After being persuaded by Deputy Director Tao's crow's words and suffering a big loss on the Suishui battlefield, little Yuan Sangong's mind, which was dazzled by his ambition to become emperor, finally calmed down and finally listened to the objections of Zhou Yu and others.

Zhongyan finally adopted the correct tactics to confront the Xuzhou army, and the Xuzhou army's trouble finally came.

Having learned the lesson that the fighting generals were not as good as the Xuzhou army, Xiao Yuan Sangong listened to the suggestions of Zhou Yu, Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, and decided to once again strengthen the defense of the Gaohuangshan camp and build new ones based on the original trenches and stockades.

A fortification wall was built to protect the camp, and the trenches were widened and deepened. There were more antlers to block the horses, making it difficult for the Xuzhou army to attack directly. At the same time, in order to prevent the Xuzhou army from dispatching Xiangyang artillery to attack the mountain, Zhou Yu also suggested that Yuan Shu set up a position 300 steps away from the camp.

Another deep trench was dug, and water from mountain streams and springs was drawn to fill the trench. This not only served as a defense against Xiangyang artillery, but also added a defensive buffer. Xiao Yuan Sangong, who was grateful to his son-in-law for risking his life to save his life, immediately adopted it and ordered the troops to act according to the plan.

.

Sensing Xiao Yuan Sangong's evil intentions of insisting on slowing down the war, Tao Ying was still calm, but he was still a little anxious. He sent troops across the river several times to fight, but Xiao Yuan Sangong refused to come out, no matter how insulted and provoked the Xuzhou army was.

, refused to leave the camp for a decisive battle, no matter what, the Xuzhou army made several tentative attacks, but they were all driven back by Yuan Shujun's strong bows and crossbows, and were forced to retreat. They watched helplessly as Yuan Shujun's camp became stronger and stronger, and the guards became stronger and stronger.

Becoming more and more strict.

After such a confrontation for more than ten days, Deputy Director Tao, whose rear was not stable enough, felt that the situation was not good, and wanted to attack Xiao Yuan Sangong's camp head-on at all costs. However, considering that his own troops were far inferior to Xiao Yuan Sangong's camp, he decided to attack Xiao Yuan Sangong's camp head-on.

Once it was too big, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the idea had to be given up. In desperation, Deputy Director Tao, who had always regarded himself as a tactical genius, had no choice but to seek advice from Chen Gui and Lu Su, asking them if they had any strategies to defeat the enemy.

"Lord, why don't you divide your troops to cut off Yuan Shu's food route?" Lu Su suggested: "Although Huainan is rich in money and food, it is not inferior to Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu has concentrated on the people, so he has no worries about food and grass. However, the food and grass for his army will always be limited. If the Lord

Detach an army and go south to cut off Yuan Shu's food routes and cut off his support. When Yuan Shu's food supplies are exhausted, it will not be difficult to break them."

"I have considered this method again and again. But as far as our army scouts have found, Yuan Shu's army can use food and grass for at least two months. Cutting off his food channel is too slow to take effect." Tao Ying frowned and said: "And Yuan Shu still has water to transport.

For grain, even if our army's partial division cuts off its land route for grain, Yuan Shu can transport grain across the water to Mengcheng, avoid our army's interception and then send it to the front line, making it difficult for our army to cut off his grain and grass supplies."

Lu Su, who was not good at tactics, stopped talking. Chen Gui frowned and said, "I had thought of tricking Yuan Shu into surrendering before, but in the battle of Suishui, our army had already killed Yuan Shu.

If we have the upper hand and I try to feign surrender again, I'm afraid that not only will Yuan Shu see through it, but even if Yuan Shu falls into the trap, he won't dare to attack easily."

Tao Ying nodded silently. He also regretted that he had not deceived the enemy the day before, and that he had killed Yuan Shu too hard. It would be even more difficult to lure him out of danger. At this time, Chen Gui suddenly said: "My lord, since Yuan Shu

We are determined to defend slowly, but our army has no good plan to lure him out of danger for a decisive battle. Then why don't you avoid the truth and avoid luring him to a decisive battle, and simply divide your troops to attack Yuan Shu's partial army!"

"Divide our troops to attack Yuan Shu's partial division?" Lu Su asked in surprise: "Han Yu Gong, is this plan too risky? Our army's strength is far inferior to Yuan Shu's, so we divide our troops to attack his partial division. Our army on the Zhuyi battlefield

Our troops are even thinner, what if Yuan Shu takes advantage of the weakness and attacks?"

