The Jiangdong Army lost more than [-] men, and its morale plummeted.

Generally speaking, the Jiangdong Army is in a miserable state.

The scouts came to report again, saying that there was a change in the Qin army's camp, and the previous flaws were no longer there.

Only then did Sun Quan understand that from the very beginning, he had fallen into the trap carefully designed by Zhang Liao.

Not only did he not see it, but Lu Su also didn't see it.

But it's useless to say anything now.

The morale of the Jiangdong army was low, and Sun Quan did not dare to lead the army to attack the Qin army's camp, so he could only stand still and strengthen the defense of the camp.

Soon, two days passed.

In the evening, Zhang Liao had just soaked his feet and was about to go to bed, but he heard a report from his personal guards, saying that he had arrested a Jiangdong army spy and wanted to see Zhang Liao on important military matters.

Zhang Liao immediately ordered his personal guards to bring the detailed work of the Jiangdong Army into the big tent.

After the visitor entered the big tent, he immediately saluted Zhang Liao: "The last general, Li Wu, has met General Zhang."

Li Wu?

Zhang Liao frowned, and asked, "Li Wu, who ordered you to come here, and what do you want to see me for?"

"General Zhang, the last general is one of the personal guards under General Tai Shici's command."

One of Tai Shici's personal guards?

Zhang Liao couldn't help wondering.

Tai Shici is a heavyweight general of the Jiangdong Army, and he has a very deep friendship with Sun Ce. Why did he suddenly send his personal guards here?

Suddenly, Zhang Liao remembered something.

Yingwu once sent people to spread the news everywhere in Jiangdong, saying that Sun Ce was killed by Sun Quan.

And Sun Quan couldn't find a reason why he didn't kill Sun Ce, so he would definitely be suspected by Tai Shici.

However, after all, Jiangdong was conquered by Sun Ce alone. Even if Tai Shici could believe that Sun Quan had killed Sun Ce, he would not join the Qin army and ruin Jiangdong's foundation.

So Zhang Liao remained calm and asked calmly, "General Taishi sent you here, what advice do you have?"

Li Wu hurriedly said: "General Zhang misunderstood, the last general was not ordered by General Taishi, but by General Zhou Xiong."

"General Zhou Xiong is the deputy general of General Taishi. He once served under the command of Lord Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou."

Not Tai Shici?

Is it Zhou Xiong?

"Zhou Xiong sent you here, why?"

Li Wu sighed slightly: "General Zhang used [-] cavalry to attack our camp and almost captured our Lord Sun Quan alive."

"At the critical moment, General Taishi arrived in time, and he saved my lord."

"However, my lord suspected that General Taishi had an affair with General Zhang, so he abruptly captured General Taishi and locked him up."

Then, Li Wu explained the situation to Zhang Liao in detail.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but move.

Unexpectedly, before this battle, Tai Shici and Sun Quan had conflicts.

Zhang Liao still has a very steady personality, so he naturally wouldn't believe Li Wu's words right away. Perhaps this was Sun Quan and Lu Su's plan.

"What Zhou Xiong intends to do?"

Li Wu immediately replied: "General Zhou's intention is that around midnight tomorrow night, he will lead General Taishi's troops to burn the grain and grass in the camp of the Jiangdong Army."

"Then, take advantage of the chaos to rescue General Taishi."

"As long as the food and grass of the Jiangdong Army are burned, even if General Taishi does not want to surrender to General Zhang, he will have nowhere to go."

This is a good strategy.

Zhang Liao thought about it carefully, then nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, you go back to the Jiangdong Army camp and tell General Zhou Xiong that I will wait for the Jiangdong Army camp at midnight tomorrow."

Li Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you General Zhang, the last general will go back and report."

After Li Wu left, the lieutenant asked Zhang Liao, "General, is there any fraud?"

Zhang Liao smiled slightly, stroked his beard under his chin, and shook his head slightly: "The possibility of fraud is almost zero."

"Tai Shici has always doubted Sun Quan, so he must be disliked by Sun Quan."

"Jiangdong generals are gathered, there are many Taishi Cis who are missing, and there are not many Taishi Cis who are more."

"Since Tai Shici cannot be used by Sun Quan, it is understandable for Sun Quan to take this opportunity to get rid of him."

"Furthermore, even if Sun Quan wanted to lure our army into being fooled, he wouldn't burn the food and grass at night."

"So, I'm basically sure that Zhou Xiong really wanted to use this trick to save Tai Shici, and it was his only way to force Tai Shici to join our army."

The lieutenant nodded: "The general is wise."

Zhang Liao smiled faintly: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

"I will retire at the end."

Silent all night.

The next day, there was still no fighting.

At night, Sun Quan still followed the previous method.

First, strengthen the defensive strength of the four gates of the camp.

Second, send out a large number of scouts to investigate the movements of the Qin army.

Soon, the time will come.

Zhou Xiong and others started to act.

Everyone has a can of fire oil, a bow and a pot of arrows on their body.

Under the leadership of Zhou Xiong, one hundred personal guards of Tai Shici kept dodging in the camp.

They couldn't understand Jiangdong Army's deployment very well, so they easily avoided all the soldiers' guards and quickly advanced to the food and grass area.

Pour oil on the fire, then ignite the rocket, and shoot indiscriminately.

Soon, all the grain and grass of the Jiangdong Army were ignited, the fire was soaring into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.

immediately.The Jiangdong Army was in chaos.

Huang Gai was originally responsible for guarding the grain and grass.

But Huang Gai was injured and was sent back to Jiangdong. Sun Quan was temporarily handed over to a lieutenant named Qiu Rui.

