"From today onwards, Xiao Qing is my wife."

Xiao Qing's head went 'weng' for a moment, his mind went blank, and his face became even redder. Yang Lin let her sit in his embrace before he lifted his head and smiled at Zhang Banxian, thinking back to the topic just now.

"Mr. Zhang, can you figure out what trouble I have?"

This time, it was Zhang Banxian's turn to feel awkward. Relying on his outstanding observation skills, he was able to determine who Yang Lin was, but he was still unable to understand what Yang Lin was thinking. He thought for a moment, then slowly said.

"To attack the xanthopanax, you don't need the cavalry of the Lord. The Lord won't be bothered by this. I heard that Master's cavalry of Youzhou is Master's private army, and his subordinates are all his brothers, so the Lord will not put in so much effort. My lord has seized a large portion of Bo's grain, and will not worry about it. If that's the case, Master can only be worried about his own future prospects. Master may be the commander of the Youzhou Army, but he is not an official appointed by the Imperial Court.

"Hehe, it is indeed the Zhang Banxian. However, you've only calculated half of it, it can only be a Half Immortal. "

Yang Lin had to be impressed, this Zhang Banxian really knew how to guess the hearts of humans. Suddenly, an idea popped up in Yang Lin's mind. There were many intellect in the Ying Chuan, he only remembered the famous strategists, how many of them had lost their talents because they did not have the chance to use him.

"Mr. Zhang, to tell you the truth, getting an official position for myself is only one thing. The other thing that worries me is that I want to recruit some intellect s for my use, while those intellect s only want to become officials in the imperial government and do not like the commanders of my army. Does mister have a good plan? "

This question was a little difficult, causing the Zhang Banxian to be stunned. Although he was observant, although he was eloquent, he had never thought of how to trick a intellect into her hands. He hesitated for a while before asking Yang Lin softly.

"Who does Lord Commander want to recruit?"

"Xun Yu, Xun You."

"Ah …"

Zhang Banxian was shocked. It was clear that he knew who they were, as these two were famous geniuses within the Ying Chuan. Their reputations had even spread to the Luoyang and were recognized by the Minister of the Court. However, the Zhang Banxian quickly regained her calm, he looked at Yang Lin and laughed lightly.

"Lord Commander, how about I recruit these two for you?"

"If Mr. Zhang can help me recruit these two people, I will become a military advisor."

It was a scorching summer day, and the sun was blazing like fire.

During the past few days, the Imperial army had been tightly surrounding the city, and there were officers and soldiers stationed at all four city gates. Looking from afar, the soldiers were all carrying ladders, holding shields, swords and spears. They were sweating profusely as they carried out their siege training meticulously. Behind the infantry soldiers, there were constantly mounted soldiers roaming about, vigilantly watching everything on the city walls. The siege war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

The attacks of the army were trained at any time and place, and the sounds of fighting and killing rose and fell everywhere. Some were in the morning, some were in the afternoon, and some were even in the night. The xanthopanax was unable to calm down throughout the day and night, and was always on guard against the attacks of the army.

, Xun You had thought of a plan as well. Even though the xanthopanax was very weak, even to the point of being a mob, the battle-hardened Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun would definitely not use their fifty thousand men to attack a city wall guarded by a hundred thousand men, unless they were crazy.

Surround and not attacking was their best choice. No matter how tight the city walls were, they could only defend for a while. There was no way they could defend for a lifetime. For a xanthopanax like Bo Lang, he was helpless and helpless. He could only sit there and wait for death, not needing to attack anymore, he would drag him down and drag him down to death.

This was the true sorrow of xanthopanax!

Just a few hundred miles away from the Yang Di, another of the main force of the xanthopanax, the Nanyang Yellow Scarf Army's Zhang Mancheng Tribe, was attacking the Nanyang City. Zhang Mancheng and Bo Cai, amongst the two of them, or their main generals, as long as one of them wanted to help the other, they would be able to escape from the fate of being destroyed one by one.

However, their eyes could only see the benefits in front of them. Just as they started fighting, after a few small victories, they already thought that they had the victory in their hands, as if the Darky Court had already collapsed. The only thing left was how to split the spoils. No one would be willing to see other xanthopanax being stronger than them, and even more so not take the initiative to help them. Seeing the Darky Court's army annihilate them one by one, no one thought of united.

History repeats itself time and time again. Almost all the peasant uprisings of the past dynasties have entered this strange circle.

On top of the Yang Di's city walls, Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, Pei Yuanshao, and Peng Tuo were patrolling the situation of the xanthopanax's soldiers. It was getting hotter and hotter, and Beauchamp, in his armor, was sweating profusely as he sat on his horse. He pointed the horsewhip at the drill officer across from him, and his face revealed a trace of mockery.

"Damned official dog, deliberately showing off your strength, surrounding and not attacking, bluffing. You actually want to trap us to death in Yang Di City, you must be daydreaming."

Seeing that the Generals had arrived, the guards on the city wall braced themselves and tried to stand up straight. However, he had no food in his stomach and no energy on his body. His body could not help but sway uncontrollably. Peng Tuo looked at Huang Shao and revealed a wry smile.

