The Xiakou army had completed the siege of Wangting City, leaving only a gap in the north for the Xianbei people to escape.

There are Xiakou Cavalry Division stationed in three directions.

Today, Qin Qi called the commander of the cavalry division to the big tent to discuss the attack on Wangting and strive to capture Wangting City before it snows.

A fire was lit in the big tent, and mutton was roasting on the fire. Everyone drank, ate mutton, and chatted.

"Everyone, more than half a year has passed. We have also reached the Xianbei royal court. As long as we capture the royal court,

It means that the goal of the first stage has been achieved. By the spring of next year, we will attack Beihai again and kill the Xianbei people in one fell swoop.

Drive away the grassland races and completely eliminate the future troubles in the border areas of the Central Plains. Prevent the people of the Central Plains from being invaded by the grassland races again.

Looting and robbing ensure that the people of the Central Plains have a relatively peaceful and stable production and living environment."

Qin Qi said.

The expedition was launched in April, and now it is October. It will snow at any time, so we must seize the opportunity to capture the Royal Court.

Once it snows, the attack on the Royal Court must be halted.

Cao Cao put down his wine glass.

"Although this Wangting City is not a fortified city, it cannot be compared with any county in the Central Plains.

The problem is that the soldiers we sent out were all cavalry, no infantry, and no heavy weapons for siege.

If we attack forcefully, we will pay a huge price. We must attract the Xianbei people and grassland people in the city out of the city and fight them in the wild. We will not be afraid."

Cao Cao said.

All the generals nodded.

Indeed, the walls of Wangting are not high or thick. It is a city after all. It will be very difficult to take it down.

Due to the expedition, the Xiakou Army did not bring the powerful crossbows. The catapults can be built by the craftsmen accompanying the army, and their performance is slightly weaker.

"My lord, the grassland people are aggressive. We can use this characteristic to send a challenge request to the grassland people in the royal court. I think the other party will definitely agree."

Zhang Liao said.

Qin Qi nodded without making any sound.

Zhang Liao's plan has little chance of success if implemented. Prairie people are not fools. They know they can't defeat him, so why would they come to challenge him?

"What Wen Yuan said makes sense. Prairie people really like to fight. As long as the prairie people go out to fight, we can definitely kill a few more people."

Lu Bu said.

Qin Qi also believed that as long as the prairie people went to war, the few generals under his command would definitely be able to kill more prairie warriors.

The generals who went on this expedition were very powerful.

The first echelon includes three outstanding men, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun. Among the super-class generals are Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, and Tai Shici. Together with a wave of first-class warriors, they can completely crush the prairie warriors.

But what?

This kind of strategy seems to be too simple, and it is not easy for Xianbei people and grassland people to take the bait.

"Lord, we can send a few soldiers with loud voices to the side of Wangting City to scold the formation and encourage the prairie people to come out of the city to fight..."

Wei Yandao.

The scolding formation is an ancient method, mainly used to deal with the shrinking side in the city who dare not go to war.

It must be targeted.

When encountering a calm general, no matter how hard you scold the formation, it won't have much effect.

Like Sima Yi shrinking in the city, Master Zhuge sent all the women's clothes, and Sima Yi put them on directly, ignoring Master Zhuge's provocation. Master Zhuge had no choice but to retreat.

There will definitely not be a powerful boss like Sima Yi in Wangting City. The problem is that the grassland people in Wangting understand that now is a critical moment and there is no chance of winning if they leave the city. Who would be stupid enough to go out of the city to fight?

Qin Qi looked at the three powerful strategists Jia Xu, Xun You, and Fazheng. The three of them were the most powerful counselors in the Xiakou army.

Especially Jia Xu, who knows the grassland people better.

"My Lord, you can consider sending a letter to He Lian in the royal court, telling He Lian that as long as he goes out of the city to fight,

If we lose the battle, we can promise to retreat and no longer attack the royal court. With this guarantee, let’s see if Helian will be deceived.”

Jia Xu said.

The army was pressing down on the border, and the Helian company stationed in the royal court was under great pressure. They also wanted to reconcile with the Xiakou army and gain more time to rectify the deserted prairie people.

Once the integration is completed, Helian will no longer be afraid of the Xiakou Army Cavalry Division.

In terms of military strength, the company has an absolute advantage and is capable of fighting the Xiakou Army. The outcome is indeed a matter of outcome.

"Lord, you can add another condition. As long as we lose the battle, Helian will be given hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep."

Xun You said.

Lure them with benefits.

Qin Qi nodded.

"Lord, we need to prepare for the siege. Let the craftsmen with the army build catapults, and then we will bombard the Royal Court City together.

I took a look at the wall of Wangting City and found that it is not very strong. If you throw more rocks, you should be able to break through it."

Righteous Dharma.

Boom, boom, boom!

While everyone was discussing countermeasures, there was a knock on the door from an orderly soldier outside the tent.

"Come in."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, there are a few people outside the camp. I heard that they are envoys sent by Helian. They say they have something to discuss with them."

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

messenger!

He was sent by Helian, what's the matter with this kid?

"Lord, in that case, let's meet first and see if there is any chance to make a plan to let Helian jump into the pit."

Righteous Dharma.

Qin Qi nodded.

Damn it!

Give me a pillow to sleep on!

Just when I was thinking about how to plot against He Lian, He Lian immediately presented me with an opportunity. This must be such incredible luck!

"Invite the messenger to come in!"

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"Let's take a guess as to what conspiracy He Lian is playing and why he sent the envoy here."

Qin Qi said.

Hahaha!

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

"If nothing else happens, Helian should be ready to give in and send an envoy to discuss reconciliation with us."

Cao Cao said.

Xun You shook his head.

"Mengde, Wang Tingzhong Helian currently has a population of nearly 900,000, and can organize 600,000 cavalry at any time.

Helian couldn't give in. He thought that the main purpose of sending someone was to discuss the decisive battle between the two sides. After all,

Our long stay outside Wangting City is also a kind of pressure for He Lian, and we hope to determine the outcome as soon as possible."

Xun You said.

Qin Qi nodded secretly in her heart.

"He Company has an advantage in terms of military strength. We won't give in yet. We feel we have the strength to fight. The weather is getting colder and colder.

Helian was under great pressure, and he really wanted to tell the difference as soon as possible. After all, 900,000 people were shrinking in Wangting City.

It’s inconvenient to keep those cattle, sheep, and horses, so we can’t keep them all in the city!”

Righteous Dharma.

"My lord, I feel that Helian sent an envoy. It is likely that Helian sent someone to discuss the war with us."
