From June to July of the second year of the elephant, several shocking things happened to the world.

At the end of last month, the Anzhou rebels captured Xiangyang in Xiangzhou Prefecture, and the Xiangzhou army collapsed and the marching marshal Wang Yi was defeated and killed, leaving only Cui Yanmu, the marching commander who also quelled the rebellion, to lead the Jingzhou army to confront the rebels across the river in Fancheng.

There was an uproar when the news came, the defeat of the Xiangzhou army in mid-June was shocking enough, and within a few days, the Xiangyang City, known as the Jiancheng, was actually breached! The rebellious Anzhou Army now covers the entire territory of the Anzhou and Huang Prefectures, as well as more than half of the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, which is really arrogant!

However, the bigger big news was still to come: in mid-July, the marching marshal Wei Xiaokuan led the army and the rebels led by Wei Chi Hui fought a decisive battle in Zhiye City, Xiangzhou Prefecture, and the imperial army was defeated!

On the day of the defeat, the news traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, and the exact news was known one after another: the imperial army was defeated and then won in the final reversal, and only a few hundred people of more than 100,000 troops escaped.

Marshal Wei Xiaokuan was wounded in the battle formation and died of his wounds a few days after withdrawing from the battlefield! Marshal Changshi Li Xun and his elite and state army of 30,000 troops were all annihilated, the marching commander Yu Wenxin was ambushed and killed, and the whereabouts of the marching commander Cui Hongdu and his younger brother Cui Hongguang are unknown.

The overseer Gao Gong is now gathering the defeated troops with Yu Wenshu, the head of the march, and has issued an urgent document requesting the imperial court to send reinforcements quickly, otherwise the situation will be irreparable.

However, the left prime minister and Yang Jian, the duke of Sui, who grasped the government, were already anxious, and the three-way governor's office rebelled, and now the Xiangzhou governor's office in the east and the Xiangzhou governor's office in the southeast defeated the counterinsurgency army, and the Yizhou governor's office in the west is going all out to the east.

The prefectures under the jurisdiction of the governor's office of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Haozhou were fighting against the assassins who supported Xiangzhou, and the governor's office of Yangzhou was restrained by the Chen State who invaded from the north, and Henan and Huainan were in chaos.

The Xiangzhou rebels attacking Chang'an can also be intercepted in Luoyang or Yubi City, and the Anzhou rebels can be blocked as long as they hold the Wuguan in the Qinling Mountains in the southeast of Chang'an, but if the rebels in Yizhou can't hold Yang Jian's position anymore, I'm afraid it will not be stable!

In case the tripartite governors besieged him from three directions, it is not that he can't resist it, but when the time comes, the families, gate lords and lords in Chang'an City who originally supported Yang Jian will fight back and kill him, Yang Shun!

Just when the imperial court was rumored about this, the day after the news of Yecheng's defeat came, the news from Anzhou reached Chang'an, and it immediately made people scratch their heads: Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, sent a messenger to the imperial court after capturing Xiangyang, saying that there seemed to be a misunderstanding between the two sides, and the governor of Xiangzhou and Huangzhou was empty.

The two sides fought and there was a river of blood, and your Anzhou governor first attacked Huangzhou and now occupied more than half of Xiangzhou's prefectures and counties, and then told the court that this seemed to be a misunderstanding, and the court wanted to appoint a new governor, are you sure it's not funny?

This seemingly ridiculous news has set off waves in Chang'an City, because people of insight can see that this is the governor of Anzhou throwing stones to ask for directions, showing weakness, it seems that Anzhou has reached the limit!

Yang Jian, the prime minister of Zuo, who was sitting on pins and needles, was overjoyed when he got the news!

The governor of Anzhou is subduing, Yu Wenliang wants to ask for a name from the imperial court, and he appoints his own people as the governor of Xiangzhou and Huangzhou, but he no longer seems to insist that Yang Jian is a rebellious minister and thief, and the two sides will calm down the fighting.

This is also what Yang Jian dreamed of, now after the victory of the Xiangzhou army, sooner or later it will go south to attack Luoyang, in case the Anzhou army goes north to conquer the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion and then goes north, it can cooperate with the Xiangzhou army to attack Luoyang in the north and south.

