Five hundred and fourteen things are not over
On September 20, Gao Lan and Yan Liang led their troops to Jiangdu and met with Zhang Liao.
As we arrived all the way, Gao Lan and Yan Liang became more anxious and worried when they saw the messy land.
I was afraid that Guo Peng would be held accountable and would lose his merit because he lost the main prisoner. Not only did he not have any merit, but he would also be questioned.
Now, seeing Zhang Liao leading his troops to siege Jiangdu City, their hearts, hanging in their throats, finally returned to their stomachs.
"Zhang Zhennan."
The two of them were under the military position of Wei State under Zhang Liao, and Guo Peng's army is accustomed to referring to the military position of Wei State rather than the official position of Han Dynasty. When they saw Zhang Liao, they consciously saluted.
Zhang Liao nodded, and then communicated with them about the military intelligence they had.
So Zhang Liao learned about a series of events that had happened before.
"Chen Yuanlong and Mi Zifang are both dead? This..."
Even though Zhang Liao was very calm, he was difficult to accept the sudden occurrence of such a thing, especially Mi Fang, who could barely be considered Guo Peng's brother-in-law.
My brother-in-law died at the hands of the Danyang soldiers. If Zhang Liao had not arrived in time before and blocked the people, I am afraid that Guo Peng would be able to lead his troops to Jiangdong directly.
Guo Peng should do this in terms of emotion and reason.
Although these people have been surrounded in Jiangdu City, Mi Fang is indeed dead, and many of the Mi clans who followed Mi Fang to fight were also dead.
Mrs. Mi gave birth to a son for Guo Peng. She was pregnant before. She was about to give birth and was second only to Cao Lan in Guo Peng's family.
Mi made a lot of contributions to Guo Peng. Now the family members have damaged a lot, which makes Zhang Liao feel a little embarrassed. He doesn't know what Guo Peng will do.
But only now, they must take down Jiangdu, seize Tao Qian's remaining troops in the city, and then hand it over to Guo Peng.
Zhang Liao and Gao Lan and Yan Liang joined forces, and a large army attacked, and 10,000 troops besieged the damaged Jiangdu City from all sides.
The destruction became more and more intense, and the offensive and defensive battle became more and more severe. The Danyang soldiers were unable to succeed, but they were still attacked by the Wei army and fought closely together.
The Danyang soldiers who had killed invincible forces in all directions before were defeated after encountering the Wei army, which was like a wall of iron. They faced the battle head-on, but were still defeated through a city wall.
The Danyang soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and the Wei army fiercely broke into the city.
Suddenly, the city gate opened, Zhang Liao waved his hand, Gao Lan and Yan Liang, with the cavalry, roared into the horse, and Jiangdu City was broken.
The battle didn't take long from the beginning to the end, and the Danyang soldiers' plan to return to the south failed.
Countless soldiers were killed or surrendered in the city, and none escaped from it.
Tao Shang was captured alive, Cao Bao died in battle, Cao Hong was trampled to death by a war horse in the chaos, and Zuo Rong was captured alive, and the endings of several leaders of the Danyang Group were not good.
The Danyang soldiers, who Tao Qian, who was his basic base and power pillar, ended.
What made Zhang Liao feel strange was that the Tao Shang was not caught by the Wei army, but by the Su Rong.
Zuo Rong caught Tao merchant and came to Wei Jun to surrender. He was holding Tao Ying's head in his hand and said that he would surrender to Wei no matter what.
In order to show his sincerity to Mr. Wei, Zurong tried his best to capture the two brothers Tao Ying of Tao. Tao Ying fought desperately and was killed by Zurong, while Tao Rong was captured alive.
Zuo Rong looked at Zhang Liao with a flattering face and tried to get preferential treatment, but Zhang Liao was very cold to him and ordered the army to take him under custody and then handed him over to Guo Peng for disposal.
This man killed Mi Fang and Chen Deng, and Zhang Liao already knew about this.
So how to deal with this matter is not a difficult problem, just leave it to Guo Peng.
Since what happened in Xuzhou was beyond everyone's expectations, although Zhang Liao completed his strategic goal and completely solved Tao Qian's remaining troops, the matter was not over.
The rampant army of Danyang brought about a large number of refugees, Xiapi County and Guangling County were in ruins, and Langya County and Pengcheng County also caused some chaos in order due to the mobilization and rebellion. Yu Jin and Chen Gong also killed more than 40,000 local tyrants and organized the "rebel army", so the order in Xuzhou was in chaos.
After the war, Xuzhou leader Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son died unexpectedly, and Mi Fang also died, and the powerful clan suffered heavy losses.
Many areas in Xuzhou have fallen into a certain degree of chaos because of this. Xuzhou, which could have been pacified with only more than 20,000 troops, is now a different problem.
It was the end of September when Guo Peng learned the news. At that time, Mi Zhen and the sisters of Daqiao gave birth to their children. Mi Zhen and Daqiao both gave birth to daughters, while Xiaoqiao gave birth to a son, which made Qiao Rui very happy. Guo Peng was naturally very happy.
So after learning that something unexpected happened in Xuzhou, Guo Peng was still a little unbelievable.
But it really happened.
The Danyang soldiers unexpectedly advanced and went south all the way, not only killing Chen Deng and Mi Fang, but also messing up Xiapi County and Guangling County.
Yu Jin and Chen Gong led their troops to wipe out the rebel army organized by the powerful Xuzhou, and this misunderstanding was unimaginable.
This means that after this battle, Xuzhou's local forces suffered heavy losses, and the five counties fell into a certain degree of chaos. The chaos in Xia Pi and Guangling was the most serious, followed by Donghai County.
The report Yu Jin wrote to Guo Peng shows that 20,000 troops cannot control the situation now. Zhang Liao mobilized troops in Guangling County to the south to maintain the situation. He hoped that Guo Peng would send another 20,000 troops to help maintain the situation.
Guo Peng thought for a while and felt that Yu Jin was right, so he immediately ordered Cao Hong and Guan Yu to lead an army of 20,000 to Xuzhou, first positioning Xuzhou under the state of military control, and then slowly restore order and start reconstruction.
Xuzhou did take it, and no casualties were paid. The Wei army's war losses totaled not more than one thousand people, but the Xuzhou people suffered heavy losses, and there were countless displaced people.
More importantly, the Chen family, as the leader of the gentry, was slaughtered, Chen Gui died, Chen Deng died, and his two brothers died, and died under the butcher knife of Zuo Rong.
This made Guo Peng's pre-selected candidate for Xuzhou governor disappear. Apart from Chen Deng, Guo Peng could not find a suitable candidate for Xuzhou governor for the time being.
This is a very surprising one.
Guo Peng also found it very surprising that Mi Fang's death and the heavy damage to the Mi clan were hit.
Mi family has always been an important helper for him to control Xuzhou. Now that Mi family's power has declined greatly, the Chen family, who is willing to cooperate, has also been destroyed. Xuzhou's political situation will face a period of turmoil.
So Chen Gong wrote to Guo Peng, suggesting that Guo Peng come to Xuzhou in person to calm people's hearts and select outstanding and trustworthy talents to serve as the governor of Xuzhou, so as to gain the trust of Xuzhou people.
This is enough to get the cooperation of Xuzhou people, and to stabilize Xuzhou as soon as possible, so that development can be discussed.
