"Peng Biao's troops were more than 3,000, and his grain was buried every day. He had abandoned the guards and destroyed the north. The old garrisons in Huai had changed their banners and welcomed the king's army and respectfully obeyed the order of the prince-consort. Once the order was reached, he immediately set up his troops and came to the south to meet to wipe out the slaves and thieves in the wild!"

Several local dock owners in Huainan were introduced into the large tent of the Yuzhou military camp. The military equipment they saw along the way was so fierce that they were frightened. After seeing the appearance of the Yuzhou army, they realized that Peng Biao's command was obviously thousands of elite cavalry, which were a field-fighting heroes, but they did not snipe the opponent in the wild, but they allowed the Yuzhou army to march here.

At the same time, they were also uneasy. The chief general of the Yuzhou Army was a bit too young, and forced Peng Biao to retreat, conquered Shouchun, and won the sharp victory. However, they came to surrender when the general situation was about to be settled. Even if the other party did not care about their previous deeds, it was a big holiday to simply face the sloppy attitude of the recruitment.

So after expressing their attitude of surrender, they couldn't help but remind: "Although Peng Biao's troops were short of food, they still gathered thousands of people. The knights were armored and their combat power should not be underestimated. Moreover, there were still slaves between Huai and Si, and the land of Shouchun was heavy and the waters of Huai and Si were exhausted. If the troops gathered to counterattack, the war might be reversed. The king's army might be tired from afar, so please ask the prince-consort to lead his troops to Shouchun early and resist the city to defend. As for foreign enemies, our villagers must fight hard and not allow the thieves to cross the Huai and rage the countryside!"

At this time, Shen Zhezi had already been involved in Luodu, who had confronted Peng Biao's troops earlier, leaving behind a critical passage for thousands of people to defend, and he only led the victorious army to continue to advance northward.

News of Shouchun City being captured and regained was spreading in this Huainan area this morning. As long as Peng Biao and the Jiehu army were eliminated, the battle to recover Huainan in winter can be said to be a successful end. With the great affairs of the King's Army to be settled, those who come to surrender are constantly on the way. Shen Zhezi's current reception of these people is already the second wave today.

Although Peng Biao broke through many walls in this Huainan area and drove the people to flee south, it did not mean that all the villagers were cleaned up.

In fact, Huainan, where the important town of Shouchun is located, is connected to Xuyan in the east and Yusi in the west, which is one of the important settlements for refugees to flee south. Therefore, this area is also full of walls and has many food. Not to mention that Shi Zhao has only mastered Shouchun for less than two years, even if there are repeated wars in the future, during the Qi and Liang period of the Southern Dynasties, this place is an extremely important place for the Jiangdong court to recruit food and garrison.

Although Peng Biao drove away the villagers, the strong enemy from the south came steadily, so he only dared to choose some soft persimmons to pinch them. He did not dare to touch the truly powerful wall walls, so as not to consume too much.

Therefore, although the king had already arrived at this state, the dock wall owners who were guarding the crowds and were forced to see Shen Zhezi due to the general situation, they still had a good attitude, rather than catering without any bottom line.

The so-called inviting Shen Zhezi to Shouchun early to take charge is nothing more than worrying that he will be like Peng Biao, relying on his military power to gallop in the countryside and attacking them and other villagers. Taking the initiative to take on the war is nothing more than deceptive to his youth and ignorance and unaware of the situation in Huainan. Taking advantage of this situation that is about to be settled, he will master several key points of geographical advantages and interests, and whether he protects himself or makes other plans in the future, he will have some support.

Born in troubled times, Huainan is a place where there are long and frequent battles. These people have their own plans and what kind of plans to make. This has nothing to do with loyalty, justice and morality, but only human nature.

To a certain extent, these dock wall owners who each own the public and protect themselves are actually even more bastard than the high ranks of Jiangdong. Although the internal struggles in Jiangdong are endless, at least they all revolve around a common court and have a concept of maintaining Jiangdong together.

But these people talked about the overall situation and loyalty to them, that was nonsense. Even if the situation in Huainan is very good at the moment, if Shen Zhezi cannot properly handle their demands, these people would dare to lead Huainbei slave soldiers to the south in minutes to drive the Yuzhou army out of Huainan, so that all the results of this battle would be ruined.

This is not an exaggeration. Zu Yue was destroyed like this. Even if he was unbearable, Zu's family had been in charge of this state for 10 or 20 years. People always have a much higher reputation than Shen Zhezi, a newcomer. Where is the result now? It is true that Zu Yue is a typical example of his own death, but if Shen Zhezi comes first, if he does not make concessions and does not win them over, wouldn't he be willing to die?

Each of them has a large number of people, which gives them the foundation of their own strength. The situation of confrontation between the north and the south provides them with opportunities to get along with each other. As long as no one of the north and the south can gain a completely overwhelming advantage, and the need to win over the free forces in the middle, they have room for survival here.

In such a chaotic era, any consideration is cruel to put it bluntly. Shen Zhezi came slowly and left Peng Biao with plenty of time to rage in Huainan. In addition to seducing the enemy, there was no need to use Peng Biao to clean up the land of Huainan. His overall situation was not the overall situation that others recognized, and it would not make sense, so teach them with iron blood.

"I am valued by the king and I am restrained from coming from the north. I have been trembling all the way, for fear that my mission will make mistakes and will fail the country's benefits. I am also afraid that the king's army will be blocked halfway, so that the county people hope that the king's army will become empty. Fortunately, I finally established this state and received praise from all the local wise men. It can be said that I have got what I want."

