Chapter 420
Dai Feng, who was forced into a stone wall, was under the protection of a group of soldiers, struggling dyingly.
Dai Feng, who was surrounded by Yang Tao, had basically no chance of escaping. However, the terrain here is narrow, and it would take a lot of time to kill the opponent. In order to prevent other changes, Yang Tao asked Gao Shun to lead the Yellow Turban Warriors to come forward and kill Dai Feng forcibly.
Gao Shun was originally a second-rate general. Although he was not a powerful general, his strength was also good. Among the remaining soldiers of Dai Feng and others, the highest level was a special-level general. The strength of the Yellow Turban Warehouse was far above ordinary soldiers. Therefore, there was no suspense that Dai Feng was cut off by Gao Shun and presented to Yang Tao by Gao Shun.
Since he killed Dai Feng, Yang Tao was not interested in continuing to chase the other scattered soldiers, and led Dai Feng's head toward the valley where the granary was located.
Back in the valley, Yang Tao found Zhou Tai, handed Dai Feng's head to him, and finally completed the recovery task.
"Announcement from all Three Kingdoms Regions: Players Jianghe successfully subdued the second-rate historical star Zhou Tai..."
There is no reward for regaining Zhou Tai this time, but for Yang Tao, subduing Zhou Tai is already the biggest benefit. With Zhou Tai, Yang Tao can also train the navy, and it also provides certain guarantees for Jiangheting to gain a foothold in Jiangnan.
Yang Tao conquered Zhou Tai and was also very jealous of Ling Cao, but Yang Tao knew in his heart that it was not the time to conquer Ling Cao, so he could only give up temporarily.
At this time, due to the system announcement, Yang Tao received another general, which made the entire Three Kingdoms Region burst into full bloom for Yang Tao to gather another general, and there were even more discussions. Now the players have only four famous generals subdued, three of them are in Yang Tao's hands. How can they not surprise and look ugly in the major player guilds? After all, they don't even have a famous general, but Yang Tao has three. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. It would be strange if the people in many player guilds don't look ugly, and the worst-looking one is the president Tiangu who aims at the world.
He knew where Jiang Heting was located. Although he was speculating, he was almost inseparable. For other player guilds, Yang Tao was just a potential opponent, but for him, Yang Tao was the most direct obstacle to dominate Yangzhou. The stronger Yang Tao was, the lower the possibility of dominating Yangzhou. For Tiangu, who was determined to take Yangzhou, this system announcement was really bad.
"We must speed up the conquering of famous generals and famous scholars, otherwise the gap will continue to grow, and the sword will be crushed by Jiangheting." Tiangu has made up his mind to subdue famous generals and famous talents as soon as possible because of this systematic announcement. There are several people in Shucheng, Chen Dao and Xi Zhicai are rare talents, but it is very difficult to conquer Xi Zhicai, but Chen Dao can consider it.
At this time, the troops who pointed at the World Guild were in Shuxian City, guarding Shuxian County with Chen Dao. It was close to the water. However, other guilds were also using Chen Dao's ideas, so Tiangu had to be more concerned next. However, Tiangu believed that with their strength to strike at the World Guild, he must be the one who defeated other guilds and finally conquered Chen Dao.
At this time, Yang Xu and others in Shucheng City realized that something was wrong outside the city. Since the powerful troops of King Jiujiang outside the city returned, they came outside the city. In the past few days, except for the heavy thunder and little rain, they have never launched a decent attack on the city. This made Yang Xu and others extremely strange. For some reason, they could only ask for advice on Xi Zhicai.
Since she was ambushed by Dai Feng last time, especially after her eldest son Yang Mi died, Yang Xu learned from his mistakes and became more and more respectful to Xi Zhicai.
Over the past few days, I have become much closer to Xi Zhicai. When I came to Xi Zhicai's residence, I saw Xi Zhicai and asked hurriedly: "Sir, why has the thief army outside the city been slow to attack the city?"
