No. 634 Repay the Favor 1
The matter of overtaking Li Hui caused a lot of controversy in Jin Juejun.
In order to repay Jin Jue, Li Hui took advantage of the gap in winter to join Yang Ren, the guard general guarding Dianjiang County, and sent troops to the central and southern regions of Yongning County. Li Hui only used a small number of troops to capture all the counties under the jurisdiction of Yongning County in one fell swoop, except for Jiangzhou City.
At this time, Li Hui had actually taken the initiative to stop his troops. He himself didn't think about breaking through Jiangzhou City in one fell swoop before winter, and then taking the entire Yongning County.
As soon as the news reached Jiangzhou City, Zhao Wei was frightened, and he had the idea of taking the initiative to surrender to Jin Jue. However, just when he was hesitant and unable to make a decision immediately, he didn't want to, and his two generals, Pang Le and Li Yi, suddenly took advantage of the dark night to lead troops to attack Zhao Wei's mansion and finally kill him.
Then, the second general sent an envoy with Zhao Wei's head to Li Hui's residence and surrendered to Li Hui.
Jin Jue just gave Li Hui a sour 'plum', after all, with Li Hui's current position, he was just another Sima whose main responsibility was Tuntian. But Li Hui gave Jin Jue a 'super big watermelon' in return.
The rate of return is too high, and once again Jin Jue's army is deeply convinced and admired by Jin Jue's promotion of Li Hui.
In this way, Jin Jue's army easily took control of Yongning County and eliminated Zhao Wei's army.
Yongning County must have died, and as soon as Zhao Wei died like this, the situation in the entire Sanba immediately underwent earth-shaking changes.
The barbarians of Hanchang County, who are still guarding Chongguo County, have become even more desperate for Jin Jue, and in such a situation, they are not allowed to be half-hearted.
Zhang Lu, Pu Hu and Du Huo began to become uneasy.
Zhang Lu knew very well in his heart that as another Taoist sect that launched a rebellion, no matter whether he was a bullshit reincarnated heavenly master of Taiping Dao, Jin Jue would not let Zhang Lu continue to live in the world.
The two have always been a life-and-death relationship.
And Pu Hu and Du Huo also understood at this time that they were all killed by the Son of Heaven, no, the two of them actually knew very well in their hearts that they were pitted by the messenger named Jia Kui sent by Cao Cao, and it was miserable.
For the sake of the history of Yizhou Thorn that has not yet arrived, the position of Guanghan County of Ba County, Shu County, and Guanghan County, he rashly fought with Jin Jue's army, who did not know the strength, and now, Jin Jue is indeed still leading troops to besiege Chengdu City, and he can't spare his hands to deal with them for the time being.
However, judging from Jin Jue's past achievements, who knows how long Chengdu achievements can last?
In fact, how could Jin Jue really plan to besiege Chengdu City for three years?
Jin Jue took the initiative to spread his words to the whole army, not for his own people, but for Liu Zhang and the various families in Yizhou in Chengdu to hear.
As early as the time when he led the troops into Langzhong County, Jin Jue had already sent a lot of people to infiltrate Chengdu City, and before Liu Zhangjun realized that Jin Jue led his troops to attack Shu County and Guanghan County, he found out in advance the location of all the granaries in Chengdu, including the private granaries of various families in the city, and studied the deployment of these granaries.
As long as he waits until next year's autumn harvest and Jin Jue is really successful in building Tuntian in some areas of Guanghan County, Shu County and Jianwei County, he will send Bao Chu to infiltrate Chengdu City and inform those who are hiding in the city to find a dark and windy day to set fire to all the granaries in Chengdu as much as possible, and burn all the grain in the granaries as much as possible.
Why do you have to wait until the autumn harvest and the tuntian produces fruits before launching this secret hand?
The reason is both simple and helpless.
Liu Zhang is cowardly, incompetent, and suspicious, and his will is extremely weak, and his ears are soft, so once there is a large loss of grain in Chengdu, it will not take long for him to choose to surrender to Jin Jue.
However, if the situation was completely different when Liu Bei captured Yizhou, the various families in Yizhou opposed Jin Juejun from the bottom of their hearts.
From the various governance methods of Jin Jue's army in the area controlled by Yizhou, it can be seen that all families can see that even if they choose to surrender with Liu Zhang, in Yizhou under Jin Jue's rule, their family's interests will inevitably suffer very big losses.
Therefore, once Liu Zhang shows that he wants to surrender, he is likely to be hijacked and controlled by the families who are unwilling to surrender in Kaecheng.
It's just that these families don't have a good idea to think about it, if they don't choose to surrender, in a short period of time, they can use the food in their warehouses to last for a while. However, in the absence of external rescue, even if all the warehouses of these families are emptied, nearly 100,000 people in Chengdu can eat for a long time?
If he didn't provide enough food for the people to sustain their lives, he would be able to immediately provoke civil strife in Chengdu without Jin Jue sending troops to attack.
However, if next year, Jin Jue's tuntian developed in the three counties does not have a bumper harvest due to various reasons, and if he gets enough food, Jin Jue will have to take the initiative to suspend this plan.
There was no food to provide to the people in the city, and the food in the city was burned, Liu Zhang and the families in the city were willing to open the city and surrender, at that time, what should Jin Jue do?
Therefore, when it is possible, it is necessary to consider the actual situation of one's own side.
As for Pang Xi in Guling County, Jin Jue had already secretly contacted Pang Xi.
Jin Jue's condition was that either Pang Xi would come to Yongning County to take up his post; Either don't move the place and continue to serve as the Taishou of Guling County, but if you want to stay in office, Jiangguan must be in the hands of the generals sent by Jin Jue, which is an unchangeable condition.
After the envoy sent by Jin Jue returned, he brought the envoy sent by Pang Xi.
This envoy stated to Jin Jue that Pang Xi surrendered to Jin Jue's only request: Pang Xi was willing to accept all the conditions offered by Jin Jue and was willing to continue to stay in Guling County. However, there is a big premise in this, that is, Jin Jue must agree, if Liu Zhang never surrenders, after Jin Jue breaks through Chengdu City, Jin Jue will at least keep the sons born to Liu Yan's other sons. But if Liu Zhang chooses to take the initiative to open the city and surrender to Jin Jue, Jin Jue will not be able to kill all the descendants of Liu Yan.
The envoy sent by Pang Xi made it very clear that if Jin Jue refused to agree to this condition, Pang Xi would rather take the initiative to dedicate Guling County to Liu Biao. The current situation, if Liu Biao can break through the obstacles of Jiangguan and the Three Gorges and lead his troops into Guling County, it will indeed bring a very big obstacle to Jin Jue's unification of the entire Yizhou.