Not to mention whether Luoyang can hold it or not, the situation east of Luoyang will be eroded as soon as the two sides attack it like this, and the Xiangzhou army can not rush westward, as long as reinforcements are sent to take the Yuzhou Governor's Mansion, Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, and Maozhou Governor's Mansion, then the foundation of the rebel army will be stable.

If he can use this to stabilize Anzhou for a period of time, he can first calm down Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, and he will be able to free up his hands to deal with the counterattack of Wei Chi, the governor of Xiangzhou, and it is not too late to clean up Anzhou when the situation in Henan and Huainan is stable.

Yu Wenliang is really a mediocre person, just thinking about the one-third of an acre in front of him!

Yang Jian would not let go of this fleeting opportunity, and immediately consulted with his staff on the day he received the news, and on the second day, he sent an envoy to Anzhou in the southeast direction through Wuguan.

Without further ado, the governor of Anzhou sent an envoy to test the possibility of peace before the battle of Yecheng, and after a long delay, he knew that the Xiangzhou army would win and he was afraid that his mind would change, and the worst result was that Wei Chi sent someone to contact him and agreed to advance north and south, then it would be troublesome!

As long as you can stabilize the Anzhou Army, the conditions that are not too exaggerated will be recognized, and you will settle the account afterwards!

The envoy traveled 200 miles a day from all the way to Anzhou Prefecture, and wanted to stabilize Yuwenliang before Xiangzhou Wei Chijiong......

An Lu, the residence of the governor of Anju.

Yu Wenliang is holding a family banquet, and Yu Wenming and his wife, their young son, and Yu Wenwen and his wife are sitting at the big table for dinner.

At the beginning of May, Yu Wenming, Yu Wenwen and his family came to Anlu and had a family banquet, followed by a series of battles, first raiding Huangzhou, and then facing the imperial army, Yu Wenming led an army to defend Suizhou Prefecture and Suicheng, and Yu Wenwen gnawed a few hard bones with his father Yu Wenliang.

Now the father and son have finally survived a wave of disasters and can enjoy a moment of family warmth, everyone is a man who goes on the expedition and naturally wants what he wants after returning home from the outside moon, Yu Wenliang is old and his mind is also light, and the concubine in the house accompanies him After two nights, the anger is gone, but Yu Wenming, Yu Wenwen is upright, and the wife of Fang Gang's family is as beautiful as a flower and guards the empty house alone, and this dry firewood burning is not something that can be extinguished in a day or two.

As soon as the sons entered the door with their daughters, the old man saw that Yu Wenming and his wife, Yu Wenwen and his wife were all gloomy in their eyes and their steps were vain, but the difference was that the two brothers were in a trance and couldn't straighten their waists, while the two daughters-in-law were ruddy and their eyebrows were affectionate.

That's right, work hard to spread the branches of the Yuwen family, especially Erlang!

Full of wine and food, Mrs. Yu Wenming Li took her young son and Mrs. Yu Wenwen Wei Chi to chat about family affairs in the separate hall, while Yu Wenliang father and son moved to the back hall, where the chief steward Shi Du Shijun and a few other henchmen had been waiting for a long time.

Without further ado, we got straight to the point, and everyone talked about the current situation.

Sending an envoy to surrender to the imperial court was well thought out, because the imperial court only had tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops in Cui Yanmu's hands to resist the Anzhou army going north, and if it was defeated, it would be powerless to prevent Anzhou from capturing the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, so the imperial court might not dare to take risks.

And the Anzhou army has indeed reached the limit, the newly occupied city must be defended, the lost troops must be replenished, the captured soldiers must be digested, and the Nanchen army that entered Huangzhou must be driven away, and the Liang State must be guarded against chaos.

Now it is a set of administrative teams of the Anzhou Governor's Office to oversee the affairs of the Anzhou, Huang, and Xiang Prefectures, and there is a shortage of manpower, and the loyalty of the surrendered officials and generals is debatable, and the newly promoted officials and generals need time to adapt.

The army had been fighting for nearly two months, and the soldiers who had been urgently recruited to participate in the war needed to rest and go home to reunite with their families, all of which took time.

