However, it was said that after Liu Qi recovered Xinye and Anzhong counties, he ordered Wang Wei and Lu Fan to lead troops to garrison, and then returned to Xiangyang with Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu and others.

Because it is now the period of filial piety for his father Liu Biao, although because of the unstable situation, Liu Qi, as the lord of Jingzhou, is impossible to mourn for three years, but he still kept his filial piety for a month, and then asked Liu Hu and his wife and Kuai Ruyu to keep filial piety on their behalf, so they led an army of 10,000 from Xiangyang to Lingyang.

Because not long ago, Liu Qi heard the report that Jiang Wan and Du Xi of Huiji had successfully broken the main force of Shanyue entrenched in Songyang, Taimo, Wusheng, and Zhang'an counties, and later Liao Li, the general of Diannong, used the Juntian method of providing arable land, seeds, ploughing cattle and Jingzhou ploughs as bait to attract those Shanyue people who had failed militarily to come and take refuge, and this move allowed Liu Qi to finally completely control these counties.

In fact, those Shanyue people are generally poor and bored will gather to loot, if they can have a stable life, they are not willing to raise troops against the Han people, now see that those new Han army after the victory, not only did not plunder them, but like the Han people, not only to distribute land, but also to provide seeds, cattle and other things, the heart has long been extremely satisfied, so only after a short period of hesitation and suspicion, At last, some of the people couldn't help but sneak to the camp of the general farmer and expressed their willingness to join.

And when they saw that General Diannong had provided them with seeds, land, ploughs, and oxen, they were finally completely relieved. As for Liao Li's proposal to let them train and fight in their spare time, they didn't hesitate at all, these Shanyue people were martial arts, and this kind of thing was normal for them.

Therefore, on the one hand, these people thanked the general named Liao Li, and on the other hand, without waiting for Liao Li's orders, they took the initiative to return to the ** group and tell those tribesmen that this new Han army was really willing to accept their subordination.

So except for a few nobles who have always been attached to the Sun clan in Jiangdong, almost all the clansmen packed up their belongings and gathered to go to Liao Li, the general of Diannong, and those nobles tried to stop this behavior of the clansmen at the beginning, but they were powerless to find that their actions were like mantis arms as a car, and those ordinary people who were usually in awe of them were now unable to listen to their advice at all, but surrounded them, forcing them to respect the choices of the people, and even some impatient people took up their weapons, If they don't agree, they will inevitably be besieged directly by the angry people.

Therefore, in desperation, these nobles had no choice but to agree to the people's request, and let them freely choose to go or stay. Even several of the nobles defected to Liao Li along with the people.

As a result, in less than half a month, nearly 100,000 people defected before and after, almost more than eighty percent of the total number of people in Shanyue in these counties.

Most of the remaining nobles who refused to belong were old nobles who were attached to the Sun clan in Jiangdong, but they were all pacified by the army led by Du Xian, and all the noble leaders were killed, and their families were reduced to slaves.

Because these counties are located in Lingnan, and the temperature is suitable for cultivation all year round, they immediately planted rice with the help of Liao Li, the general of Diannong, and then responded to Liao Li's request and went to the Diannong General's Mansion to assemble and train together.

After hearing that the southern counties of Huiji were finally completely pacified, Liu Qi couldn't help but be excited, now Jingzhou and Jiaozhou have been leveled, and Yu Ban of Lujiang has won a big victory, seizing the land south of Hefei in Jiujiang County in one fell swoop.

On the way to Lingyang, Liu Qi ordered Jiang Wan and Du Xian of Huiji to mobilize troops and begin to attack Zhuji, in order to be able to put enough pressure on the other party, Liu Qi also ordered Deng Zhi of Cangwu and Huang Zhong of Changsha to lead Liu Pan to lead their respective armies to rendezvous, and designated Jiang Wan as the main general and Du Raid as the military division, commanding an army of 50,000, and taking Zhuji at any cost, threatening Shanyin to force Sun Quan to abandon Danyang and transfer troops from Anwu to defend.

At the same time, Liu Qi also ordered Yu Ban in Lujiang, Gan Ning in Hulin Port, Wei Yan in Lingyang, and Xu Shu in Shexian to be ready to attack Anwu at any time.

It's just half a month later, Huang Zhong and Liu Pan's army came to Wusheng and joined Jiang Wan's army, and Du Xian at the time of this time had already been secretly assembled, leading the army to quietly rush from Zhang'an to Wusheng, and now Zhang'an only has a 1,000-strong army of Liao Li, the general of Diannong, and a ragtag army composed of 10,000 people in Shanyue, although it looks very strong, but it is just a vain appearance.

