After the Jiangdong garrison general in Panyu led Kaicheng to surrender, he ordered the soldiers entering the city not to disturb the common people, nor to rob or extort the homes of powerful people or merchant caravans.
However, the Jiangdong government's previous hoarding will naturally be plundered.
Not only the grain and baggage in the arsenal and the palace, but also many luxury ornaments such as toy, coral, pearls, rhinoceros horn, ivory, bis and spices were prepared for sale to the Central Plains.
Originally Huo Yi didn't care about these items.
When marching and fighting, food, fodder and baggage are the most important thing.
Taking these things will only slow down the marching speed and make the soldiers more tired, so it is better to burn them.
But when I turned around and thought about it, it seemed that the Prime Minister had used the treasures from Nanzhong to reward the leaders of the Qianghu tribe in the northwest, and in exchange for many cattle, sheep and war horses, I felt that it was a pity to burn them all.
Simply, I picked some soft ones that were easy to carry and took them back.
The rest were used as rewards, half sold and half given to the local tycoons and merchants in exchange for grain and fodder, and then distributed to the common people, natives and barbarians, making the whole city happy.
Quan should be treated as a tribute to the Kang and Wu Kingdoms in order to gain the hearts of the Han people.
It has been three days since I finished all this.
The soldiers who had come all the way had recovered from the fatigue of the march. Huo Yi, as he had said before, "just passing through the border", led the army to transfer food and baggage, escorted the Wu army prisoners to the port to meet Wu Dang's tribe, and set sail to sea looking at Jiaozhi County.
go.
The strategic objectives of this trip have been achieved, and it is time to go back and besiege Lu Dai's tribe, and integrate the three western counties of Jiaozhou into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
As for Shibao, who stayed in Lingfang County, he had no need to worry.
Before leaving, he only asked Shibao to guard the city for half a month to contain the Wu army, Nie You and Liu Zuan. According to time calculation, he has now embarked on the road back to Xinggu County, and transferred to Ma Zhong
The team has reunited.
When Liu Zuan, who realized it later, arrived with his army, the Han army had already left for three days. Looking at the empty inventory in the city, he felt as if he were mourning for his heir.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, Lu Dai's tribe may be in danger; the war between Han and Wu in Jiaozhou will end with the loss of troops and territory in Jiangdong.
In other words, the Han army entering from Yulin County did not seem to have caused much damage to Jiangdong.
However, they only defeated the troops of Qian Bo, the western captain of Gaoliang, captured Panyu County's less than a thousand garrison troops, and swept away all the money, food and supplies of the two counties. How could it be said that it was a serious injury?
As he still has strength, he can gather the troops from the four eastern counties of Jiaozhou and sail out to sea to rush to Jiaozhi County to support Lu Dai's tribe!
Why be so pessimistic?
But Liu Zuan knew that he was powerless.
Without the grain stored in Nanhai County, even if he summoned troops and waited for the grain to be transferred from various places before sending out troops, I am afraid that the port in Jiaozhi County had long been occupied by the Han army, leaving them no chance to land on the beach.
It is also not feasible to find a secluded place to land from the long coastline of Jiaozhi County or the adjacent Jiuzhen County.
They had already lost the opportunity, and had to make allowances for the time it took to collect food and fodder and search for a landing place. Can Lu Dai's troops hold on until they arrive?
To take a step back, even if they arrived as scheduled, they would not be able to change the situation of the war.
Gai'in Jiaozhi County was previously a place divided by the Shi family for decades.
It was also the place where Lu Dai went on a killing spree and the Jiangdong government spared no effort to liquidate and suppress dissidents!
Those powerful rightists and barbarian tribes who had been suppressed for many years saw Lu Dai, who had a blood feud, step into the dangerous predicament of being attacked from the north and south by the Han army. How could they not collude with each other and rise up!
All counties in Jiaozhi will no longer belong to Jiangdong!
Perhaps Liu Zuan raised grain and fodder at this time and transferred warships from Hepu County with the intention of going to Jiaozhi for rescue. Maybe it turned into an eternal joke about "sending military exploits thousands of miles away".
Alas, let's just do our best and obey fate.
After carefully asking his generals and colleagues for their suggestions, Liu Zuan sighed in his heart.
Regardless of whether we can successfully support Lu Dai's tribe, we still have to have an attitude.
After carefully recording the battle situation here and sending it to Jingnan, he began to actively prepare for the deployment of the march, but he also sent several warships to Jiaozhi County to spy on the situation.
If Lu Dai still insisted, he would have no choice but to force the beach and land without hesitation.
We don't expect to change the situation of the war, but we must at least rescue Lu Dai and other generals and some of their soldiers.
And if Lu Dai's tribe was destroyed early, then he would guard the four eastern counties of Jiaozhou and wait for Sun Quan's disposal.
However, what he didn't know was that when Lingfang County was successfully attacked by the Han army and he and the messengers sent by Nie You rushed to Jiaozhi, Lu Dai knew that he was in danger.
Without him, it is due to the battlefield consciousness of the veteran generals.
Because people of later generations, such as Liu Zuan, have never experienced the process of Sun Ce and Sun Quan opening up territory and laying the foundation of Jiangdong, nor do they know the ambition of their generals to sacrifice their lives to serve the country when they started their business.
In other words, as the entrepreneurial veterans of the Wu Kingdom passed away one after another, there were very few generals in Jiangdong who sacrificed their lives to serve the country.
Therefore, they could not save others by themselves, and could not predict that after the Han army attacked the leading county, they dared to ignore the food road, leave no way for themselves to retreat, and risk their lives to win the war.
Therefore, Liu Zuan and others definitely did not expect that the Han army would attack Nanhai County.
Not to mention not knowing the first opportunity, he understood the strategic intention of the Han army this time, which was still to attack Jiaozhi County!
On the battlefield, only by living towards death can we usher in the favor of God; at the tactical level, only by putting ourselves to death and living again can we usher in the favor of the dawn of victory.
Very few people in Jiangdong understand this today.
Or people who understand are often unable to do this because of many worries.
In the past, Lu Dai, who bravely marched deep into Jiaozhi County with only 3,000 soldiers and wiped out the influence of the generals' families, was undoubtedly this kind of person. He was also decisive in killing. After receiving the report from the messenger, he deduced that Liu Zuan
After inevitably making a mistake, he prepared for a last ditch effort to see if there was any chance to turn the tide of the battle.
Instead, two arrangements were made.
First, the military governor was ordered to rush to the coastal ports so that the warships usually stationed in the water villages could go out to sea and rush to join the navy of Hepu and Nanhai counties to stop the Han army's attempt to cross the sea.
On the other hand, he changed his previous tactics of setting high bases and deep ditches and waiting for work, and the entire army went out to fight Ma Zhong's troops.
This is preparing for the worst.
If the small number of naval forces could not stop Huo Yi's troops from crossing the sea, he would have to defeat Ma Zhong's troops or injure both sides before he could enter the city and wait for rescue.
Yes, he wanted to let the heroes and barbarian tribes in the county know that the Wu army was still willing to fight to the death!
Still has the strength to level any powerful family!
The powerful rightists and barbarian tribes did not dare to bet their wealth and lives easily, so they turned to join the Han army.
