Xu Shu and Li Yan helped Zhang Fei arrange the next action plan clearly, and Zhang Fei only had to follow it.

This feeling of just leading the troops to fight without thinking about it is really too much for Zhang Fei's appetite.

Over the next two days, the operations of the two lines in the north and south were carried out in parallel in an orderly manner according to the plan.

The northern front was led by Zhang Fei himself with 3,000 cavalry, sleeping day and night, and was expected to arrive in Yidao County on 23 April.

Li Yan also didn't care that his equestrian skills were not very exquisite, tied himself to the horse, and reluctantly followed the troops to gallop so as not to fall off the horse.

He shouldered the task of persuading Dong He, and he must act with the army, and he must not be left behind.

It is said that it is also the camp of Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei was on the way to Yidao County, when he encountered a reconnaissance scout sent by Xing Daorong.

It should be that Xing Daorong knew that Liu Bei sent troops to quell Zhang Xian's rebellion, and on the way to urgently retreat, he was scattered on the south bank to be responsible for searching and covering the flank of the army - the withdrawal of the army is a very complicated work, and when the army retreats by water, it is not just a matter of burying one's head in the Yangtze River and driving a boat.

In order to ensure the safety of the marching roads of the army, it is necessary to send cavalry scouts to the north and south banks of the Yangtze River to search and ensure that there are no enemy troops nearby, especially in the small rivers of the forked tributaries along the Yangtze River, and there are no enemy fleets ambushing.

The scout that Zhang Fei bumped into was obviously also of this attribute.

At that time, Zhang Fei was very excited, and took the lead with the personal guard cavalry to rush over the mountains and fields.

The other party was just a reconnaissance force, with a total of only more than 100 horsemen, and in the face of Zhang Fei, of course, he was crushed at the first touch, and dozens of horsemen were killed and dozens of horsemen were captured.

More than ten horsemen fled along the river, seeking to avoid the muddy places of the river beach and the dense jungle on the shore, and Zhang Fei could not search and kill them one by one.

But it doesn't matter anymore, leave a few to flee back and report to Xing Daorong, just enough to remind Xing Daorong "Don't expect to retreat from Yidao County, this road has been blocked by the counterinsurgency army."

If these scouts were really caught just now, Zhang Fei would have a headache how to act, and deliberately put a few back to report the news, and now this is just right.

And when the scouts fled, it was impossible for them all to run in one direction, and they would not all be so loyal that they had to go back to report to the boss if they forgot their lives.

Zhang Fei marched from southeast to northwest, up the Yangtze River, and most of the defeated enemy scouts fled to the northwest, and these people could be driven by Zhang Fei to Yidao County.

Even if the number of people is too small to attack Yidao County, as long as they appear in the countryside of Yidao County and disturb the local people, it will inevitably cause the villagers outside the city to seize the road back to the city, making Dong He feel the threat of the rebels.

In this way, when Zhang Fei later arrived in Yidao County, it would be easier to persuade Dong He to surrender - if there was no Zhang Xian's rebels to disrupt the situation, Dong He could still say that he was not threatened, he did not need others to help defend him, and he was loyal to Liu Biao.

But now that the rebels have come, it means that it is very likely that Xing Daorong's main force will retreat in the future, and Dong He wants to rely on his own strength to be loyal to Liu Biao and block Xing Daorong, but he can't do it anymore, and he will only be crushed in vain.

At this time, he just voted for Zhang Fei half-pushed, which was also a helpless move.

For example, this is like Huang Quan's defection to Wei after the Battle of Yiling in history. Huang Quan also has a reason to say: I don't want to vote for Wei, it's not that Wu Gou has cut off my way to return to Han, I can't return to Han and can only vote for Wei.

Dong He was about to be cut off by Xing Daorong on his way back to Liu Biao, but this time he himself was in Yidao on the south bank of the Yangtze River instead of Yiling on the north bank, and the object of his allegiance was in Yiling on the north bank.

Dong He can't beat himself, and Liu Bei and Liu Biao are still allies, all to resist the enemy, and they are not chilling.

