Chapter 438 Chi Yang is trapped

Not to mention that the Han and Wei armies in Anling City are fighting fiercely, Yang Qing in Chiyang City is also fighting fiercely with the Wei army.

Back a day ago, Wei general Bian Bao finally arrived at the city of Chiyang, but they did not launch an attack on the city, but only blocked the roads outside the city, not knowing what the purpose was.

Yang Qing felt that the Wei army's actions were a bit strange, so he asked Wu Que to personally lead people out of the city to monitor the movements of the Wei army, while discussing with the generals to take the initiative.

Although he did not know Bian Bao's real purpose, he knew that the Wei army must not block the road he went out. He must first take the initiative to fight and break the blockade of the Wei army.

"Everyone, at present, the Wei army guards the important roads outside Chiyang City, and the intention of the bandit general Bian Bao seems to want to seal us in this Chiyang City. We must not sit still and wait for death.

Not to mention that there are only thousands of people in Chiyang City, there are not much food, and the city walls are short and cannot be kept for a long time. Besides, there is no plan to stay here for a long time.

Therefore, he wanted to take the initiative to break the blockade of the Wei army first and disrupt Bian Bao's plan to prevent him from having any conspiracy behind him." Yang Qing said bluntly when he saw that the generals were all here.

Zhang Yi, who was in the lower left, asked with a fist, "I wonder how the envoy plans to attack?"

"What are your opinions?" Yang Qing asked back. He still followed the old rules and prepared to listen to the opinions of the generals first, and then make a decision after focusing on his ideas.

Zhang Yi said: "According to the horse exploration, although the Wei army deployed troops at the four roads, they mainly focused on the south and west sides. Their intention was self-evident, so that our army would not return to the west bank of Jingshui to go south to meet the prime minister.

I thought that since the Wei army did not want us to move closer to the Prime Minister's army, we insisted on opening up the passage back to the west bank of the Jing River, so that their plan to isolate our army and the Prime Minister's army failed. Therefore, I suggested sending cavalry to the southwest to assault and break the Wei army's blockade."

After hearing this, Yang Qing nodded slightly and smiled, "Boqi's words are reasonable. What are your tricks?"

"The envoy, I think our army should not only focus on the blockade of the Wei army. At present, there are only more than 4,000 Wei troops outside the city. Although they are all elite cavalry and have strong combat power, they have long been exhausted when they return to the rescue.

On the other hand, our army not only has twice the strength of the enemy, but has also been resting for a day, and its strength and morale have been restored. The enemy is few and we are tired and strong. Why not directly attack the Bianbao camp and defeat this Wei cavalry in one fell swoop." Liu Yin said.

Yang Qing said: "No, this Ji had thought about it before, but it was too dangerous, so he abandoned it. Although the Wei cavalry led by Bian Bao was exhausted, he had not yet reached the point of being unable to fight. Otherwise, he would not have been too brave to disperse his troops and block the outer roads.

Secondly, although our army is large, there are still only more than 3,000 old soldiers who are fighting. They are not sure of winning when they leave the city to fight the enemy. If they are defeated, it will be unfavorable to the overall situation. So don’t, this plan is too risky and there is no possibility of implementation.”

After hearing this, Liu Yin realized that he had thought the plan too simply, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

"Haha, although this plan cannot be used now, it has broadened my mindset for me and may be able to use it in the future. You can tell me what you have if you have any ideas. Even if it cannot be implemented, at least you can check for omissions." Yang Qing saw that Liu Yin's tone was a little depressed, and was afraid that everyone would not dare to propose plans, so he smiled and encouraged.

"Report, report to the envoy, the governor of Wu is seeking a meeting outside." As soon as he finished speaking, the guards on duty outside reported at the door.

Yang Qing was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew that Wu Que would bring back important information when he returned to the city. He hurriedly said, "Let him in."

Wu Que entered the hall, clasped his fists and shouted, "Encourt." He bowed to the others again.

"Shuqi, what's the situation outside? Is there any good news?"

Wu Que said: "Eunuch, I found two bad news and one good news."

"Oh? That's interesting."

Yang Qing looked at everyone and smiled and said, "I have always liked to be bitter first and then sweet. How about we listen to the bad news first?"

Zhang Yi and others had long been aroused by Wu Que's words, and were eager to know the content of the news, so they quickly replied in unison: "We are willing to listen to the bad news first."

"Shuqi, just say it. No matter how unfavorable the situation occurs, as long as we work together, we can stand it." Yang Qing said.

Wu Que responded and said, "The first bad news that Bei Yi received was that Deng'en's army, who was defeated and fled by our army the day before yesterday, has arrived at the periphery of Chiyang and joined forces with the Bianbao's army. Now the Wei army blocked in the southwest has increased to two thousand cavalry."

"Two thousand riders?"

Zhang Yi exclaimed, frowned, and said to Yang Qing: "Empress, the Wei army has a force of two thousand troops in the southwest direction. It may be difficult for our army to break the blockade in one fell swoop."

"Um."

Yang Qing nodded without saying anything, still calm, and said slowly: "Don't panic, listen to Uncle Qi first."

"yes."

Wu Que continued to inform everyone: "The second bad news is about Feng Chong and the others. According to the news from Youwei in Yunyang County, Feng Chong followed Yan He into Yunyang County and rushed into the carefully designed ambush by the Wei army for a while.

Although Feng Chong and the others finally successfully broke through, they still suffered heavy losses. Now there are only two or three hundred people left, and they are no longer able to delay Yan He's troops' return to help. At present, Yan He's troops are only fifty or sixty miles away from Chi Yang. It is expected that they will arrive at Chi Yang in the latest two days to meet with Bian Bao and others."

"This...what should I do?"

"Once Yan He and Bian Bao and the others meet, our army will be in danger."

"It seems that Chiyang City can't stay anymore."

......

The news that Feng Chong's troops were severely damaged was even worse than the first one. When the generals heard this, they were quite worried, fearing that they would be surrounded and killed by the Wei army in this small town of Chiyang.

"Don't panic, don't you? Didn't Shuqi say there is still good news? It's not too late for everyone to talk about it after hearing the good news." Yang Qing still said in a calm tone.

Everyone immediately stopped the noise and waited for Wu Que's following.

Wu Que continued: "The good news is that Prime Minister Zhuge has led his army across the Wei River and is now heading towards Anling City where Cao Zhen is stationed. At most one day, Cao Zhen will be besieged by our army in Anling City."

Seeing that everyone was so depressed by the two bad news, he informed the good news in an excited tone, and at the end he laughed happily.

Everyone was infected by him. Thinking that Cao Zhen was about to become a turtle in the jar, his mood suddenly improved, and everyone cheered happily.

Yang Qing was also very happy and said with a smile: "It seems that Shuqi's good news is better than two bad news. If we count it, we will still make a profit." Everyone laughed loudly when they heard what he said.

"Empress, since we have received the news that Prime Minister Zhuge led a large army to Anling, Bao and the others must have known about this.

Now that Cao Zhen has only thousands of soldiers and horses around him, he must mobilize troops to reinforce from other places. Yan, Bian Bao and others may be ordered to abandon me and rush straight to Anling." Zhang Yi analyzed.

Yang Qing nodded and said, "It is very possible. In this way, our army's next action will be slightly changed."

"It turns out that the envoy had already made plans, why are we so tired that we racked our brains here?" Liu Yin complained pretending to be.
