Chapter 148: The War Dies

The Lujiang War failed, and the Jiangxia War resumed.

When Cai Mao led 10,000 sailors, his brothers Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Cai Xun were the deputy generals, and led ten large ships, not with small boats, to Jiangxia.

Huang Zu also re-recruited 8,000 troops, with Lu Gong as his general, to attack Yi County.

Yi County had already been arranged by Yang Xi to have Zu Lang here, leading 3,000 headquarters and 500 county soldiers, but he couldn't hold out, and Huang Zu had been attacking the city for two days and couldn't go down.

Zhou Tai and Mao Luan each led 3,000 troops, according to Zhang Xian in the west, Zhang Xian suffered the previous defeat, cowardly, and did not dare to hurry, until the three days of the war, only to step into the border of Wuchang County, and Zhou Tai Mao Luan soldiers camped and confronted.

Cai Mao led the water army to the Wuchang section of the Yangtze River, and wanted to avenge the previous great revenge, but Pang Tong had already received General Yang Xi's order and led the fortress fleet to greet him.

At first glance, the Bastion Fleet looks exactly like the Great Wave Fleet, but it is clear that the hull has the words "Huge Bastion" on it.

Cai Mao understood in an instant that he was getting farther and farther away from the Jiang Xia Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and the second fleet of the people was on the battlefield.

Pang Tong had already seen Cai Mao's fleet with a telescope, so he ordered the ships to only swim around his large ship and not get close.

When the distance is in range, it opens the window and shoots, and when the opponent returns fire, the window door is closed.

When Cai Mao lost one or two thousand soldiers, he knew that nothing could be done, so he ordered the fleet to return along the river. Pang Tong ordered the fleet to pursue for more than ten miles, and also led troops back to the port.

There was no big win or loss in the Jiangxia War, but the Lujiang War had come to an end.

Yang Xi hung Liu Xun's head out, and ordered all the soldiers to surround Shuxian, leaving only a gap in the east gate.

Han Dangzi didn't dare to rush out of the city to fight, and the two armies held each other for three days, and the battle finally spread out of the Lujiang River.

Yuan Shu received the battle report, scolded Yang Xi three times on the spot, and fell into a coma.

When Sun Ce received the battle report, he was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he scolded Liu Xun for being mediocre. Zhou Yu fell into contemplation, but Sun Ce understood that Zhou Yu's little uncle still had dozens of people in Shu County.

Sun Ce said: "Gong Jin! Is there a way to rescue it? ”

Zhou Yu said: "It's no longer conceivable, although I have all kinds of clever plans, but I can't reach it, now Yang Xi has ordered someone to block the Yangtze River, can you say otherwise, even if it passes, when you arrive in Shu County, it will already be many days later, and it is estimated that the city will be broken at that time." ”

"Then I can only withdraw the soldiers of Wuhu, repair another book, show favor to Yang Xi, and ask him to return to Gongjin's house, which can be regarded as not tearing his face with Yang Xi for the time being."

"That's all there is to it."

However, it was said that Yang Xi besieged it for three days, and Han Dang did not go to war or surrender, so Yang Xi ordered someone to shoot the letterhead into the city.

Han Dang opened the letter and read it, and the letter was to the effect that Han Dang could not surrender, but could lead 500 soldiers and horses, escort Zhou Yu's family, and defect to Sun Ce in Danyang, Yang Xi would definitely not be embarrassed, and escorted him across the river. If not, a great war would have occurred, and I don't know how many soldiers would have died, and how many families would have fallen into grief.

After receiving the letter, Han Dang thought about it for a day, and finally decided to agree to Yang Xi's suggestion, and on the fifth day, pack up and bring more than 70 members of Zhou Yu's family out of Dongcheng to the south to vote for Sun Ce.

Yang Xi is also really trustworthy, after all, he has not turned his face with Sun Ce at this time.

Han Dang thought as he walked, this was the great foundation of the young lord, but he was cut off by himself, this Yuan Shu, and the mediocre Liu Xun, were simply incompetent.

He blamed the wrong person, not because his teammates were too weak, but because his opponents were too strong.

After Han Dang left, Yang Xi learned about the details one by one, and felt that the history was really the same, Gan Xingba robbed Cao Ying with a hundred horses, and became a hundred horsemen to rob Liu Xun.

And Liao Wei's steady actions were also reported to Yang Xi by Lu Jun, Yang Xi gathered more than 10,000 prisoners and Shu County soldiers, and those who were willing to stay formed the fourth battalion of the guard corps, with Liao Wei as the commander of the fourth battalion.

But of the more than 10,000 people, only 2,000 are willing to stay, and the remaining seven or eight thousand are all unwilling to fight on the battlefield again.

