After Feng Yao, Xu Shu and others made up their plan, they immediately launched an operation. First, Chen Guoxiang Yuan Si led [-] troops, Zhou Cang, Chen Dao, and Wang Hu each led [-] troops to attack Yingchuan. Just keep Wenpin, Xun You, and Lou Gui's troops out of Runan, and prevent the war from spreading to Runan!

Wei Yan's martial arts has improved a lot compared to last year. Although he dare not say that he can draw with Guan Yu, it is not easy for Guan Yu to defeat Wei Yan.
Feng Yao also sent a letter to Shouchun, asking his father Yuan Shu to use Sun Ce again, hand over Sun Jian's old ministry to Sun Ce, and send Mrs. Wu's personal letter.

The ninth day of the first month of the second year of Xingping (195).

Under Feng Yao's coordination, the battle between Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou suddenly broke out, and they took the initiative to attack with lightning speed!
Guangling Suiling Battlefield
Pei Xiang Shu Shao led [-] troops, and captured Xiaqiu County in Xiapi in two days, and was close to Zhang Fei's back!
The [-] soldiers who assisted Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun captured Dongcheng in Guangling County, and went north to face Zhang Fei head-on!
Zhang Fei was furious: "The rats dare to fan Wujing!"

Battlefield in Strider County, Jiangxia County

Liu Xun, the new prefect of Lujiang County in Yangzhou, also sent troops to the border of Jiangxia, intending to cut off Huang Zu's retreat!
Feng Yao increased Gan Ning's troops to [-] to fight against Huang Zu, and led Ji Ling to send troops from Langling to attack Huang Zu!

Huang Zujun was shocked when he heard the situation!
Danyang County Battlefield

Sun Ce took back his father's former subordinates, including Jie Pu, Huang Gai, and more than a thousand people, and ordered Wu Jing and Sun Ben's army to fight Zhang Ying from Liyang in Hengjiangjin, forcing Zhang Ying back to Danyang in the first battle. Niuzhu of the county!
Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang, saw that he had won the first battle, and immediately raised his troops to attack Niuzhu's Zhang Ying from behind.

When Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, learned of Zhou Shang's rebellion, he immediately spat out blood and fainted to the ground. His counselor Xu Shao, Tai Shici and others immediately rescued Liu Yao!
Liu Yao said angrily: "Zhou Shang has betrayed my Liu family's great trust and ruined my great affairs!! Check, let me find out who else is involved in this matter!!"

Xu Shao said: "My lord, there is no need to investigate. I am certain that Zhu Zhi, the captain of Wujun, will rebel! Zhu Zhi used to be Sun Jian's former subordinate, and has always been greatly favored by the Sun family. This time, he will definitely raise troops to respond!"

"I'm afraid that Yangzhou will not be protected in this way!" Liu Yao's face was melancholy.

Xu Shao said: "My lord, don't worry, I have a plan! Three armies can be raised to besiege Qian, Tang and Zhu Zhi, and they can be defeated within ten days!"

Tai Shici also said angrily: "Since the prefect of Danyang has rebelled, I am willing to be the prefect of Danyang and lead troops to Danyang to pacify Zhou Shang and resist Sun Ce!"

Liu Yao thought about it, and thought: "Although Tai Shici is brave and intrepid, if I reuse him as the prefect, I'm afraid Xu Shao will laugh at me for not knowing people!"

So he said kindly to Taishi: "Ziyi, you have just arrived in Yangzhou, and you have not made any meritorious service. If you are appointed as the prefect all at once, I am afraid that the generals will not accept it. It is better to ask Ziyi to lead the troops of the headquarters and go to Danyang. If you can pacify Zhou On the other hand, Sun Ce's troops were retreated, and then everyone had no objections!"

Although Tai Shici was a little disappointed, he still gladly accepted the order and led less than a thousand people from his headquarters to Danyang in a starry night!

Zhu Zhi, the captain of Wu Jun, had originally received Sun Ce's order and planned to raise an incident secretly. Unexpectedly, Liu Yao had already made a plan to besiege Qian Tang with three armies!
On the first road, Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, led [-] troops!
On the second route, Wucheng's handsome brother Yan Baihu, not far from Qiantang, led [-] troops!
The third road is only a few tens of miles away from Qiantang, and Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, led [-] troops, and sent troops from Shanyin, the county government!

In Qiantang County, there are mountains and rivers to the west and south, rivers and seas to the east, and Mapingchuan to the northeast!And Xu Gong personally led his troops from the northeast!

