Chapter 116

The fifth day of the fifth month, Dragon Boat Festival.

Liu Xie did not have the mood to celebrate the festival at all, and he couldn't even sleep well.

Li Jue and Guo Si's rebels launched sneak attacks every night. Although they never succeeded, they made everyone frightened and unable to sleep.

Liu Xie even dreamed in the middle of the night that he fell into the claws of Li and Guo again, and then looked at the rotten cow bones coiled around the mosquitoes and flies and shed tears in pain.

The same was true for the night. He and Yi were lying on the bed, with the Queen Fushou on the left and the noble Dong Ji on the right.

Strictly speaking, such a sleeping posture is definitely not harmonious with courtesy, and sleeping with three people means that the emperor is extremely desolate.

But at this time no one would blame Liu Xie. Due to the limited accommodation conditions, it is not easy for officials and officials to have houses to shelter from the wind and rain, and more soldiers can only sleep outside the camp.

Liu Xie did not play any tricks with his harem. The three of them just hugged each other silently, adding a little insignificant warmth and sense of security to each other.

It was already dark, and Liu Xie finally spoke:

"Tonight... Why haven't the rebels launched an attack yet?"

Fu Shou and Dong Ji also supported their ears and listened to the sounds outside the house, but until the morning light suddenly shone, Li Guo's troops did not move.

The same goes for the second day and the third night.

On the contrary, during the fourth day, Li Guo mobilized more than 10,000 archers and continued to shoot archers intensively at the imperial troops, causing more than a thousand casualties.

Their volley was so fierce that even Jia Xu mistakenly thought that when the rain of arrows passed, Li Jue and Guo Si would immediately launch a general attack.

But Liu Xie and others nervously held the shield to defend for a long time, but did not wait for the expected fierce attack. When they breathed a sigh of relief and threw down their shields to prepare for cooking, the second wave of arrow rain suddenly came!

The officers and soldiers who were completely disrupted of the rhythm left behind the large pieces of corpses again!

"Peng Xiaozhen is a genius!"

Looking at the government army hiding in panic, Li Jue happily patted his belly:

"Just today, two rounds of volley shots were shot and killed more than 2,000 people in the court!"

Guo Jia held the air with a reserved look on his face:

"If Guo hadn't used troops like a god, how could Chen Yunlong be in the three states of the Central Plains with a mere county magistrate?"

Guo Si next to him looked at Guo Jia, his eyes flashing.

He couldn't help but feel a little jealous and resentful in his heart:

[Why can Li Jue, the turtle, grab such a military genius?!]

[Li Jue is assisted by Guo Fengxiao and his strength will definitely be stronger than me, and he will be ridden on his head to act as a mighty person in the future!]

[My surname is Guo, and I was originally a family eight hundred years ago. Why can't he use it for me?]

Guo Jia seemed to feel Guo Si's gaze, glanced at him slightly, raised the corners of his lips, but he still said to Li Jue:

"When tonight, it will be the time when the two generals are accomplished!"

-

That night, the court army, who had been frightened for a whole day, fell asleep early, leaving only a small number of soldiers to guard.

Although many officials knew that this would be dangerous, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, who were in charge of the army, could not ignore the morale of the army:

"If we keep going like this, even if Li Jue and Guo Si don't launch an offensive, we will be exhausted!"

"Instead of the morale of the army, it's better to sleep well for a night and fight the rebels to the death tomorrow!"

But most of them cannot see the sun tomorrow.

When Xinfeng Camp fell into silence, Li Jue and Guo Si finally launched a night attack three days later!

The Han army, whose body and spirit were on the verge of double collapse, had almost no resistance and was attacked by the traitors!

With two dark circles in his eyes, Liu Xie, under Dong Cheng's escort, only brought hundreds of imperial guards and fled eastward in a panic!

Go east, go find Duan Wei and Zhang Ji!

-

"Hahahaha, if I hadn't offered my advice to me, how could I have achieved great victory today?"

After chasing for more than half a night, Li Jue raised his wine glass and laughed.

The freshest results have been released. They completely defeated the emperor's guard army and killed more than 10,000 enemy troops with only the price of hundreds of casualties!

In addition to the core figures such as Liu Xie, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Yang Biao, Chen Ji, and Jia Xu, who escaped in time, Li Jue and Guo Si also captured hundreds of court officials!

Guo Jia shook his head regretfully:

"It's a pity that the Emperor of Han was not captured, and this battle was not perfect after all."

"The requirements for Fengxiao are too harsh!"

Guo Si threw away the heads of the two rebel generals who had just been cut off, and looked happy:

"When we catch up with the Emperor of Han, we will definitely be awarded the title of marquis for you!"

Of course he was happy. He did not win too much in this battle, but he recruited thousands of his own plots, and even forced Yang Ding to surrender two thousand troops, strengthening his strength again. Even if he started a war with Li Jue again, he would have the power of a battle and would not be defeated in full swing.

Of course, Guo Si did not forget that it was the young man with the same surname in front of him who secretly taught him a few hours ago. Otherwise, with his own nature, he would definitely kill all the captured enemies like Li Jue!

Cultural people...just different!

-

When Li Jue and Guo Si won a great victory in Xinfeng, a war was about to begin in Huainan thousands of miles away.

Before he had completed the military assembly, Zhu Yan only used 6,000 troops from his headquarters to capture Xiacai City, located north of the Huai River, as a bridgehead for formally attacking Huainan.

Li Tong, Chu Tong, Liu Pi, Huang Shao and others who came from the northwest entered the Huai River along the Ru River and occupied the three counties along the coast, Liao County, Yangquan and Anfeng.

Xu Chu and Chen Jian, who came from the northeast, conquered Yicheng, which was closest to the border of Pei State, and Dangtu.

Ping'a, who was between Zhu Ye and Xu Chu, immediately felt a huge threat and chose to surrender without any hesitation!

The reason why Ping'a chose to surrender was very simple: because they were north of the Huai River, and Yuan Shu was dispensable, and even if they chose to fight against the enemy, there was no possibility of victory.

In just five days, Yuan Shu lost seven cities near the border!

His tens of thousands of troops had just crossed the Yangtze River south and entered the territory of Yuzhang County. They were eight hundred miles away and could not be transferred back in a hurry!

He could only order his help to Wu Jing, the prefect of Guangling, Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang, and Sun Ce, who was appointed by him.

Yuan Yin is a relative of the Yuan family, so he will naturally send troops to rescue him. As for Sun Ce and his uncle Wu Jing, even if they can come, it will be useless!

On May 16th, the third day after Yuan Shu's request for help was issued, Zhu Ye led nearly 40,000 troops to surround Shouchun City!

"General Zhu, the Cavalry!"

"Li", "Liu", "Huang", "Xu", "Xu", "Zhu", "Chen", "Geng"...

Looking at the densely packed enemy flags around, Yuan Shu, who was standing on the top of the city, suddenly felt a little regretful:

"Why should I set up my base... in Shouchun, which is so close to the Huaihe River!"
Chapter completed!
