"The Soochow army retreated."
Looking at the Soochow army receding like a tide, Li Dian laughed twice.
"The rats from Jiangdong are really vulnerable."
Originally, Li Dian wanted to take the opportunity to send troops to capture Yangjiaocheng.
If we can defeat Wancheng in one go, then we will completely stop Sun Zhongmou from thinking about it!
It's a pity that Wenyuan is cautious.
Zhang Liao thought more. He ordered to the left and right:
"Sergeants, please rest for the time being. Don't relax. That Sun Zhongmou is cunning and can do anything."
The failure of this attack on the city may have been Sun Quan's plan to fake defeat in order to lure the defenders out of the city to fight in the field.
Or maybe you want to sneak attack at night!
Anyway, whatever Zhang Liao could think of, Sun Quan can do it!
Sun Zhongmou would even surprise him unexpectedly.
"The envoy from Jiangdong is here."
At the foot of Hefei City, I saw Yu Fan dressed in envoy robes, with an envoy's ceremonial guard raised in the team, coming to serve as an envoy amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This scene was really ironic.
"snort!"
When Li Dian saw the envoy from the city, he snorted coldly.
"What does a person who betrays an alliance do when he sees his envoy? In my opinion, just shoot him to death with random arrows."
Zhang Liao had a smile on his face.
"If you don't kill the envoy when the two armies are fighting, he is rude to Jiangdong. Do we have to be as rude as them? If we see him, we have nothing to lose."
Li Dian snorted coldly and said, "I want to see you. I'm going to the military camp."
You, Sun Zhongmou, don't abide by the covenant, then don't blame me, Li Dian, for not abiding by the covenant.
When you mobilize all your troops to attack Jingzhou, I will fight back Lujiang County!
Let’s train our soldiers first!
In the city of Hefei.
General's Mansion.
Hospitality lobby.
Zhang Liao sat on the main seat and looked at Yu Fan in the hall.
"Foreign envoy, pay homage to the general."
"hehe."
Zhang Liao sneered and said, "We just attacked the city and now we are sending an envoy. What's the point?"
Wen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous aura on his body was not concealed at all.
"Not long after we signed the alliance in Xudu, we betrayed it again. Does Sun Zhongmou think that I, Zhang Wenyuan, can be easily bullied?"
Yu Fan knew he was in the wrong, but as a messenger, his words must not be lost on others.
"How can my lord think that the general is easy to bully? This is nonsense, and my lord has not betrayed the alliance. On the contrary, our lord does not care about the casualties of his soldiers and attacks the city. This is an act of abiding by the alliance."
"oh?"
Zhang Liao had a sneer on his face. He wanted to see what Yu Fan could say.
"Is it possible that Zhongmou worked so hard? Then he came to attack Hefei?"
Losing thousands of men and horses under Hefei City, is this not a betrayal of the alliance?
"General Haojiao knows that our main attack on the city is to show Jingzhou, in order to deceive Pang Shiyuan, Liu Gongsi and Guan Yunchang. Hefei City has suffered heavy losses. If Jingzhou knows about it, they will have no doubts in their hearts. The Dongwu army marches to Jingzhou and can defeat Jiangling!"
Acting so realistically?
Thousands of lives were ignored?
Are his people, Sun Zhongmou, so wealthy? So willing?
If Sun Zhongmou really came to attack the city because of the alliance between Wei and Jiangdong, then Zhang Liao could only say: He is so gentle, I will really cry to death.
But based on Zhang Liao’s understanding of Sun Quan.
Is he so righteous?
He just wanted to try to attack the city. If he hadn't prepared to defend the city in advance and really believed in Sun Quan's oath, Hefei might have been captured by Sun Quan just after a fierce attack.
If Hefei was captured, would Sun Zhongmou return Wei to him?
hehe!
It's obvious that he's breaking the promise, but he still says it so beautifully.
"There is no need to say these useless words. The envoy is here, what is the purpose?"
Although Yu Fan was unhappy at being so despised by Zhang Liao, he really had nothing to say.
After all, Jiangdong betrayed the alliance first, and now his confidence is insufficient.
Yu Fan had no choice but to smile and said: "My lord has said that everything under the covenant remains as before. Tomorrow our Jiangdong army will set out. I also ask the general to restrain his soldiers and not attack and capture the city where I have defenders in Jiangdong. Everything will be in accordance with the covenant." That’s right!”
Is everything according to the covenant?
Zhang Liao looked at Yu Fan deeply and said, "You are the first to betray the alliance, and you still want us to abide by the alliance? How can there be such a good thing in this world?"