……

The villain cooperated too well, and Zhang Fei's persuasion to surrender was very smooth, and the next day, when he arrived at Yidao on time, everything was as expected, and he cooperated meticulously.

An hour or two before Zhang Fei arrived, Xing Daorong's scattered scouts, who were chased by Zhang Fei, robbed several villages around the county seat, supplied some food supplies and clothes, and then didn't dare to go to the county seat, just grabbed things and ran away.

The robbed people fled into the county one after another, bringing the news of Xing Daorong's chaotic army approaching to Dong He, which made Dong He frown for a while, and ordered all city gates to be closed, and banned from entering and leaving in the last few days.

And just when Dong He was panicking, Zhang Fei arrived, and pretended to go around the city shouting and killing for a while, and finally grabbed dozens of Xing Daorong Army scout cavalry captives and escorted them to the city gate, and said to Dong He, "This is the Xing Daorong Department of Zhang Xian's rebel army that was pursued and intercepted near Yidao County."

These words were conveyed by Li Yan, and Dong He saw that he was a person he knew, or a colleague from a neighboring county, so he naturally did not doubt him and was grateful to Zhang Fei.

Li Yan directly relayed the lines that Xu Shu had said when he persuaded him to surrender three days ago, and after a little fine-tuning, and added the ironclad evidence of the rebels after all, Dong He immediately opened the city gate and surrendered directly.

There is no need to repeat the specific lines, because the changes are really not much.

Dong He greeted him very sincerely and asked people to prepare a cow wine to reward the army:

"Two days ago, I heard that there were rebels raging in Jiangbei, and it seemed that they had surrounded Jiangling. Thanks to General Zhang's righteous help, he rushed hundreds of miles to save my soldiers and civilians! ”

Zhang Fei was so complimented by Dong He, he was actually a little embarrassed, and said in his heart that we came to make a forced landing, how could the person who surrendered in the end still be so grateful to Dade?

Zhang Fei almost missed his mouth between words and responses, but fortunately he held back.

He didn't even dare to drink too much that day, for fear of drinking too much and talking nonsense, which was very different from the state when he was forced to land in Xiaoling a few days ago.

……

After Zhang Fei entered the city, he roughly inspected the city defense, and left a few Qu cavalry to take over everywhere, responsible for helping Dong He clear the surrounding area and strengthen the defense line.

Zhang Fei was also in a hurry, and took care that Dong He must raise his own banner in Yidao, so as to force Xing Daorong's position to the greatest extent, so that he would not dare to retreat on the road of Yidao County.

When Dong He heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, so he immediately complied, and immediately asked people to find a lot of banners, and also accepted the banners of General Pi brought by Zhang Fei, all of which were inserted in the head of Yidao City, pretending that the troops in the city were strong.

In fact, Zhang Fei's occasional plan with a flash of inspiration has another layer of clever use:

After Xing Daorong retreated, if Liu Biaojun reacted, reinforcements arrived, and he also crossed the river to pursue, once he saw that Yidao County was the banner of Dong He, it was possible for Liu Biaojun's generals to come to take over the city.

But if they see Zhang Fei's banner planted at the head of Yidao County, confirming that Zhang Fei's troops are defending the city and Dong He no longer has military command, then Liu Biaojun's generals will be worried about direct conflict and friction with Liu Beijun, so they will not dare to take the risk of receiving it.

In this way, Zhang Fei relied on his thick-skinned and ignorant character to stabilize this territory.

After all this was done, Zhang Fei didn't stay in Yidao for long, he knew that after the smoke bomb was released, it would be impossible for Xing Daorong to really retreat on the road of Yidao, this trick was only used to block Xing Daorong's move.

Therefore, Zhang Fei didn't dare to stop much, and only rested for one night and began to "turn back and run" again, taking the cavalry back to Xiaoling.

But this time he didn't dare to go too fast on the road, because according to Xu Shu's expectations before the war, when he arrived in Xiaoling this time, it was very likely that he would fall directly into an encounter with Xing Daorong.

