Chapter 154: Jingzhou finally returns to the Han Kingdom (2)

Due to the Tao family, Sun Hao now often uses the royal family. For example, in Jingzhou, he uses the descendants of Sun Lin, a descendant of the ancient capital town, but he still uses the obedient Sun Jie as the supervisor to restrain each other.

Now the governor led his troops to attack Fancheng is Sun Shu, the son of Sun Lin. His lineage has been in Jingzhou for many years and has also trained some elite soldiers. However, seeing that the soldiers under the tent have no desire to fight, Sun Shu gave up the fantasy of breaking the city a few days ago and began to think about how to retreat smoothly.

The basic condition for a famous general is to know how to advance and retreat, when to advance and when to retreat, and be clear about the opportunity to advance and retreat, and not be confused by the benefits in front of you. If you do this, you can strive for the title of famous general.

Sun Shu believes that he is not a famous general, but he believes that he is still very sure of the opportunity to advance and retreat on the battlefield.

He attacked for another day and broke through beautiful things like camps and castles in one fell swoop. He didn't even find any flaws in the city defense - to be more precise, the flaws above cannot be used by thousands of soldiers under his command - which made Sun Shu completely give up the idea of ​​biting a piece of fat on Fancheng.

Besides, so what if he breaks the city, his position has reached a limit. As a royal family, although he is the emperor's confidant, his power is limited. The Sun family is not ruthless in killing the royal family!

He destroyed Fancheng, but he was just a memorial. After that, there were Dengxian and other cities, so he went deep into the hinterland. Without the support of the navy, he would never have been able to defeat the Han army!

Although he was not very clear about how many troops there were in Fancheng, which may be a lot or a small number, Sun Shu had no intention of using his life to gamble. Sun Zhi ordered him to send troops. He had done so that he did not have to continue to fight for Sun Zhi.

He is the emperor, not the King of Liang. The King of Liang himself is just the son of the emperor. Although there is a possibility of inheriting great achievements, Sun Hao has already established the crown prince, and the King of Liang has no chance. It is even more impossible to stop his promotion, nor can it be of much help to his promotion. In this case, Sun Shu naturally knows what he should do and how to do it.

Sun Shu would not throw his capital from his country to Fancheng, which was meaningless to him. If he abandoned the thousands of elite soldiers who bowed to his orders, his family would immediately be ranked among the top five in the clan and become bullied by everyone.

Even like the Tao family, it is not impossible!

Now Sun Jie, who is in charge of leading a large army under Xiangyang City, actually has the intention to retreat.

Originally, this battle should not be fought, at least it is not to fight here. If Xiangyang's strong city is prepared, it will be difficult to break through, and this should not be the direction of Wu's progress.

Moreover, not all of these subordinates can be used now. Sun Shu would not place his hope on these members who had their own thoughts. To be more precise, he did not believe that this conquest could be successful, but was just a casual battle.

What he most hoped was to receive the good news from Fancheng, but so far, he only sent back everything was going smoothly. Sun Jie knew that something was wrong and immediately wanted to retreat.

"It's time to retreat." After finding the leading general, Sun Zi said his order.

After all, he is King Liang. With many industries now in hand, he has money to win people's hearts, so he has great authority among his subordinates. Sun Jie can easily drive them to serve himself without any interest. With money as a helper, everything is handled in an orderly manner without any panic.

A war was a slight start, but for both sides, their initial goals had been achieved.

The Han family wanted Xiangyang, while Sun Jie was just thinking about dealing with Sun Hao. In terms of losses, if we only counted in front of us, the losses of the siege were only about a thousand, and there were more than 300 people defending the city.

Just look at the number, you will know how low the intensity of this battle is!

This is a large-scale battle between the two sides, with only one casualty!

As long as the city is not broken, the number of casualties will only double at most.

He had not suffered a great loss, but he could already repay the gods and worship Buddha, but Sun Jie was still not happy because one thing could be confirmed - that is, the Han family really rose up.

It should have been the weakest country among the Three Kingdoms, but it should have been destroyed two years ago, so why did the salted fish suddenly turn over?

This was the first close contact with the Han Dynasty after Sun Hao was in charge of Jingzhou. It can be foreseen that this was definitely not the last time. Sun Wu attacked Jingzhou, which caused the Yan Han's rise to rise to a new height. Such a grudge would eventually be returned.

