The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 366 Su Jun enters Jiankang

Su Jun looked at the estuary of the Yangtze River, commanded his warships, entered directly from the estuary of the Yangtze River, and sailed all the way upstream.

Because most of them were huge ships sailing on the sea, even the largest building ships of the Jin army, in the eyes of the warships of Su Jun and others, they were just small boats that were smashed to pieces by their own racquet sticks.

However, as the Yangtze River Estuary continues to tighten, it is impossible for sea-going ships to continue moving forward due to the draft.

Su Jun could only use a small boat to take the soldiers of his headquarters, about 10,000 people, and landed from Qu'a in Piling County and occupied Qu'a.

From here to Jiankang, only Danyang County is left as an obstacle, and the direct distance between the two sides is not even more than a hundred miles.

Su Jun did not hesitate and immediately attacked the local Danyang County. The Danyang County that the soldiers pointed at had already been wiped out of Danyang soldiers. Facing Su Jun's army, Danyang County was unable to resist. Danyang County only blocked Su Jun. Just three days.

After capturing Jurong and ensuring the connection between his rear and the fleet, Su Jun rushed towards Jiankang without any pause!

Su Jun knew very well that his Majesty had set the stage for him in this strategy. Liu Tai, Zhou Ping, and Zhao An, the three most capable and highest-ranking generals of the Han Dynasty, had set the stage for him. He would never let down their expectations.

At least, I definitely don’t want to go back to being on the bench again. I can’t miss this opportunity that I finally grabbed!

At this moment, Sima Shao, who was in Jiankang, received the news. He couldn't help but stand up and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"What are you talking about? The enemy troops came from the East China Sea and landed in Qu'a. Jurong is being attacked?!"

In an instant, everyone in the court burst into noise, because they never expected that Liu Tai actually had such an elite force, thrusting directly into the heart of the Jin court system from the flanks, Jiankang!

The courtiers' minds couldn't help but go blank, and they didn't even know whether they were fleeing, fighting, or surrendering at this time!
At this time, Yu Liang quickly stood up and said, "It's useless to talk about the current plan. I'll stick to Jiankang until the end, wait for foreign generals to ask for help, or send a good general to stop the enemy. After all, we need to work out a plan. Come!"

After hearing Yu Liang's words, everyone present couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other, hoping that Yu Liang would pay attention.

But Zhuge Hui stood up decisively and said, "Now that the Han army has sent a partial division, it must be extremely elite. We should retreat to Jingzhou and join forces with Governor Tao. Maybe we can still have a chance to fight."

"Nonsense, have you forgotten the misfortune our Jin court encountered in Yongjia? It was Taifu Wang and Donghai Hua Wang who insisted on moving the capital, which caused our Jin court to be in a corner of peace!" Yu Liang said righteously, "We can't leave the government no matter what. !”

After hearing what Yu Liang said, those who originally advocated moving the capital and fleeing could not help but favor Yu Liang.

After all, it had only been ten years since the Yongjia Rebellion, and almost everyone in the court had experienced that story.

Sima Shao also recalled the embarrassment in which his father came to the land of Jiangdong in a hurry. Now facing Yu Liang, he really couldn't make up his mind to escape. He took a deep breath and said,
"Although the Han army is brave, the Jin Dynasty is not difficult to defeat. The enemy generals are ferocious, and the kings are not in vain. One battle is enough!"

Sima Shao's blood surged, and he pulled out the sharp sword in his hand. As he spoke, he slashed hard at his desk, directly cutting the desk into two pieces. He gasped slightly and continued, "We are united as one, so the Han army It’s definitely hard to make any progress!”

When all the courtiers saw Sima Shao's statement, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, as long as Sima Shao is still there, everyone still has more or less hope of supporting them, even if they are besieged from all sides and the building is about to collapse.

But there is still Jiankang City. Thinking of this, these ministers couldn't help but muster some courage.

At this moment, a guard quickly came to the door of the hall and shouted loudly, "Report! Urgent military situation!"

Seeing this scene, a chamberlain quickly sent the information in the guard's hands to Sima Shao.

When Sima Shao saw this information, his eyes suddenly glared, and his heart was filled with anger. His body, which was already a bit sick, couldn't bear it any longer. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and sat down limply. On your seat!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" This sudden scene made everyone in the court stunned.

Because they didn't expect that Sima Shao, who had just spoken passionately, would actually vomit blood.

