Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2317: Hefei Falls, Generals Surrender to Jin

Although Guo Ziyi's basic command value seems to be only 98 points.

This level is actually very high, but if compared with all the system characters in history, this level is not considered top-notch.

However, it must be said that Guo Ziyi has a powerful skill. With that powerful skill, it is not impossible for him to be comparable to the god-level commander.

Just like Chen Qianzhi and Xiang Yu, each of them possesses an extremely powerful skill. When they are at their most powerful, their abilities are definitely better than many god-level commanders.

However, compared with Chen Qingzhi and Xiang Yu, Guo Ziyi is obviously more comprehensive, and his activation conditions are not as complicated and extreme. It can be said that it is not wrong to regard Guo Ziyi as a semi-god-level commander.

Moreover, you must know that Guo Ziyi is following a comprehensive development route, even his skills are also on the comprehensive development route. His command can get a super high enhancement, and this enhancement can also be replaced by his intelligence when necessary.

In many cases, he is even more difficult to deal with than many god-level commanders.

Even Wang Jian couldn't say anything about his strategy. The two sides had similar ideas. After being intimidated by Guo Ziyi, the two men wanted to win without fighting.

Tang Shengzong, the defender of Hefei, was a man of both civil and military talents, and was also Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant!

At this critical moment, Zhu Di entrusted him with an important task and asked him to guard the important city of Hefei.

He was assisted by the great generals Bu Zhi, Shi Qi and Xiong Yiliao.

Bu Zhi was also a man of both civil and military talents.

In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Bu Zhi has little presence, and many people are even unfamiliar with this name. Bu Zhi appeared three times in the novel. The first time was when Zhuge Liang debated with scholars, the second time was when he was an envoy to negotiate peace with Cao Cao, and the third time was when he offered advice to Sun Quan, captured Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, and asked for peace with Liu Bei. Although Bu Zhi was a cameo character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was a genius in history.

When Bu Zhi sought refuge in Jiangdong, he met Yan Jun and Zhuge Jin. The three of them traveled around Jiangdong together and gradually gained recognition from the world, "and became famous and were considered handsome men of the time."

In 209, Bu Zhi was appointed as the Eastern Division Official of the General of Chariots and Cavalry and the Official in Charge of the Central Government, becoming Sun Quan's trusted assistant. A year later, Sun Quan appointed Bu Zhi as the Governor of Poyang.

In the same year, Bu Zhi received a mission. Sun Quan appointed him as the governor of Jiaozhou, appointed him as the general of Wuzhonglang, and led a thousand men to govern the Jiaozhou area. At that time, the situation in Jiaozhou was very complicated. Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu, had "secretly harbored ulterior motives", and Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhi, was in power.

However, Bu Zhi had limited power, so the journey to Jiaozhou was extremely difficult.

However, Bu Zhi completed the task successfully. He designed a plan to kill Wu Ju, which greatly enhanced his reputation. He then subdued Shi Xie and brought Jiaozhou under the rule of Eastern Wu.

Bu Zhi achieved considerable political achievements during his administration of Jiaozhou. On the one hand, he suppressed local rebel forces, and on the other hand, he promoted the development of the Jiaozhou region.

At the same time, Bu Zhi also recruited rebels and sent envoys to support the rebellion of Yong Kai, a nobleman in Yizhou. In 220, Sun Quan sent Lü Dai to replace Bu Zhi as the governor of Jiaozhou. That year, Bu Zhi entered Jiaozhou with a thousand men, and when he left, he led an army of to the north.

At that time, Liu Bei was mobilizing troops to attack the Eastern Wu. Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang counties in Jingzhou all rebelled in response to Liu Bei. Bu Zhi suppressed the rebels along the way and ensured the stability of southern Jingzhou.

Bu Zhi guarded Xiling for more than 20 years, and his reputation spread to Wei and Shu, and his neighboring enemies respected his prestige. In addition, Bu Zhi had good military management skills and won the hearts of the soldiers, "his joy and anger were not revealed on his face, and he was solemn both inside and outside."

If these two people worked together, with Hefei as a strong city, and if there were no internal problems or interference from factors such as food and grass, it would be impossible for Guo Ziyi to capture Hefei in a short time. However, what was helpless was that they had the most serious internal problems.

Under Li Xiang's order, Guo Ziyi massacred ten cities in the Jianghuai region, leaving millions of corpses, thousands of miles of blood, and rivers drying up. The massacre brought the most direct deterrent to the Jianghuai region. The best proof of this was that every time the Jin army passed through a county, they were all frightened and voluntarily opened the city to surrender.

Therefore, Hefei’s biggest problem at this time was their internal problems.

Among the many noble families in Hefei, how many were willing to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang to be buried with their entire family? They were not sick, and they went to be buried with Zhu Yuanzhang with the names of their entire family. If they were to be buried alone, they might have done it for the sake of a good reputation.

The soldiers and civilians in the city were already in panic.

Even including Bu Zhi, the second-in-command in the city today.

"Hey!"

"Guo Ziyi is already at the gates of the city, and our army has no more help. It's only a matter of time before the city falls!"

"If we are loyal to the Lord, then that's fine, but how innocent are the people in this city?"

In a mansion in the darkness, the head of a noble family sighed.

"My lord, it is indeed inappropriate to involve all the people of Jianghuai!" Another head of a noble family spoke up.

"Yes, if it weren't for the lord and the people of Jianghuai region who were mobilized as soldiers, I'm afraid the Jin army wouldn't have reacted so fiercely!"

"It's a pity that Jianghuai is suffering so much now. It may take decades to recover!" another old man sighed.

In their opinion, if Zhu Yuanzhang had not been so desperate as to mobilize all the people to serve as soldiers, how could Li Xiang have issued such a drastic order?

Now, they could only quietly complain about Zhu Yuanzhang. They couldn't complain about Li Xiang, right? If the people from Luowang heard it, they would die.

"General Tang is really foolishly loyal!"

"This is treating the lives of the entire city as a joke!" Bu Zhi, who had been sitting in the main seat, spoke up.

Although he is not from the Jianghuai family or the Hefei family, as the second in command in the city, he naturally has a say.

Everyone present nodded in fear.

They all had no doubt that Guo Ziyi had already laid siege to the city. If they did not open the city and surrender within three days as Guo Ziyi had said, Guo Ziyi would once again order a massacre after the city was captured.

The grass had started to grow on the graves of those generals or county magistrates who had doubted Guo Ziyi's determination. Even the city where they were located had turned into a huge cemetery.
