    "My lord, Old General Liu is right. If Wang Xiong dares to rob food and grass, we will break through his Yuyang City and seize his Youzhou!" Liang Mao also suddenly realized.

    "Yeah, how could I forget this?" Gongsun Kang kept slapping his forehead.

    They had already thought of this situation when they sent Han Zhong to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to get supplies.  If the Wei army wants to rob food and grass, they must move in full force.  If this is the case, the entire Yuyang will become an empty city.

    "It's just that they didn't expect that Wang Xiong would really dare to send people to rob food and grass. Wouldn't this be worth the loss?"  If Yuyang can't hold on anymore, what's the use of food and grass?

    "Wang Xiong is so clever that he planted false flags and built an empty city just to block our army!" Gongsun Kang suddenly became energetic. He sat in front of the commander's case and took out a command arrow, "Liu Yi Liangmao, command you  The two of them will each lead five thousand soldiers and horses as the front team, and I will personally lead the other soldiers and horses as the rear team to attack Yuyang City!"

    "No!"

    The Liaodong soldiers were very fast. In less than half an hour, Liu Yi and Liang Mao led the army to the city.  The two of them looked up and looked carefully, and saw that the top of the city was covered with banners, and there seemed to be many soldiers standing there, but they were motionless?

    "General Liu, as expected, we guessed it right. Yuyang City is already empty, ha" Liang Mao laughed.

    "Warriors, rush in!"

    The Liaodong soldiers rushed towards the city. No arrows were shot from the top of the city, and no rolling logs or thunderstones fell. The Liaodong soldiers and horses rushed to the city gate. After carrying the wood and banging it hard a few times, the city gate opened.

    "Kill!" When the soldiers saw that there was no resistance from the defenders, their morale was boosted and they rushed into the city, shouting.

    As expected, the city was empty. Not only was there no sign of any soldiers, but even the common people had evacuated. This made the old general Liu Yi feel suspicious.

    "General Liang, it seems Wang Xiong has been prepared!"

    It is easier to evacuate the troops and horses, but it cannot be done in a day or two to evacuate all the people in the city.  In other words, at least three to five days ago, Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, had already begun to evacuate the people.

    There are four gates in Yuyang City. They just wanted to break through the city, so they did not besiege the city. Therefore, when the people evacuated, they did not notice at all.

    At this time, Gongsun Kang also entered the city with his army, and everyone gathered in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion.

    "Ha" Gongsun Kang burst out laughing, "Wang Xiong, you robbed me of my food and grass, but I took your Yuyang City!"

    "My lord, there is something fishy about this matter!" Liu Yi's face was full of worry, "The people in the city have also evacuated!"

    "The people have also evacuated?" Gongsun Kang was also a little strange. Without soldiers and horses, Yuyang City would naturally not be able to defend it. Wang Xiong wanted to evacuate. It was natural and logical, but why did he take the people with him?  Could it be that he was afraid that I would order a massacre of the city?  This general is a Han, so how could he do such a destructive thing? Besides, in troubled times, the common people are the foundation!  Without the people, where would the food come from?  Where did the troops come from?  Wang Xiong¡¯s son really judged a gentleman¡¯s heart with a villain¡¯s heart!

    "My lord, I'm afraid Wang Xiong has a conspiracy!" Liang Mao also said with some worry.

    "No matter what conspiracies he has, this general only knows that when Wang Xiong loses Yuyang, he loses his foundation. We will rest in the city for a day, explore Wang Xiong's whereabouts tomorrow, and then send troops to chase him. Even if he escapes to Zhuo  The county will also annihilate him!"

    "No!"

    So the Liaodong soldiers were stationed in the city. Liu Yi and Liang Mao were both veteran generals on the battlefield. They organized more than 20,000 troops into four military camps to support each other. They inspected carefully at night before falling asleep.

    At ten o'clock in the night, Gongsun Kang suddenly felt a burst of heat in his sleep. He woke up suddenly and found a bright light around him.  He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, surprised.

    "Firewhere did the fire come from?"

    "The city is floodedthe city is flooded"

    Before Gongsun Kang's clothes were neatly dressed, someone shouted.  He ran out of the inner room of the prefect's mansion in a panic, only to see fire everywhere in the courtyard, and his guards were already in chaos.

    "General, it's on fire!"

    "Everywhere is on fire!"

    "What the hell is going on?" Gongsun Kang shouted, the flames soaring into the sky, who wouldn't know it was a fire?  The key is that Gongsun Kang wants to figure out the reason.  Did one of our own soldiers accidentally start the fire, or did the enemy set the fire?

    "Lord, no, we've fallen into a trap!" The old general Liu Yi looked very embarrassed, with a gray face and a crooked helmet. He ran over in a panic.

      "What's going on?"

    "My lord, almost all the houses in this city are filled with fire starters. Now that it's dry, the enemy will shoot rockets into the city, and the entire Yuyang City will be on fire!"

    "kill!"

    At this moment, thunderous shouts of killing rang out outside the city, mixed with the sound of crackling fire.

    "My lord, the Wei army has entered the city, let's retreat quickly!" Liang Mao led a group of soldiers and horses and rushed over in a panic.

    "This retreat quickly" Gongsun Kang saw thick smoke billowing everywhere and flames soaring into the sky!  The screams of soldiers and the shouts of killing from the enemy were everywhere. His own troops could not assemble at all, so he had to withdraw from the sea of ????fire first.

    When they were approaching the city gate, a burst of arrows shot over them. The troops and horses of Liaodong became more chaotic. The generals could not find their soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their orders. They were like headless flies scurrying around.

    Under the protection of Liang Mao and Liu Yi, Gongsun Kang finally rushed out of the city gate and escaped from the sea of ??fire.

    The shouts of killing were still very loud, and by the light of the fire, we could see the soldiers of the Wei army coming over like a tide.  Gongsun Kang did not dare to stay outside the city and fled northeast.

    "Kill, don't let Gongsun Kang go!"

    "Whoever captures Gongsun Kang alive will receive a reward of one thousand!"

    The generals and soldiers of the Wei army shouted, but they did not catch up.

    Looking at the direction in which Gongsun Kang was escaping, Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, and Xu Shu, the chief governor, slowly came out of a forest on horseback.

    ¡°Yuanzhi¡¯s miraculous calculation has given us a complete victory in this battle!¡± Wang Xiong looked very happy.

    "Although Gongsun Kang's soldiers and horses have not been damaged much, he has become a frightened bird and will never dare to stop in Youzhou. And he will be intercepted and killed by Zi Jing on the way. Within a few years, he may not dare to stop in Youzhou.  Heading south to Youzhou!"

    "Youzhou can stay away from the flames of war from now on, and Yuan Zhi's contribution is indispensable! I will truthfully report to the king of Ming Wei and add credit to Yuan Zhi!"

    "Brother Wu Bo, I have already said that I am a Han official, and I will guard Youzhou for your majesty. I don't ask for rewards!"

    "Wang admires Yuan Zhi for his high righteousness!" Wang Xiong bowed his hand to Xu Shu, "Can we gather the troops to surrender?"

    "We have too few soldiers to collect so many surrendered troops, so let's let them escape! After half an hour, let the soldiers put out the fire!"

    "Okay!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
