    Chapter 131 "Inventory of the Yizhou Battle"

    When a breeze blew by, people on both sides realized that the majestic city wall in front of them had disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a pile of rubble and rocks.  *There was some red liquid and minced meat scattered on it, but whether it was blood or meat, it looked very dirty because of a lot of dust.  []

    The houses, trees, soldiers, and people in the city are all visible to the attackers.

    Pang Tong didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The order to attack was given by Xu Shu, who had known Pang Tong's attitude. He laughed loudly and asked: "Haha, shall we attack or not?"

    Pang Tong then whispered: "Attack!"

    Pang Tong finished his words, and the anxious drummer waiting next to him immediately beat the war drum in front of him with all his strength.  Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Liao each led their troops to rush in through the gap. After passing the collapse, one group of men and horses faced east, one group of horses faced west, and one group of men and horses went straight forward. The soldiers all rushed forward, shouting happily, shouting the loudest.  The most dangerous thing is of course the soldiers who got benefits and heard the explosion in Jiangyou Town last time.

    In stark contrast to the attacking troops, the city was completely silent. Many people just looked at the excited enemy troops rushing towards them. They forgot to run, forgot to resist, it can be said that they forgot everything.

    Not long after the attacking soldiers entered, the city gates were opened accordingly. Because the battle went surprisingly smoothly, Pang Tong's reserve troops left outside the city also rushed in.

    Pang Tong's army swept across the city like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Only when the troops attacked the northern part of the city, some soldiers who reacted and led a few sporadic generals put up limited resistance, but more people seemed to be helpless.  His head was scurrying around like flies.  Some of them bumped into the inverted blades of the attacking soldiers.

    No one knows where Yang Ang, the city guard general who swore before the battle, has gone.  Even after the war, he was not found, and it was not known whether he was dead or alive.  Some people said that he was on the city wall when the bomb exploded, so his body was not found. Some said that he had been killed by the rebels when the attacking troops rushed in, and his body was trampled to pieces by troops and horses, making it unrecognizable

    There was another person with a nose and eyes who said he saw Yang Ang get into the sewer ditch.  The soldiers who entered the city were overjoyed and led the braggart through countless stinking ditches.  Of course nothing was found!  The braggart really couldn't stand the seriousness of those soldiers, so he finally admitted with a sad face that he was bragging, and after being slapped several times by those angry soldiers, he went home in a mess.  But a few years later, this guy started to raise his tail again, saying that he once commanded soldiers to track down Yang Ang. When he spoke, he looked extremely proud, happily enjoying the envious eyes of everyone.

    The battle to capture Shangyong City lasted only more than two hours.  From the time the soldiers entered the city after the city wall collapsed to the time after the battle when tens of thousands of prisoners were escorted out of the city for reorganization, it was all done in one day.

    More than 500 defenders were killed by the bombing, of which only more than 200 defenders and migrant workers died on the city wall. However, more than 300 soldiers and civilians were crushed to death after the city fell. Many civilians were still hiding in their homes after being dropped.  The bricks and tiles were buried alive, it was really a disaster that fell from the sky.

    During the battle, more than 3,000 defenders were killed.  The attacking side also suffered more than 700 casualties, and dozens of them died unjustly. They were actually damaged by the bombs but did not fall down immediately.  After the soldiers rushed into the city, he suddenly fell down and was killed by a house.  Of course, there were also a few who stumbled and fell down due to the small space at the cave entrance and were trampled to death by their companions.

    Wutugu, who received Pang Tong's order and led his troops back to the camp with Yu Jin, was filled with resentment and loudly said to Pang Tong: "You won before we even took a good position. Why can't the future fight this kind of battle?"  If I had known this, there would be no need for the general to travel such a long distance. Next time we attack Xiangyang City, the general must lead the offensive troops. There is no point in fighting without killing people."

    Pang Tong smiled and said, "I'll definitely let you go next time!"

    Yu Jin and three thousand soldiers and horses were left behind to select, organize and train the captured team.  On the third day, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Fazheng led more than 56,000 soldiers toward Xiangyang City in great excitement.

    What disappointed Wutu Gu greatly was that Zhang Lu in Xiangyang City received a detailed report that Shangyong City made another huge noise, and even a long section of the city wall collapsed. After Pang Tong's army ended the battle in only two hours,  He immediately led his nearly 30,000 troops out of the city to surrender to Cao Cao.  What was left to Pang Tong's army was an empty city with smoke and cries everywhere.

    Pang Tongtong announced the victory to Liu Jia in Chengdu while announcing the plan to pacify the people.

    Such quick news surprised Chengdu people. Many people asked each other in surprise: Was the domineering Zhang Lu wiped out like this?

    At this point, the entire battle for Yizhou has come to a successful end!  Now, except for Cao Cao who is still preparing for a war with Ma Teng and Han Sui's military group, all other parties participating in the war have their own plans.own belonging.

