After the order of the east gate of Shouchun was restored, the speed of traffic was greatly improved.

After three poles in the sun, most of the hundreds of thousands of people in Shouchun City have already left the city.

It was not until this time that the wealthy nobles and nobles of the "Zhong Dynasty" personally escorted the last cart of silk or gold and silver treasures to the east gate of Shouchun.

As for those incorruptible civil officials and military generals, they had already gone out of the city with Yuan Shu.

Among this group of nobles and nobles, there is a young man with a face like Fu Fan, he is Yuan Shu's son-in-law Huang Yi.

The Huang family and the Yuan family are world friends, Huang Yi's father was Yuan Shu's most relied on mastermind, but unfortunately died young, Yuan Shu because of the memory of the deceased, only to marry his most cherished eldest daughter Yuan Ji to Huang Yi as his wife.

For this reason, Huang Yi has always been rampant in the "Zhongjia Dynasty".

Huang Yi saw that the convoy in his house was still blocked in the city, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, found the housekeeper and asked, "Agui, why haven't you left the city yet?" ”

The house slave cried: "Young master, our convoy with many families has been stopped by the guards of the city. ”

Huang Yi said angrily: "What? The defenders of the city were so bold that they dared to stop even the convoy of Captain Bendu? ”

The house slave continued to wipe his tears and said: "Young master, wow, do the guards defending the city have a son to support them, it is Huang Fu, don't let the son stab him to death with a sword." ”

"Yuan no? He killed Huang Fu? Huang Yi was stunned at first, and then became furious, "This cheap concubine, dare to be like this?" Captain Pontus swore to him. ”

Changshi Yang Hong happened to ride by, so naturally he would not let go of such a good opportunity to give Yuan no an appointment, so he said: "The concubine is cautious, now the reputation of Gongzi Yuan is in full swing, and it is better for you to touch his moldy head less." ”

"Prestige is in the sky? Phew! Huang Yi said disdainfully, "So-and-so touched his head, what can he do?" ”

After speaking, Huang Yi didn't care about the convoy on the house and the large group of warblers Yanyan, and then took a dozen people out of the city gate to find his wife Yuan Ji to cry, although Yuan Ji had married Huang Yi, but because Yuan Shu and Feng were reluctant, they still lived in the palace after getting married, and they would have followed Yuan Shu out of the city first.

Watching Huang Yi lead more than a dozen horsemen to go on a rampage and go out of the city, Yang Hong couldn't help but show a sinister smile.

Just when Yang Hong gave Yuan Fu eye medicine, Yuan Fu had already taken Yu Linwei's two thousand iron horsemen and rushed to Xia Cai County, about seventy miles north of Shouchun.

Xia Cai County ordered to quickly open the city gate and welcome Yuan Wei into the city.

Xia Cai County is only about seventy miles away from Shouchun, and the cavalry is coming in an instant, but at this moment it is still under the control of Yuan Shujun, which really makes Yuan Wei a little overjoyed.

Yuan Shu had already prepared to attack the city.

Yuan Wei didn't know that in order not to give Yuan Shu a chance to escape, Cao Cao adopted the combat strategy of driving straight into Shouchun and attacking Shouchun, and did not care about capturing the city on the way to the army.

Cao Cao's tactics really worked wonders, Yuan Shu was caught off guard, and was directly besieged in Shouchun, and then Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce's three-way coalition troops also arrived one after another, and Yuan Shu almost became a turtle in the urn.

Of course, Cao Cao's tactics also brought great difficulties to Cao's army's logistical supply.

Yuan ordered someone to call the Cai County Commander and the county lieutenant to the front and asked, "Is there a ship in the city?" ”

According to the plan, Yuan Shu's army would cross the Huai River in the north of Xia Cai, and then turn northwest and enter Runan County.

As in history, after Yuan Shu escaped from Shouchun, he still chose Runan as his safe haven, because Runan was Yuan's old nest, Yuan's fourth and third dukes, protégés and former officials all over the world, and almost all the local officials in Runan County came from Yuan's disciples, and Yuan Shu took it for granted that these local officials would definitely welcome him.

Therefore, Yuan No's first task was to control Xia Cai, and then set up the pontoon bridge.

Yuan Wei originally just asked casually with the hope of what happened, but he never thought that there was really a ship.

The county commander replied: "Hui Gongzi, in order to prevent Cao Jun from crossing the river, Xia Guan ordered the confiscation of all the boats and ferries of the fishermen nearby, but unfortunately, it still failed to prevent Cao Jun from crossing the river, but these confiscated boats are still there." ”

Yuan Nuo immediately took the county order and the county lieutenant to the wharf where the boats were moored, and when he arrived at the wharf, Yuan Que found that there were more than 100 large and small ships confiscated by the Cai County Order, although the water level of the Huai River had skyrocketed to a high level, but with these more than 100 large and small ships, the progress of erecting the pontoon bridge could be much faster.

Yuan immediately ordered Cai County to organize the people to erect a pontoon bridge.

Xia Cai County Commander had a difficult face, and said: "Son, the young and strong people in this county have already been requisitioned by His Majesty, and now there are only the old, young, sick and disabled in the county, and I really can't find decent labor." ”

Yuan was silent, the originally rich Huainan County was also Jiujiang County, which was considered to have made Yuan Shu crippled.

