Zhang Guiba did not come out of the city, but he fell into Li Jing's arms.

On the same day, according to Liu Xun's plan, he ordered the whole army to dig soil and bag it, and at the same time put it into the Bianshui Canal, and Jingxiang and Gaiyu were responsible for building the cofferdam embankment, and Zeng Yuanyu, Liu Shouqian, and Zhang Chengzong led the troops to block the four gates of the city of Suzhou to prevent Zhang Guiba from going out of the city and destroying the embankment. He also sent Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, and Li Cunxiao to inspect the suburbs and intercept the Qi army soldiers and horses who might come to help at any time.

Because Zhang Guiba had been retreating into the city and the morale of the Qin army was high, the efficiency of intercepting and building the embankment was extremely high, and it took only four days to complete the project of filling the river and building the cofferdam. Just two days later, the city of Suzhou became an artificial lake, and the water in the city was knee-deep.

For a time, the houses in Suzhou were flooded, and the people in the city had to flee to the top of the tail.

In the city of Suzhou, Zhang Yun, the former probationary army Suzhou Assassin Shi, is now just an idler, deprived of military power, and only holds the post of Suzhou Governor Shi. The city was flooded, Zhang's house was also flooded, the water was knee-deep, fortunately, the Zhang family was very rich, although the family was flooded, but he still had a few painting boats, and the whole family moved into the boat to live at this time.

The sky is shining, but the home is full of sparkling, Zhang Yun touched the railing of the ship's side, and he couldn't tell the feeling in his heart.

"Da Lang, what are you thinking?" A calm voice sounded behind him, and Zhang Yun's father, Zhang Chuangu, moved over.

Zhang Yun hurriedly saluted: "Father! ”

Zhang Chuangu is the patriarch of the Zhang clan in Haizhou, although he has not become an official, but he runs the business of the Zhang family, and is very business-minded. Therefore. Although Zhang Yun was young, he had already achieved the position of Suzhou Assassin. Of course, there is a reason for his courage and talent. But more often than not, Zhang's prestige, status and wealth in the reform town, coupled with the successive turmoil in the reform army in recent years, he was originally a henchman of Shi Pu's subordinates, and he was able to ascend to the history of Suzhou Assassination.

Zhang Chuangu was dressed in silk, with a long-sleeved robe, a jade belt, and five long beards, which was very Confucian and businessmanlike. Although he is over fifty years old. But the whole person was full of red face, and he looked like he was only about forty.

Looking at his son's frowns, Zhang Chuangu said, "Are you thinking about the current situation?" ”

Zhang Yun nodded.

Zhang Chuangu said again: "It's really time to think about it, when Pu descended to Qi, we didn't have a second way to choose." But now it's different, we don't know when the ship of Huangchao will sink, but the ship of Zhang Guiba is about to sink. Before we sink, we need to change ships as soon as possible. Now there's a big ship right next to us, and we can't afford to miss the chance to board it. ”

Zhang Yun's expression moved, and he looked at his father with some surprise.

"You come with me. Introduce your father to a friend. After Zhang Chuangu finished speaking, he walked directly forward. Zhang Yun followed. Soon Zhang's father took him to his father's ship, and when he arrived in the cabin, he saw that there was already a person sitting there.

"In the fifth place, for the time being, Lang Zhong of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Daxingtai Supervision Department of the Datang Northeast Road, I took the liberty to come to disturb this time, and I hope you will forgive me. Here is a letter, which is written by His Royal Highness of my family, and I am specially asked to pass it on to General Zhang. The man stood up and saluted, then took out a letter and handed it to him.

Zhang Yun was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this person was actually Li Jing's intelligence leader, and he dared to take the risk and go deep into Suzhou City to meet him. And looking at the meaning of the other party, it seems that he has decided that he will belong to Li Jing. Seeing his father's expression as usual on the side, Zhang Yun suddenly understood, it seems that Li Jing's people first contacted his father, and they talked about it almost before they saw him later.

He suddenly remembered that his father had been doing business with Dengzhou in the past few years. Thinking of my father's words again, I am afraid that my father has been in contact with them for a long time.

For a while, Zhang Yun completely understood. Either way, there was nothing wrong with my father's approach.

