With the help of the army, the grain in Jiujiang County was harvested in less than twenty days, Zhang Yi looked at the military report sent back from Guangling County, sneered, and called Wei Wentong over, "Zhu Zhi and Lu Meng took 10,000 soldiers to the monks and apprentices to meet." Then, with Shang Shifu as the main apprentice, he attacked Tangyi County, Yuguo, Jiangdu County, Guangling County and other places. Zhong Liwei Tang and attacked Dongyang County, and Xu Shengshun Huaishui attacked Xuyi County. ”

Zhang Yi has been paying attention to the land of Guangling for a long time, as long as he takes Guangling, the south of Huaishui will be under control, especially the Hongze Lake generation, which is the grain producing area of Xuzhou, and the farmland is fertile, as long as he takes here, it is equivalent to taking half of Xuzhou. As long as Hongze Lake is taken, cavalry can be dispatched to invade Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, and it can be said that one lake disturbs four states.

In fact, Zhang Yi has always occupied the territory of Xuzhou, and Dongcheng County, which he included in Jiujiang County, is the territory of Xuzhou's Xiapi Kingdom, but when Zhang Yi pacified the counties of Jiujiang, he forcibly occupied it. Xuzhou actually asked Zhang Yi for it a few times, but unfortunately Zhang Yi didn't agree at all.

Dongcheng County is like a dagger inserted in the abdomen of Jiujiang County, from Dongcheng County can go east to Jianyang County, to the south can attack Hefei, Junxuan, Liyang, Juchao, to the north can attack Yinling, Quyang, Zhongli, Dangtu, to the west can attack Chengde, West Quyang, Shouchun, almost threatened the entire Jiujiang County. With such an important first place, how could Zhang Yi return it?

Not only that, but he also sent heavy troops to guard Dongcheng County, and when Lu Su was not promoted to the county guard, he supervised the defense of Dongcheng County.

Master Shang and his apprentices got 10,000 soldiers, plus his original soldiers, a total of 15,000 people. He ordered: "Zhu Junli and Lu Ziming, the two of you set off from Jianyang with 5,000 soldiers and went straight to Gaoyou. ”

Zhu Zhi and Lu Meng immediately received the order and set off immediately with 5,000 soldiers. Zhu Zhi was the main general, Lu Meng was the vanguard, and led 1,000 people as the leader.

Master Shang and his apprentices took Meng Liang Jiaozan as the vanguard and led 3,000 people to Tangyi County. Last time, they took a large number of people from Tangyi, Yuguo, Guangling, Jiangdu and other places, which also caused a lot of people in these four counties to be able to harvest grain. When they came again, most of the grain in these four counties had not been harvested!

Master Shang and his apprentices directly sent people to surround the towns in the four counties, and then grabbed grain to replenish military supplies. The best way to replenish the enemy is to fight and war, and one stone captured by the enemy is equivalent to ten less stones from the rear.

Lü Meng arrived in Gaoyou County to snatch grain. This time's strategy was like this, first snatching the grain from the counties they were attacking, and then attacking. After Zhu Zhi's rear army arrived, they also followed to harvest grain.

Tang He attacked Dongyang County with 3,000 men, and he also wanted to do the same. However, his luck was better, he felt that when Dongyang County was in the city, the people were transporting grain to the city. When Tang He saw such an opportunity, he immediately waved his troops into the city.

Tang He is very honest and responsible, he is conscientious in Zhongli, and he has no complaints at all. Xue Li, who was summoned later than him, had already been promoted, but Tang He was still Zhongli Lieutenant. So Zhang Yi wanted to give Tang He this opportunity, but he didn't expect Tang He to seize this opportunity and make contributions first.

Tang He asked people to guard the city, and then organized people to collect grain. He didn't know if he would occupy this place for a long time this time, so he sent Zhang Yi a battle report, he was a separate army, so he needed to send a military report to Zhang Yi, and he was not under the jurisdiction of Master Shang's apprentice.

Xu Sheng led 2,000 sailors to attack Xuyi, which was south of Hongze Lake and belonged to the jurisdiction of Xiapi State.

A few months ago, Zhang Zhao served as the prime minister of Xiapi. Since Zhang Zhao served as the minister of Xiapi, he was very wary of Zhang Yi, and first sent most of the soldiers to the south to defend themselves, only Xiaqiu and Huailing. In the three counties of Xuyi, there were more than 6,000 soldiers, and when Xu Sheng was going to Xuyi along the Huaishui, he was attacked by the Xiapi army along the way.

These three counties are all along the Huaishui coast, and Zhang Zhao directly asked people to fortify on the north bank of the Huaishui to prevent Zhang Yi from attacking. Unexpectedly, this arrangement turned out to be an obstacle for Xu Sheng to attack Xuyi County, and he hurriedly asked Shouchun for instructions on whether to attack Xuyi according to the original plan.

After Zhang Yi received Xu Sheng's military report, he immediately gave an order and asked Xu Sheng to improvise. Before, he asked Xu Sheng to attack Xuyi, just to let the navy enter Hongze Lake. If the road is smooth, Xu Sheng's two thousand naval troops can contain a lot of troops in Xuzhou. However, Xiaqiu, Huailing, and Xuyi were all defended by Zhang Zhao, and it was a little difficult to enter Hongze Lake again.

Zhang Yi looked at the map, he wanted to make trouble for Cao Cao, and he also wanted to increase his strategic space, these two things could be done at the same time. It's just that Xu Sheng can't enter Hongze Lake, how can his strategy of disrupting Xuzhou be realized?

Just when Zhang Yi was worried, Tang He's military report was sent, and Zhang Yi was overjoyed after reading it. Staring at the map again, Dongyang County is not far from Xuyi County, but unfortunately Xuyi County at this time is on the north bank of Huaishui, if it is on the south bank of Huaishui, he can let Tang He directly attack Xuyi County.

But in this case, he still has a way. Zhang Yi called Wei Wentong and asked him to replenish Tang He with 2,000 men, and brought him a new one to attack Ping'an County first, blocking the way for Chen Deng's rescue in the south. He once again asked Xu Sheng's army to hold back the defenders of Xiaqiu and Huailing, and let the army garrisoning Dongyang prevent the Xuyi defenders from crossing the Huaishui, so as to buy time for Master Shang and his apprentices.

After Master Shang and his apprentice left with the army, the county commanders of Quanjiao and Jianyang counties organized a lot of people to help harvest grain. With the help of tens of thousands of people, the grain in Tangyi County was quickly harvested.

Master Shang led the army in front of Tangyi City and said loudly: "Now all the grain outside the city has been collected by me. If you surrender in Kaejo, I will give you back the grain; If you don't open the city and surrender, I'll take all the food with me. ”

The people in the city were in an uproar, they had no surplus food, and if Master Shang really took the food, they would have to wait for death.

When the county commander saw the people rioting, he was also the six gods and no masters, but the family in the city immediately dispatched private soldiers to help suppress the bullets. They can be said to be accustomed to dominating one side, and Chen Deng made sure that they maintained their current position, and they supported Chen Deng against outsiders. Now is the time for them to support Chen Deng and secure their position.

However, their actions also caused the people to be angry, and the city began to attack each other.

Seeing this, Master Shang and his apprentice immediately waved their troops to attack. In less than half an hour, Tangyi County was laid.
