Chapter 725: Jingxiang Seven Counties
readx;?ā Hahaha, Fengxiao, it seems that it won't be long before this Quanling can be taken! Gan Ning looked at the situation in front of him and said to Guo Jia beside him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth also showed a smile, this Lingling County is only a little bigger than Guiyang County, but the defenders are not more than Guiyang, the same is three thousand.
The only difference may be that the Taishou of Lingling County is not as unproductive as the Taishou of Guiyang County before, and they surrendered directly as soon as their army arrived, and this Taishou of Lingling County is Liu Biao's henchman, naturally you will not surrender so easily, so he still led the troops to make some resistance.
But obviously, all this is so futile, even if it is the seat of Lingling County, there are only 1,500 soldiers and horses in Quanling, and in the face of twenty times the enemy, even if they can use one as ten, they can only do useless work.
"Don't be too careless, the siege is small, and the most important thing is not to let the news here leak out." Guo Jia said.
"You don't have to worry about me!" Zhou Fan patted his chest and reassured: "But then again, it's understandable that the lord asked us to take Jingnan, but why do you want us to block the news and not let others know?" ā
Why do you want to take Jingnan, is this still a problem, Zhou Fan's goal is the entire Jingzhou, and naturally Jingnan is indispensable.
Moreover, Jingnan is too far behind Jingbei compared to Jingbei, and the total strength of Jingnan is not as large as them, and it is not easy to take them down, at most, it will take a little time to strike.
But Zhou Fan not only wanted them to take Jingnan, but also put forward a few more conditions. One is that the sooner the better, and the other is that the news of Jingnan falling into their hands cannot be transmitted to Jingbei, especially to Xiangyang, which makes Gan Ning a little puzzled, this kind of thing is completely unnecessary.
Guo Jia thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth also showed a knowing smile. As for Zhou Fan's thoughts, he can guess some of them.
After all, Zhou Fan has not turned his face with Liu Biao yet, and if the news of Jingzhou's action spreads, it will inevitably hinder his reputation.
But this is only one of them, Guo Jia believes that Zhou Fan's move must have other intentions, as for what it is, he is not a god, and he doesn't know the current situation on Zhou Fan's side, so naturally he can't guess it.
"Xingba. Sometimes I have to use my brain more and keep asking me how I can. Guo Jia patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said with an old god.
The corners of Gan Ning's mouth couldn't help twitching, he really didn't have any temper at all for Guo Jia, he could only say that he admired it, but looking at Guo Jia's mysterious appearance, it really made him unhappy.
At this moment, a loud bang was heard. Immediately attracted the eyes of the two.
While they were talking, the gates of Quanling had already been blown down. The army smoothly entered the Quanling.
"Let's go, let's go into the city!" Guo Jia said to Gan Ning: "Now that the two counties of Guiyang and Lingling have been obtained, only Wuling and Changsha are left, and these two counties are not as easy as they are now." ā
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jingzhou was divided into seven counties. They are Nanyang County, Jiangxia County, Nan County, Wuling County, and Changsha County. Gyeyang-gun, Lingling county.
As for the nine counties of Jingxiang that have been circulated in later generations, it was after Cao Cao got Jingzhou, Nanxiang County and Xiangyang County were separated from Nanyang County and Nanjun County, not to mention it for the time being.
In the past, although Liu Biao was the pastor of Jingzhou, he actually controlled the five counties.
Among them, Changsha County has always been in the hands of Sun Jian, and the richest Nanyang County is in the hands of Yuan Shu.
And now, Yuan Shu is dead, Nanyang County is naturally in the hands of Zhou Fan, and at this moment, although Sun Jian and Sun Ce are still taking care of the affairs of Runan County, Yuzhou, Changsha County is still in the hands of Sun Jian, and Sun Jian also left a part of the troops to stay, especially Sun Jian's family is still staying in Changsha.
This Changsha Zhou Fan naturally will not let go, after all, Zhou Fan wants the whole of Jingzhou, so it is naturally impossible to leave such a sand in it.
However, Sun Jian is different from Liu Biao, the direct relationship between Zhou Fan and Sun Jian is not bad, at least on the surface, the relationship has always been good, and Zhou Fan has no reason to do anything to him, if he wants to take Changsha, he still has to scrap some means.
Guiyang County and Lingling County are now also in the hands of Zhou Fan.
And Wuling County now nominally naturally belongs to Lu Bu, who is too guarded by Wuling, but in fact, Lu Bu has never come to Wuling County at all, so Wuling County is actually still in the hands of Liu Biao, which is also Gan Ning's next target.
As for the trouble in Wuling County, firstly, because of the relationship between Lu Bu and Lu Bu, and secondly, because the people of Wuling are fierce, especially the few local famous clans, such as Wuxi Man, are quite brave, and if they want to recover, it must not be as easy as before.
And the last two counties, Nanjun and Jiangxia County.
Needless to say, Nanjun is naturally in Xiangyang, and it has always been Liu Biao's lair, so it is naturally Zhou Fan who personally took action.
And Jiangxia County, nominally, is naturally under the command of Liu Biao, but in fact it is governed by Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, and Huang Zu is also a member of the Huang family, one of the three major families in Jingzhou.
The relationship between him and Liu Biao is also quite delicate, if Zhou Fan makes a move on Xiangyang, whether Huang Zu will help, even Zhou Fan is not sure.
Just like before, when Zhou Yu just set off from Yizhou to Lujiang, he happened to meet the 10,000 cavalry sent by Yuan Shao, and he happened to want to go directly to Nanjun through Jiangxia County and attack Xiangyang.
Zhou Fan didn't believe that Huang Zu would not know about the situation that someone had borrowed his Jiangxia, so nine times out of ten, Huang Zu didn't plan to pay attention to it at all, and planned to be a wall grass, so as to watch the fire from the other side and seek the greatest benefit from it.
But it doesn't matter, Zhou Fan of Jiangxia County has already been prepared, if Huang Zu obediently returns, then he is still Jiangxia Taishou, and the Huang family is still a Jingzhou family, after all, if Zhou Fan gets Jingzhou, it is still inevitable to rely on the power of the local family, and the Huang family is a good object.
Of course, if he is not interested, then Zhou Fan will not be polite, Jiangxia will still change hands, but there will be no more Huang family in Jingzhou in the future.
"Enter the city!" Gan Ning nodded, and with an order, the army quickly marched into Quanling County. (To be continued.) )
