- King Chu Hui died, and his death was not spectacular. After all, he did not have enough courage to die in a suicidal charge. In other words, he didn't want the remains of his body. He wanted to die more like a king, so he chose to commit suicide.
The death of King Chu Hui caused the Chu army, which was already demoralized, to collapse. In fact, whether King Chu Hui died or not had little meaning to the Chu army. The collapse of the Chu army is actually not far away. Anyone who is not blind can see the black smoke in the direction of Wancheng. When the soldiers of the Chu army were fighting, no one was worried about the safety of their families.
Because they occupied Wancheng, the Chu soldiers had no choice for the safety of their families. Most of the Chu soldiers chose to surrender. Yang Zilu did not kill them. Except for the 20,000 people left behind, the rest of the Chu soldiers just surrendered their weapons. Three days after the closure, Yang Zilu also paid them travel expenses to go home and announced that this year they would be tax-free and next year they would only be charged half tax.
The purpose of war is not to destroy. Although it often brings destruction, Yang Zilu still wants to preserve the vitality of the people as much as possible without destroying.
Yang Zilu¡¯s move also made the people of Chu, who had been at war for many years, very happy, and many people began to accept the Han. Even the people of Chu who did not accept the rule of Han chose to sit on the sidelines and were unwilling to fight for Chu anymore. Of course, they were not willing to fight for Han either. But this has already consolidated the foundation of Han's rule here. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. With these foundations, this is already a very good start for Han.
Not long after, the news that King Hui of Chu had committed suicide reached Ye Gong who was fighting in Piying. Ye Gong did not commit suicide, but died to follow King Hui of Chu. Instead, he chose to wear sackcloth and wear filial piety and led the remnants of the Chu army to resist tenaciously. Ye Gong's move also inspired the Chu army's tragic feelings.
But Yang Zilu was too lazy to continue fighting with Ye Gong, so Tang Jiguang sent Xia You to lead the boat division together with Han Jia and Ding Su to clear out the remaining troops of the country. The arrival of Yang Zilu boosted the morale of Han Jiading's troops. Coupled with the input of Xia You, a new force, it took about two months to finally improve the morale and defeat the remnants of the Chu army.
Ye Gong was still unwilling to give up at this point, so he made Prince Kun, the younger brother of King Hui of Chu, the king of the country. He led more than 4,000 defeated troops and more than 10,000 Chu people hid in the Jingshan Mountains, relying on the complex terrain of Jingshan to resist. It was not until a year later that Han Jiading captured Ye Gong and Gongzi Kun and strangled them with bowstrings, and the Chu State was truly destroyed. The Chu State Office was also ordered to break up one household into a unit and move to Guangling County, Donghai County, Wu County and other areas. This is to prevent the Chu State from resurrecting.
After Yang Zilu pacified the Chu State, he divided the original land of the Chu State into three counties: Nanyang, Jiangxia, and Nanjun. Among them, Nanyang was governed by Wancheng, Jiangxia was governed by Zaiying, and Nanjun was governed by Wuying. Nanyang You Zilu served as the county governor, Jiang Xia made Xia You the county governor, and Nanjun made Han Jiading the county governor.
After Yang Zilu dealt with this, he immediately led his army northward. This time, 20,000 more troops from Chu State surrendered. These surrendered soldiers were all elite soldiers, many of whom were Gong Jia, the Imperial Guards of Chu State. Yang Zilu was afraid that there would be a mutiny if he left them here, so he led them north to attack Jin. This brought the strength of Yang Zilu's Han army to 100,000!
Facing the attack of the Han army, the Jin State was shocked throughout the country. Because the Han army's attack this time was divided into two directions: the Jiyong army, which attacked from the direction of Zheng, and the 100,000-strong army commanded by Yang Zilu, which attacked from the southwest of Jin. In addition, although Zhao Wuxie was placed under house arrest by Yang Zilu, Zhao Wuxie was a smart man and he quickly recognized the reality.
Zhao Wuxie did not sit still. Although others could not leave, Yang Zilu did not hinder Zhao Wuxie from sending his confidants back to the Zhao family. Through remote control, Zhao Wuji ordered the Zhao family's private soldiers to assemble, and the soldiers could go south at any time.
The three ministers of Jin thought about it and finally decided that the Han family, whose territory was in the southwest of Jin, would resist Yang Zilu's army, and the Zhi family, whose territory was in the southeast of Jin, would be responsible for resisting Shiyong's attack. The Wei family, whose territory was relatively inland, was responsible for resisting the Zhao family.
Jin's originally small military force was suddenly divided into three parts. Don't the people in the three ministers know that "injuring ten of their fingers" is worse than cutting off one of them? Of course not.
It is really because the four ministers are not united in their hearts, and the Han family was originally the weakest. Now among the four ministers, only Han Hu and Zhao Wuji are safe. Only Han Hu was able to return to Jin and brought back a small number of Han soldiers. The other two ministers, the Wei family and the Zhi family, had to compromise and elect a head of the family after some internal fighting and Yang Zilu's oppression.
A family with internal instability, their strength can be imagined. The Han family suddenly became the most powerful family in the Jin Dynasty. But strong is strong, but it is not possible to convince the Zhi family, the most powerful family in the past, to convince the Han family. Just like the UK, they are in theDuring World War I, it had lagged behind the United States, but during World War II, it still acted like the boss. Why? It¡¯s not that they can¡¯t accept it in their hearts.
The situation in the Jin State is also the same now. The Han family has no prestige and makes the Zhi family and Wei family listen to them, so the power of the Jin State is dispersed.
