Chapter 17: He Ru Yishui Dances the Man (continue to pay off the debt in advance)
The most beautiful times in Yishui are late spring and mid-autumn.
However, due to a teacher-student dialogue between Confucius and Zengzi, the late spring in Yishui was beautified by Confucianism to the point of political idealism, so that it was filled with formalized spring outings and bathing, which gave people a sense of restraint.
It feels like...it's the peak of autumn. As the saying goes, the sky and water are blue in the autumn of the river, and the vast smoke waves are hundreds of miles away, which gives it a unique flavor, so people often float on boats to enjoy the autumn.
Of course, these are all appearances.
The reason why Confucius and Zengzi admired late spring, and the reason why later people admired the scenery of mid-autumn, was essentially because the two busy farming seasons of spring plowing and autumn harvest had just passed, and people in agricultural societies finally had a little leisure, and it happened that the weather was not cold at this time.
It's not too hot, so it's perfect for going out and having fun, so you can just take a breath and relax a little.
In other words, Jing Yousheng, Confucius, and Zengzi’s admiration for bathing in the Yishui River in late spring is essentially an admiration for the stable operation of an agricultural society. People’s good mood in the mid-autumn season essentially comes from the sense of security brought by the autumn harvest.
This is all traceable.
So, what if war comes? What if war comes to the Yishui River during this time?
In the sixth year of Jian'an, the Qingxu area suddenly encountered autumn floods during the autumn harvest. It has become an established fact that large-scale production reductions in the entire Qingxu area have become a fact. However, just after this autumn harvest that made everyone worried, the Yishui River Basin did not wait for people to take a breather.
When the opportunity came, a battle involving nearly 100,000 people immediately broke out. The Qingxu tyrants, who originally focused on self-protection and separatist control of Langya, under the leadership of Zang Ba, under the leadership of deputy envoy Guo Jia in Jingantai, Hebei
Driven by the army, 50,000 soldiers and horses were gathered south to Tancheng, and officially participated in the war in the military order of Hebei.
However, Zhou Yu, one of the five frontline commanders of the Central Plains Allied Forces and the youngest head coach of Xuzhou, showed jaw-dropping tactical qualities. He moved the navy into the river and cut off Yi and Shu. It was like a fairy from heaven.
a feeling of.
As soon as 50,000 Langya soldiers moved south, they were trapped and killed in the narrow Yishui River and Shushui River, as if all this was Zhou Gongjin's trap.
"Why are you running, Shima?"
In the early morning, Guo Jia came up from the Yishui River after washing his feet. He first watched five pointed-head ships of the Xuzhou Navy sailing slowly north from the center of the river. Then he stepped on his leather shoes and walked up the slope.
Asking questions in a serious manner.
Behind him, those Xuzhou ships that were monitoring the land camps were further behind. On the other side of the Yishui River to the northwest, Mount Zhuang, dozens of miles away, was looming in the mist.
"I...I..." A tied-up Dongguan officer knelt in front of the slope and watched Guo Jia walking past him, but he kept crying and could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Do you know military law?" Guo Jia sat on the horse on the small slope and sighed slightly.
At this time, the officer became more and more frightened, so much so that his whole body trembled, but he didn't know if things must be reversed at the extreme, but he gritted his teeth and said a complete sentence: "Ambassador Guo, I, I didn't mean to run away, but
Now there are rumors in the army that there is not enough food for three days, and the Yishui River cannot be crossed, and Kaiyang has long been gone, so my subordinates are thinking of returning to Dongguan..."
"What about after returning to Dongguan?" Guo Jia sat down and began to put down his trouser legs.
"Subordinate..."
"Hebei's military law states that deserters will not be killed without mercy, and officers will have to force their subordinates to commit suicide. Do you know?" Guo Fengxiao finally looked at the other party. "You are the commander of Qianshibububu whom I appointed. Do you know that you can escape like this?"
How many people will be involved?"
This officer, who was the patrol officer in front of the Changxi camp that day, was later appointed as the Sima of another department to stabilize the situation. The old Sima of Changxi, who was called Sima Ju, was finally unable to say a word and could only say:
While shaking like chaff, he kowtowed repeatedly.