Yu Fan snorted coldly and said: "If the general does not agree, then I, Jiangdong, will have to attack Hefei with all my strength and form an alliance with Jingzhou. What choice the general will make depends entirely on your thoughts!"
Jiangdong rats, they clearly made mistakes first, but they still dare to be so confident?
"snort!"
Snapped!
Zhang Liao slapped the table in front of him heavily. With a loud bang, the document seemed to be a little lower.
This sudden loud noise also made Yu Fan's face turn pale, and he quickly said: "The two armies are fighting without killing each other."
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Liao raised his head and laughed loudly, and said: "The envoy misunderstood, I never thought of killing you, but you Nanraccoons clearly made a mistake in the first place, and instead came to demand Wei, but did you go too far? "
Yu Fan frowned and asked bravely: "What do you want, General Yi?"
"Give up Hefei Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng. I will forget about today's attack on the city."
If Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng are given away, wouldn't it be more difficult to attack Hefei in the future?
Yu Fan immediately refused!
"General, I just said that today's attack on the city is for Jingzhou to see, and there is no breach of the promise. The general is now opening his mouth. It seems that he is the one who wants to break the promise. You are breaking the promise in Hefei. What a bad person." You have done something important to the King of Wei, can you bear the crime?"
snort!
Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with murderous intent!
"What a sharp tongue!"
He stared at Yu Fan coldly and continued: "Jiangdong rats, the covenant is just a piece of white paper to you. If you don't agree to this, how can I trust your Lord's credit?"
"Besides!"
Zhang Liao's tone was low and he said word by word: "I, Zhang Wenyuan, betrayed the alliance, so what? Can you Jiangdong capture Hefei?"
If Yun Chang came to attack the city, Zhang Wenyuan would still be afraid.
Who are you, Sun Quan?
"you!"
Zhang Liao's attitude was resolute, far beyond Yu Fan's expectations.
"Envoy, please come back and give me a message to your lord: No one in this world is easy to bully, and I, Zhang Wenyuan, can't be bullied easily! If you don't agree to your request, after Erjiangdong's army leaves, I will take over the entire Lujiang County!" He even attacked Yangzhou and directly drove Jianye!"
In fact, there is another sentence that Zhang Liao did not say.
Even if you don't withdraw your troops, I, Zhang Wenyuan, will beat you until you withdraw!
"I hope the general can still be so stubborn when facing the harsh criticism of King Wei!"
After saying that, Yu Fan waved his sleeves and left.
Zhang Liao said in a very calm tone from behind: "I will be outside, and I will not accept your fate. My king is so wise, how can I have a gap with you just because you are like a rat?"
Zhang Liao could have been a snake with Jiang Dong, and after Jiang Dong's army went to Jingzhou, he could take back Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng. There was no need to directly tell Jiang Dong's envoy.
But why did he say it?
First, he, Zhang Liao, is an upright and upright man and would not do anything to sneak up on someone from behind!
The second is for the covenant between the two families.
Now that the words have been made clear, it is best for Sun Quan to send Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng back. If not, then he will hurry up and send the news of Jiangdong's breach of contract to Xudu, so as to avoid the Nanyang War and the king's judgment being wrong.
To win the world, you need to rely on upright strength, not on the cleverness behind it!
You, Sun Zhongmou, should just stay in Jiangzuo!
In the future, I will lead my troops and cut off the heads of you rats!
...
"What!"
After hearing Yu Fan's words, Sun Quan was so angry that his whole body was filled with smoke.
"How dare he?"
Huhehuhe~
Sun Quan's chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing became rapid.
"Isn't Zhang Wenyuan afraid of Meng De's prosecution?"
How dare he, a minister of the two parties' alliance, dare to bear such a crime?
Lu Xun stood up on the side and said: "Perhaps these are just Zhang Wenyuan's angry words in order to force the Lord to make concessions. Lord, you don't need to pay attention to it. We have an army of 100,000 people. If you don't believe that we will not be able to defeat Hefei!"
It was a breach of contract before, and Lu Xun felt unhappy.
But now if Zhang Liao doesn't want to abide by the covenant, what else can he say?
Just hit it!
With an army of 100,000, can’t they conquer Hefei?
Besides...
Outside Hefei City, Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng, which competed with each other, were already in their hands.
One day does not make two, and two days does not make ten!
Ten days do not make a month!
He has an army of 100,000 men under his command. Hefei will be wasted even if it is wasted!
After hearing what Lu Xun said, Sun Quan's face turned ugly.
He thought about the bad memories from before.
One hundred thousand troops...
