Chapter 181: Sun Yi's Death
Zhu Chun hates Zhu Zhi, but does he really not want to return to the main house? No, he thought, he thought better than anyone else, the only thing worth discussing was what kind of attitude he should take to go back, if he ran back like Zhu Zhi casually invited just now, it would be a great shame for him and his father, but if Zhu Zhi died, and the Zhu family, who had lost their backbone, took the initiative to invite them back in a low voice, it would be another matter.
It is precisely because Hao Zhao understands Zhu Chun's psychology that he will shoot Zhu Zhi in front of him, otherwise, Zhu Chun, who killed Zhu Zhi with his own hands, will never be recognized by the Zhu family again in this life.
In front of the rout, Zhu Ran, who watched Zhu Zhi being shot off the war horse by Hao Zhao's arrow, was stunned, if it weren't for the guards next to him and Lu Fan pulling him to death, the heartbroken Zhu Ran would have gone crazy and went back to avenge his father.
Jinfan's pursuit battle continued, but in terms of decisiveness, Lu Fan was obviously much better than Zhu Zhi, seeing that Jinfan's army was about to chase the rout into the city, Lu Fan immediately chose to break his tail to survive, and directly asked people to close the city gate, raise the suspension bridge, and isolate a part of the Jiangdong rout and all the Jinfan soldiers outside the moat.
Countless Jiangdong rout soldiers gathered under the city and shouted and scolded the city to open the door, but Lu Fan remained unmoved, until the Jinfan army arrived, these Jiangdong routs who knew that it was impossible to enter the city again were disheartened, and simply stopped resisting, each threw away his weapon and surrendered Jinfan.
Hao Zhao glanced at Jurong City with some regret, and had to retreat back with the pawn for the time being.
In this battle, Jinfan killed 8,000 enemies, captured more than 2,000 enemies, and only more than 5,000 Jiangdong soldiers escaped back to Jurong City under the pursuit of Jinfan, as for Jinfan's own losses, in addition to the casualties of the former army of more than 3,000 and the soldiers of the trapped camp also killed more than 100 people, the remaining casualties are almost negligible.
Twenty miles west of Jurong City, he set up camp, and it didn't take long for Jiangdong envoys to visit, hoping to bring back Zhu Zhi's body.
Hao Zhao didn't speak, only cast a look at Zhu Chun, and put the decision in Zhu Chun's hands.
Zhu Chun's eyes were full of complexity, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed and said: "That's it, since Zhu Zhi is dead, no matter how big the grudge is, it should be gone, they can take it away if they want to, and it will save me from worrying when I see him!" ”
Hao Zhao smiled slightly: "Zhonghua is really open-minded!" ”
――――――――――――――――
On the other hand, Wang Chong, who was leading the army to Wanling, got a piece of news that caught him off guard on the way, that is...... Sun Yi died, at the hands of his own general.
"This idiot, I had already sent someone to warn him, asking him to be careful of the eyeliner that Sun Quan planted beside him, but the result was ...... I'm fucking pissed off! ”
According to the report of the sentinel, a few hours ago, Cheng Pu and Han Dang led the troops to arrive outside Wanling City, and the two of them reprimanded Sun Yi with righteous words, scolding him for being sorry for Sun Jian, sorry for Sun Ce, and sorry for the ancestors of the Sun family, and at the same time advised him to rein in the precipice as soon as possible, and they could intercede with Sun Quan for him and ask him to forgive his sins.
However, Sun Yi's attitude was very resolute, he suspected that Sun Quan sent someone to assassinate Sun Ce, scolded Sun Quan for being the traitor who forgot his ancestors, and then in turn persuaded Cheng Pu and Han Dang to support him, find out the truth of the matter, and seek justice for the dead Sun Ce.
But no one would have thought that just as the quarrel between the two sides was fierce, Bian Hong, the general standing behind Sun Yi, suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed Sun Yi to the ground with a sword.
The soldiers in the city were dumbfounded, and Cheng Pu and Han Dang under the city were also dumbfounded, and when everyone reacted, Sun Yi's generals in the city drew their weapons to kill Bian Hong to avenge Sun Yi, but who knew that the latter actually directly brought out Sun Quan, saying that it was Sun Quan who instructed him to spy on Sun Yi, and once Sun Yi was found to have signs of rebellion, he would directly find an opportunity to get rid of him.
Bian Hong is very smart, the reason why he waited until Cheng Pu and Han Dang came before killing Sun Yi was to avoid his revenge from Sun Yi's generals, after all, as soon as Sun Yi died, as long as Cheng Pu and Han Dang were there, and he was also at Sun Quan's behest, this would make Sun Yi's subordinates, who had no way out and could only return to Jiangdong, be jealous, and maybe they would be able to save their lives because of this.
Facts have proved that Bian Hong guessed correctly, those Sun Yi generals did hesitate, but he misestimated Cheng Pu and Han Dang's feelings for Sun Yi.
At the moment when Bian Hong, who thought he had made a great contribution and was about to be promoted to the rank of knight, opened the city gate to let the Jiangdong army enter the city, Cheng Pu didn't say a word, raised a sword and cut off Bian Hong's head, and even directly asked people to pull Bian Hong's body out and chop it up and feed it to the dogs.
You must know that Sun Yi has been watched by Cheng Puhan since he was a child, and these old courtiers in Jiangdong have deep feelings for each other, not to mention what is Sun Yi's identity? That's Sun Ce and Sun Quan's own brother, even if he really committed some heinous crime, he had to be handed over to Sun Quan to deal with it personally, which turn would not be lynched in the future by Bian Hong, a small family?
In addition, the most important point is that Sun Quan secretly planted eyeliner next to his own brother before Sun Yi's official rebellion, and if this matter is to be spread, Sun Quan's reputation will be extremely unfavorable, and it will also make other Jiangdong civil and military people wonder if there is also Sun Quan's eyeliner by his side? Therefore, in order to make Jiangdong internally stable, Bian Hong must die, and everyone must be convinced that Bian Hong is only saving his life in the name of Sun Quan, and in fact there is no eyeliner.
Effortlessly took Wanling, plus the 6,000 Sun Yi's subordinates, Cheng Pu and Han Dang's soldiers and horses reached 27,000 people.
At this moment, Wang Chong's heart was full of remorse, originally he led his troops from Hulin into the hinterland of Danyang, in order to join forces with Gan Ning to get rid of Cheng Pu and Han Dang's Jiangdong army first, but who knew that Sun Yi's pig died like this, and he didn't even stop the other party for half an hour.
Now, Cheng Pu and Han Dang have led the army straight to Wuhu, if it is at Jinfan's current marching speed, it will be difficult to catch up after it, and if it turns around and goes back to Hulin to take a boat, I don't know if it will be too late.
Therefore, Wang Chong's troops were divided into two routes, and 4,000 cavalry led by himself and Tai Shici went into battle lightly and continued to pursue by land; Jiang Qin and Wang Shuang led the remaining soldiers and horses back to Hulin and took a boat to Niuzhu.
Wang Chong is not too worried about Hao Zhao's ability to defend the city, he only hopes that Jiang Qin and Wang Shuang can reach Niuzhu one step ahead of the Jiangdong Army, because the current Niuzhu is only garrisoned by Ren Jiang with 4,000 soldiers and horses, once it is recaptured by the Jiangdong Army, coupled with the two counties of Shicheng and Danyang, Jinfan's march will inevitably suffer great resistance, and even Hao Zhao will fall into the siege of the Jiangdong Army and officially become a lone army.
