0892 Weeping Blood for Battle
In the city of Hefei, Quan Jingxuan was not surprised by Wang Xuan's arrival, and at the same time he already knew what happened in Jiankang, because Chen Baxian's envoy had also come to Hefei and was arranged by Quan Jingxuan to continue to Xiangyang.
When he heard that his subordinates had reported that Wang Xuan was coming to vote, Quan Jingxuan didn't think much about it and ordered people to be introduced into the state capital.
After a while, Wang Xuan, who was dressed in ink and heavy filial piety, was introduced into the hall, he bowed down to Quan Jingxuan, and before he could open his mouth, he couldn't help crying, and it took a while to restrain his emotions a little, and he choked up and said: "Wang's robbery of the remnants of the orphans visited the governor, and because of the Jiang as a defense, he did not obey the king's rule, and he suffered a catastrophe, and the door was slaughtered by thieves, but this one was spared, and he came to the poor to vote, and begged the governor to shelter and protect ......
"Wang Lang quickly excuse me, although the two sides were hostile before, but Wang Taiwei's achievements in Jiangzuo are also deeply admired by the world. It is really sad to be in this calamity. Since Wang Lang has voted here, I will not allow Jiangzuo to disturb my Hefei army and people!"
Quan Jingxuan looked at Wang Xuan's grief-stricken appearance, and he also comforted him.
Before Wang Xuan was stationed in Dongguan, although the two sides were also in a state of hostility, Wang Xuan has always felt the affection of the King of Taiyuan back then, and has always been cautious to restrain his subordinates, and there is no armed conflict with Hefei, and even cooperated to clean up the river bandits and land bandits around Chaohu Lake to help maintain law and order in the south of Hefei.
Although it is said that Hefei has not received any clear instructions from the Taiwan government on this matter at present, the king has come to vote for it, and Quan Jingxuan has accepted it righteously.
When Wang Xuan heard Quan Jingxuan's words, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic, but then he said, "The chief manager is righteous and sheltered, and his humble position should be satisfied and respectfully disposed of. However, the revenge of killing his father is not shared, the traitor Chen has newly entered Jiankang, the situation of the Liang country is uneasy, and the old family of the father will inevitably not obey his orders, and he begs the governor to give a brigade of elite troops to strengthen my momentum, and the humble duty is to drive and kill Xiang Jiankang, kill the thief, and set Jiankang, and the land of the three Wu is dedicated to the king, and the old people of the Liang country can also rely on the benevolence of the king!"
When Quan Jingxuan heard this, he frowned and groaned, and after a while, he looked at Wang Xuan again and said, "Wang Langxin has been in calamity, he must be extremely exhausted and tired from traveling, so he might as well rest in the mansion for a while. I also need to discuss this matter with the members of the common government, and no matter what the final decision is, I will definitely inform Wang Lang as soon as possible!"
Wang Xuan also knew that the previous military government acted and made decisions, and even a party leader like Quan Jingxuan could not act arbitrarily in major matters. Especially because of the Battle of Jiangling, the current Taifu is not in harmony with the remnants of the Southern Liang, and it is difficult for Quan Jingxuan to enter directly with his own request. So he could only nod yes, and then withdrew temporarily under the guidance of the government officials, and did not continue to entangle here, so as not to delay the discussion and decision-making of the governor's office.
After Wang Xuan was introduced, Quan Jingxuan summoned Dugutun, Lu Guangda, Li Zhen and other members of the governor's mansion to continue to discuss this matter.
When Chen Baxian's envoy came to Hefei before, the governor's office discussed this matter, and the decision at that time was that before the Xiangtai Mansion had a clear instruction on this, they were still safe here in Hefei, and cautiously kept themselves out of the chaos.
But now the situation is different, because Wang Xuan came to vote and was willing to serve as a pioneer, so that they had the opportunity to deeply participate in the chaos of Jiankang. And what Wang Xuan said is indeed not unreasonable, now Nanliang must have been in a mess, with Wang Xuan, the son of Wang Sheng, to lead the way, it is also an opportunity for them to make a big deal with small things.
Therefore, several people like Dugutun, Li Zhen and others all agreed to agree to Wang Xuan's request to borrow troops, taking advantage of the chaotic situation in Nanliang and adding a fire, while obtaining some personnel benefits, they could also add chaos to Chen Baxian, and control the chaotic situation without letting his people go too smoothly.
However, Quan Jingxuan, as the governor of Hezhou, considered the issue more comprehensively, and he frowned and muttered: "Now that Nanliang has undergone such a drastic change, not only are we ready to move, but the Eastern Thief will inevitably be greedy. Before his country's army came south, coercing Wang Seng to defend and welcome Xiao Yuanming, and now the puppet dynasty that his country abolished and supported was subverted by Chen Baxian, how could the Qi people give up? This country is full of tigers and wolves, once the army comes south, I am afraid that the people who want to devour it are not only the people of Jiangnan, if I know that I am weak, I will inevitably turn to the war to attack!"
After hearing this, a few people who were actively asking for war heard this
, and couldn't help but fall silent. Although they have more than 10,000 garrisons in Hefei, but because they are located in the heart of Huainan and are far away from Shannan Province, the defensive pressure has always been not small.
Lu Guangda, who had a deeper understanding of the personnel of Southern Liang, also said: "It is indeed not easy for Chen Baxian to calm down the situation of the masses, especially in the upper reaches of Jiangzhou, there is a greedy person like Wang Lin. Once Wang Lin goes down the east of the river, our Jiangzhong division and brigade will also be attacked by the enemy and will not be able to advance or retreat. The army is coming out, and I am afraid it is not a good plan!"
