After Li Daozong was ordered to leave, he led an army of 30,000 people and quickly headed towards Yangcheng County.

The other generals noticed the movement of soldiers and horses, and they quickly rushed to the commander's tent.

When Xu Ji saw the generals entering the camp one after another, he immediately said: "Generals, please don't be impatient. I know what you want to ask. General Li Daozong has been sent by me to surprise Yangcheng County. You should have a good night's rest."

The generals felt at ease after hearing this.

Immediately, all the generals returned to camp and began to rest.

At this time, Li Daozong rushed towards Yangcheng County with an army of 30,000.

Soon, Li Daozong's troops arrived in Yangcheng County before dawn.

Although they were approaching the city gate, Li Daozong ordered the soldiers to stop where they were.

Immediately afterwards, Li Daozong sent scouts to investigate.

The scouts in the army quickly ran around Yangcheng County, and then they returned to Li Daozong and reported to him.

After listening to the report, Li Daozong suddenly thought to himself: 'The Yangcheng County defenders are so negligent. It seems that this is a credit given to me by God.'

After sighing with emotion, Li Daozong sent a small team to climb the city using ropes.

In a short time, the small team quickly climbed onto the tower.

At this time, the Wei army on the tower was still sleeping soundly, because they did not expect that the Xia army would come to seize the city.

After the team sent out by Li Daozong climbed onto the city tower, they eliminated the defenders on the city tower without anyone noticing.

Then, this small team came to the city and began to open the city gate.

Li Daozong outside the city saw that the city gate was slowly opening, and he suddenly thought to himself: 'It seems that we have succeeded.'

After sighing with emotion, Li Daozong gave an order and ordered his 30,000 troops to rush into the city.

When the Yangcheng guard received the news, Li Daozong's tribe had already reached the hinterland of the city.

When the guard of Yangcheng heard the shouts of killing getting closer and closer, he no longer had the courage to continue guarding.

In just a short while, the Yangcheng guard packed up his things and fled.

The defenders in Yangcheng County were completely defeated by Li Daozong's tribe because their general fled.

Most of the ten thousand troops in the city became prisoners of Li Daozong's tribe.

After daybreak, Li Daozong's troops also successfully captured Yangcheng County.

Immediately, Li Daozong ordered the Xixia flag to be planted on the city tower in Yangcheng County.

Then, Li Daozong sent someone to inform Xu Ji.

When the messenger rushed to Xu Ji's outdoor camp, Xu Ji and others had just gotten up.

Soon, Xu Ji saw the messenger and learned the news about Li Daozong's tribe.

After listening to the report, Xu Ji laughed three times and summoned his generals.

When all the generals gathered, Xu Ji immediately told everyone about Li Daozong's victory.

The generals were also shocked after hearing this.

At this time, Xu Rong sighed: "Xu Zhengdong, General Li captured Yangcheng County overnight. Such speed is really astonishing to the general!"

The other generals also praised him again and again.

Seeing this, Xu Ji immediately said: "Generals, since General Li has taken Yangcheng County, let's go to Yangcheng County to discuss it again!"

All the generals agreed upon hearing this.

Immediately, Xu Ji ordered the army to march towards Yangcheng County.

Besides, the general who defended the city who escaped from Yangcheng County rode a horse and rushed all the way. He arrived at Yangguan in one day.

When the Cao Wei defenders at Yangguan saw the general defending the city in Yangcheng County, they immediately shouted to stop him.

Peng Chang, the guard of Yangcheng, immediately shouted: "I am Peng Chang, the guard of Yangcheng. I have something important to report. Please let me in."

Hearing what Peng Chang said, the Yangguan defenders were all shocked.

Soon, some soldiers went to report to Yangguan guard Zhu Heng.

When Zhu Heng learned that Yangcheng guard Peng Chang had arrived alone, he hurried to the tower to check.

After Zhu Heng confirmed Peng Chang's identity, he immediately ordered the switch to be turned on.

After Peng Chang entered the customs, Zhu Heng quickly came to Peng Chang.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Heng asked: "Brother Peng Chang, why did you come to me alone when you weren't staying in Yangcheng County?"

"Brother Zhu Heng, I have neglected my duty. Yangcheng County has fallen into the hands of Xia Jun."

Upon hearing this suddenly, Zhu Heng's expression also changed drastically.

"Brother Peng Chang, what did you say?"

After Peng Chang confirmed it, Zhu Heng quickly took Peng Chang to his residence.

Then, Zhu Heng carefully interrogated the entire process of the fall of Yangcheng County.

Peng Chang knew that drinking would cause trouble, so he answered in an easy-to-understand manner.

After listening to Peng Chang's report, Zhu Heng also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Brother Peng, it seems that Xixia is serious about it this time. You stay in Yangguan to help me for the time being. I will send someone to inform General Cao Ren."

Peng Chang agreed immediately after hearing this.

Immediately, Zhu Hengxuan sent a soldier to deliver the message urgently for 800 miles.

At the same time, Xu Ji's army also entered Yangcheng County and joined Li Daozong.

Soon, Xu Ji summoned his generals.

When the generals arrived in front of Xu Ji, Xu Ji immediately said: "Generals, this time General Li captured Yangcheng County overnight. We have a foothold. How will we march next?"

I plan to listen to your opinions."

All the generals were stunned after hearing this.

Seeing this, Xu Ji quietly began to observe.

After a while, Li Daozong took the lead and said: "General Xu, I think we can besiege Yangguan."

Hearing that Li Daozong spoke first, the other generals all turned their attention to him.

At this time, Xu Ji asked the reason.

"General Li, can you tell me the reason for doing this?"

Seeing what Xu Ji said, Li Daozong immediately began to explain: "Back to the general, I think that the best way is to besiege Yangguan. This is because the Northern Wei Dynasty also deployed a large number of troops in Xu County. Although our army

There are 100,000 people, but it is difficult for our army alone to completely capture Xu County."

"Not only that, if our army besieges Yangguan, Cao Ren of Xu County will have trouble sleeping and eating. In this way, our army will continue to weaken the will of the Wei army to fight. When Your Majesty leads the army to attack, our army will conquer Yangguan in one go.

In this way, we can encircle Xu County with Your Majesty."

After listening to Li Daozong's explanation, Xu Ji's eyes were full of appreciation.

At this moment, Wei Yan put forward a different opinion.

"General Xu, I think it's impossible."

Seeing that Wei Yan had spoken, Xu Ji immediately asked, "What do you think, General Wei Yan?"

"Returning to General Xu, I think that if our army of 100,000 people is only used as a containment, it will be overqualified and underused."

"Oh? Does General Wei Yan have any good plans?"

"Back to General Xu, since Yangguan is the only way for our army to reach Xu County, we should take it directly. If the Wei army is allowed to control Yangguan, our army will not be able to assist your majesty at all."

After listening to Wei Yan's words, Xu Ji also looked thoughtful.

At this time, Li Daozong was also thinking about which one was better, Wei Yan's plan or his own.

The other generals did not say much.

After a while, Xu Ji said: "Both what General Li and General Wei said have some truth. Let me think about it some more."

After hearing this, all the generals agreed.

After that, Xu Ji ordered the army to temporarily rest in Yangcheng County.

Not long after, Cao Ren in Xu County received an urgent letter from Zhu Heng, the guard general of Yangguan.
