The reason why Tai Shixiang panicked was because he didn't know Chen Lan's backstage and mistakenly thought that the other party was going to be tough Jiangdong.

It's no problem to deal with a few thousand people outside the city, if Lu Mengzhen brings tens of thousands of troops to besiege it, the small Liyang City will definitely not be able to stop it.

In order to subdue Tai Shici, Long Xiang instructed Chen Lan not to expose his identity to the outside world, so he was still an independent warlord at this time.

Liyang City is close to the Yangtze River, and you can see the riverside situation without a clairvoyant mirror.

Tai Shi Xiang saw that there was a warship moving, and hurriedly found Chen Lan to remind: "General Chen, why are you not in a hurry?" There was a warship transfer by the river just now, it must be Lu Meng who went to send reinforcements, Liyang City can't stand the toss, you'd better find a way to ask for help"

Chen Lan turned around and asked meaningfully, "Does Childe have any suggestions?" ”

Taishi Xiang Zhengse said: "Quanjiao, Fuling and Guangling border, if Lu Fan leads troops from the east, the general can't take care of each other, if the general intends to be the enemy of Jiangdong, it's best not to fight alone, Huainan has Cao Cao, Long Xiang two major forces, you must at least unite with one of them"

"It makes sense, who does Childe think is better to unite?" Chen Lan turned her head and asked.

Tai Shixiang was noncommittal, and calmly analyzed: "Hefei is closer to Liyang, General Long is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he has helped his father before, and he is a person who can be friends, but his strength is relatively thin, and he may not dare to be an enemy of Jiangdong; Zhang Liao guarded Huainan for Cao Cao, and he could also fight habitually, depending on how General Chen chooses."

"Hahaha."

Chen Lan laughed loudly: "I once destroyed Cao Jun's rice field, wouldn't it be a sheep to go to Zhang Liao for help?" Long Yunqi and I used to have a comradeship, and I would choose him with my eyes closed, as for whether he dared to be an enemy of Jiangdong, it is not yet known. ”

"It is rumored that General Long has no ambitions," Tai Shixiang stopped abruptly halfway through his words.

"If you have great ambitions, how can outsiders know?"

Chen Lan smiled leisurely and added: "Don't worry, Childe, I have already had the heart to defect to Hefei, and before Lu Mengbing arrived in Liyang, I have sent someone to Hefei secretly, and I believe that General Long will intervene." ”

"I see."

Tai Shixiang suddenly realized, his hanging heart settled down a little, and suddenly asked curiously: "Since General Chen has the heart to join Hefei, why don't you invest sooner or later, but you want to wade into the troubled waters of Liyang?" ”

Chen Lan explained: "Gongzi is still young, even if I and General Long were once comrades, how can I attach to him empty-handed? I have to get a petition to send it, isn't this a coincidence? Occupy more Liyang, and the sincerity is more sufficient. ”

"Do you want to vote?"

Tai Shi Xiang was stunned when he heard this, he once said that before Chen Lan wanted to vote for Jiangdong, he had also spent a lot of effort to prepare for the nomination, but he didn't expect it to be like this now, he is really a principled person.

Thinking that Liyang had been occupied by Chen Lan and that Jiangdong had no place for his father and son, Tai Shixiang sighed and pleaded with Chen Lan: "My father was deceived by Lu Meng to go to Lu'an to fight, I am worried that he will be more auspicious and less lucky. Please General Long send troops to rescue my father, and my father and son are also willing to join his command. ”

"Childe is serious?"

Chen Lan couldn't bear the joy in her heart, frowned and asked Tai Shixiang: "It is rumored that Ling Zun has a strong temperament, and he is afraid that he would rather die than the second master, and General Long's lintel is not high, is he really willing to give in?" ”

Tai Shixiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although my father has a thin talent, he has been entrusted to a non-person in the first half of his life, although General Long's background is not high, but he can treat people sincerely, my father and son have fallen to this, what else do you talk about?" In addition, General Long is a famous general, and after Long, he is not wronged by his father. ”

"In that case, I will tell you on my behalf, but"

Chen Lan's words changed, and her face was embarrassed: "It's no problem for me to send someone to pass the word, but after all, there is no basis for what I say, and the son had better repair a book."

"Okay, I'll immediately repair the book to General Long to show my father and son's heart."

