Huaiyin (present-day Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, China) defense line.

Zhang Fei is leading his troops all the way to kill, the defenders are all the way back, the defending general Lei Bo (Yuan Shu's subordinate) keeps gathering troops from the rear to station at the front line, Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) is empty, but Liu Bei's and Guan Yu's big troops have already bypassed by Shiyang (Yangzhou City, present-day Jiangsu Province, China) and come to the peace.

------

Under the city of Guangling.

It's nighttime, and there are fewer soldiers patrolling the towering walls than usual. Guan Yu is now wearing the attire of Yuan Shu's army, and in the daytime, they have already attacked Ping'an City, and now they have already come to the bottom of the city of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China).

Sun Qian asked:

"General Guan, when are we going to attack the city?"

Guan Yu caressed his long beard, Danfeng eyes narrowed, said to some Sun Qian:

"Sun Qian is not in a hurry, now is still early, the enemy did not slacken, to be Zi Hour (11:00 pm to 1:00 am) after the passage of time, we then go forward, will be loaded in the car transportation of military supplies to send on. When the enemy army opens the door, they will block the door with provisions, and Liu Bei will come to meet them by himself!"

"Good!"

Sun Qian responded, then to retreat. Seeing that Sun Qian wanted to leave, Guan Yu added: "You must be careful, once unsuccessful, then immediately retreat, this car will not want!"

Sun Qian heard, immediately puzzled.

"General looks like he is not too assured of this scheme?"

Guan Yu raised his head and sneered:

"How do I know that the guards in the city are not prepared? There's nothing wrong with being careful. Secondly, even if we lose a car this time, the responsibility is not ours, someone else will take the blame!"

Sun Qian heard, heart a sigh. In fact, after following Zhang Fei together with the ambush, he has been convinced of Liu Xian's wisdom. Since Liu Xian's arrival, it is the first time in so many years that he feels that he has won easily. However, Guan Yu seems to have a very strong opinion of Liu Xian. He advised:

"General Guan, this Liu Xian consigliere does have real material, if this is a great defeat, the general should not blame too much!"

"Huh?"

Guan Yu heard, looked at Sun Qian, then wide smile: "You do not have to be like this, I am not unable to tolerate people! That Liu Xian has some intelligence, why don't I know?"

"I just don't like his face when he is in power! This time, I've already captured Ping'an City in one day, and I'm just waiting for the result of this city. If it really succeeds, I will be convinced, if not, in the future, even if he does not go, I will not listen to his words!"

"Well ........."

Sun Qian heard here, no more persuasion, turned around and led the army to leave.

------

Waiting for Liu Bei to lead the elite troops to the nearby designated location, the people began under the cover of night, already ready to seize the city, just waiting for the time to enter the midnight (12:00 pm) in the middle of the night. Within a short time, the moon had formed a ring, and the hour of midnight (11 p.m. to 1 a.m.) had arrived. Guan Yu followed the plan and marched towards the city of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) with 500 soldiers escorting a large amount of grain and provisions.

Before entering a hundred paces, the general of the city of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) said in a loud voice:

"Stop, who are you!"

Guan Yu immediately said in a loud voice: "I am a grain transportation officer under the Lord's account, following the Lord's orders, I have come to deliver supplies!"

Seeing that Guan Yu had only a few hundred men, dressed in the attire of Yuan Shu's army, and with many vehicles, he did not want to be a fake, so he said.

"In that case, please wait! When I report to General Zhang, then let you in!"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Guan Yu heard, but could not help but feel nervous, but still said.

"As the heat is unbearable today, we only have to travel at night, and we are already exhausted! Please hurry up, General, so that we can enter the city and rest!"

The guard general was busy saying:

"This brother please forgive me, General Zhang's military rule is strict and does not allow us to let people into the city privately. I have sent someone to go, brother wait a moment!"

Guan Yu listened at the bottom of the city, already secretly nodding. No wonder his third brother was ambushed last time! Last time it was the opposite general Ji Ling, this time this general Zhang are not mediocre, is a capable person!

At this time, in the city of Guangling, Zhang Xun was sleeping peacefully when he suddenly heard the guards say:

"General, General!"

Zhang Xun was so shocked that he said together:

"What is it?"

The guard said:

"There is a group of people coming from outside the city, saying that they are sent by the Lord to transport grain, and have already reached the bottom of the city, wanting to enter the city."

"Huh?"

When Zhang Xun heard this, his heart was on alert. How could there be a grain delivery in this big night? He busily got up and said:

"What kind of clothing is this one wearing? From where is it sending the supplies? How many people in total?"

The guards were busy saying:

"This army is in the attire of our army! It was sent from the west. It's about a few hundred people."

