Hefei.

Qi Jiguang led his troops to arrive and saw the guard general Chang Nu stationed here, what he didn't expect was that Pei Yuanshao and Gong Du were also here.

"Pei Yuanshao, Gong Du was ordered by the military division to wait for the general for a long time!" When the two saw Qi Jiguang, they gave up their hands together.

"How did you end up here?" Qi Jiguang was also quite surprised when he saw the two, and couldn't help asking.

"The military advisor expected that there were people in Jiujiang County who were restless, and they were afraid that the general's troops would not be enough, so let the two of us wait for the general here."

"The lord has an order, and all matters in Jiujiang are left to the general to decide!"

After Pei Yuanshao and Gong Du came to Hefei, they did not act rashly, but according to Liu Ji's arrangement, they sent people to inquire about the news, and at the same time stepped up military training, waiting for Qi Jiguang's arrival.

"I see, since the two of you are here, then I have a lot of control over Zheng Bao!" Qi Jiguang suddenly realized, looked at the two people in front of him, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

......

Shaobi Manor.

"Xu Ding, I will leave the safety of the manor to you, Yuan Jian just sent me a secret letter, I have to go to the General's Mansion in person, there are some things that should be closed." After Wei Zhongxian explained a few words to Xu Ding, he took a few servants and quickly headed towards Shouchun.

Xu Ding, as Xu Chu's elder brother, although his martial arts are not as powerful as Xu Chu, he is stable, which is why Yuan Yao let him stay in the manor.

......

Under the Moling Castle.

"Zhou Taishou, that Huang Zhong is simply not human! If we continue to attack like this, when will we be a head? The leader of Shanyue looked at Zhou Xin and said with a panicked face.

"Chief, you have also received the food promised by our Zhou family, do you want to break the contract at this time?" Zhou Xin looked at the leader of Shanyue who had already retreated, and he was also a little angry in his heart.

Zhou Xin didn't expect that this inconspicuous Moling City would be so difficult to attack, because the Yangtze River in Moling is flowing from east to west, which also leads to the special terrain of the city surrounded by rivers on three sides, they can only attack the south gate.

Huang Zhong only needed a few hundred people to defend the south gate to the death, causing Zhou Xin's tens of thousands of troops to be unable to be used, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Xin and the Shanyue army did not try to attack from other gates, but when they couldn't use it, they were defeated by Huang Zhong leading the army out of the city.

"Zhou Taishou, we don't want to break the contract, it's just that the food and grass you gave have run out, and if we continue like this, our soldiers will go hungry and fight!"

"And that Huang Zhong's bow and arrow shot accurately, several of our leaders were shot to death, and now no one dares to go up and fight to the death."

"You also saw the battle yesterday, that Huang Zhong went down with a knife, and even the people and horses were split in half, this Huang Zhong is a terrible ghost!"

The Shanyue leader's tone trembled when he spoke, these people had already been frightened by Huang Zhong.

"Grain, I will let the family find a way, if we hold on a little longer, I don't believe that Huang Zhong's food can't be eaten, as long as we consume him." Zhou Xin is not Zhou Ang, as a civil official, he is not very bold.

Since it can't be attacked for a long time, then simply besiege it without attacking it, and exhaust the opponent's grain and grass.

After all, to fight a war, you have to learn to use your brain.

......

Under the city of Wu County.

The mighty army was neatly displayed in front of Sheng Xian, and the army of nearly 10,000 people made the entire Wu County fall into tension.

The banner at the beginning of Yuan Zitou fluttered high, and Yuan Yao and Liu Ji sat in the wheel, waiting for Sheng Xian's reply.

"Fu Jun, do you really want to surrender to Yuan Yao?" When Xu Gong saw Sheng Xian take out the seal, he immediately stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Xu Gong, Yuan Yao came with the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, and Zhou Ang's experience from the past, can he still resist with the mere 2,000 men and horses of Wu County?" Sheng Xian looked at the stubborn Xu Gong and was a little dissatisfied.

