As soon as Han Yi returned to Runan for two months, he couldn't help but be overjoyed after receiving a letter of support from Liu Biao in Jingzhou and a letter of submission from Jiaozhou Shixie. Because of the killing of hundreds of officials, Han Yi has always been afraid that the people of the world will hate him and is unwilling to surrender. Now there are only a few people who are indignant, and most of them still choose to protect themselves. It seems that replacing the Han family is not a difficult task.

It has only been half a year, not only to eliminate Yuan Shu's forces, but also to the attachment of Liu Biao in Jingzhou and the obedience of Jiaozhou Shixie. In this way, there is no one else in the south except Sun Ce's forces.

It's just that after hearing about Sun Ce's marching speed, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Han Yi couldn't help but say heartily: "Sun's tiger son is worthy of his name. ”

Although Liu Biao lost the land of the four counties of Jingnan, Nanjun is the essence of Jingzhou, so there are still 110,000 troops, plus 30,000 water troops of Huang Zu in Jiangxia, with more enemies and fewer enemies, they are still on the defensive. It will be forcibly broken by Sun Ce and most of the army will be wiped out. Now Liu Biao's army of land and water is only 60,000 people,

Han Yi summoned Ai Ke and Le Peng and asked, "When our army conquered Yuan Shu, there was no vicious battle. If Jingzhou is conquered in advance this year, will there be enough money and food? ”

Ai Kebai said: "My lord, because the three counties of Jiangdong were scraped by Yuan Shu, the people are difficult to cross the day, and they need to transfer grain from Yuzhou and Xuzhou to support and provide relief. But it is still possible to save a million stone of grain and use it to attack Jingzhou first. ”

Han Yi pondered, one million stone of grain was only enough for 100,000 troops to support three months, could three months pacify Jingnan? So he asked Yang Li: "How much grain does Liu Biao have stored in Xiangyang?" ”

Yang Libai said: "Liu Biao has always stored grain in Jiangling, and then Sun Ce rose in Jingnan, so he transferred half of it to Xiangyang. Now that Gangneung has been destroyed, the grain and grass in Xiangyang will not exceed 1.5 million stones. Jingzhou still has an army of 60,000, which can only be said to be self-sufficient. ”

Le Peng said: "At the beginning of the year, hundreds of officials were killed, and the world was shocked for a while, and the Lord destroyed Yuan Shu quickly and fairly, so there was no turmoil. Now that there are faint signs of turmoil in the territory, it is better for the lord not to go out lightly within half a year. It is still mainly based on governance. ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "It seems that we can only rescue Xiangyang first, so that Liu Biao can hold on." For the time being, he confronted Sun Ce with his troops, and after the autumn harvest of the next year, he captured Jingnan in one fell swoop and subdued Jiaozhou. ”

Han Yi remembered that the Eastern Expedition army was tired, and Zhu Ning's good things were approaching, so it was inconvenient to transfer troops and horses from Runan. So he ordered Nanyang's Chengqi Front Army to be the main force, and transferred Xu Huang, Gao Gao, Zhong Shen, and Fang Ji to help, with a total of 50,000 troops to rescue Jingzhou first. He also ordered Chaisang to guard Qiu Rui to send troops to feign an attack on Changsha as a partial division, not to break the enemy, but to temporarily repel Sun Ce's army.

Liu Biao is the brother-in-law of Nanyang Chengqi, and Chengqi did not dare to slack off after he was ordered. It's just that Liu Biao's subordinate department of Zhang Xiu in Qicheng has not yet expressed a clear message of submission, and Cheng Qi can't make it for a while. So he sent the messenger to inquire about it.

After the envoy came to Qicheng, Zhang Xiu did not meet for the time being, and asked the military advisor Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe, Liu Biao has now surrendered to Han Yi, and our army is cut off, and there is no money to feed the soldiers." It's just that Jingnan Sun Ce came again to ask me to take Jingzhou together, and divide the north and south equally, how should our army be? ”

Jia Xubai asked: "I don't know the ambition of the general, is it in the world, or is I only willing to lead the troops as a general?" ”

Zhang Xiu asked, "Does my ambition have anything to do with the current situation?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Naturally." If the general is determined to be in the world, he can unite with Sun Ce to take Jingzhou and take Jingbei as the base. I can cause trouble in the Central Plains for the general, so that the general has the opportunity to seize the world. If the general has no ambition in the world, I will advise the general to submit to Han Yi in exchange for the future high-ranking officials and marquises. ”

Zhang Xiu asked hesitantly: "Han Yi is now dominating the universe, and there is still a day of chaos in his realm?" So does the Han clan still have a day to unify the world? ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The Han family was born as a cheap son-in-law, and if he wants to replace the Han family, there are countless rebels in his realm, but they are not obvious at present. As long as Han Yi is killed, the Central Plains will be in chaos. As for Han's desire to dominate the world, its biggest opponent is Yuan Shao of Jizhou, as long as Han Yi does not die early, Yuan Shao will be defeated sooner or later. But if Han Yi dies early, the Han clan will be wiped out by the Yuan clan quickly. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "According to Mr. Wenhe's opinion, the rise and fall of the Runan Han clan is only in Han Yi?" ”