They were scattered by Zhang Wenyuan's eight hundred elite cavalry.
Lu Meng saw the hesitation in Sun Quan's eyes, and he stepped forward and said: "Zhang Wenyuan is in Hefei, and he is obviously well prepared. If we wait for a strong attack, we are afraid that reinforcements from the Wei army will arrive soon. Unless the Nanyang war starts now, otherwise, Wei still has some spare strength."
This is also what Sun Quan is worried about.
If we want to fight, we should wait until the war starts in Nanyang.
Now if we go to Hefei, it will be difficult to capture it in a short time, but it will attract the attention of Wei State.
What if Mengde just wants to stabilize the situation in Nanyang and prevent Jingzhou soldiers from rushing out of Nanyang? Then he can concentrate his forces and deal with him in Jiangdong first?
After Mengde defeated Hanzhong and dealt with Zhang Lu, he came to Hefei without stopping and defeated him directly at Ruxukou.
The painful memories of past defeats came to mind, making Sun Quan hesitate for a moment.
"Grand Governor, in your opinion, how should I deal with this matter?"
Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng expectantly.
"My lord, it is better to form an alliance with Wei State or to form an alliance with Jingzhou. If my lord has figured it out in his mind, there is no need to think about it now."
If he sincerely formed an alliance with Wei and sent back Hefei's Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng, as long as he got Jingzhou and most of Lujiang County, he would actually have gained a lot from Soochow.
To conquer Hefei, it depends on the future.
If you want to form an alliance with Jingzhou, you can just fight to the death under the city of Hefei.
Sun Quan's eyes flickered.
Alliance with Wei or Jingzhou?
At this moment, many pictures flashed through Sun Quan's mind.
Ruxukou's, Zhang Wenyuan's, Liu Gongsi's, and today's tragic siege under the city of Hefei!
Sun Quan's eyes gradually became firmer.
"you're right."
Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng and said, "Please return Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng."
When Wei was asked to give up Yangjiao City and Wengcheng, Sun Quan wanted to capture Hefei.
But what is the result now?
Even if Yangjiaocheng and Wengcheng were in his Jiangdong hands, Hefei could not be captured!
If this is the case, then we have to stop thinking about it.
If you want to have both sides, you can only get the maximum benefit Jiangdong can get.
Jingzhou!
"Lord..."
Zhang Liao is about to betray his alliance, so why are you retreating, my lord?
Lu Xun couldn’t understand.
"Bo Yan, there is no need to say more."
Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "I have given up!"
Sun Quan was psychologically shadowed by Zhang Liao.
If he attacks such a naked main city, he won't be able to capture it in a short time.
How can he seek Hefei?
It's better to wait until the war in Nanyang breaks out and Zhang Wenyuan is transferred away before he plots against Hefei again!
"promise!"
He, Lu Xun, is a general, what else can he say?
I had no choice but to obey!
...
Three days later.
Jingzhou.
Jiangling.
Pang Tong looked at the scouts who came to report and asked, "Did you really see Sun Quan leading his army to attack Hefei day and night?"
The scout nodded and said quickly: "Not only did my subordinates see it, but many people in Lujiang County also saw it. Some of the people who were forcibly recruited as civilian husbands and warriors also escaped. According to their own words, This is all true. If the military advisor has any questions, feel free to ask."
Pang Tong fell into deep thought.
It seems that Zhong Mou came according to the requirements of the covenant.
"Call Wuling's staff and Zhizhong's staff."
"promise!"
Soon.
Fan Zhou, who worked in Wuling, and Pan Jun, who worked in Jingzhou Zhizhong, all came to Pang Tong.
"Meet the military advisor."
Pang Tong waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, the news from the front is that Jiangdong has gone to attack Hefei in accordance with the agreement."
When Pan Jun heard this, his face showed great joy.
"In this case, Jingzhou will have no worries."
Pan Jun was getting tired of being prepared for Jiangdong's possible sneak attack all day long.
Can it still let people sleep peacefully?
"There are still 20,000 Wudang Feijun stationed in Gong'an and Jiling. Since Jiangling is safe, the military advisor can send me to Wancheng to prepare for Wei's counterattack!"
Fan Zhou immediately asked for orders.
Seeing that Ah Huinan and Dong Chana went to perform meritorious service, and he was alone at the rear, who knew this suffering?
Pang Tong was not as optimistic as these two people.
"Sun Zhongmou is cunning and cannot be underestimated. How is the situation in Jiangxia?"