Zhang Xun asked again:

"Has there been any news from Liu Bei in the north?"

The guard said, "Liu Bei's army is now being held up by General Lei Bo in the Huai Shui defense line and cannot attack forward, so when the Lord sends General Chen Lan over from Jiujiang County (present-day Jiangxi Province in China) he can take it down in one fell swoop."

After a series of questions, the trace of alarm in Zhang Xun's heart was gradually dispelled. Apparently, Ji Ling's ambush had scared Liu Bei, and in addition to taking away Xiapi, he was recuperating in Haixi for a few days, so I'm afraid that he would go to seize Donghai County (Linyi City, Shandong Province) next, wouldn't he? Furthermore, Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) is hundreds of kilometers away from Haixi (today's Shaanxi Province).

Furthermore, Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) is hundreds of kilometers away from Haixi (today's Shaanxi Province), and is separated by Shiyang, Ping'an, and Gaoyou (today's central Jiangsu Province, China) counties. Even if Liu Bei came over, these counties would not be able to fight him so quickly, and the defeated soldiers would come to report back!

Zhang Xun so think, so lie back, said aloud:

"It's just a matter of letting them enter the city to recuperate! The weather is hot and dry, and they must be tired from marching at night."

"Promise!"

The guards led the way. Zhang Xun listened to the sound of the guards' footsteps, and once again slept peacefully.

As a result, before he could enter dreamland, he heard a rush of footsteps sounding again. He immediately got up and said coldly:

"What is it again?"

This time it was the panicked voice of a guard who said:

"General, enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"What?"

Zhang Xun jumped up in a flash and said urgently:

"Where is the enemy attack?"

The guard called out:

"No, no...I don't know! General, hurry up and go! The enemy army has already entered the city! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xun instantly blanched.

How could this be possible?

Could it be that there was something wrong with the transporting soldiers?

He hurriedly put on his armor, kicked open the gate, and marched out of the mansion on the road:

"Come on people, organize the army and prepare for battle!"

As soon as he stepped out of his residence, he only heard shouts of killing and beacons in the city. He saw this situation, busy with soldiers to meet the battle. However, under the leadership of Guan Yu, a fierce general, Liu Bei's army was unstoppable and Yuan Shu's army was retreating. Within two hours, the city of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China) was completely captured by Liu Bei's army.

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Xun, who was tied up in front of him, and wondered.

"Are you the general of Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China)?"

Zhang Xun faced the fierce Guan Yu and said: "It is I, Zhang Xun!

"It is I, Zhang Xun! I used to win every battle with Ji Ling, but this is the result of today's defeat! I have nothing to say to the defeated general." "But before you kill me, I have one more thing to ask!"

Seeing this, Guan Yu proudly said:

"Go ahead."

Zhang Xun heard this and busily said:

"During the last ambush, Ji Ling thought he had not shown any traces, so how did you find out? Secondly, where did you come from today? Didn't the guards of the north side of the city see you?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Sun Qian said at the side:

"This is all my consigliere's credit, last time before we arrived at Guangling, the consigliere concluded that you must be ambushed! As for why we are here, this you do not need to care. The consigliere's wisdom, is not you can see through? "

Zhang Xun heard, another long sigh. How come I hadn't heard that Liu Bei's army had such a powerful person before? The thought that his behavior is completely under the control of the enemy, he is a burst of fear. What kind of clever ploy is this!

He sighed:

"I didn't want your army to have such a consigliere, I have not lost unjustly!"

Guan Yu was listening to him and was shocked. Just now, he was happy for the victory. But now, after listening to Zhang Xun's words, he felt a sense of shame. Obviously, in Zhang Xun's view, it is not defeated by their hands. Rather, it was defeated by Liu Xian's scheme. Think about it, if not for Liu Xian's strategy, how can this city of Guangling be easily defeated? Although he is arrogant, but not the people who do not know the rituals, even some frustration. Originally wanted to kill this Zhang Xun anger, now also lost interest.

He waved his hand and said:

"Come on people, this enemy will give me down, wait for Liu Bei and consigliere words!"

When Sun Qian heard this, a hint of a smile appeared on his face and said.

"General Guan this? "

Seeing this, Guan Yu's face, which was already red, added a few more points of redness, don't look away and said:

"Sun Qian, send people back to the big brother, say according to the consigliere's plan, this Guangling city has been taken!"

Sun Qian saw this, more heart smile. With this "according to the consigliere's plan" words, it proves that Guan Yu has already convinced Liu Xian's heart. However, he did not poke through, immediately haha a smile, will go down to arrange for the order to inform Liu Bei of this good news.
