However, the situation that followed made Qian Zhao secretly relieved. After the troops had assembled on the street, they turned around and headed towards the direction of the provincial governor's mansion.

Seeing that Yuan Shao's ambushing at the north gate had withdrew, Qian Zhao and Feng Li began to secretly discuss the matter of welcoming Han Zhan into the city. Qian Zhao asked in a low voice: "How many people are there under your command?"

Feng Li thought about it and then replied: "There are more than twenty people who are absolutely reliable."

Qian Zhao nodded after hearing this and said, "In addition to the more than 30 confidants under my command, it should be more than enough."

"Zi Jing," Feng Li couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard Qian Zhao say this, "What are you going to do?"

"When the next day, you must open the city gate to welcome Han Tinghou into the city." Qian Zhao didn't know whether Yan Liangwen's soldiers were really withdrawn or fake, so he decided to replace all the soldiers guarding the gate with their own people when opening the door, so as not to have unexpected changes. "If your and my confidants guard the city gate, they would not be afraid even if there was any change. We only need to support a stick of incense, and Han Tinghou's soldiers would enter the city."

Besides, in the Jizhou camp outside the city, Han Zhan was chatting with Guo Jia. He asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you said that our army surrounded Yecheng from all sides, which would promptly lead to the encirclement of the attack. Don't Feng Li and the other two have different intentions?"

"That's right," Guo Jia nodded and said, "If our army has not been besieging Yecheng for a long time, Feng Li and the other two might be responsible for contacting us privately, and Yuan Shao noticed it, so they changed their course. When the agreed time came, our troops quietly arrived outside the city. They suddenly regretted that they would not open the city gate, or after opening the city gate, they set up a trap inside, and then we would have the possibility of defeat. Although the loss of thousands of troops would inevitably lead to the vitality of our army, it would lead to a low morale."

While the two were talking, Xun You walked in from outside. After bowing to Han Zhan, he said with a worried look: "Lord, the troops under the army that are now besieged in the Ximen City are all Yuan Shao's old subordinates. If they are instigated, they may be at risk of mutiny."

"Gongda is worried too much." As soon as Xun You finished speaking, Guo Jia retorted: "The soldiers and horses outside the west were all surrendered to the lord under the persuasion of Ju Jianjun. How could they rebel against Yuan Benchu?"

"Even if they won't betray again," Xun You said worriedly: "If Yuan Benchu ​​escapes from the Ximen when we break the city, do you think these old subordinates will stop him?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled, gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and said to Xun You: "In fact, letting Yuan Benchu ​​escape is not a bad thing."

"What, is it a good thing to let Yuan Benchu ​​escape?" Xun You was a little confused about Guo Jia's statement. But not long after, he figured out the joints and was immediately happy, saying repeatedly: "So that's it, so that's it! Fengxiao is indeed a good plan, Xun has been taught."

Han Zhan thought to himself: At that time, Guo Jia strongly advocated that after Ju Su persuaded the soldiers from the surrounding cities, they would let them camp outside the west gate. He was puzzled at the beginning, but after Guo Jia explained, he now made the same truth as Zhuge Liang and asked Mr. Guan to guard Huarong Road. Therefore, he agreed to his arrangement without hesitation.

When Han Zhan and others didn't say anything, they looked up and asked Xun You: "My cousin, I wonder if there is any news in the city?"

Xun You shook his head and said, "The four gates are closed, and the defenders on the city are everywhere. The spies we sent cannot get close to the city at all. Therefore, the subordinates are not sure what the situation is in the city."

"Don't worry." Guo Jia said confidently: "When the future is a terrible day, just send a group of people to the north gate to see if the city gate is open, and you will know whether Feng Li and the other two really defect to us."

Feng Ji, who was in the city, was shocked when he learned that the city was surrounded by Jizhou soldiers. Although he was in front of Yuan Shao, he said that it would be fine if he had been in Yecheng for half a year, but when things came to an end, he was panicked. He went up to the city himself and wandered around with a few personal soldiers, secretly checking if there were any loopholes to be exploited.

