A few days later, information was returned from the detailed work in Xudu. As expected by Yan Liang and Xu Shu, Yuan Tan continued to lead his army south to attack Nanyang, regardless of the fact that the food in Fengcang was burned.
However, this time Yuan Tan also learned his lesson. Before leaving, he urgently mobilized 5,000 troops and horses from Luoyang to strengthen the defenses in places outside Xudu such as Zhaoling to prevent Yan Liang from making a sneak attack from Xinye with his light cavalry.
When Yuan Tan raised his troops to march south, he ordered Xin Ping, who stayed behind in Xudu, to frantically search for food and grass from the homes of the people in various counties to use his 40,000-strong army to continue his southern expedition for military needs.
A few days later, Yuan Tan's army marched towards Ye County again, aiming directly at Duyang.
And long before Yuan Tan marched into Nanyang, Yan Liang had led his army to Duyang City in advance.
Considering that Yuan Tan's grain and grass were burned, in order to supply the military, he would madly plunder the countryside after entering the country to support the war. In order not to leave a grain of grain for Yuan Tan, Yan Liang ordered in advance that all the villages north of Wancheng
All the people in the county moved south to avoid providing food and grass to Yuan Tanzi.
Duyang City is located in the northernmost part of Yan Liang's territory. There are more than 4,000 people in the city. The day after Yan Liang led his army to arrive, he ordered all 4,000 people to be moved south.
Almost overnight, a county town in Nuoda turned into an empty city.
Wenpin and other generals all thought that Yan Liang planned to block Yangcheng and use it as a barrier to the north of Wancheng. However, they did not expect that Yan Liang did not do anything to strengthen the city wall after moving away the people, but instead urged his soldiers day and night.
Rush to build a secret project.
Yan Liang knew very well that the Duyang City Wall was short and old. Even if it was reinforced, it would be difficult to withstand the attack of Yuan Tan's 40,000-strong army.
Moreover, he had no intention of sticking to Duyang at all. All he had to do was to use this empty city to carry out his revenge, and Yuan Tan, who was approaching fiercely, struck him in the head and dampened his spirit again.
At dusk that day, Yuan Tan's 40,000-strong army finally appeared to the north of Duyang. They arrogantly approached the lower village of Duyang City.
Yan Liang stood at the top of the city and looked at the enemy camp not far away, but he saw flags and flags covering the sky, and guns buried in the dense forest. It looked like a mammoth force coming from thousands of troops.
Of course Yan Liang knew that Yuan Tan was definitely not bluffing. He brought less than 5,000 cavalry to Duyang City this time, but Yuan's army outside the city had 40,000 people, ten times the enemy. This was definitely a
Terrible numbers.
"My Lord, there are so many enemy soldiers that it is difficult to engage in a head-on confrontation. Why not let the last general lead his troops to rob the camp tonight, and take advantage of the opportunity that they have come from a long way and are unprepared? Maybe we can dampen their spirit."
Seeing that the enemy was powerful, Wenpin had some scruples, but he was not afraid and calmly offered a plan.
However, Yan Liang shook his head and pointed his riding whip at the enemy camp, "You see, Yuan Jun's camp was set up in an orderly manner. He has mastered the art of setting up a camp, which is far better than the previous attack by Yuan Tan. I guess this guy has learned the lesson from the last time.
, This time Zhang He was re-appointed as general, so that we can have such a strict military strength. According to the situation, the chance of winning is probably not good if we rob the camp."
Yan Liang rejected Wenpin's plan.
Wen Pin suddenly realized something, and admired Yan Liang's sharp vision, but he frowned and said: "There are good generals in Yuan's army, and the strength is ten times that of mine. If he surrounded Duyang City, wouldn't my lord be in deep trouble?"
If you are in danger, I hope my lord will think twice."
Although Wenpin didn't say it explicitly, he was tactfully suggesting that Yan Liang withdraw from Duyang and not take unnecessary risks.
"When did I say that I would stick to Duyang?" Yan Liang asked with a smile.
Wenpin was stunned and suddenly became a little confused. He thought to himself, my lord, if you don't want to stick to Duyang City, if you just want to evacuate the people in the city, the county magistrate can do it with just one order, so why bother to go all the way to personally lead it?
Thousands of soldiers and horses worked hard to come here.
"My lord, I'm sorry for my stupidity, but what my lord means is..." Wenpin raised his hands and asked.
Yan Liang was about to use Wenpin, so he planned to inform him of his intentions. However, at this moment, a horse came galloping from outside the city, claiming to be the envoy sent by Yuan Tan, and came to issue a letter of war to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang then ordered the messenger to be put in.
Not long after, the messenger came up to the city with a high-spirited attitude. When he saw Yan Liang, he showed no courtesy and only handed over a letter of challenge.
When all the generals saw that the incoming envoy was rude, they all looked angry.
However, Yan Liang didn't think it was strange and didn't accept the letter of challenge. He just said: "I would like to see Mr. Yuan's literary talent, so just think of it."
The envoy then unfolded the letter of war and read it loudly in front of the officers and soldiers of Yan Jun at the top of the city.
As the generals listened, they became angry and gnashed their teeth.
It was not a letter of war at all, it was just an attempt to persuade Yan Liang to surrender. With his noble status as the eldest son of the King of Wei and his superior attitude, Yuan Tan enumerated Yan Liang's crimes of betraying the Yuan family, and ordered Yan Liang to open the city and surrender.
Only in this way will Yuan Tanfang consider mitigating Yan Liang's crime. Otherwise, if Yan Liang persists in resisting, his army will raze Duyang to the ground, and those who dare to follow Yan Liang and "aid the evil" will be defeated after the city is broken.
