The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 357 Capture Jiangzhou
The plan is very simple. With the help of Li Yan, the inner ghost, Yan Yan can be easily tricked out of Jiangzhou City. When Huang Zhong sets up an ambush to capture him alive, and Li Yan takes the opportunity to control Jiangzhou City, the entire Berkshire will be destroyed. It fell into the hands of the Jingzhou army.

Huang Zhong had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Gan Ning in advance. Within two days, Gan Ning's army would reach Jiangzhou, and then follow the river to the city of Chengdu and surround Chengdu before the news spread to Chengdu.

Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun, was a local general of Yizhou. Naturally, he had some opinions on Liu Zhang asking Zhang Wu to lead his troops into the country, so he was wary of the [-] Jingzhou navy stationed on the river outside Jiangzhou city.

On this day, Yan Yan was patrolling the city, when suddenly Li Yan came to Yan Yan and said: "Prefect Yan, Huang Zhong, the general of the Jingzhou Army outside the city, has something to discuss with you, it is ten miles east of the city, see if you can talk to him meet?"

"Oh? What's the matter? Have you ever led troops?" Yan Yan asked.

During this period of time, the Jingzhou Army had discussed with Yan Yan many times. Either they sent people into the city to purchase supplies, or they wanted to borrow the boats of the Jiangzhou Navy to transport food and grass. It is convenient to support the merchant fleet of Huang's family in Jingzhou.

Sometimes it was Huang Zhong who came to discuss with Yan Yan himself, and sometimes it was Lu Xun who came to discuss with Yan Yan.

Yan Yan still despised Huang Zhong in his heart, he was so greedy for money at such an age, everyone said that Zhang Wu had a good sense of people, and everyone said that Jingzhou veteran Huang Zhong was extremely brave, it really is better to meet him than to be famous!
Li Yan said: "Then Huang Zhong has only one hundred guards accompanying him, and Lu Xun and two thousand Jingzhou troops are in the water stronghold. Why don't you lead five hundred soldiers to go with the prefect?"

"That's fine, go gather the soldiers and wait outside the city gate. I'll go right away."

"Yes!"

Yan Yan never imagined in his wildest dreams that his right-hand man with both civil and military skills is actually a [-]-year-old boy!
After Yan Yan met Huang Zhong, he asked, "General Huang, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Huang Zhong put on his armor and held his sword, and said with a smile: "Huang is going to discuss a big matter with Yan Taishou. This matter is also a very good thing for Yan Taishou!"

Yan Yan asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Huang Zhong said: "My chariot and cavalry generals are wise and powerful. They support Jing and Yang states. There are millions of people. They are civilized and martial arts. They know people and do their jobs well. They follow the order of the emperor to punish disobedient ministers. Sooner or later, great things will happen. Old General Wen Yan He is a famous general in the middle of Shu, with unworthy courage, so he admires Old General Yan. Why don't you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and go to my lord's command, and he will be reused!"

When Yan Yan heard this, he said angrily: "Bold, my general Yan is not a thief? I knew that you and other wolves were ambitious, and it was uneasy to lead an army into our Sichuan. Today is indeed the case. Come, kill this with me quickly. thief!"

At this moment, suddenly Lu Xun led [-] Jingzhou soldiers to rush out, and surrounded Yan Yan and [-] soldiers.

Lu Xun said loudly: "Old General Yan is both wise and brave, with unparalleled loyalty and righteousness. Why do you bother to sacrifice your life for Liu Zhang, who is weak and weak? Why don't you go to my lord's command, and you can also be named a marquis and a general, and you will be famous in history."

Yan Yan was startled and angry, didn't he just agree to have one hundred guards?Why did so many soldiers suddenly appear?Could it be that they have already laid an ambush?Why didn't Li Yan detect it!

"Zhengfang, hurry out with me, and move the defenders in the city to destroy these thieves!" Yan Yan raised his sword and slapped the horse, and was about to lead his troops to break out of the encirclement.

Huang Zhong shouted loudly: "General Yan, you and I are about the same age, why don't we have a competition and see who is the best!"

After finishing speaking, Huang Zhong charged at Yan Yan with a knife, but Yan Yan had no choice but to raise his knife to meet him.