Facing these people, Shen Zhezi was still kind-hearted, and then he sighed: "In the early years, the country was lost, which was not the crime of the villagers, but he was going to be slaves and was tragically ravaged. All the ministers of Wang Yu were full of grudges and shame, and they only wanted to annihilate the slave army and save the people. If you can survive the destruction of slave thieves, how can I bear to drive the villagers to block the slaves with flesh and blood?"

"As you said, although Peng Biao's troops were defeated, their combat power was still there. This thief was so brave that he was full of atrocities. He didn't know what evil deeds he would do in the future! The man was whistling and whipping the countryside, and he could not stop him. At this point, the king's army was originally to kill the thief, so how could he stay in the big city because of his temporary peace? Therefore, although you have the intention, I dare not send it lightly, which caused another tragic incident in the county. I only asked the villagers in the county to protect themselves and do not leave easily. I will take it myself!"

This is also what I have been used to in recent days. Shen Zhezi spoke incessantly: "As for the slaves in Huaibei may have counterattacks, you don't have to worry about this. The Peng thief has been trapped in this territory, and the way to visit the south has been opened. In the future, the comrades of the King of Yuzhou will continue to rise and will never let the slave thieves pass through Huai. What's more, this northward advance is not a light move by Liang County. Xi Gong of Xuzhou will also rush to help within ten days. Huainan is stable, so at this time!"

After saying that, Shen Zhezi stopped entangling with these people, and asked his personal soldiers to invite them out, either giving them a few pairs of armor or some bows and arrows, which was to repay them for their intention to surrender.

Since the war has advanced, it has reached the end stage of being careful and not having any major mistakes. Because there are still other Peng Biao's troops, Shen Zhezi has a clear attitude and will not allow these villagers to interfere in the war. It also has different meanings in the eyes of different people.

Some of the weak Wubi were worried that they would be summoned by the king's army to participate in the encirclement and suppression. After learning about this attitude, they were relieved.

Some powerful Wubi were a little unwilling to be lonely and wanted to make a difference in the turmoil in Huainan. Therefore, on Shen Zhezi's subsequent journey north, he received some urgent letters of help. The locals mobilized their troops to privately seize a certain place without authorization, and they encountered the attack of Jienu Youqi.

Shen Zhezi has the same attitude towards this kind of help letter, and he will not respond and will not save him when he dies!

Even though the war happened several miles away from his way forward, he still maintained his original marching plan and continued to march almost rigidly. And the two strongholds in Shouchun and Luojian that had already been acquired, they could just keep the orders given to them.

Therefore, the most active part in Huainan area is the remnants of Peng Biao's troops. They rushed left and right and wanted to open an exit, but they encountered walls everywhere. The only active part of the rest is the Shengwu Army led by Shen Zhezi and the cavalry of Shen Mu and Han Huang who had already crossed Luojian. However, both of them have routes of activity, and they are even consciously avoiding Peng Biao's troops, and there is no decisive battle.

As for the mobilization of soldiers outside Huainan, the reinforcements that Peng Biao was looking forward to were the most timely guarding the forts in various places in Huainan. However, these forts ranged from hundreds to hundreds. They were able to help each other, and there were no strong soldiers stationed here. Even if they wanted to run for help, they would mostly attack tentatively and could not break through the Luojian and Matou, which Cao Na stationed.

In the direction of Shouchun, Guo Song and Mao Bao quickly fought and won the Jincheng, and then defended the city with Mao Bao. Guo Song crossed the river and attacked the Jienu River North Water Village, sank, burned more than a hundred boats and ships to strictly prevent the Huai River. Even if Jienu had strong troops to help, it would be difficult for him to cross the Huai River for a while.

As Liang County arrived in Luodu for 5,000 reinforcements, Shen Zhezi finally stopped polite. The troops began to move closer to the central Huainan area, gradually exploited Peng Biao's activity space, and finally drove his people to the small city in Huainan. The lonely city could not be defended, so Peng Biao naturally understood this truth, especially his troops had many cavalrymen, and trapped the lonely city, which undoubtedly had half of his combat effectiveness.

But the problem is that he has no choice. He has no choice but to wander in the wild, spending more food and grass, and there are many people who flee. However, his opponents have no aggression to give him the opportunity to fight. If it weren't for some docking in the realm, he would have gained something, he would probably have not been able to hold on to it now.

Now that his troops are surrounded by enemies, he can only hope that the reinforcements around him can make breakthroughs, or many will be delayed for a quarter of an hour, and the war will turn around. Therefore, trapping the small city in Huainan to wait for the situation to change, became his only way out.

Of course, there is another vitality, that is, surrender. Therefore, after retreating to the small town of Huainan, Peng Biao immediately sent an envoy to Shen Zhezi's camp to invite him to discuss the surrender.

Although he had known before that the enemy's chief general was cruel and ruthless, even if he was captured by Huang Quan, he would behead him immediately. However, he was different from Huang Quan. Now his troops still have more than 2,000 people, and the other party still had to pay a huge price to wipe out the entire body.

Since the two sides started the war, the losers he lost were all strategies, but in fact there was no fierce battle. Even if he had taken all the advantages, the other party still seeks stability and avoids fighting, which shows that he also needs to preserve his strength.

Therefore, Peng Biao believed that as long as he handed over the letter of surrender, the other party would be somewhat moved. Then he would negotiate and negotiate details. Even if the negotiations were not reached in the end, the time required for this negotiation process might save his life.
