Chapter 740: Infighting in Xiangyang City

The blue sea is wide and the sky is wide, and there is no smoke in the sky!

At the confluence of Poyang Haikou and Tianhe, there is a famous building in the top three of the emperor's country, the world downstairs, this downstairs, is located on the narrow peninsula that explores into the Tianhe, standing in the north of the building, you can see the Tianhe water of the vast soup, the waves are rolling eastward.

Standing in the south of the building, you can see the eight thousand miles of Boyang Sea, the magnificent and boundless lake, and standing in the west of the building, the Poyang sea lake and the river intersect, lapping the shore foundation, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, it is more to make people feel the impact of a **, and standing in the east of the building, you can see the ten miles away, the big city under the sun, Xiangyang.

Tianxialou is like a guard, loyal and fearless standing at the intersection of rivers and lakes in this undercurrent, Tianxialou is like an old man who understands life, overlooking this river and lake, sunrise and sunset.

The history of the world floor has more than 700 years, by the Tang Dynasty nine Danjiang Festival degree to make Wu Hao supervise, the beginning of the establishment of the world tower, is not a famous building for the purpose of viewing the scenery, but a large watchtower that monitors the water surface of the Tianhe River and Poyang Haikou, before and after two major repairs, the last overhaul is three hundred years ago, and now the world downstairs is also formed after the last overhaul.

There are nine floors in the world upstairs, it is an octagonal lantern tower, each side is 20 meters long, the whole tower is as high as 11.7 zhang from the top of the tower to the base of the tower, in addition to the tower itself is built on the hillside of a peninsula and hills, the height is 16 zhang, standing at the highest place of the tower under heaven, can overlook the north of the Tianhe River, and the waters around the mouth of Poyang Sea.

The Holy Sect army rose up, and for a time Chuzhou was shattered, and the three prefectures of western Chu fell, and the Poyang Sea Army, which was located on the south side of Poyang Sea, was also directly attacked by the Holy Sect army, and had to move its garrison away from the interior.

At the end of last year, Li Tang's army moved frequently, and finally launched a battle to cross the river, but it landed from Guangling, Dongchang Province, but it was thousands of miles away from Xiangyang, and in the following two months, Li Tang's army was like a broken bamboo, and the counties of Xiaoxiang Prefecture also fell one after another, but Poyang Mansion was not attacked.

However, there is Li Tang in the east and the Holy Sect in the southwest, but Poyang Mansion was divided, and it gradually broke off from the Vermilion Bird Mansion.

At the beginning of February, the remnants of the Poyang Sea Army merged with the Xiangyang Water Army and were stationed in the inlet outside Xiangyang City.

Tianxialou has now become the base camp of the two major naval armies, but Lu Xun and Yue Fei have not stayed in the city for a day since they were stationed in Xiangyang.

"I really can't bear it anymore, we work hard, here to guard Xiangyang, but the group of turtle suns in the city has cut off our army food, two division commanders, you still have the heart to play chess, although the food and grass in our army is not very short, but it won't last long!"

Gan Ning, a big man who was born as a water thief, went directly to the roof of the building in the world in a rage, sat directly on the side of the two bosses sitting there and played against each other, and muttered loudly, obviously going to the city to suffer a lot of anger.

Lu Xun turned his head and glanced at Gan Ning, but said with a smile: "I think it's your fiery temper, and you need to choke on it!"

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "It's really none of my business this time, I don't believe you asked General Yang!" Gan Ning heard the footsteps coming from the stairs, saw that it was Yang Zaixing, and immediately pulled the conversation over.

Yang Zaixing went upstairs, blowing the gentle water breeze, his face was also a little solemn, Yue Fei and Lu Xun looked at it, and they felt a little bad: "What is going on in the city, how can we suddenly cut off our grain and grass!"

Yang Zaixing directly found a chair and sat down, and then said: "Things are a little troublesome, the group of guys in the city has caused infighting, the granary is now occupied, the other party is not trying to cut off our grain and grass, but the whole city's grain and grass are controlled by the other party! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Yang Zaixing did not hide it, and told him what he had heard, the situation in Xiangyang City was indeed a bit complicated, during the "chaos" in Xiangyang, the ten major families in Xiangyang City were killed and injured, and only a few descendants outside were spared.

At that time, Chuzhou was peaceful, and Chuzhou was strong and powerful, so the prospects of Xiangyang City were promising, and there were many people who drilled camps in it, Leng Zhuo in order to get the military power, but he transferred most of the interests of Xiangyang City, and he just "inserted" Yue Fei's naval army to garrison Xiangyang, and also supported a number of remaining small and medium-sized forces in Xiangyang City.

The Huang family seized the position of the lord of Xiangyang City, and Chen Nan was not far behind, but he occupied the Xiangyang garrison, in addition, there were many Chuzhou clans also mixed in, there were Shi family headed by the Huang family, the Gong family, and some families headed by the Chen family.

