    The Battle of Xinye defeated the Jingzhou Army's attack and temporarily relieved the danger of the base camp. The generals present could deal with the Xiliang Allied Forces with confidence. How could they not be overjoyed.

    While the generals were overjoyed, they all admired Yan Liang even more, and were deeply impressed by his decision and courage to mobilize elite cavalry to go south at this critical moment.

    "General, how do you know that the Xiliang army will not take advantage of the opportunity to attack our camp?" Hu Cheer asked with a face of surprise.

    Yan Liang took a sip and said calmly: "I have said before that the main purpose of Ma Chao's invasion is to take advantage of the opportunity to eradicate dissidents. This man is extremely arrogant. He must think that he can defeat me sooner or later, so he is not in a hurry.  Take the opportunity to attack my camp."

    Yan Liang's words revealed the secret, and all the generals present suddenly realized it, and they all praised Yan Liang's accurate judgment.

    Even Jia Xu secretly sighed at this moment, sincerely admiring Yan Liang's courage and determination.

    The morale in the big tent was lifted to the extreme by this victory.

    Although Yan Liang was also pleased with Wen Chou's victory, he was not complacent about it. He knew very well that Xinye's victory was not a fatal blow to Liu Biao and was not enough to force Liu Biao to withdraw his troops and return south.

    Looking around at the excited generals, Yan Liang waved his hand slightly to signal everyone not to be too proud.

    The generals calmed down their excitement, and silence gradually returned to the tent.

    "It is gratifying to win the victory in Xinye, but it did not hurt Liu Biao. I think this guy will become angry and mobilize more troops to attack Chaoyang with all his strength. The threat from the south cannot be underestimated."

    Yan Liang's mind was clear after speaking. After the generals calmed down, they became worried again.

    Looking around at the generals, he saw only Jia Xu sitting leisurely, with an expression that seemed to have a plan in mind.

    "This old fox must have a countermeasure. If I didn't ask, he wouldn't tell me."

    Yan Liangliang smiled secretly and turned his gaze to Jia Xu.

    "Mr. Wenhe, the soldiers fought bloody battles and risked their lives. If you have any clever ideas that can save the lives of the soldiers, you might as well tell them."

    When Yan Liang said this, everyone looked at Jia Xu.

    Jia Xu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He said this to Yan Liang, as if he had a plan but was keeping it secret.

    At the moment, he could only smile and said: "The general said it, I just thought of a plan just now, and I didn't mean not to say it."

    Yan Liangliang secretly smiled, but said: "The general has made a mistake. I wonder if you have any clever ideas?"

    Jia Xu cleared his throat and cleared his thoughts.

    "The reason why Liu Biao dared to mobilize all his troops to attack Chaoyang in the north was just because the main force of our army was restrained by the Xiliang army. However, Liu Biao was not without worries. The old man thought, why didn't the general use his own methods to return the favor?  ¡±

    There was a hint of a sly smile in Jia Xu's narrowed eyes.

    "If you use the other person's way to repay the other person's body, do you think you are Gusu Murong"

    Hearing this familiar sentence, Yan Liang couldn't help but think of a novel he read in his previous life.

    He thought quickly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

    "Mr. Wenhe, do you want me to use the power of the Jiangdong Sun family to contain Liu Biao?" Yan Liang blurted out.

    Jia Xu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The general has a sharp mind, and it turns out that the Sun family in Jiangdong and Liu Biao are feuding. With such an excellent external force, it will be in vain if you don't borrow it."

    On the surface, Jia Xu seemed to be flattering Yan Liang, but his words contained a hint of self-reliance.

    Yan Liang had to admit that Jia Xu's strategy really impressed him, but in Yan Liang's view, Jiangdong's external force was not so easy to borrow.

    Yan Liang pondered for a moment, then said: "Sir's plan is certainly feasible, but don't forget, now that Sun Cexin has died, he has not inherited Sun Quan for a long time in Jiangdong, and the people inside are unstable. At such a delicate moment, I don't expect that Sun Quan may  We will raise an army to attack Jingzhou."

