At this moment, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared in the southeast, led by the Zhendong general Zhuge Shang. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that Fu Tong received a flying report from A Jian, so he immediately ordered Zhuge Shang to bring a cavalry to meet Hu Ji. Zhuge Shang marched overnight, rushed to the Xiling area at dawn, and happened to meet the pursuit of Hu Ji last week, Zhuge Shang waved his troops forward, fought with the Wu army in one place, and saved Hu Ji.

Zhou saw the Han army reinforcements coming, but no longer chasing, ordered Ming Jin to collect the troops, anyway, this battle Wu has been a complete victory, failed to capture the Han army general, can only be regarded as a little regret, the lack of flowers on the brocade, Zhou did not care, led the army back to Xiling.

Although Hu Ji escaped his life by luck, he was also ashamed and indignant, he sent Fu Ji Zhuge Shang to attack Jiangling, just to make him a partial division to lead away the Wu army, but he didn't expect that he had to rely on others to save him to escape his life, so that Hu Ji, the governor of the southern capital, was disgraced.

The Han army suffered heavy losses in this battle, the army led by Hu Ji was broken and seventy-eight, only twenty or thirty thousand remnants remained, and the Han army that escaped by luck was also embarrassed.

The middle route was defeated, and Fu Tong on the east route also failed to conquer Jiangling and was forced to lead the army to retreat north. Wang Jun's soldiers on the west road went out of Yong'an, and were blocked by Wu Yan in Jianping, and they were not allowed to advance an inch, and when they heard that Hu Ji was defeated in Xiling, Wang Jun had to retreat to Yong'an.

The Han army went out to Xiling this time, and the three roads went out together, and the prosperity of the soldiers was unstoppable, but the result was a tiger and a snake's tail, and the emperor fled north.

The target of Zhou's main attack this time was only Xiling City, and it was only because of the attack of the Han army that he had to slow down the attack on Xiling, and the tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements severely damaged the Han army that came to attack.

Under the big victory, Zhou can still maintain a clear understanding, now Ji Han's national strength is strong, is the weak Wu State can not be compared, the battle of Xiling, Wu Junsheng in the right time and place to help, in fact, it is already very lucky.

Therefore, Zhou resolutely rejected the request of the generals of the Wu army to pursue, gathered men and horses, and launched a strong attack on Xiling City again.

Cen An got the news of the defeat of the Han army, and was stunned, with a bitter smile squeezed out of the corners of his mouth, it seems that this is a catastrophe that cannot be escaped.

Since Cen Duan was killed, Cen An knew that he was at the end of his rope, although the Wu court did not move himself for the time being, it did not mean that he would never move, Cen An could only escape with his life if he surrendered to Ji Han.

But now it seems that even if he takes refuge in Ji Han, his safety cannot be guaranteed, and in the end he will inevitably die.

When the Han army came to help, the entire Xiling defenders were excited, their spirits were greatly lifted, and they thought that they had come to the savior.

But when the news of the defeat of the Han army came, the entire Xiling City fell into a dead silence, and the word despair was deeply written on the faces of every Xiling person, and the empty and helpless eyes were blank and fluttering.

This is a result that no one expected, doesn't it mean that the Han army is extremely powerful? Destroying the Jin Kingdom, sweeping the Wuhu, and dominating the world, how could they be defeated in a small Xiling City?

Cen An can't figure it out, the Xiling army can't figure it out, I'm afraid even the Han army's expedition to the southern capital of Hu Ji can't figure it out, but the facts are beyond doubt, the Han army was indeed defeated, and it was defeated very badly.

Zhou didn't give Cen An any respite, and when he turned around, he commanded the army to attack the city with all his might.

There are still so many people and horses attacking the city, and there is no change in the men and horses defending the city, but the Xiling City, which the Wu army had not been able to capture for more than 20 days, was declared lost after only supporting it for half a day.

The defenders under despair have lost their original fighting spirit, the army is disheartened, morale is low, and it is the last bit of will to hold on for half a day, and the fall of Xiling City is no longer in suspense.

After attacking Xiling, Zhou ordered that the Wu army should not kill a single person indiscriminately, and all the rebels who laid down their arms would be treated leniently, with the exception of Cen An, the culprit of this rebellion would definitely be sentenced to death.

As for these subordinates of his, whether they are voluntarily followed or coerced, Zhou will no longer delve into them, these people are all the people of Wu State, if Zhou is in Xiling to kill, it can only make the relatives and enemies happy.

Zhou will capture the Cen An family into the prisoner car, escorted back to Jianye to the imperial court to deal with, and then rebuild Xiling City, after this war, Xiling City has also become dilapidated, Zhou has to seize the time to rebuild, in case of the Han army again.

Although the Han army was hit hard this time, Zhou knew that the Han army had not reached the point of breaking its muscles and bones, perhaps out of retaliation, the Han army would soon attack again, so rebuilding Xiling was a top priority, and it could not be delayed.

Xiling is really a blessed land of Wu, Lu Xun was here to break Liu Bei, laid the pattern of the Three Kingdoms, if the surrounding is more to turn the tide, in the abdomen and back by the enemy's unfavorable situation, in one fell swoop to break the enemy, reversed the tide of the war, so that the situation of Wu turned the crisis into safety, this feat, is enough to compare with Lu Xun, but also made Zhou become a well-deserved famous general of Wu State.

After Cen An was escorted back to Jianye, he was soon sentenced to car splitting, and the Cen family was beheaded all over the house, destroying the three clans, and he was merciless to any rebels.

And because of the merit of the Zhou Department in quelling the chaos, the food and the city were sealed with 2,000 households, and the title of Taifu was awarded, and the people of Wu were praised, calling Zhou the general of Zhongxing, and the Wu State had his protection, and he would be able to live safely.

After Hu Ji fled back to Xiangyang, he thought about a grievance on the left and a depression on the right, and at the instigation of his subordinates, he wanted to recruit an army and then conquer Xiling.

Fu Yan refuted it unceremoniously, thinking that now that the Han army was newly defeated, it was only appropriate to retreat, not attack.

The two disagreed and argued, this time Fu Ji did not make any concessions, and confronted Hu Ji very strongly, and unceremoniously said that Hu Ji was joking with the lives of the soldiers of the Han army.

This made Hu Ji very annoyed, but one of the two was the governor of Zhengnan and the other was the governor of Pingnan, and there was not much difference in rank, plus Hu Ji's defeat was a loss, so he didn't have the upper hand at all. Moreover, most of Hu Ji's soldiers and horses were lost, even if he wanted to send troops, he had to rely on Fu Ji's soldiers and horses, Fu Ji refused to fight, and Hu Ji had nothing to do.

Soon after, the news of the loss of Xiling came back, which also cut off Hu Ji's last thought, and he had no choice but to pack up the remnants and return to Luoyang in disgrace.
