Three days later, Nanyang Wancheng.
"Yuan Shu's reinforcements have not been found yet" Taishou Mansion has now become Liu Xie's temporary palace, put down the information in his hand, Liu Xie frowned and looked at Jia Xu and Li Yan beside him, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be Nanyang is an important place under Yuan Shu's rule, and now it is taken by our army, so it shouldn't be so quiet." ” Jia Xu nodded, they were ready for a big battle with Yuan Shu, Zhao Yun had already built a solid defense in the area of Wuyang and Yexian, but there was no trace of Yuan Shu's reinforcements at this time, which was indeed a bit unexpected.
"The Nanyang army that is hoarded in the Yuyang area still refuses to surrender" Liu Xie turned his head to look at Li Yan: "The grain and grass in their army should not have a few days left." ” "Your Majesty forgives your sins, but the ministers are incompetent."
Li Yan said guiltily, he thought that Wancheng had cut off the other party's grain and grass, and the other party should surrender soon, but in the past three days, he sent people to say surrender every day, although the other party did not refuse, but he refused to agree, which is a bit contrary to common sense, as far as Li Yan knows, this Yuyang defender is not elite, and it should not be so loyal.
"Something is abnormal" Liu Xie sat down, looked at the map in front of him, and finally looked at the area of Zhongyang Mountain and said: "I see that there is also a road here that can lead directly to Nanyang, why has Zhengfang never mentioned here?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know."
Seeing this, Li Yan shook his head with a smile and said: "Zhongyang Mountain, there are bandits everywhere, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after General Zhu Jun pacified the Nanyang Yellow Turban, he opened a killing ring and slaughtered all the 20,000 Yellow Turbans led by Han Zhong, since then, the Nanyang Yellow Turbans did not dare to surrender to the imperial court, and they have fled into the mountains and forests, gathered in the mountains and forests, and occupied the mountains as the king, whether it is a merchant or an army, they will be killed, Zhang Xun has led the army to encircle and suppress it several times, but they are all empty, but it makes this bandit more rampant, and over time, this road will be wasted. ” "There have been several fights," Jia Xu frowned.
"Not bad."
Li Yan nodded and reacted.
"That is to say, in this Nanyang army, there are people who secretly have fornications with these Yellow Turban Yu Party, and their status is probably not low" Liu Xie patted the table, his eyes narrowed slightly: "If it is as expected, at this time, these Yellow Turban Yu Party have already voted for Yuan Shu." ” "This" Li Yan is not sure, but it seems that only this explanation can make sense, if not, it cannot be explained that the Yuyang garrison, which should be easy to surrender, is unwilling to surrender, and the Yuan Shu reinforcements that should have appeared have not appeared for a long time, if the bandits in the area of Zhongyang Mountain choose to be loyal to Yuan Shu, then all this will make sense, and he said bitterly at the moment: "The last general will be negligent, please ask Your Majesty to surrender" "The authorities are obsessed."
Liu Xie shook his head: "Let's prepare for war, if the expectation is good, three days is enough for the enemy army to prepare."
"Then do you notify General Zhao Yun to come to help," Li Yan said worriedly.
"No need, Yexian and Wuyang are also the retreat of our army, and at this moment, there are also 30,000 troops in Wancheng, defending the city, and there is enough food and grass, our army has enough advantages" shook his head, the soldiers and horses of Yexian and Wuyang should not be moved lightly, Zhang Xun gave Liu Xie the opportunity to take advantage of it because he did not support Yexian and Wuyang in time, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, it is true that there are 30,000 troops in the city now, but more than half of them are surrendered troops, although because of Liu Xie's rectification, Yuan Shu's influence in the army has been weakened a lot, but if the war is not going well, these people may not defect.
"Zhengfang, you go and order the generals to prepare for war."
Liu Xie said to Li Yan.
"Huh" Li Yan had to bow down and agree, and turned to leave.
"It seems that this Zhang Xun is not incompetent, and in such a situation, he can still persuade the Yuyang garrison to hold on."
Seeing Li Yan leave, Liu Xie leaned back on the chair, shook his head and smiled.
"How is Your Majesty going to be," Jia Xu asked with a smile.
"First strikes."
Liu Xie shook his head: "I don't want to make enemies on both sides, this time, I am ready to personally attack the Yuyang camp." ” Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this, and frowned: "This matter should be handled by Han De and Wei Xu, Your Majesty is the lord of a country, how can you be in danger?"
"These two are okay to charge into battle, but if you talk about surprise attacks, they are not qualified enough."
Shaking his head, if one of the generals under his command is here, Liu Xie doesn't have to take action in person, but now that the generals are not around, Wei Xu and Han De's martial arts are good, but when he said that the commander, they are all near the passing line, so how can he rest assured Li Yan is not bad, but let him lead an army alone, he may not be able to convince the public, now there is no time for him to take his time, looking at Jia Xu's worried look, Liu Xie smiled and said: "Wen He should not underestimate Yu Zhen, this battle will be won" The commander is different from the force, if the force wants to break through, it needs to be understood between life and death, but the commander pays attention to the grasp of the overall situation, in the dream battlefield, the same can break through the bottleneck, the command ability in the dream battlefield is basically no different from the reality, Liu Xie is now in the dream battlefield, but he can already command the ten thousand troops and Lu Bu, Guan Zhang and other top generals to break their wrists.
