Tao Kan saw that the chasing soldiers returned to the city, and he also asked people to pack up their soldiers and horses, and ordered him to retreat to camp twenty miles away from Hefei. The future has been seen, and the army said: "My lord, the enemy army is strong, the main general is brave, Hefei City is dangerous, our army has just folded for a while, how can we take the city?" ”

Tao Kan smiled slightly and said: "The first contact, Ben General was about to test the strength of the enemy soldiers, so that he could win for a while, it was a plan of a certain arrogant soldier. Everyone can rest assured, Ben will have his own strategy to break the enemy. ”

At that time, Tao Kan had finished camping, and ordered his subordinates to be rewarded with wine and meat. But he himself took a few guards and rode out to inspect the terrain. Tao Kan was originally from Jiangnan and knew the terrain of this place very well, so he had to choose an excellent place to destroy the enemy.

Looking at Tao Kan who was embarrassed and ran away, Zhou Feng was very excited, and being able to defeat Tao Kan, who was known as a 'famous general', made him extremely excited. On the way back to the city, Zhou Feng kept showing off his achievements to the surroundings.

"Quick, send someone to report the victory of the king of Langya, and say that our army defeated 10,000 of the Northern Army under the city of Hefei and killed 2,000 enemies!"

This is a naked lie about the military situation, but Zhou Feng was born in the Zhou family, a Jiangdong family, even if something goes wrong, it is not a big deal, and this time he did win the battle.

After all, Tao Kan is a famous general who wiped out even the King of Qi, and there is no one in the entire Jiangdong who does not know his prestige, but now he has defeated the other party, so wouldn't it have established his reputation as a 'famous general'.

Soon the news was sent to Jiankang City, and when everyone heard the news, they didn't believe it at first, because how powerful Tao Kan was, Wang Dun and others, who had seen the fall of King Qi with their own eyes, were very clear, and they could be said to be real famous generals.

And now it has been defeated miserably at the hands of an unknown general in Jiangdong, how can this make everyone believe! It's just that Zhou Feng was born in a famous family, and the other party has just won the battle, so it is not easy for everyone to change generals for a while.

Not to mention the worries in Jiankang City, just say that after Zhou Feng returned to the city, he immediately put on a banquet to celebrate the victory, and after he repeatedly showed off, the defenders despised the current place very much, and some people even clamored to go out of the city to meet the enemy directly!

The defenders in Hefei City are about to move, and the relevant information has long been sent to Tao Kan's camp, and at this time Tao Kan is in the camp, organizing soldiers to practice at night. At the same time, every day he sent people to Hefei to challenge, and every time he pretended to be defeated, and after a few times, the defenders despised Tao Kan even more.

Three days later, Tao Kan personally led the army to stand under the city of Hefei, and ordered hundreds of people to insult the guards naked in front of the battle, they either sat on the ground, or danced loudly to insult Zhou Feng, and their words were extremely rude.

Zhou Feng, who was watching the enemy on the city wall, was furious, "You and other defeated generals dare to be so rampant, and when the general goes out of the city and beheads Tao Kan!" ”

After that, Zhou Feng ordered the left and right to quickly reorganize the troops and horses, and go out of the city with him to break the enemy. Left and right persuasion: "The general is angry, this is probably Tao Kan's plan to lure the enemy, if you want to earn us into his trap, I hope the general will be careful!" ”

Zhou Feng smiled rampantly and said, "Our army has won successive battles, and it is when morale is high, even if it is Tao Kan's annihilation plan in front, the general will have the confidence to break the enemy." Left and right Hugh must be persuaded again, hurry up and go out of the city with the general to kill the enemy! ”

The situation was as Zhou Feng expected, as soon as the two armies engaged, Tao Kan's army was defeated and retreated. Seeing this scene, Zhou Fengbian relieved his heart, waved his hand and began to pursue. This time, Zhou Feng was determined to catch the evil spirit. Seeing the rebels chasing, Tao Kan commanded the army to retreat, and at the same time asked people to throw gold and silver property on the side of the road, causing the pursuers to loot.

Seeing that under Hefei City, their own side won so easily, and the defenders in Hefei City couldn't bear it, especially when they saw the brothers below looting their property, they finally couldn't sit still. Even the generals who stayed behind were excited, but as an officer, he could not rush out without the commander's order. Therefore, he can only appease everyone again and again.

"You can't act rashly, don't be impatient for the time being, wait for the general to find out, and let you take action and make contributions!"

"Yes......!" Many of the soldiers looked a little amused when they heard this, but they still listened to the officer's words.

While the troops left behind in Hefei City were watching, Zhou Feng under the city was in the limelight, killing Tao Kan's farts and urine. The army won all the way and broke through Tao Kan's front army. Under the pursuit of Zhou Feng, Tao Kan was besieged in a place thirty miles north of Hefei, which was a good place to destroy the enemy.

Seeing Tao Kan surrounded in the middle, Zhou Feng was overjoyed and ordered his subordinates to attack at all costs. However, he underestimated the combat effectiveness of Tao Kan's subordinates, and he couldn't fight for a long time, at this time Zhou Feng had forgotten Hefei City, he only had Tao Kan in his eyes, and he wanted to capture Tao Kan and make immortal achievements.

So Zhou Feng ordered 3,000 defenders to be left in the city, and the other soldiers all went out of the city to join the battle of encircling and destroying Taokan. As soon as such news came out, the left-behind soldiers in Hefei were in an uproar, and those left-behind generals could no longer sit still. So everyone rushed out of Hefei City, ready to encircle and annihilate Tao Kan.

