Chapter 189: Dominate Jiangdong
With the surrender of Sun Fu, the defender of Luo County, Han Lie's army occupied this important gateway to Changsha County in the south without a single soldier.
At dawn, Han Lie accepted the surrender of Sun Fu and others in the big tent of the Chinese army outside the city, and Sun Ben was also coerced, when he saw Han Lie in person, Sun Ben's expression was still indignant and said: "I have to surrender, I am really forced, I want to kill or chop, listen to the respect." ”
"Brother Boyang, have you forgotten the love of the tiger prison in the past? Today you and I are in one account, and we are divided among the other. Han Lie watched Sun Ben walk over, stretched out his hand and pulled the other party's arm and said with a smile: "When there is chaos today, it is the time to make meritorious contributions and become famous. ”
"The general dares to use me as a general?" In the face of Han Lie's enthusiasm, Sun Ben frowned slightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"If Brother Boyang is willing to stay, how can Lie not sweep the couch and greet him?" Han Lie firmly took his arm and faced the generals under the tent and said: "Boyang has meritorious service in dedicating the city, and the general is appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang, and Sun Fu is appointed as the general of Bei, serving as the Taishou of Xicheng. ”
"The last general commands." When Sun Fu heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and answered.
Sun Ben was stunned for a moment, looking at Han Lie in disbelief, he solemnly flicked his long skirt, knelt down with his fists and bowed: "The general's kindness is not repaid, but he swears to die." ”
Accommodating the Sun Ben and Sun Fu brothers was undoubtedly a major victory for Han Lie, and it was obviously a great blow to Sun Ce's Sun family. When this inappropriate news reached Changsha, Sun Ce, who had already been in a rage because of the recent unfavorable war, scolded on the spot: "Huangkou son, how can this be reasonable, I will definitely capture and kill him." ”
Han Lie did not fight in Luo County, the day after taking Luo County, he did his best to kill Changsha by land and water, and now it can be said that the best time to attack Changsha is also a great opportunity to eliminate Sun Ce's henchman, and if he misses it, he may never have such an opportunity again.
50,000 horses and horses went down by boat, and arrived at the city of Changsha in an instant, and the time of appearance was three days earlier than Sun Ce.
However, at this time, Han Lie was not in a hurry to attack the city, not that he was not in a hurry, but although the terrain of Changsha City in front of him was not dangerous, the city walls were towering, and Sun Ce still had 15,000 men and horses in his hands to defend the city, so it was obviously not a wise choice to storm it.
Of course, the 50,000 horses in Jiangdong came to the city in such a hurry, naturally they didn't come to see the excitement, since they couldn't attack, they could only outwit it, and now it was early spring, and it was also the rainy season was approaching, Changsha City, which was at the confluence of the three rivers, in the eyes of Han Lie, had undoubtedly become a lonely boat in the angry sea, and it would drown in the waves at any time.
The idea of flooding Changsha County was not Han Lie's idea, but Lu Su's strategy, and this idea, Lu Su at the beginning of the southern expedition to Jingzhou, according to the spies to explore the counties of Jingzhou when the deployment was made, and when the rainy season came, water attack is undoubtedly the most advantageous siege method.
In response to the method of water attack, Han Lie led Guo Jia, Kuai Yue walked around the outside of Changsha City, and then issued a military order to build a dam and store water. The action of 30,000 troops and 20,000 people building embankments outside the city is undoubtedly huge, and naturally Sun Ce can't hide it.
Han Lie didn't hide it from the other party at all, in Han Lie's words, he just wanted Sun Ce to watch and force Sun Ce to either wait for death in the city, or go out of the city to fight to the death, and these two tactics undoubtedly took advantage of the right time, place and people.
In the council hall of the county guard's mansion, Sun Ce scolded angrily: "Sun Ben and Sun Fu, two vertical sons, dare to surrender and betray, it is really hateful, I will kill these two thieves." ”
"Lord, the top priority is to preserve our strength first, trapped in Changsha, like a tiger in a cage, only by going out, we have a chance to get a glimmer of life." Now that the second son has reached an alliance with the Jiaozhou Shikun family, Gongjin is tight in Lingling, and he and the second son both hope that we will retreat to Guiyang, join forces, and then make plans. Zhang Hong saw that Sun Ce was full of anger and had an anxious temperament, and knew that if he couldn't persuade Sun Ce to leave at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"It's just death, if I run away without a fight, won't I make the world laugh at my grandson?" Sun Ce glared at Zhang Hong angrily and categorically refused.
"The courage of the lord is commendable, but I have thought that the old lady and the families of the soldiers, if we fight to the death here, we will inevitably let everyone be buried together, can the lord really feel at ease?" Zhang Hong has a strong personality and fights rationally.