Jia Xu responded: "Yes, that's why I asked about the general's ambition?" Can you replace Han Yi's heart? ”

Zhang Xiu thought for a long time, and then sighed: "My talents are more deficient than Han Yi, and I have no ability to dominate the world." Besides, my birth is not much stronger than Han Yi. And in the eyes of the world, it is even more Dong Zhuo's remnant, but I am afraid that he will not accept me. Forget it. Mr. Wenhe, I will meet the envoy and surrender willingly. ”

When Jia Xu saw it, he could only shake his head and sigh silently. So Zhang Xiu led more than 12,000 troops including Lei Xu, Zhang Xian, and Hu Che'er to surrender to Chengqi.

Cheng Qi was overjoyed, and the factor knew that Zhang Xiu's soldiers were very elite and had a lot of cavalry, so he made Zhang Xiu's department the vanguard of the army. Since he led the three generals Chu Hu, Li Tong, and Lu Jun, and Xu Huang, Gao Gao, Zhong Shen, and Fang Ji from Runan, the four generals should lead the army south. Liu Pi, Xun Zheng, and Jia Xu were left to escort the grain and grass.

The army went south to Fancheng, and its own Huang Zu's naval army responded to Chengqi and other troops to cross the Han River. Coming to the left of Xiangyang City, I saw that the besieging Sun Ce's army was attacking the city, and Zhang Xiu, the vanguard of the Korean army, and his own general Hu Che'er led 5,000 horsemen to crash into Sun Ce's army, and the generals Lei Xu and Zhang Xian covered up and killed left and right. Sun's army was defeated, and he hurriedly relieved the siege and retreated twenty miles to the village, and entered Xiangyang as a group.

Liu Biao was overjoyed, and led Jingzhou civil and military to welcome Cheng Qi, Cheng Qi visited his wife and brother, and said: "Sun's child is so vigorous? Persecuting my brother like this? ”

Liu Biao nodded and said: "My Jingzhou generals who are good at fighting have fought with them a lot, and they are always defeated, and there are many kills and wounds." It's really hard for the tiger to compete with it. Although Sun Ce sent out his army, he only had 40,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 sailors. However, he recruited rebels all the way, and there were no less than 70,000 foot soldiers and horses. Don't be careless when you engage in war with it. ”

Cheng Qi bowed and said: "Brother, don't worry, wait for me to send troops to fight with him tomorrow, so as to avenge my brother." ”

Sun Ce frowned in the army, summoned the generals and asked: "Xiangyang Jiancheng has not been broken, but Han Yi's army has arrived." How should our army be good? ”

Cheng Pubai said: "Tanma returns, this time the main general of the Korean army is Nanyang Taishou Chengqi. His people are brave and resourceful, so although the Han army is fine, it is not too difficult to deal with. I am afraid that I will break Chengqi and provoke Han Yi to conquer again, and Nanjun and Jingnan have not yet stabilized, so it will be difficult to do. ”

The generals have been thinking for a long time, and there is no other way. Suddenly, Zhu Zhi bowed and said: "I heard that Cheng Qi is Han Yi's righteous brother, if our army captures him in a battle, or we can use him to negotiate peace with Han Yi, and we can use Han and Water as the boundary, and we will not levy it for three years." ”

Sun Ce nodded and said: "This strategy is good, but there are many soldiers, and it is not easy to capture them among the ten thousand troops, or to lure the enemy to go deeper, so that there is a chance." ”

The plan has been decided, and on the second day, Sun Ce led the generals out, led the troops to battle, and Chen soldiers were in the field. Cheng Qi is the whole army to the enemy. Cheng Qi immediately stood under the door flag and watched Sun Ce's soldiers arrive. At the circle of the formation, Sun Ce took the lead and lined up eight generals on both sides: the first Cheng Pu, a native of Beiping, and the second Han Dang, a native of Liaoxi Lingzhi. The two generals each introduced three brave generals: Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Gan Ning, and Li Yi. Chen soldiers were 50,000, and the drums shook loudly.

Cheng Qi looked left and right and said: "The son of the Sun family has become a powerful man, if he can't be destroyed today, he will be the enemy of the Lord in the long run." The herald ordered that today's armies must move forward bravely and defeat Sun Ce in one fell swoop, so that the Sun clan will not have a chance to grow. "The people will promise.

Sun Ce stepped out and shouted: "My Sun clan and Liu Biao have a great enmity for killing their father, and since your army has come to help, they are my great enemy." So he asked Han Dang to go out and fight.

