Chapter 267: Enter the sky, Zhang Ji came to see him
Sun Jian left a calm and trusting general, Han Dang, and Lu Zhi to defend Lujiang City.
He brought 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Huang Gai, Ling Cao, Sun Tong, and Li Chong, divided into front, middle and rear teams, and the front team was dominated by 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers led by Sun Jian himself.
At the same time, of course, Chu Yi also knew the truth of this, and he only took Zhao Yun, Yue Xi, Yu Qi and other generals and 30,000 tiger cavalry, walked through the official roads of other counties, and quickly marched towards Tianyang City.
Success or failure is here!
Jiangdong is good at water warfare, the water army and the infantry army are first-class in the world, but the cavalry is far inferior to the southern Xinjiang, and today's southern Xinjiang war cavalry has been called the world's four major cavalry with the Xiliang iron cavalry, the Tianyou iron cavalry, and the state wolf cavalry.
Not to mention the soldiers' formation, just talking about the war horses and armor, southern Xinjiang has a great advantage, and this operation is still the tiger cavalry selected from the southern Xinjiang war cavalry, including the tiger guard who is responsible for guarding Chu Yi, all of which are selected, which shows its elite.
The war horses roared, and they marched through the layers of checkpoints along the dry road towards Tianyang City.
In the past, after conquering the counties of Lujiang, he still did not dare to go deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong because Tianyang City was the oldest and strongest city in Jiangdong.
In the end, Sun Jian was still a little slower, he underestimated the tiger rider in southern Xinjiang too much, coming and going like the wind, and the tiger rider in southern Xinjiang who was as fierce as a dragon created too many earth-shattering miracles.
When the flag of the king of Chu was flying under Tianyang City, Sun Jian disappeared, and Zhou Yu was close to him, so he could reach the vicinity of the city.
The July sun was still extremely hot, but the wind was slightly cooler.
Chu Yi stepped on the horse and sang a long song, looked at Tianyang City close at hand, looked up to the sky and laughed, and departed happily.
"Hahaha! Heaven helps this king also! That is, if the sky is raised, within ten days, Jiangdong will be overturned! ”
After several days and nights of running, even the iron-like soldiers in southern Xinjiang were a little tired, but in the cool breeze, the bloodshot eyes were still much better, and the ancient city in front of them made all the soldiers even more excited!
Hua Rong in the city also got the situation, and the heart that had been hanging finally fell, and he had been very worried in the past few days since Liao Hua left, you know, he was only five or six thousand people when he was full, and it was extremely difficult to maintain order in the city.
Although Jiangdong has always belonged to the Sun family, Jiangdong is not as loyal to Chu Yi as in southern Xinjiang, and there are many inherited families mixed in the middle, especially in Tianyang City, there are more than a few families with thousands of private soldiers! Their loyalty to the lords of the past generations is not the kind of one that loses everything.
It can be seen how worried Hua Rong is, after occupying Tianyang City, he doesn't have much rest time every day, because except for him, no one can suppress those old guys in Tianyang City.
Chu Yi rode into the city, and also saw Hua Rong's tired demeanor, Chu Yi patted Hua Rong's shoulder with relief, and said in a deep voice: "General Hua has worked hard!" Hurry up and go down and rest, the city wall defense will be replaced by Zilong for the time being, and those clans who put pressure on you, this king will visit them one by one! ”
"Lord!"
Hua Rongbai fell to the ground, bowed his head and answered in a deep voice, with sustenance, he could no longer hold on.
Chu Yi ordered the left and right to help Huarong go to rest, and after calling Zhao Yun to hand over the city wall defense, he led the army into the city.
Chu Yi naturally knew Zhou Yu's whereabouts, and he was already not far from Tianyang City, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to rest for a while, recuperate their spirits, and prepare for the next big battle.
It was Chu Yi himself, who also went to the mansion to rest, and even the captured Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others, he was not in the mood to meet, let alone those clans, the clans that once made Chu Yi annoyed and fearful, but now Chu Yi disdains it.
