Chapter 101: Capture Fanyang City
"Liu Taishou, don't open the city gate!" Behind Liu Xun, a large group of people walked over. There are county lieutenants, chief bookkeepers, and county officials of Lujiang County, as well as clans and generals of Fanyang City.
There was also a well-behaved scribe dressed in Confucian robes.
If Lu Bu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this well-looking scribe was none other than Cao Cao's Yilang Huaxin.
"Liu Taishou, now Yuan Shu is defeated, Yangzhou will change hands, do you think, is Lu Bu going to Yangzhou? Or the imperial court? Hua Xin asked.
Liu Xun avoided answering.
Hua Xin continued: "The prime minister's army has occupied most of Yangzhou, and is about to fight with Lu Bu, Lu Bu has few soldiers, and it is difficult to resist. ”
"If you don't surrender, don't blame me for being rude!" The generals of the great families drew their swords sonorously.
Outside the city, Xiang Yu was still waiting.
Because the weather was too hot and tired, Xiang Yu's temper also became hot, and he yelled angrily: "Have you finished talking nonsense, quickly open the city gate." ”
"Okay, I promise to surrender to the court." On the city tower, Liu Xun finally made a statement.
"Okay, Liu Taishou is worthy of being a person who knows current affairs, I will definitely turn the prime minister and ask for credit for you." Hua Xin smiled.
"Thank you."
Liu Xun is also very helpless, in the entire Fanyang City, there are people from the big families, and all the heads of the families have unanimously decided to take refuge in Cao Cao, if he does not agree, he will be killed.
"What now? Is it to drive Xiang Yu away? Or let him in? Liu Xun asked.
Han Shuiyi, the head of the Han family, said: "Of course you have to drive Xiang Yu away. Please Liu Taishou lead the army out of the city.... ”
"Xiang Yu is brave and invincible, am I his opponent?" Of course Liu Xun refused. Even Yuan Shu's 200,000 army couldn't stop Xiang Yu, so what virtue could he have?
What Liu Taishou said was very true. Although Xiang Yu's army was tired, it was brave and unmatched, and it should not be underestimated. Hua Xin thought for a while and said, "It's better to let him in and kill him!" Ladies and gentlemen, that's a great achievement. The prime minister has always been afraid of Xiang Yu, if he can send Xiang Yu's head to the prime minister, the prime minister will have a heavy reward! ”
Han Shuiyi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go and arrange an ambush, and tell Xiang Yu to get in, but I can't get out." ”
"Yes, yes... Let's go too. Many family heads hurriedly followed Han Shuiyi, for fear that Han Shuiyi would rob the credit.
Liu Xun hesitated and sent troops to go.
In fact, he wanted to take refuge in Lu Bu, because Lu Bu was strong, brave and unmatched, and Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba, if he won Yangzhou again, he would be the biggest prince in the Central Plains.
But the times forced him to take refuge in Cao Cao.
Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xun shouted, "General Xiang, please enter the city." ”
"General, there must be an ambush in the city, don't enter lightly." A centurion stepped forward and reminded Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu said: "Even you can see it, can I not see it?" The centurion was ordered to enter the city, and after entering the city, they fought separately and assembled in the northern city. ”
"No."
Although the people in the broken barracks were sleepy, they still had the determination to win with Xiang Yu.
Titicaca...
The city gate was opened, and the broken military camp slowly entered.
After entering the city, according to Xiang Yu's intentions, they were divided into fifty troops, led by the centurions, and ran to different streets. Due to the small number of people in each department, they ran as fast as the wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Liu Xun secretly said something bad. Hurry into the city to discuss with Hua Xin.
"Strange. What does Xiang Yu want to do? ”
"He must have guessed that there would be an ambush in the city, so he broke it into pieces and tested our army." Hua Xin analyzed.
"So what now?"
"Hold your ground for now. See how he does it. ”
............
Half an hour later, the broken army camp assembled in Beicheng and killed 3,000 garrisons in Beicheng.
After running down in a circle, Xiang Yu knew the terrain in the city well, and after careful consideration, he led all the departments to kill the county guard's mansion, and slaughtered the county guard's mansion up and down.
Including Liu Xun's father, four wives and concubines, and two sons, none of them were spared.
After receiving the report, Liu Xun led his army to the county guard's mansion and happened to run into Xiang Yu's army. After a battle, the county soldiers of Lujiang County suffered all the casualties, and Liu Xun was chased by Xiang Yu with no way to escape and committed suicide.
After dealing with Liu Xun, the broken military camp was once again broken into pieces and prepared to assemble in Xicheng.
The purpose of the trip is twofold.
The first is the massacre of large households. Anyone who sees a courtyard with high walls, no matter what their identity or background, will be killed if they rush in.
The second is to snatch food. When passing by the street, when you see something to eat, grab it, and fill your stomach first.
In the evening, the broken army camp assembled in Xicheng and killed 3,000 Xicheng garrisons.
Xiang Yu counted it, ran down in a circle, killed 33 big households, and slaughtered more than 1,400 men, women and children. Among them, including the clansmen of various families.
"Xiang Yu! I'm going to fight him to the death! ”
"I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him...!" All the heads of the families went crazy, and they led their armies to the west city.
Xiang Yu feigned retreat.
The private soldiers of the various families pursued closely and engaged the broken military camp outside the city.
The open terrain outside the city was conducive to the galloping of war horses, and after a fight, more than 20,000 private soldiers of the family were captured and more than 6,000 people were killed.
Han Shuiyi wanted to retreat to the city to hold on, but was chased by Xiang Yu, killed from outside the city to inside the city, and cut off his head with his own hands.
At this point, Fanyang City was completely conquered.
Lang Huaxin, seeing that he couldn't do anything, had already fled.
Xiang Yu didn't know. I don't know if Hua Xin has been here. After capturing Fanyang City, he purged the enemy from the city, imprisoned the captives in the school grounds, and sent heavy troops to guard them.
At this time, Yuan Shu had already left Lujiang County and fled to Huainan.
Luo Cheng cleaned up the battlefield and garrisoned troops in Jiangning County.
"Good news, my lord. In the battle of Xuyang, our army won a big victory, and Yuan Shu was defeated! "In Wanling City, Chen Gong took the good news and found Lu Bu.
There were two good news, one was sent by Luo Cheng, mainly to report on the Battle of the Rising Sun.
One was sent by Xiang Yu to report on the battle of Fanyang City.
After reading it, Lu Bu smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, Yuan Shu has failed like this, and there is no need to worry about it." ”
"Xiang Yu chased and killed for two days and two nights in a row, and he also outwitted Fanyang City, which is very useful."
"But General Xiang's disobedience to military orders really makes me embarrassed, should he be punished? Or reward him? Chen Gong couldn't laugh or cry.
In fact, this is not his plan.
Originally, when Yuan Shu's army just ran out of the valley, the barracks would be covered and killed, and Yuan Shu would be blocked back to the valley. In this way, Yuan Shu would be ambushed by Luo Cheng again.
But Xiang Yu was so brave that he had to wait for Yuan Shu's army to run out before leading the army to rush and kill, although he also won the victory, but he suffered heavy casualties, resulting in the death of Chen Lan and 10,000 iron cavalry.
"What is the punishment? It's good to win. As for Chen Lan, if you die, you will die, and I have never treated him as my subordinate. Even if you don't die in this battle, you have to find an opportunity to slaughter him. ”
Lu Bu didn't care. On the contrary, I feel that it has solved a big problem.
