Chapter 209: Huang Chong's Northern Expedition
The news of Sun Hao's madness reached Chaisang, and Sun Xiu immediately laughed when he heard it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General, congratulations, Sun Hao's behavior like this, I'm afraid he has offended all the wealthy families in Jiangdong, and now he still dares to come out, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back on this trip!"
Bu Yan followed Sun Xiu, and naturally had to think about Sun Xiu, as well as himself and his family, and was happy from the bottom of his heart when he heard this.
However, he also felt a hint of crisis, after all, there were many Jiangdong clans, stronger than them, and there were many people with prestige, if they defected to Sun Xiu at that time, then his position would be shaken.
"General, since Sun Hao's family has chilled all the scholars, why don't you let Zhang Bu know this news, so maybe we don't have to spend any more troops to fight here!"
I have to say that Wu Yan is a very fast person, and he pointed out the key points at once.
When Sun Xiu heard this, he immediately clapped his palms and laughed, and said:
"Good idea, General Ben will send someone to tell Zhang Cheqi, I believe he will think about his family."
"No, no, general, no!"
Just as Sun Xiu was about to send someone out, a familiar voice came, but it startled Sun Xiu and hurriedly said:
"Mr. Yanqiu came just in time, why not, I hope Mr. will preach for me."
Although Sun Xiu was a little displeased, he still maintained the humility he deserved, and treated Zhan Yuan and was kind.
"Hmph, Mr. Zhan is not from my Jiangdong, and he will not care about the lives of my Jiangdong soldiers."
Wu Yan's suggestion was vetoed by a person who was nothing, which also aroused his dissatisfaction, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Wu Yan's words are very clear, you are nothing but the Jin Dynasty surrendered troops, and it proves that although Zhan Yuan surrendered on the surface, he actually had a plot to secretly communicate with the Jin people and want to consume the combat power of the Wu State.
"General Wu, pay attention to your words, Mr. Yanqiu is not that kind of person, quickly apologize to Mr.!"
"Humph!"
Wu Yan snorted coldly, turned directly to the side, and chose to ignore it.
"Thou ......"
"Don't blame you, sir, Wu Yan's temperament is a little straight, don't mind!"
To be honest, Sun Xiu really can't do anything about Wu Yan, after all, Wu Yan is the number one general under him, of course, Lu Xing is not counted.
"It's okay, I said no, it's really because Sun Hao ordered all the scholars to follow the Eastern Crusade, which must include Zhang Bu's family, if you surrender him at this time, Sun Hao will inevitably be angry with his family, and then Zhang Bu will be used by you, because Sun Hao has become his mortal enemy, but if you kill Sun Hao, then ......"
Hearing this, Sun Xiu was shocked, and quickly dispelled this thought, thought about it for a while, and still asked unwillingly:
"According to Mr. Will, I can't take Chaisang without blood, you must know that Sun Hao has already conquered in person, without further ado!"
Seeing this, Zhan Yuan smiled confidently, glanced at Wu Yan, and was quite unconvinced when he saw this, smiled loudly, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, the general, Zhan Yuan's trip is to solve the general's doubts......"
Speaking of the land of Youji, Sima Jun finally took the two gates to the south of Fan Yang after three days of death, and the army approached Fan Yang, which made Gongsun He, who was hiding in Youzhou City, panic.
But at this time, the message of solidarity came from Zhonghui, but at the cost of obtaining a land in Daijun.
Without thinking about it, Gongsun He hurriedly wrote a letter to ask Zhong Hui to support, after all, he was already afraid, and now the people in the city were panicking, so he needed a strong foreign aid to suppress the scene at this time.
After Zhong Hui got the promise of Dai County, he pulled his 10,000 cavalry earned from Liu Yuan, and the Starry Night Soldiers approached the border of Dai County, and then rushed towards Fan Yang.
