Li Diandao: "What should we do? They won't surrender and won't let us fight in. How can we win?"
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, and then placed his hope on Xu Sheng and Ding Feng who were tied up. He clasped his fists and said, "Two generals, it was Kong Ming who deceived you. It was my fault, but it happened for a reason. I don't want to see more.
Killing. What is before you now are fifteen thousand living beings. They have been completely surrounded. Even if they do not surrender, or if you are unwilling to persuade them,
It doesn't matter to me if you surrender. I can cut off their food and water. There must be very little food in the military camp. I'm afraid they won't be able to support it for a few days and they will all starve to death. Rather than letting them die in vain, it's better to take care of them.
If they don't like serving as soldiers for our Chinese nation, then send them back to their hometowns and give them land for farming. Two generals, what you want to do depends on the generals."
After Xu Sheng and Ding Feng heard this, they both sighed. Xu Sheng said to Ding Feng: "If they die, then at least 10,000 households will fall into grief. As their generals, we cannot
Leading them to die on the battlefield, unable to lead them to defend their home and country, yet starved to death alive. This was our mistake. We had nothing to do with them, so we let them die in vain like this. How could I bear it...
"
After hearing this, Ding Feng already understood what Xu Sheng meant. He sighed and said, "Just do what you want."
So Xu Sheng said to Zhuge Liang: "I am willing to persuade them to surrender and put down their weapons. As for whether they are willing to serve as soldiers for the Huaxia Kingdom, that is not my decision."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Untie Generals Xu and Ding."
The men followed the instructions and let go of Xu Sheng and Ding Feng. Then the two of them bowed to Zhuge Liang and entered the Wu army's camp.
Li Dian, Le Jin, and Huo Du were all a little worried after seeing them, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Will they incite Wu Jun to fight us bloody battles after entering?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I tell them out of benevolence and righteousness that they will never do such a thing unless they are treacherous and evil people. Please just wait patiently."
After Xu Sheng and Ding Feng entered the military camp, they never came out again. Time passed by little by little. Li Dian, Le Jin, and Huo Du all began to worry, but for Zhuge Liang, they were confident.
In the evening, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng came out of the military camp with many generals. Most of them took off their armor and weapons and expressed their willingness to submit to the Huaxia Kingdom. Only a few hundred people were willing to disarm and return to their fields.
Xunyang City, led by Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, peacefully resolved the conflict. Zhuge Liang also trusted Xu Sheng and Ding Feng very much. He personally hosted a banquet for Xu Sheng and Ding Feng that night, and asked Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to persuade Lu Meng and Lu Meng to surrender.
Under the persuasion of Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, he also expressed his willingness to submit to the Huaxia Kingdom.
At this point, in just one day, Zhuge Liang occupied Xunyang City, controlled Wu's navy, and broke through Wu's first line of defense. The Chinese flag fluttered in the wind at night.
At the same time, in Xia Pheasant City, Zhang Liao had ordered his troops and horses, waiting for the arrival of former general Yan Yan and rear general Tian Yu. Zhuge Liang's Fei Ge Biography clearly stated the entire plan, and Zhang Liao only needed to
Just act according to the plan.
Not long after, people reported Yan Yan and Tian Yu arrived one after another. Zhang Liao gathered all the generals and told Zhuge Liang's plan. After hearing this, all the generals thought it was a brilliant plan.
Zhang Liao said: "According to the time, Zhuge Liang should have occupied Xunyang City by now. We can set off as soon as the exact news comes."
In the hall, the four generals Yan Yan, Tian Yu, Zhang Qian, and He Qia accompanied Zhang Liao and sat there quietly waiting. Zhang Liao also began to make his own arrangements, preparing to march by land and water to directly attack Chaisang City.
In order to attack Wu, Gao Fei organized his army into four armies. Zhang Liao and Zhuge Liang were all subordinate to the Fourth Army directly led by Gao Fei. Therefore, after receiving Zhuge Liang's plan, Gao Fei decided to use Xunyang and Chaisang to attack Wu.
The ground was an important place to break through Wu's defense line, and it was also the first battle launched by the four major armies against Wu.
The other three group armies had problems mobilizing their generals, so it would be a little late to launch the war. What Wu Guo feared the most was the 100,000 land and water troops stationed in Xunyang and Chaisang under Zhou Yu, so they used this as a breakthrough.
If we first occupy Xunyang and Chaisang, we can knock down the mountains and shake the tigers, making them completely tremble in front of the powerful military of the Huaxia Kingdom.
Not long after, a scout entered the hall and dedicated the flying pigeon letter he had just received from Zhuge Liang to Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao saw it, he smiled and said: "Zhuge Liang is really a wizard. I didn't expect that he would completely control Xunyang City as he predicted. Back then, he lost to Zhou Yu. I was still a little worried about why the emperor used his strategy. Today
It seems that I am too worried, this Zhuge Liang must have been working hard and working hard to defeat Zhou Yu completely."
Yan Yan said: "General, let's start taking action now? Soldiers are so valuable and so fast!"
Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Let's go."
………………
It was extremely quiet in Chaisang City late at night, and most of the soldiers had already rested. However, in the night sky from Xunyang to Chaisang, a homing pigeon was flapping its wings desperately, with a secret letter tied to its leg.
Xin, and drove quickly to Chaisang City.
