Chapter 683 Annexation
Lexiang.
Scouts, careful work, intensive traffic.
The camp was filled with murderous intent.
Lu Kang sat with his sword in hand, waiting for news from the west and north.
If the Qin army marches eastward, he will not hesitate to go up the river and fight the Qin army first!
If Jiangling is lost, as long as Xiling is in hand and the defense of the Yangtze River is in hand, Soochow can regain its strength and regain it.
But if Xiling is captured by the Qin army, the situation in Jingzhou will immediately deteriorate.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Bu Chan will leave the camp and head northeast!" the soldier said with a carefully crafted secret report.
"Everyone in the Bu family deserves death!" Wu Yan said angrily.
The Bu family first colluded with the Qin State, and now they colluded with the Sima family, determined to commit treason.
Lu Kang took a few steps, and suddenly his eyes became determined, "Zhang Xian and Sun Zun will lead three thousand naval troops to patrol the waterway, and the rest of the army will march directly to Jiangling!"
"What can be done if the Qin army goes eastward?" Cai Gong asked doubtfully.
Lu Kang said with a smile: "If the Bu family has reached an agreement with the Qin State, there is no need to contact the Sima family again. The Qin State will definitely not allow the Bu family to separatize Xiling. This is our army's fighter plane, destroy the stone buds, and the danger of Xiling will be solved!"
Lu Kang was somewhat familiar with Yang Zheng's style.
Born as a domestic slave, he had a certain innate hatred towards the gentry.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have continuously suppressed the powerful nobles, causing chaos in Sichuan. At the beginning, Lu Kang responded to the powerful powerful people in Shu and led troops to attack Yong'an, but unfortunately he was blocked by Luo Xian.
To put it bluntly, the Qin State and the nobles did not deal with each other at all.
Rather than joining the Qin State, the Bu family would have been better off staying in the Wu State.
The Wu army in Lexiang rose up and headed straight for Jiangling.
At this time, Jiangling was on the verge of collapse.
Shi Ji suffered an illness and fainted in front of the battle line. The morale of the defenders was low, and the Jin army was attacking fiercely.
"You can't leave, old man Shibao!" Wu Yan roared like a tiger roaring, the sound was shocking.
This man came from a poor and humble background, not even a humble family, but he was a talented civil and military general. He was eight feet tall, had extraordinary physical strength, and could kill tigers with his bare hands. He was originally an official in Tongjiang County, but was later discovered by Lu Kang and used as the governor of the tent.
Champion the three armies bravely.
Wu's army's combat effectiveness has always been uneven.
It depends on the right time, place and people, and more importantly, who is in charge.
Lu Kang's soldiers are definitely the best in Jiangdong.
At that time, he followed Lu Xun to fight in the north and south, and participated in the Battle of Yiling, the Battle of Shiting, the Battle of Xiangyang, and the Battle of Zhucheng. His opponents ranged from Cao Xiu to Sima Yi, Man Chong, and Wang Ling, and he was never defeated.
Now these elite soldiers and generals are following Lu Kang.
As soon as the Wu army arrived on the battlefield, it was as if the mountains were falling and the earth was cracking.
Wu Yan and Zuo Yi were the vanguard, Cai Gong, Zhu Qiao, and Yu Zan were the suspects on the left and right, and Lu Kang, the governor of the rear, was as powerful as thunder.
In Jiangling City, although Shi Ji fell, Shi Ji's troops did not. He concentrated on fighting Shi Bao in the streets and fought over and over again in the city.
Seeing the fierce attack of the land resistance, the Jin army lost ground.
Shibao tribe summoned Wang to fight, and hundreds of cavalry rushed towards him.
Wu Yan's infantry engaged in the battle without any fear. He threw out his spear and knocked Wang Zhao, his men and his horse to the ground.
He pulled out the Huanshou sword and charged head-on into the enemy cavalry, slashing several horse legs in succession.
Hundreds of cavalry were swallowed up by the Wu army in the blink of an eye.
Shi Bao, who was watching the battle in the camp in the distance, was surprised, "Where is Yan Xun?"
Just as he shouted out, he suddenly remembered that Yan Xun was injured and had been transferred back to Xiangyang for treatment.
The other generals around him were afraid and did not dare to fight.
Wu Yan and more than a hundred soldiers got on their horses and roared angrily, "Old man Shi Bao will die here today!"
Watching Shi Bao's tooth flag charging towards him.
Later, Lu Kang personally beat the drums for everyone, and the suspect soldiers on the left and right turned into a forceful attack.
