Wei Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you asking me to move to the land of the three counties, sweeping through the counties of the three counties with lightning speed, and putting half of the people in Qingzhou in danger?" ”

"Nope! On the contrary, I mean that every time you go to a county, you will leave ten soldiers to assist the local county commander and county lieutenant in erecting the banner of our Yan army. You finally captured Linzi City, and you were stationed there to block Liu Bei and others from pouring into Qi County from Beihai, and I led the army behind you, and I will send soldiers to take over the counties you have captured. Zang Ba said loudly.

Wei Yan glanced at Zang Ba and asked, "What is the reason why you can't do it, but you give it to me?" ”

Zang Ba said with a smile: "I just came here, and I will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future, not to mention that I can see that the lord sent you here to give you a chance to hone his skills, since the lord means this, why should I go against the lord's will?" ”

After Wei Yan heard this, he really had to admire Zang Ba in his heart, he bowed deeply to Zang Ba, hugged his fists and said, "General Zang, please accept Wei Yan's worship." ”

Zang Ba was about to bend down and bow when he saw Wei Yan, and hurriedly stretched out his arm to support Wei Yan's arms, and said with a smile: "It's all about serving the lord, don't be too polite, besides, I just came, the lord has used me so much, he already looks up to me, I am already satisfied, this merit is what you should get, brother, you can accept it gladly." ”

At this time, Guo Ying and Chen Shi, two generals, came over, hugged their fists towards Zang Ba and said, "See the general!" ”

Zang Ba let go of Wei Yan, put his hands behind his back, and asked with a righteous face, "Are you all ready?" ”

Guo Ying and Chen Shi said in unison: "It's all ready, but listen to the general's orders." ”

Zang Ba nodded with satisfaction, looked at the two generals who had surrendered from Gongsun Zhan, and said loudly: "From now on." The two of you will follow General Wei to your left and right, and lead your subordinates to follow this General Wei as the vanguard of the front. ”

"No!"

Wei Yan was suddenly a little moved, he was also a man of temperament, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "General Zang, without further ado, then I will leave first!" ”

Zang Ba nodded. He arched his hand and said: "General Wei, after arriving at Linzi City, please be sure to guard the main road, I expect that Liu Bei's group of people will inevitably enter Qi County from Beihai and want to occupy Linzi City." ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Don't worry, if Liu Bei dares to come, I will let him come and not return." ”

Zang Ba smiled: "General Wei take care all the way!" ”

"Take care!" Wei Yan said briefly.

As soon as the words fell, Wei Yan took Guo Ying and Chen Shier to the riverbank, and saw many boats placed on the riverbank. Two thousand cavalrymen were boarding the ship one after another, so he said to Guo Ying and Chen Shi: "The two of you have been commanding cavalry? ”

Chen Shidao: "Yes, although our two brothers are generals, General Zang not only did not look down on us, but let us command the cavalry, General Zang is really a rare good general." ”

Guo Ying said: "General Zang is not thin on me, even more generous than his subordinates, if we and the other two do not repay General Zang with death." How can you be worthy of General Zang. ”

After Wei Yan heard this, he immediately thought that Zang Ba had become a handsome man in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. After hearing the words of Chen Shi and Guo Ying at this time, he felt that Zang Ba was worthy of being a hero, and he deeply admired Zang Ba. He sighed and said to himself: "The lord is really well-intentioned, let me come to Zang Ba, in fact, it is not for me to make meritorious contributions." It's for me to learn. General Zang Bazhen, no wonder the lord is so relieved of him, I must surpass him in the future. ”

Subsequently, Wei Yan led Chen Shi and Guo Ying to board the ship first, and drifted to the south bank on the boat with the two thousand cavalry who had already boarded the ship.

Wei Yan stood on the bow of the boat. Looking at the boiling water of the Yellow River and the Yellow River beach on the south bank, he secretly thought in his heart: "On the trip to Qingzhou, I must show myself well, let others look at me differently, and I also want to become a general who can lead the army to fight alone in the eyes of the lord." ”

……

At the same time, outside Yecheng, Lu Bu suffered a small loss yesterday, and did not dare to rashly attack Yecheng again, but obediently waited in the camp.

