Chapter 1417: Han Shizhong surrenders to Qin
Since Zhang Xian and Han Xuan died in battle, Han Xuan's sons Han Shizhong and Han Yuanji, Zhang Xian's generals Wu Liuqi and Su Can, although they have never given up resistance, more people have chosen to surrender, allowing Liu Xiu to easily unify the 48 counties of the four counties of Jingnan.
After Liu Xiu unified Jingnan, he sent troops to suppress the remaining resistance elements on the one hand, and vigorously co-opted and divided the remnants of Zhang Xian on the other.
In the end, Wu Liuqi also chose to surrender to Liu Xiu, and united with Liu Xiu's general Gan Ning to raid the martial arts training department.
Su Can's army was defeated, fled in defeat, and led the remnants of the army of nearly 100 people to take refuge in Han Shizhong.
After Han Shizhong took in Su Can, he immediately led 500 cavalry and 1,000 sailors under his command, taking advantage of Wu Liuqi's great victory, he stepped on the camp of Liu Xiujun all night, killed 1,200 enemies and left.
When Liu Xiu's cavalry arrived, Han Shizhong's cavalry had already boarded the boat, and ten large ships carrying five hundred horsemen escaped into the eight-hundred-mile Yunmengze, that is, Dongting Lake.
Gan Ningyi didn't know the location of Han Shizhong's base, and the number of sailors in the second-hand was insufficient, so he didn't dare to pursue easily, so he only looked at the ship and sighed.
Yun Mengze, on a certain island, Han Shizhong, who had just hit Liu Xiujun, and his subordinates were stationed on this small island, and used it as a base to attack all parts of Liu Xiu's command, causing damage to Liu Xiu's Jingnan.
"It's so exciting, it's so exciting."
Han Shizhong drank a big bowl of wine in one gulp, he had not fought such a happy battle for a long time, in the battle with Liu Xiu, even if he personally led the army, he still lost more than he won in the face of Liu Xiu, and only in the water war could he be sure of winning.
But since Gan Ning surrendered to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiujun's water warfare ability has increased greatly, even if it is Han Shizhong's best water warfare, there is no absolute certainty that he can win Liu Xiu.
And under Liu Xiujun's continuous encirclement and suppression, the elite soldiers in Han Shizhong's hands became bigger and fewer, and the scope of activities became narrower and narrower, until he was confined to both sides of Yunmengze, if it weren't for Yue Fei and Huang Zu's support, Han Shizhong might not have been able to hold on for a long time.
"General Su Can, thank you for giving the general a big victory fighter, come to this bowl of wine and pay tribute to you."
Han Shizhong held the wine bowl high, while Su Can smiled bitterly: "The fighter plane was found by Gongzi himself, and the last general is just a general of a defeated army, and Gongzi is already grateful to take him in." ”
"Haha, General Su is too modest."
Han Shizhong laughed and drank the wine, and asked with a smile, "I wonder what the general's plans are in the future?" If you don't think that the temple is small, the general can stay as a deputy general. ”
"The last general is willing to serve the general."
"Okay."
Han Shizhong was suddenly overjoyed, since Han Xuan's death, the generals who originally belonged to the Changsha Army either surrendered or died in battle, and Han Shizhong had no one available at all, so it was naturally impossible to let go of Su Can, a general.
Han Shizhong didn't expect Su Can to stay, after all, with Su Can's strength and fame, no matter which way the princes took refuge, they would definitely be treated favorably, but he didn't expect that because of his favor, he would stay in this Yun Mengze and be a 'water bandit' with him Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong got Su Can and was about to celebrate, but at this moment, his younger brother Han Yuanji came in with a gloomy face.
"Second brother, you're back."
Han Shizhong greeted him with a smile and asked, "How is it?" This trip to Jiangxia, do you want to bring grain and grass? ”
"I promised to give 2,000 stones, but this time I only gave 1,000 stones."
Han Shizhong looked unimpressed, and said: "It's enough for emergencies, it's a big deal to wait for it when it's not enough, just go and ask for it."
Huang Zu and Yue Fei both want our people to work hard with Liu Xiu, and there will definitely be no shortage of our food and grass. ”
A trace of helplessness flashed in Han Yuanji's eyes, and he said: "Big brother, if it's just a matter of grain and grass, it's fine, but the key is that when the younger brother went to Jiangxia this time and asked Yue Fei's envoy for equipment, Yue Fei's envoy also told the junior brother an important piece of information about Liu Xiujun. ”
Han Shizhong's face was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is it?" ”
"Liu Xiu has already given an order, ordering Gan Ning to order 10,000 sailors, Peng Cen to lead 20,000 infantry troops, and the waterway soldiers to encircle and suppress our army, and there is no cap on the strength of the troops, Liu Xiu has made up his mind to get rid of us."
"What?"
Han Shizhong's face was shocked, he didn't have more than 3,000 troops in his hands, so he could only play sneak attacks, and he didn't dare to fight Liu Xiu head-on, this time Liu Xiu sent 30,000 troops to encircle and suppress him at the beginning, it can be seen that he will not give up if he is not destroyed.
With Han Shizhong's mere 3,000 remnants, even if Yue Fei and Huang Zu provided support, how could they resist Liu Xiu's tens of thousands of troops?
"It seems that this Yun Mengze is not down, and it's time to leave." Han Shizhong sighed.
Han Yuanji's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he asked, "Big brother, where are we going to take refuge in the princes?" ”
Han Shizhong asked rhetorically: "Which prince gave the extra weight?" ”
If Han Shizhong took refuge all the way, it was naturally impossible to go alone, but to go with his 3,000 subordinates, so if he didn't give enough benefits to win over, how could he show his sincerity in winning over Han Shizhong?
"At present, there are seven princes who have won over us, namely: Sun Jian, Liu Xuan, Lu Kang of Jiangdong, Huang Zu of Jiangxia, Zhao Kuangyin of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu of Huainan, and Qin Hao of Qin."
Han Shizhong, with extremely inferior troops, fought Liu Xiu several times in Jingnan, and is still alive today, which shows his ability to lead the army.
For an opposition general like Han Shizhong, and he also controls an army of 3,000 people, the major princes naturally want to recruit him under their command.
"Yuan Shu, Liu Xuan, Huang Zu, and Lu Kang can already be directly ruled out, Yuan Shu and Liu Xuan are already yesterday's yellow flowers, and Huang Zu and Lu Kang's strength is too weak, and there is not much room for development, so taking refuge in these four princes is tantamount to seeking their own death.
As for Zhao Kuangyin, Sun Jian and Qin Hao, Zhao Kuangyin promised that as long as the eldest brother led the army to take refuge, he could be described as the governor of the Song army and the navy.
Zhao Kuangyin is full of sincerity on the surface, but the Song army is located inland, and there is no water army at present, and if you want to develop a water army, I am afraid that you will have to wait for the annexation of Yuan Shu and the Jianghuai water system, but who knows when it will be?
Sun Jian promised that as long as the eldest brother was willing to take refuge in the army, the position of deputy governor of Wu Jun and the Navy would be the eldest brother's, and he was also very sincere, so you can consider it, eldest brother.
As for Qin Gong Qin Hao......"
After mentioning Qin Hao, Han Yuanji hesitated for a moment and continued: "He didn't promise any official position to the eldest brother, but he promised that he would definitely help us avenge the murder of our father, and you can also consider it, eldest brother." ”
A hint of discoloration flashed in Han Shizhong's eyes, and he said firmly: "Don't think about it, let's go and take refuge in the Qin army." ”
