Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 156

With the help of the army, the grain in Jiujiang County was harvested in less than 20 days. Zhang Yi looked at the military report sent back from Guangling County, sneered, and called Wei Wentong over, "Let Zhu Zhi and Lu Meng bring ten thousand Soldiers go to the monks and apprentices to meet. Then the masters and apprentices will attack Tangyi County, Yuguo, Jiangdu County, Guangling County and other places. Let Zhongli Weitang and attack Dongyang County, and Xu Shengshun Huai River to attack Xuyi County."

Zhang Yi has been paying attention to the land of Guangling for a long time. As long as Guangling is captured, the south of the Huai River will be under his control, especially the generation of Hongze Lake, which is a grain-producing area in Xuzhou. The farmland is fertile. Getting here is equivalent to winning half of Xuzhou.As long as Hongze Lake is captured, cavalry can be dispatched to invade Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou. It can be said that one lake disturbs the four states.

In fact, Zhang Yi has always occupied the territory of Xuzhou. Dongcheng County, which he classified as Jiujiang County, is the territory of Xiapi Kingdom in Xuzhou. However, Zhang Yi forcibly occupied it when he was pacifying the counties in Jiujiang.Xuzhou actually asked Zhang Yi several times for help, but unfortunately Zhang Yi never agreed.

Dongcheng County is like a dagger inserted in the abdomen of Jiujiang County. From Dongcheng County, you can go east to Jianyang County, go south to attack Hefei, Junqiu, Liyang, and Juchao, and go north to attack Yinling, Quyang, and Zhongli. , Dangtu, Chengde, Xiquyang, and Shouchun can be attacked westward, which almost threatens the entire Jiujiang County.How could Zhang Yi return such an important first place?
Not only that, he also sent heavy troops to guard Dongcheng County. Before Lu Su was promoted to the county governor, he supervised the defense of Dongcheng County.

Master Shang got 5000 soldiers, plus his original soldiers, a total of [-].He ordered: "Zhu Junli, Lu Ziming, you two set out from Jianyang with [-] soldiers and go straight to Gaoyou."

Zhu Zhi and Lu Meng immediately took orders and set off immediately with five thousand soldiers.Zhu Zhi was the main general, Lu Meng was the vanguard, and led 1000 men in the forerunner.

Master Shang and his disciples took Meng Liang and Jiao Zan as the vanguard and led 3000 people to attack Tangyi County.Last time they took away a large number of people from Tangyi, Yuguo, Guangling, Jiangdu and other places, which also resulted in a shortage of people in these four counties who could be used to harvest food.When they came here again, most of the grain in these four counties was still unharvested!
Master Shang and his disciples directly sent people to surround the towns in the four counties, and then robbed them of food for the army.It is the best supplementary method to support war by fighting. Taking one stone from the enemy is equivalent to transporting ten stone less from the rear.

Lu Meng arrived in Gaoyou County also to rob food.The strategy this time is like this, first grab the food from the counties they attacked, and then attack.After Zhu Zhi's rear army arrived, they also rushed to collect food.

Tang He attacked Dongyang County with 3000 people and wanted to do the same.But his luck was better. He felt that in Dongyang County, the people were transporting grain to the city.Seeing such an opportunity, Tang He immediately marched into the city.

Tang He is very honest and responsible. He works hard in Zhongli and has no complaints at all.Xue Li, who was summoned later than him, has already been promoted, but Tang He is still Zhong Liwei.So Zhang Yi wanted to give Tang He this chance, but he didn't expect Tang He to seize this opportunity and make contributions first.

Tang He asked people to guard the city, and then organized people to collect grain.He didn't know if he would occupy this place for a long time this time, so he sent a battle report to Zhang Yi. He formed an army alone, so he needed to send a military report to Zhang Yi, and he was not under the jurisdiction of his master and apprentice.

Xu Sheng led two thousand sailors to attack Xuyi, which was south of Hongze Lake and belonged to Xiapi State.

A few months ago, Zhang Zhao served as Prime Minister of Xiapi.Ever since Zhang Zhao became Prime Minister of Xiapi, he has been very vigilant towards Zhang Yi, and sent most of his soldiers to the south for defense, except Xiaqiu and Huai Ling.The three counties of Xuyi actually hoarded more than 6000 soldiers. When Xu Sheng was going to Xuyi along the Huai River, he was attacked by the Xiapi army along the way.

These three counties are all along the Huai River, Zhang Zhao directly ordered people to set up defenses on the north bank of the Huai River to prevent Zhang Yi from attacking.Unexpectedly, this arrangement became an obstacle for Xu Sheng to attack Xuyi County. He quickly asked Shouchun whether to attack Xuyi according to the original plan.

After Zhang Yi received Xu Sheng's military report, he immediately gave up the order to let Xu Sheng act accordingly.Before he asked Xu Sheng to attack Xuyi, he just wanted to let the navy enter Hongze Lake.If the road is smooth, Xu Sheng's two thousand navy can contain a lot of Xuzhou's troops.However, Xiaqiu, Huailing, and Xuyi were all fortified by Zhang Zhao, and it would be a little difficult to enter Hongze Lake.

Zhang Yi looked at the map. He wanted to cause trouble for Cao Cao and increase strategic space for himself. These two things could be done at the same time.It’s just that Xu Sheng cannot enter Hongze Lake. How can he implement his strategy of disrupting Xuzhou?
Just when Zhang Yi was worried, Tang He's military report came over, and Zhang Yi was overjoyed after reading it.Staring at the map again, Dongyang County is not far from Xuyi County, but it is a pity that Xuyi County is on the north bank of Huai River at this time. If it is on the south bank of Huai River, he can let Tang He directly attack Xuyi County.

But in this case, he still has a way.Zhang Yi called Wei Wentong, asked Tang He to add 2000 people, and brought him a new army to attack Ping'an County first, blocking Chen Dengnan's road to rescue.Once again, he asked Xu Sheng's navy to hold back the defenders in Xiaqiu and Huai Ling, and let the troops guarding Dongyang prevent the Xuyi defenders from crossing the Huai River, buying time for Master Shang and his disciples.

After Master Shang left with the army, the county magistrates of Quanjiao and Jianyang organized a lot of people to help them collect food.With the help of tens of thousands of people, the grain harvest in Tangyi County was quickly finished.

Master Shang led the army and said loudly in front of Tangyi City: "Now I have taken away all the food outside the city. If you open the city and surrender, I will return the food to you; if you do not open the city and surrender If not, I will take all the food with me."

The people in the city screamed, they had no food left, if Master Shang and his disciples really took the food, they would have to wait to die.

When the county magistrate saw the riots of the people, he felt helpless, but the aristocratic families in the city immediately dispatched private soldiers to help suppress it.It can be said that they are used to dominating one side, Chen Deng ensured that they maintain their current status, and they supported Chen Deng against outsiders.Now is the time for them to support Chen Deng and ensure their status.

However, what they did also aroused the anger of the people, so the city began to attack each other.

Seeing this, Master Shang and his disciples immediately waved their troops to attack.In less than half an hour, Tangyi County was captured.
