Wang Kuang looked at Wang Mi's army that had been completely encircled, and at his own army that was almost exhausted and demoralized by the roar of the camp, and understood that this war had completely lost its suspense.
The Jin court has always advocated only filial piety, but not loyalty to the imperial power.
As for being loyal to the Sima family, his family deserves it too!
Therefore, Wang Kuang took the initiative to send an envoy and shyly surrendered to Wang Mi.
Wang Mi did not hesitate and immediately sent his soldiers to report to Chu King Liu Cong who was climbing the Taihang Mountains on a detour.
When Liu Cong got the news, he was a little unbelievable. He counted the time. It had only been a few days. Although he knew that Wang Kuang's invasion of the army alone was no different from sending him away, but it was just an adjective. Could it be that the Langya Wang family couldn't stay in the Jin court, so they came here.
Sent?
Liu Cong didn't know. The only thing Liu Cong knew was to decisively switch from climbing the mountain to taking the main road and quickly arrived at Wang Mi's military camp.
Seeing that Wang Mi's army had packed up the Jin army prisoners and Wang Kuang of the Langya Wang clan, Liu Cong was extremely happy.
Liu Cong first verbally praised Wang Mi, and then directly wrote a memorial to Wang Mi and submitted it to him.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Cong took the flags of the two armies of Liu Kun and Wang Kuang, and even Wang Kuang himself to the Shangdang to persuade Pang Chun to surrender.
Compared with the troops sent by Liu Kun or the Jin army commanded by Wang Kuang, the real difficulty for the Jin army was how to break through Shangdang as quickly as possible.
After all, for a city that knew from the beginning that it would be attacked and had been preparing for a year, it would be very difficult for the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties to solve it.
Not to mention that Liu Tai used the attention of the elixir to drain the opponent and trapped the opponent.
This water channel trapped the opponent at first, but now it has become a very important barrier for Changzi City.
If there are people with high political and military abilities in the Changzi City, or even top city defenders, they can build a new line of defense based on this water channel, which can at least delay the Changzi City for a few months.
However, Liu Cong really didn't want to delay it any longer. After revealing the fact that he defeated Liu Kun and the Jin army, Shangdang was completely left alone. At this time, it purely depends on the choice of the local gentry.
, they are the masters of the place.
If the local nobles were interested in other dynasties, they might still hesitate, but their loyalty to the Jin court was really limited.
Wu Ming still wanted to hold on, but the local nobles were not happy, so Wu Ming was stabbed eight times in the back and committed suicide in the city.
The Shangdang family represented by Pang Chun chose to open the city gates to welcome the king, and Shangdang County and Huguan all surrendered.
After confirming the surrender of the Shangdang, Liu Cong was really looking bright and walking with ease.
In any case, with the surrender of Shangdang, the Han Dynasty won the strategic war between the Huns and the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.
The news was spread around. Liu Kun in Jinyang lost all the joy he had just finished cleaning up Liu Hu. He was locked in the room for a whole night before he came out of the room.
Although he did not grow old overnight, he seemed to have aged ten years. He looked at the Taihang Mountains in confusion. At this moment, he had a vague feeling that he would never be able to return to Luoyang, where he was once so high-spirited. "We won, we won, we fought...cough cough cough!" Liu Yuan received Liu Cong's report. Especially when Liu Cong sent Wang Kuang over, Liu Yuan's face was filled with endless ecstasy because he was so happy.
, at this moment Liu Yuan fainted directly!
"Imperial physician, imperial physician!" Liu He was also happy at first, but when he saw Liu Yuan fainting, he immediately called the imperial physician.
Fortunately, Liu Yuan was a little excited just because he was happy, and he soon woke up.
However, Liu Yuan's aging body inevitably cast a shadow over the Huns and Han who were delighted by the war.
As for Sima Yue, singing and dancing, wouldn't it mean that Wang Kuang's entire army was wiped out, and his dead soldiers would not even be considered by the noble family, let alone the Sima family. For Sima Yue, he only cares about politics. p>
Wang Kuang was a supporter of Sima Rui. He surrendered to the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties, which was a blow to the Wang family of Langya and an even bigger blow to Sima Rui.
Although it allowed the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties to grow a little bigger, it was not unacceptable to help them suppress Sima Rui.
Anyway, for the Machiavellian, as long as he can still hold the power, he can accept any deterioration of the situation. But for Sima Yue, the current situation is still very stable. Let me continue to mess around! However, because Liu Cong completely won this second battle of Changping, he had no intention of giving up.