Guo Jia's heart was as solid as stone, and he just raised his hand casually. Naturally, a soldier came forward and easily killed the man with a knife, and cut off his head, preparing to show it to the public.
"Don't be in a hurry to show off to the public." Just when the soldiers were about to return to the camp, Guo Fengxiao suddenly spoke again. "Today, all the seventy-three deserters will stay here for the time being. Let's see if there is any movement from Mr. Zang's side. If so,
Once the military order comes down, I will show off again to serve as a deterrent!"
The soldier is a reliable person who followed Guo Fengxiao from Qingzhou, and he will naturally take orders after hearing the words.
Xu Yuanzhi, who had been standing with his sword on the side, frowned and said: "Fengxiao, at this time the battalions are barely supporting themselves, what other military orders can there be? Does Zang Ba still dare to order the withdrawal of troops and the relocation of camps? Isn't it what you said yesterday?
Really? With the current military morale, once the camp is no longer protected, the whole army will probably collapse, right?"
"But now there is really no other way." Guo Jiali stood on the slope, looking at the Langya Army camp that stretched for seven or eight miles in front of him, from Yishui River to the foot of Tancheng City. It looked spectacular before, but now it has faintly lost control.
, couldn't help but shook his head repeatedly. "I still think highly of the Langya soldiers. If they don't take action, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny tonight. By then, the 50,000-strong army will be dispersed overnight, and we are afraid that we will be in the chaos."
There is no guarantee. Besides, I didn’t say I was going to retreat..."
Xu Shu thought for a while, but suddenly realized: "There is no way to retreat, and there is no way to continue to station here, so we can only do the opposite and take extraordinary measures... Are you planning to instigate an attack on the city to tire out the soldiers? Last night
I should have mentioned this matter when I went to Zang Ba's camp."
"Not bad." Guo Jia turned around and smiled at Xu Shu. "Yuan Zhi is becoming more and more transparent."
"Can it be done?" Although Xu Shu guessed Guo Jia's thoughts, he still shook his head for a while. "Before, when I saw the Yishui River with boats heading north, the morale of the army was already weakened. Even the camp in the east of the city was abandoned. Now it has reached this point.
If you go and instigate an attack on the city, you might not be able to move at all, right?"
"As for the matter, one day's energy consumption is one day, why not give it a try?" Guo Fengxiao didn't care. "Furthermore, whether this matter can be promoted has nothing to do with me. It mainly depends on Zang Xuangao's prestige among the Langya generals...
…”
"That's true." Xu Shu couldn't help but sneer. "But why don't you go and encourage it yourself and cooperate?"
"As for the morale of the military..." Guo Jia couldn't help but sneered. "If I go to attend a military meeting and go alone, I'm afraid I'll be beaten first; if I go there with soldiers, I'm afraid I won't immediately trigger his camp.
Be vigilant and cause a mutiny before night! Why should Yuan Zhi laugh at me?"
Xu Shu laughed again: "This is even more true!"
"What do you think about the current situation?"
After a while, Zang Ba, who was standing on a high slope in his camp, watched the whole camp and then turned back to face the enemy.
Behind him stood the Langya generals.
"Brother!" Yin Li gasped and held up his knife. "What's there to say now? Guo Fengxiao obviously tricked us... It's been three days, there's no news about Kaiyang, food.
But there were only three days left, and the deserters couldn't stop being caught, hung, and beaten! Let me tell you, although Guan Yunchang is a loyal man, he is probably being entangled by Xiahou Dun in the west at this time! I'm afraid he won't make it!"
"If you ask me, that Guan Yunchang may not be a truly loyal person. He may not be the governor of Zhou who opened Yangji very fast. But after Guan Yunchang saw that Kaiyang was captured, he was worried about being blocked at the west end of Mount Tai, so he simply fled back to Qingzhou early.
"Yeah..." Wu Dun couldn't help but interject.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Zang Ba interrupted the other party expressionlessly. "Can't you hear what I'm asking you? I'm asking you how to act, not asking you to talk endlessly!"
The generals exchanged glances with each other, but no longer made any preparations. Yin Li stepped forward and saluted: "Brother, we all thought..."
"You all think that?"
"Last night, Lao Sun asked us to go and talk to him in his camp." Yin Li hesitated and couldn't help but be cautious. "Everyone feels that we can't waste our time here! Why not kill Guo Jia and give it to him?