After Zhu Zhi gathered people to discuss, he transported money and food from Qiantang overnight, and led his troops to the northeast to break through.
……

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Feng Yao led [-] troops to attack Qulu County in Xiapi County.

Liu Bei heard that Xuzhou had been attacked by nearly [-] troops from the four armies one after another, so he dispatched Mi Fang to almost all the troops in Xiapi City, gathering [-] troops to fight against Feng Yao, and sent envoys to Qingzhou to ask Kong Rong to rescue him. !
Don't drive Mi Zhu back to the East China Sea in a hurry, and enlist soldiers from various counties to go to Xiapi for reinforcements!

On the [-]th, Feng Yao's army met Mi Fang, before Mi Fang could set up his formation, Feng Yao personally led [-] cavalry and [-] cavalry archers to charge out, directly killing Mi Zhu's army, the morale of Mi Zhu was broken and the formation was in chaos.

This time Lu Fan also led [-] soldiers from Ruyin to accompany him, they had already circled behind Mi Fang, Xu Chu and Dai Ling led their troops out and defeated Mi Fang.

Feng Yao ordered Gong Du and Xu Shu to go behind with food and grass, and led the elite soldiers to chase Mi Fang to five li outside Xiapi city. !There were also a large number of deserters, but Mi Fang only took more than [-] elite soldiers and fled back to Xiapi City!
Guan Yu of Pengcheng fought with Wei Yan Chenggu for several days, and each had a victory or defeat. Hearing that Xiapi City was besieged, he was in a hurry. He led his troops back to Xiapi from Pengcheng, but was ambushed by Wei Yan in Lu County. He lost all food, grass and supplies, and demolished his troops. Five thousand, less than 1 people left to rush to Xiapi, and Pengcheng was attacked by Cheng Gu's troops!

On the [-]th, Xiapi City was besieged for one day, and they were in a hurry, and nearly a thousand soldiers would be injured. At night, Feng Yao was discussing with Xu Shu and Lu Fan about breaking the city.

Feng Yao hurriedly received him, and Cao Bao's confidant sent a handwritten letter with the seal of Cao Bao's captain.

The letter said: "There are only a few people in the world who I have conquered by Cao Bao, and they are all heroes who rule the roost by virtue of their true abilities. Among these people, Feng Shijun is the one I admire the most. My old master Tao Gong is also Cao Bao. One of the heroes I admired was killed by Cao thief. I wish I could eat Cao thief's flesh, drink Cao thief's blood, and kill Cao Cao's head to avenge my old master. Siwu's old master gave Xuzhou the grace, not only did not attack Cao thief, but secretly colluded with Cao thief!!"

"I heard that Feng Shijun and Cao thief are incompatible, and they are connected with Wenhou in the north and Yangdihou in the south. The Cao thief is just around the corner. I want to surrender to the envoy, but there is no way. Now the envoy is coming to the city. I am willing to sacrifice the city and surrender. And I would like to marry my daughter to the envoy as a concubine! My daughter is beautiful and well-behaved, she has just reached the age of ji, and there is no marriage contract yet!"

Finally, there is Cao Bao's signature and seal. The letter did not say how to dedicate the city.

Feng Yao asked Cao Bao's cronies again, and said personally: "Captain Cao, please set a time, and I will let you know when I return to the city. Captain Cao will lead the soldiers to open the north gate at that time!"

"Why not Ximen, my army is at Ximen?" Feng Yao asked.

"Captain Cao was excluded by the Chen family and the Mi family in the city, and he was not trusted. There were too many guards at the west gate, and the guards were tightly guarded, so it was difficult to attack. The generals guarding the gate at the north gate were under Captain Cao. As long as Cao Once the captain arrives, he will definitely open the city gate according to his orders!" Cao Bao replied.

Feng Yao ordered Cao Bao to retreat temporarily, and hurriedly gathered Xu Shu, Lu Fan and other generals to discuss.

Xu Shu said: "I'm afraid this matter is fraudulent, but I have heard that Cao Bao and Liu Bei are at odds. This matter is still very reliable. Why don't you send a general with thousands of troops to go there? If it is true, my lord will lead the army to kiss you Past!"

Lu Fan said: "My lord, Cao Bao does have a daughter. Because of her outstanding appearance, Xuzhou has an endless stream of people wanting her to be his wife! And from her move to open the North Gate, it can be seen that Cao Bao really intends to surrender! But my lord is the commander of our army. , it is not advisable to take risks in person, this subordinate is willing to go to test the authenticity on behalf of the lord!"
