Since the food and grass in the battalion of Zhang Xun and others were not enough to support it for a long time, their tactics in this battle were to fight quickly. However, all of them did not dare to attack first, but stayed where they were, waiting for enough food to be snatched from Xiapi before withdrawing their troops.

However, we don't plan to let them evacuate so easily, and this is a good opportunity for us to march into Shouchun. Most of the belongings in Yuan Shu's hands are here, and if he can annihilate these soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, then he will basically be inactive.

At this time, the troops of Zhang Xun and others were to the east of us, and a camp was built every six or seven miles, mainly fan-shaped to besiege Xiapi. They sent a team of men to various villages to loot food, only to be met with resistance from the militia. They failed to grab anything, but they also suffered a lot of losses, which made Zhang Xun and the others wonder.

This time, Feng Xian and I only planned to lead the cavalry battalion and the trapping camp to fight, and the rest of the soldiers were left behind by Chen Gong, Song Xian, and Cao Xing. Speaking of cavalry, the battalion was composed of 400 Huocun brothers, and the trapping camp was composed of 1,000 Danyang soldiers. When we quickly came to a hundred paces outside the camp of Zhang Xun and others, they hurriedly lined up their formations and prepared to meet them.

In other words, for such a thing as a long-distance run, these 1,400 infantry warriors are the best at it. The reason why we came so suddenly was just to take advantage of the other party's scouts to eat.

When we attacked the other side with bows and crossbows, Han Xian and Yang Feng also led the crowd to attack from the flanks in a timely manner as agreed. I saw them shouting and rushing into the camp of Zhang Xun and others and setting fire to them, Zhang Xun and the others were caught off guard, and the subordinate army was chaotic for a while. At this time, the cavalry battalion under the command of Feng Xian quickly rushed to kill, Zhang Xun and others were shocked, and immediately scattered and fled for their lives.

Subsequently, the trapping camps under my command were also killed one after another. Let's say that these Danyang soldiers have been trained by me for more than a year. and all of them are equipped with the excellent armor created by the craftsmen of Huo Village, and they are all extremely strong. I saw that I led them down the mountain like a tiger, swept all the six camps built by the other party, and killed all the enemy soldiers.

Subsequently, except for Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, who crossed Surabaya with a small number of remnants of the defeated army and fled south to Shouchun, the rest of the people were either killed by us or drowned. In this battle, these belongings under Yuan Shu were almost wiped out.

Immediately, Chen Gong came out with the defenders in the city to clean up the battlefield. Feng Xian and I took the cavalry battalion and trapped the camp with Han Xian and Yang Feng. continued to chase the buttocks of Zhang Xun and others, and kept running towards Shouchun.

From Xiapi to Shouchun, the straight-line distance is about 450 miles. We marched by land and water, with cavalry marching by land and infantry flowing from Surabaya into the Huai River on boats and rafts. At that time, the flow of the Huai River was very calm, so we continued to swim upstream, and then arrived at Zhongli County and landed. When the Zhongli county commander learned of our coming, he immediately abandoned the city and fled. So we led our army into Zhongli City.

At this time, there was still a little surplus of grain in the county government, so Feng Xian and I ordered to open a warehouse and release grain to help the poor people. Then he ordered the men to gallop to the lower side of the horse. Let Chen Gong quickly send someone to transport the grain.

At this time, Jingzhou was the richest in the entire Han Dynasty, followed by Xuzhou. When we first entered Xuzhou last year, there were still millions of households in the state. In the past year, we have implemented a new system in the state, and many refugees from Qingdao and Yang have come to join after learning about it. And the millions of stone grain we harvested earlier only refer to the state's stockpile. It does not include the harvest of the people's homes. So, we still have enough food to feed these people.

Subsequently, we continued to march towards the Yinling City of Huainan Zhishuo. Huainan Yin Chen Ji did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle, and led the people to hold on to the city, waiting for Yuan Shu to lead the army to come to the rescue. Therefore, Han Xian and Yang Feng led their headquarters to act as bait outside Yinling City, while Feng Xian and I went to the distance to lay an ambush, preparing to launch a surprise attack as soon as Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses arrived.

At this time, Yuan Shu still had more than 10,000 foot riders in his hands, and this time he brought 8,000 foot horses to the rescue. Originally, Yuan Shu planned to bring Zhou Yu with him, but Zhou Yu excused himself on the grounds that he was unwell, which couldn't help but make him feel helpless.

Later, when Yuan Shu traveled more than ten miles west of Yinling, he was suddenly attacked by Feng Xian and me. Yuan Shu's army was in chaos, and he didn't dare to fight more, and immediately led the defeated army to flee south. Feng Xian and I pursued all the way to Fuling City in the southeast. Yuan Shu planned to hold the city and wait for reinforcements from Jiujiang to come to the rescue, but the big stone in my hand could not allow him to avoid it without fighting. After several bombardments, the gates were broken. Immediately, we rushed into the city and fought for a while, and Yuan Shu was immediately defeated and fled, retreating towards Lujiang County in the west.

