This time, when Zhou Yu withdrew from Lingyang, tens of thousands of people in the city were forcibly moved, and all the materials in the city were transferred, leaving Liu Qi with an empty city, if it wasn't for the fear that Wei Yan would lead the army to cover up, he might set fire to the city and turn the entire county into rubble.

Later, Zhou Yu placed these tens of thousands of people in the southern part of Jing County, which was then desolate, and ordered each family to send out a male to build a new city as a strategic place to defend Liu Qi's army. Because Sun Ce had been named Marquis of Wu at that time, Zhou Yu gave this new city a name called An Wu. I hope that this city can make Wu Hou safe and make Wu Hou's great cause stable.

Let's not talk about Zhou Yu's construction of Anwu City, but it is said that after Wei Yan returned to the camp after the defeat, he immediately ordered people to strengthen his vigilance, for fear that Zhou Yu would send troops to attack, although when Liu Qi was leaving, Xu Shu and Jia Xu both told him that this time Zhou Yu would never attack him, but he was still uneasy, until the spies said that the entire Lingyang City was full of birds and birds, proving that it was already an empty city, Wei Yan dared to lead the army to Lingyang City again.

Although he did see the city gate wide open, the city head was empty, and there were many birds and birds, he still couldn't believe that this was an empty city, for fear that he would fall for Zhou Yu's tricks and defeat him.

He has really seen Zhou Yu's strength recently, although this person has been defeated by Liu Qi one after another, but Wei Yan does not dare to underestimate it at all, because the defeat of others is the result of the calculation of top resourceful people such as Jia Xu and Xu Shu, even so, they did not find Zhou Yu's own flaws, and they can only work hard from Sun Ce, which shows how powerful this person is.

Later, Wei Yan was stationed outside the city for a whole day, and ordered spies to enter the city, inspected the inside and outside, and found that the city was indeed empty, so he entered the city boldly.

But now the city is empty, there is no food, grass and materials, even if you live in the city, you feel angry, Wei Yan can't help but sigh after patrolling the empty city: "The city of tens of thousands of people, now except for our army, is empty, Zhou Yu is really ruthless." It seems that in the future, we need to move people from other places into the city to solve this problem, but fortunately, there are many Huainan people in Lujiang County now, and they may be able to solve the urgent need, but this matter is civil affairs, and it is not something I can solve, and I need to report to Lord Thorn Shi to solve it. ”

Next, Wei Yan had no choice but to order people to transport grain and grass from Pengze first, and then temporarily move hundreds of families from Pengze and nearby villages, so that this city was at least not an empty city, and then led troops to carry out a tight defense.

And just a few days later, Gan Ning and Pang Tong also led 15,000 people to Hulin Harbor near Lingyang to station, and they were horns with Lingyang City, which made Wei Yan's heart feel a little calm.

At this time, Liu Qi was also very happy after getting Yixian, because this not only pushed his territory forward by hundreds of miles, but also obtained Lingyang himself, which completely lifted the threat of Lujiang, and then threatened Sun Ce's many ports downstream.

In addition, Liu Qi also won nearly 10,000 Danyang elite soldiers in Yixian County for nothing. These 10,000 elite soldiers are naturally from the hands of the original Danyang County Lieutenant and Yi County Magistrate Quan Rou.

Originally, Liu Qi thought that it would definitely take a big battle to take Yixian County this time, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu would make Quan Rou surrender directly with just a letter.

It turned out that when Dong Zhuo was in politics, Quan Rou wanted to resign and go into hiding, but Dong Zhuo did not allow it.

It turned out that Dong Zhuo thought that Quan Rou was clearly about to resign, but he was actually opposing himself, so he ordered someone to put Quan Rou on death row, but Jia Xu saw that this person had always been loyal to the court and would not threaten Dong Zhuo, so after some kind words and persuasion, he let Quan Rou go.

Quan Rou died a rare escape, and he was grateful to Jia Xu, and proposed that as long as he had the opportunity in the future, he would be grateful.

Jia Xu didn't take it seriously, he didn't expect to assist Liu Qi in attacking Yixian this time, but he unexpectedly heard that the defender of Yixian County turned out to be this person, so he repaired a letter and persuaded him to surrender, but Quan Rou saw that it was the life-saving benefactor who arrived, although he was ashamed of Sun Ce in his heart, but he still did not hesitate to lead the army to surrender.

The surrender of Quan Rou not only enabled Liu Qi to get 10,000 elite soldiers and a large number of grain and grass equipment for nothing, but also got a future famous general, named Quan Cong, who was the son of Quan Rou who had recently surrendered to himself, although this son was only fifteen years old, but he was brave in battle, and he had a lot of strategy in his chest.

Since Zhou Yu also sent Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to lead the army to defend in front of the danger, no matter how the challenge is, he will not be able to hold out, and there are still more than 10,000 Tai Shi Ci's army in She County on the south side of Yi County, once he attacks Huang Gai and Cheng Pu's army with all his strength, he will inevitably be attacked by Tai Shi Ci.

And more importantly, Liu Qi knew that Sun Ce would be assassinated in less than a year, and when Sun Quan had just ascended the throne and Jiangdong was unstable, it was a good opportunity for him to send troops.

Therefore, Liu Qi decided to take the opportunity to defeat Tai Shici first, remove the threat of She County, and then unite with Jiang Wan to take the southern half of Huiji, so that the counties at the junction of Yuzhang, Huiji and Danyang could be connected, which could not only further weaken Sun Ce's power, but also greatly expand his territory.

These territories are the foundation for themselves to win the world in the future.