"Ugh." Sun Ce sighed and said, "Although Mr. is reasonable, he has made up his mind and will never change it. But you immediately take a team of men and horses to escort the families of the soldiers to Guiyang to make peace with my brother, and tell him that if I die in battle, please do not have to avenge me, but do not forget my grandson's legacy of meritorious service. ”
"Lord ......"
"Go ahead." Sun Ce waved his hand with a firm expression: "The generals will listen to the order, follow me out of the station before dawn, and cover Lord Zhang out of the city." ”
At dawn, outside the city of Changsha.
50,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce personally led 10,000 horses to fight under the city.
In this battle, Han Lie personally beat the drum to help the war, 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses, the momentum is like a rainbow, the generals take the lead, the battle lasts from dawn to evening, although Sun Ce's department is brave, Sun Ce himself is the fierce general of the three armies, but in the face of Jiangdong's fierce general Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhu Huan and others, he finally fell because of exhaustion, but Sun Ce deserves the ambition of the overlord.
Facing the mighty Xiangshui, after Sun Ce fell off the horse, he was covered in blood, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "Today is just death, I will never be a subordinate!" With that, Sun Ce immediately swung his sword and killed himself, and the remaining 10,000 horses were all killed, and the bright red blood almost stained Xiangshui.
This was undoubtedly a tragic battle, Han Lie's 50,000 Jiangdong men and horses, and the battle death ratio was as high as 1 to 1, that is to say, while Sun Ce was completely annihilated, Han Lie's troops paid the price of 10,000 deaths.
"Bo Fu is a respectable opponent, it's a pity." Han Lie looked at Sun Ce's corpse brought by the sergeant, sighed lightly, and said, "According to Wu Hou's ceremony, Bo Fu will be buried in Yuelu Mountain outside Changsha City, so that he can be sacrificed by incense for generations." ”
Sun Ce was killed in battle, Changsha County completely fell into the hands of Han Lie, and the direction of Lingling, due to Zhou Yu's retreat, was also taken by Zhao Yun's troops.
The remaining Guiyang County, without waiting for Han Lie's crusade, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, who occupied the city, led 20,000 elite soldiers of the Sun clan, but they took the initiative to go to Jiaozhou.
Guiyang County Shou Zhao Fan was originally a wall grass, and as soon as Sun Quan and Zhou Yu left, he immediately presented a letter of surrender to Han Lie.
Recovering the four counties of Jingnan, Han Lie's strength has undoubtedly increased greatly, and at this time he already has the land of Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, and truly has the potential to win the world.
Before returning to Jianye, Han Lie officially appointed Lu Su as the assassin of Jingzhou, responsible for government affairs and financial power, and Xu Huang as the governor of Jingzhou, in charge of soldiers and horses.
A month after Han Lie returned to Jianye, he officially received an edict from the Han Emperor Liu Xie, canonizing him as Jianye Hou, a general, leading Yangzhou pastor, and giving Jiuxi.
Bestowed Jiuxi, made marquis and worshiped generals, plus Han Lie ruled the four states, with 100 good generals and 300,000 soldiers and horses, such a strong strength, even if he did not show anti-will, but the princes of the world had to admit that Han Lie had formed a huge threat to them.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, the third year of Han Lie's recuperation, Yuan Shao in the north was defeated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao officially unified the north, and Liu Bei was defeated and led his troops from Bingzhou to Liangzhou, and formed an alliance with Ma Teng and his son.
With the defeat of Yuan Shao, the situation in the world also began to become unpredictable, and in Jianye, the issue of the Northern Expedition was also raised by Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Lu Su, as well as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Zhou Tai and other generals.
Faced with the proposal of the civil and military generals for the Northern Expedition, Han Lie, who had been preparing for a long time, did not think about it for long, and made a military order to personally take command of the expedition.
Jianye Houfu, Cai Wenji, Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Zhen Mi and other women, when they learned the news that Han Lie was about to go on the expedition, although they did not show any strangeness on their faces, the reluctance and worry in their eyes were always difficult to dissipate.
In the face of the deep affection of the beauties, Han Lie could only work hard day and night, took pity on the women, and appeased them one by one, and then under the expectations of the women and the expectations of the Jiangdong fathers, he led the 300,000 troops of Jiangdong to embark on the Northern Expedition.
(End of book!) )
PS: After half a year, I hurriedly drew an end, and I can only say sorry to everyone. Although the past six months have not been long, the frog has experienced the confusion of being laid off and then going to work, and he is really confused for a while.
Although it has eased up a bit now, time is obviously irretrievable, and what is lost will be lost forever, so I can only say sorry again, and draw an end to this work, which can be regarded as an imperfect ending.
