Chapter 0113 Jizhou City is empty

The spy was named Jiang Zhai. He was originally a sergeant in Wu'an City. Once when Xun You saw him in the army, he thought he was quite clever and a talented spy, so he sent him to bring a few people into Jizhou City to collect intelligence. When Geng Wu and Minchun were arrested, the information that the officials close to the Han family were killed by Yuan Shao was sent to send people to send them.

Today, since there was no one under his command, he had to go on his own. Since there were no horses, he rushed all the way. By the time he arrived at Guangping City, it was too late and the city gate had been closed.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, Jiang Chai was so anxious that he stomped his feet. Just as he was hesitating whether to open the city gate or find a nearby village to stay for one night, and ordered people to come into the city to report, a loud voice came from the city: "Who is under the city?"

Jiang Jackie heard the question above and looked up. He saw several soldiers poking out from the gap in the balustrade and looking down. Although there were torches on the city, Jiang Jackie couldn't see the other person's face clearly. Before he could figure out the other person's identity, Jiang Jackie would definitely not reveal his identity casually, but said perfunctorily: "I am the pharmacy shop in the city. I went out of the city to deliver medicine under the order of my boss. Who knew that I would be late to come back. Please give some soldiers a convenience and let the younger ones go to the city!"

The person on the city tower waited for him to finish speaking, and the voice just now asked again: "Which pharmacy are you from?"

Jiang Chai had never entered Guangping City before. He didn't know what medicine shop there was in the city, so he was asked immediately.

When the people on the city tower saw Jiang Zhai speechless, they felt that his identity was suspicious and quickly ordered his left and right: "Be prepared for the bow and arrow!"

Jiang Zhai was shocked when he heard the voice above and thought that if I was shot to death by my own people, it would be too unfair. He quickly raised his head and waved his hands desperately at the top, and said loudly: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows! I am a spy sent by Xun Shaofu to Jizhou. I have urgent military information to report to the Marquis."

"You said you are a spy under Xun Shaofu, what certificates do you have?"

"Some, some, there are waist cards as evidence!" Jiang Zhai quickly took out the waist tag he had carefully kept from his arms and held it high, "If you don't believe it, you can put a hanging basket down and take it for careful inspection."

After a while, a small basket was hung from the top. Jiang Jacky carefully put the waist card into the basket and shouted to it: "Okay, you guys pull it up."

The person talking to Jiang Jacki on the city tower was Zhao Yun. After he pulled the basket up, he picked up the waist sign inside, and used the lighting of the torch to see clearly that the word "spy" was written on it, and behind it were two numbers representing identity.

After confirming the other party's identity, Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers beside him: "Open the city gate and let him in!"

After Zhao Yun stood at the gate of the city waiting for Jiang Zhai to come, he returned the waist card to him and at the same time revealed his identity: "I am General Bi Zhao Yun. You rushed back overnight. Is there anything important?"

When Jiang Chai heard that the person in front of him was General Pian, he quickly knelt down on one knee and reported: "Report to General, the villain discovered that Yuan Shao led his army to Jieqiao, and only 800 county soldiers were left in Jizhou City, so he rewarded him overnight."

"What, what did you say?" Zhao Yun was startled by the news. He grabbed Jiang Zhai's arm, lifted him up from the ground, and asked nervously: "What did you just say? There are only eight hundred county soldiers in Jizhou City now?"

“Yes, it’s true.”

"That's great, this is really great." Zhao Yun said, asking his subordinates to lead a horse to Jiang Zhai, and rode him to the prefect's mansion to report the amazing news to Han Zhan.

When Han Zhan learned about the empty news in Jizhou City, he was stunned at first, and then asked back: "Jiang Chai, are there really only eight hundred county soldiers in Jizhou City?"

"Return to the Marquis," Jiang Chai quickly replied with affirmative support: "Yuan Shao has led his army to Jieqiao, and there are only eight hundred county soldiers left in the city, which is equivalent to an empty city."

Although Jiang Zhai spoke casually, Han Zhan didn't care at all. He continued to ask: "Do you know who was suffering from Jizhou after Yuan Shao left?"

"It's Lord Toyota, Jizhou!"

After confirming that Jiang Zhai’s news was accurate, Han Zhan ordered Luo Bu to take him down to rest, and then summoned his subordinates to discuss how to seize Jizhou.

After Zhang He and Han Zhan introduced the situation in Jizhou, they immediately stood out from the queue, clasped their fists and said, "Young Master, He is willing to lead his troops to take Jizhou. Please agree!"

Seeing Zhang He taking the initiative to ask for his order, Han Zhan was quite happy. Zhang He's performance was enough to prove that he was quite loyal to him. But after consideration, he shook his head and said, "General Junyi, I plan to lead my troops to capture Jizhou myself, and you will stay here to defend Guangping City."

After Zhang He was rejected by Han Zhan, although he felt a little disappointed, he still answered: "I will obey the order!" and then retreated to the queue.

Han Zhan's eyes swept across everyone one by one, and finally stopped at Huang Zhong who was standing at the end. He shouted: "Huang Junhou!"

Hearing Han Zhan calling his name, Huang Zhong hurriedly stepped out and bowed and replied, "I'm here!"

"I ordered you to lead three thousand cavalry and go out overnight!" Since Zhang He surrendered, Han Zhan has added thousands of cavalry. He decided to let the cavalry play a role in the battle to capture Jizhou. Therefore, he ordered Huang Zhong: "You can use the banner of General Yi and make money to open the city gate."

These three thousand cavalrymen were originally Zhang He's subordinates, and their banners were all ready-made. When Huang Zhong heard the tasks assigned by Han Zhan to him, he felt that he was taking the initiative to send me credit, and quickly replied: "I will receive the order!"

After Huang Zhong's cavalry came out, Han Zhan also led Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, and commanded 10,000 troops to Jizhou overnight. Only Zhang He was left to defend Guangping City.

Dian Wei, who was following Han Zhan, turned his head and looked at the Guangping City Wall that was getting farther and farther away, and asked Han Zhan with some concern: "Mr. Marquis, Zhang Hexin has been surrendering. Is this appropriate? Otherwise, you can ask me to go back to the city so that you can monitor him."

"The Chief Censor Dian is too worried," Han Zhan said to him with a smile: "As the saying goes, don't doubt people, don't doubt people. Since I handed over the city to Zhang He, it proves that I trust him. How can I send someone to monitor him? You follow me to Jizhou, which is more effective than staying in Guangping City."

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Dian Wei couldn't help but ask curiously: "What can I send to Jizhou City?"