The high pond of Shexian County, coupled with Tai Shici's bravery and good fighting, the surrounding thieves were all frightened, and they did not dare to fight with them, so they had to flee away. Therefore, although it is a strategic place, there are few wars, which makes the brave and warlike Tai Shici feel a little lonely because he has no battle to fight.

On this day, Tai Shici suddenly heard that Liu Qi led the army to capture the well-defended Yixian, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and at the same time scolded Quan Rou for not paying attention to kindness and righteousness, and even betrayed and surrendered to sincerity, and in a fit of anger, he wanted to ask for it in person, but because the opponent's army was strong, he was not expected to win, so he had no choice but to stop.

But unexpectedly, a few days later, Liu Qi personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the city of Shexian County, and shouted loudly to the city: "Tai Shici, your lord Sun Ce has been shot by me, you might as well descend early, so as not to harm yourself." ”

Seeing that Liu Qi only had 5,000 people, Tai Shi Ci insulted the lord Sun Ce, and couldn't help but be furious, and immediately stretched his ape arm at the head of the city, and pointed an arrow at Liu Qi.

But how did Tai Shi Ci know? Liu Qi has long known that he is good at shooting, how can he be defenseless? He had already secretly ordered, and while he was taking the bow in his hand, the personal guards beside him had already prepared several layers of shields, which were strictly blocked by Liu Qi's side.

When the arrow came, it penetrated two layers of shields, and even the third layer was embedded in most of them, which made the protector Zhang Tong couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, his back was full of cold sweat, and he said secretly: "Fortunately, the lord explained it in advance, otherwise, if only two layers of shields are deployed as usual, I'm afraid the adult will also suffer arrow wounds this time, it seems that the guards in the future must be more careful, otherwise, once you encounter a strange person like Tai Shici, won't the adult be in danger?" ”

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Liu Qi had taken precautions in advance, and then smiled: "I didn't expect that your combat power is not strong, but the reaction of your own soldiers is not slow, so I will spare your life first." You rely on a shameless sneak attack to injure my father-in-law, how dare you show off here? And my lord is just recuperating from his wounds in Wanling, how can he say that he is shooting? Next time, if you dare to talk nonsense again and confuse our army, you will definitely take your life. ”

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this: "Taishi Ciguo is a simple gentleman, the general was just a temptation, it turns out that Sun Ce is now in Wanling, I think he was scared by the general, even so, and leave him to live a few more days, anyway, he will die sooner or later, and the three counties of Jiangdong will return to me sooner or later." ”

Tai Shi Ci was furious when he heard this, and only pointed at Liu Qi with the tip of his gun, and shouted: "What can you do? I dare to insult my lord again and again, and leave him, and I will kill you today to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”

After finishing speaking, Tai Shici immediately led his troops to open the city gate and went out of the city to attack Liu Qi's army.

I saw the sound of shouting and killing, Tai Shici led 8,000 elite soldiers, swept over, Liu Qi changed color when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered the army to retreat.

Tai Shi Ci laughed, got up and chased straight after him, and after chasing for several miles, he suddenly saw a jungle in front of him, and then saw the ambush soldiers on both sides, killing his own army, and saw Liu Qi leading the army back and attacking together.

Tai Shi Ci sneered: "My Tai Shi Ci knows that Liu Qi is cunning, how can I not know that you have an ambush?" But what is the use of such an ambush? Will it cause harm to our army? It's a joke. I, Tai Shi Ci, have fought countless battles in my life, how can I be afraid of your ambush? ”

After finishing speaking, he led his own soldiers to shoot at the position with bows, so that Liu Qi's army did not dare to step forward, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to change from the rear to the front and retreat slowly.

It's not that Tai Shici is afraid of Liu Qi's army, but that he led the army out of the city, worried that there would be a loss in the city, in case Liu Qi led another army to attack the city, wouldn't he fall for his tricks?

After the army retreated, Tai Shici sneered and sarcastically said, "This is your ambush? What do you have to say that our army has now retreated unscathed? Hehe, Jingzhou Liu Bojing, but so, if it wasn't for the sneak attack, how could my lord be injured by you? ”

After finishing speaking, Tai Shi Ci took a bow and an arrow, and an arrow was aimed at Liu Qi's face, which was already blocked by Liu Qi's surrounding soldiers. By the time those pro-soldiers raised their heads, he and his pro-soldiers had already run away.

After Tai Shi Ci left, Liu Qi was not unhappy at all, but said with a smile on his face: "Tai Shi Ci is really brave and good at fighting, and the personal soldiers under his command are all good, and they can be compared to the elite of Huang Hansheng's push battalion, which is really amazing." ”

Xu Shu walked out on the side, and said with a smile: "Now is not the time to be envious, adults should think about how to capture Tai Shici tonight." ”

"Hehe, this matter is easy, as long as we do our duty, with the strict deployment of Xu Junshi, I believe that Tai Shici will be difficult to fly, a good general of this level, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. It's just that what I'm most worried about now is that it is not difficult to capture Tai Shici, and if I want to make him surrender, I am afraid it will not be so light. When the time comes, we have such a strong general around us for nothing, but we can't use it, which is really unwilling. At the end, Liu Qi shook his head slowly, with a wry smile on his face.

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he heard Xu Shu persuade: "My lord treats people with sincerity, and everyone in the world is eager to return, as long as my lord is sincere, I think that Tai Shi Ci will eventually return to obedience even if he is hard-hearted, right?" ”

"Oh, I hope so." Liu Qi smiled faintly and said softly.