At this time, Yu Liang and Zhuge Hui hurriedly stepped forward to support Sima Shao. They also saw that the information in Sima Shao's hand said that Jurong had fallen and Su Jun's army was heading towards Jiankang!
When the two saw this information, they looked at each other and were about to say something, but Sima Shao had already stood up and said:

"I'm fine, but I've become a little more angry recently. Now that the enemy has conquered Jurong, is there anyone willing to lead our imperial guards to go out of the city and fight the Han army to protect the foundation of the imperial court?"

Sima Shao knew very well that if he hadn't spit out the bruise just now, he would have choked to death.

But after he vomited it out, although he survived, it also had a very bad impact on the court.

Under normal circumstances, he should be stationed in Jiankang City and wait for reinforcements.

But in this situation, Sima Shao had to wonder whether someone really felt that his health was in decline, so he decisively surrendered to the Han army.

After all, Liu Tai had set out the conditions for enfeoffment. If someone could directly obtain enfeoffment by selling himself, Sima Shao had to wonder whether someone would really do this.

There was no way, even though Sima Shao was already considered a very wise man among the Jin emperors, but being dragged down by his ancestors, he had to assume the worst ill will towards his ministers, because even if they surrendered voluntarily, they would be cleaner than the Sima family. .

After all, now that the three rejuvenations of the Yan-Han Dynasty are imminent, the temptation of enfeoffment is ahead, and these people have never been loyal to the Jin court.

It is really unrealistic for Sima Shao to trust these courtiers when his life and death are in crisis.

Therefore, Sima Shao knew very well that his only chance now was to fight the Han army to the death outside Jiankang City.

If they fall into a defensive battle, the other side doesn't have to attack. There are many leading parties in Jiankang City who are willing to surrender.

It can be said that from the perspective of war, Sima Shao should not take the initiative to attack, but in the current situation, Sima Shao must either flee or fight. As for defending Jiankang City, when he vomited blood in front of everyone, he would not It may be implemented.

Sima Shao couldn't help but look around at the crowd. Wherever he looked, he saw courtiers lowering their heads, fearing that Sima Shao would look at him.

Because they feel that when they lead the troops, they are simply sending them off!

Zhuge Hui stood up and said with a sincere expression, "Your Majesty, now that the bandit army is strong, our army should defend Jiankang and wait for reinforcements!
And Yu Liang said, "Your Majesty has the will to fight hard, and his subordinates have the ambition of Wei Qing. I will obey your Majesty's orders!"

When Sima Shao heard Yu Liang's words, he couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable. After all, he was not alone in this court, but Sima Shao recognized Yu Liang's loyalty. But I have some doubts about Yu Liang's ability, even though Yu Liang is a famous scholar and a relative.

But the problem is that Yu Liang has almost no experience in leading troops independently. After the Wangdun Rebellion was quelled by Tao Kan, it was only the subsequent deserters and rebels that allowed Yu Liang to accumulate experience.

"You can ask Jiangling Bo to take over, or you can give it a try!" Yu Liang also understood to some extent that Sima Shao wanted to garrison at first, but changed it to attack due to political factors.

So Yu Liang could only win over Lu Ye, who was the strongest in Jiangdong at the moment.

"I want you two to lead the Jin army and annihilate the Han thieves!" Sima Shao said loudly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

At this time, Lu Ye couldn't help but widen his eyes. Do you two want to see what you are talking about?
Have you forgotten how Director Wang and Sima Rui deceived and bullied our Jiangdong family when they came to Jiangdong? ?
Now that the Jin Dynasty is in turmoil, you think of my Jiangdong Lu family. You are so cruel!

Although Lu Ye was extremely unwilling in his heart, he originally just wanted to watch Jin Ting and Yan Han fight, and the Lu family of Wu County would join him, whichever was stronger at that time. He never expected that Yu Liang would drag him with him even to death!

Sima Shao quickly dismissed the court meeting and handed the tiger talisman to Yu Liang, who asked Yu Liang to take the remaining 5,000 forbidden troops to destroy Su Jun.

Yu Liang immediately approached Lu Ye and said, "If we lose this battle, it will be a battle of national subjugation. If we win this battle, it will highlight the Lu family's reputation. I am willing to give the general full authority to command, so that the general can do his best." With all your heart!”

"Why did the general recommend Lu for such an errand?" Lu Ye looked at Yu Liang and said.

Yu Liang said calmly: "Because the general is the descendant of the Lu family in Wu County, Jiangdong once said that if the Lu family is destroyed, Jiangdong will be destroyed. Whether it is the ancestors Lu Xun or Lu Kang, they burned Yiling in the autumn of life and death, or they used their last efforts. , protecting Soochow, you can see Lu's character.