As a last resort, Yuan Wei could only personally take Yulin Wei to build a pontoon bridge.

The marching speed of Yuan Shu's army naturally couldn't be compared with Yuan Shu's Yu Linwei.

By noon, Yuan Shu's 100,000-strong army had marched less than thirty miles north.

The main reason is that Yuan Shu carried too many guys, even the bronze tripod used for sacrifice was brought, and the road became extremely muddy and difficult to walk because of the long period of rain, sometimes an ox cart fell into the mud, and the sergeant had to push it for a long time to push the ox cart out, which seriously affected the speed of the march.

Lord Bo Yanxiang rode his horse to Yuan Shu's imperial chariot and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this, it's better to give up some unimportant baggage, right?" ”

"Unimportant baggage?" Yuan Shu said unhappily, "Which baggage is not important?" ”

"For example, those gold, silver, porcelain, bronze vessels, and silk and satin ......" Yan Xiang's voice became softer and softer, and under Yuan Shu's fierce gaze, he finally didn't dare to say more.

Yuan Shu was born in a family and has always pursued luxury and enjoyment, which makes his hard life worse than killing him.

Yuan Shu stared at Yan Xiang coldly, and said viciously: "Yan Xiang, you asked me to throw away all the gold, silver, porcelain, bronze utensils, and silk and satin, you plan to let me live a beggar's life, right?" ”

Yan Xiang didn't dare to speak, until Yuan Shu's imperial chariot walked away, then he shook his head and sighed: "Fang is undecided today, he is addicted to comfort and pleasure, how can such a master achieve great things?" ”

Ji Ling rode by and whispered, "Yan Gong said cautiously." ”

"Caution?" Yan Xiang laughed miserably, "Don't you know, general, I will die for no day!" ”

Before the words fell, there was a faint sound of thunder in the southern sky, Yan Xiang didn't notice anything, but Ji Ling, who was born in the army, heard that something was wrong, and was anxious to stand upright on horseback, and then put his hand on the awning to look in the direction.

Seeing Ji Ling like this, Yan Xiang also seemed to realize something, and asked, "But Cao Jun crossed the river to chase and kill?" ”

"It's not Cao Jun." Ji Ling shook his head and said with a heavy expression, "It's Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army, Jiangdong Cavalry!" ”

Ji Ling spoke this kung fu, and the soldiers of the Yuan army who were marching also reacted, so they looked back one after another, only to see that a faint black line had appeared on the horizon in the south, and in just a moment, this black line extended to both sides, and finally turned into a black cavalry.

In front of this group of cavalry, a red dakh was fluttering in the wind.

In the center of the red silk, a large Sun character is embroidered with black silk thread.

Seeing Sun Ce's Jiangdong cavalry chasing and killing, the soldiers of the Yuan army who were marching suddenly became agitated.

No matter from which point of view, Yuan Shu's 100,000 army is not an army in the real sense, except for a few elite soldiers, most of the rest of the soldiers are strong men who have been captured for a short time, the quality of these strong men is uneven, and they have never received formal military training, if they want to be immobile when facing the enemy, it is simply wishful thinking.

Of course, the 100,000 "army" that Yuan Shu threw at Shouchun to defend the city was even more unbearable.

Ji Ling was about to give an order to meet the enemy, Yuan Shu's "holy decree" arrived, and ordered the general Zhang Xun to lead the left, right, front and rear armies to meet the enemy, and the Wei general Ji Ling led the Chinese army to protect the holy car and continue to go north to Xia Cai.

Ji Ling actually wanted to stay and fight with Sun Ce, at least to scold Sun Ce to his face.

However, since it was Yuan Shu's holy decree, Ji Ling, who had always been loyal to Yuan Shu, could only give up.

Yuan Shu's army immediately sounded the sound of the horn, the original rushing army was soon divided into two groups, 20,000 Chinese troops to defend the "Emperor of the Zhong Family" Yuan Shu's imperial chariot continued to go north, and the general Zhang Xun led the remaining 80,000 troops, set up a formation to meet the Jiangdong cavalry breakthrough.

Zhang Xun is also a veteran general on the battlefield, and he is quite knowledgeable.

By the time the Jiangdong cavalry was approaching, under the command of Zhang Xun, the 80,000 Yuan army had barely set up a line formation, and the four armies in front and back and left were lined up in units.

The shield is in the front, the spear is in the center, and the archers are in the back.

The only two cavalry units of the front army protected the two wings of the large array.

At first glance, it seems that the sky and the earth are all the heads of the Yuan soldiers, this kind of crowded scene has brought the Yuan soldiers a great sense of security, and the Yuan soldiers who were originally panicked gradually calmed down again.

However, Zhang Xun, who is the main general, is not happy at all.

Because, Zhang Xun knows very well that although the one-word long snake array can greatly boost the morale and morale of the army, there is a fatal weakness, once a certain point is chiseled through by the Jiangdong army, the entire large array will immediately collapse!

If these 80,000 troops were well-trained elite soldiers, Zhang Xun could evolve into the Erlong Water Formation or the Heaven and Earth Sancai Formation on the basis of the one-word long snake formation, and he would have the confidence to block the assault of the Jiangdong cavalry, but unfortunately, most of the 80,000 troops under his command now are just peasant woodcutters who have never received formal military training.
