Gao Yi did not shirk, and said confidently: "Spread false news to the thief army, saying that the officers and soldiers were not united because of the removal of generals and commanders, and they retreated one after another, so as to paralyze the thief army, and then took advantage of the night to move the people, so that the thief army would not know, in order to hide people's eyes, they could attack several times." Isn't that enough? ”

The words were simple, but Sun Jian quickly understood the gist of it, and he couldn't help but appreciate Gao Yi even more, but he still couldn't help frowning: "Although what Gao Taishou said is right, it is really difficult to do it with only the thousands of people in Sun's hands!" ”

Gao Yi smiled, pointed to his own troops around Wancheng on the sand table and said: "What I just said that if General Sun Jian commands 20,000 horses, it is not just casual talk, I have already made up my mind to enter the inner city and say that Sun Xia himself, once successful, tens of thousands of horses can put down the sword soldiers, at the same time, my 10,000 horses will be under the command of General Sun Jian for the time being, once it is unsuccessful, General Sun Jian will not be too late to attack with water!" ”

Sun still doesn't understand, why did Gao Taishou have to enter the city and surrender? What if something happens? Sun Jian knew that Gao Yi had made up his mind, but he still wanted to persuade Gao Yi.

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?" Gao Yi blurted out, just this sentence, so that Sun Jian could not refute.

Late at night, the official army really launched a fierce attack on the four gates of the inner city of Wancheng again, Sun Xia has not slept for several months, at this moment he heard that the official army came to attack again, and immediately climbed to the head of the city to watch, and sure enough, he saw countless officers and soldiers on all sides, densely packed, each holding torches, one after another, which was shocking.

"Hold on, you must defend it!" Sun Xia, who was already tired, was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, but because it was late at night, the deputy generals next to him couldn't see his expression, and they responded one after another, and went to supervise the battle on all sides.

Sun Xia didn't know that in fact, the attack of the official army this time was just a thunderstorm and a small rain, and the officers and soldiers under the city were each holding two or three torches, and the drummers were ordered to beat the drums continuously.

"Quick! Don't delay, if you wait until dawn to be seen by the thieves in the city, it won't be good to take precautions! Qin turned over the order, and urged his subordinates to assist the people in transporting their property, and ordered that if anyone dared to take a penny from the people, they would be beheaded immediately if it was true.

The situation of the other three gates was the same, but Sun Xia was kept in the dark, ignorant of it, and at the same time, Sun Jian had already divided half of the men, waiting for once it rained heavily, it would block the water and flood Wancheng in the low terrain.

The sky was nearly bright, and it was really cloudy, and when it was completely bright, the raindrops of beans crackled down-

"Wow!"

"Sun Shuai, the officers and soldiers have withdrawn!" Several lieutenants were extremely tired at the moment, and seeing that they had supported it all night, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they all came to see Sun Xia one by one, as if surviving one day was a victory.

Sun Xia looked at the rain curtain and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Rainy weather is not conducive to siege warfare in the end, and the officers and soldiers know this unfavorable factor, why do they still do the opposite? If it was to break through the city, why did it retreat halfway?

All kinds of indications show that the purpose of the official army this time is not to attack the city, and there are other plans, but what is the other plan, Sun Xia can't think of it for a while.

"Report, Sun Shuai, Nanyang Taishou Gao Yi asks to see, outside the east gate!"

Sun Xia was taken aback: "How many people did you bring?"

The horse scouts reported: "He is the only one, and he has no weapons with him, but only a horse!"

The lieutenant generals were indignant: "There is really no one in sight, is there no one in our army?" Brothers, beckon the archers to get ready, and shoot this Gao Yi here! ”

A few people echoed, raised their voices and were about to go, but were stopped by Sun Xia: "Slow, he is the new Nanyang Taishou, besides, I have heard of his deeds, he is not yet twenty years old, he has defeated Zhang Yan several times, and he performed well in the battle of Jizhou, it is commendable that this person has a benevolent heart, Pei Yuanshao was a general under the command of General Tiangong, and now he also submits to him......"

Everyone was angry in their hearts: "Sun Shuai, at this time and that time, he accepted Pei Yuanshao because he felt that Pei Yuanshao had something to use, how could these officials and soldiers be credible if they said and did repeatedly?" It's better to die in battle, or you can ascend to the world of the yellow sky that the great sage and good teacher said earlier! ”

Sun Xia sighed: "But people always want to see each other, I want to see what this Gao Yi can say!"

