"The army is not stable, and there may be a mutiny tonight. I have made up my mind, so why not do the opposite and attack the city immediately! Maybe the morale of the army can be a little more stable." Zang Ba continued.

At this time, the generals were even more numb. Yin Li, Sun Guan, and Sun Kang could not speak anymore. Wu Dun was really helpless and could only speak: "Brother, I know you want to use offense as defense to maintain the morale of the army.

, but with the current situation in the camp, how can we still persuade the soldiers to move forward?"

"Then it's not my business, it's my business. Please do it!" Zang Ba disagreed. "My business is to convince you, and it's already been done. Why can't you convince them?"

The generals wanted to complain, but unexpectedly, Zang Ba began to scold him directly while starting to wear his armor:

"I don't want you to talk about any difficulties. I just want to attack from three sides in the morning, set up the ladder again, hit the wood, and attack the city together!"

Wu Dun and others looked at each other in shock, but they were so suppressed by Zang Ba that they could not resist, so they had no choice but to agree, and then went back to the camp to show off their abilities.

Some people, like Brother Sun Guan, usually run the army very strictly, so they closed the camp gate, sang a harmony, found out those who were noisy and wanted to leave, cut off their heads and hung them on the camp gate, and gave out rewards to appease people's hearts;

There are also people like Yin Li who are easy-going with the soldiers, so they talk sincerely and bring out their friendship for more than ten years to make an agreement with the officers and ask them to persuade the soldiers below;

There are also people like Xiao Jian who are incompetent, but they can temporarily deceive the soldiers, saying that this battle is a feint attack, wait for two days of continuous attack, and immediately take advantage of the city's unpreparedness to cross the Shu River to the east and return home.

You can easily go back to Haiqu, and once you return to Haiqu, you will have countless seafood that you can eat endlessly... Some people actually believe it;

There are even people like Wu Dun who want to kill people but don’t have the determination, want to deceive people but don’t have the eloquence, and want to be loyal but no one believes him, which leads to a mutiny on the spot, and then forces Zang Ba to personally lead the soldiers over, directly.

To suppress it, we reluctantly sent out troops!

When the Xuzhou Navy, who was responsible for monitoring the Langya soldiers in the Yishui River, saw this, they flew downstream, and then hoisted a flag to alert the people on the city... In fact, this was unnecessary. You must know that Tancheng is located in the Yishui River, Shu

Between the water and the two rivers, it is only a few miles away. How big is the camp of 40,000 to 50,000 Langya soldiers? There was movement below the city, which alerted the Zhou governor in the city.

In other words, Governor Zhou, with his feather fan and silk scarf and the attitude of a Confucian general, has already been standing on the tower in the northwest corner of the city, looking at the Langya Army camp below the city all morning!

But unexpectedly, looking at the apparently struggling Langya camp, Governor Zhou, who had the upper hand, could not help but gradually become uneasy. This was in sharp contrast to Guo Fengxiao, who was washing people's feet while killing people.

It has to be said that Zhou Yu's sense of smell on the battlefield is still very good, which is a kind of talent... The first thing that made him uneasy was none other than the return of Sun Guan, who had colluded with him in the Langya camp outside the city three days ago.

The message said that Guan Yunchang could send support to Kaiyang at any time!

This is of course reasonable and must be guarded against, so Zhou Gongjin immediately ordered the main force of the navy to be careful to guard against the enemy forces in the direction of Wushui in the west after taking Kaiyang City.

However, at this time, Zhou Yu vaguely sensed a hint of conspiracy, because the method of obtaining information described by Sun Guan was somewhat familiar to him - when his friend Jiang Gan came to visit him that day, Zhou Gongjin, just in case

, so he forged a letter of surrender from Changxi and Xuzhou, in order to use as many channels as possible to promote the Qingzhou side to rectify the Langya generals and facilitate the southward movement in addition to rumors.

Of course, Jiang Qian was so elegant and did not look at those things during the whole process, which made Zhou Yu feel quite ashamed, so much so that he still misses Jiang Qian... But in any case, this method is so similar that Zhou Yu immediately

He became wary of Guo Fengxiao, who he originally regarded as the person in his palm.

Only, vigilance turns to vigilance, worry turns to worry, Zhou Gongjin really can’t figure out where the possible flaw is!

Kaiyang is bait?

But the strategic goal this time is Kaiyang, a strategically important military territory, and it is impossible not to attack it. With Kaiyang in hand, it will not only pose a threat to Qingzhou, but also suppress Guan Yu on the west side of Mount Tai, greatly easing the pressure on Xiahou Dun, and it is impossible to say that he can't

He and Xiahou Dun attacked from both sides, and it was impossible to defeat Guan Yu!

Do the 50,000 Langya soldiers in front of us still have the strength to counterattack?

It's impossible! The rivers are locked on both sides, and Tancheng's fortified city is blocked by heavy troops. The 50,000-strong army is running out of food, so they just wait for the enemy to collapse.

