Chapter 1172: Taking office

Zang Gong led the Han army, evacuated Guangdu and Wuyang, and went all the way south to attack Nan'an.

Gongsun Shu immediately sent Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke to lead 80,000 Shu troops and went straight to Nan'an.

Gongsun Yong was the younger brother of Gongsun Shu, and Wei Ke was one of the generals under Gongsun Shu, and these two led the Shu army of 80,000 people to Nan'an and launched a large-scale attack on Nan'an.

Although the Shu army had a large number of troops, the resistance of the Han army was also unusually fierce, relying on the defense of Nan'an City, giving the Shu army a head-on blow.

Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke led their troops to storm for three days, but not only failed to break through the defense of Nan'an City, but suffered a lot of losses themselves.

After three days of fighting, the moat of Nan'an was almost stained red by the blood of the Shu army.

The reason why Nan'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack is mainly because it is located at the confluence of the three rivers, where the Yangtze River, Yishui and Moshui converge, and the water resources are abundant, which also makes the moat of Nan'an wide and turbulent.

A person who falls into it, even if the water is good and not injured, is likely to drown in it.

The siege was ineffective, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke could only temporarily retreat and retreat to Yufujin in the north of Nan'an City.

Yufujin is the ferry outside Nan'an City, and Nan'an City is about ten miles away, and the Shu army retreated to Yufujin, which is equivalent to sealing the road of the Han army to the north.

Gongsun Yong sent a letter to Chengdu again, asking Gongsun Shu for reinforcements, with their current soldiers and horses, if they want to conquer Nan'an City, it is impossible.

After receiving Gongsun Yong's letter, Gongsun Shu was not stingy, and dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses to Yufujin, so that the soldiers and horses of the Shu army in Yufujin were close to 100,000.

Because they had attacked Nan'an before and hit a pack, even if they had 100,000 troops, Gongsun Yong and Wei Ke did not dare to attack Nan'an City easily, and the war between the two sides was delayed.

On the other hand, Wu Han finally didn't have to repair ships in Yiling, and the ships he repaired earlier were now just in handy.

Wu Han led the 30,000 Han troops stationed in Yiling, waved his army westward, passed through the Yangtze River waterway, and entered Ba County.

When I walked to Jiangguan, I happened to meet the envoy of Ren Gui, the king of Qionggu.

Ren Gui's envoy was originally to surrender to Cen Peng, and he also carried many gifts for the Luoyang court.

When the envoy was halfway there, he heard the news of Cen Peng's assassination, and the Han army had also retreated from Wuyang, so the envoy took these gifts and returned the same way.

When I arrived at Jiangguan, I happened to meet Wu Han.

The envoy was overjoyed, took the initiative to find Wu Han, explained Ren Gui's intention to surrender to sincerity, and handed over all the gifts to Wu Han.

Ren Gui wanted to submit to his own court, Wu Han of course would not object, warmly entertained Ren Gui's envoy, accepted all the gifts sent by the envoy, and then sent someone to Luoyang.

Liu Xiu confiscated these gifts and transferred them all to Cen Peng's family.

In addition, Liu Xiu chased Cen Peng as the Marquis of Zhuang, Cen Peng's eldest son Cen Zun, as the Marquis of Xiyang, and Cen Peng's second son Cen Huai as the Marquis of Guyang.

After crossing the river pass, Wu Han led 30,000 Han troops to Pingdu by water.

Pingdu has been captured by Cen Peng, but with Cen Peng's assassination, Pingdu has begun to become unpeaceful inside and outside.

Many rumors say that the Han army is no longer good, the Shu army is about to counterattack back, and those who have surrendered to the Han family in the past will be in great trouble if they still do not repent.

Under the threat of these rumors, people inside and outside Pingdu were panicked, and another thief army was causing chaos inside and outside the city.

After Wu Han arrived in Pingdu, he learned about the situation in Pingdu from the local county government, and learned that someone was in trouble in Pingdu, and there were many thieves outside the city.

The Han army led by Wu Han is not an elite division, but most of the troops are old and weak.

The highest-ranking general under Wu Han is not a famous general, but Liu Shang.

Wuwei General Liu Shang is Liu Xiu's clansman, and in the Luoyang Imperial Court, where the stars are shining and the heroes are gathered, Liu Shangzhen is one of the obscurities.

