It is not big, a small county town with a circumference of only more than 2,000 steps, and the height of the city wall is only more than two zhang, and there are only a few hundred residents.

In fact, this is not the earliest Dangtu County, but the hometown of Dangtu is in the area of Jiujiang County in Jiangbei. When the Wuhu chaos and the sinking of Shenzhou, the residents of Jiangbei crossed the river and moved south one after another, and the government of the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved the immigrants who crossed the river from Dangtu to live here, and re-established a Qiaozhi County called Dangtu.

Now the ancient city of Dangtu in the north of the Yangtze River has long been abandoned, and the overseas Chinese in the south of the Yangtze River in Dangtu County is gradually prospering, because it is located near the Yangtze River to rush to the quarry, from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to build a city to defend, for a long time, the original military fortress has gradually become a county office.

Since the Southern Dynasty gradually lost the hometown of the two Huai areas in the north of the Yangtze River, there are more and more overseas Chinese counties in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Jingkou has become South Xuzhou, and when Tu has also become South Yuzhou, this Gu Xiao City has also been upgraded to become the seat of governance of South Yuzhou.

Wang Huaqiang recalled the information about Guyu City in his mind, and at the same time followed Sima Dekan all the way, along the way, the residents of the city closed their doors, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

Some Sui soldiers who patrolled the city back and forth were beating gongs and drums and reading slogans such as the Heavenly Soldiers Pressing the Border, Hanging the People and Killing the Crime, and Saving the People of the Southern Dynasty from Fire and Water, while sticking notices on the doors of each house. It's just that even so, there is still no one in the Southern Dynasty who dares to open the door to greet them, and the whole city is like a dead city, revealing a trace of weirdness.

Unconsciously, the two walked to the Nanyuzhou Thorn History Hall in the center of the city, which is just a two-entry courtyard, about the same size as Wang Huaqiang's home in Xinfeng, with the lobby in front and the back yard as Thorn Shi's home.

Because Nanchen only has one-third of the territory in the world, but the other two-thirds of the counties are built in the mainland, so Nanchen's state is only the same size as the county of the Sui Dynasty.

And now outside the hall of the state government, two teams of strong men stand with lances and knives, these legendary royal guards, all of them are brave and powerful Guanzhong warriors, known as walking horses on their arms and standing on their fists.

If you want to join the Xiaoguo Army, you must first excel in the government armies in various places, and then there is an annual selection meeting, from the strong men on the Fan, select the warriors with strong physique, bow and horse, and tattoo the tattoo of the bloody eagle on the left arm, joining Xiaoguo is the dream of every Sui army, this force is the special forces of the Sui Dynasty.

Every Xiaoguo army here is a strong man with a length of more than eight feet, all of them are majestic, and there are more than twenty people standing on both sides, and there is a faint inviolable awe-inspiring momentum, so that any assassins and stragglers of the Chen Dynasty dare not have any idea of assassinating those people in the lobby.

Han Baohu was sitting in the lobby, he was about fifty years old, the tiger's eyes were powerful, his face was dark, his thick eyebrows were like knives, his face was bearded, the beard of his temples was a stiff beard that was flared outward, and the beard of his jaw was bearded, curled and connected together, Wang Huaqiang saw him for the first time, and he thought of the king of Hades in the underworld, that kind of terrifying aura and sky-high momentum is where General Han Baohu's general power lies.

On the left and right of the lobby, there are two classes of generals, although the one on the left is also wearing military uniforms, most of them look like white-faced scholars, and Wang Xuan is also in this column, and on the right is a military general wearing a military robe with a uniform helmet and armor, and Han Shige is the last to accompany him.

Wang Huaqiang straightened his clothes, since last night he ordered to flee lightly, he threw away his armor and helmet, only the black cloth clothes he wore inside, because he had been running all night, sweating all over, and he didn't feel cold, this time he calmed down, and was blown by the wind, only to feel that the cold wind was in his bones, especially the three arrow wounds that were operated on, it was itchy and painful.

Wang Huaqiang took a deep breath and walked towards the hall, a Xiaoguo guard wanted to stretch out his hand to block it, but when he looked at Sima Dekan beside him, he understood that the person who came must be Wang Huaqiang, so he waved his hand and let him go.

