    Standing on the shore of the horse, Yan Liang looked up into the distance and seemed to be able to hear how Guan Yu was gnashing his teeth and chanting his name.

    Behind him, along the coast, his brave soldiers were gathering on the shore, waving weapons and holding high the harvested heads, showing off their force towards the enemy troops who were fleeing away.

    And in the entire coalition camp, from the dry camp to the water camp, the broken flags of "Zhou" and "Guan" have been trampled under the feet of the soldiers, and the red flags with the word "Yan" have been all over the camp.

    "My lord, it's a pity that Zhou Yu and Guan Yu escaped faster than a rabbit, so we couldn't annihilate them all in this battle."

    Veteran Huang Zhong, despite being excited, still has some regrets in his heart.

    Yan Liang sneered and said disapprovingly: "If Zhou Yu and Guan Yu are so unbearable, and they were captured and killed in the first battle, they are no longer worthy of being Gu's opponents."

    Huang Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Then what should we do now?"

    "Recruit the army and go south, take the city of Hefei first, and then go north to deal with the two remnants." Yan Liang said sternly, turned around on his horse, and walked away.

    A great victory, killing 10,000 enemies, capturing 5,000 enemies, and breaking through the enemy camp in one fell swoop. This battle can be described as a complete victory.

    The next day, Yan Liang left thousands of soldiers and horses to guard the camp, and personally led more than 25,000 soldiers and horses. With the remaining power of the victory, he returned to the Hefei camp.

    At this time, Ling Tong, Zhu Huan and other generals were leading 30,000 troops to surround the city of Hefei.

    Pan Zhang, who had been cut off from news, could not contact the outside world, but he could still tell that Zhou Yu must have led reinforcements to rescue Hefei in recent days.

    Because Pan Zhang found out.  Half of Yan Jun's troops outside the city have all been transferred out of the encirclement camp, and in recent days.  The impact of Yan Jun's thunderbolt car on Hefei has also been significantly weakened.

    Pan Zhang therefore deduced that Yan Liang must have mobilized a large number of troops to resist Zhou Yu's reinforcements.

    For a time, Pan Zhang, who had been desperate, regained hope.

    Pan Zhang climbed to the top of the city every day and looked north for a long time.  What they were looking forward to was Zhou Yu's flag appearing outside Hefei City, and what they were looking forward to was the scene of the besieging troops outside the city escaping in confusion.

    Unfortunately.  After waiting for several days, Pan Zhang did not expect Zhou Yu's reinforcements. Instead, he expected a large number of Yan troops to return from the north and return to the ranks of the siege.

    Pan Zhang felt uneasy again.  Hope was disappearing little by little in his heart.  But he still didn't give up, holding on to the last bit of luck, hoping to hold on.

    One day later, Pan Zhang's hope was completely shattered.

    In order to frighten Pan Zhang in Hefei City, as well as the recalcitrant soldiers and civilians in the city, and to let them know the news of Zhou Yu's defeat, this time.  Yan Liang played some performance art.

    Yan Liang ordered that the 10,000 soldiers of Liu's coalition army be killed.  They cut off all their heads and piled them into a hill outside the west gate of Hefei.

    Ten thousand bloody heads were piled up on a hill higher than the city wall of Hefei. Not only the soldiers on the wall, but also the soldiers and people in the city could see clearly.

    What a terrifying scene this was. Everyone in the entire city of Hefei who saw this scene was petrified by this unprecedented horror.

    Pan Zhang, his soldiers, and the people of the city suffered unprecedented mental damage.

    Everyone¡¯s remaining hope and fighting spirit were shattered by the terrifying mountain of human heads, until nothing was left.

    A deep sense of fear quickly spread through the city like a plague.

    People were panicked and morale was desperate. Fleeing across the city began to happen frequently. Not only the soldiers, but also the people in the city took great risks and fled across the city.

    For the people of Hefei, the risk of escaping across the city is much smaller than being beheaded by Yan's army after the city is broken and adding bricks to the mountain of heads.

    Pan Zhang tried all kinds of means, including intensifying patrols of the city and killing those captured who fled across the city, but he was still unable to stop the soldiers and civilians in the city from fleeing across the city.

    Even in the end, even Pan Zhang's personal troops began to flee.

    On the fifth day after the Battle of Feishui, Jiang Qin once again appeared alone outside the west gate of Hefei and asked to see Pan Zhang.

    Pan Zhang knew why Jiang Qin came, but this time, he did not hesitate and immediately ordered Jiang Qin to be let into the city.

    In the city tower, two former colleagues met again.

    "Compared with the generosity last time, Pan Zhang's spirit was much weaker this time around, and he no longer had the same momentum as before.

    "Brother Wengui, in the battle of Feishui, Da Sima defeated ZhouHe and Guan Yu's 30,000 allied troops killed 10,000 enemies and captured 5,000 enemies. You must have seen the Rentou Mountain outside the city.  "Compared with the last time, Jiang Qin is much more confident this time.

    "I saw it, how could I not see it? Yan Da Sima's reputation for cruelty is indeed well-deserved." Pan Zhang smiled bitterly, his words were sarcastic and helpless.

    Jiang Qin didn't think it was strange, and just said calmly: "Last time we met, brother said that he still had to wait for Zhou Yu's reinforcements. Now Zhou Yu has been defeated and fled back to Shouchun. Hefei City is already an isolated city. Brother should have thought enough now.  It¡¯s clear.¡±

    Pan Zhang stood up and walked among the dilapidated towers, still hesitant.