Until recently, Wu Han was transferred by Liu Xiu to Pingshu in Nanjun, and Liu Shang finally survived to the day, he was appointed as Wu Han's deputy and followed Wu Han to Nanjun.

Even Liu Shang, who is inconspicuous in the Luoyang court, is not an idle person, don't look at the previous little work, and he is not too reused by Liu Xiu, but he is definitely a battle-hardened veteran.

And Liu Shang has a particularly good relationship with Wu Han, he never claims to be a clansman, he thinks he is superior, everything is based on Wu Han's horse, Wu Han says east, he never says west, Wu Han says forward, he never says back.

With such a deputy general by his side, Wu Han also felt quite comfortable.

For such a trivial matter as being a thief in Pingdu, Wu Han naturally would not go out in person, and this matter naturally fell on Liu Shang's head.

Liu Shang led the army, and in just two days, he wiped out the thieves around Pingdu, killing hundreds of people and capturing thousands of people.

Through the interrogation of the captured thief army, it was learned that there were many large households in Pingdu City as their internal response.

When Wu Han learned about it, he was furious, led his army into the city, and found out all the internal responses and families that the thieves had confessed, and all the children under the age of seven were all executed.

Cen Peng's methods of governing the local area are more like Liu Xiu, with the purpose of being gentle and benevolent, trying to kill as few people as possible, and it is best not to kill people, and if you can open the net, you can open the net, and let it go with one eye closed.

And Wu Han is completely different, Wu Han has black hands, which is famous, it was he in the city of Xinye Tu back then, and then aroused public anger and couldn't end it.

When the Pingdu county government saw that Wu Han led the soldiers and horses into the city and wanted to kill so many people, the county commander almost fainted on the spot.

took a cadre of county government officials to find Wu Han and plead with him.

Some big families have fornication with the thieves outside the city, which is really helpless.

No one wants to be a wall grass, but the current situation is like this, the city head changes the banner of the king, today the Luoyang court is in charge, tomorrow it may be the Chengdu court in charge again, who knows which side they should stand on?

For the sake of safety, we can only try to not offend both sides, and we can pour which side is windy.

Wu Han couldn't listen to these at all, and seeing that Ping Duling repeatedly pleaded for those big families, Wu Han his Tiger Mighty Bright Silver Halberd, glared at Ping Duling, and asked: "Do you also want to betray the Han family and re-join Chengdu?" ”

The three souls and seven spirits of Pingdu Ling almost flew out in fright, where did they dare to persuade one more word, drooping their heads, shrinking their necks, and not daring to speak again.

Without the blockade of the Pingdu Order, Wu Han issued a beheading order! Adulteration with thieves, even if it was only through letters, except for children, all were executed, and for a time, in the city of Pingdu, there were mournings, and nearly a thousand people were beheaded.

Wu Han went on a killing spree in Pingdu, which greatly shocked the counties in Ba County, and the situation of people's unrest was brought under control.

After leaving Pingdu, Wu Han led his army to Huangshi again, stationed with Huangshi for a day, and set off to Jiangzhou.

The main force of Cen Peng's department was in Jiangzhou, and the Han army led by Feng Jun was still besieging Jiangzhou City.

After Wu Han led his troops to Jiangzhou, Feng Jun hurriedly led his generals to greet him.

Entering the Han army camp and arriving at the Chinese military tent, Wu Han sat in the position of the main general.

He was so unkind, no one would find it inappropriate, and no one would be dissatisfied.

Wu Han is the Great Sima, and he is also the chief general of the whole army who was personally appointed by His Majesty.

After a brief greeting, Wu Han turned his head to look at Feng Jun and said, "General Feng! ”

"The last general!"

Feng Jun hurriedly bowed his hand.

"How is the battle going on this side of Jiangzhou?"

Feng Jun Zhengse said: "Back to Da Sima, Jiangzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many soldiers and horses in the city, and there is enough grain and grass, in a short time, it is difficult for our army to conquer Jiangzhou, uh......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, looked at Wu Han, and stopped talking.

Wu Han waved his hand and said, "What do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"Back to the great Sima, before the general's death, he once explained to the last general, for Jiangzhou, when the main thing is trapped, storming Jiangzhou, the casualties of our army are too great, the gains outweigh the losses, as long as Jiangzhou is trapped, given time, our army can be bloodless, take Jiangzhou lightly, the last general of the general's words, deeply agreed."