In addition, Liao Li also has to find a way to appease those Shanyue people and prevent them from taking the opportunity to make trouble, killing people and goods, so the current situation can only barely be maintained without chaos, if one is not careful, I am afraid that Liao Li will immediately fall into a situation from which he will never recover.

Fortunately, after these days of experience, Liao Li now has a very outstanding talent, and can handle the relationship that seems complicated at present, at least to ensure that those Shanyue people do not dare to have the idea of rebellion at present.

But even so, today's Zhang An can only defend himself, not to mention taking the initiative to send troops to fight, even if the enemy army attacks the city, it may have unpredictable consequences.

However, Liao Li did not tell him about these difficulties, but said very definitely that he would definitely be able to appease those Shanyue people and ensure that Zhang An would be fine.

Du Xi knew that Liao Li was indeed very talented, and the order of the lord Liu Qi was very resolute and could not be questioned, so he could only choose to believe it, not to mention that Liao Li still had a thousand elite soldiers in his hands after all, and it was not a big problem to ensure that he escaped at a critical moment.

Du Xi reluctantly stopped thinking about Zhang An's affairs, slowly calmed down, and said to Jiang Wan: "General, now that our army has been assembled, what should we do next?" Please give the general an order. ”

Jiang Wan looked at Liu Pan and the others with some embarrassment, and said: "This should be said, General Wenwei (Liu Pan) is the younger brother of the lord, and the generals should be in charge by you, but since the lord is ordered again, the general does not dare to refuse, so he has to reluctantly let the princes listen to my dispatch for the time being." ”

Liu Pan said with a smile: "General Gongyan should be polite, this general also has self-knowledge, let me lead the army to charge into battle alone, and attack the city for the lord, then naturally I didn't say anything, but if I was asked to dispatch the team and plan and arrange, it would really make me embarrassed." Among us, General Gongyan led a large army from the South China Sea all the way here, and he is most familiar with the environment and geography here, and the Jiangdong sergeant knows your reputation, so this time we are all naturally dispatched by you. ”

Huang Zhong also smiled and said: "Yes, General Gongyan, you don't have to be polite, this matter of attacking the city and capturing the village will be handed over to the last general and General Wenwei, and the things planned and planned are naturally planned by you and Du Zixu, who are scholars, but this general is built yì, we should march immediately, and don't you say that the soldiers are fast?" We should all surprise him, and when Sun Quan reacts, he will directly send troops to occupy Zhuji, as long as Zhuji is occupied, we can pose a threat to Shanyin, and Sun Quan will send troops to guard Shanyin under fear. ”

Jiang Wan smiled, glanced at Du Xian, and then asked, "What is Zixu's mind?" ”

Du Xun nodded and said: "The last general's idea is exactly the same as General Huang, we must take Zhuji as quickly as possible, and we must not give the enemy any time to react, once Sun Quan sends reinforcements from Shanyin, our siege plan is equivalent to a failure, so we will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Jiang Wan nodded and said: "The general's idea coincides with General Huang Lao and Zixu, since we all have the same opinion, then we will act immediately, everyone will rush to Zhuji overnight, and wait until tomorrow morning to attack the city immediately." ”

Seeing that the others had no opinions, Jiang Wan immediately ordered that the team of 50,000 people be divided into four teams, led by himself, Du Xi, Huang Zhong, and Liu Pan, and after a full meal in the afternoon, he immediately set off for Zhuji, and must strive to complete the encirclement of Zhuji before the dawn of the next day, and prepare for the siege of the city.

At that moment, everyone went back to prepare, and in the afternoon, the 50,000 army under the command of the four generals went to Zhuji.

Due to everyone's careful calculation, when there were still fifty miles away from Zhuji, the sky was just dark, and the army continued to march towards Zhuji under the cover of night.

After a short rest, before dawn the next day, the 50,000-strong army built the earth mountain, and then under the cover of the archers on the earth mountain, the soldiers carried the earth to fill the river, and then quickly pushed the made ladder and began to launch the siege battle.

Because they didn't expect Liu Qi's Jingzhou army to come to the city as if falling from the sky, the defenders of Zhuji were not fully prepared to defend the city, so as soon as they heard the drums outside the city, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing, and the soldiers defending the city in Zhuji City were all panicked, so they hurriedly sent troops to the city to defend it.

However, after only such a short delay, the fighter plane was seriously delayed, and the 40,000 army, inspired by the two brave generals Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, who took the lead, quickly climbed to the top of the city and launched a fierce confrontation with the enemy army on the head of the city.

With the passage of time and the brave battles of Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, there were more and more Jingzhou troops on the city, and later they even completely suppressed the defenders on the city, forming a one-sided massacre.

Soon after, the Jingzhou army at the head of the city killed the west city gate, opened the city gate, and let Jiang Wan and Du Xi and others under the city enter the city.
