Shouchun, Chen Guo Imperial Palace.

Yuan Shu's face was a little haggard and he sat on the dragon chair and held a court meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Han army is attacking from both sides, it is difficult for our army to take care of both the beginning and the end, and Yan Yi is wreaking havoc in various places, I really can't swallow this breath, I plan to send a large army to exterminate Yan Baihu with all my might, who is willing to take command of the expedition?"

At this time, General Yang, the prime minister of Chen State, hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, no, now the biggest threat to our Chen State is still the Han Dynasty, once we draw a large army, I am afraid that the little emperor of the Han Dynasty will immediately attack Shouchun with all his might, and it will be even more difficult for us to take care of it at that time." It is better to send someone to appease Yan Baihu, this person is just a strong place, and he was bought by the fame and fortune of the little emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he attacked our country. Your Majesty might as well send someone to Yan Baihu to make peace, what the Han Dynasty can give, why can't we give it? Didn't he make a king of Huainan? Then we will crown Yan Baihu as the king of Wu, and the entire land of Jiangdong will belong to him, so that Yan Baihu will inevitably return to Jiangdong and let the Jiangdong plan of the little emperor of the Han Dynasty run aground. ”

General Yang's words immediately made the ministers feel very reasonable.

The crown prince Yuan Shikai also said: "Father, the prime minister's words are very reasonable, if we want to compete with the Han Dynasty, we must expand our territory, Jiangdong is a good place to achieve the foundation of eternity, as long as Yan Baihu listens to us, taking Jiangdong will be just around the corner!" ”

Yuan Shu listened and nodded, he also knew that he was now a Huainan, the territory was too small, if he wanted to compete with the Han Dynasty, he had to expand, and he also knew the situation in Jiangdong, it was a borderless land, if it could be taken by his Chen State, then there would be conditions for advancing and retreating freely.

"In this way, this plan is feasible, then send someone to Yan Baihu to make peace, who wants to be a special envoy?" Yuan Shu said.

At this time, Liu Bei, who had been unknown all along, came out: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to send an envoy to persuade that Yan Baihu to be used by my Great Chen State!" ”

"Xuande?"

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Liu Bei's defection has always made Yuan Shu suspicious, so Liu Bei has not been reused by him, and now in Da Chen State, he is just hanging up an idle position as a strategist.

Seeing this, Liu Bei said again: "Your Majesty, the minister has never had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions since he came to the Chen State, and today he is willing to persuade Yan Baihu to be used by the Great Chen State with his enthusiasm and sincerity to His Majesty, if he gets the land of Jiangdong, then His Majesty's great cause can be accomplished, and please ask Your Majesty for permission!" ”

Liu Bei's words were earnest, and almost everyone believed them.

General Yang said: "Your Majesty, Xuande Gong has both virtue and ability, and can be an envoy, and Your Majesty can send General Le to lead the troops to protect him." ”

After listening to General Yang's words, Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Xuande will take a trip, if this matter is successful, I will not treat you badly." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

......

The situation in Koto has already begun to change.

After Yan Baihu was transferred, Ming Jian personally conquered Jiangdong, and took Guo Jia as his military advisor, and the generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Le Jin, Li Tong, Li Dian, and Yu Ban went out with the army, and went straight to Qu'a, the capital of Yangzhou Prefecture, to turn around and enter Huiji.

The reason why so many generals followed, Ming Jian still hoped that his safety would be guaranteed, and the last time he crossed, he was too radical to be shot single-handedly, so this time Ming Jian took Dian Wei and Xu Chu to his side to protect his safety.

After arriving at Huiji, Taishou Wang Lang greeted him.

"The ministers will guard Wang Lang, meet Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang Shi Shi saluted. This Wang Lang is the one who was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang in the romance, but his ability is very good, and the current Huiji is governed very well by him.

The six counties of Jiangdong refer to Huiji, Danyang, Lujiang, Yuzhang, Luling and Wu County, among which Huiji and Danyang are close to Qu'a, the capital of Yangzhou Thorn Prefecture, and have close ties with the imperial court.

Ming Jian dismounted, helped Wang Lang up, and said: "Wang Taishou doesn't need to be polite, I heard that Wang Taishou will govern very well, and I am very satisfied." ”

Wang Lang hurriedly said: "This is a matter within the minister's responsibility, don't dare to take credit, Your Majesty, please enter the city." ”

Huiji City is a small and medium-sized city, the city is quite tall, and the population is relatively large.

