Chapter 617: Wang Dun's retreat


In the fourteenth year of Han Jian'an, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Zhang Zhao discussed the plan to build the capital in Hutou Mountain, the east of Exian County, Wen Fengming, and then built the fènghuáng platform, in the second year of Wei Huangchu, Sun Quan changed Exian County to Wuchang, built the capital here, and the state of Wu was formally established. \ The old palace of Wuchang Wuguo.

"Prime Minister" Jiangnan winter is wet and cold, Wang Dun is old, he can't stand the cold, the house is burning with a coal stove bought from Jiankang, warm as spring, but his old cold legs are still attacking, is lying on the soft couch, massaged by two delicate little maids knee, Wang Han is sitting on the side, sipping tea, but a eunuch is outside to probe and call.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Dun opened his eyes and looked slowly.

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from Yiling" "Oh Come In" Wang Dun sat up straight all of a sudden, with expectation in his eyes, after all, Yang Yan returned to Xiangyang in the north, not only Qian Feng was confirming, he was also confirming, combined with the situation in all aspects, it can be confirmed that Yang Yan is indeed unable to go south, and the person Wang Dun is afraid of is none other than Yang Yan, who is not eye-catching to Li Xiong, and is also full of confidence in defeating the Cheng army, he believes in Qian Feng's ability.

Wang Han said with a smile: "It must be a good news, if everything goes well, you can enjoy the flowers in Chengdu in the middle of next spring, hehe, I heard that the old palace of Chengdu, every spring is full of flowers, it is really a beautiful scenery in the world."

"Hmm" Wang Dun stroked his beard, in a happy mood, and smiled for the first time since he fled back to Wuchang.

The overflowing joy infected the eunuch, who entered the house with a smile and presented the letter.

"Oh, how is it not Shiyi" Wang Dun took it and noticed that the letter was not written by Qian Feng, but from Baling, and he was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, unhurriedly removed the seal, and then took it out to take a look, and was suddenly stunned, his hand slipped, and the letter fell to the ground.

"Dealing with the Middle" Wang Han's heart tightened, and when he picked up the letter and looked at it, he was also stunned After the 50,000 army was broken into an army, it was raided by the elite cavalry of the Ming army lurking dozens of miles away, caught off guard, and almost the whole army was wiped out, Qian Feng, Wei generals and more than 30,000 soldiers all surrendered to the Ming Kingdom "How could this be?"

"How can you be so Qian Shiyi, you mistook the prime minister, mistook my family" Wang Han roared in disbelief.

Yes, the annihilation of the 50,000 elite army essentially cut off Wang Dun's hope of entering Shu, so he could only sit in Wuchang and wait for the Ming army to attack.

"Punish the middle, punish the middle, all those rebels who rebel should be destroyed by all the doors, so as to set an example" Wang Han looked at Wang Dun with a hideous face.

"Hey" Wang Dun sighed heavily, his figure was a little rickety, and he waved his hand: "Tens of thousands of soldiers, involving hundreds of thousands of people, who can destroy it, not to mention that Qian Feng's family is on the Great Wall, how can he punish the Qian family, but punish others, how can people be convinced" "So how about that?"

Wang shouted anxiously.

Wang Dun did not speak, and looked out of the hall blankly.

Wang Han roared like a negative anger: "Since it is the end of the road, it is better to lower and pull down, forgive that vertical man who does not dare to kill you and me."

"Raising Up the Widow" Wang Dun was shouting left and right.

"No" The eunuch and the servant girl who accompanied him carefully helped Wang Dun up, and some people picked up the crane and put it on Wang Dun, not even daring to breathe, lest one of them be careless and anger Wang Dun, and be beheaded to vent his anger.

Fortunately, Wang Dun did not have a seizure, but his steps were a little staggering, and he stopped at the palace gate and looked outside.

"In the middle of the day, the weather is wet and cold" Wang Han followed, and as soon as he persuaded, Wang Dun interrupted: "Before the last moment, the widow will never give up, the widow just thought about it, Yang Yanzhi said that the northern Hu group to go south is not impossible, if it really comes to that moment, it is the opportunity for the widow to regroup, you can rest assured, the widow will not collapse, and can bear it." “ Wang Han pondered: "Yes, Yang Yanzhi is likely to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot, but with this nature, he will definitely be prepared, what can I do?"

Wang Dun said lightly: "Now that the Wuchang army does not exceed 50,000, the people's hearts are fluctuating, the morale is low, and the naval army is gone, what else do you think you can do?"

"This" Wang Han was speechless.

