Zhang Liao grabbed Wen Chou with a halberd, Wen Chou stopped him with a gun, and the two exchanged horses and Wen Chou did not fall behind. But behind Zhang Liao, Xu Huang raised a stone axe and slashed at him, and Wen Chou narrowly escaped.

Guan Yu urged Chitu to come immediately at this time to grab people's heads, and a loud shout in the distance startled the three generals.

It turned out that Yan Liang led the army to save Wen Chou, and Yan Liang came straight to meet Wen Chou. Yan Liang glanced at Wen Chou, Wen Chou had already understood, and the two had a tacit understanding in the past.

Yan Liangwen and Chou raised their respective weapons, swords and guns together, and drove their horses side by side towards Zhang Liao and Xu Huang. This is the combined attack technique of Yan Liangwen and Chou - Mandarin Duck Double Unique, this knife and one shot turned into a fierce whirlwind and attacked directly, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang each met it.

After less than five battles, they found that Yan Liangwen and Chou's combination of attacks exerted a power far greater than the simple sum of two people. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang had to retreat, Guan Yu came to kill him, and he slashed Huashan towards Yan Liangwen and Chou in one move, but was easily resolved by the two.

Guan Yu slashed horizontally with one move, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife couldn't slash in at all, and Yan Liangwen's ugly defense was impenetrable. Zhang Liao Xu Huang came to help Guan Yu, and the three of them fought around Yan Liangwen like a lamp, but they couldn't attack at all.

Guan Yu slashed at Yan Liang with a knife, and Wen Chou swept over to save Yan Liang with a shot. Guan Yu wanted to cut Wen Chou first, but was shocked back by Yan Liang's knife. After fifteen days, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang were shocked to find that their physical strength was almost exhausted, while Yan Liangwen and Chou were not red and breathless.

Guan Yu thought that he couldn't fight to the death with the two, so he slipped away first, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang saw that Guan Yu was defeated and left, so they also returned to their horses and retreated.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou withdrew from the encirclement of Cao's army while fighting, Liu Bei had already returned to the army, and Wen Chou described Guan Yu's appearance to Liu Bei. Liu Bei said with a smile: "Yan Liangwen and Chou are two generals brave, if my second brother comes back, I will personally recruit him to vote." ”

Yan Liangwen was newly defeated, and Yuan Shaojun's spirit was bruised. Yuan's army lost the first battle, but still had an advantage in troops. Yuan Shao consulted with his advisers to prepare for the march to Yangwu and the south to attack Xuchang.

Just when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were holding each other in Guandu, Han Xuan was also taking the opportunity to consolidate his power in Yangzhou. Although Han Xuan had previously defeated Liu Xun, Jiujiang County and the northern part of Lujiang had not yet been occupied, Cao Cao took the opportunity to appoint Yan Xiang, who had been Yuan Shu's strategist, as the Taishou of Jiujiang, Yan Xiang was very resourceful and courageous, and once he took office in Jiujiang, he would definitely hinder Han Xuan.

Han Xuan naturally would not let Yan Xiang take office, he appointed Li Shu as the Taishou of Lujiang, Li Shu was also a Beijing official before like Yan Xiang, and Han Xuan asked him to be the county guard. Of course, Han Xuan secretly made a deal with Li Shu, but poor Yan Xiang was robbed and killed by Li Shu on the way to office.

Since Lü Meng governed Danyang, with the assistance of Jiang Qin, Lü Dai and others, Danyang has developed rapidly. Han Xuan moved his family from Changsha to Danyang, and there was a naval army to guard the Yangtze River moat, and Danyang was very safe.

Han Xuan sat in Danyang and recruited Danyang elite soldiers, and Gao Shun had also trained the new camp. Although there are not many war horses in Han Xuan's army, the infantry and naval army are strong, and the infantry who attack the city and conquer the land is very large.

Han Xuan often told everyone in the church that he would attack Xu Du while Yuan Cao was at war and welcome the Son of Heaven, but Zhang Zhao, Hua Xin and others opposed it so that Han Xuan gave up. The former Wu County Taishou Xu Gong was at the church meeting, and saw that Han Xuan had the intention of going north, so he secretly sent an envoy to Xu Du to write to Cao Cao.

The letter roughly stated:

Han Xuan is good at using soldiers, which can be compared to Han Xin. Chen Wu is brave and similar to Xiang Ji. These two join forces, and no one in Jiangnan is invincible. Now Chen Wu does not know his whereabouts, Han Xuan's lonely palm is difficult to sing, and the court should show honor and favor outside and recall the Beijing master; Do not make people live in other towns, thinking that they will be troubled.

The envoy of Xu Gong crossed the river with the book, was captured by the soldiers of the defense river, and sent to Han Xuan. Han Xuan was furious after reading the secret letter, if Xu Gong succeeded, he would give Cao Cao a reason to summon Han Xuan to Beijing, which would be more auspicious for Han Xuan. And Jiangdong, which has been unified by Han Xuan, will fall back into a divided situation, and Xu Gong can benefit from it.

