Wang Hui lost his troops and failed to land, but it was a very simple matter for Li Zhen. Of course, they have different meanings from each other, and there is no analogy.

He first sent an envoy to swim ashore to express his demand, and after obtaining permission, he took a dozen retinues to approach the shore in a light boat, where Hou Andu, the general of the Liang army, personally waited, and sent Li Zhen all the way to Stone Town.

When Chen Baxian cooperated with the Jingzhou Military Government before, Li Zhen had followed the battle to capture Guangling, so he was quite familiar with Chen Baxian's generals. Now that the power of the King of Taiyuan is more powerful, these Southern Liang generals are becoming more and more polite to him, and they are not rude because he came with Wang Xuan.

However, when Li Zhen casually asked about the current situation in Jiankang and the land of Sanwu, Hou Andu talked about him left and right, and was unwilling to talk to him about these things, so he turned around and returned to the front line of Jiangfang outside the city after sending him to Stone City.

Chen Baxian has now replaced Wang Sengbi, temporarily taking Stone City as the office of his overlord, and he has been managing every day for several days, and it took a while to meet Li Zhen.

Because most of the changes in the situation in recent days have not been as expected, so that Chen Baxian's mood is also very bad, so when he saw Li Zhen, he didn't do anything polite, but said directly: "Li Dudu is here with Wang's son today, if you want to turn the situation around our country, then you will be disappointed!" Wang Seng argued that he was holding power for himself, harboring evil intentions, and intended to go against the feelings of the masses and reverse state affairs, so he was ambushed, and this matter was the verdict of the government and the opposition, and whoever conspired with it was also the enemy of our country!"

"Your country is fighting for power, and outsiders in the lower districts don't dare to make a beak. However, Wang Lang is the former official of the king of my family, and now he is looking for mercy in his family, and everyone has compassion, so some of his former colleagues also want to help each other. The death of father and brother, the great sorrow of people, and the difficulty of finding corpses inevitably make people more sad.

Chen Situ is now in power, and he must also uphold the heart of justice and leniency, no matter how heinous the old Wang Taiwei is, he has apologized to the world with his body and his sons. I implore Chen Situ to be grateful for humanity and return the corpses of Wang Taiwei and his sons, so that this filial son and brother can do their best."

Seeing that Chen Baxian's tone was blunt, Li Zhen stopped talking nonsense and directly explained his intentions. He never mentioned the right and wrong of Nanliang's power struggle, but only asked Wang Seng to defend the corpse of his father and son from the perspective of human feelings.

After Chen Ba heard this, he also fell silent, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "The king of Taiyuan in your mansion doesn't know what orders to give?"

Li Zhen shook his head after hearing this, saying that he came with Wang Xuan this time just to feel the friendship between them and help Wang Xuan return the remains of his relatives from a private standpoint.

"Although I have a deep enmity with the king of Taiyuan, I also admire him very much for setting up Jiangling and sowing benevolence. The former Taiyuan Wang Yong refused to be ordered by his superiors, and then became an autocratic Jiang Han trend. Now I want to save the life and prosper, and there are some things that I have to do. There are two kinds of things, and the intentions are the same, and if anyone thinks he is majestic and hinders me from working hard, he will only be able to use the sword and the arrow, and there will be no cowardice!"

Chen Ba thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "The remains of Wang's father and son, I can return them. But please also tell the king of Taiyuan, the former because of the chaos of the people who went to the north homesickness, I hope that the king of Taiyuan can feel the sad feelings of his relatives, can send the rebellious tourists back to the township as soon as possible, do not take pleasure in destroying people's feelings."

Although Chen Baxian did not take the thousands of allied troops such as Wang Xuan and Li Zhen in his eyes, he was not the only one facing the difficulties he was facing. Wuxing's Du Shrine is getting stronger and stronger, and Zhou Wenyu, who went to attack Weizai in Yixing County, is not going well, Chen Baxian has been planning to personally lead the army to the east to sweep away Sanwu recently, so Jiankang here also hopes that the situation can be stabilized as soon as possible.

Although the strength of Wang Xuan's team is not large, and it is difficult to cause substantial damage to Jiankang's defense, its frequent battles have always made the Jiankang situation unable to stabilize, and Chen Baxian has not been able to solve the troubles of all parties with all his might. Failure to resolve internal troubles before other, more powerful forces can make the situation even more sinister.

Wang Seng argued about the corpses of his father and son, and it was useless for him to keep them, and Li Zhen used human favor as a reason to make it difficult for him to refuse. Especially his blood nephews and many Southern Liang Shiliu are still in the hands of the Western Wei, although it is not appropriate for Chen Baxian to openly negotiate peace with the Taifu of Shannan Province at the moment, but he also does not want to make the relationship between them too bad, so that his sons and nephews may not have a return date.

Therefore, in addition to the corpses of Wang Sengbi's father and son, even Wang Sengzhi, the younger brother of Wang Sengbi, who had just been captured in the south of Jingkou, and some of the generals of the Wang family, Chen Baxian also generously let Li Zhen take him away.

It's not that he doesn't know the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and he wants to deliberately leave himself a huge hidden danger, just because he can't take care of it. And even Wang Seng was solved by him when he was there, as long as he could successfully solve the current disturbance and remain strong, he was not worried about how much harm these remnants of the Wang family could cause to him.

