Eight hundred and seventy-seven war without suspense
When Wu Ban got the news about Wu Yi, it was already mid-May. At this time, he and Gan Ning had a considerable battle loss ratio, and both sides were a little tired.
So Wu Ban simply retreated his troops and retreated to Quren County to garrison. Before leaving, he handed Liu Zhang's letter to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was relieved when he saw Wu Ban retreating and sent someone to report the news.
Of course, the person who saw this letter was not Liu Cong. Liu Cong knew nothing now. He was being delayed by a lot of boring government affairs and blocked all sources of information by people around him. He saw that the letter was Kuai Yue and Cai Mao.
"At this point, Liu Jiyu is still having fantasies. It seems that he really feels that he can resist Emperor Wei's army by relying on the terrain of Yizhou."
Kuai Yue sneered, ignited Liu Zhang's letter and burned it.
"What are you going to do? Once the Wei army comes, will we surrender or not?"
"Submission is definitely going to surrender, but Jingzhou is not the only one who wants to surrender. Huang Zu will definitely not surrender, Han Song will not surrender, and people like Wang Wei and Su Fei may not surrender. These people have soldiers and power and are not small. If we rashly surrender, they may not agree."
Kuai Yue thought deeply: "And this is not the first time Han Song has come to ask me about the trends of the Wei army in Nanyang these days. Huang Zu has repeatedly sent people to Jiangling to test the truth and reality. I feel that we can't hide this news anymore. Now it's not far from the day when Emperor Wei takes action. We have to make these people lose confidence in resisting."
"I will definitely not guard Nanyang and Xiangyang with Zhang Yun. Once the emperor's soldiers arrive, we will inevitably surrender to the city. The emperor's soldiers will quickly advance to the front line of Xiangyang and enter Nanjun directly. Jingzhou will be defeated in a situation of mountain defeat. At that time, I guess they are unwilling to surrender, and they have to surrender, right?"
After Cai Mao said this, Kuai Yue nodded.
"This is a reasonable thing. Under the general trend, no matter how unwilling you, you probably won't regard the survival of the family as a trivial matter. At that time, they will not be unwilling. Just like that, Huang Zu will definitely die. Others may be saved, so... what about His Highness, the King of Chu?"
Kuai Yue looked at Cai Mao: "And Madam Cai, Degui, what are you going to do? Madam Cai is your sister. If His Majesty the World asks them to go to Luoyang, would you... willing?"
Cai Mao pursed his lips and was silent for a while.
"With Meng De in Luoyang, I don't worry about these things. I, the emperor of the new heart, wouldn't I not know that the deposed Emperor of Han also received the title of Shanyang Gong, and would I have a peaceful life? I think that as long as His Highness, the King of Chu surrenders on his own initiative, will he be treated worse than the deposed Emperor."
Kuai Yue nodded.
"It's good if you don't worry, then next, we can wait for the emperor's soldiers to come to Jingzhou."
Kuai Yue turned his attention to the north, and Cai Mao also turned his attention to the north.
Also in mid-to-late May, Guo Peng learned about the ceasefire in Jingzhou and Yizhou through the secret spy channel. He realized that the time had come, and it was meaningless to continue to drag on it. So he immediately sent someone to Chenliu and gave the order to advance to Guo Jia and Lejin.
"The emperor ordered General Le Jin, the general of the Southern Expedition, to lead the entire army and quickly advance to Nanyang and attack Jingzhou. No mistakes shall be made! May 23, the first year of Yande."
Officials from the General Staff sent Guo Peng's order and the Tiger Talisman from Luoyang. Le Jin took out his Tiger Talisman from the Tune, and the two tiger Talismans docked together to become one piece, fitting tightly, without any problem.
The order to advance came into effect. Le Jin and Ji Jie led the entire army to fight, and Guo Jia and Ji Jie supervised the advance of the army.
"My minister! Obey the order!"
"My minister! Obey the order!"
Guo Jia and Lejin knelt on the ground and received the order, turned around and issued a mobilization order for the entire army.
The main force of the Wei army's Central Plains Corps began to advance towards Nanyang.
The army was divided into three groups.
General Le Jin of the South of the Conquest led 30,000 main forces of the Central Army. He set out from Yingyin County, passed Ye County, Duyang County and Bowang County, with the goal of Wancheng.
Guo Lie, commander of the Ruler Army of Runan County, led the Left Army, set out from Wufang County, Runan County, took Wuyin County, and attacked Wancheng.
Li Gan, commander of the Yingchuan County Governor's Army, led the You Army, set out from Yangzi County, passed through Luyang County, Zhi County and Xi'e County, and attacked Wancheng.
Anyway, everyone’s ultimate goal is to attack Wancheng and seek final victory.
So the three armies advanced in unison, and invaded Nanyang County with their heads raised and their chests raised.
At the same time, Zhu Ling, commander of the Shangyong County Governor's Governor, was appointed as the General of Pingnan and was the deputy commander of the army. He immediately led his army to enter Xiangyang, cut off the retreat route of the Jingzhou troops of Nanyang County from the flanks, and quickly captured Xiangyang from the front line of Nanyang to the Nanyang, laying the foundation for the victory of Jingbei, and joining Lexing to the main force.
Xu Huang, commander of the Lujiang County Governor's Army, led the Lujiang County Governor's Army to attack Jiangxia County as a guest army, and suppressed Huang Zu's main force, preventing Huang Zu from interfering in the battle situation in Jingbei.
The tactical planning has been issued to command officers of each army a few days ago. The Wei army dispatched quickly, and the logistics troops took the lead to build the foundation for the Wei army's advance along the way, transporting food and fodder, so that the war soldiers had no logistical worries.
Le Jin dared to promise that this was the most boring and suspenseless war he had ever fought since he joined the army.
In any aspect, this is a war of clear outcomes.
The three armies advanced in unison and surrendered decisively wherever they arrived. They seemed to know that the Wei army was coming. They not only opened the city gates, but also prepared meals. They could be said to be eating and drinking pots to welcome the king's army. The heat really made the Wei soldiers wonder whether they were coming to invade Jingzhou.
This seems to be a war of aggression?
How come it is the same as home game?
Whether it is Le Jin, Guo Lie, Li Gan, Cao Chun, or Li Dian, they all felt an inexplicable sense of incongruity, and only Guo Jia understood why and what happened.
However, these are not important, because they even helped the Wei army prepare food supplies along the way, and the Wei army was unobstructed. On May 28th, on the fourth day after sending troops, Cao Chun, who served as the vanguard of the army, had already arrived at the city of Wancheng and was warmly welcomed by Zhang Yun, the governor of Nanyang County.
When Cao Chun led three thousand cavalry to Wancheng, he was not very willing to believe that Zhang Yun had given up on resistance. He still wanted to make a contribution to military achievements, but Zhang Yun really gave up on resistance.
None of the 20,000 Jingzhou troops in Nanyang County resisted. They all unloaded their armor, put down their weapons, and even raised the "Wei" flag at the top of the city. The city gate was wide open, and hot food filled both sides of the city gate, waiting for the Wei army to come and eat like a buffet.
Zhang Yun even prepared a thousand women to serve the Wei army cavalry who were galloping, and Cao Chun and other generals and officers also had additional high-quality women's services.
Looking at Zhang Yun with a flattering look, Cao Chun was deeply shocked.
