Gan Ning and Zhang Nan led 200 warships and 10,000 troops. After arriving in Yuzhang, they did not rush to attack the city. Instead, they asked the soldiers to beat the war drums loudly and shout loudly to kill.
Yuzhang is almost an empty city, but the Wuhou Mansion is here, and almost all the important officials in Jiangdong are here. If we are pressed hard, the guards, soldiers and people in the city will fight to the death, and it will not be easy to capture it. What's more, the purpose of their trip was to frighten Sun Quan and force him to withdraw his troops, not to occupy Yuzhang.
Zhou Yu can give up Chaisang, but he will never give up Yuzhang. Therefore, even if he takes it, he cannot hold it.
Sure enough, under the pressure of this power, Sun Quan and Jiangdong officials did not dare to take the risk and chose to evacuate Yuzhang.
When Zhang Nan and Gan Ning led the army to the outside of Yuzhang City, the city gate was wide open and there were no soldiers visible on the top of the city. Without the generals and officials, who of the soldiers would stay at the top of the city and die?
"Wen Jin, after entering the city, take away all the property of the Wuhou Mansion, officials and the families who escaped!" Gan Ning ordered Zhang Nan.
"General, is this appropriate?" Zhang Nan hesitated, "The Lord ordered that no robbery be allowed!"
"Ha" Gan Ning burst into laughter, "Our Han army has done nothing wrong to the people, and we have not killed prisoners indiscriminately. But now that Sun Quan and those officials have escaped, if these properties are not taken away, the people in the city will be confused." If you rob, there will inevitably be a fight with weapons and casualties, which is what the lord does not want to see. Therefore, in order to protect the people, we must take those properties away!"
Gan Ning gave a high-sounding reason, which made Zhang Nan dumbfounded. However, when he thought about it, it still made some sense. When the Jinfan thieves were rampaging across the Yangtze River, they were very particular about being a thief. Now it seems that they are indeed worthy of their name!
So according to Gan Ning's order, the soldiers gained a lot this time. The officials and their families left in a hurry without taking anything with them. After the servants of the family heard the news that the Han army had entered the city, they all hid in the homes of nearby people. Because they knew that the Han army did nothing to the people, but they naturally didn't know what they did to the officials. The two sides fought, and Sun Quan took the initiative to tear up the alliance. From this aspect, the Han generals should hate Sun Quan and those officials very much.
Money, cloth, food, weapons, and even the paper and new books produced in Jingzhou were all swept away. Two hours later, everyone walked out of the city gate and returned to the warship with a lot of loot.
Looking at these things, Gan Ning was very satisfied. This was much more than what he had plundered when he was a Jinfan thief. With these, he will be more confident in guarding Chaisang in the future.
"General, what should we do now?"
"The order given to us by the Prefectural Mufu is to attack Jiangdong and force Sun Quan to withdraw! Taking Chaisang did not force Zhou Yu to retreat. Now that Sun Quan has withdrawn, we are chasing along the river. I don't believe that Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others dare to do it. Regardless of Sun Quan¡¯s safety!¡±
"good!"
So Gan Ning and Zhang Nan led their respective fleets, keeping a distance of five miles between the two fleets, and sailed down the Yangtze River.
Two days later, Sun Quan withdrew to Jianye. He just stopped, took a breath, and was about to rest, when Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong came in panic again.
"My lordmy lord, it's not good"
"Youwhat's the matter?" Sun Quan was already afraid of hearing this.
"Gan Ning led his army down the river and caught up. He was already less than ten miles away from Jianye!"
"Thisthiswhat are theygoing to do?"
"My lord, from the perspective of my subordinates, Gan Ning's purpose this time is probably to be detrimental to my lord!" Zhang Zhao said worriedly.
"Lu Meng, where are Lu Su and the others? There is also Zhou Yu, who has a lot of troops. Why don't you come to relieve the siege?" Sun Quan was flustered and angry.
¡°It¡¯s hard to quench the thirst of people from far away. My subordinates have ordered them to withdraw their troops as soon as possible. But now, I¡¯m afraid Jianye can¡¯t stay any longer!¡±
"What should we do?"
"The only option is to retreat to Wu County!"
"Okay, evacuate to Wu County quickly!"
At the Governor's Mansion in Changsha City, Lu Meng has also been a little busy recently. The four counties of Jingnan were captured without bloodshed, but such a large area as the four counties of Jingnan was empty.
The officials all evacuated, and even the people evacuated. What¡¯s the point of occupying a place without people?
Later, it was Taishi Ci who came up with an idea. When Zhuge Jin conquered Shanyue, he captured many Shanyue people and soldiers. It just happened that the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers and people could be moved to the four counties of Jingnan, so that the land here would not be barren. ???. And in more than ten years, it can become an important source of troops in Jiangdong.
So L¨¹ Meng immediately wrote to Sun Quan to inform him of the incident. Sun Quan quickly asked Zhang Zhao and others to move hundreds of thousands of people to the four counties in Jingnan, which made Lu Meng busy again.
Fortunately, some officials came and helped a lot, and now we finally have a clue.
"GeneralGeneral, something bad has happened!" Lu Meng was processing official documents in the prefect's mansion when Tai Shici ran in in a panic.
"Ziyi, what happened?" Lu Meng asked hurriedly.
"General, Gan Ning is leading the Jingzhou navy and is approaching Yuzhang. The lord sends an order to withdraw the troops quickly to relieve the siege!"
"What?" Lu Meng was stunned when he heard this.
"General, my lord has given me an urgent order to withdraw our troops as soon as possible!"
"Quick, quick, rectify the troops, horses, and warships!" Lu Meng finally reacted.
"No!"
Lu Meng¡¯s troops and horses are now scattered everywhere.
Since the fall of Chaisang, Taishi Ci has been clamoring to withdraw his troops. What he paid attention to was Sun Ce's wife Da Qiao and his son Sun Shao. The people who initially supported Sun Shao in inheriting Jiangdong's hegemony were Taishi Ci. Unfortunately, Zhou Yu favored Sun Quan in the end, so he had to give up.
When Da Qiao and Sun Shao fell to their enemies, Tai Shi Ci was most anxious and was always paying attention to Gan Ning's movements. Therefore, he was the first to get the news that Yuzhang was attacked.
But Ding Feng was in Lingling and Xu Sheng was in Wuling. It took one day for the two of them to bring their troops to Changsha. After another half day of rectification, they took a warship and headed for Yuzhang.
It¡¯s not far from Changsha to Yuzhang by waterway. When it was getting dark, the warship docked. Lu Meng led his army to the outside of the city without stopping, and found that there was no one on top of the city and the city gate was wide open.
"This Lord, could it be" Lu Meng had a bad feeling in his heart.
"General, there are no traces of fighting at the top of the city!" Ding Feng looked around and said, "My lord may have withdrawn. Let the general lead a team of soldiers and horses into the city to take a look!"
"Okay, Chengyuan, you lead two thousand soldiers and horses into the city, be more careful in case Gan Ning ambush!"
"No!"
Less than half an hour later, Ding Feng came back.
"General, the lord has withdrawn, but"
"But what?"
"But Gan Ning led a large army of soldiers and horses, and they did not stop in Yuzhang City. They were already chasing down the Yangtze River!"
"What?" Lu Meng was shocked. Sun Quan retreated. There must not be many soldiers around him. If he was caught up, how could he be Gan Ning's opponent? "Quick march quickly to protect the Lord!"
