Chapter 276: Soldiers enter the public security
Ling Tong personally led 3,000 soldiers of the pro-guard army to fight two battles in one night, and at the cost of more than 50 people lightly and seriously wounded by the pro-guard army, he destroyed the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army Zhang Hu in one fell swoop, and this battle beheaded more than 1,200 people and captured more than 3,600 people, which can be described as a complete victory.
Although Huarong County can also garrison troops, Huarong County is very close to Jiangling City, and there are 50,000 troops stationed in the area of Jiangling City.
If the Lingtong garrison is in Huarong County, when Wenping sends troops to fight for Huarong County, then Lingtong's 5,000 soldiers and horses will be besieged in Huarong County, and the situation will definitely be extremely bad!
On the contrary, the terrain in Huarong Road is dangerous, the road is also very narrow, and it is very difficult to attack, as long as the road is built to defend the crossing, the Jingzhou army will not be able to pass easily, Yuan Yao is also for this reason, will order Ling Tong to go down to the village, do not be greedy to save trouble and directly garrison the army in Huarong County.
After Ling Tong arrived here, he also realized Yuan Yao's foresight, Ling Tong had been fighting with the army for several years, he was not the kind of person who talked about the army on paper, so naturally he would not make the kind of mistake that Ma Jian made, and set up camp in the wrong place, after Ling Tong sent someone to report the victory to Yuan Yao, he began to escort the Jingzhou army to strengthen and expand the original Jingzhou army village, and let the sergeants transport the money, food, and ordnance in Huarong City back to the Huarong Dao camp.
……
Yuan Yao led the army to go upriver by boat, 35,000 land and water soldiers and horses went straight to Nanjun Gong'an City, although this way was against the current, fortunately, it was still a tailwind, plus the warships of Yuan Yao's fleet were all ships, much faster than ordinary pulp ships, Yuan Yao's army marched for two days, and finally arrived near Gong'an County.
Gong'an County is located in the south-central part of Jingzhou, the south of the Jianghan Plain, subordinate to Jingzhou South County, Gong'an City is located in the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, east of Jianghuai, west of Bashu, south of Jingnan, north of Xiangfan, and Yunmengze Plain with a strip of water, only dozens of miles away from Jiangling City, is the east gate of South County and the key to the waterway.
After Yuan Yao's army suddenly rose up and captured Jiangxia, Liu Biao, in order to guard against Yuan Yao, ordered Wen Ping and Wang Wei to lead a large army to garrison Nanjun to prevent Yuan Yao's army, and after Wen Ping and Wang Wei led the army to Nanjun, Wen Ping specially ordered the deputy general Wang Wei to personally bring 20,000 troops to garrison this place, which is enough to prove the importance of this place.
Wang Wei was born in a strong family, Liu Biao in order to limit the power of the Jingxiang clan represented by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, he used heroes such as Wang Wei and Lu Jie, Wang Wei is loyal and brave and good at fighting is a rare general under Liu Biao, and Liu Biao also attaches great importance to it.
In history, when Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other officials and generals of the Jingxiang clan coerced Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao, Wang Wei once offered advice to Liu Cong, saying: "Now the general has decided to surrender to Cao Cao, Liu Bei has also led the army to escape, and there is no longer the power to resist Cao Cao in Xiangyang, Cao Cao must be very lax at this time, and he will definitely come to Xiangyang with a light army in order to pursue Liu Bei as soon as possible; If you can give me thousands of strange soldiers, let me choose a dangerous place to ambush, I will definitely be able to capture Cao Cao in a battle, and then the general will be able to shock the world, and you can take advantage of this power to expand your power; This is a peerless opportunity, and the general must not miss it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it! ”
I have to say that Wang Wei's strategy still has some merit and the possibility of success, although Liu Cong had already planned to go out of the city to surrender, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others were also ready to surrender, but at that time the Cao army had not arrived, Xiangyang City and Jingzhou soldiers and horses were still in the hands of Jingzhou forces, if Liu Cong could capture Cao Cao in a battle, he could completely cut off the surrender of the Jingxiang clan in one fell swoop, and then expand his prestige and prestige.
At that time, Liu Cong may not have the possibility of overturning and controlling Jingzhou in one fell swoop, but unfortunately Liu Cong was too cowardly and finally did not have a plan to unify Wang Wei, and this matter could only be stopped, otherwise the affairs of the Three Kingdoms may not have new changes.
After Liu Cong officially surrendered to Cao, Cao Cao did not fulfill his previous promise to let Liu Cong stay in Jingzhou, but instead named him the Assassin of Qingzhou, keeping him away from the land of his ancestors.
At that time, Jingzhou's former ministers and generals all defected to Cao Cao in order to seek wealth, only Wang Wei led dozens of soldiers to follow Liu Cong, Cao Cao sent Liu Cong away, and ordered the forbidden troops to chase and kill Liu Cong to prevent future troubles. Yu Ban immediately led the army to catch up with Liu Cong and led the troops to encircle and suppress, Wang Wei saw this, so he led his troops to resist to the death, but unfortunately he was outnumbered, and finally killed by Yu Ban.
Wang Wei can be said to be the only loyal general among the generals of Jingzhou who is a loyal general of Liu's death, and he deserves the title of a loyal and brave general!
Wang Wei knew that Yuan Yao was ambitious, and he had already coveted the land of Jingzhou, so after garrisoning the public security city, he immediately began to rest and raise the city wall, and also built many arrow towers on the city wall to strengthen the city defense, and built many sentry posts along the Yangtze River to monitor Yuan Yao's army.
Yuan Yao couldn't help frowning a little after learning that the person stationed in the public security was Wang Wei, he knew that this person was cautious and loyal to people, and he was a rare loyal and brave general in Jingzhou, and sighed secretly: It seems that if you want to capture the public security city in this battle, I am afraid there will be many twists and turns! Fortunately, he only needs to contain the main force of the Jiangling Army, and he doesn't really need to capture the two cities of Gong'an and Jiangling, of course, it would be great if he could capture the Gong'an City and seize a foothold!
Yuan Yao's military strength is strong, and Wang Wei is not as arrogant as Guan Yu, his troops are extremely cautious, and he did not leave Yuan Yao with a chance to use strange tricks, so Yuan Yao did not learn the drama of Lu Meng's white clothes crossing the river to take Jingzhou, but after approaching the public security, he ordered the navy to continue to go up the river, and the pro-guard army landed and marched all the way to sweep the Jingzhou army's riverside outposts, and more than 30,000 troops went straight to the public security city to kill.
Under the attack of Yuan Yao's army on land and water, the Jingzhou army post was not defended at all, and was constantly attacked by Yuan Yao's army, and the speed of Yuan Yao's army was still extremely fast!
After seeing Yuan Yao's army, the sergeant of the Jingzhou army post hurriedly asked people to go to Wang Wei to convey the news, and when Yuan Yao's army swept the Jingzhou army all the way, Wang Wei also got the news that Yuan Yao's army had been killed, and hurriedly summoned the generals to come to discuss the matter.
