Er Tao Qian is like a carrot, always whetting our appetite. If we chase to Qu County, the battle line will be stretched again. If Tao Qian runs to Guangling again, we can’t always chase after him. There will be more and more weaknesses. Once Wang Xiu launches a counterattack and a fierce attack, we may be disconnected. "

"Yaoqing, what do you mean to stop pursuing?" Yuan Shu asked uncertainly.

Yuan Huan said: "That's right, we can't chase anymore, even Dan County can be abandoned. We should retreat. If we can't get in touch with Cao Jun and establish a position on the same front, then we must retreat and defend."

Now looking at the two snakes marked on the map, Yuan Huan seemed to think of what Wang Xiu wanted to do.

What is really important in Xuzhou is Tao Qian. As long as Tao Qian is not ambushed, as long as he does not die, Xuzhou will not be scattered.

Dan County is not very useful, and it can't do much with it.

That's why Yuan Huan realized that Pengcheng and Xiapi were still existences that he couldn't get around and had to fight after watching all of Wang Xiu's arrangements.

These two places are the eyes of the two snakes.

If they can't hit here, Wang Xiu's two little snakes can still twist and change.

If he can't win these two things, he won't be able to defend the whole of Xuzhou, and it's useless.

So the problem goes back to the very beginning.

Things are back to square one.

"Then let's wait and see if Cao Cao's people will go south to contact us. If they can contact us, it will be of great benefit to taking down Xuzhou." After finally taking Dan County, Yuan Shu didn't want it to be so easy give up.

So he asked Ji Ling to stay in Dan County for a few more days, and sent someone to go north to Kaiyang to get in touch with Tiger and Leopard Riders.

It's just that their people didn't get in touch with the Hubaoqi, and soon found out that the Hubaoqi was defeated by Ma Teng and Xi Zhicai and suffered heavy losses, and then withdrew from Xuzhou.

"Withdraw! Immediately withdraw from Dan County and Wuyuan City! Withdraw to Lu County!" Ji Ling led an army of tens of thousands to the south after hearing Xi Zhi, and killed Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry. He had no intention of staying in Dan County at all. , led the people back to Wuyuan City overnight.

And soon withdrew from Wuyuan City to Yuan Shu in Lu County.

Before Xi Zhicai went south, a large number of reinforcements from Qingzhou came, and if he didn't leave, he would be surrounded by Danxian.

So Ji Ling was quite nervous.

Even Yuan Huan once thought it was Wang Xiu's conspiracy, but soon they received news that Xi Caizhi had diverted to the south of Mount Tai to quell the chaos, and hadn't gone south at all.

And Tao Qian also stayed in Qu County and did not fight back.

Everything became confusing again.

"What's wrong? What else have I overlooked?" Yuan Huan walked back and forth, constantly deliberating, suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, as if thinking of something, he walked to the desk in two steps, with his hands resting on the map In the middle of the cloth, his eyes were fixed on the downstream of the Sui River, Qulu City on the right side of Ziqiu.

"Zhuyi! It's still Zhuyi. Wang Xiu still wants to attack Zhuyi. He still wants to cut off our army's middle route. He wants to cut off our connection with Yuzhou. His navy will march west from Sui River. acted

It's a good plan, throwing out the meat of Danxian County, let the old man Tao Qian come to draw hatred and firmly attract us, but in the end he still wants to outflank and block our army's rear, and his appetite is not small. "At this moment, Yuan Huan finally fully understood Wang Xiu's intention, and knew what he wanted to do.

"Wang Shuzhi still wants to eat them. He really dares to think about it. He wants to eat my 15 army with only tens of thousands of troops. He has not woken up from the dream." Yuan Shu laughed disdainfully.

Yuan Huan said: "My lord, the people of Marquis of Weihai have always been very courageous. There is nothing they dare not think of. Marquis of Weihai himself is not afraid of anything. He does everything differently, which is contrary to our aristocratic family. Subordinates think so too.

If he plans to use up the navy, storm Zhuyi and block Sui River, we are really in danger, so please retreat to Ziqiu immediately, and be sure to urge the defenders of Zhuyi not to lose this place. "

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will retreat to the west, but I will retreat directly to Zhuyi. With me here, who dares not to do my best."

"Alright, my lord's safety comes first. With my lord supervising Zhanzhuyi, Sui Shui will not be controlled by the Donglai navy." Yuan Huan thought about it and agreed with Yuan Shu's idea, and continued:

"In this way, I can storm Xiapi with General Ji Ling, and also give Wang Xiu a surprise!"

Yuan Shu said: "You have thought of a way to attack Xiapi!"

"Yes, my lord, but this method is a bit hurtful, but if it succeeds, it can shatter Wang Xiu's plan, disrupt his deployment, and even create a chance to defeat and eliminate him." Yuan Huan's face showed A look of affirmation, but also a touch of unbearable, because his plan to break the city will really cause large-scale casualties, and there is no difference.

But Yuan Shu didn't care about these things and just said: "As long as we can break Xiapi, it doesn't matter whether he hurts Tianhe or not, I think we are better than Cao Cao no matter how hard we are!"

Cao Cao really robbed and killed tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou, and the whole Surabaya did not flow.

There are also digging people's graves and digging up treasures.

Although Cao Cao said that he did not do this, but it happened when he attacked Xuzhou, and it is not wrong to blame him.

He didn't massacre people randomly, and he didn't dig graves, which was much more kind than Cao Cao.

Yuan Huan wanted to explain something and finally swallowed it back, but he still didn't tell Yuan Shu how to break the city.

Because he was afraid that Yuan Shu would not be able to use it, because Yuan Shu didn't care about anything else, but he cared about face.

Yuan Shu left, and soon Yuan Huan received the news that Jiang Qin had entered Suishui to attack Qulucheng.

Sure enough, it was still a step too late, and Lucheng still fell.

However, because he guessed Wang Xiu's intention earlier, Zhuyi City was guarded tightly, Li Jin failed to make another jump attack, and retreated to Wu County after the sneak attack failed.

Of course, Yuan Jun didn't dare to attack Wu County this time. They dared Li Jin to play tricks again, lure them to attack again, and then staged another siege.

The left line is safe and sound.

When Yuan Shu retreated to Zhuyi, the rear was stable.

Yuan Huan led the army to let Ji Ling go straight to Xiapi, and built a dam on the Sishui River overnight to intercept the water.

Xiapi City is located on the north side of the Sishui River and on the east side of the Yishui River, which belongs to the junction of the two rivers.

Originally, the two rivers were the natural line of defense for Xiapi City, but now they have become Yuan Huan's sharp weapon for attacking the city.

When he got up the next day, a sergeant reported the news to Li Gan. Li Gan frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Go and ask Mr. Xue to come over."

Soon Xue Zong came, and after listening to the sergeant's report, Xue Zong pondered for a moment and said, "I guess Yuan Huan has two intentions.

One is to block the support of our army's navy in the north and south, and the other is that he wants to burst the embankment and flood the downhill. "

"Why does he want to break the embankment, how dare they?" Li Gan was shocked when he heard the words, and he couldn't believe it.

Breaking the embankment and dumping the water of the two rivers, if this is really done, the area around Xiashan City will be destroyed.

This is too disastrous, and they don't care about the life and death of the people at all, and they do everything they can.

Xue Zong shook his head and said: "We are fighting now, and the soldiers are deceitful. Only the victory and the defeat are based on morality, and I guess Yuan Huan's real intention of flooding downhill is to prevent our army from reinforcements. At the same time, according to the current water level conditions, The water will not be able to rush down Picheng at all, it will only be soaked by the water for a while, and then make the city walls soft, and then it will be much easier to attack the city."

Hearing that the water would not overwhelm Xiapi City, Li Gan felt relieved.

Are there still many people in the city?

If the city collapses and is swept by the water, 90.00% of them will drown after five days.

"Come here, order the people to reinforce the corners of the houses of each family, put all the food and clothing in a high place where it will not be flooded, and seal the city gate for me, so as not to let water seep in." Li Qiankun ordered The underling said.
