Chapter 1013

On the surface of the river near Chaisang City, the mighty Xiliang Navy warships, chopping waves and chopping waves, are the main force of the Xiliang Navy led by Gao Chong, while the main force of Nanyang army of Zhang jaw is also on the top, slowly coming towards Chaisang city.

"Keep a close watch, we have reached the enemy's hinterland, and guard against the enemy Navy!"

After Gao Chong's command was passed on, hundreds of Navy warships were immediately ready for battle. This water area was very close to Chaisang, and Cao Jun's Navy warships might appear at any time.

Ding Feng, Wen pin, Zhu Huan and other Navy generals all led their troops to prepare for the arrival of Cao's navy. As a result, when they arrived at the port, no Cao warship was found.

"It's strange, what did Cao's army think, just watching our army land without sending warships?" Zhang jaw strange strange way.

"The strength of the enemy Navy is weaker than that of our army. Maybe they want to rely on Chai Sangjian city to resist, and the infantry and navy may cooperate with each other." Gao Chong infers.

"Well, in this case, Cao's navy will be handed over to commander Gao, who will lead his soldiers to attack the city."

"The mariner came to the shore and sent the soldiers up."

Hundreds of Navy warships landed at Lukou port one after another, and sent tens of thousands of Nanyang soldiers to shore. After landing from Lukou port, you can directly arrive at Chaisang city by rushing eastward for more than 100 li.

"The whole army marches eastward, targeting Chaisang city!"

The Nanyang army has been on board these days, full of physical strength and self-sufficiency, and immediately marched eastward towards Chaisang city. In less than half a day, Chai sang city had appeared in front of Nanyang army.

"Ready to attack... Wait!"

Zhang jaw originally planned to cut down trees immediately to make siege equipment, and then immediately attack Chaisang city. However, there was something wrong with Chaisang city. Although there was still a flag with the character of Cao flying away with the wind, there was no sign of half the garrison on the top of the city, which made people feel puzzled.

"General of the south, will the enemy force be so suspicious that they will ambush in the city?" Li Yan asked.

"It's possible that we should not be rash."

Zhang jaw motioned for the whole army to calm down. He ran forward and yelled: "I am the governor of Nanyang. The general Zhang jaw of the imperial court's expedition to the south is Zhang jaw. The enemy should not be hypocritical and come out quickly!"

"Is it Wang Shi outside the city?"

A man's head suddenly came out of the top of the city, fearing his head and tail.

"Good! Who are you, who are you

"The villain is the Prime Minister of Chaisang county." After Cao's army occupied Jiangdong, in order to stabilize its rule, the general civil servants were appointed to the local aristocratic families, but the military power still had to be firmly controlled by Cao's army.

"The general's expedition? That's not necessary. The thief Cao has already escaped. Now Chaisang is an empty city! " Exclaimed the county magistrate.

"Then you order people to open the four gates, quick!" Zhang jaw still suspected the enemy, so he set up a suspicious array and refused to believe it.

"Here, general, just a moment."

After a while, the four gates opened slowly, and a big hand waved: "the whole army must be careful when entering the city from all sides. Once the enemy is found, withdraw immediately."

"Here it is

Tens of thousands of Nanyang troops entered from the four sides of the city gate, but they did not encounter any resistance and entered it safely.

"To be honest with the general, Cao Xiu and Cao Ren had already led the army and water forces to the north a few days ago and gave up Chaisang." County Cheng is careful to smile.

"Going north, are you sure they are going north, not going east?" How could Cao Jun give up so easily?

"Yes, Cao Jun has gone north. It seems that he has gone to Huainan." County Cheng's heart is small.

"Well, Ben will see. You go out." Zhang jaw waved his hand and said, "please come in, commander Gao."

After finishing the water army affairs, Gao Chong walked into the county yamen: "General Zhang, what can I do for you?"

"Governor Gao, the situation is like this..."

Zhang jaw explained to Gao Chong again what he had just said.

"So the six counties in Jiangdong are an empty city at the moment, and our army can easily get it. This is really good news." Gao Chong excitedly said: "in this way, the whole south of the Yangtze River will fall into the hands of our army."

"Well, didn't Duke Qin make Sun Quan Marquis of Wu? Our army can take Sun Quan as an example, so that the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River will surely fall in the wind. " Zhang suggested.

After Sun Quan surrendered, Liu Ye immediately asked the emperor to make him the Marquis of Wu. This is the county magistrate and the highest honor of a meritorious official. In this way, Sun Quan has become a living example. Have the six counties in Jiangdong surrender one after another?

"By the way, Zhu Huan in our camp is one of Zhu Lu Gu Zhang, one of the four gentry families in Jiangdong. Now he is also worshipped as a general under my account, which is also a good example." Gao Chong added.

"Ha ha ha, OK. In this way, the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River will be won without fighting. Ha ha ha." Zhang jaw laughs.They immediately send a letter to Liu Ye, asking him to give them the official posts of the six counties in Jiangdong to support the rule of the Xiliang army. Liu Ye readily agrees and sends Sun Quan to Jiangdong as a living example.

With Sun Quan and Zhu Huan as examples, many gentry and gentry in Jiangdong six prefectures followed suit. This is the best result. We should know that each of these gentry has hundreds or even thousands of private soldiers, which together are a large armed force. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous rebellion of Wang Dun, Shen Chong of the three Wu families expressed support for Wang dun. As a result, nearly ten thousand private soldiers were pulled out in one breath, which shows the prosperity of these aristocratic families.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the imperial court had almost no dignity to speak of, just as the saying goes, "the king and the horse share the world", "Xie and the horse share the world". The imperial court of Sima had to rely on these aristocratic families to exist. Although the Shizu had not grown up to the level of the aristocratic families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, their strength was not small.

Seeing that Sun Quan and Zhu Huan had been given such generous rewards, they did not want to confront the Xiliang army, so they chose to surrender. From then on, the southern part of the Yangtze River became a whole area, and all became the territory of the Xiliang army.

"Bo'an, should our army point to Huainan next, and go north to Chaohu to compete with Cao's army for Huainan?"

In Jianye City, Zhang jaw is in favor of Gao Chong.

The news of the defeat of the Yuzhou army in Hefei has also been spread to the Zhang jaw army. Therefore, Zhang Xi is ready to take advantage of the situation and lead the army northward to form an angle with Liu Bei, and eliminate the Cao army in Huainan area with overwhelming force.

Gao Chong shook his head and said, "I have another plan."