Now that the Jin Dynasty is in danger of being destroyed, who can Jiangnan be entrusted to today? At least Jiangling Bo, you don’t want your late grandfather to be humiliated, right? "

At this moment, when Lu Ye heard Yu Liang's words, he really wanted to take out the sword, so he hit Yu Liang with a red knife in and a white knife out, asking Yu Liang to take a look. Could it be that his family's moral heirloom was going to be ruined by someone else? Pointing a sword at your neck? !

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a bit desolate when he thought of this. His Lu family was really desolate.

Regardless of whether he resisted Shu or the Jin court, he used too much force and was suppressed by the Jin court.

After finally getting a land plane, he was sent to deal with the rebels in a desperate situation, and now it was his turn to have this bad luck happen again.

Lu Ye had wondered more than once, what was wrong with the feng shui of his Lu family? Why was it that he didn't get his turn every time he was reused? But when the dynasty was in danger, he had to do the job of blocking crossbows. It was unfair!
Of course, this was what Lu Ye was shouting in his heart, but Lu Ye still brought the family's five thousand private soldiers.

Because Lu Ye knew very well that he could die, but the character of his family could not be lost, and the reputation of his ancestors could not be dishonored.

If you die, as long as the Lu family's character is still there, then the Lu family will be revived. But if you escape, the Lu family's character will be gone, and the people of Wu County will be ashamed to associate with the Lu family, then even if they leave behind private soldiers The land is probably not far from destruction.

Yu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Ye and the Lu family's private soldiers had arrived.

There are so many aristocratic families in Jiangnan, and the Lu family is the most reliable when the country is destroyed. Of course, in normal times, the Lu family will never be entrusted with important responsibilities.

After all, the Lu family is famous in the Jiangnan area, has private soldiers, and has wealth. If they become high-ranking officials, how can they govern it.

Not to mention, since Director Wang, suppressing the Jiangnan family has been a tacit understanding among the noble families who came from the south.

If he hadn't been awake at the most critical moment, Yu Liang wouldn't have approached the Jiangnan Lu family and asked them to take over.

Therefore, although on the surface Yu Liang was the leader and Lu Ye was the auxiliary, in fact Yu Liang followed Lu Ye's orders and chose to attack the Han army outside the city with the Jin court's last healthy military strength.

"They actually dare to come out!?" When Su Jun heard the report of the scouts coming to Jiankang, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, it was not a bad thing for Su Jun that the siege battle turned into a field battle.

Su Jun didn't hesitate at all. For Su Jun, no matter what enemy he faced, he had to kill him because Jiankang had determined it himself.

Lu Ye and Su Jun, one carries the legacy of their family's character, and the other expresses the fighting spirit accumulated over the years. However, this war outside Jiankang City ultimately depends on the elite and bravery of the soldiers on both sides.

It was just a fighting. Lu Ye's private army did not collapse, Su Jun's soldiers did not collapse, and the imperial army led by Yu Liang collapsed directly after losing a layer of soldiers. They simply could not withstand this intensity. war.

Su Jun looked at the situation in front of him and felt quite different. Originally, Su Jun thought that he would definitely have a hard fight, but inexplicably some of the enemy's soldiers wearing luxurious armor suddenly collapsed during the fight.

Moreover, they also led another group of troops, who looked like elite soldiers, into chaos, allowing themselves to win inexplicably.

"Are these guys undercover agents sent by us?"

Lu Ye just inherited a family of famous generals, not that he was a famous general in the world. He could still fight in the face of his own private soldiers. As a result, the imperial imperial army collapsed first. Lu Ye said that he had never seen such a thing in history, so Lu Ye This was not considered at all.

But when the Imperial Guards were unable to withstand the fighting, the army's defeat was inevitable.

Lu Ye sighed and only ordered his son Lu Kan to surrender to Su Jun, but he could only draw his sword and kill himself.

This is not to die for the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, but to die for the inheritance of the Lu family's character!
For the sake of the Lu family, Lu Ye had no choice.

As for Yu Liang, he had been following Lu Ye. Compared to Lu Ye who chose to kill himself, Yu Liang combed his clothes, straightened his clothes, took out the jade pendant he had prepared, and decisively handed it to Su Jun when he came.

"You are very distinguished?" Su Jun looked at Yu Liang's posture and didn't know how to complain for a while.

"If I win, I will be more graceful!" Yu Liang showed no fear when facing Su Jun.

"..." Su Jun couldn't help but be in awe, but said to his soldiers,
"Let Lu Ye be buried alive and well. Don't neglect Mr. Yu Liang. After cleaning the battlefield, we will enter Jiankang!"
