Zhong Chuan suddenly mentioned the marriage with Huainan, which surprised Xu Yanxiu, Jiangxi and Huainan were fighting to the death not long ago, and at this time they suddenly proposed marriage, which is too big. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Moreover, the daughter mentioned by Zhong Chuan was obtained by him in old age, and he was extremely spoiled, and he had said many times that he would let her choose a son-in-law in the future, but he didn't expect that he was now ready to use it for marriage.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xu Yanxiu, he thought about it carefully and said: "King, the marriage of the two families may be able to stabilize Huainan for the time being, but if you want to avoid being annexed in the future, I am afraid that it may not be useful, and the key is to see if I have enough strength in Jiangxi to confront Huainan!" Imagine if the king is in the position of Huainan, if he is facing a Jiangxi that does not have much strength, will he not do it because of the marriage of the two families? ”

Zhong Chuan was silent, in fact, he didn't know this truth, although Zhao Kuangyin's sentence "How can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch" has not yet appeared, but the meaning has long been known.

The reason why Zhong Chuan proposed the marriage was that the current situation was critical, so he had to do so.

You must know that in this battle, not to mention his two sons on the Jiangxi side, the two deputy generals assigned to them, Liu Chu and Peng Yanzhang, are both known as the most famous generals in the Jiangxi army, and the 60,000 troops led by them are also selected elite soldiers in the Jiangxi army; On the other hand, on the Huainan side, Chen Zhang, Chen Zhixin, these are all generals who are not ranked in Huainan, none of those real famous generals have been dispatched, and the soldiers they bring are only local state soldiers, and the elite have not been dispatched, just like this, they were still killed by others and defeated.

Imagine if he is not there in the future, Huainan will send Yang Wu or Li Shenfu, Tai Meng and other famous generals, with the elite troops that are enough to compete with the Liang army to attack, with the strength of Jiangxi, and the ability of the two sons, how can they be stopped?

Thinking of this, Zhong Chuanchang sighed: "The two sons of Gu are really too angry, they don't have enough ability but they don't know the current affairs, and if they don't do it in the future, it will bring the disaster of extinction to the Zhong family." ”

Xu Yanxiu hurriedly said: "The king is serious, with the benevolence of King Wu, even if he attacks and destroys my Jiangxi in the future, he will never do anything to destroy the family and the clan." ”

"Yang Xingmi won't, but can you guarantee that Yang Wu won't be in the future? Even if he doesn't destroy my Zhong family, if he wants to stay rich, is this possible? ”

Xu Yanxiu was silent, in the eyes of outsiders, Wu Wang Yang Xingmi was undoubtedly an extremely benevolent person; But his son Yang Wu, although not brutal, is not so benevolent compared to his father.

After the collapse of many feudal towns in history, their families also fell, and Zhong Chuan, as a generation of heroes, was still sober at this time and knew that he had to plan for the future.

"The king is worried, but his subordinates heard that the son of King Wu has been married, and the other party is still the daughter of Zhou Ben, the general of Huainan, and the king wants to marry, but he is afraid of ......" Xu Yanxiu mentioned another question, which made Zhong Chuan have to ponder.

After a while, Zhong Chuan sighed: "Lone is now old, and he can't let go of his body and grovel in front of Yang Xingmi, and the two sons are not worrying, so they can only grieve the little girl; The marriage of the two families is imperative, even if you can't be a regular wife, you can be a flat wife, or even ......"

Zhong Chuan didn't say the latter words explicitly, but Xu Yanxiu understood what he meant.

"Mr. Xu, go back to Guangling as Lone's envoy and convey Lone's friendship and the idea of marriage between the two families to King Wu!"

"Subordinates obey!" Xu Yanxiu bowed and said.

Guangling, in the study of the Jiedu Embassy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time Zhong Chuan suddenly sent an envoy to ask for peace, and also offered to marry, do you think Lone should agree?" On the main seat, Yang Xingmi asked with a smile.

Zhong Chuan was the earliest feudal town in the south, and when Yang Xingmi had just rebelled in Luzhou, Zhong Chuan had already been divided in Jiangxi.

Later, Sun Ru ravaged Jianghuai, Yang Xingmi was powerless to resist, and he also thought about giving up Luzhou, avoiding Sun Ru's edge, and instead attacking Hongzhou in a light and rapid way, but this idea was really a bit risky, at that time Zhong Chuan had been in Jiangxi for many years, and his rule was stable, and it was not easy to attack Hongzhou, and if he didn't do well, he would be wiped out.

At the critical moment, it was Yuan Xi who made a suggestion and crossed the river south to attack Xuanzhou, which led to today's foundation.

"Of course I promised him, when will I wait if I don't promise such a good thing?" Gao Mian said with a smile.

"Yes, now our main energy is going to be used to attack Qian Biao, and it is also a good idea to stabilize Zhong Chuan for the time being. Moreover, after all, Zhong Chuan is also the king of Nanping who was enshrined by the Son of Heaven, and his daughter does not disgrace the identity of the prince. Didn't Xu Yanxiu say it? Zhong Chuan's daughter is a flat wife, and the main wife is still a girl from the Zhou family. Yan Keqiu also nodded in agreement.

"The subordinates also think that the marriage is feasible, after all, Zhong Chuan has been in charge of Jiangxi for nearly 30 years, and there are many people, and we will break through Jiangxi in the future, with the identity of this marriage, we can also win over the old department of a minute and reduce the resistance of the locals." Yin Wengui said with a smile.

