Zhang Guiba hurried to the city and couldn't come out, but he was exactly what Li Jing thought...

According to Liu Xun's plan, he ordered all the soldiers of the army to dig soil and put them into bags, and at the same time threw them into the Bian River Canal. Jingxiang and Gaiyu were responsible for building the cofferdam dam. Zeng Yuanyu, Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong led their troops to block the four gates of Suzhou City to prevent Zhang Guiba from leaving the city to destroy the dam. He also sent three generals Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang and Li Cunxiao to patrol the four suburbs and block the Qi army troops who could come to aid at any time.

Since Zhang Guiba has been huddling into the city and the Qin army is very morale, the work efficiency of intercepting and building a dike is extremely high. It took only four days to complete the project of filling the river and building a cofferdam. Just two days later, Suzhou City suddenly became an artificial lake, with the water in the city being so deep that it was not as high as the knee.

For a time, houses passed by Suzhou City were flooded, and the people in the city had to escape to the top of the tail.

In the city of Suzhou, Zhang Yun, the former governor of Suzhou, was now just an idle person. He was deprived of military power and only served as the chief of Suzhou. The water flowed into the city, and the Zhang family was flooded. The water was deeper than knees. Fortunately, the Zhang family was rich. Although his family was flooded, he still had several large boats. At this time, the whole family moved into the boat to live.

The sky was shining brightly, but there was a wave of light at home. Zhang Yun stroked the railings of the boat with his hand, feeling indescribable.

"Dalang, what are you thinking?" A calm voice sounded behind him, and Zhang Yun's father Zhang Chuangu moved over.

Zhang Yun quickly greeted him: "Sir, Father!"

Zhang Chuangu was the head of the Zhang family in Haizhou. Although he had not become an official, he was in charge of the Zhang family and was very business-minded. Zhang's family has been prosperous over the years and his family has been worth tens of millions of dollars, which can be said to be the old man. Therefore, although Zhang Yun had already reached the position of governor of Suzhou at a young age. Although he was brave and talented, it was more because of Zhang's reputation, status and wealth in Yanhua Town. In addition, in recent years, the rebellion of the army in Yanhua has been one after another. He was the confidant of the subordinates of Pu, and he was able to become the governor of Suzhou.

Zhang Chuangu was wearing silk, a long robe with a large sleeve, a jade belt with a squid head, and five long beards. He looked very Confucian and businessman. Although he was over fifty years old, his whole face was red and looked like he was only about forty years.

Looking at his son's frowning, Zhang Chuangu said: "Are you considering the current situation?"

Zhang Yun nodded.

Zhang Chuangu said again: "It's time to consider it. When Pu surrendered to Qi, we had no other choice. But now it's different. We don't know when the ship Huang Chao sinks, but Zhang Guiba's ship is about to sink. Before it sinks, we must change the ship as soon as possible. Now there is a big ship next to us, so we can't miss the opportunity to board."

Zhang Yun looked at his father with surprise.

"Come with me and introduce you to a friend for your father." After Zhang Chuangu finished speaking, he walked straight ahead. Zhang Yun followed him, and soon Zhang's father took him to his father's boat and arrived in the cabin. He saw that there was already a person sitting there in it.

"I am currently a doctor of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Taiwan Supervision Bureau of the Northeast Road of the Tang Dynasty. I came here to disturb you this time, and I hope you will forgive me. There is a letter here, written by my Highness, and I asked me to hand it over to General Zhang." The man who sat upright stood up and bowed, then took out a letter and handed it to him.

Zhang Yun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this person was Li Jing's intelligence leader, so he dared to go into Suzhou City to see him. And judging from the other party's meaning, he seemed to have already believed that he would submit to Li Jing. Seeing his father beside him look like a normal expression, Zhang Yun suddenly understood. It seemed that Li Jing's people had contacted his father first, and the conversation was almost done before finally meeting him.

He suddenly remembered that my father has been doing business with Dengzhou in the past few years. When he remembered his father's words, I'm afraid that his father had been in contact with them for a long time.

For a moment, Zhang Yun fully understood. No matter what, his father's approach was not wrong.

I think he tried his best to save Zhang Guiba last time, but what was he exchanged for? The military power was seized and demoted to a free position like the chief of the Shi. Now that the reinforcements have not arrived, Suzhou is about to be unable to guard it. Looking at the heroes from all sides, Li Jing, as the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, was even more powerful than Huang Chao, who was the emperor of Chang'an.

