Chapter 637: Breaking the Lujiang River with Internal Soldiers
Chapter 637: Use internal troops to defeat Lujiang River
After the military order was given, the army set off. As soon as the Qin army approached Ruxukou, the deputy general of Ruxukou killed the guard and surrendered. Liu Zhang called the general to inquire and found out that this person was a distant relative of Zhou Yu. Since he was a relative, Liu Zhang would not neglect him.
, and still let him guard Ruxukou. The army continued to move forward, and arrived at Lujiang City five days later. Zhu Ran, the defender of Lujiang, was the heir of Zhu Zhi, the Jiangdong general. Zhu Zhi died at the hands of the Qin army general during the battle. Zhu Ran and the Qin army
There was an sworn hatred. Therefore, when the troops came to the city, he had already decided to live or die with Lujiang City!
Zhu Ran was tired of living, and other people in Lujiang City still wanted to live, especially some aristocratic families. These aristocratic families had never thought about being loyal to any prince, let alone harmed the family interests for outsiders. Seeing the strength of the Qin army, the Lujiang family
They fled one after another. If it were not for the generals who had no way to retreat, it is estimated that there would be no defenders in Lujiang City. In order to quell the chaos in Lujiang City and improve the morale of the army, Zhu Ran's workload doubled. Unfortunately, his
In the eyes of aristocratic families, doing anything is simply sending someone to death!
As soon as the Qin army surrounded Lujiang, there was an explosion in the city. On weekdays, the aristocratic families and Jiangdong Army allied with the Qin army to describe the Qin army as man-eating tigers. After listening to the words of the aristocratic families and the instigation of the Jiangdong Army, the people near Lujiang tried to avoid Qin
Harassed by the army, they all gathered in Lujiang City. The population in the city doubled several times in a few days, which caused Zhu Ran's workload to increase a lot. Of course, it was not just the people who entered Lujiang City, but also the Qin Dynasty.
Jun Xizuo, and Qiao Yu who went to the city to join forces!
Qiao Yu has always been unknown. Even Liu Zhang has forgotten him, but he remembers Liu Zhang's kindness. In the past, he was kidnapped in Luoyang, and it was the resourceful Liu Zhang who saved his life. If not, the Qiao family would have been killed long ago.
It existed in name only. More than ten years ago, Qiao Xuan died of illness in Chang'an, and the other rooms of the Qiao family began to make trouble. Qiao Yu, who was struggling to deal with the uncles and elders of each room, had long wanted to avoid this mess, but he proposed to join Liu Zhang.
The other houses said they couldn’t leave their homeland, but in fact they were reluctant to leave their money, food and land!
Now, the Qin army is suppressing the border, and most of the Qiao family have fled to Jiangdong. Only Qiao Yu and a few Qiao family children who have no family assets have decided to defect to Liu Zhang. However, after these years, the Qiao family, except for Qiao Xuan, has been retiring in Chang'an.
Qiao Yu and Liu Zhang had not seen each other for more than ten years, and no one knew whether Liu Zhang would take in these relatives who had never supported him. So Qiao Yu discussed with everyone and prepared to use the Lujiang River as a gift to meet him.
It is not difficult to sneak into Lujiang. After all, Qiao Yu is the head of the Qiao family and the head of the Qiao family. Even Zhu Zhi has to give him face and treat him like a guest. But he has no idea who to contact.
, after all, he is just a scholar, not a professional craftsman. However, before he could contact others, someone had already contacted him.
The spies of the Intelligence Department had already understood the situation in Lujiang City clearly. They also knew that the aristocratic families were dissatisfied with Zhu Ran. But as agents, they had to find a trustworthy person to contact them. Originally, they planned to contact the Zhou family
, Lu family, but Zhu Ran is not stupid, and has already controlled these two families. Even if the two families agree to be internal agents, they cannot implement the plan.
Just when the intelligence department was having a headache, Qiao Yu appeared, and Qin Jun's spies suddenly saw hope. After several trials, the two sides quickly reached a consensus. Under the guidance of the spies, Qiao Yu gave full play to his talents.
, united all the aristocratic families in Lujiang City, and bribed the people who monitored the Zhou family and the Lu family!
Three days after the siege, the Qin army repeated its old tricks and set up thunder carts and other equipment under Lujiang City. Before launching the attack, someone from the Intelligence Department reported the situation in Lujiang. I heard that there were internal agents in the city, including his brother-in-law.
, Liu Zhang decided to save some stone bullets and crossbow arrows, and led his army to retreat.
On the evening of the fourth day, Liu Zhang sent someone to contact Qiao Yu in Lujiang City. After receiving the secret code, he personally led his army to the south gate of Lujiang. This time, he did not want to let Zhu Ran go again. In order not to let Zhu Ran go
The two ports of Jiujiang and Wuhu sent troops to rescue. He also asked Ma Chao and Zhang Fei to lead their troops to block all the roads to and from Lujiang.
Late at night, the south gate of Lujiang City quietly opened. Qiao Yu personally led the Zhou family and the slaves of the Lu family to guide Qin Jun. However, his face was too dark and his appearance was unclear. Along the way, Qin Jun avoided various
Patrol points, secret sentries, and direct attacks on the city guard's house. Although poor Zhu Ran has not rested yet, he never imagined that the city guard's house would be surrounded unknowingly.
"Kill...capture Zhu Ran alive..." Liu Zhang shouted loudly as he surrounded the city guard's house on three levels and three outside. The Qin army launched an attack with a clamor, and the whole city screamed for killing. The soldiers of the Tiger Army and the Qinglong Guard were killed.
, there are many people who rely on their good skills to climb over the wall directly in order to capture the enemy general alive! However, even if the merit is good, you have to live to enjoy it. The Jiangdong Army in the city guardhouse all belongs to Zhu Ran.
