That Sima Rui finally calmed down after a long fire, he gasped, and looked at the people in the audience with red eyes: "Is there really only one way to withdraw to Xuzhou?" ”

Everyone nodded.

Sima Rui seemed to be more than ten years old at that moment, and sighed faintly: "If that's the case, then let's withdraw." Who would dare to break through the siege and go out of the city to send a message to Qiu'er and let him answer by the river? ”

Yu Chen took a step forward: "Your Highness, my son Yu Bing can." ”

Sima Rui nodded: "Okay, let Ling Gongzi go out of the city and send a message." ”

In this way, Sima Rui decided to return to the north.

Immediately, Yu Chen's second son, Yu Liang's younger brother Yu Bing, led more than 100 elite horsemen from the north gate to rush to the riverside that night.

Originally, Yu Bing saw the opportunity to take advantage of the slack of the Jingzhou army outside the city, and it was not a problem to reach the riverside.

However, he never expected that it would be Yao Bao's turn to patrol today.

The two sides collided twenty miles outside the city.

Yu Bing happened to bump into Yao Bao, who was holding an axe and leading hundreds of cavalry.

The two sides froze for a moment when they met, and the next one charged at each other.

Yu Bing couldn't help but say, pulled out the ring head knife with a bang, and went straight to Yao Bao.

Don't look at Yu Bing's young age, but his courage is not small.

Historically, before Sima Rui's son Sima Shao died of illness, leaving two younger sons young, Yu Bing was worried that if the young lord of the country succeeded to the throne, as a relative of the Yu family, he would become the target of the court, so he said that Sima Shao would let his elder brother Sima Yue succeed to the throne.

As for himself, he took over from his brother Yu Liang to go out to guard Jingzhou.

Later, his younger brother Yu Yi went on the Northern Expedition, and Yu Bing sat in the rear and fully supported it.

At that time, Shi Hu was rampant in the north, and as another big demon king after Shi Le, all the soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan and Jiangbei suppressed by Shi Hu's daimyo were out of breath.

In this way, Yu Bing dared to let his younger brother Yu Yi go up to provoke, which shows his courage.

However, no matter how much Yu Bing has done in history, it will be a matter for the future.

Now he is still young, only about fifteen years old.

This age is the age when you are impulsive and belligerent, and you don't know how thick the sky is.

Yao Bao has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he not see Yu Bing's reality and emptiness?

Seeing Yu Bing's urgency, Yao Bao shook his body, and escaped Yu Bing's attack on an iron plate bridge on horseback, and then, taking advantage of Yu Bing's old strength being exhausted and the new strength not coming out, stretched his arms and directly lifted the back of Yu Bing's neck. threw it on the ground and yelled at the left and right, "Tie me up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, his corporal and soldiers rushed up in unison and tied Yu Bing with a solid bundle.

Even the one hundred and ten cavalrymen who fought out of the city with Yu Bing did not escape.

Yu Bing and his subordinates were captured, and the city was stupidly unaware, just thinking that Yu Bing had gone to Sima Li's army.

He is still gearing up, preparing to rush to the river and withdraw to Xuzhou in three days.

···

In Lujiang County, Yao Yu is watching the battle reports from all over Jiangdong these days.

When Yongju pushed the troops to the city of Jiankang, Yao Yu transferred the Chinese army from Luling to Lujiang.

First of all, this place is closer to Jiangbei, to the east can meet Yongji, and to the south can support Wang Xuance and Lian Jun.

If you go north, you can also help Shen Chengwugu in time.

In addition, the Lujiang River has smooth waterways and mostly plains, which is more convenient for the transportation of materials.

Yao Yu took the battle reports from all over the country and read them for a while, and finally put down the file in his hand, stretched out his hand and sighed while rubbing his brow.

Under the strong combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army, Sima Rui's Jiangdong was like mud and paper, and everywhere the soldiers were attacked, they all looked at the wind and fell.

Even if Yao Yu settled the surrendered people on the spot, their rations had already been snatched away by Sima Rui, and what was left for Yao Yu was still a huge gap.

There was no way, he could only send someone back to Jingzhou and urge Suo Hong to prepare more food to send.

Not to mention anything else, these people alone almost gave Yao Yu a few years of savings to eat.

No, there is no one around, Yao Yu is still sighing and sighing: "The loss is the family wealth that I saved for a few years before fighting Jiangdong, otherwise so many people would eat me poorly even if they eat." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Bi walked in from outside the tent.

"My lord, Yong Ji has sent prisoners."

"And the captives?" Yao Yu was taken aback.

These days, there have been many surrenderers in Jiangdong, and Yao Yu has not done anything every day, just accepting and settling prisoners, and the food in the army is falling at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

What he is most afraid of now is to accept prisoners, and you say that you can't put these prisoners to death to save rations, after all, he is playing the banner of a benevolent and righteous teacher, representing the imperial court.

How can there be soldiers and horses of the court to put their own people to death?

In terms of returning 10,000, even if there is no such banner, Yao Yu will not attack the captives.

As a well-educated college student who traveled back in later generations, Yao Yu did not have the problem of slaughtering and killing prisoners after those warlords broke through the city in this era.

Of course, the advantage of this is that his reputation for benevolence and righteousness is far-reaching, and the defenders in many places will not resist Yao Yu at all, and when they see that the situation is not right, they will surrender directly.

The downside is that it's too much pressure on logistics.

Otherwise, Jingzhou has accumulated enough rich family foundation in recent years, and it is really not enough for Yao Yu.

Now, when he heard Lu Bi say that he had sent another captive, Yao Yu just felt a headache.

"Tell me, how many have been sent this time."

While Yao Yu asked, he was still thinking about how much food he still had in his camp and whether he could digest this group of prisoners.

However, what surprised Yao Yu was Lu Bi's answer, there were not thousands, only one person.

This made Yao Yu wonder if his ears had heard it wrong.

He snorted and looked at Lu Bi in surprise: "It's not Lu Bi, you're not joking with me, are you?" Just a captive? ”

Lu Bi nodded: "Yes, it's just one person." ”

Yao Yu laughed angrily: "What about playing guys, why did you send Lujiang to Lujiang alone?" Ah Bao and Yong thought according to them. ”

Lu Bi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, it's not the lord, this captive is not ordinary." ”

Yao Yu was puzzled, so he asked Lu Bi why it was different.

I saw Lu Bi purse his lips and said: "This prisoner has a special identity, according to the surrenderer, he is the son of Jianwei General Jun Yuchen in the city, and Yu Bing, the younger brother of Cao Lu Yuliang in the Langya Palace." ”

Yao Yu blinked first, and then reacted.

"Yu Bing?"

Lu Bi nodded, and at the end he was curious: "How do you know him?" ”

Yao Yu smiled: "I don't know it, I haven't heard of it." It stands to reason that his father and brother are Sima Rui's henchmen. It should be in the city at this time, how did you take the prisoners? ”

Lu Bi thought for a while and said: "It is said that Yao Bao patrolled outside the city last night and accidentally bumped into Yu Bing and arrested him. ”