When he returned from the north gate yesterday, he heard that Yuan Xi and Wen Chou had talked across the moat, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart, he didn't want to ask too much, but he didn't know why, he was always worried that Wen Chou would leave him, and after waking up, he couldn't sit still.

"Someone! Go and call Wen Chou in! Lu Brown shouted loudly outside the tent.

Not long after, Wen Chou entered the camp tent, and as soon as he entered the big tent in armor, he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will see the lord!" ”

Lu Budao: "I have appointed you as my deputy general, the whole army must obey your orders, except for me and Chen Gong, you are second to none in my Jin army, even the positions of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who have followed me for a long time, are under you, I value you so much, is it still a last general in your eyes?" ”

Wen Chou hurriedly said: "The end ...... The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates are blessed with the love of the lord, the lord is very kind to his subordinates, and his subordinates will never give up. ”

Lu Bu let out a "hmm" and said lightly: "I heard that when I led the army to attack the north gate yesterday, Yuan Xi and you spoke alone?" ”

Wen Chou nodded and replied very cheerfully, "This is indeed the case." ”

"I heard you talked for half an hour?"

"Exactly!"

"What can we talk about for so long? You don't want to cut off my head and sacrifice it to Yuan Xi, right? ”

Wen Chou frowned, hurriedly knelt on the ground, felt the sharp look in Lu Bu's eyes, and hurriedly said, "My subordinates don't dare...... Subordinates dare not ...... The subordinates just chatted with Yuan Xi briefly, and Yuan Xi persuaded his subordinates to assist him again, but the subordinates did not agree. ”

"Did you know that our army had never surrendered anyone before they met you?"

Wen Chou said: "My subordinates have heard General Zhang talk about ......"

Lu Bu slowly stood up, looked at Wen Chou, and said loudly: "I think your martial arts are good, and they are unique in the world, so I want to give you a good opportunity to show it, if you dare to betray me in the future, I will let you die without a place to be buried." ”

Wen Chou said: "My subordinates don't dare." Since the subordinates have chosen to surrender to the lord, they will not rebel again, and the subordinates are also convinced by the lord......"

Lu Bu raised his hand and said, "You get up, prepare well, and the military division will arrive tomorrow." I'm going to introduce you to the military advisor, so go down and rest. ”

Wen Chou let out a sigh of relief, sweat broke out on his forehead, and after a "promise", he withdrew from the camp.

Out of the camp tent, Wen Chou wiped his forehead, and secretly thought in his heart: "Lu Bu is unparalleled in the world, and Chen Gong is superior in resourcefulness, although there are not many generals. But the athletes in Bingzhou are like tigers and wolves, maybe they will be many times better than Yuan Shao if they follow Lu Bu, and as soon as I came, Lu Bu put me in a high position, and this kindness is far deeper than Yuan Shao's......"

……

In the Yan army camp, Lin Nan was standing outside the big tent looking up at the sky.

The breeze was blowing, blowing Lin Nanliang. He felt a kind of moisture in the wind, and he kept looking up at the sky, looking at the gray sky. The sun was cut off by the clouds, and the clouds were rolling around. As the wind grew stronger, a smile appeared on his face.

"Looks like I'm not mistaken, it's going to rain."

After Lin Nan muttered to himself, he immediately turned his head and said to a personal soldier beside him: "Go and inform the generals and come to the big tent to discuss things!" ”

"No!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Yan army camp, Lin Nanduan sat in the middle. When all the civil and military officials arrived, he glanced around at everyone, and immediately said aloud: "Ladies and gentlemen, the sky has begun to become gloomy, and rainy weather will inevitably usher in these days. The plan to flood Yecheng is also about to be realized, and our army is fighting here, and it is time for a decisive battle with the Zhao army. ”

The civil and military officials present replied in unison: "No! ”

Lin Nan continued: "The scout has reported that Zang Ba has successfully crossed the Yellow River and is attacking some counties in Qingzhou, and Yuan Tan has also evacuated to the north bank, Yuan Tan is lonely in Qingzhou, and will inevitably lead the remnants of the army to Yecheng, and our army must completely defeat Yuan Tan and annihilate it in one fell swoop." Pavilion Tao is the only way to Yecheng, and our army can set up an ambush here in advance......"