Han Baohu's voice echoed in the lobby, not very high, but it exuded a majesty: "Wang Kaifu, you just said that Fan Yi, the general of the Chen army, and his family are here now?" ”

Wang Xuan's voice was calm with a hint of excitement: "Yes, the last general heard about this matter before, and after coming here, he asked his old subordinate Uncle Fu Quan for confirmation, and learned that Fan Yi's younger brother Fan Meng, who is also a general of the Chen Dynasty, is now commanding the naval division warship at the mouth of the Qinhuai River in Jiankang, he is the titular assassin of Nanyu Prefecture, but now in the army, let his son Fan Xun serve as his director here."

Today, when General Manager Han was attacking the city, this Fan Xun organized Ding Zhuang in the city to defend the city, but he did not block the offensive of our heavenly soldiers for half a day, while Fan Xun was unsuccessful in absconding with makeup and was blocked in the city, and now he is back home, Chief Han, this is an excellent hostage, maybe he can force Fan Meng and Fan Yi brothers to submit and fall to our army. ”

A middle-aged scribe in his forties with a gloomy expression standing next to Wang Xuan said: "There are also the two sons of Lu Guangda, the general of the Chen Dynasty, Lu Shizhen and Lu Shixiong, who were originally stationed in quarrying, and after being defeated by our army, they led the remnants to retreat to this Gu Yi City, but our army attacked the city non-stop, and the two of them could not resist the fierce attack of our army, and they also surrendered to Kaicheng. ”

Han Baohu's face was not half happy, and he shook his head: "How come these sons and nephews of the generals of the Southern Dynasty are so unsuccessful, and they have completely lost Lao Tzu's face." It seems that Lu Guangda, the Fan brothers and others are also in vain, and they can't even manage their sons, so how can they manage the army. ”

The middle-aged scribe asked, "Chief Manager Han, do you think you want to arrest Fan Xun now?" ”

Han Baohu's expression was calm, and he suddenly turned his eyes to Wang Huaqiang who was standing outside the door, and said in a deep voice: "It is Wang Huaqiang and Wang Dudu who are standing outside the hall, you also heard it, Wang Senjun said to arrest Fan Xun, the information of these people in Gu Yu was provided by you, now you come and talk about it, do you want to do this?" ”

With Han Baohu's words, everyone turned their heads to look at Wang Huaqiang outside the door, Wang Huaqiang walked up to the hall, and first gave a military salute to Han Baohu: "Little Wang Huaqiang, I have seen Manager Han." ”

Han Baohu nodded, stroked his beard and said: "Wang Huaqiang, although your official position is not high, but you made great contributions in the first battle yesterday, even if the commander is in your position, you may not be able to do better, so I want to hear your opinion on this matter." ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced at the middle-aged scribe named Wang Xianjun, this person is thin and tall, with triangular eyes, hanging horned eyebrows, slightly upward skimming at the corners of his mouth, high cheekbones, and his appearance is seven or eight points similar to Wang Xuan, but the temperament of the whole person is gloomy, giving people an uncomfortable feeling, it must be Wang Xuan's brother, Wang Fei, who is currently in the army of the Han Shogunate.

Wang Huaqiang felt a trace of hostility from Wang Fei's cold eyes looking at him, but he still spoke: "Chief Manager Han, in my opinion, you need to treat Fan Xun with courtesy, not only can't arrest him, but also protect his family, as for the Lu brothers, it is best to let them still lead their subordinates and be responsible for the patrol and security in this city." ”

Han Baohu let out an "oh", but he still couldn't see the clue on his face: "Tell me the reason." ”

Wang Huaqiang cleared his throat and said: "Fan Xun and the Lu brothers are both the sons of the generals of Southern Chen, and now their fathers are important ministers of the Chen Dynasty and have heavy troops, but they will not surrender to our army because their son was captured, and sell their masters for glory." Not because of how loyal they were, but because their subordinates were not completely loyal to their personal private soldiers, these soldiers were all Ding Zhuang of the counties and counties recruited by the Chen Dynasty, and even if they wanted to rebel, these people would not listen.

But we treat and appease these people kindly, can make the emperor of the Chen Dynasty suspicious, after all, Lu Guangda and the Fan brothers are many years of generals, and they also have prestige in the army, in this time when our army crossed the river, and the people inside and outside Jiankang were panicked, if Chen Shubao did not use these veterans, then we defeated the Chen army and the certainty of breaking Jiankang would be much greater. ”
