Wancheng, with Liu Biao's confession, this time the Nanyang war is over, and the next thing is to reorganize the army and Nanyang governance and rescue Runan.

Nanyang was too guarded, and Wei Xuan chose Dong Zhao, who was on standby in Luoyang. This has been the Taishou of Julu and the Taishou of Weijun, and his fame and qualifications are enough. At the same time, Wei Xuan transferred one of his clan brothers, Wei Pin, to Nanyang, commanding three thousand county soldiers, responsible for the security around Wancheng and the management of Tuntian. The other commanders of Nanyang counties need to be replaced slowly.

Wang Dan of Jinyi Wei Qianhu made great contributions this time and was promoted back to Luoyang to serve as the envoy of Jinyi Wei, and will be mainly responsible for intelligence collection and official investigation in Guanzhong and Liangzhou for a period of time in the future. Wang Dan's general Ji Gang took over as Nanyang Qianhu Qianhu. This is also the first time that Wang Dan has officially stepped into the front stage after three years. The reason why Wei Xuan wanted to do this was also to completely crack down on the Imperial Guild that was deeply rooted in Nanyang County. In just a few days after Wei Xuan arrived in Wancheng, Wang Dan led the brocade guards to almost turn the emperor of Nanyang upside down.

It was also the first time that many wealthy families in Nanyang had heard of the grievances between the Emperor and Wei Xuan, and some of those who were closer to the Emperor were so worried that they could not wait to find people all day long???????????????? pleaded, and none of the heads of the wealthy families or core members of the family who had joined the emperor Hu escaped the net, and all of them were liquidated by Wang Dan. The entire Nanyang family power is about to face a reshuffle with Wei Xuan's accession.

This time, Wei Xuan was not as merciful as in Yingchuan and Sanhe, because this time there were a lot of troops used, and the losses were also very large, and Nanyang also needed a large number of fields to provide food and grass for these eliminated captives to provide food and grass for future conquests. The wool is out of the sheep, and in the past, Yuan Shu gave preferential treatment to those members of the Emperor Guild, but when Wei Xuan came, he naturally wanted to set up the chaos anyway, which was also within the acceptable range of the people. It's really a few joys and a few sorrows.

Wei Yanbu, who guarded the Nanyang army, expanded the army to 15,000 people, and Wen Ping, Li Yan, Wang Zhao and other local captains in Nanyang stayed in Nanyang. The focus of this department's prevention will be Hongnong's Xiliang Army and the mountain bandits in the southwest. As for Liu Biao in the south, these forces were not enough, and they had to be redeployed after the end of the war in Runan.

Le Kai joined the Taishi Ci Department as a captain and led 3,000 troops, Li Feng joined Xu Rongbu as a captain to lead 3,000 troops, and 30,000 people in the two divisions approached Runan along Wuyin and Biyang. This road can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and for a long time it was mainly to defend against the enemy in the direction of Runan.

Wei Xuan took his headquarters cavalry and Zhang Fei's 3,000 heavy cavalry back to Kunyang along Fang Chengshan.

Two days later, Wei Xuan returned to Kunyang, and then Xi Zhicai briefly told Wei Xuan about the new changes in the Runan battlefield during this time.

As expected, the first thing Yuan Shu did after arriving in Runan with Zhang Xun and other 15,000 Nanyang elites was to frantically loot land and explode troops. In just over ten days, Zhang Xunbu changed from 15,000 to 30,000. And at a rate of increasing by two or three thousand per day, conscription is being carried out from the western and southern counties of Runan.

Subsequently, 30,000 Ji Ling, 15,000 Lu Bu, and 30,000 Zhang Xun lined up between Pingyu and Zhengyang, preparing to storm Pingyu. Among them, Lu Bu is in Xincai, Ji Ling is in Xinxi, and Zhang Xun is in Zhengyang, and the three parts present a semi-circular arc to block the southeast to southwest of Pingyu.

