Three Kingdoms: Li Shimin, dressed as Liu Shan, forcibly abducts Sun Shangxiang.

Chapter 19: The Great Han General Who Guards the North!

The great river flows eastward,

As dusk fell.

The stench of blood had not yet dissipated in Yiling City, and many soldiers had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Since the Battle of Yiling, both the Han army and the Wuling barbarians had lived in constant fear and anxiety.

Now that we've settled in Yiling City, at least we can feel a little more at ease.

However, the general's mansion in Yiling City was brightly lit at this time!

"Your Highness, the four thousand Han soldiers captured within the city have been properly arranged and returned to their posts!"

Zhang Bao's excitement was impossible to hide.

These four thousand people are not the Wuxi barbarians.

They were not surrendered soldiers from Jiaozhou.

They were not surrendered soldiers from Jiangdong!

These four thousand men were Han soldiers who followed the emperor on his eastern expedition and came from Sichuan and Chongqing!

Zhang Bao even knew many of them...

Although Liu Shan previously commanded tens of thousands of troops, most of them were surrendered soldiers from Jiaozhou or the Wuxi barbarians of Shamoke.

With these four thousand reinforcements, Liu Shan's Han army now numbered ten thousand!

Besides Zhang Bao, many other high-ranking generals, including Guan Xing and Sha Moke, gathered together, filled with anticipation and eager to make their mark.

Because they know!

Crown Prince Liu Shan is about to lead them to completely overthrow Jingzhou!

"Zhang Bao".

On the main seat,

Liu Shan said indifferently, "I will assign you two thousand soldiers from Jiaozhou, to be combined with the four thousand Han soldiers who were just rescued in Yiling City into one army, which you will command."

"Stationing troops in Yiling."

Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, then quickly cupped his hands in acceptance: "Yes, sir!"

Zhang Bao has finally had a chance to lead an army on his own.

He hadn't been unaware that this day would come!

But I never expected this day to come so soon!

"Shamok".

Before Zhang Bao could react,

Liu Shan had already begun the next arrangement: "I will allocate two thousand Jiaozhou soldiers to you to supplement your forces, and combine them with your own four thousand Wuxi soldiers to form an army. You will garrison south of the Yangtze River, at the original Bu Zhi camp."

The barbarian king immediately stepped forward: "Shamoke obeys the order!"

Although Shamoke had long been loyal to Shu Han to the bitter end, Liu Shan still had to make some arrangements.

Shamoke had a grudge against the soldiers of Jiaozhou.

The two can check and balance each other.

That way, I won't have to worry about them being disloyal to me...

"Guan Xing."

Guan Xing, Guan Yu's only surviving descendant, stepped forward and said, "Your subordinate is here!"

Liu Shan slowly rose to his feet: "I entrust the remaining three thousand Jiaozhou soldiers to you."

"I will allocate another three thousand Han soldiers to you, and you will lead an army on your own."

"As for the remaining three thousand Han soldiers, I will lead them myself for the time being."

As he spoke,

Liu Shan stepped forward.

His gaze fell upon the map:

"The barbarian king led an army to garrison on the south bank of the Yangtze River, while my main force was stationed at Yiling. The two armies, one in the south and one in the north, supported each other and provided mutual assistance."

"After several battles at Yiling, we have captured over three hundred ships of various sizes, which can be used... We will blockade the river immediately!"

"The barbarian king is south of the Yangtze River. When that time comes, we can coordinate with Ma Liang to lead the reinforcements from Jingnan northward."

now,

Liu Shan had some talent.

But Yizhou has already bled to death, and under such circumstances, it is still difficult to gain any real power...

However, after the Battle of Yiling,

There is also a contingent of Han troops that remained intact north of the Yangtze River.

If that army could be merged,

Only then could he, the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty, truly be qualified to establish himself in Jingzhou under this prevailing trend...

Liu Shan's expression turned solemn: "Yiling City is north of the Yangtze River... It can support the only remaining intact army of our Han Dynasty after the Battle of Yiling!"

……

……

It is more than two hundred li north of Yiling City.

Huang Quan, the Great General Who Guards the North of the Han Dynasty, is in the central command tent!

Sun Huan, Sun Quan's favorite nephew, was completely unaware that his stronghold of Yiling had long been razed to the ground.

Still talking non-stop:

"General Gongheng, given the current situation, how can you alone withstand it?"

"They resemble the Han army commander Feng Xi and vanguard leader Zhang Nan!"

"Don't mention Governor Fu Tong!"

"Those who served as chief priests... have all been trampled into dust by the mighty Jiangdong army for defying the tide of history!"

"For example, generals like Du Lu and Liu Ning were truly outstanding individuals who acted in accordance with the prevailing trend!"

"They now serve my Jiangdong, and still hold high positions, their fame and fortune undiminished..."

Shi He, the governor of Nan Commandery of Shu Han, who was inside the main tent, had already turned ashen-faced.

Pang Tong's younger brother, Pang Lin, who is now the Chief Administrator of Jingzhou, is also suppressing his anger!

