At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

And as time went by, when the Wei army became stronger and more organized, its opponents were still walking in place, and its sweeping the world became simpler and easier.

Its prestige has also become higher and higher, and it has become more and more frightening to the enemy.

When facing it, the enemy will actively fear, waver actively, want to retreat, and dare not compete with it.

Jingzhou, with [-] armored troops, was forced to give up resistance in this way, and surrendered into the system.

But when they turned into Wei Jun, under the coercion of the general environment, they would instead display super fighting power, go forward indomitably, and behave better than Wei Jun.

Therefore, when the new army reorganized from the original Jingzhou army under the banner of the Wei army crossed the south of the Yangtze River, facing their own people, they displayed 120% of their combat effectiveness and fighting momentum.

The four Jingnan counties themselves had no will to resist. When Liu Cong surrendered, they followed suit.

The new army swept across the four counties in Jingnan. In a sense, the battle must be won and the attack must be conquered. This has brought them strong confidence.

Then they met a real opponent.

In this era, there were a large number of barbarians in the four counties of Jingnan, and the number could even be compared with the local Han household registration.

Wulingman fell into decline under Liu Biao's attack before, but it was not eliminated.

Now the four counties in Jingnan are in chaos, and the barbarians in the four counties have become active again, wanting to take advantage of the fire to plunder, plunder the prefectures and counties, and take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.

As a result, this time, the barbarians from the four counties hit the iron plate.

Under the leadership of the Jingzhou generals, under the banner of the Wei army, as if they had an undefeated golden body, the new army fought bravely and fought hard, and dealt a severe blow to the barbarians in the four counties of Jingnan.

These Jingzhou soldiers who had been soft and powerless in the past turned out to be powerful. Their fighting style swept away the decline of the past and became quite sharp and aggressive, and their organization was also greatly improved.

Facing the Jingzhou soldiers who were well equipped and trained a lot, the barbarians from the four counties fell ill.

They have strong individual combat effectiveness, but on the battlefield, organization is the most important.

During the ten-month period, the new army fought nineteen battles with the barbarians from the four counties. The new army maintained a record of complete victory, beheading more than 3000 people and capturing nearly [-] barbarian households.

These are just barbarians, not counting the Shanyue Group who tried to take advantage of the fire.

Shanyue thieves are also distributed in the four counties of Jingnan. When the barbarians took advantage of the fire to loot, the Shanyue Group also took advantage of the fire to rob. Groups went down the mountain to rob the county town, trying to make a fortune by taking advantage of the flames of war.

Under the request of Le Jin and Guo Jia, the Jingzhou new army never flinched, maintaining the momentum of exterminating the barbarians and Shanyue bandits, and dispatched new troops in large numbers.

Chapter 816 820 Wule Jinping Jingnan

According to Le Jin and Guo Jia's countermeasures, wherever there are thieves, send troops to crusade.

Because of the resolute crusade and confrontation, the barbarians and Shanyue bandits suffered unprecedented heavy blows.

Also because of this unprecedented and fierce campaign of extermination, the Wei army gained the trust of the Han households whose interests had been violated in the four counties of Jingnan.

They are willing to provide information to Wei Jun, and lead the way for Wei Jun, point out the road, so that Wei Jun can use the small road to make surprise attacks on the Shanyue bandits and barbarians.

There are even mountain hunters who are willing to use them as bait to lure barbarians or mountain thieves to take the initiative to attack, helping the Wei army to fight ambushes and eliminate barbarians and thieves.

This campaign of extermination lasted from the middle and late September of the first year of Yande to the first ten days of November.

In more than a month and a half, the new army reorganized from the Jingzhou soldiers beat the barbarians of the four counties and Shanyue of the four counties in the four counties of Jingnan to the point of collapse.

The barbarians and Shanyue thieves were chased and beaten, and the new army chased the thieves all over the mountains and plains, and there was not a day when they were not fighting.