Governor Zhou, surrender on the spot... Cao Liu is short of troops, we will not be abandoned!"
Zang Ba still had no expression on his face, but he glanced at Sun Guan, making him panic for a moment.
"Brother!" Sun Guan's brother, Sun Kang, who was also one of Qingxu's tyrants, looked bad and quickly interrupted. "Brother, if you feel that you still have loyalty to Guan Zhendong, then just ignore Guo Jia.
Let him fend for himself here, or go one step further, and after he is surrendered to the position of Governor of Zhou, we can jointly act as guarantee and send him back to Qingzhou as a gift..."
Zang Ba remained expressionless and didn't say a word. He just sat down on the slope and then disarmed himself!
The Langya generals were stunned, but they didn't understand its meaning.
In the end, Yin Li couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward again and asked: "Brother, what do you mean?"
"No one else." Zang Ba threw down his armor and sword, and sat on the slope with only his middle coat, raising his head to face the generals. "Don't you want to rebel and surrender to the enemy? I am the commander-in-chief of the army, so naturally I want to kill you at your neck.
Come on, I'm right here, you come and kill me!"
Yin Li and Sun Guan took the lead, and the generals' expressions changed greatly and they all knelt down.
And after Yin Li lowered his head and kowtowed, when he raised his head again, he was in tears: "Brother, don't be joking. Without you, all the brothers here would have died long ago. We are just..."
"I don't want to listen to what you are waiting for. I only know that I made up my mind before going on this expedition. Therefore, no matter how critical the situation is, I cannot surrender. The worst I can do is die!" Zang Ba said simply.
"Brother..." Sun Guan also kowtowed and wanted to speak.
"Since General Sun has already prepared to surrender to the south, we are enemies rather than friends. How can we talk about big brothers?"
"Brother!" Sun Guan kowtowed again. "We are really doing it for the good of our brothers, how dare we harm you?!"
"This is not what you said." Zang Ba remained calm and calmly responded. "You think surrendering is for the good of your brothers, but I don't think it's good! And I think staying in Hebei to be loyal,
This is really for the sake of you brothers! Anyway, I won’t surrender to the south, and if you surrender, no matter who you are, you will become an enemy. If you don’t kill me, I will kill yours.”
As soon as these words were spoken, soldiers from Zang Ba's headquarters suddenly poured out, and hundreds of people directly surrounded Sun Guan and Yin Li generals in Zang Ba's camp.
All the generals were stunned and could only kowtow to the ground again. Among them, Yin Li, who was closest to Zang Ba, was almost helpless: "Brother, why is this happening? My life was given by your eldest brother. If you don't want to surrender, I will follow you.
At worst, like when we were bandits in Mount Tai, the whole army is really defeated, and we hide among the defeated soldiers and escape back. But no matter what, I will not fight with you, brother!"
Now that Yin Li had spoken, Zang Ba slowly nodded.
Sun Guan was also helpless: "Brother, I want to surrender to the south. Firstly, the situation is critical now; secondly, because of the kindness of Meng Tao in taking Xuzhou in, I have some good feelings and loyalty towards everyone in Xuzhou, so I feel that I should follow the trend and follow Liu Yuzhou. But.
In any case, when it comes to loyalty, nothing can compare to the loyalty of you and my brother. If you are so determined, then I will just stay here with you. Isn’t it just a life? If you are really defeated, the worst is to leave it here! I, Sun Guan, will not hesitate to die.
!”
Since Sun Guan and Yin Li were forced to change their minds by Zang Ba, the other generals could only bite the bullet and swear that they would follow Brother Zang here to the end... Anyway, don't look at one life or death.
, everyone is a thief. If the whole army really collapses, the worst thing is to be as practical as Yin Li said, just hide in the collapse of the army and escape back. Why bother to start a movie with Boss Zang at this time for such a thing?
Woolen cloth?
Moreover, as far as the situation in the camp is concerned, it is impossible to say that there will be a mutiny tonight, but it is impossible to say that they will run away tonight!
"The army is not stable, and there may be a mutiny tonight. I have made up my mind, so why not do the opposite and attack the city immediately! Maybe the morale of the army can be a little more stable." Zang Ba continued.
