Early the next morning, the army occupying Jiangxia set off.
Wenpin commanded an army of 30,000, and Huang Quan, the chief general of the Yufushui Army, commanded a navy of 10,000, totaling 40,000.
Go straight to Jiangxia County along the waterway.
Lu Xun went with the army as an envoy to persuade them to surrender.
When attacking Jiangxia County from the Yangtze River, the first place to attack was Xiakou, a dangerous pass.
Only by conquering Xiakou can the army truly set foot on the land of Jiangxia County.
The Qin army moved down the river and arrived at Xiakou in less than half a day.
At this moment, Wenpin and Huang Quan realized how wise Liu Zhang was.
Although Xiakou's military strength was only 3,000.
However, it is heavily guarded!
The Qin army numbered 40,000, but the navy only had 10,000 people.
It would be quite difficult to attack by force.
Fortunately, there were Lu Xun, the governor of Jiangxia and the governor of Jiangdong.
The defenders simply verified Lu Xun's identity and chose to surrender.
The Qin army captured Xiakou without any bloodshed and captured three thousand defenders.
Huang Quan imprisoned three thousand prisoners separately from the generals and treated them differently.
Three thousand soldiers were detained and their daily meals were not lacking.
The reason is also very simple, they are all natives of Jiangxia.
From this moment on, they belong to the people of Qin.
But the general is not from Jiangxia. Everyone above the rank of captain is from Jiangdong.
The luck of these Jiangdong people was not so good, and they were all imprisoned.
Lu Xun expressed dissatisfaction with this.
However, Huang Quan did not allow Lu Xun to express his opinions on the grounds that this was a matter of Qin State.
Lu Xun was helpless and didn't want to cause more trouble, so he could only endure it.
Later, Huang Quan personally led 10,000 naval troops to guard Xiakou and took custody of the prisoners.
Wenpin led 30,000 troops and went deep into Jiangxia with Lu Xun.
All the way to persuade them to surrender, Qin's army captured the entire territory of Jiangxia without even taking out its sword.
Some timid people took the initiative to open the city and surrender before Lu Xun could persuade them.
This is also the inevitable result.
Except for the two counties that defended Cao Cao, which had 2,500 people, the remaining county defenders ranged from 500 to 200.
Facing the countless Qin troops all over the mountains and plains, they couldn't even muster the desire to resist.
Even if it resists, the Qin army only needs to surround the city on all sides and can break the city in an instant.
In short, the recovery of Jiangxia County was extremely smooth.
Almost all the time was wasted on rushing along the way.
Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia County.
After taking all the cities, Wenpin moved all the prisoners except Xiakou to Xiling for stability.
Wenpin even personally led an army to garrison Xiling and personally guarded the prisoners.
The entire Jiangxia County was quickly cleared, and the entire county was replaced with the Qin-character banner.
After Lu Xun completed his mission, he submitted his resignation to Wenpin.
"General Wen, Jiangxia County belongs to you. Can you let me go now?"
Wenpin did not answer, but changed the topic.
"Captain Lu is a talented person in this world, why should he be trapped in a small Jiangdong?"
"Now the King of Qin personally leads an army of hundreds of thousands to the east, and he will soon rule the world! Why would Governor Lu choose the right tree?"
"Thank you, General Wen."
Lu Xun thanked him first, and then refused.
"Lu Xun is just a defeated general, not worth mentioning! He has a shallow talent, so he won't cause trouble to King Qin!"
"Please also ask General Wen to put him down and leave as soon as possible."
Wenpin waved his hand.
"Why should Governor Lu belittle himself?"
"I can see that King Qin loves Governor Lu very much!"
Lu Xun was a little unhappy.
The King of Qin had agreed to let him leave, so who was Wenpin to hold him captive?
"General Wen, if King Qin had not redeemed General Wen's family, would General Wen surrender?"
"you...!"
Wenpin frowned.
"I have good intentions to advise you, but you are so ignorant!"
Lu Xun sneered and cupped his hands.
"Thank you, General Wen, for your kindness. Please forgive me for not having the luck to bear with you!"
"Hmph! I don't know what's good and what's good!"
Wenpin roared angrily and waved to the front.
"Someone's coming."
"General Wen."
The soldier came over.
"Send five hundred soldiers to send him to Xiakou."
After saying this, Wenpin turned around and ignored him.
It was clear that he was too lazy to talk to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun smiled helplessly and chose to thank him.
"Thank you, General Wen."
Afterwards, he left the government office under the leadership of the soldiers.
Xiling is not too far from Xiakou.
It can be reached in one day and one night.
The soldiers escorting Lu Xun were very cautious and did not take more than one step at night.
In this way, at noon on the third day, we also arrived at Xiakou.
Huang Quan had already received the news and was here to greet him personally.
Lu Xun was terrified and at the same time extremely excited.
You can go down the river from Xiakou and return to Wujun in one day!
As long as you can return, all sacrifices are worth it!
"How could Lu Xun be so virtuous as to allow General Huang to greet him in person?"
Huang Quan took Lu Xun's hand cordially, full of kindness.
"Captain Lu is so polite!"
"Huang arranged a banquet in the camp specifically to welcome Governor Lu!"
"Thank you General Huang, it's just..."
Lu Xun thought for a while and decided to refuse.
"General Huang, I bear the important responsibility of the King of Qin, and I also need to rebuild the Qin-Wu alliance!"
"I won't finish the banquet. I also asked General Huang to send it to the next fast boat and return to Jiangdong as soon as possible."
Huang Quan's face darkened, a little angry.
"Why, Governor Lu didn't even give Huang this little noodle?"
Lu Xun couldn't help but twitch.
How can you say that you can change your face when you change your face?
"General Huang, it's not that I don't want to show you face, but I really want to return home as quickly as possible!"
Huang Quan had a frosty look on his face and let go of Lu Xun's arm.
"Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not!"
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers put their hands on their weapons.
He was ready to chop Lu Xun into pieces if he had any disagreement.
Lu Xun couldn't stop cursing in his heart, he was really a little drunk.
Is this Huang Quan crazy? Do you want to take action if you don’t eat?
But thinking about it on the other hand, if Huang Quan really killed him because he didn't eat a meal, Lu Xun wouldn't have anywhere to cry.
One hundred thousand troops were destroyed, and Jiangxia County was all in vain.
When it came time to be released, were you killed because you didn't give face?
Lu Xun must be the biggest grievance of all time!
Now put on a smile.
"Since General Huang is so kind, how dare Lu Xun refuse?"
"Everything depends on General Huang's arrangement!"
Huang Quan turned from anger to joy and put on a smile again.
Once again, Lu Xun showed what the ultimate face-changing speed is!
"Hahaha, Governor Lu is really happy!"
"please!"
Lu Xun curled his lips and quickly gave in.
"General Huang please!"
Huang Quan refused and kept pulling Lu Xun's arm.
"Captain Lu is a guest, Governor Lu invites you first!"
Lu Xun was really confused. He had never been so confused after living for so long.
If his life hadn't been in danger, he would have really wanted to give Huang Quan a big mouth and ask him what he wanted to do!
Of course, Lu Xun didn't dare and could only continue to be humble.
"General Huang please!"
"Captain Lu, please go first!"
"General Huang must be invited first!"
"Captain Lu..."
