Xiao County fell, and the Xuzhou army thundered from top to bottom. Except, of course, for clerical employment.

With the full efforts of the Han army, the fire was finally extinguished. Many houses and yards were burned down. But important places have also been preserved. For example, government offices, warehouses and other important places. Gan Ning and Wen Ping are not stupid, this Xiao County will be owned by them sooner or later, if a fire burns the treasury, how much is it worthwhile?

Because Xiao County has heavy troops stationed and is still tasked with transporting grain to Xiaopei, when Gan Ning and Wen Ping opened the Xiao County Treasury, they were almost blinded by the money and grain inside.

So, after dawn, when Gan Ning summoned the gentry and elders in the city to announce that the people who had suffered losses in the fire last night would be fully compensated, the city was also full of jubilation.

The people's hearts were immediately appeased. The complaints in his mouth also disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by gratitude to the Han army. The common people at this time are like this, as long as you are a little kind to him, he will be grateful and remember your kindness.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and no matter how Gan Ning and Wenpin control it, they can only delay the transmission of news rather than eliminate it. When Gan Ning and Wen Ping handled the matter at hand in Xiao County, the news finally spread. It even reached the ears of Xiao Pei Xiahou Yuan, who was surrounded by a heavy circle.

Although Zhang Fei led his troops to surround Xiaopei, Xiaopei was surrounded by two rivers, Surabaya and Paoshui, how could he surround him to death? When Xiahou Yuan learned that Xiao County had fallen, he took off and stood up.

It's not that I didn't think that Guan Yu was going to make a move, after all, during the Battle of Yanzhou, Guan Yu stabbed a knife in the back. That feeling, Xiahou Yuan still remembers.

It's just that he's obviously prepared in Xiao County. With Xiao County's city defense, if you keep it behind closed doors, it will be completely easy to defend it for a year and a half, how can it fall so quickly?

Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to sigh: "The mediocre misunderstands me, the mediocre misunderstands me!" "I can only blame the defenders for not being able to do anything. What else could you do?

After taking a few turns in the room, Xiahou Yuan had a feeling in his heart. Now war broke out in Yuzhou from west to east. Each general is too busy to take care of himself, and it is estimated that he will not be able to support him. Now Guan Yu has intervened again, judging from the current situation, counting and counting, he is the most dangerous here.

After all, Xiao Peiding is at the forefront of the battle line, with Zhang Fei in front and Guan Yu in the back. No matter how conceited Xiahou Yuan was, he didn't dare to say that he was the opponent of these two fierce men.

It just so happened that Meng De had a new instruction, ordering Yuzhou to defend in an all-round way, and mobilize superior forces to fight for Yuzhou with all his might. In that case, let's take the opportunity to go.

Don't stay here before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei join forces. As soon as Guan Yu's soldiers arrived, blocking the back road, it would be really difficult to fly.

Zhang Fei's generals surrounded Xiaopei, but Xiahou Yuan couldn't defend it. Zhang Fei used all kinds of means to lure him out of the city, but Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei have known each other for many years, and they know Zhang Fei's methods, no matter how Zhang Fei provokes outside, he just can't die.

There was no way, Zhang Fei was idle outside the city, and began to farm with the army. Well, it's already October, and if you have time, you can plant a wave of winter wheat. When Xiahou Yuan is defeated, the wheat here will grow next year, and it will all be his own.

Xiahou Yuan was at the head of the city, and after learning the news, he was angry and funny. This Zhang Fei really regarded this Xiaopei as his bag. Xiahou Yuan slapped the battlements with both hands, bastard! If I can't beat you, I will go out of the city in minutes and destroy you, believe it or not?

It's really infuriating!

The days came to a standstill. Zhang Fei cultivated land outside the city, and Xiahou Yuan was not idle, slowly, through the waterway, all the soldiers and books were transported to the Xiayi of Liang State. He'd have to find a way to evacuate. took advantage of the fact that Zhang Fei's attention was not all on Xiao Pei.

It's a pity that luck blinded Xiahou Yuan's head. Tigers snooze sometimes, but have you ever seen a tiger napping all the time? Zhang Fei is indeed farming, and he will still be holding his trouser legs, full of mud stars. However, he didn't make such a big move, and he didn't know. Otherwise, Guan Hai's intelligence work for so long would not have been in vain.

When the news reached Zhang Fei's ears, Zhang Fei smiled slyly and said, "Let's leave him alone." Pretend not to know, let him go. ”

The captains were puzzled, such a good opportunity, if you start a surprise attack, you will win all battles. How can you leave it alone?

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Let me ask you, is it better to arrest those hundreds or thousands of people now, or to wait for the future to break Xiayi to arrest tens of millions of people or break Xiaopei to capture Xiahou Yuan?" ”

Zhang Fei dialed this point, and the lieutenants immediately understood. This is to fatten up the prey. Wait for Xiahou Yuan to evacuate and retreat, and then whether it is to capture Yi or Xiaopei. At that time, Xiahou Yuan will be in a dilemma. Half of the men and horses have been evacuated, what can we do now?

On Gan Ning's side, he also received a letter from Zhang Fei, asking them to postpone their northward journey first, and not to attack Zhuqiu County in the northwest of Xiao County. so as not to alarm Xiahou Yuan. Instead, let them turn around and go south, pretending to sweep Dangxian and Xiangxian. Then the main force lurked in Xiao County, ready to be dispatched at any time.

In the Liang Kingdom, it was Li Dian and Zang Ba. They also received instructions from Cao Ren to convey Cao Cao. When he was about to evacuate slowly, he happened to receive a letter from Xiahou Yuan, wanting to move the soldiers of Pei County to Tunxiayi. As soon as Li Dian and Zang Ba heard this, they discussed: "The soldiers of Pei County are coming, and Liang Guo should have no worries." Zixiao's side was in a hurry, so it was better to send a soldier to Jingzhou. to help the filial piety of the son. ”

So it was decided immediately that Li Dian would stay behind, and Zang Ba would lead 5,000 elites south to Jingzhou to reinforce Cao Ren.

This thing is done very secretly. On the battlefield, it is relatively normal for soldiers and horses to be transferred frequently. After a series of dazzling actions, Zang Ba led 5,000 soldiers and horses, and had quietly left the Liang State and arrived in Qian County. In addition to leading his troops south, he also had to take away some important clansmen of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan in Qian County. Since Yuzhou can't be saved, it is necessary to make plans in advance. Although Liu Bei is not the kind of person who implicates the clansmen, anything can happen when the war is in trouble.

Li Dian continued to stay in the Liang State and confronted Tai Shici. Suiyang City, since the meeting of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, has been a prestigious city. In the Han Dynasty, it was the capital of the Liang kings of the past dynasties. There are few Liang kings in history to mess with. Not to mention the king with a different surname, the younger brother of Emperor Xiaojing, Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, wanted to compete for the position of crown prince and make Liang Guona prosperous. Suiyang City is his legacy to future generations.

Because of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms during the reign of Emperor Xiaojing, and because of the careful thinking of King Liang Xiao's later, Suiyang is not only big, but also very strong. Now Li Dian has gathered heavy troops and stationed them in Suiyang City. He thinks so, let you Tai Shi Ci attack the city. If I can't go down in Suiyang for a day, you won't be able to occupy the beam for a day.
