- Yan Liang's plan was by no means as simple as using his wife as a cover to suddenly attack the Hukou Fortress.
In addition to the 30,000 naval troops, Yan Liang's troops gathered in Chaisang also included a total of 25,000 infantry including the Wuxi soldiers led by Samoko.
Of course, Yan Liang would not let these large infantry troops go idle, so during the ten days he was "raising money" for Sun Quan, he secretly sent Huang Zhong to lead 10,000 troops south and quietly enter Yuzhang County to go Joined more than 6,000 soldiers and horses led by Wei Yan.
Yan Liang was also sure that Sun Quan would not refuse to pay him, so a few days before the ten-day deadline, he sent an order to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, ordering them to mobilize all the troops in Ai County and attack Dong's troops stationed in Xi'an County. Launch an emergency attack.
Dong Xi's army numbered only a few thousand, so how could they withstand the sudden attack of the well-prepared Yan army, which was several times their size? Under unfavorable circumstances, they could only retreat steadily, all the way to the lower reaches of Xiushui and the sea line on the shore of Poyang Lake. .
The elite infantry and cavalry of the Huang and Wei Dynasties drove straight all the way, and in a few days they invaded the hinterland of Yuzhang County.
Once Haihun is lost, Huang Wei's army can move north along the east coast of Poyang Lake and directly threaten the rear of the lake mouth from the land route. At that time, facing Sun Quan who was attacked from both sides, how could he do it with only 20,000 troops whose morale has not been restored? Resist Yan Liang's encirclement of more than 50,000 land and water troops.
Sun Quan¡¯s remaining self-confidence was instantly shattered by this astonishing information.
The sentry ships galloped back one after another, constantly stimulating Sun Quan's nerves with news of the approaching Yan Liang navy.
Lu Su was so anxious that sweat was rolling down his forehead, and he said anxiously: "My lord, don't hesitate any longer. If Yan's army kills them and forms a siege on Hukou, the big thing will come to an end."
Sun Quan trembled with fright. He knew that Lu Su was by no means a threat.
Originally, he thought it would be too shameful to abandon Hukou without a fight, but now it seems that if he wants to lose face, his life will be at risk.
With all kinds of helplessness, Sun Quan let out a long sigh and said bitterly: "Send the order, order all the troops to rise up, and immediately withdraw to Lujiang County by waterway."
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, and when the order was passed, all the camps immediately became busy. The panicked Wu army rushed to board the ship, fearing that they would be killed by Yan Jun and not be able to escape in time.
At this time, Sun Quan suddenly remembered something, "If my main force withdraws, what will Dong Xi and Lu Xun's army do?"
Dong Xi is now guarding Haihun, and Lu Xun, who had previously been ordered by Sun Quan to assist Dong Xi and strengthen Yuzhang's defense, is probably still on the way.
Lu Su thought for a while and said: "Now that things have come to a close, I don't have much to worry about, so I asked my lord to issue an order quickly, ordering them to abandon the warship and retreat by land to Poyang County to defend themselves, so as not to be surrounded by Yan's army."
Sun Quan thought about it and had only this option. In desperation, he had no choice but to follow Lu Su's plan.
At dusk that day, Sun Quan led 20,000 Wu troops and hundreds of warships, and hurriedly escaped from the Hukou Fortress before Yan Liang's navy arrived, and retreated toward Wankou, more than a hundred miles downstream.
Because he was escaping in such a hurry, Sun Quan had no time to carry the mountains of military supplies in the Hukou Fortress and take them away. In order not to leave these military supplies to Yan Liang, Sun Quan could only order the troops to be set on fire. The capital was burned down together with the Hukou Fortress.
When the 30,000 naval troops led by Gan Ning and Lu Meng arrived in a mighty manner, the entire Hukou Village was turned into a sea of ??fire.
At this time, Sun Quan, like a panicked mouse, led his 20,000 navy troops and fled more than 20 miles away.
Gan Ning and others certainly knew that Sun Quan was planning to flee to Wankou. Considering that Wankou was a hundred miles away, it would be detrimental to himself if he pursued him and stretched the front too long.
So Gan Ning and others stopped their pursuit, and the army marched into the mouth of the lake, put out the fire, and set up camp again on the ruins.
One day later, the rear army led by Yan Liang also arrived at Hukou.
After boarding the grass-roots water village and looking around at the ashes, Yan Liang sighed: "Your second brother's reaction is really astute and he escaped quite quickly."
Yan Liang¡¯s words were obviously meant for Sun Shangxiang who was accompanying him.
Although Yan Liang did not agree to a ceasefire with Sun Quan, he did not go too far and still took Sun Shangxiang as his concubine.
When Gan Ning and other generals led their troops to attack Hukou, Yan Liang, who was in Chaisang, held a short ceremony to officially take Sun Shangxiang as his concubine, giving himself a new Mrs. Sun.
Defeating an enemy and then taking their daughter or sister as a concubine is a strong sense of accomplishment that cannot be described in words.
Today, Yan Liang took his new wife to show her how the brother he admired fled in such a mess.
Sun Shangxiang looked at the Hukou Camp in ruins silently, and was deeply shocked in his heart again.
Sun Shang had seen how strong the Hukou Fortress was before when he was on the road.
Sun Shangxiang originally thought that Chai Sang's fall was only caused by his second brother's momentary misstep and was not a crime of war.
But now, seeing Sun Quan abandoning such an important territory without a fight, Sun Shangxiang began to have deep doubts about her second brother, whom she had always regarded as a powerful warrior.