Yes, 50,000 troops in absolute terms of quantity, is not a small number, but Wuchang is not a strategic place, nothing more than the nearby river is affected by many sandbanks in the center of the river, wide and narrow, the narrowest point is only less than one and a half miles, the widest point is more than ten miles, in Wuchang there is a layout, can choke the middle reaches of the river, but this is the Ming army, what is the use The Ming army did not rely on the river for transportation At the same time, take a step back and say, taking advantage of Hu Cai's southward and northward attack, marching from Wuchang, the only direction that can be attacked is Jiangling, Yuzhou Huainan area, Jiangling is not to think about it, without the cooperation of the navy, it is impossible to conquer Jiangling, and Yuzhou Huainan belongs to the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom, dangerous and abnormal, and there is Yang Yanzheng Taishan Ge Hong garrison, there is almost no hope.

And when Hu rode south, he went north to attack the Ming Kingdom, which was equivalent to completely tearing his face, once Yang Yan survived, he would turn back and liquidate, he and Wang Dun belonged to the branch of Langya Wang's Wang Ji, although the heirs were not numerous, Wang Ying also died in the battle, but there was blood left, whether to fight, or to bear the consequences of extermination "Hey" Wang Han sighed, he agreed with Wang Dun's actions, at worst, he can also go back to Langya Township to retire, the family and bloodline can be passed on, with the heritage of the Gaomen family, there is really no need to do the battle of trapped beasts, and there is no opportunity to revitalize the gate valve in the future.

Wang Dun said: "The dispute between the widow and the king of Ming is to fight for the world, and there is no personal enmity, some things cannot be overdone, but watching the changes is not doing nothing, don't be robbed by Xi Gou" "I see" Wang Han nodded.

From Wang Dun's standpoint, he would rather descend to Yang Yan than to Sima Shao.

Along the way, he was extremely careful, and sent scouts to investigate the movement all the time, and nearly 9,000 troops slowly approached Padang.

As the name suggests, Badong is the county of Badong County, Liangzhou, in terms of strategic position, far inferior to Yufu, Yufu chokes Yufupu, that is, Baidi City under the pond pass, the significance of Badong is that you can go to Jiangzhou along the mountain gorge road, against the Yangtze River, so Yang Yan did not attack the belly of the fish, but directly copied the trail to force Badong, after all, the road into Sichuan is nominally where is the only way, but in fact it is not the case, the so-called impassable place, but only a few nodes are relatively narrow, buried zhàyào, exploding is.

In short, the danger of the mountains and rivers of Bashu has been artificially magnified, and there is no need to go around Yufu, because from Yufu to the south, it is still Padang.

Of course, there is a theoretical risk of being copied back if you don't take Yufu, but Yang Yan learned from the mouth of the pawn that Yufu Guancheng is very small, and there are more than 1,000 troops stationed Especially when the navy marches westward and blows up a large reef called Yundui in the center of the river under the White Emperor City, half of the danger of fish recovery will be removed, and the navy can directly attack the city from the water, most of which is the result of surrendering without a fight.

Hiding in the dense forest, Li Ban and Li Xiang were in a worried mood, not only worried about Qian Feng's future and going directly to Jiangzhou, but also afraid that Badong had been lost, and their team of nearly 10,000 people would become meaningless.

"It's coming" Just when his patience was gradually exhausted, a figure appeared from the depths of the dense forest, and Li Ban looked at it closely.

This is the scout who explored the way, rushed to the front, panting and arching his hand: "Prince Yu, Taifu, Qian Feng's thief led 30,000 troops, and he is persuading him to surrender under Badong City."

"Oh" Li Ban showed joy, this was obviously the best situation, but he still asked: "Can you start attacking the city" The scout said: "No, the last general is afraid of being noticed, so he doesn't dare to get too close, but he just looks at it from a distance, and Qian Feng's main force is about two or three miles away from the city." “ "Okay, wait" Li Ban nodded.

"Don't delay" Li Xiang was in the way.

"Why wait for the Jingxiang army to attack the city, and our army suddenly kills from the rear, but it depends on the battle, why appear too early" Li Xiang said: "The prince should not forget, the defenders of Padang are only thousands, and Qian Fengzu has 30,000, ten times more, if Badong opens the city and surrenders, it will not be a missed opportunity The old man also understands that attacking too early is not the best, but he has to guard against it."

Li Ban's expression froze.

Yes, knowing that his 50,000 troops were defeated, and only a few thousand defenders were besieged by Qian Feng with 30,000 people, how can he guarantee that the defenders will not surrender "That's it" Li Ban gritted his teeth: "Attack immediately, but don't make too much of a move" "No" The generals surrendered one after another, and then dispersed, quietly marching out of the forest with their soldiers.

Everyone understood that the later they were discovered by Jing Xiangjun, the greater the chance of success, so they all held their breath and walked cautiously, and after half an hour, they reached the edge of the dense forest. 。