In the east, Tao Qian quickly occupied Peiguo after Cheng Pu's retreat, and continued to approach Runan, making a posture to completely defeat Runan Sun Ce.

Although Sun Ce was listed by Wei Xuan as a new history of assassination with the state, firstly, he was young and lacking in hope, and secondly, his father Sun Jian was also a martial artist and his foundation in Runan was not solid, so Zhou Yu's advice to him was to wait for an opportunity to evacuate from Runan to the south of the Lujiang River.

Sun Ce gathered the remnants of Runan and Cheng Pu to retreat from Peiguo, and there were still more than 20,000 people in Pingyu City. In addition, Zhao Yun's more than 6,000 light cavalry cruised between Ruyang and Wufang, if Sun Jian was still there, he could indeed hold on. The young Zhou Yu was more utilitarian, and in the face of the brave Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Tao Qian, he chose to evacuate.

Of course, Sun Ce also has another choice, that is, to completely rely on Wei Xuan, so that after integrating into Wei Xuan's strategic system, whether he sticks to Pingyu or retreats, he will be escorted by Zhao Yun's cavalry.

But Sun Ce seems to be younger and more vigorous, and it is not as completely different as the relationship between Sun Jian and Wei Xuan after attaching himself to Yuan and forming an alliance with Wei Xuan.

Of course, in order for Sun Ce to leave, he did not hide Wei Xuan, and he sent people to send letters to Zhao Yun and Wei Xuan of Kunyang respectively. When Wei Xuan returned to Kunyang, Sun Ce's letter had already been delivered for two days.

About???????????????? Sun Ce made such a decision, Wei Xuan could only smile bitterly, the feelings of the troubled times were fought on the battlefield, Sun Jian was bent on going up, so he was very persistent in the crusade against Dong Zhuo and like-minded with Wei Xuan, and now there are not many common interests that can connect Sun Ce and Wei Xuan.

However, Wei Xuan still wanted to try it, so he sent someone to inform Zhao Yun to prepare for battle, and on the other hand informed Sun Ce of the battle situation in Nanyang, saying that Xu Rong and Tai Shici would be able to reach the Runan battlefield in five days at most. And Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's two cavalry can be put into the battlefield at any time, so even if Yuan Shu and Lu Bu have seventy or eighty thousand people, plus Tao Qian's soldiers and horses, the four or five sides will fight a decisive battle in Runan, and Sun Ce, who adheres to Pingyu, and Wei Xuan, who has many cavalry, still have a very good chance of winning.

But Sun Ce still chose to go south, so Wei Xuan had no way to force it, according to his current strength around Runan, once Sun Ce withdrew, Wei Xuan could only let all the troops withdraw from Runan. Although the current combat effectiveness of Wei Xuan's army is not afraid to single out Tao Qian, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, the logistics cannot keep up, especially the cavalry, although it is very cool, but the consumption of grain and grass is too great, and Wei Xuan is currently in the center of the Han Dynasty, and he has to shrink when he meets the enemy on all sides.

Of course, Wei Xuan was not willing to watch Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and others divide the original Sun Jian's territory, and Fa Zheng volunteered to go to Xincai to lobby Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu heard that Wei Xuan's subordinate Fa Zheng asked to see him, he was also very surprised. However, although Fa Zheng is young, he has a very good grasp of people's hearts: "Wen Hou is already a former general in Chang'an. Now although he was defeated by Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, it was not sent by Yuan Shu at will by a general, that Yuan Shu did not think of his family and hated the country, Wen Hou attacked Jiangxia for him, but he praised Wen Hou as the assassin of Yanzhou, if it was not for Sun Yuzhou being seriously injured by Wen Hou, Wen Hou is afraid that it is difficult to say when he will be able to see Yanzhou.

