Liu Zhang and Fazheng looked at each other, not knowing what Han Xuan was planning. Maybe Han Xuan himself was wondering why he had twice plotted to frame the Sichuan Army, but the Sichuan Army was victorious. This time, he couldn't bear it any longer.
If he personally leads an army of three thousand, rebels against Liu Zhang after taking over Changsha, and then cooperates with the Jingzhou Army in northern Jingzhou, he will definitely be the biggest contributor to the recovery of southern Jingzhou.
Han Xuan was filled with joy when he thought of bringing three thousand soldiers and horses into Changsha, integrating Zhang Yi and Jinxuan, and dominating one side.
However, Han Xuan's little tricks could not be concealed from Liu Zhang Fazheng, who had always been as clear as a mirror, and he was seen through at a glance.
After the battle at Falling Eagle Valley, Han Xuan was no longer of use value to Liu Zhang. Fa Zheng glanced at Liu Zhang with murderous intent. Liu Zhang nodded slightly and said to Han Xuan with a smile: "General Han is commendable for his loyalty, but
You don't need General Han to lead the army to take Changsha, you just need to borrow something from General Han."
"What is it? Han Xuan will do whatever the Lord needs."
"A head on your neck."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking coldly, he drew his sword and pierced Han Xuan's heart. Han Xuan looked at Liu Zhang with wide eyes and a look of disbelief on his face. Fazheng said contemptuously: "This kind of villain can be beheaded by the sergeant, why do you need to be dirty?"
into the hands of the lord."
Liu Zhang chuckled softly and said: "Han Xuan made two great contributions to our Sichuan Army during his lifetime. He deserves this sword from me. What's more, the dead Han Xuan will also make a third contribution for us. Why should I pretend to do it to others?"
Liu Zhang pulled out the sword and looked at the blood on the sword quietly. Han Xuan's eyes widened. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by Liu Zhang and was being used by Liu Zhang. Blood gushed out from his chest. Han Xuan was unwilling to accept it.
He fell to the ground. He didn't know what Liu Zhang would use him to do until he died, and he never closed his eyes until he died.
"Here comes." Liu Zhang returned the sword to its sheath.
Four sergeants came forward, and Liu Zhang said calmly: "General Han Xuan fought fiercely with Liu Pan and died of serious injuries. His body was buried in a coffin and buried with a grand ceremony to publicize General Han's merits."
"yes."
Four sergeants carried the body down. After listening to Liu Zhang's words, Fazheng finally understood Liu Zhang's intentions. Han Xuan was from a prominent family in Changsha. Han Xuan's surrender to the Sichuan army and the defeat of Liu Pan would have a big impact on the people of Changsha, and no matter what,
All will affect the Han family to a certain extent. Zhang Yi will suspect that the Han family is interested in Yizhou, and Jin Xuan will also think that the Han family is leaning towards Liu Zhang.
However, neither Zhang Yi nor Jin Xuan were Liu Zhangs. They did not dare to take action against the aristocratic families, and most of the Han family were in Changsha City and were ruled by Zhang Yi. If Zhang Yi did not attack the Han family, it would inevitably arouse Jin Xuan's suspicion for a long time.
, especially in the difficult situation of being cut off from food and grass, the rift between Jin Xuan, Zhang Yi, and the Han family will inevitably become bigger and bigger, and the Sichuan army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Fazheng didn't expect that Liu Zhang would squeeze all the use value out of a dead man, and he was secretly chilled.
Five days later, Liu Zhang led 3,000 elite troops across the Xiang River and arrived outside the city of Guiyang. Although Guiyang was barren, its geographical location was extremely important. It cut off the throat of Jiangdong and Shanyue. Without Guiyang, the entire Jingnan would not be safe.
Liu Pan had several fierce battles with Shan Yue here. After Sun Ce unified Jiangdong, his power began to expand to the Poyang Lake area. Chaisangkou and Jianchang's troops directly threatened Jingnan. Therefore, Liu Pan sent Zhao Sheng and Zhao Sheng while surrounding Changsha.
The two brothers Fan guarded Guiyang to resist Shan Yue and Sun Ce.
Liu Zhang and Fazheng went up the hill to look at the city of Guiyang in the distance. Guiyang has always been on guard against enemies from the east, so the city walls were built with the northeastern sides as the highest, the south as second, and the west as the lowest and thinnest. Where the Sichuan Army is now,
This is the best location for siege.
"Xiaozhi, what do you think?" Liu Zhang asked Fa Zhengdao.
Fazheng thought for a while and said: "The garrison of Guiyang City is only a thousand, and the west wall is less than two feet, and there are no basic towers or arrow towers. When winter and spring come together, the low and shallow moat dries up, and the defense is similar to that of a marching camp."
, our three thousand elite soldiers will be able to conquer it after a long battle."
