"The big-eared thief is here again! Come on again! Get up quickly! Get up quickly! Bowman, get ready! Spearman, get ready! Don't sleep, get up quickly, get up!"

On the same night when the main force of Xuzhou defeated Yuan Shu's army, it happened to be in the middle of the night at the quiet third o'clock in the morning. Another team of Liu Bei's army touched the moat of Quyang City. Suddenly, they beat gongs and drums, shouting and making noise, which shocked the soldiers of Xuzhou who were sleeping in the armor and openly on Quyang City. The soldiers of Xuzhou who were sleeping on the city tower also quickly stood up, stared at their weapons and rushed out with their blood-filled eyes, and flew to their posts to guard the city. Similar shouts echoed on the walls of Quyang City again.

What made the Xuzhou soldiers angry was that when their team was just arranged, the team of Liu Bei soldiers who were beating gongs and drums ran away quickly with their tails. The city wall was empty and there was no sign of a ghost. In this way, it was the fourth time tonight that Xuzhou soldiers who were tortured so much were of course furious. They cursed with the names of Uncle Liu and the Sangong of Little Yuan, and the Xuzhou general Zang Ba, who was guarding the city wall with injuries, was even more furious. "Big ear thief! A shameless traitor who had the luck, if you have the ability, you will have a dignified battle. What kind of heroes are calculated by using the tired soldiers?"

Zang Ba’s anger is not without reason. Our Uncle Liu’s luck on the battlefield in Quyang this time was really outrageous! After our Uncle Liu crossed the south, he gritted his teeth and took over the task of attacking Quyang from the young Yuan Sangong. Considering that most of his subordinates were newly recruited mobs, he also knew that his main opponents were the Feng Yu Army led by Xu Sheng and the Langya Army led by Zang Ba. Originally, even Uncle Liu did not have much hope of victory, but just made a decision to be cannon fodder for Xiao Yuan Sangong to prove that he had the courage to fight the Xuzhou army in a field, and then he tried to find a way to cheat food and soldiers from Xiao Yuan Sangong to deceive territory - this is also the real purpose of our Uncle Liu to rescue Xiao Yuan Sangong with all his strength.

No one expected that the Uncle Liu, who had always been outrageously lucky, won the grand prize again this time, and won the five million prize twice in one breath! When Liu Bei's army arrived at the city of Quyang, Zang Ba was ordered to give up the restraint of Qiao Rui's army and lead the army back to Quyang City. Uncle Liu, gritted the bullet and asked Zhang Fei to intercept the army. Zang Ba, who had never fought with Zhang Fei, was not aware of his life or death. He was also angry with Zhang Sanye's old revenge for his brother Sun Kang to kill with one spear, and he came out to fight with Zhang Fei. The result was also imagined that after more than twenty rounds of fight, Zang Ba was stabbed by Zhang Fei and almost died on his left shoulder and defeated back to the formation. The morale of the Langya soldiers was greatly reduced. Zhang Fei took the opportunity to cover the killing. The old cockroach Qiao Rui of Huainan also led his army to kill from Yinling. The two armies joined forces to attack Zang Ba's army forward and back, and Zang Ba's army was in a hurry.

The situation has come to this point. The combat effectiveness of the Langya soldiers in Zangba's team was originally attacked by Zhang Fei and Qiao Rui, even if they were unable to turn the defeat into victory, they would not suffer a great loss. At the same time, after receiving the news that Zang Ba's army was in a tight position, Lu Su decisively dispatched another ace Feng Yu army from Xu Sheng, and led by Xu Sheng to the battlefield ten miles away to reinforce. Although Liu Huangshu sent Guan Yu to lead the army to intercept Feng Yu army, he would definitely not be able to withstand the overwhelming and endless powerful crossbow arrows of the Feng Yu army! But at this moment, Uncle Liu's second prize came - the sky that had been clear for a long time suddenly became dark clouds, and in a blink of an eye, lightning and thunder were roaring, and a storm broke out on the battlefield!