Fighting at such a high frequency, the new army destroyed more than 200 of their strongholds, captured countless of their family members, achieved a record of complete victory, and defeated the barbarians and Shanyue bandits in the four counties of Jingnan in one fell swoop.

Huang Zhong and Wenpin and other new generals who joined the Wei army were even more exhausted in order to show themselves, leading the army to chase and kill the barbarians on the rugged mountain roads.

They are very good at defeating the barbarians on the flat ground, and when the barbarians were unable to defeat the Wei army and fled into the jungle, Le Jin ordered a large number of thunderbolts to be transported from the north, and used the power of gunpowder to drive the barbarians out of the dense forest. out of fear.

If it doesn't come out like this, then set fire to the mountain and do whatever it takes.

For these uneducated barbarians, Le Jin's methods were very cruel and merciless.

He moved all the Han people living near the mountains and forests away, and he did not hesitate to burn everything with violent mountain fires, and he also wanted to destroy all the hiding places of the barbarians and mountain vietnamese bandits.

By the way, the surrounding undeveloped primitive forest was completely burned, and it was all reclaimed.

Countless barbarians and Shanyue thieves suffered a catastrophe.

With such cruel methods, Le Jin broke the minds of countless barbarians and Shanyue bandits at the beginning of winter.

The barbarians and Shanyue bandits came out of the forest in groups, crying and begging for mercy.

With the lives of countless barbarians and Shanyue thieves, Le Jin built his reputation in the Jingnan area and his long-awaited military exploits. He completely quelled the rebellion that Jingnan suppressed repeatedly but would still repeat.

The barbarians and Shanyue bandit groups in the four counties of Jingnan were hit hard, and they were devastated and no longer a disaster.

Through this battle, Le Jin laid a solid foundation for the Wei regime to rule and develop the four Jingnan counties smoothly.

The Jingzhou generals and soldiers did not expect that they did not fight a bloody battle with the Wei army, but fought a tragic bloody battle with the barbarians and Shanyue in the four counties of Jingnan.

They also paid a lot of casualties for this.

Both Huang Zhong and Wen Pin were wounded in the battle. After the battle, they looked at themselves and the soldiers who were wounded, and couldn't help feeling absurdly déjà vu.

However, their achievements are real. The barbarians and Shanyue bandits in the four counties of Jingnan were wiped out in large numbers, and the local security has been greatly improved.

Not only that, but also won the hearts of the local people, quickly appease the emotions of the local Han households, so that they accepted the rule of the Wei Empire smoothly, and were willing to pay taxes to the Wei government, which had made a difference in suppressing bandits.

In fact, Le Jin didn't have such noble sentiments. He just didn't get enough gains in the battle of Jingzhou. He felt that he hadn't made great contributions, and his credit was not worthy of his status, so he seized an opportunity and fought to the end.

However, his persistence and determination were not possessed by the Han generals who had previously crusaded against the local barbarians. The local barbarians and thieves were not used to Le Jin's cruel and planned fighting style, and he suffered a crushing defeat.

Le Jin's fight against the barbarians from the four counties in Southern Jing and the bandits from Shanyue added enough gains for him to make the big rock in his heart fall steadily, otherwise, he would be really uneasy.

After the establishment of the new military system of the Wei Empire, Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Zhao Yun were appraised as the five generals of the Wei Army, because they were each in charge of a front army of the Wei Army.

Among them, Cao Ren played a single role early on, Zhao Yun made great contributions in the Battle of Kansai, Zhang Liao and Yu Jin played a single role in the southeast battlefield, and all four of them have sufficient military exploits and qualifications.

Only Le Jin, despite his seniority, lacked convincing military exploits.

In the early battles of the Wei army, Guo Peng personally commanded the troops. It was not until after the Battle of Hanzhong that Guo Peng gradually retreated from the front-line leader group to the second-line, and gradually transformed into the overall controller and supreme ruler, instead of focusing on leading the army.

So during that period, the generals of the Wei army began to take charge of their own affairs, competing for the position in the front-line leading group.

