Chapter 110 Conquering Jingyang, Qin Jie Returning to Shun, Liu Biao Retreating South
On the second day of November, the north wind is howling, and the weather is freezing!
No one would have thought that King Yan would send troops at this time.
Because the princes had no cotton clothes, the soldiers could not withstand the winter temperatures, and after November, all the soldiers, including the common people, rarely went out.
The reason why Liu Kun is not afraid of sending troops in winter is because the equipment of the soldiers is broken; Warm**, cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton hats, cotton shoes, cotton gloves, and a cotton coat.
The climate of this time and space is much lower than that of later generations, even if it is Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the small rivers are all frozen, and the marching army at this temperature can directly walk through the ice when it encounters a small river and a small ditch, for the watery south, it is much easier to march at this time than when the weather is warm!
Most of Liu Kun's elite soldiers are from the north, even if there are some yellow turban soldiers in the south, after several years of living in Youzhou, they have gradually adapted to the climate in the north.
After coming to Luoyang, there are a lot of water and soil adaptation phenomenon, winter temperature bottom, water and soil adaptation phenomenon is relatively less, at this time they will be put in Jiangbei to adapt to a year, tomorrow, the year after tomorrow will go to Jiangnan to fight.
Liu Kun ordered Zhao Yun to be the main general, and Xi Zhicai to be the military advisor, leading 30,000 troops under his command, as well as 30,000 soldiers from the five schools of Beiying, to invade Jingzhou in the south!
Jingzhou has six counties: Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, and Changsha!
Liu Kun's strategic goals are; Occupy Nanyang and Nanjun in the north of the Yangtze River, as well as Xiangyang City, the seat of Jingzhou, and drive Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to the south of the Yangtze River.
At the same time, Zhang Fei was ordered to be the main general, Guo Jia was the military division, and led 10,000 corporals under his command, 20,000 soldiers in Danyang in Xuzhou, and Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Yuan Shu each led the troops under their command, with a total strength of 60,000. Invade Yangzhou in the south!
Yuan Shu's army at this time was also 10,000, because he swallowed 5,000 of Yuan's soldiers.
Yuan Shucai doesn't care about the identity of Yuan's cousin, since you have caused me trouble, I will be polite to you.
In history, even without Liu Kun, Yuan Yu was finally eaten by Yuan Shu. With Liu Kun's chaotic entry into this time and space, the plot of 'Yuan Shu Attacking Yuan Legacy' has advanced a lot of times!
Yangzhou has six counties: Jiujiang, Danyang, Lujiang, Huiji, Wujun and Yuzhang, and Liu Kun's goal is; Occupy the two counties of Jiuyang and Lujiang, and take Yangzhou's territory in Jiangbei.
In this way, relying on the Yangtze River natural insurance, Liu Kun's defense of Jing and Yang Erzhou will be quite easy. Let everyone fight among themselves first, and after recruiting Dong Zhuo next year, it's not too late to slowly clean up Jiangnan!
November 6. Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie got the news of King Yan's southern invasion, but did not inform Liu Biao, but thought silently;
Since Liu Jingsheng came to Jingzhou, he has always been very protective of me! Some time ago, Kong Ling came to Jingzhou, and Liu Jingsheng planned to transfer me away and let Kong Ling sit in Nanyang.
If it weren't for Liu Biao's fear of running Nanyang for several years, his power would be deep-rooted. Fear of persecution too much. will force me to King Yan, I don't know what will happen at this time?
Now King Yan is marching south under the banner of asking for guilt. Is it necessary for me to stand on the same front as Liu Biao?
No, not at all!
In terms of intimacy, I have been friends with King Yan for several years, and the Wancheng I am in now is still captured by King Yan back then.
Loyal? I'm a Han official! is not Liu Biao's house slave, King Yan is already on the throne. Now sitting in the land of seven states, most of the world has entered its hands, and the supreme is just around the corner.
There is another point that Qin Jie doesn't want to mention; That is, King Yan's methods are too many and too ruthless, which is impossible to guard, and I think of throwing stones for a while back then. The yellow scarves in the city surrendered to this day, which still amazes Qin Jie.
Although the defense method of the trebuchet, as well as the defense method of bombing and bombing the door, are already known to everyone, Qin Jie does not have the slightest confidence that he can defend Wancheng.
On the seventh day of November, the scout came to report; Zhao Yun, the general of Zhengdong, is already less than twenty miles away from Wancheng!
Qin Jie ordered: "Gather the troops, open the north gate, and welcome General Zhengdong into the city!" ”
The scout was surprised and went away!
