Chapter 335: Liu Biao is also dead
After Su Chen occupied Nanyang, he immediately ordered Zhang Fei and Sun Ce to besiege Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was a bird with a frightened bow, and he was terrified when he heard that Cao Cao was forced to death by Su Chen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ji Ling finally died in the hands of Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei drove straight in, tens of thousands of soldiers came to the city, Yuan Shu heard the news, and was directly stunned, and when he woke up, he knew that he was now embattled.
The soldiers in Pingyu City went out of the city to surrender one after another, and Yuan Shu's cronies also rebelled and left, and the dead died, and the surrendered fell, and finally Yuan Shu still had some backbone, ignited the fire in the palace, and died by self-immolation.
After Zhang Fei entered the city, he immediately put out the fire, and finally snatched back the jade seal of the heirloom, as for Yuan Shu, he was already too dead to die anymore.
Su Chen gave full authority to Zhang Fei and Sun Ce for the war in Runan, and after the war, he appointed Zhang Fei as the governor of Yuzhou, and Yuan Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou.
Yuan Lian is not a member of Yuan Shu's clan, but from the son of Yuan Peng, the ancestor of the Yuan family in Chen County, Yuan Lian once served as Situ, Yuan Lian is also a family scholar, and appointing Yuan Lian as the assassin is also his consideration after synthesizing Yuan Shu's official reputation, mainly to appease Yuan Shu's old ministers.
It is worth mentioning that most of Yuan Shu's generals were killed in the Battle of Yangzhou, and the remaining Ji Ling was also killed by Zhang Fei, and there were still a few of Yuan Shu's strategists, except for Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's diehard loyalist who followed Yuan Shu, the rest surrendered.
Yuan Shu's heir, Su Chen, did not kill them all, no matter what, he and the Yuan family also became in-laws, and even Yuan Shang was only temporarily placed under house arrest.
However, Gongsun Xu's uncle and nephew fell into the hands of Su Chen, and Su Chen was a little undecided about these two people, so he temporarily ordered someone to watch them up, and he might be able to use them in the future.
After Su Chen joined Sun Ce, 500,000 troops gathered in Xinye, Jingzhou was like a great enemy for a while, Su Chen came with the power of a great victory, and the entire Xiangyang was shrouded in an atmosphere of fear.
Su Chen did not immediately send troops to attack Xiangyang, but gave Su Jin an order to attack Changsha and be sure to drag Liu Pan's army in Changsha.
Su Jin made meritorious contributions, and with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, he conquered several cities in Changsha in a row, and quickly emptied all the people and property in the city when Liu Pan's army did not have time to rescue, and then returned to Yuzhang again.
Su Jin also angered Liu Pan this time, Liu Pan personally led an army of 30,000 to attack Yuzhang, but when he was fighting, a veteran in Liu Pan's army actually defeated Han Hao and Guan Ping several generals in a row, and even Su Jin's newly recruited generals Lu Meng and Zhu Huan were not the opponents of this veteran.
Fortunately, this veteran showed mercy and did not kill anyone, Su Jin was taken by the momentum of the veteran, and he did not dare to attack for a while, and reported the situation to Su Chen.
After Su Chen saw the information, he thought about it, Changsha veteran, could it be that Huang Zhong?
In the early years, when he was in Luoyang, he heard Huang Zhong's reputation for bravely entering the hero building, but after looking for a long time, he did not find Huang Zhong's figure, and now seeing this information, he dared to conclude that the veteran in Changsha must be Huang Zhong.
Su Jin's group of boys are just starting out, how can they be Huang Zhong's opponents, Huang Zhong had that kind of strength back then, and now he is afraid that he has broken through the Shenwu Realm and become the masters of the Shenwu Realm, but why is such a master in Liu Panjun?
I didn't understand it, he didn't continue to think about it, but was going to let Dian Wei go to Yuzhang to deal with Huang Zhong, even if the current Zhao Yun might not be able to, only Dian Wei could be Huang Zhong's opponent.
After Dian Wei came to Yuzhang, Su Jin and others respected him very much, the Yan army and the Chu army fought again, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong fought for a day and a night, and finally Huang Zhong was defeated, Su Jin took advantage of the situation to send troops to cover up and occupy, occupied most of Changsha, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong retreated to southern Hunan with the remnants of the defeated army.
Su Jin accepted Zhuge Liang's suggestion, and after gaining a foothold in Changsha, he did not expand again, but quieted down to recuperate.
Su Jin's tens of thousands of troops are firmly rooted in the land of Jingnan like a nail, whether it is Wuling in the west or Lingling Guiyang in the south, they have been exposed to his troops, but their task is not to conquer the four counties of Jingnan in one fell swoop, and with their little strength, even if they completely occupy the four counties of Jingnan, there are not so many troops stationed in the army, so this is not their task, their task is just to drag Liu Pan's army and prevent Jingnan from sending a single soldier to support Xiangyang.
At the same time, Zhou Yu also launched an attack on Jiangxia, Jiangxia's navy still had some combat strength in the Huangzu period, but later in the Zhang Yun period, the navy's military expenses were seriously deducted, so that the warship fell into disrepair, and no new warships were built for several years, and the original sailors and non-commissioned officers also deducted military salaries and ate empty salaries, resulting in a lack of training and extremely low combat effectiveness.
After Liu Qi arrived in Jiangxia, he received such a mess, although Liu Qi was a little literate, he could hand over a county to him, but he also became a puppet puppet raised by the people below, and the biggest family in Jiangxia was the Huang family.
