(ps: This chapter is finished with a high fever of 38 degrees 5, please be comforted.) When Shu Shao, the envoy of Xiao Yuan Sangong's peace, arrived at the Xuzhou army camp in Cangtouwei, Deputy Director Tao was chasing Guo Huan, a pretty girl borrowed from his eldest wife, in his sleeping tent, intending to correct the law on the spot with the intention of seducing this little girl who dared to seduce outstanding people's servants.

"Don't run, look where you go!" During the chase, Deputy Director Tao suddenly opened his arms, and a hungry dog pounced on Guo Huan from behind, and while rubbing the little girl Guo Huan who was at his disposal from the legal point of view of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he said with a smile: "Stinky girl, look at how you run this time, you dare to run away after teasing this assassin history, today see how this assassin will clean you up." ”

Yin smiled, Deputy Director Tao had already started to pull the little girl's clothes, Guo Huan was shy and secretly happy, struggling and coquettishly said: "Lord, don't, don't, ah, someone is coming, lord, let go ......of the slave and maid." ”

"Don't think I'm going to be fooled, how many times have I been deceived by you like this?"

Deputy Director Tao was quite annoyed and accused Guo Huan of escaping from the battle many times, and was about to go further when the overlord forced the bow to correct the little beauty in his arms on the spot, the coughing voice of the pro-soldiers really sounded outside the tent, and then the henchmen and pro-soldiers played outside the tent: "The lord of Qiqi, Yuan Shu sent Danyang Taishou Shu Shao as an envoy to contact our army to discuss the truce, and expressed his willingness to give up Yuzhang Banjun to our army in exchange for our army to cease war with it. ”

The little girl Guo Huan, who was almost cornered, suddenly smiled like a flower, but Deputy Director Tao, who had already ripped open her pants and grabbed her belly pocket, was angry and roared: "Got it! I'll be there right away! Yuan Shupifu, it's a good thing for me, see how I clean him up! ”

The pro-soldier Nuo Nuo, who had ruined Deputy Director Tao's good deeds, retired, but Guo Huan's little girl even had a smile in her clear big eyes, and she also took the opportunity to put on her ripped clothes again, Deputy Director Tao hated it but was helpless, so he could only order angrily: "Wear pants for Ben Piercing History, and when I finish my business, come back and see how I clean you up!" ”

Guo Huan smiled and took the initiative to kiss Deputy Director Tao lightly on the chest, then knelt down on her knees, sorted out the pants that Deputy Director Tao had taken off, and ignored Deputy Director Tao's claws swimming in her collar, and just asked softly: "Lord, Yuan Shu sent people to sue for peace, I don't know what the Lord wants, can you intend to accept the truce?" ”

After this period of contact, Deputy Director Tao was also accustomed to Guo Huan's occasional interjection to express his opinions on military affairs, so he pinched the tender poached egg on Guo Huan's chest, and said lazily: "I haven't decided yet, let's go and see the situation first, but I will never accept the conditions of Yuzhang half of Yuzhang County offered by Yuan Shupifu, let alone half of the remote Yuzhang County, even the entire Yuzhang County, I will not agree, unless it is to cede half of Danyang County to me, I can consider a truce." ”

Guo Huan stopped moving, raised her pretty face, which was still childish but already extremely moving, and said in a serious tone: "Please forgive the lord, the slave thinks that even if Yuan Shu agrees to give up half of Danyang County, the most prosperous and wealthy county in Jiangdong, to the lord, the lord will definitely not agree to a truce." ”

"You don't understand military affairs, don't meddle in this regard." Deputy Director Tao withdrew his claws, pinched Guo Huan's white and tender face, and said with a smile: "I am not ready to fully capture Jiangdong, and my strategic focus is always on the northern front, on the southern front, as long as I can take a piece of Jiangdong land with convenient transportation to gain a foothold, and the truce stabilizes the situation on the southern front, I don't have to worry about the safety of the southern front." ”

"Slaves and maids don't understand military affairs, but slaves and maids understand personnel." Guo Huan's words were shocking, and he said solemnly: "Doesn't the lord feel that Lu Dudu's power on the southern front is too great? The military and civil affairs of the two counties of Huainan are controlled by him alone, and in the long run, it is very likely that there will be a situation where only the governor of Huainan knows but does not know the lord. ”

Deputy Director Tao's smile froze on his face, and after staring at Guo Huan for a long time, Deputy Director Tao straightened his face and said: "Don't instigate, Zijing is the first person to follow me, I know him, he is not the kind of ambitious person, you remember, you are not allowed to slander my subordinates in front of me in the future." ”

