"How can there be a conflict?" King Huainan quickly calmed down and asked.

"This matter will not be known until detailed information is sent," King Chu frowned, revealing a solemn expression, "However, it is likely that the Xuanjia Army mistook our people for Xiongnu spies, and now there are still many scattered Xiongnu soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, and it is normal to make a mistake." ”

As soon as they said this, the hearts of the two clans couldn't help but recall the surprise they had when they heard the news before.

That's the Huns!

In the past, the Xiongnu State could be described as a big trouble for the Han Dynasty, that is, when the whole world was not considered to be in flames, the Xiongnu State was extraordinarily arrogant, independent of the outside world, and self-contained.

After a few years, the Xiongnu still existed, but there were signs of chaos in their new Han world.

As a result, it was such a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and suddenly it collapsed, so fast and thorough, that when the two clans heard it for the first time, they almost thought it was fake news, which made people confirm it repeatedly.

But when the confirmed information came back, it was said that even the Xiongnu prince had been caught, and the dragon body of the former emperor had been brought back by the Youzhou soldiers.

This news made the two kings shocked, but also happy and afraid, and their hearts were mixed, and it was really difficult to say.

However, these complicated thoughts, after repeated precipitation, eventually lost to the instinct of politicians vying for power, which made them start to think about the Xuanjia Army again.

But in the end, he was still afraid of the combat strength of the Xuanjia army, so he planned to take advantage of it first, so he would take advantage of the collapse of the Xiongnu State to send an army to the north, wanting to get back the land occupied by the Xiongnu in Sizhou first, and then wait for the opportunity to occupy one or two counties in the south of Bingzhou. While replenishing strength, serve as an outpost.

If they can, they also want to negotiate with Chen Zhi to see if they can get the other party to give up the annexed state, after all, nominally, Chen Zhi's jurisdiction is Youzhou.

However, considering that Chen Zhi also had the title of General of the Northern Expedition, the second king was patient for the time being, and wanted to come step by step, but now after getting the news, King Huainan was a little hesitant at first.

"If even one or two scouts will be misunderstood, then wouldn't it be bad if we sent an army, in case there is also a misunderstanding?"

King Huainan's words made King Chu have to think about it, and finally he shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry so much, maybe this is just a misunderstanding, after all, our communication with Youzhou has been cut off for a while, and there will be such a situation on both sides, it is not an accident, but the soldiers and horses we sent are clearly under the banner of the imperial court, and the Youzhou Xuanjia Army should not know each other." ”

"I'm afraid of ......" King Huainan still showed hesitation, he said a word, but stopped halfway, but the worry in the words, King Chu was very clear.

"No," King Chu still shook his head, but his tone was a little firmer, as if to increase his persuasiveness, but more like to convince himself, "General Zhengbei's sudden dispatch of troops is to avenge the emperor, indicating that he is interested in the imperial court, as long as we are still the imperial court, General Zhengbei will not disobey after all." ”

Hearing this, King Huainan had no choice but to nod.

At this time, the king of Chu took the book from a subordinate who had just come over, and frowned: "The most worrying thing now is still Jiang Zuo's side." ”

"What's wrong again?" King Huainan looked at it and knew that it was the latest news about Jiang Zuo.

The king of Chu said: "I asked Yu Liang to envoy Jiang Zuo before, but there has been no news, do you remember." ”

King Huainan nodded and said: "Yes, this matter is still recommended by him, haven't you and I talked about it before, when it was the war in the Central Plains, it was full of cars and horses." ”

"Where is it full of carriages and horses," King Chu showed a trace of anger, "You and I have been tricked by this person, and I thought that people had not yet arrived in Jiangzuo, but now I know that this is an official who has become Jiangzuo!" It's still the imperial history, it's really calculating, so majestic! ”

When King Huainan heard this, he also showed anger: "Yu Liang dares to do this? How unreasonable! ”

"Not only that," the King of Chu sneered, "It seems that this person is very optimistic about us and the orthodox court, but went to the king of Langya in the left of the river, but they don't know, when they know that the Xiongnu have collapsed, Liu Cong and Liu Cang have all been captured, I don't know what they think." ”

"Not bad!" King Huainan also cheered up, "Yu Liang and others can guess a thing or two, it is nothing more than that they feel that the situation in the north is already difficult to control, and the power of Shile and the Xiongnu is expanding rapidly, and it is difficult for us to perform, but they did not expect that the Xuanjia Army has suddenly emerged, which makes the situation very different!" ”

King Chu nodded, and then said coldly: "When the news reaches Jiangzuo, it will be time for this group of people to behave, maybe the people who refuse to come over to worship the new monarch this time will rush over again." ”

Because of the distance, the two kings in Guanzhong can quickly get the news of the merger, but it will take some time for these news to reach Jiangzuo and Jiangnan.

However, with the offensive of the Xuanjia army, the forces in the world have already gathered their eyes, even if it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, this part of the Jiangzuo family still intends to speed up the transmission of news about the annexation of the state.

Therefore, on the tenth day after the fall of Jinyang, the latest news about Bingzhou and the north reached Jiangzuo one after another.

Yangzhou, Danyang County, Langya Palace.

Liu Gai, who already has the outline and appearance of a young man, is sitting on the top, and below him, a group of people are gathering.

There are some people in it who are still old acquaintances, such as the original Xuzhou assassin Zhang Chu, and Yu Liang, who recently sent Jiang Zuo to supervise the stay.

In addition, there are several figures, which are conducive to the front, these people are the heads of the Jiangzuowang clan, and they are the patriarchs or talkers of several major surnames such as Lu, Zhou, Zhang, Zhu, and Gu.

However, in front of him, there were several people, the leader of whom was dressed in military uniforms and carrying long swords, and his face was arrogant.

Of the entire mansion, this man was the only one with a sword.

At this moment, this person was frowning and speaking: "This matter is really a bit strange, the national strength of the Xiongnu is not weak, and its soldiers and horses are also strong in the north, how can it be that the capital is occupied so quickly?" ”

"General Wang, you still have to be cautious in your words," suddenly a man with a long figure spoke, this person has a long beard, looks quite fairy, and is the top person of the Gu clan in Wudi, named Gu Rong, "The Xiongnu puppet country, stealing the territory of the Han Dynasty and occupying Jinyang, is not their capital." ”

"I, Wang Dun, speak and do things, it has always been like this," the person known as General Wang turned his head and glanced at it, and said coldly, "After Bingzhou was occupied by the Xiongnu, it has not been recovered for several years, and Jinyang is even more operated by it, why is it not the capital?" What's the point of saying these hypocritical words? ”
