When Liu Meng ran up the city wall, the artillery bombardment of the Wei army had ended.

The Xiongnu leader on duty said to him: "Return to Zuoxian King, the Wei army only bombarded for a while, and there was no movement. He did not realize that they seemed to be attacking the city."

Holding the battlements and looking out of the city, Liu Meng found that the Wei army showed no sign of siege.

With his brow locked, he ordered the Xiongnu leader on duty: "Keep paying attention to the movements of the Wei army, and report to me immediately if they have any abnormal movements."

The leader of the Huns agreed, and Liu Meng held the battlements and looked at the Wei army camp outside the city for a moment, and then got off the city wall.

This time he left the city wall, the Wei army's cannons did not roar again.

On the top of the city, the Xiongnu leader on duty looked out of the city, his face full of solemnity.

The Wei army's cannons pointed at the city wall and could launch a new round of bombardment at any time.

The Hun leader who had endured a cannon bombardment deeply felt that when the cannons bombarded the city wall, the entire Yunzhong City seemed to be trembling.

As long as the killing weapon that bombards the city wall lasts for a period of time, the city wall of Yunzhongcheng may collapse with a bang.

Outside the city, the Wei army camp.

Cao Heng stood at the edge of the military camp and looked at Yunzhongcheng, which had been bombarded.

The only one who was by his side was Cao Yi, the second prince of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Jiang Wei and Lu Xun, and Zhang Shao came from behind.

"Crown Prince." The three of them greeted Cao Heng. Jiang Wei said, "It was only after I got the reward for the exploration of the horse. The King of Guli from the Xiongnu received the news that our army had besieged Yunzhong. They had sent troops with Yuanyang, intending to come and rescue."

"What's the arrangement with Cheng Le?" Cao Heng asked casually.

"General Ling led the Feixiong Camp to prepare. As long as King Zuo Guli arrives at Baiqu, he will immediately raise an army to seize Chengle." Jiang Wei replied: "On the north bank of Baiqu, our soldiers have also buried landmines. As long as King Zuo Guli stepped on the shore, they will immediately fall into the minefield arranged by our army."

Cao Heng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Wei also said: "What is really worth worrying about is King Youguli who sent troops from Yuanyang. Our army did not deploy interception along Yuanyang. If King Youguli's troops headed straight to Yunzhong, it would be very likely that they would echo the Huns in the city and form a pincer attack on our army."

"What I have to do is to let King Youguli come here." Cao Heng smiled indifferently and said to Jiang Wei: "If he doesn't come, how can I defeat the aid?"

Jiang Wei and others looked at each other, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

"The prince said earlier that he wanted to siege the city and attack aid, and he should have deployed troops halfway." Lu Xun said: "Now our army has not only not deployed troops halfway, but also has the intention of allowing King Zuo Guli's troops to come to Yunzhong. I really couldn't understand what the prince wanted."

"My intention is so obvious, don't you understand at all?" Cao Heng asked Jiang Wei and others.

"We really understood the earlier deployment." Jiang Wei replied: "But we didn't understand much if we let King Youguli lead the Huns to the nearby area."

"Only by letting the Huns in the city see their reinforcements be destroyed, their morale will be completely destroyed." Cao Heng said: "When we break through Yunzhong City, street fighting is still essential. The lower the spirit of the Huns in the city, the smaller the losses our soldiers will suffer."

Everyone looked at each other, and Lu Xun asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"Boyan asked how to defeat King Youguli?" Cao Heng knew what Lu Xun was asking, so he asked him.

"That's right." Lu Xun replied: "The troops of King Youguli are quite large. When they come here, our army will not be able to destroy them in one fell swoop even if they attack the entire line. Since the prince planned to wait for them to arrive, he should have already made plans for how to repel King Youguli's troops..."

"No!" Cao Heng's answer surprised Jiang Wei and others.

Jiang Wei asked in surprise: "The prince is not prepared at all?"

"No." Cao Heng replied: "With you guys here, what do I need to prepare?"

Several people were stunned, and Jiang Wei blurted out: "The prince means..."

"Please the attack on Yunzhong and the second prince." Cao Heng said: "Please hand it over to you by blocking the Xiongnu Youguli King."