Guo Huan hurriedly kowtowed, and carefully explained: "The lord misunderstood, the slave and maid did not slander Lu Dudu, and the slave and maid also knew that Lu Dudu was loyal to the lord, and the slave and maid were just worried that Lu Dudu was too powerful on the southern front, so they felt that they should refuse Yuan Shu's request for peace and continue to fight with Yuan Shu." In this way, the lord can not only take back the money and grain power of the southern front and hand it over to others, but also let Lu Dudu concentrate on the military affairs of the southern line, and not give Yuan Shu's team and his sailors a chance to make a comeback. ”

Deputy Director Tao's eyes were ruthless, staring at Guo Huan for a long time without speaking, Guo Huan's little girl was a little timid in her heart, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "In addition, it can also have the effect of weakening Yuan Shu and the princes of Jiangdong, the lord said that our army is not ready to fully capture Jiangdong, but as long as our army continues to fight with Yuan Shu and does not stop, Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others who are not in the same sky with Yuan Shu will definitely take the opportunity to fight back, and when the lord withdraws from the northern front, they are almost weakened by each other, and the lord wants to take Jiangdong again." It's definitely a lot easier. ”

Deputy Director Tao still didn't speak, the fierce light in the triangular eyes was flourishing, and when Guo Huan, who was still young after all, was frightened, Deputy Director Tao bent down and whispered in the little girl's ear: "Little girl, I don't know that Zijing has offended you, and you are so worried and suspicious, but if you want me to give you anger, it's okay, as long as you don't run away tonight, I will take back Zijing's money and food." ”

After breathing a sigh of relief, Guo Huanjiao became angry and complained: "The lord is really bad, the slave maid is for your sake, and the lord you have to take the opportunity to blackmail others." Deputy Director Tao laughed, hugged the little girl and took a bite hard, and then laughed and walked out of the tent, leaving the little girl in the tent with a red face, hesitating whether she should gamble the biggest chips as soon as possible.

Of course, the suspicious Deputy Director Tao had already been tempted by Guo Huan's proposal, and after weighing it again and again, Deputy Director Tao also found that he had no advantages or disadvantages in maintaining a proper war on the southern front, which could not only train the team on the southern front, but also not give Xiao Yuan Sangong a chance to make a comeback, and then indirectly encourage Liu Xuan and Yan Baihu and others to fight back with confidence, and count them in one fell swoop. As for taking the opportunity to take back the money and grain civil affairs ......power in Lu Su's hands, considering that Lu Su's health is not very good, Deputy Director Tao is still very willing to reduce some of the burden on Lu Su, and at the same time, after taking back the power of money and grain civil affairs on the southern front, Deputy Director Tao does not need to transfer Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu, who has excellent internal affairs ability but is not quite on the right path with Lu Su, and Zhang Zhao, who is not consistent with Lu Su's eight characters, can also play a role in indirectly controlling the Jiangnan army.

Considering these pros and cons, when negotiating with Shu Shao, the envoy sent by Xiao Yuan Sangong, Deputy Director Tao, who has always listened to the rules, went against the norm and refused to cease war with Xiao Yuan Sangong without consulting Jia Lao Poison and others, and said: "If you want to stop the war, I have only one condition, he Yuan Shu must be bound to our army and surrender, and then I will hand him over to Lord Yuezhang to deal with!" Other than that, I don't accept any armistice conditions! ”

"What?" Shu Shao, who was sent by Xiao Yuan Sangong, was very surprised, and hurriedly said, "Did you misunderstand?" As long as the envoy agrees to an armistice, we can still negotiate the conditions of the land and city, but it is absolutely impossible for my lord to ask the lord of my family to plead in front of the original duke, and it is impossible for my lord to agree. ”

"Then Mr. Zhongying, please go back." Deputy Director Tao categorically issued an order to expel the guests, and said righteously: "Please return to the highway prince, Tao Ying, as a son-in-law, must not sit idly by and watch others insult Lord Yuezhang and stand by, so Tao Ying will never agree to a truce this time, and also ask the highway public to prepare for war as soon as possible, our army will launch an attack across the river before it is said, and capture him on the battlefield Yuan Highway will be escorted to Lord Yuezhang to ask for guilt." ”

"Envoy, but your northern line ......." Shu Shao originally wanted to persuade Deputy Director Tao to change his mind, but Deputy Director Tao still categorically refused, and ordered someone to ask Shu Shao to leave, Shu Shao was at a loss, and had no choice but to hurriedly return to Spring Valley to report the news.

