Han Xuan led the army and Liu Du to fight against each other for a few days, and Liu Du received a report from Wen Ping that Chen Wu led the army to garrison Zhaoling, and he could not attack it for a long time.

Liu Du was stunned when he heard this, what? Chen Wu? When Han Xuan recruited him, he didn't even know. Liu Duzong immediately stepped forward and asked Han Xuandao: "I said why don't you worry about the loss of the rear at all, it turns out that Chen Wu is stationed." But is this Chen Wu so powerful, I heard Wen Ping say that he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and there are not many soldiers and horses, can he stop Wen Ping's army? ”

Han Xuan said, "Now I can tell you, he is from the same place as you and me!" Do you believe in his abilities? ”

Han Xuan didn't let Chen Wu go to war with the army before, one was because he was too young, and the soldiers were afraid that he would not obey him. The second is because it is good to hide, and when the hole cards are played at the critical moment. Liu Du still couldn't believe it: "Impossible." It's absolutely impossible, you must be lying to me. ”

Han Xuan said helplessly: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." That's the truth! I've asked you to form an alliance several times, but you've refused, isn't it good for everyone to huddle together to keep warm? ”

Liu Du gritted his teeth with hatred, he was facing two modern people, but he refused to form an alliance with Han Xuan and them. He believed that he could gain the world by virtue of his identity as a traverser, so why should he share it with others.

Liu Du waved his army towards Han Xuan's army, and both sides were killed and wounded. Han Xuan was anxious to be dragged by Liu Du, the battle of Guiyang may have failed, but he didn't expect Wei Yan to send someone to send good news, he had already used a trick to take Guiyang City.

Han Xuan stepped out of the battle and laughed at Liu Du: "Liu Du." Don't waste your efforts, Guiyang City has been occupied by Wei Yan, and it will be a matter of time before I take control of Guiyang! Hahaha~"

Liu Du glared at Han Xuan fiercely, wanting to fight Han Xuan to the death, and a young scribe in the rear stepped forward and said to Liu Du: "Lord, Guiyang has fallen into the hands of Han Xuan. Why don't you go back to the division to rest and recuperate, and then take Wuling. ”

Liu Du thought for a while, and said to the scribe: "What Gongyuan said is reasonable, and after ordering Xiaoguo to break off, the whole army will retreat. ”

That scribe is a strategist invited by Liu Duxin, Liao Lizi Gongyuan, if Han Xuan knows that he will be envious to death, his ability to govern the country is no worse than Zhuge Liang. When Han Xuan saw Liu Du withdraw to Lingling, he knew that he also wanted to preserve his strength, but he understood that there would eventually be a big battle between the two. Han Xuan didn't chase either, and led the army straight to Guiyang City.

Wei Yan welcomed Han Xuan's army into Guiyang City, and Han Xuan ordered the army to rest outside the city and not disturb the people. After Han Xuan heard how Wei Yan planned to plan Guiyang City, he said to Wei Yan with a smile: "Wen Chang is really a general, you are the first merit in this battle!" ”

Wei Yan was overjoyed and bowed: "Thanks to the Lord Huwei!" ”

Han Xuan saw Zhao Fan and asked, "Zhao Gongzi, you and I have met again." Your brother and I used to be colleagues, and now I want to help you sweep away the mountains in the county and resist Liu Du's aggression, why did the public stop you? ”

Zhao Fan told Han Xuan and Huang Zhong about his sister-in-law Xu marrying Wei Yan. Huang Zhong said to Wei Yan: "This is also a beautiful thing, why is Wen Chang like this? ”

Wei Yan said: "Zhao Fan is a brother with a certain person, if he marries his sister-in-law now, he will be scolded, and he will be scolded; His wife remarried, so that the big festival was lost, and the two also; Zhao Fan first fell, his heart was unpredictable, and three also. The lord's army has not arrived, and Yan'an dares to abolish the lord with a woman? ”

Han Xuan smiled and said to Wei Yan: Today's major event has been decided, what if you marry him? ”

Wei Yan was a little moved, and suddenly a voice sounded in his head, this must be the lord testing you! Can't say yes. Wei Yan swallowed his saliva and said: "There are many women in the world, but I am afraid that my reputation will not stand, so why not have a wife?" ”

Han Xuan smiled and patted Wei Yan's broad shoulder: "Wen Changzhen's husband too!" ”

Han Xuan released Zhao Fan, and on the surface he still made him the Taishou of Guiyang, but in fact, he had already sent his henchmen into the county government to serve in important positions, which emptied Zhao Fan's power.