In fact, there is no objection to this, after all, it is just a marriage, which can stabilize Zhong Chuan for the time being, and it will be of great benefit to concentrate troops to eliminate Qian Biao. And once the marriage is made, it is a big deal to give the Zhong family a wealth after breaking through Jiangxi in the future, it is not a big deal, but it can be used to win over the military and people of Jiangxi, killing two birds with one stone.

As for Yang Wu's opinion, it was ignored by everyone at this time, first, this is for the development of Huainan, Yang Wu, as the future heir, must make a choice that is beneficial to Huainan; Second, everyone thinks that if Yang Wu can marry a beautiful girl, he will definitely only be happy and will not object.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yang Xingmi made a decision. At the same time, Yang Wu is now almost eighteen years old, and his marriage with Zhou Mengjie has also been put on the agenda by Yang Xingmi, as for the daughter with Zhong Chuan, the marriage can only be further postponed.

Under the city of Hangzhou.

Yang Wu didn't know that his marriage had been calculated, and now he was at a loss for Hangzhou Jiancheng.

Although the main task of Hangzhou's side is to contain the enemy forces in the city, Yang Wu will certainly not do nothing, at least to test the city defense.

A few days ago, the Huainan Army had built dozens of Suzhou guns, plus dozens of them transported from the rear, a total of nearly 100 guns, so Yang Wu ordered these Suzhou guns to be pushed under the city to prepare for a test siege.

As a result, the defenders in the city were not to be outdone, and used a hundred Suzhou cannons on the city wall to bombard, and for a time there was a whistling sound of rocks piercing through the clouds.

A day later, Yang Wu was forced to order a temporary stop, because the Suzhou artillery on the Huainan side was condescendingly bombarded by the enemy's Suzhou artillery, and more than 20 aircraft were lost in one afternoon, plus casualties, it was really a little unbearable.

Although the enemy also suffered many casualties, most of the enemy soldiers hid under the city walls, so the casualties were smaller.

The bombardment couldn't go on, so Yang Wu had to rest for a day. The next night, the remaining Suzhou artillery was transferred to the section of the city wall where the enemy did not deploy Suzhou artillery to launch a bombardment, which did catch the enemy by surprise at first, but when their Suzhou artillery was also quickly transferred over, the Huainan army could not bear the huge casualties and could only stop again.

There is no way, for Huainan, it is not yet time to work hard, and for Qian Biao, it is desperate at this time. So the same casualties were a little unbearable for Huainan, but Qian Biao was able to bear them.

Looking at the Suzhou cannons lined up on the city wall, Yang Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly, this kind of siege weapon that he himself "invented" was now used by Qian Biao to defend the city, and it had become a weapon that gave him a headache, but he didn't expect it at the beginning.

The siege of Hangzhou was temporarily stopped, and Yang Wu had to let the soldiers build a trench along the city of Hangzhou first, besiege the defenders in the city, and wait until Wang Maozhang swept the south before turning back to attack Hangzhou.

At the beginning of November, Wang Maozhang once again led a large army from Wuzhou, and the target was still Taizhou.

However, compared with the last time, this time, Wang Maozhang marched to Taizhou with great fanfare, but halfway through the general, Zhu Qianyou led 5,000 people to quietly return to Wuzhou, and lurked.

In mid-November, Shi Luyo, the assassin of Chuzhou, raised troops to attack Wuzhou, preparing to threaten Wang Maozhang's back road like last time, but Wang Maozhang was unmoved and continued to attack Taizhou. Soon, Lu You's soldiers came to the city of Wuzhou and were preparing to attack the city, but they were attacked by Zhu Qianyou and fled in defeat.

Then, Wang Maozhang withdrew his troops from Taizhou, joined forces with Zhu Qianyou, and attacked Chuzhou, Lu Yue did not dare to resist, and fled out of the city to Wenzhou to join his brother Lu Ji, and Wang Maozhang then captured Chuzhou.

After occupying Chuzhou, Wang Maozhang did not stop, but continued to march to Wenzhou.

At the end of November, Wenzhou Assassin Shi Lu Ji heard that the Huainan army was coming, and immediately sent the elite to Qingao to resist, Wang Maozhang could not hold out, but secretly sent Zhu Qianyou to copy the road to attack Wenzhou City directly.

As a result, the defenders of Wenzhou City were dispersed and easily occupied by Zhu Qianyou, and the brothers Lu You and Lu Ji were captured alive and sent to Guangling, where they were later beheaded in the city.

At this point, in just one month, the Lu brothers, who had been entrenched in Chuzhou for many years, were finally exterminated, and Huainan's territory expanded rapidly.

However, the continuation of the war to this time also exposed a problem, that is, the recent expansion of Huainan in the south has been too fast, and the newly acquired four prefectures of Muzhou, Wuzhou, Chuzhou, and Wenzhou all need to send troops to stay behind at this time, and the result is that the troops used for the attack are somewhat insufficient.

Yang Wu then ordered the offensive to be temporarily stopped, and waited for the arrival of the Sizhou Assassin appointed by Guangling, and established the local civil administration and garrison system.

At the beginning of December, Yang Wu handed over the battle of Hangzhou to Qin Pei, and he himself returned to Guangling.
