Chapter 32 2. Crazy Wu Han

News of Cen Peng's assassination soon spread to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.Wu Han is really going crazy. He leads an army of 30,000, rushing all the way, killing all the way.In less than a month, he fought from Yiling (now Yichang City, Hubei Province) to Yufujin (now north of Leshan City, Sichuan Province). At this time, Liu Xiu issued an edict, ordering Wu Han, who had already entered Shu, to immediately capture Guangdu (now Huayang Town, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province), and attack Gongsun Shu's heart, Chengdu City. Liu Xiu was indeed driven into a hurry.It is only right and proper to repay debts and pay for murder.The cruel words thrown out by Liu Xiu seemed to inject infinite power into Wu Han.So, with Liu Xiu's encouragement, Wu Han let go of his hands and feet and attacked Guangdu.

Wu Han is crazy, and Wu Han's soldiers are also crazy.They were like murderous devils who would kill anyone they saw, just like chopping cabbage, causing Gongsun Shu's troops to howl and flee in all directions. Gongsun Shu only knew that assassinating people is a very exciting thing, but he didn't know how painful it is to be hunted down.Lai She died, and Cen Peng was stabbed.However, Gongsun Shu never expected how many Lai She and Cen Peng were rushing towards Chengdu. He watched helplessly as the soldiers abandoned him, but there was nothing he could do. Wu Han really wanted to kill Gongsun Shu crazy.At this time, the crazy Gongsun Shu started killing people like crazy.All those who fled before the battle had their family members dragged out and chopped down.

Whoever God wants to destroy, he first drives mad.I have said this sentence many times, but this time it was deeply reflected in Gongsun Shu, so I have to say it again.Gongsunshu's frantic massacre did not deter the troops whose morale was in turmoil. In the eyes of these soldiers, Gongsun Shu was terrifying, but Wu Han was even more terrifying.Ever since, fleeing for one's life was like an infectious disease spreading rapidly in the army. A large number of Shu troops still ignored Gongsunshu's butcher knife and went to find their own way to escape. At this time, Liu Xiu sent another edict to Gongsun Shu.

The tone of Liu Xiu's conversation with Gongsun Shu became more explicit each time.He told Gongsun Shu, if you surrender now and assassinate Lai She and Cen Peng, I will not pursue it.You don't have to take it to heart, let alone worry about losing your family's life.But I'm ugly to say before, if you don't surrender, it won't be so easy to get my edict next time. Liu Xiu's last sentence is really meaningful and inexhaustible.He seemed to tell Gongsun Shu: If you are stubborn and don't surrender, I won't bother to talk to you.Even if I care about you, next time I will not be like this, let alone such a condition.

Taking a step back, even if I am polite to you, Wu Han may not be polite to you.I'm afraid the imperial edict has come, and you will die to read it. Take a closer look at Liu Xiu, every time he speaks to the enemy, he is never just playing tricks.If he wants to tell you that you are disobedient and he is going to beat you, then he will really hit you.If he says he's going to beat you hard, he's going to beat you hard.He said this to Kaixiao before, and now he tells Gongsun like this. Gongsun Shu finally found out that Liu Xiu was not trying to scare him.Soon, he heard another sad news.Jiangzhou City, the capital of Berkshire, was captured by Feng Jun, the subordinate general of Cen Peng, and Tian Rong, king of Yijiang, was captured alive.Berkshire has fallen, and Chengdu is an isolated city.If it does not surrender, the isolated city may soon become a ghost town.

However, Gongsun Shu still refused to surrender.This is already the second time.He still said that there is no emperor who surrenders in the world.The winner is the king. It is not shameful to lose, but it is shameful to surrender. Gongsun Shu thought it over, even if he died, he would fight Wu Hanjun to the death. In fact, Gongsun Shu's sentence is not bragging.He did have the strength to fight, and he ran a lot of soldiers, but there were still more than 100,000 elite guards in Chengdu. Liu Xiu is not on the front line, but he is very well informed.Gongsun Shu's more than 100,000 troops were all in his eyes and he took it to heart.He sent someone to tell Wu Han not to act rashly.

If you don't act rashly, how can you move?Liu Xiu told Wu Han like this: Do not act rashly, which means not to move.Just stick to Guangdu City and wait for Gongsun Shu to fight.Just remember, don't fight him.Once you have a decisive battle with him, you will be fooled.If he wants to march, you will whet his appetite, make him dizzy, and make him exhausted before sending troops. If Gongsun Shu doesn't send troops, then well, you should take steps at every step, advance forward, and force them to take the initiative to attack. Liu Xiu's words are very important.However, he forgot to tell Wu Han: Remember.If you don't listen to me, you will suffer later.Because you didn't listen to me before, you have already suffered a loss.

