The seventeenth round, Chen Deng retreated to defend Sheyang
After taking Gaoyou, Zhang Yi immediately sent Lü Meng north to put pressure on Chen Deng from the east of Ping'an County. He himself will continue to sit in Gaoyou, and he will continue to go north when Buqi arrives.
Buqi finished the handover, and it was already a few days later when he arrived in Guangling County. It will take some time for him to take over the government affairs of several counties, and it will take a long time for him to take over Gaoyou.
Master Shang led his troops to attack Yuguo, and at first the resistance within Yuguo was very fierce. However, a few days later, the soldiers in the country were completely lost, and they were easily defeated by Master Shang's apprentices.
These kings surnamed Liu also have a weakness, that is, they can't have too many soldiers. This is also a decision of the Han family, their country is indeed theirs, but the minister of state needs to be appointed by the Han family and is used to monitor them. Moreover, there were not many soldiers in the country, and the Han family was afraid that they would rebel, so they limited the number of their soldiers. Even if after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the local government had military power, and these kings surnamed Liu did not have military power and could not increase the number of soldiers.
Officially based on this, Master Shang and apprentice captured the country so easily. Master Shang also ignored this, at that time, he only saw that there were many defenders in the city, so he did not choose to attack the city, but after the attack, he found that Yuguo was much easier to attack than Guangling and Jiangdu.
The attitude of the king and his ministers was indeed very tough, and they were even ready to die for their country. But the determination to see death as if they were going home does not mean that they can defend the city, just like Shi Kefa in the future, he also has the determination to die, but he does not have the ability to defend the city. If Shi Kefa had Zhang Xun's ability, the Qing army would not be able to break through Yangzhou even if it died.
According to what Zhang Yi said, Master Shang and his apprentice directly sent someone to send King Yu and his prime minister to Xuchang. Xuchang was too far away, and he didn't bother to send it over, so he asked people to send them out of the country, sent them to Dongyang County, and then sent them to Huaishui to let them enter Xuyi.
Li Jing led the troops into Hailing, and soon conquered the county seat of Hailing, but Hailing County was too big, he divided the troops into several parts, one part inspected the Tonghai area, and one part guarded Hailing County, and then he himself directly led people to the north, and constantly reconnoitred along the way to prevent the enemy from entering.
Half a month later, Li Jing finally set up a camp at the border with Yandu County, and then informed Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi received Li Jing's military report and immediately set off for the north.
Buqi has taken over the government affairs of Gaoyou, and Zhang Yi can already leave. However, because Li Jing was not in place yet, he did not leave. Li Jing has now arrived at the border of Yandu County, forming a line of defense with Tang He and Lü Meng, and Zhang Yi is not afraid that Chen Deng will infiltrate south.
Zhang Yi directly joined Tang He and came to the city of Ping'an County.
Chen Deng also felt difficult when he saw Zhang Yi's army pressing. Zhang Yi is not Sun Quan, Sun Quan is just a rich kid, and his own ability to fight is not very good. But Zhang Yi is different, Zhang Yi has been fighting for several years, and he has never heard of him failing. There is no vanity under the so-called fame, if Zhang Yi does not have anything outstanding, how can he have today's power?
Chen Deng has been very unwell and comfortable in the past few days, and his stomach hurts very much, which has reached the point where it seriously affects his thinking. His subordinates looked at Chen Deng's red face and were very worried, "Envoy, now that you are in poor health, and Zhang Yibing is coming to the city, we are all worried that we will not be able to defend the city." Heian City is shallow, and without your command, we may not be able to keep peace. ”
Chen Deng took a deep breath, "Now that we are in a time of national crisis, how can we lose a big because of a small thing?" ”
"It's just that Jun is seriously ill, and we have the heart to go to the country, and we can't stop Zhang Yi."
Chen Deng supported his body and wanted to get up. But I didn't want to be dizzy, so I fell on top of several cases and passed out.
"Envoy! Envoy! "Chen Deng's subordinates panicked, Chen Deng is their backbone, and they fell down at this time, but what should I do?
Several subordinates gathered together and summed up, without Chen Deng, they would definitely not be able to hold Ping'an City, and they couldn't stay here and wait for death!
"Ping An can't be defended, but Sheyang is high and deep, and it can resist Zhang thief."
"Peixian Hua Tuo's medical skills are superb, you can ask him to treat the king, as long as you make the king heal, Zhang Yi will not be troubled."
……
After several of Chen Deng's subordinates Zhang Yi finished, they immediately divided into several waves and withdrew from Ping'an County overnight. The first wave first escorted Chen Deng back to Sheyang, and went to invite Hua Tuo. The second wave took most of the soldiers to escort grain and grass materials, and took away everything that could be taken away, and burned those who could not be taken away when the third wave left. The third wave was broken by Danyang's elite soldiers, and set fire to the city, causing trouble for Zhang Yi.
In the middle of the night, a fire broke out in the city. Zhang Yi immediately asked his soldiers to attack the city, and the defenders in the city had fled, and only the people were fighting the fire.
Zhang Yi was high in the city, condescending, commanding the soldiers to fight the fire.
"Tang He, you lead people to demolish all the houses on the periphery of the fire area to stop the spread of the fire."
"Lu Meng, you take people deep into the fire area, rescue supplies, fetch water nearby, and let the people leave the place where the flames are strong."
"Wei Wentong, you take people to inspect the area that is not on fire, to prevent the gangsters from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and if there is any troublemaker, kill immediately!"
"No!" After the three of them received the task, they immediately led the troops and began to get busy.
Zhang Yi was at the head of the city, constantly adjusting according to the wind direction and fire, and finally controlled the fire before dawn. But it was impossible to put out the fire, all he could do was lose less. Zhang Yi set up another camp outside the city for the homeless to live in temporarily. Then, while the fire was being cleared, the people were led to cut down trees and rebuild houses in the cleared area.
Zhang Yi's actions were praised by the people of Ping'an County, and most of the people were willing to cooperate with Zhang Yi's orders, and only a few were making trouble in secret. For these people, Zhang Yi will not be polite, these people are all Chen Deng's die-hard elements, of course, they must be eliminated quickly.
Zhang Yi stayed in Ping'an County for a month, and a lot of things have happened in this month.
Li Jing and Yandu County had a lot of battles, and the two sides robbed the grain that had not yet been harvested, although Li Jing had the upper hand, but because the scale of the battle was not large, he also grabbed hundreds of stones of grain.
Chen Deng was brought back to Sheyang and was healed by Hua Tuo. After Hua Tuo arrived, he was diagnosed, and said that it was caused by the use of fish jelly (similar to sashimi), so he prescribed a decoction, and after eating it, he vomited three liters of worms, and it was only after he got better. Chen Deng recovered his spirit a little, and immediately prepared for defense, he had no way to retreat, if he could no longer shoot the sun to defeat the enemy army, he could only go to Pengcheng to join his father.
Chen Deng improved, and Hua Tuo wanted to say goodbye, but was retained by Chen Deng. He now feels that he has not fully recovered, and he is about to fight again, and he is at peace with Hua Tuo by his side.