Of course, the most important thing for Chen Baxian to do this is to give the Shannan Provincial Government a face, so that Li Tai feels that there is a lot of room for discussion and cooperation between the two parties, and it is not necessarily necessary to fight to the end, so as to leave room for subsequent negotiations, after all, he also has roots in the hands of the other party!

When Li Zhen returned to Zhanggongzhou with the corpses of Wang Sengbi's father and son, as well as Wang Sengzhi and others, Wang Xuan and his soldiers couldn't help but burst into tears, and the whole army mourned for Wang Sengbi's father and son.

When Wang Xuan's mood calmed down a little, Li Zhen proposed to escort the coffins of Wang Shengbi's father and son back to Hefei for the time being, and it was meaningless to continue to stay here. Moreover, Xu Sihui, an old general, surrendered to the Northern Qi and attracted the Qi people to the south, and the Northern Qi army could arrive in Jiangbei at any time, and their team was afraid that it would not be enough to stuff people's teeth.

Although Wang Xuan hated it in his heart, he also understood that Li Zhen's proposal was the most practical. What's more, if Li Zhen hadn't come forward, he wouldn't even have seen the bones of his father and brother, let alone revenge.

As a result, they could only suspend their offensive against Jiankang, and the whole army turned around and headed upstream. Wang Xuan also changed out of the ink curtain, changed into normal mourning clothes, knelt in front of his father's coffin and wept incessantly, and the fierce linen flags on the ships made the sadness even more sad.

On the way back to the west, there were also soldiers and civilians of the Southern Liang on the south bank who rushed to the riverside to cry and beg to be able to take them with them, whether it was out of nostalgia for Wang Seng Biao or not optimistic about the future of the Southern Liang, they would rather leave their homeland than stay in Jiangdong.

When Li Zhen and his entourage arrived at Dongguan, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians from the Southern Liang who returned with them. Hefei has no shortage of experience in appeasing and relocating displaced people, and before the arrival of the cold winter and snowstorm, these soldiers and civilians were properly resettled in the territory.

At the same time, the order from the Xiangtai Mansion also arrived in Hefei, ordering the Hezhou Governor's Mansion to stick to Hefei and not to easily send troops to interfere in the civil strife in Nanliang.

Not long after this order arrived, the front men of the Northern Qi Dynasty also arrived at Zhongli, and a troop of ranger scouts arrived at the city of Hefei, and only left after a series of snooping around Hefei. Obviously, if the Northern Qi scouts detected the emptiness of Hefei's defenses, then a large army would arrive next.

Duan Shao of the Northern Qi Dynasty led the vanguard to the south, and his army was stationed in Zhongli for two days, and after understanding the current situation in Huainan, Duan Shao did not choose to go directly to Qin County to cross the river with the cooperation of the general Xu Sihui, but went straight from Zhongli to Guangling.

Guangling was attacked by Chen Ba first under Duan Shao's nose before, which has always made Duan Shao ashamed. Now, even if we don't take personal honor and disgrace as a consideration, under the condition that the Western Wei armies on the Hefei side hold on to the city with a conservative attitude, recapturing Guangling, an important town in the north of the Yangtze River, is also of great significance for the next step to continue to interfere in the situation of Southern Liang.

At this time, although the city defense of Guangling City is still the same, but the defenders have become very weak, the previous general Xu Du was ordered to lead the Guangling people to reinforce Jingkou because of the attack on Jingkou, so that the defending force was seven or eight out of ten, only Wu Mingche and other people who were originally at home in Jiangbei, and at the same time did not have the pre-Chen Ba to go to Jiankang to seize power.

With the arrival of the Northern Qi army, the soldiers and civilians in the city were also panicked, and Wu Mingche and others successively complained to Jingkou, but there was no trace of reinforcements. When he saw that the Qi army was getting closer and closer to the city, Wu Mingche couldn't help but be sad and indignant: "Chen Situ said that he would be loyal to righteousness and benevolence, but he turned out to be just a power-hungry person, who used my Jiangbei Erlang as livestock, and if he used it, he would feed it, and if he didn't use it, he would abandon it!"

When the Northern Qi Dynasty attacked Qin County before, Wu Mingche begged for the hope that he could lead his troops to rescue the township, but was rejected by Chen Baxian.

He has been squeezing this matter in his heart, although he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction clearly, but he also felt more or less that the reason why Wang Sengbi was forced to welcome Xiao Yuanming in Northern Qi was more or less with Chen

The attitude of the tyrant to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight is related.

Now Chen Baxian used this as an excuse to argue against Wang Sheng, and with the authority of Jiankang, he suddenly abandoned Guangling City, which he cherished very much, and also made Wu Mingche and other people in Jiangbei feel a sense of grief and indignation about being abandoned.

Although the initial battle was victorious, the enemy army was slightly forced to retreat, but with Duan Shao personally led the elite men and horses to besiege it, Wu Mingche suddenly couldn't fight, and could only fight and retreat, and had no choice but to flee to the west.

When Wu Mingche fled to Qinjun Township in defeat, before he entered the city, he saw that the banner of Northern Qi was already hanging on the city, and he couldn't help but feel even more sad and angry.

Helpless and desperate, Wu Mingche looked at the only hundreds of villagers around him, and could only sigh: "Go to Hefei, go to the King of Taiyuan, go to the King of Wei!" Hefei has a long righteous name, and there are many sympathies for my Huainan folks. If you seek refuge, there is still a time to return!"
