After Zhuang Shaoyou discussed many matters with Tian Feng, Le Jin, and Qiao Mao, they dispersed.

Before dawn the next morning, Zhuang Shaoyou woke up from his sleep, looked at Zhang Ning, who was still asleep beside him, and couldn't help but gently pinch her delicate cheeks and muttered:

"Sleep like a pig!"

Zhang Ning frowned in his sleep, his little hand gently patted Zhuang Shaoyou's big hand, and then changed to a more comfortable position and continued to sleep.

Zhuang Shaoyou got up and dressed and opened the door, seeing that the rain outside had turned into a drizzling rain, Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep breath of fresh air, and suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic, as if he had endless energy, and did not feel tired because of the overnight battle.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella to the rain shelter next to it, he practiced Tai Chi sword and played five bird plays.

An hour later, the sky was already bright, Zhuang Shaoyou wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and went back to the room.

Entering the house, seeing that Zhang Ning on the couch was still immersed in sleep, Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head and smiled, washed his face, changed his clothes, and then walked towards the conference hall.

Tian Feng was the only one in the hall, and through Tian Feng's mouth, he learned that Le Jin was busy with the matter of bereavement and rewarding military merits, while Huang Zhong, Sun Guan, and Guan Hai were still with their own troops, and Sun Qian was to assist Taishou Qiao Mao, and gathered people early in the morning to carry out many matters arranged by Zhuang Shaoyou.

"Is there any news of Tai Shi Ci?"

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "General Hui, not yet!" Because of the heavy rain last night, the transmission of information by the Intelligence Department was blocked, and it is estimated that news will come at noon today. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou bowed slightly, his expression full of worry.

Tian Feng continued: "General, it rained for more than four hours yesterday! Although the rain has been lighter this morning, there is still no sign of clearing! This is absolutely extraordinary! According to the water division, the water level of the Yellow River has risen by at least one zhang! The pier in the north of the city has been flooded, and the river has flooded to the root of the city! And it continues to rise, at this rate, in another half a day, the city will be flooded! The sailor has already sent a boat upstream to investigate, and news will come back soon! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly: "Heaven is forgivable!" God it's going to rain, and we can't help it! Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven! However, Yuan Shao's son of a bitch should be in a more anxious hurry than General Ben! ”

Tian Feng smiled: "That's, according to the scout's report, the coalition forces outside the city are not small, there was a heavy rain last night, many of the coalition camps were flooded, and now they are busy looking for a high place to re-encamp!" In addition, the princes from all walks of life gathered in the west of the city, probably discussing where to go! ”

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, his eyes radiated a fierce gaze, and he immediately patted the case and said, "Someone!" Pass on my military orders! The first brigade of the naval division was ordered to strengthen the patrol of the river, and the movements of the coalition forces were closely monitored, and a single coalition army must not be allowed to cross the river! Order the second brigade to divide half of the warships to Puyang City! General Ben will definitely not let Yuan Benchu return to Hebei alive this time! ”

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

As soon as Yuan Shao was mentioned, Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't stop his anger, and the evil qi in his body was unconsciously released, although Tian Feng on the side had been prepared, he was still startled, and his back was instantly soaked.

After that, Zhuang Shaoyou went to the barracks to inspect and condolences to the soldiers who fought bloodily yesterday.

Zhuang Shaoyou's heart sighed infinitely, once he succeeded, is there really no other way to go?

Without too much sadness, Zhuang Shaoyou cheered up and went to inspect the people's livelihood in the city. Puyang City is low-lying, and after the rainstorm of four hours last night, the water in the city alone has reached more than two feet deep! Thousands of homes were crushed by the torrential rains, and tens of thousands of people's homes were flooded.

Fortunately, Taishou Qiao Mao did her best and handled it properly, everything was handled in an orderly manner, and the people's mood was very stable. But Zhuang Shaoyou's arrival has caused countless sensations, is this the general who is loyal to the people throughout the whole process? As young and handsome as the legend goes!

There are also many enthusiastic aunts who come up to persuade Zhuang Shao......

Zhuang Shaoyou, who really couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the masses, retreated all the way to the city lord's mansion, and finally calmed down, and at this time noon had passed.

In the council hall, Zhuang Shaoyou finally received all kinds of news from the Intelligence Department. Zhuang Shaoyou eagerly checked the news about Tai Shici first.

The night of the beginning of August, that is, last night.

After Tai Shi Ci led his troops to break through the siege, after a day of rapid marching and running for 200 miles, Yuan Shujun of Shouzhangcheng did not think that there would be a large army attacking, so the vigilance was very scattered, and the torrential rain poured into the city, and even the patrol team retreated back into the city tower. In the middle of the night, it rained to take Shouzhang City, and it took only one hundred-man team to take the city gate effortlessly, and then the iron cavalry broke in.

However, Shouzhang Castle is located in the hinterland of the Onozawa wetland, and the terrain is also very low-lying, and the heavy rain overnight caused the city to be waterlogged so deep that the cavalry could not be deployed, so Tai Shici could only order to dismount and fight on foot.

Yuan Shujun took Shouzhang the day before yesterday after raping and plundering in the city, on the night of the rainstorm, most of the Yuan Shujun hid in the occupied city houses, there was no collection at all, Tai Shi Ci got the news from the captive, and immediately divided his troops to prepare for a raid on the four city gates, and Tai Shi Ci personally led a brigade to attack the city lord's mansion, wanting to capture the king first.

