Chapter 5 Attack on Lujiang County
After Xu Rong and Zhang Xiu captured Jiujiang County to govern Shouchun, they immediately began to clean up the county seats of Jiujiang County. Xu Rong sent Yuan Shu's personal soldiers to convey Yuan Shu's will and make the county towns surrender.
I heard that Yuan Shu has died, and the family generals have all surrendered to Liaodong; The counties surrendered one after another. There are also people who can't see the form clearly and want to take the opportunity to be independent, so Xu Rong and Zhang Xiu's iron riders went to teach them to be people.
The iron horseman, who was suppressed in Shouchun, was unceremonious towards the local forces that dared to resist, like a merciless blow like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
This metaphor has a double meaning, because they not only dealt a blow to the power of the local government, but also robbed the Lingbao and the rich households in the county.
At this time, the Liaodong Iron Rider knew that there were people outside the world, and when it came to robbery, the Xiliang Iron Rider was much more professional than them! In addition to underwear, Xiliang Tieqi even took off the clothes worn by the rich family and took it for himself!
When Liaodong Tieqi gasped and gave a thumbs up to praise, Xiliang Tieqi smiled awkwardly: "I'm scared, I want to grab good things when I see them." Now I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I can't change this habit! ”
More than a month later, the whole county of Jiujiang had been unified, and Zhang Xiu officially took office, served as the Taishou of Jiujiang, and began to govern the locality.
When Yuan Shu's family was about to go to Liaodong, Zhang Xiu wrote a letter to Gongsun Kang, hoping that one of Yuan Shu's chief historians, Yang Hong, and Li Feng, the chief bookkeeper, could stay in Jiujiang County and help him govern the place.
Now Yang Hong, the chief historian, and Li Feng, the chief bookkeeper, are back, but only Li Feng is given the position of county commander; And Yang Hong was appointed as the county governor of Lujiang County.
Along with Yang Hong and Li Feng, there was also Xue Rengui and his 10,000 Goguryeo Eight Banners Army.
Goguryeo had perished, and the 20,000 Eighth Banner Army could not be placed in Liaodong to waste food, so Gongsun Kang allocated 10,000 soldiers to Xue Rengui as the basic plate for him to conquer the world in the future.
Now, Xue Rengui was appointed as the county warden of Lujiang County, responsible for overseeing Jiangdong and Jingzhou.
Xue Rengui suddenly appeared in the Liaodong Army, and no one knows about the past history, which is very mysterious. But in the first battle he went out of the mountain, he shot Zhou Tai and captured Jiang Qin. Xu Rong and Zhang Xiu both knew about this deed, so the two did not look down on Xue Rengui.
Xu Rong warmly entertained Xue Rengui with a banquet, and the next attack on Lujiang County required the cooperation of the two.
Zhang Xiu was also very enthusiastic, and he asked: "General Xue, you are going to attack Liu Xun next, do you want me to go with me and take a hand?" ”
Xue Rengui smiled slightly and said, "Although the more soldiers, the better, but Liu Xun is just a mouse, I can destroy him with my backhand." General Zhang still stayed to govern Jiujiang. ”
Xu Rong and Zhang Xiu didn't know Xue Rengui very well, and felt that he was talking big, but interpersonal communication was the most taboo, so they didn't persuade him.
Xu Rong changed the topic and talked about women and Fengyue. The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and a wine banquet was very happy.
The next day, Xu Rong took 10,000 Xuzhou iron horsemen and Xue Rengui to fight Liu Xun; Zhang Xiu stayed in Jiujiang County with his own men. A hundred bed crossbows and trebuchets were all taken away by Xue Rengui, and he also brought fire oil and explosives this time, and the preparation can be said to be very sufficient. Of course, the oil and explosives were actually prepared for Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and it is estimated that they will not be used this time.
Before leaving, Gongsun Kang explained to Xue Rengui: Liu Xun is a rat, greedy for money and lustful, so there is nothing to be afraid of. can be killed or released, Xue Rengui can be disposed of at will. Wancheng is located in the protrusion of the V-shaped waterway of the Yangtze River, the land is fertile, and rice can be grown, and the captured prisoners do not need to be transported to Liaodong, and can be turned into Tuntian soldiers on the spot.
In history, Sun Ce took advantage of Liu Xun's greed for money to set up a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and easily got Lujiang County.
When Lu Kang guarded Lujiang County, it lasted for two years before Sun Ce took Lujiang; In other words, Liu Xun was appointed as the county guard of Lujiang, and Sun Ce used a plan to take down the county of Lujiang County in two days. That's the difference!
There are many waterways in Lujiang County, so it is still Tai Shici's army cooperating. As usual, Tai Shici still didn't come. This time it was because he didn't want to rob Xue Rengui of his credit, and he felt that it was more likely that Liu Xun would flee to Jiangdong, so he personally brought 10,000 sailors and ambushed them on the Yangtze River, which could also cut off Jiangdong Sun Ce's support for Liu Xun.
In fact, this time Tai Shi Ci thought too much, although Sun Ce and Liu Xun were both Yuan Shu's subordinates, their relationship was very ordinary, not as good as outsiders imagined. Besides, now that Sun Ce has been beaten by Lu Bu, it is difficult to protect himself, where can he still care about other people's affairs.
This time, Xu Rong and Xue Rengui's strategy was to "capture the thief and capture the king first", and they went straight to Anhui City without stopping. The county towns along the way hurriedly closed the city gates, guarding carefully, and no one dared to jump out to block the road.
After coming to Anhui City, he set up a large camp. Xu Rong sent people to the city to persuade him to surrender. Xu Rong said: "Your lord Yuan Highway has a will to ask you to surrender. ”
Since Yuan Shu collapsed, Liu Xun has been in a semi-independent state, where will he surrender? Liu Xun replied to Xu Rong: "I don't know how Liaodong used despicable means to take Shouchun, so I don't believe that the Yuan Guild ordered surrender. If you are a hero, come and fight happily, don't let me look down on you! ”
Hearing Liu Xun's reply, Xu Rong laughed: "The rats are also worthy of being called heroes? ”
Liu Xun is used to being the king and hegemon in the local area, and he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, he really wants to fight with Liaodong. Even thought that after defeating Xu Rong, and then taking back Jiujiang County, would he be able to inherit Yuan Shu's territory and become a soil emperor? Liu Xun thought beautifully.
Liu Ye was working as a strategist under Liu Xun at this time, and his mind was very cool. Three years ago, Gongsun Kang also sent someone to invite him, he took the shelf, and didn't want to go to the cold, desolate, and remote barren land in his impression, so he didn't agree to go to Liaodong. Who knew that the situation suddenly changed, Gongsun Kang easily defeated Cao Cao and took Xuzhou.
Only then did Liu Ye realize that Gongsun Kang also had the appearance of an emperor, and it was possible to gain the world. It's impossible to say that you don't regret it, it's come to this point, and you don't have the face to go to Liaodong. But Liu Ye has always collected information about Liaodong, so he has a very clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of Liaodong soldiers.
He persuaded Liu Xun and said: "Liaodong Iron Cavalry, invincible!" This sentence is not a joke, the general must be cautious and cautious, and never underestimate the enemy! ”
Liu Xun laughed, very heroic, he said: "It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and walk it." Tomorrow, Ziyang will follow me out of the city and fight with Xu Rong to see who will kill the deer! ”
Liu Xun seemed to be confident, but Liu Ye could only smile bitterly.
