The battle in Xuzhou City is progressing very smoothly.

Because Zhu Lizhen is a gentleman, he is not very popular with the people.

Although it has not yet reached the point where the people rebelled, the oppression of the Han people in the past 70 to [-] years has not diminished at all. Now that there is a war in the city, every house is closed, and no one comes out to help.

Without the obstruction of the people in the city, coupled with the huge disparity in the number of people, it was basically a situation of pushing all the way.

To be precise, in the afternoon, the Qi people guarding Xuzhou City began to lose their fighting spirit and began to retreat, or run away.

At this time, Lingsu's west route army had already controlled the three city gates of Xuzhou, leaving only one east city gate untouched. The Qi army guarding the city escaped from the east city gate one after another.

A total of 3000 people fled.

In other words, half of the Xuzhou defenders escaped from here.

This is impossible, because the terrain in the city is complicated, and it is not realistic to want to catch them all.

In fact, Ling Su even deliberately opened a gap to drive them out.

When the sun was about to set, Shen Yi appeared on the tower of the East City Gate, watching from afar the Qi army retreating in embarrassment.

His ability to stand here means that the siege of Xuzhou is basically over.

Standing behind Shen Yi, Ling Su also glanced into the distance, and said, "Mr. Shen, if you let us block the west gate first, we can wipe out all the Qi troops defending the city."

Shen Yi looked back at him, and said with a smile: "The trapped beast will continue to fight, which will only increase the casualties."

"Let them go out without hindering the battle."

"Moreover."

Shen Yi looked to the east, and said calmly: "They may not be able to escape."

Hearing this, Ling Su opened his mouth to say something, then lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen is wise."

Master Shen put his hands behind his back, and said quietly: "Occupy the city, the next thing is to defend the city. There are some rules, I have to agree in advance."

Ling Su hurriedly said, "Say it."

Master Shen stepped on the tower, looked back at Xuzhou City, and said quietly: "No one is allowed to disturb the people in the city."

"What's more, tonight, temporarily camp in an empty place in the city, or find a place for the night. Tomorrow, I will solve the accommodation problem for everyone."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi looked back at Ling Su, and said lightly: "I know that some brothers in the army may not understand these regulations, thinking that when we suppressed Japanese in the southeast in the past, it was wrong not to disturb the people of Dachen. It should be divided, but now that we have won the battle in the Qi people's territory, why can't we be majestic?"

Master Shen looked at Ling Su quietly, and said in a deep voice: "We have occupied Xuzhou City, this is the land of Dachen, and the people in the city will also be the people of Dachen in the future."

"If the generals below don't understand, let them come to me directly."

Ling Su quickly bowed his head: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the last general will wait, and he will definitely restrain his subordinates."

"Ah."

Shen Yi nodded slowly: "There are still many things for you to do in the city, so don't stay with me here. The most important thing right now is to treat the wounded soldiers well."

"You go and send people to requisition all the doctors and medicine shops in the city to treat the wounded soldiers."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi squinted his eyes and said softly: "If there is anyone who doesn't cooperate, you don't have to be polite."

Ling Su heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said, "The general will obey!"

Shen Yi thought for a while, and added: "There is one more thing."

"The warehouses of Zhizhou Yamen in the city and several warehouses that store grain must be guarded by heavy soldiers, especially don't allow people to enter and burn these grain warehouses..."

Before he finished speaking, someone rushed over, knelt down in front of the two of them, and said in a panic, "Mr. Shen, General Ling!"

"A warehouse in the city is on fire!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi breathed out a foul breath, and looked at Ling Su.

"This is the disadvantage of the residual poison."

Ling Su's expression was a little unsightly, he bowed his head and said, "The last general is dereliction of duty!"

"There are too many things, no wonder you."

"Go and send people to put out the fire. Save as many as you can. After that, I don't want to see this kind of thing happen again."

Ling Su clasped his fists and bowed his head, then hurried down the tower, rushed to the burning warehouse, and went to deal with the matter.

After Mr. Shen stood on the city wall for a while, Lin Sheng, who had made great contributions, walked up the tower, clasped his fists at Shen Yi and said, "Si Zheng!"

Shen Yi was taken aback, looked back at him, and said with a smile: "I thought you went back to your "home", what do you want me for?"

Lin Sheng bowed his head and said, "Sizheng, my subordinate told you earlier that it is not appropriate to let the people out of the city by opening the city gate. After careful consideration, this subordinate has some room for improvement."

Shen Yi nodded: "You say."

"If you let go of the city gate during the day, the people in the city may not dare to go out."