Jia Xu didn't know where Liu Xie's confidence came from, if it was someone else, I am afraid that he would have risked his life at this moment, after all, Liu Xie had not shown much talent above the commander before, how could he rest assured, but Jia Xu would not disobey Liu Xie's will after all, so he chose to be silent.
"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, the minister can't say much, but if it can't be violated, I hope Your Majesty can think twice and don't act recklessly."
Jia Xu said solemnly.
If you can't succeed, you can withdraw in time, although Liu Xie has always been quite calm, but after all, he is not very old and is easy to be rash.
"I'm still not at ease."
Shaking his head, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Don't worry, my life, but gold is precious." ” When Jia Xu heard this, he had to smile bitterly and nodded: "When is Your Majesty going to leave?"
"Night."
Liu Xie said without hesitation: "If the enemy army does not appear, I will send troops, and it is expected that I will be able to return tomorrow, and I will still hope for Wen and put more thought into it tonight, no matter whether I succeed or fail, before sunrise tomorrow, I will return."
"Obey."
Jia Xu bowed.
At the moment, Liu Xie ordered people to secretly gather soldiers and horses, this time they wanted the speed of the soldiers, Liu Xie's selection was the elite of the Lanchi camp, after nightfall, Liu Xie asked people to open the south gate, quietly went out of the city gate, and quickly went towards Yuyang.
The soldiers and horses of the Lanchi battalion, but the elite of the imperial court, not only experienced in a hundred battles, but also because there is enough meat to replenish physical strength every day, whether it is physical strength or night vision, it is far beyond ordinary troops, even if it is a night march, it is not much slower than during the day.
It is precisely because of this relationship, coupled with the fact that Zhang Xun has continued to send people to appease in the past two days, and there is still some grain and grass in Yuyang, which is enough for Yuyang's 10,000 troops for half a month, because of this, Li Yan has sent envoys several times and has been rejected by Zhang Wu.
Although he did not tear his face, before Liu Xie and Zhang Xun split the victory, Zhang Wu was obviously not ready to surrender, and even as Zhang Xun said, when the reinforcements arrived in Nanyang, Zhang Wu would immediately raise the flag to support Zhang Xun.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the earth is peaceful.
Liu Xie led the elite of 5,000 Lanchi to finally arrive in Yuyang, and at night, the fire on the city wall of Yuyang was lit, and several defenders could be vaguely seen.
The city gate is naturally closed for a long time, but Yuyang City obviously cannot be compared with Wancheng, there is no moat, and the city wall is only two zhang high, which is not much different from ordinary cities, but because it is adjacent to Xinye, it has become a place to confront Liu Biao.
Five thousand soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Liu Xie, quietly clamored for the Yuyang City Wall to approach.
The defenders on the walls didn't notice anything, and when they got closer, they could see that the defenders' heads were constantly shaking, apparently dozing off.
There were still about twenty zhang away from the city wall, Liu Xie raised his hand, and the soldiers and horses behind him immediately stopped.
After carefully looking at the defense of the city wall, Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh, this Yuyang garrison was very lax, maybe he didn't think that Liu Xie would attack at this time.

"Ready," Liu Xie said in a deep voice.
In the ranks, dozens of soldiers rushed out quickly, and behind them, a long bamboo pole was held against their backs at one end, and the other was held by four soldiers.
The "hands-on" arm was fiercely commanded, and dozens of soldiers took the lead in running, and behind them, a team of four, holding the bamboo pole and following closely, keeping the bamboo pole tightly attached to their backs.
"Rub Rub" A soldier had already rushed to the city, and with the support of the bamboo pole behind him, he rushed up the city wall, rushed up in a few steps, grabbed the edge of the city wall, and swung it hard, falling on the city wall like a civet.
The soldiers defending the city, who were still napping, heard the movement and quickly opened their eyes, but when they entered the eyes, they were reflected by the firelight, a dazzling cold light.
"Puff Puff" Soldiers were constantly being killed in their half-sleep, and at the same time, under the city walls, a second group of soldiers also began to charge.
In the terrible roar of the "enemy attack", someone finally discovered the enemy army, but halfway through the shouting, it stopped abruptly, but even so, this terrible roar was enough to wake up those half-asleep soldiers.
"Kill" Zhao Yan under the support of the bamboo pole, a few steps jumped on the female wall, into the eye, the surrounding enemy troops have been emptied, but on both sides there are constantly enemy troops to kill this side, a knife in the mouth was removed, the face was full of hideous murderous intentions, brandishing the horse chopping knife into the crowd.
"Continue" Under the city wall, seeing that the enemy army was already alert, Liu Xie continued to wave his hand and began to send the third group of soldiers to the city wall, while a team of soldiers held a few improvised stroke hammers made of logs and began to attack the city gate.
On the city wall, although the Yuan army found the enemy and kept rushing over, there were not many defenders tonight, and it was impossible to gather immediately, while the elite of Lanchi outside the city were sent in an endless stream, and they were soon killed by the Lanchi soldiers and horses.
The desolate sound of the horn broke the silence of the night, and the entire Yuyang City began to be chaotic.
"Boom" At this time, the city gate, which was not very heavy, was completely knocked open by Liu Xie's siege team when there was no one to manage it in the city. t1706231537:
