Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 866
"Han Ji Wang Deng Jiang Huo Biography": "In the 25th year of Jianxing, Cao Biao rebelled in March, and Yu Shouchun established himself as emperor. The ancestor ordered Huo Yi, the general of the hussars, to conquer the south of the five-way army. In April, the attack Outside Huang, Wang Chang went to battle, Yi defeated his army, beheaded Chang's head, and wiped out his three clans... In June, Yi advanced to Yuzhou, killed Wuqiu Jian, and surrendered Qiao and Chen counties."

"As far as Shouchun, we will meet the divisions of Wu and Yue. Zhuge Ke, the great general, said: "There is a lot of water in autumn, which can be used as a wall, and the city will be irrigated with Yingshui. "Yi Nazhi made the sergeant do civil work. Wang Ling heard that, wanting to stop him, he went out of the city and attacked many siege rings, all of which were broken by Wenyang. Linghu was afraid, so Xuzhou governor Linghuyu begged to surrender, Yi refused to allow, and cut Yu. The sculls, the sculls, the hooks, the arrows, the stones, and the rain, attack them day and night."

"Heavy rain for half a month, torrential water, several feet of flat ground, flooding the city with Yingshui. More than half of the people in the city starved to death, Ling Zai begged to surrender, Yi was not allowed, and the encirclement became more urgent. Zhuge Dan, the governor of Yangzhou, was the vanguard, leading his headquarters to attack the city, and the battle was urgent. , Sheng wanted to withdraw, Yi beheaded him, and ordered the Wu and Yue divisions to attack the city. Ling attacked the southern encirclement, Yi Zong was defeated, and beheaded in Shoushui..."

Because Yingying water flooded Shouchun City, there was a lot of water in the city, which was abnormally turbid.The stench of drowned poultry in the corners, starved bones exposed the wilderness.The soldiers of the Han army covered their mouths and noses, and moved the poultry and corpses to the city for collective burning.

Huo Yi stepped on the muddy stagnant water, and ordered: "You can't use running water, and all drinking water must be hot. Order soldiers to be careful of disease."

"promise!"

This time Wang Ling and Guan Qiujian set off a rebellion, which seemed to be very powerful, but in fact it did not pose a particularly big challenge to the big man.Under the powerful military force of the Han Dynasty, the rebels were disintegrated one by one by the Han Dynasty, and Wang Chang and Guan Qiujian died in battle one after another.Wang Ling led the remnant troops to retreat to Shouchun and resisted stubbornly.

The only challenging thing was the siege of Shouchun. Under Wang Ling's long-term garrison, Shouchun had already been built into an iron wall, and the big man surrounded it.However, the siege of Shouchun also became a battlefield for the big Han to weaken and surrender the Wei army and the Wu army.

The surrendered rebels were represented by Zhuge Dan, and Huo Yi ordered him to be the vanguard to attack Shouchun in order to cut off Zhuge Dan's military power.Huo Yi also didn't allow Wang Ling to surrender, but forced him to a corner.After several days of siege, Zhuge Dan requested to withdraw his troops because of too many casualties among his soldiers, but Huo Yi killed him because he violated the military order.

At the same time, there were also generals of the Wei army such as Wang Ji and Wen Yang. In the battle to put down Wang Ling, they suffered a lot of casualties, and they fought almost all the first battles.After several tough battles, the surrendered Wei army suffered heavy casualties, while the Han army had almost no casualties.

After the Wei army finished resisting, it was the turn of Zhuge Ke and Quan Cong's Yue and Wu soldiers to serve as consumables.In the end, under the crowd tactics of the big man, Shouchun couldn't bear it anymore, the city was broken by the big man, and Wang Ling fled out of the city.

"Report Huo Hussar, Cao Biao was captured by our army, how should we deal with it?" Deng Zhi asked.

Without any hesitation, Huo Yi said: "Execute Cao Biao, his family members, and all the rebel officials, and punish his three clans. Send Cao Biao's head to Chang'an to report the good news to His Majesty."

"promise!"

The Dahan adhered to the principle of cutting the weeds and eradicating the root of the rebel leader, and at the same time, except for the remnants of Cao Wei who participated in the rebellion, he rarely let go, of course, the premise is to enter the crushing situation.For example, when the battle was in turmoil, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, Zhuge Dan's surrender was also accepted.

But when it came time to encircle Shouchun, the big man entered a crushing situation. In order to weaken the power of the surrender and punish Wang Ling, the chief villain, Huo Yi still refused to allow Wang Ling to surrender.

In short, the big man will not be too rigid, and will be guided by the situation.

Luo Xian came up on horseback from behind, and reported: "Huo Huo, Wang Ling fled to Shoushui, was caught up by our cavalry soldiers, surrounded and killed him on the spot, and the soldiers have brought his head back to the camp."

Huo Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Send his head to Chang'an together with Cao Biao's head."

"promise!"

After Luo Xian responded, he didn't leave, but hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

"It doesn't matter what you say!" Huo Yi saw what Luo Xian was thinking, and said.

"General, please take a step to speak!" Luo Xian said.

When Luo Xian and Huo Yi walked to the corner, Luo Xian saw that there was no one around, and boldly said: "General, Wu and Yue are entrenched on the left side of the river. Cao Wei has been cut off, and the Central Plains have been unified. The army has reached Shouchun again, so it is better to break the Wu and Yue divisions, send them south, and annex Jiangzuo to settle the southern affairs."

Luo Xian believes that Cao Wei has been destroyed, and only Wu and Yue are left in the world.Now that Huo Yi has led the army to Shouchun, and Jiangdong is only a distance away from the Yangtze River, it is better to surrender the Wu and Yue divisions and march southward to completely unify the world.