Although Lu Kang only had more than 10,000 troops, he was as powerful as a hundred thousand troops.
Shi Bao and Wang Yi's 40,000-strong army rushed here from Xiangyang. They were already exhausted. One part of them was trapped in Jiangling City, and they could not see each other.
When the Wu army in Jiangling City saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and the young men in the city also came to help in the battle.
"This place is in danger, Situ retreats temporarily!" Wang Yi said, cupping his hands.
Shi Bao is the only remaining general of the Sima family. If something goes wrong here, Sima Yan's face will not be able to rest, and his ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor will also be affected.
"Please avoid Situ!" The surrounding generals and soldiers advised him one after another.
"Old Shi Bao, don't leave!" Wu Yan came with great ferocity and had already reached the camp gate. He bent his bow and set an arrow. From a distance of more than 200 steps, he shot down the soldiers around Shi Bao with one arrow.
However, the Jin army was also elite and resisted vigorously, with spears poking out from the camp like reeds.
The war horse that Wu Yan had snatched was stabbed to death, and he was also struck with a spear on his thigh and rolled off the horse.
At this time, Shi Bao was no longer a member of a poor family back then. His family was as wealthy as his country's and he had a prominent position in the court.
Looking around the battlefield, the Jin army was exhausted and fearful. Shi Bao looked at Jiangling and sighed: "Send the gold and withdraw the troops!"
The moment the golden sound sounded, the Jin army seemed to be relieved and retreated to the main camp while fighting.
Shi Bao did not retreat, and the Jin army's camp was preserved.
It gave the Jin army a glimmer of hope in the bloody battle in Jiangling City.
The Wu army charged and fought for a while, while Shi Bao defended the camp. The Wu army was exhausted and did not attack by force. They surrounded Lu Kang and entered Jiangling.
The city immediately erupted in cheers like a tsunami.
Soochow's offense is insufficient, but its defense is sufficient.
After all, it is your own vital interest.
Lu Kang led his soldiers to Shi Ji's bedside, but before he could see him for the last time, Shi Ji died of illness.
The wife, concubines, and young son were crying in front of the sick bed.
Several generals' eyes flickered.
Jiangling is not Lu Kang's sphere of influence, and Lu Kang will leave sooner or later.
The Shi family has a great cause. According to the Soochow military system, how can these generals not be jealous?
However, Lu Kang sat directly on the commander's seat in Jiangling City and summoned the generals, "From today on, Jiangling will be merged into the Lu family!"
"What?" Several generals were shocked and angry.
Lu Kang said tepidly: "Do Feier and others have any objections?"
Next to him, Wu Yan, Cai Gong, Zhu Qiao, and Yu Zan pressed their hands on the handle of the sword.
"Jiangling is the property of the Shi family!"
"Jiangling is the Jiangling of the country." Lu Kang waved his hand gently.
The hall was immediately filled with sword flashes, and several members of the Shi family were all chopped into pieces.
Blood was flowing under his feet, flowing slowly to the wooden steps. Lu Kang's expression remained gentle and calm, "After Jiangling, it is the Jiangling of the country and the Jiangling of the Lu family. Anyone who does not follow will be killed."
The Lu family has been suppressed for too long, and today they finally have an opportunity.
If Jingzhou wants long-term peace and stability, it can only tolerate two tigers in one mountain!
Lu Kang knew what he wanted to do from the beginning.
"My subordinates take orders!" Cai Gong and Yu Zan said with murderous intent.
The war stopped, but the bloody smell did not dissipate, but permeated the whole city.
Jiangling was then annexed by Lu Kang, and all the Shi family tribes became Lu family tribes.
"Jiangling is unattainable!" Shi Bao sighed as he looked at the big flag with the word "Lu" raised on the city wall.
After fighting Lu Kang, he immediately knew that Lu Kang's tribe was powerful.
The timing of Lu Kang's appearance was also perfect.
Otherwise, with Shi Bao's decades of military career, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
"Yesterday, good news came from Yiyang. The king defeated Sun Hao. He killed more than 10,000 people and captured nearly 20,000. Chariots, horses, armor, and grain were piled up like mountains. Situ broke the siege of Xiangyang in one battle, surrounded and killed Shi Ji, and raised the country's prestige in the south of the Yangtze River.
, Since Jiangling is out of reach, Situ should return in triumph!" Wang Yi suggested.
Shi Bao nodded, "It's true what Shu Yuan said!"
