Chapter 1053 Thirteen fierce generals go to Jiangnan
The 50,000-strong navy in Jiangdong basically chose to surrender. What would happen if they didn’t surrender? The lord died, the chief governor committed suicide, the entire army was left without a command, morale was at a loss, and these ordinary soldiers were even beaten.
ah.
Of course, Sun Ce has not achieved nothing in his business over the years, and there are still some die-hards.
There are those who break through.
There are suicide chargers.
There are those who kill themselves.
But they are only a small number of people, and ordinary soldiers may not be willing to follow them.
After all, these soldiers are living people, not NPCs, and they all have their own thoughts. Without the monarch, there is no one to be loyal to. If there is no problem to eat, who will have the heart to fight.
"Give Zhou Yu a good burial." Wang Xuan told him and there was no need to worry about it.
Wang Xuan definitely doesn't need to worry about the recruitment, but he still needs to stay with Zhang Fei and others for two days.
As for the reason, without a large army standing by to deter them, it would not be so easy to incorporate them.
However, these 50,000 people can no longer stay on the ship and must be dispersed.
What's more, none of the navy generals were here. They only sent Jiang Qin and Ding Feng to come over, but Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and the others had more important things to do.
As for what is more important, of course, taking advantage of the absence of the Jiangdong Navy, Jiangdong will be in chaos. Jiangdong will definitely be in chaos after the news of Sun Ce's death is sent back.
Wang Xuan, on the other hand, would never allow chaos in Jiangdong. How could he expect Jiangdong to solve the current food crisis if it was already in chaos?
If you look at Jingzhou, you will know that originally Jingzhou was also a major grain-producing state. As a result, a war occurred this year. Even though it did not last very long, it still caused great losses to agricultural economic production. Although it was not as exaggerated as the loss of production,
But the grain yield is only half of normal.
This time Jiangdong organized to mobilize 100,000 troops and more than 300,000 civilians to march westward, which has already delayed agricultural production. If there is another period of civil strife, Wang Xuan's plan will be completely blind.
Therefore, Gan Ning's mission is very important, not to mention the fact that they have to guard against the Sun family's panic when they learn about Sun Ce's death.
Although Sun Ce is an open-minded and heroic man, his cute little brother is not a good person. This guy is the worst.
By the way, among Sun Jian's five sons, this little boy is the only one who has a very different personality from the others. Well, his appearance is also different. The change is so big that he looks like he met Lao Wang next door.
Could it be said that Sun Jian and Nash had the same experience?
If this is true, then Mrs. Wu's behavior is quite wild.
After Jiangdong's soldiers came down from the ship one after another and were taken into custody, Wang Xuan waited for Zhang Fei and others to return to Yueyang City. Naturally, Cui Yan of the Cui family came to take care of Wang Xuan and others.
He had also just learned that Wang Xuan had brought so many people to Yueyang. Wang Xuan had not told anyone before in order to keep it secret. It was too difficult to keep information secret in this era, especially since Yueyang City was still independent of the Cui family, so it was basically a sieve.
During the banquet, Cui Yan naturally thanked Wang Xuan and others, but Wang Xuan just listened to what he said. Cui Yan seemed to be resisting fiercely, but it was just for show.
Not resisting would be too disrespectful, and it would be difficult to explain to Liu Bei. Besides, as long as Sun Ce didn't resist too resolutely, there was nothing Sun Ce could do to the Cui family.
It didn't take too long to eat and drink. Although Zhang Fei and his gang only made one move today, in fact the most tiring thing was the rush. Take Tai Shici and Zhang Liao as an example. They rushed all the way from the grassland to Yueyang.
I'm exhausted.
Moreover, this time we can only repair it for two days at most, and we have to rush back after two days.
Zhang Fei and others are not really idle. For example, Tai Shici has been stationed in Liaodong to frighten a large number of grassland aliens including the Koreans. Xu Huang and Hua Xiong are stationed along the Yellow River at the junction of Cao Cao and Yanzhou.
This group of people all have important positions, especially at this juncture. This time, they just want to make a time difference and take the time to catch Sun Ce by surprise.
Neither father nor son, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, were suitable to be the leaders of one side. It was still too dangerous to charge the front line. Not only did both father and son die on the battlefield.
People like Liu Bei and Cao Cao are much safer. This does not mean that a dozen or twenty masters with the level of releasing Qi cannot attack and kill Cao Cao, but it means that this kind of thing cannot be done.
If you do this, wouldn’t the Cao Cao faction do the same?
Assassination politics is something that should never be played unless absolutely necessary. It is a kind of balance, and there is a price to pay for breaking this balance.
Then the world will really be in chaos.
Two days later, Zhang Fei and others fled, leaving only Zhao Yun, Wu Anguo, and Yang Ren to protect Wang Xuan, because Wang Xuan still had something to do.
The news of Sun Ce's death has almost spread by now. At least everyone in the Jiangdong clan should have heard about it, so the arrangements for persuading him to surrender can begin.
And only Wang Xuan personally took action to persuade people of the level of Jiangdong's four major families to surrender.
Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Others do not have that much power to decide on some preferential treatment conditions on the spot.
On the banks of the Xiangshui River, in Zhuzhou County, the four major families of Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Yu, as well as allied forces of small and medium-sized families, were stationed here, totaling fifty or sixty thousand people.
This place is not far from Yueyang. The news of Sun Ce's death in Yueyang City came here two days later, along with the news that Wang Xuan led thirteen fierce generals to the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as they received the news, the army
Stop immediately.
Although the leaders of the troops are not the heads of the four major families, they are still important figures in the families. At this moment, they are gathered together to discuss how to deal with the following issues.
"How should we respond? Should we continue to march?" The person who spoke was the person in charge of the Yu family, Yu Fan and Yu Ze's uncle Yu You.
The other three people all rolled their eyes when they heard this. Originally, the four major families were headed by the Zhu family. Even if Zhu Ran died, the Zhu family is still the strongest among the four families, but now...
The four major families know each other well. Who doesn't know that the Yu family has colluded with the north. Once Sun Ce and Zhou Yu die, the Sun family will inevitably fall. At least the north will not allow the Sun family to have a chance to make a comeback.
Now that Wang Xuan has brought people to Yueyang again, the Yu family is trembling.
It is impossible to fight, and it is impossible to fight again in this life. The front line is so dangerous, and they do not have the courage to not be afraid of being shattered to pieces.
The two armies fought and died in vain. If they had such courage, Sun Ce would not have unified Jiangdong so easily.
They really have money, food, and people, but they just don’t have the courage. In history, Boss Cao led his troops south, and all these guys were clamoring to surrender. Now facing Wang Xuan, who kills without blinking an eye, there is no resistance.
Got the courage.
Even if Xu and She were in agreement, they still had to coax Wang Xuan.
