In order to fight against the coming enemy, Taishi Ci did not care about the people for a while, and almost violently integrated the two counties of Ai and Xi, exhausting the people's strength to support the army. With failure in mind, he decided to prepare for the war with all his strength.
As a result, after waiting left and right, we saw Jingzhou Army's scouts and cavalry coming and going, but no large army came. All the preparations were in vain.
It turned out that Liu Jing received a report from Han Guang, saying that although the city of Xi'an was small, it was very strong. In addition, Taishi Ci's strategy was more brave than Xu Sheng's, so the difficulty of attacking it might not be less than that of Chai Sang.
When Liu Jing heard this, he immediately stopped his troops and asked Han Guang to lead his troops back. Although it only took five days to attack Chaisang, the number of casualties exceeded 3,000.
There are still siege towers, trebuchets and other siege weapons to help, otherwise the casualties will be at least doubled. This shows the difficulty of siege in ancient times. In the art of war, it is said that siege is a last resort, which is really a wise saying.
.
Liu Jing had previously sent Han Guang, Gao Xiang, Feng Xi and others to lead troops to pursue Taishi Ci. In total, more than a thousand people were beheaded and more than 3,000 people were captured on both sides. No more than a thousand people fled to Xi'an with Taishi Ci.
To be honest, this small number of troops is no longer enough to affect the overall situation. It is impossible for Liu Jing to add thousands of soldiers to Xi'an, a remote small county, and hundreds of defeated soldiers. Even if Taishi Ci is the general of Jiangdong, it is not worth it.
Moreover, according to the news from the scouts in the east, Sun Quan's Wu reinforcements are about to enter the Yuzhang territory. They have hundreds of ships and are extremely powerful. They will reach Chaisang in less than ten days.
With such a powerful military force, and if nothing unexpected happens, the person leading the army must be Zhou Yu. This is the most feared person in Jiangdong, Liu Jing must be very alert to deal with it, how dare he be distracted at this time
He cares.
Of course, even if Taishi Ci's strength is not as strong as before, he still has the ability to stir up trouble. He must be careful. Ai, Xi'er County is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains to the north, west and south. Liu Jing only needs to send troops to Fu Yichuan in the east.
, Xiushui was stationed there, and Taishi Ci could be blocked in the valley so that he could not cause chaos.
The south side also stopped at Liling, but while Liu Jing recalled Liu Zhu, Su Fei and others to prepare for the battle, he also asked them to pose as if to attack Haihun to attract Sun Ben's attention.
"General, Liu Zhonglang and Su Zhonglang are back and are asking for an audience outside the door." Yu Zheng walked into the lobby of Chaisang County Temple and reported to Liu Jing.
Liu Jing was writing a letter to Huang Zu of Jiangxia, urging him to send a batch of armaments and grain as soon as possible. After hearing Liu's wishes, Su Fei returned, smiled and nodded: "Let them in quickly."
Liu Zhu and Su Fei heard the call and came in. Behind them were a short, sturdy, and slightly dark-skinned middle-aged man. Seeing Liu Jing's majestic gaze, the middle-aged man did not dare to look at Liu Jing, so he bowed his head and said: "
The villain Peng Hu, pays homage to the general."
"You don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Liu Jing put on the posture of a courteous corporal and praised: "I am a powerful man in Poyang, with a crowd of over ten thousand, and a powerful person. I have heard of your name when I was in Changsha.
If you take one step and lead the crowd to vote, you will surely set an example for Yuzhang."
Since Liu Jing intended to annex Jiangdong, he naturally paid special attention to the semi-separatist forces in Jiangdong such as Peng Hu. As early as a few months ago, he began to send people to contact him privately, thinking that he was an insider.
It was just that Peng Hu was surrounded and suppressed by Tai Shi Ci, Sun Ben, Jiang Qin and others some time ago. He suffered heavy casualties and had to hide temporarily. It was not until Liu Jing's army arrived at Chai Sang, Liu Zhu and Su Fei led their warships deep into Pengli Lake that he reappeared.