Gao Yi stood in the rain curtain, watching the city gate slowly open, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As long as he was allowed to see Sun Xia, he was sure to convince him.

Sun Xia was not polite, ordered the two teams of cavalry to open the way, split the two sides, holding weapons, lined up in a strict formation, Sun Xia himself rode his horse and stood under the city gate, and shouted at Gao Yi: "Who is coming?" ”

Gao Yi sneered and shouted: "I have already reported my name and identity just now, why should Sun Shuai ask again, is it suspected that Gao Yi is cheating?" ”

Sun Xia stiffened his face and remained silent: "The two sides are fighting, so naturally we have to ask a clear understanding, otherwise wouldn't I, the commander of Qu Shuai, be very incompetent?" ”

Gao Yi beat his horse and walked forward a few steps, the two cavalrymen snorted, and immediately blocked the way with weapons, Gao Yi blocked the blade with his fingers, and shouted inward: "If Gao Yi is not mistaken, Sun Shuai, this Qu Shuai, was elected after Han Shuai died, right?" ”

Several lieutenant generals behind Sun Xia shouted fiercely: "Han Zhong's surrender faction, he deserves to be killed by Sun Jian's arrow, our Sun Shuai is a man who stands up to the sky, even if he fights to a soldier, he will not surrender!" ”

Gao Yi's complexion changed slightly, his hand was slightly forced, and when he was about to bounce the two blades in front of him, the two cavalrymen who were blocking the way were also knocked off their horses by this strange force, and before the cavalry behind could react, Gao Yi had already snatched one of the spears with his hand, pointed coldly ahead, and said angrily: "I talk to Sun Shuai in front of the horse, what is the matter with you!" ”

When the lieutenant generals saw Gao Yi taking the preemptive strike, they were naturally angry, and they went to get the blade with their backhands to rush up, but they were naturally stopped by Sun Xia: "Give me all the retreat, since this is too sincere, why should we lose our manners?" ”

"Whoa!" The lieutenant generals withdrew their blades, Gao Yi also smiled and threw away the spear in his hand, looking at Sun Xia still more than ten zhang away from him, he couldn't help but say leisurely: "It turns out that Sun Shuai's so-called sincerity and courtesy are that there are guests visiting, but they are rejected from the door, which is really chic!" ”

"Get out of the way!" Sun Xia is a smart man, he ordered the cavalry to flash aside, and he was about to pass by beating his horse, and everyone persuaded him: "Sun Shuai beware of this person's assassination!" ”

Sun Xia didn't care: "It's okay, according to this person's skills, if he really wants to stab me, it is a few feet away, he can also fly a sword to take my head, but he didn't, it can be seen that he really wants to persuade him to surrender, I can't cut off the last retreat of the 50,000 brothers in the city for my own selfishness!" ”

Gao Yi naturally heard these words in his ears, Gao Yi actually knew very little about Sun Xia, but he only roughly knew that Han Zhong wanted to surrender and was beheaded after the remaining Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng elected Sun Xia as the new commander, Sun Xia led the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng to repel the onslaught of the official army including Zhu Jun many times, and finally was killed by Qin Jie's ambush when he fled.

Gao Yi knew that with his own strength, it was impossible to harvest all the slightly more powerful characters from all over the country in the late Eastern Han Dynasty into his own, all he could do was to see one by one as much as possible, naturally, even people like Sun Xia could not be an exception, if it wasn't for not crossing before the Battle of Changshe, Gao Yi really wanted to bring the Bocai, Peng Tuo, and Bu who defeated Zhu Jun into his command.