"Ha ha!"

Huo Yi patted Luo Xian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The words of Ling Ze are good strategies. However, the Jiangzuo matter, the general's heart has his own plans, and the order can be considered for the future."

"promise!"

Luo Xian pursed his lips and replied.

In fact, there is no need for Luo Xian to mention it, Huo Yi and Liu Chan's close contacts have already determined the plan to annex Jiangzuo, and even the plan is already being implemented.

In the camp of the Han army, Zhuge Ke and Shi Ji's faces were not very good-looking. After breaking through Shouchun City.They were 'invited' to the camp by soldiers of the Han army, and Deng Zhi communicated with them about surrendering to the Han.

It's not like they don't know that the big man ruled the world.When Liu Chan ordered them to send troops to the Northern Expedition, they probably knew it in their hearts. After Wang Ling's death, their country of Yue was not far from being destroyed.

At the same time, it was not that Wang Ling had not contacted them, but they were afraid of the power of the big man, and worried that if they joined forces with Wang Ling, the big man would solve it together.So Sun He also hesitated, not daring to send troops to meet Wang Ling.After Liu Chan's edict was delivered, they saw that Yue State had sent troops, so they sent troops slowly.

Now that Wang Ling was dead and his family was wiped out, they thought it would be their turn after some time.Unexpectedly, Huo Yi directly crossed the river and demolished the bridge, attacking himself and others.

It's not that they haven't thought about surrendering to the big man, but they feel somewhat uncomfortable being held hostage by the Han army like this.

But at this moment, it's not their turn to hesitate too long.In another of their camps, Quan Cong and Quan Xu, father and son of Wu State, were also thinking about surrendering to the great Han.

Shi Ji sighed, and said: "It is clear that the Han Dynasty will rule the world, and it is not wise to resist stubbornly. If we surrender to the Han Dynasty today, the lord will still be a prince, the ancestral temple can still be preserved, and the people of Jiangdong will also survived."

Zhuge Ke also responded and said: "In the past, your Majesty was assassinated and died, the country was divided, the two countries were in endless war, and the lives were devastated. Ke saw it every time, and couldn't bear it. Today's reunification is really a general trend. We should do it for a hundred years. .”

After a pause, Zhuge Ke said: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty is sage and virtuous. He can raise an army in a corner of the southwest and finally rule the world. He is not an ordinary king. He should surpass the ancestors and surpass the ancestors!"

Zhuge Ke and Shi Ji gave each other steps, and the two walked out of the tent with a tacit understanding, but Quan Cong and his son also walked out of the tent at the same time.

Zhuge Ke sneered, apparently dissatisfied with Quan Cong and his son.And Quan Cong and his son also couldn't understand Zhuge Ke, and glared at him angrily.After many years of struggle between Sun He and Sun Ba, the scholars of the two countries have been involved in private affairs from public affairs to private affairs, and then from private affairs to public affairs, hating each other and fighting each other.

When the four of them looked at each other, Deng Zhi, who had been waiting for a long time, came up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty always says that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and now I have Jiangzuo hero again!"

"General Hussars has hosted a banquet in the big tent to celebrate the pacification of Cao Biao's rebellion and the reunification of Wu and Yue."

"Thank you Deng Jun!"

Under Deng Zhi's strong pressure, Zhuge Ke and Quan Cong let go of their dissatisfaction, entered the big tent in a friendly manner, and paid homage to Huo Yi.

The next day, the generals of Wu and Yue stayed in Shouchun and wrote letters to return to the country, urging Sun He, Sun Ba and others to surrender to the Han.

And Huo Yi also took advantage of the right to act cheaply. In Shouchun, he helped the people in Jianghuai who were affected by the war, and reduced the taxes of the people in Jianghuai for two years. After two years, they only need to pay half of the tax. After five years, they will pay normally.

"General Qi, our army captured a person outside the city. This person collected the body of the rebel General Linghuyu and buried him. May I ask the general how to deal with it?" the attendant reported.

"Oh?"

Huo Yi, who was in charge of military affairs, stood up and asked curiously, "Who is this, who dares to be so bold as to bring him up?"

"promise!"

The young man with a strong figure and a resolute face was escorted in by the attendants.

"Linghu Yu is the general of the rebel army, who are you, dare to collect his corpse?" Huo Yi asked.

"In Xiamalong, a native of Taishan County. Linghu Yu is my old master, and I appointed you as Yamen General. Seeing him exposed to the wilderness now, I can't bear it, so I specially buried him."

Ma Long said unhurriedly: "Although Linghuyu has a serious fault, he has been exposed to the sun for three days, and he has already reached the meaning of punishment by the big man. I have heard that the big man ruled the world with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, so he dared to bury the old master."

Huo Yi saw that Ma Long was neither humble nor overbearing, and had a heart of benevolence and righteousness, so he had a good impression of him, and said with a smile, "Quickly untie the righteous."

"Thank you, General Hussars, for the next word Xiaoxing."

"Since Xiaoxing is the general of Yamen, what are his strengths?" Huo Yi asked.

Ma Long pondered for a while, and said confidently: "I don't practice martial arts very much, I have a rough understanding of military affairs, I am good at using bows and crossbows, and I admire the method of loyal and public soldiers..."

Huo Yi saw that Ma Long was a Wei man, admiring Zhuge Liang's method of using troops, and immediately became interested, but because of the urgent need to deal with the official business at hand, he had to say: "Since Xiaoxing has something to say, he must have real talent. Now a certain official business I'm busy, please step back, and I will talk about military strategy with you later."

"Don't dare!"
