Three Kingdoms: Concubine Yu Ji Lu Pheasant, I Overthrow the Han Dynasty

Zhang Liao drew out his spear, looked at Huang Zu's fallen body, and narrowed his eyes.

Soldiers who, deception also.

Chapter 188 Two War Letters, Two Scoldings

The battle of Hefei came to an end.

Because of this, Zhang Liao was nicknamed Zhang Babai.

Because Grandfather Huang, his son, and Su Fei were killed, the [-] elite were almost destroyed, and Jiang Xia was left empty.

Then, Gan Ning took the opportunity to march from Xiangyang and captured Jiangxia in one fell swoop.

So far, the land of Jingzhou north of the Yangtze River is all under the control of the Qin army.

Yingwu also gave Gan Ning an order that after Jingbei was completely pacified, Gan Ning could take the opportunity to march to Jingnan and take all of Jingzhou.

After Gan Ning received Yingwu's order, he was naturally extremely happy, and immediately accelerated the political reform in Jingbei.

At the same time, Gan Ning also practiced his soldiers and horses vigorously, preparing for the southern expedition.

Zhang Liao made great achievements, from an unknown person, he suddenly became the third general under Yingwu's command, Gan Ning was of course jealous.

Therefore, Gan Ning secretly made up his mind, preparing to use the smallest price in exchange for the greatest victory.

The reason why Gan Ning wants to compare with Zhang Liao is not only because Gan Ning is both civil and military, but more importantly, Gan Ning also has an army under his command, which is the Jinfan Army you mentioned earlier.

The number of Jinfan Army is more than 800, which is similar to the number of [-] warriors under Zhang Liao's command.

Moreover, these more than 800 Jinfan troops have followed Gan Ning for a long time, and all of them are hundreds of generals with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Gan Ning also planned to use the more than 800 Jinfan Army to make some noise.

Let's talk about Sun Quan.

After a big defeat, under the protection of Zhou Tai and Cheng Pu, Sun Quan fled back to Jiangdong.

Of the 3000 soldiers and horses who went out for the expedition, only more than [-] were able to return to Jiangdong.

The two defeats of Sun Ce and Sun Quan caused Jiangdong to lose [-] soldiers and horses.

The [-] sergeants are naturally all Jiangdong natives.

Among them, some are private soldiers of aristocratic families, and some are soldiers recruited from the people.

These two battles had a huge impact on both Jiangdong's agricultural production and the strength of the aristocratic families.

From then on, Jiangdong was no longer able to go north, and could only defend passively, waiting for the Qin army to attack.

Sun Quan's control over Jiangdong has also been weakened a lot.

Han Dang, Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, and Jiang Qin were killed, Huang Gai was abolished, Tai Shici surrendered, and Jiangdong's generals suffered even worse.

Now, there are really not many generals that Jiangdong can take out.

Cheng Pu, He Qi, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Ling Cao, Xu Sheng, plus Zhu Xi and Lu Jun who are not high in force value, barely there are just a few people.

Not only did Sun Quan not dare to go north again, but he deployed most of his troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River. He was worried that Zhang Liao would take the opportunity to go south.

This time, Sun Quan made another mistake.

Zhang Liao did not go south.

Yingwu's strategy is that Jiangdong was defeated twice, and Jiangdong's internal instability will inevitably lead to disaster.

Therefore, let Jiangdong mess up first, and then raise troops to the south, which is naturally more effective.

The reason why Yingwu made such a strategy is because there is a Shanyue in the land of Jiangdong.

The stronger the Jiangdong, the flatter the mountains.

If Jiangdong is weak, the mountains will rebel.

As Yingwu expected, soon after Sun Quan was defeated and returned to Jiangdong, Shanyue rebelled.

Adding fuel to the fire, Sun Quan was so angry and angry that he suddenly fell ill, and sent Cheng Pu as the general to lead the army to quell the chaos in the mountains.

Jiangdong, of course, was in a mess.

Huainan is safe and sound, so Yingwu is relieved.

The political reform in Jizhou is basically coming to an end, and Yingwu is considering continuing to march.

This is the benefit of the cooperation between the military title system and political reform.

The military merit title system has made the soldiers' combat enthusiasm unprecedentedly high.

The army is placed on the battlefield, and no one is cowardly.

As for the political reform, it is to eradicate the aristocratic families and bullies, and distribute their fields to ordinary people. The ordinary people naturally welcome Yingwu with both hands.

After eradicating the aristocratic families and bullies, Yingwu naturally obtained sufficient money and food.

The common people obtained the fields, which could also increase food production, and they enthusiastically signed up to join the army.

Therefore, the way to win martial arts, to put it bluntly, is to support war with war.

If you feed war with war, you can fight all the time and keep fighting.

Not only do you not get poor, but the more you fight, the richer you become.

Of course, Yingwu is well aware of the situation in Bingzhou.

Gao Gan mobilized 13 soldiers and horses, and King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns also led [-] elite cavalry, a total of [-] soldiers and horses.

Among the 13 soldiers and horses, there are [-] cavalry alone, and the remaining [-] are infantry.

Therefore, Yingwu discussed with Shang Yang and Bai Qi, and decided to raise an army of 13, [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, to attack Bingzhou.

This battle will soon determine the ownership of the merged state.

The location of the decisive battle between the two sides is in Jinyang.

Of course, this was not chosen by senior cadres, nor by Liu Bao, but by Yingwu.

Yingwu led 13 troops and directly attacked Jinyang.

Jinyang is the governing place of Jinyang and the base camp of high-level cadres.

