    "Bang" Bai Feng, the chief of the Huaipu City garrison, was pushed in, and was forced to kneel on the ground by two Yanzhou soldiers.

    Huaipu City was captured by Yanzhou Army Xu Qing's troops. None of the 6,000 defenders in the city escaped, and all were killed or captured.  The defender of Huaipu City was no exception.

    "Okay, how can you treat General Bai Feng like this? Untie it quickly and please sit down!" Xu Qing sat on the main seat where Wei Gang and Bai Feng had sat, and said with a smile.

    "Hmph" After being released, Bai Feng said angrily, "General Xu Qing, I really didn't expect that I would kindly let you enter the city to rest, but I didn't expect that a group of hungry wolves would come in. You and I are our own armies.  Allies, is it reasonable for you to do this now? Could it be that your commander has decided to go to war with our Xuzhou Army?"

    Xu Qing smiled and said softly: "Good intentions? General Bai Feng, are you really kind? Besides, you invited me to the city not because I came all the way, let alone what you said.  "Are you going south with me tomorrow?"

    "Good intentions? Then why did you arrange two thousand troops around my general's barracks from the beginning? Why did you arrange spies around my general's barracks to monitor me?"

    Bai Feng opened his mouth, his face looked ugly for a while, and then he said coldly: "Well, even so, this is not the reason for your attack. General Xu, you have to be responsible for your actions last night. When the two armies go to war, this is terrible  It's not something a general can afford. What's more, the east and north of Huaipu City are our Xuzhou territories, and we can summon tens of thousands of troops at any time. By then, General Xu will be waiting to pay the price for the soldiers who died in Huaipu City.  ¡±

    "Haha" Xu Qing laughed, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Bai Feng, don't think too highly of yourself. Now, you are a prisoner of our Yanzhou Army, not the defender of your Huaipu City.  . In addition, I can tell you that I can bear any responsibility for last night's actions. Now, I can say without any polite words that starting from last night, Huaipu City and the five surrounding counties will be affected.  It is the jurisdiction of our Yanzhou Army."

    "Youyou came here to attack Huaipu City on purpose? Do you really want to start a war with our Xuzhou Army at this time?" Bai Feng was shocked and said anxiously.  Although Bai Feng knew that Li Chi was also looking for ways to weaken the Yanzhou Army, he was only preparing to use the Qi Army's help rather than direct conflict.  But now that the Yanzhou Army was going to fight directly against Xuzhou, he was really startled.

    Xu Qing said solemnly: "Of course that's not the case! The actual situation is that Wei Gang, the lord of Huaipu City, learned that the Qi army in Quyang City wanted to escape, so he led the main force of the defenders in Huaipu City to seize the city. The defender of Huaipu City had already been captured  The Qi army bribed most of the defenders in the city and prepared to seize the city. At this time, our Yanzhou army arrived and was asked for help by the defender's deputy general Bai Feng. Therefore, our Yanzhou army rushed into Huaipu City to annihilate the rebels.  "

    "Nonsense! Don't let me, the general, create lies for you." Bai Feng's face was ashen, and his whole body trembled at Xu Qing's words.

    Xu Qing said lightly: "Really? If General Bai Feng is not willing to be used by us, then the rebel general who was bribed by Qi King Murong Cheng, betrayed Xuzhou and was wiped out, will be you Bai Feng. As for surrendering the soldiers in the city,  There are many who surrender with you, and they will become traitors of the Xuzhou Army with you. "

    "When the time comes, you will be remembered as rebels. Your family members will all become criminals. Bai Feng, do you want these soldiers to die with you? Do you want your soldiers to die with you? Besides,  , whether you die or not is meaningless to Li Chi. Even if you die here, Li Chi will not give you any praise. Even if I let you go now, the crime you bear can be explained.  , but your responsibility for losing Huaipu City is unavoidable."

    "By the way, I will tell you again that Quyang City already belongs to our Yanzhou Army, and the eight thousand troops sent out by your Huaipu City will probably all be killed at the hands of the Qi Army. Therefore, within the territory of Huaiyin Mansion,  The Xuzhou Army will gradually be annexed by the Qi Army and will soon become the jurisdiction of our Yanzhou Army. Therefore, for your own sake and your family's consideration, our Yanzhou Army is the most suitable place for you to loyal to. "

    Suddenly, Bai Feng was stunned by Xu Qing's words.  At this moment, he understood that the Qi army in Quyang City mentioned by the other party was probably the Yanzhou army.  In other words, the Yanzhou Army will pretend to be the Qi Army and feel that Wei Gang is under his command.

    "Could the Huaiyin Mansion be the target of the Yanzhou Army from the beginning? In addition to wanting Yuzhou, they also want to take a bite of our Xuzhou Army?" Bai Feng suddenly trembled all over, and was a little confused about the actions of the Yanzhou Army.

    "Bai Feng, I hope you will think carefully. Time is running out. I want to take over Huaipu City and the surrounding counties. Therefore, I hope to get help from people who are familiar with Huaipu City. This opportunity is rare, so think about it yourself. Surrendering to us is equivalent to helping.  Hundreds of people from Huaipu City and surrounding countiessurname.  Otherwise, we don¡¯t know how many people would suffer from this.  "Xu Qing pressed forward step by step.

    "Now that your boss has gone and never returned, the situation in the Huaiyin Mansion is clear. Li Chi wants to cut off the Qi army's southward march and have the Qi army turn back to Yuzhou and fight to the death with our Yanzhou army. But he led the Xuzhou army  , are currently attacking Yangzhou. Now the Qi army is desperately moving south. The Huaiyin Prefecture will first defeat Quyang City and then Huaipu City. Two of the three important cities in the Huaiyin Prefecture are already in the hands of our Yanzhou Army. Whatever the situation, you should do the same.  Clearly. How to choose, General Bai Feng, you should understand."

    Bai Feng surrendered. Among the defenders in the city, more than 3,000 people were killed in the battle, and the rest became prisoners of Yanzhou Army.  In addition to some being demobilized, more than 2,000 of them were incorporated into the Yanzhou Army.

    Subsequently, Xu Qing asked Bai Feng to personally take over the surrounding counties and let the people in the surrounding counties understand that they were now subordinates of the Yanzhou Army.  Of course, in these places, in addition to the replacement of civil and military officials, the other thing is the Yanzhou Army's New Deal that makes the local people happy.

    Just like what the Yanzhou Army implemented in Yuzhou, here, Xu Qing immediately arranged for people to post notices to implement the New Deal.  Of course, Xu Qing did not raise the banner of the Yanzhou Army at this moment.  Just because there were spies from the Qi army in one of the local counties, local officials were replaced.  As for the New Deal, it will naturally be implemented by newly arrived officials.

    This is what Zhao Xun did to make the people in these places return home. After all, even if Li Chi wants to take this place back in the future, he must be able to accommodate the new policies here. Otherwise, how can the people here continue to accept Li Chi?  rule?

    As for the sudden change in Huaipu City, Wei Gang, who had been marching for two days and was already a hundred miles away from Huaipu City, naturally didn't know about it.  At this moment, he is heading towards Quyang City with eight thousand soldiers, hoping to capture Quyang City before the Yanzhou Army.

    The spring breeze blew, the war horses neighed, and the army of more than 8,000 people, stretching for several miles, marched slowly towards the south.  Although it is already spring, the morning is still a bit cool, and the nascent morning sun is sparsely scattered on the earth, giving the earth a warmth

    Yunfeng Canyon, with mountains on both sides, is the most dangerous place on the official road from Huaipu City to Quyang City. Because the canyon extends for nearly a kilometer, and there are clouds and mist on the highest peaks on both sides, so this place is known as  It's called Yunfeng Canyon.

    At this time, Wei Gang and his army were marching from a distance, and the marching road was right here.

    Suddenly, a fast horse from the rear of the army rushed to the front. The knight on the horse shouted loudly: "Everyone, move quickly, we are almost reaching Yunfeng Canyon. We will rest after passing the canyon. You guys, lead us."  Some people are going to patrol the top of both sides of the pipeline to guard against a sneak attack. Hurry, hurry, hurry!" He said and whizzed away.

    The soldiers who were named immediately spat on the ground and cursed: "Damn it! What a sneak attack. This Yunfeng Canyon is surrounded by the territory under the jurisdiction of the Huaiyin Mansion. They are all our territory. How can we?"  Will the enemy come to attack us? These messengers who are not fighting have horses to ride, but we have to walk here and watch them show off their power, damn it!"