At the end of the afternoon, Zhao Yun led his troops to Wancheng, and when he saw Qin Jie, who was lined up outside the north gate, he not only said secretly: Sure enough, as expected by the eldest brother, Qin Jie will not resist me!
Qin Jie stepped forward, Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to greet Qin Jie!
Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were stationed in the Wancheng barracks, and everyone came to Nanyang Taishou Mansion for a banquet.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Yun said: "His Royal Highness King Yan misses his brother very much, and intends to recruit his brother as a doctor of Guanglu (rank is more than 2,000 stones), and he will accompany him in the court, I don't know what my brother wants?" ”
Such a result was already expected by Qin Jie, and he replied: "I have parted with His Royal Highness King Yan for six years, and His Royal Highness's voice and smile are still deeply engraved in my heart. ”
The scene was full of joy, everyone was more drunk, and the banquet dispersed until late at night!
Early the next morning, Zhao Yun reorganized the Nanyang army and looked for a man named Wei Yan Wei Wenchang.
Although I don't know what skills this person has, he will not be a mediocre talent if he can let the eldest brother deliberately look for it.
At noon, Wei Yan was taken to Zhao Yun's big tent.
Wei Yan in this matter is just a small tun chief, with hundreds of corporals under his command, responsible for guarding the south gate of Wancheng!
The mood of Huai Cai is definitely there, but Nanyang has not had a war for a long time, and there is no place to show his skills, at this time, he was suddenly summoned by General Zhengdong, and he was secretly happy in his heart;
Could it be that General Zhengdong knows that a certain person is a talent, and he plans to reuse it for me?
Then he shook his head and despised himself; Do you count that green onion? What is the record of the record? How will General Zhengdong know about you!
In a worried mood, Wei Yan came to Zhao Yun's big tent, and after the ceremony, Zhao Yun said: "His Royal Highness King Yan named you and said that you are a general!"
I am ordered by King Yan to promote you to be a captain, lead a thousand soldiers, and be the vanguard of the army! Do you dare to take on this task?
His Royal Highness King Yan actually knows about me Wei Yan?
Wei Yan was a little stunned, but after the joy, he was moved.
It is said that His Royal Highness King Yan knows people well, and it is true! A certain will definitely work hard to complete the task in order to repay His Highness's kindness.
Thinking of this, Wei Yan took a step forward and knelt down and said: "Yanding will open the way for the army in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and successfully complete the mission!" ”
Zhao Yun said lightly: "Very good!" I hope you don't disappoint King Yan's expectations! ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun took out a big knife and said to Wei Yan: "This is a weapon customized for you by His Royal Highness King Yan, after you go down, select a thousand soldiers in the Nanyang army, and then lead your deployment, go to the garrison to receive armor, cotton clothes, military tents and other equipment, and lead your troops to set off tomorrow!" ”
Wei Yan solemnly received the big knife and said solemnly: "Oh! ”
King Yan sent troops south, and the news of Nanyang Qinjie's dedication to the city reached Xiangyang, and Liu Biao's subordinates suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs.
Cai Mao was frightened in her heart, and persuaded Liu Biao: "Lord! The army of King Yan was extremely elite, and during the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, it was unstoppable to attack the city! Let's hand over Kong Ling, if it weren't for me to grow the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige, our army really couldn't beat King Yan! ”
Liu Biao felt a headache, and originally planned to feast his subordinates during the New Year, and take the opportunity to take down Qin Jie, so that Kong Ling could garrison Nanyang and resist Liu Kun! Unexpectedly, Liu Kun would attack at this time.
Can you really hand over Kong Ling? Will Liu Kun quit if he hands it over? Kong Ling also has 20,000 soldiers, will he be willing to be captured?
Liu Biao's gaze looked at Kuai Yue and asked, "What do you think of the different degrees?" ”
Kuai Yue groaned and said: "The so-called willingness, willingness!" There is no reluctance, how can it come, now the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are all against the lord yin and yang, the more suggests that the lord leave Xiangyang City to Kong Ling, lead the troops to the south, and firmly hold the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River in his hands!
If Kong Ling can resist King Yan, everyone will naturally be happy, if not, what if the land of Jiangbei County is given to King Yan? The lord can just concentrate his energy on the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, if the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are completely in his hands, what if the two counties in the north of the river are sent to the king of Yan? ”
Liu Biao pondered for a long time, then looked at Cai Mao, Cai Mao said: "The difference is reasonable, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the lord must not stay in Xiangyang to take risks!" ”
Liu Biao made up his mind and said: "It's okay! sent this city to Kong Ling, which can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous to him! Everyone, go home and pack up the softness, and leave Xiangyang with your troops early tomorrow morning! (To be continued......)