It was also at this time that Liu Ye and Xun Chen and others present asked Deputy Director Tao about the reason for their categorical refusal, Deputy Director Tao took out Guo Huan's analysis for himself, abandoned the paragraph about Lu Su, and explained it to the strategists as his own opinion, Liu Ye and Xun Chen and others admired together, and even patted the sycophants and said that Deputy Director Tao was far-sighted, but Jia Lao Poison was silent, and secretly said in his heart: "The lord is not only becoming more and more clever in terms of strategy, but also becoming more and more cunning in terms of employing people, Zijing is so loyal to him, and he is so unruly... …。 ”

Secretly muttering here, Jia Lao Poison sighed in his heart again, "But this is also an inevitable thing, no matter how loyal Zijing is, if he continues to be like this on the southern front, the lord will have to control the southern line." ”

"Thinking that Huan'er has such a unique insight and a clear mind, she is another standard candidate for virtuous help." Deputy Director Tao considered another layer, "But if such a girl is given too high a status, she may not be a Lu Houwu Zetian in the future." How to control this overly shrewd little girl has to be carefully considered. ”

……………… On April 18, about 40,000 Xuzhou infantry cavalry set off again, all the way east to Liyang, preparing to cross the river in Liyang, and launched an attack on the relatively dilapidated Niuzhu ferry of the Yuan army's fortifications. Then go down the river to Liyang and meet the main force of the infantry led by Deputy Director Tao personally.

In this regard, although the team of the little Yuan Sangong force located in the south of the mouth of the water is itching, the main force of the naval division has been wiped out, and the remnants of the old ships and civilian ships are not enough to stuff the teeth of the Xuzhou naval division in the water battle, so the little Yuan Sangong can only move east with tears in his eyes, gambling on his future and fate to go to Niuzhu to fight to the death with the Xuzhou army. - also casually said, at the same time as moving to Niu Zhu, Yuan Sangong, who was like thunder, also personally beheaded Sun Quan, who had killed his own naval division, and killed dozens of Sun Ben and Wu Jing's families, and even Sun Shangxiang's biological mother could not escape the poisonous hands.

On April 26, after intensive and careful preparations, the Xuzhou army finally launched a battle to cross the river, Wei Yan asked for the vanguard to lead the Danyang soldiers of the headquarters to seize the ferry position, and Xu Zhi, deputy director of Tao, sent Lu Su to lead 200 warships to protect the troop transport fleet to cross the river. After the start of the war, more than 200 warships went first, to the ferry to suppress the defenders of the Yuan army with bows and crossbows, the troop transport ships took the opportunity to dock, more than 4,000 elite Danyang soldiers rushed to the beach, although the defenders of the Yuan Shu army fought back, but the Wei Yan team that had passed countless actual combat tests was too brave, and the Yuan Shu army could still support the arrow from afar, but when it came to hand-to-hand combat, the combat effectiveness advantage of the Xuzhou army was suddenly revealed.

In the melee, the Xuzhou army with significantly higher combat effectiveness was almost pressed by Yuan Shujun, the generals and soldiers were all one as ten, brave in battle, skillful in cooperation, although Yuan Shujun was also desperately resisting, Xiao Yuan Sangong also came to the battlefield to supervise the formation, but was still killed by the Xuzhou army and retreated, the formation was in chaos, a number of defensive strongholds were forcibly taken away by the Xuzhou army, Xiao Yuan Sangong jumped like thunder, ordered the supervision team to kill a number of deserters, ordered the team to fight forward to kill the enemy, but never able to bring the Xuzhou army back to the ship.

At this time, the second wave of Xuzhou army led by Xu Chu has also successfully landed on the south bank, seeing that the situation is critical, Liu Xun, the general of the Yuan Shu army, led 3,000 elite soldiers to launch a counter-charge, and the Xuzhou army fought fiercely on the beach, but although Liu Xun's team worked hard, the current combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army was far more than the combat effectiveness of the Huainan War, and it didn't take much effort to kill Liu Xun's team, and Liu Xun who was cut down took the lead in defeat, and the defenders of the ferry completely collapsed, and the formation of abandoned the defensive position and fled south, and the little Yuan Sangong himself was also frightened, had to accept the fact that the Xuzhou army crossed the river, led the defeated army to withdraw from the ferry battlefield, and the Xuzhou army did not chase after it, but just held the beachhead and continued to cross the river without mentioning.