    "Stop talking nonsense, there are orders from above, and you must obey orders. You are a soldier, don't you even understand this?" One of the veterans smiled helplessly. As a veteran, he naturally understood that such an arrangement was beneficial to him.  of.

    However, these soldiers are indeed somewhat dissatisfied.  After all, they marched for two days and had to detour to another county to transport food. It could be said that they were stepping up the new army.  How can they be dissatisfied when they have to be careful within their own territory?

    Wei Dong stood quietly on the edge of the cliff on one side of Yunfeng Canyon, with several captains behind him. Wei Dong held a clairvoyant in his hand and monitored the movements of the approaching Xuzhou Army from a distance.

    "It has slowed down, but it has not stopped." Wei Dong spoke softly and handed the telescope in his hand to the bodyguard beside him, with a hint of joy in his words.  The other captains were secretly happy when they heard this.

    The reason why he is happy is because he has arranged 10,000 sergeants here and laid a fatal killing trap in the Yunfeng Canyon. Once the 8,000 Xuzhou Army enters the canyon, what awaits them will be a battle.  A devastating blow.  In a dangerous place, with many versus few, with strong versus weak, the situation is clear at a glance

    What made Wei Dong happy was that the opponent only slowed down but did not stop.  This shows that the other party did not care too much about this dangerous place. The other party did not expect that they would deploy a large army to ambush within their jurisdiction.  Then, your arrangements here will be successful.

    That¡¯s right, Wei Dong¡¯s 10,000 troops did not garrison Quyang City, nor did they slowly rush to Quyang City to put pressure on Wei Gang.  But as early as when the Yanzhou Army notified Wei Gang for the first time, they had already sneaked here quietly.  You know, Wei Dong spent several nights in order to lurk here quietly.  Of course, the soldiers under Wei Dong's command are all pretending to beArmy.  The uniforms and flags of the Qi army captured from Yuzhou finally have a use

    Wei Dong couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that by defeating the enemies below, he could completely defeat the Xuzhou Army in Huaiyin Mansion.  The Huaiyin Mansion, which mainly defended Yuzhou, was finally cut off from Xuzhou in its own hands.

    I think Li Chi will be very angry when he hears this!  Wei Dong couldn't help but think.

    The murderous aura is constantly spreading, seemingly permeating the entire world.  The wind was blowing slowly, blowing the bushes in the canyon, making a roaring sound. There seemed to be murderous intent lurking in the shadows of the trees.  The eyes hidden behind the bushes revealed a sinister gaze, and then disappeared without a trace.

    A few sentries exploring the road came from a distance. After two days of rapid march, they seemed a little tired and impatient. At this time, they were waving the swords in their hands boredly, chopping at the small trees blocking the way, complaining about being blown away by the wind.  Send it, send it into the ears of the ambushers, and what you get in return is an even more sinister murderous intention.

    "Captain, why don't we take a rest here now? This place is surrounded by the territory of our Xuzhou Army. Where are the enemies? There are not even bandits around. Besides, we have 8,000 soldiers here, even bandits.  Don't dare to launch a sneak attack on us. Why don't you just rest here for a while and then go out and report casually?" A lazy soldier suggested lazily and sat down on the ground.

    "Okay, okay!" This proposal quickly gained support from most people. Most of the dozen or so soldiers quickly sat down, and the rest also sat down.

    The leader of the team also had the same lack of energy. Seeing his subordinates all sitting down, he waved his hands helplessly and said: "Okay, you guys just sit here for a while, and I'll go over there and take a look myself."  "As a veteran soldier and an officer, he still has some professionalism in his heart.  He walked carefully in the heart of the canyon, patrolling around with a police whistle in his mouth.  Once an enemy is nearby, the police sentry will immediately send out a sharp call to alert the enemy to an ambush.

    The morning in early spring was still a bit cold, but as time went by, the warm sunshine gradually gained some warmth, and it felt particularly comfortable when it shone on the body. The captain's heart also gradually relaxed as he searched along the way.

    Seeing that there was no one around, and that he and his subordinates were all sitting lazily on the ground chatting, the team leader finally lost his energy and no longer wanted to go to the bushes to investigate alone.  Then he turned around and left to join his lazy subordinates, preparing to turn back.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, everything is safe, go back!¡± Qi Lian said with a smile.