It was with his help that Liu Zhu and Su Fei were able to capture Liling and cut off Taishi Ci's return path.
"I didn't expect that the villain's humble reputation could actually reach the ears of the general..." Peng Hu stood up from the ground, with a look of disgrace on his face.
In the final analysis, he is just a local tycoon, and is even classified as a bandit. Who is Liu Jing? He is the overlord of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. Even Liu Jing has heard of his reputation. How can he
Can you not be secretly proud of yourself?
Liu Jing smiled. In fact, he knew this person in his previous life. Peng Hu only left a few words in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Even experts who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms probably don't know who such a small character is like a passerby.
Liu Jing knew about Peng Hu because he accidentally saw a textual research on the Three Kingdoms, which juxtaposed the Peng family of Poyang with the Qu family of Jincheng (Xiping).
The Qu family of Jincheng (Xiping) can be called a wonderful flower in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of Han Dynasty, Qu Sheng, Qu Yan, Qu Guang, Qu Ying... Starting from the end of Han Dynasty, it went through Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Huan, and lost ambition in decades
Undying rebellion.
In fact, at about the same time, there was another Peng clan in Poyang. Starting from Peng Hu, there were Peng Qi, Peng Dan, etc., which were also rebellions for several generations. However, because Sun Quan was particularly able to survive, he was not responsible for the disaster.
generation.
These two major families, one in the northwest and the other in the southeast, can be said to have been very successful in rebellion.
Because the article's views were unique and interesting, it left a deep impression on Liu Jing. Although he could not remember the details many years later, Peng had been active in the Penghu area, and Peng Hu's name was a homonym for Penghu, so he always remembered him.
Liu Jing said with a smile: "You don't have to belittle yourself. If you hadn't led the people to lead the countryside, our army would not have captured Liling so easily. We will reward you based on your merits. I should take this step as the first achievement."
Peng Hu twitched the corners of his lips, puffed out his chest and pretended to be heroic, saying: "The small town of Liling is not worthy of praise. Haihun is where Taishi Ci ruled, and the people are well-off. Today, Taishi Ci was defeated and left Ai, Xi, Haihun."
Empty, such a rare opportunity, wouldn’t it be a pity if the general didn’t take it?”
How could Liu Jing not know the importance of Haihun? It was just because of the situation that he told Peng Hu about the coming reinforcements from Sun Quan and Wu. The latter suddenly realized why Liu Jing insisted on recalling Liu Zhu, Su Fei and others.
Kennan takes Haihun.
Peng Hu was unwilling to give up and tried to persuade Liu Jing to change his mind. "The sea is bordered by the Gan River to the east and the mountains to the west. It is the strategic point of Yuzhang. Once the sea is dark, the northern part of Yuzhang is under the control of the general."
Seeing that Liu Jing was unmoved, Peng Hu gritted his teeth and said: "The general is preparing for the enemy in the east and has no time to go south for the time being. I wonder if it is possible to mobilize two thousand elite soldiers to help the villain? The villain will conquer Haihun and offer it to the general."
If Peng Hu was still strong, he would have sent troops to attack Haihun. However, he danced too happily a while ago and was jointly encircled and suppressed by Taishi Ci, Sun Bi, Jiang Qin and others. Most of the more than ten thousand disciples were killed and wounded. Now there are only two or three people under his command.
With thousands of soldiers capable of fighting, these few men and horses naturally cannot attack Haihun, so they can only borrow troops from Liu Jing.
"Oh? Are you serious about what you said?" After hearing Peng Hu's words, Liu Jing immediately changed his mind. Zhou Yu's army was about to arrive. He really didn't want to divide his troops, but if he sent two thousand troops to capture Haihun, he had no reason not to
agree.
Peng Hu's face lit up, he patted his chest and said: "How dare you deceive the general? As long as the general is willing to send troops to help, if you fail to defeat Haihun, I am willing to be punished."
