On this day, under the afterglow of the sunset, the blue banner of the Chu army was finally firmly planted on the city wall, and it was never cut off or pulled down.

The Han army continued the decline of the Battle of Xishui, and Huang Zu and the Chu army were defeated in several battles, losing their troops and losing their generals. Although there was the full support of the Jiangxia family, the Han army was divided and the morale of the army was weakened, and in turn, the Chu army slowly formed an absolute advantage.

On the same day, Gan Ning killed Deng Long and Zhang Shuo, and the first thing Zhang Xun did after returning to the camp was to worship Gan Ning as the general of the Chu army. This is already the biggest reward that Zhang Xun can officially give to Gan Ning, compared to the real-name generals that Zhang Xun promised to Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, it is still half virtual and half real, in fact, it has to be approved by the Taiwei and Zhang Xiu's permission. This also means that Zhang Xun officially accepted Gan Ning on behalf of the Chu army and became a member of the Chu army.

Gan Ning didn't care about Chu Jun's lukewarmness to him before, after all, it was normal and understandable. As long as your hard work pays off in the end, it's all worth it. Compared with the situation under Huang Zu, Huai Cai was suspicious, meritorious but punished, Gan Ning was already very satisfied.

The Chu army showed confidence, so they rushed to attack Xiling City for half a month. Xiling is also considered to be the high pool of the upper city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so how can Huang Zu make one after another. At the beginning, he first asked Zhang Yun, who commanded the water division, for help, and waited for Zhang Yun to lead his troops to help, but he was afraid that the Chu army would not dare to go out of the city, so that Zhang Xun led his troops to defeat Zhang Yun's army, and sent the Chu army a victory.

Waiting for the city to be tight, Huang Zu sent someone to Zhang Yun to report the emergency, but this time it was intercepted by the Chu army halfway, so Lu Meng, who confronted Zhang Yun in the river, was combined with Zhang Xun, and Lu Meng led 3,000 elite soldiers to wear Han army clothes and armor and pretend to be Zhang Yun's soldiers, rushed to Xiling City to deceive and open the city gate, and rushed in to meet Zhang Xun's department, and finally broke Xiling City.

There are several Jiangxia generals such as Zhang Wu, Chen Chen, and Ganning, and it is not difficult for Lu Meng, who knows more or less about the situation of the Han army, to deceive Xiling City, and after entering the city, Lu Meng also attacked and beheaded Huang Zu's general Chen Zhuo, and his performance was perfect.

Gan Ning also performed well in this battle, relying on his familiarity with the layout of the city, leading his troops to rush left and right to stir up the chaos of the Korean army, and coincidentally met Huang Zu who only had more than ten personal guards around him, Huang Zu wanted to leave with his back, but was finally caught up by Gan Ning and shot directly.

Zhang Xun led a large group of soldiers and horses into the city, drove straight to the Taishou Mansion and the granary arsenal, and directly captured Su Fei and other Han generals. And Zhang Wu and Chen Sun entered the city to kill and plunder, and they did not let go of the family in Xiling City. Fortunately, these two people are not murderous people and know how to restrain themselves. It's just that they killed all the wealthy families who usually have grievances with them, and these wealthy families are also the part that supports Huang Zu the most, and if they are killed, they will be killed.

Xiling City fell, and Zhang Yun over there did not have much desire to save him at this time. It was just a symbolic dispatch of warships to attack the Chu army sailors on the river, pretending to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, but immediately after the fall of the city, the whole army retreated.

Only five days after the fall of Jiangxia, the Korean messenger from Jiangling brought the letter of invitation and peace written by Liu cousin to Xiling City, Zhang Xunbu did not have the strength to continue the march, so according to Lu Su's words, while making a false and wrongful snake, he sent the war report and the Korean letter table to Zhang Xiu.

When Zhang Xunxin rode to Nanchang City, it happened that Zhang Xiu had already entered Nanchang City. In the first battle of the coast of Ganshui, the great king Sun Quan was captured, the general Cheng Pu was beheaded by the Chu army, the prime minister Zhang Zhao was directly captured, and the 70,000 main force of the Wu army was wiped out, and the Wu army had lost all the capital to fight head-on with the Chu army. And what the Chu army paid in this battle was only the price of General Li Tong being wounded and about 10,000 dead and wounded.

