At the end of May, Jiang Qin's army entered Wu County from Songjiang and followed Songjiang to Lou County. The county commander of Lou County saw that a naval army came to Songjiang, and the banner of the naval army was all over the sky, blocking the entire river, and the county commander of Louxian County knew that he was not an opponent, so he hurriedly transferred the naval army to the shore.

Seeing that the boats piled up in the river were all waving a large flag with the character of Jiang, the county commander of Lou County did not know who the soldiers and horses were, and they did not dare to act rashly. Jiang Qin wanted to knock down Lou County, but the strategist persuaded him beside him: "The lord let the vanguard attack Wu County, but did not let the vanguard attack Lou County, more than one thing is better than one less, not to mention that the county order has never obstructed it!" ”

After thinking about it, Jiang Qin asked the envoy to go ashore and sent a letter to the county commander of Lou County. I wrote in my heart that they were not water thieves, but the fleet of Jiang Qin, the left vanguard of the southern expedition under the Xuzhou Mu!

As soon as he heard Jiang Qin's name, who in this generation didn't know? This is not the first time Jiang Qin has appeared on this river, and it is not the first time that Yu Zhixian has dealt with him. In the past, when he appeared, there were not so many ships, they were not so big, they were far from being so magnificent, but now it really seems to be on the backstage.

Jiang Qin wrote a letter to persuade the county commander to go out of the city and surrender, but the county commander knew that he was not the opponent of Jiang Qin's nearly 10,000 water army, so he hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, and gave Jiang Qin a banquet on the edge of the Songjiang River.

Then he sent some food and salary to Jiang Qin, and persuaded him to lead his troops to attack Wu County, and if he could break through Wu County, he would naturally surrender. So, Jiang Qin was sent away in a few words.

When Jiang Qin led the naval army to Taihu Lake, Gan Ning also beat the surrounding counties all the way, and as soon as he heard the bells of the boat, the people around him knew that it was Gan Ning, a thief from the Yangtze River. So there was not much resistance along the way, and when the two of them surrounded the county seat of Wu County, Zang Ba led the troops to arrive outside the city of Wu County, and the soldiers and horses surrounded Wu County by three roads could not be passed.

The month of May soon passed day by day, and just as Tao Ying ordered the end of the war at the beginning of June, a letter suddenly came from the north, and messengers rushed to Wu County day and night to Tao Ying.

At night, bonfires burned around, and it was a bit hot in June, but fortunately after the heavy rains, the heat wave dissipated a lot. In the tent, Zang Ba and Tao Ying sat by a bonfire, and Tao Ying held a letter in his hand.

The letter has not yet been opened, it is a letter written by Sun Kang of Ping'an County, and he wrote in his heart that Yuan Shu gathered his soldiers and horses in the Huaiyin area in May, and he didn't know what it was.

Huaiyin, originally the territory of the Xiapi State, was later returned to the Xuzhou pottery merchants. Yuan Shu gathered troops and horses in Huaiyin, did he want to attack the territory of the potters?

Just when Tao Ying didn't understand what was going on, in the camp on the outskirts of Wu County, where the rain was still dripping, Tao Ying received another express letter from Yu Ban, which still happened in May.

At the beginning of May, Lü Bu, who was stationed in the south of Peiguo, suddenly transferred troops from Peiguo to return to the territory of Lu, and I don't know who ordered him to do so, and I don't know why Lü Bu suddenly returned.

Lu Bu returned to Lu State, and Yuan Shu's army went north, did they want to attack North Xuzhou?

This was the first thought that appeared in Tao Ying's mind after receiving the two pieces of information. According to historical records, Liu Bei was ordered by Cao Cao in the name of Emperor Han to attack Yuan Shu. So Liu Bei led his troops south, and at this time, Lu Bu took the opportunity to seize Xuzhou, and established himself as Xuzhou Mu in Xuzhou!

He has come to this world, will Lu Bu really betray himself to attack Northern Xuzhou? Tao Ying didn't want to believe it, but thinking about Lu Bu's consistent viciousness, Tao Ying had to believe it!

The rain in the south still did not mean to stop, at this time, Wu Jing, with the help of Sun Ce, the army conquered Moling, Hushu, Jurong, Jiangcheng and other places all the way, and at this time the army had gathered under the city of Qu'a.

