Under the city of Changsha, the Han army was lined with banners, swords and soldiers. After Liu Xun captured Ancheng and You County, he quickly returned to Changsha to prepare to destroy Han Xuan in one go.
Han Xuan has been reported, his powerful general Huang Zhong has surrendered, and his brother Han Hao and nephew Han Rong have also been killed on the battlefield. At present, there are only 10,000 remnants left in the city, and Changsha City is in jeopardy. Han Xuan pondered over and over again, preparing to surrender.
At this moment, the people in Changsha are in panic, and they are all afraid that the war will afflict themselves.
At this time, a carriage dangling along the avenue. Heading to the Prefectural Palace, it was unusually eye-catching.
At this moment, in front of the prefectural palace, although the gate was open, it was heavily guarded.
The soldiers looked around very alertly. I was a little wary of the carriage that drove over. If it hadn't been for the people who got on and off the carriage that were dressed up and dressed up and came over in an upright manner, I am afraid the soldiers would have already jumped on it.
"I also ask the sergeant to present this thing to the prefect Han Xuan." After the carriage stopped, his entourage stepped forward, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and dressed as the lieutenant colonel in front of the guard. Said the person.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Han Xuan is also a character, and the guard in front of the door is not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person. Seeing that this entourage solemnly handed the bamboo slips to himself. The school lieutenant replied cautiously, and reached out to take the bamboo slips. Then, with the bamboo slips in his hand, he walked into the Prefect.
It was the Su dynasty who came here. This Su dynasty was originally a big family in Xiangyang. Because of Liu Xun's remediation, his family moved to Changsha.
Han Xuan is thirty-five years old this year, wearing a crown on his head, and his face is white without beard. He is an orthodox Chinese doctor who can no longer be orthodox.
When the school lieutenant entered the hall, there was a trace of decadence hidden between Han Xuan's eyebrows, and he was thinking about how to hand over and surrender, so that he could appear to have a backbone and a good face.
"Lord. There are literati outside the city worshiping books." After Xiaowei entered the door, he passed the bamboo slips.
Literati worships books? Changsha County used to be relatively safe and healthy, and many literati chose to settle in Changsha. In normal times, literati would ask for meetings or worship books from time to time.
Han Xuan is also more intelligent, and assigns officials to officials according to their ability. But at this moment, when the Han army was approaching the city, Han Xuan was feeling bored and was about to retreat the soldiers, but his heart moved. If you export it, it's different.
"Submit." Han Xuan reached out and asked the soldiers to pass the bamboo slips.
"No." The lieutenant bent over and lowered his head, and handed the bamboo slips to Han Xuan.
Han Xuan took the opportunity and opened it, but his complexion changed slightly. Immediately, he put down the bamboo slips calmly. Raising his hand to the soldier said: "Please come in that gentleman."
"No." The soldier responded and retreated.
After the school lieutenant left, Han Xuan's heart was surging, because of the above sentence: "Su Dai of the Xiangyang clan, come and offer a strategy to destroy the enemy."
A few short words represent a thousand words. Han Xuan knew that Liu Xun was forced to emigrate to Changsha because of the miserable rectification of Su Dai. However, he is a big family after all, and he still has certain connections and prestige.
If this Su Dai came forward, perhaps Wuling could still have one or two foreign aids, such as Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang.
Someone may save themselves without surrendering. In Han Xuan's wireless reverie, Su Dai walked in.
"Su Dai has seen Han Taishou." Su Dai raised his fist to meet him. Han Xuan gave a secret compliment to that appearance and demeanor.
"Mr. Su, please sit down." Su Dai is a famous family in Xiangyang. Although Liu Xun was miserable, but the foundation still exists, so Han Xuan didn't dare to neglect at all, and bowed his hands back.
"You came just right. Now Liu Xun's Han soldiers are approaching the city, and the main force of our army has been wiped out by them. Now there are no reinforcements outside, and the existing forces are simply unable to resist. I am ready to surrender the city."
Han Xuan hurriedly told Su Dai of his thoughts, and wanted to hear his suggestions.
"The prefect finally broke away from Liu Biao's power and became a prince of one party. Now that the city surrenders, it will become a fish under the sword and be slaughtered by others."
Su Dai seemed to disagree with Han Xuan's idea of surrendering.
"Then what if you don't surrender now, after the city is broken, the situation will be even worse."
Han Xuan was very anxious, thinking that there was only one way out for him to surrender.
But Su Dai hated Liu Xun deeply, thinking of trying to make Liu Xun trouble, "Master, don't worry, I have a good plan to break the enemy."
"Oh, sir, please speak quickly."
Hope rekindled in Han Xuan's heart. Of course, he didn't want to surrender, as long as there was another way out.
"Liu Xun captured Wuling and Lingling counties last year. There were only a few thousand defenders left in these two counties, and their combat effectiveness was very weak. There is a tribe in the south of Wuling County called'Wuxi Man', we can promise With great advantage, let them attack Wuling. Zhao Fan of Guiyang County must also feel the pressure of Liu Xun. We can unite with him and let him send troops to attack Lingling. In this way, Liu Xun will certainly return to the division to rescue, Changsha Zhizhi The siege is bound to be lifted. The Changsha army can take advantage of the chance to attack the Han army.
Su Dai's strategy is clear and vicious, and he hates Liu Xun.
