On the narrow Mishui River, more than a hundred rafts were rushing towards the south bank. Behind the rafts, there were hundreds of wooden piles floating, with five or six arms hanging on each wooden pile.
Under Zhang Yu's order, the soldiers huddled in the camp, and the catapults and bows and arrows were not pushed forward immediately.
There are enemies to the north, west, and east, and it's no longer clear who is real and who is imaginary.
Zhang Yu is cautious by nature, but if he is too cautious, he will worry about gains and losses and be hesitant.
Xie Su cupped his hands and said: "We are surrounded by enemies on three sides. I would like to lead our headquarters to defend the south, so as not to block our retreat."
Zhang Yu sneered, "Did your Excellency abandon the camp?"
Xie Su laughed twice as his thoughts were revealed, "Why did you say this?"
"Envoy, the right camp has been ambushed by the enemy, and three thousand soldiers are fleeing!" The scout brought back the first bad news.
The right camp, like the left camp, was not an elite force.
Elites are not so easy to come by. In the battle at Xuanyuan Mountain, Zhang Yu lost a lot of elites. He has not recovered yet, so he can only collect the elites from Yuzhou to make up for his loss.
But three thousand troops were defeated in less than an hour, which was a bit frightening.
This is not the only bad news. The enemy's cavalry is heading towards the civilian camp in the southeast.
The Minfu camp was hidden in the valley at the rear, but it still did not escape the scouts of the rebels.
"Capture Zhang Yu!" The enemy's roars got louder and louder.
"This battle has been delayed for too long, our morale has been lost, and the bandit army is coming with ferocity. I think it's better to avoid their attack for the time being." Xie Su said cautiously.
"Your Majesty, report to Yecheng Residence!" The guard came in holding a secret letter.
The Yuzhou Governor's History Department has a residence in Yecheng. It is responsible for conveying Jie Zhao's political orders and collecting news from Yecheng.
When the two armies are fighting, if it is not a major event, reports or decrees will be sent to Xuchang.
Zhang Yu opened his newspaper and looked shocked after reading the words on it. Shi Tao was assassinated, Shi Xuan was tortured to death, Shi Hu was seriously ill...
This is clearly a precursor to chaos in the world.
Zhang Yu felt happy, the chaos in the world was exactly the opportunity for people like him.
Yuzhou does not necessarily have to march to Xingyang. Half of this battle is for revenge, and the other half is an advance deployment to cooperate with Jiangdong in regaining Luoyang.
Greater good is at hand.
After a long period of confrontation, Zhang Yu had no determination to fight to the death.
"Send the order, after the left camp is broken up, the other armies should return to Mi County!" Zhang Yu waved his hand.
Xie Su was shocked and dropped the squid in his hand. Zuo Ying was the leader of their Xie family, "Envoy!"
Zhang Yu looked at him sideways and said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. The thieves are bluffing and they will not dare to attack. We only need to defend for two hours and I will take care of him."
Even if the enemy is bluffing, they will definitely launch a fierce attack when they see Zhang Yu's army retreating.
Although Xie Su is a playboy, he is not a fool. Zhang Yu is pushing the Xie family into the fire pit.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. For the sake of the Xie family, I will never sit back and watch your destruction. This is a military order, and anyone who doesn't follow it will be killed!" Zhang Yu said with murderous intent.
The surrounding guards pressed the hilt of the knife.
Now that the situation in the north is about to change, Zhang Yu's reliance on Jiangdong will be greatly reduced. Moreover, he is just a nephew of the Xie family and cannot represent the entire Jiangdong. If he dies, he will die.
"Take, take the order!" Resentment flashed out of Xie Su's eyes.
In fact, it is still too late to retreat together at this time. There is no need to break up the rear. It will take time for the enemy army to cross the river. After the enemy army in the west defeated the 3,000 men of the right camp, they did not pursue the victory. The target of the cavalry in the east is not here...
Zhang Yu laughed twice, and left with his guards satisfied.
More than two thousand soldiers gathered in the empty main camp, Xie Su's face was covered with cold sweat.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered Zhang Yu's origin, a refugee commander, just like Su Jun and Zu Yue back then.
