From Youzhou in Hebei to Huainan and Wuzhou, from Jing and Xiangzhou in Shannan to Huangzhou in Jiangbei, the Zhou army fought against the menacing Sui army and Chen army.

Zhou Guoshan Nanzhou County was besieged, and the contact with the imperial court had been cut off, so it could only counterattack with its own strength, and the troops of the five governors of Jing, Xiang, An, Jiangling, and Huangzhou were all mobilized.

At the beginning of November, Fangcheng in Jingzhou, Shannan, was broken by the Sui army, and then the Jingzhou army organized a defense in Shangwan; Soon after, the army of the Jinzhou Governor's Office of the Sui State broke through several passes of the Zhou State and entered a hundred miles west of Xiangzhou along the Han River, and the Xiangzhou Governor Yu Wenming gathered his army to defend against the enemy.

In mid-November, the Xinzhou Governor's Office of the Sui State sent troops to attack the Liang State downstream by land and water, and the Chen State across the river from the Liang State also sent troops to cross the river, and the combined forces of Sui and Chen jointly attacked Jiangling, the capital of the Liang State.

In late November, the combined forces of Sui and Chen approached Jiangling, the capital of Liang, and Emperor Liang moved east to Anlu with the royal family and important ministers, while the army of the Jiangling Governor's Mansion of Zhou and the Liang army held Jiangling and waited for reinforcements from the Anzhou army to the west.

Sui and Zhou fought in Youzhou, won and lost repeatedly, and launched an attack on Taihang Qicheng in addition to Jingcheng.

At the end of November, Deng Xiaoru, the governor of Huangzhou in the south of Zhou Guoshan, led the Huangzhou army to the east, and the water and land army reinforced the Hezhou governor's office.

In three consecutive battles, the Zhou State Navy won a complete victory, and the rebuilt Chen State Jiangzhou Navy suffered heavy casualties, and the Huangzhou Army besieged Wei to save Zhao's plan, and crossed the Yangtze River to attack the Chen State Jiangzhou Prefecture to relieve the siege of Hezhou.

In mid-December, Chen Guobazhou's naval army moved south along the Yangtze River and cooperated with the Yingzhou army to attack the stronghold of the Zhou army in Hankou, Jiangbei; In late December, Sima Yangji of Bazhou of Zhou, together with Shi Wansui, the general of the Kaifu Prefecture, and Chen Wudi, the general of the Hulin Army, led his troops to cross the Yangtze River to attack Wuchang in Yingzhou.

Kaifu Shi Wanzai led 800 cavalry to break through the reinforcements of Chen, and then the Zhou army broke through Wuchang City on the third day, waved the division to the north to attack Yingzhou Prefecture to govern Xiakou, and Xiakou Chen army clashed more than ten battles, and the Chen army was defeated and retreated to defend the city.

Chen's Jiangbei army retreated south to defend Xiakou, and its Bazhou naval army advanced eastward, and fought a decisive battle with Zhou's Bazhou naval army at Zhengrongzhou, and Chen's army was frustrated by the fire attack and withdrew to Xiakou.

In late December, the Zhou and Chen armies fought a decisive battle on land and water at the Hezhou Governor's Mansion, and the Chen Guoshui army was strong, and the Zhou Fashang commanded the ship to take the lead in charging into battle, and at the cost of more than ten wounds and most of the first dead soldiers to die, they tore apart the Chen army's formation and then supplemented it with fire attack to start a melee.

The Zhou and Chen armies were tied, both defeated, and the Chen army narrowly won the land battle, and the Huangzhou army besieging Jiangzhou Huangkou crossed the river and returned to the north, and the Hezhou army retreated to Hezhou Prefecture to govern Ruyin.

At the same time, the combined forces of Liang and Zhou and the combined forces of Sui and Chen fought a series of battles under the city of Jiangling, and the Sui rebelled against Xinzhou, attacking all the prefectures and counties of the Xinzhou Governor's Office, and the Xinzhou army retreated, and the Chen army immediately retreated south, and the siege of Jiangling was lifted.

The Sui army besieging Shangwan confronted the Shannan Zhou army, and its Yuzhou Prefecture was besieged by the Bozhou army of the Zhou State on the east side, and the Luozhou army of the Sui State sent troops south with the intention of reinforcements, and the Qingzhou army of the Zhou State from the east fought fiercely in the Xingzhou area.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and for a time they restrained each other, and it was just when they were in a mess that Chen Guo made new progress north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River.

With the help of the Sui State, the Chen army built a powerful trebuchet to attack the city of the Zhou State with all its might, and used many relationships to say that the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion Duozhou rebelled from the Zhou State and returned to the embrace of the "old country", the Chen army gained a firm foothold in Jiangbei, and then struggled to resist the onslaught of the Xuzhou army in the south, and marched to Hezhou on the west side.

