Suddenly the battalion commander came back and said to everyone: "I saw that the Prime Minister has been walking around the city for several days recently to see if he is making any preparations to attack the city."
One of the soldiers said: "We are almost suffocated, and we don't know when we can attack."
Yu Yi asked: "Is there a loophole in Nanyang's city defense? The Prime Minister has found it."
When the camp heard this question, they thought about how someone knew the news we had just received so quickly. They were suspicious and wanted to find the person who asked the question among the soldiers.
Yu Yi knew he couldn't hide, so he wasn't afraid and stood up immediately.
The battalion commander asked: "Why haven't I seen you before?"
Yuyi quickly explained, "I'm just a new recruit."
The battalion commander nodded, thinking that he had indeed lost a lot of soldiers and horses due to the forced attack on Shouchun recently, and he also recruited some more people. However, Yu Yi's performance was not like ordinary soldiers, so he reminded: "Don't worry about military aircraft." Feel free to discuss it, otherwise it will easily lead to death!"
Yuyi nodded quickly and returned to the team.
With this news, he went to that location that night. It turned out to be a very deep city wall, which had been filled up by Cao Cao with soil and other debris. Yu Yi took a look and found that the place was indeed very close, and it was vaguely... You can see the torches on the city wall.
Yu Yi didn't know where the idea came from, so he unexpectedly tied a piece of paper to the back of the flying knife, and then shot it towards the city wall with all his strength.
After all, Yu Yi's strength was limited, and the flying knife fell down as soon as it reached the city wall. However, the movement was enough to attract the attention of the soldiers. They picked up the flying knife and saw that there was information behind it, so they quickly reported it to Zhang Xiu.
The piece of paper was very small, with only a brief word "response" on it, but Jia Xu knew what was going on as soon as he saw it. He went to the city wall in person, put down a rope near the direction of the flying knife, and then ordered the guards on the wall, He said: "Soon a man wearing Cao Jun's uniform will climb up. Don't be rude, just bring him to see me!"
Yu Yi expected that the time was almost up and the paper should have been delivered to the place, so he walked in that direction. When he saw the rope falling from the city wall, he climbed up in one breath. The soldiers held him up and took him to see Jia Jia. brag.
Looking at the man in front of him, Jia Xu was a little moved. His face was covered with mud and there were some wounds on his body. If it weren't for himself, he would definitely not come to Nanyang.
Jia Xu arranged for someone to prepare a bath bucket and clothes. Then he stopped Yu Yi who was about to speak and said, "You'd better take a bath first. We'll talk about the rest slowly."
Yu Yi was not in the mood to take a shower, so he came out quickly. When he saw Jia Xu, he bowed and said, "Master, now that Cao Cao's army is besieging Nanyang, Nanyang has little chance of winning. Why don't you escape? Put yourself in danger."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Yu Yi, you are worrying too much. I know Cao Cao, so there will be no problem. As the saying goes, a strong man has a strong hand. Don't you think this is interesting?"
Yu Yi smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "It turns out that the master knows it very well, but he likes this kind of challenging life. He likes to compete with others in a battle of wits and courage. There is really no way for him to escape."
So Yu Yi changed his mind and asked: "I heard among Cao Cao's army that Cao Cao circled the city three times and filled in weeds everywhere. This is probably to find weak points to attack the city."
Jia Xu was afraid and patted Yu Yi on the shoulder and said: "You are only half right, Cao Cao's tricks can't deceive me!" After saying that, he quickly sent someone to find Zhang Xiu, who happened to be about this matter. Discuss it.
When Zhang Xiu saw Yu Yi, he thought he was an enemy and quickly drew his weapon. Only after Jia Xu's persuasion did he stop.
Jia Xu said to Zhang Xiu: "Recently I saw Cao Cao on the city wall observing the city for three days. He saw that the color of the bricks and earth in the southeast direction was different from old to new, and some facilities were destroyed. He thought that this place would be the most beautiful place in our city. The weak area was prepared to attack from here, but he deliberately sent people to fill in the weeds in the northwest to create a momentum for attacking from that place, tricking us into withdrawing troops and guarding the northwest, so that he could take advantage of the night and attack from the southeast corner. The direction goes in here.”
Yu Yi didn't know about this situation, but when Jia Xu said it, he thought it was very exciting, so he clapped his hands and said, "Cao Cao is indeed very cunning, and this attack from the east to the west is really powerful."
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this and asked, "What should we do?"
Yu Yi looked at Zhang Xiu's expression on the side. He was really panicked. Jia Xu also enjoyed this feeling very much. Finally, Yu Yi understood why Jia Xu always looked for such people as his assistants. First of all, this person It must be a little-known ordinary person, and the other one is very important, so you must listen to him very much. At that time, Li Ji didn't listen to him, and he failed quickly. This is the reason why he was defeated by making suggestions for ordinary people. Some clever people, I think any counselor will have a sense of accomplishment, and Jia Xu is like this, purely to challenge the difficulty.
Jia Xu looked at Zhang Xiu and said with a smile: "This matter is actually very simple. In a few days, Cao Cao will take action. He can feed the strong troops in the city, go into battle in light clothing, and then hide them in the southeast houses, and then let the strong troops in the city go into battle." The people on the border pretended to be sergeants and guarded in the northwest direction, waiting for Cao Cao to lead his troops and horses to climb the city from here at night. When he has climbed halfway, our ambush will be out, and Cao Cao may be able to capture him alive."
The biggest feeling of being with Jia Xu is that everything is under control, being able to see intentions from any clue, and to prepare for rainy days. Yu Yi likes this feeling very much. These practical strategic experiences are quite valuable, and they are short-lived. In a few sentences, Jia Xu had already used two strategies, and Yu Yi was also filled with admiration.
When he entered Nanyang, Yu Yi was still worried about his master Jia Xu. Now, Yu Yi began to worry about Cao Cao. It seemed that everything was under Jia Xu's control.
Outside the city, someone came to report that Zhang Xiu had withdrawn all his troops and placed them in the northwest corner. At the same time, he shouted loudly to defend the city. The southeast direction was very empty.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Sure enough, you have fallen into my trap!" So he ordered his lieutenants to quietly take out some equipment for climbing the city. During the day, he only sent troops to pretend to attack the northwest corner. Around the second watch, he led his elite troops to the southeast. He sneaked in and cut off the antlers. This route was also Yu Yi's secret route into Nanyang.
After entering the city, they found that it was indeed deserted and there was no movement at all. Everyone poured in together. Before they were halfway there, they suddenly heard the sound of a cannon and many soldiers were shot out from the houses.
Cao Bing was dumbfounded and retreated quickly. Behind him, Zhang Xiu personally led his soldiers and horses to kill him. Attacked from both sides, Cao Cao's troops were defeated and fled back for dozens of miles.