But Li Yan only pretended to resist for a while, and then led his troops to surrender, because the five hundred soldiers he ordered were all confidantes he had recruited in the past two years.

As far as Yan Yan's real force is concerned, it is actually only at the second-rate level now, because Yan Yan is too old at this time, and his strength has declined too much. Maybe he can reach the first-rate level when he was young, otherwise there would be no one in Sichuan. The undeserved bravery of ten thousand husbands” commented.

And Huang Zhong, who is also a veteran, is about the same age as Yan Yan at this time, but Huang Zhong is a different kind, he is still so brave at such an age.In the original book, Huang Zhong singled out Guan Yu for a hundred rounds in Changsha, regardless of the outcome. Later, in the Battle of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong defeated Zhang Yun again.

Therefore, Yan Yan at this time was far from being Huang Zhong's opponent. Yan Yan also understood this point after fighting against Huang Zhong, and was even more shocked in his heart. He did not expect that this somewhat money-greedy veteran Huang Zhong would have such strength.

In fact, Huang Zhong just adopted Lu Xun's strategy to deliberately make Yan Yan misunderstand that he was greedy for money, and his purpose was to paralyze Yan Yan.

After ten rounds, Yan Yan couldn't hold it anymore, and when he saw Li Yan surrendered, he was so angry that he almost fainted, and then Huang Zhong grabbed Yan Yan's clothes and threw them to the ground , Order the soldiers to tie them up with ropes.

After Yan Yan was captured, seeing Li Yan and Lu Xun fighting together, he immediately understood why he had fallen into a trap. It turned out that Li Yan had already defected to Jingzhou, so he was tricked here.

Yan Yan immediately said angrily: "Li Yan, this old man treats you well, why did you betray this old man!!"

Li Yan stepped forward and bowed: "Yan Taishou's kindness to me is always in mind. In fact, I have already taken refuge in General Cheqi two years ago. The reason why I came to Jiangzhou is to help General Cheqi take over the city today. Jiangzhou. I also ask the prefect Yan to forgive me! However, General Cheqi has long praised the prefect Yan, and please rest assured that the prefect Yan’s family and the people of Jiangzhou are safe.”

Yan Yan said angrily: "Bah! You traitor, ungrateful, you will die!"

Li Yan stopped talking. Yan Yan had been really good to him in the past two years, so let him scold him now.

Later, Huang Zhong ordered Lu Xun to lead a thousand troops to take Yan Yan to the Jingzhou Army Shuizhai for temporary custody. He led a thousand troops to enter Jiangzhou City with the cooperation of Li Yan.

Li Yan used Yan Yan's letter to summon the Jiangzhou army lieutenant colonel and above officers to the prefect's mansion, and captured them all in an ambush.

Now Yan Yan has been captured, all the generals in the army have been captured, and Li Yan has surrendered to Jingzhou, so Huang Zhongbing took control of Jiangzhou without bloodshed.

But the current situation is still very dangerous. After all, Huang Zhong's soldiers are not many, only more than [-] soldiers, plus Li Yan's [-] confidants, the number is far less than the [-] defenders in Jiangzhou.

Lu Xun suggested that Li Yan first recruit a few lieutenants who usually get along well, and indirectly control some soldiers, and then open the treasury to reward the three armies, which temporarily stabilized the morale of the army.

Until two days later, Zhenxi generals Gan Ning, Feng Xi, and Zhu Huan led [-] Jingzhou water troops to Jiangzhou, and Jiang, who had been leading hundreds of water troops cruising on the Dian River, maintained the contact between Zhang Wu and Huang Zhong. Qin also came to Jiangzhou, and only then did he completely control Jiangzhou.

Gan Ning greatly appreciated Li Yan, and said that seizing Jiangzhou was a very important part of the strategy of seizing Yizhou. Li Yan cooperated with Huang Zhong and Lu Xun to successfully seize Jiangzhou.

Li Yan knew Gan Ning's position in Zhang Wu's group, he was not only Zhang Wu's number one general, but also Zhang Wu's sworn brother.

Gan Ning's evaluation of him, in a sense, can be regarded as Zhang Wu's evaluation of him.