Liu Chen, who was staring into the distance in the Wangchuan Pavilion of Shudu, also received these news, and when he heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and paced to himself:
"Now that Goryeo has no thief's heart to enter the Han land, it is a good time for Lone to march into the army, so Lone is welcome!"
For the Huns, Liu Chen has long had a plan, after all, these people are still nominally subordinate to the Han Dynasty, why don't they take advantage of this?
"Come on, invite Huang Chen and Huang Chen to come to Lone, and Lone has important matters to discuss."
Liu Chen had already controlled the entire Shu Han in his hands, and withdrew the prefectures and counties of Liangzhou and Jingzhou, and only used the second level of counties and counties.
The veteran Jiang Wei is in Guzang, Zhang Yi is in Jiangling, Zongzhong is in Shuzhong, and Fu Yi is in Hanzhong, which can be said to be foolproof.
And Liu Chen summoned those young generals to his hands and prepared for his new offensive.
"See Your Majesty (Lord)!"
The people who came were Zhuge Shang, Deng Ai, Huang Chen, Huang Chong, Lu Xun, Jiang Jian, Su Yu and Zhang Hua.
It can be said that these are all recruited by Liu Chen himself, so their talents Liu Chen knows very well that he does not plan to let a few old generals suffer this time, especially Liao Hua, who is already gray-haired.
"Now that Sima Jun has come to Fanyang City, Zhong will appear in Daijun, so now is also the time for my big man to make a move."
Hearing Liu Chen's words, Deng Ai walked out first, hugged his fists and said:
"Lord Qi, Ai Zizhi knows that he has not been able to do anything when he comes to you, so it is difficult to sleep and eat now, and I implore the lord to let Ai take the lead!"
Deng Ai stood up first, in Liu Chen's expectation, after all, when the remnants of Wei were still alive, the two of them fought endlessly, and at this time, the enemies were naturally very excited to see each other.
"Hey, speaking of which, Su Yu doesn't have much credit, Brother Shizai was in the Wei State when he was in the Wei State, so why do you have to let the elder brother take the lead this time!"
Deng Ai stood up and seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, and even Su Yu, who had always been dull, came out to ask for battle.
Su Yu and Deng Ai are both from Wei State, so they have the affection to work together, and they are now friendly here, so this did not cause any unhappiness.
Liu Chen is also very satisfied with everyone's reaction, at least he has someone available.
He thought for a moment and said to Huang Chen:
"Now that hundreds of thousands of Hun cavalry Chen soldiers have merged with the northern part of the state, Lone hopes to make use of it, and Shu Heng thinks that the plan will be released?"
The reason why Liu Chen asked Huang Chen directly was because Huang Chen understood what Liu Chen meant, that is, there was no need to pay for the Xiongnu to contain northern Jin, and he could calmly deal with Yang Jun in Nanyang.
Hearing this, Huang Chen raised his eyebrows and said to Liu Chen:
"If it is according to the lord's wishes, he can spend money to let him send troops, which is impossible, so I still need to borrow your jade seal."
Liu Chen knew what Huang Chen meant, now Liu Chen's great Han emperor, and he is currently the most stable lord of Shu Han, as long as he uses the jade seal to make some guarantees, then Liu Bao will definitely make a move.
"Okay, this matter is handled by Shu Heng, Lone is naturally at ease, then now let's talk about Yang Jun in Nanyang, who wants to be the general?"
Liu Chen said that he was the leading general, and everyone remained silent with interest, because the general must be Liu Chen's close minister, although Deng Ai Suyu is not small, but I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.
Seeing this, Huang Chong found that it seemed to be only himself, shook his head and smiled, and arched his hand:
"Enlighten the lord, the last general is willing to go!"
Seeing Huang Chen come out, Liu Chen was very satisfied, nodded and smiled:
"Okay, with Zhongkang's shot, Lone is naturally worry-free, since Shizai and Xiu Yu have just asked for battle, then this time there is Deng Shizai as the deputy, Su Yu as Sima, Gao Yuan Jiang Jian led the three thousand blood blade army to attack with the army, Lu Xun also goes, take Nanyang, and Lone will celebrate in Jingbei for Er!"
