Chapter 452 Huang Zu begged for surrender
Gan Ning was moved when he heard this, and stood up and clasped his fists with his hands: "Lord is very kind, and Ning is grateful."
Seeing Gan Ning's obedient and stood up, Liu Fengman He nodded with a smile: "Xingba is a hero. How can he act like a mediocre person and worship me mediocrely? If today is not yet up to the point, it is the time when the hero uses his martial arts. Xingba should encourage him. What's the matter? It can be said that Come and listen. "
Gan Ning only felt that Liu Feng's words had entered In my heart, I had more confidence and plucked up my courage and begged for mercy: "My lord doesn't know that Su Fei, the governor of the Jiangxia naval army, was my former benefactor. He was like brothers and sisters with me. . In Jingzhou, I was rather mediocre and bullied. But Fei was different from others. He often held banquets and was relieved. He was full of shade in his daily life. This kind of kindness must be repayed, so he would rather risk his priest death and beg for his lord. Forgive Su Fei."
Liu Feng suddenly realized that this was the case.
Liu Feng also knew the loyalty between Gan Ning and Su Fei, but Gan Ning had arrived under his command early in this life. In addition, Liu Feng is surrounded by heroes, heroes, celebrities, and other local tycoons. , it really cannot reach Liu Feng's vision.
This matter is actually easy to deal with. Liu Feng did not want to execute Su Fei and the others. As long as he was willing to surrender, he would not be able to restore his position to the official position, but he would be reused. After all, these people are local snakes in Jiangxia County. With them, Liu Feng can win the entire Jiangxia County with twice the result with half the effort at a faster speed and a smaller price.
Just fighting for this, even if you are unwilling to surrender, as long as you promise not to oppose Liu Feng's army, Liu Feng would not have to execute them.
I remember that in history, although Su Fei was loyal to Huang Zu, this person was not a person who would rather die than surrender. After being captured alive by the Sun family, he also asked people to come to Gan Ning, and he would not hesitate to tell him about his past kindness and beg for life. .
This kind of person naturally cannot ignore his life and have to go against himself.
"Xingba is a true righteous man."
Liu Feng immediately stood up, walked to Gan Ning, sighed first, and then said, "The previous war was in full swing, and the rear suddenly came, even though I fought hard for me. "Now that the Zhouling victory is great, the Jiangxia navy has swept away, and the number of prisoners alone is as high as 50,000. I want to move these people to Xiakou first. , but he was afraid of being harassed by the previous defeated army when he returned home. "
Liu Feng took Gan Ning's arm and patted him gently: "Since that's the case, Xingba is willing to relieve my worries and lead the headquarters to reverse Xiakou, Sweep away the noble army."
Gan Ning was a little confused. He was obviously here to plead for Su Fei, so why was he assigned to a mission?
Although this mission is fat and lacking, it is almost equivalent to sending military merits to his bowl, which is definitely a good thing, but Gan Ning is obviously more concerned about Su Fei's result.
Gan Ning thought about it and said hesitantly: "Lord has a destiny, but I would rather not refuse. I am willing to work hard for the lord. It's just Su..."
Liu Feng waved his hand , stopped Gan Ning and continued, "I have heard of Su Fei as a person. I heard that he has repeatedly held important positions in the Jiangxia Navy and served as the governor for a long time. I believe he is familiar with the Jiangxia Navy." >
At this point, Liu Feng asked Gan Ning with a smile, "I want him to make meritorious service, and for Xingba's deputy, he went to persuade the defeated army to surrender. What does Xingba think?"
Gan Ning suddenly realized it and immediately knelt down in the hall, expressing his gratitude in his heart: "The lord is so kind and great, but he can only repay his death!"
"Why is this?" Liu Feng helped Gan Ning up: "Su Boyun is kind and has no talent, but he can recognize heroes and never do evil. The two armies are in a dignified state. Even if they are defeated, I will be defeated. How could he be a bloodthirsty person? "
Gan Ning burst into tears and her feelings were hard to suppress.
Liu Feng comforted the other party for a while, then wrote an order in person, stamped the seal of the left general, and handed it to the other party.
Gan Ning took his order and went to take the lead.
After Gan Ning left, Liu Feng saw Ling Tong standing outside the hall and waved to him.
"A Tong, is there anything wrong?"
Ling Tong personally killed three armored soldiers in this battle. His bravery had already shown his strength and performed quite well, although he was not as good as that of the people. Lu Meng, but he is not too far behind.
Considering that Ling Tong is much younger than Lu Meng, it is really hard to say who is better.
