In the council hall of the official office, there were several coffins, and there were several straw mats on the ground next to the coffins, and the corpses were placed on the straw mats, covered with white cloths.

The envoy of the state of Chen to Jiangbei, when he left Beijing, he still talked and laughed with Kong Fan, and now turned into a cold corpse, lying on a straw mat.

Last night, Zhou Guodongnan Dao Daxingtai Shangshu ordered Wei Chi Youqi to set up a banquet to entertain Chen envoys, as a result, Chen Jun sneak attack Guangling, in a chaos, Wei Chi Youqi was furious, killed Fu and other Chen envoys, and waited for Chen Jun to enter the city, and saw the corpses of Fu and others in the post house.

At the end of Qin, Chu and Han fought, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, sent the general Han Xin to attack the state of Qi, and at the same time sent a lobbyist Li Shiqi to persuade Tian Guang, the king of Qi, to surrender to the king of Qi.

The Qi army relaxed its vigilance, but Han Xin took the opportunity to sneak attack, and the battle was broken, and Li Shiqi was almost killed by the angry Tian Guang and escaped by luck.

Now Fu and others are not so lucky, Chen Jun sneak attack on Guangling, did not tell the envoys, so Fu and others can only sacrifice their lives for the country, Kong Fan confirmed that it is correct, and signaled the military officials to collect Fu's body into the coffin and transport it back to Jiankang for burial.

Fu was imprisoned by the two of them a few years ago because he offended Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing, and his words were fierce when he argued on the above table, and he was so angry that the Son of Heaven was not good, but the Son of Heaven was in a good mood and cherished his talents, so he dismissed Fu's official position and let him stay at home, leaving a life.

But Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing didn't plan to let each other go, so this time they specially suggested that the Son of Heaven use Fu as the envoy to Jiangbei, and he fought with the idea of borrowing a knife to kill people.

Kong Fan and Fu don't have any big enmity, but they chose to see death rather than save them, such as Fu, a minister who prides himself on being a high-ranking minister, is the natural enemy of these fortunate courtiers, and it is always good to die one more.

Kong Fan and Shi Wenqing are the same kind of people, for the sake of high-ranking officials and good luck, in order to please the Son of Heaven, they will do anything, they don't care about being traitors, and they won't be happy to kill a Fu for this.

And Fu "died well" this time, after the body was transported back to Jiankang, he would inevitably have a grand burial in the imperial court, if he died last time, where would there be such treatment?

The coffins were loaded in turn, and the convoy drove out of the city under the escort of the soldiers, Kong Fan walked out of the conference hall, just in time to meet Xiao Maha, the commander of the attack on Guangling, and the two greeted each other, and then talked.

The relationship between the two is very poor on weekdays, Kong Fan, as a confidant of the Son of Heaven, specializes in working against Xiao Maha and other generals, and the Son of Heaven divides part of the troops of Xiao Maha and other generals and divides them to Kong Fan, Shi Wenqing and others.

The trilogy is a valuable wealth, which can be passed down from father to son, Xiao Maha and other generals have been fighting for decades, and they have long regarded the trilogy as the most precious thing, and now they have been divided, just like the family wealth being robbed, which makes people angry.

However, Kong Fan, Shi Wenqing and others have the Son of Heaven as their backers, and the generals dare not speak out, and the relationship between the two sides is like fire and water.

However, this time is different from the past, the official army has won a great victory, and it is a time when there is a lot to do, Kong Fan is not stupid, he knows that there will be great achievements one after another, and he will not engage in internal strife at this critical juncture.

And for Xiao Maha, although he extremely hates Kong Fan, but now Chen Guo has finally opened up the situation, if he can take advantage of the victory to pursue after recovering Guangling, it is very likely to recover Huainan Prefecture.

Therefore, based on various reasons, the two people who were originally incompatible began to have a heated discussion on how to act next, and Xiao Maha's opinion was to follow the strategy formulated in advance, seize the time to take advantage of the victory and pursue, recover the Huaishui first-line key land as soon as possible, and rebuild the Huaishui defense line.

Huaishui flows from west to east, and finally flows into the sea, a long Huaishui, is one of the important defense lines of the Southern Dynasties, and if you want to hold the Huaishui line, it is impossible to fortify all areas along the way, from ancient times to the present, as long as you hold a few places, the Huaishui defense line is complete.

Huaishui has several main tributaries, flowing from north to south, the northern army south, its main army must go south along one or even all of the tributaries, so the mouth of these rivers is the southern army must hold the important place.

As long as there is a point that cannot be held, there will be a gap in the Huaishui defense line.