    "Captain Yingming, there are no enemies here, they shouldn't be here in the first place."

    Yunfeng Canyon is a narrow canyon that is a thousand meters long. The roads here are winding, the terrain is dangerous, and it is surrounded by steep mountain walls, which is conducive to ambush but not resistance.  If the army wants to cross such terrain, it must be extra careful and be prepared for surprise attacks. Otherwise, if you are careless, the whole army may be annihilated.

    In a normal march, in addition to sending a large number of sentries to explore the terrain and look for ambushes, the most important task is to send forward troops to pass through the valley entrance first.  Guard the key passes.  Special soldiers must be responsible for guarding the entrance and exit of the valley, so that the army can be allowed to pass.

    When marching and fighting, the vanguard army and the exploration horses can be said to be the teams with the most important responsibilities in the entire army. The so-called opening a road through the mountains and building a bridge across the water refers to this kind of providing the army with as much support as possible in desperate situations.  The survival guarantee it can provide.

    ??In the war of the cold weapon age, mountains, water, and cities.  These geographical advantages are usually the most commonly used ambush tactics in war.  When encountering towering mountains, be careful of opponents hiding in them.  Attack from a high position, but when crossing the river, be careful of your opponent attacking halfway across the river.  But when you encounter a dangerous place like Yunfeng Canyon, you have to be even more careful, and more careful.

    When the forward sentries advance, they must not only open up an advance route for the main force, but also occupy commanding heights on both sides of the road with a certain range of visibility, search for possible ambush areas such as dense forests and peaks, and find out possible lurking enemy troops or sweep them away.  Clear small groups to harass the troops.  Once they encounter the enemy, they must notify the rear as soon as possible, and at the same time, they must immediately start fighting with the enemy.

    In a normal war, the scouts from both sides are often the first to fight, followed by the outposts and forward battalions.  Once a certain party's outpost is strong.  After defeating the opponent's forward team, you can even adopt counter-ambush, counter-charge, and disrupt the enemy formation to give the rear army a chance to win.

    This kind of concentrated contact detects the enemy and prepares for surprise attacks.  Combining multiple tasks such as fighting the enemy head-on and delivering messages can be said to be extremely difficult and challenging. It requires high tactical literacy and fearless fighting spirit. It does not require veterans of many years of combat and experienced commanders.??, it is absolutely difficult to do the job.

    therefore.  All forward battalions that are responsible for search and security tasks are not only mostly cavalry, but also elite veterans in the team. Not only are they rich in experience, they can even be said to be the best soldiers in the army.  They are full extensions of the Sentinels, synonymous with the group's elite force.  Relatively speaking, the reconnaissance horses and forward battalions in an army are elite, equivalent to a modern reconnaissance company.

    But precisely because of this, the Tanma and Forward Battalions are the most tired teams.  Therefore, in the territory under our own jurisdiction, these detective horses, who were more new to ordinary soldiers, marched for two days and inspected for two days, which made them a little impatient.  After all, this is your own territory.

    Therefore, although Wei Gang of the Chinese Army knew that Yunfeng Canyon was within his own territory, he had not received any unexpected military information recently.  However, he still sent orders to the forward camp to prepare people to inspect the situation.  The captain of the forward battalion also asked the messenger to send orders to the forward scouts to inquire about the situation.

    Several teams of horse exploration teams turned back and reported the results of their investigations to the officers of the forward battalion.  However, here, these exploration horses found nothing.

    However, the Xuzhou Army did not directly advance in large numbers.  Instead, a forward battalion of 1,000 people entered the valley first and walked through the valley to the valley exit. Here, they checked the situation outside the valley and set up a defensive formation to wait for the rear army to enter through the valley.

    "Yes, most of the eight thousand Xuzhou troops are veterans stationed in Huaipu City. No wonder the Qi army, which was able to resist Yuzhou many times, returned without success and failed to invade Xuzhou from Yuzhou." On the mountain ridge.  , Looking at the march of the Xuzhou Army, Wei Dong couldn't help but sigh.

    "So what about the old soldiers? One negligence can lead to the collapse of the whole situation. This time, this veteran fell into the hands of the general." A captain put down his clairvoyance and couldn't help but sigh.

    "Yes, we must not be careless during the march. We must remember the lessons of the Xuzhou Army." Wei Dong said lightly.