In fact, Jin's best strategy is to choose defense in the face of the Han army's offensive, and concentrate on destroying the Zhao family, which is the weakest and has no family leader. Or they could concentrate their efforts to severely inflict heavy losses on Gui Yong, the weakest member of the Han army. No matter which strategy it is, it is better than the current arrangements. It is just the national conditions that define everything.
Yang Zilu led the army to Luoyang. Emperor Zhou who lived in Luoyang was afraid, so he simply used the golden cicada to escape from his shell. Of course, to Emperor Zhou, this was a golden cicada escaping from its shell, but to Yang Zilu, it was called an escape. All in all, Emperor Zhou fled to Quwo, the capital of Jin, with his treasures and troops loyal to him, seeking asylum in Jin.
Yang Zilu easily captured Luoyang and crossed the river from Mengjin. Yang Zilu knew very well that Zhiyi and the Han family did not like each other, so after Yang Zilu crossed the Yellow River, the route he took followed the boundary between the territories of the Han family and the Zhi family. The Zhi family was originally the largest family in the Jin Kingdom, but now Han Hu has taken this title away with despicable means. How could the Zhi family be convinced? They wanted to use Yang Zilu's power to consume the Han family's strength, and they would take advantage of it.
And what about the Han family? The Han family used to be the weakest, so they were naturally bullied by the arrogant and domineering Zhiyao. Now that they have become the largest family in Jin, you, the Zhi family, will fight to the death. Han also watched with cold eyes, waiting for Zhi to relent.
By the time the two clans felt something was wrong, Yang Zilu had already led an army of 50,000 people to advance more than 200 miles calmly and broke into Wei's territory. The Wei family did not expect that Yang Zilu's troops would suddenly attack from the rear. They thought that with the presence of the Han family and the Zhi family, the rear area was safe. Just in line with the famous saying, ideals are plump, reality is skinny.
When the Wei family deployed heavy troops in the area of ??Zishi (the name of the city), Yang Zilu led an army of 50,000 to attack Anyi, the main city of the Wei family. Although Anyi has a small military force, as the residence of the Wei family, its construction is quite stable.
It¡¯s a pity that the Zi family is more than 800 miles away from Anyi, and there are many mountain roads and Zhao family¡¯s private soldiers to restrain them.
However, Yang Zilu did not leave to capture Anyi. Instead, he devised a plan to besiege Anyi and let the people of Anyi go outside to ask for help. When they saw Wei's envoy rushing from Anyi for help, Han and Zhi also realized that they had been tricked by Yang Zilu.
After receiving the news, Han Hu, the head of the Han family, and Zhi Si, the head of the Zhi family, were ashamed and angry. They were ashamed that they were still fighting among themselves at this time, and angry that they had failed to live up to their expectations and had been schemed against by Yang Zilu.
After understanding the situation, Han Hu and Zhiguo did not dare to continue the quarrel. After the two discussed, the Zhi family sent an army of 30,000 people and the Han family sent an army of 50,000 people to join forces to rescue Anyi. Yang Zilu, who was alone in the attack, was also dealt with, letting him know how powerful the Jin State was. The coalition forces Han Hu as the marshal, and Zhi Kuan, the most powerful general of the Zhi clan, as the deputy marshal and vanguard.
But are things really as firm as Zhisi and Han Hu thought? Everything Yang Zilu has done so far has a profound meaning
"Where is the place ahead?" Zhiguo asked, pointing forward.
"General! That place is called Wang'an Valley, which means that you can see Anyi after passing here! General, please move forward quickly and save my parents in Anyi from the fire! At any moment, I'm afraid Anyi will be captured. !" The person who spoke was the envoy sent by the Wei family, and he was also the guide of this march.
"General, this valley is quite dangerous. General, please send someone to search it first!" Upon hearing this, the deputy general immediately persuaded.
"General, no! Wang'an Valley is only thirteen or four miles away from Anyi. If a search is carried out, the Han barbarians may be alarmed!" At this moment, Wei Li's envoy wished he could put a pair of wings on his ribs and fly to Anyi. Are you willing to waste time searching?
"Well, what you said makes sense, order the army to set off!" Zhikuan nodded, waved his hand and gave the order.
"General, wouldn't it be better to ask the marshal? And this way our troops will be more concentrated!" The deputy general immediately felt dissatisfied and dissuaded him.
Hearing this, Zhikuan hesitated a little. Zhikuan was indeed brave, but he was not stupid. "Okay, go talk to the marshal!"
The Wei envoy immediately complained secretly and complained that the deputy general was meddling in other people's business. "General, let me go too!"
"Okay!" Zhikuan responded disapprovingly.
Seeing this, the deputy general glared at Wei's envoy secretly, telling him not to cause trouble. But how could the Wei envoy be intimidated by the deputy general? Instead, he glared at the deputy general, who was so angry that he almostCan't help but take action.
The deputy general snorted coldly and ordered the driver to turn the chariot and drive to Han Hu. Wei's envoy was also afraid that the other party would persuade Han Hu not to advance, so he hurriedly followed.
PS: I originally planned to speed up the completion of the book today, but some readers objected. To say that this book is perfect should not make it a little incomplete later on.
Mumu decided to adopt the opinion, but in this way, it would be difficult for Mumu to ensure the stability of the update.
In order to make money, Mumu is already preparing to open a new book.
And the new book "Little Pirates at the End of Ming Dynasty" will also get a good recommendation next week, and Mu Mu is excited. There is a lot of pressure. I hope everyone can give Mumu a little more time to write slowly while ensuring the quality. (To be continued - Didn't finish reading?
