At noon the next day, Liu Du saw Pan Jun appear under Quanling City as promised, and saw that Pan Jun only brought a small number of personal soldiers with him, and the other soldiers were waiting outside the drawbridge, Liu Du was even more relieved. With Tai Shouyin on his neck, a sheep in his hand, and a coffin in the car behind, he came to the gate of the city, bowed to Pan Jun and said: "The lower official has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and dares to offend the general, it is a capital crime. ”

Pan Jun hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to Liu Du, and returned the salute with a smile: "Why should Liu Taishou be polite? Lord Taishou is willing to return to righteousness, but the last general can't ask for it, how dare he refuse? ”

Liu Du saw that Pan Jun had dismounted, and he was not far from him, so he hurriedly ordered: "Where is Jiang Wan?" Not sure to do it quickly? ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up and fled towards the rear, the speed of this escape made Pan Jun sigh to himself.

But Liu Du didn't expect that Jiang Wan looked at him with a sneer, and then waved his hand, and saw more than a dozen fierce soldiers rushing forward, grabbing Liu Du very quickly, and taking off the Taishou seal around his neck, turning around and handing it to Jiang Wan.

"Jiang Wan, what are you doing here?" Li Xiang, who was standing next to Jiang Wan, saw a sudden change, and hurriedly shouted at Jiang Wan.

But I heard Jiang Wan say lightly: "Li Xiang, do you think I don't know?" You are actually sent by Zhang Xian to supervise Liu Taishou, if you hadn't threatened Liu Taishou's family, Liu Taishou would not have followed Zhang Xian on this dead end, and now I, Jiang Wan, am grateful for Liu Taishou's kindness, and I am here to help Liu Taishou find a new way to live. Li Xiang, let me die. ”

As soon as Jiang Wan's voice fell, he saw that the two majestic guards beside him suddenly shot out and cut off Li Xiang's head with lightning speed.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be killed, Li Xiang's personal soldiers immediately rushed forward, wanting to avenge Li Xiang, but unexpectedly, Jiang Wan had already arranged a qiē, he retreated slightly, and saw hundreds of elite soldiers with swords coming from behind, surrounding Li Xiang's personal soldiers and slaughtering.

Jiang Wan's personal soldiers were all personally selected and trained by him, each of them was one as ten, but the elite of the elite, and it could be said that it was effortless to deal with Li Xiang's straw bag soldiers, and Li Xiang's personal soldiers were killed in an instant.

At this moment, Jiang Wan's voice came: "Liu Taishou, don't hide it, this Jingzhou chief general is the cousin of Xiaguan, surnamed Pan Mingjun, a native of Wuling Hanshou, you have no way out, let's return to righteousness." Now that Wuling has been re-ruled by Liu Jingzhou in the four counties of Jingnan, Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang have been isolated by themselves, and it is a matter of time before Zhang Xian is defeated, why are you so stubborn? ”

"This ......" Liu Du couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to be obedient, but the little girl is now in Zhang Xian's mansion as a daughter-in-law, once the official surrenders, I'm afraid the little girl's life will not be guaranteed, so I hesitate." ”

I only heard Jiang Wan sigh: "At the beginning, the lower officials persuaded the adults bitterly, and Hugh wanted to follow Zhang Xian to make this rebellious move, and later when the adults wanted to marry the young lady to Zhang Xian's son Zhang Yi, the lower officials were bitterly persuaded again, how could the adults not listen, resulting in today's disaster." However, if the adults don't come down, I'm afraid that it will not only be the young lady who will suffer the disaster, but even the house will be full of heads. ”

At this moment, Pan Jun suddenly said: "In this case, Liu Taishou can be a righteous man who would rather die than surrender, and the general will put Lord Taishou into prison, Zhang Xian heard that the adult is loyal, and he will refuse to kill Miss, and he will break Changsha in the future, rescue Miss, and then release the adult, I don't know if the adult is willing?" It's just that the last general has to declare it in advance, so that the adults can no longer be too guarded. ”

Liu Du thought for a while, and said without hesitation: "I am willing to do what the general said, hehe, although this position of Taishou is important, how can it be more important than the life of the little girl, please put this official in prison." ”

Pan Jun and Jiang Wan suddenly looked at Liu Du with respect on their faces, and arched their hands: "Please rest assured, we will do our best to rescue Miss with the righteousness of all adults." ”

After finishing speaking, Pan Jun ordered Liu Du to be taken into prison, and told the jailers to take care of them carefully, so that such righteous people could not be wronged. He also ordered someone to protect Liu Du's family, and all the food and clothing were raised by the government.

Liu Du bowed down to Pan Jun and Jiang Wan, and then was thrown into a prison cell, hoping that his daughter would come back alive every day.