The Chu army's thunderbolts and new-style ballistas still did not come in handy, while the Chu army was still resting, the Wu army's main general Lu Fan was in charge of his own affairs, and led the Wu army in the city to only protect Sun Lang, Sun Shao and a few other Sun Quan's younger brothers and the Sun clan, and rushed out of the Chu army that had not been tightly besieged.

Zhang Xiu also did not send elite troops such as the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, which had experienced the most tragic part of the battle, to intercept and pursue, but only sent light cavalry to chase after him. However, it also achieved a lot of results, capturing Yu Fu and other civil officials of the Wu State who were not good at riding horses.

The remnants of the Wu army, who had fled to the denser mountains and forests south of Yuzhang to fight a guerrilla war with the Chu army, were no longer in trouble, and Sun Quan, who was in prison, had finally lost all confidence and courage to oppose Zhang Xiu. Because before the results of the Battle of Ganshui spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, Jingnan came with news that was extremely beneficial to the Chu State.

Zhang Yi became self-reliant again.

Zhang Xian, Zhang Yi, father and son, who represent the interests of the natives of Jingnan and the small and medium-sized powerful landlords, and Sun Wu do not have a fundamental checkpoint, and the attachment is also a temporary necessity. Without Cheng Pu's seat, with the support of the Changsha army, most of the counties of Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang rebelled against Sun Wu and supported his Zhang Yi as the main leader.

When the news of the Chu army's victory over the Wu army and the capture of Sun Quan and the capture of Nanchang arrived, Zhang Yi immediately chose to hand Zhang Xiu a request to surrender without hesitation!

Joke, it's a fool who thinks that only capturing Yuzhang is the goal of Zhang Xiu's campaign, the purpose of Chu must be to occupy the entire south of the Yangtze River, otherwise the army of half the country will be dispatched for the territory of one county and two counties?

And the delusion of going against the state of Chu is even more of a big joke. Not to mention that there are many generals in the Chu State, let's just say that in the four counties of Jingnan, the main soldiers have been recruited by Cheng Pu, so how can the remaining old and weak fight? On the contrary, Wuxi Man and other Shanyue tribes are a combat force, but the facts are already in front of them, and Wuxi Man will have an advantage in the face of ordinary soldiers, and the bear and tiger soldiers of Chu State will only have to be deflated.

Think about it again, if you give up the four counties of Jingnan, then the Chu army can immediately dominate the south of the Yangtze River, from the entire territory of the Eastern Han Empire in the past, it can be said that it has occupied half of the country, and it is natural to compete in the world in the future. Anyway, my family has no grudges with Zhang Xiu, and there were friendly exchanges before this, Zhang Xiu was able to attack Jiangdong from Sun Ce, and my father and son are also indirectly meritorious! When the dynasty is established in the future, maybe he will be a meritorious minister.

Moreover, although the state of Chu strictly restricted land annexation, compared with the restrictions on small and medium-sized landlords, the suppression of wealthy families was even worse, almost to the extent that it did not allow them to exist. Such a national policy is definitely an acceptable result for the current ruling class in Jingnan.

So Zhang Yi decisively surrendered, Zhang Xiu was not stingy, and under the great joy, he directly gave Zhang Yi a third-class lord, that is, the eighteenth-class lord of the twentieth class meritorious lord, and gave him the title Xiangxiang Bo. Zhang Yi thus became the first earl of Zhang Chu Liguo.

The day after Zhang Yi's surrender table was delivered, Sun Quan also posted a surrender table in the same book in the prison, in the name of King Wu, representing the surrender of Wu to Chu!

On the third day, Sun Quan's surrender table was copied into countless copies, distributed in the counties of Yuzhang, and conveyed to Jingnan, Jiangdong and other places. However, regarding Sun Quan's disposal, Zhang Xiu decided to bring it back to Shouchun to discuss.

As for the remnants of Lu Fan, Sun Ben, Sun Fu and others who fled to Yuzhang, Nanluling County and other mountainous and forested places, Zhang Xiu didn't bother to clean up in person. It was Feng Tai Shici who was the governor of the thief capital, who stayed in the Hengjiang camp and was responsible for encircling and suppressing Lu Fan, Sun Ben and other departments. And let Hua Xin have the right to lead the affairs of Yuzhang, and temporarily leave Jiangnan as the Taishou of Yuzhang. and Tai Shici with one article and one martial arts, and collected the lands in the south of the Yangtze River.

The most debatable thing finally came, in the face of Liu Biao's invitation and letter sent by Zhang Xun, Zhang Xiu was unable to make a decision for a while.