At this time, the generals were even more numb. Yin Li, Sun Guan, and Sun Kang could not speak anymore. Wu Dun was really helpless and could only speak: "Brother, I know you want to use offense as defense to maintain the morale of the army.
, but with the current situation in the camp, how can we still persuade the soldiers to move forward?"
"Then it's not my business, it's my business. Please do it!" Zang Ba disagreed. "My business is to convince you, and it's already been done. Why can't you convince them?"
The generals wanted to complain, but unexpectedly, Zang Ba began to scold him directly while starting to wear his armor:
"I don't want you to talk about any difficulties. I just want to attack from three sides in the morning, set up the ladder again, hit the wood, and attack the city together!"
Wu Dun and others looked at each other in shock, but they were so suppressed by Zang Ba that they could not resist, so they had no choice but to agree, and then went back to the camp to show off their abilities.
Some people, like Brother Sun Guan, usually run the army very strictly, so they closed the camp gate, sang a harmony, found out those who were noisy and wanted to leave, cut off their heads and hung them on the camp gate, and gave out rewards to appease people's hearts;
There are also people like Yin Li who are easy-going with the soldiers, so they talk sincerely and bring out their friendship for more than ten years to make an agreement with the officers and ask them to persuade the soldiers below;
There are also people like Xiao Jian who are incompetent, but they can temporarily deceive the soldiers, saying that this battle is a feint attack, wait for two days of continuous attack, and immediately take advantage of the city's unpreparedness to cross the Shu River to the east and return home.
You can easily go back to Haiqu, and once you return to Haiqu, you will have countless seafood that you can eat endlessly... Some people actually believe it;
There are even people like Wu Dun who want to kill people but don’t have the determination, want to deceive people but don’t have the eloquence, and want to be loyal but no one believes him, which leads to a mutiny on the spot, and then forces Zang Ba to personally lead the soldiers over, directly.
To suppress it, we reluctantly sent out troops!
When the Xuzhou Navy, who was responsible for monitoring the Langya soldiers in the Yishui River, saw this, they flew downstream, and then hoisted a flag to alert the people on the city... In fact, this was unnecessary. You must know that Tancheng is located in the Yishui River, Shu
Between the water and the two rivers, it is only a few miles away. How big is the camp of 40,000 to 50,000 Langya soldiers? There was movement below the city, which alerted the Zhou governor in the city.
In other words, Governor Zhou, with his feather fan and silk scarf and the attitude of a Confucian general, has already been standing on the tower in the northwest corner of the city, looking at the Langya Army camp below the city all morning!
But unexpectedly, looking at the apparently struggling Langya camp, Governor Zhou, who had the upper hand, could not help but gradually become uneasy. This was in sharp contrast to Guo Fengxiao, who was washing people's feet while killing people.
It has to be said that Zhou Yu's sense of smell on the battlefield is still very good, which is a kind of talent... The first thing that made him uneasy was none other than the return of Sun Guan, who had colluded with him in the Langya camp outside the city three days ago.
The message said that Guan Yunchang could send support to Kaiyang at any time!
This is of course reasonable and must be guarded against, so Zhou Gongjin immediately ordered the main force of the navy to be careful to guard against the enemy forces in the direction of Wushui in the west after taking Kaiyang City.
However, at this time, Zhou Yu vaguely sensed a hint of conspiracy, because the method of obtaining information described by Sun Guan was somewhat familiar to him - when his friend Jiang Gan came to visit him that day, Zhou Gongjin, just in case
, so he forged a letter of surrender from Changxi and Xuzhou, in order to use as many channels as possible to promote the Qingzhou side to rectify the Langya generals and facilitate the southward movement in addition to rumors.
Of course, Jiang Qian was so elegant and did not look at those things during the whole process, which made Zhou Yu feel quite ashamed, so much so that he still misses Jiang Qian... But in any case, this method is so similar that Zhou Yu immediately
He became wary of Guo Fengxiao, who he originally regarded as the person in his palm.
Only, vigilance turns to vigilance, worry turns to worry, Zhou Gongjin really can’t figure out where the possible flaw is!
Kaiyang is bait?
