Chapter 1737: A Falling Flag Comes Out of a Stone
The number and size of warships are not as good as human beings, the number of soldiers and morale are not as good as human beings, and the Shu Han navy has taken advantage of the downstream. Even with Lu Xun's ability, it is useless. , Even Lu Xun himself became a prisoner and was brought before Shen Long and Guan Yu.
"Haha, Bo Yan didn't come too late!" Shen Long laughed and stepped forward to untie the rope for Lu Xun, "Be at ease, Bo Yan, Your Majesty knows that Bo Yan is a great talent in the world, and he has already told me to wait, don't hurt him." Boyan's life."
Lu Xun sneered, "Lu Xun is so kind and virtuous to my lord, but it is very difficult for me to surrender." Shen Long didn't take it seriously, but ordered someone to take Lu Xun down to wash and change clothes, and put him in Jiangxia. The city is very good at resettlement, and sent someone to arrange a big yard for him. As long as he doesn't go out, it doesn't matter whether he is studying or doing other things.
After making these arrangements, Shen Long and Guan Yu continued to lead troops southward, pointing directly at Chaisang. Guan Yu was quite puzzled, "Zifeng, Lu Boyan is a hero of the age. Since he won't surrender, why should we force him?"
"Your Majesty, Lu Xun may not surrender, but the Jiangdong Lu family will not be buried for Soochow. After taking Jianye, the Jiangdong gentry will surely surrender. Keeping Lu Boyan will be more sympathetic." Guan Yu did not surrender after defeating Maicheng. Firstly, it was because he and Liu Bei were sworn brothers with a deep relationship and would not betray Liu Bei;
Zhang Zhu Lugu, the four great families of Jiangdong, no matter how the court changes, Jiangdong is still under their control, just like before when Cao Cao's army approached Chibi, all the officials had the idea of surrendering, when Shen Long took Jianye, These Jiangdong gentry will definitely surrender to him, and Shen Long is full of confidence in this.
At that time, Sun Quan will no longer be in charge of Jiangdong, and the rest of the Lu family will surrender. What's the point of insisting on Lu Xun alone? If he tried to persuade him to surrender at that time, Lu Xun might just obey.
"The gentry enjoyed wealth and honor in the era, but they acted in such a low way, I despise it!" Guan Yu had never liked the gentry, so he shook his head and sighed when he heard this.
"Since that's the case, when the time comes, General Guan will only need to lead his troops to fight, and I will handle the matter of surrender!" Shen Long doesn't like these people either, but their surrender can reduce the casualties of Shu Han soldiers and shorten the time for Shu Han to unify Jiangdong. The speed of six counties and eighty-one states is also beneficial from this point of view.
As for future problems, use papermaking, printing, the imperial examination system, and Guangkai schools and libraries to slowly cut flesh, and slowly eliminate the influence of aristocratic families!
Aristocratic families began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and rose in the Jin Dynasty. Their development and growth are inseparable from the Jiupin Zhongzheng System. As long as this policy is not implemented, why are the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs so awesome?
Shen Long immediately ordered to select the children of Jiangdong's prominent families from among the captives, release them, and let them go back to pass on messages to their respective families. It will definitely be much less, even though these families occupy high positions in Soochow, but no one is willing to let their own family be buried with Sun Quan.
In a few days, the army arrived at Chaisang again. The veteran guarding Chaisang was Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng had more backbone than those aristocratic families. , beheaded Xu Sheng's head with the Qinglong Yanyue knife, giving him the ending that a hero should have.
Then Guan Yu ordered Xu Sheng to be generous, and kept his coffin in the army. After Cao Wei was wiped out in the future, he would send Xu Sheng's coffin back to his hometown of Langyaju County for burial.
After Chaisang disembarked, it became a thoroughfare to go to Jianye. Shen Long's army approached Jianye aggressively, causing panic in Jianye city. Sun Quan repeatedly asked the envoys sent to Cao Wei, but all he got was bad news; although Cao Rui listened to Chen Qun and others man's suggestion,
They sent Cao Zhen to the south and Cao Xiu to the west, but they were defeated by Zhuge Liang one after another. Now that they have retreated to Yecheng and Qingzhou and Xuzhou, they can't provide much support to Soochow at all.
The Eastern Wu gentry in the city began to find another way out. When Shen Long's army anchored in Danyang and prepared to encircle Jianye by land and water, many families sent envoys, saying that they were willing to be the internal response of the Shu army and open Jianye for the Shu army. city gate.
Sun Quan personally went to the city to command the army and tried to defeat the Shu Han by relying on Jianye's strong city and thick walls. Small number of staff, do not look at a station.
"If you defend Jianye now, you will be defeated. It is better to go to the camp of Shu Han to feign defeat and surrender, and then take advantage of the time when you march to attack. There may be some chances of winning." Zhou Bing suggested.
Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard the words, so Zhou Bing immediately led people out of the city to find Shen Long. Shen Long laughed when he heard the words, "If other people surrender, I'm afraid I'll believe it. Zhou Ziyu is a person who surrenders easily?" Zhou Bing said I remember the matter of earning Cao Xiu.
Shen Long followed his strategy and pretended to believe Zhou Dory's words, and led his troops to attack. When Zhou Dory was in trouble, he took it down in one fell swoop, and Guan Yu lay in ambush behind him, beheading Ding Feng who came to support Zhou Dory.
Since then, Lu Xun has been captured, Zhou Bing, Ding Feng, and Xu Sheng have died one after another. Soochow has few invincible generals. When the army surrounded Jianye, the army in the city was already in chaos and could not resist the might of the Shu Han army. .
The gentry in the city also fulfilled their promise and opened the gate of Jianye for Shen Long. Shen Long and Guan Yu personally led troops into the city, took Sun Quan's palace directly, and captured Sun Quan and others in one fell swoop.
The rest all raised their banners to express their submission. In this world, Sun Quan became a prisoner of the Shu Han before he could proclaim himself emperor. If the history books of later generations talked about this past event, they might not call it the Three Kingdoms, would they?
Since Jianye came down, the six counties and eighty-one counties in the east of the Yangtze River will be handed down. Take it easy.
Guan Yu escorted Sun Quan and others back to Chang'an, and Shen Long stayed in Jianye for the time being. Although Jiangdong was captured, it will take some time for this place to truly become the territory of the Shu Han; when Jiangdong is completely owned by the Shu Han, they can march forward Break through Cao Wei and end the troubled times that have lasted for many years.
The news of Jiangdong's pacification spread back to the north, and the Shu Han and Cao Wei showed completely different scenes. Chang'an was full of jubilation, but Ye City was dead silent. They all knew that it would be their turn soon.