Obviously, Jiang Wei and others did not think that the task of blocking King Youguli would be assigned to them.

What's even more terrible is that Cao Heng didn't mention it to them before, but he only told the plan after they came over to inquire.

"We have insufficient troops, how can we stop the King Youguli?" Jiang Wei said: "If we allow them to come to the edge of Yunzhong City, once the Huns in the city rushed out, we will be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. If we do not let them get too close, the Huns in the city will not see that King Youguli was defeated, and the prince's deployment will not work at all..."

"Then wait until they come to the vicinity of Yunzhong. As for the Huns in the city, the second prince and I will not let them rush out." Cao Heng smiled slightly and said to Jiang Wei and Lu Xun, Zhang Shao: "You go back first to discuss how to deal with King Youguli, how many troops to call, how many weapons to use, and how much military rations to allocate, and then report to me until you make plans."

Jiang Wei and others knew that he didn't want to say much, so they had to sue him and leave.

Watching Jiang Wei and others leave, Cao Yi asked Cao Heng: "Brother, is it a bit of a burden to stop the Xiongnu Youguli King to General Jiang and the others..."

"It's a little sudden?" Cao Heng interrupted him.

"That's what it means." Cao Yi said: "I didn't inform them in advance that they would make such a deployment. I suddenly handed over the military affairs to them, if..."

"There is no in case." Cao Heng replied: "With their ability, if they cannot stop the King of Youguli of the Xiongnu, they can only say that they have always been frivolous."

Smile to Cao Yi, Cao Heng asked, "Do you think that which of them will be a false reputation?"

Cao Yi looked at Cao Heng in surprise.

Although he didn't think Jiang Wei and others were all frivolous, Cao Heng did not even understand how this arrangement was.

"Jiang Boyue and others responded to the King Youguli." Cao Heng patted his arm lightly and returned to the city wall in the clouds: "How do you think the Huns in the city cannot kill out?"

"The Huns have only two ways to get out of the city." Cao Yi replied: "One is to go to the city gate, and the other is to climb out of the city wall. As long as our army aims the gun at the city gate, once the city gate is opened, the road will be broken."

"If they plan to climb out of the city wall, what do you think they should deal with it?" Cao Heng asked.

"Climbing out of the city wall, the Huns' arrows will definitely shoot our army wherever our bows and arrows reach." Cao Yi replied: "Because the city wall does not need to be as congested as in the city gate, the cannons should not have much effect..."

"What do you think if you use more tung oil and light a fire under the city wall?" Cao Heng suddenly asked.

"How much tung oil does that take?" Cao Yi said in surprise: "The tung oil our army carries is probably not enough..."

"It was just burning until Boyue and the others defeated King Youguli." Cao Heng replied: "In fact, it doesn't take much."

Cao Heng obviously had a sense of trust in Jiang Wei and others, and Cao Yi did not dare to argue anymore. He could only hope that Jiang Wei and Lu Xun would not disappoint him.

If the King of Guli is successfully arrived, the Wei army will definitely be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

There is no need to worry about King Zuo Guli. As long as he leads the Huns across Baiqu, he will step into the minefield that the Wei army had already arranged.

When entering the minefield, I am afraid that not many Huns can rush out in a hurry.

When they withdraw to Cheng Le, the Feixiong Camp led by Commander Ling should have seized the city.

What is really worth worrying about is the troops of King Youguli who came from Yuanyang.

There was no obstacle in the middle of the road. When they arrived outside Yunzhong City, the Xiongnu people in the city would definitely be in high spirits.

Once the Huns attacked each other inside and outside, no matter how fierce the Wei army was, they would face a hard battle.

No matter how Cao Yi thought, he felt that Cao Heng’s deployment this time was inappropriate.

But Cao Heng insisted on doing this. As the second prince, he could not confront him in person and argue with him.

The only thing he can do is to wait and see the situation, make corresponding arrangements at any time, and do his best to help Cao Heng stabilize the situation when necessary.

Cao Heng's eyes remained at the city wall in the distance.

He did not go to see Cao Yi, but said, "Are you thinking about how to turn the situation around and help me stabilize the situation when our army is unfavorable?"

He exposed his thoughts, Cao Yi lowered his head and replied, "I dare not deceive the emperor brother, I really think so."

