On the fifth day of the 12th month, I led Guan Ping, Lu Meng and others to Yandu County to meet with my second brother who was temporarily stationed here.

The rebellion in Guangling was completely quelled yesterday. With the main force of the rebel army being annihilated and the capture of the rebel leader Liang Jing, the other officials and noble families of Guangling counties who were following Liang Jing's rebellion also wisely chose to surrender under Chen Su's ultimatum.

Since Guangling's new brother was under his command, it was quite unfavorable to the people in Anding County's governance, I tend to punish those involved in the rebels. More than ten rebel chiefs, mainly Liang Jing, were executed after announcing the whole county yesterday.

(As the right general with the right authority to have false qualities, I can kill generals and officials less than 2,000 stones during the war. Liang Jing, the governor of Guangling County, had a salary of less than 1,000 stones.

) Killing these evil people is mainly to kill chickens and scare monkeys, and to warn other guys who still have bad intentions.

The rest of the officials involved in the rebellion will be punished with demotion and dismissal.

The wealthy families of Guangling will be treated differently according to their performance in this rebellion. Those who refuse to participate in the rebellion will be given heavy rewards and select talents from their clans to serve in the county to make up for the vacancies caused by the punishment of officials involved in the rebellion; those wealthy families who participate in the rebellion will be punished with gold, silk and land.

Moreover, the punishment of these gold, silk and fields is used to reward those rich families who did not participate in the rebellion.

I took this series of measures to reward merit and punish crimes, but also had a heart to let the wealthy families in Guangling County restrain each other.

In the name of reward and punishment, I transfer the interests of some noble families to another noble family, which will inevitably lead to an opposition in interests between them. This controllable opposition will be very beneficial to my elder brother's rule in Guangling.

After I rushed to Yandu, Guangling's military affairs were still handed over to Chen Su and Hao Zhao. In this sudden rebellion, Hao Zhao showed calmness and showed extremely excellent ability to stand alone. It is worthy of entrusting with important responsibilities.

.

Although our army successfully restrained Cao Cao's large amount of military strength during this January battle in Xuzhou, our casualties and losses were also quite large.

There were more than 15,000 soldiers killed in battle and seriously injured and disabled, and there were many minor injuries. Fortunately, the Guangling Army, which was incorporated, was able to make up for the losses to a large extent.

For Yuan Tan, our army was so kind and righteous. Cao Cao's military strength was largely restrained by our army, and Youzhou has entered the coldest season at present.

Favorable defense but not good at attack. Under such favorable conditions, if Yuan Tan still cannot resist Cao Cao's attack, it can only be said that it is "the destruction of Yuan clan in heaven"!

After meeting with my second brother, I informed each other of the situation. I specifically mentioned that Cao Cao's envoy went south through Guangling.

Zhuge Liang also attached great importance to this matter. After careful consideration, he believed that Cao Cao was most likely preparing to incite Jiaozhou Mu Shixie to get into evil with our army. When our army was restrained in Jiangbei.

The troops in Jiangdong are in an unprecedentedly weak state. If Shi Xie suddenly attacks, it will be quite harmful.

But compared to Shi Xie's possible attack, Yu Jin poses a greater threat to Shouchun and Lujiang, and he must be eliminated in the shortest time. At present, Wei Yan and Lu Xun have joined forces to clear Yu Jin. But the situation of the battle is still unknown.

In the early morning of the sixth day of the 12th month, my second brother led the Wudang Feijun and the Langya Camp to Shouchun first, preparing to preside over the overall situation of clearing out Yu Jin. I led the army and followed.

In order to prevent the reoccupy of Huaiyin, Cao's army crossed the river and attacked Guangling, Ganning still led the navy to patrol the Huai River in Huaiyin and Xuyi.

…………………………………………………

Yu Jin's army quietly stationed in Huoshan.

Huoshan. It is located at the junction of the three counties of Lujiang, Shouchun and Zhangling, and is famous for its many bamboos. Even in the middle of winter, the bamboo forest is still proud of the cold and evergreen.

Yu Jin sat under a thick bamboo, closed his eyes and took a nap. After many days of going deep into Huainan, Yu Jin often analyzed information all night long and thought about combat plans. Fortunately, he was strong, but ordinary people had already collapsed.

A Cao army commander rushed to Yu Jin. But when he saw that the tired Yu Jin was resting, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and was about to leave quietly.

"What's the matter?" Yu Jin slowly opened his eyes and asked softly.

"Master Prefect!" The captain immediately turned around and bowed, saying, "The scout just reported that Wei Yan's troops arrived less than 10 miles from our arms trap and suddenly stopped, and then turned east."

"Well..." Yu Jin nodded. His brows couldn't help but frowned deeply. After thinking about it, he said to the captain, "It is said that the captains of various departments are coming to discuss matters!"

"yes!"

.

A moment later, five lieutenants came to Yu Jin.

After telling the situation reported by the captain just now, Yu Jin said angrily and worriedly: "What do you think about this?"

After thinking for a while, one of them said, "Sir, I'm afraid our fire attack plan has been discovered by the enemy!"

Starting from yesterday evening, the wind direction suddenly changed - from northwest wind to a rare southwest wind.

Yu Jin soon realized that the change in the wind direction could become an excellent fighter, so he set up a fire attack strategy to lure Wei Yan into the fu.

Yu Jin naturally knew that the strategy had been discovered, but what he asked was not this: "From setting up traps to sending troops to lure the enemy, including hunting enemy scouts, I asked myself that there was no flaw left. How did Wei Yan see through the fire attack strategy?"

Five lieutenants looked at me, and I looked at you, but I couldn’t tell you what it was.

"Although Wei Yan has a good attitude toward military use, his personality is more urgent. After being provoked by me repeatedly, he should have lost his normal mind..." After many days of investigation, Yu Jin thought that he had already figured out Wei Yan's personality, "But it's very strange. Including this fire attack, Wei Yan actually saw through my plan twice in a row, as if he suddenly woke up!"

Yu Jin naturally didn't know that after Lu Xun's persuasion, Wei Yan's original aroused arousal had long calmed down. Under normal circumstances, Wei Yan and Yu Jin were in a chess match.

"By the way, what's going on with the enemy army on the other side?" He temporarily put Wei Yan's local affairs aside. Yu Jin asked about the movements of Lu Xun's army again.

"We are slowly advancing westward from Shu County!" Captain Yu Zhong replied.

"This guy named Lu Xundi is even more strange. He doesn't seem to care about our army at all!" Another captain Li Nan said, slapped his legs.

"I heard that Lu Xun is a scholar in his twenties. What kind of war does he know?" Zhang Jin, a rude-looking captain, said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate this person!" Yu Jin shook his head and said seriously, "It's no accident that Liu Bei can use him to lead his troops."

Spreading the map, Yu Jin gestured and said, "You see for yourself that although Lu Xun's march was slow, his troops were just about to fill in all the gaps left by Wei Yan.

We can't find a gap between Wei Yan and Lu Xun's armies that can circulate. In other words, we are being forced to leave Shouchun and Lujiang step by step by step."

Staring at the map and thinking about what Yu Jin said, the five lieutenants had to nod and admit the situation after a moment.

"Sir, the troops of the Jingzhou army and the rebel Li Tong (Li Tong turned to Liu Bei from Cao's side, and from the perspective of Cao's generals, they were naturally rebels) were also coming from the west.

Although Zhang Ling has a large territory, if we are oppressed on both sides, we may be in a bad situation!" Yu Zhong said with a graceful look.

"I don't know what's going on here?" Yu Jin sighed silently and said with a serious expression.

Now that the Huai River is blocked by the Jinfan Navy, what is even more excessive is that even the ships on both sides of the Huai River have been almost exhausted. Yu Jin can't send someone to cross the river to find out the situation now.

"The Prime Minister is very wise and will definitely defeat the enemy!" Zhang Jin was full of confidence in Cao Cao.

"Sir. What should I do next?" Yu Zhong asked a very realistic question. As the living space is gradually compressed, the situation of Yu Yinjun will become increasingly difficult.

Yu Jin stared at the map, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Seeking from danger. Let's take Lu Xun first.

"Precisely because the situation where Cao Cao was unclear, Yu Jin did not dare to give up the attack on Shouchun and Lujiang at will, for fear that it would affect Cao Cao's plan. Since he could not retreat, he could only attack.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Jin still believed that Lu Xun, a weak scholar, was easier to deal with than Wei Yan.

All the captains were excited and looked at Yu Jin.

"I want to divide the army into two——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Cross the Dragon Shu River, bypass Shu County, pass Qianshan (Today's Zhushan) and go straight to Lujiang City!" Yu Jin made a route on the map.

"Sir, are preparing to raid Lujiang City?" Li Nan said in surprise.

"Haha..." Yu Jin smiled slightly and said in a shocking way, "Even if you think this way, I must have deceived Lu Xun."

"Ah~?" Everyone was even more confused.

"I just want Lu Xun to think that I was going to attack Lujiang, but I thought he would not dare not save Liu Bei. As long as Lu Xun returned to Lujiang, I would shoot him with a fake shot and quickly turn toward him.

Attack his flank!" Yu Jin smiled coldly and said murderously, "It depends on whether he has the ability to restrain his troops at that time. If he doesn't have that ability, don't blame Yu for being rude!"

………………………………………….

Three hours later, Wei Yan led dozens of cavalry to the site where Yu Yinjun had previously set up a fire attack.

Looking at the devices preparing to attract fire everywhere, Wei Yan grinned and said, "Yu Jin, this bastard, really thinks that Old Wei is a fool!"

"Report to General Wei, Yu Yinjun seems to be marching west!" A cavalry scout rushed to Wei Yan and reported loudly.
Chapter completed!
