Hao Ren has occupied Wuhu, the bridgehead of crossing the river, along the south coast of the Yangtze River, there is a heavy defense of Meng Yuan, what the Qingfeng army urgently needs now is to open up the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, intersperse the forces of crossing the river to the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, improve the strategic depth of their own soldiers and horses crossing the river, Xuanzhou, become the best choice for Hao Ren to advance.

Xuanzhou, located on the east bank of the Qingge River, borders Hangzhou and Huzhou in the east, Huangshan Mountain in the south, Chizhou and Wuhu in the west and northwest, and Taipingfu (Ma'anshan), Jiqing (Nanjing), Changzhou and Wuxi in the north and northeast.

The occupation of Xuanzhou by the Qingfeng army can not only improve the strategic depth of the troops crossing the river, but also attack Wuhu, Changzhou, Wuxi and other famous cities controlled by the Mengyuan Yuan, and retreat, and can defend Wuhu, the mouth of the river, and ensure that the military supplies of Luzhou are transported to the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, Zhu Chongba occupies Huizhou, with Huangshan as the hinterland, if Zhu Chongba's eastward route is not curbed, I am afraid that Zhu Chongba will have a great job in the south of the Yangtze River, and compete with the Qingfeng army for the territory of Jiangdong, and Chizhou and Raozhou are already the territory of Zhao Pusheng of the Tianwan regime, and the Qingfeng army occupies Xuanzhou, which can block the two routes of soldiers and horses in the west of the Qingge River, and encircle the Jiangdong region under its own sphere of influence.

Xuanzhou is a famous cultural city in China, with handsome mountains and rivers and outstanding people. Xie Lingyun and Xie Hao once served as the Taishou here, leaving a lot of humanistic monuments in Xuanzhou, the poet Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty once visited Xuanzhou seven times, a poem "Xuanzhou Xie Huan Lou Farewell School Shu Yun", completely left the reputation of Xuanzhou Cultural City, and there are more scenic spots in Jingting Mountain in the territory, so that Li Taibai left a poem of "never get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain"!

Hao Ren's crossing of the river was sudden, and he was anxious to open up the situation of crossing the river, and it was expected that Xuanzhou was in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, behind Wuhu, and Xuanzhou would inevitably have no time to prepare and guard against emptiness.

Therefore, Hao Ren did not wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses to come, leaving Liao Yongan and Jiao Lu to guard Wuhu, and then Chang Yuchun, Li Zongke and others to cross the river, and took Deng Yu and his cavalry 2,000, and the governor's palace guards of 2,000 people, non-stop, and went straight to Xuanzhou City!

Hao Ren used a bold strategy of avoiding reality and making up for fiction!

There are only 4,000 soldiers and horses, although dozens of horse cannons are camelped, Hao Ren still feels that the troops are insufficient, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer Xuanzhou Jiancheng for a while, so he specially instructed Liao Yongan to inform Chang Yuchun to send troops and horses to the Qingge River and come to support!

Qingfeng army of 4,000 soldiers and horses, non-stop running all night, three poles on the day, four thousand soldiers and horses with early morning dew, appeared outside Xuanzhou City, but see the mountains and rivers are beautiful to cover the city, the city gate is closed, there are no soldiers and horses out of the city to resist, above the city, there is no flag, there are no soldiers and horses patrolling the city, the whole city, quiet and peaceful!

Hao Ren has experienced countless bloody battles and attacked many cities, but he has never seen such a quiet city, and the entire city looks like it is not defended at all!

At this time, if someone is playing the piano on the head of the city, it seems to be an empty city plan designed by Zhuge Kongming!

"Lord, isn't there a deception in it?" Liu Bowen shook the feather fan and reminded kindly!

There is no need for Liu Bowen to remind him, Hao Ren also feels wrong, the news of his soldiers and horses conquering Wuhu cannot reach Xuanzhou so quickly, and it is rushing overnight, according to common sense, Xuanzhou has no time to guard against Hao Ren's surprise attack, and ambushes the men and horses in advance!

