defeated in the end, Yuan Yao would not have escaped.

With his status, he should inherit the remaining power of Yuan Shu and continue to fight for hegemony with the princes.

Why treat him like a discarded pawn?
Just when Yuan Yin was worried about his future, General Liang Gang suddenly came to report:

"My Lord! There are 2,500 people from Yiyang County rushing here! How should we respond?"

Yuan Yin's face immediately showed panic, then he pretended to be calm and said:

"With only 2,500 men and horses, you want to capture the city of Pingyu? It's simply a pipe dream!
"As long as we hold on to the city, the enemy won't be able to capture us in a short time!"

Liang Gang hesitated and said:

"But according to the spies, one thousand of these people are wearing heavy black armor. They seem to be... they seem to be the legendary trap camp!"

"what?!"

The panic on Yuan Yin's face could no longer be concealed:
"Then, then what should we do? Abandon the city and flee before they arrive?"

Liang Gang was silent for a moment and then replied:
"That's not necessary. We can try to defend the city first and use the advantages of the city to wear down the enemy's forces as much as possible. "If we really can't defend it, it won't be too late to abandon the city and escape."

Yuan Yin calmed down slightly:

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Yuan Yin then followed Liang Gang to the top of the city wall and saw a large number of enemy troops approaching the city wall.

The enemy's army formation was neat and uniform, and among them there was clearly a group of soldiers wearing black armor, they should be the Xianzhen Camp that Liang Gang mentioned!

Yuan Yin felt flustered again:
"The one who was able to force his way through the Dabie Mountains must be the trap camp.

"I never thought that I could actually fight against the Xianzhen Camp myself. Lu Bu really thinks highly of me..."

What surprised Yuan Yin was that the 2,500 enemy troops did not launch an attack immediately after approaching the city wall.

Instead, they surrounded the city on all sides and set up camp very close to the city walls.

It’s as if they treat Pingyu County as their own.

Seeing this scene, even though Yuan Yin was timid, he felt extremely insulted.

He hammered hard on the wall and cursed in a low voice:

"This group of people is really going too far!"

Liang Gang saw that Yuan Yin looked unhappy, and hurriedly advised:

"Please calm down, Lord. The enemy is doing this just to lure us out of the city and then take the opportunity to counterattack us.

"As long as we ignore it, the initiative will still be in our hands!"

Yuan Yin nodded:

"What the General said is very true. Let's see what they will do next."

While the enemy was setting up camp, a general approached the city wall alone and shouted loudly to Yuan Yin on the upper floor:
"Is the person upstairs the stray dog ​​Yuan Yin?"

Hearing this insult, Yuan Yin immediately flew into a rage:
"How dare you, a lowly military commander, insult this governor? Who gave you the qualifications?"

Wei Yan laughed out loud:

"I am my master's trusted and beloved general. Can't I get the position of governor if I want it?

“As for you, a useless person with only a thousand soldiers, you still want to defend this square city?

"Now that Shouchun City has been captured by my master, Yuan Shu is probably dead. If you are not a lost dog, then what are you?"

Faced with such a powerful troll, Yuan Yin had never suffered such an insult before. He was about to send troops to fight him immediately, but was stopped by Liang Gang.

Seeing that the other side did not send out troops, Wei Yan continued to provoke:
"Yuan Yin, calm down and don't waste your troops by sending them out.

"Once my master takes Shouchun, he will immediately send a large army to take Pingyu.

“The one thousand soldiers and horses in your city will be important resources for our army!

"The reason we are stationed here is just to prevent you from escaping with a thousand soldiers.

"You are trapped in a jar, so don't get angry and get yourself into trouble.

“Although you are incompetent, you still have a little prestige.

"Maybe my master is in a good mood and can give you a job as a horse breeder!"

Yuan Yin, who was on the city wall, was already gasping for breath in anger as he listened to Wei Yan's constant verbal abuse.

Liang Gang was afraid that Yuan Yin would die of anger, so he quickly pulled him down from the tower and kept comforting him:

“My Lord, please pay no attention to that man with a mouth full of gold juice.

"You rest in the mansion. I will take care of the city defense and make sure Pingyu County is as strong as a rock!"

After Yuan Yin could no longer hear Wei Yan's scolding, his breathing gradually calmed down.

He patted Liang Gang on the shoulder and returned to the prefect's mansion with the help of his servants.

Liang Gang returned to the city wall alone.

Seeing Liang Gang returning alone, Wei Yan curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile.

He suddenly waved his hand, and the siege horn sounded immediately!