The two exchanged a glance, then subconsciously looked at Huang Quan, who was behind the scenes of the major case at the top.

But Huang Quan had already closed his eyes at this moment.

"General Gongheng!!"

Huang Quan slowly opened his eyes.

Sun Huan's ashen face came into his view.

"General Huan admires you greatly for your talent in managing military and national affairs, and cannot bear to see everything perish together!"

"That's why I entered this central command tent alone to explain the advantages and disadvantages to the general..."

Huang Quan had just closed his eyes to rest.

Sun Huanquan saw all this and was already burning with rage.

But with the important matter unresolved, he could only suppress his anger: "What is the general's opinion? Please enlighten me!"

He talked for a long time about his own strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages.

Huang Gongheng deserves an explanation!

"I understand General Sun's intentions," Huang Quan said calmly. "However, I have received great favors from the Han Emperor. If I were to betray the Emperor and join the Marquis of Wu today..."

"Who knows if, one day, they won't betray the Lord of Wu and seek a new lord?"

He naturally did not want to surrender to Jiangdong.

However, Shu Han had just suffered a defeat, and Jiangdong was powerful. Although he had tens of thousands of elite troops, he was trapped in enemy territory and isolated without any help.

Huang Quan could only feign compliance for the time being and try to appease the other party first.

"Moreover, most of my 10,000 troops, apart from those from Shu, are veterans who fought their way here from Jingzhou with His Majesty."

"The Han emperor is a hero of the land, whom they greatly admire. If..."

Huang Quan hadn't finished speaking when

Sun Huan suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha!!!"

He laughed so heartily and unrestrainedly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Huang Quan's expression gradually turned ugly: "May I ask why General Sun is laughing...?"

"Ha, ha... General Gongheng, you may not know this." Sun Huan finally managed to stop laughing.

He wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes: "After Liu Bei's defeat, he fled all the way, practically running away like a madman!"

"I, Jiangdong Boyan, the Grand Commander, led troops from all directions in relentless pursuit. Liu Bei, despite being over sixty years old, actually ran hundreds of miles on foot, even traversing mountains and valleys..."

"Heading straight to Zigui City!"

Sun Huan was smug and proud.

It seemed he had mentioned his proudest achievement.

"The waterway from Zigui to Yizhou is extremely fast and convenient!"

"The generals all assumed Liu Bei would travel by water, so they all set off in their boats to pursue him..."

"Only Huan is incompetent!"

Sun Huan suddenly raised his voice: "I may not be talented, but I do possess some quick wit!"

"I suspect Liu Bei is afraid of being overtaken by our Jiangdong generals if he travels by water, so he will definitely abandon the waterway and take the mountain path instead!"

"I then traveled day and night, setting up an ambush along the mountain path of Shimen Mountain in advance..."

"As expected, the Han Emperor has arrived!!"

That thief!

Could it be that they actually intercepted His Majesty?!

Huang Quan's heart sank suddenly.

Shi He and Pang Lin turned pale and were covered in cold sweat.

"Why……"

Sun Huan sighed, his face revealing undisguised disdain: "Back then, the mighty Emperor of Han was barefoot and his clothes were so tattered that he was practically no different from a refugee."

"When Liu Bei saw that my elite troops were here, he had nowhere to run and almost collapsed to the ground!"

"He was entirely supported by his personal guards..."

"And they relied on the desperate protection of the remaining soldiers around them..."

"If Zhao Zilong hadn't arrived with his troops at that time, I'm afraid..."

Having said that,

Sun Huan grew increasingly smug: "I'm afraid I'll soon have to experience the thrill of capturing a dragon!"

"Just now, General Gongheng said that the Han Emperor is a hero of the world?"

"Are all heroes of the world truly like this?"

"Are all the heroes of the world, and the emperor of Han, so fearful and lost, like stray dogs?"

... "

"shut up!!!"

Clang!

Huang Quan roared and suddenly threw the ring-pommel sword from his waist, which landed at Sun Huan's feet.

so close!

Just inches away, that ring-pommel sword would have grazed right past his nose...

in an instant,

Sun Huan was already drenched in cold sweat!

"Huang Gongheng! What exactly do you want...?"

"When the ruler is distressed, the minister is disgraced; when the ruler is disgraced, the minister dies!" Huang Quan stared intently at Sun Huan, wishing he could tear him apart and devour him.

"Sun Huan, you brat, how dare you insult my lord!"

"I should have severed your head with that last strike!!"

"You!" Sun Huan was shocked and furious, and was about to say something more.

"roll!!"

"If you don't leave now, I, Huang, will surely kill you right here in this tent."

Sun Huan's face flushed red and then turned pale with rage, before he laughed in a fit of fury: "Very well, Huang Gongheng, you ungrateful madman..."

"My Jiangdong army will arrive in no time. Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!"

"snort!!!"

Having said that,

Sun Huan had already flung open the tent flap and walked away with his head held high.

"Sigh..." Huang Quan slumped down behind the desk, his face full of dejection.

"Are these ten thousand strong men really going to be buried here?"

"Do you really want to die at my hands, Huang Quan?!"