Of course, this is also because Lu Meng followed Liu Feng early in this life, not wasting a lot of time like in the original history.
Since he joined Liu Feng's command and was selected as a servant, Liu Feng has focused on education on both civil and military aspects.
Lu Meng and Ling Tong are often on duty for half a day and go to school for half a day. Their learning contents include speaking, learning calligraphy, mathematics and military strategy. It can be seen from this that as long as they do not die prematurely, their upper limit is likely to be higher than in history, especially Ling Tong, who died young.
After hearing Liu Feng's greeting, Ling Tong leaned over and bowed and reported: "Report to lord, Master Huang Zu wants to see you."
"Oh?"
>Liu Feng was a little surprised. When Huang Zu was sent, he had seen the other party. The other party was unconscious and frightened. It was so terrified that the six gods were at their peak.
When I talked to him, I didn't react much, but just made a promise like a wooden man, obviously just a mechanical reaction.
Now I suddenly want to ask to see myself, it seems that at least I am awake.
After a moment of pondering, Liu Feng nodded: "But, bring him to the study to see me."
"Here!"
Teacher Ling ordered him to leave for a while Afterwards, Huang Zu was brought over.
When they met again, Huang Zu's spirit recovered a lot, and it seemed like he was completely different from the first meeting.
As soon as he saw Liu Feng, Huang Zu immediately knelt down on the ground and worshiped him with great honor: "Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia County, pay homage to General Zuo!"
Liu Feng's heart moved, his eyes tightened Staring at Huang Zu, he nodded slowly and said, "Premier Huang, why are you arrogant before and respectful? You were the one who used the troops before, and you were the one who kneeled down to the ground today. Which one is your original intention?"
< br>Huang Zu's heart tightened, but his face remained unchanged. He replied respectfully: "Report to General Zuo, the former is me and the latter is me."
"Oh?"
Liu Feng asked again, "Why are you arrogant before and respectful before?"
Huang Zu's forehead touched the ground, trying hard to suppress the tension and fear in his heart, and tried his best to make a calm look and answered: "Previously," The soldiers resisted the Left General because Zu was the governor of Jiangxia County. Fang Bo appointed Zu as the prefect of one side and had the responsibility to protect the other side. The left general went upstream, and Zu had to raise troops to resist the Left General. "
Although Liu Feng is not the governor of Jingzhou, he already has the strength and situation to actually control Jiangxia County. More importantly, Huang Zu has become a prisoner. If he doesn't bow his head at this time, he will become a headless person to bow. Now.
It's just that although Huang Zu was a little tactful, he had a bit of a celebrity after all, and he had a little bit of a thorn in his words, which was really unnecessary. Since you have decided to kneel, it is beneficial to kneel down naturally.
Or don't kneel down, even if you die, you will have a good reputation.
This half-kneeling and half-standing is really disgusting.
"Oh, that means that the prefect only has Uncle Fang in his eyes, but no emperor?"
As soon as Liu Feng said this, Huang Zu almost fell into a fright.
The time Yangzhou sent troops this time was in the name of the court, to punish Liu Biao for sheltering rebels, and to use troops to Jingnan without the permission of the court, torture the local area, etc.
The words of Huang Zu are undoubtedly ironclad evidence for Liu Biao's neglect of the imperial emperor.
"How dare the guilty minister..."
Good guy, Huang Zu said something denied, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he put on the hat of the criminal.
Liu Feng also sighed a little. This was the King of Jiangxia under Liu Biao, and he was a famous minister among the famous scholars in Jingzhou.
Strictly speaking, he is Liu Biao's first confidant. Although Kuai Yue and Cai Mao seem to be in great power in Jingzhou, they have also served as the prefect of Nanjun, Jiangxia, Zhangling and other counties.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
But he served as the prefect for a short time. Not to mention that he was like a vassal state like Huang Zu, he could not even pee with the local powerful and powerful gentry.
Their ability to serve as prefect is more like Liu Biao trying to use the power of the Kuai and Cai families to check and balance local forces in order to achieve the goal of collecting power.
This is also why they cannot die like Huang Zu, since they became the prefect of Jiangxia.
So, among the four major families, only Huang Zu is actually considered a real territory. The most exaggerated thing is that even if he is Huang Zu's son, Huang She can take over from Cai Mao. The power of the prefect Zhangling also shows who Liu Biao trusts the most.
Although Huang Zu is stupid, he is not bad at all.
At least during his years in Jiangxia, the people of Jiangxia were able to live a stable life, and Huang Zu did not fish out of the waters. Although he was not a clean official, his hands were not too dark.
More importantly, the gentry and powerful people in Jiangxia County recognized him, which is very important.
