Xu Ruyu guessed that Zhang Jidao might invite the eldest uncle, but Zhang Zhongdao listened and was stunned.

Fang Su said: "Zhang Jidao and Chen Pre-seize power and have come to the last step. ”

Xu Ruyu wiped away the sadness on his face, hid it in his heart, and said secretly: There will be a lot of helplessness in the end. moved to the front hall with Shao Haitang, Fang Su, Zhang Zhongdao and others, and Xu Boying, Mei Tierui, Yi Guanyuan, Jiang Lingtian, Kou Zichan and others also came one after another.

Xu Ruyu walked up the stairs, walked to the front of the long case, his face returned to calm, looked left and right, his voice was low, and said: "In the foreign Kou realm, the Chen family still has the heart of separation, please conspire with me." ”

Shao Haitang said: "Under Pengcheng in the East China Sea, Zhang Jidao will lead the elite troops of the northern line to the south, and block the edge of Jiangning with Chen Pre, during this period, the authority of the East China Sea will gradually move to Zhang Jidao's hands. Xijing became chaotic, and Zhang Jidao chose such an opportunity to replace Chen Yu, just afraid that he wanted to be the king of the East China Sea. ”

Zhang Zhongdao snorted hatefully, but did not make a sound.

Shao Haitang turned his face to look at him, then turned his face to Xu Ruyu, and said: "Xijing is in turmoil, the inner court is overturned, and everyone thinks that the big wedge is also a big wedge, not only Zhang Jidao wants to be the king of the East China Sea, but the Yuan family also wants to add the emperor." ”

Yuan Zhen? Xu Ruyu thought of Qin Zhongshu and said secretly: It should be called Qin Ziqing. The Yuan clan avoided Nanping and went to the emperor for half an age, and the ambition in his heart was like a fire hidden in the abyss, burning with a raging dark red flame, and it never went out.

Yi Guanyuan said: "The Yuan clan avoided Nanping, regarded itself as the Han court, and Nanping regarded it as Zhengshuo, which was used as the basis for restoration, but Yuan Zhen really wanted to add the emperor, but the resistance came from within Nanping. ”

Xu Ruyu nodded and said: "The Fu clan is destroyed, and it is okay for the Yuan clan to be the emperor in Linxiang, but the excuse for allowing Yanmen to go north to restore is gone." The heroes of the secession area can be called ministers, but the people in Nanping want to bow three times and bow nine times to Yuan Zhen, and I don't know if Rong Yanmen can swallow this breath. ”

Yuan has its name, and most of Nanping's authority is in the hands of the Rong family. The Rong family has long bred the heart to replace him, how could he let Yuan Zhen take this opportunity to regain the throne of Zhongzhou?

Looking at the expressions of the princes in front of the hall who wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Ruyu sighed secretly and said: There are also people in Jiangning who want to persuade me to call myself the king. Mu monkey and crown, and come to all beings. Xu Ruyu thought of this, and a self-deprecating chuckle appeared on his face, slightly bitter.

Shao Haitang saw the subtlety and knew that it was not the time to mention this matter, so he changed his eyes with Mei Tierui and others, and returned to the East China Sea, saying: "Zhang Jidao has been plotting the East China Sea for a long time, even if he can't replace Chen Pre, he will divide the East China Sea and divide the upper reaches of the Huaishui River." Since Zhang Jidao controlled Yixing, there were many places to learn from Jiangning, such as military households, tuntian and other systems, and Yixing was operated without leakage. The yin of the river, the yang of the river, the land is two thousand miles wide, but there are seven forces divided, each of which is thin, not enough to block the Hulan iron horse, this is the worry of foolishness. Zhang Jidao, for his own selfish desires, restrained the elite soldiers of the Yi clan in Qingzhou and the Li clan in Qinghe, causing the situation on both sides of the river to deteriorate, which is very hateful. If Zhang Jidao is successful, the world is in danger, and Jiang Ning should try to prevent Zhang Jidao from seeking authority in the East China Sea. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Chen pre-regarded Jiang Ning and Zhang Jidao as jackals, but Jiang Ning was particularly fierce, Chen pre-weighed the lesser of the two evils, and was forced to compromise with Zhang Jidao due to internal and external pressure. Unless Jiang Ning does not do harm, Chen Yu will compete with Zhang Jidao. ”

