According to the common theory, Chen Shushen's request is not excessive, after all, Xiao Rushui's identity is not clear, and he can easily send troops to Jiangbei based on his words alone, what if he is ambushed by the Sui army?

However, because Zhou Luoyu was expelled from the Jiankang unified army by President Jiang under the pretext of being expelled by President Jiang, he was afraid that his previous chapter would be detained by President Jiang, Shi Wenqing and others again without authorization, and could not be submitted to the emperor, so he ignored Chen Shushen's resolute opposition and insisted on sending troops to respond to the Later Liang clan and the people to abandon Sui and join Chen, so that more than 5,000 people in Southern Chen were made and spies were driven out by Yang's father and son.

Chen Shushen was only a half-old child, and he was in awe of Zhou Luoyu from the bottom of his heart, and seeing that Zhou Luoyu ignored his own dissuasion, he took the initiative to make concessions to Zhou Luoyu, and promised that the Nanchen garrison stationed in the Jiujiang area would take the initiative to cross the river with no more than 3,000 sailors and corresponding warships to meet Xiao Yan and others.

Zhou Luoyu took into account that Chen Shushen, the king of Shiling, was after all the chief general of the Nanchen army nominally stationed in the Jiujiang area, and he was a half-brother with the current emperor, and he knew very well in his heart that accepting a large number of Later Liang clans to cross the river to vote violated the agreement reached between the two dynasties of Nanchen and Yang Sui in recent years that they would not accept each other's surrenders, and they were bound to leave a handle to Yang Sui.

But this time it was miserable, Xiao Rushui. He originally planned that Zhou Luoyu could send troops and ships to Jiangbei to meet Xiao Yan and lead people to defect to Nan Chen, but he never expected that Zhou Luoyu agreed to the restrictions put forward by Chen Shushen, and could only send 3,000 sailors to cross the river to meet Xiao Yan and others to come south.

After persuading Zhou Luoyu to send an empty boat across the river to meet him, the Liang clan and the people could not cross the river, and in desperation, Xiao Rushui had to cross the river again to see Xiao Yan to explain to him the latest unfavorable situation.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan's attitude towards abandoning Sui and surrendering to Chen was very firm, and after informing Xiao Rushui that after Liang destroyed the country, perhaps considering that the Sui Dynasty had not yet officially issued an edict to kill Chen, and Yang Jun, the king of Qin, had not yet collected the boats from the residents and merchants along the river and issued an order to close the river, so they could solve the problem of the boats needed to cross the river by themselves.

In addition, Xiao Yan also told Xiao Rushui that there was definite news that Yang Jun, the king of Qin, would soon go to the state capitals under Xingtai in Shannan Road to inspect the city, and that only Cui Hongdu, the governor of Jiangling, would be left in Jiangling City to lead the army.

Xiao Rushui felt Xiao Yan's sincerity in abandoning Sui and Chen, and at the same time, in order to ensure that Xiao Yan led tens of thousands of Later Liang clans and people to successfully surrender to Chen in one fell swoop, he took the initiative to propose to Xiao Yan that he try to find out the detailed route of Yang Jun's trip and inspection, and he would go to assassinate Yang Jun at the same time as Xiao Yan led people to cross the river to surrender to Chen, so as to divert the attention of the Sui army and cooperate with everyone to cross the river and surrender to Chen.

Xiao Yan only said that Xiao Rushui himself was also born in the Later Liang clan, and he tried his best to help himself in order to take care of the dignity of his own clan and clan, who knew that the reason why Xiao Rushui was willing to spare no effort to promote this matter was that he had other hardships that he could not explain to Xiao Yan.

Three days later, Xiao Yan sent someone to find out the specific date and detailed itinerary of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, who went out to inspect, and Xiao Rushui agreed with Xiao Yan that as soon as Yang Jun left Jiangling, he could start to mobilize the Later Liang clan and the people to cross the river to surrender to Chen, and sent someone to cross the river to report this information to Zhou Luoyu, asking him to send troops across the river in time to meet Xiao Yan.

On the Jiazi day of March in the spring of the seventh year of the Great Sui Dynasty, on the same day of the sixth year of the Gongjianxing of the Great Wall of Nanchen, Xiao Yan, the uncle of the Later Liang Dynasty (after the destruction of the Later Liang Dynasty, he was named the King of Anping of the Sui Dynasty) Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan led the Later Liang clan and their subordinates and tenants, and at the same time, there were also a part of the Later Liang people who were encouraged by them, totaling more than 100,000 people, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Sui Dynasty Shannan Road Xingtai Shangshuling and the Qin King Yang Jun to go to the state capitals under their rule, and took hundreds of large and small boats from the river nearly 100 miles outside Jiangling City to start crossing the river to join Chen.

According to the prior agreement, Zhou Luoyu, the commander of Jiujiang County and the leading general of Nanchen Jiujiang, led 3,000 sailors across the river to meet Xiao Yan, Che Chen and others who abandoned Sui and surrendered to Chen.

On the vast river, the eyes were full of boats full of men, women, and children crossing to the south to surrender to Chen, and the black pressure covered the entire river.

Cui Hongdu, the governor of Jiangling of the Sui Dynasty, who stayed in Jiangling, received a report shortly after Xiao Yan led his men to cross the river, and was about to lead the navy to board the ship to intercept it, but received an urgent military report from Xiangzhou, saying that Yang Jun, the king of Qin, was assassinated by an unknown assassin on the way from Jiangling to Xiangzhou to inspect the river, and asked Cui Hongdu to send troops to rescue him quickly.

Cui Hongdu weighed the priorities, but still did not dare to ignore Yang Jun's plea for help, and went to lead the army to stop Xiao Yan from leading the crowd to cross the river to surrender to Chen, so he urgently ordered his subordinate Zuo Ling to lead the navy to board the ship to stop Xiao Yan from leading the crowd to the south to surrender to Chen, and he himself led 500 elite cavalry out of the city to rescue Yang Jun.

When Cui Hongdu led his army to find Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and his personal guards in a village about fifty miles away from Xiangzhou City, after asking Yang Jun face to face, he knew that although the number of assassins in the group of assassins who blocked the road and assassinated him this time was hundreds of people (it is implied in the book that those who came to assassinate Yang Jun with Xiao Rushui were all personal soldiers in Xiao Yan's mansion), but it was like a false shot, and it collapsed at the touch of a button, only the leading person, Liang Mo, who accompanied Yang Jun to protect Yang Jun, was vaguely the "Goose's Nest" big protector Xiao Rushui who escaped from his hands a few months ago. Chased him all the way.

When Cui Hongdu heard Yang Jun say this, he secretly said that his voice was not good, and he knew that the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he reported to Yang Jun that a large number of ships were found to have crossed from the north bank of the river today, and it was suspected that a large number of Houliang people wanted to cross the river to Nanchen.

Yang Jun immediately ordered the prefectures along the Yangtze River to use the local naval army to stop as many Nandu boats as possible. He himself immediately canceled his original itinerary and returned to Gangneung with Choi Hongdu, personally arranging for the operation to intercept the Nandu boats on the river near Gangneung.

When Yang Jun and Cui Hongdu hurried back to Gangneung City, climbed the city tower, and looked at the south of the river, they saw that a sail shadow had turned into black dots in their sight, and they saw that hundreds of ships were about to cross the river and reach the south bank of the river.