While speaking, Lin Nan paused, glanced at the generals present, and then shouted: "Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Lu Heng, Lin Yang, Liao Hua!" ”

Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Lu Heng, Lin Yang, and Liao Hua stood up at the same time, hugged their fists and said: "The end will be!" ”

Lin Nandao: "Yuan Tan's defeated army is less than 10,000, and he will definitely be tired from the long journey, I will give you 5,000 Feiyu Army, Chen Zhi is the main general, Wen Ping, Lu Heng, Lin Yang, and Liao Hua are the deputy generals, and set up an ambush in the area of Guantao, Yuan Tan must be killed, and then return to Yecheng here, join forces with me, and then attack Yecheng together." ”

"No!"

"The rest of the congregation will stay in the camps, each performing his own duties, and then listen to my orders after the heavy rain has passed." Lin Nanlang said.

"No!"

After the order was completed, Chen Dao, Wen Ping, Lu Heng, Lin Yang, and Liao Hua left the big tent first, ordered five thousand soldiers of the Feiyu Army, carried two days' worth of dry food, and galloped towards Guantao City.

The rest of the civil and military forces left the big tent one after another, and the big tent instantly became empty, Xun Chen stood motionless, and waited until the rest of the people left, then he bowed his hand to Lin Nan and said: "Lord, my subordinates have something to tell the lord." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Xun Chen said: "In the past three days, my subordinates have been ordered to dig the river, although it has been completed, but there is a little problem with the water storage, if it rains continuously in the past two days, I am afraid that the earthen wall blocking the Zhanghe River will not be able to withstand it and collapse, and it may lead the camp where our army is located to become a ...... of Zeguo."

"Well, since you can name the drawbacks of this, there must be a solution, so let's talk about it."

Xun Chen said: "The subordinates thought that the lord should take precautions as soon as possible, move the camp to a higher place first, or mobilize soldiers to raise the camp, so that when the flood comes, the camp will not be soaked in water." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Well, then do as you say, this matter will be left to you, the 50,000 people under your command have been doing the excavation work for three days, and it doesn't hurt to do it for another day." ”

Xun Chen bowed and said: "No! ”

After sending Xun Chen away, Lin Nan asked Bai Yu and Li Yulin to be specially called, and when the two of them came to the big tent, he asked directly: "How is the progress of what I asked you to do?" ”

Bai Yu replied first: "Lord Qiqi, in the past two days, my subordinates have searched the nearby woods, ponds, and small rivers, and indeed found a lot of poisonous snakes, and my subordinates have gathered all these poisonous snakes together, just waiting for the lord's order." ”

Li Yulin then replied: "The subordinates have all done it, and there are no fierce beasts in this area." Ordinary animals are not fierce enough, but fortunately, their subordinates found a vulture's nest, and it took a lot of effort to control these vultures, as long as the lord gave an order, these vultures would follow Hai Dongqing to attack Yecheng from the air. ”

Although Lin Nan didn't know how to tame the beast and poisonous snake, he knew that Bai Yu and Li Yulin had this ability. Therefore, Bai Yu and Li Yulin were transferred back from Xun Chen's team, and the two of them were secretly assigned to carry out this task, looking for fierce beasts and poisonous snakes nearby, and then using these animals to harass Yecheng in advance, the purpose was to make Zhao Jun's military spirit float.

"Very well, you will act tonight, and when it is done, I will be rewarded." Lin Nan said happily.

Bai Yu and Li Yulin arched their hands and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

……

At dusk, Yuan Tan, who had just crossed the Yellow River, finally arrived at Ganling City with the remnants of the army after a night of travel.

Ganling City was originally the capital of the Qinghe Kingdom. Subordinate to Jizhou, when Yuan Shao took office as the pastor of Jizhou, King Qinghe of the Han Dynasty died not long after, because he had no heirs, so the Qinghe Kingdom was cut off. Yuan Shao turned Qinghe County into Qinghe County, and placed Taishou, and Ganling City naturally became the county seat of Qinghe County.