It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and after Tai Shi Ci spent Niu Erhu's strength to attack the City Lord's Mansion, he found that Yuan Shu was not there! From Yuan Shu's captive eloquence, I learned that Yuan Shu saw the beautiful concubine of a wealthy merchant in Dongcheng yesterday, and stayed at the rich merchant for two consecutive nights.

When Tai Shi Ci led his troops to Dongcheng, Yuan Shu had already been alert, and under the desperate cover of three thousand soldiers, he broke through the city.

But that's not the end of the story.

In the early morning of the seventh day of the eighth month, General Hire led 5,000 men and horses after a day and a night of rapid marching, and also rushed to the territory of Juye.

As a result, it was a coincidence that after Yuan Shu led the remnants of the army to kill Shouzhang, when people were sleepy and tired, they also looked for a place to rest, and then, the two sides encountered in an unprepared situation!

Yuan Shu thought that he had encountered an ambush, but he was so frightened that he fled in a panic, and he was stunned at first, but he immediately woke up and immediately ordered to pursue at full speed!

After a chase battle in the rainstorm, more than half of Yuan Shu's 2,000 personal soldiers were annihilated, and only a few hundred people fled in panic, and then there was no trace of them.

In the battle, Yuan Shu's 25,000 army was completely annihilated, and nearly 10,000 were killed, more than half of them were beaten to death by the angry people of the city, and the remaining 15,000 people were captured! It's a big win!

Seeing this news, Zhuang Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief, Tai Shici's cavalry division was safe and sound, and a stone hanging in his heart could finally land smoothly. But then he hesitated again, looked up at Tian Feng, and asked:

"Military advisor, can these people of Yuan Shu surrender?"

Tian Feng carefully weighed the pros and cons, and then shook his head and said, "Back to General, I'm afraid it's difficult!" Not to mention that these soldiers are casual and their combat effectiveness is not high, the most important thing is that most of these soldiers are from Nanyang, and their loyalty is worrying! Or you can let Yuan Shu pay for it to redeem it, although it is a little inappropriate, but there is no good way! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou bowed slightly and agreed.

The second news turned out to be from Qingzhou.

At the beginning of August, the Fifth Infantry Division, under the leadership of Zhou Cang, connected the two counties of Qi and Le'an in the west of Qingzhou within one day, and the troops were directed at Jinan! Zhou Cang swore that after the rain stopped, he would lead the army to attack again, and he would definitely take Jinan and make a contribution to the Puyang War!

Zhuang Shaoyou was very stunned when he saw this, and scolded with some tears and laughter: "This Xun You, he thought that if he didn't say it, he wouldn't know that he did it?" actually took Zhou Cang to top the cylinder! Zhou Cang is too, this stupid guy has to count the money for others after being sold! ”

At this time, the county of Le'an County governed the city lord's mansion.

Zhou Cangzheng was holding a roast pork elbow and gnawing violently, eating it with oily faces. Xun You sat opposite and looked at Zhou Cang's indecent eating appearance with a smile, and took a sip of the tea bowl from time to time.

Zhou Cang chewed his elbow and asked vaguely, "Mr. Xun, this time it's thanks to you!" Then why don't you put your name in the book? Without you, it wouldn't have been so easy to win! ”

Xun You smiled: "I was able to take down Qi and Le'an because General Zhou fought bravely, dared to fight, and took the lead, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, so I won the battle with all my might!" Xun is just moving his mouth, but he doesn't dare to say that he has the power of size! The general's eyes are bright! ”

Zhou Cang pondered for a long time, and couldn't figure it out!

What should I do if I don't understand?

Don't want to!

Concentrate on the back elbow of the pig.

This battle was completely instigated by Xun You, and Zhou Cang, a foodie, was suddenly moved by Xun You, without considering the consequences. But Xun You knew that Zhuang Shaoyou's main task of leaving him behind was to guard Qingzhou, stabilize the people's hearts internally, guard against internal rebellions, and guard against the invasion of Taoqian in Xuzhou externally. And this battle is completely Xun Yu's own initiative.

Therefore, Xun You thought of a compromise and took Zhou Cang to the top cylinder! made a small use of Zhou Cang and completely cleared himself from this matter. Because Xun You calculated that Zhuang Shaoyou would not take Zhou Cang, and he would be rewarded!

As for Xun You himself, he looks down on these fame and fortune a lot, and now he is the deputy general staff, and he is the general staff of Tian Toyoda, who Xun You admires very much, so he has no idea of fighting. And Xun You believes that after this battle, Zhuang Shaoyou will definitely be rewarded for his merits, and Xun You's share will be indispensable at that time.

Because, the general's eyes are bright.

Tian Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhuang Shaoyou's laughter and scolding: "General, this is also a good thing, now that the two sides have no intention of fighting, Qingzhou's actions can also put some pressure on the coalition forces very well, so that we have more bargaining chips when negotiating!" ”

As soon as he heard the negotiation, Zhuang Shaoyou's face immediately turned grim, and he asked with a solemn expression: "Military advisor, if I want to send Yuan Shao's head to the coalition army, do you think they will agree?" ”

Tian Feng was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment before saying uncertainly: "I'm afraid it's difficult!" After all, Yuan Shao is the leader of the coalition army, and asking the coalition army to hand over the head of the alliance leader is a great insult to all the princes of the coalition army, and they will not agree! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou sighed and said, "It seems that General Ben has to do it himself!" ”
