Nanyang County is the largest county in the world, with 37 counties under its jurisdiction, with a total population of nearly 2.5 million, and the power of the family is entrenched, like towering trees rooted in the land of Nanyang, you never know how complex the root system of these towering trees buried in the ground is.

Although Yuan Shu is a justifiable Nanyang Taishou, he also relies on his background as the first family of the Yuan family in the world in Runan, so that the major families in Nanyang are willing to help Yuan Shu stabilize the position of Nanyang Taishou. Otherwise, without the help of the major families in Nanyang, Yuan Shu would not have been able to control Nanyang at all.

If only with Yuan Shu's own strength, it is somewhat unrealistic to want to control the current Nanyang, unless Nanyang is affected by the monstrous war and eradicates many families entrenched in Nanyang, in order to completely control Nanyang, otherwise, as long as these families who have been entrenched in Nanyang for at least two hundred years are here, Nanyang is under their control.

It is true that it is impossible for the Nanyang family to oppose Yuan Shu, the rule of Nanyang Taishou, head-on, but once they disobey Yuan Shu, or have two hearts with Yuan Shu, then they will have various ways to obstruct Yuan Shu's rule over Nanyang.

Compared with the major families in Nanyang, the people will believe in the Taishou who just came to Nanyang or the family that has been entrenched in Nanyang for hundreds of years, which is a question with a definite answer in itself. Because of this, after Yuan Shu occupied Runan, he shifted the focus of his rule from Wancheng to Pingyu, in order to get rid of the influence of many families in Nanyang on his rule. Otherwise, if Yuan Shu had always placed his ruling center in Nanyang, with the strength of the major families in Nanyang, it would not take much effort to infiltrate Yuan Shu's strength from top to bottom.

Although the power of the family in this era is not as terrifying as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and even the Sui and Tang dynasties after the Three Kingdoms, it is also very powerful. Yuan Shu was born in the world's first family Runan Yuan, naturally knows the means and strength of the family, he will not let his power be controlled by the family, so after occupying Runan, Yuan Shu is to move the focus of rule to Pingyu.

Of course, Yuan Shu's shift of focus to Pingyu does not mean that Yuan Shu just ignores Nanyang, Yang Hong, Zhang Xun, Liu Xun and 20,000 elite troops are stationed in Wancheng, plus Li Yan, Chen Chi and others are all serving in Nanyang, which shows that Yuan Shu attaches great importance to Nanyang.

When Yuan Shu marched into Chenliu, an army of about 30,000 people appeared in Caiyang County, south of Nanyang, and the leading general of this 30,000-strong army was now the general Wen Ping under the command of Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's desire to seize Nanyang did not get the support of several major families in Jingzhou, so he naturally would not use Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zu and others to go north to Nanyang. And the relationship between Huang Zu and Liu Biao is not very good, the current Huang Zu serves as the Jiangxia Taishou, and he basically listens to Liu Biao and does not listen to Xuan, which is the same as the relationship between Zhang Lu and Liu Yan, but Huang Zu still obeys Liu Biao's orders in name, but Jiangxia County is already completely controlled by Huang Zu, Liu Biao can't intervene at all, and Huang Zu does not allow Liu Biao to insert his hand into his Jiangxia.

Wen Ping, the word Zhongye, a native of Wanxian County, Nanyang, after Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, although he controlled Jingzhou with the help of the strength of several major families in Jingzhou, Liu Biao knew that the major families in Jingzhou were not enough to fully believe, so after controlling Jingzhou, Liu Biao also began to cultivate his own power. It was under this background that Wen Ping, Wang Wei and others were favored and reused by Liu Biao.

This time when he went north to Nanyang, Liu Biao did not use Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, but ordered Wen to hire as a general and lead an army of 30,000 to advance into Nanyang, just to prevent several major families in Jingzhou from making ghosts, which shows that Liu Biao attaches great importance to this operation.

Wen Ping rode a horse with a knife, his eyes pointed straight ahead, and where Wen Ping's eyes looked, there was a faint shadow of a city, which was Caiyang County.

Xiangyang, the capital of Jingzhou, is close to Nanyang County, and Caiyang County is not far from Xiangyang City, this time Wen Ping led an army of 30,000 to attack, which was to arrive in Caiyang County at the fastest speed in the shortest time, just to catch the Nanyang side off guard, and take advantage of the Nanyang side did not react to seek the greatest results.

Caiyang County is just a small county town, with hundreds of county soldiers guarding it, how can it be an opponent in the face of the 30,000 elite Jingzhou army led by Wen Ping? From before Wen Ping led the army to Caiyang County to capture Caiyang County, it only took an hour. When Wen Ping stood at the head of Caiyang County, the Caiyang County Order was also escorted to Wen Ping.

Wen Ping's eyes swept over the young Caiyang County Commander, and asked bluntly, "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

Caiyang County Commander was originally just a child of a family, but because of his talent, Yang Hong valued him and appointed him as the county commander, how could he have seen such a situation. After Wen Ping led the army to kill under Caiyang County, the Caiyang County Commander originally wanted to send people out of the city to deliver the letter, but his people had not yet been sent, Wen Ping had already invaded the county seat and captured the county commander.

In the face of Wen Ping's words of surrender, Caiyang County Ling surrendered a little, but the pride of being born in a family in his heart made him unwilling to surrender like this, and he snorted coldly with a little toughness: "Hmph! ”

"Buzz!"

As soon as Caiyang County's voice fell, a knife flashed, Wen Ping's hand rose and fell, and Caiyang County Ling's head with an unbelievable look fell to the ground with a bang, blood splashed, and a little red spot on Wen Ping's armor.

This time, Wen Ping attacked Nanyang on the order of Liu Biao, pursuing the word "fast", and he did not have a good impression of the county orders in Nanyang counties.

"Bo Miao!"

"The last general!" As soon as Wen Ping's voice fell, a burly young general next to him stood up and hugged his fists back.

Wen Ping's eyes glanced at Huo Du and said, "I'll give you three thousand people, you set off immediately and take Xiangxiang County for me before the news spreads." Can you be confident? ”

A trace of determination flashed in the eyes of the young Huo Du, and his face was filled with a confident light, and he said: "General rest assured, one Xiangxiang County is only, and three thousand people are enough." ”

"Okay, then I'll add another 2,000 soldiers and horses to you, after you take Xiangxiang County, continue to go north and capture Pingshi County, I will go north from another road to attack Xinye, I want Nanyang to know the strength of our Jingzhou army this time."

Huo Du's eyes were also burning with the flames of war, and he took the order to leave.
