Chapter 117: Rush

The sudden attack outside the city not only put great pressure on the defenders on the city, but also made the powerful men of all races in the city panic.

As Liu Fan gradually deepened his battles in Ba County, his attitude towards the wealthy families of Ba County gradually became subtle. From Langzhong, most of the surrendered wealthy families were recruited and An Han took them peacefully, but nothing happened.

But when attacking Dianjiang, the local tyrant Li Jing, as the leader of the rebels, was directly exterminated by Liu Fan!

This has a great impact on the powerful people in Jiangzhou City. They even speculated privately that this was Liu Fan sending a signal that the more he would be tolerant of the powerful people, the less he would be.

And such tolerance will become more severe as the war continues to go smoothly.

Even the powerful men have begun to be in danger. Even if they do not help Chen Mi, Meng Biao and Liu Fan, they may not be let go of them after conquering Jiangzhou.

Just as the hearts of the powerful people in Jiangzhou City were volatile, a fierce battle suddenly broke out in Jiangzhou City. With the war, huge rocks were thrown in from the sky above the city wall, and a fire was quickly ignited on the north city tower.

The little powerful people in Jiangzhou City may not be clear, but Dong He, who migrated here from Jingzhou, understood instantly that Liu Fan created a catapult!

He also heard from the knowledgeable talent in the county during the Yellow Turban turbulence.

In the past, the Yellow Turbans were in chaos and Zhongzhou was in turmoil. Many cities on the Central Plains were taken down by moths because they were not prepared for defense. At the same time, the court did not prepare enough troops.

Often, the court can win by using thousands of soldiers and horses against tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of moths and thieves. It is a catapult!

A large number of catapults directly collapsed the cities occupied by moths, and the fireballs were mixed with huge rocks, which made the undisciplined Yellow Turban troops lose their positions in an instant, and there was no need for the imperial army to dispatch many soldiers.

The Yellow Turban Army fought and fled, fought and fought because of fear. In the end, the surrendered surrender and the fled, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was dozens of times the strength of the official army, was defeated.

Such a record is also widely circulated in various prefectures and counties. Whenever scholars mentioned the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, they could not help but think of the shock brought by the weapons of this war.

Today, when the catapult cart was used again in the battle of the city in Ba County, Dong He also clearly felt the panic of the people of Yizhou in the city, the fear of the unknown and the legendary punishment of heaven.

When Dong He saw these situations, he already knew that Liu Fan had won. So in order not to let the foreign clan continue to fall into a passive state after Liu Fan entered Jiangzhou, Dong He decisively joined forces with other foreign gentry entourages in Jiangzhou City to launch a surprise attack, seized the city gate and let Liu Fan's army enter.

The battle in the north city was fierce, and there were throwing stones and fires burning. Dong He asked the local wealthy tribes in Jiangzhou to contact Li Hu's army outside Dongcheng.

After all, Li Hu belongs to the Dangqu people's ministry, and is responsible for business dealings between outsiders and them, as well as the close relationship between the local little wealthy tribes in Jiangzhou and them, which is worth showing goodwill to them at this time.

On the east city tower, Li Hu was leading the soldiers to fight with the guards of Jiangzhou East City, he suddenly saw a large number of soldiers and heroes emerging in the city. Under the leadership of a sword-holding scholar, he rushed over directly.

Attacked the defenders of Jiangzhou City. The defenders of Jiangzhou could not withstand such internal and external attacks. It didn't take long for Li Hu to lead his troops to capture the guards of the east city gate, and he also killed the guards of the east city on the spot.

Afterwards, Li Hu met Dong He. Dong He did not go around in circles with him, but directly explained his intentions and wanted to join Li Hu. Li Hu was also a smart person and agreed to Dong He's conditions on the spot.

Then, under Dong He's guidance, Li Hu led his troops to attack Jiangzhou County Government, while leading his troops to raid the northern city gate, attempting to take down the city gate and let Liu Fan's army outside the city enter the city.

When Li Hu led his troops to the North City, Chen Mi barely evacuated from the city wall, and everyone under his command was in a mess. This fire not only burned a large number of his subordinates, but also severely damaged the morale of his soldiers.

So when Li Hu led the soldiers to suddenly arrive, Chen Mi was completely confused. Even when both sides fought, he suddenly realized that there were powerful people in the city who had rebelled.

Aiming at the target, Li Hu rushed to Chen Mi to kill him. He was brave and powerful, and he was also unstoppable among Shen Mi's entourage. Seeing Li Hu constantly coming to him, Chen Mi began to panic.

Things were going too fast and were completely beyond his control.

When he encountered a rock-treating attack on the army, his fear and depression had not recovered, and unexpectedly he was attacked by the sacrificial army.