Han Xuan was furious and beheaded Xu Gong's envoy and sent someone to pretend to invite Xu Gong to discuss the matter. Han Xuan sent Zhou Tai to lead the armor to "invite" Xu Gong, and Zhou Tai arrived at Xu Gong's mansion and said to Xu Gong: "The Marquis of Chu invites Lord Xu to discuss matters!" ”

Xu Gongxin said, Could it be that the matter has been revealed? Several guests in Xu Gong's courtyard watched Zhou Tai forcibly take Xu Gong away, their eyes full of hostility and helplessness.

Zhou Tai didn't take them to heart, and he didn't notice a slight arc at the corner of a doorman's mouth.

Xu Gong arrived at Han Xuan's mansion, Han Xuan took out the secret letter sent by Xu Gong to Cao Cao and confronted him, Han Xuan said: "Do you want to send me to death!" ”

Xu Gong resolutely refused to admit that the secret letter was written by him, and Han Xuan sneered: "Coward! If you dare to do it, what's the use of leaving you? ”

Han Xuan ordered the warriors to strangle Xu Gong and sent troops to raid Xu Gong's mansion, and Xu Gong's family members had already fled when they saw that things were not good. Xu Gong has three family guests, and he wants to avenge Xu Gong, but he only hates that Han Xuan is guarded by Zhou Tai, Jia Hua, Song Qian and others, and he has no way to start.

Han Xuan wanted to go north to attack Cao Cao, Zhang Zhao and a group of Jiangdong clans strongly opposed, and after so long, Han Xuan finally understood why they did this. Because the Jiangdong clan controlled most of the land in Jiangdong and had extremely strong financial resources, they were able to obtain official positions under Han Xuan's rule and ensure their status and interests.

Once Han Xuan expands, there will be new warrior clans to join Han Xuan's group, and the interests of the Jiangdong clan will be threatened. Compared with the enterprising Han Xuan, they prefer to keep their golden jobs.

In the past six months, Han Xuan did not use troops on a large scale, and Han Xuan followed Chen Qun's suggestion to vigorously develop the southern areas of Huiji and Yuzhang. He Qi beat the Shanyue people in Huiji, and Zhuge Jin also pacified the Shanyue rebels in Wu County, and one town and one caress were in charge of it.

Many Shanyue people were under the rule of Han Xuan, and the population of Jiangdong gradually increased. There are Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun and others in internal affairs, Zhong Xuan in justice, and He Qi, Zhuge Jin and others in Zhenfu Shanyue. Huang Wudie, Du Shi and the children also quickly adapted to Danyang, and Han Xuan could free up his hands to go to Changsha and Jiangxia to deal with Liu Du and Liu Biao.

The dockyard in Changsha has built a new large ship, which is a transport ship that can carry more than 3,000 people. This kind of ship is more stable than the building ship, and it is mainly used for landing operations, and there are many places where Han Xuan wants to use it.

Han Xuan led Zhou Tai, Jia Hua, Song Qian and more than 5,000 sailors to go up the river and inspect Jiangxia. Liu Biao lost Jiangxia, he lost the barrier against Han Xuan, and Liu Biao definitely wanted to recapture Jiangxia.

Han Xuan's Mong rode the wind and waves, passing by a towering mountain in the middle of the river, only to see that the mountain was lush with trees, and many birds inhabited it, and the sunset reflected on the mountain, bright or dark. The people on the boat were amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of them and lingered.

Han Xuan felt as if he had been here, so he let the boat dock and climbed the mountain with everyone. Han Xuan followed his memory to find his way, crossed the thorns and trees, and finally found the stone stele.

It was the grave of Yang Xiong, who sacrificed his life to save him back then, Han Xuan couldn't help but feel infinitely sad in his heart, Zhou Tai and the others saw Han Xuan so shocked and asked why.

Han Xuan pointed to Yang Xiong's stele and said: "This mountain is called 'Xiongshan', Yang Xiong died to save me in the past, and I was named after burying the rest of this place." Thinking that I only had Yang Xiong, Dong Ping, and Cao Xing under my account, and now only Dong Ping is still alive, and I am busy in front of Yang Xiong's tomb to pay respects. Yang Xiong, do you know that you have ever complained about me? ”

A gust of wind blew, Han Xuan, Zhou Tai and others knelt down in front of Yang Xiong's grave with the soldiers, Han Xuan wiped his tears, the grass in front of Yang Xiong's grave was already very high. Han Xuan led people to pull out the grass and open a road, and they would come to worship every year in the future.

Han Xuan got on the boat again and said with emotion: "What is a hero? The hero is sacrificing himself to save his friends, and it is Yang Xiong. The hero is not afraid of strong enemies, and he is Cao nature. Heroes are all those who rule the world and care for the people! ”

Jia Hua bowed to Han Xuan and said: "The lord's understanding of 'heroes' far exceeds Cao Cao's, Cao Cao, Liu Bei Qingmei boiled wine and talked about heroes compared with the lord, and their minds and artistic conceptions are not as good as the lord's. Jia Hua waits for worship! ”