I think he desperately saved Zhang Guiba last time, but what did he get in exchange? In exchange, the military power was seized and demoted to an idle position such as Changshi. Now the situation, the reinforcements have not arrived, but Suzhou is unable to hold on, looking at all the heroes, Li Jing is the marshal of the soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty, in the case that the emperor of Chang'an has been lucky, Li Jing is stronger than the emperor's Huangchao.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yun smiled at the fifth concubine, opened the letter and read it. The letter was written by Li Jing himself, and the content was nothing more than Li Jing's solicitation words, so he asked him to wait anyway. The letter was accompanied by Li Jing's reward appointment, conferring the title of General Zuo Xiaowei, the general of the Zhenjun, the defense envoy of Mizhou, and the new first army of the Harajuku Prefecture Reform Army, and conferring Zhang Yun as the commander of the Shenwu Army. ”

Zhang Yun also has some understanding of the military system of the Qin army, which is roughly equivalent to that of the imperial court. The first two generals are one with a false rank and the other with a loose rank, indicating that his rank is a third-rank position. The real real position is still the defense envoy of Mizhou, the Qin army is in charge of the military and the people, and the defense envoy is the commander of the military of a state, but the authority is much lower than that of the defense envoy of the imperial court. But the commander of the Shenwu Army, this is a real and important position in the Qin Army, the Shenwu Army has a military number, not a regiment and a township soldier without a military number, this is a combat establishment. In charge of an army of 5,000 people, he can be regarded as a general of the Qin army.

This reward surprised Zhang Yun very much.

The fifth Shu has been observing Zhang Yun's reaction, looking at his face, and has already seen that Zhang Yun's mind has moved. He smiled at the moment and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin admires General Zhang very much, and has publicly praised the general several times for being young but brave and resourceful, with extraordinary bearing and the style of a general. ”

Zhang Yun's age is a few years younger than Li Jing, and he is indeed younger. And when he fought day and night, Zhang Yun was brave and unparalleled, and his performance in breaking out of the encirclement also made the generals of the Qin army very admired.

Things have come to this point, there is no need to lie anymore, Zhang Yun happily agreed to return to the team.

"Please also ask the fifth general to tell His Royal Highness the King of Qin, give the last general another three days, and then he will definitely dedicate Suzhou to the King of Qin."

The fifth concubine took Zhang Yun's letter to Li Jing and left satisfied. The successful plot against Zhang Yun can be described as a great achievement of their military intelligence bureau.

After the others left, Zhang Yun thought for a long time and said to his father: "I also ask my father to secretly contact the big families and wealthy merchants in the city for me." ”

Zhang Chuangu knew the meaning of his son, and now that all the generals of the original probation had been deprived of their military power, if they wanted to seize the city, they could only find another way. In fact, the big merchants in the city have long been very worried about the current situation. I hope for an early end to the fighting. Contact them. Naturally, it is necessary to borrow the family in the hands of these big families to do things.

Next. Zhang Chuangu began to secretly contact major merchants, and Zhang Yun was also very cautious and secretly contacted the officers of the old department. Due to the flooding of the city, Zhang Guiba had already deprived the probationary generals of their military powers, and he was so busy for a while that he ignored these people.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the water in Suzhou City has reached the waist and abdomen, and it will not take two months if it continues like this. Suzhou City will be finished.

That night, Zhang Yun secretly contacted his former officers, and Zhang Chuangu contacted the wealthy businessmen in the city. Zhang Chuangu led the families to open the city gate and lead the Qin army into the city. Zhang Yun and others infiltrated the original probation barracks, launched a mutiny, killed the officers sent by Zhang Guiba, and regained control of the probation army. Then he led his troops to the Xicheng Highland camp where Zhang Guiba's soldiers and horses were located.

When Zhang Guiba was woken up by his subordinates, he was still a little drowsy. Hearing the shouts of killing everywhere, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

"Zhang Jun. The big thing is not good, Zhang Yun's father and son turned against the pair of dog thieves, they opened the city gate with the families of various big families, and entered the probation army camp to instigate the soldiers to mutiny, and now the whole city is in chaos. The Qin army has already entered the city! ”

Hearing that the Qin army had entered the city, Zhang Guiba's heart immediately cooled in half.

Zhang Guimu broke in in armor, "Big brother, Suzhou can't hold it, hurry up and get out of here, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to leave." ”

Zhang Guiba came back to his senses, and he no longer had the luxury of retaking the city. The grass army has been fighting all over the world, and it is not the strongest in war, and it is not the most powerful in defending the city, but no one can compare with it in terms of running. The brothers gathered their own soldiers around them, and rode the darkness and chaos all the way to the west to kill the generals.

By dawn, the chaos in Suzhou City finally ended.

Li Jing's soldiers and horses had successfully taken control of Suzhou City, and Zhang Yun and his son led the reformed officers and soldiers in the city and the wealthy merchants in the city to greet them, and Li Jing met them one by one. and ordered in public to award rewards to Zhang Yun and other generals, and commended Zhang Chuangu and other wealthy businessmen in the original city one by one, and gave knighthoods such as knights and lords respectively.