"You will not have a good result with Liu Fan. Help me, I will give you everything east of Ba County!" In desperation, Chen Mi shouted loudly and threw tempting conditions at Li Hu.

As if Li Hu didn't hear it, he still controlled the mace in his hand, constantly knocking down the followers of Chen Mi along the way, and moved towards him step by step.

Seeing Li Hu keep approaching him, Chen Mi shouted suddenly, raised the big knife in her hand, and rushed towards him with a shout.

At this moment, he had given up the idea of ​​compromise and only wanted to lead his followers to take him down.

Then, dozens of agile heroes, led by Shen Mi, fought around Li Hu.

However, Chen Mi felt a sudden heartbroken in this battle. Li Hu's bravery suddenly exploded when everyone surrounded him. This combat power directly increased Chen Mi's pressure.

After experiencing several situations where Li Hu was about to be killed and saved by his entourage hero, Chen Mi's heroic spirit finally disappeared. He turned his head and was about to escape.

But since Li Hu entered Liu Fan's command, he had never made any outstanding military achievements, so how could he be willing to let the thief escape so easily? At that moment, he shouted, and the elite soldiers and entourages around him who were killing the Jiangzhou rebels also rushed over.

He quickly intercepted Chen Mi who was blocking Li Hu and asked Li Hu to chase Chen Mi. In this case, Chen Mi could not escape!

A huge mace directly knocked Chen Mi to the ground, and Chen Mi was also determined to die at this time. He was fighting for the danger of being killed by Li Hu's mace, and he would have to stab Li Hu with a knife.

Seeing this, Li Hu knew that there was no way to capture Chen Mi alive, so he immediately increased the power in his hand and directly bombarded Shen Mi's head. His brain splashed, and Chen Mi was beyond recognition and died on the spot!

With Chen Mi's death on the spot, the tribes in Jiangzhou City that were not his own lineage quickly began to riot. In addition, the soldiers were extremely brave in fighting. Under tremendous pressure, the tribes of Jiangzhou City surrendered one after another.

As these people surrendered, the north gate of Jiangzhou City was quickly opened by the soldiers.

Outside the city

Liu Fan was leading Yan Yan and others to wait silently for the fire on the city tower to weaken, but unexpectedly, the fire on the city tower had not yet been extinguished, and the city gate was opened first.

Looking at each other, Liu Fan was also confused. This time he did not arrange an internal response in the city!

"It's a soldier!" At that moment, a soldier shouted at the soldier who was pointing at the door opening in front of him.

"Is it possible that Li Hu has taken the East Gate?" After clearly seeing the appearance of the soldiers, Liu Fan couldn't help but murmur, "It's barely possible to take the East Gate with their troops, but if you take the North Gate again in such a short time, I'm afraid someone in the city will pick you up."

When he looked at Fa Zheng, Liu Fan's doubts were also a place where Fa Zheng was quite cautious. "It is not surprising that the monks lived in Ba County for a long time, so it is not surprising that they were able to know the powerful people in Jiangzhou. I am afraid that Li Hu would dare to contact the inner city of the upper city. Before he could report to his lord, the war broke out. He thought that Yan Xibo could be brought into the city first."

"Lord, I'm willing to enter the city to find out the truth!" Hearing this, Yan Yan, who was standing beside him, bowed and spoke.

He hesitated and glanced at Jiangzhou City. Just as Liu Fan was about to send Yan Yan into the city to investigate, Li Hu walked up under the city gate with a blood mace dripping in his hand.

"Report to General Zhonglang, the soldiers successfully took down Jiangzhou City! Please General Zhonglang into the city!"

"Please enter the city!"

With a loud bang, the soldiers were all holding their heads and chests up, waiting for Liu Fan to enter the city with high fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Liu Fan quietly put down his guard and rode his horse slowly towards the city. Yan Yan, in front, took the initiative to lead the fierce soldiers as the vanguard.

The army entered the city one after another. The fires on the top of the city had been extinguished, leaving only embers burning. There could be heard shouts of killing in the city, from all directions, and I don’t know which direction it came from.

When he came to Li Hu, Liu Fan reached out and patted his shoulder, "In this battle, Wu Yong should be the first to win!"

When he walked into the city, a short time later, a sword-holding scholar led hundreds of agile heroes and pressed one toward Liu Fan.

As soon as he saw the scholar, Liu Fan's eyes lit up. He knew that the person in front of him should be the key to winning Jiangzhou in this battle.

The literati holding the sword didn't hold it, held the hilt of the sword inverted, walked to Liu Fan and bowed his fists, "Dong He, a native of Nanjun, met the Zuo Zhonglang General!"