When Gao Yi entered the city, he immediately revealed his intentions: "Gao Yi is here, not for himself, but for Sun Shuai and tens of thousands of soldiers in the city!" ”

Sun Xia's vigilance was not completely lifted, he looked at Gao Yi inexplicably and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency means!" ”

"Time is of the essence!" Gao Yi said bluntly, "The official army wants to flood Wancheng!" ”

"Huh?" Sun Xia and the generals were suddenly surprised, but they didn't believe it, "How to flood?" At this time, the flood period has passed, unless it is a rainstorm, but the place where the water flows out of Nanyang County is wide and gentle, so there is no need to worry about accidents! ”

Gao Yi couldn't help but be speechless that the generals of the Yellow Turban Army would not change their angles when they saw the problem: "What if the officers and soldiers send people to block the river in advance?" ”

Sun Xia still didn't believe it: "There are still tens of thousands of people in the outer city, once Wancheng is flooded, what will happen to these Wancheng people, and the officials and soldiers are not afraid of bearing the infamy of the previous life?" ”

Gao Yi said amazingly: "I'm afraid Sun Shuai has already guessed that the purpose of the onslaught of the official army at night is actually to cover the migration of the people outside the city to high places, but Sun Shuai didn't see it!" ”

"What?" Sun Xia was even more surprised, and at this time, a member happened to visit the Malay newspaper: "Sun Shuai, all the people outside the city have moved away, and now they are all empty houses!" ”

"......" Sun Xia was surprised, he still didn't believe it, braved the torrential rain to climb the city wall, only to see the heavy rain washed down many simple huts outside the city, but no one came out, and his heart was secretly cold, "When did this happen, why don't I know about it at all?" ”

Gao Yi smiled: "From this alone, it is enough to see that Sun Shuai is not a qualified Qu Shuai!" ”

Sun Xia looked at Gao Yi suddenly, and there was a faint fear of Gao Yi in his eyes.

Gao Yi continued: "Don't hide it from Sun Shuai, now I have a brother guarding the embankment where the river flows out of Wancheng in the east, as long as I see that I don't go back safely within half an hour, the water will be blocked and drained into Wancheng, and then the result will not be what you and I want to see!" ”

Even if he was mentally prepared, Sun Xia still didn't expect that Gao Yi's prepared move would be this, he looked at the nearby mountains a few times, although through the continuous rain curtain, it seemed that hundreds of people were throwing the prepared sandbags into the water.

"What if you come today and die tomorrow?" Sun Xia said what he was most worried about.

Gao Yi didn't say anything, and took out the letter that Zhang Jiaotuo Pei Yuanshao handed over to him and showed it to Sun Xia.

"Subordinate Sun Xia is willing to surrender! Meet the new lord! Sun Xia read the letter and knelt in front of Gao Yi with a pop.

The others didn't understand and muttered, "Sun Shuai, what's wrong with you?" Why did you kneel in front of this guy? ”

"Don't be presumptuous! This letter is a bloody letter written by General Tiangong when he was dying, clearly saying that we sectarians will listen to General Gao's orders in the future and not kneel! Sun Xia reprimanded these boring people who could only chew the root of their tongues.

"Whoa!" Then there was another mountain call.

Gao Yi smiled, sure enough, Zhang Jiao's blood letter played a key role at this time, fortunately he didn't burn it, he helped Sun Xia up and said, "Why is Sun Shuai like this?" It's Gao Yi who is late, otherwise Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong and other Qu Shuai would not have died! ”

At this moment, on the bank of the river in the east, Sun Jian's soldiers were about to throw the sandbags by the river into the river, when suddenly a member of the horse galloped over and shouted: "Spread the order of Nanyang Taishou, saying that Sun Xia has descended, and the water attack is meaningless, so Ling Er and the others will return to the army immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

Watching Tanma leave, these soldiers were all indignant, and one of them said hatefully: "Those thieves have killed many of our brothers, and there will be nothing wrong with a word of surrender?" ”

"Big brother, do you want to disobey Taishou's order?" Others exclaimed.

"Hmph, bullshit is too guarded, a hairy boy who is not as big as my son, knows what a fart, according to me, this sandbag is still filling the river, and even this bullshit hairy boy and those thieves are drowned! A few of our brothers don't go back to General Sun Jian, so let's go back to our hometown directly? The soldier who was leading the way agitated.

"Is that really good?" The crowd hesitated.

"What are you afraid of, you don't do it, I do it!" After the man finished speaking, he threw the sandbags one after another into the river, and after a while, the others were also agitated, and they grabbed the sandbags and threw them into the river, blocking the water in a moment.

The sky was overcast, the torrential rain was like a pour, and the water gradually overflowed the riverbank, pouring down the hillside into the boundary of Wancheng, like a torrent that swept everything, rushing and roaring.