Qinghe Taishou, Ganling County Commander, and County Lieutenant are all Yuan Shao's former subordinates, because there are no soldiers here. So as soon as he heard that Zang Ba had captured Pingyuan County, Lin Nan led a large army to besiege Yecheng. Like other Jizhou counties and counties, they heard the wind and descended, so on the wall of Ganling City, it was the Yan army's Daxu that fluttered in the wind.

Yuan Tan rode a war horse and looked at Ganling City not far ahead with a tired expression. When he saw the banner of the Yan army also fluttering on Ganling City, the whole person was furious and said: "Hateful! These bird officials, when there is a benefit, run faster than anyone else, and when the disaster is coming, they fall earlier than anyone else, which is really hateful! ”

One was dressed in a robe. The middle-aged man with a white face and a green beard rode a horse to Yuan Tan's side, and said weakly: "The eldest prince, since our army crossed the Yellow River, the banner of the Yan army has fluttered in the wind wherever it has passed along the way, and the lord has concentrated all his troops in Yecheng, so that there are only a few officials in each county, and these officials are forced to surrender to the Yan army, please don't be angry." Our army has been running around for a day, the front is Ganling City, I expect that there is no army in the city, as long as the eldest prince arrives, Qinghe Taishou, Ganling County Ling and others will open the city to welcome the arrival of the eldest prince, now this rest for one night, one can use the city defense to avoid Cao Cao's pursuit, two can rest the soldiers and horses, and then return to Yecheng at dawn tomorrow. ”

Yuan Tan nodded, obeyed the words of the person beside him, and immediately said: "Lord Wang, I am fortunate to have you along the way, otherwise, I would have been captured by Cao Cao as early as Mount Tai." ”

This white-faced man wearing a robe is called Wang Xiu, a famous man in Qingzhou, who was hired by Yuan Tan as a military advisor and a special driver in Qingzhou, and is quite famous in Qingzhou.

After listening to Yuan Tan's words, Wang Xiu sighed heavily, and said slowly: "Cao Cao is very powerful in using soldiers, I am not his opponent at all, plus there are several fierce generals under Cao Cao's account, Gao Ran and Han Meng were transferred to Yecheng by the lord two months ago, and there are no generals under the eldest prince's account, so Cao Cao will win more with less." For now, the plan is to hurry back to Yecheng, first take the Yan army by surprise, and cooperate with the lord's internal and external attacks, and the siege of Yecheng will inevitably be lifted. ”

Yecheng was surrounded by Lin Nan's Yan army, and the inside couldn't get out, and the outside couldn't get in, so all the news about Yecheng was blocked by the Yan army, and what was leaked out was basically deliberately spread by Lin Nan, so that the counties and counties in Jizhou felt that Yuan Shao was gone.

Yuan Tan was far away in Qingzhou, when Cao Cao attacked Mount Tai, he led his troops to fight back against Cao Cao, and did not want to be ambushed by Cao Cao in Mount Tai.

After that, Yuan Tan fought six battles with Cao Cao in Qingzhou, each battle ended in failure, and only more than 10,000 people remained in just two or three days of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and they wanted to cross the Yellow River, but they were intercepted by Zang Ba. That is, this morning, he suddenly received a report from the scouts that the Yan army's defensive line on the north bank had completely withdrawn and they had crossed the Yellow River south. On the one hand, he was worried that Cao Cao would attack him again, and on the other hand, he also wanted to return to Yecheng as soon as possible and fight again with his army. Without hesitation, he led his army across the Yellow River.

However, Yuan Tan's crossing of the river was unfavorable, as the soldiers scrambled to get on the boat, making the crossing of the river chaotic, and it happened that Cao Cao led his troops to kill and cover up on the bank. He also lost many soldiers and horses, and only seven or eight thousand people actually crossed the Yellow River to reach the north bank.

Yuan Tan nodded, shook his spirits, and said loudly: "Rest in Ganling City today, come with me!" ”

With an order, Yuan Tan and Wang Xiu took the horse infantry to Ganling City.

As soon as the Qinghe Taishou, the county commander, and the county lieutenant in Ganling City heard that Yuan Tan was leading an army to arrive, they all went out of the city to greet them, and immediately pulled out the banner of the Yan army and replaced it with the banner of the Zhao army. The style of the wall grass is in place.

