Niu Jin took over Jiangling City from the Han army, and then Sima Lang and Sima Yi arrived at the same time. All 40,000 troops entered Jiangling City. After cleaning up the bodies of the Wu soldiers who died in the battle, they had people cremated outside the city and the ashes were
Send someone to the state of Wu.
On the other hand, Zhuge Liang led his army to secretly cross the south and crossed the river with the boats that had been prepared. Zhuge Jin was left behind to surrender to the Huaxia Kingdom with 10,000 Han soldiers, and to pass on any news he had.
.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led their entire armies to press towards Jingnan. Zhuge Liang's naval forces were unable to intercept the 80,000-strong army that Zhuge Liang had taken away. Instead, Zhuge Liang used a strategy of diverting the tigers away from the mountain, attacked Zhu Ran's naval camp and set it on fire.
In order to put out the fire, Zhuge Liang lost time to stop Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's 80,000-strong army began to secretly cross southward despite being well prepared.
The contest between Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu began again in Jingnan.
However, while Zhuge Liang and Sun Ce's armies were marching, a war broke out in Xiangyang City, far away from the Han capital.
After the Huaxia Kingdom surrendered the Han navy, its morale was greatly boosted. Gao Fei took command of the overall situation and pressed all its troops onto Xiangyang City.
In order to besiege the Han army, Gao Fei ordered all the people within a hundred miles of Xiangyang City to be relocated. For a time, the people dragged their families and moved collectively to the Xinye area north of the Han River. These people originally came from Xinye
After escaping, they were now driven back, and the Chinese army was also very kind to the people. Not only did they distribute food, but they also distributed land on an equal basis, so these people had no complaints.
With a radius of hundreds of miles, there are Chinese military flags everywhere. Geographically, it directly cuts off all connections between the Han army and completely surrounds Xiangyang City.
In the past, Gao Fei had always wondered how Liu Bei could come up with the bad idea of clinging to the isolated city with Zhuge Liang as his support. Now it seems that this idea is not a bad idea, but a clever plan. Because Liu Bei has been played by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang used
Liu Bei was a stepping stone, just a chess piece on his way to success.
Gao Fei stood on a high mountain, picked up his telescope and looked at Xiangyang City. He saw that the guards on the city were a little tired, and couldn't help laughing. After that, he moved his sight to a camp outside the city.
Inside, I saw that inside the big camp
But the soldier was full of energy and said: "Yan Yan is indeed a good general. Compared with the soldiers in the city, there is a world of difference. Fengxiao, do you have a clever plan to capture Yan Yan? Such generals will be left behind.
What a pity it is in Liu Bei’s hands!”
Guo Jiadao: "It's not difficult to capture Yan Yan. It's rare to get him back. I heard that Yan Yan came from Western Shu when he was young, and he was forced to join Liu Bei. However, he was always loyal and never turned against him. He brought him out.
His soldiers are also outstanding."
"You mean, you have to convince him before you surrender?" Gao Fei put down the telescope, turned his head, looked at Guo Jia, and asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. And to make Yan Yan convinced, only one person can do it."
"who?"
"General Tiger!"
"Hahaha, it's wonderful. The two of them are of the same age. If they fight, they will definitely cherish each other. Fengxiao, you go and make arrangements. Draft an imperial edict and send an order to General Huang to get Yan Yan here first.
In this way, Xiangyang City will become even more passive."
"promise!"
………………
"Make it higher over there...yes, yes, that's right...reinforce it over there..." Huang Zhong shouted to his subordinates while inspecting the station.
After the soldiers heard Huang Zhong's cry, they all began to heighten and strengthen the earth wall around them. Since Gao Fei decided to besiege Xiangyang City, he naturally had to take practical actions, so he built a high wall outside Xiangyang City.
The wall is five feet high and three feet wide. It is the same height as the city wall of Xiangyang City. Soldiers can also stand on it for patrol. It has stairs, doorways and parapets, which is equivalent to a real small-scale Great Wall.
.
Anyway, there are many Chinese soldiers, and they are powerful. Such a huge project only took two days and nights in the Chinese army. Moreover, because in winter, watering was done at night and it froze overnight, so it was very strong.
Huang Zhong was still shouting, when suddenly Guo Jia came from behind and called him. He turned around and saw Guo Jia, so he asked: "Sir Taiwei, is there something wrong?"
"The emperor has decreed that the general go out to fight and meet with Yan Yan for a while..." Guo Jia said.
"Great! I've been waiting for this day, but I'm so suffocated!" Huang Zhong said happily, "I'm going to order all the troops and horses to see if I don't cut off Yan Yan's head and present it to the emperor...
"
"Ahem... General, the emperor did not ask you to kill Yan Yan, but to conquer Yan Yan..."
"Huh? How to conquer it?"
Guo Jia took out an imperial edict, handed it to Huang Zhong, and said: "General, the edict is here. How to subdue it depends on the general."
After saying that, Guo Jia turned around and left.
Huang Zhong opened the imperial edict and saw several large characters, which read: "Yan Yan must return to his heart."
However, Huang Zhong was puzzled. Isn't this embarrassing him? He hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty Taiwei...the emperor only has these seven words?"
"The imperial edict has been given to you. You will understand after reading it."
Huang Zhong hurriedly chased after him and said with a smile: "Sir Taiwei, I usually treat you well, right?"
