Even if Yuwentai, who was in Shudi, was in a remote corner and the news was blocked, he also knew about the plan of the Northern Qi Dynasty to plot Hanzhong, and finally withdrew from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, returned to Chengdu, and gathered his henchmen to conspire.

Ten years ago, Yu Jin was captured and beheaded, and Su Sui died of illness five years ago, although his arms were broken, but there are still many Wenchen generals under Yuwentai's command who can conspire with great things.

Nephew Wei Chi Hui proposed to guard Hanzhong with a general, and Yu Wentai personally led the main force to hibernate, once Xiao Lun and Xiao Yi raised troops, taking advantage of the fierce battle with Xiao Gang, they took advantage of the situation to go east from Chuzhou (Chongqing).

Because Gao Cheng had withdrawn the main military forces of the Jianghan Plain in order to reassure Xiao Lun and Xiao Yi to send troops, and Xiao Lun and Xiao Yi went to Jiankang to compete for the position, which would inevitably make Jingnan empty.

Now it is a God-given opportunity, which can sweep Jingxiang and become the point of Zhuge Wuhou's "Longzhong Pair", which crosses the trend of Jing and benefit.

Wei Chi Hui's suggestion was approved by Yu Wenshen, Dugu Xin, Li Hu and others, and Yu Wentai himself thought so, so he ordered Dugu Xin to go north to Hanzhong to defend, while he personally led Li Hu, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Yu Chi Hui and others to wait for the opportunity to go east.

The funeral of the Yuan Bao Torch of King Wei of Liang was handed over to his nephew Yuwen to handle.

Yuan Bao Ju died of illness some time later than Xiao Yan, and Yuwentai asked Jiankang for a decree, and Yuan Qin, the son of the King of Wei, inherited the title.

Yuan Qin complained about Yuwentai's power on weekdays, and his cronies persuaded Yuwentai to simply ask Jiankang to be the king of Shu, but he was reluctant to take this banner, and he still remembered to recapture the land of Guanlong, and still helped Yuan Qin to the throne of the king of Wei.

The twenty-six-year-old Yuan Qin is arrogant and arrogant, and he is destined to be unwilling to be a puppet, and he and Yuwentai will naturally not cooperate with each other like an ingots torch.

At the same time, in Guangzhou, Lingnan, Xiao Ji also went to Chen Baxian's military camp because of the imminent war in Jiangnan to discuss countermeasures with him.

Since Zhenlingnan, Xiao Ji and Chen Baxian have formed a situation where one person is in charge of the government and one person is in charge of the army, similar to the situation of the father and son of the Gao family in the early years.

Xiao Ji was also helpless, Chen Baxian was really brave.

Before Xiao Ji went out of Lingnan, Chen Baxian had already subdued all parts of Lingnan, including the large and small army leaders in Jiaozhou, and the barbarian tribes, and was afraid, and put down the Guangzhou rebellion twice.

Xiao Jikong has the military titles of Governor Guang, Gao, Xin and other Lingnan states, but all people from all walks of life only obey Chen Baxian's orders, and Xiao Ji can only be content with political affairs.

Chen Ba first heard that Xiao Ji was there in person, and hurriedly went out of the camp to greet him.

Although he holds the military power of Lingnan, at least at this time, he is quite deferential to Xiao Ji on the surface.

Chen Ba hurried to the outside of the camp gate first, saluted Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji helped him up, and the two of them put their arms into the tent.

"General Chen, now that my father is newly mourned, the crown prince has ascended the throne, seeing the disaster, the three brothers are about to fight in the same room, and I can't sleep all night, and I want the general to show me a way out."

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Ji asked urgently.

Chen Baxian was actually also paying attention to the situation in Jiangnan, and he had already planned in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to answer, but asked:

"The last general wants to hear the king's will."

Xiao Ji asked rhetorically when he heard this:

"What does General Chen mean by this?"

Chen Baxian laughed loudly:

"The ambition of the king is different, and there are different countermeasures for the matter of Jiangnan.

