After three days, they entered the territory of Nanyang County.
When Zhao Ci rebelled, he started his army from Jiangxia, captured six counties in succession and entered Wan County, and beheaded Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang.
Lin Han followed Zhao Ci's marching route and advanced like a hot knife through butter, taking Suixian, Baishui, Caiyang, Xinye, Anzhong, and Nieyang, and finally approached Wancheng, where he was unable to match his enemy.
Lin Han did not personally attack the city. He persuaded all those who could be persuaded to surrender. For those who could not be persuaded to surrender, he let Qin Linglong and Shenhua Xue Ge lead the troops to attack.
Both of them gave their all to achieve military merit.
Lin Han won the victory without any effort and just lay down his head to do it.
Both of them knew what Lin Han was thinking, but they could do nothing about it.
From the moment you join the team, you should be prepared to be cheated, and you can only feel pain and happiness.
On the way, Lin Han saw that Shen Hua Xue Ge was in a bad mood. Later, he learned from Qin Linglong that Zhao Ci rebelled, attacked Nanyang, and looted Nanyang Wancheng.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Wancheng suffered again. The Myth Alliance invested a lot of money in the area around Wancheng, but it was destroyed twice.
Lin Han showed a look of heartache for three seconds. He was indeed very unlucky.
When they arrived outside Wancheng, the spies reported that after Zhao Ci killed Qin Jie, he occupied Wancheng and defended it with 70,000 troops.
Lin Han lined up his troops, rode out on his horse, and shouted loudly.
"Zhao Ci, surrender! Xiao Hange is everywhere outside... There are only Han troops outside. You can't escape."
Soon, a man climbed up to the top of the city wall and looked down at Lin Han with a cold expression.
"I'm sorry I can't surrender. You lackeys of the imperial court oppress the people. I regret not joining the Yellow Turbans to attack Luoyang."
"I, Xiao Hange, believe I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. Zhao Ci, do you dare to come out and fight? I will give you an arm." Lin Han waved confidently at Zhao Ci and shouted sarcastically.
"General Xiao, don't waste your energy. I know your name, Xiao Hange. I, Zhao Ci, would rather die than surrender. The current emperor is incompetent and lustful. The people of this world have only one way to go, and that is death. You want to be a dog, but I won't be one."
"That's really awful."
Lin Han secretly complained.
Sure enough, those who dare to rebel these days are all very stubborn.
"You rebelled, countless soldiers followed you and died in battle. Countless people in Nanyang and Jiangxia were left homeless. Do you think you are doing something righteous?"
"Bah, you are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. I have tolerated you dog officials for a long time. Qin Jie was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but I chopped off his head." Zhao Ci shouted.
"I killed you with my own hands when we entered the city."
Lin Han finished shouting.
Just as he was about to issue the order to attack the city, Tian Feng rode forward to report, and the spy reported that Wang Rui and Yang Xu were leading the troops.
Upon hearing this, Lin Han ordered his troops to withdraw.
Soon, Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Yang Xu, the newly appointed prefect of Nanyang, came with their troops and joined Lin Han.
"Greetings, His Excellency the Governor." Lin Han saluted Wang Rui neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was nominally his superior.
However, the Inspector does not have military power over the prefectures and counties. The Inspector is a high-ranking official but has little power. Unless the Inspector is powerful enough, he can suppress the county governor and have real power.
It was obvious that Wang Rui could not suppress Lin Han.
When Lin Han met Wang Rui, he was just being polite and didn't treat him as inferior to others.
"Yes, very good. Jingzhou has a great man." Wang Rui nodded with satisfaction when he saw Lin Han. "This time, the commander-in-chief Xiao led the troops and was unstoppable. I have heard that he is very good."
"Your Excellency, Governor, are so kind." Lin Han smiled and saluted, then looked at Yang Xu and said, "Governor Yang, congratulations on your new position."
"Lord Xiao, you are too polite. It's been a long time since we last met. You are now famous all over the world." Yang Xu said with a smile.
Lin Han and Yang Xu are familiar with each other.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Kang was transferred to be the prefect of Le'an. Yang Xu lifted the "Party Persecution" and was promoted continuously by Yang Ci to take over Lu Kang's post as the prefect of Lujiang and manage the area.
Lin Han is considered a bully in Lujiang County, the largest force besides the prefect, so the two naturally know each other.
Now Lin Han is the new governor of Jiangxia, and Yang Xu has been transferred to be the governor of Nanyang, so the two will be neighbors from now on.
"Congratulations, Lord Xiao, on your promotion." Yang Xu greeted Lin Han.
"You're too polite, Lord Yang." Lin Han replied modestly, then turned his gaze to the battle map: "Let's talk about the siege."
"good."
The two agreed.
"Sir Governor, how many soldiers and horses do you have?"
"Recruit 30,000 soldiers." Wang Rui said.
"Where's Lord Sheep?"
"Leading 50,000 troops."
"With our three armies united, we have over a hundred thousand elite soldiers. We can storm Wancheng! What do you think?"
"Yes! Lord Xiao is the commander-in-chief appointed by His Majesty. We will obey Lord Xiao in this battle." Yang Xu knew the formidable strength of Lin Han's troops and went along with it: "But I have a request that I hope Lord Xiao will consider."
"Please go ahead."
"I heard that the Nanyang County Magistrate Shenhua Xuege was under your command. After Qin Jie's death, he followed you to quell the rebellion. In the Battle of Wancheng, Lord Xiao assigned Shenhua Xuege to lead the attack, is that correct?"
"Why?"
"He is the county magistrate, and I am the county governor." Yang Xu said.
"Can."
Lin Han put on an inexplicable smile.
This mythical Xue Ge was quite unlucky. He had thought that after the death of Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang County, he would be able to become a regular and replace the post of prefect after Nanyang was recovered.
As a result, the imperial court relocated Yang Xu.
Now Lian Yang continues to want to reduce his strength.
After all, the county magistrate has a large army and is a threat to the authority of the prefect.
When Yang Xu was in Lujiang, he learned the lesson of Lin Han's control over the army, and he did not dare to let anyone other than the prefect control a large number of troops.
But this has nothing to do with Lin Han.
Lin Han has 50,000 soldiers and horses, as well as Wang Rui and Yang Xu's soldiers and horses.
Qin Linglong and Shenhua Xuege brought high-level troops, and Ji Ling's Flying Cavalry Battalion under his command was a special troop. Together with the troops in the hands of Wang Rui and Yang Xu, the three parties combined were more than enough to deal with Zhao Ci.