After knowing the purpose of winning Wu, Gao Gan could only quickly shrink his troops, preparing to fight the Qin army in Jinyang.

Yingwu came [-] miles outside Jinyang City and set up camp.

After the Qin army camp was established, Yingwu wrote two letters of war.

A gauntlet is for senior cadres.

In the letter of the war, Ying Wu scolded the senior officials for being inhuman.

Yuan Shao fought fiercely in Jizhou, but Gao Gan did not give reinforcements for a long time, resulting in Yuan Shao's defeat, which meant that Gao Gan indirectly killed Yuan Shao.

The second letter of war was addressed to Zuo Xianwang Liu Bao.

This letter of war is to denounce the southern Xiongnu as a vassal state of the great Han, but during the Chang'an Rebellion, they took the opportunity to go south to plunder, which is simply inferior to beasts.

Yingwu also scolded the Southern Huns, they never dared to fight head-on, they would only take advantage of the fire and loot, they were a dirty nation.

For these two letters of war, Yingwu did not send people to Gao Gan and Zuoxian King Liu Bao, but shot them into Jinyang City with bows and arrows, and a total of thousands of copies were shot.

Therefore, the entire Jinyang City knew the contents of these two letters of war.

The high-ranking officer is fine, he has some tricks, knowing that this is Yingwu's aggressive method, and he will not be fooled by provoking him out of the city to fight Yingwu to the death, so he just laughed it off.

But Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao was different. After reading the content of the gauntlet, he was so angry that he screamed.

Yingwu's letter directly scolded the entire Southern Huns, and the soldiers could be killed but not humiliated.

If the strength of the Qin army is strong, Liu Bao may still have some doubts. This is a strategy to win Wu.

But both sides have 13 troops, and the number of cavalry and infantry is the same, so I'm afraid of a bird.

Therefore, Liu Bao immediately signed a letter of war, agreeing to a decisive battle in three days.

When Gao Gan heard the news and rushed to stop it, it was too late, and the people sent by Liu Bao might have already arrived at the Qin Army's camp.

Right now, the situation in Bingzhou is that everyone is prosperous and everyone is losing.

If Liu Bao's [-] cavalry were lost, leaving only his [-] soldiers and horses, he would definitely not be able to defend Jinyang City.

But the high-ranking officials were more cautious, and immediately sent out scouts to find out that there was no movement in Jizhou. They also signed the letter of war and sent people to Yingwu to send it.

The Battle of Bingzhou is about to start.

At this time, Cai Yan's distress letter also came into Yingwu's hands.

Chapter 189 Cai Yan Jumps off a Cliff

Qin army camp.

In Yingwu's large tent of the Chinese army,

Cai Heng and Cai Zhi stood respectfully, with their hands crossed, waiting for General Ying to read the letter.

After a while, General Ying sighed slightly after reading the letter.

In Yingwu's mind, a bleak picture emerged.

A frail beauty from the Central Plains, wearing the clothes of a barbarian, holding a Jiaoweiqin in her arms, was running southward in a hurry.

Beside him was a maidservant in the same barbarian clothes, and they were holding hands.

Behind them are the ferocious cavalrymen of the Southern Huns galloping towards this side.

"Miss, hurry up, this servant will block them." The maid let go of Cai Yan's hand and pushed her forward a few steps.

Then, the maid turned around resolutely and went up to the cavalrymen.

"Yan'er..." Cai Yan yelled sadly, tears streaming down her eyes instantly.

Then, Cai Yan wiped away her tears and continued to run south with a determined face.

Yan'er rushed to the cavalry, and was immediately beheaded by a Southern Huns cavalry.

Yan'er's head shot straight up to the sky, looking at Cai Yan's back, she soon lost consciousness.

In front of Cai Yan was a cliff.

The cavalry of the Southern Huns also slowed down and gradually stopped.

Zuo Xian Wang Liu Bao came out more and more.

"Miss Cai, come back with me, and pretend that what happened today never happened."

"Otherwise, once Shan Yu finds out, he will never save your life."

"I don't..." Cai Yan shook her head with a determined face, "King Zuo Xian, I will not marry you, so you should give up on that."

"Come here, bring me here." Liu Bao's face changed slightly, and he raised his hand and shouted.

Immediately, two cavalry stepped forward, one threw Yan'er's body in front of Cai Yan, and the other threw Yan'er's head in front of Cai Yan.

Cai Yan immediately burst into tears, knelt down in front of Yan'er, and burst into tears.

Liu Bao rushed forward and grabbed Cai Yan.

Then, Liu Bao grabbed Jiao Weiqin in Cai Yan's arms with his left hand, and threw it into the cliff.

Cai Yan's expression had frozen, she no longer cried, nor showed any sadness, but just watched Jiao Weiqin slowly turning into a black shadow.

Suddenly, Cai Yan took out a dagger from his arms and slashed at Liu Bao's wrist.

The blood burst out, and Liu Bao's wrist was chopped off by Cai Yan.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Yan stabbed the dagger fiercely at Liu Bao's mount.

Liu Bao's mount was in pain, and he immediately ran forward with all four hooves. Liu Bao was shocked, angry and hurt, so he could only grab the horse's rein with his left hand in a hurry, not caring about Cai Yan for the time being.

Cai Yan grabbed Yan'er's head, then grabbed Yan'er's belt, and jumped down into the abyss with all his strength.

In the air, a smile finally appeared on the corner of Cai Yan's mouth.

Liu Bao also controlled the frightened horse, and he couldn't help being very angry when he learned that Cai Yan had jumped off the cliff.

"Go down and search for me, I'm going to tear this bitch into pieces."