Sun Ce and Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia several times in the original time and space, and each time they were fully prepared to send troops. Therefore, Huang Zu also tried his best to fight against the Sun family, including mobilizing the local powerful troops of Jiangxia County and county soldiers.
But Liu Feng was attacking suddenly, and Huang Zu caught him off guard. Not to mention mobilizing the tribe of the rich, he almost failed to gather smoothly even the Jiangxia army, whom he was directly under.
Otherwise, how could Huang Zu's Jiangxia army have only more than 20,000 people? At least 30,000 to 40,000.
If Liu Feng had not been successful in hiding his actions, he would not have faced the Jingzhou naval army with only 50,000 people. At least 30,000, or even 40,000.
Even if Liu Feng had confidence, he was still a little cautious when facing the main forces of the 80,000 to 90,000 Jingzhou naval forces.
After all, during a water war, a change in the wind direction may directly lead to the outcome of the battle situation.
Even though Liu Feng was very aware of the navy generals and corpses under his command, he did not dare to guarantee that when the wind suddenly changed drastically, the fire attack and smoke attack caused harm to his main formation, Zhou Tai and the others could still turn defeat into victory when the wind suddenly changed drastically, and the fire attack and smoke attack caused harm to their main formation. .
So, after the Zhouling Victory, it seemed that the Jiangxia naval army was wiped out, and even the Xiangyang naval army was severely damaged. However, in the counties and towns of Jiangxia County, there were still many Armed with a scale of 20,000 to 30,000 people.
It is a dream that these armed forces want to go out of the city to fight and defeat the Yangzhou army.
But if they just stay in the county town and defend the city to the death, it would be quite disgusting.
Even if Liu Feng has a giant catapult and a professional gun crew in his hand, he can't stand the attack from one city after another. You should know that Jiangxia County alone has sixteen counties and towns, including big cities such as Xiling, Anlu and Jingling.
If you really delay this, all the time Liu Feng had obtained before would be wasted.
So, Liu Feng had the idea of ​​persuading Huang Zu, and then let him win over Jiang Xia on his behalf.
"Since you call yourself a criminal, you must know your guilt."
Although Liu Feng looked down on Huang Zu, he looked magnanimous and took the initiative to expel Huang Zu: "Since that's the case, I have something to make you atone for your sins, but I don't know what you want. He was unwilling to do it."
Huang Zu was slightly stunned, and then he reacted, realizing what Liu Feng wanted him to do.
He was a little confused. It was ridiculous to say that what Huang Zu was worried about was not that things could not be done, or that things were too difficult, but that they were loyal to Liu Biao.
Yes, Huang Zu was quite loyal to Liu Biao, at least above Kuai Yue and Cai Mao.
Or otherwise, Liu Biao was beaten by Sun Jian and left the Xiangyang city gate. He was beaten by Sun Jian and was wiped out by the entire army. After fleeing alone, he returned to Jiangxia and pulled out another team to the north to work as a master.
Even with Huang Zu's eyesight, it can be seen that Liu Biao is in danger this time. Liu Feng mobilized a large army of 50,000 or 60,000 people, so he couldn't come to me, Huang Zu.
Although Huang Zu was a middle-aged man, he could understand the situation at this time even if he was stationed in Jiangxia.
Liu Feng currently has three roads to go, both upper, middle and lower. The best strategy is to take down Xiakou City, go north against the Han River and go straight to Xiangyang. As long as you conquer Xiangyang, there will be only other places left Things decided by the edict.
Zhongce is to lock in Xiakou and then go west to find trouble for the Jingbei Expedition Army. As long as the Jingbei Expedition Army is eaten, the subsequent initiative in the war will inevitably be firmly controlled by Liu Fengjun. In his hands, even if Xiangyang was not surrounded, Liu Biao could only be helpless.
The stupidest strategy is to siege Xiakou City while siege Jiangxia County, conquer the city and expand its territory, and first eat the fat meat from Jiangxia County to its mouth. .
It was precisely because Huang Zu saw this that he understood his own value.
Liu Feng obviously did not want to waste his troops on Jiangxia County, and at the same time he hoped to settle Jiangxia County as soon as possible. Even if he could not provide food, supplies, and weapons, as long as he did not drag him back, it would be of great help.
If you can provide a certain amount of food, grass and weapons, it will be more effective.
And does Jiangxia have these?
The answer is yes, and it is quite abundant.
The Jiangxia army has maintained a scale of 30,000 regular troops all year round. How could there be fewer military supplies? This time, the loss was so fast that most of these military supplies were not unsealed, but they could be called at any time.