Arriving at the sky above Chaisang City, the carrier pigeon circled down, and then landed at its destination this time, the palace of the Chariot General in Chaisang City. As soon as it landed, it began to chirp happily, and the person responsible for raising the carrier pigeon hurriedly
He ran over and took off the secret message tied to his leg. The pigeon completed its task at this time and flew into the cage to rest, feeling relieved.
The General's Mansion was originally the residence of the cavalry general Lu Su. Lu Su was transferred to Xunyang by Zhou Yu to replace him as the governor, and he also left Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi to guard Chaisang and handle all major military and political affairs.
The appointment was given to Sun Jing, King of Guiyang.
Sun Jing was Sun Jian's younger brother, and he also played an important role in the Wu Kingdom. After Sun Ce ascended the throne, he was posthumously named Emperor Zhaowu. A few years later, Sun Ce missed his father, so he made his father's younger brother the king. Sun Jing was
At that time, he was named King of Guiyang.
Sun Jing, Wang of Guiyang, had fallen asleep at this time. Suddenly she heard someone knocking on the door, saying it was an urgent report. Sun Jing got off the bed, put on a coat, opened the door, took the urgent report from the person, and returned to the house.
After that, he lit the candle and took a quick look in the light of the fire. He immediately became very nervous and hurriedly shouted out the door: "Go and tell Zhu Ran, Chen Wu and Dong Xi to come to the mansion immediately."
He also hurriedly put on his clothes, and then waited quietly in the hall for the arrival of Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi.
Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi had all gone to bed. When they suddenly heard the summons, they all put on their clothes and hurried to the general's mansion.
In the general's mansion, Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi arrived and immediately paid homage to Sun Jing. After the ceremony, without waiting for the three of them to ask questions, Sun Jing spoke first: "Three generals, please order your troops immediately."
Horse, go and reinforce Xunyang."
Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi looked at each other and asked in unison: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
So Sun Jing handed the secret letter to Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi for circulation, and said: "This is a letter written by Xu Sheng himself, saying that the Huaxia Kingdom went to war without declaring it, and first deceived the governor to arrive.
Participating in Luqi riding on the North Shore
Wedding, now surrounded Xunyang City with a large army, threatening the lives of the governor and Lu Chaqi, forcing them to hand over Xunyang City. Xu Sheng prayed for reinforcements, and used the strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao to attack Qichun City of China."
The content of the letter was more detailed than what Sun Jing said. After Sun Jing finished speaking concisely, Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi had not finished reading it. After the three of them finished reading, they all said in unison: "This is what happened.
It's an emergency, so don't neglect it. I'll go forward by land and water to save the Governor."
Sun Jing said: "This is best. General Zhu and General Dong can lead 20,000 naval troops to the Xunyang River. General Chen can lead 20,000 horse infantry to support Xu Sheng. I will lead this 10,000 naval army to prevent Huaxia from attacking."
After the plan was made, the four of them didn't feel anything unusual, so they gathered their troops overnight and divided their forces to advance.
At the same time, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses were also quietly driving from Xiaji City to Chaisang in full swing. The navy postponed the attack, while the horse infantry had their men and horses bound, and took advantage of the darkness to take action.
Zhang Qian and Hexia commanded the navy. They waited for Zhang Liao, Yan Yan, and Tian Yu to leave for almost an hour before they began to take action. Along the east side of the river, hundreds of large and small warships and 70,000 navy troops came to Chai Sang.
And go.
At this time, Zhu Ran and Dong Xi's navy were going upstream and were about to transfer from the Yangtze River to the Xunyang River. It was the middle of the night. Heavy fog had fallen on the river and visibility was extremely low. However, due to the urgency of the matter, they had to reach this point.
When turning the corner, Zhu Ran and Dong Xi's navy didn't pay much attention.
Who knew that the navy led by Zhang Qian and He Xia suddenly came out of the thick fog, and the warship directly hit the Wu navy. With a "bang", one of the Wu navy's warships was immediately knocked over.
Then there were countless "booms", and the Chinese navy blocked the Wu navy. In addition, the Chinese navy followed suit.
The water flowed down, so it had a certain advantage, but the Wu navy was unprepared and was suddenly hit by the Chinese navy. I didn't know how many people came in the thick fog. I just felt that there were enemies on all sides, so I was terrified and was blocked again.
It was cut off, and the head and tail could not be considered at the same time, so that the command failed and each ship fought independently.
Zhang Qian led the vanguard destroyer and cut the Wu navy into small pieces as planned. The bows and crossbows also began to fire randomly, and fired the crossbows specially equipped by the Chinese navy, which defeated the Wu navy.
The ballista is a newly invented combat weapon of the Huaxia Kingdom. It is suitable for siege warfare and large-scale water battles. A small amount of explosives is tied to the crossbow arrows of a giant ballista, and then ignited and launched. The power of the explosives is used to kill the enemy more concentratedly.
place.
The use of ballistae in water battles is even more powerful. Since ancient warships were mostly made of wood, once the ballistae is fired, the hull will be destroyed, and there is a certain chance that the hull itself will catch fire.
He Qian led the navy behind. Seeing that the navy led by Zhang Qian had completely dispersed the Wu navy, his army rushed directly. The Chinese soldiers were many and wide, and the power of the crossbow weapons plus the sudden
As a result of the attack, Wu's naval forces were quickly defeated and completely routed, with more than half of them killed or injured.