Kill them regardless.
Yuan Tan's letter of persuasion to surrender was so arrogant that it was as easy to crush Yan Liang to death as to crush an ant to death.
Wenpin and other generals on the left and right were all furious, and Wenpin even drew his sword angrily, intending to kill the envoy.
The envoy was startled, and hurriedly restrained his arrogance, shouting: "The two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy!"
What bullshit "two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy", it's not like Yan Liang has never done it before when he fought Ma Chao last time.
Listening to Yuan Tan's arrogant surrender letter, the anger in Yan Liang's heart was burning like a raging fire.
However, he was not consumed by anger and understood, and remained calm despite the anger of the generals.
Yan Liang waved his hand to stop the impulsive generals.
The generals did not dare to take action without Yan Liang's instructions.
Yan Liang looked at the envoy and said calmly: "Young Master Yuan is indeed very impressive. If you go back and tell him that he wants to take my life, Yan Liang, just let him go. There is no need to use such childish tactics to intimidate me. If I, the general
If I were afraid, I would not have broken with his Yuan family back then."
After saying that, Yan Liang waved his hand to signal the messenger to get out of here.
The envoy was afraid that Yan Liang would change his mind and kill him. He fled down to the city and fled Duyang City in a hurry.
Seeing the Yuan Jun envoy leaving, everyone was indignant and suspicious.
They all couldn't understand that with their lord's temperament, he could tolerate Yuan Tan being so insulting. This was simply incredible.
The master humiliated his minister and died. Wenpin was the first to be unable to bear it and said angrily: "My lord, Yuan Tan's child has gone too far to bully others. I will ask you to fight to the death with that child."
After Wenpin said this, the other generals also generously asked for battle.
The generals were angry and their fighting spirit was high. Yan Liang saw this, but he was secretly proud of himself.
This is the effect he wants.
Yuan Tan was short of food. He came to attack this time in order to win a quick victory. What he feared most was that Yan Liang would clear the country and defend the city. The extremely humiliating gauntlet just now was clearly a way to provoke the generals.
Yan Liang had already expected it, and the reason why he asked the envoy to read it to his face was to use Yuan Tan's hand to arouse the indignation of the generals.
Judging from the current situation, Yan Liang's goal has been achieved.
Yan Liangsui said loudly: "Yuan Tan looks down on us like this. How can I swallow my breath? Don't worry, I will repay Yuan Tan twice as much for today's humiliation. However,
Before that, we have one more important thing to do."
Wenpin thought that Yan Liang was about to order an attack, so he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Please let me know, sir."
Yan Liang said two words slowly: "Abandon the city."
Abandon the city?
As soon as they heard this, all the generals who had been hired from left to right were stunned.
"Didn't I say this a long time ago that I would give our Young Master Yuan a big welcome gift? I will naturally keep my word..."
As Yan Liang spoke, a sly smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The generals became more and more confused.
#####
When the plan to provoke the general failed, Yuan Tan became angry. At dawn the next day, Yuan Tan ordered the entire army to have a feast. Tens of thousands of troops armed with ladders, rams and other siege equipment came to Duyang North Gate in a menacing manner.
Although Yuan Tan came with an angry heart for revenge, he also kept calm. He knew very well that Yan Liang's ability should not be underestimated, so although he was determined to win, he was also prepared to fight a brutal siege battle.
Mental preparation.
However, what surprised Yuan Tan was that when his tens of thousands of troops arrived in front of the city, they found that the entire Duyang City was deserted. Not only was there not a single soldier in sight at the front of the city, not even a single soldier was visible.
No flags can be seen.
What makes Yuan Tan even more suspicious is that the city gate of Duyang North Gate has been opened wide, and the suspension bridge has been lowered long ago. All that is left is for the people to line the streets to welcome you, so that you can create a scene of Duyang welcoming you.
"Could it be that Yan Liang was really frightened by my military power and abandoned the city?"
This exciting idea flashed in Yuan Tan's mind.
"My eldest son, Yan Liang may have devised a plan to lure the enemy into an empty city. If we lead our troops into the city hastily, it would be bad if we fall into an ambush."
Zhang He, who was equally suspicious next to him, still remained calm.
Yuan Tan thought it was right, so he did not dare to be careless. On the one hand, he ordered the entire army to prepare for the attack, and on the other hand, he sent a small team of scouts into the city to conduct reconnaissance.
Half an hour later, the reconnaissance results made Yuan Tan feel relieved.
The entire Duyang City is indeed an empty city. Not only is there no trace of Yan Liang's soldiers, but not even all the people are left.
Yuan Tan was still worried and sent out several teams of scouts to expand the scope of reconnaissance from inside the city to outside the city.
In the afternoon, Yuan Tan finally got a result that reassured him.
Twenty miles south of Duyang City, the scouts discovered more than 4,000 Yan troops, who should be Yan Liang's troops who had withdrawn from Duyang.
Yuan Tan was relieved now, and he believed that Yan Liang was really afraid of his powerful army and had to choose to withdraw from Duyang City with low walls.
Yuan Tan then led an army of 10,000 to Duyang City. The rest of the army followed the city and went to the stronghold, and sent various troops and horses to the fields around Duyang to plunder military supplies, food and grass.
Before they knew it, it was already night, and Yuan Tan and his exhausted soldiers had fallen asleep in Duyang City.
Little did they know that in the east of Yangcheng City, deep in the dense forest, five hundred pairs of ghostly eyes were staring fiercely at the city shrouded in night.
They have been lurking here for a whole day.
Unknowingly, it was the third watch of the night. Yan Liang raised his head and glanced at the dark sky, with a ferocious sneer in his blade-like eyes.
"The time has come, let's do it."