"Well, the general treated me well. In my impression, the general only entertained me once, and that time was because General Zhao got married to the general's concubine, at the wedding hosted by the emperor. After all,
That's also a state banquet, not the general's private banquet, right?" Guo Jia said with some criticism.
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then smiled and said: "Sir Taiwei, do you have time now?"
"What?"
"I want to treat you to a banquet. We have been colleagues for many years. You are in the court and I am away from home, and I rarely return to the capital. Naturally, we cannot meet each other. Mr. Taiwei is the think tank around the emperor. There must be a way to help Huang. As long as
Mr. Taiwei is willing to give you some advice, Huang will definitely thank you personally in the future!"
"Oh, I remember that I still have some things to do. I still have a few orders that I haven't delivered yet. I need to..."
Huang Zhong took Guo Jia's hand and said: "Sir, Taiwei, you can just let your subordinates do such small things. I have a jar of fine wine in my tent, and I have been reluctant to drink it. Today, Mr. Taiwei is here."
Visit, let’s taste it together..."
With that said, Huang Zhong took Guo Jia and walked towards the military camp. As he walked, he ordered his men: "Hurry and prepare the food and drinks. I want to drink as much as you want, Lord Taiwei..."
In addition, Huang Zhong also sent the subordinate officers who followed Guo Jia to just dispatch orders.
Guo Jia's small body could not withstand Huang Zhong's pull, so he could only follow Huang Zhong towards the military camp. From a distance, the two of them looked like a father leading a naughty child.
After entering the big tent, the wine and food were served not long after by the principal. Huang Zhong and Guo Jia sat across from each other. Huang Zhong poured the wine for Guo Jia himself, and then said: "Sir Taiwei, Huang goes first as a courtesy!"
As he spoke, Huang Zhong drank the wine in one breath. However, when he put down the glass, he saw that Guo Jia had not drank and asked, "Does the Lieutenant dislike this place?"
"No, no! It's just that I just had lunch, so I'm not too hungry, and I don't feel thirsty, so..."
"Then you have to drink a little. If you don't drink, how can I ask you to advise me?"
Guo Jiadao: "You don't have to drink to make suggestions. General, are you really asking me for advice?"
"Well, that's absolutely true."
"No matter what I ask you to do?"
"I'm not afraid of death, what else should I be afraid of?"
Guo Jia thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, no, this matter is too detrimental to the general's image. It's not good, it's not good. I think the general should ask other people..."
"No, no, no, let me ask you. Both Jia Taiwei and Xun Taiwei were transferred by the emperor to the north of the Yangtze River to resettle the relocated people. Prime Minister Tian and Prime Minister Xun have both returned to the capital. You are the smartest person to rescue them here.
, who do you want me to ask? It’s just taking up a tiny bit of Lord Taiwei’s time, isn’t it possible that Lord Taiwei won’t even do it?”
"General, I do have a plan, but I'm afraid you won't follow it."
"I still say what I said, I'm not afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?"
Guo Jia confirmed again: "Is this true?"
"Of course it's serious!"
"Well, General, when you fight with Yan Yan, as long as you are captured alive by him..."
"What? How can Mr. Yan Yan's three-legged cat Kung Fu capture me alive? I can barely capture him alive!"
Guo Jia shook his head and sighed: "I have said it before, this strategy will damage the general's reputation. Since the general is not willing, then let's give it up. The general should find someone else."
When Huang Zhong saw Guo Jia was about to leave, he grabbed him and asked, "Master Taiwei, is there really no other way?"
"To bring Yan Yan back, this is the only feasible strategy, and it is the most thorough and to the point."
Huang Zhong thought for a while and said: "Sir Taiwei, what have you agreed upon, what should Huang do?"
Guo Jia smiled, sat down, and slowly told Huang Zhong to listen. After hearing this, Huang Zhong kept nodding his head, and finally said: "Isn't it just a sacrifice of a little honor? I'll give it up!"
When the news reached Gao Fei, Gao Fei also sighed and said, "What a embarrassment for the old general."
For a general, being captured is a great shame and humiliation, so Guo Jia arranged to stage this scene. If it were suppressed directly in the form of an imperial edict, Huang Zhong would definitely feel that Gao Fei was an insult to him. But in another way,
To explain the truth, Huang Zhong is a well-informed and reasonable person, so he can naturally understand it.
"Fengxiao's good intentions are indeed troublesome. However, after this, the old general will not care so much about reputation. Fengxiao drafted an imperial edict for me, and when the old general Huang is successful, he will seal it
He was made Duke of Dingguo, his salary was doubled, and he was given hundreds of acres of fertile land."
Guo Jia cupped his fists and said, "I obey your order!"
(ps: Some book friends have objections to my writing that Guan Ping is Guan Yu’s eldest son. Let me explain it here. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Ping is Guan Yu’s adopted son, but in the official history, Guan Ping is indeed Guan Yu’s eldest son.
, Guan Xing is the second son of Guan Yu. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the old Luo generals Guan Xing and Zhang Bao co-wrote it. Anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that Zhang Bao was the eldest son of Zhang Fei, but he died young. The meaning of early death is very early.
At once
Died in infancy. The word "died in infancy" is generally used for children, which means that Zhang Bao died when he was still a child, let alone later in the war. Guan Xing did have records, but Guan Xing was also young.
Passed away, the Shu Han Dynasty died a few years after its establishment. The Guan Ping written in this book is based on official historical records, so he is no longer Guan Yu's adopted son, but the eldest son. Here, I specially explain it.)