Pan Jun immediately said: "Thousands of our troops are stationed in Zhouling. In the past few days, we have reported that there are no large troops gathering in Jiangxia. Instead, civilians are constantly being recruited in the direction of Lujiang County. The local people also say that Jiangdong is moving." Attack Hefei by force."
Pang Tong nodded.
"In my opinion, a large army can be mobilized to go to Wancheng. There are also 100,000 stones of grain and grass in Jiangling City, which are about to be sent to Nanyang. I am willing to be the grain transport officer!"
What is there to do behind this Gangneung area?
Where is your highness?
Your Highness is in Nanyang!
If His Highness doesn't show his face more often, how will Pan Jun have a future in the future?
That Yun Chang was so disgusting that he deliberately asked me to return to Jiangling. Otherwise, the one who has been following His Highness now would not be Mi Fang, the surrendered general, but me!
"No!"
Pang Tong shook his head gently.
"Your Highness said that Jiangdong Sun Quan should not be trusted. The state mausoleum and the public security must be strictly guarded. You two are now His Highness's humerus. As long as His Highness attacks Nanyang and competes with Wei King Mengde, the rear area is not in chaos." You have already made a great contribution, don’t worry, I will go up and express my merits for you two later.”
What credit can this defense have?
Pan Jun's face showed a flattering smile.
"Military advisor, the matter of food and grass is very important. Let me transport the food and grass to Nanyang first."
Fan Zhou also said: "Twenty thousand Wudang flying troops are nestled in Gong'an and Chaling. Apart from some things in Changsha County, there is nothing to do all day long? Please ask the military advisor to let me lead ten thousand troops." People, go to Nanyang!"
Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds!
Pang Tong still shook his head.
But after people have left, isn’t Jiangling empty?
"How about this."
Blindly forcing Pan Jun and Fan Zhou to defend the city may have unexpected effects.
Fu Shiren’s story happened not that long ago!
Pang Tong looked at the two men and said softly: "Chengming, you guard the public security, and General Fan Zhou guards Jiangxia Prefecture Mausoleum. If there is an emergency, he will pass the news through the beacon tower. I won't let you guard it all the time. Guard it for a month, a month." After that, I will let you go to Nanyang and transfer other generals to take over the defense of the two."
If it's only a month, that's not a problem.
The battle in Nanyang cannot be finished within a month.
Pan Jun and Fan Zhou both nodded.
"The last general takes command!"
"My subordinate understands!"
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you."
Pang Tong patted the two of them on the shoulders and said a few words of relief before sending them away.
Hey~
Jiangling is hard to defend!
Your Highness's prestige in the hearts of these civil servants and generals is too high.
Everyone wants to follow His Highness and serve His Highness.
certainly...
This is also because following His Highness can also make meritorious deeds.
For example, Ah Hui Nan went to Xiangfan, captured Fancheng in three days, and persuaded Yu Jin to surrender. This achievement is not insignificant.
Xiang Chong captured Pang De alive, ambushed Wenpin, and damaged thousands of his troops. He also played a major role in the battle to conquer Rangxian County.
There are too many people like A Hui Nan and Xiang Chong.
They all have one thing in common, that is, they follow His Highness!
If you can make meritorious deeds by following His Highness, what does it mean to stay in Jiangling?
Pang Tong understood very well what Pan Jun and Fan Zhou were thinking.
Didn't he think so too?
What's the point of staying in Jiangling and dealing with the documents?
Only by rushing on the battlefield can you show your courage as a hero!
But after the battle in Luocheng, His Highness seemed to treat him like a porcelain doll, fearing that he would be injured.
Even in the Battle of Hanzhong, he didn't get any credit, so why did he stay in Chengdu?
It just makes me angry!
Now, following His Highness to Jingzhou, he is also on guard duty at the rear!
Is it possible for me, Pang Tong, to die so easily?
snort!
no!
In a month, I will also go to the front line!
How can Pang Shiyuan do it without me when fighting Meng De?
...
Jiangling.
Sheriff's Mansion.
Today's Sheriff's Mansion is already a temporary Prince's Mansion.
Most of the officials from Chengdu went to the governor's house first, and then went to see Pang Tong.
In the backyard, the nieces and nephews Sun Shangxiang and Sun Luyu were sitting in the courtyard admiring the flowers.
Sun Shangxiang is wearing a rose-purple immortal dress. Her red lips and white teeth are radiant and glorious. Even with a light makeup, she shows that she is more beautiful, outstanding and refined, just like an indecent flower. She was as beautiful as a white lotus, and at the same time, a cold arrogance emanated from her body.
When she was at the manor under Zhongshan Mountain, she wore very simple clothes, but for some reason, after arriving in Jiangling, she wanted to dress better.