Zhang Zhongdao said in a loud voice: "Jiangning's power has been established, and Ru Yu will make peace with Chen Yu with twelve points of sincerity, and Chen Yu will not believe it." The world can know that you are foolish, Chen is one of them, you are the rise of Jiangning, the heart of the world, will stop at the southeast corner? Those who have the world in their hearts have no selfish feelings, although they don't want to, this East China Sea still has to be taken. Zhong Dao is willing to ask him to go to the post of head of Jiangning Xingyuan to clear the obstacles for Ru Yu to go north. ”

Since it is inevitable to face it, Zhang Zhongdao stood in front of the hall, his body was stout, his face was indifferent, but he felt a hidden pain in his heart: After parting ways for several years, is it really time for brothers to meet each other?

Xu Ruyu sighed slightly, and said: "In the past few months, I have laid out a hidden chess move, if I can get a plan, maybe there is no need to meet with the East China Sea soldiers at this time." After a pause, his expression instantly became solemn, and his voice was sonorous, "However, it is also necessary to be prepared to meet the East China Sea soldiers." ”

The war in Yuejun, which had almost come to a standstill, suddenly turned rapidly again in late October.

After the end of the Liyang War, in addition to Xiao Wuye and Li Gonglin led 20,000 elite guards to the west of Liyang Mansion to deploy defense, Ban Zhaolin led 10,000 elites to garrison the original Fengling and Huaiyushan defense lines, and the remaining 70,000 elite soldiers gathered on the front line of Xin'an to force the Zhukunda forces occupying Huzhou and Lanling. Luo Boyuan led a military guard army to respond between Xin'an and Jiangning, and Ziyang Yalan led a military guard army out of Jiangning to the east to respond and approach Lanling. Wei Yan led Qingfeng to ride between Xin'an and Chongyi, and the Qingjiang garrison led by Li Yi of Chongyi to monitor the movements of the Fan people.

When the troops approached the city, the two envoys came and went to the city gate frequently, but they did not launch an offensive. For Jiangning, Lanling and Huzhou are the hinterland of Jiangning, so they naturally don't want to see the war turn this place into a mess.

In late October, the stagnant fighting in Viet Gun stirred up military movements near Xin'an.

On the night of 21 October, the Fifth School Army under the Fengling Xingying left the eastern border of Xin'an, headed for Chongyi, turned around in Chongyi, and headed southeast along the south bank of Zhenze Lake. The edge pointed directly at the gap between Linxi and Yuhang.

Just when Zhu Kunda was confused, the soldiers and horses of the Fan tribe went out of Yuhang, Linxi, Wucheng and other cities, and assembled to Linxi, but the assembled army did not go to meet the five school army that invaded the territory, but deviated from the route of the five school army, along Zhenze Lake, to the northeast.

When Zhu Kunda found out that the leader of the Fan clan's army was Fan Wenlong, he was stunned: The Fan clan had already surrendered?

Zhu Bai Yan has a slight beard on his white face, and he has no conquest, hollowing out his body, and there is no divine light in his slender eyes. Since Jiangning launched the Yuejun War, Jiangning has no jurisdiction over Wuzhou on the south bank of the river, and has not deployed troops in Yongyang and Zhenhai, so Zhu Baiyan does not feel the threat of Jiangning for the time being.

A few months ago, after the Battle of Huishan, before the Battle of Yuejun was launched, Jiang Ning sent Cao San to surrender, Zhu Bai Yan was impatient, but he didn't dare to brush Jiang Ning's face, and the etiquette was very good. However, during the banquet, Cao San's words were arrogant and arrogant, and after drinking, he often had unbearable words such as Zhu Lianzhi wandering in the southeast for decades, succumbing to the hands of the subordinates, and his son stealing his place with the subordinates.