"But now that the situation in Nanliang is in turmoil, there will inevitably be people fleeing in all directions. Hefei has a proximity to the geographical advantage, if I can't show it, people think I am cowardly, I am afraid that I will not go to the attachment again, and miss this opportunity in vain!"
Although the difficulties and dangers raised by Quan Jingxuan and Lu Guangda are real, it is really unpleasant to think that they are stationed in Hefei and so close to the turmoil, and the result is that they only have nothing to gain from the city.
At this time, Li Zhen also spoke: "Wang Lang's family has suffered a huge disaster, and he is extremely sad, and his intention must be sincere and selfless. However, if you want to win Chen Baxian with this, it is still unlikely. Wang Seng argued that there would be no shortage of loyal and righteous people in Jiangdong for a long time, so it was better to send a brigade to go straight along the river and patrol the waterways. If the situation is scattered and difficult to gather, it is not bad to collect some scattered forces to retreat to Dongguan, which is also a self-improvement strategy!"
After such a compromise plan was proposed, it was also recognized by everyone present, and after thinking about it, Quan Jingxuan ordered Li Zhen to lead a thousand elite soldiers to gather with Wang Xuan and then go to Jiankang by boat, Dugutun led 2,000 men and horses into the Dongguan waterway, and at the same time Lu Guangda quickly returned to Jinxi and other places to gather people and horses to prepare to aid Hefei at any time. Before the Taiwan government gave instructions, such an arrangement could be regarded as both offensive and defensive.
When this plan was told to Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan's mood was also mixed, a thousand reinforcements were only better than nothing for him, even if he added his own troops, there were only more than 6,000 people, so it was almost impossible to defeat Chen Baxian.
But he also understands that Hefei also has defensive pressure, and he is willing to send troops to support him at the first time, which is already an expression of attitude. With Shannan Province Taifu standing behind him, it also made him feel a lot more confident.
So after bidding farewell to Quan Jingxuan, Wang Xuan led Li Zhen's thousand reinforcements back to Dongguan, and then reorganized the boat division, entered the Yangtze River along the mouth of the river, and then killed all the way to Jiankang.
When the boat division rushed out of the Hengjiang River and arrived at Zhanggongzhou, there were still hundreds of soldiers left behind in this Jiangzhou stronghold, and after learning that Wang Xuan led the army to kill back, these guards were also very determined, and they were busy welcoming Wang Xu's team into Jiangzhou.
Successfully landed on Zhang Gongzhou, which gave Wang Xu's revenge journey a better start, but the next situation was not so smooth.
At this time, ten days have passed since Chen Ba first killed back to Jiankang, and the situation in Jiankang City has initially stabilized, when Wang Xuan led his troops to land and kill Stone City, he was met with stubborn resistance from Hou Andu, the defender of this time, and he could not land in several fierce battles, but injured a full 2,000 soldiers.
Wang Xuan's troops are not much, and he has suffered heavy losses after a desperate attack, even the soldiers are loyal and want to avenge the Lord, but the huge gap in strength also makes people have to pay attention, if they continue to fight like this, they are afraid that it will be difficult to kill the whole army into Stone City.
So Wang Xuan could only retreat to Zhang Gongzhou for the time being, and then sent an envoy to Qin County, hoping that Xu Sihui of Qin County could send a boat division to attack Jiankang with him, but he was told that Xu Sihui had surrendered to Northern Qi, and instead invited Wang Xuan to go to Qin County, join him in Northern Qi, and wait for the Northern Qi army to come south before making plans.
At this time, Wang Yu's heart was full of anger, and he did not want to miss any opportunity to avenge his father, and when he heard Xu Sihui's envoy tell people that the Northern Qi army would come south soon, he also secretly had other plans in his heart.
He invited Li Zhen into the military tent, and only after a long time did he say that he wanted to switch to the Northern Qi Dynasty to counterattack Jiankang, and asked Li Zhen to lead his troops away, and the Dongguan Waterway was regarded as his capriciousness and compensation to the Taifu of Shannan Province.
"Wang Lang is so foolish! Under the command of the old king, is it all this kind of evil trick that is blind! There is no shortage of old people who defect to the East Thief, Guo Yuanjian and others are safe now? The eastern thief recruited you and others just to be the minions of the south, how could they let their henchmen be left to their henchmen?"
When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but point at Wang Xuan and scolded angrily, and then sighed again: "There are not many heirs left in the royal family, does Wang Lang really want to cut off your family heirs? If you believe me, I will personally go to Jiankang to retrieve the corpses of your loved ones for you, and as for the victory or defeat, I will make a decision in the next day, which is better than putting you in the plan of the tiger and the wolf of all the people!"
When Wang Xuan heard this, he couldn't help crying to the ground, drew his saber and stabbed it in his arm, and cried out in his mouth, "Wang Xuan can't avenge his father, it's really a son of man in vain! In the past, he entrusted his life with his life, and he repeated the plan, and he was even more vain! For the rest of his life, in addition to avenging his father, he will swear to repay Li Hou's great kindness!"
Li Zhen knew that he was not thinking clearly when he was agitated, so he stepped forward and snatched the saber from his hand to prevent him from harming himself again, and said: "You don't have to think hard about revenge, the king is determined to swallow the world, as long as you follow your subordinates and work loyally and diligently, you will be able to take revenge one day!"
