Chapter 32: First Sight of Little Joe

"General, when we take Poyang this time, only the county of Huiji will remain!" In the advancing team, Hao Zhao also stepped forward happily and smiled at Zhao Feng. In yesterday's blocking battle, he led people to hold the back mountain, allowing Zhou Tai to return from several raids in vain. After the war, Zhao Feng wanted to promote him to be a captain, but Liu Bei saw that he was a talent, so he was suddenly promoted to a captain, and he still obeyed orders under Zhao Feng. As for his original position, Liu Bei transferred Feng Xi, a graduate of Hao Zhao's contemporaries, to Zhao Feng as a marquis of the guard.

"yes!" Zhao Feng also sighed. In fact, this time the dispatch of troops to Jiangdong was quite smooth, Lujiang surrendered without a fight, Danyang was also a decisive battle, and Wu County had an internal response. really relied on hard work to seize the city, strictly speaking, it really hasn't been encountered. Rao is like this, in the two death-to-death battles of Danyang and Wujun, the Xuzhou army has lost more than 20,000. I don't know how many people will die when the meeting is laid. As for Luling, this hard bone is still left to the Jingzhou army to gnaw on itself.

"Leader Yan, after you surrounded the city, how are the defenders in the city?" While marching, Zhao Feng asked Yan Peng beside him about the specific situation. "They tried to break out, but we shot them back with bows and arrows, as if there weren't too many of them." Yan Peng arrived.

"That's it!" Zhao Feng also nodded. Because the army had just experienced a big battle and was tired, and they were carrying siege equipment, and Zhao Feng and Yan Peng were not in a hurry, the march was not fast, and the result was that they arrived at Poyang City in the afternoon of the next day. When he was still a few miles away from Poyang City, Zhao Feng could already see the groups of Shanyue troops under the city. The queues were untidy, the defenses were lax, neither the siege nor the camp, and if the defenders suddenly came at this time, they would definitely not be pleased.

"O rabble!" Zhao Feng saw this posture and also had a more intuitive understanding of Shanyue's military discipline. Although the physical fitness and individual combat effectiveness are not weak, the overall combat effectiveness of this army will not be too strong because of this kind of organizational discipline. At this time, the Shanyue army saw that the Xuzhou army and Yan Peng were coming, and several big and small leaders also stepped forward to salute. After some politeness, Zhao Feng ordered to quickly assemble trebuchets and ballistas and immediately attack the city.

"General Zhao, what is this?" Yan Peng was most familiar with Zhao Feng, and seeing that he was not building a ladder, but assembling a large pile of wooden shelves, he couldn't help but be curious.

"Hehe, Leader Yan will know when he sees it!" Zhao Feng said with a smile. After a short time, the trebuchet was assembled, and under the curious eyes of the defenders of the city and the Vietnamese troops under the city, nearly a hundred boulders were thrown at the head of Poyang City, smashing dozens of Jiangdong defenders who had no time to react into meat sauce.

"Huh?" The Shanyue army was a bystander, but they were also dumbfounded; The Jiangdong defenders were immersive, and it felt like the end had come. Zhao Feng took a look at the city of Poyang, this Poyang County was separated from Yuzhang County by Sun Ce a few years ago, and it has eight counties under its jurisdiction. At present, the city wall of Poyang City, the seat of governance, is only slightly expanded and strengthened on the basis of the original city wall of Poyang County, and Zhao Feng knows at a glance that this city is far from being comparable to the cities of Wu County or even Danyang and Lujiang. And the defenders don't seem to be elite troops, more than a dozen rounds of stone rain smashed over, and the city was already in chaos, Zhao Feng saw the opportunity and immediately ordered to set up a cloud ladder to attack the city, and took the city head with one charge.

"Awesome!" Seeing that the siege lasted for less than an hour, Poyang City was taken by the Xuzhou army, and Yan Peng and others were all dumbfounded. The moment the city gate opened, tens of thousands of Shanyue soldiers suddenly came to their senses, screaming and rushing into the city. "Leader Yan, what are they doing, the defenders have been almost wiped out by us!" Zhao Feng saw that the Shanyue army suddenly went berserk, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"General, this city has been captured, and the soldiers will naturally be taken captive!" Yan Peng's face was as natural as a matter of course. Zhao Feng's head suddenly became big when he heard this, the Xuzhou army has always been strict in military discipline, and it has never taken the people captive after attacking the city. This group of mountains is used to being wild, and they have always broken the city, burned, killed, looted and did everything, and now they must be going to regain their old business. It's just that at the moment the two sides are still allies, and it is not possible to let them do what they want, but it is not appropriate to strictly stop them. Even Zhao Feng knew that Mo said that it was the Shanyue army, and the men and horses of other princes also kidnapped the people after they conquered the city, and many troops used it as an important means to boost morale, but they really couldn't do it.

