Overlord!

Shi Yiguan was just a drunken fanatic who was good at calligraphy and had no military knowledge at all.Yuan Shu and Huang Yi used this kind of people as generals, which is not as good as Yuan Shao using Chunyu Qiong to guard Wuchao.

Now that the Jiangdong iron cavalry is besieging the city, how could he have the guts? After Huang Yi panicked, he was even more panicked and afraid of death, so he said: "I heard that there are five general principles of military affairs: fight when you can fight, defend when you can't fight, and defend when you can't fight." Go, the other two things are surrender and death."

"Is the captain himself able to fight?"

Huang Yi shook his head resolutely. If someone in Huainan could defeat Sun Ce in a field battle, the overall strategic layout would not allow the army to defend the city to death.

Shi Yiguan asked again: "Can the captain defend himself?"

Huang Yi glanced with horror on his face, and shook his head decisively at the mighty Zhuqi and Rongpao that stretched for hundreds of miles in the distance.

How do you feel that the mighty front of the Zhu Banner is getting closer to the city!
Huang Yi said in horror: "Sun Ce's 20 troops besieged the city. I waited for thousands of people to welcome him. Wouldn't it be like hitting a rock with an egg? There is no one who can't be rescued. It's only a matter of time before the city falls. Even if we can hold it for ten days , guarding for two days, but in the end it is inevitable that the city will be destroyed and all will be slaughtered by Sun Ce."

This is what he fears the most!

Zhong had just been defeated by Cao Cao on the front line in Yuzhou. Tens of thousands of people were beheaded, four of his generals were killed, and his soldiers were defeated.

Moreover, tens of thousands of troops defended the city, but Cao Cao captured the generals and beheaded them all.

Sun Ce and Cao Cao, the two princes, have powerful armies. Huang Yi can't say who is stronger and who is weaker. When they compete on the battlefield in the future, he can decide the outcome by himself.The only thing Huang Yi can be sure of is that his troops here in Lu'an are definitely not as good as the more than [-] defenders of the Zhong family in Chen and Pei counties!

That was the most elite army sent by Huainan in order to stabilize the country of Chen.As a result, in less than a hundred days, all the generals who were defeated by Cao Cao and failed to escape were all beheaded.

Only general Zhang Xun retreated in time and escaped back to Huainan by chance.

The [-] army is like this, not to mention that there are only more than [-] people in Lu'an City.

Huang Yi was even more terrified when he thought that he could live for less than a hundred days. He said indiscriminately, "As a general, Zhang Xun can't stand against Cao Cao. Why should I guard Lu'an and resist Sun Ce? No Reinforcements, this is a dead city! It cannot be defended."

Shi Yiguan hoped that Huang Yi would say this. He is an alcoholic, so he doesn't care what the world belongs to. He just wants to live, drink more wine, and live happily.

He can get a lot of wine in exchange for writing, why should he fight people desperately?
So Shi Yiguan asked: "Has the captain ever considered the surrender and death of the rest?"

Huang Yi hesitated for a moment, it wasn't that he hesitated to die, this was ruled out by him first.

What he hesitated was whether to surrender!
Surrender is not something unacceptable to him.

But what he was worried about was the situation after the surrender. After all, treason is a serious crime for family punishment. He married Yuan Shu's daughter.

After surrendering, Sun Ce refused to forgive him and directly chopped off his head.He regretted it beyond words.

So after hesitating for a while, Huang Yi said: "These two things are really unwise and should not be done."

Officer Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The captain can't fight, can't defend, and doesn't want to surrender or die. The only thing left to do now is to go!"

36 counting is the best!
Although Shi Yiguan failed to read "36 Stratagems", he still had it clear in his mind.

He said solemnly: "It's still too late to go now. If Sun Ce's army stretching hundreds of miles, besieging the city, the situation will be like the siege of Kunyang. However, Captain Du thinks that among the Zhong clan, is there anyone who can be like Guangwu? Due to bad luck, in Sun Ce's camp, meteors fell into the camp at night, and clouds were like bad mountains in the daytime, so he made him fall into camp?"

Battle of Kunyang?

Huang Yi was completely frightened immediately, thinking how similar this war was to the current one.

At that time, the Kunyang rebel army only numbered a few thousand in number, but Wang Mang sent the great Situ Wang Xun and the great Sikong Wangyi to attack with a million soldiers and 42 soldiers to surround them.Such an elite division selects and trains military guards, recruits warriors, and carries banners and baggage for thousands of miles. It has never been more prosperous since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

More than [-] troops besieged Kunyang. Flags covered the field, dust filled the sky, and the sound of drums and drums could be heard for hundreds of miles.The crossbows were flying wildly, and the arrows were falling like rain. The soldiers in the city had no place to stand, so they asked to surrender.

But it was rejected by Wang Xun and Wang Yi.

The war has reached such an extent that it is beyond human power.

But even if Emperor Guangwu won the battle of Kunyang in the end, it was not because the defenders were able to hold on to the city.It was because Emperor Guangwu led elite soldiers to help, and the new army was hit by a meteorite and hit the barracks stretching hundreds of miles.

Obviously, this kind of thing is extremely difficult to repeat, and Huang Yi is sure that no one will come to rescue him!
If I don't run away again, I will end up like the defenders in Kunyang City, who want to surrender but can't, there is death and no life!
Huang Yi immediately said: "Sir, you are a great talent, let me clear up my confusion! The situation is like this, it is advisable to make a decisive decision and go first. It's just that the enemy army has already surrounded the city, and there are no cavalry in my city. How should I go suddenly?"

How can Shi Yiguan know this?
Retreating is more difficult than attacking most of the time.

He couldn't even organize an attack, and it was even more impossible to organize a retreat.

So he could only say: "The enemy army is coming from the southeast. We should rush from the west to the northwest. There are only cavalry under the city. If we lead an elite army to rush away, the enemy cavalry will definitely not be able to stop them."

At this time, Huang Yi was already frightened and had no better idea at all.

So he immediately said: "As the master said, I will break out from the west of the city at night."

Huang Yi's idea is very simple, take five thousand soldiers to defend him, even if he is attacked by the enemy cavalry, these soldiers can delay the opponent and cover his sudden escape.

But the problem is that the banners outside the city stretch for hundreds of miles, and the soldiers are more frightened than Huang Yi!
As the chief general, what he should do most at this time is to stabilize the morale of the army and calm down so that the morale of the soldiers can be stabilized.

But his escape from the city was completely exacerbating the panic of the soldiers.

Especially at night, when the line of sight was unclear, they didn't dare to make a fuss, so they just fled quietly.

The cavalry under Zhao Yun's command had no such worries at all.

We can't see each other, so there are many golden drums in night battles!
Huang Yi's troops were just less than ten miles away from the city when they were discovered by the patrolling Xuanjia cavalry.

A whistle sounded, and then there was the sound of golden drums in all directions, the neighing of iron cavalry everywhere, and the screams of fighting in all directions.

Only at this time did Huang Yi know what kind of desperate situation he was facing.

It seems that there are enemies in all directions, and our own troops cannot be mobilized at all.

To say that they were raided, ambushed, and organized to defend at night is completely whimsical!

Unless you rely on camps or fortresses, the opponent cannot attack from all sides, and soldiers can be organized in the rear to form a formation.During the march in the field, they didn't even dare to use torches. The soldiers collided with each other and became a mess in an instant.

One, five or five people couldn't find each other, and there was no way to restore order, let alone the entire phalanx.

The chaotic soldiers couldn't even unify the direction of their spears, and countless soldiers were injured by the halberd blades and spears of friendly troops.

This is the occasion when cavalry use force.

Zhao Yun pursued with his troops, and the soldiers became more courageous when they saw this great victory, and they were all as good as a hundred.

The main force of the Xuanjia cavalry rushed into the center of the city from the water bank in the west of the city. The Huainan army was in chaos. The cavalry collapsed sharply and captured its flag.

But the enemy army was scattered and unable to fight back, so the iron cavalry was divided into several teams, clamoring on all sides, and the combination of Chinese and foreign forces shook the world.As a result, the Huainan army completely collapsed, and those who walked each other fled for more than [-] miles.

The iron cavalry trampled all night, and Shi Yiguan died in battle on the bank of the Bi River.

What's more important is that the Xianshui River is connected to Shaopi. Thousands of corpses in the upper reaches jumped into the river, and a steady stream of Yuan Jun's flags, dead bodies, and remains flowed into Shaopi.

The defenders stationed along the Shaopi line saw so many corpses and flags, without any thought, they also knew that along the Shaopi line, their main force was defeated!
And Huang Yi, who escaped by chance, was also completely frightened. After escaping to Anfeng, he didn't dare to rectify the morale of the army at all, and fled to Shouchun with the defenders overnight.

He, the general, was the first to flee, and the entire Shaopi defense line collapsed completely. In order to avoid being cut off, even Chengde's defenders were forced to abandon the city and retreat to Shouchun.

But all of this has nothing to do with Lu Meng. He made great contributions to this battle. Lu'an was conquered, Huainan's most important line of defense collapsed, and the rest of the cleaning of the battlefield was left to the friendly army.

He spent 40 bolts of cloth from the treasury, which was a huge expense. He was most concerned about the compensation after the war, hoping that the income from this war could make up for the huge expenditure.

So after conquering Lu'an, he handed over the main force of the army to Zhao Yun, and he personally brought his personal guards and officers into Lu'an to check the supplies.