But the strategic goal this time is Kaiyang, a strategically important military territory, and it is impossible not to attack it. With Kaiyang in hand, it will not only pose a threat to Qingzhou, but also suppress Guan Yu on the west side of Mount Tai, greatly easing the pressure on Xiahou Dun, and it is impossible to say that he can't
He and Xiahou Dun attacked from both sides, and it was impossible to defeat Guan Yu!
Do the 50,000 Langya soldiers in front of us still have the strength to counterattack?
It's impossible! The rivers are locked on both sides, and Tancheng's fortified city is blocked by heavy troops. The 50,000-strong army is running out of food, so they just wait for the enemy to collapse.
In fact, according to Zhou Yu's observation and Sun Guan's report, Langya Bing can indeed not hold on any longer!
However, now the second doubt comes again. It is clear that they can no longer hold on, and they are clearly about to collapse, but why do Zang Xuangao and Guo Fengxiao still hold on? What gives them the confidence? Or what are they covering for?!
But the entire battlefield is under his perfect control?!
A long and narrow battlefield, with Yishui on the left and Shushui on the right, from top to bottom, starting from Sun Guan's Ju County, Kaiyang, Qiu, to Tancheng at his feet, it was really perfectly controlled!
At noon, Zhou Yu held the feather fan in his hand and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked coldly at the Langya army that was dispersing like a joke. However, he gradually frowned amidst the cheers of the soldiers at the top of the city... His intuition on the battlefield told him that he must be
I'm missing something key, but I can't figure out what it is?!
There was an autumn wind blowing from the direction of Yishui, bringing the smell of blood and clear water. This was a sign of a change in the direction of the wind. But Zhou Gongjin had expected it, but he didn't care... He took a long breath, and then began to close his eyes.
So, take stock of the uncertain factors outside the battlefield in your mind:
First of all, it must not be Shenpei. If he does not have reinforcements, he will definitely try his best to protect Qingzhou at this time. Even if he has reinforcements and uses the autumn harvest as the boundary, he will not have time to go south!
Secondly, it should not be the Qingzhou Navy going south... Although the Qingzhou Navy going south may block the mouth of the Huaihe River and may capture several coastal cities along the way, there is no need to worry about it because they cannot intervene in the current battlefield in time.
Unless they can fly, they can fly thousands of miles in one breath, all the way to Xiapi, or Tancheng at their feet.
Then... there is only Guan Yu. Just as Kaiyang falls into his hands, it will pose a great threat to Guan Yu. Before solving Zang Ba, Guan Yu also poses a great threat to Kaiyang. This should be the only reasonable one.
, Hebei's idea of reversing this battle.
But the problem is that he has made precautionary preparations against Guan Yu in Kaiyang, but the opponent shows no sign of appearing on the Yishui battlefield!
So things come back again, Zhou Yu still can't think of anything that can threaten his success in this battle! In two or three days at most, Langya's army will completely collapse. By then, he will wipe out Langya's 50,000 troops, advance the battle line to Kaiyang, and then fight with
Xiahou Dun united in the Wushui area and forced Guan Yu to retreat, winning a great victory for the Eastern Front!
The names of Liu Yuzhou and Zhou Gongjin will also be engraved in the minds of people all over the world!
However, after sighing and looking at the Langya soldiers who were encouraged to attack the city again in the afternoon, Zhou Yu couldn't help but become more and more anxious.
"Hao Duwei sent his troops down to Xiapi?" At the same time, at the pass of Geyi Mountain in the west of Xiapi City, the wide Yishui Floating Bridge welcomed another large team of civilians. Of course, Cao Bao, the general in charge of this place, would not inspect it personally.
It was just a military commander surnamed Zhang who came down from the mountain camp to conduct an inspection. "With so many civilians, why haven't we contacted them before?"
"I've seen Brother Zhang!" Qianshi Sima of Haopu's Ministry, who was responsible for escorting the civilian husband, answered seriously with an extremely standard Taishan accent. "That's right, the military order was issued by the Zhou Governor of Tancheng, and the navy directly came from
The water from Yishui was sent to our country of Zhuang. You should also know that there is no fighting in the country of Zhuang. However, there are already 40,000 to 50,000 enemy troops gathered in Tancheng. We Captain Hao did not dare to neglect and immediately recruited all the troops.