In fact, according to Zhou Yu's observation and Sun Guan's report, Langya Bing can indeed not hold on any longer!

However, now the second doubt comes again. It is clear that they can no longer hold on, and they are clearly about to collapse, but why do Zang Xuangao and Guo Fengxiao still hold on? What gives them the confidence? Or what are they covering for?!

But the entire battlefield is under his perfect control?!

A long and narrow battlefield, with Yishui on the left and Shushui on the right, from top to bottom, starting from Sun Guan's Ju County, Kaiyang, Qiu, to Tancheng at his feet, it was really perfectly controlled!

At noon, Zhou Yu held the feather fan in his hand and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked coldly at the Langya army that was dispersing like a joke. However, he gradually frowned amidst the cheers of the soldiers at the top of the city... His intuition on the battlefield told him that he must be

I'm missing something key, but I can't figure out what it is?!

There was an autumn wind blowing from the direction of Yishui, bringing the smell of blood and clear water. This was a sign of a change in the direction of the wind. But Zhou Gongjin had expected it, but he didn't care... He took a long breath, and then began to close his eyes.

So, take stock of the uncertain factors outside the battlefield in your mind:

First of all, it must not be Shenpei. If he does not have reinforcements, he will definitely try his best to protect Qingzhou at this time. Even if he has reinforcements and uses the autumn harvest as the boundary, he will not have time to go south!

Secondly, it should not be the Qingzhou Navy going south... Although the Qingzhou Navy going south may block the mouth of the Huaihe River and may capture several coastal cities along the way, there is no need to worry about it because they cannot intervene in the current battlefield in time.

Unless they can fly, they can fly thousands of miles in one breath, all the way to Xiapi, or Tancheng at their feet.

Then... there is only Guan Yu. Just as Kaiyang falls into his hands, it will pose a great threat to Guan Yu. Before solving Zang Ba, Guan Yu also poses a great threat to Kaiyang. This should be the only reasonable one.

, Hebei's idea of ​​​​reversing this battle.

But the problem is that he has made precautionary preparations against Guan Yu in Kaiyang, but the opponent shows no sign of appearing on the Yishui battlefield!

So things come back again, Zhou Yu still can't think of anything that can threaten his success in this battle! In two or three days at most, Langya's army will completely collapse. By then, he will wipe out Langya's 50,000 troops, advance the battle line to Kaiyang, and then fight with

Xiahou Dun united in the Wushui area and forced Guan Yu to retreat, winning a great victory for the Eastern Front!

The names of Liu Yuzhou and Zhou Gongjin will also be engraved in the minds of people all over the world!

However, after sighing and looking at the Langya soldiers who were encouraged to attack the city again in the afternoon, Zhou Yu couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

"Hao Duwei sent his troops down to Xiapi?" At the same time, at the pass of Geyi Mountain in the west of Xiapi City, the wide Yishui Floating Bridge welcomed another large team of civilians. Of course, Cao Bao, the general in charge of this place, would not inspect it personally.

It was just a military commander surnamed Zhang who came down from the mountain camp to conduct an inspection. "With so many civilians, why haven't we contacted them before?"

"I've seen Brother Zhang!" Qianshi Sima of Haopu's Ministry, who was responsible for escorting the civilian husband, answered seriously with an extremely standard Taishan accent. "That's right, the military order was issued by the Zhou Governor of Tancheng, and the navy directly came from

The water from Yishui was sent to our country of Zhuang. You should also know that there is no fighting in the country of Zhuang. However, there are already 40,000 to 50,000 enemy troops gathered in Tancheng. We Captain Hao did not dare to neglect and immediately recruited all the troops.

The county citizen traveled under the stars and night to get here in three days, for fear of being delayed! You see, they are all very strong..."

The Army Sima who was in charge of inspecting the documents nodded repeatedly and did not listen carefully at all: "Hao Duwei's seal is correct. There is a war on the front line. The more civilians the better, thank you for your hard work..."

"We also brought a lot of ordnance!" Sima Haopu's subordinate quickly interjected again as if to show his merit. "We, the captain, heard that the war in Tancheng was tense, so we specially took thousands of spears and Huanshou swords from the arsenal of the state of Zang.

, there are also hundreds of war hammers, as well as some leather armor, iron armor... It's a pity that there are no golden drums."

Zhang Sima, who belonged to Cao Bao, nodded perfunctorily again: "It can be seen that Captain Hao has really tried his best. If we win this battle, Governor Zhou will definitely be rewarded in the future."

At this point, the person probably disliked the other party's nagging, but he directly handed the document back to the other party and simply let him go: "After passing the pontoon bridge, turn around the pass, don't stay at the bottom of the mountain, that is the military camp, go to the camp south of the city to settle down...

This man is so big and has such a long beard, why not join the army?"

Sima Haopu was relaxed for a moment, but then sneered nervously: "This is a native of our country, and he was originally going to be persuaded by me to join the army. However, this year's autumn harvest was not enough, and he still has three or four children at home, so he did not dare to join the army."

, just because he was tall, he made him a leader of the people."

