"My lord, Cao Jun's forward is still twenty miles away from the city."

"Twenty miles, it came so fast." Guan Yu couldn't help but sighed secretly.

"My lord, you should stop and suffer from the chaos. If you want to achieve a great cause, you must first protect your own foundation, otherwise the great cause will be impossible!"

Liu Bei sighed and could only choose to go to Xuchang.

The two roads have retreated, and in the battle of Xuzhou, only Yuan Tan road is still harassing from time to time.After several days of autumn rain in a row, the two opposing armies in the Dongguan area could only calm down and take a short rest.

On this day, the sky was gloomy, and fine raindrops fell one after another. In this rainy night, four horse-drawn carriages approached the river bank along the military-civilian road, and a dozen black shadows jumped from the carriage. They observed carefully and confirmed that After there was no one around, a black figure at the head waved their hands, and they quickly drove the carriage to the roadside woods to hide, and then unloaded two huge wooden boxes, several bundles of bamboo poles, and iron manuscripts from the carriage. , carrying these things to the river bank in a hurry.

Arriving at the edge of Yishui, the person in charge seemed to be very familiar with this area, surveyed the terrain, and finally chose a somewhat damaged embankment to the east.

It may be God's blessing, the continuous rainfall has caused the water level of Yishui to rise a lot.

Since Dongguan is going to be flooded, the more natural water the better.

A few people waved their hoes and dug along the river bank. The water in the river channel had already reached the edge of the embankment, and they dug a gap. Immediately, the water rushed over quickly, and suddenly washed away the damaged river channel. .

"Boom!" With the rumbling sound of the sky falling apart, the whole ground could not help but tremble, the river continued to expand, and the rushing river was first shaken by a huge wave nearly ten feet high, and then poured down, the muddy river was turbulent The impact uprooted the big tree in the sky.

The flood flowed down, directly turning all the fertile fields on the bank of Yishui into a vast ocean, and the water depth on the flat land was more than ten feet deep.Fortunately, the fields have already been harvested. Not only did the years of painstaking efforts to cultivate the fields that were expected to yield a bumper harvest turn into nothingness in the blink of an eye.

In the dark night, the people had no way to figure out what was going on, and they were immediately swept away by the flood.Countless houses in the villages along the way were destroyed by the flood, and thousands of people were struggling in the turbid waves.In less than a quarter of an hour, the flood reached the city of Dongguan directly.

In an instant, the city of Dongguan was surrounded by floods from all directions.

Long before the galloping horses came, Yang Yanzhao and Gao had already noticed by the way that they didn't care too much, and ran directly to the high place. Fortunately, their reaction was very fast, and they had already moved to the high place before the flood came. .

Although Yuan Jun used the strategy of flooding, the amount of water in Yishui was not enough to completely submerge the city after all.

After the water speed slowly slowed down, Yang Yanzhao and Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief and started to rescue the victims by themselves.

Outside the city, Yuan Tan looked at the vast expanse of ocean in front of him, instead of showing the slightest bit of compassion, he even laughed out loud.

"Young Master, General Cen wants me to come and ask if he will launch an attack?" The messenger did not expect Cao Jun to be so unbearable, and there was a sense of ecstasy in his words in his desperation.

"Command all the ministries to launch an attack immediately." Yuan Tan did not expect that Cao Jun would be completely defeated, so he quickly ordered all the ministries to charge and kill.

Yuan Tan gave an order, and the left and right soldiers and horses drove the small boats to quickly launch a general attack towards Dongguan City.

Under the dark night, Cao Jun inside the city gate was already beaten up by the army, and he was really at a loss for a while.

In addition, part of the city wall was destroyed by floods. Even if Yang Yanzhao and Gao Shun resisted desperately, they could not stop Yuan Jun's sharp attack in the end, so they could only fill the city and flee south.

Dongguan was breached, and Yuan Tan was naturally ecstatic.Point Qi soldiers and horses went south quickly, even breaking through Dong'an and Yangdu, and the army fought all the way to Linyi, only to be stopped temporarily by Cao Jun's blocking.

So far in the first battle, Dongguan County has basically fallen into the hands of Yuan Tan.