When he turned to the west gate, he saw the soldiers on duty outside the camp from afar, exactly the same as the defenders in the city. He frowned and thought: Why are the robes worn by these soldiers the same as those in the city? Where did the Han family get so many robes?

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a personal soldier next to him say, "Hey, look, the soldiers standing guard outside the gate are not the big bulls from the neighboring village?"

Another personal soldier looked in that direction for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, it's a big bull. Isn't he a dirty city? How could he appear outside the city?"

"Is this a matter of saying?" The personal soldier who was speaking at the beginning whispered: "It must be that the guards of the Wucheng who defected to the Jizhou army, so they appeared here."

When Feng Ji heard this, he grabbed the arm of the personal soldier and asked, "What you said just now is true?"

The personal soldiers replied in a panic: "The young man dared not deceive the chief minister. One of the soldiers outside the gate was a young fellow villager. He was originally stationed in a dirty city, but he never thought he would see him here."

The words of the personal soldiers opened up a way for Feng Ji. He did not wander around the city wall anymore, but took his personal soldiers down the city wall and walked along the street towards the provincial governor's mansion.

He walked into the conference hall and saw Yuan Shao sitting there alone, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen the lord!"

"It's Yuantu." Yuan Shao heard someone talking, and looked up. It turned out to be Feng Ji. He reached out and pointed to the side and said weakly: "Sit down and talk."

After Feng Ji sat down, he asked Yuan Shao knowingly, "I seem to have something to do with you, but I don't know if I can tell you a little bit about it, so I can share your worries with you?"

"Yecheng is surrounded on all sides," Yuan Shao said with a sad face: "The surrounding cities must have been seized by the soldiers of Jizhou, and now Yecheng has become an isolated city."

Feng Ji quickly comforted him and said, "Lord, don't worry. If Yecheng cannot be defended, we can abandon the city and leave."

"There are soldiers and horses in Jizhou on all sides, where are we going?" Yuan Shao said angrily.

"My subordinates just went to patrol the city." In order to leave a good impression on Yuan Shao, Feng Ji described his investigation of the escape route as patroling the city and inspecting the terrain: "The garrison outside the west gate is the old subordinate of the lord."

When Yuan Shao heard Feng Ji say this, he widened his eyes in surprise: "What, this general's old subordinate?"

"That's right, it's your old subordinate." Feng Ji saw Yuan Shao's confusion expression and quickly explained to him: "They are all guardians of other cities in Wei County. They probably were bewitched by the children of the Han family and turned against each other."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he slapped the table suddenly, stood up and said angrily: "What are Yuan Tu's doing to these people who are in charge of the Lord?"

"Lord, please calm down." Feng Ji quickly stood up and bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "These people surrendered to Jizhou. Maybe they have the last resort. Please don't blame them. My subordinates have an idea. They want to meet these guards overnight to see if they can convince them anyway, so that our Yecheng can add tens of thousands of new forces."

"Perspect them anyway?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard Feng Ji say this, but the expression in his eyes quickly dimmed: "No, what if they refuse to take you hostage anyway?"

"Lord, this is what my subordinates think." Feng Ji leaned close to Yuan Shao's ear and whispered: "Even if they refuse to do so, my subordinates will find a way to convince them. Once Yecheng cannot be defended, give us a passage."

Yuan Shao was originally depressed because Yecheng turned into an isolated city. At this moment, when he heard Feng Ji say that he could find a way to escape, he felt hope in his heart. He hurriedly urged Feng Ji: "Yuantu, since that's the case, then hurry up and clean up, and then go out of the city immediately."

"My lord, don't be anxious." Feng Ji saw Yuan Shao urging him to leave the city immediately, and quickly said to him: "It is easy to be noticed when leaving the city at this time. It is better to wait until it gets dark and then sneak into the camp and convince the generals."

"Even if they won't betray again," Xun You said worriedly: "If Yuan Benchu ​​escapes from the Ximen when we break the city, do you think these old subordinates will stop him?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled, gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and said to Xun You: "In fact, letting Yuan Benchu ​​escape is not a bad thing."
