Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 980 2 Conditions

These days, Jiangbei has been sunny continuously, and the night is no longer so humid and cold. The air is slightly warmer, but the cold spring still makes it difficult for Cao Jun's soldiers to survive the night.

Tonight, Cao Jun’s camp was full of restlessness and uneasiness. The soldiers had no tents and wrapped their bodies in blankets. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss. No one showed the paper, but everyone was talking excitedly about the content on the paper.

The content on the piece of paper has long been deciphered, but in fact there is only one sentence, "Surrender to the Han army, let you go home, and reunite with your wife, children, and parents." '

No one will doubt the sincerity of Han Wang Liu Jing. As early as nine years ago after the Chibi War, Liu Jing ordered the release of nearly 20 Cao Jun prisoners of war, allowing them to go home and reunite with their families. The prisoners of war also returned home a few years later with a sum of money on them.

The saying that the king of Han treats people with kindness has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Besides, everyone knows that the taxes in the Han country are low, and everyone has land. these soldiers.

It was also difficult for the officers to stop the soldiers from gathering and discussing, so they could only close their eyes and hide in their tents, thinking about their own affairs.

In the entire Cao army camp, except for the chief general, no one wanted to work for Cao Cao anymore, and the morale of the army had gradually weakened.

Yu Jin was in a heavy heart, drinking alone in the big tent. Although he boosted morale on the surface and maintained the hope of Cao Jun, he didn't have much confidence in himself.

He knows better than anyone else that the food in the barracks can only last for seven or eight days, and Cao Zhen is far away in Huaibei, so it is impossible for him to come to Guangling to rescue him. Even if Cao Cao knows that he is trapped, it will be at least half a month later. By then the army had already run out of food.

Even he doesn't know what to do?Surrendering to the Han army, he can't do it yet, but if the whole army is wiped out.It was also difficult for him to explain to Wei Gong, and Yu Jin was in a state of confusion about the future.

At this moment, a soldier broke into the big tent and shouted in horror: "General, all the soldiers in the West Camp have surrendered!"

"what!"

Yu Jinteng stood up, his eyes were red, "Have all the 5000 people surrendered?"

"Not all of them, but there are less than a thousand left."

Yu Jin clenched his fists, his chest heaved violently, but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes. In fact, he should have imagined all this. The Han army threw so many pieces of paper. The words on these pieces of paper were more lethal than ten thousand barrels of kerosene. He clearly Knowing that there would be a large-scale escape, but he didn't stop it, isn't it because he knew that he couldn't stop the soldiers' desire to survive?

Yu Jin sighed, and sat down slowly again, with a helpless and depressed expression. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "How is the situation in the rest of the camp?"

The soldier shook his head, "I don't know about the humble position, I only heard about Xiying."

Yu Jin smiled wryly, needless to say he also wanted it, it should be almost the same!

"General!" Another soldier from outside the tent came to report, panting, "A large number of soldiers defected from the northern and eastern camps, and General Xu and General Ma also surrendered to the Han army."

Yu Jin was no longer surprised, even if all the soldiers ran away, he would no longer be shocked. He knew that the general situation was over, and it was time for him to consider his own path.

After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Yu Jin suddenly stood up and said, "Get all my soldiers!"

Yu Jin had 300 soldiers, all of whom had followed him for many years and were loyal to him. At this time, some soldiers brought [-] horses, wine, meat and food.

Yu Jin looked at the sky and saw that it was already the third watch. He said to the soldiers: "If we don't leave before dawn, we really won't be able to leave. Let's have a full meal and bring a bucket of rice each. We take advantage of the night to leave." Rush out, no matter who rushes out, they have to go to Yedu to report the truth, do you remember?"

Everyone agreed abruptly, each took wine and meat, had a full meal, tightened their armor, put on their spears, knives and bows, and mounted Yu Jin's horse. He shouted to the three hundred cavalrymen behind him, "Come out with me!"

Three hundred cavalry suddenly mobilized and rushed northwest. Yu Jin had long discovered that there were not many defenders in this area, and it seemed that a gap had been deliberately left. He suspected that this was because the Han army deliberately created opportunities for him to leave, and then the two Wan Cao's army had no leader and could only surrender.

At this time, Cao Jun soldiers fled to the Han army camp everywhere under the hill. There were tens of thousands of people all over the sky, and the morale of Cao Jun had completely collapsed. Come to surrender!"

Many of the voices were those of Yu Jin's familiar generals. His heart was pierced like a knife, and he galloped without saying a word. Although there were not many three hundred cavalrymen, they charged down the hill with the momentum still like a frantic black dragon. , but to everyone's surprise, they didn't encounter death threats, and they didn't even hear unfriendly shouts. They rushed out from the gap in the northwest without any soldiers blocking them.

The moment he rushed out of the gap, Yu Jin suddenly had an annoyed thought in his heart. Should he lead the army to break through earlier, and maybe save most of the army, but this thought only passed for a moment, and his reason told him that the Han army could Tolerating 300 of them fleeing does not mean that his army will also be tolerated breaking out.

Although there was still darkness ahead, the shadow of death had disappeared from their hearts. The three hundred cavalry galloped towards the northwest wilderness, and the sound of horseshoes gradually disappeared.

In the spring of the 22nd year of Jian'an, [-] Cao troops surrendered to the Han army in Guangling County. The general Jin took advantage of the "defense gap" of the Han army and led [-] soldiers to escape. Without the general, the last few thousand soldiers also gave up. Resist and surrender to the Han army at dawn.

Gan Ning immediately led his army to the south. Zhou Bing, the prefect of Guangling, felt that Sun Quan did not have the will to defend Guangling, so he surrendered to the Han army. The Han army occupied Guangling County, an important town in Jiangbei, without bloodshed.

Gan Ning immediately deployed his troops. He deployed [-] Han troops and [-] warships on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and set up three naval camps from Liyang to Guangling. The army was taken back from Cao Jun and belonged to Han. For Jiangdong, Han's garrison in Jiangbei was like a huge stone pressing on their heads, making it difficult for them to breathe.

They are like poor little animals being threatened, they only want to curl up back to their nests, but there is also a poisonous thorn in their nests that makes them even more afraid, and that is the warship of the Han Army in Taihu Lake.

.......

Zhuge Jin arrived at Ruxukou the day after Gan Ning occupied Guangling County. The camp of the Han army was not in Hefei, where they had fought hard for a year, but in Ruxukou, where they captured Hefei and Shouchun. It's like an arrow, including Han Wang Liu Jing, he has been in Hefei for a whole year, he should go home, and Ruxukou is the first choice for them to go home.

Zhuge Jin was led by soldiers to the main ship of the Han army, a huge ship with five thousand stones. In the cabin on the second floor, Liu Jing was writing a letter to his family at his desk. Alright, wait in the cabin on the first floor."

Liu Jing put down his pen, put away the letter from home, nodded and said with a smile: "Go and invite Junshi Pang to the cabin!"

Not long after, Liu Jing came to the cabin. At this time, Pang Tong was talking with Zhuge Jin. Seeing Liu Jing coming in, both of them stood up. Zhuge Jin stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "Zhuge Jin is meeting His Highness the King of Han!"

"So it's Duke Zhuge, we haven't seen each other for several years, please sit down!"

Liu Jing asked Zhuge Jin to sit down politely, and served tea again. Liu Jing smiled again and said, "Did Zhuge Gong hear what happened in Guangling County?"

Zhuge Jin was taken aback, he didn't understand why Liu Jing would take the initiative to bring up the matter of Guangling County, and he couldn't deny it, so he nodded, "I've heard about it too."

"Who does Zhuge think Guangling County should belong to?" Liu Jing asked again.

"I think Guangling County belongs to Jiangdong. Not only are the officials appointed by Marquis Wu, but even the garrison is Jiangdong Army. Of course, it may not be now, but His Highness cannot deny its original ownership."

Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, "Could it be the land of the king, not to mention Guangling County, even Jiangdong is the territory of the Han Dynasty, Wuhou is just entrusted by the court to govern Jiangdong for the emperor, isn't it? "

Zhuge Jin was silent for a moment and said: "If Your Highness insists on saying this, I have nothing to do with it, but justice is in the hearts of the people. I think people in the world will judge whether it is morally right for His Highness to occupy Guangling County."

Liu Jing chuckled, "If the imperial court appoints me, Liu Jing, as the prefect of Guangling, would that be fair?"

"As I said just now, justice is in the hearts of the people!"

The smile on Liu Jing's face disappeared, and he nodded and said, "It seems that Jiang Dong must take the initiative to declare that he will give up Guangling, which is a moral act. I wonder if Duke Zhuge just wanted to talk to me about this matter when he came here this time. ?”

At this time, no matter how stupid people are, they will understand Liu Jing's meaning. He means that he hopes that Jiangdong will take the initiative to admit that Guangling County belongs to the Han Kingdom, and he can exchange it with other conditions. Of course, this condition is the issue of the Taihu Lake garrison, and most people think so , I will also think it is a good deal, and use the withdrawal of troops from Taihu Lake in exchange for the recognition of the fait accompli.

However, Zhuge Jin was very calm. He knew that Liu Jing would never be self-confident and put himself to death. Liu Jing guided his thoughts to Guangling County first. Perhaps he wanted to resolve the ownership of Guangling County before talking about the Taihu Garrison. question.

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "I didn't come to see His Highness because of Guangling County. Frankly speaking, I don't know exactly what happened in Guangling County, so I can't talk about it. This time I came to see Your Highness. Entrusted by Marquis Wu, I want to talk to His Highness about the Taihu garrison issue."

Liu Jing saw that Zhuge Jin was not fooled at all and was not confused by his own words, so he had to secretly praise Zhuge Jin for his calmness and rationality. After pondering for a moment, Liu Jing asked with a smile: "I wonder how much decision-making power Zhuge Gong has? I plan to Just go back to Chang'an, if you can't make a decision today, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Jiangdong to send an envoy to Chang'an to talk."

"I have a certain amount of power. I can make decisions on behalf of Marquis Wu only within reasonable limits, but if His Highness asks for a price, I'm sorry I can't do anything."

"What is exorbitant asking price? I will never offer unrealistic conditions, and as long as I offer conditions, I will not change them."

Liu Jing's tone was very flat, but the flat tone was full of domineering and tyrannical, that is to say, Jiang Dong had no choice but to stop talking, or he could only accept Liu Jing's conditions.

Zhuge Jin secretly sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to ask: "I would like to hear about His Highness's conditions."

Liu Jing then slowly said: "The Han army will withdraw [-]% of the navy from Taihu Lake, and the remaining [-]% of the navy will be stationed in Yangxian, West Taihu Lake. In order to withdraw this time, Jiangdong must agree to two conditions. First, Jiangdong is not allowed to build warships, nor is it allowed to privately build warships in the name of civilian ships; second, Jiangdong must admit that Guangling County is included in the Han-Cao armistice agreement, that is, it must publicly recognize that Guangling County belongs to the imperial court, and It doesn’t belong to Jiangdong, as far as these two conditions are concerned, as soon as Jiangdong fulfills them, I will withdraw from Taihu Lake.”