In January of the following year, Chen's army captured most of the prefectures and counties of the Hezhou Governor's Office, and the southern part of the Zhou State Mountain was completely cut off from the imperial court, and the Bozhou Army of the Zhou State then divided its troops to attack Guangzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of the Yuzhou Governor's Office of the Sui State, to open up the passage to the north and south of the Dabie Mountain.

。。。。。。

Jiankang, Vermilion Bird Hang, Yu Wenwen stood on the bridge, looking at the customs along the Qinhuai River with interest, the prosperous Jiankang City really lived up to its name, the houses on both sides of the Qinhuai River were lined up one after another, and the boats on the river were shuttling back and forth very lively.

After some twists and turns, the sea boat he took finally crossed the Heishui Ocean safely, successfully arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then traced the river and berthed near Jiankang.

Zhou Faming, who has been in good health for a long time and short in health, didn't dare to show up because there were too many acquaintances here, Tian Yilong and others were seasick and dizzy, and Shi Wanbao, Ma Wu and several other northerners vomited and collapsed, so Yuwenwen took Zheng Tong and a few guards out for a walk.

"The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties really lives up to its name!"

Yu Wenwen turned to look at Jiankang City not far away, and admired the majestic city, he had seen Chang'an, Luoyang, Ye and other famous cities, and now finally came to this prestigious capital of the Southern Dynasty.

"Lang Jun said cautiously, the Guanzhong accent is especially conspicuous here."

"It doesn't matter, for hundreds of years in the Southern Dynasties, there are not a few northerners who have crossed to the south, and there are not a few wealthy businessmen in Guanzhong and Shu who have come to Jiankang.

Zheng Tong didn't say much, he didn't agree with Yuwen Wen taking such a risk, but this person was in a good mood and was very interested, so he had to go around Jiankang and buy some gifts for the mansion to go back, and he couldn't say anything.

"To the east of Vermilion Bird Hang, it should be Wuyi Lane, go over there and take a walk to see how the Wang and Xie families behave."

"Lang Jun, that area is about where the big family lives, our faces are unfamiliar, and the accent is wrong, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"Really? Next time, then. ”

Yu Wenwen nodded, he didn't want to be a troublemaker, now that his identity is special, it is better not to be publicized, anyway, the future will be very long, maybe the next time he comes to Jiankang, he will be able to visit openly.

Jiankang is a big city, naturally it is divided into cities and Guo, Suzaku Hang is outside the city in Guo, and the west side of its southern end is the lively Xikou City, Yuwen Wen went to buy a big purchase by the way, and bought some small gifts for his wife and concubines and children at home.

After being away from home for more than half a year, and then there has been no news since October, now it is easy to arrive in Jiankang but it is already the New Year, and when I think of the absence of his husband and Aye in the mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve, how bleak and desolate the scene is.

So Yu Wenwen felt quite guilty in his heart, and wanted to bring some gifts back to apologize, anyway, he still had some money on hand, enough to sweep the streets.

Of course, the purpose is not only this, Yuwenwen wants to inquire about the current situation, not to mention other places, first of all, to inquire about the war in Shannan, Chen Jun seems to be making good progress in Huainan, and his countrymen's attention to current affairs has risen, and it is a good time to inquire.

Yu Wenwen turned into a tea shop, sat with Zheng Tong, and the guards sat next to him, called for tea, and listened to the tea guests talk about current affairs while drinking tea.

"I heard that the official army repelled the reinforcements of the Zhou State, and the capture of Hezhou Ruyin is just around the corner!"

"It's good now, the official army has recovered these places, Huainan is in hand, and the northern army doesn't want to coerce Jiankang anymore!"

"Not only that, if the official army really stands firm, then the contact between Zhou Guoshannan and its imperial court will be cut off, and there will be no time to rescue each other, and then the official army will recover the land of the six states in Jiangbei!"

"But isn't the Jiangbei Zhou army already in Kouyingzhou? I heard that Wuchang City has been taken? ”

"Nonsense, Wuchang is very good, the official army has now driven away the Zhou army, gathered more than 100,000 people to prepare to cross north to attack Jiangbei Bazhou, and want revenge!!"

"What about the one-legged bronze man in Bazhou? Isn't that amazing? ”

"Awesome? If it's really powerful, his mother-in-law won't give people harm! ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Yu Wenwen, who was drinking tea, choked and coughed when he heard this.

Mother-in-law won't give people harm? What the hell is going on! (To be continued.) )