But he didn't know that he had fallen into Tao Kan's plan to lure the enemy, so it turned out that on the eve of the army, he secretly sent 2,000 people to ambush both sides to prepare to attack Zhou Feng, and sent another 1,000 people to attack Hefei City pretending to be the enemy's defeated army. After Tao Kan saw that Zhou Feng had been fooled, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack. With a shout, the ambush soldiers descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and Tao Kan took the lead and returned to the horse to kill the pursuers.

The soldiers of the Xiang Army, who were still embarrassed just now, seemed to have changed people, especially the so-called elite Mo Dao team, everyone carried a Mo knife, like a dragon going to sea, and he would die if he touched it, and he would die if he blocked it. The Jiangdong Army, which was happily pursuing the enemy, never thought that the enemy on the opposite side would become so brave!

Just as Tao Kan and Zhou Feng were fighting under the city of Hefei, the elite of the 1,000-chamber army pretended to be the Jiangdong army, deceived the Hefei city gate, and quickly captured the city gate. The defenders of Hefei never dreamed that in their lair, there would suddenly be the elite of the imperial court to kill, there was still time to resist, and the surprise troops set fire everywhere, and the main general of Hefei fought at the pass again, and the soldiers and horses left in the pass were suddenly in chaos, fleeing everywhere like headless flies.

Zhou Feng was fighting with Tao Kan's subordinates under the city, and when he heard the chaos in Hefei, someone shouted: "Hefei City is broken!" ”

Zhou Feng was shocked, he reined in his horse and looked back, only to see thick smoke billowing behind him, obviously there was something wrong with Hefei City. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he didn't dare to fight, and was ready to shoot back. As soon as the main general left, the Jiangdong soldiers were even more unbearable, and they scattered and fled.

Zhou Feng hurriedly rushed to Hefei, but before he arrived in Hefei, he couldn't go to Lixu, and he was blocked by a soldier and horse, which was the defender who escaped from Hefei. At this time, Zhou Feng finally knew that Hefei was undefensible.

Poor Zhou Feng was able to gather his subordinate soldiers at this time, and there were only a few hundred of them. At this time, Tao Kan's command troops were swarming in. Tao Kan saw that the Jiangdong soldiers had completely collapsed, and immediately shouted: "Zhou Feng is the only one who will be captured, as long as the others put down their weapons, this general will never be an enemy with you!" ”

After speaking, the horse rushed into the enemy formation, and the knife went straight to Zhou Feng. At this time, Zhou Feng saw that Hefei was broken, his spirit had already collapsed, and his usual ability could only play one or two at this time, and he barely waved his knife to meet him, and he couldn't count the battles, and Tao Kan saw the opportunity to behead him with a knife!

Jiangdong soldiers saw that the lord was going to be killed, they knelt down and begged to surrender, Tao Kan ordered the generals to comfort the soldiers, took advantage of the victory into Hefei, and finally realized his wish to win more with less, with thousands of soldiers, breaking the enemy tens of thousands of people, really comparable to the ancient famous generals.

After Tao Kan captured Hefei, he immediately sent back Shouchun to report to coach Xu Chao; And because there were a lot of ordnance, money, and grain of the Jiangdong Army in Hefei City, he asked Xu Chao to send someone to count and accept.

After Xu Chao received the good news that Tao Kan captured Hefei, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and killed the chief general of Hefei, he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately sent 10,000 soldiers and horses south to Tao Kan's command, preparing to attack the counties of Huainan in Jiangbei!

And Wen Xian, after learning of the loss of Hefei, in order to prevent Tao Kan from attacking Tuzhong and threatening his health. He immediately commanded the army to stop the movement towards Shouchun, diverted the route and quickly rushed to Tuzhong Town, preemptively occupying the northern barrier of Jiankang.

Tuzhong is the Chuzhou of later generations, the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, the Chuhe River is called "Tu (chu) water", and the area of Chuzhou is called "Tuzhong", which is the military center of Jianghuai, if you read the history books of the two Jin Dynasty, you will find that there is often such a sentence in the book: the Jin army is out of Tuzhong! Tuzhong is the bridgehead of Jiankang, so it can be seen that it is an important surname.

Just after Wen Xian led his troops to Tuzhong Town, Xu Chao was relieved of his worries, and he immediately intensified his attack on Shouchun. This time, due to the impact of the Battle of Hefei and Wen Xian's retreat, the morale of the Shouchun defenders was suddenly reduced to the extreme. Even if Dai Yuan is powerful, he has no skills, in desperation, Dai Yuan led the troops to break through from Shouchun, so far after nearly two months of fighting, the Jianghuai town of Shouchun City was finally captured by the imperial court, so far the entire Huainan is under the front of the imperial army!

Xu Chao from Shouchun and Tao Kan from Hefei, the troops marched eastward in two ways, coupled with the diversion of the Xuzhou soldiers on the eastern front, so that the imperial army finally swept all over Jiangbei. The two counties of Lujiang and Huainan were soon taken into the pocket of the imperial court, and the king of Langya in Jiangdong and others had no choice but to command Wen Xian to hold on to several important strongholds, and then abandon the entire Huainan land.

After receiving the news of the recovery of Huainan, Sima Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now in addition to the three places of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Pingzhou, which have not yet been attached to the imperial court, the prefectures and counties north of the Yangtze River have been reincorporated into the imperial court. In the next time, he only needs to recuperate for ten or eight years, and Sima Shu is confident that he will sweep away the rebellion in one fell swoop and return the Great Jin to a bright future.

Unlike Sima Shu's joy and encouragement, Jiangdong is full of mourning. What the loss of Huainan means to Jiangdong, Sima Rui, Wang Dun, Wang Dao and others know very well. Otherwise, during the Three Kingdoms period, Eastern Wu and Cao Wei would not have fought in Jianghuai repeatedly, and they were not all fighting for control of Jianghuai. (To be continued.) )