"If you only want to be called a vassal and a national barrier, then sit and watch the success or failure, no matter who wins or loses between Your Majesty and the two kings, before the two envoys went south, they promised the king, and the king sat back and enjoyed his success.

"If the king has the ambition to swallow the sky..."

At this point, Chen Baxian just stared at Xiao Ji and stopped talking.

Xiao Ji knew what Chen Baxian meant, he pondered for a long time, and finally said:

"Brothers are on the wall, ignoring the corpses, attacking each other with armor, and being a laughing stock, I didn't want to participate in it, but the three brothers are not the face of the master.

"Now there is Gao Cheng Eagle in the north who looks down on the wolf, harboring evil intentions, and has long had the intention of crossing the river, and Yuwentai in the west pretends to surrender, but in fact he is coveting the territory of my Daliang.

"The country is declining to this point, and Mingjun needs to cheer up, otherwise the hundreds of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River will become the people of the country sooner or later.

Chen Ba heard these words first, and bowed his head:

"The king has the ambition to help the world and save the people, and he is willing to drive forward for the king and overcome obstacles for the king."

Xiao Ji immediately helped Chen Ba up first, and promised him:

"If you are lonely, Xiao and Chen will share the world."

Xiao Ji's so-called Xiao and Chen, the world together, borrowed from the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the beginning of the establishment of Wang Dao in charge of the government, Wang Dun led the army outside, and the saying of 'the king and the horse share the world'.

But one mountain is still difficult to accommodate two tigers, how can a country be shared by two families, and then Wang Dun rebelled, and the army was defeated and died, which basically ended the political situation of 'king and horse share the world'.

Chen Baxian knew this, but it didn't prevent him from showing gratitude on his face.

Xiao Ji didn't forget to get down to business, he came here today to ask Chen Baxian.

In fact, Xiao Ji already had an idea in his heart, but it was Chen Baxian who held the military power, and he had to reach a consensus with him.

Chen Baxian sketched for Xiao Ji:

"The king still needs to stand still, and get along with His Majesty and the two kings, so that the two sides can let down their vigilance, and the snipe and clam will compete for the benefit of the fisherman, and the king will be at ease in Lingnan fisherman.

"When he is tired of fighting for a long time, if Jiankang is prosperous, he will send troops to Jiangdong, join forces with the two kings, first seek Jiankang, and then plan the two kings.

"If the two kings are strong, they will go north to Jingnan and cut off their back roads, and the soldiers under their command will be worried about their families and property, and the army's morale will inevitably be shaken, and they can go down the river, so that the great cause can be accomplished."

Xiao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he saw the picture of himself receiving the worship of hundreds of officials in Jiankang City, and the strategy he had thought about before was also left behind.

The extravagant thing of political credibility is something that Gao Cheng's kind of person with a big advantage should consider, and with a weak momentum, how can he succeed if he doesn't use extraordinary means.

Returning to the city of Guangzhou, Xiao Ji met with the envoys of Jiankang and Xiangzhou successively, and agreed to the conditions of both parties.

Soon, a slang rebellion broke out in Lingnan, Xiao Ji ordered Chen Ba to lead his troops to quell the rebellion, but there was no progress, and the envoys of the two sides saw that Xiao Ji was stuck in the quagmire of the slang rebellion and could not get out, so they also hurried back to restore their lives.

However, the slang leader Xian Ying, that is, Mrs. Xian, secretly joined Chen Baxian's command early on.

This is just a scene arranged by Chen Baxian, the envoys of Xiao Gang and Xiao Lun do not know the inside story, to be honest, the two parties really didn't pay much attention to the situation in Lingnan, and they were really deceived in the past.

In the original time and space, Xiao Ji went out to compete with Xiao Yi for the world, but was easily attacked by Yuwentai to take Shu, and now Xiao Lun and Xiao Yi intend to send troops to Jiankang and compete for the throne, but they don't know that Yuwentai and Xiao Ji and Chen Baxian are all showing their fangs behind them.