After entering the city, Wang Lang introduced the situation of the entire Jiangdong.

"Now among the six counties of Jiangdong, the imperial court controls Huiji and Danyang, Yuan Shu rebels control Lujiang, Yuzhang and Luling counties are now controlled by the Shanyue barbarians, but Wu County has been occupied by the lower officials, Yan Baihu's old department has no opinion on this, they have protected Yan Baihu's family, and went to Huainan to follow Yan Baihu. The most important thing is the continuous chaos of Shanyue, these barbarians will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, burn, kill and loot, do everything, have few soldiers, and can only control Huiji County, which is really ashamed. ”

Shanyue not only has the descendants of the Yue people, but also some local heroes in Jiangdong are mixed in, occupying the mountain as the king and not obeying the king.

Among them, in addition to Yan Baihu, there are Zu Lang, Pan Lin, You Tu, Peng Qi, Fei Zhan, etc., who rely on the poor mountains and bad waters, and plunder the Han people whenever they have the opportunity, which is a very difficult hostile force.

When Ming Jian heard this, he said: "The disaster of Shanyue, first of all, is the fault of the imperial court, during the Taiping period, Shanyue can also live a good life, and can also coexist peacefully with our Han people." But with the war, Shanyue's life was also chaotic, they could not get supplies, commodity trading was also interrupted, and some ill-intentioned people instigated, so it caused today's disaster. Ladies and gentlemen, where do you think we should start? ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the first attack on the Shanyue rebels in Danyang County, Danyang's geographical location is very important, if it is not consolidated, I am afraid it will cause trouble to this expedition." Zulang of Jing County is a person with high prestige among the Shanyue people, and if he is subdued, most of the tribes in Shanyue will easily surrender. ”

Ming Jian nodded and said: "The words of the military advisor, I think it is true, and I order: order Li Dian and Li Tong to be the vanguard, and the soldiers will be sent to Jing County, if you meet Zulang, you need to capture him alive, don't hurt his life, and if you can kill the Shanyue people, you can't kill it." ”

Li Dian and Li Tong said in unison: "Obey!" ”

After the army marched into Danyang, the speed of the march was very fast, and everywhere it went, Shanyue was repulsed one after another, sneaking into the mountains, and did not dare to take another step beyond the Han army.

The main factor in this is the gap in weapons and equipment, the Han army's Pu knife and Mo knife are made of stainless steel, plus strong bows and crossbows, once the Shanyue tribes encounter the Han army, basically have no resistance.

However, the Shanyue tribe that infiltrated the mountains gave the Han army a headache, and fighting in the mountains was not the strength of the Han army.

In less than ten days, the Han army was killed under the city of Jing County.

"Listen, people in the city, where is Zulang? Get out of town and clash quickly! ”

Li Dian rode to the city alone and shouted loudly.

On the tower of the city, a strange man wearing bird feathers poked his head out and said: "This handsome is Zulang, you and other Han people, what are you doing in my Jing County?" ”

Li Dian shouted: "Zulang, the court is waiting for you a lot, why do you occupy the city and don't listen to the orders of the court?" ”

Zu Lang laughed and said: "The Han Dynasty is exhausted, and the princes from all walks of life are vying to be heroes, and my Shanyue is a descendant of the Great Yue Kingdom, and it is time to restore the glory of the ancestors of the past." This land in the east of the river was originally the land of our ancestors, and now it has returned to its original owner, why not? If not, we will wait for hundreds of tribes in Shanyue to send troops together to subvert the Han Dynasty, and it is not a fool's dream! Ben Shuai Guan Er and others also have some skills, it is better to return to Ben Shuai, after he becomes famous, it is not difficult to worship the marquis! ”

Li Dian said angrily: "I'm bah! Little Shanyue, he dared to say wildly, Zulang, if there is a kind of competition, he will come out to compete with this general! ”

Zu Lang also said angrily: "Hmph, you are so rude, Ben Shuai is so good to recruit you, but you don't know what to do, you wait, Ben Shuai will come out to take your dog's life!" ”

After a while, the gate of Jing County opened, and Zu Lang pounced out with a pair of hammers, followed by a group of Shanyue soldiers.