This Huang family is Huang Wan's family, Jiangxia Huang was also a famous family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, from the Anlu Huang family, Huang Zhong, Huang Zu, and Huang Gai are all from the Anlu Huang family, but these people are not related, at best, they have a common ancestor.
Huang Wan's grandfather is Huang Qiong, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Yan is Huang Qiong's grandson, so Huang Wan and Liu Yan are also related, Huang Wan's clan is no longer in Jiangxia, and now the biggest force in Jiangxia is Huang Zu's family.
Huang Zu has served as the Taishou of Jiangxia for many years, although he has been demoted now, but his power in Jiangxia is still there, and Liu Qi's skills will definitely not be able to fight these heroes, so Liu Qi has not done much after taking office.
Zhou Yu sent troops from Chaisang to attack Jiangxia, Jiangxia's navy was not Zhou Yu's opponent at all, Zhou Yu soon occupied Xia, tens of thousands of sailors landed in Xiapheasant, after landing, Zhou Yu did not continue to march in one go, but renovated the dock in Xiapheasant, and tens of thousands of troops seemed to be ready to stay here for a long time.
Liu Qi successively sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Zhou Yu's camp, but they were all repelled by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.
The battle reports of Changsha and Jiangxia were soon sent to Xiangyang, Xiangyang is now Cai Mao's world, I have to say that the Cai family's power in Xiangyang is really big, Huang Chengyan is the son-in-law of Nanjun Dashi Cai Wei, that is to say, Cai Mao is Huang Chengyan's brother-in-law.
As we all know, Huang Chengyan is the leader of Jingzhou Shilin, and he is good friends with Pang Degong and Sima Wei, which means that the Cai family has the support of Jingzhou Shilin behind him. As for Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang brothers, these two are also related to the Cai family by marriage, and the Cai family is a relative, and now Liu Biao is seriously ill, and the power of Jingzhou naturally falls into the hands of Cai Mao.
After Cai Mao received the news from Jiangxia and Changsha, he did not do anything to respond, and now Liu Biao's condition is deteriorating, and Su Chen's 500,000 troops are stationed in Xinye, which really casts a shadow on Xiangyang.
As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, just when the future of Xiangyang was uncertain, Cai Mao suddenly got the news of the palace that Liu Biao died.
"What? Did the King of Chu really collapse? ”
"Returning to the general, this matter is true, the queen has now blocked the news, just waiting for the general to enter the palace to preside over the overall situation!"
Cai Mao thought about it and felt that this should not be a trick set up by Liu Biao, he had not forgotten what happened to He Jin in the past, so even if he entered the palace, he also brought a large number of sergeants.
After entering the palace, I saw my sister crying into tears, Cai Mao first went to visit Liu Biao's body, and saw that Liu Biao had really swallowed his breath, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then comforted Cai and said: "Sister, don't be sad, the top priority is to quickly mourn the king of Chu, and then gather hundreds of civil and military officials, so that Cong'er can inherit the unification of the king of Chu." ”
When Cai Mao said this, Cai stopped crying and asked, "But, brother, the king of Chu did not leave an edict, how should this be?" ”
"What's so hard about that?" All this was expected by Cai Mao, who quickly forged the edict and said: "This is the edict of the king of Chu, the king of Chu summoned the order to let Liu Cong inherit the title." ”
The next day, the news of Liu Biao's death spread all over Jingzhou, and the whole Xiangyang fell into grief, no matter how weak Liu Biao was, over the years, Liu Biao protected the territory and the people, and kept Jingzhou away from the war in the Central Plains, which can be said to be a great achievement, countless displaced people yearn for the prosperity of Jingzhou, and rushed to flee to Jingzhou, and it was Liu Biao who gave them food.
Now that Liu Biao has died, the entire Xiangyang has been cast a shadow, and soon, Cai Mao summoned hundreds of civil and military officials, took out Liu Biao's edict, and let Liu Cong succeed to the throne and mourn for Liu Biao.
Jingzhou civil and military know that Liu Biao is the most favored second son Liu Cong in front of him, and he doesn't like the eldest son Liu Qi, and even sends Liu Qi to Jiangxia, and now Cai Mao takes out Liu Biao's edict, no one has any objections, and now the Yan army is ready to move in the north, at this time, it is necessary to determine the ownership of the throne as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy.
Just after Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, Liu Qi of Jiangxia ignored the obstruction of his subordinates, and also forgot that Zhou Yu's army was on the side, and actually returned to Xiangyang to mourn, after returning to Xiangyang, he learned that Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, Liu Qi was panicked again, for fear that Liu Cong would take his life, you must know that the two have always been at odds.
Liu Qi was afraid, found Kuai Yue, and asked him to save his life, the Kuai brothers are now in poor health, so they are all in charge of Kuai Yuecai, Liu Qi's call for help Kuai Yue can not be ignored, how to say it is also Liu Biao's bloodline, so Kuai Yue let Liu Qi live in his house, and returned to Jiangxia after the funeral.
When Su Chen learned of Liu Biao's death, he immediately sighed that the time had come, and immediately summoned the three armies, sent troops to Xiangyang in a few days, and at the same time gave orders to Zhou Yu and Su Jin, let Zhou Yu capture Jiangxia South County, let Su attack Changsha Wuling, and he personally led his troops to attack Xiangyang, and the entire Jingzhou was surrounded by the Yan army.
