When the local people in Jingzhou were in turmoil by Li Tai, Xiangyang City, which was far away on the south bank of the Han River, was not much better.

In the Zhitang of the Yongzhou Thorn History Mansion in Xiangyang City, a young man dressed in a long robe and brocade robe and wearing a small crown of gold and jade threw a letter on the eucalyptus, and at the same time roared in his mouth angrily: "The Beiyu is really a thief and arrogant and ignorant, and it is really unreasonable to criticize me for the matter of Poyang!"

This young man was Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, who was the assassin of Yongzhou at the time and the third son of Prince Zhaoming, and the letter on the eucalyptus thrown by him was the book submitted by Li Tai, the assassin of Jingzhou in the Western Dynasty, who had just been sent to the state capital from the north bank of the Han River.

There were more than a dozen people in the straight hall, dressed in different costumes, and several of them were dressed as martial artists, seeing that King Yueyang was so angry, they also stood up one after another, and echoed: "The thief is arrogant, he dares to offend the king, it is really unbearable! The last general, please strike the thieves in the north with a brave pawn, and catch them in the south to confess their crimes before the king chakes!"

Hearing a few people say this, King Yueyang's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and he was silent, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

However, Cai Dabao, the palace advisor who was also in the straight hall, hurriedly said after seeing this: "The king, please calm down for a while, the captives are uneducated, and they don't know the personnel changes of our dynasty, so there is this misunderstanding. It is not wise for them to be warlike and to kill for their merits, and it is really unwise to rush into battle, and it is better to send ......

Before he finished speaking, one of the people who was clamoring for war before said loudly: "Cai joins the army, this is a conclusive fact, the former Poyang King led the army to attack along this line, and the thief sent a letter to ask about this is also this matter, how can you explain that the existing things can be erased? Even if the former army is not my Yongzhou people, it is always the army of a country, and the thieves provoke it with this, if I send an envoy to the letter to discuss this matter carefully, the thieves will inevitably become even more rampant!"

Cai Dabao's expression suddenly became anxious after hearing this, and before he could open his mouth to continue arguing, King Yueyang in the hall had already frowned and said in a deep voice: "Send the envoy to speak, there is no need to say it again!" If a thief dares to come, I will strike him head-on! Xiangyang is my lord's Longxing Hidden Residence, there is no shortage of loyal and brave people inside and outside, how can they be afraid of the few captives!

If the thief doesn't provoke, I don't want to hurt people, but now the thief wants to take the initiative to attack, and I, the people of Xiangyang, can only fight to kill the thief! Inform all parties in the state that from now on, they will prepare for war, and the cities south of the Han River will send troops to reinforce Xiangyang......

Yueyang Wang's family is noble and in the prime of life, and he is already arrogant, so he naturally will not bow his head to others easily.

What's more, Xiangyang is the place where the emperor started a business and ruled now, Xiangyang can be called the first big town before the Han Dynasty, where the characters gathered, the city is tall and broad, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the king of Yueyang has this heroic city elite army, and his ambition is better, and he will not be afraid of the threat of a major general in the north.

When he made this statement, he issued various orders for the reorganization of the army, and as his orders were issued one by one, the troops and materials belonging to the entire Yongzhou would be dispatched, and a steady stream of them would converge to Xiangyang.

After the orders to the surrounding counties were issued, the next step was to make important appointments. Although the troops are mobilized, they must also be handed over to the talented generals to command, so that they can fully exert their combat effectiveness and defeat the opponent.

Xiangyang City itself is naturally the top priority of defense, and there is King Yueyang and his two prefectures who are responsible for guarding it. In addition, the most important thing is Fancheng, which is on the other side of the Han River and across the river from Xiangyang.

Fancheng is the north gate of Xiangyang, and it is also the most important city defense location outside Xiangyang City.

Cai Dabao saw that King Yueyang refused to adopt his opinion, but promised to meet with the enemy generals in the north, so he also gave up the exhortation, and instead took the initiative to ask to go to Fancheng to assist in the defense.

When King Yue Yang heard this, he immediately frowned, waved his hand and shouted: "Cai is a scholar in the army, and it is difficult to defeat the first, even if he has the ambition to make meritorious contributions, there is no need to fight at this time. There is no shortage of loyal and brave warriors under the lonely family, and you don't have to rely on the strength of a scholar to win a battle with the enemy!"

Everyone in the hall laughed when they heard this, they didn't dare to say that Cai Dabao was greedy and self-conscious, but it was okay to laugh at it while there were more people.

Cai Dabao heard King Yueyang's ridicule and the ridicule of the crowd, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but after carefully looking at the young king a few times, he thoughtfully retreated to his seat

Make a sound.

Since Cai Dabao, who took the initiative to invite Ying, is not suitable, then naturally he has to continue to discuss the candidates.

King Yueyang proposed several candidates one after another, all of whom were members of his palace, but many of these retainers were shallow and did not have a good reputation. Although the officials of the state capital could see that King Yue Yang was eager to promote his henchmen, for the sake of the city's defense, they still used various reasons to implicitly reject these proposals.

Fortunately, the king of Yueyang was not angry about this, and he was still actively discussing the candidates with the masses, and finally decided to leave Fancheng with Sima Liu Fanggui.