The south is very chaotic, the north is not stable, and only the two cities of Wu County and Wuxi have not been captured. With so much news, Tao Ying didn't know what the situation in Pengcheng was after a month, if he lost Pengcheng and other places because of the land of Jiangdong, everything seemed to be not worth it, so Tao Ying wanted to give up Wu County and go north to return to Pengcheng.

Just as Tao Ying was about to leave, at night, a letter suddenly shot out of the county seat of Wu County, and the letter was shot out by the Lu family of Wu County. The Lu family has never had a chance in Wu County, and this night, Yan Baihu transferred a member of their family to guard the west gate, so the Lu family was busy asking for three ten minutes at night, with torches as a signal, to take them into the city from the west gate.

After getting the news, Tao Ying was very happy, so Zang Ba hurriedly ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and make rice, and then prepared to attack the city at night.

In the middle of June, at night, three watches. The rain in Wu County stopped, and suddenly the torch on the west gate shook three times, and Tao Ying wanted to enter the city, but suddenly he thought, this matter is not good, I am afraid that there is fraud.

I used this trick at the beginning, I don't know how many times I won, if I rushed into it and fell into an ambush, how could I have to compensate for the loss? So Tao Ying ordered an unknown lieutenant general to lead his troops into the West Gate. After the west gate was opened, the deputy general led 500 soldiers into the west gate.

After entering the west gate of Wu County, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were busy leading them to the government to kill. Seeing that there was really no fraud inside, Zang Ba led his troops to kill Wu County.

Approaching the city, Zang Ba personally led the troops to arrest Yan Baihu, and the rest of the men and horses went to the other three gates to open the city gate. The battle lasted until ten minutes of dawn, and after the day gradually dawned, Tao Ying also controlled the entire Wu County.

After dawn, Tao should post a list to reassure the people, stipulating that no one is allowed to move the house, and anyone who violates the regulations will be killed. In the dark, those water thief army who took the opportunity to rob the people under the guise of exterminating Yan Baihu was reported, Tao Ying ignored the face of Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, and beheaded nearly 300 people in front of the Wuxian County Ya, including more than 10 people such as centurions.

This beheading allowed Tao Ying to quickly gain the hearts of the people in Wu County. The people's hearts have returned, and the people are running around to tell each other, when this Yan Baihu ruled Wu County, he did not abuse the people, so a good official came, and the people were naturally happy.

stabilized Wu County, but accidentally left Yan Baihu, and in the dark night, Yan Baihu gave up his family and disguised himself as a soldier and fled from the east gate.

Tao Ying searched Wu County for a whole day and disappeared without any trace of him, Zang Ba knew that the situation in the north was in crisis, and hurriedly persuaded Tao Ying to hurry up and go north. Tao Ying hurriedly began to prepare for the appointment of a new Wu County Taishou.

The name Wu County is very unfamiliar, Tao Ying is still used to what later generations called Suzhou, so the first thing Tao Ying did after capturing Wu County was to rename Wu County to Suzhou County, and Wu County to Suzhou City.

After capturing Suzhou, Tao Ying renamed the big water lake next to Suzhou as Taihu Lake, and then built the southern water division base here - Taihu Lake Water Division.

According to the agreement, Tao Ying transferred Chen Deng as the Taishou of Suzhou, Wei Jing as the governor of Suzhou, and Jiang Qin as the commander of the Taihu Lake Water Division. In addition, Tao Ying assigned Qu Abei's Dantu to Suzhou, so Suzhou had the addition of the general Sun Guan, and Chen Deng was originally a general who was good at guarding, so Tao Ying was still very satisfied with this match.

A week after the capture of Suzhou, the county commander of Lou County also came to surrender. Tao Ying still ordered him to take charge of Lou County, and the county commander of Lou County wrote a letter to Xu Gong, who was stationed in Youquan, but Xu Gong was unwilling to come and surrender.

It turned out that this Xu Gong was originally the Taishou of Wu County, but after Yan Baihu occupied Wu County, he could only be stationed in Youquan. He didn't come to surrender, and Tao Ying didn't take it to heart, now is not the territory of the competition, but it is the king to return to the north as soon as possible.

When Tao Ying left Suzhou City and passed through Wuxi, Yan Yu was still holding on to Wuxi City at this time. seems to have received help from the masters, and Xu Sheng is always unable to attack.