Among them, Le Jin, who was relatively old, was at a disadvantage. As a result, before the establishment of the Wei Empire, Zhang Liao and Yu Jin both received great credit, but he did not.

So he was anxious, but Guo Peng also saw his anxiety and gave him a chance to show his ability.

He managed it carefully, thinking of fighting a big victory to establish his position, but the Jingzhou people didn't want to fight at all and surrendered directly.

This is due to Guo Peng's prestige and the national power of the Wei Empire, not his combat effectiveness, Le Wenqian, Le Wenqian is anxious.

Fortunately, the barbarians from the four counties and the Shanyue thieves took advantage of the fire to loot and wanted to plunder and go back to spend the winter. This brought Le Jin an excellent opportunity to show off his abilities.

This group of people can be regarded as unlucky, they happened to hit Le Jin's muzzle, if they don't hit them, who will they hit?

Tens of thousands of barbarians and Shanyue thieves were killed, and the Wei government's control over the four counties in Jingnan was greatly improved. Le Jin made great contributions, and he was in a good mood. He felt quite proud of being in Jiangling.

At the same time, Zhu Ling, who was sitting in Yiling, also started his own actions.

Shu general Wu Ban led his troops to station in Quren County to wait and see the situation, but as soon as he waited and watched, he saw the fall of Chu State.

And before he learned of the fall of Chu, he was blocked by the army led by Gan Ning, so he had no way of knowing. By the time he learned of it, the flag of Wei had already been hung on Yiling City.

And it's not just Yiling City. After Zhu Ling took over the defense of Yiling as General Pingnan, he took over the defense of Zigui County.

Zhu Ling ordered Gan Ning to lead [-] troops to build a military base in Zigui County, laying the foundation for the further advancement of the army, and gradually enhancing the ability of the Wei army to continue fighting.

In this way, it was hopeless for Wu Ban, who was stationed in Quren County to wait and see the situation.

He hasn't figured out the situation yet, Wei Jun has already extended his tentacles to him. It is obvious that Chu State is finished, Jingzhou has been occupied by Wei Jun, and only their clan named Liu is still resisting in the whole world.

what is this?

It was the despair of despair, and his mind went blank.

After finally reacting, Wu Ban hurriedly wrote to Wu Yi, asking Wu Yi to think of a way to deal with it quickly, and think about what to do next.

The whole world has been basically owned by Wei State. If it is not yet belonged to Wei State, only Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and a corner of Liaodong far in the northeast, the one that Guo Peng set aside to appease the Gongsun family occupies about half of the land. Pingzhou in Youzhou.

But Jiaozhou is basically a barren land, don't even think about being able to resist the Wei army, and it is considered a backbone if you don't surrender directly.

The Gongsun family in Liaodong is far away from Yizhou. It is unimaginable to talk about support.

No matter how Gongsun Du can fight, can he still directly penetrate the entire Wei State and fight from the northeast to the southwest to join Liu Zhang?

So right now, for Yizhou, it is fighting alone, without helpers, all the warlords have been destroyed, and only the Yizhou family is left.

Wu Ban suddenly had a sense of déjà vu towards Guo Peng as if King Qin swept the world.

Is this the grand unification?

Is this the general trend of the world?

This overwhelming, irreparable sense of despair...

Obviously, Wu Ban has already experienced it.

That kind of feeling that the mountain and rain are about to come and the wind is full of the building, that kind of confusion and hesitation before the country is destroyed.

Can Yizhou alone really resist the attack of the entire Wei State?

Not to mention Wu Ban, Wu Yi was equally confused.

Chapter 817. 820 The unity of the six majors is orthodox!

In October of the first year of Wei Yande, which was also October of the first year of Shu Han Zhengtong, Wu Yi learned that the resistance in Jingzhou had ended, Liu Cong surrendered to Guo Peng, and Wei Guo occupied Jingzhou.

Wei's [-] troops attacked Jingzhou in three ways, and the Jingzhou army also had nearly [-] troops to resist.

