When Huang Zu stood at the top of the city, he looked towards the south bank.
Xiakou, which had only been burned for a few days, was in flames again.
It’s just that the last time the fire stretched for several miles along the river and was in the shape of a line, but this time the fire was in the shape of a ball, burning the entire sky.
Huang Zu quickly identified the largest fire among them. It was the direction of Jiangxia Mountain, and the entire Jiangxia Mountain was burning!
Huang Zu couldn't believe it: "The camp of Yuan Jun was leaked?"
"How much water has it taken to reach this point?"
"There are many vegetation in Jiangxia Mountain, and the weather is dry and dry right now. It's not surprising that the water is like this!"
someone explained.
Some people also flattered Huang Zu: "This is a good sign from heaven!"
"God knew that the Lord was going to attack the Yuan thieves, so he sent down his power to help our army. As long as the Lord leads the army to attack, the enemy army will be defeated!"
Huang Zu must be in a good mood if he hears such comfortable flattery.
However, I don't know why, Huang Zu just felt weird tonight.
"Then what is burning the two large and small fires in front of Jiangxia Mountain?"
Everyone scratched their heads, look at me, I don’t think you can answer.
A primary school student made a visual inspection and expressed his opinion: "Looking at the distance, the two fires seem to be on the water."
There's a fire on the water?
The soldier on the side, Cao Yu, suddenly thought of something, and immediately gestured with the size of the fire ball with his hand, and said hurriedly: "Report to the prefect, if I guess correctly, the two fire balls are none other than Governor Su's triple-story ship and Zhang Shuo's ship." The stern rushed the ship."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bing Caoyu explained: "The lower official is in charge of the construction of weapons and warships. The two fires can only be caused by the building ship and the stern being burned, and the fire reflected on the water surface. "
"The small fires next to it should be the gondola being set on fire."
Everyone looked at each other, and Huang Zu's face turned livid.
"Who just said that Yuan Ying got away with it?"
"Who said this was a good omen from heaven?"
When everyone saw Huang Zu's change of expression, they immediately took a few steps back in fear of not being able to do so.
Only the two talkative guys were left.
Huang Zu looked at the two people, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "I fell into someone else's trick, but I'm still here to talk nonsense!"
"Somebody come!"
"Give me twenty slaps!"
After Huang Zu finished speaking, several personal guards immediately rushed up to them. Before the two men could even say anything about begging for mercy, they were slapped in the mouth several times.
Bang bang bang~
The two men were immediately beaten until their mouths were filled with blood. One of them had several teeth knocked out, and they could no longer speak a word.
Huang Zu's anger was still lingering, his eyes were flashing with fire, and his chest was heaving violently.
"Okay, okay!"
"What a stratagem! The person who came up with this stratagem is amazing!"
"I really want to know who gave Yuan Jun this plan!"
"I swear that I will kill him with his skin and eat his flesh!"
Huang Zu looked up to the sky and roared.
In fact, there was no need for Huang Zu to recall Huang She and Han Xi so quickly. The more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops themselves carried enough military rations to last another ten days and a half.
A group of counselors and staff in Jiangxia Town also gave Huang Zu advice. Since the ambush set for Yuan Jun in Lushan Mountain had been discovered, it would be better to let Huang She and Han Xi lead the Jingzhou army to capture Chaisang City before returning for reinforcements. Late.
However, the reason why Huang Zu sent a fast ship to urgently call back the army the next day after being attacked by Yuan's army was that he wanted to directly pursue and intercept Yuan's army on the south bank of Jiangxia, and then use his superior strength to encircle and annihilate him.
In this way, Yuan Jun can lose most of his main force. At that time, if he sends his army eastward, how can Yuan Yao'er defend Yuzhang County?
In this way, he not only avenged the attack on Jiangxia, but also successfully annexed Yuzhang County!
So at first Huang Zu was worried that Yuan Jun would run away the next day after the sneak attack. But when he saw Yuan Jun setting up camp on the south bank, even dividing his troops to attack Sha Xian, and imitating himself in building a city on the south bank to defend himself, Huang Zu just looked up to the sky and laughed, feeling that Yuan Yao was overestimating his own capabilities and taking advantage of him without knowing how to leave.
But who would have thought that what Huang Zu thought was just what Yuan Yao wanted him to think.
