Regarding what his deputy general said, Lu Zhi himself knew that there was no other more suitable way besides this method.
And the most important thing is whether Huangpu Song and Liu Yan in Youzhou City can support the arrival of other reinforcements, and they must be elite reinforcements.
Lu Zhi: "Send the order, the army is hiding nearby. No fire is allowed, everything must be done carefully, and all the scouts should be dispersed."
"Monitoring takes turns throughout the day, focusing on monitoring the movements of the Yellow Turban Army. Everyone must be ready for battle at any time."
"Also, select three hundred veterans. Elites like commanders or centurions will be mixed into the Yellow Turban Army in batches."
"Lieutenant General, tonight you will lead five masters to deliver a message to the people in the city. Remember not to expose yourself."
"After success, you can just stay in the city. We will inform you when reinforcements arrive. This is the only way to break the situation at the moment."
After Lu Zhi's order was finished, the people below began to execute it in an orderly manner. The army led by Lu Zhi was still the most elite army of the Han Dynasty, and its execution ability was stronger than other armies.
Therefore, Lu Zhi's order was quickly conveyed to all the soldiers.
Moreover, their location here is at least thirty miles away from the Yellow Turban Army. As long as their movements are not too big, there is no possibility of being exposed.
Moreover, the scouts he asked the deputy general to send out were not just for free. As soon as the Yellow Turban Army made any move, they would be able to detect it immediately.
This also gave me the opportunity to retreat, and if I couldn't save Youzhou City, I had to give up. At least these people like him can't be completely folded here. This is the most critical thing.
Soon, night came. His lieutenant had already arrived in front of Lu Zhi with five good men. Now they were all dressed in black night clothes. Under the hazy moonlight tonight, there was a great chance to bypass the Yellow Turban Army and enter the city.
Lu Zhi: "In order to prevent the other party from suspecting whether you have rebelled, you take this jade pendant and give it to General Huangpu Song."
"This way he will trust you and our plan can be executed smoothly."
"If we don't wait for reinforcements to arrive within a week, then Youzhou City can give up and you can just retreat."
"I can't possibly let our soldiers die in vain. We will have no choice but to abandon Youzhou City at that time."
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, he sighed and closed his eyes. Force yourself not to think about those things. After all, thinking too much will only increase your worries.
Lieutenant General: "My subordinates are resigning. I will convey your Lord's words in full."
After the deputy general finished speaking, he left the camp.
As for the current situation, every additional day is a day of torture for Huangpu Song and Liu Yan.
The clouds in the sky just blocked the moonlight tonight, and the sounds of crickets and frogs chirping could be heard one after another, and occasionally there was the sound of a rabbit running out of the bushes.
At this time, the deputy general had already led a few people to the foot of Youzhou City under the cover of night, but no one from the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side noticed their whereabouts.
Even the people on guard on the city wall didn't notice it, but there were still people patrolling on the city wall.
The deputy general took out a stack of cloth strips from his body, and then whispered: "Bring the bow and arrows."
A man immediately handed the bow and arrow he carried to the deputy general, and then pulled up a black cloth to cover the side.
The lieutenant wrapped the cloth strip around the bow and arrow, broke the arrow feathers and arrowheads, and then bent the bow and shot it.
It happened to fall in front of a group of patrolling soldiers, "Enemy!". Just as a soldier was about to shout out the words "enemy attack", he was kicked by his leader and whispered: "Are you stupid? Who gave you the signal when the enemy attacked?"
Then he ignored the soldier and picked up the things on the ground. He found that the broken arrow was wrapped with a piece of cloth, and there were words on the cloth.
Sure enough, he immediately ran to the place where the arrow had just flown and saw the deputy general and his men, but these people were all wearing black night clothes and their faces were covered.
He immediately guessed that this was his friendly army, but he was not sure yet. But he could only order his men to pull them up first.
"Quick, use the rope to pull them up. Then tie them up and wait for the general and prefect to come over before making a decision."
Then he went to find the general who was guarding the city tonight, and when he handed the cloth strips and bow and arrows to the general. After seeing it, the general guarding the city immediately held his hands nervously and asked: "Where are they? Take me to see them quickly."
Afterwards, the soldier took the guard to the previous location. I saw six people tied up somewhere, including the deputy general and his subordinates.
The guard came to them, asked the soldiers to remove the things from their mouths, and asked: "Two questions. First, is what is written above true?"
