Chapter 2223 Zhou surrenders

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Cao Tiancheng surrendered with Lin Shihong's head, and the entire Lin Chu was completely destroyed.

    At this time, Huang Weiyang, who was located in Wanjialing, did not return to Yuzhang, but went north to Huancheng, joined forces with Chen Kedi, and made a posture of attacking Xiaoliang westward.

    At this time, Xiao Liang lost more than 100,000 troops, and the main army was almost wiped out. Of course, Huang Weiyang would not give Xiao Mian a chance to breathe.

    This time to counterattack, Huang Weiyang also prepared a two-way attack on Liang, taking the Yangtze River to the north to attack Jiangling, and the south to Yichun to attack Changsha, which was exactly the same as Xiao Liang's route to support Lin Chu.

    Huang Weiyang arrived at Huancheng and was about to attack westward. At this time, Zhou Faming, the general manager of Xiaoliang Huangzhou who controlled the four counties of Yong'an, Qichun, Mianyang and Jiangxia, sent an envoy to surrender to Huang Weiyang.

    Zhou Faming has a close relationship with Lao Huang's family. His elder brother is Huang Mingyuan's favorite navy general Zhou Fashang.  Zhou Fashang's son Zhou Shaofan also married Huang Mingyuan's sixth sister, and the two families were related by marriage.

    Zhou Faming was originally Zhen Dingling, but later took advantage of the chaos and fled back to his hometown to occupy Yong'an County.  The Zhou family was born in the Zhou family of Runan, a century-old prominent family, and their ancestors can be traced back to Zhou Ren, the Marquis of Rufen in the Western Han Dynasty.

    Therefore, after Zhou Faming occupied Yong'an County, he relied on his family's strength and prestige to send his sons Zhou Shaode, Zhou Xiaojie, and Zhou Shaoze to attack Qichun, Mianyang, and Jiangxia counties respectively, and separatist forces.  He first surrendered to Li Mi, and later surrendered to Xiao Xian, but only in name. The four counties were completely in his hands, and he was very powerful.

    There were nearly 120,000 households in the four counties and eighteen counties of Yong'an during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, which was a quarter more than the population of the entire seven counties of Jiangxi.  If Zhou Faming wanted to become the king and hegemony, he would probably be stronger than Lin Shihong.

    ???????????????? However, Zhou Faming is a man of great depth, good at forbearing and courageous in making decisions.  He knew that his strength was far from being able to establish a nation. Instead of claiming kingship, arrogance, and becoming a leader, it would be better to continuously manage territory and concentrate on accumulating strength.

    So Zhou Faming never stood out, and relied on whoever was stronger. So now he has 50,000 troops in the four counties of Yong'an, and he is divided into one side, and his life is better than anyone else.

    Xiao Mian wanted to annex Zhou Faming several times, but because Zhou Faming was extremely powerful, he never dared to take action.

    Zhou Faming has been growing up in Yong'an County. It's not that he has never thought of surrendering to the Sui Dynasty in the north. He just wants to sell himself at a good price and at least use Xiao Mian's blood to gain a future for himself, so he has been waiting for the opportunity.

    But the good time didn¡¯t come, Huang Weiyang arrived first.

    When the news came that Huang Weiyang had defeated Zhang Xiu, Zhou Faming knew it was not good.

    The Four Counties of Yong'an are adjacent to the Counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang. If Huang Weiyang continues to attack Jiangling westward, his first target will be the Four Counties of Yong'an.

    This is not in line with Zhou Faming¡¯s expectations.

    Faced with this situation, Zhou Faming was determined to surrender to Huang Weiyang.  However, his power is not small, with tens of thousands of troops, and it feels a little uncomfortable to surrender like this.

    In fact, when he switched from Li Mi to Xiao Mian, many people advised Zhou Faming to surrender to Huang Mingyuan. No matter how you look at it, Huang Mingli is much more reliable than Xiao Mian, but in the end Zhou Faming didn't listen.  This time x inding*dia nx s w.com Zhang Si

    Because apart from Huang Mingyuan and Xiao Xianjin, there is another very important point. The relationship between Zhou Faming and Huang Mingyuan is very bad.