    As early as the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Sun Ce, who relied on his bravery, was killed by his enemies. The young Sun Quan was supported by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, succeeded Wu Hou and rebel general, and became the new overlord of Jiangdong.

    Now, Sun Quan is only eighteen or nineteen years old. The mountains and rivers east of the Yangtze River have not yet been leveled, and the people of the wealthy clan are not attached to him. As Yan Liang said, now is not the time for Sun Quan to expand.

    Hearing these words, Jia Xu¡¯s originally confident expression faltered slightly.

    After thinking for a moment, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh: "The general's words are reasonable, but I didn't think carefully enough."

    JiaXu seemed a little unsure of his own strategy.

    At this time, Yan Liang said: "That's not necessarily the case. Liu Biao is the most conservative. Sun Quan may not have to attack with a large army. As long as he shows a little bluff, I think Liu Biao will definitely be afraid. Even if he can't scare him to withdraw his troops, he will order  It¡¯s good that he doesn¡¯t dare to add more troops to Chaoyang.¡±

    Jia Xu deeply believed this, and all the generals also agreed.

    After the plan was decided, Yan Liang wrote a letter outlining his interests and asked his confidants to secretly sneak into Jiangdong to see Sun Quan.

    As soon as the messenger to Jiangdong left, the scouts from Wancheng sent an urgent military message, saying that the Xiliang army was attacking the city more urgently and that the situation in Wancheng was in danger.

    Yan Liang was secretly surprised and hurriedly took more than ten cavalry horses and left the camp to watch the battle near Wancheng.

    Stepping onto a hill, Wancheng was right in front of Li Xu.

    Thousands of Xiliang troops are attacking the city from the northeast and west. At a glance, the city wall is covered with ladders, and countless Xiliang troops are climbing up like ants.

    The moat at the west gate of Wancheng has been filled in, and dozens of assault vehicles are slamming into the city gate and city wall.

    A hundred steps away from the city, hundreds of wooden machines were raining down stone bullets on Wancheng.

    "It's a thunderbolt car!" Jia Xu blurted out in surprise.

    When Yan Liang heard the words "Thunderbolt Car", he was actually slightly shocked.

    Yan Liang knows that in fact, the so-called thunder cart is just a throwing cart, that is, a trebuchet.

    This kind of siege machine has been invented since the Zhou Dynasty. During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao used Liu Ye's suggestion to improve the siege machine, which greatly increased its power. Because when the stone was fired, it sounded like thunder, so it was named  Thunderbolt car naming.

    The Xiliang army was good at field battles but not good at attacking cities, but now they were suddenly equipped with a large number of thunder chariots. Yan Liang knew at a glance that Cao Cao must have secretly provided them with them.

    "You are so cruel, Cao Cao, you are trying to kill me!"

    Yan Liang¡¯s eyebrows were slanted, and resentment suddenly arose in his heart.

    In the field of vision, huge stones kept flying towards Wancheng. Under the strong impact, once the earth-built city wall was hit, the earth blocks would break into pieces and the wall would be damaged.

    The city wall was so hard that if the soldiers guarding the city were hit, they would all be turned into pulp on the spot.

    Facing such a powerful siege weapon from the enemy, the defenders on the city were all frightened and were so suppressed that they did not even dare to move their heads, while the Xiliang soldiers took the opportunity to climb up the city.

    No wonder the Xiliang army suddenly attacked the city so aggressively. It turned out that they relied on the cover of thunder chariots. If this situation continues, I am afraid that even with Gan Ning's courage, he will not be able to hold on for too long.

    "General, Ma Chao has been cruel. The situation in Wancheng looks a bit bad." Jia Xu, who had always been calm, also showed a bit of worry at this time.

    Yan Liang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Instead of showing any fear, they became even more serious and cold.

    Looking at the arrogant Xiliang Army, Yan Liang frowned and said coldly: "Ma Chao is forcing me like this. How can I allow him to be so arrogant? I will fight back immediately!"
