Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 91
Lu Xun led an army westward, first to Zhijiang, threatened that Guan Yu was defeated and died, Jiangling and Gongan had already fallen, and persuaded Zhijiang county magistrate to surrender.

In this era of inconvenient communication, Zhijiang county magistrate has no way of distinguishing true from false, but one thing is certain.

If Jiangling and the police were all right, it would be impossible for Soochow to jump over and beat him to Zhijiang County no matter what.

For a while, despair permeated Zhijiang County. The predicament he faced was the same as that of Zhao County Magistrate in Linhu County in Jiangdong, but the degree of despair was thousands of times greater.

There is no garrison in the county, and there are almost no crude defense facilities. Take the lead to guard?

He even had one road short of Zhao County Magistrate, and it was impossible to run away, and Lu Xun's army had already surrounded them.

If he hadn't wanted to take Zhijiang down without bloodshed, Lu Xun's army would have already broken through the county, and he wouldn't even have the chance to make a choice at this moment.

Surrender seemed to be the only way for him.

However, Zhijiang county magistrate made a choice beyond everyone's expectations.

He wanted to resist, and would rather die than surrender.

Zhang Xian, Zhang Wenxuan, the county magistrate of Zhijiang, wanted to take his head to defend him, and put his head on the neck.

The disparity between the enemy and ourselves is so great that it cannot even be described as disparity.

This is hitting a stone with a pebble.

So much so that County Magistrate Zhang's decision failed to gain anyone's support... Not to mention the rich gentry in the county, even the county government couldn't find a single person who was willing to resist.

Defeat is inevitable, resistance means death, there are people who are not afraid of death, but no one is willing to die so meaninglessly.

If there were only a thousand enemy troops, and even if there was even a ten thousandth chance of victory in the resistance, there would be people willing to put their heads on their belts and follow Zhang Zaigong!

But in the current situation, the hope of winning is zero.

No one supported him.

It's not that you are the leader, everyone will listen to you unconditionally.

But when everyone is willing to listen to you, you are the veritable leader.

Just at this moment, Zhang Zaigong, who used to speak his mind in Zhijiang, could no longer command anyone.

For this situation, Zhang Wenxuan had expected it, and he did not force it.

He just silently put on a leather armor that he had never worn before, and raised a spear with his usual pen-holding hand.

Ignoring the dissuasion of his family and the tears of his wife and children, he ordered people to open the gate of Zhijiang County.

The people in front of them are all enemy troops.

The banners of the phalanx stretched from day to day, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

How many thousands of people are these?Zhang Wenxuan couldn't figure it out. The largest army he had ever seen with his own eyes was only 2000 people.

"Hiss—" He took a deep breath, suppressed the primitive fear in his heart, and then roared with all his might.

"Zhang Wenxuan, the magistrate of Zhijiang County, is here! I have received great favor from the King of Hanzhong, and I would rather die than surrender! Kill—!"

When he brought the people across the river, he was also among them. He pretended to be dead and escaped the pursuit of Cao Jun, and he survived to this day by luck.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the voice of Mr. Zhang back then. Even if he exhausted all his strength, the sound of the killing word has already broken, and the shout can only be heard by the front row of the enemy army.

He struggled towards Lu Xun's army and staggered towards the big "Lu" flag.

He was fully armored and still carrying a spear. He was already panting from exhaustion before he had run more than half of the distance with the enemy, but he refused to stop.

It was extremely ridiculous, but no one could laugh, not even Wu Jun.

As for the wives, children, servants, and subordinates in the county, they were already crying. Some people were about to rush out, but they were grabbed by others.

Lu Xun, who was riding on a white horse, squinted at the man, and said two words: "Let the arrow go."

The flag bearer played the flag language behind him, and the archers bent their bows like a full moon, and a rain of arrows poured over them.

Zhang Wenxuan, magistrate of Zhijiang County, was shot by nine arrows, including two in the head, and died immediately.

However, the extreme tension before his death caused him to have corpse convulsions, skipping the stage of relaxation of the corpse, and directly entered the state of rigor.

His eyes were still open angrily, and the spear touched the ground, standing still.