    The Zhou family has a very close relationship with Huang Mingyuan, but it is limited to Zhou Fashang's branch.  Huang Mingyuan felt that Zhou Faming was a man of the people, a double-dealer, and without any sense of loyalty. Once he was reused, he would betray him at some point. Therefore, Zhou Faming sought to be transferred from the Zhen Ding Order to become the prefect or county magistrate of a county. Huang Mingyuan  No help was given.

    This irritated Zhou Faming. Look at Duan Wenzhen's younger brother Duan Wenchao, who has been promoted step by step under the protection of Huang Mingyuan. The two families are both related by marriage, so there is such a big gap.

    Zhou Faming had a grudge against Huang Mingyuan, so after Zhou Faming returned to his hometown to rebel, he established a good business, but he would rather fall to Li Mi and Xiao Xian than surrender to Huang Mingyuan immediately.

    But nowadays, people are bound to be strong, and their spine is far less important than their neck.

    Zhou Shaode, the eldest son of Zhou Fashang, didn't understand why his father resented Duke Wei so much. The Sui army was about to attack the city, so it was nothing to argue with him.

    "However, Zhou Shaode is older and is more reserved in persuading his father, while his younger son Zhou Shao is more direct.

    "Aye, the seventh brother (Zhou Shaofan) has written to my father many times to persuade him, saying that Duke Wei is also willing to treat him as the governor of Jiangxia and allows my family to take over the four counties of Yong'an. With such good conditions, why hesitate anymore."

    Zhou Faming was pressed hard by his son, and then he said: "Huang Mingyuan is a man who is generous on the outside but jealous on the inside. He was originally dissatisfied with me, so he surrendered. You and I, father and son, may not have a chance to succeed."

    "But the Sui army is about to approach the city."

    ? Zhang Xiu¡¯s reputation, Huang WeiyangPeople like Ou Yan and others who have seen big scenes may not care, but in the eyes of Zhou Faming and others, Zhang Xiu is a great figure. In terms of military capabilities, he can dominate Jiangnan and is definitely not an exaggeration.  Otherwise, Zhang Xiu's original boss Dong Jingzhen could watch Zhang Xiu take away the military power because he couldn't defeat the opponent.

    Such a figure, leading an army of hundreds of thousands, was defeated and captured after only a few steps in Huang Weiyang's hands. One can imagine how cruel Huang Weiyang was.

    At this time, Zhou Shaode said: "After all, my Zhou family has tens of thousands of troops and controls four counties and eighteen counties. We also have seven younger brothers to support us. As long as my family has no objections, it will not be easy for Duke Wei to attack our family."  thing."

    Seeing that several of his sons wanted to surrender, Zhou Faming was really not sure that he could resist Huang Weiyang, so he had to say with some dejection: "Since you brothers all think it is appropriate to surrender, then let's surrender."

    The Zhou family and his son decided to surrender, but they were not idle.

    Although Zhou Faming occupied the four counties of Yong'an, the two most fertile counties of Anlu and Jingling in the entire Jianghan region were not in his hands.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#120&#105&#110&#100&#105&#110&#103&#100&#105&#97&#110&#120&#115&#119&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#2930 6

    Especially Anlu County, which governs eight counties, has a maximum population of nearly 70,000 households.  Moreover, Anlu County penetrated deep into the hinterland of Zhou Faming's territory, and Henan County and Baling County surrounded Mianyang County, which had the largest population among Zhou Faming's forces.  Once Zhou Faming rebels and Xiao Liang's army attacks in three directions, Mianyang County will never be able to defend it.  But after losing Mianyang County, Xiao Liang's knife was thrust into Zhou Faming's stomach.

    And even if the Sui army can come to the rescue in time, the lost territory will probably fall into the hands of the Sui army and they will not be able to return to the Zhou family.

    So Zhou Faming decided to attack Anzhou (Anlu County) on one side first.

    After Xiao Mian occupied Anlu County, he changed Anlu County to Anzhou and appointed General Ma Guiqian as the general manager of Anzhou.  Zhi Da Zhi Xiao

    Since Ma Guiqian became the general manager of Anzhou, Zhou Faming has been on good terms with him and deliberately flattered him, so Ma Guiqian has always been unprepared for him.

    Zhou Faming personally led a large army and raided Anlu. Ma Guiqian was unprepared. Anlu city was destroyed and Ma Guiqian was captured alive.

    After Zhou Faming occupied Anlu County, he eliminated the threat from Liang Jun's flanks, and then ordered his people to go to Huancheng and Hebei to surrender to the Sui army