The Danyang soldiers led by Zhou Yu were able to defeat the elite of Buyun's Eastern Wilderness in the Southern Frontier, and their strength should not be underestimated, that is, Chu Yi, who had great confidence in the Tiger Horse, also gave Zhou Yu the greatest respect.
Chu Yi and the others were resting comfortably, but they could suffer from the big families in Tianyang City, Chu Yi entered the city, but there was no movement for a long time, which made them extremely frightened.
If they want to return to Chu Yi, they are very reluctant, no one wants to put their fate in the hands of others, release the soldiers, hand over the land, and accept the investigation, in their opinion, this is the inheritance passed down from their ancestors, how can they just hand it over.
But they are also afraid of the cold-blooded soldiers in southern Xinjiang, since Chu Yi debuted, have there been fewer children of the world clan, no matter who dares to resist, no matter how much he kills, there are not a few of the three clans.
They were afraid, so they didn't act rashly after Hua Rong attacked Tianyang City, because they didn't know who would arrive in Tianyang City next, and Hua Rong was also extremely cautious, even if they wanted to take action, the chance of success was not very great.
Although Chu Yi did not implement any strategy against them after entering the city, but only strengthened the defense of the city lord's mansion and the city wall, they knew that it was just that Chu Yi didn't have time to play with them now, and as soon as the rear army arrived, it would be time to settle accounts.
The first family in the city recommended the Zhang family, and the Jiangnan Kuai family, are famous Confucian scholars, the people in the clan are the officials on behalf of the people, inherited to this day, there are also the old man of the Zhang family Zhang Ji is famous in the four seas, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao brothers are the dominant Jiangdong civil officials.
Chu Yi rested for a moment and then came to his senses.
Yue Xi came to report: "Lord, during the rest of the independent father, the head of the Zhang family waited outside the mansion and wanted to see the lord. ”
Chu Yi thought about it for a moment and chuckled: "This old guy is really smart and decisive, bring him in." ”
Yue Xi got the order and brought the head of the Zhang family into the palace, Chu Yi wore a luxurious black shirt, a crown on his head, and sat on the main seat, majestic and domineering.
Especially the iron-blooded murderous aura that has been on the battlefield for a long time makes Zhang Ji even more worried.
"Zhang Ji of the Zhang family, meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
Zhang Ji's beard is white, but he is energetic, neither humble nor arrogant, and has a majestic and rigorous demeanor.
"What is the important matter for you to come to see this king?" Chu Yi spoke indifferently.
Zhang Ji bowed and bowed again, and said in a harmonious voice: "The Zhang family is willing to return the private land, release the family soldiers, and restrain the children of the clan from now on, and concentrate on learning martial arts and literature. ”
"If today Yangcheng is in the hands of this king, and my 500,000 troops of Dachu are in Jiangdong, and the Sun family can be destroyed if you turn over your hands, you and other clans, whether you are born or destroyed, between the king's thoughts, where will the capital negotiate?"
Zhang Ji heard Chu Yi's indifferent tone, and also knew that Chu Yi was blaming the Zhang family for funding Sun Jian, and was eyeing Hua Rong after entering the city.
"Tianyong Zhang family and my Tianyang Zhang family were originally their own family, and now the Zhang family and the Lin family work together for His Royal Highness, doing their best, being loyal, and I hope His Royal Highness will look at the face of the Tianyong Zhang clan brother......"
Zhang Ji saw Chu Yi groaning, didn't wait for Chu Yi's reply, and said: "My Zhang family history is based on Tianyang, and I know a secret about the garrison of Tianyang City, since ancient times, after the construction of Tianyang City, only the history of the assassin knows, it is the ancestor of my Zhang family who coincidentally learned that it was passed down from generation to generation, and it can help His Highness capture Sun Jian......"
Chu Yi's expression was solemn, he looked at Zhang Ji, and nodded: "If you can really help this king capture Sun Jian, not to mention the exemption from investigation, those private lands are rewarded with your Zhang family!" ”
