Everyone believes that Fang Zhiwen was entangled by the Yellow Turban Army and Yuan Shao in the north, and entangled with Cao Cao in the south, and there would be no other details at all, but at this time Fang Zhiwen had another details.

Just as Cao Cao was busy preparing to siege Xia Pi and intending to destroy the Xuzhou regime in one fell swoop, Fang Zhiwen suddenly rushed south, almost effortlessly seizing two cities in one day. Guanyun and Haixi defenders almost surrendered. The gap in combat power between the offensive and defensive sides was too big. What's more important is that Fang Zhiwen's reputation was caused.

Haixi is located near the sea. At the same time as Fang Zhiwen took over Haixi, Duan Zhiran's naval forces also arrived. Haixi was immediately handed over to Duan Zhiran. While Duan Zhiran established a dock on the seashore of Haixi, he began to transfer the population migrated from Guanyun and Haixi.

Fang Zhiwen ordered the follow-up player troops to completely destroy Guanyun City, and take away any stones that can be taken away. This is all money. Players who followed Fang Zhiwen are naturally happy to do this kind of thing to move and grab everything. As a result, Fang Zhiwen set fire and even the walls of Guanyun City were demolished.

Fang Zhiwen explained all his behavior under the banner of punishing rebellion. Although it was a bit far-fetched, the people of Guangling who were in it were indeed guilty. Who told them to betray Tao Qian?

Before Cao Zhuan could react, Huang Zhong and Yue Xi's troops finally revealed their whereabouts. Yue Xi was along the north bank of the Yangtze River, destroying all the villages and towns along the way. They conquered Liyang and Fuling, drove the people in the city to the riverside, and then were gathered by Cai He's navy, loaded on a cargo ship and sent directly to Lenan. Yue Xi's goal was very clear, it was Guangling City!

Huang Zhong raided Huailing, drove all the people away, set fire to Huailing City, and then headed the army eastward to attack Xuyi. Because there were too few defenders in Xuyi, Xuyi and the fleeing people abandoned Xuyi and fled north. When Huang Zhong arrived in Xuyi, Xuyi was already like a ghost city. Huang Zhong ordered the fire to burn Xuyi without hesitation.

...................................................................................

"Lord, it turns out that Fang Zhiwen's target is Guangling. It is the population!"

Cao Cao stared at the map in a daze without saying a word, and then muttered for a while: "So cruel! So cruel! Fang Zhiwen, he was actually thinking of dividing Xuzhou with us!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "Lord, I'm afraid the share of the people he wants to divide is just the population and wealth, and the territory will still be dumped on us."

"What should I do? Let him snatch Guangling's population and wealth? This is ours!" Cao Cao finally couldn't suppress his anger and rubbed his temples, jumping straight. Cao Cao's voice was full of anger and unwillingness!

Xi Zhicai frowned, and he was also very unwilling to accept that a Guangling County that had changed its banner had never experienced the war. It could have quickly become Cao Cao's granary and piggy bank, but now it was easily broken and burned by Fang Zhiwen. The population was stolen, the goods were emptied, and only a piece of white land was left.

If Guangling County really turned into a wild land in the end, then what was the purpose of this battle with Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai? Perhaps, in the end, it is worthy of comfort that he also got a broken Xiapi County, or a relatively barren Peng Kingdom.

Xi Zhicai was patrolling the map, and there was no place to draw troops at all. Even if he could barely draw Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong, these two people might not be the opponents of Huang Zhong and Fang Zhiwen, unless he gave up attacking Xia Pi and turned to protect Guangling and protect Huaiyin.

"Lord, we are now the critical moment to capture Xia Pi. His attack at this time just puts us in a dilemma. If we turn around to protect Huaiyin, it is possible that Huaiyin and Xia Pi are not available. Since this is the case, my subordinates think that we should take Xia Pi first, as for Huaiyin..."

Cao Cao quickly sorted out his emotions. Now that anger is useless, it has happened, so he has to find a way to deal with it. Xi Zhi was right. Fang Zhiwen is worthy of being Fang Zhiwen, with a very accurate vision. This time he hit his weakness again. But this is how it is like playing chess. If you put a single piece of money, your opponent will also put a single piece of money. If you get some benefits, your opponent will naturally take some real benefits. This is an inevitable thing.

"Okay, order Chen Deng to give up Huaiyin and lead his troops north to Lingxian as soon as possible and approach each other. If Fang Zhiwenwei chases to Lingxian, then we will decide when to see the outcome of the war in Xia Pi! In addition, let the generals speed up and surround Xia Pi as soon as possible. Now we will compete with Fang Zhiwen for time!"

Xi Zhicai looked at the map worriedly. In fact, this kind of response might be the best way, but there is too much helplessness in it. If Guangling could be integrated for more time, it would not be so unbearable. As long as every city can delay as much as possible, things would not become like this.

The reason why Cao Cao ordered Chen Deng to retreat was that he was worried that Chen Deng would turn to Fang Zhiwen again at this time. If this were not the case, he should order Chen Deng to stay in the big city Huaiyin and try his best to spend time with Fang Zhiwen.

"That's all, time!"

....................................................................................

Chen Deng was also stunned when he received Cao Cao's order. He originally thought that Cao Cao would order him to stay in Huaiyin and wait for help. Now Fang Zhiwen takes advantage of Cao Cao's opportunity to attack Xia Pi without time to escape. As long as Cao Cao makes a move in Xia Pi, Fang Zhiwen's offensive in Guangling will naturally be curbed.