"Leader Yan, this time is different, this Poyang County will be under the rule of the lord in the future, if it is kidnapped, won't it make the lord suffer?" Zhao Feng tried to use diplomatic rhetoric at this time. Yan Peng was also stunned when he heard this, and then understood that he had committed a professional habit, and he used to grab a batch of things and flee back to the mountains, but today he forgot that this city was already a friend. Seeing that Yan Peng's face was a little hesitant, Zhao Feng knew that he needed to add some more fierce material: "What's more, if you go to Yuzhou, there will be less rewards from the lord?" Why care about that. ”

"Indeed!" Yan Peng no longer hesitated when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to gather a few leaders to order him to stop the kidnapping. But the wild surnames of Shanyue people are difficult to tame, and once they start robbing, it is so easy to stop. Yan Peng and the others made a lot of efforts, and even killed a few particularly arrogant soldiers in the end, which brought the situation under control a little. Rao is like this, and a large area on the west side of the city has been made a mess.

A group of people worked hard for a long time, and it was not until the evening that the situation in the city was stabilized. Counting the battle situation, it turned out that Poyang City was only garrisoned by 5,000 county soldiers, and the guard was Cheng Pu's son Cheng Zhi, who was knocked unconscious and captured by Hao Zhao and Feng Xi in the melee. Only a little more than 1,000 of the 5,000 defenders were annihilated, and the rest were captured or surrendered. As for the counties under their jurisdiction, they learned from the mouth of the surrendering army that there were at most hundreds of people guarding the town, and it should be easy to take it. Considering that it is already late today, Zhao Feng will not be busy at this time, so he will send someone to collect it tomorrow. At that moment, while sending someone to report back to Liu Bei, he cleaned up this somewhat devastated city. As for the casualties of the Xuzhou army itself, they were minimal.

That night, Zhao Feng held a banquet in the Shoufu of Poyang County to entertain the Shanyue people, and after the group was full of wine and food, Yan Peng told Zhao Feng that most of the Shanyue in Yuzhang and Danyang were willing to migrate to Yuzhou. There are still tens of thousands of people who are difficult to leave their homeland, stay here, and hope that Zhao Feng will be able to contact them and settle them properly. Zhao Feng naturally agreed, Yan Peng and the others put their minds at ease, and Zhao Feng stayed in their Poyang County Shoufu that night, and the second said that these people also returned to the village one after another to arrange the migration.

Bidding farewell to the people of Shanyue, Zhao Feng sent Hao Zhao to lead 3,000 troops to subdue the counties under Poyang's rule the next day, while he stayed in Poyang to wait for Liu Bei's next order. Bai Yueli took a turn in the city, most of the places were fine, but the west side was looted by Shanyue yesterday and was a little dilapidated, at this time the soldiers and people of Xuzhou were busy cleaning the streets and repairing the city walls.

"General, Leader Yan just sent someone back to tell the general that there was something for you, and it was left where you lived yesterday!" At this time, Zhao Feng's new pro-guard Hou Feng Xi ran out of breath and said, Zhao Feng was also a little stunned when he heard this, and then he was a little helpless about the arrogance of these mountain men. Didn't he just promise to help him settle the tribesmen who didn't want to migrate, and he couldn't afford to give him a special gift. At that moment, Zhao Feng returned to the Poyang County Shoufu where he lived yesterday, and as soon as he entered his room, he saw a tightly tied hemp bag placed next to the bed.

"Huh?" Seeing that the sack was squirming, Zhao Feng also seemed to have a premonition of something, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the bag. "Sure enough!" As soon as Zhao Feng opened the bag, he found that it was a woman who was tightly tied up and had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth. Although the woman couldn't speak, she was obviously more nervous after seeing Zhao Feng, and she kept twisting her body, and the fear in her eyes was even more obvious.

