Chapter 223: A moment of silence for the Sun family
When they arrived in Chaisang City, Gan Ning and the others treated Chen Wu and Lu Dai as prisoners but as old friends, which made them grateful. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info If they are taken prisoner at this moment, they will regret it.
At the feast, everyone continued to toast and laugh at the two, and the two were naturally grateful.
After three rounds of drinking, Lou Gui said to Chen and Lu: "The two generals are like-minded, and we are naturally happy, I don't know where the two family members are now?" β
When it came to their families, the faces of the two immediately looked a little sad. Chen Wu was originally a native of Songzi in Lujiang, and it is not a big family in the local area, since Chen Wu followed Sun Ce to break through Liu Xun, and incorporated Lujiang into the territory of Jiangdong, the Chen family is also gradually growing with Chen Wu's strength, and now it is already a local clan, but at this moment Shamoke is leading the army to attack Songzi, which makes Chen Wu inevitably a little worried.
And Lu Dai is a native of Hailing, Guangling, that is, Taizhou City, Yangzhou in later generations, is under the rule of Jiangdong, if Jiangdong learns that Chen Wu surrendered to Liu Yong, he will inevitably punish his family, and he is very uneasy.
Lou Gui smiled and said: "This matter is not difficult, I will immediately write a letter to report to the lord, as short as three or five days, or as late as half a month, the lord will definitely take the families of the two to Jingzhou." You won't take any damage. β
The two will be suspicious, what is Liu Yong's ability to bring their family to Jingzhou safe and sound.
Gan Ning smiled lightly: "Lu Dinggong's family needs to be sent by the lord to pick it up, as for Chen Zilie's family members don't have to worry at all, you can write a letter, I will send someone to Shamoke who captured Songzi, and I will definitely ensure that your family is fine, if they want, they can come directly to Chaisang to see you." Or it doesn't hurt to move directly to Jiangxia. β
Listening to what Gan Ning said casually, like an inconspicuous triviality, Chen Wu immediately put his mind at ease, and even Lu Dai had some confidence in being able to pick up his family. The two did not dare to slack off, and immediately wrote a letter separately, and Lou Gui also wrote a letter. Gan Ning immediately sent people to the Shamoke camp to protect Chen Wu's family, and sent people to send LΓΌ Dai's letter and Lou Gui's letter to Xiangyang. At the same time, the news of the two defections was temporarily blocked, and the rumors were released to capture the two Jiangdong generals Chen Wu and Lu Dai alive.
Only Cai Mao's brother was a little depressed, Gan Ning and others comforted him for a while, and Lou Gui told him that he had suggested to the lord in the letter that he would posthumously seal Cai Zhong, Cai Mao also understood in his heart that the hounds would inevitably die on the mountain, and the general would not escape the mourning before the battle, and his younger brother could be regarded as a loyal martyr.
Liu Yong received Lou Gui's good news the next day and was overjoyed.
Liu Yongxi not only broke through Chaisang and defeated Zhou Tai, but also the surrender of Chen Wu and Lu Dai. For Jiangdong, he has recruited a lot of military generals in the history of Eastern Wu Wenchen in later generations, including Gan Ning, Su Fei, Wang Wei, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, Li Yi, and Lu Meng, and Wenchen Zhuge Jin, Lu Su, Grim, and Buzhi, which can be regarded as a great loss to Sun Quan.
Liu Yong even thought that if there were really ghosts in this world, Sun Jian and Sun Cequan would definitely come to him to ask for their lives. When he ran into himself, he could only blame Sun's bad luck, and Liu Yong could only mourn for Sun's silence.
Now that Chen Wu and Lu Dai have been recruited, it is the icing on the cake, both of them have the status of Zhong Xuan in the history of Eastern Wu, Chen Wu is also a brave general, although Lu Dai is a civil official, but he can lead troops to fight, and he is also a talent, how can he not be happy? But Liu Yong still regretted that Jiang Qin was beheaded by Gan Ning, this time, Sun Quan lost three available talents at once, and Jiangdong suffered a lot of losses.
In addition, in history, every time Sun Quan sent troops to Jingzhou, it was inevitable that the naval army would send troops from Chaisang, and now he has lost Chaisang, which can be said to have lost the bridgehead against Jingzhou, so that the troops of Yuzhang County can no longer join forces with the people and horses of Wuyue, but Liu Yong can take Chaisang as the frontier town and attack Jiangdong at any time.
Seeing Cai Zhong being beheaded by Zhou Taizhen, Liu Yong did not feel the slightest distress, this was originally cannon fodder, even Cai He was too, but unfortunately, this time he did not die, but in this life, Cai Zhong turned into a loyal martyr under his command. Liu Yong naturally thought of the scene at that time, and did not say anything, and directly crowned Cai Zhong as a partial general, listed as a loyal martyr in Jingzhou, and gave him a thick burial.
As for Lu Dai's family, he naturally understood what Lou Gui meant, and immediately summoned Liao Hua to come and sent capable people to Guangling Hailing with Lu Dai's handwritten letter to secretly pick up his family.
Liu Yong could pass the order, and Chen Wu was named the partial general, and Lu Dai was the Cheng of Chaisang County, and he was dispatched under Gan Ning to attack Yuzhang County together. At the same time, Huo Jun of Jiangxia was ordered to go to Chaisang to guard the town and work with Lu Dai to ensure the grain and grass of Ganning's people.
Three days later, Huo Jun, who received Liu Yong's order, could organize an army of 30,000 to go to Chaisang along the waterway, and Chen Wu and Lu Dai were naturally very grateful when they received Liu Yong's reward. Gan Ning also handed over Chen Wu's men and horses to Chen Wu to lead according to Liu Yong's order, preparing to attack Haidu.
When Cheng heard that the city of Chaisang was broken, he took the initiative to send an envoy to offer the city, so that Gan Ningbing could take Peng Ze without blood, and then he could send Zhang Hu to lead 5,000 men and horses to garrison Pengze, and Cai Mao led Cai He to take 10,000 horses to guard the mouth of the lake.
After seeing Chen Wu's handwritten letter, the Chen clan immediately expressed their loyalty to Liu Yong, and the Chen family recruited a total of 500 people to join Shamoke's command, and under the example of the Chen family, other clans also followed suit, and even let Shamoke's men and horses count the 1,000 defenders who surrendered, surging from 10,000 to 16,000.
Since Gao Ran got Liu Yong's order, he immediately sent a letter to Wei Yan, handing over the defense of Qisi, Yuanlu, and Luoxian to Wei Yan, Wei Yan naturally would not refuse this good thing, and taking over such a territory with his hands was equivalent to his own sphere of influence, and immediately let Chen Zhi replace Hou Cheng to guard Cai, and Hou Cheng took his 15,000 men and horses to Qisi to replace Gao Lan.
Gao Ran finally waited for Hou Cheng who came five days later, perhaps because they were both from Cao Cao's subordinates, the two met late and had a good conversation. Together with Xing Daorong, who had been seriously injured before, he was also thrown here directly by Wei Yan, and came with the army, and the three of them talked until midnight.
Gao Ran handed over the defense, and on the second day, Tianming immediately led 30,000 horses and horses to the south, preparing to enter Lujiang County and cross the Dabie Mountains along Anfeng and Yanlou to the south, and directly attack Anhui County.
Although Jiangdong also found out that Liu Yong had only ordered Gao Ran to go south, Dabie Mountain was like the Yangtze River moat, and it was difficult to cross, so he was not in a hurry, and the focus was on the Gan Ning army that had just captured Chaisang, defeated Zhou Tai, and captured Chen Wu and Lu Dai alive.
