Chapter 534 Recovering the entire territory of Jingzhou

Chapter 534 Recovering the entire territory of Jingzhou

After scaring Liu Yin, he repeatedly promised not to disobey military orders again, and Ma Di let Liu Yin go.

There was no way, Ma Su himself disobeyed military orders specifically to commit suicide. But if this habit is passed on, it will have a huge impact on the command system.

I have insurance if I die, but what do you have if you die?

Therefore, no matter how disobedient it is, Ma Su, who once loved to disobey military orders, has now become the number one person who upholds the majesty of military orders.

Closer to home, thanks to Sun Quan in this battle, Ma Di finally waited for the main force of the Wu army. All 40,000 Wu troops were wiped out at Changbanpo. From then on, the entire Jingzhou was almost empty.

Not only Jingzhou, because Ma Di also killed tens of thousands of Wu soldiers in the battle of public security. So far, Soochow's available troops have not exceeded 50,000, and Jiangling is already within the grasp of the Han army.

But even so, Ma Su still had to send troops to attack as soon as possible. After all, Jiangling is indeed a dangerous city. Even if the defense is empty, it is not particularly easy to fight.

After arranging for Liu Yin to send the captive governor back to Xiangyang, Ma Di wrote a letter and went to the police, ordering Xiang Chong to lead troops to cooperate. Then Ma Su led 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry and quickly went south along the Jingxiang North Road.

Along the way, several counties such as Qingni and Xiling all looked at the wind. After all, the main force of Soochow was defeated before their eyes. This situation made it difficult for them to raise their fighting spirit.

Ma Su surrendered all the way and quickly reached the gates of Jiangling City. Then he used the cavalry to guard the main road, and he led the infantry to support Xiang Chong in preparation for a forcible attack.

A few days later, Xiang Chong also mobilized 17,000 infantry from Jingnan and came north. The two armies joined together, with a total of 20,000 infantry, and launched a strong attack on Jiangling City.

However, even if all the main forces of Soochow were drawn out, there would only be two thousand defenders in the city. However, the Han army's strong attack was still very difficult, especially the two-city system of Jiangling City, which made the Han soldiers suffer a lot.

There is no way, when Guan Yu built it, he was rushing to make it never fall. As a result, Jiangling gave up to someone who did not want to be named, and now Jiangling has become a problem that troubles the Han army.

Fortunately, Ma Su was not in a hurry. The main force of Soochow had been basically wiped out, and he was not worried about any support from the Wu army. So after Ma Su ordered the cavalry to guard Wulin Avenue, he personally led all the infantry to press forward.

Just when Ma Di stormed Jiangling, Lu Xun was defeated and died, and the news that the entire Jingzhou Army was annihilated also spread back to Jianye. When Sun Quan heard the news, he was as stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.

"How is this possible? Isn't Ma Di resisting the Wei army in the north? How could he appear here?"

Sun Quan didn't dare and didn't want to believe that this was true. He didn't want to believe that his Jingzhou regiment and his chief governor all died on the battlefield. But Prime Minister Gu Yong coldly broke his illusion.

"Supreme! It's no longer time to think about this. The situation is so critical that there is no time to hesitate."

"Jingzhou's army is your force to intimidate all the disobedient forces in Yangzhou, and it is also the guarantee for the stability of Jianye. Now their entire army has been wiped out. If we don't make preparations as soon as possible, Yangzhou will be in chaos."

"At that time, Your Majesty, your enemies will not only be the Xishu family."

Gu Yong reminded Sun Quan at this time that the current situation had reached an unsustainable crisis.

In this battle for Yangzhou, Soochow lost at least half of its troops, most of which were die-hard troops loyal to his Sun family.

The impact of the lack of this military force is huge. The first of them is whether Sun Quan himself, the King of Wu, can still secure his throne.

You know, now there are not just one or two families in Yangzhou who disobey Sun Quan. Once word of the front's defeat spreads, opposition to him will increase exponentially.

Not to mention the anger of the families of those who died in the war, the protests of some wealthy families who lost their property... all of these had to be resolved by him as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, even if Xi Shu doesn't take action, Cao Wei in the north will be unable to bear it.

Until this time, Sun Quan suddenly realized that the situation had reached such a critical point in a very short period of time. The current situation of internal and external difficulties is not even much better than on the eve of the Battle of Chibi.

At that time, he still had Zhou Yu in front of him, but now, who else does he have?

"Please withdraw the remaining troops from Jiangling! No more Jingzhou!" Sun Quan smiled bitterly and his eyes returned to Qingming.

"Now that the situation has reached this point, it's all Gu's fault! But Gu won't give up just yet. The Sun family's legacy has been established for three generations, and Gu will definitely keep it even if he dies!"

"But now, Boyan, Ding Gong and others are all killed in the battlefield. The Wu army urgently needs a governor to take over. Does the Prime Minister have someone to choose?"

"Luo Tong can be of great use." Gu Yong recommended calmly.

"As for the other capable people, the Supreme Being has to ask others, and Gu dare not say anything."

Although Gu Yong was the talker of the local faction, his rise to power represented his loyalty to Sun Quan. Although the current situation is chaotic, Gu Yong does not think that Sun Quan should be betrayed at this time.

This can be regarded as the only comfort Sun Quan can get at the moment.

Subsequently, Sun Quan, at Gu Yong's suggestion, appointed Luo Tong as the new commander-in-chief and Zhuge Ke as his deputy, jointly responsible for commanding the Wu army. Their first task was to withdraw all the Wu troops from Jiangling and abandon all places except Xiakou.

Especially the Soochow navy, according to Sun Quan's instructions, except for some stationed in Xiakou to prevent the Han army from entering Yangzhou, the rest of the elite troops retreated to Jianye. He needs this force as a deterrent to quickly cut through the mess and deal with the opponents.

Under Sun Quan's instructions, Luo Tong took over Lu Xun's post, and Zhuge Ke took over Ding Feng's post. The two quickly entered Xiakou, and then received desperate news.

Jiangling has completely lost contact!

On Jiangling City, Ma Su stood on the city top with difficulty. Looking at the city head littered with corpses, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that I have to be better!"

In ten days, Ma Su led 20,000 people to attack in turns, and in the end he climbed first himself. As a result, because the top of the city was too high and the defenders were well prepared, he was the only one who finally climbed up to the top of the city.

Fortunately, he was slightly better. One man, together with several knives, cut down all the hundreds of people on the city head to the ground, and won the victory with difficulty.

The city was captured, and the Han army then surged onto the city like a tide. The defenders in the city had no time to retreat to the next city, and were eventually surrounded and annihilated by the Han army.

Since then, Jingzhou, the most difficult city to conquer, was captured by Ma Di. This also means that the entire eight counties of Jingzhou have been recovered so far!

"Hurry up and write a letter to tell the Prime Minister the good news... Forget it, prepare a horse for me, and I will go to Chang'an in person to tell the Prime Minister the good news!"

This is a novel written by a fellow fan, and it is also an anti-conventional novel about helping the Han Dynasty. Shuzhong would like to recommend it here.
