The forty-eighth chapter according to Hong Ze's strategy for Xuzhou

In a blink of an eye, it was the ninth year of Jian'an (204), and at the beginning of March, the spring breeze blew.

Zhang Yi did not hand over all the spring ploughing matters to Lu Su to manage, he personally took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and took a boat to Hongze Lake.

In one winter, Gan Ning's side sent back more than 50,000 people, plus 1,000 war horses. War horses are not so lucky, because they do not have the mass death if they are not adapted to the sea. Therefore, Gan Ning can only let those war horses that are adapted to the sea ship be transported back, and the others can only be put in Yangxin first.

Zhang Yi didn't want to go out by himself, but in the past few years, Liu Bei, who was preparing to deal with Cao Cao, seemed to have noticed something, and he honestly stayed in the Gushi area, developed silently, and had thousands of soldiers and horses under him, but he didn't fight with Cao Cao.

Zhang Yi is in a hurry! As soon as he sent people over, Liu Bei cried with him, wanted to pit his grain, grass and weapons, and even shamelessly asked for Zhang Yi's soldiers and horses.

Zhang Yi can also see it now, Liu Bei is trying to play a scoundrel! From this point, it can be seen that he should be a member of the Han family, and the hand of the scoundrel is a fight with his ancestor Liu Bang!

Zhang Yi didn't point at Liu Bei anymore, he found that he was inferior to himself by pointing at anyone. Liu Bei is now obscenely developed, and the Yuan family is still a mess, and Fu Zhu is busy reconciling the contradictions between the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, as well as the contradictions between the trial, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu.

The contradictions between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are still relatively easy to reconcile, but the contradictions between the judges, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu are not easy to reconcile. This has something to do with their character, they are honest and tough. The battle of Guandu was a decisive battle that he strongly advocated. Yuan Shao was angry with him after his defeat, and was rescued by Feng Ji to be exonerated from the crime, but he was not reused.

Xin commented, this person has big sections, but he is not informal. When the trial was framed by Meng Dai, Xin Ping and Guo Tu both agreed, which led to the loss of power in the trial and the suspicion of framing colleagues.

Then Xin Ping also has a younger brother, Xin Bi, who can be said to be inconsistent. When he was young, he surrendered to Cao Cao and killed his whole family, which was a big loss. However, he was known for his toughness, and later held the scepter of Emperor Wei Ming, blocked Sima Yi's army in the camp, and did not allow them to fight with Zhuge Liang, which was praised by history.

Guo Tu is a villain, with some little cleverness, but no great wisdom. He and Yan Liang attacked the white horse together, causing Yan Liang to be beheaded by Guan Yu; Cao Cao's sneak attack on Wuchao, and it was he who advocated the sneak attack on Cao Ying, and after the failure, he framed Zhang He and Gao Ran, causing Zhang He and Gao Ran to rebel. He had always been at odds with Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and if he hadn't been in the way, Fu Zhu would have already unified all the forces of the Yuan clan against Cao Cao.

One is the trial match who can't put the sand in his eyes, the other is Guo Tu who provokes from it, Xin Ping, the only good one, and a younger brother who is dedicated to Cao Cao by his side, if these three people can be integrated together, it will be strange.

So Zhang Yi has no choice, with pig teammates like Liu Bei and Yuan, what else can he say? I can only go on it myself.

After arriving at Hongze Lake, Zhang Yi immediately began to send troops out to plunder Xuzhou.

"With Tang and the north of Shanghai, Li Jing went north to Huaiyin, Shang Shitu went north to Huaipu, Jiang Qin attacked Hongxian, Zhou Tai attacked Xu County, Lü Meng attacked Xuxian County, and I personally raised troops to capture Xiang." Zhang Yi kept giving orders, and sent seven troops at once.

Tang He, Li Jing, Shang Shifu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Lü Meng all had their own troops, and Zhang Yi did not give them additional troops, they just plundered, strengthened the momentum, attracted Cao Cao's attention, and did not let him focus on the north, so as to give Fu Zhu more time to deal with internal affairs, and then repair the soldiers, and Cao Cao could have the strength to fight.

And he himself has to do a big thing, a big thing that is enough to make Cao Cao divert his attention.

The first to reach the goal was Tang He, who boarded the ship directly from Yandu, and with the help of the navy's large ships, landed on the coast of Haixi, and directly raided the county seat of Haixi. In less than two days, Haixi County was taken. After taking Haixi, Tang He immediately sent troops to sweep the surrounding villages, drove everyone to the sea, and then transported them to Yandu by sea boat, and the whole operation was completed in less than ten days. Haixi became an empty county, and the tens of thousands of people who lived here were looted.

The second one who succeeded was Li Jing! Last year, the Huai River flooded once, and then the river was changed, directly enclosing the Huaiyin to the south bank of the Huai River. Li Jing attacked Huaiyin once last year, but because Li Jun's army was on the old river, he could not block Huaishui, and the old river did not dry up, so he only plundered some people and came back.

Zhang Yi also benefited a lot from last year's river change, because the river moved dozens of miles to the north, which is equivalent to increasing Zhang Yi's territory by dozens of miles. The only bad thing is that when the old river has not dried up, it is a little difficult to get over, and Li Jing has been building embankments last year to prevent the old river from being restored here. If the lower reaches of the Huaishui River become two rivers, the amount of water in the river will not be enough for large ships to sail in, and it will be much more difficult to resist Cao Cao.

After a year of drying up, the old river finally dried up, and Li Jing drove straight into it and captured Huaiyin in one fell swoop. Although most of the powerful families in Huaiyin have evacuated here, there is only a city with only civilians left, and even the officials here have fled.

The third to complete the goal is still the master and apprentice, although Huaipu is still in the north of Huaishui, but the river of Huaishui is turned under the city of Huaipu, not even a mile away from Huaipu, Huaipu directly used Huaishui to lead a moat out. Master Shang and apprentice directly broke into the moat with Li Jun's penetration, and then used a long ladder to storm Huaipu City at night.

Huaishui in the upper reaches of Hongze Lake only after Zhongli was diverted, Huailing and Xuyi circled to the south of Huaishui, Jiang Qin wanted to attack Hongxian to cross Huaishui, here need Xu Sheng's army to help, directly from Huaishui into Hushui, and then into Tuoshui, you know that you have arrived in Hongxian. Hongxian obviously did not expect Jiang Qin's sudden attack, and as soon as he opened the city gate in the morning, he was seized by a group of people, and then the entire county fell.

The situation in Xu County is similar, it can only be said that Zhang Yi has not attacked for two years, which makes these people forget that they are enemies to the south! Zhang Yi's action this time was very sudden, he sent troops directly from the military camp outside, and directly followed the Huaishui into the water village, without alarming anyone at all. Those eyeliners in Shouchun didn't even know that Zhang Yi was out of Shouchun. When he arrived at Shuizhai and gave the order, he set off, but fortunately Zhang Yi's subordinates trained well, otherwise the news would have been leaked.