In the battle, Yuan Shujun, who had been entangled with rookie opponents and almost stopped, suffered heavy losses, with more than 4,000 soldiers killed and missing, and lost the throat of Niuzhu, and the Xuzhou army, which was gradually honed in the confrontation with the strong enemy in the north, lost less than 600 people, and captured a large number of Yuan army prisoners to serve as the leading party. In the face of such a huge gap in strength, the frightened little Yuan Sangong was afraid that the Xuzhou army would pursue the victory, and he didn't even dare to defend the nearby Shicheng, so he fled directly back to Danyang County, southeast of Shicheng, and defended it behind closed doors.

It is useless to hold on behind closed doors, during the Huainan War that year, Xiao Yuan Sangong's sticking tactics did not play a role at all in front of the Xuzhou army, let alone now. Therefore, not only did Xiao Yuan Sangong intend to continue to flee for his life, but even Yan Xiang, the number one thinker of Yuan Shujun, also suggested to Xiao Yuan Sangong: "Lord, the people of Danyang are scarce and the city is dilapidated, and it is not a place to defend for a long time. ”

"Yan Gong, it's exactly what I want." Xiao Yuan Sangong once again unconsciously changed his name, and quickly nodded and said: "I intend to withdraw to Qu'a according to Maoshan and defend it, I don't know what Yan Gong's intentions will be?" ”

"Lord, don't retreat to Qu'a!" Yan Xiang was shocked, and hurriedly objected: "Lord, Qu Awan can't go, although Qu A has Maoshan to defend, but Qu A is surrounded by enemies on three sides, if our army retreats to Qu'a, not only will it be attacked by the Tao thief Huainan team and the Guangling team, but also face the counterattack of Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu and other thieves, and be attacked on three sides, and it will be difficult to take care of the end." However, the only way to do this is to retreat to Wanling, where it is far away from the Yangtze River waterway, it is inconvenient for the pottery thieves to attack, and the terrain is dangerous, and there are more Yuzhang troops to support, so only by withdrawing to Wanling, our army can hold for a long time. ”

"It makes sense...... Xiao Yuan Sangong hesitated a little and said: "But Qu'a has abundant money and grain, the city is high and deep, and there is a lonely mansion ....... ”

"My lord, when is it, please stop thinking about pleasure." Yan Xiang almost didn't cry, and said with a pause: "Our army will only be attacked on three sides when it retreats to Qu'a, but if our army gives up Qu'a and retreats to Wanling, Tao's team will inevitably clash with Liu Miao and other thieves for the essence of Jiangdong near Qu'a, and receive the effect of killing three soldiers with two peaches, which can reduce the pressure on the battlefield for our army." ”

At the critical moment that affected the course of the war in Jiangdong, Xiao Yuan Sangong was still sensible, and after gritting his teeth and thinking for a long time, Xiao Yuan Sangong finally stomped his feet, and forcibly endured his distress and said: "Okay, if you retreat to Wanling, you will retreat to Wanling!" Let out the essence of the Qu'a area, and let the pottery thief and Liu Xian's thief eat the dog! ”

"The lord is wise, and there is hope for our army to recover." Yan Xiang, who was afraid that Xiao Yuan Sangong was greedy for pleasure and insisted on going to Qu'a, breathed a sigh of relief, and then suggested: "Lord, since the main force of our army has decided to move to Wanling, then Qu'a will inevitably fall sooner or later, rather than letting the pottery thieves take it away, it is better to use it as an empty favor, send an envoy to contact Liu Miao or Yan Baihu, and at the cost of ceding the land and city east of Maoshan in exchange for an alliance to resist Tao, to ensure that the princes of Jiangdong will be dragged into the battlefield of anti-Tao and share the pressure of our army." ”

Xiao Yuan Sangong's face was as ugly as his dead father, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time, until Yan Xiang repeatedly reminded him that it would be too late for the Xuzhou army to do this once the Xuzhou army came to Maoshan Shenting Ridge, and Xiao Yuan Sangong ordered with great distress: "Okay, according to Yan Gong's plan, quickly send Shu Shao to rush to Wu County as an envoy and contact Liu Xuan, Yan Baihu, and these thieves ......." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan Sangong suddenly raised his voice and roared angrily: "Tell them that even Gu is not the opponent of the pottery thief, let alone these dog thieves, if they want to live, they want their land and city not to be robbed by the pottery thief, and their wives and daughters are not wiped out by the pottery thief, so hurry up and join forces with the lonely to fight against the pottery thief!" ”
