Chapter 40: The world is in turmoil
said that he would act, and Fang Xuanling went to see Liu Qi that night.
What the result is, naturally there is no need to say much, how can the scheming Fang Xuanling not be able to convince the young Liu Qi.
On the night of the third day, Fang Xuanling and the others went out of the city before the curfew, in order to facilitate the exit from the city, most of the people in Fang Xuanling and his party stayed in the city, of course, for safety, they all left their original residences and hid separately.
……
"What did you say?"
Early in the morning, Cai Mao learned about Fang Xuanling and others going out of the city.
In front of Cai Mao stood a middle-aged man, who looked flustered and uneasy in his heart.
Faced with Cai Mao's questioning, the man did not dare to speak, because he knew that opening his mouth again would add fuel to the fire.
"What are you eating, didn't you let you watch them?"
Cai Mao was furious, he tried his best to keep Fang Xuanling and others under house arrest in Jingzhou, but he didn't want to be escaped by Fang Xuanling in a few days.
"The general is angry!"
The middle-aged man lowered his head, his body trembled unconsciously, as Cai Mao's cronies, he knew Cai Mao's methods.
"When we arrived, we saw only a dozen corpses, and these were the same people we left there."
The middle-aged man spoke again, this was his helpless defense.
"Damn, it must be Liu Qi who helped them out of the city!"
Cai Mao instantly thought of Fang Xuanling's visit to Liu Qi two days ago, and he didn't care about it at that time, because Fang Xuanling had visited Jingzhou's dignitaries and celebrities many times.
"General, what are we going to do now, are we going to hunt them down?"
The middle-aged man asked nervously.
"Needless to say, don't chase it quickly, if you can't stay alive, then kill someone, you want to see someone alive, and you want to see a corpse when you die!"
Cai Mao shouted angrily.
"No!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly left this place of right and wrong.
In fact, Cai Mao knew that it was too late to chase and kill now, but he couldn't swallow this breath.
……
"But I don't want to go out of the city this time, it's so simple!"
Cheng Yanjin laughed.
"This time it's really thanks to Liu Qi!"
Xin Wenli also smiled.
"It's not so much Liu Qi as Liu Biao, although Liu Qi is the eldest son, he can be this kind of master."
Saying that, Fang Xuanling raised the token in his hand and shook it, this is Liu Biao's token, you can enter and exit the city gate freely, and freely pass through the checkpoints along the way.
"I didn't expect that this Liu Biao would secretly help us leave, but why didn't he know how to support it, but wanted to use Liu Qi's hand."
Shin Wenli was a little puzzled.
"Naturally, because of the family, I knew from chatting with Liu Biao that Liu Biao's original intention was not to attack Danyang, he preferred to salute first and then soldier, but under the influence of the Jingzhou family, this salute first and then soldier directly became an attack on Danyang."
Fang Xuanling said calmly.
"The disaster of the family is endless!"
Cheng Yanjin sighed, Cheng Pu, Cheng Yanjin's father and son are not a family, and their hearts are all on the Sun family, and they don't have much feeling for the family.
"Although Emperor Ling is mediocre, his betrayal of officials and lords, and supporting eunuchs is not a kind of suppression strategy for the family, the world's families seem to have their own interests, but once the enemies are the same and the interests are suitable, then they are monolithic."
After a pause, Fang Xuanling continued to speak,
"This disaster in Danyang is actually the union of Yuan Shao's Yuan family and the various families in Jingzhou, and they used the jade seal to promote Liu Biao to attack my Danyang."
"It's a pity that they underestimate the bravery of my Danyang soldiers, and the wisdom of the lord and the two gentlemen."
Xin Wenli laughed.
The group of less than ten people rushed very fast, and with the help of Liu Biao's token, it was unimpeded, but in a few days, the group left the boundary of Jingzhou.
At the same time, Yuan Shao, who was entrenched in Nanyang, began a large-scale conscription, and at the same time proposed a plan to succeed the current Taishou of Runan County.
The Taishou of Runan County is the person of the Yuzhou Thorn History, so he naturally informed the Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling of this matter for the first time.
