Chapter 2007: Chen Ying's Conspiracy (Page 1/1)

After entering the scope of the county seat, Zhao Fan attached great importance to the arrival of Xiahoudun and led the troops, and led the civil officials and generals of Guiyang County out of the city for more than ten miles to greet him, giving Xiahoudun enough face.

Entering the county town, when the flags fluttering on the city wall were replaced by the banners of the Han army, and the city gates were all in his hands, Xiahoudun still had a dreamlike feeling, originally thought that leading the troops to attack Changsha County and Guiyang County would be a bitter battle, but he didn't expect the ease of the war to be beyond expectations.

However, in this battle, it was the family of Jingzhou that played the most important role, and it was precisely because of the support of the family that after the army entered Jingzhou, it was easy to achieve more victories, and the ability of the family to show on such a battlefield should not be underestimated.

If the family supports a monarch, it will be easier for the monarch to win on the battlefield, just like Cao Jun's attack on Jingnan County this time, basically Cao Jun did not make too many moves, and it was all the family that contributed to it.

"General, General Cao Ren led a large army to attack Lingling County, and now the commanders of Lingling County, Zhu Zhi and Jiang Qin, led the remnants of the defeated army into Guiyang County." A general stepped forward with an excited face.

Xiahoudun's eyes lit up after hearing this, although it was important to break through Guiyang County, but he did not catch any important generals in the Jiangdong Army, whether it was Jiang Qin or Zhu Zhi, it was a high-status general in the Jiangdong Army, if he was caught, it would definitely be a matter of raising his eyebrows.

"The tiger and leopard cavalry is ordered to prepare for battle, and General Ben will lead the cavalry to defeat these rebels." Xiahoudun ordered.

Zhao Fan was dumbfounded after hearing the news that Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi had lost Lingling County, obviously he didn't expect Lingling County to be lost so quickly, including the loss of Changsha County before, which was completely unexpected.

"General, Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi are fierce generals in the Jiangdong Army, if you want to capture them, is it a little inappropriate to just rely on hundreds of cavalry." Chen Yingdao, who had just defected to the imperial court, naturally wanted to be able to behave in front of the generals under Cao Cao, and if he could be appreciated by Xiahoudun, he would definitely be able to obtain a higher status in the army in the future.

Xiahoudun turned his gaze to Chen Ying and asked, "I don't know what General Chen's opinion is?" ”

Chen Ying hugged his fists and said: "General, Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi don't know that the general has occupied Guiyang County, but the counties along the way are not embarrassed Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi, after Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi enter the city, they will suddenly be in trouble, why not be afraid of the two of them." ”

Xiahoudun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he shouted: "Block the city gate, and no one is allowed to leak the news." ”

Cao Jun seized Guiyang County, this kind of thing is difficult to hide, at such a time, it is necessary to close the city gate, otherwise the people and merchants who come and go will leak the matter of Cao Jun's attack on Guiyang County.

The city gate was closed, which made the people in the city panic, but in the face of the well-dressed Cao army soldiers, they did not dare to disobey too much, so they could only obey the order.

Xiahoudun's speed was relatively fast, so that the news of the attack on Guiyang County did not spread.

Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi led the army to Guiyang County, originally the two of them had more than 6,000 people in their hands, after the defeat of Lingling County, there were only nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses left in their hands, Lingling County fought a battle, the strength was reduced by fifty, this loss was a great blow to the morale of the army, why many soldiers in Jingzhou supported the Jiangdong Army, it was because the Jiangdong Army had shown strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, they were invincible under the leadership of Sun Ce, but now, Sun Ce died, and the Jiangdong Army failed repeatedly on the battlefield, let the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army think.

In fact, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, whether it is the Jingzhou Army or the Jiangdong Army, they are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and Cao Cao represents the imperial court at this time, even after they take refuge in the Cao Army, there is no psychological barrier, not that the Jiangdong Army and the Cao Army are enemies of life and death.

Defection to the Cao Army, for the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army, is not unacceptable, in the troubled times, human life is like a mustard, the ordinary soldiers in the army are even more so, they also hope to be able to survive in the troubled times, surrender is even more common for ordinary soldiers, when facing the enemy, do not want to die, only surrender, after surrendering, can still survive and breathe.

In such an atmosphere, the Jiangdong army kept fleeing from the ranks of Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi, and they did not want to follow Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi to die in Guiyang County.

Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi have a lot of confidence in the next battle, as long as the army retreats to Guiyang County, defends the attack of Cao's army, and waits for the situation in Jingzhou to change, maybe they can take the opportunity to recapture the lost Changsha County and Lingling County from Cao's army's forehead.

If Guiyang County is in the hands of the Jiangdong Army, it will be able to divide the strength of the Cao Army to a great extent, and if Guiyang County is lost, the Cao Army on the battlefield of Jingnan County will be able to calmly dispatch to the battlefield of Jiangxia, and the situation will be even more unfavorable for the Jiangdong Army.

Jiang Qin is also a strategic general, and he still understands these truths.

"General Zhu, General Ben got the news a few days ago that Xiahoudun led his troops to attack Guiyang County, I don't know what the situation is?" Jiang Qin suddenly asked, after the matter of Lingling County and Changsha County, he did not have much confidence in the defenders of Guiyang County, if Xiahoudun led the troops directly into Guiyang County, their situation would be even more critical.

Zhu Zhi said: "Although Zhao Fan and Chen Ying, the general of the army, are from Jingzhou, they are absolutely obedient to King Wu's orders in peacetime, as long as we enter Guiyang County, Zhao Fan and Chen Ying will inevitably hand over the military power in their hands." ”

Zhao Fan and Chen Ying defected to Cao Jun, in Zhu Zhi's opinion, it is unlikely, since Zhao Fan became Guiyang Taishou, the orders of Jiangdong can be carried out to the letter, judging from the reaction of the generals of the Jiangdong Army in Guiyang County, Zhao Fan is loyal to Jiangdong.

"I have to guard against it, Cao Cao's methods are unpredictable, Changsha County and Lingling County are lost so quickly, after they reach Jiangdong, they will definitely cause Jiangdong to shake." Jiang Qin said that the loss of the two counties could be imagined as a blow to Jiangdong, but in the face of the loss of the two places, Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi had no solution.

The two failures were both defeats in the internal response, even if a city is strong, if there is a problem inside, it will be very difficult to defend it.
