After meeting Yu Du, after negotiations, Yu Du led his more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans to Pingyang City to join Yang Tao's troops. Due to the large number of two units and in order to facilitate operations in the future, Yang Tao and Yu Du discussed and re-arranged them and removed Gao Shun's troops stationed outside the west of Pingyang City. Because Du led more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans to guard the west, the removed Gao Shun troops merged into Yang Tao's subordinates. After gathering more than 100,000 Yellow Turban players who were originally surrounded near Pingyang City, and following Yu Du and then constantly coming to the nearby players, a total of more than 200,000 were arranged in the east of the city.

Such a large-scale arrangement and mobilization took quite a while to encircle Pingyang City on three sides again. However, unlike before, the Yellow Turban forces outside the city expanded several times. Yu Du and the players combined had 500,000 people, plus Yang Tao and Sima Ying's more than 300,000 people, and the number of Yellow Turbans outside the city reached 800,000. Although the strength was uneven, it was enough to implement the plan.

At this time, in Pingyang City, except for the remaining more than 20,000 battalions of soldiers, there were 20,000 to 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers mobilized by Ju Yi from nearby villages and towns, as well as tens of thousands of players from the Eastern Han camp in the city, with a total of just over 100,000. Among these people, except for the strong combat power of the 20,000 battalions, the rest of the soldiers were not stronger than the Yellow Turban Army outside the city. At this time, facing the 800,000 Yellow Turban Army outside the city, Ju Yi was no longer so calm.

Fortunately, when there are more than 10,000 enemy troops in the territory, the city will be in a state of war and the teleportation array cannot be used. At this time, the two cities of Pingyang City and Yecheng are in a state of war, and the teleportation is closed. Otherwise, even if there is a daily teleportation limit, the accumulated players will be very considerable, which is a very headache for Yang Tao and others.

Yang Tao learned that Ju Yi was asking for help from Yecheng. Seeing that Sima Ying's plan had entered the second step, he was now just one last step away from launching an attack.

Just tonight, a middle-aged man came to Yang Tao's camp. Gu Yu, the butler of the Kan family in Pingyang City. After meeting Kan Jun, he came to meet Yang Tao and said, "I'm here to discuss with Mr. Qu to open the city gate for everyone."

Seeing that this person was so direct, Yang Tao stopped beating around the bush. He looked at Gu Yu and said, "It takes a proper time to open the city gate, and we need to set the time."

"After seeing the young master, my little man already knew, and my master had specially explained everything to the coach Qu before the villain left."

"Well, that's good, except for this. What are the conditions for the Kan family?" Yang Tao was a little surprised that Gu Yu could agree so readily that they would decide the time. He couldn't help but say again. It was just a polite person, but he didn't expect that the Kan family really had the conditions.

Gu Yu said: "Ship Qu, my master has a condition, that is, although my Kan family will help Qu Shuai open the city gate, he will not join the Yellow Turban Party. After Qu Shuai captures Pingyang City, he will not be allowed to harass my Kan family. Of course, if Qu Shuai has any difficulties, my Kan family will secretly support Qu Shuai."

After hearing the conditions mentioned by Gu Yu, Yang Tao frowned. This was the rhythm of being a thief and having to set up a archway, which made Yang Tao feel a little displeased. However, Yang Tao also knew that the ideas of these aristocratic families were probably not involved with the Yellow Turbans. Now it was time to need them, so Yang Tao agreed, but when he agreed, he added a sentence in his heart, but his troops would not embarrass the family. As for other Yellow Turbans, it was nothing to do with him.

After the negotiations with Gu Yu, Yang Tao sent him away.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for news from Yecheng, but no news came from Yecheng for several days. This extremely abnormal situation made Yang Tao feel a little nervous. I don’t know if something went wrong or whether Sima Ying’s plan was discovered by Zhang Ze, the governor of Wei County.