Although the cause of Zhu Lianzhi's death is unknown, Zhu Kunda can't get rid of suspicion, but it was caused by Xu Ruyu's ambush in Huishan, maybe Xu Ruyu deliberately did it, and Xu Ruyu really had time to kill Zhu Lianzhi at that time. The two armies fought, and Xu Ru dared to ambush the commander in the enemy formation, but he could only sigh at his courage beyond ordinary people's expectations. Cao San mentioned it in public, but there was a sense of humiliation, if it wasn't for everyone to stop him, Zhu Baiyan would have even had the heart to kill him, and finally stripped him of his clothes, whipped dozens of rattans, and drove him out of the city. After that, Jiangning brazenly launched the battle of Yuejun, and said that Liyang was under Baiyang, and Zhu Tongshan led 30,000 remnants of Liyang to surrender. At this time, Zhu Bai Yan felt a trace of regret for the humiliation of Cao San, and said secretly: Jiang Ning is strong, and it is inevitable that he will be rampant after drinking. It is also known that after Cao San returned to Jiangning, not only was he not hindered by the humiliation of the envoy, but he took an important position like Jing'an Division and became Xu Ruyu's close minister. Zhu Baiyan was even more worried in his heart, and he didn't mention that Zhu Kunda and the possibility of killing his father, he only hoped that Zhu Kunda would not surrender to death, block Jiang Ning's edge for him, and had a close contact with Fan Che, thinking: Yue Jun can only make Jiang Ning have a little scruples, and only Fan Che is left.

Zhu Baiyan sent troops from Yongyang to cross the river to attack Jiangning, and deployed his troops along the river, Wuzhou, Huating, Wuxian, Wangting and other cities close to Lanling and Yuhang, but there were not many garrisons.

Zhu Bai Yan heard that the Fan clan was sending troops to Wuzhou, and he didn't believe it, and said: "There is no discussion between the two families to join forces, what is Fan Che leading the troops to do?" ”

When he heard that Fan Wenlong, the leader of the Fan clan, his feet stretched out sharply, and he was so shocked that he fell backwards with the seat. Zhu Baiyan got up from the ground, panicked, and stammered: "Fan, Fan, Fan Wenlong...... It's not a ...... to take refuge in", but I can't say a complete sentence.

Zhu Qinshan said: "Fan Wenlong has surrendered to Jiangning, and now even Fan Che has surrendered to Jiangning. ”

Zhu Baiyan held his hands on the ground, and was about to struggle to stand up, when he heard Zhu Qinshan's words, he fell to the ground again, sat on the ground, and said, "How is this good, how is this good?" Grabbing Zhu Qinshan's wrist, he said, "It's better to open the city gate......

"Surrendering at this time only fulfilled Fan Wenlong, but it was useless for the lord, maybe Fan Wenlong would take the lord as his merit. There are not a few people in Jiang Ning who resent the lord, and Fan Wenlong is probably willing to give this favor ......"

Zhu Bai Yan only felt that his neck was tight, and he couldn't do anything for a while, and said, "Third uncle, what do you say?" ”

"Stick to Wuzhou, and only send enough people to Jiangning to come forward."

"I will immediately issue an order to return the Linjiang garrison to Wuzhou, and the garrisons of Huating and Wangting will also be transferred back......"

Zhu Qinshan sighed slightly and said, "At this time, I am afraid that the garrisons in various places will not listen to the order. ”

"Why don't you listen to the order, I'm their lord?"

"Does the lord know what happened to me in Jiangning?"

Zhang Zhongdao led the Wuwei army to attack Jiangning, and Jiangning Yi Cheng Ma Yao's father bound the capital to Zhu Qinshan to surrender. Xu Ruyu was foolish in the service, and did not lose a single soldier to obtain Jiangning and Xin'an, and opened up the land passage between Yongyang and Qingjiang. Xu Ruyu did not imprison Zhu Qinshan and returned him to the Zhu family. Zhu Qin returned to Wuzhou, but he had no power in Wuzhou, and Zhu Lianzhi couldn't see it well, so he had to follow Zhu Baiyan.