The county citizen traveled under the stars and night to get here in three days, for fear of being delayed! You see, they are all very strong..."
The Army Sima who was in charge of inspecting the documents nodded repeatedly and did not listen carefully at all: "Hao Duwei's seal is correct. There is a war on the front line. The more civilians the better, thank you for your hard work..."
"We also brought a lot of ordnance!" Sima Haopu's subordinate quickly interjected again as if to show his merit. "We, the captain, heard that the war in Tancheng was tense, so we specially took thousands of spears and Huanshou swords from the arsenal of the state of Zang.
, there are also hundreds of war hammers, as well as some leather armor, iron armor... It's a pity that there are no golden drums."
Zhang Sima, who belonged to Cao Bao, nodded perfunctorily again: "It can be seen that Captain Hao has really tried his best. If we win this battle, Governor Zhou will definitely be rewarded in the future."
At this point, the person probably disliked the other party's nagging, but he directly handed the document back to the other party and simply let him go: "After passing the pontoon bridge, turn around the pass, don't stay at the bottom of the mountain, that is the military camp, go to the camp south of the city to settle down...
This man is so big and has such a long beard, why not join the army?"
Sima Haopu was relaxed for a moment, but then sneered nervously: "This is a native of our country, and he was originally going to be persuaded by me to join the army. However, this year's autumn harvest was not enough, and he still has three or four children at home, so he did not dare to join the army."
, just because he was tall, he made him a leader of the people."
Sima Zhang also sighed for a moment: "Isn't the autumn harvest in your Taishan place bad? Forget it, go over quickly!"
"It's really not good." Haopu's Sima was relieved when he heard this, but he couldn't help but follow someone's eyes and ask again. "I dare to ask my brother, who is in charge of the city now? I will finish the resettlement in the south of the city later.
When you become a civilian husband, who can you turn to when you enter the city to hand over your weapons and weapons, and who can you turn to to take orders?"
Cao Bao's subordinates finally looked at the other party seriously, but they didn't mean to be perfunctory. Instead, they whispered a few words: "Xiapi is the prefecture of Xuzhou, a hub on the east line, and the situation is complicated... There are many people in the city who can make the decision, such as
Governor Chen, Chen Zhi, Cao Zhi, Chen Xiaowei, and Lord Mi are all in the city, and we, General Cao, are also in charge outside the city. After you enter the city, if you don't want to get into trouble, go to see Governor Chen. If you want to follow the rules, go and find him.
Lieutenant Chen, if you want to seek convenience, you might as well go find Cao Cao!"
"I know Governor Chen, Colonel Chen and his son, and I also know that Cao Zongzong is the uncle of General Cao's family, as well as Lord Mi Fu, and Lieutenant Mi Du, not to mention, who among us Xuzhou people doesn't know... But there is another
What is the role of Chen Zhi?" The officer from the country became more and more curious.
The goodwill that Cao Bao's subordinates had just aroused suddenly disappeared, but they were too lazy to pay attention to this country bumpkin: "Of course it is Chen Changwen who is responsible for it! He is from Huainan and is responsible for supervising Xuzhou!"
Sima Haopu, who was guarding the civilian husband, suddenly realized it and almost blurted out: "It's the winter snake on the card! There are actually four cards in one city?!"
Cao Bao's subordinates just pretended not to hear and went up the mountain with their hands behind their backs.
As soon as the other party left, the Sima of Haopu's tribe turned around and looked at the tall civilian village chief next to him. He no longer hesitated and drove thousands of civilians in white, loaded with ordnance, across the upper reaches in an extremely easy way.
Zang Bajun regarded the Yishui River as a natural moat, and then majestically crossed the Geyi Mountain Pass, a defensive fortress outside Xiapi City, and finally calmly settled in the camp in the south of the city.
After a moment, the Sima of the Haopu tribe, a local Taishan general under Guan Yu, a smart officer named Kong Xiu, brought another song of "Haopu tribe" soldiers and horses, and the "people's men" of the four villages, pressing down.
More than a dozen carts of ordnance, armor and food and other things, holding Hao Pu's documents, went to the city to find the "Colonel Chen Yuanlong" who was responsible for the deployment of civilians and paid the supplies.
