At the time when Zhang Fan led the army to fight, Zhao Yun and Du Qing had already brought the situation in the ferry under control, and killing was naturally inevitable, but the final result was very gratifying, and most of the defenders lost their blades and chose to surrender.

Of course, this is also the reason why Zhang Fan's Jizhou army is too strong, this strength shatters the luck psychology of the defenders here, forcing them to be unable to resist, otherwise the next target of the Jizhou Iron Cavalry will be them!

Back at the ferry, Sun Lin had already woken up, his face was extremely pale, with a hint of anger, a pair of eyes staring at Du Qing, as if he didn't expect this long-time friend to calculate himself, and the helplessness in his heart can be imagined.

Du Qing shook his head and sighed, he chose his own path, the only thing he could do was to save Sun Lin's life as much as possible, and persuaded again and again at the moment, stating the pros and cons, hoping that Sun Lin could assist Zhang Fan with him, which was much better than being under Yuan Shu.

Sun Lin was actually shocked when he knew Zhang Fan's identity, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, so that he could grit his teeth and fight in the face of Ding Feng, but in the face of the world-famous Jizhou Mu, he didn't think that he had the slightest chance of winning, in fact, he didn't think about it now, and it was a foregone conclusion, but he just couldn't let go of Du Qing's deception of him, if Du Qing had already made it clear, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the courage to go against Zhang Fan, why go around such a big circle?

These things are not clear just by saying that they are not clear, there will be some misunderstandings between brothers, these misunderstandings need time to be slowly unraveled, and it is difficult to say them clearly in a short period of time, so Sun Lin is bold, and he is not a person who will not let go of a point, when he saw Chen Ji respectfully following Zhang Fan's side, he chose to surrender without saying a word, and called Zhang Fan the lord, showing his heart.

In this regard, Zhang Fan gathered three waves of men and horses, among which Ding Feng's soldiers and horses were the most well-preserved and the largest number of people, about 40,000 people, and the biggest loss was Chen Ji, but there were about 30,000 people, plus Sun Lin's nearly 20,000 people, Zhang Fan's total strength has initially exceeded 100,000, which is considered a large army!

Of course, the good and bad of these people are uneven, and the soldiers and horses under Ding Feng's command have not even received strict training, and they are fighting completely with enthusiasm, but this is also Zhang Fan's most optimistic wave of people, because there are not a few brave warriors among them, at least a thousand people, just let Zhao Yun pick and train, you can make up for Bai Ma Yi from the army again, and let it regain its previous majesty.

All in all, Zhang Fan gained a lot from this battle, and it also announced that he was truly freed from fleeing and had the ability to fight head-on!

Supply, rest, two days later, 100,000 horses set off in a mighty way, all the way to the east, to meet Huang Gai in the direction of Xuyi, and then went to see Zhou Yu to discuss the dispatch of troops.

Yangzhou bandits are rampant, but no one dares to fight Zhang Fan's idea, an army of 100,000 people can wipe out any hot-headed bandits, who would be so stupid to come and send them to death?

The appearance of this army made Yuan Yin, who was guarding Yangzhou, panicked, the threat of the Jiangdong army has not been lifted, but his backyard has been on fire, which made him extremely anxious, and sent letters to Yuan Shu countless times in a row, asking him to come back quickly to preside over the overall situation, otherwise Yangzhou is in danger!

After the dictation of the fleeing soldiers under the command of Yuan Chen Ji, Yuan Yin was even more shocked when he learned that this army was led by Zhang Fan, and at this time the battle report came from the front line of the coalition army, Lu Bu was killed by Zhang Fan, and the Jizhou army was pressing step by step, which was tantamount to a blow to Yuan Yin, and his idea of sending troops to rob and kill Zhang Fan was instantly extinguished, and he became cautious, **** guarded the city, and closed the door.

Yuan Yin didn't go out of the city, Zhang Fan was also happy, his target was not in Yangzhou, but stared at the Cao Yuan coalition army in Qingzhou!

Yuan Shu is not afraid, but Cao Cao, who sits in the land of two states, is undoubtedly a powerful threat, this hero wants soldiers to have generals, and there are peerless warriors like Guo Jiaxunyu to give him advice, if he can't defeat it, Zhang Fan can't boldly launch a counterattack against Liu Xie's regime.

This may be a protracted battle, and no changes will be allowed, Zhang Fan's army that originally rushed to Xuyi suddenly turned around and advanced towards Shouchun, which was very angry!

The soldiers were approaching the city, Yuan Yin was in a panic, he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, but he was cowardly by nature, and he was afraid of Zhang Fan's might, so he didn't dare to fight, his face was full of anxiety and horror.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ji, Sun Lin and others shook their heads and sighed, the high-level is so cowardly, how can Yangzhou persist under this chaotic shape? It seems that there is nothing wrong with your choice after all, this is the era of the strong, and the weak can only be eliminated!

"Call Yuan Yin out!" Zhang Fan came to the city and said lightly, but it made Shouchun City feel like a great enemy.

Yuan Yin was actually already on the city wall, but he didn't dare to show his head, and at this time, listening to Zhang Fan's name, he had no choice but to walk out and beat his spirit: "I don't know what the adults are here?" ”

Zhang Fan glanced at him and made a gesture with his hands slightly arched: "The army passed by here, and the grain and grass were exhausted, so they came to ask for some grain and grass!" ”

"It's good if you don't attack the city!" Yuan Yin breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Since the adults have spoken, where do I have a reason not to admit it, so I will order someone to go and prepare! ”

Zhang Fan smiled slightly: "The general understands the righteousness, and I, a million people, don't need to worry about the problem of grain and grass!" ”

"Millions?!"

Yuan Yin was shocked, looked down, and suddenly his face turned pale, he could be regarded as hearing the other party's voice, at the moment Zhang Fan only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, but he claims to be million, not for bluffing, but to ask for more grain and grass, and Zhang Fan has not clearly stated the quantity, if he gives less, I am afraid he will not give up.

With a smile, Yuan Yin said, "My lord said that he was joking." Where are there a million people here, only 500,000 at most! ”

This is bargaining, originally thinking that Zhang Fan might accept it when he meets it, but unexpectedly Zhang Fan sneered: "Naturally, it is a million people!" This is just my grain transport team, if there is not enough grain and grass, I am afraid that the army will be difficult to march, so I have to stay in Yangzhou! ”

Yuan Yin's complexion changed again and again, and finally turned into iron blue, a wave of anger erupted in his chest, he really wanted to go out of the city to fight, but in the end he still sighed, "I see, this is my clumsiness, please wait a while, the grain and grass will be ready immediately!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in Shouchun City, and extreme disappointment and panic appeared in the eyes of the soldiers, the consumption of grain and grass for a million army is not a small amount, if it is handed over, I am afraid that they themselves will be hungry!

"Send this evil god away! If he really joined forces with the Jiangdong Army to attack, then it would not just be a matter of grain and grass! ”

Yuan Yin sighed, and finally chose to compromise and sent almost the whole city's grain and grass, which made Zhang Fan leave satisfied.

Zhang Fan is naturally not short of grain and grass, but he has a deeper plan, he is afraid that the Yangzhou army will make a move when he seeks to capture Qingzhou, so he first extorted a large amount of grain and grass, even if Yuan Shu orders the Yangzhou defenders to send troops, it will not be possible, what kind of battle will there be without grain and grass?

With this alone, Zhang Fan minimized the threat from the rear and paved the way for the upcoming big war!