Han Xuan rewarded Wei Yan again, and Wei Yan said to Han Xuan: "Zhao Fannai was forced to surrender, his mind is unpredictable, and the lord needs to be careful. ”

Han Xuan responded: "What Wen Chang said is very true. This man, like his brother, has quite a city. But now that the military and political power in Guiyang is in my hands, even if he has different intentions, he can't make any big mess. ”

When the counties of Guiyang heard that Han Xuan had entered Guiyang City, they were in an uproar. The three counties of Leiyang, Benxian County, and Hanning were the first to surrender because of their proximity to Chenxian County, the place of Guiyang Zhizhi, and Han Xuan only left a few men and horses to garrison.

Han Xuan's troops went straight to Daoping, Linwu and other counties, and the county magistrates were afraid that they would not be able to be defeated, so they surrendered one after another. Han Xuan led the army to help them exterminate the bandits, and Cao Xuan often dealt with the bandits with Han Xuan before, so he was more experienced. This time, he asked him to fight the bandits, Cao Xing smiled happily, the bandits' combat power was not high, and there was a lot of money stolen from the cottage, and the soldiers were happy to follow Cao Xing to fight the bandits.

Han Xuan asked the newly recruited soldiers to follow Cao Xing to exterminate the bandits, treating these bandits as experience babies, and letting the recruits brush up their experience and quickly become elite soldiers. For more than a month, the surrounding cottages were beaten by Cao Xing's troops and could not take care of themselves, and many cottages asked to surrender. Han Xuan agreed, but since he surrendered, he had to be sincere, and all the gold, silver and money in the cottage had to be handed over to Han Xuan.

When Han Xuan's army reached Zhenyang and Hanwei counties in the south, the county magistrates of the two counties refused to surrender, and Han Xuan was furious and prepared to lead his troops to attack. They encountered desperate resistance, it turned out that the two counties had taken refuge in Jiaozhou Shixie, and Han Xuan felt that his head was a little big.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhu Fu, the assassin of Jiaozhou, collected heavy taxes from all over the country, causing rebellion and being killed, and the order of the state and county was chaotic. At this time, the imperial court had experienced many years of chaos, and its influence on Jiaozhou was greatly weakened. Shixie, who was nominally loyal to the Han Dynasty's Jiaozhi Taishou, had in fact become a warlord who had seized the counties of Lingnan. Shi Xie and his three brothers led four counties, accounting for more than half of the territory of Lingnan. In the history of Lingnan and Vietnam, Shi Xie had a very high prestige and was not under Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue.

The Shixie family has deep roots, and Han Xuan decided that it was better not to tear his face with him easily. After all, Jingzhou Liu Biao was eyeing him from behind, he had long wanted to get involved in Jiaozhou, and if Han Xuan and Shixie went to war, then he could reap the benefits.

Moreover, Shixie's governance of Jiaozhou was enlightened, and the people enjoyed peace, and many Central Plains scholars also took refuge in Jiaozhou, which shows that they have won the hearts of the people. Even if he captures the two counties of Zhenyang and Hanwei, he will not get the support of the people, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Han Xuan made peace with the two counties and signed a non-aggression pact. After that, Han Xuan withdrew his army and returned to Chenxian County, vigorously building Guiyang City, and Han Xuan opened a recruitment hall in Guiyang, where all talented scholars can serve in the county. What Han Xuan lacks is talent, and he will have to digest it for a long time after obtaining Guiyang.

In Jiaozhi County, an old man listened to the information sent by the visitor, peeled off a longan and put it in his mouth, spit out the kernel, and then smiled slowly: "The young man can endure his temperament, not bad." Shiwu is doing a good job. ”

That old man is Shi Xie, Nanhai Taishou Shiwu is his younger brother, and it is this Shiwu who sent troops to help the magistrates of Zhenyang and Hanxu counties fight against Han Xuan.

The messenger asked, "Does Mr. Weiyan have anything to say to your lordship?" ”

Shi Xie thought for a moment and said, "You tell Shi Wu and ask him to send an envoy to contact Han Xuan to discuss the matter of fighting Liu Biao." You can give more treasures such as pearls, shellfish, glass, jade, tortoiseshell, rhino horn, ivory, as well as exotic fruits, bananas, coconuts, longans and the like. We can trade with it in Jiaozhou, and communicate with it. ”

After Zhu Fu's death, the Han court sent Zhang Jin as the new Jiaozhou assassin. However, Zhang Jin's behavior was absurd and uninhibited, and he was soon killed by the general Ou Jing. When Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao learned of this, he sent Deng Yi to take over Zhang Jin's position.

When Nanhai Taishou Shiwu learned of this, he sent an envoy to contact Han Xuan to confront Liu Biao according to what Shixie said. Shiwu also sent a lot of rare treasures such as glaze and ivory, Huang Wudie had never seen these things, so she peeled a banana and ate it with great interest. Han Xuan and Chen Wu couldn't help but feel funny, they had all eaten and seen these fruit treasures in later generations. Han Xuan decided to form an alliance with Shixie Shiwu and them, and the two families were in trade, and they could levy more business taxes for the development of business, so why not?