The city gate guards saw with their own eyes that the weapons, armor, and rations were of the correct quality, as well as the official scriptures. In addition, the triple city wall of Xiapi, and the outer wall did not restrict the small group of troops. They had nothing to say, so they just let them go.
Seeing that Kong Xiu successfully entered the city, Guan Yunchang was not in a hurry. Instead, he was still wearing white clothes and straw sandals, lighting fires, boiling water, eating and soaking his feet in the camp, just like the civilians in the surrounding camps when they arrived on the first day.
But when the sky completely darkened, thousands of civilians in Guan Yunchang's camp, who had finished their rest and had a good meal, put on their armor and leather shoes with excellent toughness, picked up their spears and daggers, and suddenly made a big attack in the south.
Set fire to the camp!
A fire broke out in the south of the city. Mi Fang, the prefect of Xiapi and directly responsible for the defense of Xiapi, thought at first that the civilians had accidentally escaped from the water, so he directly ordered the south gate to be opened to let the soldiers go out to put out the fire... Poor Kong Xiu waited in the city until dark.
He had just finished dressing up and was preparing to fight a bloody battle to seize the city gate to repay Guan Yu for his kindness. However, he almost didn't fight with any force and directly occupied the southern gate tower of Xiapi City, which is the famous White Gate Tower!
After occupying the city tower, someone gave him an order to maintain order in the Baimen Tower and to keep the city gate open!
Kong Xiu was dumbfounded. He stood on the White Gate Tower and watched the fire outside the city getting bigger and bigger. Then he watched countless torches connected into a sea of fire like that night. The sea of fire turned into a fire dragon, and along with the noise and noise,
, directly passed through the south gate of Xiapi City under his feet, and headed towards the chaotic inner city of Xiapi.
What made Kong Xiu even more weird was that he had done nothing, but when his own General Guan, who was fully clothed, flying the flag of General Zhendong and majestic, passed by the city gate, he actually praised himself for being so clever!
In the sixth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, during the fierce battle in Guandu, Guan Yunchang, the general of Zhendong, went south in white clothes and made a surprise attack on Xiapi. Xiapi City, which was protected by triple walls but did not have many troops at all, fell almost immediately. The governor of Xuzhou
Chen Gui (Winter Monkey Card), Field Colonel Chen Deng (Autumn Rabbit Card), Xiapi Prefect Mi Fang, Chen Qun (Winter Snake Card) who worked in the Zuo General Mansion and oversaw the logistics of the Eastern Front, and Cao Hong, within an hour
Along with the inner city of Xiapi City, they all surrendered without mercy.
After another half an hour, Cao Bao, the autumn rat who was listed on the wanted animal card, abandoned the dangerous Geyi Mountain, took only a few soldiers and horses, took some gold beads from his manor outside the city, and fled in a hurry. As a result,
On the way, his subordinate Sima Zhang Kai killed people and robbed him of goods... and Zhang Kai, a former Yellow Turban general, has disappeared since then.
So far, Xiapi, the eastern base camp of the Central Plains Allied Forces under the rule of Xuzhou Prefecture, has completely fallen, and the mouths of Yishui River and Shushui River have all fallen into Guan Yu's hands.
At this time, Xiahou Dun was still hesitant about Pan Zhang's another active attack... because he was worried that the hasty rescue would be eaten by Guan Yu behind Pan Zhang, and the Cao army's frontline general did not even know that at this time, east of Yishui
What happened! The war in Tancheng broke out only seven days ago! The naval army locked up Yishui for only three and a half days!
As for Zhou Gongjin, who still stands at the top of Tancheng with his feather fan and turban, he still hasn’t figured out where his possible threats come from? To be fair, it’s not his fault, because this young scholar at his weakest age is really in front of him.
The local battlefield achieved perfection in a certain sense.
However, the autumn wind was blowing and the temperature was suitable. Because he was forced to attack the city for one day during the day, and was too tired to rebel at the Langya Army camp, Guo Fengxiao, who was theoretically in dire straits, actually went to the Yishui River to take a bath again.
He took a bath, and even recited "The Analects of Confucius" on the way home under Xu Yuanzhi's strange eyes:
"In late spring, the spring clothes are ready, five or six people are crowned, and six or seven boys are bathing in Yi, with the wind blowing and dancing, and they return home chanting."