Yan Xiang in the Dabie Mountain, leading the remnants of the army to move in it, when the news of the surrender of Shu County came, there were many escapees, Yan Xiang took the road back to Jiujiang, only more than 1,000 people remained.

Yang Xi arranged this side, non-stop, led the regiment Cai Kao, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning, with 9,000 soldiers, to the north to attack.

As for the 2,000 sailors led by Tai Shi Ci, they guarded Shu County together with Liao Wei's fourth battalion.

This time, Yang Xi's 9,000-strong army reached Longshu, and the Longshu defenders surrendered, but at this point, Yang Xi no longer went north, but gave the north to Yuan Shu to lead.

Because of Yang Xi's current influence, it is only to Longshu, and further north, even if he occupies it, it also borders Yuzhou.

Yang Xi doesn't want to participate in the mutual attack of the northern princes now, so let Yuan Shu take over.

Occupy Longshu, as long as there is a Chen soldier in Longshu, to the west is the Dabie Mountains, Yuan Shu has no way to enter, to the east is Shu County, this road is held, Lujiang is an iron bucket.

So Yang Xi ordered Tai Shi Ci to guard Longshu City, Cai Kao led the Chinese army to base outside the city, Liao Wei to guard Shu County, and Gan Ning to the east to Xiang'an.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers in Lujiang, all of which are defended by Cai Kao's guard corps, which must be foolproof. Once the railroad is connected, it will be even more iron-clad.

Yuan Shu's vitality was greatly injured, and he no longer mentioned grain and grass to Yang Xi.

He doesn't need much food and grass anymore, because the soldiers have changed from 50,000 to 30,000, and Yuan Shu, who once became the most powerful prince in history, is estimated to have no such opportunity.

Sun Ce withdrew the Danyang soldiers and directly gathered troops to attack Liu Xuan, who lost Qu'a and retreated to the Dantu.

Dantu is Liu Xuan's last retreat, and then retreat to the east is the sea, and to the north is the Yangtze River.

Sun Ce was pressing, and Liu Miao was already about to collapse.

Liu Miao was completely identical, counting his journey all the way, since he offended Jiangxia Yang Xi, Danyang County, which was originally gained, lost half of it in an instant, and then Sun Ce pressed forward step by step.

He didn't know that even if there was no Yang Xi, he would still be forced into the same situation by Sun Ce.

Liu Miao calculated, there were so many generals around him, all of them were killed, and now he has no thoughts, there is only one place to go, he can only go to Xuzhou to vote for Liu Bei.

So Liu Miao took a boat overnight, only took Xu Shao across the river, abandoned the Dantu, and went to Liu Bei to look north of the river.

Xu Shao is a good commentator on characters and is known for knowing people.

Before Cao Cao entered the office, he had prepared a generous courtesy and humbly asked Xu Shao to evaluate it. Xu Shaosu despised Cao Cao as a person, and had no choice but to comment: "Jun Qingping's traitor, the hero of troubled times." Cao Cao was overjoyed and left. Xu Shao and his brother Xu Jing are both known for knowing people, and they check the people in the party in their township every month to evaluate their tastes, which is called "Yuedan Evaluation" at the time.

After the world was in turmoil, Xu Shao defected to Yangzhou to assassinate Liu Xuan.

Sun Ce broke through Qu'a, Liu Miao took Xu Shao and ran to Liu Bei, but he was already very ill, Liu Miao knew that he was dying, but he also took him on the road.

At this time, Liu Bei learned the news of Lujiang, and he was embarrassed, and thought to himself, he had already known that he would demonstrate to Yuan Shu Chen Bing, and he should have a good reputation with Yang Xi.

No one expected that it would be Yang Xi, who was attacked left and right, who finally won the victory and expanded his territory.

Huang Zu received the battle report, and without waiting for Zu Lang to react, he quietly withdrew his troops, and Zhang Xian couldn't ask for it, so the Jiangxia war also automatically went out.

At this time, even in the middle of November, when heavy snow was about to fall, Yang Xi led a 500-member security regiment back to Jiangxia, and ordered Zhang Zhao to be the governor of Lujiang County, leading more than 300 managers at all levels to divide the counties into various counties and engage in industrial, peasant, and commercial reform.

At this point, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong divided the north and south to govern Lujiang and Danyang, and each became a big official.

Originally, Zhang Zhao was in charge of all the agriculture in Chenhe District, but now because Wuchang Port has been built impressively, Pang Tong has political capital, and Yang Xi was transferred back to Pang Tong to lead the entire Chenhe Control District Agriculture Minister.