In front of Wu Han, he praised Cen Peng, which was somewhat not good, which was also the reason why Feng Jun hesitated to speak.

He thought Wu Han was stingy.

The candidates of Da Situ and Da Sikong are constantly changing, but Wu Han is as stable as Mount Tai in the position of Da Sima and has never wavered, why?

In addition to his extraordinary ability, because Wu Han is broad-minded enough, he has never been a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable.

When he thought that Cen Peng was more suitable than himself to be the commander of the whole army, he took the initiative to let Xian hand over the command of the whole army to Cen Peng, and let Cen Peng go to attack the city and conquer the city, while he himself stayed in the rear to repair the ship.

No matter what Wu Han does, whether he is happy or unhappy in his heart, he can do this step, which is enough to prove Wu Han's heart.

Wu Han glanced at the cautious Feng Jun and said, "I also deeply agree with General Cen's opinion, let Tian Rong continue to be his shrinking turtle in Jiangzhou City!" ”

When Feng Jun heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that as soon as Da Sima took office, he would change all the general's tactics and tactics and attack Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is indeed not easy to fight, the cost of a strong attack is too great, after fighting Jiangzhou, I am afraid that my side will not be able to advance in Yizhou.

Wu Han said: "General Feng, most of the soldiers and horses I led are old and weak, I will leave these 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, and you can pick out 30,000 elites from the army to give me, okay?" ”

Feng Jun blinked his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is Da Sima wanting?" ”

Wu Han said: "Now General Zang is leading his troops in Nan'an, 100,000 Shu troops, stationed in Yufujin, eyeing the tiger, I want to lead the army to aid General Zang and defeat this Shu army!" ”

Feng Jun frowned and said: "On General Zang's side, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the army led by Da Sima is only 30,000, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses, and it is necessary to break 100,000 Shu troops, which is ...... I'm afraid it's not easy! ”

Wu Han looked up and smiled disapprenorantly, and said: "One hundred thousand Shu army children, only a group of rats who don't know whether they are dead or alive, I will go this time, I can take them lightly!" ”

Grunt! Feng Jun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this kind of thing, only Da Sima dares to say it, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have to be laughed out.

Feng Jun cleared his throat and persuaded: "Da Sima must not underestimate the enemy!" ”

Wu Han waved his hand and asked, "General Feng may send out 30,000 elite soldiers?" ”

"Yes!"

Feng Jun didn't even hesitate, and immediately nodded.

"Very good! Give me 30,000 soldiers tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will set off for Nan'an! ”

Wu Han said categorically.

"The last general obeys!"

Feng Jun was not persuading, and bowed down to answer.

What kind of person is Wu Han, the master who hit the south wall and didn't turn back, but no one can change the decision he makes, and it can't be said that no one can change Wu Han's decision, and it is estimated that only the Son of Heaven can change Wu Han's decision.

Wu Han passed through Jiangzhou, rested in Jiangzhou for two days, two days, his subordinates had a big blood change, 30,000 old and weak, replaced by 30,000 young and strong elite soldiers, and then, Wu Han led 30,000 fresh troops, from Jiangzhou, continued to take the Yangtze River waterway, to Nan'an.

On the way to Nan'an, Liu Shang asked Wu Handao: "Da Sima, after we arrive in Nan'an, will we fight a land war with the thief army or a water war?" ”

Wu Han smiled and asked rhetorically, "Does General Liu want to fight a land war or a water war?" ”

Liu Shang thought about it carefully, rubbed his hands and said with a dry smile: "Don't hide it, Da Sima, the last general wants to fight a water war more?" ”

When Wu Han heard this, he was quite surprised, Liu Shang was the same as him, but he was a landlubber, and he had never been in contact with water warfare before, but he didn't expect that he would be more willing to fight water warfare.

He couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?" ”

Liu Shang said: "Da Sima, think about it, we have been studying water warfare in Yiling for so long, if we don't apply it once in actual combat, won't all this work be in vain!" ”

"Haha-" Wu Han laughed on his back, patted Liu Shang's shoulder, and said, "What General Liu said is very much to me!" Actually, I also want to fight a water battle with the thief army and win a big water war! ”