"Lord General, the officials really want to trap us to death. All the food in the city had been searched, and now the soldiers only had one serving of rice soup a day. Three days later, even the rice soup was gone. Even if we don't use the army to attack, I'm afraid we'll starve to death. "

When Bo saw how the soldiers ignored him, he began to whip angrily. But after hearing what Peng Tuo said, the whip stopped in mid air. He glared at the soldiers and retracted his whip. However, his heart was still unable to calm down. He shouted at the soldier.

"You can't even hold a spear, haven't you eaten?"

The soldier was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a "putong" sound. The long spear in his hand also fell to the ground, almost hitting Bo Cai. Fortunately, Bo reacted quickly and reached out to grab it. The soldier was even more frightened. He kowtowed with all his might, and blood started to flow out of his forehead.

"Marshal, have mercy! Marshal, have mercy! I haven't eaten for three days!"

As he spoke, the soldier fell to the ground, unconscious. He shook his head helplessly and threw the soldier's spear towards a microchieftain. He no longer paid any attention to the soldier and rode forward.

"Marshal, this Yang Di city is too small, we can't support over a hundred thousand people, so we have to think of a way. If we were to be surrounded by the army for a long period of time, we would all starve to death."

He really did not expect that a few days ago, he was still besieging the soldiers in the Long Society City, while the soldiers were eating and drinking. Now that the situation was reversed and he was trapped in the Yang Di with no food to eat, the retribution was too fast. The heavens were truly unfair.

"I have already decided. I will prepare tonight and break through tomorrow morning. If the army dares to obstruct us, we will fight them to the death. "

Peng Tuo, Huang Shao, and Pei YuanShao let out a long sigh of relief, as if they had breathed out all the depression in their hearts. This round, he had won two battles, and he already thought that he was incredible, not putting anyone in his eyes. It was rare for him to listen to his advice, so the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Marshal is wise."

Ever since she angered Huangfu Song about killing the captives and came to Yang Di for such a long time, Yang Lin had not had a chance to see him again. Whatever it was, Huangfu Song had always sent herald to inform them directly so that they wouldn't feel uncomfortable meeting each other in the heart.

But tonight, Yang Lin took the initiative to come to the Court officers's camp. According to his own report, he thought of Xun Yu and Xun You's plans, and his senses told him that Bo Cai was just about to break through. Although he was still dissatisfied with Huangfu Song, this did not affect his respect for him. Huangfu Song was also not a small fry. Upon hearing that Yang Lin requested an audience, probably because of the big matter of besieging the city, he immediately sent an order for Yang Lin to enter his Big Account.

"Greetings Lord General."

Yang Lin bowed respectfully towards Huangfu Song, thinking no matter what you do to me, I have already done my best. Besides, you are already so old, so I won't lose out if I treat you with more respect. Seeing Yang Lin's humble attitude, Huangfu Song lightly nodded.

"What does Lord Commander need?"

"For the past few days, I have been observing the yellow-robed soldiers on the city walls. This evening, the number of soldiers on the city wall suddenly decreased, but the inside of the city was abnormally quiet. "I think Bo is planning to break out tomorrow morning. He's here to report it."

The corner of Huangfu Song's mouth twitched. As an experienced general, he could already tell that the Bo Cai Army didn't have much food and wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. He reckoned that Bo Cai would probably be escaping in the next few days, but it was just that he wasn't as certain of a time as Yang Lin. He looked at Yang Lin and revealed a smile.

"Lord Commander is truly a genius, to be able to observe him so carefully, makes a very accurate judgement. But Lord Commander, according to your observation, which direction do you think Bo would run in? "

Yang Lin looked up at Huangfu Song. No way, you want to test me? Why does everyone want to test me? However, looking at Huangfu Song's serious expression, it was obvious that he did not mean to pursue the topic any further, and had started to appreciate Yang Lin a little.

"Lord General, I think Bo will definitely escape in the direction of Lunan, but not Mount Song. Bo only had a few hundred thousand men and if he ran towards the mountains, he would die. There was no way he could find so much food in the mountains. As long as they can escape to the Lunan, they might have a chance of survival. "

Huangfu Song muttered to himself for a while, and finally nodded his head, confirming Yang Lin's judgement, his face revealed a smile, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot gentler, and Yang Lin also felt that the old man was extremely cute, after hearing his tone of voice, he also relaxed a lot.

Zhang Jiao has taken over the giant deer, Nanyang has attacked and killed the Nanyang Taiyuan, and the other places have also become more and more chaotic. The imperial government has already issued an order, ordering us to lead our great army and head to Nanyang immediately to suppress Zhang Mancheng. "

"As for Bo Cai, if he really breaks through tonight, Imperial army will be in charge of annihilating Bo Cai on the spot. Lord Commander will immediately go back and prepare and cooperate with the operation tonight. Your troop of cavalry will be mainly responsible for chasing after Bo Cai's remnants.

In other words, the one who annihilated Bo Cai was going to be the Imperial army. Did he think that Bo Cai was too hungry and wanted to take advantage of us? But you left the cleaning up of the battlefield to me? It seemed that the old man had figured it out as well. He couldn't help but feel delighted as he replied loudly with clasped hands.

"Understood."

When Yang Lin left the tent, he had already mounted his horse and left. Huangfu Song was still staring at the entrance of the Big Account, his mind a blank. It was only until when Zhu Jun entered that he finally regained his senses. He looked at the entrance of the Big Account and asked Zhu Jun.
