Chapter 259
Chapter 259
Gan Ning and Zhang Nan, leading 200 warships and 10,000 troops, after arriving in Yuzhang, did not rush to attack the city, but let the soldiers beat the war drums to the heavens, and at the same time shouted loudly to kill.
Yuzhang is almost an empty city, but Wuhoufu is here, and almost all the important officials in Jiangdong are here, if it is pressed, those guards, government soldiers and people in the city are desperately holding on, and it is not easy to take it. Moreover, the purpose of their trip was to intimidate Sun Quan and force him to withdraw his troops, not to occupy Yuzhang.
Zhou Yu can abandon Chaisang, but he will never give up Yuzhang, so even if he occupies, he can't keep it.
Sure enough, under the pressure of this power, Sun Quan and Jiangdong officials did not dare to risk death and chose to evacuate Yuzhang.
When Zhang Nan and Gan Ning led the army to the outside of Yuzhang City, the city gate was wide open, and there were no soldiers at the head of the city. Without generals and officials, who would have stayed at the head of the city and sent them to death?"
"Wen Jin, after entering the city, take all the belongings of Wuhou's mansion, officials, and the families of those families who fled!" Gan Ning ordered Zhang Nan.
"General, is this appropriate?" Zhang Nan hesitated, "The Lord ordered no robbery!"
"Ha..." Gan Ning burst out laughing, "Our Han army has nothing to do against the people, nor does it kill prisoners indiscriminately, but now Sun Quan and those officials have run away, if these belongings are not taken away, the people in the city will be robbed, and there will inevitably be armed fights, resulting in casualties, which the Lord does not want to see." So, in order to protect the people, we must take those belongings away!" Gan
Ning gave a high-sounding reason, which made Zhang Nan a little crying and laughing, but think about it and have some truth, when the Jinfan thief roamed the Yangtze River, he paid attention to thieves and had a way, and now it seems that it really lives up to its name!
!So according to Gan Ning's order, this time the soldiers gained a lot of money. The officials and their families left in a hurry, without anything with them. After hearing the news that the Han army had entered the city, the subordinates in the family also hid in the homes of nearby people. Because they knew that the Han army did nothing to the people, and they naturally did not know what to do with the officials. The two sides exchanged troops, and Sun Quan took the initiative to tear up the covenant, and in this regard, the Han generals should hate Sun Quan and those officials very much.
Money, cloth, grain, weapons, and even the papers, new books, etc. produced in Jingzhou were all swept away, and after two hours, everyone took a large pile of booty out of the city gate and returned to the warship.
Looking at these things, Gan Ning was very satisfied, which was much more plundered than when he was a Jinfan thief. With this, he will be more confident in holding Chaisang in the future.
"General, what do we do now?" "
The order given to us by the prefecture pastoral office is to attack Jiangdong and force Sun Quan to withdraw his troops! Taking Chaisang did not force Zhou Yu to retreat, now that Sun Quan has withdrawn, we are chasing along the river, I don't believe him Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others dare to really disregard Sun Quan's safety!"
So Gan Ning and Zhang Nan led their respective fleets, keeping a distance of five miles between the two teams, and went down the Yangtze River.
Two days later, Sun Quan withdrew to Jianye, and he had just stopped, took a breath, and was about to rest, when Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong ran in a panic.
"Lord... Master, it's not good..."
"You guys... What's the matter?" Sun Quan was already afraid to hear this.
"Gan Ning led the army, went down the river, caught up, and was less than ten miles away from Jianye!"
This...... They want to...
"Lord, in the opinion of his subordinates, Gan Ning's purpose this time is probably to be unfavorable to the Lord!" said Zhang Zhao worriedly.
"Lu Meng, where are they Lu Su, and Zhou Yu, with heavy troops in hand, why don't you come to relieve the siege?" Sun Quan was flustered and angry.
"Far water is difficult to quench thirst, subordinates have ordered them to quickly withdraw their troops, but now, Jianye may not be able to stay!" "
What then?"
"Only withdraw to Wu County!" "Okay, quickly withdraw to Wu County!"
Changsha
City Taishou Mansion, Lu Meng has also been a little busy recently. The soldiers took the four counties of Jingnan without bloodshed, but such a large place as the four counties of Jingnan was empty.
All the officials were evacuated, even the people.
Later, Tai Shici came up with an idea, Zhuge Jin captured many Shanyue people and soldiers when he conquered Shanyue, just so that those old, weak and sick soldiers and people could be moved to the four counties of Jingnan,
so that the land here would not be barren. And after more than ten years, it can become an important source of troops in Jiangdong.
So Lü Meng immediately wrote to Sun Quan to inform him of the matter. Sun Quan soon asked Zhang Zhao and others to move hundreds of thousands of people to the four counties of Jingnan, which made Lü Meng busy again.
Fortunately, there were some officials in the middle who came and helped a lot, and now they finally have a clue.
"General... General, the big thing is not good!" Lu Meng was processing official documents in the Taishou Mansion, and Taishi Ci ran in in a panic.
"Ziyi, what happened?" asked Lu Meng hurriedly.
"General, Gan Ning led the Jingzhou Water Army, the army came to Yuzhang, and the Lord Gong gave the order, quickly withdraw the army and relieve the siege!"
"What?" When Lu Meng heard this, he was stunned at once.
"General, the Lord has an urgent order, let the troops withdraw quickly!" "
Quick, quick, straighten out the soldiers and horses, warships!"
"No!" Lu
Meng's soldiers and horses are now scattered everywhere.
Since the fall of Chaisang, Tai Shici has been clamoring for the withdrawal of troops. What he paid attention to was Sun Ce's wife Da Qiao and son Sun Shao. Those who originally supported Sun Shao's inheritance of Jiangdong's hegemony were mainly Tai Shici. Helplessly, Zhou Yu finally favored Sun Quan, and he had to give up.
Da Qiao and Sun Shao fell to the enemy, and Tai Shici was the most anxious, and he always paid attention to Gan Ning's movements. Therefore, he was the first to get the news that Yuzhang had been attacked.
However, Ding Feng was in Lingling and Xu Sheng was in Wuling, and the two of them brought their soldiers and horses to Changsha a day later. After another half a day of rectification, he took a warship and left for Yuzhang.
It was not far from Changsha to Yuzhang by water, and when it was almost dark, the warship landed. Lü Meng led his army to the outside of the city without stopping, and found that there was no one above the head of the city, and the city gate was wide open.
"This... Is it true that the lord..." Lu Meng had a bad feeling in his heart.
"General, there is no trace of fighting at the head of the city!" Ding Feng looked around and said, "The lord may have withdrawn, let the last general lead a team of
soldiers and horses into the city to take a look!" "Okay, Chengyuan, you lead two thousand soldiers and horses into the city, be more careful, in case of Gan Ning's ambush!"
"General, the lord has withdrawn, but..."
"But what is
it?" "
But Gan Ning led a large group of soldiers and horses, did not stop in Yuzhang City, and had already chased down the Yangtze River!"
"What?" Lu Meng was shocked, Sun Quan withdrew, there must not be many soldiers and horses around, if he was caught up, how could it be Gan Ning's opponent! March fast and protect the lord!"