"Now Changsha City doesn't have much money to bribe the Fan King of Wuxi Man, how can they follow our advice to attack Wuling?"
Han Xuan expressed his concerns.
"Don't worry about the money, I can pay for the prefect, and pay me back later." Su Dai smiled slightly, and then said: "Besides, Wuxi Man suffered from bad weather this year and suffered from natural disasters, resulting in no harvest of particles. Now Wuling County There is a large amount of money and food in the village, just to induce the Man King to send troops to attack Wuling County."
"If I form an alliance with the barbarians, I have to bear infamy."
Han Xuan expressed his worries, and the orthodox thinking of the Han family made him worry a lot.
However, Su Dai didn't feel any pressure at all. He smiled and said, "Premier Han is too pedantic. Who is going to reason with you in the world of great controversy? At least Changsha City can be kept in this way. What is needed is not to formally ally with the barbarians, but to use them.
Su Dai's words immediately shocked Han Xuan's heart. Yes, solving the current dilemma is the most important thing. I can't manage that much.
"Well, if Mr. Su can help me withdraw from the enemy, I will never forget the kindness of Mr. Su."
Han Xuan got up and bowed to Su Dai. Now Su Dai's strategy is his only hope.
"I will not let the prefect down."
Su Dai smiled slightly, an evil smile, and now he finally had a chance to avenge Liu Xun, and the others were just pawns he used.
……
The city of Guiyang has a population of tens of thousands, and Zhao Fan took advantage of Liu Biao's inability to control Jingnan and became a prince from the prefect.
Because Zhao is a prominent family in Guiyang County, his roots in Guiyang are very solid, but his character is relatively weak.
When Zhao Fan received the letter from Changsha prefect Han Xuan and Su Dai, he hesitated. He knew that Wuling and Lingling counties had already fallen into Liu Xun's bag, and Changsha City was now an isolated city. After Liu Xun took the city of Changsha, his next target would definitely be Guiyang. However, if you send troops to attack Lingling openly, and you are afraid of angering Liu Xun and causing Guiyang to suffer early disasters, you will hesitate and hesitate.
So, Zhao Fan hurriedly summoned Chen Ying and Bao Long, a Lieutenant of Guanjun.
Both Chen Ying and Bao Long are Zhao Fan's confidants. Chen Ying was born as a small official, and was promoted step by step by Zhao Fan to become the master recorder, which won Zhao Fan's trust; Bao Long was born in Guiyang Lingshan Township, and was extremely brave and once shot Shuanghu. Zhao Fan admirably hired him as Guanjun Lieutenant.
"Master, this is an opportunity, we should seize it."
After reading the letters of Han Xuan and Su Dai, Lieutenant Guan Baolong said excitedly.
"Yeah, as the saying goes,'the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.' Liu Xun is very ambitious. If Changsha loses his hand, Guiyang will not be spared."
Chen Ying also agreed to send troops to help Han Xuan.
"Then can their strategy succeed? Will Liu Xun be defeated?"
Zhao Fan asked repeatedly, hesitating in his heart.
"Liu Xun will definitely be defeated. The Wuxi Man has at least 50,000 elite soldiers, which is very fierce. Besides, we are a three-way army, and we will be able to catch Liu Xun by surprise."
Seeing Zhao Fan hesitating, Lieutenant Guan Bao Long said quickly, his expression was as if he had no meat to eat when he was late.
"Wuximan has an army of 50,000, Changsha has 10,000, we have 30,000, a total of 90,000 horses. And Liu Xun has only 30,000 horses in total, and he has fought many battles, so he should be very tired. They are definitely not our coalition opponents."
The master book, Chen Ying, analyzed clearly one by one, and looked at the situation very clearly.
"It is impossible for our soldiers to be dispatched, and at most 10,000 troops."
Zhao Fan didn't want to be desperate, he was timid and cautious by nature, and he didn't dare to take too much steps.
"There are only three thousand defenders in Lingling City, and the defender is Liu Xian. These three thousand soldiers are all descendants of the original Lingling City. After simple training, they are left to defend Lingling City. Their combat effectiveness is very weak. What's more, Liu Xian is cowardly and not my opponent at all. As long as you give me 10,000 horses, you will be able to beat Lingling County."
The school lieutenant, Bao Long, relied on having shot Shuanghu, confident of his own strength, and looked down upon Liu Xian. He believes that it is easy to win Lingling.
"School Lieutenant Bao is extremely brave, and he can definitely succeed."
Chen Ying also thinks this battle is not a problem.
"If we can really win Lingling, our army will have two counties, and the city will be doubled. The population, money and land will be doubled, and the strength will be greatly increased."
Chen Ying and Bao Long's instigation made Zhao Fan's expression a little firmer, and he was full of confidence in this troop dispatch and had a dream.
"At that time, the lord can dominate Jingnan!"
Bao Long and Chen Ying complimented them one after another. They knew that Zhao Fan liked others to praise him, so they were very good at it, so they won Zhao Fan's trust.
"School Lieutenant Bao, order you to lead an army of 10,000 to Lingling and be sure to take it down as soon as possible."
Zhao Fan finally made up his mind to send troops to Lingling. To be on the safe side, he only gave Bao Long one-third of the troops.
……
Su Dai also rushed to Wuximan with a heavy gift, and Wuximan was also chaos frequently at this time...
