The fourth round was to plunder the counties according to Poyang
caught Xu Sheng, which gave Zhang Yi an unexpected joy, this is a talent sent to the door! He wanted to persuade Xu Sheng to surrender, but if Xu Sheng didn't surrender, Zhang Yi decided to kill him and summon a general for himself.
"Are you willing to surrender?"
Xu Sheng is very entangled! He didn't want to surrender, the matter of surrender was a stain, and once he surrendered, this shame would definitely follow him for the rest of his life.
But he didn't want to die! He had just come out, and his ambition died before he was paid, and he was unwilling. And he is only in his twenties, and Sun Quan doesn't have much kindness to him, so he can't do it if he dies for Sun Quan.
Zhang Yi saw that Xu Sheng didn't speak, and knew that he didn't really want to die, so he said: "Don't worry, as long as you surrender, I won't let you fight with Sun Quan, I will send you to Xia Cai to be a county lieutenant." ”
When Xu Sheng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sheng wishes to descend!" ”
Zhang Yi is very satisfied, Xu Sheng has surrendered, and he doesn't need to kill again. So Zhang Yi sent someone to take Xu Sheng to Xia Cai, and Cai Wei at the moment.
Zhang Yi is now consciously strengthening the defense of the north, because he doesn't know when Cao Cao will come back to him, but it's always good to be prepared.
Zhang Yi ordered Fu Youde to defend Pengze and capture Wuyang, which was located on the east side of Poyang Lake, southwest of Pengze, and was the only county on the east side of Poyang Lake other than Pengze.
There is Li Junbu wandering in Poyang Lake, and Fu Youde doesn't need too many troops to defend it after taking Wuyang.
Zhang Yi divided the institute into two parts, Fan Lihua led 5,000 people to attack Chaisang, and Zhang Yi himself took Li Jing, Wei Wentong, and Lei Xu to march into Nanchang.
Nanchang County was the seat of Yuzhang County, where Sun Ben resisted the attack of Liu Qi in Changsha. Tai Shi Ci's garrison in Haiyang County was the first line of defense against Liu Chi.
Chaisang has always been an important place for soldiers, and it guards the mouth of Poyang Lake, called Chaisangkou. Sun Quan also knew its importance, so he sent Xu Sheng over to defend. Because once it is occupied by the enemy, the entire Poyang Lake will become the enemy's bag, and he can arbitrarily attack the counties around Poyang Lake.
The counties of Yuzhang County are the richest around Poyang Lake, and taking Poyang Lake is equivalent to taking a part of Yuzhang's Wuyang, Chaisang, Liling, Nanchang, Haidu, Poyang, Yuhan and other counties, which is the most essence of Yuzhang.
Fu Youde attacked Wuyang, which was close to Poyang Lake, and the terrain was so low that after a few hundred years, Wuyang City was even submerged by Poyang Lake.
It is still easier to attack such a city, because the terrain is low, and when the soldiers attack the city, they actually go downhill, and the speed is faster than usual.
And the ladder pushes faster, which is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. So Sun Ben didn't leave too many people to defend here, Fu Youde just pushed the cloud ladder to the bottom of the city and attacked the city.
Fan Lihua attacked Chaisang very quickly, and she directly led the naval army to transport the soldiers outside Chaisang's city.
Because Fan Lihua knew how to use the navy, Zhang Yi handed over more than ten warships of the navy to her command.
Fan Lihua will disembark from the warship and let the navy cruise on the river. Because Chaisang was close to the river, the water army was soon discovered in the city, and attention was attracted to it.
Fan Lihua took the opportunity to attack the city, and there were only more than 300 defenders in Chaisang, and some of them were attracted to the side of the river. Therefore, Fan Lihua also directly attacked the city, and even the high-level ladder was useless, and the low-level ladder was directly used.
After occupying Chaisang, Fan Lihua immediately ordered the navy to establish a water village in Chaisangkou, and then Fan Lihua left a thousand people to garrison Chaisang, and he took the rest of the people to the southeast to attack Liling County.
Liling County is even weaker than Chaisang's defense, with only more than 100 people defending, Fan Lihua directly waved his army to attack the city, and entered the city in less than half an hour.
After taking Liling, Fan Lihua left 1,000 people to garrison, and then with the remaining 3,000 people, he returned directly to Chaisang and began to organize defense.
Chaisang borders Shaxian County in Jiangxia County, and Huang Zu often sent people to Chaisang County to plunder, and Zhang Yi sent Fan Lihua to Chaisang to defend against Huang Zu's attack.
Huang Zu is a general in Jingzhou, but his ability is not outstanding. He mainly occupies the family advantage, the Huang family is a Jingzhou clan, and Zhang Yi suspects that Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhong may be members of the Huang family.
Of course, this is unverified, just Zhang Yi's speculation. As for Zhang Yi's speculation, of course, the Huang family is a big family, Huang Chengyan is Liu Biao's brother-in-law, and he married the daughter of the Cai family, if Huang Chengyan is not a member of the Huang family, he is not qualified to marry the daughter of the Cai family at all, because the door is wrong.
And what about Huang Zhong! There is also evidence, in ancient times, it was said that the poor were rich and martial. Huang Zhong's martial arts are strong, otherwise it would be impossible to kill Xiahou Yuan in his ancient years. If Huang Zhong was not a member of the Huang family, then it would be difficult for Huang Zhong to practice a good martial arts. And according to ancient records, Huang Zhong once got a red blood knife, and the way he got it should have been bought, which shows that Huang Zhong's family is wealthy, and only people from the Huang family can better explain Huang Zhong's family wealth.
To get back to the point, Zhang Yi landed directly in Nanchang with more than 10,000 people, and then marched to Nanchang with great fanfare, and then asked Li Jun to take Lei Xu's troops to attack Poyang and Yuhan counties.
As soon as Zhang Yi landed here, Sun Ben's side got the news. As a county guard, Sun Ben's sources are much better than those county seats.
When Cheng Pu returned to Jiangdong after defeat, he sent a message to Sun Ben and asked Sun Ben to pay attention to the Lujiang side. Sun Ben has also been paying attention to Lujiang, and when Fu Youde captured the tun in Anhui County, he got the news.
However, because most of his soldiers were in Nanchang and Haidu, resisting Liu Qi's attack, he had no troops at all.
Sun Ben asked Sun Quan for help, if Sun Quan didn't send troops over, most of Yuzhang would be owned by Zhang Yi. This bane was planted when Sun Ben accepted Hua Xin's surrender.
During Hua Xin's governance of Yuzhang, there were not many defenders in Yuzhang, and there were only one or two thousand people in the whole county, and they were barely able to do normal defense.
This is the role of celebrities, Hua Xin relied on his reputation to manage Yuzhang County very well, not only did there be no bandits, but even Shanyue did not intrude.
Sun Ben brought thousands of people to receive Yuzhang County, but because of Liu Qi's attack, these people were stationed in Nanchang, Haidu, and Jiancheng, and the other counties still maintained the previous numbers, but the people were replaced, and Sun Ben replaced the original defenders of each county with his own people
Therefore, when Zhang Yi's men attacked the counties, they could sweep all the way without much effort.
However, not long after the envoy sent by Sun Ben left, Zhang Yi crossed the river, and then kept calling with lightning speed.
Sun Ben saw the enemy soldiers approaching the city, so he had to send someone to deliver a letter to Tai Shici.