    Jiang Qin then said: "You might as well tell your brother clearly that this time Da Sima not only defeated the Zhou and Liu coalition forces, but also wounded Liu Bei's general Guan Yu and took away his Qinglong sword. With Da Sima's martial arts and military skills, he defeated the city of Hefei."  In just a moment, the reason why Da Sima did not attack for a long time was because he admired his talent. I would like to advise you that only those who know the current affairs are heroes. "

    Injure Guan Yu and seize his sword!

    Pan Zhang was shaken, with a look of fear on his face, as if he couldn't believe what Jiang Qin said.

    But Pan Zhang quickly understood that there was no need for Jiang Qin to deceive him. With Yan Liang's current strength, it was really not a problem to defeat the city of Hefei.

    Zhou Yu is now defeated and has abandoned Hefei. If he continues to defend it, it will be a dead end.

    Think again about the old Jiangdong generals such as Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Lu Xun, and even Jiang Qin. After they surrendered to Yan Liang, they were all highly used by Yan Liang.

    From this point of view, Yan Liang's popularity is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, so it is natural for him, Pan Zhang, to be appreciated for returning to the important town of Hefei.

    After several weighings and mental struggles, when Pan Zhang suddenly turned around again, there was a look of relief on his face.

    Jiang Qin couldn't help but smile. He knew that Pan Zhang finally figured it out.

    At dusk, all the four gates of Hefei City were opened, and all the Zhou army flags on the city were removed. The remaining thousands of Zhou troops walked out of Hefei City one after another and went to the designated place to be reorganized.

    The Yan troops from all camps who had received military orders in advance entered the city through various gates, surrendered the Zhou troops, and accepted the defense of Hefei City.

    Before sunset, the big flag with the word "Yan" finally flew above the city of Hefei.

    This important town in Huainan, the only way to the north, has finally changed hands.

    Yan Liang was so proud of the spring breeze that he rode his horse and led his army straight to the west gate of Hefei. There, the disarmed Pan Zhang and more than a thousand of his soldiers were already waiting there.

    Seeing the arrival of Yan Liang's men, Pan Zhang hurriedly dismounted his horse and bowed forward: "General Pan Zhang, please pay homage to Yan Da Sima."

    "What a general, what a Sima Yan? The flag on the city has been changed. Wen Gui, you are one of the family members. There is no need to be so arrogant." Yan Liang turned over and laughed loudly before stepping forward to help Pan Zhang.  stand up.

    That devil-like figure who had fought against each other several times was now within easy reach.

    That majesty and strong personal charm made Pan Zhang feel not only fear, but also a strong respect.

    With just a smile, Pan Zhang was deeply impressed by Yan Liang's magnanimity. He immediately handed over his hand and said, "Thanks to my lord's appreciation, from now on, I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord, no matter what."

    Yan Liang was very pleased, but then said: "Being able to get a general like Wen Gui is like a powerful weapon. There will be many opportunities for you to make contributions in the future. For now, it is better to respond to Tiancheng and have a good reunion with your family first."

    Although Pan Zhang surrendered, he was Zhou Yu's confidant after all. Now that Yan Liang was about to raise his northern troops to fight Zhou Yu in the final battle, it was still inappropriate to keep Pan Zhang by his side.

    At this moment, it is better to let Pan Zhang return to Jiangdong to reunite with his family, which will also show his care.

    After Yan Liang conquered Yingtian, the family members of those who opposed him, such as Zhou Tai and Chen Wu, were either killed or made into slaves. However, the family members of the generals in Huainan, such as Pan Zhang, were treated favorably.  , this is a strategy to straighten your face and attack your heart.

    Now that Pan Zhang heard that his family members were still alive, he was very surprised and grateful to Yan Liang. Feeling grateful, he prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

    Yan Liang hurriedly helped Pan Zhang up, felt relieved, and sent someone to take Pan Zhang back to Yingtian that day.

    After sending Pan Zhang away, he captured the city of Hefei and rested for a few days. Yan Liang's army then attacked northward and headed towards Shouchun along Feishui with the remaining power of the victory.

    Forty miles north of Hefei, Yan Liang divided his troops to 10,000 and ordered Ling Tong to lead them, diverting the army to the southwest to capture Lu'an, which belongs to Lujiang County, in order to eliminate the flank threat from Shouchun heading north.

    After dividing the troops, Yan Liang took 50,000 troops on his own.The army rushed towards Shouchun in a mighty and mighty manner.

    At this time, Zhou Yu and Guan Yu had not long fled back to Shouchun City. Hefei fell and the news of Pan Zhang's surrender was another heavy blow to the demoralized Zhou and Liu coalition forces.

    Although Guan Zhou and others complained about each other, facing Yan Liang's massive attack, they still had to put aside their grudges and join forces to deal with Yan Jun's attack.

    Zhou Yu, who retreated to Shouchun City, stationed his troops inside the city and reinforced the city's defenses day and night, while Guan Yu's army was stationed outside the city, forming a horned force with Zhou Yu.

    Three days later, Yan Liang's army captured Chengde. The forward was only more than fifty miles away from Shouchun City.

    The situation was urgent, and Zhou Yu and Guan Yu, who had had an unpleasant quarrel, had no choice but to temporarily abandon their past feud and gather together in Shouchun City again to discuss countermeasures.

    The commanders of the coalition forces from both sides and the generals under their command gathered together, but the atmosphere was deathly silent, and no one said a word.

    To this day, facing these two arrogant commanders, no one dares to make random remarks, lest they be blamed if their plan fails.

    What¡¯s more, at this point, who can still have a solution?

    In the deathly silence, Lu Su coughed dryly, cupped his hands and said: "Captain Zhou, General Yunchang, Su has a plan, which may be able to delay Yan Thief's attack on Shouchun." (To be continued.)