    According to Liu Jia's order, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Fazheng and others led Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Yan Yan, Wutu Gu, Zhuo Ying, Yang Hong and others and tens of thousands of soldiers and began to march into Chengdu. Others such as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong  Others stayed and served as governors in Hanzhong and Xiangyang.  Yu Jin trained the prisoners first and then returned to Chengdu.

    Taking advantage of Pang Tong and others to enter Chengdu.  Now let¡¯s summarize the situation of the battle for Yizhou:

    The thrilling battle for Yizhou started when Liu Jia led his army from Jiangling and entered Yizhou in October of the 14th year of Jian'an, and ended when Pang Tong's army entered Xiangyang City without any hindrance in June of the 16th year of Jian'an.  It lasted one year and eight months.  The military groups participating in this war included: Liu Jia, Sun Quan, Liu Bei, Zhang Lu and Du Jiwu of Chengdu, with a total of more than 400,000 troops. The war spread to Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and other places, and almost the entire Jiangnan was affected.  arrive.

    The final result was that Du Ji was completely eliminated, Liu Bei and Zhang Lu lost their place of survival and finally had to seek refuge with others. Although Sun Quan only occupied one county, he absorbed almost all of Liu Bei's strength.

    Of course, Liu Jia gained the most. Not only did he capture Yizhou and drive out all the enemies in Jingzhou, he also captured Hanzhong and Jiaozhou.  It has become the second largest armed force in the country after Cao Cao. Currently, except for some foreign forces in the southwest and the escaped rebels who are making some small moves in the border areas, the entire three states are slowly beginning to return to normal life order.

    Liu Jia's territory controlled by Liu Jia used Qinling Mountains and Wudang Mountain as the dividing line to the north to confront Cao Cao; to the east, Jiuling Mountain and Luoxiao Mountain were used as the dividing line to confront Sun Quan.

    "Cao Cao and Sun Quan took the river as the natural dividing line, and followed the river from Fankou eastward to the sea.

    In terms of population, the total population of Liu Jia's three states is about 2.3 million, the population of Sun Quan's one state is about 1.8 million, and the population of the territory controlled by Cao Cao is 7 million.

    In the early stages of this war, Cao Cao did not participate in the war because he was recovering from the wounds caused by the Battle of Chibi - also known as the Battle of Wulin.  In the later period of the war, Zhang Lu lost the opportunity to participate in the war because he did not expect Zhang Lu's instant defeat like everyone else, so he had neither loss nor profit.  Of course, if the 30,000 defeated troops led by Zhang Lu took refuge with him can be considered a result of the battle, then Cao Cao can also be regarded as a winner in the battle for Yizhou, but Cao Cao was a little dissatisfied.

    After hearing that Pang Tong¡¯s army was far away from Chengdu, Liu Jia led his officials out of the city to greet them.  The whole Chengdu is full of joyful atmosphere.  The generals, who had been away fighting all year round and rarely getting together, were even more elated. After returning to camp and arranging relevant work, they went out to find their friends.

    Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Fazheng and other senior military officials were naturally not as relaxed as the generals. They only rested for one night before being summoned by Liu Jiazhi to discuss future political strategies.

    However, before discussing future strategies, several people happily summarized the situation of the war.  Pang Tong and Xu Shu talked the most, and they also knew the relevant situation best, so the summary was naturally based on them.

    Xu Shu said: "Looking at the entire battle for Yizhou, the key to our victory is to attract the enemy's main force to Jiangyou Town with 30,000 troops, making up for all the mistakes made some time ago. In addition, the bomb explosion was successful, so we achieved  Total victory in this war.¡±

    Pang Tong said: "This is just one aspect. And this aspect only ensures the escape of 30,000 of you. The two moves that the prefect is most proud of are the sneak attack in Chengdu and the outsmarting in Hanzhong. This is the most enjoyable technique, just like the mountains and flowing water, it has always been  It¡¯s so cool. If only Jiangyou Town exploded without any consequences, it would be like water flowing halfway up the mountain and being blocked by huge rocks, and then forced into the stream. It would be so uncomfortable.¡±

    Xu Shu said: "You are still the prefect. Now my lord is Master Zhou Mu. Shi Yuan is aware that Lord Zhou Mu has good command. In fact, it means that he is wise and brave, right? Whether it is a sneak attack in Chengdu or an outsmart victory in Hanzhong, you will be there.  It¡¯s Shiyuan¡¯s contribution. Haha"

    "Haha, if you give Tong a reward, why wouldn't Tong not accept it? It's just that the general direction is the prefect Haha, Mr. Zhou Mu decided it. Tong only arranged the details, so he can only get a small part of the credit."  Pang Tong was happy and said with a smile. Pang Tong's ugly face turned into a flower.