"If Yuan Shu comes to attack, our army will just stick to Zhuyi." Chen Gui replied lightly: "Zhuyi is only 110 miles away from Xiangxian County, and our army has built a large number of fortifications on the north bank of the Suishui River.

, even if Yuan Shu comes to attack, it will not be a big problem to hold on for a few days until the lord returns for reinforcements. Once our army defeats Yuan Shu's partial division, the 5,000 regular troops on the Xiangxian battlefield can immediately free up their hands and go south to help our main force defeat the enemy, and even more

Increase your chances of winning.”

Tao Ying pondered, and after weighing for a moment, Tao Ying responded: "What Han Yu said is right. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to divide our troops to attack Yuan Shu's partial division and defeat his partial division. This will free up our troops and I will do the same."

There is no need to do two things at once. While you are trying to lure the enemy, you should also be distracted on the battlefield in Xiangxian County."

Lu Su nodded and did not object. He just suggested: "My lord is raising troops to attack Yuan Shu's partial army. It is necessary to prevent Yuan Shu from dividing his troops to reinforce Xiangxian County, and to add more troops and firewood, Xiangxian County will also be engaged in a battle, which will completely disperse our army's strength. I'm following.

Seeing that my lord could use people to spread rumors, he said that Liu Bei was attacking the East China Sea. My lord, you should send troops to rescue the East China Sea. First, take the road north to Wuxian County. After hearing this, Yuan Shu must have suspected that the lord was luring him to fight, and he did not dare to divide his troops and hold on harder.

, My lord, if you suddenly advance westward from Wuxian, take the small road to attack Yuan Shu's partial army, Yuan Shu's partial army will be caught off guard and it will be extremely easy to defeat him."

Tao Ying laughed and immediately adopted Lu Su's plan. He sent people to spread rumors in the countryside, saying that the three Taozi brothers were taking advantage of the fire to rob and attack the East China Sea. He wanted to lead his army back to the East China Sea to rescue. At the same time, Tao Ying left Zang Ba, Lu Su, Chen Gui and

Chen Dao and others guarded the Zhuyi camp. They led Tao Ji, Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and five thousand elite troops to the north, packed up and returned to the East China Sea to aid, and rushed all the way to Wu County, where the Junzi Army had been training. Yuan Shu's army carefully planned

After detecting the movement with the scouts, they immediately reported it to Little Yuan Sangong.

Not to mention, after little Yuan Sangong heard the news, he actually believed it. He felt that the opportunity had come and was ready to attack. Zhou Yu, Qiao Rui and others stopped him. Zhou Yu also said: "Father-in-law, this must belong to Tao Ying's son."

It was a trick to lure the enemy. Our army stood firm and refused to fight. Tao Ying's son did not dare to attack our well-defended strong camp, so he wanted to use this subtle trick to lure our army into fighting. If my father-in-law sent troops rashly, he would definitely fall into Tao Ying's treacherous plan!

"

Little Yuan Sangong was doubtful and hesitated. Yang Hong, who was despised by Zhou Yu and wanted to take revenge, took the opportunity to take advantage of his words and said: "General Gong Jin's words are wrong. Let the lord stick to the idea of ​​slowing down the war and waiting for Tao Ying's rear to change.

It was you who strongly advocated for it. Now that Tao Ying'er's rear has changed, General Gong Jin insists that Tao Ying'er is luring the enemy to prevent the lord from sending troops. If Tao Ying'er's rear really changes, who will be blamed for missing the opportunity?

bear?"

"I'll take the responsibility!" Zhou Yu had always looked down on Yang Hong, and now he had won the trust and favor of Little Yuan Sangong. Naturally, there was no need to be afraid of this flatterer, so Zhou Yu said without hesitation: "Suppose it was Lu Bu and Cao Cao who attacked Tao Ying's rear.

, then I believe it, even if it is said that Gongsun Zan and Tao Ying turned against each other and ordered Tian Kai to send troops to attack Langya, and Tao Ying's son was forced to return to the army for rescue, then I may also believe it! But if it is said that Tao Ying's son returned because Liu Bei attacked the East China Sea

Master. Then I am the first to not believe it. Liu Bei only has a few thousand troops, and he has always been treacherous. Before other princes take action, he does not have the guts or the strength to attack Tao Ying's Donghai County!"

"General Gongjin, do you dare to vouch for this?"

Master Yang Hong's smile was even more sinister. Mizhoulang's answer completely froze Master Yang Hong's smile - Mizhoulang replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Of course I dare. If Master Yang Hong continues to question, then I don't know if Yang Hong will continue to question."