This is the most important logistics center in Huainan. Lu'an's grain and grass not only include the warehouses along Shaopei, but also the logistics supply of Hefei. It is also the lifeblood of all the Lujiang garrison south of Lu'an!

After entering the city, Lu Meng ordered that all the officials and generals in the city be executed, and hundreds of them were executed.

Lu Meng's attitude was very firm. If he surrendered before the army besieged the city, his original crime could be pardoned.If the army surrounds and surrenders, they will not be pardoned!
Following the search of the city, his fellow countrymen and personal guards soon ran to Lu Meng, and said excitedly: "Captain, we have found the mansion in the city!"

Lu Meng asked with concern: "How is the situation? Is it rich?"

The guard said excitedly: "It's hard...it's hard to describe, the captain should go and see for himself!"

Lu Meng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said excitedly, "Lead the way."

Soon surrounded by his personal guards, Lu Meng and his party arrived at the residence in the city.

The rapid footsteps echoed in the middle of the tall and magnificent palace, representing the rule of the new conqueror here.

Looking at such a magnificent building, so tall that it covered the sky and left behind rows of shadows, Lu Meng raised his neck, opened his mouth, and asked in shock: "These... are all the granaries in Huainan?"

The guards said excitedly: "Lieutenant, I have counted, and these granaries are basically full of grain."

"open to take a look!"

The two soldiers on the side immediately stepped forward and pushed open the heavy door of the granary.

With a dull sound, the door slowly opened, and light gradually illuminated the interior of the warehouse.The yellow-orange-orange light of wealth fills the eyes!

Lu Meng took a deep breath instantly!

The warehouse is full of orange corn that has only been harvested for a few years!

Lu Meng asked in shock: "How much grain is there in this warehouse?"

"Xiaowei, according to the head of the valley here, there are [-] shi of grain stored in one warehouse! This place is nearly ten miles away, and there are [-] cellars."

"Three hundred cellars?" Lu Meng laughed excitedly. Doesn't that mean there are nearly 300 million shi of grain?

His personal guard said excitedly: "According to Lu'an's savings, it will be available for Huainan for five or six years!"

No wonder Yuan Shu casually gave a county rations of 20 shi, but if he gave Lu Bu a prince, he waved his hand and took out [-] shi of grain!
What he has stored in this granary in Lu'an is enough for him to squander for a few years!
And since it is a cellar, it means that there is still a deep part of the granary underground.Lu Meng has been in charge of farming, and he knows very well that a granary with this structure can greatly extend the storage life of grain, and it is not a problem to store it for five or six years.

This means that Jiangdong will have two or three years to digest these stored grains!
"Lieutenant, this should be the granary used to supply the capital after Yuan Shu's usurpation. The lieutenant once seized it all, and made Jiangdong rich. With this honor, the promotion of the lieutenant to the general of Zhonglang is just around the corner!"

Lv Meng laughed excitedly. He was promoted to Zhonglang General at the age of weak crown, then he will be a young talent in Jiangdong only weaker than Marquis Wu!
With a granary of more than [-] cellars ten miles away this week, it can be said that the Northern Expedition of the Jiangdong army has completed its achievements.

Even if it is besieged, it is enough to capture important military towns such as Hefei.

Further, the army will approach Shouchun!
These Kinki Jingkou granaries, which were originally stored near the capital of the puppet dynasty, are now all used as supplies for the Jiangdong army that besieged Shouchun.

The entire war situation will therefore change.

However, the impact of this battle was not limited to the area of ​​Shaopi, but from the west of Shaopi, the areas of Lu'an, Anfeng, Anfeng, Liaoxian, Yangquan, and Yulou were greatly shaken, and they fell to the east of the river one after another. .

Huang Yi's defeat was really too fast, and the counties and counties in the rear had no time to rectify their defenses and garrison troops.

I only heard that the Jiangdong army Zhu Qi Jiangtian ahead, the red army array stretched for hundreds of miles, and then the main force of our own side collapsed in the face of the wind.How can the main force of the Jiangdong army be blocked by only relying on the hundreds of soldiers in the county?
It's not that no one tried to resist, but in the face of Zhao Yun's fierce front, the resisters were beheaded within a few days.

Although the city of Huainan was taller and larger than Jiangdong, it was not a dangerous pass after all. Hundreds of defenders could not defend against the onslaught of thousands of elite Jiangdong soldiers.

Especially in the siege army, there are fierce generals gathered. Once a few warriors rush up the city wall, the defenders can't resist this kind of professional warrior who is covered in fine heavy armor and looks like a steel beast.

Under the firm will of Lu Meng and Zhao Yun, all the generals and officials in the city who were captured after the army besieged the city were sentenced to death.The defenders in the counties did not dare to resist resolutely. In just half a decade, Zhao Yun completely pacified the three counties west of Anfeng.

The military prestige is so prominent that it has quickly won the whole army. (end of this chapter)
