In the end, people who practice martial arts are different from scheming people, Xu Da is not as treacherous and suspicious as Sima Yi, relying on the courage of a warrior, he swept into the city and took Jiangling without blood.
Although the city was at its fingertips, it did not solve any difficulties for the Western Han Legion.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still blocked by hundreds of thousands of Eastern Han Dynasty troops within a radius of 100 miles from Dangyang County to Yicheng County, and the dilapidated Jiangling did not mean much to Xu Da and Zhu Wen, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang's army was completely annihilated, then they would immediately usher in Lu Bu's end.
Xu Da ordered the soldiers to rest and eat on the spot, and on the other hand, he summoned Zhu Wen and his subordinate generals and lieutenants to discuss countermeasures.
Marching all the way from Yicheng, the generals were already hungry, and they were sitting in a group at the moment, expressing their opinions while feasting.
Although Jiangling was taken, it was escaped by Liu Wei, a cunning man, and now Zhu Gongshang is trapped in Dangyang County.
What should I do?"
Xu Da picked up the flask and took a sip, taking the lead in asking.
"Since I didn't catch Liu Wei, then Jiangling should not stay for a long time, I will wait here to rest for half the night, and after dawn, I will follow the rear of Dangyang Bridge to kill Xue Li, and come to meet with Zhu Gong, maybe we can turn defeat into victory" Huang Fugang threw out his own opinion.
Xu Da shook his head and said: "According to the report of Tanma Fei, in the battle of Dangyang Bridge, Zhu Gong's command lost 40,000 soldiers and horses, including Wei Wentong, Zhang Dingbian, Yang Dayan, Han Sui and other four generals all died on the battlefield."
After getting the scout's report, Xu Da was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, so he concealed the information about the death of the four generals from the generals under his command, and took Jiangling at this moment, so he told the cruel truth and let the generals see the situation clearly.
"Why did Zhu Gong lead an army of 120,000 to attack Yang Zaixing's 20,000 people, not to mention the loss of 40,000 soldiers and horses, even Wei Wentong, Yang Dayan and other generals were killed" As soon as Xu Da's words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and all the generals and school clubs were shocked, and they were all dejected.
Xu Da stroked his beard and said: "Yes, who would have thought that a mere Yang Zaixing would have such an iron-blooded fighting spirit, but fortunately, Yang Zaixing also died on the battlefield, and almost all the troops were wiped out."
After listening to Xu Da's words, the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Da said again: "The fierce generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty are like clouds, and Ran Min is powerful in the north, claiming to be the invincible opponent of Hebei Yuwen Chengdu has been famous for a long time, and the fierce generals who died under his gilding and boring abound.
Guan Yun rode alone for thousands of miles, cut six generals in five passes, and slashed the majestic sea in one piece, which was powerful in the world.
Xue Li's three arrows shook Luoyang, killing Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Li Ru, and wounding Lu Bu several times."
After pouring a sip of wine, he continued: "The other Huo Quji, Yue Yun, Zhang Liao, Lu Junyi and others are also skilled in bows and horses, and their martial arts are outstanding; What's more, the strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty has surpassed our army, estimated at about 1340,000, and the soldiers are strong and brave, and they can't be hard-hit."
"Then what should I do, we can't just watch Zhu Gong trapped in the center, the arrows are exhausted, and the whole army is annihilated, if Zhu Gong's army is destroyed, we will also be unable to escape," a partial general called Deng Lin asked.
Huangfu Gang complained: "I knew that it would be useless to take Jiangling, so we shouldn't have marched towards Jiangling, but should have led our troops to kill Ben Yicheng, and attacked Zhu Gong before and after, maybe we would have defeated Yue Yun and broken through to Xiangyang." ” "That Yue Yun is the son of Yue Fei, who is better than the blue, and is known as the winning official in the Eastern Han Army, and is invincible in the whole army, even Yang Zaixing is not his opponent.
Who do you think can defeat him" Xu Da grabbed a handful of peanuts and asked rhetorically while eating.
Zhu Wen, who had not spoken, interjected: "Okay, don't quarrel with the afterthoughts, since we have entered Jiangling City, we should formulate countermeasures according to the current situation, instead of complaining to each other."
"Zhu Quanzhong has a good plan," Xu Da asked with a frown.
Zhu Wen cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "First, if you make a mistake, you will be wrong, follow Jiangling all the way to the south, cross the Yangtze River and attack Wuling, Changsha, Lingling and other places.
The armies of the Eastern Han Dynasty are concentrated in Zhangwu, Hebei, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Wancheng, Jinling and other places, and the counties of Jingnan are empty, as long as my 30,000 troops can cross the Yangtze River, they can turn him upside down.
Everywhere they went, all the cities were slaughtered, the people were killed, and the houses were burned, so that the Eastern Han army would inevitably follow and pursue, and the siege of Dangyang would be solved."
"Zhu Quanzhong's plan can be risked, but he will lose the hearts of the people by killing the people indiscriminately" Xu Da frowned and groaned, not daring to agree, "Attacking Jingnan is a good strategy, but slaughtering the people must not be done" Zhu Wen sneered: "This is the worst plan I have made, and in the absence of any way, I can only use this strategy to force the Eastern Han army to chase after me."
Compared to their lives, the people's hearts are a fart" Huang Fugang questioned: "If the more than 100,000 troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty abandoned Zhu Gong and chased us all the way to Jingnan.
When the siege of Yang is solved, do we have to put on wings and escape, or General Zhu plans to sacrifice himself and be caught by the Han army and executed by Ling Chi?"