Hao Ren's heart was full of suspicion, picked up the monoculars, and dared to look into the city, the entire city, there was not a single banner of Meng Yuan, nor could he see a patrolling soldier, he looked carefully for a long time, and did not see any clues.

"The lord should hesitate, I will wait for a surprise attack from afar, the enemy will definitely be defenseless, drive the horse cannon, hit a pass, even if there is an ambush, he will also be beaten!" Deng Yu admonished.

"Horse artillery ready!!"

Hao Ren came from afar, and now he has not seen the enemy, although it is abnormal, but he can't just return in vain, Hao Ren coldly gave an order!

"The horse cannon has been loaded, aim at the city gate, whether to fire the cannon, please instruct the lord!" Marshal's Mansion Su Wei Qianhu Futong hugged his fists and asked for his life!

Hao Ren raised his right hand, as soon as he put his hand down, the artillery roared, and the city gate could be shattered in an instant, at this moment, the city gate creaked open, and seven or eight old men, under the protection of more than a dozen officials, came in small steps.

The first Mengyuan official, dressed in a green grandson robe, wearing a hat, holding a wooden box in both hands, shouted as he ran: "We have surrendered, don't fire the little general!" ”

However, a few old and weak people were not in danger at all, Hao Ren hurriedly said: "Don't open fire, let them come over first!" ”

In a moment, several old men and civil officials ran to Hao Renma in an uproar.

The civil official headed by him, without waiting for Hao Ren to speak, pounced, knelt on his knees, presented the Nanmu box with both hands, and panted: "Xia Guan remembers that he wrote to the little general that he wanted Xia Guan to greet him at the south gate, but I never thought that the little general came from the north gate. The civil official muttered in a low voice, as if he blamed himself and seemed to excuse himself, and then said loudly: "Lu Shao, the prefect of Xuanzhou in Mengyuan, now presents the official seal and household registration list of the prefect, and specially asks the general to surrender, please accept it!" ”

What's going on? No need to fight?

When did I agree with you to surrender?

Little general?

Where's the little general?

Is there a mistake!

Hao Ren was full of suspicions, pulled up the Xuanzhou prefect on the ground, and asked, "Who are you surrendering to?" ”

Lu Shao, the prefect of Xuanzhou, does not doubt that he has him, and he also wears a red scarf on his head, can this be wrong? It's just that the gate of the city that was surrendered into the city was mistaken.

Lu Shao was afraid that the people would not accept the surrender, at this time Xuanzhou was an empty city, and the already weak defenders in the city, because they were afraid of the Red Turban Army in Huizhou, had withdrawn eastward, if the Red Turban Army insisted on taking the opportunity to attack the city and plunder, it would be troublesome!

Lu Shao hurriedly said: "I surrendered to His Majesty Longfeng's Red Turban Army, it is you, the general!" ”

Hao Ren had already understood at this time that before the Qingfeng army crossed the river, there was only one armed force of the Longfeng regime in Jiangnan, and it had gained a firm foothold in Huizhou, that is, Pingzhang, the Jiangnan Province of the Longfeng regime - Zhu Chongba, Lu Shao didn't know the news of the Qingfeng army's crossing the river, and regarded Hao Ren's army as Zhu Chongba's army!

Lu Shao naturally didn't know Zhu Chongba's specific official position, only knew that Zhu Chongba was the armed force of the Longfeng regime, and a little general named Zhu Wenzheng had already issued a document that if he refused to surrender, he would have to wash Xuanzhou in blood, so Hao Ren came from the north gate, Lu Shao was very afraid, afraid that someone would use this as an excuse to wash the city in blood!

"Anyway, Lao Tzu is also fucking from the Dragon and Phoenix regime, and no one understands that Zhu Chongba's cheapness is not taken advantage of, and Lao Tzu is here to collect Jiangdong!" ’

Hao Ren accepted Lu Shao's official seal and household register, and comforted: "It's right for me to surrender, let's go back to the government to discuss!" "Don't say anything to Lu Shao anymore, take the cavalry, and rush directly into the prefect's mansion in Xuanzhou! (To be continued.) )
