When the news of King Qi's death came, the government and the opposition were shocked.

Although on the surface, everyone condemned and condemned Huan Xuan in unison, but in their hearts they were shocked by his ruthless methods.

People with a slightly active mind began to secretly plot, wondering if they were looking for an opportunity to join Nanjun Gong.

After raising the army, although Huan Xuan's progress was slow and delayed the fighter, his opponent Sima Yuanxian was not very clever.

This war is not about who is smarter, but more stupid than who is more stupid.

As a result, Huan Xuan still went all the way to the military town of Gu Yi (now Dangtu) almost unimpeded.

To say that the Sima royal family is not all wine bags and rice bags, there are many resolute and resolute people among them, such as Sima Shangzhi, the king of Qiao.

When the others were frightened by Huan Xuan's soldiers, he quickly mobilized his troops and horses to prepare to meet the rebels.

At present, King Qian is leading the post of assassination of Yuzhou and is sitting in Liyang.

The so-called Yuzhou is the overseas Chinese state of the Southern Dynasties, and the jurisdiction is roughly in the area of Huaixi today, and the governance office has changed repeatedly, mostly in Guyu and Liyang.

Liyang (now He County) and Gu Yi are in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, which is an important town in the upper reaches of Beijing and a barrier on the western line.

Now that Huan Xuan has conquered the important town of Guyi, the next target must be Liyang.

Liyang is the Yangtze River on the left, the right is the Zhaoguan, the Liangshan is in the east, and the Haochu is in the north.

It is the guarantee of "Huainan's domain" and "Jiangbiao", and has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

Knowing that Huan Xuan raised troops to attack, Sima Shang, the king of Chen, ordered his brother Sima Huizhi to guard Liyang, and Wudu Taishou Yang Qiu to guard the Hengjiang defense line (in the south of Liyang, now the north bank of the Yangtze River in the southeast of Hexian County, Anhui).

He himself commanded 9,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to Pushang, preparing to fight Huan Xuan head-on.

To say that King Qian himself is not a mediocre person, and he has elite soldiers and strong generals, even if he can't kill Huan Xuan, he will not be defeated.

But nothing can stop a traitor from colluding with foreign enemies, if this traitor still occupies a vital place, it can really kill people.

The hidden danger within King Qian was on Yang Qiu, the Taishou of Wudu, and at this time, Yang Qiu was already frightened by the prestige of Huan Xuan's killing of King Qi.

Facing Huan Xuan, who was overwhelmed, Yang Qiu kept beating the drum in his heart, and always felt that the court was precarious.

When he received the order of the king, Yang Qiu couldn't help pouting, and said secretly: "The building will fall, and it is not a king who can save it." ”

"Now that the court is weak, who can stop the Nanjun Gongbing?"

"The old man is just an insignificant guard, is it necessary to make sacrifices?"

So, Yang Qiu came to Hengjiang with very complicated feelings.

It didn't take long for Huan Xuan to lead the Jingzhou army to appear in front of Yang Qiu.

Looking at the warships and flags on the river, Yang Qiu completely lost the courage to fight.

Originally, Huan Xuan planned to let Huangfufu, Feng Gai, Wu Fuzhi and other generals lead troops to attack Yang Qiu, but Changshi Bian Fanzhi raised a different opinion.

As Huan Xuan's chief strategist, Bian Fanzhi has always been in charge of intelligence, and he has already figured out Yang Qiu's temperament through investigation.

He believed that Yang Qiu was by no means a foolish and loyal to the Jin family, and he could completely recruit the other party through inducement, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

So, Bian Fanzhi offered Huan Xuan a plan to surrender.

"It is human nature to avoid harm and seek profit, and Yang Qiu has a greedy temperament and is not a loyal and righteous gentleman."

"Now that the lord is under heavy military pressure, he definitely doesn't want the jade to be burned."

"The subordinates are willing to go to the enemy camp with their incorruptible tongues and persuade Yang Qiu to surrender."

Huan Xuan frowned, feeling that it was too risky to let Bian Fanzhi enter the city to persuade him to surrender.

If Yang Qiu turned his face and denied that he would detain Changshi, wouldn't he lose a lot?

So, Huan Xuan shook his head and vetoed: "This plan is very dangerous and cannot be implemented rashly. ”

But Fan Zhi was very sure of this, and smiled indifferently: "As the saying goes: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger?!" ”

"Although it is risky to enter the city to persuade Yang Qiu, the minister is completely sure that he will surrender Yang Qiu."

"Has Changshi forgotten King Qi? That's a lesson from the past. ”

Huan Xuan kindly reminded Bian Fanzhi, which meant that King Qi had just been beheaded by him because of his envoy, so why should Changshi repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Eh, my lord's words are wrong!"

"This is called this time and that time, how can Yang Qiu compare with the lord?"

After Bian Fanzhi patted Huan Xuan's ass without a trace, he insisted: "The minister entered the city to persuade him to surrender, not just to save our army from a fight. ”

"The minister also wants to prove to the outside world through this move that the lord's army is a righteous act, and it should be welcomed and supported by all places."