Lord Hong, do you dare to issue a military order with Zhou Yu? If Liu Bei really attacks the East China Sea, please behead Yu. If Liu Bei does not attack the East China Sea, then please behead Master Yang!"

Master Yang Hong's face turned pale, and the civil and military officials of Yuan Shujun who had long disliked Yang Hong started making noises and encouraged Yang Hong and Zhou Yu to make this bet. Master Yang Hong cherished his life and did not dare to agree. In extreme embarrassment, he turned to Zhou Yu

The hatred was renewed, and finally Little Yuan Sangong also scolded Yang Hong: "Shut up, you don't understand strategy. You don't want to interfere in military matters! That's it. Let's wait and see for a few days. We will send people north to spy on the news.

Let’s wait until we confirm whether Tao Ying’s child has really changed.”

Yang Hongwei resigned, but Zhou Yu hated him for flattering him and nearly missing an important event, so he took the opportunity to add insult to injury and suggested to Yuan Shu: "Father-in-law, General Chen Ji has been unable to capture the small town of Xiangxian County for a long time. It's really a waste of time.

Mr. Yang Hong has always been strict in enforcing the law and is selfless and has won the trust of his father-in-law. In this case, why doesn't the lord send Mr. Yang as a supervisor to Xiang County to urge General Chen Ji to attack the city and severely punish those who are afraid of avoiding the war? If so, General Chen Ji will break through.

Xiangxian County is as easy as turning the palm of your hand."

"Little thief! You know that I am at odds with Chen Ji, and you want me to serve as a supervisor in Chen Ji's team. Do you want to use Chen Ji's hand to kill me?" Mr. Yang Hong's face turned pale again - before Yang Hong

In order to flatter Mr. Yuan Sangong, he often added insult to injury when Mr. Yuan Sangong was angry that Chen Jijiu was unable to attack Lujiang. He scolded Chen Ji to please Mr. Sangong Yuan, but he and Chen Ji forged a life-and-death feud.

"Very good, let's do it like this." Without waiting for Mr. Yang Hong to object, little Yuan Sangong agreed without hesitation. None of the civil and military officials of Yuan Shujun next to him didn't hate Mr. Yang Hong, Huainan's number one toady. Seeing that Yang Hong was pushed by Zhou Yu

When they got into the trap, they naturally hurried over to throw rocks together, and clapped their fists together and praised: "My lord is wise, with Yang Changshi supervising the battle, Xiangxian County can be defeated in a day!"

"Child Zhou Yu! You and I are incompatible with each other!" Mr. Yang Hong roared in his heart. But his thin arms could not twist his thigh. No matter how Yang Hong and Yang Changshi begged to shirk, little Yuan Sangong refused to take back his life. In the end, Yang Chang

Shi had no choice but to quietly scold Zhou Yu's eighteenth generation ancestors with tears in his eyes, and then led more than a dozen cavalry to the battlefield of Xiangxian County, more than a hundred miles away, to supervise the army.

……………………

Okay, now let's take a look at the battlefield situation of the two armies. Speaking of which, General Qin Yi, the Xuzhou general whose beautiful wife was fought over by Cao Boss and Guan Erye, did a pretty good job this time.

The advantageous location of the city and the natural dangers of Suishui prevented enemies several times their size. Chen Jikong, the general of Yuan Shu's army who was in charge of the partial division battlefield, had a superior force, but Qin Yi, who could not get out of the city, had no choice but to attack the city several times but was defeated by Qin Yi.

They fought back and suffered heavy casualties but still could not capture the county seat of Peiguo County. In the end, Chen Ji, who could not withstand Xiao Yuan Sangong's repeated urging, became anxious. In order to facilitate the attack, he simply moved his camp to the north bank of Suishui River, preparing to attack at the same time without the protection of Suishui River.

Xiangxian County has three gates: east, west, north and west.

Coincidentally, when Yang Hong and Yang Changshi arrived at the battlefield in Xiangxian County, they happened to catch up with Chen Ji's partial division and the whole army had moved to camp. He heard the guard's report that he had a deep hatred with Yang Changshi and was in the process of attacking Xiangxian County for a long time.

Chen Ji was immediately furious. He slapped the case and roared, "Why did the Lord send this shameless villain to supervise the army? This despicable villain is known to be greedy, lustful and incompetent. Let him assist me in taking charge of the army."

, do you want to kill all these 30,000 troops?"

