Killing Zhou Yu, defeating Sun Ce, and taking Wankou, Yuan Fang ended the last life-and-death battle on the Yangtze River with a great victory. This article is written by . . First Post The plague that broke out outside the Great Wall always affected Yuan Fang's heart, making him dare not stop for a moment. The day after capturing Wankou, Yuan Fang's army marched out again, joined Zhang Liao and Ji Ling's troops who had captured Ruxukou, gathered 300,000 troops, and surrounded Jianye. More than 300,000 land and sea troops moved eastward along the river. The 30,000 infantry troops led by Lu Meng had arrived in Jianye first and surrounded Sun Ce and his remaining troops who had fled into the city. The land and water armies marched side by side, rushing toward Jianye City, which was more than a hundred miles away. Two days later, Yuan Fang's army of more than 200,000 infantry and cavalry arrived at the Jianye waters. Not long after, Zhang Zha's troops from the south bank also entered the southeast of Jianye, and Zhang Liao's troops from the north bank also arrived at the Jianye waters. The village is completed on the north bank of the river facing the industry. A total of about 300,000 troops formed a semi-encirclement of Jianye City from north to south. The army landed, and Yuan Fang's main army set up camp southwest of Jianye. After setting up camp, Yuan Fang summoned the generals to discuss the matter of breaking the city in the Chinese army's tent. "Jianye City is right in front of us. If you have any plans to destroy the city, feel free to tell us." Yuan Fang waved his hand. Lu Meng was the first to step out of the queue and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, Jianye is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city is also known as Stone City. The generals believe that Jianye City is no more important than Stone City. If you want to destroy Jianye, We must concentrate our forces and capture Stone City first." "General, please lead an army to attack this city." Tai Shici then sent out to call for battle. In the battle of Jiangnan, Taishi Ci showed his glory. As this is not enough, he is eager to fight and win this miraculous victory in conquering Jianye. Yuan Fang is naturally happy to see the generals generously seeking battle and their morale rising. Although he was eager to leave and go north, Jianye City was built on the mountain and was extremely solid. He couldn't rush it even if he wanted to. Yuan Fang was not in a hurry to agree to the generals' invitation to fight. Yuan Fang turned his attention to Pang Tong and asked: "I heard that in the early years, Shi Yuan, you traveled to Jiangdong for many years. Later, you followed Cao Cao and interacted with Sun Ce. I believe you must have some ideas on how to defeat Jianye City. ¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes were turned to Pang Tong. This new wise man. Pang Tong stood up. He slightly cupped his hands and said: "In my opinion, there is no rush to attack the city. Before attacking the city, your Majesty also regards another very important thing." Yuan Fangdun became interested. He signaled Pang Tong to continue speaking. "Back then, Sun Ce swept across Jiangdong and killed so many heroes in Jiangdong that everyone secretly resented him. Later, under the advice of Lu Su and others, he reluctantly treated Jiangdong's noble families and instead recruited and appointed them. Only then did the powerful Jiangdong people sympathize a little. Now, Sun Ce is in danger of being defeated in a row, and everyone in Jiangdong is in danger. There are many people who have rekindled old resentments. Isn't this the time for His Majesty to use his plan? " Pang Tong stroked his short beard and took his time. The strategy came out. Yuan Fang is so smart, he understood his intention in a blink of an eye. Pang Tong was suggesting that he engage in psychological warfare and break down Jianye City¡¯s will to persevere from within. Attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom priority. This is the way to advance the army. Yuan Fang nodded slightly, deeply convinced. Other advisers such as Guo Jia also realized the wisdom of Pang Tong's strategy, and they temporarily suppressed the idea of ????attacking and supported Pang Tong's motion. Yuan Fang was determined, so he sent the order and launched a powerful offensive against Jianye City. Yuan Fang ordered Pang Tong to ghostwrite and wrote an "Essay against Sun Ce" for him. In the appeal, Pang Tong enumerated Sun Ce's murderous crimes when he invaded Jiangdong, in order to arouse the buried hatred of Jiangdong heroes. Then, Pang Tong wrote another appeal, calling on the soldiers and civilians of Jiangdong to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, abandon Sun Ce, the enemy of Jiangdong, and throw themselves into the arms of Yuan Fang, the true emperor. Pang Tong also warned Jiang¡¯s army and people that if they continued to help the tyrants, Yuan Fang would punish them mercilessly after the city was broken. After the call was made, Yuan Fang ordered all the scholars and literati near Jianye County to be recruited and ordered them to copy the text overnight. In a few days, more than 100,000 copies were copied. Yuan Fang sent some of the more than 100,000 messages deep into the hinterland of Sanwu and scattered them throughout the counties. He divided them all together and shot them all into Jianye City with strong bows and crossbows. Tens of thousands of messages were fired into the city, which soon had a considerable psychological impact on the soldiers and civilians in the Jiangdong capital. Over the years, Sun Ce repeatedly raised troops to fight against Yuan Fang, but without exception he came back defeated. Countless sons of Sanwu died fighting for him. Those Jiangdong elders felt sad and angry about this. Moreover, from the previous Battle of Chibi to the later Battle of Xiakou, the Battle of Chaisang, and even the Battle of Wankou, Sun?The consecutive defeats made Jiangdong's elders lose confidence in him. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Now, Sun Ce was defeated and Jianye was besieged. The soldiers and civilians of the city were in danger, and they complained even more about Sun Ce's incompetence. As a result, under the "incitement" of tens of thousands of copies of the "Memorial Against Sun Ce", the resentment of Jianye soldiers and civilians towards Sun Ce grew day by day. While fighting psychological warfare, Yuan Fang was not idle and was seizing the time to prepare for the final siege. Because in less than a few months, Yuan Fang fought with Lianjie from Chibi to Jianye City in one go, and the logistics supply line suddenly stretched to five or six hundred miles long. Despite the convenience of water transportation on the Yangtze River, it was still so long. After all, the supply line also adds to the difficulty of logistical food supply. Yuan Fang then carried out psychological warfare while urging the rear to transport grain to the front. Only when enough grain and grass were gathered, he launched a general attack on Jianye City. While Yuan Fang was preparing for the siege in an orderly manner, Sun Ce in the city was living a miserable life. After being defeated in Wancheng, he brought back less than 10,000 remnant soldiers. Adding the original garrison of Jianye City, Sun Ce could only use more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Twenty thousand people were defeated, but they had to face Yuan Fang's 300,000 troops outside the city. In desperation, Sun Ce could only issue an order to recruit powerful servants and private soldiers in the city, and temporarily organized a new army to strengthen Jianye's defense. However, just after Sun Ce issued this order, he encountered a headache. In the lobby of the military mansion, Sun Ce was holding the "Essay on Discussing Sun Ce" in his hand, his face was livid, his whole body was shaking with anger, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred. It was this proclamation that greatly moved Jianye's people, and many powerful people refused to requisition their own servants for various reasons. One day after the order was issued, Sun Ce only recruited less than 3,000 new troops, and most of them were old, weak and disabled. Sun Ce suddenly had a premonition. He felt that the soldiers and people of Jianye were about to abandon him. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Furious, Sun Ce tore the silk book in his hand into pieces like crazy and threw it everywhere. "Bring the wine!" Sun Ce yelled angrily. The maids on the left and right did not dare to hesitate, and quickly brought the wine that had been prepared in advance. They knew that their angry lord would always drink wine to drown his sorrows as usual at this time. When the wine was served, Sun Ce poured himself one glass after another, wishing he could get himself drunk immediately so that he could forget the predicament he was in. "Yuan Fang, thief, do you think I, Sun Ce, are afraid of you? I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, you can attack the city. What kind of slogans can you make? It's ridiculous. I don't think any man or woman in this city dares to betray me!" Desperate Sun Ce , cursing, and once again spent time in a state of drunkenness and dreams. ¡ ¡ Two days later, south of Jianye City. In the camp of the Qi army, fighting spirit was burning like fire in the army. Three hundred thousand soldiers were sharpening their swords and preparing to launch the final blow against the enemies in the city. In the imperial tent, Yuan Fangzheng held the intelligence he had just received, with a sarcastic sneer on his lips. "Sun Ce has ruled Jiangdong for many years, but has lost all people's hearts. It is really sad." The information in his hand was secretly sent by the heroes in Jianye City who secretly communicated with Yuan Fang. Since Yuan Fang launched a massive psychological offensive, Jianye Many people in the city have begun to express their goodwill to Yuan Fang in private, and have taken the initiative to act as Yuan Fang's informants and internal agents. At this time, Taishi Ci said happily: "Your Majesty, Sun Ce is now demoralized. His Majesty's message has been issued, and people in the city are already panicking. Our psychological offensive has achieved results. Now is the time to attack the city with two prongs." " As soon as Taishi Ci made his remarks, the other generals generously asked for battle. Everything is ready, so there is no doubt. Yuan Fang took a deep breath, stood up, looked around the generals, and said sternly: "Pass on my decree, tomorrow morning, all the troops will be mobilized, let me concentrate the troops to break the stone city first." The order to attack was finally issued, and all the generals were Invigorate. After the military operation was over, the generals returned to their camps with great excitement and conveyed Yuan Fang's order for a general attack. The whole army was well fed and rested for a night. Before dawn the next day, the generals and soldiers left the camp in an orderly manner and marched towards the determined attack position according to the predetermined plan. In the misty sky, Yuan Fang was riding a red rabbit, carrying a Fangtian painted halberd, wearing silver armor, and a red cloak on his back. He slowly walked out of the gate and headed south of Jianye. Looking around, the flags cover the sky and the sun, and the big flags are flying in the morning wind, one after another like angry waves. With thick black armor and forests of swords and halberds, one hundred thousand high-spirited Qi soldiers lined up in front of Stone City. Countless pairs of fierce, high-spirited eyes stared at the enemy city as if they were staring at delicious prey. Yuan Fang stood in front of the horse formation, standing tall and majestic, looking at the towering city in the distance, a strong and passionate feeling burning like fire in his heart. In front of you is Jianye City. Among the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties, many dynasties that emerged in the south would, without exception, locate their capitals in this royal city. Yuan Fang had to admit that Sun Ce still had some vision. It was from him that Jianye City began to become the political and economic center of the south. And for this majestic Jianye City in front of him, Sun Ce had no idea how much thought he had to put into it. of creation. "Sun Ce, you built a capital of kings. Unfortunately, you were unlucky and met Yuan Fang. You are destined to have no luck in enjoying this Jianye City." From the inside out, it bursts out unbridled. After watching the enemy for a long time, as the sun was rising in the east, Yuan Fang waved his halberd and pointed at the enemy city, shouting: "All troops, please raze the stone city to the ground for me."