For example, now, she has not worn this outfit for many years.
Opposite Sun Shangxiang, a little lolita carved in pink and jade was holding a bouquet of red chrysanthemums and looking at it carefully.
Sun Luyu was wearing a green skirt and purple shirt, with picturesque eyebrows and snow-like skin. The soft green silk silk hung down to her slender waist. With her slightly blushing cheeks and the sunlight shining on her, she looked particularly charming.
"Auntie, this red chrysanthemum is rare, smell it."
smell?
What’s so good about flowers?
Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said: "You came from Jianye and didn't even see your husband. You are in a foreign land and have no one to rely on. Don't you feel panic? You still have flowers to enjoy!"
Seeing his niece's innocent appearance, Sun Shangxiang sighed softly.
"Who says I have no one to rely on? Auntie, aren't you the one to rely on?"
"Who am I to rely on?"
Sun Shangxiang felt pain in his heart.
She was alone in Jiangling.
You really shouldn't have come out in Zhongshan.
After I came out, I had a lot more distracting thoughts.
"Auntie, haven't you met the Crown Prince of Hanzhong? Can you tell your niece what kind of person he is?"
There was a look of curiosity on the little Loli's face, and the red chrysanthemum on her hand no longer attracted her attention.
"Then who is Mr. Liu?"
Sun Shangxiang was stunned, thinking of what Liu Gongsi looked like many years ago when he was still young.
"When he was a child, he was much more naughty than you. At that time, I could tell that he was a romantic child. Now that I see it, I didn't make any mistakes."
Romantic?
Sun Luyu's eyes flickered.
"I heard that His Highness has several beauties around him. Does Auntie know about them?"
Sun Shangxiang nodded.
She seemed bored these days, and she got to know a lot 'unintentionally'.
"That boy is young and already has three beauties around him. Counting you, there are already four."
Four people?
Sun Luyu stuck out his tongue.
Her future husband is really quite romantic.
Sun Luyu couldn't help but feel pressure in his heart.
"Guan Yinping, the daughter of Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty, has my aunt seen it?"
Sun Shangxiang nodded.
"Yin screen is a good woman. When I see her, it's like seeing myself in the past. Of course...she is much smarter than I was back then."
She was too self-centered back then, but all the eyes on the screen were His Highness.
Now it seems that Silver Screen is pretty smart.
"Then she has had sexual intercourse with His Highness?"
Sexual intercourse?
"Your Highness and Yinping have already had sexual intercourse."
When Sun Luyu saw Sun Shangxiang's face looking strange, he thought he was in poor health.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
Sun Shangxiang coughed, quickly threw away the strange thoughts in his mind, and said: "Your aunt, I have a very strong body!"
Sun Luyu nodded lightly.
"Your Highness is having sex at a young age. Could it be that you are indulging in it? If you don't exercise restraint, you may not be able to do it."
You girl, you haven't married that boy yet, and you are already thinking about him?
Sun Shangxiang glanced at Sun Luyu angrily and said, "Don't worry, that kid is very energetic and full of energy every day. He is not like those playboys who look like their bodies have been hollowed out."
At such a young age, he is already different from ordinary people in that respect.
"That's good."
Sun Luyu nodded lightly.
"How much does Auntie know about His Highness's temperament?"
That boy's temperament?
Lustful?
Sun Shangxiang thought for a while and said: "Although His Highness is a womanizer and a bit of a slut, he is very disciplined in his actions. His subordinates are all respectful to him. His Highness does not treat people with the arrogance of a superior person. Instead, he makes people behave in a very orderly manner. He is like a spring breeze, and he has great prestige in the hearts of the army's sergeants and soldiers."
After hearing what Sun Shangxiang said, Sun Luyu's eyes lit up.
It seems that my future husband must be a strong man!
"Does Auntie know His Highness's preferences?"
What's that boy's preference?
Isn't it just a womanizer?
Besides women, what else?
Sun Shangxiang thought about it and said, "He is quite like his father. He is thirsty for virtuous people, and his preferences are not revealed much except for women."
The main reason is that Sun Shangxiang has not had in-depth communication with Liu Chan and spent too little time together.
I'm afraid only Yin Ping knows about his preferences now, right?
Sun Luyu was a little disappointed, but she continued to ask: "In which areas does Your Highness have specialties? Playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Or archery and marksmanship?"
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Although he has not been seen showing it, judging from his intelligence and the words he writes, he must be quite impressive.
As for archery and marksmanship?
Although that boy is young, his martial arts skills are not bad.