Just like the Qin State wanted to touch Handan after winning the Battle of Changping, at this moment Liu Cong had Wang Mi on the left and Shi Le on the right, with the power of winning the second Battle of Changping.
Resolutely go south and want to hit Luoyang hard!
They fought against Cao Wu first. Cao Wu's army, like most of the Jin army, almost collapsed at first touch.
At this time, Sima Mo, King of Nanyang, sent Chunyu Ding and Lu Yi to resist. However, Liu Cong, whose morale was now strong, and the morale of the Xiongnu and Han troops he was carrying was extremely high. As long as these Jin troops dared to charge, Liu Cong would dare to
Kill.
It can be said that the morale of the entire army has been raised to the extreme, and it feels like it is running rampant in the world.
Cao Wu and Chunyu Ding were defeated and fled to Hongnong County one after another, either to discuss countermeasures or to find a place to take a breath.
At this moment, Yuan Yan, the prefect of Hongnong, was originally preparing to send troops to attack, but these two unlucky guys happened to come.
The two of them decisively faced Yuan Yan and said: "Liu Cong is brave and Wang Mi is brave. Their soldiers have won battles and their morale is even more incredible. The soldiers of Hongnong County cannot defeat them at all. Let's escape together. Escape."
Go to Luoyang!"
After hearing what the two said, Yuan Yan thought for a while and said, "They are both Huns and Han. I don't believe they all recognize each other. I think if there is a chance, just a little confusion will definitely make the puppets
The Han army suffered heavy losses!"
"What do you think?" Cao Wu heard this and asked Yuan Yan.
"We surrender!" Yuan Yan said firmly to the two of them.
After hearing this, Cao Wu and Chun Yuding couldn't help but look at each other and said quickly:
"Although the hypocrites may be powerful for a while, they are not as powerful as our country in Jin Dynasty.
When the armies of King Qin from all over the country gather together, the powerful families will certainly be able to inflict great suffering on the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms.
Why do you need to surrender at this time?"
To be honest, neither Cao Wu nor Chun Yuding had any righteous indignation because Yuan Yan said that he wanted to surrender to the Huns and Han.
Not to mention that the Jin court itself did not advocate that ministers from aristocratic families should be loyal to the Jin Dynasty, and even though they called themselves hypocrites, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom was actually holding up a sign with Chinese characters, and this character was more popular than the character Jin.
.
Therefore, in the eyes of Cao Wu and Chun Yuding, surrender at this time is not a question of loyalty or not, but a question of whether it is worth it.
And Yuan Yan said seriously, "The puppet Han attacked the city and captured the territory all the way, but there were countless people who surrendered in the hope of the wind. My surrender is not unexpected."
Cao Wu and Wu thought for a while, and couldn't help but think that even if someone from the Langya Wang family surrendered, what are we?
Yuan Yan continued, "The morale of the pseudo-Hans is at its peak, so I dare not confront them head-on."
Hearing this, Cao Wu Chunyu Dingggeng nodded repeatedly. It was not that the two of them were weak, but that the other party was simply too strong.
Yuan Yan continued: "The Xiongnu and the Han are two different ethnic groups after all. Wang Mi is willing to be his minion, but I don't believe that his soldiers know each other acquaintances with the Xiongnu soldiers.
As long as there is a commotion in the dark night, I am afraid they will start fighting!
Therefore, only by surrendering can I have a chance to get close to Liu Cong, and have a better chance of disrupting the enemy's forces and creating opportunities for surprise attacks."
Cao Wu and Chun Yuding looked at each other, but they vaguely felt that this was an opportunity, but they said, "Don't you dare to disobey me!"
Therefore, Liu Cong led the army to Yiyang City in Hongnong, and Yuan Yan decisively sent an envoy to express Yiyang's surrender.
Regarding this matter, Liu Cong, Wang Mishile and others were doubtful. After all, anyone would be suspicious of someone who surrendered.
Therefore, we did not enter Yiyang City, but decisively chose to station outside Yiyang City.
Yuan Yan had already sent people to collect good wine and meat in Yiyang City, as well as some beauties who were good at singing and dancing. As a result, the supply of wine and singing and dancing in Yiyang City was cut off.
And Yuan Yan even came to Liu Cong's camp in person and said, "I admire the King of Chu for his bravery. I specially sent him wine and meat to reward the army. I even arranged a performance by Mei Ji to relieve my fatigue. I also hope that the King of Chu will not delay me."
Please enjoy it as much as you like!"
Yuan Yan's attitude was very low, especially when he came to the military camp in person. Everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with Yuan Yan.
After all, there are not a few people like Yuan Yan who surrender voluntarily. At most, they are just better people.