If the Yan Han has ambitions to the world, sooner or later, the two countries will really decide the winner.

Whether it is Zong Yu on the top of the city or Sun Zi under the city, he has become enlightened at this moment.

As he watched the enemy troops surrounding the city go away little by little, Zong Yu's mind relaxed slightly. He was old and should have lived his life, but if you have the right to do something, he has to work hard.

There are not many people that Yan Han can use now. The military still lacks generals who can supervise one side, so the veterans have to move. The sound of the horn seems to be echoing in their ears, but the city is empty. Zong Yu secretly praised the decision of the commander of the Wu army at the city to let go. If others were leading the army, they would probably stop after they were beaten to death.

An emergency message has been received. The 200,000 Wei troops in Guanzhong have been wiped out. Only the Wei thief Sima Yan fled in the mountains, and most of the rest were captured. The end of this battle has completely washed away the Yan Han's decline. It would be fine if the people's hearts rise up, but even he has a sense of pride, thinking of directly supervising the Northern Expedition!

Although he was still worried about Zhang Wei and his more than 3,000 soldiers trapped in Fancheng, he could not be careless at this time. The Wu army had a navy and wanted to come quickly, so he just picked up about a thousand elite troops from the city and chased behind the withdrawn enemy. As for the reason for the Wu army's retreat, it was quite difficult to think about.

The answers that Zong Yu had imagined were all reasonable and made it difficult for him to determine - but now, Zong Yu just wanted to relax for a while, and he couldn't use his old bones a few times. After following His Majesty's strategy, he attacked Xiangyang, and waited for the Jiaozhou strategy to be fully prepared, the battle in Guanzhong ended, and then attacked Jingzhou in three directions.

Huo Yi has already entered Jiaozhou. Although the Wu Kingdom has been defeated, all the troops have not yet been mobilized thoroughly. At this time, he wants to fight slowly and completely attack Jiaozhou of Wu Kingdom. At least he has to conquer Yulin County and Cangwu County, and then cooperate with His Majesty's three-way strategy to attack Jing.

On the way, I received a messenger who came quickly to report the message. This was one of the guards sent by Huo Yi to Tao Huang, and it was still trustworthy.

"What do you think of the governor Tao?" After he gave his respect, Huo Yi immediately asked, "Has some people been touched?"

The guard nodded at this time: "Yes, the governor, the envoy Tao has already persuaded the Baiyi chief Shou Mu Hu and others to attack Yulin County. The envoy Tao ordered me to send a message to the governor, let the governor attack Yulin directly, and then join forces to Cangwu County."

Huo Yi never expected any reinforcements. What he did in Nanzhong was to train troops and wait for the opportunity. After all, at that time, the Han Dynasty was weak and Wu was strong, and it was difficult to use both suppression and appeasement.

He thought Tao Huang would set up an inner support in the city, which was good, but he didn't expect Tao Huang to persuade a tribe. Wuhu and Huo Yi also knew that this was a great chief, just like the Meng family's status in the Southern Barbarians. The Wu family had almost the same status among the Yi people in Jiaozhou, although they were only the second-ranked figure, which was enough.

Huo Yi never expected Tao Huang to do this. Wu Hu was even more unfair than his brother. It was much more difficult to get him to get rid of the fire. He could send troops. This was already a skill to splash the sky.

"How did General Tao talk about Wu Hu?" At this time, Huo Biao in front of Huo Yi's tent asked what he wanted to ask for.

He is the grandson of Huo Yi and the eldest grandson of the Huo family. He has been listening to it in front of the army early on. Now he is in charge of the guard and has the rank of general.

The messenger said everything Tao Huang did from beginning to end. Although Huo Yi had already understood Tao Huang, he was surprised to hear that he killed the messenger of Wu directly and killed him in ten steps. He was also quite impressed by Tao Huang's redeemment that could make him famous in the court.

"Governor Tao has made great contributions." After hearing this, Huo Yi murmured, and then he suddenly looked up and said to Huo Biao, "Go and find General Wen. This battle of conquest must be fully accomplished!"

Since Tao Huang had already completed most of the pre-tasks, Huo Yi's goal was naturally higher. This time, he not only had to take Yulin County and attack Cangwu County, but also Nanhai County, and then join the army to directly fight the north.

