On the other side of the river, Xia Xiao and Li Yue were also looking at the south of the Yangtze River, but they couldn't see anything.

In order to send Liu Gaozhi's 5,000 men and horses across the river, more than 10 naval ships capsized in the wind and waves, and more than 400 soldiers fell into the river.

More than 800 horses were lost.

However, this loss is necessary.

Once Xie Xuan's army retreats to Xuchang or Jiangdong, more people will be killed or injured in the future.

Ci is not in charge of the army, and casualties are inevitable.

"When Your Majesty crosses the river and fights, the end will wait for a long time!" Zhang Oyster's duck voice rang in his ears.

Li Yue glanced at him, "As soon as you got on the boat, you were dizzy, didn't you die when you passed?" ”

"Liu Bamian can pass, and so can the last general." Zhang Oyster said indignantly.

I don't know when it started, the two of them were on the bar, competing for the title of the 10,000th enemy in the world......

In all fairness, in heads-up, Liu Gaozhi is not Zhang Hao's opponent, but the 10,000-strong enemy is not really a one-man one-man heads-up of 10,000 people......

Li Yue didn't bother to pay attention to him, "Send an order to the whole army and continue to rest!" ”

Liu Gaozhi followed his own instructions and carried out the method of attacking the heart, which had already trapped Xie Xuan.

Perhaps without crossing the river, the enemy army will collapse on its own and surrender the city.

In that year, Du pre-attacked Jiangling, Wang Junlou's ship broke through Zigui, and surrendered along the Yangtze River.

The situation is the same today as it was then.

Lexiang has been broken, the three-way army is pressing, and Jiangdong has just changed the dynasty, and the people's hearts are unstable.

War is a continuation of politics.

No one can't stand it, Jiangdong is already a candle in the wind.

As soon as he thought of Wang Jun's broken Zigui, a scout hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, Xue Tingshi led an army of 20,000 out of Yong'an, and the cities of Zigui, Yiling, and Gong'an all returned to Daliang!" ”

"Good!" Li Yue had expected it a long time ago.

It was not only these three cities that surrendered, but in the next few days, good news came frequently.

Wuling, Baling, Changsha and other places also surrendered one after another.

A large number of ships were confiscated, and the Chu army was transformed into a Liang army.

The upper reaches of the Yangtze River are all Liang soil, Xu Cheng asked Xue Qiang to defend Lexiang, and led 18,000 steps to ride down the river, gathering ships and naval forces from all over the country, advancing by land and water, and coming straight to Xiakou.

Xie Xuan in Xiakou City found that something was wrong, and tried to break through twice, but he was bitten by Liu Gaozhi's cavalry, and retreated to Xiakou with heavy casualties.

"It's time to clean up Xie Xuan!" Li Yue walked out of the big tent with his hands in his hands, the autumn was shining outside, and the rain had passed.

Xu Cheng's army had a warship down the river, and it had already reached the boundary of Wulin, and it could reach Xiakou in an hour.

"This time, the general will definitely cut off Xie Xuan's head with his own hands!" Zhang Oyster grinned.

Li Yue remembered something, got on his horse and walked slowly to the riverside, and the generals in the camp seemed to have a premonition and followed behind him.

After the heavy rain, the river level calmed down, and the Xiakou Castle on the opposite bank could be vaguely seen towering in the mist.

With a "snap", Li Yue threw the horsewhip into the Yangtze River, "Cross the river and break through Xiakou!" ”

"Command!" The surrounding general said with a sigh.

Knock, knock, knock......

The drums of war soon sounded, and the soldiers boarded the ships and headed for the opposite shore.

With Liu Gaozhi's cavalry there, the Chu army retreated in the city, and there was no one to defend on the south bank.

At this time, Xu Chengjun from the upper reaches also arrived, and the river was densely packed with warships, and countless people shouted and cheered, and the momentum shook the sky.

Xiakou City is just a small city, and it will definitely not be able to stop the onslaught of tens of thousands of horses.