Tai Shixiang turned around and wanted to leave after speaking, Chen Lan hurriedly stopped him and reminded: "Son, slow down, you want General Long to send troops to save Ling Zun, you should write a letter to Ling Zun to show his heart, not to General Long."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Tai Shi Xiang nodded straightly: "If it weren't for General Chen's reminder, I almost missed a big thing." ”

"Hehe, I am heart-warming to save my father, Chen can understand."

Chen Lan stroked her beard kindly, and said in her heart that with Tai Shixiang's letter, General Long would be easy to do next.

Seeing Tai Shixiang walk down the city wall, Chen Lan glanced at the warships by the river, and then let out a disdainful sneer.

In the past two days of city defense, Chen Lan has seen through a lot of things.

The bandits who once followed him around to rob houses have been reborn after Lu Su's intensive training.

In the face of Lu Meng's elite siege, he was not afraid at all, and he had a slight upper hand in the battle, so what is there to fear about the Jiangdong rats? There are even more powerful Tiger Guards in Hefei.

When Lü Meng moved from Chaohu to Liyang, Lei Xu, who was stationed in Junxuan, also moved.

On the afternoon of the second day of the siege of Liyang, Lei Xu led his 5,000 troops to Quanjiao and stationed at the col at the junction of Liyang and Quanjiao, ready to go south in the name of Chen Lan at any time, so Tai Shixiang's worries did not exist at all.

Whether Lü Fan attacked Quanjiao and Fuling from Guangling, or Lü Meng transferred troops and horses from other places to Liyang to participate in the war, Chen Lan had both Lei Xu, a new force, and the grain and grass support of Hefei in the rear.

Chen Lan firmly believes that there is no problem in defending and not attacking, and there is no problem in persevering for a month.

Once Long Xiang and Lu Su have their hands freed, even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are deflated, is it not easy to clean up Lu Meng?

Tai Shixiang wrote a good letter to his family, and Chen Lan sent a fast horse to detour from Quanjiao and send it to Hefei for two or three days.

Long Xiang received the letter as if he had obtained a treasure, so he left Feng Zhong and Tang Yu to guard the old and new Hefei, and he took Xu Ding, Cao Xing, Qin Yilu and other generals to lead 5,000 troops straight to Lu'an.

In the second half of the first month, Zhang Liao sent troops to pursue Tai Shici, and Long Xiang took advantage of the emptiness of Lu'an to easily capture the city.

Long Xiang did not stop after capturing the city, and then led his troops to follow the march to the north, and he followed the imprint on the ground first north and then east.

Two days later, southeast of Shaobei, on the bank of the river.

Zhang Liao relied on his soldiers and sufficient food to defeat Tai Shici several times in a row, and at this time drove more than 1,000 remnants of Liyang to the west bank of the river, and had the posture of gathering and annihilating.

Tai Shici was stunned these days, and he took the initiative to evacuate to Shaobei in a state of lack of food, and encountered thousands of disheveled deserters on the way.

The deserters were like frightened wildebeests, galloping towards Tai Shici's military formation.

Tai Shi Ci had no choice but to face the battle, he didn't know that there was a group of 'shepherds' behind him, who were sitting on the mountain with a clairvoyant mirror to watch the tiger fight.

Although the soldiers were enjoying cutting melons and vegetables, they were stumped by the chaotic war, and at the same time, they were also caught up by Zhang Liao in the rear.

Tai Shici won first and then lost in the melee, and had no choice but to evacuate in the direction of Weishui, but Zhang Liao chased after him like a mad dog, and every time he was caught up, he had to lose hundreds of people.

The reason why Zhang Liao was crazy was because he learned that Li Dian was ambushed and killed in the mouth of Li Dian's surviving subordinates.

And those subordinates were frozen to delirium, and they didn't know who the enemy was at that time, so the description was unclear, and Zhang Liao preconceived that it was Tai Shici.

No wonder the gods and ghosts in the six installations turned out to be to calculate Li Mancheng.

Although Li Dian and Zhang Liao are not on good terms, if Zhang Liao does not behave well at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that Cao Cao will not condemn himself.

Tai Shici was forced to the river and had no way out, so he called the deputy general Zhao Fan to his side and instructed: "Zhang Liao is crazy, I will rush over and try to drag him down, even if you want to die, you have to pull off a layer of his skin, you find a way to break out of the encirclement, if you want to go to Zhao Taishou in the future, you will take the dog Yuanfu." ”

"General, let's go together."

Zhao Fan shook his head after hearing this, he knew that Tai Shi Ci already had the heart to die.