"Actually, you don't have to worry about these things at all." Cao Heng said confidently: "My plan cannot fail, nor will it fail. Just wait and see the result."

"I have recorded everything that the emperor said." Cao Yi bowed and responded.

"I know you don't believe it very much." After looking at him, Cao Heng turned his eyes to the city wall again and said, "It is not unreasonable that I will deploy this way. Since I returned to the outside world this time, I found that Boye and their dependence on me seemed to be a little deeper than before. If they did not put some pressure on them at this time, the role they could play in the future would be extremely limited. If a wise general like them stopped talking one day, it would be extremely serious for the Great Wei and for me. In order not to let this day come, I could only take some risks and use the King of Youguli to come to help, so that they could think of retreating to the enemy together."

"The emperor also said there was a risk." Cao Yi asked, "How can you be sure that this plan is foolproof?"

"There is no other reason, just because I believe them." Cao Heng replied: "I have already said just now that if even the King of Youguli of the Huns cannot deal with them, they will be considered a false reputation and there is no need to give me any advice in the future."

"I understand what the emperor brother means." After understanding what Cao Heng means, Cao Yi replied: "I will do my best to assist the emperor brother and prevent the Huns from breaking through in the city."

Looking at Cao Yi again, Cao Heng nodded: "Only we are discussing how to intercept the enemy in Yunzhongcheng."

Cao Heng and Cao Yi discussed how to stop the Huns from leaving the city, and Jiang Wei also led Lu Xun and Zhang Shao to his camp.

After entering the camp and the three of them sat down, Jiang Wei asked Lu Xun and Zhang Shao: "The prince gave us the responsibility of repelling King Youguli without any warning. What do you think?"

"I think the prince may be a little dissatisfied with us." Lu Xun replied: "Since the prince came out of seclusion, we have given him fewer and fewer strategies. Many things are the prince himself making decisions. In terms of uselessness, we are not as good as generals such as Ling Tong and Wen Yang, and we are just giving advice and helping the prince. Now that we don't have any ideas, we will rely on the prince, and he will definitely have some thoughts in his heart."

"General Lu's statement coincides with me." Zhang Shao replied: "I remember before the prince brought me and my brother outside the pass, he told me that he hoped I could make more plans when he arrived here. But since the pass, the two generals gave him some suggestions, and I have never said anything I have made. The prince should not be very dissatisfied with the two generals, as for me..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shao sighed and shook his head.

"The two people have similar views as I think." After Lu Xun and Zhang Shao both expressed their opinions, Jiang Wei said: "The prince did not inform us in advance, it was simply that he wanted to verify our abilities. The Xiongnu King Youguli was a large number of troops. If we just let the generals lead the army to fight, it would not be possible. Since we are all good at strategy, there is no reason not to successfully block King Youguli."

"Is there any way for Boyue to ask King Youguli to come outside Yunzhong City, and not allow him to attack the Huns in the city inside?" Lu Xun asked.

"The method depends on us to think about it together." Jiang Wei said: "There are not so many places near Yunzhongcheng that can provide our army with the attack on the Huns. The way to think of it is not something that can be done by one person's ability."

"Can you use artillery?" Zhang Shao asked tentatively: "Add to use landmines, first use killing weapons to slap the spirit of the Huns, then the entire army will press forward, and directly take the central army of the Huns, and kill their King Youguli..."

"It is not certain how many soldiers we can use." Jiang Wei said: "The troops of the Xiongnu King Youguli have a lot of people. Even if they use cannons and mines, they are afraid they will not be able to bring much damage to them..."

"General Zhang did not mean to use cannons and mines to bring much damage to the Huns." Lu Xun said: "He wanted to use cannons and mines to disrupt the Xiongs' deployment first. After the Huns became in chaos, our army would all be suppressed, and we would ignore the other Huns. As long as we took the head of the Xiang Shang of King Youguli, we would win this battle."

"If we follow this method, there is really a possibility of success." Jiang Wei nodded with his chin: "It's just that the Xiongnu King Youguli has many troops. If you want to win, you still need to plan the details carefully."

Lu Xun and Zhang Shao responded together: "General Jiang said, please come up with your ideas."