As for whether Xiangzhou and Yizhou win or lose, they can't care so much, and they still need to be hard to strike iron, as long as Anzhou eases up this time, they can fight for another 300 rounds!

A few days ago, I received news that the imperial court attaches great importance to the goodwill of Anzhou and has sent an envoy south to solve the "misunderstanding" between the two sides.

In order to prevent the envoy from being killed by the 'unknown masses' on the way, the imperial court specially sent people to contact Anzhou in advance to contact relevant matters, and the Jingzhou military association sent people to escort the envoy from Fancheng to Xiangyang to be taken over by the Anzhou army.

"The envoy sent by Yang Jian this time is the Prime Minister's Mansion Changshi and Peiguo Gong Zheng Yi." Yu Wenliang said the news he received today, "The deputy envoy is the emperor in the internal history. ”

Zheng Yi, the confidant of the former Emperor Yu Wenyun, who was greedy for money, was also the 'old friend' of Yang Jian, the prime minister of the left; Huang Fuji, who was full of scriptures and books, was quite talented and learned, and was the main adviser of the left prime minister Yang Jian, and was also the grandson of Wei Xiaokuan, the prince of Yunguo, and it goes without saying that he was loyal to Yang Jian.

Among these two people, Zheng Yi said that Huangfu's achievements are not easy to deal with.

After analyzing it, everyone agreed to the opinion: Zheng Yi is responsible for negotiating with Anzhou to negotiate conditions, and the deputy envoy Huangfu Ji is afraid that he will take the opportunity to spy on the internal situation of Anzhou and have to be guarded.

Anyway, there are two main goals of the side: the first is to let the imperial court appoint the governors of Xiangzhou and Huangzhou according to the list on the Anzhou side, which is the most practical. The second is to wash away the name of the 'rebels' of the Anzhou Army, and the two sides will strike their troops, and the division of forces will be subject to the actual scope of control.

As for why the two sides are fighting, then hehe, it's nothing more than "temporary workers" who are making trouble from it, and "everyone doesn't want this kind of thing to happen".

Anyway, both sides have ghosts in their hearts, and they will turn their faces in a few months or a year or two later, just because they have their own needs.

Then we will have another fight!

The basic plate is set, and the next thing is to fight for the benefits, the first is Fancheng opposite Xiangyang, Changzhou and Caizhou in the west of Suizhou, and Fuzhou in the south of Chuzhou.

These places were originally under the rule of the Xiangzhou Governor's Office, but now Fancheng, Changzhou, and Caizhou are under the control of the Jingzhou Army led by Cui Yanmu, and Fuzhou has defected to the Jiangling Governor's Mansion on the west side.

Although the probability of winning it is very low, but no matter what, you have to take a bite, and there is also the problem of Liang Guo's position, if Liang Guo's foot-picking men are restless, and even the defenders of Yingzhou in the east and Xiangyang in the north can't sleep well at night, they must also talk about it.

Because of the successive victories, the mood of the henchmen has risen to a higher level, and they feel that Anzhou has a head, and their enthusiasm has risen greatly, and they have set a negotiation strategy after a heated discussion with the chief manager Yu Wenliang and his son.

Seeing that all the work was implemented, Yu Wenwen suddenly said: "Even if this negotiation is successful, presumably Yang Jian will not easily let Anzhou stop." ”

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, and they would not let the other party eat comfortably.

"So if they propose to ask for a nominal messenger, but the actual proton enters Chang'an, what can they do?"

As soon as these words came out, the people present were silent, for Du Shijun and others, this question was not unexpected, but the topic was too sensitive so they did not take the initiative to raise it, and Yu Wenliang deliberately avoided this question.

Both the imperial court and Anzhou are ghostly, but since Anzhou wants to be famous, it means that it has to show sincerity more or less, and the most sincere thing in this era is proton.

Sooner or later, the two sides will turn their faces, so the person who stayed in Chang'an as a hostage is basically a fierce and auspicious person who has never returned.

So the question is, who will be the eldest son of Yu Wenliang Yu Wenming and the second son Yu Wenwen to be this proton?

"If it really comes then, the child wishes," Yu Wenming was the first to speak.

"No one has to go!" Yu Wenliang interrupted the eldest son's words with a loud shout, "Yang Jian don't think about it!" ”
