Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 531 The Time Has Come
A few days later, Chaoge, Chunan Camp.

In the brightly lit crypt, the ants that had dug their way out were resting. Suddenly, their tentacles moved and quickly gathered in front of Chu Nan. Zhou Cang ran in quickly and shouted to Chu Nan from a long distance away: "My lord, there are flying pigeons in Jizhou to send letters!"

"Oh? Bring it!"

Hearing this, Chu Nan turned over and sat up from the kang, beckoned Zhou Cang to bring the letter, and opened it to read.

Liu Ye, who was in the distance, heard the movement, stepped forward, and came to Chu Nan's side.

"Yuan Shao has dispatched troops!" Chu Nan looked at the contents of the letter, and his eyes showed a look of joy, because Lu Bu had already started to march towards Dai County. Yuan Shao finally mobilized all the elites and rushed to Youzhou. , General Jiang Yiqu led Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to guard Yecheng.

Liu Ye laughed and said, "Congratulations, my lord, the overall situation is settled!"

That's right, the overall situation has been settled from the moment Yuan Shao decided to go to Youzhou to stop Lu Bu. In the original plan on Chu Nan's side, there was no participation of the Zhen family. Since Lu Bu and Chen Gong sent troops, it was obviously resolved. As far as the issue of food and grass is concerned, even if they finally get the food and grass prepared by the Zhen family, for Lu Bu and Chen Gong, it is just icing on the cake, not necessary.

"Notify Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Li Tong, and General Huang to come see me!" Chu Nan put down the letter and looked at Zhou Cang.

"Here!" Zhou Cang agreed, and ran away in a hurry.

After a while, General Yu Jin came to the crypt, bowed to Chu Nan and said, "I have seen the Lord."

"The good opportunity has come. Yuan Shao has gathered all his elites to go to Youzhou to fight with my teacher and father-in-law. The opportunity to capture Yecheng has come." Chu Nan looked at the four generals and said.

"Could it be that my lord already has a way to break the court song?" Yu Jin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Nandao.

"No!" Chu Nan shook his head.

The ban:"……"

"My lord, this Chaoge is the gate of Yecheng. If I don't break Chaoge, how can I break Yecheng?" Xu Huang asked with a bow.

"Chaoge doesn't have to be destroyed. As long as Yecheng is captured, Chaoge will be a lonely city. There is no rush." ​​Chu Nan said with a smile, "I want to destroy Yecheng first, and then encircle Chaoge!"

The Black Mountain Army has been hiding for so long, and it is time to use it.

The generals were puzzled, but Chu Nan didn't want to explain, and said directly: "Wen Ze, Gong Ming, Wen Da!"

The three of Yu Jin looked serious, and hurried forward and said: "The end is here!"

"The three of you each lead a group of soldiers and horsemen to surround Chaoge. You don't need to attack the city. You just need to trap Cao Ren and cut him off from the outside world. If he leaves the city, he will beat the enemy hard. If he doesn't leave the city, don't worry about it. Neither food nor messengers are allowed to be put in." Chu Nan looked at Yu Jin and said, "After I leave, Wen Ze will be the chief general, responsible for unifying the three armies!"

"Here!" Yu Jin quickly agreed, seeing that Chu Nan had no other orders, he immediately withdrew.

"General Han Sheng!" Chu Nan looked at Huang Zhong.

"The last general is here!" Huang Zhong stepped forward and bowed.

"You follow me, it depends on the general to defeat the enemy!" Chu Nan laughed.

"Here!"

"My lord, when will Yecheng be destroyed?" Yu Jin couldn't help asking.

"When Yuan Shao fought his father-in-law, it was our army's opportunity to break through Ye City!" Chu Nan stood up and laughed.

I'm afraid I have to wait for a while!

Yu Jin calculated that it would take at least two days for Yuan Shao to lead his troops north to reach Youzhou, and then fight Lv Bu. The news would take five days at the earliest, but Yu Jin was not sure whether Chu Nan could break through Ye City.

After all, Yecheng is where Yuan Shao's capital is located, and even a song of the court has prevented them from advancing an inch. Even if Chu Nan still has a secret hand to dispatch, I am afraid that there are not many soldiers. He guessed that Chu Nan probably bought the generals in the city or planted secrets in the city. Cooperating with the surprise attack on Yecheng, it is possible to break through, but there is also a risk of failure.

Let's talk about it yourself.

Chu Nan made some arrangements and left Liu Ye as the military adviser to assist Yu Jin. At the same time, after coordinating the transportation of food and grass here, he took Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and five hundred personal guards to leave the camp through the tunnel.

"Sir, what should I do?" Yu Jin asked Liu Ye after seeing Chu Nan leave.

"My lord has already said that the three generals happened to lead the way to guard the city and cut off Chaoge's connection with the outside world. As for the rest, the general is the commander. Don't ask me!" Liu Ye laughed. So staying, in addition to organizing food and grass, the most important thing is to help Yu Jin solve some problems that the generals cannot solve, such as Sima Yi's Qimen Dunjia, or some methods that the generals do not know.

"Then I will leave first!" Yu Jin nodded, it seemed that Chu Nan did not lose his military power because of leaving.

On the other side, after Chu Nan left the camp with Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang, he went straight to Luchang Mountain, and then entered the Taihang Mountains through Luchang Mountain.

In the Taihang Mountains, the monsters he left behind are everywhere, so it is not difficult to find Zhang Yan's location.

