Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 924

Chapter 924

“Speed ​​up the march, and be sure to arrive in Duliang County before sunset today!” Huang Zhong, riding on horseback, shouted to the soldiers behind him.

I saw that above the official road, several rows of Jingzhou soldiers marched mightily on the road. They were Wuling soldiers under Liu Pan’s command.

Since formulating a new strategy, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong have been unscrupulous, and led more than 10,000 Wuling troops unscrupulously all the way south, from Wuling County directly to Lingling County, aggressively, and their soldiers directed towards the capital west of Lingling County. Liang County.

If it is in peacetime, marching battles are actually impossible to be so blatant. They will generally be cautious and even take the initiative to cover up the news, in order to reduce the enemy’s attention and attack the city as soon as possible before the enemy’s reinforcements arrive.

However, today is not the same as before. Liu Pan and Gao Chongbing split into two groups, each from Lingling and Changsha to Sun Quan. The Jiangdong Army is stretched out. What is there to be afraid of?

“Detective sent to Duliang County to find out, go back quickly!” Liu Pan shouted again.

Seeing Liu Pan’s arrogant appearance, Huang Zhong couldn’t help but remind him: “It’s better to be more careful about public power. I heard that Zhou Gongjin has returned to control the military power. This person’s ability to command the army is extraordinary. “

After hearing Huang Zhong’s words, Liu Pan smiled and said, “It’s okay, Brother Han Sheng, even if Zhou Yu is alive, Sun Wufusheng, now my two armies are advancing together, what can he do?”

Huang Zhong wanted to persuade again. At this moment, a detective in front of him ran back on horseback and said loudly to Liu Pan: “General! The direction of Duliang County found that the Jiangdong Army was rushing towards the county seat, with a strength of about 10,000. about!”

“Oh?”

Liu Pan became excited: “What banner is the enemy fighting?”

“Zhou Ziqihao.”

“Hmph, it seems that Zhou Yu came in person, this time I want to see what he can do.” Liu Pan sneered.

Huang Zhong stepped forward, for fear that Liu Pan would underestimate the enemy, so he preemptively said: “Public power, it is better for me to lead the forward army to kill Duliang County and fight Zhou Yu.”

Liu Pan pondered for a while, and said, “Also, Brother Han Sheng is a veteran, and will surely be able to compete with Zhou Yu, so I will send five thousand troops to Brother Han Sheng.”

“Here!”

After all, Huang Zhong divided the five thousand soldiers, led the five thousand people, speeded up all the way towards Duliang County, and just happened to collide head-on with another detective.

“stop!”

Huang Zhong stopped to ride, and slammed his horse and asked, “How far is Zhou Yu’s army? Has it already been stationed in Duliang City?”

“General Huang, not only did Zhou Yu not lead his army into the city, but he opened Duliang City and took away all the soldiers, horses, food and grass in the city. Now the gate of Duliang City is wide open. I don’t know what to do next, so I rushed. Report to the old general.” The detective replied.

“Huh?” Huang Zhong couldn’t help being stunned when he heard the words, then his expression was strange, what exactly did Zhou Yu have this idea…

“It doesn’t matter, go ahead at full speed, first come to Liangcheng and talk about it, fast!”

With a wave of his hand, Huang Zhong led the five thousand Wuling Army to speed up and rushed towards Duliang City.

Five thousand vanguard troops arrived under Duliang City non-stop. Huang Zhong took a closer look and saw that the gate of Duliang City was really open, and there was not even a soldier above the city. It seemed that it was really completely emptied.

“Huh?” Huang Zhong was puzzled.

The soldier on the side suggested: “Old general, this may be the enemy’s trick to lure the enemy. Maybe the enemy has set up an ambush in the city. As soon as we enter, the enemy will immediately attack our army. How about waiting until Liu Lang leads the follow-up reinforcements to make a decision?”

Huang Zhong immediately sneered: “Our army’s five thousand pioneers are here, so scared by the enemy’s empty city?”

“I will personally select two thousand sharp soldiers to enter the city, and you will wait to set up an array outside the city. If there is an enemy army coming, you should guard against it and send people to General Liu for help, you know?”

After Huang Zhong confessed, he led two thousand sharp soldiers into the empty city.

As a large state in the south of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou was naturally sparsely populated and underdeveloped. The Nanyang and Nanjun counties in the north were relatively better, but the development of the four Jingnan counties was far from insufficient. It is not where the county is located, it is naturally sparsely populated.

After Huang Zhong led the soldiers in, there was still no movement in the city. After searching the city back and forth with his soldiers and horses, he still found nothing, and finally had to kill out of the city with a little doubt. .

“Brother Han Sheng! Can you find anything in the city?”

Huang Zhong had just led two thousand sharp soldiers out and found that Liu Pan had led the follow-up reinforcements to arrive, and asked Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong shook his head: “No, Zhou Yu seems to have really emptied all the soldiers, horses, grain and grass in Duliang City, and then fled.”

“Oh? Hahahaha!”

Liu Pan couldn’t help laughing when he heard this: “What a hero I am when Zhou Yu is, it turns out that I am just a coward like a mouse.”

“Soldiers, did you hear that? This is Zhou Yu’s child, hahaha!”

“Hahaha!”

Hearing Liu Pan’s words, the Wuling soldiers couldn’t help laughing, but Huang Zhong still looked cautious.

“Public rights, Zhou Yu may want to fortify the walls and clear the country, collect soldiers, horses, and grain and grass, and then choose Jiancheng to resist our army.” Huang Zhongdao: “The army he led is clearly equal to our army, but he took the initiative to stay. All the soldiers, horses, grain and grass were removed, I’m afraid that’s why.”

Liu Pan laughed and said: “What are you afraid of? Then Zhou Yu took the initiative to evade our army. This shows that we have already lost our spirit. Our army pressed harder and pushed the enemy until it was impossible to retreat, and then let it fight our army. Isn’t that right? If Zhou Yu avoids fighting and retreats all the way to Guiyang, our army will take down Lingling and join the Gaodu Governor in Guiyang County, wouldn’t it be beautiful?”

Although Huang Zhong felt that it was not that simple, he also felt that Liu Pan had some truth in what he said, so he nodded: “Well, as long as our army fights steadily, I believe the enemy can do nothing about our army.”

In fact, before the battle of Chibi burned the serial ship and defeated Cao Cao, Zhou Yu’s popularity was far from that high, so it is understandable that Liu Pan did not pay much attention to Zhou Yu. On the contrary, Liu Pan paid more attention not to Zhou Yu, but to Tai Shi Ci, general of the Jiangdong Army, because Sun Ce once appointed Tai Shi Ci as the captain of Jianchang to contend with Liu Pan.

Ever since, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong took a rest in Duliang City, and left three hundred soldiers and horses to guard the city. At the same time, they served as a place for food and grass transportation. Then they led close to 12,000 Wuling troops to continue. Marching eastward, marching in the direction of Fuyi, Liu Pan eagerly hopes to fight Zhou Yu’s main force.
