Li Jing saw that both of them had already attacked the city wall, and he was very relieved. Lu Meng and Tang He are both promising young people, this Lu Meng has a resolute personality and is a fierce general. However, it is just and easy to break, this Lu Meng is a little too strong, the attack just now, if it is captured, it is a meritorious service, if it can't be attacked, then it will be a loss of troops.

On the contrary, Tang He did a good job this time, and in order to help Lu Meng relieve the pressure, he also ordered someone to go up. If Tang He hadn't gone up just now, Lu Meng might really not be able to attack.

Li Jing intellectually felt that Tang He was a usable talent, but he felt that Lu Meng had an appetite for him. He himself is also a person who likes to take risks, he feels that Lu Meng is very similar to himself, and people always like people who are similar to themselves!

At this moment, the city gate was opened, and Li Jing immediately waved the command flag, "The whole army enters the city!" ”

Zhang Yi's soldiers immediately poured into the city, and Li Jing also went to the top of the city tower, and then commanded the soldiers to occupy the surrounding city gates and surround all the defenders of Yandu. The defenders in the city were also resisting, but after three or four hours, they were all pacified by Lu Meng and Tang He.

After taking Yandu, Li Jing let Tang He garrison Yandu and temporarily handed over the power to him to manage. Then Li Jing took Lü Meng and pressed the captives to the west, and Sheyang and Zhang Yi made peace.

After arriving at Sheyang, Zhang Yi hurriedly brought Li Jing into the military camp and said to him: "Pharmacist, this Sheyang is difficult to conquer for a while. Chen Deng and Yu Ban are both handsome for a while, if they are dragged to the time when the Huaishui freezes, I am afraid that Cao Cao's reinforcements will come. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone outside shouted: "Report! Xia Cai military intelligence! ”

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Li Jing: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, and I don't know who Cao Cao sent to capture Cai!" ”

Li Jing also laughed, "Timing Shen County Xiahou Yuan!" ”

Zhang Yi nodded, let the soldiers outside the door in, then took the military report and opened it, "Xiahou Yuan has five thousand people to attack Xia Cai, it seems that Cao Cao has also finished harvesting food." ”

"It's inevitable!" Li Jing said: "Cao Cao is a man of great talent, and he will definitely not let the lord occupy all the land of Huainan. Although Huaishui is wide, the weather has been cold in recent years, and Huaishui has a freezing period of about a month, which gives Cao Cao a chance to support. ”

Zhang Yi said: "I can make the day when the water freezes later, but this method can only delay for three or five days, and if you want to delay it for a month, it is simply impossible." ”

Li Jing didn't feel curious, "I don't know what the lord is and how to do it?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "When Huaishui freezes, it also needs to be accumulated. The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and if you want to form a thickness that can exceed people, it is impossible without ten days and a half months. As long as the thin ice is washed away by boats back and forth in the Huaishui when the water first freezes, the freezing time can be delayed. ”

"Here's the way!" Li Jing was noncommittal, he was still skeptical about something.

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "This is also a common sense, it should belong to a physical phenomenon, and after the establishment of the Academy of Liberal Arts, I will let people study it." You know, there are many secrets in this world, and we need to keep exploring to know what the truth is. ”

Li Jing also has some knowledge of some of the books written by Zhang Yi, but he is not very interested in these things. He asked, "Xiahou Yuan attacked Xia Cai, why isn't the lord worried?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "I have already made preparations in Xia Cai. ”

That's right! Zhang Yi had already prepared when he came to Huainan. Wang Jian can be said to be the first group of people to be summoned to guard against Cao Cao, and Zhang Yi stubbornly pressed Wang Jian to Xia Cai for two years. In the past two years, the others have been promoted not only by three levels, but also by one or two levels, only Wang Jian is still standing still, and he still gives Cai Ling.

And what about Wang Jian! Seeing that he was promoted, he was not in a hurry. To be honest, he is also anxious, but he doesn't have any special credit in Xia Cai, and his tired work can't reach the level of promotion. And he can be regarded as offending the family of Jiujiang County, when he led the troops to loot the counties, how many families were ruined. And there are so many people, how can you not know that he did it!

So he had to have merit that could convince people to avoid impeachment.

Therefore, he is most looking forward to Cao Cao coming to attack, so that he can rely on his ability to make great achievements. But after waiting for two years, Cao Cao didn't come. Now that it's finally here, he's overjoyed.

He hurriedly found Zhu Wu and said to him: "Xia Cai's defense, I alone is enough!" However, I am worried about the water village, if the water village is lost, Xiahou Yuan will cross the river to attack Shouchun. You immediately went to the water village and defended the water village instead of Xu Sheng. If Xu Sheng came back, he would ask him to pay more attention to the upper reaches of the Huaishui River, and not let Xiahou Yuan find an opportunity to cross the river. ”

"No!" After Zhu Wu agreed, he immediately went up to take people to Shuizhai and began to organize defense.

Xiahou Yuan came to Xia Cai City, but saw that Xia Cai City was already strictly guarded. However, Xiahou Yuan didn't care, he had already expected it, because on the way he already knew that Xia Cai had found them.

Xiahou Yuan didn't come by himself this time, he also brought Liu Fu and Cao Xiu with his subordinates. Liu Fu was originally appointed by Cao Cao as the assassin of Yangzhou. However, before he took office, Zhang Yi occupied Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, blocking the road and making it impossible for him to take office. So this time Liu Fu came with the army, that is, after Xiahou Yuan occupied Cai and even Shouchun, he could handle government affairs.

As for Cao Xiu, he came to experience it with him. The last time I followed Cao Ren, I was injured in Runan. Now that his injuries have healed, he immediately applied to go to the front line, and Cao Cao asked him to follow Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan said to Liu Fu: "Lord Liu Yuanying, do you know about Cai Ling Wang Jian now?" ”

Liu Fu said: "This Wang Jian is also Zhang Yi's old subordinate, and Zhang Yi arrived at his subordinate when he first arrived in Shouchun. When Zhang Yi seized other counties in Jiujiang County, he was his subordinates. Zhang Yi used him to entangle the robbers, loot the counties, and let many families die, which allowed Zhang Yi to occupy all of Jiujiang County, and even robbed the Dongcheng of Xiapi and the nest of Lujiang, you must know that the nest nominally belonged to Sun Ce at that time, and the head of the nest was Zhou Yu (Zhou Yu has held different official positions in history, he served as the head of the nest, but when he took refuge with Sun Ce, he was in Liyang, but Liyang is the county of Jiujiang County. So it can only be when Zhou Yu goes to the county, which means hanging the seal and leaving, and then occupies Liyang and waits for Sun Ce). ”

Xiahou Yuan was stunned, it turned out that there was such a story, "This Wang Jian can harm more than ten counties, and he is also a rare talent!" ”