Sima Zhang also sighed for a moment: "Isn't the autumn harvest in your Taishan place bad? Forget it, go over quickly!"

"It's really not good." Haopu's Sima was relieved when he heard this, but he couldn't help but follow someone's eyes and ask again. "I dare to ask my brother, who is in charge of the city now? I will finish the resettlement in the south of the city later.

When you become a civilian husband, who can you turn to when you enter the city to hand over your weapons and weapons, and who can you turn to to take orders?"

Cao Bao's subordinates finally looked at the other party seriously, but they didn't mean to be perfunctory. Instead, they whispered a few words: "Xiapi is the prefecture of Xuzhou, a hub on the east line, and the situation is complicated... There are many people in the city who can make the decision, such as

Governor Chen, Chen Zhi, Cao Zhi, Chen Xiaowei, and Lord Mi are all in the city, and we, General Cao, are also in charge outside the city. After you enter the city, if you don't want to get into trouble, go to see Governor Chen. If you want to follow the rules, go and find him.

Lieutenant Chen, if you want to seek convenience, you might as well go find Cao Cao!"

"I know Governor Chen, Colonel Chen and his son, and I also know that Cao Zongzong is the uncle of General Cao's family, as well as Lord Mi Fu, and Lieutenant Mi Du, not to mention, who among us Xuzhou people doesn't know... But there is another

What is the role of Chen Zhi?" The officer from the country became more and more curious.

The goodwill that Cao Bao's subordinates had just aroused suddenly disappeared, but they were too lazy to pay attention to this country bumpkin: "Of course it is Chen Changwen who is responsible for it! He is from Huainan and is responsible for supervising Xuzhou!"

Sima Haopu, who was guarding the civilian husband, suddenly realized it and almost blurted out: "It's the winter snake on the card! There are actually four cards in one city?!"

Cao Bao's subordinates just pretended not to hear and went up the mountain with their hands behind their backs.

As soon as the other party left, the Sima of Haopu's tribe turned around and looked at the tall civilian village chief next to him. He no longer hesitated and drove thousands of civilians in white, loaded with ordnance, across the upper reaches in an extremely easy way.

Zang Bajun regarded the Yishui River as a natural moat, and then majestically crossed the Geyi Mountain Pass, a defensive fortress outside Xiapi City, and finally calmly settled in the camp in the south of the city.

After a moment, the Sima of the Haopu tribe, a local Taishan general under Guan Yu, a smart officer named Kong Xiu, brought another song of "Haopu tribe" soldiers and horses, and the "people's men" of the four villages, pressing down.

More than a dozen carts of ordnance, armor and food and other things, holding Hao Pu's documents, went to the city to find the "Colonel Chen Yuanlong" who was responsible for the deployment of civilians and paid the supplies.

The city gate guards saw with their own eyes that the weapons, armor, and rations were of the correct quality, as well as the official scriptures. In addition, the triple city wall of Xiapi, and the outer wall did not restrict the small group of troops. They had nothing to say, so they just let them go.

Seeing that Kong Xiu successfully entered the city, Guan Yunchang was not in a hurry. Instead, he was still wearing white clothes and straw sandals, lighting fires, boiling water, eating and soaking his feet in the camp, just like the civilians in the surrounding camps when they arrived on the first day.

But when the sky completely darkened, thousands of civilians in Guan Yunchang's camp, who had finished their rest and had a good meal, put on their armor and leather shoes with excellent toughness, picked up their spears and daggers, and suddenly made a big attack in the south.

Set fire to the camp!

A fire broke out in the south of the city. Mi Fang, the prefect of Xiapi and directly responsible for the defense of Xiapi, thought at first that the civilians had accidentally escaped from the water, so he directly ordered the south gate to be opened to let the soldiers go out to put out the fire... Poor Kong Xiu waited in the city until dark.

He had just finished dressing up and was preparing to fight a bloody battle to seize the city gate to repay Guan Yu for his kindness. However, he almost didn't fight with any force and directly occupied the southern gate tower of Xiapi City, which is the famous White Gate Tower!

After occupying the city tower, someone gave him an order to maintain order in the Baimen Tower and to keep the city gate open!

Kong Xiu was dumbfounded. He stood on the White Gate Tower and watched the fire outside the city getting bigger and bigger. Then he watched countless torches connected into a sea of ​​​​fire like that night. The sea of ​​​​fire turned into a fire dragon, and along with the noise and noise,

, directly passed through the south gate of Xiapi City under his feet, and headed towards the chaotic inner city of Xiapi.

What made Kong Xiu even more weird was that he had done nothing, but when his own General Guan, who was fully clothed, flying the flag of General Zhendong and majestic, passed by the city gate, he actually praised himself for being so clever!

In the sixth year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty, on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, during the fierce battle in Guandu, Guan Yunchang, the general of Zhendong, went south in white clothes and made a surprise attack on Xiapi. Xiapi City, which was protected by triple walls but did not have many troops at all, fell almost immediately. The governor of Xuzhou