However, people in this era, except Liu Chan and a small number of brilliant doctors, who knows this?
Wu Jun was horrified when he saw everything, and no one dared to step forward for a while.

"March into the army and bury this man." Lu Xun still gave orders flatly, like a precision machine without emotion.

The general order was issued, and the whole army had to advance according to the order.

It's just that all the soldiers passing by Zhang Wenxuan's body lowered their heads silently and walked away from him.

This was a serious violation of orders in the past, but this time Lu Xun did not pursue it.

He can fully understand the emotional fluctuations of other soldiers and comfort them, but there is no ripple in his heart.

Zhang Wenxuan's charge and death did not affect his mentality in any way.

In his own unique way, this person caused some small troubles for him to take over Zhijiang.

I'm afraid that no matter how much he commits no crime, and he cares for the people, he will not be able to make the people of Zhijiang return to their hearts in a short time.

If he captures this person, it will only lead to more troubles.

But that's all, it still can't change the fact that this person is a loser.

When Lu Xun was young, he witnessed his grandfather resisting Sun Ce for two years, and was finally defeated. Nearly half of the Lu family children died, and the grandfather who raised him also died of illness soon.

At that time, he knew clearly that only power and violence are supreme.

For this reason, he could abandon his emotions and serve his mortal enemy. A mere Zhang Wenxuan who would rather die than surrender would not touch him.

After the army entered Zhijiang, they quickly took control of important places such as the county government, granaries, and arsenals. Lu Xun sent people to appease the people as usual, and strictly ordered the army to do nothing to the people.

Soochow wanted to occupy Jingzhou, and would become the master of this place in the future. It was impossible to do things like burning, killing and looting. Lu Xun was not a kind person with a lot of kindness. He just had a very clear understanding of his strategic purpose.

However, from top to bottom, the people of Zhijiang, whether they were traffickers, pawns, rich gentry, or even local hooligans, were extremely indifferent to this.

Zhang Wenxuan used his own life to leave a spark in the hearts of Zhijiang people, and when the east wind blows, it will burn blazingly...

It's a pity that not all city officials are so bloody.

Lu Xun left 2000 people guarding the Zhijiang River, and the army continued westward along the river, and the next stop was Yidu.

There are two extremely important cities in Yidu County, one is Yidu City, the seat of Yidu County, and the other is Yiling County.

These two cities are both cities strangling the throat of the Yangtze River.

After Lu Xun's army arrived in Yidu City, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Fan You, the prefect of Yidu, had abandoned the city and fled without firing a shot.

Yidu is much better defended than Zhijiang City. Although it is not as good as Jiangling, Xiangyang and other larger strategic hubs, it can at least be called a city, and there are also defenders recruited in the city. Alien tribe.

However, the prefect of Yidu, Fan You, Zhang Wenxuan's immediate boss, still made the opposite of Zhang Wenxuan's move of abandoning the city, causing Lu Xun's army to take Yidu without bloodshed, and even caused officials and tribal leaders in the surrounding small towns to rush Look out for the wind...

At this time, Lu Xun received information from Kuaizhou that Guan Yu was heading north from Jiangling, and Sun Quan ordered him to intercept at the upper reaches of Mianshui.

Lu Xun thought for a while, and soon made the same judgment as Zhuge Jin, leaving 5000 people to guard Yidu and suspending the westward offensive.

The main force of the army came east again along the river, went north to Zhangshui, and took Maicheng lightly for a rest. Then the army rushed eastward and broke through Jingcheng upstream of Mianshui.

Interrogating the Jingcheng officials learned that Guan Yu's army had not passed through here, so the army stationed in Jingcheng, ready to intercept the Jingzhou army.

Pan Zhang's 5000 men had also crossed Xiashui and entered Mianshui, and ordered Zhao Fu to sail desperately, intending to pursue Guan Yu.

At this time, the Jingzhou army, which was supposed to be in a dilemma in Mianshui, was not on Mianshui at all.

Soon after Jiangling went north, before they reached Mianshui, the army set up camp to preserve their strength. The Jingzhou army, led by Liu Chan, was heading west all the way to the upper reaches of Zhangshui.

The current in this section of Zhangshui is gentle. If the army crosses this section, the Zhijiang River is not far away...
