Jingzhou
After Sun Ce's army arrived in Jingzhou, he led 10,000 heavy cavalry led by Chariot General Zhang Xiu as the vanguard, and 40,000 light infantry led by Hussar General Zhao Yun as the middle army to attack Nanyang County in Jingzhou.
Sun Ce himself and Zhou Yu led 50,000 naval troops to attack Jiangxia County in Jingzhou.
Nanyang County
Wancheng
Zhang Xiu once defended himself in Wancheng, Nanyang County for three or four years, and was very familiar with Nanyang County. He also had some interactions with the local nobles and local snakes in Nanyang.
Armed with 10,000 heavy cavalry and using every possible means, Zhang Xiu passed through the pass and defeated several cities in Nanyang County.
Every time Zhang Xiu captured a county, Zhao Yun would finish behind him and take over the military affairs in the newly captured county.
at the same time
Jiangxia County
Qichun County
Many years later, Sun Ce personally led 50,000 naval troops to attack Jiangkou again and confronted Huang Zu at Qichun City in Jiangxia.
"put!"
"Boo~hoo~boo~boo~boo~"
Sun Ce commanded the soldiers to bring in five hundred catapults, aiming specifically at the same place on the Qichun City wall.
"Bang~bang~bang~bang~bang~"
Qichun City is just a border county town of Jiangxia County, and its city walls are not very strong.
The explosive force generated by five hundred catapults in succession soon opened a hole.
"The city wall has been broken, the whole army is rushing to kill!"
"Kill!"
Following Sun Ce's order, the 50,000-day Han navy officially launched an attack on Qichun City.
Moreover, after Liu Biao became seriously ill, his troops, which were already low in morale, lost all will to fight.
In addition, none of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army knew what they were fighting for and were very confused.
Because now Chen Feng has proclaimed the emperor to replace the Eastern Han Dynasty and established the Tianhan Dynasty. Chen Feng abdicated and proclaimed the emperor in an official way, and was the new emperor recognized by most Han officials.
In the final analysis, apart from the fact that Chen Feng is not surnamed Liu, Tianhan is still Han, so when the soldiers of Jingzhou faced the Tianhan army, they had the feeling that the other side was the regular army of the imperial court, and they seemed to be the rebels.
In addition, Yangzhou and Jingzhou are very close, and many people in Jingzhou are also aware of the living standards of the people in Yangzhou.
Once faith is shaken, doubt will arise, and failure is an inevitable result.
The 50,000-day Han navy defeated the Qichun defenders and occupied Qichun City with the power of a powerful force.
Guard general Huang Zu was captured alive by Xu Sheng and brought to Sun Ce. Sun Ce killed him with his own hands, avenging his father's revenge...
The war between Nanyang and Jiangxia counties soon spread back to Liu Biao's ears.
Jingzhou
Nanjun
Xiangyang City
Facing the unstoppable Tianhan army, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others under Liu Biao all advocated surrender to protect the people of Jingzhou from the war.
Liu Biao, who was lying on the bed, said: "I am a minister of Liu Han, how can I surrender to the thief named Chen?"
Kuai Yue said: "Rebellion and obedience have general characteristics, and strength and weakness have certain trends. It will definitely be dangerous for us to use the newly established Chu land to fight against the Central Plains. My lord, how do you feel compared to Yuan Shao?"
Liu Biao shook his head: "I'm not as good as him."
Kuai Yue said again: "In the past, Yuan Shao controlled the four states and was so powerful, but he was still defeated by Chen Feng. The three sons fought for power and profit, and finally ended up with their family ruined and their sons dead.
I hope my lord will learn from this and think twice before acting. "
Liu Biao thought about it for a long time after hearing this, and then sighed heavily: "Oh, my life is about to end soon, so I should just make plans for my family and the people of Jingzhou."
In the end, Liu Biao decided to follow the advice of Kuai Yue and others and surrender to Chen Feng.
Early the next morning, Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue as his envoy to Jiangxia to meet with Sun Ce and expressed his willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty.
Sun Ce then ordered the three armies to suspend the attack on Jingzhou, and sent people back to Luoyang, Sizhou, to report the matter to Chen Feng.
After learning about it, Chen Feng immediately set off south in person, accompanied by the three thousand trapped camp, to accept Liu Biao's surrender.
soon
When Chen Feng arrived at Xiangyang City in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, carried Liu Biao and led all the Jingzhou officials out of the city to surrender.
At this point, Jingzhou was included in Chen Feng's territory.