Huan Xuan was silent, feeling that what Bian Fanzhi said was not unreasonable, but he was really worried about Bian Fanzhi's safety.

It can be said that Bian Fanzhi is his right-hand man, and it is with his help that Huan Xuan has come to this day step by step.

In case Bian Fanzhi is broken, even if Yang Qiu is dismantled afterwards, he may not be able to make up for the losses caused by this.

At this time, Bian Fanzhi smiled and said sincerely: "The lord's good intentions, I have received my humble heart." ”

"But now is a great opportunity to persuade Yang Qiu to surrender, and we must not miss it."

"Although our army is now imposing, it has not encountered any obstacles along the way."

"Today's battle can be said to be the first battle since the uprising of our army, and it cannot be lost in any case, and it must be used to deter the Jiankang side with a complete victory."

"And Yang Qiu is the key to our army's victory, and the minister must go this way."

At that moment, Bian Fanzhi ignored Huan Xuan's repeated obstructions, and insisted on riding alone in front of Yang Qiuying.

Originally, Yang Qiu had been intimidated by the might of the Jingzhou army, but now after Bian Fan's encouragement, he did not hesitate to switch to Huan Xuan.

As a result, Bian Fanzhi successfully subdued Yang Qiu without a single knife or shot.

In the end, Bian Fanzhi asked Yang Qiu to stay in the Yuzhou army camp for the time being.

When the two armies fought in the future, Yang Qiu turned against him again to catch the king off guard.

Yang Qiu was anxious to make meritorious service to curry favor with Huan Xuan, so that he could get a piece of the pie when he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future, so he agreed to come down.

When Huan Xuan got the news of Yang Qiu's surrender, he was immediately overjoyed, and even praised Fan's talent.

He decided to strike while the iron was hot, defeat Sima Shangzhi as soon as possible, and soldiers came to Jiankang.

At the same time, the king who was coming with great ambition did not know that his generals had already colluded with the enemy.

Huan Xuan asked him to fight, but he just glanced at the battle book, and without even hesitating, he agreed.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun rose over the river, a decisive battle related to the future and fate of the Jin family began.

Knock knock! As the war drums sounded, the soldiers on both sides began to set up to meet the enemy.

After arranging the formation, the two sides did not talk to each other, and immediately started fighting.

Suddenly, the two armies were inseparable, and the sky was dark.

Suddenly, Yang Qiu led his subordinates to turn against him, which caught Sima Shangzhi by surprise, and the army immediately collapsed.

Looking at the defeated and fleeing army, Sima Shangzhi wanted to cry without tears, even if he killed several people, he couldn't stop the rout.

As a last resort, Sima Shangzhi had no choice but to flee all the way with the torrent of defeated soldiers.

While running, he didn't forget to scold Yang Qiu for betraying his lord for glory.

Originally, King Qian wanted to escape to Liyang, and relied on the strong city to hold on.

Unexpectedly, he received news halfway that Liyang had been lost.

It turned out that when Sima Shangzhi, the king of Qiao, fought a decisive battle with Huan Xuan's main force, Huan Xuan had secretly sent the general Feng Cai to lead the division to attack Liyang.

The guard general Sima Hui was unprepared, was defeated by Feng Cai, and now he has abandoned the city and fled.

At this point, Sima Shangzhi was completely desperate, and he also knew that the general trend of the imperial court had gone, so he had to temporarily hide in Tuzhong.

No one thought that King Chen, who had high hopes from the imperial court and Sima Yuanxian, would be defeated so inexplicably.

After the news came, the government and the opposition were terrified, and Sima Daozi's father and son were even more panicked.

When Jiankang was in crisis, Liu Yu led tens of thousands of elites and entrenched in the southeast.

Of course, the reason given by Liu Yu is also very legitimate: beware of the rebels of the Heavenly Master Dao.

However, Liu Yu had already made up his mind in his heart, ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In his opinion, whether it is Huan Xuan or Sima Daozi, father and son, they are all raccoon dogs, and there is no good thing.

If you want Jiangdong to rise again, if you want the people to live a good life.

You have to kill Huan Xuan and Sima Daozi, who are all wealthy families, royals and nobles who are pressing on the people.

No matter how fierce the battle between the Jingzhou army and the Yuzhou army is, in his eyes, it is a dog eating a dog.

Therefore, even though the imperial court repeatedly ordered him to go north to King Qin, Liu Yu always adhered to Huiji and was unmoved.

However, the other towns in Jiangdong are not as unaccustomed to the imperial court as Liu Yu, and there are many people loyal to the Jin family.

Among them, Yizhou Thorn Shi Mao Xuan is one of them, as soon as he received the news of Huan Xuan's rebellion, he immediately reorganized his soldiers and horses, and prepared to send troops to King Qin.

But Chengdu was too far away from Jiangling, so Mao Xuan had no choice but to point the finger at Shi Huanxi, the assassin of Liangzhou.

All of a sudden, the situation in Yiliang changed abruptly, and a big war was about to break out.
