    Before entering the boundary of Yuzhou, Yan Xiang made a suggestion and said:

    "My lord, the Yangzhou Army is our trump card. In order to catch us by surprise, we should conceal the news."

    Yuan Shu was shocked. He had not considered this issue before and thought that with the help of Yangzhou's momentum, he would definitely succeed.

    However, Yan Xiang's words are not unreasonable. Although the Yangzhou army is powerful, it is a pity that it only sent 20,000 people.

    In terms of quantity, the Yangzhou Army is still too small. It is better to hide directly and give the enemy a thunderous blow.

    "I didn't think carefully about this matter, so I will do as you say." Yuan Shu said.

    For Yuzhou, Yuan Shu is determined to win, so he will humbly accept correct suggestions.

    However, Dian Wei was a little unhappy. He came out to fight, how could he hide his head and show his tail?

    "No!"

    At the critical moment, Gao Shun took action and said: "We can not fly the flag of Yangzhou, but the flag of Yuan Shujun."

    "Will brother blame me?" Dian Wei was surprised and doubtful.

    "No, my lord is very reasonable, and this time, we are mercenaries, flags and stuff don't matter." Gao Shun said.

    The two parties reached a tacit understanding.

    In this way, "Yuan Shu's Army" entered Yuzhou with overwhelming force and captured dozens of counties in one go.

    Zhang Xiu got the news three days later.  He was extremely anxious and immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.

    Lei Xu and Zhang Xian arrived together.

    "Now Yuan Shu is coming fiercely. He does not dare to offend Cao Cao, but can only come to snatch my territory. Therefore, our army must have a battle with Yuan Shu." Zhang Xiu said.

    "Lord, we might as well strike first and drive Yuan Shu's army out of Yuzhou while he is firmly established." Lei Xu said.

    "Yes, lord, we can't let Yuan Shu think that we are easy to bully." Zhang Xiandao.

    "But Yuan Shu claims to have an army of 200,000, and he has marched down several cities, and his troops are at their peak." Zhang Xiu hesitated.

    "My lord, don't be deceived by Yuan Shu." Lei Xu took out the ranking list of Yangzhou princes and said, "Yuan Shu only had 80,000 troops, where did he get 200,000? If he really had 200,000 troops, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.  Will be ravaged by Cao Cao."

    "Okay!" Zhang Xiu was overjoyed and was almost fooled by Yuan Shu's bluff.

    Lei Xu and Zhang Xian left the city with 30,000 troops. The two armies met thirty miles away from Wancheng.

    Zhang Xian cursed loudly: "Yuan Shu, you are a despicable person, you are hypocritical. We have no grievances and no enmity, why do you attack us? What is the difference between a greedy person like you and a beast?"

    Yuan Shu was furious and was about to send his general Ji Ling to fight, but Dian Wei stepped in first.

    "Let's meet you!" Dian Wei rode out and slashed Zhang Xian with his broadsword.

    "Well done!" Zhang Xian was happy instead of angry, and was killed in three rounds.

    Lei Xu was shocked and the troops were in chaos.

    "Lord, the time has come, attack!" Yan Xiang urged.

    "Commanders, follow me into battle to kill the enemy!" Yuan Shu shouted.

    Yuan Shu's army already had a large number of troops, but now its morale was strong. Lei Xu soon lost the enemy and led his army to escape.

    "Chase!" Yuan Shu ran around excitedly, and the guards complained endlessly. Fortunately, Lei Xu was unable to fight back.

    Yuan Shu's army pursued them all the way to Wancheng. Lei Xu had already entered the city. The city gate was now closed and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it.

    However, Wancheng was heavily defended, the trenches were very wide, and the water was deep, so the situation became stalemate.

    Yuan Shu ordered the troops to retreat and set up camp ten miles away from Wancheng, asking the soldiers to make fires for cooking.

    "My lord, this place is too close to Wancheng." Yan Xiang reminded.