In Fancheng, the air above the city was still filled with the burning smell of torches. When the sun was in the middle of the sky, it had not faded after half a day. The dust and smoke in the air dyed the clear blue like water a few days ago with an ambiguous turbidity.

Zhang Wei closed his eyes and leaned against the stool while sleeping. For some reason yesterday, after he withdrew last night, the Wu army attacked the city several times in succession, which made the city exhausted. The Wu people's troops were only twice as powerful as Zhang Wei. He stayed up late last night and no one could rest. Not only was Zhang Wei very tired, but the enemy troops under the city did not continue to attack today.

But even if it attacked, Zhang Wei was not afraid at all. According to the normal combat power exchange ratio, the Wu army could barely compete with the 3,000 elite Han army. If it weren't for their concern that they had a navy army and the main force attacking Xiangyang was drawing troops at any time, Zhang Wei would have sent people out of the city to fight in the field long ago.

He had enough confidence to destroy more than 5,000 Sun Shu's tribes outside the city in one battle, even if he had only 3,000 people in his hands.

Zhang Wei's literate personal soldier reported the losses of last night in front of him. "There were 517 people who fought with the general last night, 31 of whom did not come back, and the remaining more than 50 people were seriously injured and sick, and they could not rejoin the battle in a short time."

Zhang Wei's face was as gloomy as the sky above his head. Five hundred people followed him out of the city to raid, but thirty-one of them were unable to return. And dozens of people were lying on the hospital bed. Those who he took out for the night attack were all the elites. In fact, there were eleven casualties, but they did not expect the losses to be so miserable.

He regretted a little, and he knew that he had done something wrong. Zhang Wei closed his eyes and the personal soldiers didn't know what he was thinking. As he hesitated, his voice stopped.

"Why don't you say it?" Zhang Wei opened his eyes and asked.

The personal soldiers hurriedly continued to Zhang Wei: "In the military, there are more than 30,000 arrows sent by the day yesterday. They have been gathered together according to the general's request and distributed to those who are good at archery skills, but there is no way to defend the city's equipment."

The city was extremely short of arrows, and there was no oil, no wood and stone, and there was not much firewood to boil water. The equipment to guard the city was even more destitute. Although the Han army was good at guarding, it was hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice. She lacked enough supplies to defend the city. Zhang Wei could only let his subordinates prepare to fight head-on with the Wu people on the city.

I don’t know how long this battle will take, but Zhang Wei did not lose confidence. No matter what, the city can still be defended and the food is enough. Although there is a slight shortage of weapons, it will be fine to defend the city for a few more days, let alone the weapons will be sent.

In Linpu City, Sun Che was watching the tribes passing by outside the city, and was full of panic.

I thought it was an ordinary barbarian invasion, which was very normal in Jiaozhou, but now he found that what he was facing now was an elite of organized forces, and his tenacity was much stronger than that of ordinary barbarians, so he was surprised: 'Who are they?'

The faint vibration from the ground broke Sun Che's guess. He stood up again and looked east. He saw dust rising in the sky, covering the valley among the eastern mountains like fog. After a while, thousands of barbarian cavalry appeared in front of him.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and thousands of troops came to the ground. When the defenders in the city heard it, it was like the chains of the Gousi people making noises.

The enemy troops surrounded outside the city suddenly had nearly one and a half times more troops. Everyone on the top of the city had a pale face. They were originally besieged and were gradually lost. Now there was another new force, which made them completely lose confidence.

Sun Che looked at his subordinate who had become numb, and a ruthless aura arose in his heart, "Let me listen to those who don't want to die! These barbarians are only six or seven thousand, and we have two thousand. When will these barbarians break the city less than ten times the defenders? All cheer me up! I have already asked Yu Lin for help!"

He roared loudly and said lies without hesitation: "These are just barbarians. They have no weapon. Don't be scared? Hold on to today, the governor will definitely bring reinforcements tomorrow!"

Sun Che was also a royal family and was close to Sun Che. He knew that it was not good enough to be appointed as the city order in this remote area, but at this time, he was still illusioned.

In the past few days, I have heard that someone from the Tao family traveled around Jiaozhou. He didn't know whether the city was stable. After all, his city order is here to enjoy the happiness, not to suffer. He wanted to worry about so many things, but now he regrets it slightly. It would be better to prepare earlier and abandon the city order that has not much fuel and water early, and go to Jianye early, otherwise he wouldn't be so scared now!