After Yuan Tan entered the city, he didn't care about these Taishou and county orders, and the Taishou and county orders took the initiative to offer food and shelter for Yuan Tan and others to rest, and after the exhausted Yuan Tan and others were full of food and drink, except for some soldiers who wanted to patrol, the rest fell asleep.

……

On the bank of the Yellow River, Gaotang Ferry.

Zang Ba displayed 10,000 soldiers on the shore. With all the bows and crossbows, he watched Cao Cao's boats drifting in the river. He frowned tightly, and said to himself: "As I expected, after Yuan Tan crossed to the north, Cao Cao would inevitably come to pursue, if it wasn't for my foresight, I would have left this place a day later." Cao Cao's army may have already set foot on the land of Jizhou at this time. ”

On the boat in the middle of the river, Cao Cao stood at the bow of the boat, looked at Zang Ba standing on the bank, and said in a lost voice: "Why is he?" I didn't expect Zang Ba to join Lin Nan......"

"My lord, it seems that Zang Ba has taken precautions. The reason why Yuan Tan was able to cross the Yellow River along Lì is probably because Zang Ba deliberately let him go. Zang Ba Chen Bing is here, it seems that he doesn't want our army to cross the Yellow River, are we moving forward now, or are we retreating? Xi Zhicai stood beside Cao Cao, coughed softly twice, and asked slowly.

Cao Cao stared at Zang Ba and the Yan army waiting on the riverbank, and said, "Zang Ba is really a general, but it's a pity that he served Lin Nan...... Military division, pass the order, withdraw the army, and return to Qingzhou, you must do your best to occupy the entire territory of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei's kid must also start to clean up, otherwise it will become a big disaster for our army. ”

"My subordinates understand." Xi Zhicai turned his head and shouted loudly, "The lord has an order, the whole army retreats!" ”

The soldiers carried out a load of loess into the barracks, and then tamped it with large stones, gradually raising and reinforcing the ground where the camp was located.

After nightfall, suddenly the wind blew, a gust of cool wind blew the banner of the Yan army, the faces of the soldiers were a burst of joy, it was hot for so many days, today suddenly ushered in a cool wind, and the joy came to my heart.

In the three Yan army camps at the east gate, south gate, and north gate of Yecheng, all the soldiers were in full swing with joy, and the cover of the night made the camp a lot taller in the dark.

In the Jin army camp at the west gate of Yecheng, Lu Bu waited at the gate of the camp with the generals, looking at the long queue of grain transportation coming from the night, he felt a trace of comfort in his heart.

"Be careful, don't spill it, whoever has a business trip there, I'll only ask." Chen Gong rode a cyan war horse, wearing thin armor, and shouted loudly as he pointed at the team carrying grain.

Lu Bu was looking forward to the food, and he was also looking forward to Chen Gong and reinforcements, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

"Subordinates, see the lord!" Chen Gong took the lead, rode his horse and ran in front of Lu Bu, turned over and dismounted, and bowed with his fists.

Lu Bu was quite dependent on Chen Gong, and in the past two years in Bingzhou, he never fought with the Xianbei people at any time, and often led an army out of the fortress, and all the affairs of Bingzhou were handed over to Chen Gong to deal with.

However, in order to raise military expenses and grain and grass, Chen Gong had to increase the harsh taxes of the people of Bingzhou, in addition, he also used a lot of Huns who lived in Bingzhou and depended on the Han Dynasty, and let these Huns join the army to fight for Lu Bu.

Lü Bu relied on his personal bravery to impress all the Huns, and willingly served him. He also recognized the superiority of the Huns in cavalry, trained them personally, and successfully formed a cavalry team with the Huns as the main force. The Huns took the wolf as a totem, so this army was called the wolf cavalry, which was dispatched by Zhang Liao, and the Han people in Bingzhou were all included in the pro-guard army led by Wei Xu, and Lu Bu selected the elite 2,000 people from these pro-guard troops, formed a trap camp, and handed it over to Gao Shun as commander.

The small population of Bingzhou and the lack of soldiers have always been a headache for Lu Bu, and Chen Gong has attracted the Huns. For Lu Bu, it was undoubtedly a great favor for him. Therefore, every time Lu Bu went out to fight, he always had no worries, and he gradually became more dependent on Chen Gong.