The heavy rain was so good. Feng Yujun, who had made a living by relying on strong crossbows, was stunned. The beast tendons and bowstrings in their hands became soft when they encountered water. They lost their elasticity and could not shoot arrows. No matter how many cheap Feng Yu arrows were in their hands, they were useless. Guan Erye, the number one man from the Three Kingdoms, took the opportunity to rush and attack, leading his army into the Feng Yujun's position to fight in close combat. In this way, Feng Yujun naturally wanted to not suffer any loss. After a fierce battle in the rain, Feng Yujun lost more than 400 people, and the Xuzhou infantry that covered Feng Yujun also lost more than 500 people and was forced to withdraw back to Quyang City to shelter from the rain.

Drinking cold water was too stuffy to encounter such a bad thing. Of course, the morale of the Xuzhou army was greatly reduced. More than 4,000 newly-reduced cannon fodders in Zang Ba's team also rebelled in large quantities, which further shook the morale and morale of Zang Ba's team. However, this was also because Zang Ba's own fault. The Langya soldiers under Zang Ba's command were difficult to change in nature and were used to being dissipated. Tao Ying punished the Langya soldiers because of Zang Ba's inconvenient status. These Langya soldiers bullied the surrendered cannon fodder soldiers naturally became unscrupulous. In the unfavorable situation, the newly-reduced cannon fodder soldiers who were abused by Langya soldiers naturally had a strange intention.

As a result of his own injury, Zang Ba was forced to wait for the rain to stop and came to rescue. He led his army to retreat to the north gate of Quyang. Qiao Rui and Zhang Fei took the opportunity to chase him. Zang Ba's army suffered heavy casualties. The more than 4,000 cannon fodder soldiers who had been descending in Dangtu Zhao either died in battle or fled in scattered. More than one thousand cannon fodder soldiers who had been reborn in the warm and broad arms of the three Duke of Yuan, almost completely lost. They were all due to the struggle of the veterans of Langya to fight to the death. Only then did Zang Ba escape back to Quyang City, and the injured Zang Ba did not fall into the hands of Yuan and Liu coalition forces.

With incredible good luck, he defeated the Feng Yu Army and Langya Army, the main force of the two major war soldiers in Xuzhou. He had never dared to dream of really taking down Quyang City. He also seemed to have received a 180-year-old injection of a heart-warming agent. He began to question whether he was destined to be the one who was young and three-month invaded Quyang City. Qiao Rui, the most powerful general in the northern line of Yuan Shu's army, also knew that the fighter's avail was once a year, not only did he not care about it.

He also tried every means to provide advice for Uncle Liu and assist Uncle Liu in attacking Quyang at all costs. After receiving the good news, the Sangong of Yuan, who was hiding in Shouchun, was even more happy to jump up. Regardless of the resolute opposition of the Lord Bo Yan Xiang, he sent general Lei Bo to lead an army of 15,000 to escort a large number of military funds to reinforce Quyang, striving to take the opportunity to regain the important town of Quyang and turn the main force of Xuzhou, which went south to attack Hefei into an isolated army.

In this way, facing the Liu Yuan coalition army whose troops had soared to more than 50,000, the Xuzhou army in Quyang City naturally struggled to fight. The troops left the city were not as strong as the Liu Yuan coalition army, and the generals could not defeat the Liu Yuan coalition army, so they could only passively defended the door and stayed behind. As Deputy Director Tao guessed, Liu Huangshu, who had sufficient cannon fodder, attacked Quyang City without regard for casualties. The first day of the siege was made with earth and stone.

The corpses of the soldiers filled the moat in Quyang, and then the ladder truck, the city car, the chariot and the thunder chariot took turns to fight, attacking the Quyang city walls one after another with no life. After a short three-day siege battle, Liu Huangshu threw down the bodies of more than 8,000 cannon fodder soldiers under the city of Quyang. The Xuzhou army, which was passively defending, also suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and nearly half of them were the main combat soldiers of Xuzhou.