"Brother, this is a god-given opportunity for revenge." Chen Ji's Chen Jin came out and said with a sly smile: "The general is outside, and you are not allowed to do anything. Yang Hong, a villain, went to my brother's tent to supervise the army. All I have to do is arrest him casually."

For one of his faults, you can kill him with one knife. Anyway, except for the lord, no one in our army likes this despicable villain. As long as the reason for killing him is sufficient, it will be easy for my brother to do it in front of the lord.

Explain."

Chen Ji thought about it carefully and immediately turned his anger into joy and ordered an interview. After a moment, poor Yang Changshi entered the Chinese army's tent and immediately used his flattery skills to flatter Chen Ji. He tried to make Chen Ji forget what he had done before.

Don't put hatred in your own little shoes, but it is a pity that General Chen Ji has long hated Yang Changshi to his bones. No matter how flattering Yang Changshi is, he just sneers in response. In the end, General Chen Ji really can't stand it.

, he simply sent Yang Changshi off to rest with a few words. Then he plunged into the work of building siege weapons. He also planned to discuss how to deal with his old enemy Yang Changshi later.

It got dark soon. After eating the rough food that he had never looked at before, our Yang Changshi returned to the simple tent with a sad face. He lay on the bed with his clothes on and started to think about it with his brain full of bad water. "

It's over. Judging from Chen Ji's expression, he must still be remembering those grudges from the past. Being his supervisor is another offending mission for me. I'm afraid it's going to be worse this time. What should I do? What should I do?"

After thinking about it, Yang Changshi even had the idea of ​​surrendering to the Xuzhou army. However, considering that his reputation was too bad and he was not acquainted with the civil and military officials in Xuzhou, he would not be sure of his life if he surrendered. He would certainly not be able to survive in the future.

The prosperity and wealth of Huainan and the high officials and salaries quickly gave up this idea - for Yang Changshi, the head can be cut off and the blood can be shed. The glory, wealth and honor are really indispensable. So Yang Changshi can only lie in bed.

On the bed, I was sighing and sullen, unable to fall asleep until midnight. I just secretly scolded Yuan Sangong for being overqualified and incompetent, Zhou Yu for being sinister and vicious, and Chen Ji for being a rat with a belly like a chicken.

"Kill————!"

When the clapper rang at the third watch, a loud shouting of killing suddenly came from outside the tent. At first Yang Changshi thought it was the Xuzhou Army from Xiangxian County leaving the city to rob the camp, but after listening carefully, he found that something was wrong - the shouting of killing

It turned out to be coming from the east opposite to Xiangxian City. In shock, Yang Changshi, who had not taken off his clothes and shoes at all, jumped out of bed and rushed outside the tent to take a look. He saw flames rising into the sky in the east.

An army marched into the camp with torches, killing everyone on sight and burning tents on sight. In the dark night, I didn’t know who or how many enemies were coming, and I didn’t expect that the enemies would come from the east. Yuan Shu’s army

There was chaos up and down, people were running around, trampling on each other, and the faint cry that Chen Ji was dead could be heard.

"The enemy's reinforcements rob the camp? I am too unlucky, right?"

As soon as he arrived at the Xiangxian battlefield, his camp was hijacked by the enemy. Unlucky Yang Changshi couldn't even cry. But luckily, because he hadn't slept, Yang Changshi reacted fastest and rushed ahead of others.

Go to the stable, grab a war horse and ride on it, then beat the horse and flee to the north - my friends are not wrong, Yang Changshi may be a bit of a bad character, but his mind is definitely not stupid, he knows that the enemy's reinforcements are coming from the east

, the defenders of Xiangxian County may leave the city to attack, and a large group of his own defeated troops will definitely flee to the south. Yang Changshi himself has no power to restrain the chicken. Going east to west is seeking death. Running south may be defeated by his own defeated troops alive.

If you are trampled to death, you are more likely to be killed by numerous enemies in your team, so the north is the safest!

In the chaos, Yang Changshi saw groups of Xuzhou troops running rampant in the camp, as if they were in a deserted land. He also saw brothers Chen Ji and Chen Jin leading the troops to meet the enemy in a panic, covering their faces with their sleeves.

After bypassing the team of Chen Ji brothers, Yang Changshi saw Chen Ji bump into a group of enemies again, and was hacked to death by the fat enemy general Xu Chu who led that group of enemies. Although Yang Changshi did not participate in Suishui

battle, but Xu Chu led his army to the gate of the Gaohuang Mountain camp that day, so Yang Changshi, who was hiding in the mountain and shivering, remembered Xu Chu's appearance.