After thinking it through, Zhang Yun smiled at Di Wushu and opened the letter to watch it. The letter was written by Li Jing, and the content was nothing more than Li Jing's words to recruit him, so he would wait anyway. The letter was accompanied by Li Jing's reward and appointment, and was awarded the General of the Zuo Xiaowei, General of the Zhenjun, Mizhou Defense Envoy, and the newly established first army of the Harajuku War Army, and Zhang Yun was awarded the title of Shenwu Army as the leader of the Shenwu Army."

Zhang Yun also had some understanding of the Qin army's military system, which was roughly equivalent to that of the court. The first two generals had a virtual title and the other was a scattered rank, indicating that his rank was a third-rank position. The real position was still the Mizhou defense envoy, who was in charge of the Qin army. The defense envoy was the commander of a state, but it was much lower than the defense envoy of the court. However, the commander of the Shenwu Army was a real important position in the Qin army. The Shenwu Army had a military rank, not a Tu Group and a rural soldier without a military rank, but this was the organization of war soldiers. He was in charge of a military rank of five thousand troops and was considered a general of the Qin army.

This reward surprised Zhang Yun very much.

Wushu kept observing Zhang Yun's reaction, observing his face and looking at him, and he could see that Zhang Yun's intentions were moved. He smiled and said, "Your Highness of Qin admires General Zhang very much, and has publicly praised the general for his youth, courage and strategy, extraordinary demeanor, and the style of a general."

Zhang Yun was a few years younger than Li Jing, and he was indeed younger. Moreover, during the night battle, Zhang Yun was extremely brave and broke through the siege, which made the Qin generals very impressed.

When things got to this point, there was no need to say anything falsely. Zhang Yun happily agreed to return to Qi Jun.

"I would like to ask the Fifth General to tell His Highness the King of Qin and give the last general three days to offer Suzhou to the King of Qin."

Wushu took the letter from Zhang Yun to Li Jing and left with satisfaction. Successfully instigating Zhang Yun was a great achievement for their Military Intelligence Bureau.

After the person left, Zhang Yun thought for a long time and said to his father: "I would like to ask my father to secretly contact the big and wealthy merchants in the city for me."

Zhang Chuangu knew his son's meaning, and now all the generals were deprived of military power. If they wanted to seize the city, they could only open up another Xizhi. The big merchants in the city were actually very worried about the current situation and were eager to end the war early. Contact them, they naturally wanted to borrow the servants from these big merchants to do their business.

Next, Zhang Chuangu began to secretly contact major merchants, and Zhang Yun was very careful to contact the former old officers. Due to the flooding of the city, Zhang Guiba had long deprived the military power of the generals of the influence, and was so busy that he ignored these people.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the water in Suzhou City has reached its waist and abdomen. If this continues, it will take less than two months for Suzhou City to be finished.

That night, Zhang Yun secretly contacted his former officers, and Zhang Chuangu contacted the wealthy businessmen in the city, and they fought together, and suddenly attacked. Zhang Chuangu led his servants to open the city gate and led the Qin army into the city. Zhang Yun and others sneaked into the Yuanjian barracks, launched a mutiny, killed the officers sent by Zhang Guiba, and regained the control of the army. Then they led their troops to attack the Xicheng Highland Camp where Zhang Guiba's troops were located.

When Zhang Guiba was woken up by his subordinates, he was still a little drowsy. He could not help but widen his eyes when he heard the shouts of killing everywhere.

"Zhang Jun, something big is not good. The dog thief of Zhang Yun and his son rebelled. They led the servants of various wealthy families to open the city gate and entered the military camp to instigate the soldiers to mutiny. Now the whole city is in chaos. The Qin army has entered the city!"

When Zhang Guiba heard that the Qin army had entered the city, he immediately felt a little cold.

Zhang Guimu broke in with armor, "Brother, Suzhou can't be defended anymore. Please leave here quickly. If you are late, you can't leave."

Zhang Guiba came back to his senses and no longer wanted to regain the city. The Cao Army has been fighting in the world over the years. The war is not the strongest, and the defense of the city is not the most powerful, but no one can compare to the starting lineup. The two brothers gathered their personal soldiers around them, and took advantage of the night and chaos to kill the generals all the way west.