"After sunset, Sizheng can open the four gates of Xuzhou, and then let people shout in the city, telling these Xuzhou people that those who voluntarily leave the city can leave the city at night, and Master Chen Wang just pretended not to see it."

"The people of Qi will never come tonight, and there will be no danger in closing the city gate tomorrow morning. This will greatly reduce the number of people in the city, and secondly, the people who disagree with me will definitely leave at night. "

"Early tomorrow morning, Sizheng, you will reap a clean and refreshing Xuzhou city!"

Shen Yi rubbed his chin, thought for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said: "The real Zhu Li in the city, didn't they all run away?"

Lin Sheng was taken aback.

Master Shen shook his head slightly, and said: "I have already thought of a solution to the problem of food, Yankang, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Hearing this, Lin Sheng bowed his head silently: "Yes."

Shen Yi smiled at him, and said: "Now, most of the Qi army in the city have been kicked out, and the rest are big cats and kittens, why don't you go home and have a look?" Look at the "Madam" at home?"

Lin Sheng looked embarrassed, and smiled wryly: "Some don't know how to go back..."

Shen Yi smiled, did not persuade him any more, but continued to look east.

Standing behind Shen Yi, Lin Sheng followed Shen Yi's gaze, and saw that the east was peaceful. He was a little curious, and asked, "What is Si looking at?"

"I'm looking at the Qi people fleeing east."

Master Shen laughed softly: "I'm also watching the Huai'an army coming from the east."

The person in charge of the defense of Xuzhou City is a deputy general surnamed Chen. To be precise, he is the deputy general of the Southern Conquest Army. Zhou Shizhong temporarily assigned him to Xuzhou to guard Xuzhou City.

At this moment, this General Chen, surrounded by a group of people, fled Xuzhou in a panic, his mind was in chaos.

Because it happened so suddenly.

When he was still arranging Xuzhou's defense, he suddenly received a report saying that someone was making trouble at the west gate, resulting in the death of Zhizhou Pan Mao at the west gate.

He had just finished dealing with the matter in hand, and when he rushed to the west gate, more than 2000 southern thieves rushed in and occupied the west gate abruptly.

At dawn, countless southern thieves rushed into Xuzhou, and then he was forced to retreat steadily, leaving Xuzhou in embarrassment. All these changes happened so fast that he still feels like he is in a dream.

After running for more than ten miles, this General Chen looked back, but he didn't find the southern thief who was chasing him. He rode on the horse and suddenly yelled.

"You cowards who fight!"

With a roar, he turned his horse's head, pulled out the sword at his waist, and held it high to the sky.

"Chen doesn't bother to be with you, if he wants to run away from you!"

"I went back and fought with the southern bandits, vowing to take back Xuzhou City!"

This General Chen, with red eyes, was about to rush back to Xuzhou, but he was hugged by a group of family members and couldn't move.

Everyone knew in their hearts that General Chen's sudden emotional breakdown was not because of how brave he was.

But because of…

He was scared!

What a crime it is to lose Xuzhou?
Losing Xuzhou and escaping, I'm afraid it's not something the family can explain, and the family members may all be implicated by the court!
It was precisely because of the association of the consequences that Vice General Chen suddenly lost control of his emotions and wanted to go back to Xuzhou.

After being stopped by the crowd, General Chen fell off his horse, threw his sword aside, and sat on the ground with disheveled hair, still cursing endlessly.

"Cowardless beasts, you beasts!"

He was full of resentment, and the more he scolded, the more fierce he became.

Some of the nearby generals who were scolded by him all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Those who were more courageous swallowed and asked, "General Chen, where are we going now..."

"Go to your mother!"

General Chen seemed to have found an outlet, and cursed angrily: "Go to your mother! Go to your mother!"

"Go find a knife and wipe your neck!"

"In order not to be caught by the imperial court and tear your car apart!"

Everyone shrank their necks.

The atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

I don't know how long it took before a faint sound of footsteps broke the silence.

Someone hurriedly climbed to a high place, only glanced to the east, and his face was ashen.

Under the setting sun in the west, an unknown number of Southern Dynasties troops in the east were striding towards them to surround them.

It can be vaguely heard that there is a tall man running towards the crowd at the head of the horse.

A family of thousands of people from Qi was so frightened that they stammered: "General Chen, there are also southern thieves in the east, and they are here!"

They fled in a hurry, and before they had time to send out scouts, they were already approached by Shen Yi's East Route Army.

General Chen heard the words, and was about to speak when he faintly heard a hearty laugh.

"Mr. Shen has a wonderful plan!"

He laughed out loud.

"Sure enough, there is a Hugou, and I sent it to my mouth!"