"Second, are you really General Lu Zhi's subordinates?"
Lieutenant General: "I have a token, the general said. As long as General Huangpu Song sees it, he will know whether I am real or fake."
After the guard heard what they said, he immediately shouted to the soldiers to stop their mouths again. Then he said: "If it is true or false, I will tell General Huangpu Song to come and take a look."
Afterwards, the guard general took the cloth and went to find General Huangpu Song.
However, General Huangpu Song has already fallen asleep.
Naturally, the guard general didn't care so much, and immediately knocked on the door and said: "General, there is an urgent military situation."
"General, urgent military situation."
"Peng, Peng, Peng."
"Bang bang bang."
Huangpu Song immediately got up from the bed after hearing the emergency military situation, without even having time to put on his coat.
After opening the door, he saw the general who was responsible for defending the city tonight and said, "What's the matter? Have the Yellow Turban rebels attacked the city?"
Guard: "General, look!"
He handed the strip of cloth in his hand to Huangpu Song. After reading it, Huangpu Song quickly entered the room and put on his armor and said, "Take me quickly to see that person and who discovered this."
"No matter who it is, it will be upgraded to three levels in a row. The same goes for salary and the team's location will be upgraded to one level."
Guard: "No!"
"Those people have been controlled by me, and they are now on the city wall."
"It's just that I tied them up for safety, so..."
Although he didn't finish speaking, Huangpu Song already knew what he was going to say. Then he said: "Behave in extraordinary circumstances in extraordinary times, and the other party will definitely understand."
"The main thing now is to meet this person and lead the way!"
After Huangpu Song finished speaking, the guard led the way to the city wall.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing away the dark clouds that obscured the moon. The moonlight began to become brighter, and the insects began to chirp happily.
Lu Zhi couldn't sleep at all at the moment. He was waiting for the information the scouts brought him. If not, he will definitely have trouble sleeping tonight.
But soon, a scout came to him and said: "Report to the general, the vanguard general has successfully entered Youzhou City with a few soldiers."
"All this was witnessed by my subordinates. There is nothing strange about the Yellow Turban Army."
"Everything is as usual, and because the Yellow Turban Army slept relatively hard. A dozen of our people also sneaked in, but this is the limit."
However, Lu Zhi didn't know how happy he was to hear the news. Because as long as their lieutenants successfully enter Youzhou City, it will prove that their plan is feasible.
And it is very feasible, after all, it has been successfully connected inside. Although it was only the first step of the plan, it also proved the feasibility of the plan.
Lu Zhi's heart that had been hanging all night was finally relieved. Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and his mental state was obviously much better. He said, "I understand, General. You go down and have a good rest."
"Tell the brothers to work harder these days."
"When the time comes, I will give you some additional reward money for you brothers."
After Lu Zhi finished speaking, the soldier also said "thank you" and retreated directly. Because they also knew that they might not survive until that day at all. They, the scouts, knew the cruelty of war better than anyone else.
Because every time they go out, they bear the lives of their companions, and they can't be careless at all.
In Youzhou City, Huangpu Song followed the guard to the deputy general and said: "Quickly untie the rope, I am the deputy general of General Lu Zhi."
"You people are blind, what should you do if you get angry?
After untying the rope, the deputy general immediately said: "My subordinates have met General Huangpu Song. Has the general read the letter on the cloth?"
For the deputy general, this is what he is most worried about. And this is about the life and death of this war.
Huangpu Song: "I have read everything written above, but I don't know if reinforcements from other counties will arrive."
Regarding this, Huangpu Song himself could only hope that reinforcements would arrive before they could no longer hold on. After all, with every passing day, those of them in the city would be more in danger.
And now the food in the city can't last long. If reinforcements don't arrive, then they won't be able to last long either.
Huangpu Song: "Although I know you are talking about General Lu Zhi's deputy general, I still think it is best for you to hand over the jade pendant to me."
"I don't know, is the jade pendant where you are?"
And Huangpu Song was also determined to pay attention. As long as the other party took out the token jade pendant, he would be able to completely trust the other party.
This is also the tacit understanding he and Lu Zhi have had for many years. It is such a tacit understanding. It allowed them to escape countless life and death dilemmas, so Huangpu Song still chose to let this deputy general take out the jade pendant given by Lu Zhi.
When the deputy general saw the jade pendant being taken out, Huangpu Song also took out his own jade pendant. Then after putting the two jade pendants together, they closed together without any gaps.