Seeing Chen Gong standing in front of him, Lu Bu immediately stretched out his hands. patted Chen Gong on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "The military advisor really didn't break his promise, today is exactly seven days, and the military advisor was able to raise so much grain and grass in seven days, which is really a great achievement." ”

Chen Gong said: "Serving the lord is what his subordinates should do." The people of Jizhou are rich, and a single Handan city can raise a lot of grain and grass, not to mention Changshan, Zhongshan and other counties, I only brought 20,000 of the 30,000 soldiers and horses. The remaining 10,000 I let the various military commanders lead the three places to stay in Zhongshan, Changshan, and Zhaojun, I don't know how the progress of the lord's side is? ”

Lu Bu's happy face suddenly showed a trace of anger, and he shouted loudly: "Don't mention it, the Zhao army is cunning, our army has lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in a row in the past two days, and even the three generals Cheng Lian, Xue Lan, and Li Feng have also died one after another, Yecheng is not as easy to attack as I imagined, and our army is all cavalry." I didn't bring any siege equipment with ......."

Chen Gong heard Lu Bu's voice getting weaker and weaker, and finally fell silent. After no longer saying half a word, he arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't know much about the war, can the lord tell his subordinates in detail?" ”

Lu Bu nodded, stretched out his hand, and took Chen Gong under his arm. Chong Chen Gong said: "It looks like it's going to rain tonight, this is not the place to talk, please follow me into the account." ”

Chen Gong obeyed his orders and walked into the gate with Lu Bu. When passing by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, he suddenly found that there was a big man standing in the middle of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao that he had never seen before, so he hurriedly asked: "Lord, this is ......?"

"In the following ugly, I have seen the military division!" Wen Chou hurriedly bowed his hand towards Chen Gong.

After hearing this, Chen Gong was taken aback, hurriedly looked at Wen Chou, turned his head and asked: "There are five fierce generals under Yuan Shao's account, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Meng, Gao Lan, Ju Yi, among them, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the most brave, both of them are brave champions of the three armies, invincible generals, I really didn't expect the lord to be able to let Wen Chou surrender, this is really the blessing of the lord, the blessing of my Jin army." ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "This is all the credit of Zhang Liao, if it weren't for him to persuade Wen Chou to surrender, I'm afraid he would have already become my dead soul under the halberd by now." ”

Chen Gong squinted at Zhang Liao, and saw that Zhang Liao was full of spirit and spirits, so he smiled and said: "Wenyuan is both wise and brave, the lord should treat him well, and he will definitely be able to become a general in charge in the future." ”

Lu Bu sneered: "The military advisor also looks down on Zhang Liao too much, in my heart, he is already a general who is in charge of himself, and when I handed over the wolf cavalry to him, I have already given him affirmation." ”

"Yes, yes, what the lord said is that his subordinates made a mistake." Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu's face showed displeasure, so he hurriedly said.

Lu Bu grabbed Chen Gong's hand and said to the generals: "Everyone, the military advisor has come from afar, I will set up a banquet to entertain the military advisor today, you all come together, everyone will not get drunk today." ”

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wen Chou and others replied in unison: "No! ”

……

In Yecheng, Yuan Xi sat alone in the hall of Zhao Hou's Mansion, and the whole person looked very gloomy, and he didn't understand a conversation with Wen Chou during the day. In his opinion, Wen Chou was the most loyal and brave subordinate under his father's account, and he was the one who put him in power, and he couldn't understand that Wen Chou would suddenly surrender to Lu Bu with all his heart.

"Lord ......" Fu Zhi walked in from outside the hall, and when he saw Yuan Xi's brows tightened, he shouted tentatively.

Yuan Xi was thinking about things, he didn't hear Fu Zhi's words at all, and he didn't even know that Fu Zhu came in, his two eyes stared at the ground blankly, his hands were clenched into fists, his upper teeth bit his lower lip, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Why...... Why did you surrender to Lu Bu...... Why is that? ”

He sighed, shook his head, slowly walked to Yuan Xi's side, and arched his hand: "Lord, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to think about it anymore, it can only be said that everyone has their own ambitions." The subordinates are also ashamed of the lord, although today a small victory in the Jin army, but the back will be more difficult, now the enemy army has surrounded the four gates, out of the can't afford to come out, the subordinates are the military division of the Zhao army, but can not think of retreating from the enemy, it is really ashamed. ”

Yuan Xi reacted at this time, and he heard the words of frustration. Then he said: "The military advisor doesn't have to mind, maybe my Yuan clan is really gone, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng, and the grain and grass are enough to last for a year, if we stick to it without fighting, we may be able to drag down the enemy army......"