The pro-army soldiers of the Qin Army who rushed in rashly were killed!
"General, leave quickly!" Just when Zhu Ran was at a loss, a soldier rushed into his study and urged him to leave!
"What happened?" Zhu Ran frowned. He did not want to give up Lujiang easily. You must know that Lujiang is the springboard for Jiangdong to enter the world, and is more important than Jiangxia. If not, Sun Quan would not put him here!
The guard replied anxiously: "General, the Qin army has entered the city!"
"What?" Zhu Ran was stunned, and asked in shock: "How did the Qin army enter the city, and how many people entered the city?"
"I don't know, I only know that the city is full of Qin troops, and the city guard seems to be surrounded! General, don't ask any more questions, just leave!" While answering Zhu Ran, he listened to the movements outside and heard shouts of killing.
Getting closer and closer, the guards anxiously urged Zhu Ran to leave!
"Okay, let's leave now!" After listening to the words of the personal guard, Zhu Ran felt a little clear in his heart. The aristocratic family had long been dissatisfied with him, and it was normal for him to present the city. Although Lujiang is under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong, after all, it is in Jiangbei and Jiangdong.
Some are beyond our reach!
"Boom...crunch..." As soon as he put on his armor and grabbed his weapon, Zhu Ran was about to leave. But before he could reach the door, the study door let out a shrill groan and was kicked down by a big foot. One
A middle-aged man wearing a python robe, a golden crown on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist strode in!
"You are...Liu Zhang!" Pulling out the sword, Zhu Ran looked at the person coming, a light of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Zhu Ran was originally the son of the Shi family, and his mother was Zhu Zhi's sister. His father died early, and Zhu Zhi had no heirs, so he chose him as his successor and asked him to change his surname to Zhu. Thinking of his uncle who treated him like his own son, he died in Qin
In the hands of the general, Zhu Ran felt a pain in his heart, and his hatred for Liu Zhang could not be increased!
"Zhu Ran!" Liu Zhang said with a smile; "Surrender!"
"Don't think about it!" Holding the sword in his hand, he looked around and saw people all around the study. Zhu Ran knew that he would not be spared today. He immediately made up his mind and stabbed Liu Zhang's chest with the sword in his hand, shouting: "Dog thief, you are a thief!"
I am determined to avenge my father..."
"Looking for death..." Dian Wei dodged and stood in front of Liu Zhang. Zhu Ran's movements were too slow for him!
"Bang..." The sword in Zhu Ran's hand fell to the ground, and Dian Wei pinched his wrist. Even Lu Bu might not be able to hold the sword! However, although Dian Wei caught him, the hatred in Zhu Ran's eyes did not diminish at all. He
Still staring at Liu Zhang, he wished he could eat Liu Zhang alive.
"Lao Dian, pull him down and give him a ride!" Seeing that Zhu Ran hated him so much, Liu Zhang would not keep him. The Zhu family of the four major families in Jiangdong was also within the attack range of the Qin army!
"General, obey your order!" Dian Wei immediately called Dian Man and said, "Take him down and show his head to the public. And spread the word throughout the city, asking Jiangdong Army to surrender immediately!"
"Yes!" Dianman responded weakly. He felt a bit like a boy running errands. But he didn't dare to have the slightest objection, lest he be repaired by Dianwei.
Zhu Ran's death made Jiangdong's army give up resistance. When the sky was bright, the Qin army took control of Lujiang City. In order to prevent Jiangdong's rout from disturbing the people, Liu Zhang also asked Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to patrol everywhere. If they found the rout, they would kill them.
The people immediately ordered justice on the spot. The Qin army, which had strict military discipline, was quickly accepted by the people of Lujiang. After the Qin army comforted them, although there was still blood flowing on the streets and even broken limbs, the people had already
Started a normal life.
"See the King of Qin!" A large group of gorgeously dressed but embarrassed people saluted Liu Zhang who was sitting at the top in the hall. Cleaning the battlefield had nothing to do with Liu Zhang. He was receiving representatives of the Lujiang family in the conference hall.
"No gifts!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "This time, you all have merit, and I can promise you something that does not violate policies and laws. If you think you are talented, you can also choose to be an official. Although I am very interested in the family
The big clan has some restrictions, but they have no intention of exterminating them all!"
"Thank you, King Qin. We will abide by the laws and policies!" After hearing Liu Zhang's words, the wealthy families who chose to stay immediately expressed their stance. Most of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Liu Zhang would cross the river and demolish the bridge.
I was a little worried. Everyone in the world knew about Liu Zhang's love for the people!
"You're welcome!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Gu Yi is always generous when treating his own people. If you have any requests, you can write them down and give them to Mr. Guo and Mr. Jia from the Intelligence Department. If there are no special problems, you all can leave! It's been a hard night.
, it’s time for you to go home and tidy up!”
"I'll take my leave!" Everyone just wanted to know Liu Zhang's attitude towards the aristocratic family. Now that Liu Zhang had expressed his stance, they didn't dare to say more, so they turned and left.
Seeing everyone leaving one after another, Liu Zhang was also ready to rest. Although he did not fight with the enemy, he was still a little tired after not sleeping all night. When he turned to leave, he found that one person was still sitting on the chair with no intention of leaving. He
He couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "What else do you have to do, why don't you leave?"
"King Qin, do you think I should call you king or brother-in-law?" The person left behind was Qiao Yu, who stared at Liu Zhang with a smile on his face.
"You are..." Looking at the face that was somewhat similar to the big and small Qiao, combined with the intelligence, how could Liu Zhang fail to recognize Qiao Yu? He took Qiao Yu's hand and said: "Both of your sisters are lonely women, how dare you