Those who travel hundreds of miles and are interested in profit, can be generals. Zhang Fei didn't want to run when he was sleepy and tired, he was hit by Xing Daorong and capsized in the gutter. It is better to walk a little slower on the return journey for a day, so that the soldiers can rest their strength before engaging the enemy, and recharge their energy before fighting again.

Moreover, his 5,000 infantry stayed in the city to wait for work, with Xu Shu leading the troops. Xu Shu can definitely do it to defend the city or go out of the city a little to stop Xing Daorong for a day or two.

……

The words are divided into three ends.

Zhang Fei sent troops to Yidao County on the eve of the war, and Xu Shu was guarding the city in Xiaoling.

On the Yangtze River, more than 100 miles downstream of Xiaoling County, Ganning, who has been going upriver on the Yangtze River channel for the past few days, also encountered friendly sentinel ships that were going down the river from Xiaoling to report the news.

The sentinel ship sent Zhang Fei's letter, and the messenger also specially sent a person whom Gan Ning knew. After Gan Ning confirmed that the person and the letter were correct, he thought about it for a while, and decided to follow Zhang Fei's advice and order the fleet to slow down immediately.

"Command the whole army! All the ships stopped paddling, allowing the soldiers to rest their strength and sail only on the sails. From tomorrow onwards, it will also be rowing during the day, and at night, in addition to the rotation of sails and steering, the rest of the people will also sleep peacefully! ”

Gan Ning's order was quickly executed, but the execution was carried out, and the generals around him were still quite puzzled, and couldn't help asking:

"General, the river section near Jiangling and Xiaoling is tortuous and circuitous, if the boat against the current is not supplemented by oars, and only relies on the power of the sail, I am afraid that it will not be able to travel even thirty miles in one night, wouldn't it be a mistake? By now, Xing Daorong must have known about the existence of our army, and if our army slows down, I am afraid that it will be too late to prevent Xing Daorong from crossing the Yangtze River south. ”

When Gan Ning heard this, he just smiled proudly and confidently explained the purpose of this plan to his subordinates:

"It's okay, what I want is for Xing Dao Rong'an to cross the Yangtze River in a safe and stable way, and it is best to be intimidated by the might of our army and avoid the battle and hide in the mouth of the oil river. Then our army caught up and took the mouth of the oil river, and after Xing Daorong abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, the fleet was all captured by our army, why not!

As for Xing Daorong after he goes ashore, he doesn't have to worry about him running away, Xu County Commander will guard the city of Xiaoling, so that Xing Daorong can't steal it directly, if he gives up taking the avenue and takes a detour, Yide will also make him look good. ”

After the subordinates heard about this plan, they praised and praised the general's clever plan.

Gan Ning was proud, and after more than a day, he went completely according to plan.

However, things didn't seem to go exactly according to the deduction - Zhang Fei and Gan Ning could only anticipate their own response, but they didn't expect the enemy's reaction.

Just when Gan Ning thought that he was driving the boat slowly enough to give Xing Daorong a chance to drill into the mouth of the oil river, Xing Daorong did not drill into it.

Early this morning, Gan Ning was having breakfast on the ship, and the sentinel under his command suddenly reported:

"General! Dozens of miles upstream, we found that the fleet of Changsha rebels was speeding down the river, and it had already crossed the mouth of the Youjiang River, but it did not turn into the mouth of the Youjiang River and came straight to us! ”

Gan Ning listened and couldn't believe his ears: "What? Xing Daorong: Is this crazy? He knew I was here, and he came straight at me? Is this trying to fight a water battle with me on the Yangtze River and break through me head-on? ”

Gan Ning suddenly had a kind of "I obviously took the script of the eagle catching the chicken, and I wanted to use the power of the eagle to force the other party to move." But I didn't expect the chick on the opposite side to come straight to the eagle, and I wanted to kill the eagle head-on."

Although I don't know what Xing Daorong's strength is, his courage is really ruthless.

What's the difference between this and an antelope sliding against a tiger?