One day on a sunny day, Yang Tao and Sima Ying stood on a slope and looked at the endless Yellow Turban Camp in front of them, feeling a little moved, and only heard Yang Tao say, "Brother Sima, are we doing too much? In the days of waiting for news in Yecheng, the Yellow Turban people have increased to 900,000. Will the Wei County Magistrate be afraid and there is no movement?"

"Zhang Ze, the governor of Wei County, would not be scared by these 'paper tigers' in front of him. Although there are 900,000 Yellow Turbans here, which sounds quite scary, but there is not much real material. Not only do you and I know, Zhang Ze has suppressed rebellions several times, how can he not know the background of the Yellow Turban Army? It is just a group of people who rebel with farm tools, with limited combat power. He has not come these days, so he must have gone to prepare the troops." Sima Ying disagreed with Yang Tao's concerns and was sure that Zhang Ze would come.

"That's right, but the Wei County official army is only this. Where can Zhang Ze send troops from? Can he still go to other counties to request reinforcements? When will he wait?" Yang Tao was not as calm as Sima Ying. If he delayed like this, he was afraid that he would wait for Lu Zhi before Zhang Ze sent troops. That would be a complete tragedy.

"Hahaha, Brother Yang has forgotten the powerful men of the scholars in Yecheng?" Sima Ying said with a smile.

"The powerful man in the scholar family?"

"The powerful men of the Shi family have private soldiers, ranging from hundreds to thousands. With the prosperity of Wei County, there must be many aristocratic families. Although the private soldiers of those aristocratic families are not as good as county soldiers, they are much stronger than the Yellow Turbans in front of us. Although the ranks of the soldiers are not too high, they have good equipment at least, at least they have basic swords, guns, swords and halberds. Unlike the various branches used by the Yellow Turbans, they even use farm tools for farming. My Yellow Turbans and yours are pretty good. With many soldiers and armor I robbed before, we barely let our soldiers have a combat equipment. Although most of them are ordinary-level, it is already good. Others are shabby. I think Zhang Ze was convincing those aristocratic families to send troops and food at this time?"

Sima Ying expressed the guess in his heart, which made Yang Tao understand a little. He thought of the nature of the aristocratic families and couldn't help but wonder: "Will those aristocratic families send troops to feed?"

"I don't know, but I think Zhang Ze should be able to do it. Well, we should not worry about whether Zhang Ze will come, but about whether he will come. What should we do?" Sima Ying suddenly said hesitantly, glanced at Yang Tao, as if he was worried that they would be unable to deal with it after Zhang Ze came.

Hearing his words, Yang Tao thought Sima Ying was worried about attacking Yecheng, so he couldn't help saying: "It's really a bit uneasy to let Yu Du take his more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans to attack Yecheng. Although Ma Yuanyi and others responded, Zhang would definitely leave enough people to defend the city. It would be difficult to win it. Why don't Yu Du add some people?"

"Brother Yang, don't underestimate Yu Du and Ma Yuanyi. They can't deal with Zhang Ze and Ju Yi, but it is still very likely to take down Yecheng without these two people. What I am worried about is that Zhang Ze and Pan Feng will definitely come here. In addition to Ju Yi in Pingyang City, there will be three famous generals and famous scholars. There is only one Gao Shun here, and it may be a hard battle at that time!"

"Are you worried that we can't handle it?" Yang Tao looked at Sima Ying's heavy face, and it seemed that there would be a difficult battle to fight next, and his face tightened.

"Well, especially Brother Yang, you are facing Zhang Ze, a person we are not very familiar with. We know too little about him, and I'm afraid there will be something wrong, so I'm going to borrow one of my trump card to use, but it's not easy to build my trump card, so you have to save some use!"

"What trump card makes you so cautious?"

"You will know later, but if you feel embarrassed, you will lend me Gao Shun to use it. What I have to face is Ju Yi, a second-rate historical general. Gao Shun will be safer."

"good!"
