Dongpingling is the administrative seat of Jinan. Wang Yan led the five armies to set out from Linzi County, with Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan as the vanguard. Because Wang Yan gave the three men the right to act alone, the army led by the three men had long since disappeared from sight, leaving only the scouts to communicate. In less than three days, all 50,000 troops under Wang Yan arrived at Dongpingling. However, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and Wei Yan did not appear, and it is unknown where the three of them went. Sheriff¡¯s Mansion, lobby. Wang Yan sat on the main seat, his eyes fell on Huang Zhong, and asked: "Hansheng, how is the situation in Jinan?" Huang Zhong said seriously: "Reporting to my lord, everything is fine in Jinan, and the unrest in the country has long been resolved. Clear them all. In addition, for this battle with Jizhou, I have recruited a total of 30,000 troops. After a short period of training, the 30,000 troops have basically formed a fighting force. " "Very good!" Wang Yan's face said. Showing appreciation. In the short period of time Huang Zhong was in Jinan, he raised 30,000 troops, which was a pretty good achievement. In the past, out of the more than 10,000 soldiers trained by Huang Zhong at Mingyuan Camp in Donglai County, only more than 1,000 soldiers followed Huang Zhong to Jinan. The rest of the main troops stayed in Linzi County. With the few troops in hand, Huang Zhong quickly recruited 30,000 troops, and his ability was excellent. More importantly, the basic combat effectiveness mentioned by Huang Zhong, although it sounds ordinary, is definitely elite. Wang Yan changed the topic and asked: "What is the fighting situation in the counties bordering Pingyuan County in Jinan Kingdom?" Huang Zhong showed a smile on his face and said unhurriedly: "Currently, all of Yuan Shao's troops have been stationed in Pingyuan County. Now, Yuan Shao regards Pingyuan County as his stronghold, and Yuan Shao has not yet entered Jinan Kingdom. It seems to be hidden but not lacking, which is a bit strange. "At this time, a scout hurriedly entered the hall and walked directly towards Wang Yue. The scout whispered a few words into Wang Yue's ear, and saw Wang Yue's expression change slightly. Wang Yue received a letter sealed with fire paint and waved the scout to retreat. Without waiting for Wang Yan to speak, Wang Yue stood up and said, "My lord, there is a letter from Qi Xuan, Prime Minister of Le'an." Immediately, Wang Yue handed Qi Xuan's letter into Wang Yan's hands. Wang Yan opened the letter and quickly scanned the contents of the letter. After reading it, the look on Wang Yan's face gradually became serious, and he was no longer as relaxed as before. Huang Zhong's heart sank and he asked: "Lord, what happened in Le'an Kingdom?" Guo Jia suddenly said: "Is it possible that Yuan Shao is attacking Le'an Kingdom?" Jia Xu's eyes remained calm and he said calmly: "Worst plan , Maybe Le'an Kingdom has already fallen." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. Wang Yan took a deep breath and said: "The war situation is not at its worst. Qi Xuan's letter said that Yuan Shao's army suddenly appeared in Qiancheng County, which borders Le'an State and Pingyuan County. After Qi Xuan discovered the Jizhou soldiers, he immediately organized an army to resist Now, the two sides are fighting with Qiancheng County as the boundary. Qi Xuan's letter also said that in order to resist Yuan Shao, he organized an army of 40,000 to fight. No matter what, Qi Xuan will fight to the end. He said that his ability to command troops is limited, so please support him as soon as possible. "Guo Jia suddenly said: "Come here, bring me the map of Le'an Country." Shi A heard this and immediately gave the order. Soon, a scout from the Intelligence Department brought a map. Guo Jia asked the sentinel to hang up, then stood next to the map and found Qiancheng County. Qiancheng County is located to the west of Le'an State and borders Pingyuan County. Guo Jia stared at the map and said: "My lord, Qiancheng County is not far from Linji County, the seat of Le'an Kingdom. Qi Xuan has already stabilized the turbulent situation in Le'an Kingdom in the short time he has been in Le'an Kingdom. Since this is the case, Then Qi Xuan should have enough defensive power in Qiancheng County and Linji County. It should be no problem for him to use his power to delay for a period of time. " Wang Yan's eyes lit up and he asked: "What do you mean by Feng Xiao? Aren't you going to send troops to rescue?" Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Pingyuan County borders Jizhou. Now, Yuan Shao's base camp is located in Pingyuan County. As long as the lord captures Pingyuan County, it means cutting off Yuan Shao's retreat. At that time, Yuan Shao could only abandon Le'an and return to Pingyuan County. In this way, the lord could use Yuan Shao's retreat to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. "Jia Xu asked, "Surround Wei and save Zhao?" Guo Jiandao: Yes! " Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said, "Is there another possibility? The real purpose of Yuan Shao's sending troops to Le'an is to attract the lord to attack Pingyuan County. In fact, Yuan Shao had already laid a trap in Pingyuan County, waiting for his lord to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. Yuan Shao also wanted to take this opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop.Mr. " Guo Jiadao: "Mr. Wenhe means that Yuan Shao's attack on Le'an Kingdom is just a bait. " Jia Xu judged: "It is possible! " Under this premise, the lord adopts the strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. In fact, it is equivalent to directly attacking Pingyuan County, because Le'an Kingdom itself is not in danger and does not need rescue. " "Assume that Yuan Shao's attack on Le'an is true, and the lord adopts the strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao. In this way, the crisis in Le'an Kingdom can be relieved, and we can also take this opportunity to ambush Yuan Shao in Pingyuan County. " "I believe that no matter what Yuan Shao's true purpose is, he must implement the strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. " Whether Yuan Shao set up an ambush in Pingyuan County or not is the second step of his plan. Wang Yan nodded and said, "Mr. Xiuruo's analysis makes sense. No matter what, Pingyuan County must be attacked." " Jia Xu thought carefully and nodded in agreement with Xun Yan's analysis. Wang Yan's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he continued: "According to Mr. Xiuruo's analysis, let's continue. Assuming that Yuan Shao has no ambush in Pingyuan County, what should we do to maximize our benefits? Suppose Yuan Shao has laid a dragnet in Pingyuan County waiting for us to attack, how should we deal with it to win. The most important key is whether the two situations can be combined into one strategy. " Guo Jia thought carefully and suddenly said: "Do you think it is feasible to combine them into one strategy? At that time, no matter what situation we encounter, it will be beneficial to us. " Wang Yan asked: "How to operate? " Guo Jiawei # said: "My lord has forgotten, do we still have three ambush troops outside? Making good use of these three ambushes, plus the tens of thousands of troops under the lord's command, is enough to devise a plan. The specific steps, we do this, no matter what Yuan Shao's strategy is, the lord can deal with it calmly and proceed step by step according to the plan. " Wang Yan carefully calculated and approved the plan mentioned by Guo Jia. He raised his head and looked at the crowd and asked: "Gentlemen, do you have anything to add about Fengxiao's plan? " Jia Xu, Xun Yan, Huang Zhong and others spoke one after another to fill in some details of the plan. The whole plan was soon completed. Wang Yan looked at Wang Yue and ordered: "Send a message to Taishi Ci, Wei Yan and Gan Ning, let them act according to the plan. "In fact, the plan formulated by Guo Jia did not impose many restrictions on Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and Wei Yan, and still gave them enough space. "Nuo! " Wang Yue nodded in agreement. Wang Yan looked at the people under the tent and ordered: "The policy for this battle has been set, so I won't go into details. Everyone go down and prepare. This afternoon, the army set off and entered Pingyuan County. " "No! ¡± Everyone responded with high morale and fighting spirit.
