Chapter Seventy-Four: Ambition

"Old General Huang, a certain is the governor of Jingnan Huo Yi, old general, surrender! You have proven your faithfulness! Don't even bother innocent soldiers to die in vain! Huo Yi stood at the head of the city, looked at the old figure under the siege, and said loudly.

As soon as Huo Yi's words came out, the surrounding Jingnan soldiers immediately shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”

The Jiangdong sergeant had been fighting all night, and at this time, he was already extremely tired, and he was besieged by a large army, and he was already tired, hungry, and terrified.

Seeing this situation, Pan Zhang slowly leaned towards Huang Gai and said in a low voice: "Old general, if you don't surrender, you will be as resolute as Gan Xingba and be a prisoner, so you won't be ashamed!" ”

Huang Gai looked at Pan Zhang beside him coldly, but sneered: "Ridiculous! The Lord has a great favor to you! Why did you come to such a state of honor, but you did not keep the discipline and wanted to surrender to the enemy? ”

Pan Zhang's face turned red, and he didn't know how to react.

Huang Gai glanced at the sergeants beside him, these sergeants were all the subordinate soldiers brought out by himself, and they were trained when he was a lieutenant in Danyang, the source of the world's male soldier Danyang Bing. At this moment, seeing that most of these soldiers were injured, and they were already incapable of fighting, Huo Yi was very right, why did he bother to trap these people to death?

Thinking of this, Huang Gai reluctantly straightened up, looked back at Huo Yi at the head of the city, but said loudly: "Veteran Huang Gai, I have heard the name of General Huo for a long time, and today I finally have to see the true face!" ”

Huo Yi saw that things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, and hurriedly said: "The old general is serious, and the old general's integrity is also respected by Yi!" ”

"Hahaha, good! Gai is famous for his integrity. How dare you come to the nonsense? The general's kindness, a certain heart! A subordinate soldier hopes that the general will be spared! After Huang Gai said this, he suddenly turned to face east and knelt on the ground: "Lord! Shame on the lord! With that, he suddenly drew his sword and fell sideways with his neck.

Huo Yi watched this old and strong general fall under the city, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. For those of them who are driven by others. Life and death are not in your own hands, right? Perhaps, one day he will be the yellow cover of this day, defeated and surrounded, and when the time comes, who will he die for?

For Huo Yi, the "lord" really can't talk about loyalty to him, he has never been loyal to him since the beginning, but his father is under his command. And he can only be under his command, but Huo Yi's status has reached now, and he has tens of thousands of troops under his command. There is a better chance to master the whole territory of Jingzhou. It's already different from the small Yamen general of the past.

It seems that something called ambition began to slowly grow in his heart.

As soon as Huang Gai died, the Jiangdong soldiers turned all their eyes to Pan Zhang, for them, it was natural for them to die in battle for Huang Gai, but Huang Gai died. Where do they go from here?

Pan Zhang had already intended to surrender, but as soon as Huang Gai died at this time, Pan Zhang threw down the weapon in his hand and slowly knelt on the ground: "I wish to surrender!" ”

When all the Jiangdong soldiers saw that Pan Zhang had surrendered, they all threw down their swords. Also kneeling on the ground.

But there were hundreds of people, just stunned to look at Huang Gai's body as he fell to the ground. The leading general is extremely strong: "Old General Huang walks slowly!" Xu Kang is here! The voice did not fall, but he crossed his neck with a knife, and he was killed by the neck.

The hundreds of soldiers also followed the same example and killed themselves one after another.

Huo Yi was even more shocked, he never thought that Huang Gai's soldiers could reach such a point, these 100 sergeants were compared to Tian Heng's 500 guests.

At this moment, Pan Zhang's face was full of shame, and the more than 100 corpses lying around him were so ironic compared to the appearance of him kneeling on the ground and not even daring to raise his head.

Huo Yi slowly came down from the city, and the troops immediately entered the field and escorted a group of Jiangdong sergeants, but Pan Zhang was tied up by several sergeants and escorted down.

Huo Yi slowly walked to Huang Gai's side, looking at this veteran with complicated eyes. Lang said: "Thick burial Huang Gongfu!" More than 100 warriors were also buried together! Ez's feat should be admired by all ages! Write a monument for it! ”

"Whoa!" The back head Ye Zhi replied slowly.

Huo Yi stood in place, for a long time, Huo Yi said again: "Go to the south bank, let people quickly report to Fei Taishou and Liu Zigui, etc., and start to accept the soldiers, in addition, convene the generals to discuss the southern city of Xiangnan." ”

"Whoa!" Guan Xingying said.

Huo Yi returned to the big tent that had been temporarily erected outside the city of Xiangnan.

The war of men and horses from all walks of life was basically calmed down. Wang Chong also returned from the north and returned Jiang Qin's body.

Not long after, the big tent outside the city of Xiangnan gathered the returning generals, Huo Yi sat on the main seat, and summarized the results of the armies, Huo Yi was startled, it turned out that the results were so big.

Since Huo Yi returned to Jingnan, he destroyed 8,000 people in the vanguard of the Jiangdong Army, killed He Qi and captured Gan Ning; After the night attack, the Jiangdong Army Naval Division broke through with more than 8,000 people under the command of Kailing, and there were nearly 20,000 people left, killing more than 5,000, fleeing 3,400,000 and capturing more than 10,000 people; Near the left of Xiangnan City, defeated Pan Zhang's department, captured 2,000 people, destroyed Huang Gai's department, captured more than 1,000 people, Huang Gai was killed in battle, and Pan Zhang was captured; Of the 6,000 elite Jiangdong troops in the city, nearly half were captured, more than 2,000 were killed and wounded, and the rest fled and killed the enemy general Jiang Qin.

This battle basically wiped out the main force of the Jiangdong Army to attack the two counties in Jingnan, which was the backbone of the Jiangdong Army, and many of them were captured or killed. Even if the previous battle was too fierce, Huo Yi had never heard of such a number of generals who would die in battle.

Huo Yi said loudly: "Now that most of the enemy's elite has been wiped out by me, what I want to ask you is, what do you think our army is stationed in Changsha?" ”

"General! The humble general thought that at this time, our army's momentum was like a rainbow, and he should take advantage of the victory to enter Changsha and destroy the remnants of the enemy in Changsha! Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! It was Zhao Tong, who had always been steady, who spoke.

"No! Our army has already occupied the righteousness of defeating the Jiangdong Army, the Jiangdong Army treacherously attacked our army, and the defeat of our army is the will of heaven. Liu Xunlang said.

"The last general thinks that it is not possible, our army has just experienced a fierce battle, the soldiers are tired, if our army rushes into Changsha, the army will inevitably be scattered, and there are too many prisoners, it is difficult to suppress! If Jiangdong leans the power of the southeast to seize Changsha, what will be good? Wang Ping is also the way.

"But I thought that since the Jiangdong Army betrayed the alliance and attacked me, our army did not have to regard it as an ally, and it could occupy Changsha! And General Gao is leading the Shu army back, and then our army will have enough men and horses to suppress the prisoners, and we can also hold Changsha! Liu Min said slowly.

Huo Yi nodded: "I also think the same, the reason why our army is controlled everywhere is because the usual actions are too soft, so that the Jiangdong people can gain an inch!" The Jiangdong people betrayed the alliance first, so they can't blame our army for entering Changsha! Huo Yi said loudly.

Huo Yi slowly stood up and walked to the Jingzhou situation map in the tent, pointed to Changsha and said: "I not only want to take Changsha, if possible, I will also capture Guiyang and Jiangxia, and occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou on the south bank of the river in one fell swoop, so that our army's area in Jingzhou will be connected!" And Jiangxia is a large county of Jingzhou, with a large population and rich production, the Jiangdong army is going south, and the Lukou camp at this moment is bound to be empty, which is the best opportunity for our army to seize the entire territory of Jingzhou in one fell swoop. At this moment, Lu Xun was restrained by Deng Shizai in Guiyang, and he had no time to look north. ”

Huo Yi drew a circle on the map: "In this way, I dare to say that the lord annexes Jingyi, and then Xu Tuliangzhou and Jingzhou are in the area on the north bank of the river, which can be expected to revive the great cause of the Han Dynasty!" ”

The generals watched Huo Yi's actions in the tent in amazement, and no one thought that this young general's appetite was so big that he wanted to swallow the entire territory of Nanjingzhou. It also aimed at Jiangxia County, which has always been heavily garrisoned in Jiangdong.

This is out of everyone's consciousness.

"General! If our army swallows Changsha, Jiangdong may endure it, if our army goes further and swallows Jiangxia, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the male lord of Jiangdong, if he counterattacks, I am afraid that our army will not be able to resist it! Liu Xun said slowly.

Huo Yi smiled confidently: "If the Jiangdong people dare to come again, they will send him a big defeat!" A certain partiality doesn't believe it, how many times can he survive the defeat of the Battle of Jingnan? How many other generals do he have who can withstand my slashing? If he sits honestly in Jiangdong, if not, I will let him Jiangdong never have peace! ”
