Zuo Yunshang commanded a hundred warships and more than 10,000 soldiers this time, most of whom were from the Ezhou Army. His mission was to attack Jiangxia, and the following fleets would continue to attack Wucheng and Jiangling up the river. . After Zuo Yunshang surrendered, he immediately sent people to persuade the warships behind him to surrender. There were 900 warships and more than 70,000 Wei troops. They immediately fell into chaos. As a result, most of them responded and were willing to surrender. Of the more than 70,000 Wei troops, there were 30,000 They are from the Ezhou Army, 10,000 are from the Xinghua Army, and the rest are from the Yuwen clan. The sailing navy troops are all from the Yuwen clan, but the proportion of the navy in each ship is not large. After the chaos, only more than a hundred warships fled back along the river. Nearly 60,000 Wei troops returned to Lu Qi. What made Lu Qi happy was that Wang Yong was among them. The comrades who had been together through life and death met each other. Excited to give me a hug. After letting go, Wang Yong said with shame: "Brother, I didn't help you." Lu Qi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother can help me safely. In fact, I have wanted to let him go." I was an official in the Jin State, but because I was not in the Jin State, I made my eldest brother trapped in Hongzhou for a long time." Wang Yong was startled, and Lu Qi smiled and said, "I will talk to my eldest brother in detail later, and now my eldest brother is with Zuo Yunshang. After gathering the military strength, the eldest brother was temporarily appointed as the deputy envoy of the Wuchang Army, and Zuo Yunshang was appointed as the envoy. " Wang Yong stepped back and said respectfully, "I accept the order." Lu Qi nodded and went to meet Wang Yong. The general said: "Everyone, today the Jin State launched a war to destroy the Wei State. Chizhou's 200,000 troops marched by land and water, Ganzhou and Hengzhou's 500,000 troops, and Tanzhou's 300,000 troops. Now you all belong to the Wuchang Army. I appointed Zuo Yunshang as the Military Envoy of the Wuchang Army, and Wang Yong as the Deputy Military Envoy of the Wuchang Army. The other generals remained in their original posts and were appointed by the Joint Military Envoy and the Deputy Military Envoy of the Wuchang Army. " "No!" Hundreds of generals. Respect the military salute. "After the Wuchang army is established, it will immediately attack Ezhou. The process of attacking Ezhou will be under the control of Gu Taiwei." Lu Qi ordered again, and the generals took the order. After arrangements were made to surrender the army, Lu Qi led the 20,000 troops stationed in Jiangxia and set off for Jiangling. He did not let Jiangxia's troops go to Ezhou, but acted according to the original plan. When Lu Qi set out, the Battle of Han River was already a fierce battle. Pan Mei's main attack was on the Han River between Xiangcheng and Fancheng. The Zhou army commanded more than 400 Mengchong ships and hundreds of flat-bottomed boats. A pontoon bridge was built on the water. It was spring, the flow of the Han River was much less than in summer, and the flow of the Han River between the two cities of Xiangfan was also very gentle. The defending Jin army used arrows and rockets to block the Zhou army. Lu Qi wanted to abandon Jingzhou, but he could not retreat without a fight. Therefore, most of the defending Jin army officers and soldiers did not know that they were about to abandon Jingzhou, otherwise the army would definitely lose their fighting spirit. . Guan Chong was in charge of the defense in Fancheng. He needed to receive Lu Qi's order before he could retreat. However, the fierce attack of the Zhou army made him frown. The Zhou army was indeed brave, and they were brave enough to cross the water and fight without fear of death. , and multiple archers, accurate and extremely long-range arrows, suppressed the Jin army and suffered heavy casualties. If such a fierce confrontation continues, the Jin army will definitely not be able to stop the Zhou army's offensive. Just when Guan Chong was thinking about whether he should adapt, Lu Qi's envoys arrived and ordered Guan Chong to retreat. Guan Chong ordered the retreat in batches, and at the same time learned about the Jiangxia war. When Guan Chong heard that Lu Qi had made Wei's invading army surrender with just the word "Wu", Guan Chong suspected that he had heard wrongly. After hearing the explanation, he realized that Wei's army that attacked Jiangxia was once Lu Tianfeng's subordinate. Because of the retreat, the 5,000 blocking troops selected before the war went to the front line and started a crazy shooting attack. After burning incense, more than 4,000 blocking troops turned around and ran away. These troops were all people who could run. There is no armor on the body, in fact, they are just archers. As soon as the Zhou army saw that the enemy had escaped, they immediately rushed to the south of the Han River with great morale. Once they got ashore, they immediately formed a formation to defend themselves. This is a normal military behavior. It is impossible to pursue them as soon as they cross the river. The pursuit will become a lone army. Deep, but by the time Zhou's army numbered tens of thousands and had crossed the Han River, it had already passed. Pan Mei crossed the Han River from the floating bridge and set foot