Nanxiang County, an ordinary county seat, is located in the northwest of Nanyang County.

But now, it is too guarded by Nanyang where Liu Jin is currently stationed.

Since the crusade against Mushan's Qinwang Holy Decree covers the world, Nanyang has become a place of war, Yuan Shu poured all the troops of Runan, directly attacked Nanyang, Nanyang only has a battalion of main force led by Liu Jin, under the battle, it didn't take long to block, and you have lost the east of Nanyang.

Later, Sun Jian came, the Jiangdong army attached to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was even stronger, Liu Jin faced this situation, he could only retreat all the way to the west, mainly to save the main force, but now in the thirty-six counties of Nanyang, he lost most of it.

In his hands are only six county seats.

Nanxiang, Champion, Shunyang, Wudang, Danshui, Xixian.

These six county towns form a line in the northwest of Nanyang, but compared to the rest of Nanyang County, they are still relatively barren cities.

Nanyang County is the largest county in the world, with a population of more than 2 million.

However, the combined population of these counties is less than 300,000, and the surrounding mountain roads of these counties are rugged, the mountains are undulating, the roads are difficult to walk, and there are not even a few official roads, most of them are small roads and mountain roads.

It is precisely because of this topography that Liu Jin has a foothold.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Runan Army and the Jiangdong Army, if you want to occupy Nanyang, with the main force of Liu Jin's first battalion, it is impossible to hold the land of these six counties.

Among the county offices.

Liu Jin knelt and sat down, he held a secret letter in his hand, this was a secret letter from Mu Jing, the young master of the Mu family, he read it again and again, and thought about it again and again, again and again, and was always hesitating.

"Liu Taishou, you should give me an answer!"

Tan Zong knelt down at His Highness, his expression was calm, and he said indifferently.

Liu Jin raised his head and stared at this young man, he was no stranger to Tan Zong, when he was in Nanyang, he had several encounters, and he knew that this was one of Mu Jing's henchmen: "What answer do you want me to give you?" ”

"Liu Taishou, although the first master is dead, the young master is still there!"

Tan Zongdao: "This military order, do you listen to it or not!" ”

Liu Jin was silent.

The news of Mu Shan's death in battle has spread all over the world, he doesn't know what he is insisting on, the best result, but he immediately surrenders to Yuan Shu, coercs the six counties to surrender, if Yuan Shu still wants people's hearts, he will accept himself, and he can save his life at that time.

According to this, once Yuan Shu returns, I am afraid that he will immediately send troops to seize the land of the six counties northwest of Nanyang, and he will never allow Nanyang to be divided, and Yuan Shu, who has enough troops at that time, is not something he can stop at all.

But Mu Jing's letter, he was shaken again.

He thought of something.

In the battle of Runan, Mushan and he had already fallen into the siege of the Yellow Turban Army, and he thought at that time that even if he rushed out, he would suffer heavy casualties, and even if he was a civilian official, he would be in the middle of the war first.

But Mu Jing came out.

It was the first time I suddenly met the young master of the Mu family, Mu Jing.

"I have a guest!" Liu Jin suddenly said: "Why don't you see it too!" ”

He waved his hand, but after a while, a person walked in by pushing the door outside, and he said with a grin: "Zhongsun, Mu Yuanzhong is already dead, what are you still thinking about, the conditions given to you by General Hou are so favorable, you should seize the opportunity, otherwise when General Hou's army comes in, a certain family will not be able to protect you!" ”

In the past, Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi once belonged to He Jinmen, and later ...... became Yuan Shu's dogleg.

Yuan Shu has the arrogance of a family, but he is not a fool, and those who can stand out in this cruel era are all heroes.

When he attacked Nanyang, he felt that his foundation was weak, so he used the former Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi to sort out Nanyang for him.

Zhang Shi didn't collide with Mu Jing this time, but he had been unifying Nanyang with chips all the time, and he wanted to persuade Liu Jin to raise troops and surrender to Yuan Shu.

After all, Liu Jin still holds hundreds of thousands of people in six counties.

There are also more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

It will be a great loss to fight, and on the battlefield of this kind of mountain road, it is necessary to have at least one to two battle losses before it is possible to recapture the northwest land of Nanyang.

"Zhang Zhi?"

Tan Zong raised his head and glanced at it, his face was ugly.

He glared at Liu Jin and said, "Liu Taishou, what do you want?" ”

At this moment, his heart was cold.

Could it be that Liu Jin has already surrendered to Yuan Shu?

Once that happens, he can only implement the second set of plans.

Assassinate Liu Jin!

This is a difficult task, almost impossible to complete, and it will even make him lose his life here, but he has no hesitation, the broken blade on his cuff has been unsheathed, just waiting for Liu Jin's answer,

"I didn't want to do anything, I just thought that I had betrayed once!"