"What is this?" Zhao Feng smiled a little helplessly, and took out the handkerchief in her mouth first. Although her hair was a little messy, she could still see that her head had been combed in a bun, and it seemed that she was a young woman rather than a girl. After the handkerchief in her mouth was taken out, she didn't scold or beg for mercy for a while, just gasped for breath. At this moment, Feng Xi hurriedly ran in and whispered something in Zhao Feng's ear, and Zhao Feng was shocked when he heard this.

Waving his hand to retreat Feng Xi, Zhao Feng silently untied the rope on the young woman's body and helped her to the edge of the bed and sat down. The latter should have been tied up for a long time, and it was difficult to even walk under the numbness of his hands and feet, if it weren't for Zhao Feng's support, he would have been able to climb.

"You're Little Joe?" Zhao Feng asked suddenly, and the young woman was so frightened when she heard this, that she muttered for a long time: "It turns out that you already know the general." Although his voice sounded quite calm, Zhao Feng still heard a trace of fear.

After carefully looking at Xiao Qiao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhao Feng had to sigh that he was worthy of his name. His two wives Diao Chan and Zhen Jiang are rare beauties, among which Diao Chan is from Bingzhou and is mixed-race, so she is born with a hint of exoticism. Zhen Jiang has been in contact with the family business since he was a child, so he exudes a capable atmosphere all over his body, which is somewhat similar to the surnames of those white-collar women in later generations, which makes people feel a trace of conquest when they see it.

As for Xiao Qiao in front of her, although she looks sluggish, it doesn't have much impact on her excellent appearance, but it makes her add a little weak temperament, coupled with her unique beautiful temperament of a woman in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it is really pitiful, and I can't wait to hold it in my arms immediately. Zhao Feng looked at Xiao Qiao, and couldn't help but feel a little mixed in his heart. As a man, after coming into this world, he once longed for this famous beauty and her sister, just like those compatriots who jerked off to posters of female stars in later generations. After learning that their sisters were married, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. Now that she appeared in front of her so alive, Zhao Feng couldn't react for a while.

Xiao Qiao saw that the general in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, didn't speak again after confirming his identity, but kept looking at himself, and the fear in his heart couldn't help but get stronger and stronger. As a woman, she knows how attractive her looks will be to men. Yesterday, when the city was broken, her residence in Xicheng was also ransacked by the Shanyue army, and several maidservants were brutally ** by the Shanyue sergeant in front of her, and then they were killed alive. Just when they were about to commit violence against themselves, a man who looked like a leader happened to arrive, and after learning his identity, he asked his subordinates to tie himself up and put her mouth in a sack, saying that he was going to give her to General Zhao. I was dizzy and tossed all night, although I was not humiliated, I was already frightened, and now it seems that I will not escape this catastrophe after all. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao also closed her eyes in some despair, and two lines of tears were left along her smooth cheeks. "Gong Jin, farewell!" Xiao Qiao said silently in his heart.

"Alas!" Seeing that Xiao Qiao in front of him was actually scared and cried by himself, Zhao Feng suddenly felt a little bored. After coming to this world for so many years, Zhao Feng asked himself how much he still retained some of his conscience in his previous life. It's not much, but there's still a few. Many things are taken for granted by people in this era, but they still can't accept them. Although there are already two wives, Diao Chan was taken in by herself, and Zhen Jiang is even more happy, asking herself if she has never used force on any woman. In fact, Zhao Feng has always felt that crossing is not an excuse to indulge himself. You can be amorous, but not lewd. If Xiao Qiao is still in the boudoir at this time, he can naturally calmly use the means of the future generations to hunt for love. But since she is already married to a wife, forget it. As for using her to blackmail Zhou Yu, Zhao Feng would not do it.

"You're tired, take a good rest, and when you're hungry, ask someone to bring you food." After Zhao Feng finished explaining this sentence, he walked away. Xiao Qiao opened his eyes and looked at him in some surprise when he heard this, but he only had time to see Zhao Feng's back in the distance.

"May I ask the general's surname?" Xiao Qiao couldn't tell what his motives were, and for a while he blurted out, quite interested in his identity.

"Xuzhou Zhao Feng!" The figure didn't look back, just paused slightly, and then strode away like a meteor. Zhao Feng didn't know that Xiao Qiao's heart was turning over at this time:

"Sister, Gong Jin, he is Zhao Feng!"
