Chapter 16 Take Wuling County and Jiangxia County

As soon as Changsha County was taken, only Wuling County remained in the four counties of Jingnan.

Xun You and Li Jun made persistent efforts and continued to march towards Wuling County.

This time, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan volunteered to attack Wuling County with the county soldiers of Changsha County.

Wuling County, the seat of governance is in Linyuan (now most of Wuling District and Dingcheng District, Changde City).

It is because Yuanling is in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, which can be traced up to Guizhou Qiqi, and the downstream can enter Dongting, Yuan, Li Ershui, Xiangxi, and northern regions are under control.

From the economic aspect, the gold of Lishui in Guizhou, the bamboo and wood, camellia oleifera, bud grass and lacquer in Xiangxi, and especially the rich copper, tin, lead and other minerals in Dansha and Mayang counties in Chenxi are all important material resources urgently needed in the development of a country.

Wuling County is located here, which is of great economic and strategic significance for the operation of the entire southwest.

The more famous one in later generations is Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring": "In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business...... and this Wuling people should be "Wuling County people".

Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, Ziyuan machine, Jingzhao people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He is a descendant of Jin Riyan, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and has a son, Jin Yi. He served as the Huangmen Shilang and Hanyang Taishou, successively paid official worship to Yilang, Zhonglang General and other official positions, and finally became the Wuling Taishou of Jingzhou.

That is to say: he is a descendant of the Huns, but he, the Huns, is loyal to the Han family and has died.

However, it was said that Jin Xuan heard that Xun Yu had led the troops, so he gathered the generals, ordered the elite soldiers, and went out of the city to meet the enemy.

Gong Zhi admonished: "Gongsun Kang is a national hero, benevolence and righteousness are spread all over the world; In addition, Xun You is resourceful, and Li Jun is very brave. It is better not to meet the enemy, than to surrender to the top. ”

Jin Xuan was furious and said: "You want to connect with the thief for internal change?" Drink and order the samurai to push out and slash it.

All the officials said: "Beheading the family first, it is not good for the army."

Jin Xuannai drank Gong Zhi and led his troops out.

Twenty miles away from the city, Wei Yan is being welcomed. Wei Yan immediately raised his knife and drank Jin Xuan.

He asked his generals: "Who dares to fight?"

Everyone is afraid, and they dare not move forward.

Spin from the horse dance knife to meet it. Wei Yan shouted, like a huge thunder, the golden swirl lost color, he didn't dare to fight, and turned his horse away.

Wei Yan led the army to cover up and kill. Jin Xuan walked to the edge of the city, and arrows shot down from the city.

Xuan was shocked and saw Gong Zhi standing on the city and said: "When you don't follow the sky, you will be defeated, and I and the people will surrender to Liaodong."

Before he finished speaking, an arrow hit the golden whirlwind door, fell under the horse, and the sergeant cut off his head to offer Wei Yan.

Gong Zhi went out of the city to surrender, and Wei Yan ordered Gong Zhi to take the seal and go to see Xun You. Xun Yu was overjoyed and reassured with kind words.

The four counties of Jingnan have been taken, and Xun Yu Feige sent a message to Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang ordered: Gong Zhi was the Taishou of Wuling County; Huang Zhong is the Taishou of Changsha County; Wei Yan was the Taishou of Lingling County; Zhao Fan still served as the Taishou of Guiyang County.

As a result, the four counties of Jingnan settled down in this way.

On the other hand, Xue Rengui and Zhang Xiu went to attack Jiangxia.

Jiangxia has a lot of water, and Xue Rengui attacked very hard.

Gongsun Kang then ordered Tai Shi Ci to bring 20,000 sailors to assist in the battle.

Jiangxia County is the last foundation of the Chinese surnamed Huang all over the world, so it has been worshiped as the county of the surname Huang for more than 2,000 years, and the common family banner of tens of millions of descendants surnamed Huang.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jiangxia Taishou under the subordinates of Mu Liu Biao in Jingzhou was Huang Zu. During the battle with Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, his subordinates shot Sun Jian to death, so he formed a grudge with the Sun family.

Because the Huang family's power in Jiangxia is too great, and even Liu Biao is helpless against them. This point is not liked by Gongsun Kang. He didn't intend to keep the state within a state.

Huang Chengyan and Huang Zu are from the same clan, so they interceded for Huang Zu, hoping that Gongsun Kang could save Huang Zu's life.

Huang Zu has been in Jiangxia for many years, and he is the soil emperor of Jiangxia, a little proud and impatient.

He didn't accept Huang Chengyan's love at all, thinking that Jiangxia was like an iron bucket, and no one could attack it. So resolutely do not surrender!