Zhu Qinshan continued: "The people's hearts are like this, and the garrisons in various places have not descended from the wind, and they are already very loyal. ”

Zhu Bai Yan's face was like dirt, and he said: "There are only five thousand defenders in Wuzhou, how can they hold it?" If they don't come, why don't the third uncle follow me to Linjiang? ”

"At this time, you must not leave the city to go, the Qingfeng cavalry led by Wei Yan has not been known for a long time, do you know if you have sneaked into the wild of Wuzhou?"

"Ah......h

"Fan Wenlong is in a hurry, he must not be ready to attack the city, Wuzhou has 5,000 soldiers and horses enough to defend the city, not to mention that we are not defending to the death, just let Xu Ruyu know the weight of the lord......"

It's the cold season in the north, and it's not cold yet. From Linxi to the north, the east bank of Zhenze Lake is a flat river, even the low hills are very rare, at a glance, there is no obstacle, the first to emerge from the horizon is countless brocade flags embroidered flags, dancing in the wind, the wild beasts on the battle flag are lifelike, open their teeth and bend their claws and leap, and there seems to be an infinite roar in the ears. A gallop out, followed by tens of millions of people, and the sound of horns, drums, and golden trumpets was orderly.

Fan Wenlong sat on the green brown horse, looking at the Wujiang River in the distance across the city's field of vision. Beyond the Wujiang River, it is the territory of Wuzhou. I don't know what kind of expression Zhu Bai Yan will have.

Qingjun's long forehead was slightly sideways, snorting, and hissing, just letting Fan Wenlong run with his hooves uncontrollable.

Wen Xianyong gave Qingjun to Xu Ruyu to harm him. Xu Ruyu gave Qingjun to Fan Wenlong again, and there was no chance to run on the battlefield.

On the west side of this behemoth queue, on the Guantang River, which connects Wuzhou and Yuhang, thousands of boats and boats went north along the river, entered the Wujiang River, and divided a group of boats and boats across the Wujiang River, and were fastened with ropes to form dozens of boat bridges.

Looking at the steady flow of people passing by him, Fan Wenlong felt infinite emotion.

Fan Wenlong remembered the situation when he first met Xu Ruyu, it was before the Battle of Fuzhou, Xu Ruyu led 2,000 troops to confront the more than 15,000 rogues led by Gongliang Xiaotian at the Old Man Peak. Fan Wenlong led 5,000 elites of the Fan clan to attack the Liukou from the flank, defeated them, and relieved Xu Ruyu of the siege of Old Man's Peak. Xu Ruyu was dressed in a green shirt, slightly stained with blood, his eyes were calm and calm, and he had no threat of aggression, but he was convincing. In the battle of Old Man Peak, Xu Ruyu was trapped in Old Man Peak, sitting in peace, and did not rescue the Fan family, but the Fan family knew that Xu Ruyu was using a knife to kill people, but he still couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to help. The battle of Yuejun has been going on until now, and the Jiangning soldiers have bullied the Zhu clan and ignored the Fan clan, and the world probably did not expect that the Fan clan would be the first to surrender.

Fan Wenlong stroked the horse's neck and drove it across the river, Qingjun neighed, jumped up the embankment, and then went down the embankment, and hesitated in the open space. There was a whining horn in the distance, and several horses galloped, Fan Wenlong saw that one of them was Jiehai, and said secretly: Qingfeng has entered Wuzhou? Ride your horse to meet you.

Jiehai was still a hundred steps away from Fan Wenlong, so he got off the horse, hurried up to meet him, and said, "Qingfeng rode to the left to see General Fan. General Wei led the whole Qingfeng cavalry army into the territory of Wuzhou, and ordered me to lead two cavalry battalions to listen to General Fan's dispatch. ”

Qingfeng cavalry set up eight inlays, one set of 500 people, set up the left inlay lieutenant to lead it, the right to serve as the battalion lieutenant. Wei Yan sent a thousand fine horsemen, and Jiehai was the main general of a thousand horsemen, and he personally came to report in front of the horse, without any slackness.
