Chapter 531: Recovering the entire territory of Jingzhou

After scaring Liu Yin, he repeatedly promised that he would never disobey military orders again, and only then did Ma Jian let Liu Yin go.

There is no way, Ma Jian himself disobeyed the military order specifically to die. But if this habit is passed on, the impact on the chain of command will be huge.

I have insurance when I die, what do you have when you die?

So no matter how disobedient it is, Ma Yan, who used to like to disobey military orders the most, has now become the first person to maintain the majesty of military orders.

To get back to the point, this battle was thanks to Sun Quan's blessing, and Ma Jian finally waited for the main force of the Wu army. 40,000 Wu troops were completely annihilated at Changbanpo, and since then the entire Jingzhou has been almost empty.

Not only Jingzhou, because of the battle of public security, Ma Jian also ate tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wu army. So far, the number of troops that Eastern Wu can take out is no more than 50,000, and Jiangling is already in the bag of the Han army.

But even so, Ma Jian still had to send troops to attack as soon as possible. After all, Gangneung is indeed a dangerous city, and even if the garrison is empty, it is not particularly easy to fight.

After arranging for Liu Yin to press the captive governor back to Xiangyang, Ma Tan Xiu wrote a letter to the public security and ordered Xiang Pet to lead troops to cooperate. Later, Ma Jian led 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry and quickly moved south along Jingxiang North Road.

Along the way, several county towns such as Qingni and Xiling all fell from the wind. After all, the main force of Eastern Wu was defeated under their noses, and this situation made it difficult for them to raise their fighting spirit.

Ma Tan was surrendered all the way and quickly killed under the city of Jiangling. Then he used cavalry to watch the avenue, and led the infantry to meet Xiang Pet and prepare to forcibly attack the fortification.

A few days later, Xiang Pet also sent 17,000 foot soldiers from Jingnan to the north. The two armies converged, totaling 20,000 foot soldiers, and launched a strong attack on Gangneung City.

However, even if all the main forces of Eastern Wu were brought out, the defenders in the city were only 2,000 people. However, the Han army's strong attack still seemed very difficult, especially the two-city system of Jiangling City, which made the Han soldiers suffer a lot.

There is no way, when Guan Yujian was in the first place, he was running to make it never fall. As a result, because of a certain Mi who did not want to be named, Jiangling gave up, and now Jiangling has become a problem that troubles the Han army itself.

Fortunately, Ma Jian was not in a hurry, the main force of Eastern Wu had been basically wiped out, and he was not worried about any support from the Wu army at all. Therefore, after Ma Tan ordered the cavalry to hold the Wulin Avenue, he personally led all the foot soldiers to press up.

Just when Ma Tan attacked Jiangling, Lu Xun's soldiers were defeated and died, and the news of the annihilation of the Jingzhou Army also came back to Jianye. When Sun Quan heard the news, he was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned.

"How is this possible? Didn't Ma Tan resist the Wei army in the north? How could he be here? ”

Sun Quan didn't dare or want to believe that this was true, he didn't want to believe that his Jingzhou corps, along with his Grand Duke, had all died on the battlefield. But Prime Minister Gu Yong coldly broke his illusion,

"Supreme! Now is no longer the time to think about this, things are so dangerous that there is no time to hesitate. ”

"The corps in Jingzhou is your force to deter all the disobedient forces in Yangzhou, and it is also the guarantee of Jianye's stability. Now that they are all wiped out, if they don't prepare as soon as possible, Yangzhou will be in chaos. ”

"When the time comes, your enemies will not only be the Xishu family."

Gu Yong reminded Sun Quan at this time that the current situation had reached the point of unsustainability.

In this battle for Yangzhou, Eastern Wu lost at least half of its troops, most of which were hardcore troops loyal to his grandson's family.

The ripples of this lack of military power are enormous. The first of these is whether Sun Quan himself, the king of Wu, can still sit firmly on the throne.

You must know that now Yangzhou is not convinced by his grandson, but it is not a family or two. As soon as the news of the defeat at the front spreads, the number of opponents against him will increase exponentially.

Not to mention the anger of the families of the war dead, the protests of the wealthy families who lost their property...... All this has to be solved by him as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, even if Xishu doesn't do it, I'm afraid that Cao Wei in the north will not be able to bear it.

It was not until this time that Sun Quan suddenly discovered that the situation had reached such a crisis in a very short period of time. The current situation of internal and external difficulties is not even much better than that on the eve of the Battle of Chibi.

At that time, he still had Zhou Yu in front of him, but right now, who else was he?

"Command the rest of the tribe to withdraw from Gangneung! Jingzhou doesn't want it! Sun Quan smiled bitterly, and his eyes returned to clarity.

"The current situation has reached such a point that it is all lonely! But Lone will not give up, the Sun family has three generations of foundation, and Lone will definitely keep him even if he dies! ”

"But right now, Bo Yan, Dinggong and others have all died on the battlefield, and Wu Jun urgently needs a governor to take over, can there be a candidate for the prime minister?"

"Luo Tong, it's a big use." Gu Yong calmly recommended.

"As for the rest of the capable people, the Supreme still has to ask others, Gu doesn't dare to say more."

Although Gu Yong is a local faction, his ascension to the throne itself represents loyalty to Sun Quan. Although the situation is chaotic at the moment, Gu Yong does not think that Sun Quan should be betrayed at this time.

This can be regarded as the only comfort that Sun Quan can get at the moment.

Subsequently, Sun Quan, at Gu Yong's suggestion, took Luo Tong as the new governor and Zhuge Ke as the deputy, and was jointly responsible for leading the Wu army. And their first task was to withdraw all the Wu troops from Gangneung and give up all the places except Xiakou.

In particular, the Eastern Wu naval army, according to Sun Quan's instructions, except for some of the elite troops stationed in Xiakou to prevent the Han army from entering Yangzhou, the rest of the elite soldiers all withdrew to Jianye. He needed this force as a deterrent, so that he could quickly cut through the chaos and dispose of the opponents.

Under Sun Quan's instructions, Luo Tong took over Lu Xun's position, and Zhuge Ke took over Ding Feng's position. The two quickly entered Xiakou, and then received a desperate news.

Gangneung, completely lost contact!

On Jiangling City, Ma Jian stood on the head of the city with difficulty, looking at the head of the city full of corpses, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like I'm the better one!"

In the space of ten days, Ma Tan led 20,000 men to attack in turn, and finally he himself took the lead. As a result, because the head of the city was too high and the defenders were well prepared, he was the only one who climbed the top of the city in the end.

Fortunately, he had a slight advantage, and one person, together with several knives, forcibly cut down all the hundreds of people in the city to the ground, and won a difficult victory.

The head of the city was conquered, and the Han army then poured into the head of the city like a tide. The defenders of the city did not have time to withdraw to the next city, and were finally surrounded and annihilated by the Han army.

Since then, Jingzhou, the most difficult city, has been taken down by Ma Tan. This also means that the entire eight counties of Jingzhou have all been recovered!

"Write a letter to the prime minister...... Forget it, prepare a horse for me, and I will personally go to Chang'an to report the good news to the prime minister! ”

This is a good guy to write, and it is also an anti-routine flow Kuang Fu Han room, Shuzhong recommends it here
