Yang Hong is still good, guess is reliable, if you don't break Yang Xi's army in the shortest possible time, every extra day, Yang Xi's governance in Jiujiang will be stable.

Yang Xi never wanted to destroy Yuan Shu directly, he didn't besiege the city at all, you have to leave, you can do it at any time, the key is where to go.

As long as you leave the city, it doesn't matter where you go, it is useless, unless you go east to Sun Ce's territory.

That's better, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, will Sun Ce fight or receive it when the time comes?

Who is the master and who is the second after receiving?

It is because Yuan Shu will not go to Sun Ce's territory unless he has no last resort.

Yang Xi camped in the north twenty miles, and preventing stealing camps is an important point to consider when camping, so Yang Xi's camps actually have two.

The former is an empty camp, and the latter is the real camp.

Moreover, Yang Xi ordered the spy battalion of the three dogs to take turns to stare at the four city gates after nightfall, and once it was determined that the opponent's army was dispatched, they would report back immediately, so that they could prepare early.

Sure enough, Yang Xi could guess that Yuan Shu was going to rob the camp, but he couldn't guess what day it was.

He didn't expect it to be tonight, fortunately, he was prepared, Yang Xi was woken up in his sleep, someone from the special service battalion rushed back, and someone went out of the city, about * about 1,000 people.

Yang Xi secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately he had this hand, so he immediately put on it and ordered the whole army to enter the combat state.

However, he said that Ji Ling led the troops to attack, and after traveling for more than 20 miles, he saw from a distance that the bonfire in Yang Xi's camp was about to be extinguished, and only some camps were still plugged with torches.

The whole camp was silent, and it seemed that the time was right, so he ordered the whole army to lurk, remove the horse rejection stakes, and rush to the camp.

rushed into the camp and opened the big tent to see that it was empty, there was no figure in half, and a sergeant had already come to report to Ji Ling.

"It's not good, you've been fooled, be careful of an ambush!"

According to reason, the ambush should be exhausted at this time, but Ji Ling didn't see the ambush either, so Ji Ling was puzzled.

Ji Ling sent people to investigate around, and the sergeant came back to report.

"General! There were no enemy troops, but for some reason, some of the tents were full of firewood and grass, and there was only dry firewood around the entire camp. ”

When Ji Ling heard this, he secretly said that it was bad, fortunately he found it early, at this time, if the other party wanted to light the fire, he was not afraid, the fire could not burn so quickly.

Ji Ling was right, but it was only within the scope of his knowledge.

On the periphery of the camp, Yang Xi ordered.

"Ignition!"

So the order to ignite was sent to all sides, and dozens of fire snakes sprang up, but this was started with black powder, and gunpowder was also sprinkled in the firewood and grass around the camp.

In just a few minutes, the fire was raging around the camp, accompanied by the sound of "clattering", and when Ji Ling reacted, he was already in the middle of a huge sea of fire.

The surrounding flames alone couldn't do much damage to Ji Lingjun, but Ji Ling suddenly found that between the camps on the ground, there seemed to be strips of black powder connected on the ground.

The next moment, something frightening happened, and the fire around it, as soon as it touched the powder on the ground, led the fire to the camp tent, and for a time, the camp was on fire, and the whole camp became a sea of fire.

Ji Ling shouted: "All of them break through to the outside of the fire circle!" ”

Without Ji Ling's order, all the sergeants had already rushed out of the fire circle, rushing out as fast as possible, and they could still survive, and when they burned a cup of tea, they were afraid that their lives would be gone.

Outside the camp, Yang Xi's soldiers and horses surrounded several layers, and those who surrendered were all exempted from death, and those who resisted were killed.

Ji Ling was really a fierce general, and when he rushed out, he was not damaged at all, and he found a random direction and killed outside.

But he single-handedly, what is the effect, there are already dozens of armor soldiers, surrounding him, just shooting crossbows from a distance, not close, Ji Ling was hit by several arrows, fell off the horse, and was caught alive in this way.