After entering the camp, Sun Shangxiang set up a separate tent, and Yan Liang summoned the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.
Ling Tong, who was eager for revenge, naturally advocated continuing to go eastward along the river and wiping out Sun Quan in one fell swoop, but Lu Meng had a different view.
Lu Meng believed that although the Wu army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Fankou, it had not lost its ability to resist. Sun Quan still had at least 20,000 mobile troops on hand. He still had troops at his disposal in San Wu and Huainan.
On the way to Moling, the Wu army also had three forts along the river: Wankou, Ruxukou and Wuhu. If the Wu people turned their backs to Jiangdong and held on to the danger, Yan Liang would still have to go through many twists and turns to destroy Wu.
Moreover, at this time, Yuzhang has not yet descended, and the flanks of Chaisang and Hukou are always under threat from the Wu army. It would be too risky to advance straight in at this time.
Therefore, Lu Meng suggested that on the one hand, he should build the Hukou Camp first to ensure a firm foothold on this front line, and on the other hand, he should wipe out the two counties of Yuzhang and Poyang in the south to ensure the safety of the flanks, and then move in troops before it is too late.
"What Zi Ming said makes sense. Dong Xi and Lu Xun's 6,000 Wu troops are surrounded along the sea. Dong Xi is nothing to be afraid of, but Lu Xun is a hidden danger. Unless these two are eliminated, how can I safely advance eastward."
Yan Liang¡¯s words set the tone for the upcoming march.
So, after some deliberation, Yan Liang decided to leave the navy to guard Hukou. Yan Liang led his infantry southward to join Huang Zhong's generals to encircle and annihilate Lu Xun and Dong Xi's Wu army who were trapped in Haihun City.
After the military meeting ended, Yan Liang inspected all the camps again to express his condolences to the officers and soldiers. After having a dinner with the officers and soldiers, it was already night when Yan Liang returned to his tent.
As soon as you step into the inner tent, you can see the mist of water in front of you, the fragrance is thick, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard in your ears.
Turning around the screen, I saw Sun Shangxiang squatting beside the big wooden basin, with her slender arms like lotus roots, adjusting the water temperature.
Seeing Yan Liang enter the account, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly stood up and came over to greet him, with a sweet smile on his pretty face.
"Husband, you are back. I have boiled some hot water, just in time for my husband to take a bath and wash away the fatigue."
Sun Shangxiang said that he had already stepped forward and personally helped Yan Liang remove his armor and clothes.
Looking at the gentle and considerate new lady in front of him, Yan Liang was quite surprised.
Although Sun Shangxiang had become Yan Liang's woman before, she could not hide her forced look when serving Yan Liang. However, today, she is so proactive and considerate in serving Yan Liang, which is very different from her previous attitude.
Nothing is attentive, or stolen.
An idea quickly flashed through Yan Liang's mind, but he didn't express it and just allowed her to serve.
Taking off his armor and clothes, Yan Liang was calm and natural, but Sun Shangxiang's smiling face showed an uneasy look from time to time.
She has always been good at martial arts and is used to being served by others. Now she has to serve others. Naturally, she feels a little uncomfortable.
And when Yan Liang took off his last piece of clothing and "faced each other frankly", Sun Shangxiang's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly moved his eyes away, not daring to look at the towering thing.
She looked so shy at this time, but she looked quite lovely.
Yan Liang deliberately walked past her, opened his legs, and sat in the bathtub carelessly.
Although Sun Shangxiang was ashamed, he could only pretend that nothing happened.
"Come here and wipe my husband's back." Yan Liang sat in the tub with his body open, like an uncle, or in other words, he was an uncle.
Sun Shangxiang had never done this kind of thing before, but now that she was Yan Liang's concubine, she had to do this job even if she didn't want to.
So Sun Shangxiang could only force a smile and clumsily wiped Yan Liang's back.
Her hands, which were as green as green onions, scratched across her back from time to time, and the itchy feeling gradually aroused Yan Liang's desire.
With his inner fire gradually rising, Yan Liang suddenly stood up from the water with a splash, and turned his naked body to face Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang was startled. When he suddenly raised his head, a flush of shame instantly filled his face, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Madam, what are you still doing? Don't you want to wipe your husband's body? "Yan Liang was serious.
"Well."
Sun Shangxiang came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, but could only suppress his shame, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and continued to wipe Yan Liang's body.
"Husband, can't you make peace with your second brother? In fact, there is nothing wrong with the two families living in harmony."
Sun Shangxiang wiped it and said it like a casual conversation.
Sure enough.
Yan Liang knew that his new wife, who was suddenly so proactive and attentive, probably wanted to seek peace for Sun Quan.
Yan Liang sneered, "It is difficult for the two states of Jing and Yang to coexist. If I, Yan Liang, were defeated today, would your second brother, Sun Quan, let me go just because I married you?"
Yan Liang asked back, leaving Sun Shangxiang stunned.
Annexing Jingzhou and destroying Yan Liang is a national policy that Sun Quan has long established, and it is also a consensus reached by the Wu leadership. Although Sun Shangxiang does not participate in military affairs, he has already been aware of it under his influence.
In troubled times, it¡¯s either you who die or I live, not to mention two princes who share the same power and occupy the Yangtze River.
Sun Shangxiang suddenly felt how naive his idea was.
After being silent for a long time, Sun Shangxiang shook his head and sighed, and silently answered with two words: "No."