Later, Chen Feng settled Liu Biao's family in Donglai County, Qingzhou, and gave his two sons two official positions in Donglai County.
As long as their family doesn't mess around, it won't be a problem to be prosperous, wealthy, and enjoy their old age.
As for Liu Biao's ministers and generals, Chen Feng used systematic testing to group them into groups, and those with higher loyalty were assigned official positions to Zhuge Liang for key training.
Those with lower loyalty will be handed over to Cao Cao for trial use. If they can pass the test later, they will be trained intensively.
Cao Cao has a strong ability to employ people. No matter what kind of person he is, he can make reasonable arrangements and exert value that is beneficial to himself, so this job is very suitable for him.
After conquering Jingzhou, Chen Feng sent someone to send a letter of surrender to Liu Zhang in Yizhou.
The screen changes
Yizhou
Chengdu
Liu Zhang already knew about Liu Biao's surrender to Chen Feng. At the same time, he also received the surrender letter from Chen Feng, so he summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
A group of Liu Zhang's men led by Zhang Song surrendered.
But another group of people led by Huang Quan took the lead in the battle.
Liu Zhang didn't know how to make a decision for a while, but like Liu Biao before him, he felt that he was the successor of Liu Han and should not surrender to the thief named Chen.
At the same time, I also feel that what Huang Quan and other main war factions said is reasonable. Yizhou is a dangerous place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you are not familiar with Shu, even if Chen Feng has thousands of troops, it will be difficult to attack.
In the end, Liu Zhang adopted the advice of Huang Quan and others, decided to stick to Yizhou, and fight to the end for the last glimmer of Liu's Han Dynasty...
that night
Chengdu Zhang Mansion
Fazheng entered Zhang's house with two jugs of good wine in hand, and started drinking with his friend Zhang Song.
After the two had a few drinks, Fazheng began to complain about the current situation in Yizhou, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. He felt that his superior Liu Zhang did not know how to recognize talents and appoint them. He lamented that he had empty ambitions but had nowhere to use them.
After hearing this, Zhang Song felt the same way and began to talk about the topic of Fa Zheng, telling him that he was also dissatisfied with his master Liu Zhang.
The two of them were talking like this. Seeing that Zhang Song was so speculative with himself, Fa Zheng felt that the time was right, so he suggested to Zhang Song: "God gave Yizhou to Liu Zhang, but he didn't know how to use it. He made Yizhou twelve For the sake of the people in the county, why don’t we... welcome a real Ming Lord to Yizhou?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Song's expression suddenly changed. He stood up and went to get the sword hanging on the wall of the room. He unsheathed the sword and faced Fazheng, shouting: "Fazheng, do you want to betray the master?!"
Faced with Zhang Song's sudden change of attitude, Fazheng was stunned. He felt as if he had been tricked. He suddenly became furious, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Zhang Song in a loud voice: "I have always regarded you as a talented person in Shu. I didn't expect that you have so much knowledge, but you are so shallow!
You can use my head to claim credit from Liu Zhang! "
Facing the furious Fazheng, Zhang Song did not take action. Instead, he sheathed his sword and suddenly laughed again: "Hahahahahaha!"
Seeing this, Fazheng seemed to understand something, and said to Zhang Song excitedly: "Brother Yongnian, could it be that... you also have this intention!!?"
"You come with me." It turned out that Zhang Song's operation just now was just to test Fazheng deliberately. After confirming that Fazheng and himself were of the same sect, Zhang Song walked towards the bookstore in the mansion and motioned for Fazheng to follow him. .
Fazheng immediately followed behind Zhang Song.
After the two entered the bookstore, Zhang Song took out a picture scroll, opened it and presented it to Fazheng.
After Fa Zheng saw the picture scroll, he was shocked: "This... this... this!"
This map of Zhang Song is actually a topographic map of Yizhou. It not only marks the topography of Yizhou, but also details the deployment of all city checkpoints in the 12 counties of Yizhou.
Zhang Song stroked his beard and said confidently: "Whoever gets this map will get half of Yizhou!"
It turned out that Zhang Song had long been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang. The land of Shu was more dangerous than the rest of the world. Without a map, even with thousands of troops and horses, they would not be able to enter Shu.
He spent three years secretly drawing this map, waiting for it to be put to use one day.
After Fazheng read this picture, he turned to Zhang Song and asked, "Who does Brother Yongnian want to dedicate this picture to?"
Zhang Song slowly said six words: "The Great Emperor of the Tianhan...Chen Feng."
