Chapter 1582 Sweeping Liangshan (Part 1)
Chapter 1580: Sweeping Liangshan (Part 1)
Sun Wu is known as the person with the most hope of becoming a master in the Sun family in a century.
Before being captured, Sun Wu was the peak master. If he had not been captured for so many years, he would have been a half-step master now, and in the next ten years, the Sun family would have one more master.
A family protected by a grand master and a family without a family are completely different.
But Sun Wu, who was almost certain to become a great master, was deposed by Zhu Yuanzhang halfway through promotion, which also meant that the Sun family lost a great master. This hatred and hatred are simply beyond words.
Sun Jian was even more angry and almost lost his mind, and was ready to continue to stay in Hefei to fight Zhu Ming to the death.
However, under Sun Wu''s persuasion, Sun Jian gradually calmed down and understood that this was not a good opportunity to seize the Jianghuai River. Stopping Liu Xiu from occupying Jiaozhou was the top priority of Eastern Wu.
"Although Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, Zhu Ming is still there. Sun Jian will never let it go if he is abolishing his brother''s skills."
Hearing Sun Jian say this, Sun Wu was afraid that he would not be able to let go, so he prepared to continue persuading him, but he interrupted Sun Jian before he could speak.
"This time, I, Sun Jian, kept my promise and withdrew my troops and released Zhu Ming. However, this matter is not over. In the future, I, Dongwu Ding and Zhu Ming, will slowly settle the matter."
Sun Jian looked at Hefei City in the distance and gave a cold order: "Send the order, withdraw the troops, and return to Jiangdong."
"No."
On the city of Hefei, Zhu Wenzheng, who was in charge of the guards inspecting the army, felt relieved when he saw that the Wu army outside the city had retreated.
"Finally retreated."
Zhu Wenzheng let out a long breath of turbid air, and the string that had been tense in his heart for a long time could finally relax.
Although Zhu Wenzheng was so popular that he said that he easily defended Hefei City with few enemies, but Zhu Wenzheng himself knew that it was not easy to defend Hefei City at all, but it was difficult.
Zhu Wenjing is indeed a city-defense genius, but Sun Jian is also a famous siege. The showdown between the two is like a spear and a shield, which can be said to be a good person who meets a good person.
Zhu Wenzheng did not have any ease in defending Hefei. He had been forced into a desperate situation several times by Sun Jian. If he hadn''t had a sudden idea and thought of a solution in time, he would have probably been defeated by Sun Jian.
This time, Sun Jian was more prepared to lead the army to attack. Not only did his capable ministers and generals come out, but all the siege equipment was also available.
The originally rock-solid Hefei City was smashed by a rock-stalking car in Dongwu and was smashed to pieces and became incomplete. Most of the city''s guarding materials were consumed, and Hefei City was almost at the end of its reach.
If Sun Jian did not withdraw his troops voluntarily, Zhu Wenzheng would probably be able to hold on for one month at most, and Hefei City would be captured by Sun Jian. Fortunately, Sun Jian still took the initiative to withdraw his troops.
"Although Sun Jian retreated this way, the situation facing our army is still not optimistic. There are not many defenders in Hefei City now, and they are unable to divide their troops to support the lord. They can only rely on the lord to survive this disaster."
Zhu Wenzheng said with a wry smile, and then quickly wrote a letter to report the current situation in Hefei City to Zhu Di and Fan Zeng.
As Fan Zeng expected, after Sun Jian withdrew his troops, Huang Zujun became a little timid, and soon Huang Zu issued an order to withdraw his troops.
However, what Fan Zeng didn''t know was that the reason why Huang Zu withdrew his troops was not because Sun Jian withdrew his troops, but because Zhang Liang was afraid that Zhu Ming would not be able to stop the Three Kingdoms coalition forces. If Wei and Song were allowed to annex Zhu Ming, it would also affect the Qin army''s occupation of Hebei.
Therefore, Zhang Liang asked Qin Hao to order Huang Zu to retreat to Jiangxia in the name of the court.
Huang Zu''s mortal enemy Liu Xiu has already belonged to the Southern Han court, and he cannot join the Southern Han Dynasty. The Northern Han Dynasty is too far away and has been suppressed by the Qin army, so he cannot count on it at all.
Huang Zu was already afraid of being beaten by Qin Hao and could not escape from the Luoyang court, so he naturally did not dare to disobey Qin Hao''s orders. After Sun Jian withdrew his troops, Huang Zu''s family was indeed isolated and unable to support him, so he retreated so readily.
After Sun Jian and Huang Zu retreated, the enemy Zhu Ming had to face also changed from four countries to two countries. However, the Wei and Song dynasties were the two strongest countries, and the challenges Zhu Ming faced were still extremely difficult.

Qingzhou, Beihai.
Back to Li Jing, after he decided to take the initiative and defeat them one by one, Li Jing began to select targets between Song Jiang and Zhu Tianpeng.
If you want to pick persimmons, Song Jiang is undoubtedly a soft persimmon than Zhu Tianpeng. If the Qin army attacks with all their strength, he will definitely be able to damage Liangshan in one fell swoop.
But if it is unexpected, the Qi army would definitely not have expected that the Qin army would attack at this time. If it attacked the Qi army, it would be very likely to defeat the Qi army on the border in one fell swoop.
After pondering for a long time, Li Jing decided to beat Song Jiang first.
The main force of the Qi army has not arrived yet, and there are only 5,000 Qi troops stationed on the border. Even if they are completely wiped out, they will not be able to reach the Qi army. Instead, they will still be alerted.
On the contrary, if Song Jiang is defeated first, it is equivalent to cutting off one arm of the enemy... Well, it may be an exaggeration to say one arm, but at least one finger is also there, and it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers.
"Where are Jintai, Lin Chong and Chao Gai?" Li Jing ordered.
"The last one will be there."
The three generals stood out together, while Jintai and Lin Chong stood out excitedly.
"You wait for three people to be responsible for guarding the Beihai, and there must be no mistakes."
“Uh, no.”
At first, the two thought they were playing, but they didn''t expect that Li Jing did not play according to the routine, and the one who ordered the first one was actually a defensive figure, so naturally they were a little disappointed.
Chao Gai was not the case. Although he had already rebelled out of Liangshan, he still did not want to face his former brothers with swords. He left the city to defend the city, but was just in line with his wishes.
Li Jing didn''t care about that much and continued to order: "Where are Ran Min, Tai Shi Ci, and Qin Ming?"
"The last one will be there."
"Although you and the three of you are the prefects, we will go to Liangshan together."
All the three generals were shocked, and Taishi Ci asked, "Sir, are you going to take action yourself?"
"That''s right, this battle is crucial. Once it is not going well, there will be many difficulties in the future combat. The prefect must take action personally." Li Jing said in a deep voice.
Hearing Li Jing say this, the three generals who originally wanted to persuade Li Jing to say nothing more.
The Qin army in Beihai was 43,000. Li Jing left behind Jintai, Lin Chong and Chao Gai to lead 18,000 to guard Beihai City, and he personally led 25,000 troops, as well as the three generals Ran Min, Taishi Ci and Qin Ming. They went out at night and hid at the best speed and headed straight for the main force of the Liangshan army.
After Chao Gai surrendered to the Qin army, he explained the situation in Liangshan as expected. Coupled with the infiltration of Qin spies, Li Jing already knew the layout of the Liang army in all aspects, even if Chao Gai didn''t need to be the leader.
The second update is coming, and the guaranteed update for yesterday is to make up for the shortfall of updates. The monthly ticket exceeds 400 and needs another chapter to be updated. At present, one chapter is still missing.