And Liu Cong ended the Battle of Changping and then took advantage of the situation to fight all the way down, and the spirits of the soldiers were relatively tense.
Especially after such a big war, I originally planned to go to Yiyang to loot and let the soldiers vent their anger.
But since a large city like Yiyang surrendered, naturally it could not be looted according to the rules.
This made the soldiers somewhat complain.
After all, for the soldiers at the bottom, if they don’t plunder, they will have no income, and if they don’t plunder, they won’t be able to get rich.
Therefore, Liu Cong thought for a while and said to Yuan Yan: "I was just preparing to reward the soldiers, and the governor of Yuan came here. Why don't we stay together at night to enjoy the splendor of Yiyang's singing and dancing and see the bravery of my Han soldiers!" Yuan Yan came over and was ready, and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "I don't dare to ask for what Yan Gu wants!"
"Hahahaha!" Liu Cong laughed loudly when he heard this, and his smile was quite happy.
Soon, Liu Cong, Wang Mi and Shi Le's army, all under the auspices of Liu Cong, began to hold a fireworks show in the military camp.
Yuan Yan even thoughtfully sent girls from the female clan to provide entertainment for the soldiers, vent their energy, and further reduce their combat effectiveness.
Wang Mi said to Liu Tai at this moment, "Won't you join us in singing and dancing today?"
"Uncle, let's go. I can't drink, and I don't know how to sing and dance. It doesn't feel interesting. And my position is still that of a commander in another department. If I am missing in the army, it will not be much, and if I am more, it will not be much. I will still be with the soldiers.
It's better to rest early!" Liu Tai said.
Because the army took advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang, the rewards had not yet been distributed. This is why the soldiers were willing to take advantage of the situation and attack Luoyang, just to plunder.
"You, sometimes you are too harsh on yourself." Wang Mi shook his head, then pointed at Wang Zhang and said,
"When you return to Yecheng, you can find some yellow-flowered girls to give Tai'er a taste of women. If this continues, how will you get married in the future?"
"Brother, this matter has already been arranged, but Tai'er is only fourteen years old. Don't worry, don't worry!" Wang Zhang shook his head.
"It's up to you, it's up to you!" Wang Mi looked at Liu Tai and said, "Then your second uncle and I will go first!"
Liu Tai smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Liu Tai didn't go to the banquet because he didn't think Yuan Yan was pretending to surrender.
After all, he dared to pretend to surrender and come to the military camp alone, chatting and laughing with Liu Cong. You know, if he showed any flaws, he would be hacked to death by the army. Can anyone really have such a stable mentality? p>
It's just that in Liu Tai's simple understanding, unless the army is marching to perform tasks in the ice and snow, drinking is allowed to warm up before performing tasks, but under other circumstances soldiers are definitely not allowed to drink. p>
Looking at the momentum tonight, I am afraid that many of the lieutenant generals will be drunk, which is difficult for Liu Tai to accept.
So Liu Tai chose to stay and looked at his subordinates who were looking at the excitement of the main camp and said:
"I can't drink enough tonight, but I went to buy two portions of meat. I'm full of meat today.
After dinner, listen to me continue to talk about "Cao Cao fought fiercely in Xia Pi City, and Lu Bu died at Baimen Tower." After the talk, everyone goes to bed early."
After hearing Liu Tai's words, Liu Tai's generals and military historians didn't say much.
After all, there is meat to eat and stories to listen to. For the soldiers at the bottom, this is probably the highest enjoyment.
As for Mei Ji, since she is Mei Ji, how could big-headed soldiers like me have a chance!
Because Yuan Yan was fully prepared, and all the food and wine were provided, the bonfire party was lively and exciting. Liu Cong even sang a few Han Yuefu songs on a whim. The soldiers even made a fuss late in the singing and dancing to vent their anger before returning.
Camp and sleep.
As this level of energy passed, the Huns and Han troops naturally felt fatigue coming in waves. The entire Han army camp snored one after another, and every soldier slept like a dead pig.
At this time, Yuan Yan opened his eyes on his bed and saw that the soldiers in the entire camp were fast asleep, so he immediately woke up those cronies who had come to deliver things on their own.
These cronies woke up from a daze, and when they heard Yuan Yan's order, they all became smarter.
After all, it was impossible for Yuan Yan to tell them about the false surrender. Now that everything is ready, just let them take action.
For these soldiers, they were also dependent on Yuan Yan, so Yuan Yan gave the order and set fire to the camp everywhere.
Cao Wu and Chun Yuding, who had been lying in wait outside for a long time, were delighted to see this scene and said:
