Of course, later we all knew that Yuan Shu's side failed. Gongsun Zhan defeated the boundary bridge, Yuan Shu lost the general Sun Jian, and Tao Qian was the one who suffered the least loss among these people.

Later, Cao Cao gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, and his father Cao Song wanted to defect, and Cao Cao sent Ying Shao to pick him up.

At this time, the differences came out, "Three Kingdoms: Emperor Wu Benji", "Later Han Shu Cao Teng Biography", "Later Han Shu Ying Shao Biography" all said that Tao Qian was the real murderer, and "Shishuo Xinyu" even listed what happened. In the "Book of Wu", it is written that Tao Qian sent people to protect Cao Cao in order to confront Cao Cao, but the result was not a person.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to set off the image of Tao Qian's good man, he even created a Zhang Min.

Because the records are different, this public case has been entangled, and the historians have always believed that the former is a historical fact, and the latter is just because Tao Qian and Sun Jian have a good relationship, so Tao Qian was whitewashed.

But there are still many people who talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which affects many people.

So what does this public case have to do with Xiaopei? In fact, Xiao Pei was occupied when Liu Bei rescued Tao Qian, and since then it has always been a bridgehead to defend against Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao does not conquer here, he will not be able to attack Xuzhou.

Zhang Yi stayed in Xiaopei for a while, and then asked Shi Qian to sneak into the city with the scouts to collect information about Liu Bei. Two days later, the time shifted and Liu Bei was forced by Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao's army in Yuzhou, and he did not dare to move easily. Moreover, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to guard Xiapi, and he and Zhang Fei guarded Xiaopei, with few soldiers and horses, more than enough defense, and insufficient offense.

After getting such information, Zhang Yi was also relieved, as long as everything went according to the development of history. I can also use my familiarity with history to accumulate some family foundation. Although he now has three generals under his command, only Di Qing himself can lead troops to fight. But Di Qing is just a Dubo, and if he wants to be promoted, he still needs to fight a few more battles.

Zhang Yi continued to set off and headed for Huainan. To the south of Xiaopei is Jiujiang County in Huainan, and Yuan Shu is in Shouchun City in Jiujiang County. Shouchun is the county seat, but because Yuan Shu has been entrenched here all these years, his pseudo-palace was also built in Shouchun.

Two years ago, Shouchun was breached, Yuan Shu escaped, survived, and reoccupied Shouchun.

It's just that now Shouchun is no longer as prosperous as before, there are hungry people everywhere, and there are not many soldiers defending the city. Yuan Shu wanted to go to Qingzhou several times, but he was stopped and had to return to Shouchun.

Shi Qian led people to explore Yuan Shu's traces all the way, and finally found Yuan Shu who had just returned to Shouchun. immediately reported back to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi immediately waved his troops to Shouchun.

When Zhang Yi came to the outside of Shouchun City, looking at the listless soldiers in the city, he called Di Qing over: "You led the Qinwei Tun to attack in this battle, this battle may not be fierce, but how many people our army loses depends on your ability." ”

Di Qing said solemnly: "Don't worry, general, I will definitely attack Shouchun." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, noncommittal. Although Shouchun was repaired by Yuan Shu, the city is high and deep, but now it has been dilapidated a lot, not to mention that the city wall has collapsed in several places, and even the city gate is half broken.

How could such a city be able to withstand a large army? It's just that no one around wants this territory. Cao Cao was busy cleaning up the surroundings, Sun Ce was busy stabilizing Jiangdong, and Liu Bei had just arrived in Xuzhou, and he didn't want to live in Shouchun, a place full of hungry people.

That's why Yuan Shu was able to survive here, which also gave Zhang Yi a chance, maybe he could take Shouchun or Jiujiang County as the foundation!

At this time, in Shouchun City, Yuan Shu also received a report from the soldiers: "Your Majesty, thousands of people have appeared outside the city, under the banner of Zhang Zi, I don't know who the soldiers and horses are!" ”

Yuan Shu was already sick in bed at this time, and since he was kicked out of Shouchun, everyone had betrayed him, only the general Ji Ling was still by his side. Qiao Rui died in battle, Zhang Xun took refuge in Sun Ce, Liu Xun entrenched in Lujiang, Lei Bo and Chen Lan fell into the grass, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the army of tens of thousands.

Among the civil officials, only those who were coerced by him, those who were killed by him, and those who escaped escaped, only one Xu Xuan who was coerced by him was still by his side, but Xu Xuan was upright and did not serve him. It can be said that he has reached the point of exhaustion, and the market Yuan Shu is wondering, why did he fall to such a point?

He didn't have an answer. People are like this, it is difficult to see their mistakes, Yuan Shu is used to being arrogant, and he never knows what he is wrong about.

Ji Ling bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will go to repel the enemy, and then come to serve Your Majesty." ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand weakly: "Go!" ”

Ji Ling bowed and withdrew, then walked towards the city wall, and instructed as he went: "Mobilize all the archers to the city gate, and don't let the enemy attack through the city gate!" ”

"Yes!"

Ji Ling's heart was very calm, he knew that Shouchun City couldn't block the enemy's impact at all, and all he could do now was to defend as much as possible. They also returned to Shouchun yesterday, if they were given a few more days, maybe he would be able to block the city gates, but it was too late now. None of these soldiers had regained their strength, and they couldn't do anything to grab heavy objects and block the door.

And the rolling wood and stones used to defend the city before have also been destroyed. The entire Shouchun was looted by Lu Bu, and he couldn't find something valuable.

If the enemy is really powerful, then today may be his death date! Ji Ling is not afraid of death, he has lived enough, everyone has left Yuan Shu, only he persevered to the end, death may be a relief for him.

Outside the city, Di Qing was already standing at the edge of the bow and arrow range with his personal guards, just waiting for Zhang Yi to give an order and attack the city gate.

The other soldiers were also ready, and Zhang Yi immediately waved the command flag: "Siege!" ”

With this dilapidated city gate, you don't need to use a ladder to attack the city, just attack it directly.

Di Qing rushed to the front with his personal guards, and when Yuan Jun on the city wall saw it, he immediately began to shoot arrows. But unfortunately, because of hunger, the arrows they shoot are fluttering. Di Qing led the people, and quickly rushed to the door, and when he arrived at the door, Di Qing waved his hand, and the guards immediately stacked shields on top of each other, forming a shield wall, and slowly moved forward.

The archers inside the gate couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they looked at the moving shield wall, it was the first time they had seen such a formation.

But Di Qing was not dumbfounded, he looked ahead from the gap in the shield, and with a wave of his hand, the shield wall separated, revealing a few small gaps in the middle, revealing a few archers inside, and immediately shot the arrow, and then the shield closed again. The arrow hit the Yuan army in the city, causing the other Yuan troops to retreat.

When Di Qing saw the enemy fleeing, he immediately shouted: "Rush! ”

The shield wall was immediately torn apart, and more than twenty sword and shield soldiers rushed into the city.