I heard that Tao Gongzu had included Peiguo in his bag, Yuan Shujin Cicada came out of his shell and exchanged Nanyang for Runan, I don't know where the general lives? ”

Lu Bu frowned, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian had sworn that he was the assassin of Yanzhou, and promised to send him to Yanzhou. Now judging from the battle between Yuan Shu and Wei Xuan in Nanyang, unless Yuan Shu is willing to go all out and use Ji Ling to open the way in front of the Liang State or the Chen State, of course, it is also possible to pass through the Lu State from the Pei State. But obviously Tao Qian will not take the initiative to give up Peiguo. Yuan Shu's Runan also spent a long time staying.

Although he was a little worried in his heart, he didn't agree with what Fa Zheng said: "I don't know why Wei Zhongdao sent a young man like you here?" ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Wenhou Mingjian, it was Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in Chang'an who made Wenhou fall like this, looking at the Kanto, only General Zuo can avenge Wenhou Xuesha." Wen Hou's Ming Lord Yuan Shu has forgotten the family hatred and national hatred, Dong Zhuo was indifferent to his Chang'an clan at the beginning, Wen Hou Mo still thinks that he can avenge you, or can he allow you to become bigger? ”

Lu Bu was silent, although Fa Zheng's words were not good, but he had been in contact with Yuan Shu for a long time and knew that Yuan Shu was simply using him. Now that the battle in Runan is about to be decided, it's time to think about where you belong. But he couldn't ask people just when he met him, so he said lightly: "I don't know why this little gentleman taught me?" ”

Fa Zheng thought for a while: "If there is chaos today, it is a good time for Wen Hou to make contributions, since Yuan Shu is ???????????????? Table Wenhou is the assassin of Yanzhou, and then Wenhou should lead his troops to Yanzhou. However, now Yanzhou is occupied by Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others, and Wen Hou is afraid that he can only lurk temporarily, such as Peiguo, such as Chen Guo, and then Lu Guo......"

Lu Bu's eyes widened, of course he didn't think that Fa Zheng provided him with so many choices, Peiguo would not take the initiative to let it out when it was occupied by Tao Qian, and Chen Guo and Sun Jian did not occupy it when he was there, and now his fifteen thousand people may be able to forcibly occupy it, but Zhang Miao in the northwest, Wei Xuan in the southwest, Cao Cao in the northeast, Yuan Shu in the south, and Tao Qian in the east. Such a geographical location can only be attached to Yuan Shu.

But if you go to the Lu State, it will be different, Liu Bei, who occupies the Lu State, once followed Gongsun Zhan, and later followed Wei Xuan, and then took the initiative to break away from the alliance of Wei Xuan and Sun Jian to join Tao Qian and Yuan Shu.

After Cheng Pu withdrew from Peiguo, Liu Bei also tried to occupy several county towns in Peiguo, but Tao Qian certainly wouldn't let him get his wish, so the cooperation between the two sides ended here. If Lu Bu and Liu Bei clashed, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian would be happy to see it.

Seeing that Lu Bu went from contemplation to gradual enlightenment, Fa Zheng struck while the iron was hot: "If Wen Hou wants to go north, my lord is willing to persuade Sun Ce to make way out." ”

Lu Bu looked at Fa Zheng with wide eyes again, and the amount of information in the West was also very large. However, Lu Bu still asked: "Didn't Mr. Xiao joke about a certain family?" ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "I am here on order to open the way for Wen Hou." ”

Lu Bu stared at Fa Zheng and asked, "Really?" ”

Fa Zheng smiled and nodded: "I am still going to tell Wen Hou a top-secret information, Wen Hou must go north as soon as possible, otherwise he may be forced to Jiangxia by Yuan Shu in the end." ”

Lu Bu originally believed in Fa Zheng, but Fa Zheng was a bit tricky like this, and Lu Bu was a little shaken again.

Then he heard Fa Zheng say word by word: "General Zuo has recognized that Sun Ce is about to lead his troops south to the Lujiang River, and he will withdraw from the Runan battlefield." ”

Lu Bu didn't remember the first time he was startled by the little gentleman in front of him. But if Sun Ce wants to run, then Wei Xuan must retreat, so that the dust will settle on the Runan battlefield.
