Wang Yan cut off Guo Yuanyi's head and sacrificed the flag to war, and a thousand elites went straight to Kaiyang County. These thousand elites included the hundred elites brought by Wang Yan from Nancheng County, as well as the eighteen followers around Wang Yan.

This time, Yang Yafei was left in the county government and did not follow her.

After nightfall, the army camped.

In the central army's tent, Wang Yan and Huang Zhong sat opposite each other and analyzed the situation of the battle.

Guan Hai's command had more than 10,000 Yellow Turban thieves. Although there were only more than 3,000 people who had strong combat power, their military strength was still better than Wang Yan. It would be very difficult to defeat the Yellow Turban thieves in one battle.

Therefore, we must find a suitable method.

Wang Yan looked serious and said, "This is how I considered this battle. First, we contacted the officers and soldiers in Kaiyang County to understand the situation, and agreed on the time for the attack, and then launched an attack, and attacked Guan Hai at the same time. If we only rely on the 1,000 soldiers under our command, we may not be able to catch it."

Huang Zhong said: "The lord's words are reasonable, but he is just sent to Kaiyang County. Who should he choose?"

Wang Yan said: "I'll take a trip myself."

Huang Zhong was stunned. Wang Yan went there himself, and there was a great risk.

Wang Yan explained: "In the military camp, except you, no one else can take on this task. The army needs you to take charge of the command, so I can only go there in person."

Huang Zhong sighed softly and said, "The lord is going to go and take Shiba with him."

Wang Yan nodded slightly, he must have led the soldiers.

"Report!"

Outside the camp, the soldiers' reports came.

"Come in!" Wang Yan ordered.

The curtains of the camp tent were rolled up, and the soldiers walked in and reported respectfully: "Sir, there is a man who calls himself Huang Zhaoer outside the camp asking for a visit, saying that he wants to join the adults."

"Please!" Wang Yan ordered.

The soldiers went to convey the order, and soon a burly man walked in.

When he saw Wang Yan sitting in the main seat, the man bowed and said, "Huang Zhaoer, I will pay homage to the magistrate of Wang County."

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

Huang Zhaoer bowed and thanked him, and sat down as he said.

Wang Yan asked, "Where is the hero?"

Huang Zhaoer replied, "Caomin is from Kaiyang County." After a pause, Huang Zhaoer took the initiative to say, "Guan Hai surrounded Kaiyang County, and his mother was also trapped in the city by the Yellow Turban thieves, and her life was worrying. Today, Caomin learned that the county magistrate Wang led his troops to rescue him, so he came to join him."

Wang Yan said: "I am very grateful to Mr. Huang who is familiar with Kaiyang County. With people like Mr. Huang who are familiar with Kaiyang County, the chance of defeating Guan Hai is much greater."

Huang Zhao heard the ears: "This time I come, the grass people will report to the county magistrate."

"What's the matter?" Wang Yan said.

Huang Zhaoer replied: "The grass people discovered a fatal flaw of the Yellow Turban Thieves."

A glimmer flashed in Wang Yan's eyes and asked, "What are the shortcomings?"

Huang Zhaoer clenched his fist and said, "Ten miles north of Kaiyang County, there is a mountain depression. Its terrain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Guan Hai led his army to surround Kaiyang County, and all the grains he carried were stored inside. As long as the county magistrate led his army to attack it, a fire destroyed all the food, and the Yellow Turban thieves would collapse without attacking. Without the food, the people would be disintegrated and there would be no threat."

"What a plan!" Wang Yan stroked his palm, and his face showed a look of ecstasy.

He couldn't help but say, "I'm worried that there is no way to destroy the Yellow Turban thieves, especially when the troops are disparity, it's even harder to win. Now Huang Zhuangshi has brought news and solved all my problems."

Huang Zhong's eyes were sharp and he interrupted, "Lord, I have something to ask Huang Zhuangshi."

Wang Yan nodded and waved his hand to signal Huang Zhong to ask questions.

Huang Zhong stared at Huang Zhaoer with a questioning look on his face and asked, "You are from Kaiyang County, can you prove it?"