The Battle of Jiangxia was, first of all, a water war.

In the face of Tai Shici's attack, Huang Zu appointed Zhang Shuo as the vanguard, Chen was the leader of the fleet, and he stayed in Jiangxia.

Before the war, Zhang Shuo led his troops to reconnoiter the riverbank by a large boat, but was discovered by Tai Shici, who was also scouting.

At that time, Tai Shici, who was riding a small boat, only had dozens of warriors around him, but he still boarded Zhang Shuo's ship, probably disguised as Zhang Shuo's pawns under the cover of night, and attacked Zhang Shuo's army. Zhang Shuo was killed by Tai Shici, and all the sailors were captured.

Upon learning that Zhang Shuo had been killed, Huang Zu immediately ordered Chen to lead two Mengchong ships to guard the pass, and also had Hercules and archers ambush on the top of the cliff by the river, throwing stones and torches at the enemy's large ships.

In order to defeat Huang Zu's Meng Chong, Tai Shi Ci sent a large fleet, but it was destroyed by the stones thrown from the top of the cliff. After an hour of fighting, Tai Shici realized that Huang Zu's armament was not so lacking, and he could only face the reality of the fatigue of the soldiers and heavy casualties.

In order to turn the tide of the battle, Tai Shi Ci ordered the deputy general to lead 100 death squads, each wearing two pieces of armor, to charge in a large boat, braving stones and torches. After a hard battle, the lieutenants finally succeeded in severing the connection between the two Mengchong ships, which also boosted the morale of the Liaodong Army.

A lieutenant general kills Chen in close combat. The army of Huang Zu, who had lost its leader, was annihilated by the Taishi Ci army, which was in the minority.

Before Tai Shi Ci completely annihilated the Huangzu army, Xue Rengui led his troops to Jiangxia City.

Without the containment of the Jiangxia Naval Army, Xue Rengui's march was easy and smooth all the way.

Under Jiangxia City, Zhang Xiu jumped on a horse with a gun and asked for a fight.

Huang Zu is old, where does he dare to go out of the city to fight? Just holding on to the city. At this point, he still doesn't surrender! Huang Zu had never fought any major battles in his life, and he had been defeated many times, but despite this, he had a good defensive strategy. So he is very confident in defending the city and waiting for Liu Biao's support.

Su Fei was the governor of Huang Zu's army, and he persuaded Huang Zu: "Mr. Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Cannan, is your clan. Since he made a guarantee and said: You surrendered to Liaodong, and there is absolutely no worry about your life, why do you have to fight against Liaodong? ”

Huang Zu laughed and said: "Liaodong soldiers and horses, and they can't capture Jiangxia. Isn't it good for me to be a soil emperor myself? Why do you want to bow down to Liaodong? ”

Xue Rengui waited for half an hour, seeing that Huang Zu really had no intention of surrendering. Just give the order to attack the city!

Liaodong's bed crossbow and stone thrower were fired together. It didn't take long for the city walls of Jiangxia to collapse.

Xue Rengui straddled the big white horse and beat the drum with his hands to fight together.

The officials of Liaodong are excited, enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and they are full of spirit and fruit, and they compete for their lives. Crossing the heavy trench, fast as flying. Let's go into the city.

Zhang Xiu led the people to put the upper hand, the soldiers were under the smoke, the bows and crossbows were fired concurrently, the arrows were rained, and the two sides launched fierce street battles.

Zhang Xiu's blade was intercepted, the fire was burned, there was no life before, but the ancestors rushed away. Zhang Xiu won Huang Zu's wife, and there were seven men and women.

In the first battle of Jiangxia, the officers and soldiers of Liaodong beheaded more than 20,000 Jiangxia soldiers, more than 10,000 people drowned, more than 10,000 soldiers were captured, more than 6,000 large and small ships were captured, and property was piled up like a mountain. There are 200,000 stone of grain and grass!

Gongsun Kang is really full this time. In addition, more than half of Jiangxia's land was in the hands of the Huang family headed by Huang Zu, and Gongsun Kang honestly and unceremoniously nationalized.

Because the state-owned land is an established policy, Liaodong has been practicing it for more than 10 years. So after Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying found out, they didn't say anything.

After Su Fei was captured, he asked to surrender. Xue Rengui knew that this person's moral character was not bad, so he agreed to his request and sent Su Fei to collect the rout of Jiangxia and prevent them from harming the township.

Although Gongsun Kang intended to let Huang Zu go, he did not want to take his life. But the battlefield was chaotic, and Huang Zu died in the chaos. There were soldiers who took his head to take credit. Xue Rengui had no choice but to reward the soldier.