Chapter 189 The idea of ​​suppressing the land

Dongguan's miss was indeed something that Cao Anmin did not expect.

Fortunately, Liu Bei had already fled, Xiao Pei fell into his hands, and the allied forces of the aristocratic family disappeared in smoke, and a single little Yuan Tan could not cause any trouble.

Liu Yuwen guarded Xiaopei in Chengdu to shake Yanzhou.He led the army towards the East China Sea.

In Tan County, Bao Zheng Zhang said that Huang Zhong led a large number of civil servants and military generals to wait outside the city mightily. The gongs and drums sounded again, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and the people along the road lined the road to greet them. It was a spectacular scene to welcome the triumphant return of the army.

When Cao Anmin led his army into the city, the people on both sides cheered even more.

"Long live Cao Huwei, long live Cao Huwei."

Cao Anmin liked the feeling of being admired by thousands of people, and waved his hands from time to time.

Yao Guangxiao next to him slapped his head violently.So busy, I actually forgot an important thing.

Although Cao Anmin has already occupied Xuzhou, his official position is still the Marquis of Xinting, General Huwei, who was granted the title when he was under Cao Cao's command.

General Huwei was originally a miscellaneous general. Except for his good name, he actually didn't have any right to open a government, let alone the function of ruling Xuzhou.

The heroes of the Han Dynasty separated one side, and although they governed independently, except for Yuan Gonglu, who had usurped and established himself at the beginning, the other princes still respected the Son of Heaven.Because of this, the rule of Xuzhou must be justified.

Right now, their names are not right and their words are not right, and as time goes by, they will inevitably fall into the ground.

Just as he was thinking, he arrived at the door. Bao Zheng, Zhang Shuo, Huang Zhong and the others quickly stepped forward and replied in unison: "My lord."

Cao Anmin quickly dismounted and helped the three of them up.

"Thanks to your concerted efforts in this battle, we were able to defeat those rebellious bandits."

There was really no change in Bao Zheng's face like the bottom of a pot, and Huang Zhong and Zhang Shuo beside him were all smiling.

"My lord, I haven't recommended you yet." Bao Zheng pushed Zhang Shuo out.

Zhang Shuoben was the prime minister of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's dynasty, and his appearance just confirmed that sentence.

It's gold, it will shine wherever you go.

"Zhang, a native of Donghai, said to see the lord."

Cao Anmin had been waiting for Zhang Shuo for a long time, but it was a pity that he had been in power in Xuzhou for so long, and Zhang Shuo disappeared like a sea of ​​sand.

Unexpectedly, this battle against the aristocratic family could bring this person to the surface, which is also a matter of joy and congratulations.

"Hurry up, please!" Cao Anmin helped Zhang Shuo up, and Bao Zheng beside him showed his snow-white teeth and said, "Without Zhang Shuo's help, this retreat against the enemy would never have been so smooth. In terms of military exploits, he should be with him." Hansheng is neck and neck."

Zhang said that he shook his head again and again, showing a little humility.

Cao Anmin doesn't care about that many, although he has many talents under his command, there are also many places to manage.

Take the current Xiaopei as an example. After Liu Bei left, there was another piece of land that needed more management.Zhang said that the prime minister's ability to govern a small county is not easy to grasp.

"Okay, from now on, appoint Zhang Shuo as the prefect of Pei County, and set off immediately, and cooperate with Yuwen Chengdu to guard Xiaopei to prevent Cao Cao from attacking."

Zhang said that although he had heard about it a long time ago, Cao Huwei had always used talents only.When I saw it today, it was really unusual.

I am a white body, and I directly became the sheriff guarding one side. The speed of such promotion is as fierce as a rocket ascending to the sky.

"Zhang said to thank the lord, even if his body is smashed to pieces, he will definitely do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Ding! The host was appreciated by Zhang Shuo and rewarded with a purple gift bag."

"System, is it difficult for other talents under my command not to appreciate my master?" After hearing the system prompt, Cao Anmin remembered that it seemed that the appreciation system hadn't shown a prompt for a long time.

This suddenly appeared, so I asked specifically.

"The host didn't ask before, and the appreciation system has been turned on. So far, a total of [-] gift bags have been accumulated."