"Master Prefect, isn't it a good thing for the thief army to not attack the city? Why is Master Prefect so anxious to come and attack the city?" Xi Zhicai chuckled.
"Sir, don't lie to me. Dai Feng is very cunning and still keeps his troops now. There is something strange about it. I hope you can solve your doubts for me?" Yang Xu bowed respectfully to Xi Zhicai and asked.
"Since the prefect wants someone to solve the problem, Xi tried to solve it. Among the officials of Jiujiang, Xi said Dai Feng was not as cunning as the prefect said, but rather a person with a sinister and irritable personality. The reason why the prefect always cannot gain the upper hand when he fights with him. By planning to watch, Dai Feng must have someone to help him, but this person Xi didn't know. Before, he suddenly let the army retreat a hundred miles before, and there must be a change. Now the army outside the city is stagnant and has no desire to attack. Xi predicts that Dai Feng is not in the army."
What Xi Zhicai said was not much different from the facts, but Yang Xu, who was standing beside him, was stunned and asked quickly: "Sir, do you mean Dai Feng is not outside the city?"
"That's right. Moreover, Xi Mou predicted that the other party seemed to be in great trouble. The thief army outside the city no longer had any fighting spirit. If the prefect leads the army to attack at this time, the prefect will definitely win a great victory."
Xi Zhicai said with great certainty.
Yang Xu was stunned when he heard this, lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"Smoke from cooking."
"Smoke?"
"Prince Yang has led a large army. He should know that among the army and horses, several to dozens of people were used as a stove. There were three to four million thieves outside the city, and dozens of stoves were needed. Whenever they were cooking, smoke and dust would surely rise. These days, Presiding Yang has been guarding the city tower, which shows how the difference outside the city is."
After hearing Xi Zhicai’s question, Yang Xu thought carefully, then suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: “The other party’s smoke is getting less and less, is it food and grass?”
"It may be food and grass, but it may also be the other party's plan to reduce the stove. Therefore, a few days ago, Xi received Chen from the prefect's office and went to the rear of the bandit army to inquire about the news. However, he learned that when the bandit army was returning to the outside of Shucheng a few days ago, a thief army of 300,000 suddenly left and lost their whereabouts. Although it was not found that the soldiers had gone there, the soldiers and horses were wearing flags with their names." After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, he stopped talking. With Yang Xu's talent, he should be able to guess what he meant.
Sure enough, Yang Xu thought carefully about what Xi Zhicai said, and suddenly said with a glaring look: "Dai Feng's army retreated a hundred miles before and had to get a problem with the food and grass, and personally took people to solve the food and grass. The army outside Shucheng was just a deterrent to our troops. Judging from the situation of the army outside the city, the food and grass should have been out of stock. After all, the food and grass consumed a lot of food and grass every day. In this case, it would be good that the thief army outside the city could retain 30% of the strength."
Hearing Yang Xu's words, Xi Zhicai nodded. When she saw Xi Zhicai, Yang Xu was extremely excited and bowed to Xi Zhicai and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir."
After saying that, Yang Xu left in a hurry and prepared to attack the troops.
At this time, in the tent of the entangled Jiujiang King's Military Camp outside the city, many generals gathered together, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
As the temporary commander of the army, Xu Shu looked at everyone and sighed, and said, "Now Dai Feng is dead, everyone should disperse and go their separate ways."
After saying that, Xu Shu left the central army's tent directly, leaving a group of military generals and scholars looking at each other in the tent, but obviously many people had different thoughts, so they did not leave the tent like Xu Shu.
Xu Shu walked out of the tent and saw that there were only a few people coming out from behind. Everyone thought that Xu Shu could guess that he was just to be the King of Jiujiang. Unfortunately, there were too few people who knew the situation. Now that Jiujiang King Dai Feng was dead, the army was short of food for a few days and was on the verge of collapse. Even if someone became the King of Jiujiang again, it would be useless. Unless a large amount of food and grass could be found in a short time, Yang Xu in the city was not an idiot, so how could he allow another King of Jiujiang? Whether the people in this tent could survive depends on their own luck.
