Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76 Looting Counties According to Poyang

Catching Xu Sheng brought Zhang Yi a pleasant surprise. This is a talent delivered to his door!He wanted to persuade Xu Sheng to surrender. If Xu Sheng did not surrender, Zhang Yi decided to kill him and summon a general for himself.

"Are you willing to surrender?"

Xu Sheng is very conflicted!He doesn't want to surrender, surrendering is a stain, and once he surrenders, this shame will definitely follow him for the rest of his life.

But he doesn't want to die either!He just became an official, and he died before his ambition was fulfilled, he was not reconciled.Moreover, he was only in his 20s, and Sun Quan didn't have much kindness to him, so he couldn't do it if he was asked to die for Sun Quan.

Seeing that Xu Sheng remained silent, Zhang Yi knew that he didn't really want to die, so he said, "Don't worry, as long as you surrender, I won't let you fight Sun Quan, I will send you to Xiacai as a county lieutenant. "

After hearing this, Xu Sheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Successful wish!"

Zhang Yi was very satisfied. Xu Sheng surrendered, and he no longer needed to commit murder.So Zhang Yi sent someone to take Xu Sheng to Xia Cai, where he became Cai Wei.

Zhang Yi is now starting to consciously strengthen the defense of the north, because he doesn't know when Cao Cao will attack him, but it's always good to be prepared.

Zhang Yi ordered Fu Youde to guard Pengze and attack Yanyang, which is on the east side of Poyang Lake and southwest of Pengze. It is the only county on the east side of Poyang Lake besides Pengze.

There are Li Jun troops wandering in Poyang Lake. After Fu Youde took Shanyang, he didn't need too many troops to defend it.

Zhang Yi divided the division into two parts. Fan Lihua led 5000 people to attack Chaisang, and Zhang Yi himself led Li Jing, Wei Wentong, and Lei Xu to march into Nanchang.

Nanchang County is the seat of Yuzhang County, where Sun Ben resisted Liu Qing's attack from Changsha.Tai Shici's garrison in Haihun County was the first line of defense against Liu Qing.

Chaisang has always been an important place for military strategists. It guards the entrance of Poyang Lake, named Chaisangkou.Sun Quan also knew its importance, so he sent Xu Sheng to defend it.Because once occupied by the enemy, the entire Poyang Lake will become the enemy's pocket, and the counties around Poyang Lake can be attacked at will.

Among the counties in Yuzhang County, the area around Poyang Lake is the most fertile. Taking over Poyang Lake is equivalent to taking over part of Yuzhang's counties such as Shanyang, Chaisang, Liling, Nanchang, Haihun, Poyang, and Yuhan. It is the most essential place in Yuzhang.

Fu Youde attacked Shanyang, which was close to Poyang Lake, and the terrain was very low. Hundreds of years later, the city of Shanyang was even submerged by Poyang Lake.

It is relatively easy to attack such a city, because the terrain is low, and when the soldiers attack the city, they actually go downhill, and the speed is faster than usual.

And the ladder is pushed faster, which is a place that is easy to attack but difficult to defend.So Sun Ben didn't leave too many people to defend here. Fu Youde just pushed the ladder to the bottom of the city and attacked into the city.

Fan Lihua also attacked Chaisang very quickly. She directly led the water army and transported the soldiers outside Chaisang's city.

Because Fan Lihua knew how to use the navy, Zhang Yi gave her command of more than a dozen warships of the navy.

Fan Lihua will get off the warship and let the navy cruise on the river.Because Chaisang was close to the river, the water army was quickly discovered in the city, and his attention was attracted.

Fan Lihua took the opportunity to attack the city, and there were only more than 300 defenders in Chaisang, and some of them were attracted to the Linjiang side.So Fan Lihua also directly attacked the city, not even using the high-level ladders, and directly used the low-level ladders.

After occupying Chaisang, Fan Lihua immediately ordered the navy to build a water village at Chaisangkou, and then Fan Lihua left 1000 people to garrison Chaisang, and led the rest to attack Liling County to the southeast.

Liling County's defense was even weaker than that of Chaisang, with only more than 100 people defending it. Fan Lihua directly attacked the city with her troops, and entered the city in less than half an hour.

After taking Liling, Fan Lihua left 1000 men to garrison, and then took the remaining 3000 men directly back to Chaisang and began to organize defense.

Chaisang is bordered by Shaxian County in Jiangxia County. Huang Zu often sent people to Chaisang County to plunder. Zhang Yi sent Fan Lihua to Chaisang to defend against Huang Zu's attack.

Huang Zu was a general in Jingzhou, but his ability was not outstanding.He mainly took advantage of his family. The Huang family was a large family in Jingzhou. Zhang Yi suspected that Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhong, might both be from the Huang family.

Of course, this has not been verified, it is just Zhang Yi's guess.As for the basis for Zhang Yi's guess, of course the Huang family is a rich family, and Huang Chengyan is Liu Biao's brother-in-law who married the daughter of the Cai family. If Huang Chengyan was not from the Huang family, he would not be qualified to marry the daughter of the Cai family because of the wrong family background.

And where is Huang Zhong!There is also proof. In ancient times, it was said that the poor in literature and the rich in military affairs.Huang Zhong was very skilled in martial arts, otherwise he would not have been able to kill Xia Houyuan even in his seventies.If Huang Zhong was not from the Huang family, it would be difficult for Huang Zhong to develop good martial arts skills.Moreover, according to ancient books, Huang Zhong once got a red blood knife, and the way he got it should be bought, which shows that Huang Zhong's family is rich, and only people from the Huang family can better explain Huang Zhong's wealth.

Closer to home, Zhang Yi landed directly in Nanchang with more than 1 people, then marched into Nanchang with great fanfare, and then asked Li Jun to take Lei Xu to attack Poyang and Yuhan counties.

As soon as Zhang Yi landed, Sun Ben got the news.As the governor of a county, Sun Bi's sources of information are much better than those in the county.

When Cheng Pu was defeated and returned to Jiangdong, he sent a message to Sun Ben, asking Sun Ben to pay attention to Lujiang.Sun Ben has also been paying attention to the Lujiang River. When Fu Youde captured and stationed in Wan County, he got the news.

However, because most of his soldiers were in the Nanchang and Haihun areas, resisting Liu Qing's attack, he had no soldiers at all.

Sun Ben asked Sun Quan for help. If Sun Quan did not send troops, most of Yuzhang would be owned by Zhang Yi.This curse had already been planted when Sun Ben accepted Hua Xin's surrender.

During the period when Hua Xin ruled Yuzhang, there were not many defenders in Yuzhang. The whole county only had 2000 troops, and they were barely able to do normal defense. The reason why they were able to maintain it was because of Hua Xin's personal prestige.

This is the role of celebrities. Hua Xin insisted on relying on his reputation to manage Yuzhang County well.

Sun Ben brought thousands of people to take over Yuzhang County, but because of Liu Qing's attack, these people were stationed in Nanchang, Haihun, and Jiancheng. , Sun Ben replaced the original defenders in the counties with his own

Therefore, when Zhang Yi's men attacked the counties, they could sweep all the way without any effort.

However, not long after the envoy sent by Sun Ben left, Zhang Yi crossed the river and then attacked with lightning speed.

Seeing the enemy soldiers approaching the city, Sun Ben had no choice but to send someone to deliver a letter to Tai Shici.