Liu Fanggui has been in Yongfu for a long time, and he has a broad face and good prestige in Xiangyang. Since King Yueyang entered the town last year, he has also been courteous to these old people in Yongfu and relied on his strength, so that the situation is peaceful and orderly. At this time, it is naturally safest to leave the town of Fancheng.

After determining the candidate for the most central Fancheng guard, the rest of the personnel appointments were much easier, and soon the king of Yueyang carefully arranged the defense matters around Xiangyang. The reason why it is so efficient is also that King Yueyang has already instructed various armament matters before.

Towards the end of the meeting, another official of the state government suddenly asked, "Is it necessary to report the matter to Gangneung so that Gangneung can also be prepared and I will not lose the policy?"

King Yueyang's expression froze when he heard this, and only after a moment did he say in a deep voice, "It has not yet been determined whether the thief dares to attack, so there is no need to rashly disturb Jiangling. It's better to wait until things develop further, and then it's not too late."

After everything was arranged, King Yueyang returned to the nearest palace with his cronies.

Compared with the well-organized state capital, the palace is much more lively. When he heard that the king had returned to the palace, hundreds of disciples suddenly poured out of the palace to greet him.

These people are either strong and powerful, or there are some skills that no one can match, all of them are rangers and righteous warriors recruited by King Yueyang, although they do not take on specific tasks in the palace, but the orders of King Yueyang are carried out without discount, and they are also a considerable force under King Yueyang.

Today, because King Yueyang had something in his heart, he did not play idle with these protégés, and went straight into the middle hall, and then straightened his expression and bowed to Cai Dabao, who entered with him, and said at the same time: "When the state government was discussing matters before, it was quite rude and offensive to Cai joining the army, please don't be surprised to join the army."

Seeing this, Cai Dabao hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and then returned the salute deeply, and then said again: "The king wants to take advantage of this season to fix the personnel in the state?"

After hearing this, King Yue Yang nodded, and at the same time sighed, "Since I entered the palace last year, I have not had the idea of getting along with the people here, and I have also made many gestures of goodwill. I hate that the gangsters here bully me when I am young, and I seem to be respectful and arrogant inside. When the seven officials return to Jiangling, they will have more special arms! If I continue to dry up like this, what will be taken away is not only the right to conquer the northern Han Dynasty!"

Not to mention the enemy generals in the north who issued a letter of condemnation, King Yueyang himself was also extremely indignant at the fact that King Poyang led his troops to invade the north a few days ago.

When he went out of Xiangyang last year, he already had the power of the military affairs of the Han Prefectures such as Yongliang, but due to the death of Xiao Xu, the former Jingzhou Assassin and his fifth uncle Luling King Xiao Xu, the imperial court reverted to his seventh uncle Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, as the Jingzhou Assassin History, and by the way, he took away the military power of his capital governor to Xiao Yi, and even his own Yongzhou was subject to Jiangling's control.

What made him even more indignant was that when the enemy country Jingzhou was empty and unprepared, the imperial court did not attack with him, the nearby Yongzhou assassin, but instead transferred the military of Hanbei, the governor of Poyang King Xiao Fan, to be responsible for the conquest of the city.

Although Xiao Fan also returned in vain in the end, this situation of being ignored and seizing power several times also made him deeply indignant.

The king of Xiangdong is his elder, and the candidate for the conquest of Hanbei is designated by His Majesty the Emperor of Jiankang City, even if he is indignant, he is helpless, but the yang and yin of the people in Xiangyang are even more unbearable, and he wants to change.

heavy, how cold he is.

Now, taking advantage of the enemy's provocation, King Yueyang wants to take the opportunity to firmly control the scattered military power in his own hands, even if the enemy army attacks, he can also take the opportunity to suppress the local forces in Xiangyang.

After Cai Dabao listened to King Yueyang's plan, he sighed with a heavy face: "The soldiers are fierce, and they really can't be taken lightly. Although the king's plan is ingenious, once the war starts, there will be many accidents, and it may be difficult to forge ahead calmly."

"Although what I said about joining the army is reasonable, if there is a choice, of course I hope to be able to work calmly, but now it is not only thieves who are forcing me, it is really time for me to wait!"

Xiao Jing couldn't help but sigh again, their sons of the former prince seem to be noble, but in fact their identities are delicate, the emperor is preferential on the surface and estranged inside, and the current prince is also wary of their brothers, he may not have the shadow of the prince in the repeated robbery, although the king of Xiangdong is their elder, he is definitely not a benevolent and generous person.

Cai Dabao, as a confidant of King Yueyang, naturally knew that he was worried, and after hearing this, he didn't say anything more, and after discussing some details with King Yueyang, he got up and left.

When he came to the gate of the palace and was about to board the car to return home, the servant came in and told him that Li Renluo had come to visit and had been waiting at his house for a long time.

After Cai Dabao heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he muttered: "This Li Renluo is so concerned about the situation in northern Hanbei and visits several times a day, which is beyond the appearance of ordinary attention to current affairs. He is a member of the Li clan in Longxi, and I heard that the enemy general Li Boshan is also the same, so is there something hidden between them?"