I knew that Liu Fan could now understand why Li Hu could easily take Jiangzhou. With the help of all the famous officials in the early and mid-term Shu Han, it would be difficult for Li Hu to not take Jiangzhou.

"Young Slaughter doesn't need to be polite!" Liu Fan smiled with a smile, "I'm sorry, Young Slaughter mediated this battle, otherwise there would be no such great victory!"

"I dare not be the General of the Central Army to praise him!" Although Dong He was a little surprised that Liu Fan could know his words, it was obviously not the time to ask. So Dong He directly turned the topic to the prison scholar who was detained, "General of the Central Army, this person is Meng Biao who rebelled with Shen Mi!"

"Dong Youzai, a person who is greedy for life and fears death!" He glared fiercely at Dong He, and Meng Biao directly glared at Liu Fan, "Liu thief, the blood sea is full of hatred, I will definitely not become your straw dog!"

Frowning and glanced at him, Liu Fan raised his hand and waved it, "Slash with one knife, destroy the clan!"

"Puff!"

After saying that, Yan Yan took the blame without blinking, and then turned around and led his personal connection to the guards to the Meng family and the Shen family, slaughtering the whole family.

Looking at Liu Fan who was cold throughout the whole process, Dong He felt a little nervous. Although he knew that Liu Fan was decisive in killing, he never thought that Liu Fan was actually a person in the army.

Although many people dressed in literati were followed behind him, when Liu Fan ordered the massacre of Meng and Shen, no one stood up to dissuade them. Dong He believed that among these people, there must be people from Bajun.

Without caring about what Dong He was thinking, as usual, Liu Fan smiled and greeted Dong He again, "When I was in Dianjiang, I heard from Heber that there was a scholar in Jiangzhou, Dong Youzai and had great talent. When I saw him today, Youzai did not disappoint me."

Upon hearing this, Dong He understood that it was Yan Yan who recommended him to Liu Fan. No wonder Liu Fan knew that he, the person who moved from Jingzhou. In a quiet way, Yan Yan's sense of closeness in Dong He's heart also increased a lot. Looking at his enjoyment under Liu Fan, it seems that compared with Li Hu, he is more suitable for cooperation.

Dong He thought to himself that everyone arrived at the county temple soon.

When Liu Fan led everyone into the city, the rest of the people quickly went to the four cities to send an order to surrender and let Liu Fan's army outside the city enter the city. When they learned that Chen Mi and Meng Biao were killed, the Jiangzhou soldiers were also very aware of the current affairs and did not resist much. They quickly accepted the pleading of the Zuo Zhonglang General.

When the city gate opened, Zhang Ren, Wang Chong and others outside the city also led their troops into the city.

With Liu Fanjun entering the city, the security in the city became much better in an instant, and the shouts of killing stopped. The brave man was shouted out to clean up the battlefield, the fire on the city tower was extinguished, and the people in the city returned to a peaceful life.

Since there are quite a lot of literati under Liu Fan, he only needs to be a hand-off manager when he enters the city. For other things, Cheng Ji and other literati will naturally handle them.

And with Liu Fan's capture of Jiangzhou, it also meant that he had pacified Ba County.

The next step was to ask the Ganning Navy General to advance eastward and seize other cities along the river. However, these cities did not rebel. As long as the fleet under the banner of the Muslim Mansion arrived, it would probably not need to fight and could be recovered.

Liu Fan himself was preparing to lead his troops westward. He heard that Jianwei County had some commotion recently. He planned to pacify Jianwei when he passed by, and then see if he could catch some famous officials.

However, before Liu Fan could send troops to Jianwei, a 800-mile letter was sent to Liu Fan in a hurry!

In the temple of Jiangzhou County, there were many civil and military officials standing. The first Liu Fan, sitting upright behind the desk, held a letter in his hand, his face was silent and he didn't say anything for a long time. Everyone below looked at each other and dared not say much.

When the messenger arrived to report, it was clearly an 800-mile rush military newspaper, but after reading it, Liu Fan remained silent. Although everyone below wanted to know what was going on, they dared not ask.

Holding the letter in his hand, Liu Fan looked up and glanced at everyone, "Xiaozhi, Ji Ran stayed, and the rest of them were retreating first!"

With a serious expression, everyone bowed their heads and said back.

Fa Zheng's eyes flashed. After everyone left, he slowly came to Liu Fan, "Lord, what's the big deal?"

He reached out to take the letter from Liu Fan, and with just a glance, Fa Zheng's eyes suddenly shrank!

The content of the letter is very simple, but the matter involved is extremely serious. If you don’t handle it well, it will directly endanger the entire Yizhou.

"Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, was assassinated!"
