Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2286 Wu Qi replaced the governor and sent troops to clear the Shanyue

This time, Wang He lost both his wife and his army.

If he held on to the end, even if the city was still inevitably destroyed and people died in the end, at least in the process, relying on the advantage of defense, he could still cause heavy casualties to the Jin army.

However, now, in order to gain a glimmer of hope for survival, he risked a breakout, not only failed to bring his troops out, but also fell into Zhang Liang's trap.

Not only did he lead his soldiers into a dead end, but Chang Yuchun and Qin Qiong, who followed behind him, easily captured Panyu, the largest city in Jiaozhou.

After entering the ambush, Wang He still did not give up. He organized his troops and launched seven counterattacks in one breath. However, it was all in vain. Only a few people such as Lu Ya and Wang Qingji relied on their own strong strength to fight their way out.

Although Xuanwu has tried his best to stop Lu Ya, he has no problem with strength, but the problem is that he is really no match for the opponent in speed.

Moreover, let alone comparing two legs to four legs, even if they both had two legs, he couldn't match the other in terms of speed.

Equipped with a heavy spear, heavy armor, and a heavy shield, he has developed his defensive capabilities to the extreme. He originally fought with a defensive and counterattack style, so speed was his biggest weakness.

By the time Gou Chen had dealt with his opponent and came to kill him, Lu Ya had already gotten rid of Xuanwu. Gou Chen and Chang Mao teamed up to chase him, but to no avail.

Yang Kan, a general at the pinnacle of the world, fought desperately but was killed by Gou Chen's ten-combination attack.

Even Wang He himself had his horse's leg broken by Jiu Chong's crescent-shaped shovel after his injury healed. He was tied up and committed suicide in the Jin camp ten months later.

Song Lian, the governor of Jiaozhou and Zhu Biao's general, also failed to break out.

Of course, it was a problem for him to break out as he was old and weak, and he was captured alive by several soldiers.

In addition, many outstanding people such as Yang Hong, Sang Shijie, Zhe Ji, Linggu Fu, and even Zhu Youjian who was from the Zhu family, died in this process.

Xu Youzhen, Xu Jing and other civil and military officials, like Wang He, were captured alive on the spot.

The entire territory of Jiaozhou fell, which meant that Zhu Yuanzhang now only had Yangzhou and the Jingnan region under his control.

Shortly after the Central Plains War entered its final stage, Zhu Yuanzhang's sphere of influence in the south was reduced by half.

Of course, it is only the surface area that has shrunk by half.

Although they are both in the same state, the value of Jiaozhou cannot be compared with that of Yangzhou or Jingzhou. The manpower and material resources are not at the same level at all.

However, the loss of Jiaozhou put Zhu Yuanzhang's forces in a completely disadvantageous strategic position.

Following the loss of Jiangxia, which put the northern front at a disadvantage, the southern front is now also at a strategic disadvantage.

Of course, Wu Qi did not launch an attack on Yangzhou immediately at this time.

At this time, Yangzhou and Jingnan had been surrounded on three sides by the Jin army, and their destruction was only a matter of time. Whether he sent troops late or early, it could not change the outcome of the other side's demise.

Moreover, Wu Qi had not yet finished his work in Jiaozhou. The situation in Jiaozhou was simply too complicated.

At that time, half of Jiaozhou was almost given to Zhu Yuanzhang by Liu Che, and Zhu Yuanzhang took it over peacefully. Therefore, in Jiaozhou, the local power system was extremely large.

Of course, if you compare them with the aristocratic families in the Central Plains, the aristocratic families in Jiaozhou may not be worth looking at. Not to mention the ordinary aristocratic families in Jiaozhou, even the former aristocratic families, or the current Song family, are all landowners and powerful people.

But the problem is that these landowners and powerful people have money, food and people.

Moreover, Jiaozhou was the hardest-hit area by the Shanyue.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had pacified the Shanyue at that time, he only dispersed them and arranged them in various places in Jiaozhou and southern Yangzhou. It does not mean that these people no longer existed.

Shanyue was already extremely disorganized, but now it was even more disorganized and out of scale.

Previously, Zhang Liang had used these Shanyue people to disrupt the rear of the Jiaozhou army. However, it is easier said than done. After these Shanyue people tasted the sweetness of looting again, they were reluctant to stop so easily.

Therefore, Wu Qi also needed to spend some time teaching these Shanyue people how to be human beings.

Although these Shanyue people do not pose any major threat in themselves, it takes some time to deal with them because they are too scattered.

At the same time, Wu Qi also used this time to wait for changes on the Jianghuai battlefield. Once a breakthrough was made on the Jianghuai battlefield, the north and south fronts could fully pressure Yangzhou and take the entire Yangzhou into his hands in one fell swoop.

Anyway, even if he hasn't officially sent troops to conquer Yangzhou, but with the limited number of troops in Yangzhou now, can he dare to transfer them to other places?
If he really dared to move, Wu Qi would be even happier. As long as he really dared to move, Wu Qi would order all the cavalry to charge towards Yangzhou the next moment.

The water system in the south is complex. Although it has a certain impact on the performance of the cavalry, it does not mean that the cavalry cannot run in the south.

However, during the process of rectifying Jiaozhou, there were some problems with the selection of the chief official of Jiaozhou, that is, the governor of Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is not the Central Plains, so it is not as convenient as Li Xiang being in charge of the Central Plains. After Li Xiang gives the order, he can immediately notify them to take up their posts.

It will take some time for the news from Jiaozhou to reach Li Xiang.

And after Li Xiang arranged for the governor of Jiaozhou to take office, he had to take a detour through Yizhou. In addition to the procedures involved, it would take at least half a year for him to take office.

However, for a position like the Jiaozhou Governor, if Li Xiang did not give the order, who would dare to give the order on his behalf?

You know, even if it was Wu Qi, he was just at the same level as the governor! If he dared to appoint a governor today, Li Xiang should consider whether to be ruthless to him! Even if Li Xiang couldn't bear it, there would be countless people who would persuade Li Xiang to be ruthless.

This kind of thing has definitely crossed the bottom line and touched on issues of principle.

However, the reorganization of Jiaozhou cannot be separated from a Jiaozhou governor. Only with such a person to take charge of the overall situation can the Jin army be mobilized with maximum efficiency.

As a last resort, Wu Qi could only take over the position temporarily and exercise military control in the name of military affairs. Then, he immediately sent someone to ask Li Xiang for instructions, and Li Xiang would decide on the specific candidate for the Governor of Jiaozhou.