The main tributary of Huaishui, to the west to the east is Yingshui, Whirlpool, Surabaya, its entrance to Huaikou is Yingkou, Whirlpool, Sikou in turn, there are four cities on the south bank of Huaishui, it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

The Huainan city that guards the Yingkou is Shouchun, blocking the enemy from attacking upstream in Yingshui, and its upstream corresponds to the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion of Zhou, and Shouchun is now the Yangzhou Governor's Office of Zhou.

The Huainan city that guards the mouth of the vortex is Zhongli, blocking the enemy from attacking in the vortex, and its upstream corresponds to the Bozhou Governor's Mansion of the Zhou State, and Zhongli is now under the jurisdiction of the Yangzhou Governor's Office of the Zhou State.

The Huainan city that guards Sikou is Shanyang, and it forms a corner with Xuyi on its west side, blocking the enemy who invades in Surabaya, and its upstream corresponds to the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion of the Zhou State, which is now under the jurisdiction of the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion of the Zhou State.

Shanyang and Xuyi, located north of Guangling, recovered Guangling's Chen army, through the Hangou north to enter Yanghu, can directly attack Shanyang, and then divide the troops to the west to attack Xuyi, this action must be completed before the Xuzhou army of Zhou State reacts.

Then make every effort to advance westward and capture Zhongli, only in this way can the Huaishui defense line be initially constructed, as for Shouchun, it will be difficult to take it in a short time, because the Chen army has to divide troops to recover other Huainan prefectures, and it is powerless.

And Zhou's Yangzhou army, now attacking the upper reaches of Huaishui's Guangcheng, Shouchun is more than enough, unable to prevent Chen's army from recovering Huainan Prefecture, more importantly, Zhou Guoquan is late, leading a large army to besiege Yuzhou Prefecture to govern the Hanging Gourd, before solving the Hanging Gourd, I am afraid that it will not be able to go south to reinforce Huainan.

The internal strife in Zhou became like this, Xiao Maha knew that the opportunity must not be lost and not come again, and the Chen army must rush to attack the city and seize the land as much as possible before Wei Chi's army reacts, and rebuild the Huaishui defense line.

The commander and the supervising army should be on the same page, otherwise the Son of Heaven will have trouble sleeping, but Kong Fan has figured it out now, recovering Guangling is only the first step, and recovering Huainan County is the greatest credit.

Only by cooperating with Xiao Maha, an old horseman, can he take credit, as long as people have a good mind, even if the enemy is in front of him, he can talk and laugh with the other party, and Kong Fan's calculations are more than that.

If Chen Guo can really advance to the Huaishui line, then it is necessary to adjust his strategy in order to maximize his benefits.

If the Wei Chi clan wants to free up his hands to deal with the Yuwen clan, he has to make peace with Chen Guo and take Huaishui as the boundary; And the Yuwen clan didn't want to be constrained by Chen Guo, so he had to return the captured Jiangzhou, Lingbiao, and Ba and Hunan lands, otherwise he would not be able to free up his hands to deal with the Wei Chi clan.

Will the Yuwen clan honestly return the encroached land of the Chen Kingdom?

No, but it is impossible for Chen Guo to sit idly by and watch the upstream Jiangzhou in the hands of other countries, threatening the national capital Jiankang at all times, and his main force will continue to attack north across the Huaishui, and the Yuwen clan will have to make concessions if they want to maintain the relationship between the two sides.

Otherwise, after Chen recovered Huainan, the direction of attack would inevitably turn to the west, in order to relieve Jiankang of the huge threat, Yuwen clan was already very difficult to withstand Wei Chi's attack, and then in the face of Chen's attack, I am afraid that the troops would be stretched.

Therefore, sooner or later, the two sides will sit down and negotiate on the issues of Ba, Hunan, Jiangzhou, and Lingbiao, and the envoys of Chen Guo have a heavy responsibility, and once the talks are completed, it will be no less than the recovery of Huainan.

Therefore, the choice of the Lord is none other than Ta Kongfan.

The emperor of Zhou fell into Shannan and wanted to rebuild the imperial court, but it is foreseeable that the status of the Qi Wang Yuwenliang family in the new court will be very high, and his nephew (second son) Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen is now hanging the gourd and Wei Chi to confront, if he can survive, Yuwenwen's status in the new court will also be very high.

Yu Wenwen is my own trader who has cooperated with me for many years!

Kong Fan's calculation is that after the situation of the three parties is initially stabilized, he will strive to send Zhou Guo (Yuwen clan), and then collude with Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen in private... Cooperate and find a way to reach a new covenant on mutually acceptable terms.

It doesn't matter how much lost land the other party spits out, as long as a new covenant can be reached, his Kong Fan's position in the eyes of the Son of Heaven cannot be replaced!