Zhang Xiu, the pioneer of the Korean army, saw that this was Sun Jian's old general, and he had a meeting with him, so he personally greeted him, and the two horses intersected, and the swords and guns were raised at the same time. The battle is more than 30 rounds, and there is no difference between victory and defeat. Zhou Tai and Gan Ning slapped their horses to help in the battle, and Xu Huang and Gao Gao intercepted and fought in the formation. The six members will catch and fight each other, and dozens of them will not be able to win or lose.

Sun Ce couldn't help frowning when he saw the battle situation, just a partial army of the South Korean army, there were so many brave generals. Then Han Yi came in person, Jing Nan was even more irresistible, and he had to be captured alive today.

So he ordered Chen Wu and Dong to attack, each leading 3,000 foot soldiers, and rushed into the enemy's formation. Cheng Qi saw Sun Jun coming to charge the battle, and couldn't help sneering, there were many horses in the army, and there were many foot soldiers in Jingnan, and he rode with steps, which was the opinion of a true fool. Then he waved the flag, and the wings were ten thousand horses at the same time. Five thousand Hun Hu cavalry rushed out of front of the formation and shot indiscriminately, and five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry rushed straight at the enemy with spears.

How did Sun Jun resist the enemy, looking south and hurrying away. Cheng Qi drove troops to cover up and kill, and Sun's army was defeated. Cheng Pu and Han Dang fled to the mountains left and right, and only Sun Ce led seven or eight thousand soldiers to flee. After Cheng Qi saw it, he ordered Xu Huang and Li Tong to lead 20,000 troops to chase and kill left and right, and led more than 10,000 troops to chase Sun Ce reluctantly.

Sun Ce did not dare to fight, and the dead continued all the way, and he retreated for more than 30 miles. In the middle of the pursuit, suddenly a cannon sounded, the sound of the two-phase drums shook loudly, Sun Ben led 10,000 troops from the West Mountain, and Zhu Zhi led 10,000 troops from the east river to kill. The two armies exerted their strength and cut off the chasing troops of Chengqi into three pieces in one fell swoop.

Sun Ce turned around to resume the battle and shouted, "Don't go into Qi." ”

Cheng Qi was shocked, and looked forward and backward urgently, only to see that Lu Jun of the rear army was blocked by Zhu Zhi and could not advance; The former army Zhang Xiuwang saw the ambush soldiers, the terrain was unfavorable to the cavalry, and he did not dare to fight, but led the Xiliang cavalry army to break through to the southeast.

Sun Ce didn't chase either, let go of Zhang Xiu, and led the troops to force Cheng Qi's Chinese army, wanting to capture Cheng Qi among the ten thousand troops. Cheng Qi hated so much that he could only make the deputy general lead the troops to break off, and then he turned back to charge into battle, leading more than 1,000 troops to fight Zhu Zhi to the death.

Zhu Zhi was attacked by Zhi Chengqi and Lu Jun, and because the soldiers and horses were not fine, they could not resist the enemy, so they had to let go of the encirclement and allow the two to meet. At this time, Sun Ce had defeated the Chengqi Central Army, ordered Sun Ben to outflank to the left, and Zhu Zhi to outflank to the right, and led the troops from behind.

At this time, Cheng Qi only had more than 6,000 troops, but Sun Ce had more than 25,000 troops, several times more than the Han army. Cheng Qi could only order Lu Jun to lead 3,000 troops to break through. Although Cheng Qi fought bravely, there were too many enemy troops, and it was difficult to escape the road ahead. Lu Jun was unfortunately beheaded by Sun Ce, and the back road was quickly broken.

More than 20,000 troops trapped Cheng Qi in the formation, and Cheng Qi rushed left and right, and could not get out of the encirclement. In a panic, Zhu Zhijun in the east was suddenly in chaos, but it was Zhang Xiujun who made a detour to save Chengqi. Cheng Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly joined Zhang Xiujun to break out of the encirclement.

Looking all the way to the north and fighting and fleeing, suddenly there was a shout and a big earthquake, and a Biao army arrived, but it was Zhou Yu's army that sent Huang Gai and Jiang Qin to block the road. Cheng Qi was furious and went out to take the second general. At the sound of the bang, arrows are about to shoot like a shower. Cheng Qi can't move forward, and there is no way out.

Among the cavalry, one general came out, and it was Zhang Xiu's personal general Hu Che'er, who bravely crowned his army. With two spears in his hands, he shouted: "Don't worry, general! "Fly and dismount, stick your spears in your hands, put on heavy armor and spears in your hands, let go of your footsteps, and go forward with arrows.

Jiang Qin ordered thirty horsemen to step forward and kill Hu Che'er, not wanting Hu Che'er to ride on foot and kill more than a dozen people. Everyone is running. Hu Che'er flew back on his horse, held two spears in his hands, rushed into battle, and scattered the crossbowmen.

Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were furious and came to kill Hu Che'er. Cheng Qi and Zhang Xiu rushed to lead the army to clash and defeated Huang Gai and Jiang Qin. Looking at the evening of the day, where the shouting behind him began, Sun Ce suddenly came with a gun and shouted: "Cheng Qi Xiu go!" ”
