Chapter 134: Aftermath
As soon as Zhao Xi died, the allied forces of the family that had been attacked from both sides completely collapsed, and countless people rushed to flee and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy, and the situation completely turned into a one-sided massacre.
A quarter of an hour later, the battle finally ended with Jinfan's victory.
In this battle, Jinfan killed more than 4,000 enemies, captured nearly 10,000 enemies, and his own losses were less than 1,000.
When Jinfan escorted tens of thousands of captives back with victory, the entire Anhui city was boiling, because everyone knew what Jinfan's victory would mean...... These families are finished!
In Anhui City, Hao Zhao and Liu Ye led 3,000 soldiers to continue to fight, Zhu Chun of Liyang and Li Tao of Hefei also led 5,000 and 3,000 soldiers to conscript respectively, and the Jinfan army marched in three ways, and the land of Huainan once again set off a tragic bloody storm.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, August 19, three o'clock in the afternoon.
The twelve families involved in this incident were escorted by Jinfan to the bank of the Wanshui River for public execution, and nearly 2,000 heads fell to the ground at the same time, and the blood almost stained the entire Wanshui red.
Wang Chong's murderous methods not only shocked the entire Huainan, but also shocked the entire Han Dynasty, and also made him completely confirm the name of 'thug'.
In the Chaisang Mansion, Sun Ce and his subordinate Wu Jun all sat in their positions with solemn expressions, and the scene was very depressing.
Half a month ago, Sun Ce, who repelled Chen Deng, sent 20,000 troops to attack Yuzhang, Hua Xin knew that he was invincible, so he took the initiative to open the city and surrender under the persuasion of Yu Tuo, and surrendered to Jiangdong.
Five days ago, Zhou Yu led an army of 10,000 to defeat Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in Kouai County, and finally included the entire Yuzhang County in the Jiangdong territory.
Now, just as Sun Ce was in Chaisang, planning to send troops to Jiangxia and attack Huangzu, the news that Wang Chong had beheaded twelve Huainan families came to Chaisang, which made Jiangdong's originally good mood dissipate without a trace in an instant.
At first glance, this seems to have little to do with their Koto, but in fact it is definitely not.
Wang Chong's brutal behavior made him criticized by the scholars, and he has become the common enemy of almost all the families, but this has no impact on Wang Chong at all for the time being, because with his iron-blooded skills and a series of decrees for the benefit of the people, the remaining Huainan families have been restrained and fearful, and at the same time, they have won the hearts of the people, which has also made the entire Huainan region an iron plate by him, and there is no longer any force that can influence Wang Chong's decision-making in Huainan.
Twelve Huainan families were destroyed, and Wang Chong sacrificed for a long time, but won the day.
Wang Chong resolutely cleared most of the hidden dangers in Huainan, and he could finally rest assured that he could act boldly after losing his constraints, coupled with the confiscation of the wealth of these families, Wang Chong has become one of the richest princes in the world in one fell swoop, and the seized grain and grass alone have nearly two million stones, and the rest of the gold, silver, money, and equipment and baggage are even more impossible to count, it is obvious that with such a rich family foundation, at least in the next two or three years, Jinfan no longer needs to worry about the shortage of money and food.
To be rich is to be capricious, during this time, Jinfan's movements are very large, and the dilapidated Huainan is about to enter a high-speed development, and it may soon take on a new look, in this case, who is most threatened? The answer is obvious, and this can be roughly derived from Jinfan's large-scale construction of ships in the port of Anhuikou.
On Wang Chong, Sun Ce felt unprecedented pressure.
Seriously, Sun Ce admired Wang Chong very much, because Wang Chong did what he always wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
In this era dominated by the big families, Wang Chong's 'deviant' behavior is destined to make him bear countless infamy and bear countless pressures, but he still does it without hesitation.
Since he conquered Jiangdong, Sun Ce has always looked down on the family, but in the face of countless pressures from around him, he finally chose to forbear, but now, Wang Chong has set a good example for him, which makes his heart, which was originally unwilling to give in, ready to move again.
Cracking down on the family is very risky, but the benefits are also not small, first, you can make yourself lose your constraints, and second, you can also harvest a lot of goods, and solve the current situation of the army's restraints, as long as you immediately promulgate a series of policies that benefit the people like Wang Chong afterwards to stabilize the people's minds, you should ...... It won't make much of a difference, right?
Thinking of this, Sun Ce raised his head and secretly handed Zhou Yu an inquiring look full of anticipation.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are the best of the best, the two have known each other since childhood, they are each other's confidants, no one knows Sun Ce better than him, just like now, Sun Ce only has one look, and Zhou Yu understands what he means.
He shook his head slightly at Sun Ce, in fact, Zhou Yu knew that after Sun Ce heard about this, he would have the urge to emulate Jinfan, but compared with the Huainan family, the power of the Jiangdong family is undoubtedly larger and more intertwined.
After getting Zhou Yu's answer, Sun Ce frowned, and said to everyone a little impatiently: "Okay, let's go down and prepare, in two days, we will send troops to conquer Huang Zu, this time, we have to set foot in Jiangxia no matter what, and take Huang Zu's head to pay tribute to my father's spirit in the sky, did you hear that!?" ”
Hearing this, everyone responded loudly with solemn expressions: "No! ”
Then, everyone got up to say goodbye, but Zhou Yu was still sitting motionless.
Soon, only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were left in the lobby.
The two looked at each other and were silent...... After a long time, Sun Ce took a sullen sip of wine and sighed faintly: "Gongjin, is this really not advisable?" ”
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded and admonished, "Bo Fu, don't be blinded by your unwillingness, in fact, why this matter is not advisable, you should know very well in your heart!" ”
"You're right." Sun Ce smiled bitterly, "It's just that every time I think of Wang Shaolin, I can't calm down in my heart......"
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Bo Fu, you think too highly of Wang Chong, don't look at him in the limelight now, but in fact, he has already forced himself into a desperate situation, he wants to capture Jiangdong?" Even if we agree, those Jiangdong families who want to protect their own interests will not agree, and at that time, they will inevitably spontaneously form an army to fight against Jinfan, so does Bo Fu still think that Wang Chong will threaten our Jiangdong? ”
Hearing this, Sun Ce's troubles disappeared, and he smiled and said: "Gong Jin's words made me suddenly, and now, I should attack Jiangxia as soon as possible, and then lead the army back to fight with that king Chong!" ”
Zhou Yu's eyes were full of light: "That's right!" ”