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning slashed down from the sky. Immediately afterwards, a huge thunderclap came, directly covering Yuan Xi's voice.

Frustrated only to see Yuan Xi open his mouth, but he couldn't hear the sound, but his brows immediately wrinkled, and he hurriedly ran to the outside of the hall, looking up and seeing the lightning mixed with thunder in the night sky, and the slightest cool wind blowing him was very comfortable, so he hurriedly shouted: "Not good!" The Yan army may really be able to flood Yecheng! ”

Yuan Xi ran out of the hall and came to Fu Zhi's side. He asked, "Strategist, what did you just say?" ”

Fu Zhu hurriedly said: "My lord, it has been very hot for a while, and the water cannot be dropped, so that the water level of the Zhanghe River has dropped, and the Zhao army has blocked the channel of the Zhanghe River into the moat, and a dam must have been built there to store water temporarily." During the day I didn't expect the weather to change so quickly. Now the lightning and thunder are the harbingers of the storm. If this rainstorm lasts for a long time, the water level of the Zhanghe River will inevitably rise, and once the Yan army digs a gap, the river will inevitably rush into the moat, and the moat will carry limited river water. The water level will inevitably overflow to the ground, then the river will pour into the city, and Yecheng will instantly become a Ze country. ”

Yuan Xi heard that Fu Zhu said so strictly, so he hurriedly said, "What should I do?" ”

"For the sake of today's plan, we can only block the places around the city wall that can overflow first. Then dig deep ditches in various parts of the city for water storage, hoping to reduce the damage of the water of the Zhanghe River to Yecheng, in addition, the grain in the granary should also be quickly transferred to a higher place, so as to be prepared, must not be flooded by water, otherwise Yecheng will fall into an unprecedented panic. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Military advisor, I will leave this matter to you to do, go now, and all the qiē in the city will be handed over to you to command......"

"Lord-" Chen Zhen hurriedly ran over from outside, panting and panicked, shouting, "It's a big deal, General Yan...... General Yan, he ......"

Yuan Xi and Fu Zhu both gasped and asked in unison, "What's wrong with Yan Liang?" ”

Chen Zhen took a breath, took a deep breath, and said in one breath: "Subordinates and Chen Lin are guarding the east gate, General Yan Liang suddenly arrived on horseback, immediately gathered three thousand cavalry, ordered people to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and wanted to kill the east gate and the Yan army to fight to the death, the subordinates couldn't stop it, General Yan Liang rushed out of the city with the cavalry, just galloped to the edge of the earthen wall built by the enemy, but suddenly suffered a fierce attack, the Yan army general Tai Shici commanded the soldiers to lure the enemy deep, and led Yan Liang into the encirclement, As a result, General Yan Liang was surrounded, and his subordinates led troops to clash and did not come out, but were blocked back by the enemy......"

Without waiting for Chen Zhen to speak, Yuan Xi said angrily: "Nonsense! Follow me to the east gate and send troops to rescue Yan Liang, I have no Wen Chou, I can't be without Yan Liang anymore, otherwise the morale of our army will be extremely low! ”

Fu Zhu and Chen Zhen replied at the same time: "No! ”

Outside the east gate of Yecheng, the light of the fire fluttered in the wind in the dark night, the fire blown by the wind was erratic, and the flames were quickly extinguished by the strong wind for a long time.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and from time to time there were bursts of thunder, as well as the sound of various weapons colliding, as well as the cries of the soldiers who died tragically, all of which spread from this small open space to all sides.

On the watchtower of the Yan army's camp, Ouyang Yinying anxiously looked at the battlefield ahead, except for darkness or darkness, only when the sky split lightning could she see the situation in the clearing. The torches couldn't be lit, she couldn't see clearly, she couldn't tell where the enemy was.