But except for Huang Zu in Jiangxia County who tried his best to resist, no army resisted the Wei army, and the Jingzhou army almost surrendered to the Wei army as a whole.

The powerful Wei army occupied Jingzhou without any losses. All the materials and military forces in Jingzhou belonged to the Wei army. The Jingzhou ruling group collectively fell to the Wei state. .

After learning about this, Wu Yi was also stunned, his mind went blank.

If Wu Yi is like this, let alone Liu Zhang and other Yizhou native officials.

A considerable number of Yizhou officials cried when they met each other, as if they were mourning their wives, and they almost hugged each other and cried together.

Although they didn't dare to say it clearly, a few people began to write to Liu Zhang to ask Liu Zhang to see the situation clearly, give up the emperor's title, and surrender to Guo Peng, so as to avoid disasters and avoid repeating the mistakes of Sun Quan.

They said that Sun Quan resisted to the end and was exterminated, and Liu Zong obediently surrendered and was granted the title of Marquis of Yi. At this moment, isn't the road ahead of Liu Zhang not clear enough?

Of course, not all local factions are capitulators, and there are also officials who are loyal to Liu Zhang and do not want Liu Zhang to give up resistance.

Liu Zhang is different from Liu Yan. Liu Yan killed many Yizhou tyrants in order to gain a firm foothold, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Yizhou people.

After Liu Zhang came to the throne, in order to balance the power between Dongzhou people and Yizhou people, he promoted a group of Yizhou local officials. They still felt grateful to Liu Zhang and wanted to do something for him.

For example, Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun appointed by Liu Zhang, Zhang Su, the prefect of Guanghan, Huang Quan, Liu Zhang's chief bookkeeper, and Zhang Ren and Wang Lei, who were appointed by Yizhou.

As Liu Zhang's old officials, these officials promoted by Liu Zhang had a duty of loyalty to Liu Zhang, the mansion master. Natural rules and morals bound them, and they made the decision to resist resolutely.

This is where Liu Zhang has the advantage of being in power longer than Liu Cong. He can cultivate more old officials, and now that he is the emperor and has become the double monarch of this group of people, then these people must fight for the benefit of Liu Zhang. Fight hard, otherwise you will be disqualified in the world.

So when a group of local officials tested Liu Zhang and tried to get him to give up resistance, these Yizhou officials stood on the opposite side of their colleagues and had a heated debate with the surrender faction.

They said that Liu Zhang was the last descendant of the Han family and the last guardian of the Han family who bears the name of Emperor Han. If Liu Zhang took the initiative to surrender to Guo Peng at the emperor's title, wouldn't it be absurd?

As officials of the great Han Dynasty, the members of the surrender faction actually wanted to persuade the emperor to abdicate, surrender to the enemy, and give up protecting the Han Dynasty. Can this be called a Han minister?

A group of rebels!Traitor!

The officials of the main surrender faction were furious, accusing the main combat faction of being militaristic and short-sighted, and wanting to destroy millions of lives in Yizhou for their own selfishness.

There was a fierce confrontation between the two sides, and no one was willing to take a step back.

Intense fear also swept Liu Zhang's heart.

Liu Zhang is naturally not a hero, but he can sit in this position and sit firmly. Of course, Liu Zhang is not the second generation ancestor who can't see through.

He knew very well that his foundation was not as secure as he had imagined, and facing Guo Wei's irreversible trend of dominating the world, his resistance was almost futile.

It is debatable whether to give up the emperor title and surrender to Guo Peng.

Whether to resist to the end and be slaughtered like Sun Quan, or to learn from Liu Cong and go to Luoyang to be a Marquis of Guiyi, and to be a comfortable and idle prince to spend the rest of his life in peace. These two choices are placed in front of Liu Zhang, which makes him feel quite Difficult.

At the same time, violent disagreements broke out within the Dongzhou faction. A considerable number of people strongly demanded to end the resistance, surrender to Guo Peng, follow the general trend, and seek a way out.