Sun Shangxiang was about to answer, but as if he thought of something, he looked at Sun Luyu angrily.
"You girl, you came to me to get some information."
Just now, she was worried that Sun Luyu would not be able to adapt to life in Jiangling and would not be able to compete with the beauties around His Highness.
But looking at the girl's appearance now, she was clearly prepared.
It was his first visit to the mansion, and he had to find out all the details about Liu Gongsi and Guan Yinping.
Sun Luyu stuck out his tongue playfully. She held Sun Shangxiang's hand coquettishly and said, "Good aunt, Lu Yu has only one relative in Jiangling. If I don't ask aunt, who can I ask?"
Seeing Sun Luyu's pitiful appearance, Sun Shangxiang's heart softened.
"Okay, okay, keep asking."
As this girl's aunt, I naturally want to help her win His Highness's favor.
only...
Why is there a trace of resistance in my heart?
"I knew my aunt treated me the best!"
Sun Luyu's face was like a blooming white orchid, with a smile written on her face, overflowing with contented joy.
Now that he had received Sun Shangxiang's promise, Sun Luyu was no longer polite and immediately went into full force.
"Auntie, what color clothes does Your Highness usually like to wear?"
"Auntie, what kind of dishes does Your Highness usually like to eat?"
"Auntie, when did Your Highness and Madam Guan go to the room to have sex?"
...
Each of these questions was more outrageous than the last, and they tortured Sun Shangxiang to pieces.
but...
What makes her even more outrageous is that she can actually answer many bizarre questions.
When did I know that kid so well?
Sun Shangxiang was shocked!
...
Champion County.
The government office lobby in the city.
Liu Chan had a banquet with his subordinates.
With the help of the Nanyang gentry at his side, the champion county was captured without much effort.
It is not accurate to say that it is a champion county.
In the fourth year of Yongyuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor He of the Han Dynasty granted Dou Xian the title of Champion.
This place is Dou Xian's fiefdom.
However, Emperor He of the Han Dynasty and the eunuch Zheng Zhong conspired to kill the Dou family, and Dou Xian was forced to commit suicide.
This so-called fiefdom is actually a county.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work, please!"
Everyone in the hall raised their wine bottles and said one after another:
"Your Highness, you have worked hard. You are tired from the boat. I would like to offer a toast to Your Highness." Liao Hua immediately came forward to express his position.
"Yes, Rangxian County was able to hold us back for more than ten days before His Highness arrived. In just a few days, not only Rangxian County was captured, but also the champion place was captured." Xiang Chong faced Liu Chan. He raised his glass and saluted. These words came from his heart.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness works harder than us!"
...
The battle was won, and the atmosphere in this room was very lively.
Liu Chan laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.
"It is only through the hard work of all of you and the life of the soldiers that we can achieve this result."
When he came, he went to Rang County and won the championship, mainly relying on the power of the Nanyang gentry.
This is nothing to be proud of.
"Your Highness, let's go to Nanyang. Should we go to Li County, Shunyang, or Yin County now?"
The championship is an important place, connecting three places.
From Li County to Xi County, you can reach Luoyang.
After crossing Danshui from Shunyang, if we capture Wuguan, we can drive directly to Guanzhong.
Starting from Yin County, you can go to Dongsan County and then go straight to Hanzhong.
"Who is guarding Wuguan?"
Wuguan?
The eyes of all the generals in the hall lit up.
Could it be that His Highness meant to attack Wuguan and seek to capture Guanzhong?
Han Yao rolled his eyes slightly, as if he thought of something.
His Highness must have asked the King of Hanzhong to send troops to attack Guanzhong. If they can go straight to Wuguan, they can form a two-sided attack with the Han army in Hanzhong.
Go straight to Guanzhong?
If we can conquer Guanzhong, what kind of credit is this?
Uncle Zong Hui stepped forward and said, "The one guarding Wuguan is Lu Chang."
Lu Chang!
Liu Chan shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful.
This Lu Chang is also a man who can defend the city.
Guan Yu had many dealings with him when he was in Xiangfan. As long as he defended the city, Guan Yu could only return without success.
If this person is guarding Wuguan, it may not be easy to attack him.
"Where did Wenpin go?"
Attacking Wuguan was just an idea that came to Liu Chan's mind.
If the general guarding Wuguan is an unknown person, then he will naturally lead his troops to take it.
Why not do something that comes easily?
But if the martial pass is difficult to attack, then there is no need to expend energy.
He still has to save his life and prepare for the decisive battle with Wei King Cao Cao!
"Wenpin fled to Yin County."
Yin County?