Sheng Xian, as a celebrity, is old again, and he doesn't want to offend Yuan Yao, who is in the prime of Bingfeng, plus the head that Yuan Yao sent to Zhou Ang has already scared him out, and he doesn't have much memory of Wu Jun's Taishou at this time.

"Humph!" Seeing that Sheng Xian was so weak, Xu Gong snorted angrily and brushed his sleeves away.

And Yuan Yao, who was outside the city, waited for a long time, but he didn't see any movement in the city, and couldn't help but look at Liu Ji.

"Sheng Xian doesn't have many troops in Wu County, but he hasn't given an explanation to the lord for a long time, which is really a bit strange." Liu Ji stroked his beard twice, and was also quite puzzled.

After a long time, an armored general at the head of the city stood up and threw a man's head down the city.

"Sheng Xian wants to surrender to the enemy, but now he has been killed by me, and now Wu County is guarded by me!"

"Yuan Yao, Wu County has my Xu Gong here, you don't want to attack the city!"

The general at the head of the city was none other than Xu Gong, who, after killing Sheng Xian, took over Wu County in the name of Liu Xuan, intending to use it to fight against Yuan Yao.

"So not only do you not plan to hand over Liu Xuan, but you also want to go against me, do you know what happened to Zhou Ang?" Yuan Yao stepped forward and asked loudly.

"Yuan Yao'er, I'm not comparable to Zhou Ang's reckless man, you just come to attack the city!" Xu Gong saw that Yuan Yao was not very old, and the contempt in his eyes was even stronger.

Xu Gong had been planning for many years, and he had just eliminated his only obstacle to Sheng Xian, so when he was complacent, even in the face of Yuan Yao's army of nearly 10,000, he did not panic at all.

Moreover, Xu Gong had already reserved a back hand, and just waited for Yuan Yao to strike a thunderous blow at the critical moment, and Wu Jun could really fall into his hands and completely become a hero.

However, Liu Miao and Zhang Ying, who were also standing on the city wall, didn't think so, the two of them lay on the edge of the city wall, looking at the dense army, and couldn't help but beat the drums secretly in their hearts.

"Zhang Yingna, when we were in Qu'a, Yuan Yao only had four or five thousand people, and he was still able to drown Qu'a, and now that he has an army of nearly 10,000 people, wouldn't the feces be more sufficient?" Liu Yao has now completely had a shadow in his heart about Yuan Yao, and he opened and closed his mouth with that thing.

"yes, it's not good!" Feeling the army of banners, Zhang Ying nodded in agreement with a pale face.

Inside the carriage under the city.

Yuan Yao was originally worried that Sheng Xian would be easily demoted, and there would be no highlights in his additional mission, but who expected that the change would come too suddenly, which caught Yuan Yao off guard, and at the same time, he secretly praised Xu Gong in his heart.

"Berwyn, what do you think I'm going to do to make this fight a good fight?" After a task rating, Yuan Yao noticed a detail, that is, there should be a bright performance in the process of the task, so he hurriedly asked Liu Ji for advice.

"Wu County is on the verge of Taihu Lake, if the lord is not afraid of being criticized, his subordinates have a feasible plan." Liu Ji naturally knew about Yuan Yao's additional task, looked at the map and thought for a while, then opened his mouth with some hesitation.

"Could it be that Wu County is flooded?" When Yuan Yao saw Liu Ji mention Taihu Lake, he seemed to think of something.

"The topography of Wu County is bordered by Taihu Lake in the west and the Yangtze River in the north, and it is difficult to completely submerge even if it is watered, and the tide can retreat along the Yangtze River, which cannot achieve the effect of flooding."

"However, if you fill the embankment with feces in advance, although you can't break through Wu County, it will definitely make Xu Gong's kid unforgettable for life."

Liu Ji took a look at the terrain of Wu County, and immediately thought of an idea, but this strategy is a bit of something, if it weren't for Yuan Yao to complete the task beautifully, Liu Ji wouldn't want to use such a vulgar plan.

"Berwyn, it's amazing!" Looking at Liu Ji, Yuan Yao gave a thumbs up in admiration.
