Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In the early morning, the river is shrouded in mist, and a round of red sun rises at dawn, illuminating the vast expanse of blue waves through the mist.

Battleships shuttled through the waterway, and they emerged from the mist.The unique oars of the boats and the deep and powerful chant of the boatman resounded across the river.Under the guidance of the soldiers on the shore, the warship slowly approached the shore.

After the battleship approached, the densely packed soldiers on the deck walked to the shore in an orderly manner through the steps.Then, they looked up to look for the banners of their own troops. After a burst of noise and crowding, the soldiers returned to their respective teams.Under the leadership of the generals of the Han army, they went to their own camps.

As for the Yi Dao camp, the Han army that fought all night was still cleaning up the battlefield with strength. The infantry were dealing with the armor and weapons scattered on the wilderness, collecting the food and grass left by the Wu army, and treating the wounded of the Han army.

The cavalry scattered out on the vast Jianghan Plain, looking for the deserters of the Wu army.After gaining a little, they drove a string of captured Wu soldiers back to the camp, laughing and talking with everyone.

On the hill, Liu Chan stood on his horse and held his sword to watch all this, with a smile on his face.Breaking through the Jingmen Mountain camp, the Han soldiers set foot on the south of the Yangtze River, and the entire Jianghan Plain and Jingnan area could be swallowed by the Han in one go.

However, Liu Chan remembered that there was still a nail behind him that had not been removed, and asked, "How is the situation in Yiling City? Is Bu Zhi willing to surrender?"

Wu Ban, who was in charge of besieging Yiling City, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Bu Zhi did not want to surrender without Sun Quan's edict. He also said that if our army wants to capture the city, please send troops to attack it."

I don't know if Bu Zhi is loyal to Soochow, or because his eldest son was killed by Chen Dao, his bones are quite hard.No matter how the big man tried to persuade him to surrender, he was unwilling to leave the city.After the defeat of Quan Cong's subordinates this time, only Bu Zhi and his trilogy remained among the soldiers and horses of Soochow in the Yiling area.

Liu Chan asked Liao Li to enter the city to persuade Bu Zhi to surrender. Whether it was coercion, temptation, or coaxing, Bu Zhi still refused to surrender.But Bu Zhi was quite smart, and he didn't want to offend Liu Chan, so he warmly entertained Liao Li and other Han envoys and sent them out of the city.

"Order the three of you to lead three thousand soldiers and horses each, totaling nine thousand. Set off immediately to aid the Nanyang war, and return to the Jufu tent to obey orders." Liu Chan ordered
"Promise!" After saluting, the three of them turned around and went downhill, gathered their soldiers and horses, and headed towards Nanyang.

"No!" Wu Ban replied.

As soon as this remark came out, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and they couldn't help but look at Liu Chan and wait for his arrangement.

But this time Liu Chan was able to smash the tortoise shell, which has a great relationship with Ma Zhong's trek for thousands of miles to raid Jingnan;

It can be seen that Soochow attaches great importance to Yiling City. If the big man still sends troops like Lao Liu did before.Needless to say, the big Han would be basically blocked by Yiling City, and both land and water armies would be trapped in the narrow space of Yiling, Jingmen, and Huya, and the result would be defeat or retreat.

In this battle of Jingmen, the big Han beheaded 630 people and captured 460 soldiers of the Wu army.They seized 210 six collars of armor, [-] bows and crossbows, and more than [-] vehicles equipped with military assets such as cattle, horses, donkeys and mules.

Hearing this, everyone smiled happily, even Wang Ping, who rarely smiled, raised the corners of his mouth.

Sun Quan's title will change from King Wu of the Great Wei - His Majesty the Great Wu - King Wu of the Great Han.

"Read!"

According to the statistics, the big man captured a lot of money, and the backbone of Soochow was completely broken by the big man.If Soochow does not want to subjugate the country, it will basically become the dog of the big man.

Liu Chan frowned slightly, then relaxed it quickly, and said: "Now our army has entered Jingnan, and there is no Wu army to stop us, so why divide our troops to rescue Nanyang!"

While everyone was talking, a battle report from Jingbei area reached Liu Chan.

After laughing a few times, Liu Chan calmed down, held his horsewhip, and said: "The order is that all captured Wu soldiers should be treated well. If there are any wounded, they will be treated with medicine. If Jingzhou's native place can be distributed after the war, food and grass will be given to the soldiers. He returned to his hometown. As for the people from Yangzhou, they were resettled in the Jianghan area after the war, and they were given acres of land to cultivate on the spot.”

"Your Majesty, this is the situation of our army's prisoners of war. Please read it." Guan Xing said.

Therefore, when the Han Dynasty is about to unify Jingzhou, Liu Chan naturally has to consider the future governance. In order to restore the once prosperous area, it is a good way to let the captured soldiers of the Wu army live here.

Among them, Wang Ping sent his troops to the west to occupy the Xiaoting camp in Jiangbei and open up the connection with Liu Chan's army.Ma Zhong harassed Jingnan's abdomen again, and the entire Jingnan area was in danger.Under such circumstances, Lu Xun was forced by the situation and had no choice but to send troops to defeat Wang Ping first, and counterattack Liu Chan or Ma Zhong.

If Sun Quan can then be forced to hand over the families of these soldiers, the area will soon become prosperous again.

The Jingzhou mentioned by Pang Tong is not the seven counties of Jingzhou in a broad sense, but refers to the population decline in Nanyang, Nanjun, and Xiangyang, the core of Jingzhou.And if you look at Jingzhou in a broad sense, under the chaos of war in Jingnan area, a large number of people from Jingbei moved southward, and the population increased instead.

"The end is here!" The three responded.

With a horsewhip under his arm, Liu Chan flipped through the battle damage report recorded on the scarf by Guan Xing.

After reading this, Liu Chan couldn't help laughing out loud.It seemed that at this moment, the dissatisfaction with pinching his nose and promising Sun Quan to become emperor was released all at once.

The remaining Wu soldiers of nearly [-] people are the Wu Jun navy. After the war, they took the navy warships down the river and fled directly to the public security.

Liao Li took a step forward, and added: "My Majesty, the food and grass in Yiling City can still last for half a year. Perhaps this is the foundation for Bu Zhi to stick to."

The area north of the Yangtze River and hundreds of miles south of the middle of the river is the core area of ​​the Jianghan Plain, where hundreds of thousands of people live.However, after decades of wars in the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, this area has basically been reduced to no man's land.

"Where are Zhoutai, Li Qian, and Xiang Yu?" Liu Chan shouted.

After watching for a long while, Liu Chan raised the scarf in his hand towards the crowd, and said with a smile, "According to the figures reported by Qing, our army can be said to have completely wiped out the Wu army in this battle. More than [-] Wu soldiers were beheaded and captured. People, only the navy fled. There are countless supplies in the army, such as grain, grass, medicine, and armor."

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows slightly. When Chen Dao captured the Xiongfu's residence in Yiling City, he received 32 hu of rice, enough for an army of [-] for three months.I thought that there would be insufficient food and grass in Yiling City, but I didn't expect that after holding on for eight or nine months, there was still half a year's worth of food and grass in the city.

When Pang Tong persuaded Liu Bei to enter Yizhou, he once advised: "Jingzhou is desolate and ruined, and the characters are exhausted. There are Wusun in the east and Cao in the north. It is difficult to succeed if you have a full-fledged plan."

However, Lu Xun was defeated by Wang Ping, and the camp of Xiaoting was occupied by Liu Chan.In his panic, he fled to Jiangling through the mud.However, Quan Cong was unable to support himself with one arm, and was completely surrounded and wiped out here under the attack of the three armies of the Han Dynasty.

"Report to Your Majesty, report from Nanyang!" Yang Yi said as he presented the battle report.

Liu Chan sneered, and said: "Today, my great man dredges the south and the north, and the food from Bashu can flow down the river. The army marches on Jingchu. It doesn't matter whether the soldiers return to surrender or not. When their food is exhausted, they will naturally leave the city and surrender. The army Continue to besiege Yiling City and protect our army's retreat."

"promise!"

"Promise!" Yang Yi spread out the letter, with an uneasy face, and said, "Your Majesty, the letter says that the battle in Nanyang is urgent, and [-] soldiers from the rebellious Wei Dynasty have arrived at the front line. Man Chong led the army to break the Bowang camp. , Liao Hua, and Liu Yin retreated to defend Wancheng and Gua Lidu."

After the three of them left, Liao Lijin remonstrated, "Your Majesty, now that the Wei people are increasing their troops to go south, the Nanyang line of defense may be dangerous. Our army needs to advance quickly. We must not let the Wu people have a chance to rest."

"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded slightly, and ordered: "The whole army rests for three days, and the army will leave after three days."

After a pause, Liu Chan added: "Order the Minister to select a group of civil servants to go east as soon as possible, and Xiangzhou will be restored, and the counties still need officials to govern."

"promise!"

(That’s all for today, it’s gone tonight, let me have a rest)