At the same time, Uncle Liu also listened to Qiao Rui's two suggestions to attack the city. The first was to dig tunnels to attack the city based on the thick soil in Quyang. Although Lu Su used the trick of digging deep trenches in the city to crack it. Qiao Rui proposed a more vicious plan to attack the Xuzhou army's shortcomings of insufficient troops, so that Uncle Liu would send hundreds of people to the city to beat drums and drums every half an hour at night. He shouted and pretended to attack the city, so as to exhaust the mental and physical strength of the Xuzhou soldiers. Lu Su, Zang Ba and others could not do this. If a truth suddenly came during the ten days, the Xuzhou soldiers in Quyang would not even cry.

So there is no way. Lu Su, Zang Ba, Cao Xing, Xu Sheng and others could only divide the army into two teams, and rotated to guard the city wall day and night. Uncle Liu would fight once every time he came to harass him. He could be awakened for the first time in one night. The teams that were on duty were basically exhausted, and their spirit and physical strength were extremely depressed. At the same time, they had to go to the city to reinforce during the day in critical moments. It can be said that they didn't dare to rest assured to sleep. The morale fell further and their physical strength and combat effectiveness were greatly reduced. Lu Su, Zang Ba and others were anxious about this, but they were helpless.

After the poor Xuzhou soldiers were tossed over and over again, the sky finally became dark. However, before the Xuzhou soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, the siege of Liu Huangshu once again appeared under Quyang City, or outside the east and south Sanmen City in Quyang at the same time. The poor Xuzhou soldiers did not even have the chance to rotate down the city to rest. They could only ring the gong of the alarm and call on their companions in the city to fight.

After a moment, the extremely fierce siege war began again. Liu Bei's army soldiers, who could not even have enough food in Runan, continued to serve as cannon fodder. They worked hard for the illusory promises of Uncle Liu, and shouted with various siege weapons. The Yuan Shujun under Qiao Rui and Lei Bo were mainly responsible for auxiliary tasks, using sieves, long shields, earth bags and other objects to build temporary fortifications on the moat, hiding after the fortifications, suppressing the defenders on the city with bows and arrows.

Like the previous three days, the battle on the fourth day had entered a white heat from the beginning. Tens of thousands of Liu Bei's cannon fodders attacked the Quyang city wall in wave after wave. Once they found that the city defense was weak, they immediately threw heavy troops into the air. Arrows came and went like locusts, and the sound of killing on the ground was like thunder. Hundreds of flying ladders and dozens of large ladder trucks were placed on the top of the city. Liu Bei's infantry stepped on the ladder and attacked up. The fighting crowd had already fought in a melee on the top of the city. From time to time, soldiers from both sides fell from the height of the city wall and fell heavily, falling into the dense pile of corpses below the city wall. Layer heights, and the splashed blood dyed the Quyang city wall a large area of ​​terrible dark red, which was shocking.

Faced with such repeated and fierce attacks from Uncle Liu, not only did the passive Xuzhou army have to pay a huge price to defend the city, but the generals under the command of the Sangong of Liu, who was an ally of Uncle Liu, could not help but be moved. While secretly admiring Uncle Liu's organization and agitating ability, Qiao Rui couldn't help but whisper to remind Uncle Liu: "Duke Xuande, if you continue to attack like this, will your army suffer too much casualties be unfavorable to our next battle? Our enemy is not only the Xuzhou bandit army in Quyang City, but also the real main force of the Xuzhou bandit army is two hundred miles south of us, and you may return to Quyang at any time."

Uncle Liu's face was solemn, and after a while he sighed, he said with a heartache: "General Qiao, it's not that he is not polite to the soldiers, and he also feels sorry for these soldiers who died in Runan. But we have no time. As the general said, the main force of the Tao Ying traitor is two hundred miles south. As long as the Tao Ying traitor is willing, the main infantry can fight back to Quyang City at most three days. Tao Ying's hypocritical soldier can easily fight back to Quyang City as long as he is willing. If we don't seize the time and do not seize this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to fight in the future."

Qiao Rui was silent, and only sighed after a long time of silence: "People say that Duke Xuande values ​​promises and values ​​righteousness. If you meet him today, you will be well-known. My Lord Yuan can get the help of Duke Xuande. It is really the blessing of my Lord, the blessing of our army, and the blessing of Huainan."

"The general is too rewarded, but he really dare not take it." Uncle Liu was humble and thought to himself, "If the little thief Tao Ying returned to the battlefield of Quyang in time, Yinling and Shouchun, where should I run? If I go to Yinling, I hope to take charge of Yinling City directly. Returning to Shouchun can get Yuan Shu's troops and food supplements, each with his own strengths, and it is really hard to choose..."

"No. You can't go to Yinling! After the little thief Tao Ying returned to Quyang, Yinling was an isolated city. If I arrived in Yinling, although I had hope to take charge of a city, once Tao Ying attacked Yinling first and then Shouchun, Yuan Shu would never send a soldier to save me! He could only go back to Shouchun and retrieve some troops and food supplies from Yuan Shu. Then he could act according to the opportunity. If Shouchun could defend, he would defend. If he couldn't defend, he would take Yuan Shu on the Anfeng road to retreat to Lujiang County. While retreating to the hinterland of Huainan, he slowly swallowed Yuan Shu's team and territory......"

…………………………

"In order to make Yuan Shu trust him more, the big-eared thief also gave him more money, grain support and territory to gain a foothold. Even if he piled up corpses, he would definitely pile up corpse mountains under Quyang City that could go to the city?"

At the same time, outside Hefei City, in the main military camp in Xuzhou, after listening to Tao Ying's evaluation of Daren and Dayi, Liu Huangshu. Chen Ying, who was far less scheming than his father and brother, was inevitably confused and couldn't help but ask again: "Lord, please forgive me for being rude. Is the lord's analysis of the war in Quyang too exaggerated? The big-eared thief has always been treacherous, so how can he be willing to squander the army so much? He is not afraid of the army being over. Yuan Shu's husband ignores him even more?"

"Nothing exaggerated at all." Tao Ying shook his head and said with a sneer: "If you want to take it, you must give it first. This big-eared thief will play better than anyone else, and you will have experience in it. In the Jieqiao Battle, when the Big-eared thief was reluctant to sacrifice his life to rescue Gongsun Zan. How could Gongsun Zan let him be a fugitive in the court as the prime minister of Pingyuan, and give him three hundred elite cavalry and more than one thousand infantry to make a profit? Later in the Xuzhou Battle, if the Big-eared thief was not the first to break through Cao thief to attack and reinforce Pengcheng, how could my father give him so many troops, food and supplies? If the Big-eared thief did not kill Guan Hai to save Beihai, how could Kong Rong take in Xuzhou at the risk of committing crimes and paying food to make him make a comeback in Beihai?"

Speaking of this, Tao Ying, who had a dry mouth, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and added: "This time, it's the same. I can be sure that even if the Big Ear Thief knows that there is little hope to capture Quyang, he will attack Quyang at any cost and let Yuan Shu see his useful value. In order to use the Big Ear Thief to resist our army, Yuan Shu will hand over more money and grain troops to the Big Ear Thief. Like in Xuzhou, he will use Yuan Shu's trust and dependence on him, while bribing the hearts of the army and people in Huainan, and gradually annexing Yuan Shu's team and territory!"

Chen Ying nodded with a slight understanding. After a moment of calculation, Chen Ying smiled and said, "But the big-eared thief may not have many opportunities this time. Although our main force in the army has failed to take Hefei City, it has also severely damaged Yuan Shu's Lujiang reinforcements. It is difficult for Lujiang and Liyang to send reinforcements again in a short period of time. Our main force has no worries and can quickly return to Quyang and fight the big-eared thief to the death!"