That is the direction of Dongsan County.
"Then we will go to Yin County to capture this city. Do you have any clever ideas?"
I asked you all, but Liu Chan's eyes still moved back and forth between Uncle Zong Hui and Han Yao.
"The three counties in the east are guarded by Liu Feng and Meng Da. Your Highness only needs to send troops to surround the city. When I send a letter, the garrison in Yin County will definitely surrender if he sees that he is cornered!"
There is really no one who is familiar with Han Yao in this Yin County.
But it doesn't matter.
Han Yao is also quite famous in Nanyang.
In addition, His Highness's army is pressing down on the border and there is no need to attack the city, so it should be possible to capture Yin County.
As long as Wancheng is not lost, the overall situation of Nanyang has been decided. Unless these people want to be loyal to King Wei, surrender is their only way out.
"This is very true. We will mobilize all our troops tomorrow and head to Yin County."
He paused and then said: "Shunyang or Li County, who will get it for me?"
As soon as Liu Chan said this, all the generals in the hall stood up and asked for orders.
"The final general is willing to capture Shunyang and Li counties for His Highness!"
The military morale was available, and Liu Chan immediately gave the order.
"Yuan Jian led his troops to attack Shunyang, and Uncle Hui joined the army!"
"Xiang Chong led his troops to attack Li County, and Zihong joined the army!"
"promise!"
Liao Hua, Xiang Chong, Han Yao and Zong Huishu stood up to accept the order.
...
The next day.
The army set out from Champion and headed for Yin County.
At the same time, Liu Chan sent envoys to Dongsan County to invite Meng Da and Liu Feng to Nanyang.
Even if the possibility of a decisive battle with Cao Cao is very small, no matter how small the possibility is, we must be prepared.
If Nanyang falls, the three eastern counties will not need to send troops, and they can enter Nanyang.
We set off early in the morning and arrived in Yin County in the afternoon.
Liu Chan's five thousand troops have already surrounded Yin County.
Before arriving at the formation, at Liu Chan's request, the army sergeants shouted to the defenders on the city:
"You are already trapped in a tight siege. If you want to survive, please open the door and offer sacrifices to the city. Your Highness will spare your life!"
"You are already trapped in a tight siege. If you want to survive, please open the door and offer sacrifices to the city. Your Highness will spare your life!"
...
Thousands of people roared together with great momentum.
On the city wall, Dou Xiao, the guard of Yin County, had a timid look on his face. He looked at Wenpin beside him and asked, "Your Majesty, what should I do now?"
What to do?
Wenpin looked at the army in formation outside the city, and saw the ceremonial flag of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong in the army. His heart sank to the bottom of his heart.
Don't you think I, Wenpin, have fled three or four cities, but I still can't escape Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong?
I had known that I would leave Yin County last night.
Wenpin felt a little regretful.
He originally wanted to run to Shunyang last night and planned to escape from Wuguan into Guanzhong.
If I get to Guanzhong, my job as Wenpin should be safe, right?
Although it was a bit embarrassing to be a deserter, at least my life was saved, right?
There is always an opportunity to make up for it later.
It's a pity that Dou Xiao invited him to a banquet last night. He drank too much and the trip naturally failed. Now he is even more surrounded.
run?
How to run?
Wenpin sighed and said: "The army is besieging the city, so we can only hold on and wait for reinforcements."
Waiting for help?
Dou Xiao's face looked bitter.
Where did the reinforcements come from?
Zhuyang?
They may not be able to protect themselves.
Shunyang?
It's the same thing whether it's there now or not.
As for the Guanzhong reinforcements coming from Wuguan?
Stop it.
Not to mention the long distance, there are not many Wei troops in Guanzhong now, and it is already stretched to defend Hanzhong, let alone support.
Reinforcements?
Where did the reinforcements come from?
Defending the city is like waiting to die!
"How many defenders are there in the city? How many war horses?"
Dou Xiao knew that Wenpin had the idea of breaking out of the encirclement. He said to the side: "There are more than 2,000 soldiers in the city and less than 200 horses."
Two thousand men and two hundred horses?
Wenpin's eyes flickered.
"General, can you trust me?"
trust you?
Dou Xiao nodded.
"I, Dou Xiao, have the reputation of being a prince like thunder."
"How about you and I leading two thousand soldiers and two hundred horses to break through the encirclement at Wuguan and enter the middle of the pass in the middle of the night?"
Abandon the city and flee?
There was a look of struggle in Dou Xiao's eyes.
"That's fine!"
As if after careful consideration, Dou Xiao said to Wenpin: "Just do what the general said!"
