After winning the first battle, Chang Yuchun went to Nanxiang in a battle. All the Chu troops in Nanxiang, including Gao Xiang, Gao Ba, and Zhang Cun, were killed. Six thousand Chu troops died in the battle, and three thousand were killed. The rest were killed by Chang Yuchun and Chang Mao. Captured by father and son.
However, although Chang Yuchun was more murderous, he did not attack these prisoners easily this time.
Chang Yuchun is not stupid. The people he killed before were all Qiang soldiers, and the scale was only that small. But this time they were Han people, and there were still 3,000 of them. If all of them were massacred without reason, he would not be able to deal with such a big thing with his current official position.
After that, Chang Yuchun joined Dou Xian, A Shu, Wang Baobao, Huo Qubing and others who had just arrived. The 100,000-strong army swept through several counties around Nanxiang while advancing towards Wancheng.
At the same time, Yue Fei came out of Guangcheng Pass, with Huang Feihu as the vanguard, went down to Pheasant County in a battle, and marched mightily towards Wancheng, the important place in Nanyang.
In the Wancheng County government office, Deng Yu received the news and immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters. Deng Yu was sitting on the main seat, wearing armor. He was about thirty years old, with a thin appearance and three long strands of beard under his chin. , but it looks majestic.
Now, in Nanyang, Deng Yu is the main general, Wen Zhong and Du Yan are the assistants, and the rest are Liu Pan, Fu Kuang, Ji Li, Yu Qing, Xin Huan, Deng Zhong, Zhang Jie, Tao Rong, and Liu Long , Geng Chun, Huo Jun, Liu Xian, Fu Xun, Song Zhong, Mou Rong and a series of civil and military officials.
In the past few years, Liu Xiu has suppressed Liu Yu and successfully ascended to the throne of Chu King. As for Liu Yu, although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only tolerate it for the time being in the face of the general trend.
As for Wu Han, Deng Xia, Wu Zhiqi and other generals, they were transferred to other places. After all, Yuan Shu's place has stabilized in recent years, and there is no need to station most of the generals here. In recent years, they have become more wary of the South.
"General, the Jin army sent troops to attack us, but what should we do now?" A second-rate military general in the hall asked with his hands over his hands. It seems that the strongest force in the world is attacking them, which is really a deterrent to these people.
"Why panic!" Deng Yu shouted dissatisfied. These people were already panicking before the enemy actually came to the city.
"General Wen, look at it this way!" Deng Yu turned to look at Wen Zhong.
Deng Yu was Liu Xiu's confidant, loyal to Liu Xiu, and capable. In contrast, the relationship between Wen Zhong and Liu Xiu is relatively unsatisfactory.
In addition, although Liu Yu was suppressed, he had not disappeared from this world after all, and Wen Zhong had fought side by side with Liu Yu for many years, which still could not really reassure Liu Xiu. Therefore, Deng Yu became the commander-in-chief of Nanyang.
However, although it was difficult to completely rest assured about the veteran Wen Zhong, Liu Xiu would never abandon such a general. Therefore, Wenzhong became Deng Yu's deputy general. Liu Xiu even asked Deng Yu to consult with Wen Zhong more often if he encountered major events.
"Although Yue Fei is not as famous as Bai Qi, Su Lie, Xue Rengui and others in the Jin army, after all, he is the governor of the same state as Bai Qi and others, and his military skills are definitely not bad. Besides, the old Xiang Yan was But he died in the battle with Yue Fei!" Wen Zhong said with some seriousness.
Hearing this, everyone in the tent couldn't help but become serious. They had never dealt with Yue Fei directly. But for Xiang Yan, many of them had fought with him in Jiangxia many years ago.
It is true that Yue Fei's achievements cannot be compared with those of Bai Qi, Su Lie and others who shined in the Yongliang War a few years ago, but with Wen Zhong's reminder, the generals could not help but feel that Yue Fei was not simple.
"Although Chang Yuchun in the west is an unknown person, judging from the battle in Nanxiang, this person is quite experienced in using troops! If Gao Xiang insists on fighting to the death, although the Jin army can win in that battle, it will definitely not lose much. few.
However, Chang Yuchun deliberately let Gao Xiang go, and then pursued him, placing the battle location at the most advantageous place for the Jin cavalry. He defeated the 6,000 Nanxiang defenders with the loss of only a few hundred men. This shows that People use their talents as soldiers. "Wenzhong said again.
Only when they truly understand how powerful their enemies are can they be 200% vigilant and not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of them. Therefore, Wen Zhong was the first to say such words to increase the prestige of the enemy.
"In addition, the enemy's army is several times larger than mine. From my point of view, we are invincible. We must ask for help from the lord as soon as possible! Furthermore, it is normal for the princes to join forces vertically and horizontally.
The Jin army is occupying the land of the five states, with generals like clouds, counselors like rain, and hundreds of thousands of armored men. With my strength in the north of Jing, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support a single tree. We need to unite with the princes of the world as soon as possible to use the power of the princes to weaken the Jin. , strengthen yourself! "Wen Zhong talked eloquently.
After Wen Zhong's long speech, Deng Yu couldn't help but nod secretly. He also admired Wen Zhong's talent. The Jin army is so powerful that they cannot resist it. If they cannot ask the princes of the world to help, even if they can stop it this time, they will never be able to stop it the next time.
However, Deng Yu was more of a counselor than a general, and he looked at the problem from a different perspective.
"It's difficult to unite the princes of the world!" Deng Yu sighed bitterly in his heart.
Among the princes in the world, each has his own interests and ideas, and the princes of the Liu family have deep hatred against the Xiang family, Chi You and Qingzhou, Xiang family and Zhu Yuanzhang, Qin Zheng and Liu family, Xiang family, etc. It's not that easy to unite!
As for these princes, if you meet them, it would be good if you don't fight each other directly first. If you want to work together to fight the enemy, unless it is really a critical moment of life and death!
Moreover, if the princes of the world unite, the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu will be a big problem. In other words, if the princes of the world want to unite, Yuan Shu must first be eliminated.
Among the princes in the world, except for those who rebelled against the king at the beginning, the other princes, although they are all ambitious, as long as they do not officially declare rebellion for a day, they will still be the ministers of the Han and will still be enemies of the false emperor. , this is a political position and cannot be changed.
Just imagine, if the princes of the world unite and want to fight against the Jin army, the most likely way is to install a Han thief on the other side and carry out the name of Qingjun. If such an alliance included the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, wouldn't it become a joke from the beginning!
Therefore, if the princes of the world want to form an alliance, Yuan Shu will definitely be kicked out. As for the alliance of princes in the world against the Jin army, it is impossible to ignore Yuan Shu.
Otherwise, with Yuan Shu's strength, if he really wanted to cause some damage at this time, it would be a trouble for any prince. The best way is to destroy Yuan Shu directly from the beginning.