Li Yuece stood by the river, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were taken, and the downstream Wuchang, Chaisang, Weixu, Jiankang and other places were like ripe fruits on a bunch of vines, waiting for people to pick them.

Maybe you don't have to wait for Ma Gu and Shen Jin's naval landing meeting, and this big battle can come to an end.

The shouts on the river spread to the south bank of the river.

The soldiers were already arrayed on the shore and besieged Xiakou City.

The sword and spear emitted a cold light under the autumn sun, and a murderous aura rose into the sky.

Li Yue also has no intention of persuading him to surrender, and people are always full of unrealistic fantasies. After all, Xie Xuan still has one or two thousand elite men and horses in his hands, and if the knife is not on his neck, he doesn't know how powerful Liang Jun is.

And the Xie family is in Jiangdong, he surrendered, and Xie An was disgraced in front of Huan Wen.

"Why don't you attack the city yet?" Lu Qing wondered.

Li Yue came back to his senses, the army went ashore and besieged the city, and it was already ready, and half an hour had passed, and the war had not yet started.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Separated by the Yangtze River, Li Yue could not keep abreast of the situation on the other side.

"Your Majesty, look, the gates of the city are open!" Lu Qing pointed to the west gate.

Li Yue looked, the west gate really opened, and a team of people walked out, and then, there were bursts of cheers from the south bank, "Down, down......"

Xie Xuan surrendered like this......

Li Yue felt a little complicated in his heart.

Although it fell a little late, a fight was avoided.

Moreover, Xie Xuan will still be useful in the next war, and Wuchang, Chaisang and other cities may also be able to take it bloodlessly.

In short, Xie Xuan's surrender was an impact on the hearts of Jiangdong people.

It's just a matter of dying on the battlefield, now that he has surrendered, Li Yue can't kill him, this is also one of the rules, if you trample on the rules at will, you will definitely be counterattacked.

It's like a spell hanging over the head of the Sima family.

"Xie Xuan surrenders, or you can separate Xie An and Huan Wen!" Lu Qingxing rushed to the road.

Li Yue thought for a while and shook his head, "You underestimate the Xie family too much, with the strength of the Xie family and the current situation, Huan Wen can't even confront him, how can he deal with the Xie family?" What is the co-governance of Koto? Huan Wen's ascension to the throne as emperor does not mean that Jiangdong is his. ”

It's okay to deal with some low-level people, but dealing with masters of power and scheming like Huan Wen and Xie An is tantamount to getting an axe in the class, and he is smiling and generous.

"I have marched on the four routes, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, why worry about the immortality of Jiangdong!" Li Yue said.

The advantage of the Liang army is on the battlefield, and the head-on victory is the safest.

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Qing complimented.

After a while, several large ships in the south of the Yangtze River slowly sailed in, and a group of Chu army generals walked out, and the first person took off his armor, praised his clothes, and looked calm, "Xie Xuan, the general of the defeated army, meet Your Majesty." ”

Although defeated, a heroic spirit on his face did not disperse.

Li Yue was furious, "I know that I will be defeated, why have you resisted Wang Shi so far?" ”

Several people behind Xie Xuan shook their bodies, looking frightened.

Xie Xuan's expression was as usual, "Xuan was a Chu minister yesterday, so naturally he wants to resist His Majesty for Jiangdong's father." ”

"Why do you want to surrender today?"

"Your Majesty is full of wisdom, between ten days, in Xia Wei Jiangling back and forth three times, first break through the Le Township, and then trap our army in Xiakou, Sun Wu used troops but so, the sin will know that he is invincible, in order to avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries of the soldiers, so he surrendered to the country."

Although Xie Xuan's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, there were many compliments in his words.

A sentence of "Shangguo" put Li Yue up.

"The children of the Xie family are really extraordinary." Li Yue sighed.

No matter how much they despise the clan lords in Jiangdong, it is undeniable that there are indeed some characters among them, and not all of them are wine bags and rice bags.
