Quan Cong wanted to ask for death, Liu Tan could naturally tell it. He looked at Quan Cong and smiled, then went up to meet him and said: "Old general, there is no need to be angry!"
As Liu Tan spoke, he untied Quan Cong. Quan Cong was a battle-hardened veteran, and of course he understood that Liu Tan was like this and must persuade him to surrender.
"You don't have to waste your efforts!" Quan Cong said coldly: "I Quan Cong was born as a general of Da Wu, and died as a ghost of Da Wu... Hurry up and kill me!"
Quan Cong wanted to anger Liu Tan, but Liu Tan smiled instead: "Old general, the world will be unified. This is the general trend. The world has been in chaos for too long, and it should end."
"Humph!" Quan Cong snorted and turned his head to one side.
Of course he knows what Liu Tan said.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, when the heroes were competing for the throne, and now the world is divided into three parts, it will eventually return to unity.
However, as a general of Wu, he certainly hopes that the one who will finally unify the world is Wu, who he is loyal to, rather than some big Han.
"Old General!" Seeing that Quan Cong didn't speak, Liu Tan threw the rope aside and said with a smile: "On the battlefield, the old general is the enemy of the younger generation. The younger generation will do their best to fight with the old general..." said
Then, he paused and then said: "But on the battlefield, the old general is the senior whom the younger generation respects. In this battle, the younger generation relied on advanced weapons to win against the old general by luck. It is not the old general's fault!"
p>
You should still listen to these words... Quan Cong's original anger has calmed down a little.
If the Han army had not possessed the explosive pack, Liu Tan would have never even thought about defeating him.
"No need to say more..." Quan Cong still said loudly: "The fact is that I was defeated by you... You don't have to think about surrendering to me. In Wu, we only have generals who have their heads cut off, and no one will kneel down and surrender.
."
"No, no, no..." Liu Tan shook his head and said, "The younger generation does not need the old general to surrender, because the old general is highly respected, how dare the younger generation be rude..." After speaking, Liu Tan returned to his seat and said with a smile.
: "The Jiangling War has ended. I wanted to release the old general and return to Soochow, but I was worried that Sun Quan would be angry with the old general because of his defeat."
"???" Quan Cong was stunned for a moment. If he was really defeated and returned to Wuchang now, Sun Quan would definitely punish him without even thinking about it, but he was not worried.
As a general, if he loses in battle and is punished by the emperor, even if he is beheaded, it is reasonable and he will not complain at all.
What's more, he was already dead in this defeat.
If he hadn't been forced into the river by his soldiers, he might have been blown to pieces by the Han army's explosive pack at this moment.
Liu Tan continued: "The younger generation respects the old general and cannot bear the old general to return to Wu and suffer Sun Quan's punishment..." As he said, he looked at everyone and said: "Please ask the old general to go to Chang'an to stay for a while, and wait for me.
After the fall of Soochow, whether the veteran general goes or stays depends entirely on the veteran general's will."
Haha——
Quan Cong's heart sank. Liu Tan did not intend to kill him or let him go. He wanted to escort him back to Chang'an and continue to be a prisoner.
"Send farewell to the old general!" Liu Tan immediately raised his hand, and several guards immediately entered the tent, and then accompanied Quan Cong to leave very politely.
Deng Ai was stunned when he saw this and asked: "Your Highness! Quan Cong is a veteran general of Soochow. If he can be recruited to surrender, he may be used when attacking Wuchang..."
But Liu Tan waved his hand and said: "I understand what Shi Zai means..." He sighed and then said: "After all, Quan Cong is a veteran of Soochow and has served Soochow all his life. If he is allowed to
It is not benevolent to turn against the old master at this time... It is better to let him go to Chang'an first, maybe he will be of great use in the future."
Hearing this, Deng Ai stepped aside in embarrassment.
Because he is also a surrendered general.
It's just that he is facing Soochow now, but in the future, he may also face his old master.
Liu Tan Renyi, he doesn’t want to embarrass Quan Cong.
"I, a big man, are now well-armed and well-fed. How can I survive in Soochow?" Liu Tan said with a smile.
"Your Highness is wise!"
As soon as Liu Tan finished speaking, all the generals agreed.
Then Liu Tan said loudly: "Our army has defeated the Soochow Navy in this battle. Tomorrow the whole army will set out to attack Wuchang."
"No!"
The generals heard the promise and agreed.
......
The great Sima Quancong was defeated and the 40,000-strong Soochow navy was wiped out. This shocked the entire Soochow court.
Sun Quan originally thought that Quan Cong could block the Han navy, and several other groups also sent troops to block it. It was not that easy for the Han army to attack Soochow.
But now...he is a little anxious.
"Everyone, please tell me!" Sun Quan looked at the civil and military ministers in the hall with a gloomy face and asked: "The Han navy is coming towards Wuchang... How should I respond?"
However, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to answer the question.
What else can be done?
How the Han army defeated Quan Cong and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Soochow now also know.
Explosive pack!
Explosive pack!
Explosive pack!
The Han army had terrifying explosive charges that could sink huge warships. Originally, the Han army had a strength advantage. Not only was it more numerous than the Wu army, but it also had a large number of cavalry.
Now, the Han army also has explosive packs that can influence the situation of the battle.
Haha——
There is no other way.
There is really no other way. No one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty has thought of a countermeasure. Now Soochow is facing a huge test.
Because after Quan Cong's defeat, Soochow's naval forces on the Yangtze River only had 30,000 people left in total, and they had to defend the entire Yangtze River defense line. In addition to resisting the murderous Han navy, they also had to defend against possible
Take the opportunity to pick up the bargain Cao Wei.
But what about the Han army?
After the two battles at Yiling and Jiangling, although many people were lost, there are still more than 50,000 troops left.
In the two battles of Yiling and Jiangling, the Han army lost a total of more than 30,000 people. Originally, they only had 60,000 naval troops for this eastern expedition, but Liu Tan brought 30,000 cavalry to help, and later Deng Ai led another
Two thousand cavalry came, and now the Han Dynasty still has more than 50,000 troops and more than a hundred large and small warships on the Yangtze River.
How can the remaining 30,000 Soochow naval troops stop the more than 50,000 Han troops who possess explosive packs?
In addition, the Han army has been victorious in consecutive battles on the Yangtze River. This news will soon spread to the southern border. The three Han armies currently blocked in the southern border may soon launch a general offensive.
Once the Han army launched a large-scale attack from all four directions, Wu Jun really didn't know how to resist it.
Moving the capital——
Sun Quan has been thinking about moving the capital for a long time. Instead of letting the Han army encircle Wuchang on all sides, it is better to move the capital back to the old capital Jianye before the Han army arrives.
Just as Sun Quan was discussing countermeasures with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, all four armies of the Han Dynasty took action. Ma Dai of Jian'an County and Tong Zhao opened the city and fought fiercely against Zhuge Ke, the general of Soochow;
Guan Suo and Chen Xin stormed Luling, which was guarded by Dongwu Zuo General Zhu Ju;
Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who had been staying in Lingling and not leaving the city, also led his army across the river and began to attack Ding Feng, the hussar general of Eastern Wu.
The Han army finally launched a full-scale attack.