After entering the mountain, the monsters from all walks of life in Taihang Mountain sensed the arrival of their master, roaring excitedly one by one, and some came straight to Chunan.

Zhang Yan also sensed that it was Chu Nan coming through the abnormal movement of the monster, and quickly rode a wolf monster to meet Chu Nan.

Soon, the two met in a cottage.

"The last general, Zhang Yan, see my lord!" Zhang Yan hurriedly bowed down when she saw Chu Nan.

Although they are relatively independent, Zhang Yan is very clear that the black mountain army is now relying on these monsters left by Chu Nan. Without Chu Nan, they are unable to survive in the vast Taihang Mountains. They seem to be independent, but in fact, The Black Mountain Army relied more heavily on Chu Nan, and they dared not be disrespectful to Chu Nan.

"No need to be too polite!" Chu Nan went straight to the village, sat down on the main seat, looked at Zhang Yan and said, "When I left, I asked you to train your troops well. How many soldiers can the Black Mountain Army have?"

"Return to the lord!" Zhang Yan looked solemn, bowed to Chu Nan and said, "Now in Taihang Mountain, our Black Mountain Army has about [-] soldiers available, but they are scattered all over Montenegro, and it takes three days to assemble."

"Twenty thousand?" Chu Nan pondered, "It's almost there. Immediately order the army to assemble and be ready to go out with me at any time."

The [-] Black Mountain Army is not too much in today's battlefield between the two sides, but it is definitely a lot. If they can successfully break through Ye City, the [-] Black Mountain Army will be enough to block counterattacks from all sides.

"Here!" Zhang Yan agreed without the slightest hesitation, and immediately began to send people to various places to deliver orders, and the Black Mountain Army assembled.

Since Chu Nan left, the Black Mountain Army had no foreign aggression and hid in the Black Mountain. Zhang Yan has been training the Black Mountain Army for a while. Chu Nan has a training policy for Zhang Yan, just like the Central Plains soldiers, except for military training. In addition, the Black Mountain Army also has military discipline. For this reason, Chu Nan specially sent a group of people into Montenegro to assist in training.

Now the Black Mountain Army, Chu Nan is not worried about their rebellion at all.

After Zhang Yan arranged for someone to deliver the letter, she came back, looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile, "My lord, I don't know where our army will attack this time?"

"Yecheng." Here, Chu Nan did not hide anything, and directly stated his purpose.

"Yecheng!?" Zhang Yan looked at Chu Nan in astonishment: "My lord, Yecheng is the foundation of Yuan Shao. It has enough soldiers and food. With only 20,000 people and horses in our army, it may be difficult to break through."

"That was in the past. Now that Yuan Shao has led the elite northward to Youzhou, Yecheng is at its emptiest right now." Chu Nan shook his head and said with a smile: "The attack on Yecheng this time is not a forceful attack. As for how to attack the city, when the time comes I will explain it to you."

"Since the lord has made plans, the last general will not say much!" Zhang Yan nodded, and he was also curious about what methods Chu Nan would use to attack Yecheng, a fortified city.

Anyway, if conventional methods are used, even if Chu Nan conquers Jizhou and encircles Yecheng, it is not surprising that Yecheng is so strong that it can be defended for a year or two.

"Assemble the troops first, I'll make some preparations!" Chu Nan asked Zhang Yan to stay here to assemble the troops, and then left with Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang. This time, he did not bring his escort, and the three went down the mountain lightly. All the way to the vicinity of Yecheng, watching Yecheng from a distance.

"My lord, the green aura of the city of Yecheng is full of green energy. This green energy is invulnerable to all evils, and it is difficult for monsters to approach." Huang Zhong stood beside Chu Nan, and when he saw Chu Nan let the monster ants go, he reminded him.

When they attacked Chaoge before, they also tried to break through the city with monsters, but although monsters can cause chaos in the city, they will become limp and powerless when they get close to the green energy, ready to be slaughtered.

It's useless even to use monster ants to dig tunnels. Also, if you get close to the city, you will be injured by the green energy. The effect of the green energy on the city's protection against monsters is beyond imagination.

"Then it won't be close to the city." Chu Nan pointed in the direction of the gate of Yecheng, estimated the distance, and said, "The most important thing about this surprise attack is a strange character. I still have time to prepare, and Yecheng is not like that." The city gates are closed every day like Chaoge, I only have a short chance, and this chance depends on the general!"

"The last general?" Huang Zhong looked at Chu Nan in surprise.

"Yeah." Chu Nan nodded, without further explanation, it's still early, and he will launch an attack on Yecheng only after he is sure that Lu Bu is really fighting Yuan Shao. There is only one chance, and he can only use this Once, it will be useless for people to have defenses in the future.

This was originally the method he planned to use against Cao Cao, but it was a pity that Cao Cao was killed in that battle, and Xu Chang was suddenly in a turmoil, so naturally he didn't use it, but now he used it to deal with Yuan Shao.

He took Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang around Yecheng, and after exploring the terrain around Yecheng, he turned around and left without doing anything.

The next thing to do is to wait, wait for the assembly of Zhang Yan's army, and wait for the news from the old man. He has to make sure that Yuan Shao has arrived in Youzhou and started a war with the old man. That's it, it's over.

When the group of three returned to the Black Mountain camp, two troops had already assembled. Compared with the last time, the Black Mountain Army as a whole is now a bit less bandit-like, and a bit more imposing that a real army should have. Chu Nan is very satisfied. With such conditions, one cannot expect the Black Mountain Army to produce any elites. That is unrealistic...