Liu Jin stood up, looked at Tan Zong, then looked at Zhang Shi, walked up step by step, and said faintly: "There can't be a second time!" ”

At the beginning, he took refuge in Mushan, which was equivalent to betraying Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi at the beginning, maybe he was forced to do so, but he did betray Zhang Shi.

"Hahaha, Zhongsun, I knew that you would definitely have a knowing choice, and I would not blame ...... past"

Zhang Shi's smile stopped abruptly.

Click!

A knife through the chest.

It was Liu Jin who held the knife.

It was Zhang Zhi who was pierced through the chest by this knife.

Zhang Shi's face stiffened, he looked at the knife on his chest, looked at the stained blood, and blood kept gushing out of his mouth, but he still didn't know, so he used his last strength and asked, "Zhong...... Sun, for ...... For...... Miscellaneous...... Whatever! ”

"I said it, there can't be a second betrayal!"

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Shi and said faintly: "Mushan never lives up to me, I can't bear him, so I can only be sorry!" ”

Zhang Zhi died.

He escaped the four rounds of the He Jin Rebellion, but he never thought that he was really in the hands of his former classmates.

Tan Zong was also taken aback at this moment, his eyes changed when he looked at Liu Jin, and the broken blade in his hand was also submerged in the long sleeves, staring at Liu Jin vividly.

This is a ruthless man.

It's better to be yourself.

Liu Jin threw the knife away and shouted in a low voice: "Someone!" ”

"In!"

A few guards from outside came in.

"Deal with it, remember, to have a thick burial, please ask some Confucian people in the city to set up an inscription for him!"

"No!"

Several guards escaped the body, and someone washed the ground clean.

"Tan Zong, tomorrow I will personally lead the troops to the north, quickly occupy Wuguan, and respond to the young master's soldiers and horses going south, but the way into Hanzhong, I have no choice, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Tun soldiers Xicheng, he is also guarding us!"

"You don't have to worry about that!"

Tan Zong stood up: "I'm about to enter Sichuan, if this trip goes well, you and I can see you again!" ”

"Then I wish you all the best!"

"Liu Taishou, I was irritable just now, I'm sorry!" Tan Zong bowed his head, he shouldn't doubt Liu Jin.

"It's okay!"

Liu Jin laughed at himself and said: "You should guard against me, I just don't want to regret it, Yuan Shu and the young master, I choose the young master!" ”

He is a son of a poor family, Yuan Shu is a son of a family, he knows very well that no matter how good his ability is, he will not be valued by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is more important than the family.

Therefore, his balance is still inclined to pastoral scenery.

……

……

Chang'an City.

The Guanzhong Army was stationed in Bashang.

Huangfu Song looked at the holy decree in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "This holy decree is indeed a holy decree, but there is something missing, and it is not enough to transfer the army!" ”

"General Huangfu, this is Your Majesty's holy will, is there anything wrong?"

A shrill voice from a eunuch shouted.

"Ask him out!"

Huangfu Song waved his hand, and the two guards on the left and right took the eunuch out.

Soon Huangfu Song gathered the captains of the various departments of the Guanzhong Army, and then said: "The Mu thief wants to break through the siege of Guanzhong, and the Son of Heaven will issue an edict to let my Guanzhong Army go east to defend against the enemy!" ”

"Father, there seems to be a problem with the seal on this holy decree, there is only a private seal, no national seal, is there a lack of the seal of the jade seal of the country!"

The young emperor Jianshou said.

"Hmm!"

Huangfu Song nodded.

"This is completely made by the Xiliang Army, we can completely disrespect this holy decree!" Nephew Huangfu Li said coldly.

"The first emperor is dead, King Chen Liu ascended the throne, we can't interfere in this matter, Yang Biao Wang Yun, all support the Son of Heaven, I Guan Sergeant Clan, I should support the Son of Heaven, so the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven!"

Huangfu Song shook his head: "The Son of Heaven commands, you can't disrespect!" ”

"Father is going to send troops?"

Huangfu Jianshou frowned.

"Mu father and son chaos, turmoil in the government, ruined my Han family, although the thief is dead, but the thief is still rampant, how can I allow him to go out of the customs and harm the world!"

Huangfu Song's resentment towards the Mu clan came from when he was driven out of Luoyang, and now he has the opportunity to make a move, and he wants to avenge the new and old hatreds together.

"Pass my military orders!"

Huangfu Song stood up and said, "The Guanzhong army is assembled, and the camp will be pulled out tomorrow morning, and within three days, we will rush to Shangluo!" ”

"Aren't you going to Hongnong?" Huangfu Jianshou Road.

"Humph!"

Huangfu Song snorted coldly: "Mu Longtu's plan for this thief, can deceive others, can't deceive me, he is fighting in the south of Hongnong River, it is nothing more than delaying time, he must want to go south to Nanyang, Wuguan is the key, we come out from Shangluo, we can seize Wuguan, block his last retreat, and naturally block him in the place of Guanzhong!" ”
