Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 26 The Battle of Jiangbei (2) Sun Luban was captured and served as a maid?
Chapter 26 The Battle of Jiangbei (2) Sun Luban was captured and served as a maid?
Cao Shuang asked the soldiers to step forward and shout loudly: "People in the manor, listen, my lord has an order. If you surrender, hand over your master and madam, my lord will spare your life!"
So the previous scene happened, and the housekeeper hurried in to report.
Zhou Xun was also panicked and said: "How dare Cao Cao invade our Soochow? Is it possible that he wants to reignite the war between the two countries? Does he want to suffer Cao Cao's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Chibi again?"
None of the guests sitting down thought it was true, and they all knew in their hearts that Zhou Xun was just using his father's ancient achievements of burning Red Cliff to embolden himself.
All the guests invited to the banquet by Zhou Xun began to have their own plans in mind. If they couldn't do it, they would just surrender.
If Zhou Xun and his wife are sacrificed, they will avoid death and may even receive rewards. Anyway, Sun Luban usually treats guests like them quite harshly, and he is also cruel to his servants.
As long as the servants make the slightest mistake, they will be executed. As for Zhou Xun, he is a "harsh wife" and has nothing like Zhou Lang's former style.
The main reason was that Biyaner loved his wife Bu Lianshi too much. During her lifetime, due to the obstruction of a group of ministers, she was not able to grant her the title of queen or empress, so she was not granted the title of empress.
After her death, these ministers did not want to argue with a dead person, which offended Bi Yan'er, so Bi Yan'er granted Bu Lianshi the title of queen as he wished, setting a precedent for emperors to pursue concubines as queens. Later, Biyan'er transferred her love for Trainer Bu to the two daughters born to the Bu family, Sun Luban and Sun Luyu, giving Sun Luban the title of the eldest princess and being able to do whatever he wanted in Sun Wu territory. As a result, many people in Wu State dared not speak out against Sun Luban. Now, in such a critical moment, sacrificing Zhou Xun and his wife has become a good opportunity to survive.
While the guests were hesitating, Cao Shuang's soldiers had already opened the door of Zhou's manor, and most of Zhou's private soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
After all, these are weaklings who have not been tempered on the battlefield. It is okay for them to bully the people in the neighborhood. But facing a real warrior who has emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they can only defeat them in one battle. p>
Cao Shuang led his soldiers into the Zhou Manor. He did not show any respect to the late Zhou Gongjin, but strictly enforced military discipline and did not allow the soldiers to harm the people and maids in the manor. After all, they were all "oppressed" people.
In addition to not being allowed to touch people, part of the food in the manor is reserved for the common people for daily expenses, and the rest of the food, gold and silver properties are all packed away.
To cover the daily expenses of the army, in Cao Shuang's words, this is called taking the land of Wu, using the land of Wu, and using the grain and grass from the land of Wu to support the consumption of attacking the Wu army. This can also reduce some of the logistical pressure on the army.
Cao Shuang's generals had already acted quickly to control everyone in the manor. Cao Shuang did not go to the treasury to check first. He also knew that a wealthy gentleman like this would have plenty of food, gold and silver, weapons and armor without even looking.
, it stands to reason that there should be millions of assets.
He went directly to the manor hall. He had just heard from the soldiers that Zhou Xun and his wife and the invited guests were having a banquet today. No wonder he stormed in so easily, thinking that he had traveled half an hour in the afternoon.
I was also a little hungry, so I strode into the hall, picked up the wine and meat on the table, and started stuffing it into my stomach. After eating, I didn't forget to pack it up and bring some to Chief Yang and Deng Ai.
Zhou Xun, his wife and all the guests, who were already under the custody of Wei soldiers, could not stand it any longer, thinking about what the general would eat at this banquet.
It's really abominable that he even eats and takes food, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak out. After all, he and others are now prisoners of the Wei army. If he talks nonsense and offends Cao Cao, isn't he seeking death?
After Cao Shuang finished eating, he wiped the oil on his mouth and praised him: "Your chef cooks good food and makes good wine. Thank you for your hospitality!"
All the prisoners cursed secretly in their hearts, what is this called? This is called hypocrisy!
Sun Luban begged: "General, please let us go. If you have any request, you can make any request. You can ask for beautiful women, money, food, population, land, etc. My father loves me so much that he will definitely agree to it."
Your request!"
Cao Shuang smiled and said: "It turns out that she is the eldest princess with blue eyes. No wonder she is so elegant. But I think I, the Wei Dynasty, do not lack these.
Princess Sun Chang is still obediently staying with me. It just so happens that I still need a maid to serve as my servant, so I think Princess Sun Chang is quite suitable."
Hearing that Cao Shuang wanted her to be a messenger girl, Sun Luban's face changed drastically and he shouted hoarsely: "I don't want to be a messenger girl. If you do this, General, my father will definitely raise troops to attack Wei again. This will be done to both Wu and Wei."
The country is not in good shape!"
Cao Shuang said with great interest: "Oh, Sun Shiwan still wants to raise troops to attack Wei again? It just so happened that a few days ago, Wu's 30,000-strong army invaded.
He was repulsed by us and returned in defeat. If he comes again this time, he will have at least one hundred thousand troops. I will wait for him in Jiangbei!"
After Cao Shuang finished speaking, he slammed the long sword Yitian on his waist on the table. Although everyone was a descendant of Sun Wu's aristocracy, only a few knew Yitian Sword. Sun Luban was surprised and said: "Cao Cao's Yitian Sword, you
Could it be General Cao Shuang?"
Zhou Xun obviously saw what it was, so he hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "General, please spare my life! I am willing to sacrifice the princess and all my family assets, just to ask the general to let me go!"
Cao Shuang said with disdain: "It's not impossible to let you wait, but the war is in full swing now, so let's wait until the war is over!"
Cao Shuang said: "Come here, take them to the Shuxian jail for the time being and keep them under guard. The army will rest for half a day and continue on the road at night! The next stop is Jiashi, Shiting and Wancheng!"
After Cao Shuang said this, he asked the army accountant to count the money and grain in the Zhou family's treasury. After the gold, silver and jade items were tallied, they were transported to Shu County first, while the grain, grass and weapons were directly packed and brought for daily use by the army. p>
After that, Cao Shuang directly took the trophy "calling girl" Sun Luban, ignored her pleas, threw her on the horse and galloped away to Shu County.
After a stick of incense, Cao Shuang rode a big horse and swaggered into Shu County. After resting for a few hours, he left hundreds of defenders behind.
In the evening, we marched towards the hinterland of Lujiang County, intending to capture Jiashi, Shiting and Wancheng early tomorrow morning, and then continue to attack the city in Jiangbei.
Cao Shuang said with a smile: "The first battle led by Shi Zai to attack the city is complete. I, the general, did not misjudge you. You are a capable general.
We can't rest tonight. We have to travel all night to capture as much of the Wu area in Jiangbei as possible before Sun Wu reacts. Tomorrow there will be a heavier burden for you to carry. I wonder if you are willing?" p>
Deng Ai happily said: "General, General, I am willing to make meritorious service for our Wei Dynasty and kill the enemy chiefs!"
At night, Cao Shuang placed Sun Luban in the Zhou family's mansion in Shu County, and sent a hundred sergeants to guard it. The army continued to move south, while Cao Wei's other two armies were also marching day and night, and they expected to arrive at the designated battlefield early tomorrow morning...<