When Qiu Rui saw the grain and grass on fire, his face turned pale with fright. This is a capital offense.

"Hurry up... put out the fire." Qiu Rui shouted hastily, his voice distorted.

The grain and grass ignited by kerosene was so powerful that even the fire trucks of later generations would find it difficult to extinguish it, let alone fetch water in pots.

After finishing it, Zhou Xiong and others took advantage of the chaos and quickly returned to the place where Tai Shici was imprisoned, killed the guard at the door, and rushed in.

Tai Shici also heard the commotion outside, and seeing Zhou Xiong leading his men in, he couldn't help being surprised: "Ziying, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Xiong smiled, strode to Tai Shici's side, and cut off the rope on his body.

"General, the last general decides on his own, and has already contacted Zhang Liao to defeat Sun Quan."

"Ah..." Tai Shici couldn't help being taken aback, "You...you burned the Jiangdong Army's food and grass?"

Zhou Xiong nodded: "General, Sun Quan is not benevolent, why should we be righteous to him?"

"Then Qin Wu is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and the power to rule the world has been achieved. The general can lead us to rely on him, and we can also make great achievements in the future. We will live up to this seven-foot body and learn all we have learned."

Tai Shici remained silent, hesitating in his heart.

After a long time, Taishi Ci let out a long sigh: "That's all, that's all."

"There is no turning back when you open the bow. Now that the matter has been done, we can only rely on the Qin army."

"It's just that, after all, we have received great kindness from the lord. We must not kill the brothers of the Jiangdong Army, and just leave the Jiangdong Army's camp directly."

Zhou Xiong was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said: "The general will follow orders."

Chapter 186 Doesn't Mean The Battle Of Hefei Is Over

Ten miles from Daying in Jiangdong.

Zhang Liao stood on the horse, looking at the situation in Jiangdong Daying.

Zhang Liao's heart tightened suddenly when the Jiangdong campfire started.

Whether it's true or not, you'll know soon.

After watching carefully for a while, Zhang Liao finally confirmed that it was indeed the food and grass in Jiangdong Daying that had been burned.

"Brothers, it's time to make meritorious deeds again." Zhang Liao raised his spear high and roared, "Follow me, fight tonight, and the Jiangdong Army will definitely be defeated."

"Chong..." Eight hundred athletes shouted in unison, followed behind Zhang Liao, and rushed towards the Jiangdong camp together.

Yes, still 800 people.

After successfully rushing to the camp that time, Zhang Liao selected more than 20 people from the army, and continued to make up the number of [-].

Tonight, Zhang Liao is going to lead another [-] cavalry to charge the Jiangdong army again.

Tonight's situation was smoother than that morning's.

Because the food and grass of the Jiangdong Army caught fire, the entire Jiangdong camp was in chaos.

Zhang Liao and others rushed into the Jiangdong camp without any trouble, killing anyone they saw.

"Zhang Liao is here again." The Jiangdong army rushed to run, and this sentence was the most uttered in their mouths.

The name of Zhang Liao has already cast a boundless shadow on almost all Jiangdong Army.

When it comes to Zhang Liao, there is almost no one in the Jiangdong Army who is not afraid.

If there is anyone who is not afraid, it is naturally Tai Shici, but Tai Shici was forced by Sun Quan to surrender to the Qin army.

Therefore, tonight, Zhang Liao and others rushed to the camp, it couldn't have been smoother, and they hardly encountered any resistance.

Including Zhou Tai.

After learning that Zhang Liao led his army to the camp again, Zhou Tai's first reaction was not to fight Zhang Liao, but to protect Sun Quan's safety.

As for the task of intercepting Zhang Liao, Sun Quan handed it over to Cheng Pu and Jiang Qin.

It's a pity that Jiang Qin's martial arts were far worse than Zhang Liao's. He also made the mistake of not daring to exchange his life for Zhang Liao's injury, and was successfully beheaded by Zhang Liao.

Cheng Pu's martial arts is still good, but after a dozen rounds of fighting with Zhang Liao, he was stabbed in the right thigh by Zhang Liao with high morale, and was picked off his horse.

Thanks to the desperate rescue of Cheng Pu's personal guards, Cheng Pu was not shot a second time by Zhang Liao.

After killing Jiang Qin and wounding Cheng Pu, Zhang Liao and his 800 men were invincible in the Jiangdong Army camp.

For a while, the Jiangdong army was crying for their father and mother, in a panic.

At the same time, the fire of food and grass became more and more intense, directly destroying the morale of the Jiangdong Army.

Sun Quan was startled and angry, but he had to admit that he was completely defeated this time when he sent troops, and the defeat was very miserable.

Under Zhou Tai's protection, Sun Quan had no choice but to retreat south, preparing to return to Jiangdong.

When Sun Quan withdrew, the morale of the Jiangdong army was completely lost, and they followed Sun Quan to flee south.

Those who could not escape were either killed or surrendered.

Many more died in the flames, or were trampled to death.

However, what Sun Quan never expected was that ten thousand Qin troops were waiting for them ten miles from the south gate of the Jiangdong Army camp.

Zhang Liao led [-] cavalry to attack the camp again, and at the same time sent out [-] soldiers and horses to cut off the Jiangdong army's retreat. This was Zhang Liao's strategy.

It's a pity that Zhang Liao's lieutenant general was in command of the ten thousand troops, and his martial arts were far inferior to Zhou Tai's.

In the end, Zhou Tai protected Sun Quan and escaped.

But the rest of the Jiangdong army could not escape, or were killed, or surrendered.