Among these four forces, the local family in Xiangyang undoubtedly occupies the home advantage, and Leng Zhuo paved the way from it in the early stage, but it captured the biggest piece of cake, at the beginning, the four major forces were relatively peaceful, after all, they had to digest what they had gained before, but soon the Huang family was not satisfied with the status quo, and began to squeeze the other Quartet forces, but this kind of struggle is still going on in secret, and it is still under control.

However, with the change of the situation in Chuzhou, Chen Nan was defeated in western Chu, and after that, the three prefectures in western Chu and the four prefectures in northern Chu fell, and a large number of nobles and nobles became independent, but the Huang family used these opportunities to begin to occupy the interests of the city, and gradually controlled most of the interests of Xiangyang.

And in this way, the Huang family is still not satisfied, this time in the name of collaborating with the enemy Li Tang, to attack the Qian family of Guangling Mansion, because of the fall of Guangling Mansion, the Qian family as the wang clan of Guangling Mansion has suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, before this, a lot of money was invested in Xiangyang, buying a lot of industries in Xiangyang City, and there is also a guard army funded by the Qian family in Xiangyang.

Before the Huang family's action, the rumors were leaked, and the Qian family, in order to protect themselves, directly pulled the soldiers and horses that the Qian family could control, and forcibly occupied the granary, and the matter of the Qian family was like an introduction, and soon the rush expanded rapidly, and those who were dissatisfied with the Huang family gathered together, and now they are in the city with the Huang family's soldiers and horses, and a confrontation situation has been formed outside the city.

"This Huang Wei is also too greedy, he has done everything possible to suppress other forces before, and he has used everything to coerce and lure, and he doesn't want to think about what the situation is now!" Yue Fei was the most blind to this kind of thing, and naturally he didn't have a good impression of Huang Wei.

Lu Xun chuckled, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said: "This Huang Wei is actually quite scheming, and he is very good at using changes in the situation to achieve his own goals, since last year, the Huang family has touched the interests of other forces several times, but every time it has been successful!"

"The power of the Chen family was no worse than that of the Huang family, but now, the garrison of the Chen family is now almost unable to grasp the military power, and there is not much right to speak in the city.

"Even those Xiangyang families and wealthy families supported by the young master were also pressed by the Huang family to pay compensation for self-protection, and the Qian family was also 'forced' ruthlessly, and the head of the Qian family was not a weak master, he actually dared to directly mobilize the soldiers, and also contacted those miserable forces who were suppressed by the Huang family in a short period of time, otherwise the Qian family would not be able to make such a big storm even if they made trouble!"

"And the Huang family can control the military and political power of Xiangyang City step by step, I estimate that "touch" is right, this time, the Huang family is looking at the military power, and now the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City are also a hodgepodge, on the table, that is, the soldiers and horses of the 8,000 python legions to which the Huang family belongs, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Vermilion Bird Legion to which the Chen family belongs. ”

"The number of garrisons is 30,000, the Huang family has attracted some of them, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are ostensibly obeying the garrison, but the Chen family can't hold the scene, the Huang family has already won enough strength before, and naturally began to attack the military power, the Qian family is just the first step of the Huang family's action, once the Huang family controls enough military power, they will attack the two brigades of Suzaku, and then I am afraid that it will be us!"

"With forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses in hand, occupying the Xiongcheng Xiangyang, and holding two naval armies, the strength of the Huang family is enough to stand on its own as the king, no matter what the victory or defeat of the Vermilion Bird Mansion is, the Huang family is enough to be invincible!" Lu Xun analyzed little by little.

"The Huang family has a good calculation, but he definitely didn't expect that this Qian family is a hard bone, and he actually resorted to such drastic methods!" Yue Fei was very displeased with this kind of struggle for power, but he didn't understand that famous generals not only won on the battlefield, but also made achievements in the court: "What should we do now? There is internal strife in the city, but the happy ones are the rebels, and the unlucky ones are us!"

Lu Xun shook his head and said: "It's difficult, but we don't have to be too eager, I estimate that if we 'touch' and stalemate for a while, someone will come to invite us, but how to deal with the aftermath is a big problem, if it is not handled well, it is a big bomb, even if Xiangyang is strong, it can't bear it!"

Yue Fei also nodded, this outbreak is accumulated over time, not a sudden outbreak, and if they want to straighten out the relationship between Xiangyang City, they are not qualified, and even the two marquis in Vermilion Bird City are not good, the young master may be a candidate, and the emperor Qincha is also a candidate, but it is not realistic to invite these two people to Xiangyang, compared to the decisive battle that has been brewing in Vermilion Bird City, Xiangyang City can only be regarded as a trivial matter.

"Report, on the surface of the Tianhe River, a large number of sails were found to be down the river, and it seems that there are no less than three or four hundred!" There was silence on the top floor, and it was obvious that several people were feeling a headache about the situation in Xiangyang, and at this moment, a series of footsteps came from the sound of pedaling, and a personal guard stepped forward quickly to report.

"Oh!" Hearing this, several people suddenly stood up unable to sit still, they were already on the top floor of the Tianxia Building, directly picked up the binoculars, and looked towards the river in the northwest direction.

Lu Xun and Yue Fei looked at each other from afar, and glanced at each other: "Order, the navy will immediately leave the bay and form near Haikou!"