Ouyang Yinying tugged at her heart, and secretly shouted in her heart: "Tai Shici, you must resist it, don't you always want to kill Yan Liang, this time is a good opportunity." Yan Liang has already been surrounded, as long as you take the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry to surround Yan Liang inside, you can kill him......"

On the battlefield, Tai Shici held a steel halberd, wearing a steel helmet, wearing steel armor, riding a chestnut high war horse under the seat, at the moment when the lightning fell, he quickly glanced around with his eyes, and then remembered the enemy's position, and stabbed many enemy soldiers with a wave of the steel halberd.

Zhou Cang led the heavy cavalry to form an arc from the left, Li Tie led the heavy infantry to form an arc from the right, and the two groups of soldiers and horses were like a vat, surrounding the people led by Yan Liang on three sides, and behind the cavalry led by Yan Liang, two thousand lightly armed sword and shield soldiers were stuck there, covering the vat like a pot lid, and enclosing Yan Liang and his subordinates in this vat together, step by step, moving closer to the inside.

A corpse of the Zhao army fell from the horse, the soldiers of the Zhao army could not cut the hoplites and cavalry of the Yan army, and the back was blocked by the Yan army swords and shield soldiers, and they did not rush out twice in a row, and the soldiers' originally high morale was gone, in exchange for only endless panic.

Yan Liang held a big knife, which was also carefully crafted, extremely sharp, and could be said to be as sharp as clay, but when this big knife touched the steel armor, it could not play a role, and it could only be equivalent to a stick hitting a person.

Darkness, chaos, fear, except for the angry Yan Liang, the rest of the Zhao soldiers were discouraged, and many Zhao soldiers shouted "I surrender" and knelt on the ground with weapons in prayer. However, these soldiers chose the wrong object of surrender, and the main general Tai Shici was murderous at this time, he was alone, riding a fast horse, holding a steel halberd in the enemy camp left and right, quite a Buddha to kill the Buddha, meet the immortal to punish the immortal.

With a loud shout, the heads fell to the ground, and pillars of blood gushed out, dyeing Tai Shici's whole body red, filling him with an incomparable smell of blood.

Red blood, familiar smell, Yan Liang is a bloodthirsty man, as soon as he smelled this bloody smell, the whole person became extremely excited, relying on his sensitive nose, he followed the smell and looked for it.

Tai Shi Ci is still killing around, he can't see people clearly in the dark, he is looking for the enemy general Yan Liang, but he finds that every time he is in front of him is not a panicked soldier, or a coward who kneels and begs for mercy, he did not hesitate to kill them all, this time he can't remember how many people he killed, there are not a hundred but two hundred, he himself is a little numb when he kills, but he never found out where Yan Liang is.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, and the light of the lightning was particularly dazzling, illuminating the entire land at the east gate of Yecheng, Tai Shi Ci had become a bright red blood man, and in this night with black as the main color, he became the most eye-catching person in the audience.

Yan Liang hid in the dark, relying on the familiarity of the smell of blood, he gradually approached Tai Shi Ci, when the lightning slashed down, he suddenly saw that the blood man in front of him was Tai Shi Ci, his heart was excited, quietly leaned over, clenched the big knife in his hand, and when he approached Tai Shi Ci, he raised the big knife in his hand, and suddenly slashed towards Tai Shi Ci's head, and shouted loudly: "Where is Tai Shi Ci going?" ”

Tai Shi Ci's eyes turned, and he was looking for Yan Liang's figure everywhere, but he suddenly heard a loud shout from behind, and when he was about to turn around, he saw a cold light reflecting the light of lightning shining into his eyes, he suddenly felt extremely dazzling, and at the same time, the hairs on his whole body stood up, and an ominous premonition quickly hit his heart, which couldn't help but make a cold sweat break out on his back.

Between the lightning and flint, Yan Liang had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the big knife in his hand slashed down, really hitting the hard object in front of him, and at the same time, he could smell a fresh smell of blood flowing down his knife edge, dripping down the sharp big knife drop by drop. He secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I killed the enemy general Taishi ......"

A painful neighing of horses broke the joy in Yan Liang's heart. (To be continued......)