"good!"
Wenpin's face showed a look of ecstasy.
He said casually, not having much hope in his heart, but he didn't expect that Dou Xiao actually agreed.
"General, you are truly a loyal minister of Wei!"
This Dou Xiao is a native of Yin County, and his family business is in Yin County, but he is willing to break out of the city with Wenpin to fight for a chance of survival!
"Why did the general retreat?"
Before finishing this sentence, Dou Xiao took a few steps back.
Are you serious about taking half a step back?
Wenpin had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Left and right, capture this person!"
After retreating to a safe distance, Dou Xiao immediately gave the order, and his cronies immediately understood. Everyone came together and quickly subdued Wenpin, and the rope tied Wenpin like a rice dumpling.
"Dou Xiao, you?"
I praised you earlier as a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty!
How can you be a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty?
The rebellious ministers and thieves are more or less the same!
Dou Xiao had a slightly apologetic expression on his face.
"Junhou, I'm sorry. I am old and young, and my martial arts skills are not as good as those of Junhou. I broke out of the city and died without a chance. I think Junhou will not go to Wuguan and surrendered to Hanzhong with me. How is Crown Prince Liu Gongsi doing?"
"Bah! You villain! I, Wenpin, saw the wrong person!"
After being scolded by Wenpin, Dou Xiao's face turned red and his heart stopped beating, and he continued: "You have become a famous general. I heard that the crown prince of Hanzhong reused the Jin Dynasty. He was able to reuse the Yu Jin who dedicated the city to the Jin Dynasty. The general lost his troops and was in a desperate situation." I also want to serve the King of Wei. If His Highness learns about this loyalty, wouldn’t he use it more seriously?"
Why did he invite Wenpin to drink last night?
Admire his reputation?
Or something.
But more importantly, we still need to use Wenpin’s identity to make contributions!
What kind of credit is it to surrender a city?
Taking Yanshou Tinghou and rebel general Wenpin to surrender, is this finally a meritorious service?
His Dou Xiao's certificate of submission was this Wenpin!
"Shameless villain!"
Wenpin tilted his head, obviously still angry.
"This is what I said. If you listen to what I said, you and I will work together for your highness in the future. I will apologize to you for what happened today. If you don't listen to what I said, there is no need to say more."
Dou Xiao waved his hand and said, "Take Wenpin out of the city!"
Zhi acridine~
Less than a quarter of an hour after the roaring outside the city stopped, the gate of Yin County City slowly opened.
On the side, Guan Yinping had a look of surprise on his face.
"Your Highness, the city gate has really been opened."
When did it become so easy to siege a city?
Although this Yin County is not a fortified city, if you want to capture it, how can it be captured without taking a few days and leaving thousands of corpses behind?
As a result, there was no need for any soldiers to take action!
Rang County, Champion, and then to Yin County.
so easy.
It was not like this when I saw my father attacking the city before.
Guan Yinping looked at Liu Chan, the admiration in his eyes gradually turning into love.
My husband is truly the best in the world.
At least he's much better than his father!
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and this guard is very eye-catching."
Wancheng was defeated, Xinye was broken again, Liu Chan's army was pressing down on Nanyang, and the Yin County defender was helpless. What else could he do besides surrender?
They are not the Cao family or the Xiahou family, and the food they eat is provided by the local people. There is no need to lose their lives for the so-called loyal ministers.
A salary of several hundred yuan, what kind of life do you want to play?
As far as the Nanyang nobles are concerned, most of these small town guards help whoever wins.
Coerced by the general trend, they had no choice but to surrender.
Dou Xiao escorted Wenpin, walked up to Liu Chan, and immediately bowed.
"The guilty general Dou Xiao, please pay homage to His Highness."
"No need to be polite, just get up. You are a meritorious official. What do you mean by a guilty general? Don't worry, I will tell you your merits. The reward will be given to you soon. You can still be the guard general of Yin County."
The relief calmed Dou Xiao's anxious heart.
"I will definitely die for His Highness in the future!"
Liu Chan nodded slightly, but fixed his gaze on Wenpin.
Wen Ping..
But a general!
Meng De’s family is still rich!
Anyone you pull out at random will be a famous general, but I, Mr. Liu, have to rely on persuading people to surrender to win over talents.
but...
No matter how rich a family is, there will be times when it fails. He, Liu Chan, is like the rising sun, but Meng De is like the setting sun, and his life is gloomy.
Now that Nanyang has been decided, the next step is to break out of Nanyang.
Cao Mengde, are you ready?
And Zhen Mi!
I, Mr. Liu, are here!
