Bei Yan and Yang Zuo, on the orders of Gongsun Yuan, led the Liaodong soldiers and horses to pursue the Wei army.
But because of Yang Ling's cunningness, they didn't dare to follow him too closely.
As a result, within a short time, they could not even see the shadow of Wei Jun.
This made the two of them a little anxious, and they quickly ordered their soldiers to speed up the pursuit!
However, at this moment, Yang Zuo suddenly noticed that a small black spot appeared out of thin air on the plain ahead.
When he got closer, he was shocked!
Because that little black dot... turned out to be a city!
"What's going on? What's going on with this guy?"
Yang Zuo almost stared out of his eyes.
Since the Wuhuan people withdrew from the Liaodong vassal state, the area within a hundred miles of Fang County has been deserted. How could a city suddenly appear?
"wrong!"
Bei Yan frowned and realized that things were not simple.
Because the city in front of you is not that tall.
The city wall was gray and only two people high, completely different from the common cities in the world.
The two looked at each other, and Yang Zuo hesitated and said,
"Is it possible that Wei Jun... escaped into this city?"
There is no sign of Wei Jun at the moment, so it is very likely that he has entered the city.
"It's not impossible, but the question is, how did this city appear?"
Beiyan couldn't figure it out.
Not long ago, they sent spies to inquire about the situation nearby. There was no such a city at that time!
"Send someone over first to take a look!"
Yang Zuo waved over a few soldiers and asked them to move toward the city.
However, when these soldiers just approached, they saw countless Wei troops suddenly appearing on the top of the city.
In an instant, arrows rained down like rain, and those people were shot into sieves.
Seeing this situation, Bei Yan and Yang Zuo took a deep breath.
The two of them did not dare to neglect, and after ordering the soldiers to keep an eye on the city and not to act rashly, they hurried towards the rear.
Gongsun Yuan in the rear was walking along the road with Wei Gong and others.
Suddenly seeing the two people coming back, he was shocked.
"Why are you two back? Could it be that you suffered a defeat?"
"Don't panic, Your Highness King Yan, I have not been defeated!"
Bei Yan quickly defended.
Gongsun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and asked,
"Then why are you two coming back?"
"Suddenly there is a city in front of us, and Wei Jun is hiding in the city!"
"The two ministers didn't know what to do, so they came back to ask King Yan for instructions!"
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Yuan's face darkened.
"Are you two just having trouble? How could there be a city ahead?"
As a prince, Gongsun Yuan knew the situation in his territory very well.
He simply didn't believe that there would be a city ahead!
"If His Highness Prince Yan doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself!"
Yang Zuo smiled bitterly.
Seeing that they didn't seem to be deceiving him, Gongsun Yuan snorted coldly,
"Forget it, just go and have a look!"
"If you dare to deceive, don't blame me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he urged his mount and led the army forward.
When the Liaodong Army arrived at the place Beiyan told Yang Zuo, Gongsun Yuan was stunned when he saw the city.
How could the Liaodong vassal state suddenly have an extra city?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!
"Call the captain in charge of the scout camp!"
Gongsun Yuan came back to his senses and said in a deep voice.
Not long after, the scout captain was brought to Gongsun Yuan.
"Let me ask you, when was the last time you explored this area?"
"Reporting to His Highness King Yan, it was about three days ago!"
"Very good! Then tell me why you didn't find this city?"
"My subordinates don't know this! But three days ago, the last general led the team and personally inspected this place. There was really no city here at that time!"
The scout captain said with a grimace.
"You mean, the Wei army built this city in three days?"
Gongsun Yuan smiled instead of being angry and said sternly,
"Come here, drag him down and chop him down!"
"Here!"
The guards on the left and right swarmed up, no matter how much the scout captain begged for mercy, they ignored him and dragged him down and beheaded him.
"This is the consequence of dereliction of duty!"
Gongsun Yuan said coldly.
Although the others couldn't bear it, they didn't beg for mercy for that person.
In their opinion, it was impossible for the Wei army to build the city within three days, and that man must have neglected his duty.
"But next, we have to think of a way, Your Highness."
Beiyan whispered.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yuan suddenly had a headache.
It was originally a field battle between the two armies, but it ended up being that the Wei army defended the city and the Liaodong army attacked the city.
This time they became passive.
"Why should His Highness, Prince Yan, be troubled?"
The counselor Sun Zong on the side suddenly laughed and asked,
"May I ask His Highness King Yan, is it the Wei army that attacks us, or we that attack the Wei army?"
"Of course the Wei army is attacking us!"
"If that's the case, then why should we be anxious?"
Gongsun Yuan was stunned.
yes.
But Cao Wei sent troops to attack him.
Now that they are avoiding fighting, they can't get what they want, so what's there to worry about?
"There is absolutely no need for us to attack the city, so let the Wei army be stationed there."
Sun Zong sneered and said,
"It's thousands of miles away from Luoyang."
"Even if the Wei Dynasty becomes powerful, how long can it last?"
As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass go first.
In today's wars, the importance of food and grass is self-evident.
If it were transported to the front line, enough food and fodder for 100,000 people would not even be left at half when it reached its destination.
The reason is simple. At least tens of thousands of civilians must be recruited to escort the grain and grass.
Not to mention the feed needed for the war horses.
Cao Wei has been fighting for so many years and has never had to worry about food and grass. It must be said that Yang Ling's contribution is very great.
"What the military advisor said is true!"
Gongsun Yuan nodded, laughed and said,
"Let's not fight with the Wei army. He wants to be stationed in the city, so just do it! Let's see if he can afford it or not!"
He immediately ordered the Liaodong Army to station itself not far from the Wei Army's city.
…
Seeing the Liaodong Army slowly retreating, Jiang Wei jumped down from the top of the city and came to the camp in the city.
"I've met the teacher!"
"Boyo, how is the situation?"
"The Liaodong Army did not intend to attack the city, but chose to set up camp not far away."
"knew."
Yang Ling chuckled and said,
"Let's stay in this city and let's see what Gongsun Yuan does to us!"
"The general was able to build such a strong city in three days. We are really amazed!"
Yan Rou couldn't help but sigh.
As early as when he set out, Yang Ling had considered the long journey to Liaodong County.
Especially in the Liaodong vassal state, it is even more uninhabited.
So before setting off, he ordered people to make a large amount of cement.
After arriving here, he ordered the soldiers to start building the city.
In just three days, a new city was built.
After witnessing such a shocking scene with their own eyes, Wei Jun called Yang Ling a bully.