    Xu Shu also said: "That's right, I didn't think so far back at that time. However, Shiyuan attacked Yinkeshang in Guiyang. He only took three counties from Jiaozhou. He gave and took. I still admire him very much. Without your five thousand elite soldiers.  Enter Yizhou secretly. Without you marching boldly in Jingzhou to attract the attention of all parties, we may not be able to achieve such great results?"

    Liu Jia smiled and interjected: "Without Shi Yuan carefully arranging the command outside, it would be good if we could take Yizhou. You immediately returned to the carbine after receiving the letter. This is how we took the initiative in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.  "

    Speaking of this, Liu Jia asked: "Shi Yuan, in this war, do you think Zhou Yu committed crimes in Jiaozhou and Zhuge Liang committed crimes in Changsha County?"What's wrong?  "

    Pang Tong shook his head and said: "No, they didn't make mistakes. Even if Tong was in the situation at the time, he would have done the same thing as them, and he might not have done as well as them. Like Zhou Yu, who was able to use sea ships to smuggle troops to the South China Sea.  The county waited for Shamoko to take the bait, and sent elite troops to block the front in advance, successfully surrounding our 10,000 mobile troops. This was a clever move! Zhuge Liang saw that we were unable to launch a battle to resist their invasion of Fankou and Xiakou.  The soldiers entered the two places, and then suddenly displayed their serial crossbows in Changsha County. Changsha, with its high city and wide walls, quickly changed hands. If we hadn't estimated in advance that they had any powerful troops or forces they could rely on, our Changsha would have been destroyed.  It must be his. It can be said that as long as Lord Zhou Mu cannot break out on your own, or the breakout time is too long, the commander-in-chief will definitely lead his troops to Luo County to rescue you. At that time, Zhou Yu will definitely break through  Gaoliang County, if we concentrate our efforts to eliminate Samoko, without reinforcements, we can only watch from a distance as Zhou Yu takes Cangwu or Yulin, it is completely up to him, Jiaozhou will definitely fall into Zhou Yu's hands.  "

    Pang Tong continued: "The same is true for Zhuge Liang. Even if we secretly use the terrain of the prefecture to build an inner city, as long as we can't send troops to harass their retreat because of saving Lord Zhoumu, there will be no army led by Fa Zheng.  When they arrive in Jingzhou, Changsha County will be occupied by them immediately. After occupying Changsha County, they can press on Jiangling County from Xiangyang and Changsha at the same time. Isn't Jiangling also very dangerous?"

    Pang Tong seemed to be more and more impressed as he spoke, and finally concluded: "The main reason why they worked in vain is that you were able to break out of the encirclement on your own in Jiangyou Town and completely defeated the Zhang Lu and Du Ji coalition forces. This result was due to everyone's wish."  It was expected, including those who knew the situation. That's why Tongcai was able and dared to kill this retaliate. In fact, it was Tongcai who made use of this big explosion that no one could have imagined, and the two of them retreated safely without any losses.' The situation was favorable.  Seize it quickly when the situation is favorable, and stop immediately when the situation is unfavorable. This is the great skill of a commander - being able to take and give up. If you hesitate a little, you may not be able to take what you can take when it is advantageous, and you can't escape when it is unfavorable. As for the loss of Xiangyang  , Liu Bei was kidnapped by Jiangdong. It¡¯s really not Zhuge Liang¡¯s fault. He was not a god. How did he know that Hanzhong had been captured by us? When he got the news that Hanzhong had been captured, he immediately asked Guan Yu to rescue Xiangyang, but it was too late. Pass  In this war, General Tong made a discovery, that is, the transmission of information is so important! Getting the information earlier may sometimes determine the outcome of a battle. If the pigeon raisers sent by Zhuge Liang had not gone missing, they would still have the carrier pigeons.  If you report the situation on the battlefield to him in time, Liu Bei will definitely not be so miserable."

    ¡­¡­

    After discussing the battle, several people¡¯s thoughts began to turn to what to do in the future.

    Pang Tong said: "The next stage will of course be based on the general strategy of putting economics first and military affairs first, as set by Master Zhou Mu. Now that the world is divided into three parts, we can take advantage of Cao Cao's opportunity to send troops to the northwest to wipe out those projectiles in the southwest first.  As a small country, wait until the economy of the three states has almost recovered before engaging in a decisive battle with Cao Cao."

    Liu Jiadao: "The general idea is this, but we now have two issues that need to be solved urgently. The first question is whether to unite or resist Sun Quan? If we unite, how will we unite and be prepared to make concessions? What if they make excessive demands?  What's the bottom line? On the contrary, if we resist, how can we resist? The second question is what to do with the Ma Teng and Han Sui groups who are preparing for Cao Cao's attack? Should we ignore them or send troops to support them and respond from afar?"