Kong Ling made this matter public as soon as possible, and denounced Yuan Shu, putting Yuan Shu in the same camp as Dong Zhuo.
After Kong Ling denounced Yuan, the major forces also spoke out, some supported Yuan Shu, thinking that no matter what, the holy decree had been made, and of course they were also those who had the same idea as Yuan Shu.
There are those who support it, there are those who oppose it, and these people think that if Yuan Shu comes according to the holy decree, it will be to bow down to Dong Zhuo.
In the face of interests, Mo said that there were many other people's accusations, even if the army was pressing, Yuan Shu would not give up easily.
So he didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and only two months later, he led a large army to attack Runan County.
Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling is lower among the princes, governing one side is okay, but the dominant side is not at all, although he controls the land of a state, millions of people, but he only has more than 50,000 troops under his command, and the combat effectiveness is ordinary.
In the face of the menacing Yuan Shu, Runan County couldn't stop it at all, and the entire Runan County was taken by Yuan Shu's army in just one month.
If it weren't for the fear that the battle line would be too long and stopped by his strategists and generals, Yuan Shu might have continued to attack other counties in Yuzhou.
With Yuan Shu's actions, the rest of the places also began to fight, the first to start was Xuzhou, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao was unwilling to be lonely in the name of a nothing, launched a violation of Xuzhou Tao Qian.
However, Zhang Chao underestimated Tao Qian's strength, although Tao Qian was famous for his benevolence, righteousness, and generosity, his ability was extremely good, and with the help of a group of talented people in Xuzhou, Xuzhou's strength was very strong.
Guangling County is only a county, but Xuzhou has several counties, even Guangling is only a part of Xuzhou, Zhang Chao was defeated, although he temporarily kept the foundation, but it was only a matter of time before he died.
There was also a war in Yanzhou, Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai launched an attack on the Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun, and Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi also had bad intentions.
In addition, there have been changes in Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou and other states, and the entire Han world has fallen into chaos.
……
"Lord, the world is in turmoil, and the lord should also be in trouble."
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice, and now half a year has passed since Fang Xuanling returned to Danyang.
In the past six months, Qunar vigorously developed his forces, and after obtaining 3,000 war horses under a deal with Gongsun Zhan, Sun Ce's cavalry team expanded to 6,000 cavalry.
The rest of the infantry army, the water army, the archers have also developed greatly, now Sun Ce has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, Danyang except for the north of the Moling area is in the hands of Liu Xuan's people, the rest are in the hands of Sun Ce, a total of more than 80,000 households under his rule, more than 100,000 young and strong, the source of soldiers is extremely sufficient.
"I don't know where do you think my first battle in Danyang should be?"
Looking at everyone, Sun Ce asked with a smile, the current situation is exactly what Sun Ce wants to see, and it is also what many people want to see.
"My lord, my subordinates think that Yan Baihu in Wucheng should be the primary target of our army."
It was not Fang Xuanling or Jia Xu who spoke, but Cheng Pu, one of Sun Jian's four generals.
"Wucheng's Yan Baihu is indeed a good choice!"
Sun Ce nodded in agreement.
"The old lord is the Marquis of Wucheng, and the lord is the successor, and he should inherit Wucheng, so the name of attacking Wucheng will be there."
Huang Gai followed.
Speaking of Wucheng Hou, in fact, there are some ridiculous things in between, Wucheng is a county seat, Wucheng Hou is a county marquis, how can he be a county marquis with Sun Jian's merits, and the general Wei Qing is only a county marquis.
Originally, Sun Jian was named a pavilion marquis by the imperial court, but Sun Jian's father, that is, Sun Ce's grandfather, spent more than half of the family property, but Sun Jian exchanged for a Wucheng marquis.
This also led to the fact that the name of Wucheng Hou was not as glorious as that of the Jiangdong Tiger.
"Yan Baihu has a deep relationship with that Liu Xuan, if we attack Yan Baihu, there will inevitably be a conflict with Liu Xuan, so we will attack Liu Xuan and take the name of Wu County."
The last to speak was Fang Xuanling, Han Dang wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Very proper!"