For the 3,000 or so probationary troops in the city, Li Jing incorporated them all into the newly organized Shenwu Army, and transferred 2,000 veterans from various armies to supplement them, filling the establishment of 5,000, with Zhang Yun as the commander.

In addition, Li Jing also gave 5,000 yuan to each of the soldiers in the whole army, and an additional 5,000 yuan to the Shenwu army.

For a time, the city of Suzhou was cheering.

The Qin army dug up the embankment that day, and the city of Suzhou, which had been soaked in water for several days, was restored to its old appearance. The soldiers were checked, the Suzhou probation army was surrendered, and Zhang Guiba's headquarters was basically wiped out, and about 3,000 escaped. Li Jing didn't care, Li Jing didn't order to be surrounded on all sides that day, and he didn't want Zhang Guiba to fight the trapped beasts and give the Qin army too many casualties. Li Jing's goal was to capture Suzhou, not to eliminate Zhang Guiba.

Although Suzhou is small, its location is very important, and there are four important waterways that run through the north and south of central Henan, connecting the Huanghuai and Huai rivers. Especially the Bianshui Canal, which is the most important canal, occupies Suzhou, plus Chuzhou, as long as Li Jing takes Xuzhou again, then he will completely control the Huanghuai Plain.

Li Jing also admires Zhang Yun, who is only 25 years old, and talks with him a few times, this person is indeed worthy of the title of the original probation duo, although he is young, but he is really brave and strategic. Overjoyed, Li Jing specially asked the court to ask Zhang Yun to be named the Marquis of Changsha.

At this time, Li Jing Fulu was shuangzhi, and Chen Qi, the general of Huainan who had just replaced Gao Jie in Shouzhou, was even more dissatisfied because he was dissatisfied with Gao Yu's use of warlocks such as Lu Yongzhi and Zhang Shouyi, and killed Feng Shou, the general of the Huai Army, at will. As soon as Chen Qi took over Shouzhou, Zhang Shouyi asked him for a bribe, but Chen Qi refused, so Zhang Shouyi fabricated charges, arrested Chen Qi's son, and killed him in prison. When Chen Qi heard the news, he was very angry in his heart, and when he heard that Gao Biao had been attacking Chuzhou for a long time, Li Jing had broken through Suzhou in the north, so he simply gritted his teeth and sent his henchmen to ask Li Jing to surrender.

Shouzhou and Suzhou are connected to the north and south, only separated by a Huai River. Shouzhou and Haozhou are connected to the east and west. Now that Suzhou and Haozhou are in Li Jing's hands, Chen Qi simply demoted Li Jing. Li Jing was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent Lin Wei to personally go south to receive Shouzhou, occupying Shouchun, an important town in Huaixi.

Li Jing reorganized Chen Qi's department into the Xiongwu Army, with Chen Qi as the commander of the Xiongwu Army, and invited Chen Qi to Fengzhen Army General, Zuo Weiwei General, Haizhou Defense Envoy, Xiongwu Army Commander, Shou Chunhou, and transfer him and his department to Haizhou for reorganization and training. Shouzhou, garrisoned by Lin Wei.

Gao Biao was under the city of Chuzhou, heard the news, jumped to his feet and scolded, and ordered to send someone to Yangzhou to kill Chen Qi's family. But Chen Qi had already made arrangements, and his family had long been missing. Gao Biao was even more angry, and in a fit of rage, he ordered a large-scale attack on Chuzhou, and as a result, he attacked twelve times in a day, leaving thousands of corpses under the city of Chuzhou in vain. At this time, he couldn't attack for a long time, but lost his longevity again. A few days later, there was an urgent report that Yang Xingmi, a native of Luzhou, had killed and assassinated him, and appointed himself as the envoy of the eight capitals, with thousands of people in each of the eight capitals, and the momentum was very great, and he had occupied Luzhou.

Gao Biao was embattled for a while, and the generals persuaded him to retreat. Gao Yu had to hate the army, just returned to Yangzhou, Yang Xingmi sent people to send a lot of money and food, saying that Luzhou assassinated the history of many crimes, killing him was just to ask for the people's life, but also said that he was willing to serve the county king. Gao Biao was busy trying to find a way to deal with the aggressive Li Jing at this time, and he couldn't take care of Yang Xingmi's miscellaneous fish, seeing his attitude, he simply ordered Yang Xingmi to be the assassin of Huainan Luzhou, which could be regarded as recruiting his subordinates.