At this time, Yuan Shu's military advisor Yuan Jian was captured by us. After some persuasion from us, he surrendered to our army.

Originally, Feng Xian and I planned to continue to lead the army to pursue Yuan Shu, but at this time, Chen Yu, the Taishou of Wu County, appointed by Cao Cao, arrived. At that time, Sun Ce also received an edict of appointment, but he felt that the rank of cavalry lieutenant was too low, and hoped to get the title of general so that he could command more soldiers and horses. Immediately, the envoy Wang Pu appointed Sun Ce as the general of the Ming and Han dynasties.

Although the current world is chaotic, it is still necessary to get the corresponding position before he can command more soldiers and horses. Otherwise, the number of troops you command exceeds your rank, and it is no different from a bandit who gathers a crowd to fight against you, and you will be accused of rebellion in name. This is also the reason why many people want to get a nominal official position, just to justify themselves.

At this time, Chen Yu's appointment as the Taishou of Wujun was obviously inconsistent with our pre-formulated strategy, and it also broke Sun Ce's plan to attack Liu Xuan and Tai Shici on both sides. But it doesn't matter, and it doesn't have much impact on the whole. Subsequently, Feng Xian and I prepared to lead our troops back to Xiapi to garrison, leaving Han Xian and Yang Feng to garrison Dongcheng County at the junction of Xiapi and Jiujiang to be responsible for containing Yuan Shu, and Chen Qun was in Huailing County in the rear to transport grain for them. We plan to wait for Sun Ce to stabilize the rear before sending troops to destroy Yuan Shu.

Before leaving, Feng Xian left a letter to Yuan Shu, accusing him of what he had done before. The letter said that Yuan Shu didn't know what to say, he didn't know what the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he had nothing else to do except speak out all day. I often boast that there are many fierce generals and warriors under my command, thinking that with the capital in my hands, I can be the king and hegemon, and now more than 1,000 of us have come, but we are immediately beaten and scurried, where is the so-called fierce warriors? To be a man, you must have at least self-knowledge, and you must be kind, if you want to dominate the world, you can't rely on your ability. Anyway, the two families are not far away, if you are not convinced, you can fight again.

After Yuan Shu read the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but be furious immediately, and immediately led five thousand horsemen to follow our trail. At that time, we had crossed the Huai River and climbed to the north bank, only to see Yuan Shu leading the crowd to show off their might on the south bank of the Huai River.

Seeing this, I immediately sneered disdainfully: "A bunch of stupid Bs! ”

When the brothers heard this, they burst into laughter.

But seeing that Yuan Shu and the others were still yelling on the other side, Han Xian and Yang Feng arrived at the right time with thousands of men and horses and launched a surprise attack from behind. Yuan Shu was defenseless for a while, and was caught off guard by the two, only to see a group of people immediately hugging their heads and running away, and fled in all directions.

When the brothers saw their disarray, they laughed. Subsequently, we saw that Yuan Shu and the others had fled far away, so we continued to withdraw our troops and went back to Xiapi.

After returning to Xiapi, Xiao Jian and Hou Hui also arrived one after another. Feng Xian sent a letter to both of them as a greeting. Hou Hui was originally Hou Cheng's uncle, and although he was appointed by Cao Cao to take over Pengcheng, his heart was still towards us. Xiao Jian, on the other hand, did not welcome us at all, not only did not reply to the letter written to him by Feng Xian, but also changed the system we had implemented before.

Feng Xian was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Jian's move, so he wrote him another letter, saying: "I am a native of Wuyuan, and my hometown is 5,000 miles away from Xiapi, and I didn't come here to occupy the land here, but because I was determined to support the Han family; If you think that you can fight against us with just a few counties and counties, Le Yi attacked the Qi country, but he captured more than 70 cities in a breath, although only Juxian and Jimo could not be captured, but because Qi had a field; Although I am not a person of Le Yi, but you are not a Tiandan or the like, you can use this book to discuss with the wise man in detail whether it is reasonable. ”

Speaking of Fengxian's life experience, he was born in Wuyuan and later moved to Quyang, so he is also a native of Wuyuan.

However, Xiao Jian replied that we have deviated from the scriptures, and what we are doing now is fundamentally rebelling against the Han family, how can we be supporting the Han family.

Feng Xianjian said that he didn't understand, so he stopped talking nonsense with him, and even planned to send troops to attack Juxian. At this time, I suggested that Feng Xian did not need to send troops, but could send people to contact Zang Ba and others in Taishan, and let them lead the crowd to attack Xiao Jian, which could save us some effort and give us another boost.

Feng Xian took my suggestion and immediately sent an envoy to Mount Tai, promising that after they defeated Xiao Jian, he would restore Zang Ba to his original position as Langya State Minister. Zang Ba readily agreed, and led the crowd to attack Xiao Jian. Then Xiao Jian was defeated, and Feng Xian also fulfilled his previous promise. After Zang Ba arrived, everything returned to its previous appearance. (To be continued......)