"No!" Huang Zhaoer shook his head and said, "I escaped the siege of the Yellow Turban thieves because I went out to visit friends. But when I came back, Guan Hai surrounded the city. I couldn't enter the city and could not prove it."

Huang Zhong asked again: "When did you find the place where you store food?"

"I got the news just when Guan Hai sieges the city." Huang Zhaoer said confidently: "The news I got is absolutely genuine. Unfortunately, I learned the news, but I never had the chance to enter the city. Kaiyang County also blindly defended. I couldn't tell Kaiyang County the news, so I could only find the magistrate of Wang County."

Huang Zhong pondered for a long time and said, "Sir, I think it's not appropriate."

"Why?" Wang Yan asked dissatisfiedly.

It seems that Huang Zhong’s arbitrary judgment was unreasonable.

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Huang Zhaoer always said that he was from Kaiyang County, but who doesn't know? His origin is unknown. What if he is a Yellow Turban Thief pretending to be?"

Huang Zhaoer retorted: "Mr. Wang County Magistrate, facts are better than words. Whether it is true or false, you only need to send someone to the granary in the north of Kaiyang County to find out the news. If it is true, it will not be too late to act according to the plan."

王炎一脸赞同的神色,说道:“我赞同黄壮士的话,打探一番,便可以知道粮仓的真假.如果是真的,我们就立即行动.如果是假的,再论其他不迟.”

Huang Zhong opened his mouth to persuade him, but Wang Yan looked firm and sighed: "I will follow the arrangements of the lord."

Wang Yan looked at Huang Zhaoer and said, "Huangshen Huang, Huang Zhong doubts the authenticity of your news, so you should take him to inquire. What do you think?"

"Can!"

Huang Zhaoer patted his chest and responded, he was not worried about it at all.

Wang Yan said again: "We are still half a day away from Kaiyang County. Mr. Huang went down to rest and rushed with the army tomorrow morning. After the army approached Kaiyang County, we went to inquire."

Huang Zhao's ears canal: "The people of the grass follow the order!"

Wang Yan called out soldiers and took Huang Zhaoer to rest.

Huang Zhong said at this time: "Lord, Bei Zhi still thinks this matter is strange. It's not too late, but at this time, Huang Zhaoer came to report the news. There must be a problem with this. Even if you go to inquire about the news, you may see it just a superficial look."

Wang Yan asked: "Why are you so sure?"

Huang Zhong said solemnly: "In the first place, the two counties of Linyi arrived in Kaiyang County. Since Huang Zhaoer knew the news, at that time, Huang Zhaoer could inform the county magistrates of the two counties. In this way, Guan Hai will undoubtedly be defeated. What is strange is that Linyi, the county magistrates of the two counties, led their troops to fight, and they were both defeated."

After a pause, Huang Zhong said again: "The lord may say that Huang Zhaoer has no chance to approach the magistrate of the two counties, and I think there must be some. Therefore, Bei Zhi boldly made assumptions. Bei Zhi believes that Huang Zhaoer had used this news before to lure the troops of Jiqiu and Linyi to the location where the grain storage was stored, and then ambush them. Now, he still wants to use the same trick again to lure the lord."

Wang Yan had a confident smile on his face and said, "When Huang Zhaoer mentioned the location, he said that he was surrounded by mountains on three sides, which means that after the soldiers entered, they would become turtles in a jar. In this case, if we did not know how to enter, we would be ambushed. But after we were prepared, we could use the tricks, and instead lead Guan Hai out and defeat him in one fell swoop."

Wang Yan said again: "If the news is true, we can take this opportunity to destroy Guan Hai's granary in one fell swoop. If the news is false, we can also use the trick. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it is an excellent taboo for us."

After hearing Wang Yan's analysis, Huang Zhong suddenly said, "Have you learned about Huang Zhaoer's conspiracy?"

Wang Yan chuckled twice and said, "Huang Zhaoer's origin is unknown, how could I believe his words at will? I just want to make him feel at ease."

"The lord is wise!"

Huang Zhong looked admiring, and his eyes were even more expectant.