The entire Jiangdong has a bad impression of the refugee commander.
They come from the lower class, are aggressive, capricious, and have a ruthless nature.
The roar of the rebel army is getting closer and closer.
When the situation reached a desperate situation, these Jiangdong soldiers were also forced to show their blood. They were also refugees from the north and were resettled in Qiaojun, Huainan. They did not lack the courage to fight.
Not to mention they are well equipped.
"Kill the thief!" dozens of people in the front row roared.
There are many spears and crossbows.
Bring Xie Su, who was deep in thought and regret, back to reality.
"The matter has come to this, we can only fight bloody battles and be loyal to the imperial court!" Xie Wan pulled out the gleaming sword.
Xie Su took a deep breath and walked to the formation, "All armies listen to the order, put down their weapons and surrender!"
The surrounding soldiers were all stunned and looked at Xie Su in disbelief.
"All armies obey the order and surrender!" Xie Su was confident.
There was a "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang and clang."
The soldiers had already laid down their weapons.
"Can Zimuan surrender to the thieves?" Xie Wan looked angry.
Xie Su looked at him coldly, picked up the long sword on the ground, and put it back into his hand, "Uncle, if you are willing to be loyal to the court, you can carry the sword forward!"
Xie Wan's hand trembled and the sword fell to the ground again.
Since the founding of the Western Jin Dynasty, there have been very few public officials and nobles who died for the country...
Li Yue looked at the empty enemy camp and thought it was an ambush set by Zhang Yu.
It wasn't until the more than two thousand soldiers in the camp put down their weapons that they realized that Zhang Yu had really retreated.
In the entire battle, Cui Jin was the only one who defeated Zhang Yu's 3,000 men by using a trick of suspicion, and then captured the Chinese camp without any blood.
Although Zhang Yu retreated, his things did not escape. The food, grass and baggage in the camp were piled up like mountains.
There are also more than two thousand soldiers from the Xie family...
"Su has been waiting here for the leader of the village for a long time." Xie Su bowed his hand in a very decent manner, "Zhang Yu retreated in a hurry. It is the time for pursuit. The leader of the village must not let go of this beast!"
Before Li Yue opened his mouth, Xie Su said a lot.
Judging from the meaning of his words, it seemed that the two had a falling out.
After thinking about it for a moment, he knew the reason. When Zhang Yu asked him to break up, he obviously wanted him to die.
Xie Su surrendered directly and defeated his entire army.
As expected, internal fighting is their specialty.
"Without further delay, I will lead my army to pursue him. If the enemy's formation is not disordered, I will attack and harass them. If they are defeated, I will capture and kill Zhang Yu in one fell swoop!" Cui Jin cupped his hands and said.
"Yes." If it were someone else, Li Yue would be uneasy, but if it was Cui Jin, there would be no problem.
In this battle, it was he who led a thousand men from Xuanyuan Mountain to defeat Zhang Yu's 3,000 men and displayed great momentum.
Cui Jin turned around and left.
Li Yue's eyes fell on Xie Su, "Is the envoy okay?"
"The leader of the village is indeed a very good person. If Zhang Yu can be captured and killed in this battle, Yuzhou will be gained by the leader of the village. If he reports to the court, he will be able to get the position of governor of Yuzhou easily!"
He reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man, but Xie Su was so cooperative that Li Yue didn't know how to deal with him.
It is definitely impossible to recruit him. This person will never be used by Black Cloud Mountain.
It was even more impossible to chop him off with a knife, and he would face revenge from the Xie family, which would completely turn his back on Jiang Dong, not to mention that he surrendered voluntarily.
Li Yue smiled and said: "The position of governor of Yuzhou?"
Xie Su beat the snake and put it on the stick, "Exactly, I will return to Jiankang right now to lobby the court. The village owner is a loyal man, and he should be the governor of Yuzhou, no, the shepherd of Yuzhou!"
"This meeting is quite difficult. I have not fulfilled my friendship as a landlord, so why should the envoy be anxious?" Of course Li Yue would not let him run away just like that.
Xie Su rolled his eyes and said, "Thanks to the kindness of the village master, I am disrespectful."
