Chapter 210 Assassin’s Creed
When Cao Cao from another timeline heard this, he was reminded of his Battle of Red Cliffs!
Damn it! He swore he would never again find himself in such a pathetic situation!
……
The live broadcast continues.
"Liu Xiu's policy of advancing by both land and water caught the Shu army off guard. Before long, Cen Peng, who was advancing westward along the Yangtze River, received reinforcements from Wu Han."
"Under such favorable conditions, General Cen Peng quickly broke through Jingmen, first capturing Cheng Xun alive, then killing Ren Man, and finally forcing Tian Rong to retreat to Jiangzhou."
"Tian Rong fled to Jiangzhou, and Cen Peng was in hot pursuit. During this battle, Liu Long, one of the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai, was recommended by Cen Peng to be the Prefect of Nanjun."
He then led the remaining troops along the Three Gorges, heading straight for Jiangguan. During the attack, the local people would offer them good food and drink. Cen Peng ordered that the Han army not plunder the people and told them:
"The Great Han Dynasty sympathizes with the enslavement of the people in the Bashu region, which is why we have launched this campaign to punish them on behalf of Heaven and to rid the people of this scourge!"
"When the local people heard this, they were overjoyed and opened their gates to surrender. They believed that living under the Han Dynasty was much better than living under the Han Dynasty!"
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: The Right Choice – Liu Xiu
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "Tian Rong is quite the runner!"
A fishmonger from the Tang Dynasty: I thought Gongsun Shu's rule was better than before, but it turns out he's still enslaving the people!
……
"Liu Xiu was overjoyed to learn of the people's spontaneous surrender, so he appointed Cen Peng as the Governor of Yi Province. He also stipulated that if a county was conquered, Cen Peng would temporarily serve as its prefect."
"Let's look at Jiangzhou City. Cen Peng has arrived, but this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, it has ample supplies, so if he fights you for several months, Cen Peng is not sure if he can win."
“Since it is not possible to take Jiangzhou City in one go, then Cen Peng will lead the main force to attack Dianjiang and Pingqu first, while leaving some troops to defend and temporarily besiege the city.”
"Cen Peng fought quite well along the way and captured 100,000 shi of grain."
A Ming Dynasty soldier said: "Cen Peng is really good at fighting! It has to be him!"
A Tang Dynasty official: So Gongsun Shu is truly no human being! He assassinated two generals in succession!
Cen Peng, a skilled farmer in the Song Dynasty, is quite capable and willing to do more work!
……
Lin Ke sighed inwardly as she said this. It was truly outrageous. It was understandable that the first assassination attempt could succeed, but the problem was that the same tactic could be used to succeed again!
She was actually quite disappointed, and then sighed, "Cen Peng's side is gaining momentum, and the other side is doing the same. There are frequent good news along the way."
"Subsequently, he and Gai Yan defeated the armies of Wang Yuan and Huan An at Hechi and Xiabian, and in the pursuit of victory, they captured Hechi. This greatly frightened Gongsun Shu, so one night, Lai Xi was stabbed in a vital spot."
"Lai Xi, who was seriously wounded, hurriedly sent someone to summon Gai Yan. When Gai Yan came to see him, he was scolded by Lai Xi for being too grief-stricken: 'Now that I am seriously wounded, I wanted to entrust the military affairs to you, but why are you crying like this!?'"
"Lai Xi was helped up by Gai Yan and barely managed to finish writing the last article. The gist of it was that I dared not regret my actions, that I had failed in my duty as a subject, and that I had brought shame upon the court."
