Besides, Wu Han, according to Liu Xiu's deployment, quickly led the army to attack the city.

Tancheng was not beaten at all, and Wu Han didn't make a few tinkering blows, and the city was broken.

This is August 29 A.D.

After the city of Tancheng was broken, Dong Xian and Pang Meng abandoned the city and fled to Qu County (now southwest of Lianyungang, Jiangsu). The brothers and sons plan to guard Qu County again to see if they can do it this time

Pick up the leaks and turn the tables.

Wu Han naturally did not give up, and immediately surrounded the county seat of Qu County.

(Wu Han entered the siege.) ）

Speaking of which, there is a phenomenon that needs to be drawn to everyone's attention, and behind this phenomenon may be a change in Liu Xiu's strategic and tactical thinking.

This phenomenon is: fighting in the imperial township, Liu Xiu and his apprentices are attentive and merciful everywhere.

Everyone also knows that in the past, Liu Xiu fought with his apprentices, and he never showed mercy to his opponents. They fought in Kunyang, packed up and bowed, and beheaded Wang Lang

, all played cruelly and neatly. And Wu Han, Geng Yi and others won the titles of "Slaughter City General" and "Slaughter Bo".

However, since marching into the imperial township and crusading against Liu Yong, both Liu Xiu himself and his apprentices have been much quieter in their fighting actions.

This is something that stands out.

One is that a siege is a siege, but it always gives the opponent a chance to run away. For example, when Wu Han played Guangle, he let Zhou Jian and Su Mao run away, and when Gai Yan surrounded Suiyang, he asked Liu Yong to take him

Zhou Jian and Su Mao ran away, and even when Liu Xiu personally led the luxury lineup to win Taocheng, he also let Pang Meng, Su Mao, and Jiao Yi walk. No, Wu Han defeated Tancheng,

let Dong Xian and Pang Meng run to Qu County.

The second is to kill the opponent less directly, but force the opponent to cut off his own head. For example, Liu Yong's head was cut off by his subordinate Qingwu, his son

Zi Liu Xuan's head was cut off by Sergeant Gao Hu.

The third is that the first choice of tactics is to consume the opponent to death, and it is really impossible to kill the opponent again. For example, Gaiyan attacked Suiyang twice but did not attack, waiting for the food to be eaten in the city

If you are light, you will easily win. Wang Ba dealt with Su Mao and Zhou Jian in Chuihui, he closed the camp gate, recuperated and ignored the enemy, Su and Zhou were almost there

was driven crazy, Zhou Jian's younger brother Zhou Yu couldn't stand it, so he simply surrendered the city. Even Liu Xiu himself, when he fought Dong Xian, who was worried about Changchang, was also consumed by the five schools

The army ran out of food and retreated, and then launched the siege.

This kind of strategic and tactical thinking is "a soldier who surrenders without a fight." ”

If you don't fight or fight less, you can destroy your opponent, and it's obviously the smartest and best way to fight.

Liu Xiu's common use of this trick in the imperial township is also obviously far-reaching.

No, Wu Han surrounded Dong Xian and Pang Meng in the city of Qu County, and did not immediately smash the city.

Qu County belongs to Donghai County, the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the season of grain harvest in autumn, and the grain and grass in the city are also sufficient.

Dong Xian and Pang Meng were guarding the city, but Wu Han couldn't take it for a while.

However, Wu Han resolutely implemented Liu Xiu's strategic and tactical thinking, and did not seem to be in a hurry to fight Lao Dong to the death.

Wu Han's army attacked several times, and then surrounded the city to death: If you don't fight, I will consume you!

Wu and Han did not attack, but the possibility of attacking the city existed at any time; Although Lao Dong and Pang Meng can resist for a while in the city, it is difficult to get out of the city for half a step.

Wu Han is confident: I'll steam your little ones as ducks with a simmer, and see if you can still run?!

Lao Dong and Pang Meng are very uncomfortable, just like a person who is tied up and can't move, and he may be flattened at any time, and he has to endure this kind of torment

A certain psychological quality is required.

This took about half a year, and in the spring of the following year, that is, in February 30 AD, the grain in the city of Quxian was almost finished.

In the spring, there was no green and yellow crops, even if there was grain outside the city, it was impossible for Wu Han to let it be transported into the city.

Lao Dong and Pang Meng panicked!

Gotta run! Gotta change places!

Looking at a crack, Lao Dong and Pang Meng didn't even dare to bring their families, and quietly and secretly broke out.

They led their men non-stop and captured Ganyu (now northern Ganyu, Jiangsu).

Ganyu belongs to Langya County, close to the East China Sea, Lao Dong and Pang Meng retreated here, intending to make a last stand.

I think these two brothers must be very angry at the moment: we just want to dominate one side, who doesn't have this mind when everyone comes out to mix? You Liu Xiu will not forgive,

Will you drive us into the sea?