    "It's better to be close, otherwise every time you attack, your legs will be broken and the soldiers will suffer." Yuan Shu said, fully acting as a good hero who cares about the soldiers.

    "It's easy to be attacked if you're too close," Yan Xiang said.

    However, Yuan Shu still didn't take it seriously and said: "With the Yangzhou army here, what are you afraid of?"

    Yan Xiang shook his head helplessly, the lord had already swelled.  He had no choice but to visit Dian Wei, hoping to persuade him.

    "It's better to attack the camp, but I'm afraid he won't do anything. Otherwise, when will Wancheng be captured?" Dian Wei said.

    The Yangzhou army is not afraid of attacking the camp.

    Why do you say that? During recruit training, the recruit camp was attacked three or four times every night.

    Therefore, the Yangzhou Army has long developed a good habit of responding to camp attacks.

    What scares you most about being attacked at night???It's not how many enemies there are, but how panicked one's own people are.

    The psychological quality of the Yangzhou Army is very high, and they were all forced out.

    However, everyone was in peace on the first night, and Gao Shun stayed overnight in vain.

    When it was daytime, Yuan Shu ordered the construction of wells and ladders.

    Yuan Shu walked around the city, looking confident.

    Gao Shun couldn't stand it anymore and reminded: "General Yuan, why not fill in the gullies and moats in Wancheng first?"

    Yuan Shu suddenly realized this and ordered his soldiers to transport soil and fill the trench.

    During this period, Wancheng sent troops to fight, and the two sides had a small fight, with each other winning or losing.

    Three days later, a section of the moat was filled in.

    Zhang Xiu was frightened and ordered his soldiers to dig at night.

    When Yuan Shu got up in the morning, he saw that part of the filled moat had been dug through. He was immediately frightened and angry, and sent Ji Ling to fight.

    There was no response from the city.

    Yan Xiang said: "My lord, it is easy for us to fill it, but it is difficult for them to dig it, so why should we be afraid of them?"

    So, the two sides started a competition, digging and filling at the same time.

    Zhang Xiu finally discovered that his stupid method didn't work at all, because digging was time-consuming and laborious.

    Not only that, Yuan Shujun also took the opportunity to build wells and ladders.

    If this continues, there will be a battle sooner or later.

    "My lord, the enemy camp is very close to us, why not attack the camp." Lei Xu suggested.

    As soon as this idea popped up, it lingered in Zhang Xiu's mind, but he didn't want to take such a risk.

    After all, it is unreasonable to set up camp at such a close distance and attack the camp unprepared.

    On this day, Ji Ling came to challenge Zhang Xiu and scolded all eighteen generations of Zhang Xiu's ancestors.

    Zhang Xiu was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.

    "I heard that your aunt is still a beauty. How about you give me a good time when the city is destroyed?" Ji Ling teased.

    Now Zhang Xiu couldn't bear it anymore and raised his gun to fight, but was stopped by Lei Xu.

    "My lord, please don't act rashly, you are putting the safety of the city at risk!" Lei Xu said.

    Zhang Xiu is today only because of Zhang Ji's promotion. Now that his aunt is being humiliated, how can Zhang Xiu be able to swallow this sigh of relief?

    So he gathered five thousand troops and planned to attack the camp tonight.

    Lei Xu had already had this idea, so he did not continue to dissuade him.

    That night, the clouds were thick, blocking the moonlight, and the ground was pitch black.

    Yuan Shujun¡¯s camp was brightly lit, and his target was very obvious.

    Zhang Xiu personally led his army out of the city in the dark and was not discovered.

    "I will be responsible for the assault and ignition, and you will support me outside." Zhang Xiu said.

    "Lord, it's better for me to go!" Lei Xu stood up and said.

    "No, I'm very skilled in martial arts. Even if I'm discovered, I can escape unscathed." Zhang Xiu said.

    Lei Xu opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out. Zhang Xiu had already led the troops forward.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
