After Zhang Yi appeased Li Jing, he gave him a new task and asked him to lead his troops to capture Hailing County. Hailing County is a large county, not that it has a large population, but its territory is very large, its county seat is in the west of today's Taizhou City, but the scope of jurisdiction extends to Nantong City, and the radius reaches more than 100 miles.

Guangling County is not the only big county in Hailing County, but also Gaoyou County and Yandu County are also big counties, but these two counties together are not as big as Hailing County. There are many county towns near such a large county, and the four counties of Yandu, Ping'an, Gaoyou, and Jiangdu are close to the north and south. Although most of Hailing is a coastal wasteland, the land here is still very fertile, and a large amount of farmland can be cultivated. There is also no shortage of water here, with several small rivers running through it for irrigation.

The reason why Zhang Yi wanted Li Jing to attack Hailing was actually to let Li Jing prevent someone from rescuing other counties through Hailing. Hailing is vast and sparsely populated, which is very suitable for concealed marches, and it is not very reassuring to hand it over to others Zhang Yi, but it is relieved to hand it over to Li Jing.

Zhang Yi gave Li Jing 5,000 men and horses, and then his monk and apprentice personally led a large army to attack Jiangdu County.

The city of Jiangdu County is not as tall as Guangling County, and after Zhang Yi arrived, he continued to launch a strong siege. Meng Liang Jiaozan led the army to attack in turn, and soon Jiangdu County was a little overwhelmed. Master Shang couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw that he was always almost able to capture it. He himself led his men to rush up and attacked the city in one fell swoop.

Zhang Yi was not only not happy when he saw Master Shang and his apprentices attacking the city, but was a little angry, and said to Wei Wentong: "There is courage but no strategy!" ”

Wei Wentong said: "Lao Shang and I are like this, we only have a handful of strength, and we all rely on these strengths to eat. ”

Zhang Yi shook his head helplessly, "It's good to let you read more books and learn more knowledge!" ”

Wei Wentong laughed and said: "We are all coarse, how can we read the book!" ”

Zhang Yi was speechless, these summoned people, their upper limit is their attributes, and it is basically impossible for them to break through the upper limit. Zhang Yi can only hope that the system will have a way, but from the current point of view, it seems that there is none.

After Master Shang and his apprentices climbed to the top of the city, with their height and strength, they quickly pushed more than a dozen defenders away, and let the soldiers behind them enter the city, forming a small battle formation. Master Shang and apprentice quickly gained a firm foothold in the city with this small battle array. More and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city, and under the leadership of Master Shang's apprentices, they scattered the defenders, gradually occupied the city tower, and then opened the city gate and let Zhang Yi enter the city.

After taking Jiangdu, Master Shang pressed the family that stopped the resistance in front of Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi asked coldly: "You help Chen Deng so much, have you thought about it now?" ”

The people of the family were still very tough, and they didn't say a word of surrender. Zhang Yi prefers a soft-boned family, such a tough person, of course, he won't keep it, he waved his hand, "The main offender is strangled, the family property is confiscated, and the side branches and slaves are punished as slavery!" ”

Zhang Yi doesn't like to kill, but some people have to kill! Leaving too many people who oppose him will only cause trouble for yourself. And it is also good to kill properly, at least let those who are hostile to him know that he will kill too.

After taking Jiangdu, Zhang Yi asked people to come over to manage the government affairs of Guangling, Jiangdu, and Tangyi, and let Master Shang continue to attack Yuguo, "If the king of Yuguo doesn't want to surrender, after catching him, send him to Xuchang, I think it's better to send a few more kings to Cao Cao!" ”

These kings surnamed Liu are really not easy to mess with, they can't be killed, if you kill them, you will wait to argue with the big man. But if you don't kill him, stay in the realm, and he will be against you. Zhang Yi could only send him to Xuchang to cause trouble for Cao Cao.

Although Master Shang didn't know why, he chose to obey the order.

Zhang Yi himself led the rest of the army straight to Gaoyou, and the army outside Gaoyou was now commanded by Lü Meng. It was the first time that Lu Meng had commanded so many troops, five thousand people! It's exciting to think about. He didn't get such reuse from Sun's side, but he got it from Zhang Yi.

Lu Meng has always wanted to be famous, his personality is very similar to Han Xin, when he was young, he wanted to get ahead. Han Xin took refuge in the Chu Overlord, and he took refuge in the Little Overlord, but unlike Han Xin, Lu Meng felt that he was very lucky, because he had Han Xin's example to learn from. After arriving in Shouchun, he found that Zhang Yi, the lord, attached great importance to knowledge and collected all the books he could collect.

In order to do what he liked, Lu Meng was also looking for books to read, although he didn't seek to understand much at first, but he found that as long as he read more, he could still understand a lot of truths. Lu Meng is not studying alone, Jiang Qin, who also works in Shouchun, is also studying. He and Zhou Tai served in Shouchun and guarded Shouchun's safety. But Shouchun is very safe, he is very idle, and he wants to find something to do in his spare time. He heard that Lu Meng was studying, so he followed it, and then the two began to help each other and formed a reading group.

After Zhu Zhi was transferred, Lu Meng was speculating about why he would be entrusted with the important task, but he couldn't figure it out, so he attributed this to studying.

After Zhang Yi arrived at Gaoyou, he saw the books in Lu Meng's military tent and praised them very much: "Yes, it's always good to read more books." But I don't think we have time to read, and tomorrow we will start the siege. ”

Lu Meng didn't understand what Zhang Yi meant, but he still obediently went to prepare for the siege, "It seems that there are still too few books to read!" ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Yi gathered his troops and horses and began to attack the city.

Gaoyou City is about the same as Jiangdu City, Gaoyou's territory is too large, Zhu Zhi and Lu Meng grabbed Gaoyou's grain first, so it took a lot of time. Zhang Yi didn't care about Gaoyou's grain this time, as long as Gaoyou was captured, the grain would be his own.

When Zhang Yi began to attack the city, Lu Meng was particularly active, he was still only a fierce general, and he was only in the stage of rushing and fighting for the battle.

However, there are many soldiers under his command, and there is no need for any strategy, just attack the city directly.

After being besieged for more than ten days, the people in the city were already panicking, and they watched the soldiers outside the city harvest their food, and they had long wanted to go out of the city to fight. But they were all organized, so many people complained, and after waiting for more than ten days, many people began to have different intentions, and they began to make trouble when they attacked the city outside the city.

Gaoyou was easily defeated, and Zhang Yi saw those who were helping inside, these were some small families, they had no other requirements, they just wanted to have the status of a big family. Zhang Yi rewarded some of the land, slaves and even female dependents and wealth of the great family to these people, and those who were obedient would be rewarded, and those who were disobedient could only die.