On March 11 of the fourth year of Zhengde (551), in the anticipation of Xiao Yan's sons, Gao Cheng issued an edict ordering Hu Lu Guangtong to have 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, and 20,000 Jingzhou sailors, and led the soldiers of Jingzhou Prefecture to recruit people on the spot, and went up the Han River to send troops to Weixing County of Liangzhou under the rule of Yuwentai.

He also ordered Di Gan to lead 30,000 foot soldiers, 20,000 sailors as backup, and only 10,000 sailors were stationed in Huaishui.

At the same time, he ordered Yongzhou to assassinate Shi Gaoji-style to lead 10,000 soldiers, and 20,000 state and county soldiers to go out of Chang'an, and marched west to Sanguan, making a big noise, wanting to disperse the defenders of Hanzhong to defend to the north.

Of course, Gao Cheng also has his careful thoughts, although the first battle of Hanzhong gathered 10,000 cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers, and 40,000 sailors, a total of 100,000 soldiers, and a number of state and county soldiers.

However, the main corps that really fought with him in the south and the north, the Gyeonggi soldiers did not make a transfer, and still obeyed orders in Luoyang, and fought with the idea of supporting the Jiangnan war situation at any time.

At the same time, he secretly ordered Hu Luguang and Di Gan, among the 40,000 sailors, 20,000 were not allowed to enter the battle, and must be on standby at any time.

As for the outcome of the battle of Hanzhong, Gao Cheng didn't care, it was certainly worth celebrating if he could win it, and it didn't matter the overall situation if he didn't capture it.

Jiangnan, especially Jingnan, is concerned by Gao Cheng, Yuwentai, and Xiao Ji, and a big fight is destined to occur here.

And Hu Luguang doesn't care whether Gao Cheng cares about the situation in Hanzhong or not, he is already thirty-six years old, has followed Gao Cheng for 20 years, and at the beginning he commanded Gao Cheng's cronies, and since the formation of the Gyeonggi Army, he has joined the army as a general.

Over the years, he has made many military achievements, but he has no real record of his own, when he led an army to assist in the defense of Guanlong, he just inspected Longyou to scare the lord of Tuyuhun back, and the battle of Anlu completely annihilated 30,000 elite soldiers under Liu Zhongli, which was also mostly considered to be Murong Shaozong's strategy.

Compared with Duan Shao's setting up ambush in Xuzhou to capture sheep and crows, and leading the cavalry with Peng Le and others to break the enemy in Bagong Mountain, Hu Luguang's general star is much darker.

Fortunately, he had a holy scroll with him, and this battle of Hanzhong allocated him a land and water army of 100,000, close to one-third of the country's soldiers.

Although Hu Luguang and Xi Digan each led 50,000 people, Gao Cheng also explained, with Hu Luguang as the main general, and his uncle Wei Digan as the deputy general, he divided the priorities for the two, and handed over the Hanzhong war to Hu Luguang to be responsible, and he would never do a micro-maneuver in Luoyang.

Hu Luguang received the order, and after being grateful, he immediately requisitioned the soldiers and people of the prefecture and county in Jingzhou, full of ambition to seize Hanzhong for Gao Cheng, even if there were 20,000 sailors who had to plan for the Gyeonggi soldiers to go south, they could only be used as decorations.

However, with 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 foot soldiers, there are still 20,000 sailors to support him, a total of 80,000 troops, more than 10,000 county soldiers, and 150,000 people's soldiers.

During this time, the number of spies operating in Xiangyang increased significantly, and Hu Luguang obeyed Gao Cheng's instructions in the secret letter, allowing them to spy on the news and pass on information.

On March 24 of the fourth year of Zhaode (551), the leader of the army arrived in Xiangyang to rendezvous with Hu Lüguang, and after nearly half a month of operation, Hu Lüguang was also ready to prepare for the expedition.

On March 25, Hu Luguang officially led his troops to march to Shangyong.