By dawn, the chaos in Suzhou City finally ended.

Li Jing's soldiers had successfully controlled Suzhou City. Zhang Yun and his son led the invaders of the city to fight against each other and the wealthy merchants in the city to greet him. Li Jing met him one by one. He also ordered in public to give rewards to Zhang Yun and other generals, and commended Zhang Chuangu and other wealthy merchants in the city one by one, and granted lords, lords, and other titles.

For about three thousand influence troops in the city, Li Jing organized them into the newly formed Shenwu Army, and dispatched two thousand veterans from each army to supplement them, with a total of five thousand troops, with Zhang Yun as the leader of the army.

In addition, Li Jing also gave 5,000 yuan to each of the soldiers of the entire army, and gave 5,000 yuan to the Shenwu Army.

For a moment, there was a cheer in Suzhou city.

The Qin army dug the embankment, and the Suzhou city, which had been soaked for several days, restored its old appearance. The war soldiers checked the situation, Suzhou's influence army surrendered, and Zhang Guiba's troops were basically destroyed, and about 3,000 escaped. Li Jing didn't care, and he said that Li Jing did not order all sides to encircle him, and did not want Zhang Guiba to fight to trap beasts, and agreed to the Qin army that there were too many casualties. Li Jing's goal was to seize Suzhou, not to destroy Zhang Guiba.

Although Suzhou is small, its location is very important. There are four important waterways that run through the north and south of central Henan and connect the Huanghuai River. Especially the Bian River Canal, this is the most important canal, occupying Suzhou, and Chuzhou. As long as Li Jing seizes Xuzhou again, he will completely control the Huanghuai Plain.

Li Jing also admired Zhang Yun, who was only 25 years old. After talking to him several times, he was indeed worthy of being the title of influencer. Although he was young, he was truly brave and resourceful. In his joy, Li Jing specially asked the court to ask Zhang Yun to be named Changsha Marquis.

At this moment, Li Jing arrived with both blessings and wealth. Chen Qi, the Huainan general who had just replaced Gao Jie in Shouzhou, was dissatisfied with Gao Pian's favor to Lu Yongzhi, and Zhang Shouyi, and killed Feng Shou, a general of the Huai Army at will. He was even more dissatisfied. Chen Qi had just taken over Shouzhou, and Zhang Shouyi asked him for bribes. Chen Qi refused. Zhang Shouyi weaved the charges and captured Chen Qi's son, and actually killed him in prison. Chen Qi was extremely angry when he heard that Gao Pian had been unable to attack Chuzhou for a long time, and Li Jing broke into Suzhou in the north again, so he simply gritted his teeth and sent his confidant to surrender to Li Jing.

Shouzhou and Suzhou are connected north and south, only one Huaihe River. Shouzhou and Haozhou are even connected east and west. Now Suzhou and Haozhou are both under the control of Li Jing, so Chen Qi simply surrendered Li Jing. Li Jing was naturally very happy when he heard the news and hurriedly sent Lin Wei to personally take over Shouzhou and occupy Shouchun, an important town in Huaixi.

Li Jing reorganized Chen Qi's troops into Xiongwu Army, and appointed Chen Qi as the leader of Xiongwu Army. He asked Chen Qi to be appointed as the general of the Zhen Army, the General of the Zuowei Guard, the General of Haizhou Defense, the Lord of Xiongwu Army, and the Marquis of Shouchun. He and his troops were transferred to Haizhou for reorganization and training. Shouzhou, Lin Wei led the army to garrison.

Gao Pian was at the city of Chuzhou. When he heard this, he jumped up and cursed and ordered someone to be sent to Yangzhou to kill Chen Qi's family. However, Chen Qi had already made arrangements and his family had disappeared. Gao Pian became even more angry. He was angry and ordered a large-scale attack on Chuzhou. As a result, he attacked twelve times in a row, leaving only thousands of corpses under Chuzhou. At this time, he could not capture it for a long time, but instead lost Shouchun. Soon, another urgent report came, Yang Xingmi, a native of Luzhou, killed the governor and appointed himself as the envoy of the eighth capital. Each of the eighth capitals under him was a thousand people, with a great momentum and had occupied Luzhou.