In one night, more than 7,000 people descended, almost all of them were captured alive, dozens of people who were too lucky, burned to death in the sea of fire, and hundreds of people who were shot to death, but they were stubborn, and their eyes could not see the form clearly.

In this case, what is the use of resisting, it is better to descend early.

Ji Ling was arrested, Yang Xi was more surprised, it turned out that Yuan Shu's subordinates were now the number one left, so wouldn't Yuan Shu become a loner.

In the medical team, the burned and shot wounded, rows of tents passed, and there were more than a dozen tents, all of which were wounded soldiers who had surrendered.

Yang Xi and Tai Shi Ci came to see Ji Ling, and Ji Ling was also surprised.

"General Ji, you take good care of your injuries, Childe has come to see your injuries last night, when General Ji fell into a coma, it was Childe who bandaged you personally."

Yang Xi said: "Under Yang Xi!" ”

Yang Xi had already probed Ji Ling's physical functions, and it turned out to be 97

Ji Ling couldn't move, and he had more than a dozen injuries all over his body, almost becoming a mummy.

"Thank you for the grace of the son not to kill, Ji Ling is unable to move, I hope you will forgive me!"

As soon as Yang Xi heard the joke, he generously said some good things, and then checked the injuries of some other wounded along the way, and some even personally instructed the hygienists to disinfect and so on.

Yang Xi is leisurely here, but Yuan Shu has become an ant on a hot pot.

"My lord! General Ji did not return at this time, but he was afraid that there would be less luck, and the lord still decided as soon as possible, and he would go east out of Jiujiang, and Lu Bu could be voted for in the north, and Sun Ce could be voted for in the south. And the lord has a jade seal on his body, if he uses it in exchange for a place to stay, because it is not a difficult thing. Changshi Yang Hong suggested again.

Thinking of the jade seal, Yuan Shu was a little sad, and now he understands that this thing can't afford a general.

At the beginning of April, Yuan Shu was defeated, led 3,000 remnants of soldiers, and went to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce saw that he returned the jade seal, and it was appropriate to return his father's old department, so he ordered him to garrison Tangyi County, according to Yang Xi in the west.

Yang Xi entered Liyang and ordered 15,000 ship guards to return to the ship from the new. Ordered Zulang to lead the department of 3,000 to be stationed in Jianyang County, and Yuan Shu was far away.

He also ordered Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci to guard Dongcheng and Zhongli counties to prevent Lu Bu. Cai Kao returned to the north of Lujiang County and guarded the banks of the Huai River with Liao Weibu.

Yang Xi ordered hundreds of Chen River boats to sail into the Huai River, cruising day and night, for both military and commercial purposes.

Since then, dozens of counties in the area south of the Huai River, Lujiang and Jiujiang counties have all been merged into the control area of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, leaving only Xuzhou and Guangling County to the east, which are in the hands of Lu Bu and Sun Ce respectively.

When the princes received the news and opened the map to look at it, they were all surprised, and before they knew it, Yang Xi, a businessman, actually controlled a huge area in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, almost dominating the south, and was about to annex all the other princes.

Sun Ce knows this feeling best, because he is under too much pressure at the moment, but Yang Xi made it look like he didn't want to send troops, and the soldiers and horses that had been gathered were dispersed by him to run his old business.

In mid-April, the construction of Shouchun Port, the first port of the Huai River, began on the north Huai River side of Jiujiang County.

Shouchun Port was built between Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and since then, the influence of Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has officially extended to the Central Plains.

Ruyang, which Yuan Shu gave up, naturally became Cao Cao's bag, and Sun Xiang persisted for several months, and finally died under Xiahoudun's butcher's knife.

In May, Cao Cao gained Ruyang, Yuan Shao abandoned his plan to invade Xudu, and Cao Cao finally had his hands free to deal with Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu.