in the south of the Han River. However, he looked into the distance with confusion. He clearly noticed something was abnormal, and Zhao Kuangyi even felt it was abnormal. He had been in the Han River for many years and launched several large-scale attacks. In the war, he felt that this time the enemy was blocking the attack and he was obviously weak, but he would not approach Pan Mei to discuss it. Pan Mei and the Zhao family were completely hostile. Emperor Zhou granted a title to a county prince, so it was easy to alienate. The closeness between Pan Mei and Zhao. Because she felt something was abnormal, Pan Mei advanced cautiously, sending out many small teams of scouts to explore the way first, and then the army advanced behind. As a result, she reached Jiangling City, but she successfully did not encounter a single Jin army, and even Jiangling City was The city gate is wide open and there is no defense. Pan Mei did not enter Jiangling City first, but went to Dajiang. She stopped at the dock on the riverside and looked out. She could see a large number of ships moored opposite, and the flag of Jin was also facing the wind.slutty. "Unexpectedly, Jin State would give up Jingzhou." A general behind Pan Mei said in disbelief. "That's nonsense. If there was no invasion by the army, would the Jin army escape?" Pan Meiwei turned her head and scolded in a low voice. The person speaking behind her was one of his nephews. "Yes, my subordinate made a mistake." The general admitted his mistake in panic. He knew that he was wrong. If Jin was said to be an abandoned Jingzhou, the hundreds of thousands of Zhou soldiers would have scolded him to death because they were occupying abandoned land. Military achievements will be greatly reduced. "Send the order, the forward four armies will be stationed by the river to defend against Jin's counterattack." Pan Mei gave the military order and then turned around and went to Jiangling City. ***** Lu Qi and his 20,000 troops crossed the river in Jiangling and arrived at Lizhou. Then they rushed to Langzhou and entered Tanzhou via Langzhou. On the way to Lu Qixing, the Jin army was also destroying Wei. After the Wei navy left the mouth of Jiujiang, the next day, the Emperor of Wei suddenly announced that he would personally conquer the army and assemble an army of 400,000 in Hongzhou, preparing to attack the Jin army in Jingzhou at the right time when Zhou defeated the Jin army in Jingzhou. Launch an attack on Chu land. However, the Chizhou Kanghua naval force, already carrying 80,000 troops, moved up the river to attack Jiangzhou where the Jiujiang estuary was located. Jiangzhou was the home base of the Yuwen clan for many years. Zhang Ji from Ganzhou and Du Yong from Hengzhou also sent troops. Attacking Wei, as soon as the army reached the border of Jizhou, Wei's 30,000 troops fled. Zhang Ji led his army to capture Fuzhou, Xinzhou, and then to Raozhou to join the Chizhou Army in Yankui Mountain. Du Yong's 300,000 Baling Army marched from Jizhou to Yuanzhou, and went down to Yuanzhou to directly attack Hongzhou, the capital of the Wei state. Gu Taiwei also sent troops to attack Yuezhou. When they advanced to Ezhou, the Wuchang army was under control, and the army headed east. Jiangzhou. By the time Lu Qi arrived at Changsha Mansion in Tanzhou, several armies from the Jin State had already arrived in Hongzhou. The 400,000 Wei army in Hongzhou collapsed without a fight. The Wei State that Yuwen had worked so hard to build was completely unable to withstand the test and was on the verge of collapse. , the emperor of Wei, set fire to himself in the palace in Hongzhou City, and the Yuwen family surrendered and became prisoners. Lu Qi did not go to Hongzhou, but stayed in Changsha Mansion to wait for news. He expected the overthrow of the Wei State. The Wei State was a patchwork of forces, based on the previous official power of the Tang State. Most of its military strength had serious deficiencies. stable. For example, the Ezhou Army was deceived into joining the Wei State. Zuo Yunshang was able to defect after seeing the wooden character. In fact, there were many reasons. One of the main reasons was that he lost confidence in the Wei State. The strength of the Jin State was indisputable. In fact, he also sincerely surrendered to the Wei State. The Emperor of Wei stubbornly refused to give up his dream of being emperor, but others did it for their own interests and did not want to go crazy with the Emperor of Wei. There is another secondary reason why Lu Qi abandoned Jingzhou, which was to strengthen the stability of Jin's military strength, let Jingzhou's military strength participate in the heroic battle to destroy Wei, and shrink the troops together to form a huge military exercise. Let many ambitious generals feel their own insignificance. Another reason is that Lu Qi wants to reveal his own existence and deepen the army's respect and centripetal force for him. Emperor Zhou's situation is a bright mirror for him. Because of his health, Emperor Zhou dare not go out. If he is in If the army appears weak, it will have even more adverse consequences. The battle report was sent to Lu Qi. After reading it, Lu Qi took up the imperial script and issued a pardon: "The Yuwen clan will be released as common people in Xinzhou. They will not be bullied without guilt. When they come to Xinzhou, they will be given land by mouth and can seek fame. "