Therefore, fighting for cities to resist step by step is the best way, but Chen Deng's army is already unbearable to fight. What's more, facing General Zhenbei, who is known as the God of War, many cities fled or surrendered. Even Chen Deng himself was panicked and had no confidence at all.

However, he still couldn't expect that Cao Cao would order him to retreat. Huaiyin City was Chen Deng's nest. Chen Deng was very clear about what the retreat meant, because all the cities occupied by Fang Zhiwen were destroyed. They were either burned or demolished, and they were completely white. If he evacuated Huaiyin, this would probably end here.

On the surface, Fang Zhiwen was severely punishing the betrayers, but in fact, it was fundamentally offsetting the benefits gained by Cao Cao in this war, and even wanted to make Guangling and Guangling refugees eventually become Cao Cao's burden. It was not worth the loss, but it was necessary to completely destroy Chen Deng's family and make the betrayers pay a heavy price.

"Yuanlong..."

"Father, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a while, why is Yuanlong hesitating?"

"Father, Cao Gong ordered his child to give up Huaiyin and retreat to Lingxian. It was really hard for him to make a decision. Huaiyin is a big city and has the conditions to stick to it. As long as we can't stand, it will be difficult for Fang Zhiwen to suddenly take down the troops. When Cao Gong takes down Xia Pi, the danger of Huaiyin can be solved. If he gives up now, Huaiyin will no longer exist! Father, if Huaiyin is destroyed because of the child's reasons, the child's crime will not be forgiven!"

Chen Gui sighed, looked around, stroked his long beard and said, "I originally wanted to protect the Chen family's foundation and the people. Who would have thought that this would be the ending? If the princes compete for the competition today, there is no Pure Land anywhere. Yuan Long could not do anything at all if he wanted to do these things. How difficult is it!"

"It's all that Fang Zhiwen is so ambitious. If Xuzhou returns to Cao Gong and no longer faces the suffering of war from then on, wouldn't it be a blessing for the people of Xuzhou? Why did they have to do anything against each other and actually destroy Guangling? What's the people? What's the people?!"

Chen Deng said gritting his teeth, but he seemed to have forgotten that the person who started this war was Cao Gong in his mouth. If it weren't for Cao Gong, wouldn't the world be peaceful?

Chen Gui glanced at Chen Deng, shook his head and said, "It's better to obey the orders and evacuate. Mr. Cao is worried that you will sway from side to side."

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "It is probably difficult for a new student to join Cao Gong. Why not write a letter and persuade Cao Gong to hold on to the city in Huaiyin City?"

"I'm afraid Mr. Cao may not allow it, but since Yuan Long thinks this should be done, just do it!"

Chen Gui knew his son's character, so he decided that even nine cows could not get back. If he had followed Chen Gui's character, he shouldn't have surrendered to Cao Cao at all. Instead, he would wait until Xia Pi had a result. Now that the banner changed too early, he would send the great excuse for the war to Fang Zhiwen. Everything Fang Zhiwen did in Guangling became revenge for Chen Deng's rebellion.

When Chen Deng heard his father's statement, he immediately excitedly picked up a pen and wrote back to Cao Cao, asking him to stick to Huaiyin and hold Fang Zhiwen and wait for Cao Cao's support.

But at noon the next day, Chen Deng received a reply from Cao Cao, and still insisted on letting Chen Deng evacuate from Huaiyin.

Unfortunately, the war was ever-changing. By the time Chen Deng reorganized the military and civilians in the city to start evacuation, Fang Zhiwen's troops had already captured Huaipu, and Huang Zhong's troops had already occupied Hongze, forming a situation of attacking Huaiyin on both sides.

Chen Deng was panicked when he received the information. At this time, he no longer cared about the people and the like. He led his tribe members and troops to throw away the baggage and accelerated to run towards Ling County. Chen Deng's panicked behavior quickly spread to the people behind, and these originally orderly teams were in chaos.

The conflicts between the people were initiated by some poor people who were not doing their jobs, and then spread rapidly. Finally, they began to rob the big households, and even killed each other. The huge group of people was like a chaotic swarm of bees. The spirit woke up and had already fled to the four fields. If they were not lucky, they would become ghosts under the knife.

In broad daylight, on the road leading to Ling County, it suddenly turned into a ghost realm.

It was not until Fang Zhiwen's cavalry arrived and killed the chaotic people among the refugees that they controlled the chaotic situation, and then divided and bound the people, and drove them back to Huaiyin. Then a large number of players who followed received the mission and sent them to the beach in batches. Moreover, Huaiyin was on the edge of the Huai River, and some small boats could also reach Huaiyin directly. Fang Zhiwen's population transport speed suddenly became much faster.

When Chen Deng fled to Ling County, he heard that Fang Zhiwen had occupied Huaiyin and was secretly grateful. Then Chen Deng immediately began to prepare for war, built defense facilities in Ling County, summoned militias to train, and prepared to deal with Fang Zhiwen's next attack.

However, Fang Zhiwen did not intend to attack Lingxian, but instead divided into two groups with Huang Zhong's army, pushing them from west to east, all the way to the seaside, snatching all the population and wealth, destroying all the cities, villages and towns, and completely turning Guangling into a piece of white land.