Now Liu Chen has made up his mind that he will not move if he can, first, the queen is about to give birth, and second, he is now the emperor, and those ministers do not approve of Liu Chen's involvement in danger, so they have to let Huang Chen and them go out.
"Obey your orders!"
This time, Liu Chen did not give many soldiers and horses, a total of 30,000 troops, but these were all selected by Liu Chen, including 30,000 mercenaries selected from 100,000 troops, a total of 60,000, known as 80,000 to the outside world, and swore to the Northern Expedition.
Shu Han's wheel started, and many people immediately paid attention, after all, Liu Chen had been silent for a long time, which made many people see the abnormality.
You must know that Liu Chen has never tasted defeat since the incident, so many people are afraid of his edge, lest they be enemies.
And when Yang Jun got the news, he hurriedly woke up from his comfort zone, and hurriedly cried that this made people go to Luodu to ask for reinforcements.
And the day after Huang Chong set off with an army of 60,000, Liu Chen secretly summoned Liu Yin, and few people knew about it.
Subsequently, Liu Yin went to the East, and then turned the road and where he went, it is unknown.
Looking at the big picture, Zhuge Jing was also confused, and the resentment in his heart slowly dissipated.
In fact, he really wanted to lead the troops into battle like his brother, but Liu Chen seemed to deliberately not let him go, so he complained about Liu Chen for a long time.
And Liu Chen didn't care, looking at the staggered situation of enemies and friends on the map, he really said in his heart:
This pattern has lasted for too long, and I'm tired of it, so let's break it this year!
Liu Chen has not yet established an era name, and he continues to use the sixth year of Jingyao.
That's because Liu Chen hopes that the new year will have a new beginning, and his own era name is the best witness!
As soon as Liu Chen moved, Sima Yan was anxious, and hurriedly found Jia Chong and others to discuss, and finally decided that Sima Liang would send 40,000 troops from near Luodu to the south to defend against the enemy.
In fact, Yang Jun has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, he brought nearly 100,000 troops to the south, although he lost a few battles, there are still nearly 50,000 troops, according to the solidity of the city, it is no problem to resist 60,000, or even 80,000, but whether it is Sima Yan or Yang Jun, they are not only facing the rich and powerful Shu Han army, but also the undefeated Liu Chen army!
Therefore, 40,000 soldiers and horses were collected in many cities from Luodu to Chang'an, and they hurried south, this time, they wanted to break the myth of Liu Chen with an absolute advantage.
Hearing the news, Liu Chen smiled slightly, others take themselves too seriously, this is not an opportunity for themselves.
Seven days later, Huang Chong's army marched towards Dengcheng, intending to use it as a springboard to attack Xinye and Nanyang.
Dengcheng is fifty miles north of Fancheng, and can cross the river to the east to attack Xinye, and to the north can plunder Anzhong and other places, and enter the city of Nanyang.
Nanyang is the southern barrier of Luodu, and after Nanyang and then to the north is the Luoping Plain, there is no danger of the mountain, so Sima Yan is also very fond of this place.
Dengcheng is just a small city, the height of the city is only two and a half zhang, and the people in the city are only a few thousand households.
This is still the previous statistics, but after Yang Jun was defeated and retreated to the north, the position of Deng Cheng became particularly embarrassing, and it became a hollow area that neither army paid attention to.
Therefore, when Liu Chen promulgated the policy of benefiting the people, most of the people here went south to Weixin and Xiangyang counties.
There were only a few old and weak people in the city, so it was easy for Huang Chong to take it.
However, after Huang Chong entered it, he immediately ordered the city to be repaired, and at the same time sent a large army to defend it.
You must know that although Yang Jun is not worried, there are many powerful generals under him, and Huang Chong does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Everyone, now that the army has all arrived, and the grain and grass have also been hoarded in Fancheng, tell me, how to fight?"