I think, these two brothers are completely wrong, throughout the ages, the heart of the king is unfathomable, and there is no room for a second king.

I am now king, and whoever comes out will fight him!

This is the psychological bottom line of the king of the world.

No, Lao Dong and Pang Meng had not yet gained a stable foothold, and Liu Xiu's apprentice came to the door.

Liu Xiu's apprentice is named Chen Jun, and he is currently the Taishou of Langya County.

Chen Jun is a native of Nanyang, and was originally a subordinate of Liu Xiu's cousin Liu Jia. When the first dynasty opened, he obeyed Liu Jia's orders as a long history. Later, Liu Xiu went to Hebei

development, Liu Jia recommended him to Liu Xiu.

He is extremely loyal to Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu also trusts him very much.

Of course, he also has another basic characteristic of Liu Xiu's apprentices and fans: he is good at fighting.

It's just that Chen Jun, like Wu Han, is also a fierce man among fierce men, and his style of fighting is both sharp and tenacious. To put it bluntly, he just likes to bite his opponents

Don't let go, slash wildly until you win.

I don't know if you still remember, he followed Liu Xiu to fight the fifth school in Anci, in the fierce battle, he jumped off the horse, held a knife on foot, saw who cut whom, touched who killed whom,

ran wildly for more than 20 miles, and did not come back until the leader of the fifth school was cut off.

Liu Xiu admired him very much. He was also able to pay homage to the general, and is currently serving as the general of Langya Taishou and Qiangcross.

As a fierce man among fierce men, he has long been famous.

Originally, robbers were rampant in the Langya area. Anyway, the war is chaotic, and everyone is in groups, relying on fists, relying on open robbery and stealing the world.

When Chen Jun took office, as soon as he arrived at the border of Langya, the robbers broke up.

(Qi Di is known as a handsome person, enters the realm, and the thieves are all disbanded.) ）

Liu Xiu arranged for Chen Jun to take this position, originally to let him settle down and restrain Zhang Bu.

Now, when he saw Lao Dong and Pang Meng coming to the door, how could Chen Jun be polite.

He immediately led his troops to besiege Ganyu, and within a few pounds, the city was broken.

When he saw Lao Dong and Pang Meng breaking through, he chased after him and chased them all the way.

His movements were very violent, and he drove Lao Dong and Pang Meng into the swamp by the sea at once.

(Langya is too guarded by Chen Jun to attack it, and Xian and Meng go to Zezhong.) ）

At this time, after Wu Han took Qu County, he had already arrested all the wives and children of Lao Dong, Pang Meng and others.

(Will Wu Han go down to Qucheng and get his wife.) ）

When things came to this, Lao Dong completely collapsed!

Depressed!

After thinking about it, Lao Dong said to the soldiers around him with tears in his eyes:

"Now that we have even our family members been captured by Wu Han, everything is over. Everyone has been with me for so long, and I ended up like this, I'm really sorry for everyone, let

Everyone suffered! ”

(The wives are all gone.) Whew! I have been working hard for a long time. ）

Lao Dong was extremely depressed, but he was not dizzy, he was already convinced by Liu Xiu.

He bitterly thought that since the matter had come to this point, it seemed that the only way to survive was to surrender.

Interestingly, Pang Meng also thinks so.

Although the ancients said that good horses don't eat back grass, Lao Pang feels that since the matter has come to this point, it seems that as long as he can get away with it, he would rather not do it well

Horse.

So, Lao Dong and Lao Pang discussed: That's it, hurry up and surrender to Liu Xiu!

So, his brothers and sons took dozens of people and horses, taking advantage of the darkness and taking a small road, trying to escape and surrender.

However, his brother's life was too hard.

Maybe they called themselves generals and princes for too long, or they fought Liu Xiu for too long, or they were grinding on stage as crappy actors

It's been too long and there are too many people who have annoyed them, and these two guys have no chance.

Han Zhan, the lieutenant under Wu Han, discovered the whereabouts of Lao Dong and Lao Pang, and immediately rushed to chase and kill.

Somehow, Lao Dong and Lao Pang failed to make their intention to surrender clear, and hurriedly ran away desperately.

Han Zhan was unwilling to let go and chased after him.

In Fanghe (now Yutaixi, Shandong), Han Zhan finally caught up and immediately beheaded Lao Dong.

Lao Pang did not run away, and was beheaded by a local man named Qianling.

The heads of both brothers were quickly sent to Luoyang.

Liu Xiu was very happy to hear the news, and immediately gave Han and Qian the marquis.

(It is to ride dozens of nights, wanting to surrender from the middle road, and Han Zhan, the captain of Wu Han, chased and beheaded Fang He, and Fang and Qianling also beheaded Luoyang.) Feng Han Zhan

For the liehous, the marquis of Qianling Pass. ）