Liu Xiu has similarities and differences with the great ancestor Liu Bang.The similarities are that they are all talented and bold people; the differences are that Liu Bang likes to brag a lot, and he is also pragmatic and pragmatic.As for Liu Xiu, he seldom plays tricks and is basically a pragmatist. Because he is pragmatic, so I like pragmatists.He entrusted important tasks to all generals who talked less and did more.Feng Yi was like this, General Zang Gong was like this, and so was Wu Han.In a word, he loves these pragmatic generals. Back then, when Liu Xiu was chasing and killing Wang Lang in the north, it was Wu Han who went deep into Yuyang County, brought back a cavalry, and reported the number to Liu Xiu truthfully, which moved Liu Xiu a lot.

However, Wu Han is pragmatic enough, but also a single-minded person.He was about to become stubborn, just like Deng Yu.When Deng Yu was beaten into a mess by Chimei, both Feng Yi and Liu Xiu persuaded him to endure it, but he just couldn't bear it, and he lost again and again, feeling ashamed of his defeat. However, there is a little difference between Wu Han and Deng Yu, which is that Deng Yu knows his mistakes and does not correct them, making mistakes repeatedly.Wu Han knows his mistakes and can correct them, and he will do it again.In comparison, although the results of the two are the same, the attitudes are different.Attitude determines destiny and should not be underestimated.

The general will be outside, and the king's life will not be accepted.Wu Han believes that he made a careless mistake last time.This time was different, without Liu Xiu, he was confident that he could still deal with Gongsun Shu and win Chengdu City. Is that so?Most generals who do not accept Liu Xiu's command will suffer greatly.According to this theorem, Wu Han wants to bypass Liu Xiu and get Gongsun Shu, in a word: hanging, really hanging. There is a river outside the south gate of Chengdu, called Jinjiang.Wu Han believes that according to the current situation, Gongsun Shu dare not go out of the city to challenge.According to Liu Xiu, it would be very troublesome to force Gongsun Shu out of the city step by step.It is better to drive the army directly outside the south gate. As long as the soldiers approach the city, Gongsun Shu will definitely fight.In this way, wouldn't it be easy?

Therefore, Wu Han led 20,000 infantry and cavalry mixed soldiers across the Jinjiang River and camped on the north bank.At the same time, the pontoon bridge was overhauled, and the deputy general Liu Shang was ordered to lead 10,000 people to stand by on the south bank.After completing all these tasks, Wu Han reported the basic situation on the front line to Liu Xiu. However, when Liu Xiu saw Wu Han's report, he was shocked and became very angry.He immediately replied a letter, scolding Wu Han. Wu Han only knew how to save trouble and fight quickly, but he didn't know the real intention of Liu Xiu's words to him before.On the battlefield, Liu Xiu is not a cautious person, nor is he a person who rushes forward, and he does not hesitate to shoot anything he thinks can be shot.However, this time he asked Wu Han to advance cautiously towards Chengdu City, in fact, he was playing a long-term game to catch big fish. Thinking about it carefully, Liu Xiu's command is not without reason.Before, when Wu Han attacked Guangdu, it was like chopping cabbage. The enemy army fled in all directions, and Gongsun Shuhou couldn't shout or frighten him.In this situation, there are actually more than 100,000 troops in Chengdu, which is enough to explain a problem-these people are not afraid of death. Confucius said, the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death.On the battlefield, soldiers are not afraid of death, so what is there to be afraid of?Therefore, Liu Xiu decided that Gongsun Shu's 100,000 soldiers in Chengdu should not be underestimated and must be dealt with carefully. Unfortunately, Wu Han was dazzled by the victory. Liu Xiu wanted to scold Wu Han, not to scold him for acting recklessly and disobeying orders.It's because he didn't have enough brains to set up a chess game that Gongsun Shu could start with.See how Liu Xiu criticizes Wu Han, and you will know a thing or two. Liu Xiu scolded like this: I told you thousands of times before, but I didn't expect you to still ignore my words.That's all, let's see what formation you set up.You go deep into the enemy, but you are more than 20 miles away from Liu Shang.With such a distance, as long as Gongsun Shu sends troops to restrain you and surround Liu Shang, neither of you will be able to rescue each other at all.Hurry up and return to Guangdu before Gongsun Shu sees the flaw. There is a saying in the art of war: soldiers are impermanent.On the battlefield, the two armies form a confrontational situation and take care of each other. How far is reasonable? This question needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.Sometimes, a hundred miles is not too far, which is just right, and sometimes, twenty miles seems too far.This must be viewed comprehensively in all aspects of the battlefield. The reason why Liu Xiu said that Wu Han and Liu Shang were too far apart by more than 20 miles was not because more than 20 miles were too far away. The real situation was that Wu Han was too close to Gongsun Shu.As soon as Gongsun Shu opened the city gate and the army pushed out, the result would be known immediately.But Liu Shang is going to come to support, it is estimated that the day lily is cold. Liu Xiu thought that his letter should be able to save Wu Han in time.However, he never expected that before Wu Han received his letter, Gongsun Shu had already seen Wu Han's flaws.