"Yuan Fang (not funny, it is indeed Chen Ying's name), it seems that you have really learned power from your brother Yuan Long and his father Hanyu Public School." Tao Ying shook his head again and said with a wry smile: "The purpose of the Da Er Thief came to Huainan is to take advantage of the situation. How could he take all his capital to take advantage of all his capital? I can be sure that after receiving the news that the main force of our army returned to the army, the Da Er Thief symbolically resisted, and even had no symbolic resistance. On the excuse that the army suffered heavy casualties under Quyang City, he retreated directly to Shouchun or Yinling, and then took advantage of our army's threat to Yuan Shu to take advantage of the troubled waters. Therefore, our main force returned to Quyang and could not catch the opportunity to fight the Da Er Thief."

After saying this, Tao Ying frowned again and thought: "I'm afraid the Big Ear Thieves will not retreat to Yinling. Yuan Shu's southern reinforcements will not be able to come again for the time being. As long as Zijing and others can insist that our army's main force returns to Quyang, Yinling will become an isolated city. If the Big Ear Thieves go to Yinling, our army will first attack Yinling. With Yuan Shu's selfish character, it is absolutely impossible to send reinforcements to the Big Ear Thieves. With the Big Ear Thieves' treacherous and slick, it is impossible to see this. Shouchun! Only when the Big Ear Thieves retreat to Shouchun, can they not worry about being abandoned by Yuan Shu, and they can get more opportunities to fish in the water."

After listening to Tao Ying's reasonable detailed analysis, Chen Ying nodded silently and said, "If it is as expected by the lord, it seems that the battle between Shouchun is still difficult to fight after the main force of our army returns. The big-eared thief is familiar with the combat characteristics of our army, and he is also under his command, two peerless generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In addition, Yuan Shu's money and grain army and Shouchun's city and territory are well-known, it is not easy for our army to break Shouchun."

"Whether the battle of Shouchun is difficult or not is a small question." Tao Ying pinched his chin and pondered: "What I am more worried about is that if Yuan Shu gave up Shouchun and took the big-eared thief to the hinterland of Lujiang with the big-eared thief on the road of Anfeng, the consequences would be even more serious. With the ability of the big-eared thief, he would naturally enter the hinterland of Lujiang with the army. Wouldn't it be like birds entering the blue sky and fish entering the sea? If the big-eared thief crosses the Yangtze River again..."

After pondering here, imagining the dangerous consequences after Uncle Liu crossed the river, Tao Ying subconsciously made a chill - Tao Ying didn't want to kill Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and indirectly cultivated Uncle Liu in Jiangdong!

At this time, Chen Ying spoke and said with great distress: "If there is any way to let the Big Ear Thieves stay in Quyang and fight us in a decisive battle, or let the Big Ear Thieves lead their troops south and take the initiative to fight the main force of our army, that would be even better."

"How can something so smooth in things?" Tao Ying looked down on Chen Ying's innocence and sneered: "The big-eared thief is not an idiot, how could he be such a stupid person..., Huh?"

Speaking of this, Tao Ying suddenly stopped again, and the eyes in Triangle's eyes also turned violently. It was the first time that Chen Ying was Tao Ying's commander Bo went to war with the army. He didn't know much about Tao Ying's character and habits. He also said Tao Ying was angry with his stupid words and apologized: "The lord blamed him, he was talking stupid words, and the big-eared thief is..."

"Don't talk!" Deputy Director Tao waved his hand and interrupted Chen Ying's apology. The eyes in Triangle's eyes turned even more violently. After turning twenty or thirty turns, Deputy Director Tao suddenly waved his hand again and said excitedly: "Why am I so stubborn? Big ear thief cannot be stupid, but Yuan Shu will be stupid! Moreover, he uses Big ear thief to do stupid things, Yuan Shu will not worry about the consequences!"

"Master, why don't you understand what you are saying?" Chen Ying asked carefully.

"You will understand soon." Deputy Director Tao smiled happily and said, "I remember Hou Cheng sent someone to report to me that he had captured Liu Xun's eldest son Liu Wei on the battlefield, and sent an order to escort Liu Wei immediately. Yuan Fang, cooperate with me to act in a play, so that Yuan Shu can force the big-eared thief to fight our main force!"