"Then what?" Liu Zhang knew that since Fa Zheng said this, there must be something more to come.
Fa Zhengdao said: "Since we all think so, and the governor of Guiyang, Zhao Sheng, thinks so, we must send heavy troops to the west city to strengthen the city's defenses. We will do the opposite and attack the east city in a circle. We will surely be able to defeat them in one go."
"Good strategy." Liu Zhang praised: "Now our army is surrounded by dangers. Sun Ce and Jingbei troops are eyeing us. Little Guiyang, I don't have that much time to spend with the Zhao brothers, so I will do as you say."
In Guiyang City, the prefect Zhao Sheng heard that the Sichuan army was attacking the city. He was very anxious. His younger brother Zhao Fan comforted him and said: "Brother, Liu Zhang only has three thousand soldiers and horses in total. As far as I know, the Sichuan army lacks siege equipment. It will take a lot of effort to carry out the expedition."
, we may not be able to capture Guiyang."
"You know nothing." Zhao Sheng immediately scolded: "Liu Zhang attacked Wuling, walked on wild horses, went to Hanshou, and left the Luoying Canyon. When did he use siege equipment? Liu Zhang had the rule of law, military force, and Yan Yan.
Moko, even a concubine is unstoppable, who among us can stand up to him?"
Zhao Sheng paced back and forth anxiously in the prefect's mansion, when a civil servant trotted in hurriedly. As soon as Zhao Sheng saw his face clearly, he rushed forward to meet the man, grabbed the man's shoulders and said: "Bao Long joins the army, and I asked you to invite reinforcements from the Sun family."
How was your invitation?"
Bao Long glanced at Zhao Sheng and finally shook his head. Zhao Sheng suddenly turned pale.
"Sun Yi said that the Sun family has a grudge against Jingzhou for killing his father. Unless we break with Liu Jingzhou and defect to the Sun family in Jiangdong, we will not send reinforcements."
"If that's the case, you can just let the snake fall in vain." Zhao Fan interrupted, and Zhao Sheng came back to his senses and stared at Bao Long.
Bao Long slapped his hands hard and said angrily: "I'm weak. I said Governor Zhao Sheng was willing to switch to the Sun family, but Sun Yi also said that when Sun Ce first established Jiangdong, he sent less than 10,000 troops to Chaisangkou.
, under the pressure of our Jiangling garrison, and Chaisang has been abandoned for a long time, he has just arrived at Chaisang, the defenses and city facilities need to be repaired, and it will take at least ten days before we can send troops."
"Ten days? I'm afraid my bones are cold." Zhao Sheng beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Excuse." Zhao Fan said firmly: "In any case, Guiyang's location is important. If Sun Ce is interested in Jingnan, he cannot sit back and watch Guiyang fall into Liu Zhang's hands. He will assemble his troops and set off immediately. They will reach Guiyang within five days."
, it’s really hateful.”
Zhao Fan really couldn't think of any reason why Sun Yi didn't send troops to help.
"Why are you talking so much now? Think of a solution quickly." Zhao Sheng said angrily and anxiously.
Bao Long offered his advice: "My lord, at this point, we can only rely on ourselves. I suggest my lord to station a large number of troops in the west city and hold on to the death."
"Bang." Zhao Sheng kicked Bao Long over and cursed: "What bullshit idea do you have? I have already sent heavy troops to garrison the west city, but can it be done just by garrisoning it? Liu Zhang was like that when he was swimming in white water for a long time.
Dangerous points are always taken at a moment's notice. Can Guiyang Xicheng stop him? You two should quickly find useful moves."
Zhao Sheng pointed at Zhao Fan and Bao Long, but they were unable to do anything.
Zhao Sheng looked up to the sky and screamed miserably: "Oh my god, am I, Zhao Sheng, who fought in Changsha, captured Guiyang, beheaded Fan Chang, and fought with blood to become the governor, with one sword and one sword, and the position of governor, will be handed over to the butcher of Yizhou? Oh my god.
, how unfair you are."
At this time, Zhao Fan took a step forward and hesitated for a while before saying: "Brother, now that things have come to a point, there is only one way to go."
"What way?" Zhao Sheng asked anxiously.
Zhao Fan said slowly: "Fake surrender, real delay, wait and see what happens. Liu Zhang left Jingnan alone, with our Jingzhou army in the north, and Sun Ce's army in the east. It won't last long, and we may not have a chance to succeed."
"What a good idea." Zhao Shengpi looked at his younger brother with a smile, and suddenly shouted: "Do you think Liu Zhangfa is just a freeloader? If we really surrender, Guiyang will still be
Ours?”
"Brother, don't worry, listen to what I have to say." Zhao Fan rolled his eyes and said something sinister, "This matter must fall on my brother's beautiful sister-in-law."