Knowing that Huang Zu finally knew that he was completely teased by Yuan Yao, it was not surprising that he was gritting his teeth.
If the anger level is divided into one to ten degrees, Huang Zu's anger value at this time has already reached eight or nine degrees.
Huang Zu's anger level exploded two days later.
Huang Zu finally learned from a deserter under Zhang Shuo that the person who gave Yuan Yao advice was none other than Su Fei, his most trusted confidant.
Not only did Su Fei survive the Battle of Xiakou, but he also surrendered Yuan Yao!
The words are divided into two parts. In the mountains at the junction of the southeast of Jiangxia County and the northwest of Yuzhang County, an army in yellow armor is marching along the rugged mountain road.
Yuan Yao was riding leisurely on his horse, humming an unknown song.
How angry Huang Zu was, how proud Yuan Yao was at this moment.
"Su Fei, you have made a meritorious service this time!"
"It's all thanks to your strategy that we can get here safely!"
Su Fei rode behind Yuan Yao.
Facing Yuan Yao's seemingly praising words, Su Fei just said respectfully: "Su Fei dare not take credit. This is all due to the young general's wise and decisive decision-making."
"Su Fei, Su Fei...it's a little weird to call you that. Is it okay if I call you that in the future?"
Every time Yuan Yao calls Su Fei's name, he thinks of a famous aunt's scarf brand from later generations, which really makes him laugh.
"How dare Su Fei?"
Although Yuan Yao called him by his first name, how could Su Fei dare to get angry?
"Young General, who was born in a noble family, is now a powerful general. It is in line with etiquette for a high-ranking person to call the low-ranking one by his first name. What's wrong with that?"
Yuan Yao nodded, but felt a little contempt for Su Fei in his heart.
Su Fei was right, but in fact, only when one person's status far exceeds that of another person, can he be called by his first name.
Generally, in order to show respect and politeness, everyone will use phonics to address someone.
Those who call each other by their first names are either resentful or look down upon.
Of course, Yuan Yao is not looking down on Su Fei. He still recognizes Su Fei's intelligence. However, as a time traveler who is familiar with history, he knows that Su Fei is a bit greedy for life and afraid of death, so he cannot help but not paying attention to it.
"Su Fei..."
"Su Fei is here." Su Fei responded immediately, keeping his gaze below Yuan Yao's neck from beginning to end.
"I heard that Colonel Lu said that there were a lot of deserters under Zhang Shuo. What do you think?"
Although Yuan Yao looked indifferent on the surface, he was actually paying attention to Su Fei's facial expression.
Su Fei thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied: "Zhang Shuo, as a leader, was not strict with his subordinates and caused the soldiers to flee. He should be severely punished."
"Gone?"
Yuan Yao tilted his head: "The back is gone?"
Su Fei: "No more."
Yuan Yao nodded: "In my opinion, this is not entirely his responsibility..."
Su Fei: "Oh?"
Without testing Su Fei's words, Yuan Yao couldn't hold his breath anymore and could only continue: "His soldiers are all brought over from your side...Huang Zu's subordinates. They are all descendants of Jiangxia. After hearing this, It is normal for you to be a little reluctant to leave your hometown and follow me to Yuzhang County."
"But Zhang Shuo is quite reliable in his work. Even when he went to Shaxian to show off his bluff, no one found out. Lieutenant Lu also told me that he is still a loyal person..."
"In my opinion, there is no need for punishment this time."
"As for the soldiers who escaped, we won't talk about the ones we didn't catch. Let the ones we caught let go. After all, it's human nature to want to be filial to our parents!"
Su Fei: "The young general is so magnanimous. Zhang Shuo and others will burst into tears of gratitude to the general and be heartbroken."
The two were silent for a long time.
Yuan Yao: "Su Fei..."
Su Fei was still respectful: "Su Fei is here."
"Since Zhang Shuo used to be your subordinate, I'd better transfer him back to your subordinates when he returns. Chen Jiu will also be given the rank of captain."
"You used to be the governor of Jiangxia under Huang Zu, and one person was inferior to ten thousand people. Now that you are here, I can't treat you badly."
"I divided Yuzhang County and established a new Luling County. There is still a shortage of a county captain there. How about you take the two of them to Luling to take office?"
Yuan Yao stared closely at Su Fei's eyes, trying to find any possible abnormalities.