After Pan Jun put Liu Du in a cell, he led his army into the city, temporarily took charge of the seal of Taishou, and sent all counties to surrender quickly. In just half a month, in addition to Xiangxiang County, which had already surrendered to Huo Jun, the five counties of Yingpu, Lingdao, Shi'an, Lingling, and Taoyang, as well as the five marquis states of Duliang, Chong'an, Fuyi, Zhaoyang, and Haoyang, all surrendered, and only Yingdao County was still resisting stubbornly with the support of Jiaozhou Mu Zhang Jin.

At this time, Pan Jun listened to his cousin Jiang Wan's Jianyì, left Jiang Wan to guard the Quanling, and personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Yingdao, and rushed to Yingdao City after three days.

After Pan Jun captured Yingdao County, he knew that Zhang Jin would definitely send people to attack, so he ordered people to build strong fortifications in Shi'an, Yingdao, Leader, Yingpu and other places, and actively recruited soldiers to defend it, making the entire southern part of Lingling an impregnable defense line, and later this defense line continued to defeat Zhang Jin's invasion and became a solid barrier to ensure the stability of the people in Lingling County.

Since the capture of Yingdao County, Pan Jun recovered the entire Lingling County in less than a month, which can be said to be a great achievement, and it also has a very important significance for Liu Qi, because although Wuling is a vast place, it has backward economic production and a sparse population, with only 46,672 households and 250,913 mouths, but Lingling has 212,284 households and 1,1578 mouths, which is more than five times that of Wuling County. Such a rare number of hukou is nearly half more than Nanjun, and it is the third largest county in Jingzhou after Nanyang and Changsha.

More importantly, occupying the entire Lingling County made the Jingzhou army surround Zhao Fan of Guiyang from both sides, which has the strategic significance of having no proportion.

After Pan Jun pacified the entire Lingling County, he began to promulgate a series of measures to calm the people's hearts, which were exactly the same as Pei Qian's original practice in Wuling, and these effective measures soon made the entire Lingling County quickly turn into a stable and peaceful situation again, and even if there was a war later, it was only between the southernmost counties, and the other large areas were kept peaceful for a long time.

At the same time, Pan Jun also summoned the commanders of the counties in the northern central region and the ministers of various countries, ordered them to gather the grain and grass stored in the counties and states, and actively recruited and trained the troops, and sent the army and grain and grass to Youxian County in a steady stream, and sent Jiang Wan to personally lead the elite troops to Youxian, and Liu Qi would attack Guiyang.

Jiang Wan respected Pan Jun's order, and after a five-day march, he came to the city of Youxian County.

Jiang Wan reported his name, handed over the order to the defenders for inspection, and then led an army of 5,000 and a cart of grain and grass into Yuxian County.

Liu Qi heard that Jiang Wan was coming, and immediately greeted him personally, and immediately worshiped Jiang Wan as the county commander of Yuxian County, led Sima of the other department, commanded the army of 5,000, and had the right to participate in the military.

Jiang Wan saw that he was so favored, and his heart was also moved, and then he understood why his cousin Pan Jun was willing to serve this person, even his heart has been surging with a thought, that is: "The person who is a confidant dies." Now he is also willing to go to the trouble for the sake of this young general, and he will not hesitate.

Jiang Wan endured the emotion in his heart, and secretly sighed: "Such a character is the real master, with a wise mind, a broad mind, the style of corporal Lixian, and the insight of a hero, until today I didn't know that under his account, such a group of Jingxiang celebrities were collected, and these people are all really outstanding talents, no wonder he can even connect the two counties of Kewuling and Lingling, and even Guiyang and Changsha in just a few months, it is only a matter of time, I, Jiang Wan, can meet such a master, This life is worth it. Look at it, I, Jiang Wan, will definitely do my best to assist the Ming Lord, achieve immortal achievements, and also win a wife and son, and leave a name in history. ”

"I wonder when the general is ready to attack Guiyang?" Jiang Wan thought for a moment, then bowed down and asked.

"Hehe, now our army has been recuperating for nearly a month, morale is high, food and grass are sufficient, since the best kuài sent troops, one go to capture Guiyang, but Guiyang is also a strong city, if it is a strong attack by general means, it must be a lot of damage, so our siege this time is mainly to fight the will of the enemy, and now our army has developed a powerful siege equipment, which is being prepared, if it is not unexpected, it can be completed in a few days, and then we will bring these siege equipment to intimidate the other party, Achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight, and let it obediently surrender the city. ”

"Oh? Our army has actually developed new siege equipment? I don't know what kind of divine soldier it is? The last general really wants to see and see. A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Wan's eyes, and he hurriedly asked.

"You'll be able to see it when it's made." Liu Qi said with a slight wry smile: "It's not that the general is pretending to be mysterious, but it's really Lord Huang of the Ordnance Department who has a strange temper, and even the general is not allowed to enter during the production of the equipment, so everyone is waiting silently." ”