"Stupid" Zhu Wen smiled disdainfully, "There are so many roads in this world, do we have to go back, we can follow Lingling to the south into Yunnan, and then turn around and go north into Yizhou, and meet Zhu Di, Liu Yu, Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers and horses."
You can even go all the way south into Jiaozhou, stab him upside down, raise the war with war, grab the ship after entering Jiaozhou, and sail north along the sea to Luoyang. ” Zhu Wen's brain hole was so big that he directly stunned the soldiers, and they listened to Zhu Wen talking there speechlessly.
Xu Da took another sip of wine and asked, "What about the second strategy?"
Zhu Wen looked proud: "I will repair the wall of Jiangling, send someone to pick up my brother, and defend the city to the death, like a nail inserted into the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Then send people to urge Liu Jian and Yang Jian to forcibly recruit soldiers out of Hanzhong to attack Xiangyang, as long as we stay in Jiangling for one more day, it will make Liu Wei like a fish in his throat.
You can also send people to contact Cao Cao and Li Shimin to jointly fight against Liu Wei, as long as all the troops and horses are dispatched, we have the hope of turning defeat into victory. ” "Duke Zhu is besieged, Yang Su and General Huangfu Song are fighting Yue Fei in Wancheng, even if the imperial court can collect soldiers and horses from Luoyang and Chang'an, who can take command of the expedition" Deng Lin asked with a pessimistic face.
Xu Da took over and said: "Don't worry about this, Zhu Jun, Zhou Yafu and others can command the troops and horses, and even Liu Yan, the king of the wind can command the troops."
Now the key question is how to let Zhu Gong come to Jiangling from the siege of Dangyang County to join us Secondly, the Jiangling granary is empty, and the dry food we carry with us can only support half a month, even if we can take Zhu Gong into Jiangling, there is no grain and grass, how long can we hold out, wait until the reinforcements arrive" Zhu Wen twisted his beard and said: "In such a big place as Changbanpo, I don't believe that there is no path, and I will send someone to arrest the hunters, woodcutters, and even all the elderly people in Jiangling City later, and torture them, and they will definitely get something."
"How to solve the problem of food," Xu Da asked again.
Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Aren't there people in Jiangling City, there are at least about 50,000 people in the huge city, Liu Wei thought that the grain was removed, so he gave us an empty city."
"You mean to rob the people," Xu Da frowned even more.
Zhu Wen patted the case and said: "If I don't stop looting, I will take the people of Jiangling as hostages, and force Liu Wei to exchange for grain, ten stones of grain for one person, and 50,000 people at least 500,000 stones of grain in exchange, otherwise, I will kill him 100 people a day."
"Zhu Quanzhong, why do you always fight the people's ideas, after all, we are in the name of the imperial court, how can we do whatever we want like bandits" Xu Da asked rhetorically with a look of displeasure.
Zhu Wen snorted coldly: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, life and death, what morality is the king or defeated, as long as I can survive, I will use any method to be a real villain, and if I don't be a ghost under the knife, if General Xu Tiande has another second plan, I Zhu Wen will listen to me." ” Xu Da really couldn't come up with a better idea for a while, so he could only sigh: "Then try it first according to your first plan" "Wrong, you should be prepared with both hands," Zhu Wen said, Huo Ran got up, "Please General Xu immediately send someone to inform my brother, and ask him to camp on the spot."
At the same time, scouts were sent south to spy on Wuling's movements and Liu Wei's whereabouts, to see if the plan to abandon Jiangling, cross the Yangtze River, and sweep Jingnan could be implemented."
"I'll send someone to do it, where is Quan Zhong going, you can't harm the people" Xu Da told Zhu Wen with a solemn face, "After all, we are the imperial army, not bandits, I Xu Da can die, but I must not be a scum who has been stinking for thousands of years" Zhu Wen sneered: "Although Xu Tiande is relieved, I will not mess around until the point of last resort."

I'm going to take people to repair the castle wall overnight, looking for hunters, woodcutters, and other people who have been traveling through the mountains and forests all year round, and I'm going to interrogate them to see if I can find a secret way from Nagasaka Slope to Gangneung Castle."
"Don't come nonsense" Xu Da repeatedly advised, went out to spy on Jingnan's intelligence, and contacted Zhu Yuanzhang.
And Zhu Wen brought his henchmen and generals to order 5,000 elite soldiers to smash the door from house to house, but all the food was looted.
The women were all arrested and concentrated in one area, preparing to be used as hostages to extort food from Liu Wei in the future.
All men over the age of fourteen went to the foot of the city wall to repair the city wall, forge the city gate, dig deep moats, prepare for a protracted war, and plan to make a nail household in Gangneung.
With Zhu Wen's order, Jiangling City was in chaos. 10,000 soldiers climbed the city wall to defend it, 15,000 soldiers carried torches and repaired the city wall overnight, and the other 5,000 went from house to house to arrest people and search for food.
For a time, the people in Gangneung City shouted that horses were neighing, chickens were flying and dogs were jumping, and they took the opportunity to commit adultery, and there were not a few people who raped women.
Xu Da was furious when he saw this, and personally led the team to kill more than a dozen people, only to stop this evil spirit. provoked Zhu Wen to be very dissatisfied, and laughed behind his back: "It's really stupid, I only know how to use the right soldiers and don't know how to use the evil soldiers, at this time, if you don't give the soldiers any benefits, who is willing to give you your life to become a king and defeat a villain, winning is the king's way, and losing is worthless." t1706231537:
