LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 369
Guan Yu raised his head and shot his male eyes at the Shu soldiers in front of him.
With one strike, his leader fell to the ground. Guan Yu's divine power had completely shattered the remaining will of the Shu soldiers.
No one dares to fight anymore, no one dares to run away.
Hundreds of Shu soldiers dropped their weapons on the ground and kneeled down to Guan Yu in droves.
Before sunset.
On the tower of Huangshi Guanxi City, a"Han" flag has been raised.
This important town in Shu was recovered by the Han army.
Breaking through is just the beginning.
Guan Yu didn't stop for a moment, and immediately led the victorious army out of Huangshi Pass and marched all the way towards Jiangzhou.
At dawn the next day.
The vanguard of the Han army reached the gates of Jiangzhou City.
According to Wu Yi's prior deployment, he took away 7,000 of the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou City to guard Huangshi Pass.
There are three thousand soldiers and horses left in Jiangzhou.
After all, with Huangshi Pass as a guard and three thousand soldiers and horses guarding Jiangzhou, it was absolutely foolproof.
As long as we wait two more days, the 10,000 reinforcements sent from Chengdu will arrive in Jiangzhou City.
Introduction time.
Jiangzhou will have nearly 13,000 people.
Even if Huangshi Pass is lost, these 13,000 people are enough to defend Jiangzhou and resist the 50,000 Han army. pity.
Wu Yi had calculated everything, but he never expected that Huangshi Pass would fall suddenly without any warning.
He himself was defeated and captured, and became Guan Yu's prisoner.
When the news spread back to Jiangzhou, the morale of the three defenders was in chaos.
When Guan Yu arrived at Jiangzhou City, the Shu troops defending the city were leaderless and had no intention of fighting. They dispersed and abandoned the city to flee west.
This important town in Yizhou, second only to Chengdu and equivalent in strategic location to Nanzheng, thus became an undefended city.
Guan Yu captured Jiangzhou without any bloodshed.
At this point, Guan Yu just ordered the army to stop advancing westward and rest on the spot.
Without him, the battle line is too long.
From Yuwei City to Jiangzhou City, although there are only seven or eight cities along the way, it stretches for five hundred miles.
The Han army attacked five hundred miles from Yuwei City in one breath and captured Jiangzhou. It was the end of its powerful crossbow.
The soldiers' mental and physical strength has reached the limit, and the logistics supplies are beginning to be unable to keep up.
If they continue to advance westward, they will face the numerically superior Shu army with a small number of forward troops, and they will obviously have little chance of winning.
After comprehensive consideration, Guan Yu decisively ordered to stop in Jiangzhou, calm people's hearts on the spot, and wait for the follow-up army to arrive.
Two days later.
Deng Mu led more than 40,000 troops and rushed to Jiangzhou City one after another.
The Han army's 50,000 Jingzhou regiments all gathered in Jiangzhou.
In the county mansion, a celebration banquet has been held.
Guan Yu held a banquet and congratulated the generals on their success in capturing Jiangzhou.
"Jiangzhou is captured, and further west is the Chengdu Plain. The Shu army will no longer have any majestic passes or dangerous passes to stop us."
"It is only a matter of time before General Guan takes Yizhou."
"Mu first toasted General Guan and congratulated General Guan on opening up new territory for the emperor, and then moved on to the next state."
Deng Mu laughed and toasted to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu laughed, but did not dare to be arrogant, so he immediately raised his glass and said:
"If it weren't for the prime minister's miraculous calculation, how could Yu have broken the belly of the fish so quickly and then went to Jiangzhou?"
"This glass of wine is Prime Minister Yu Jing’s scheming!"
Deng Mu smiled, did not refuse, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Prime Minister, what do you think we should do with Shu general Wu Yi?"
Guan Yu thought about Liu Zhang's relative, the Shu general he captured with his own hands.
Deng Mu sipped his wine and said calmly:
"Mu also said before that we need to set another example so that those in Yizhou who are still loyal to Liu Zhang can see what they can gain by surrendering to me."
"This Wu Yi is a relative of Liu Zhang and can be regarded as a general in Shu. Recruiting this person is the best example. Guan
Yu nodded slightly and said:
"What the Prime Minister said is true."
"But you also said that this Wu Yi is a relative of Liu Zhang. Is he willing to surrender to the emperor?"
Deng Mu smiled and said nothing.
Wu Yi is indeed a relative of Liu Zhang, which is true.
But he is not die-hardly loyal to Liu Zhang.
Wu Yi in history chose to surrender when the situation was over. Old Liu.
In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Shu, Old Liu even married Wu Yi's sister, Liu Zhang's widowed sister-in-law, and made her the queen.
Deng Mu knew that this period of history existed, so he naturally dared to conclude that Wu Yi I won’t celebrate Liu Zhang’s death
"Don't worry, General Guan, I have a way to make him surrender to the Han Dynasty."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Deng Mu had a determined smile in his eyes.
Seeing that he was so confident, Guan Yu no longer had to worry about anything. He immediately ordered Wu Yi to be escorted to the court.
After a while, he was weak. Wu Yi, who was injured, was escorted into the main hall.
The moment he saw Deng Mu and Guan Yu, Wu Yi's eyes widened with anger.
"Wu Yi, his general was defeated!"
"My Prime Minister and General Guan are here and they still don’t kneel down! Zhou
Cang pointed at Wu Yi and shouted.
Wu Yi raised his head and said proudly:
"I, Wu Yi, am a general of the Shu Kingdom, and I have only ever kneeled down to my Lord Shu!"
"Other than that, no one is worthy of letting me, Wu Yi, kneel down!"
Zhou Cang was immediately angered and rushed forward to force Wu Yi to kneel down.
But Deng Mu waved his hand slightly to signal Zhou Cang to calm down.
Only then did Zhou Cang suppress his anger and did not rush forward to use force.[]
"Although Liu Zhang was the Duke of Shu, he was also a Han official."
"Since you are a subordinate of Liu Zhang, you are also a minister of the Han Dynasty."
"Now that you have been defeated and captured, I will give you a chance to survive and allow you to submit to the imperial court and the emperor of the Han Dynasty."
Guan Yu threatened to surrender.
But Wu Yi looked angry and said sternly:
"The emperor clearly promised to help our lord fight against Cao Cao's thieves and help us defend Yizhou."
"But the emperor has betrayed his trust and ordered you to kill my soldiers in Shu and seize my city in Shu."
"How can I, Wu Yi, surrender to such an emperor who doesn't keep his word?"
"If you want to kill, then kill him. I, Wu Yi, will never surrender!"
After the generosity, Wu Yi raised his head high and closed his eyes, as if he was going to die calmly.
Guan Yu's fists suddenly clenched, and murderous intent emerged in Danfeng's eyes.
According to his usual temperament, Wu Yi would be so arrogant. The situation had already forced him to kill him with his own hands.
Just thinking of Deng Mu's instructions, he suppressed his murderous intention and turned back to look at Deng Mu.
Deng Mu put down his wine glass, stood up and stepped forward, actually trying to help Wu Yi. The shackles were lifted.
Wu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and saw the majestic Prime Minister untying himself. He was stunned and his face was filled with astonishment.
