Cai Mao withdrew his troops to Chaoyang overnight, and Lu Jie also retreated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Chen and Gan Ning immediately emptied Xinye and transferred everyone to the Yellow Gate Pavilion to hold on.

And when Shen Chen and Cai Mao were entangled in the north, the south was also acting at this moment.

In the Han Dynasty, the seat of Changsha County was called Linxiang County, which was not the Linxiang City of later generations, but the ancient city of the city center of Changsha City in later generations.

During the Sui Dynasty, Linxiang County was changed to Changsha County, and since then Linxiang has become Changsha.

At this moment, outside Linxiang County, Changsha County, there is an army, along the right bank of the Xiangjiang River, slowly heading towards Linxiang County in the north.

Near the city gate, they could already see from a distance that the gate outside the city gate was wide open, and someone was greeting them.

"General Yuan, but there is an abnormality, you know the result."

Yuan Long, the Zhonglang general sent by Cai Mao to take over Liu Pan's troops, was on horseback at this time, surrounded by soldiers on his left and right.

A gray-bearded veteran next to him looked at him with a fierce look on his face, making Yuan Long like a thorn in his back and sweating like rain.

"I know, I know."

Yuan Long nodded hurriedly, this old killing god really couldn't be provoked by himself.

As he spoke, they had already come to the outside of the city, and Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, greeted him, saw Yuan Long, and arched his hand and said, "General Yuan!" ”

"Han Fujun."

Yuan Long turned over and dismounted, bowed his hand and saluted back: "I will go north on the order of the Taiwei this time, and I will trouble the king." ”

"It's all within the scope of things, so why bother."

Han Xuan was still very polite, and sighed at the end: "It's an eventful autumn, I didn't expect the first emperor to go suddenly, and the eldest prince was not angry, which caused civil strife in Jingzhou." ”

Yuan Long said: "This is also a matter of no choice, the above fight each other, those of us who are subordinates are just listening to orders." ”

In fact, these words were not only for Han Xuan, but also for Huang Zhong, who was holding a big knife next to him, and Liu Pan, who was hiding behind.

At the beginning, Cai Mao was involved in Yue and planned to send Yuan Long to replace him immediately before Liu Pan knew the news, but Shen Chen made the first move and asked Liu Qi to write a letter to Zhuge Liang and persuaded Liu Pan.

As soon as Yuan Long arrived in Liling, Liu Pan originally wanted to control him first, but Zhuge Liang used a trick to stabilize Yuan Long, and when Yuan Long thought that the handover was smooth, he sent the people sent by Cai Mao Yue back to report the news, and then immediately took him down.

Cai Mao Yue sent someone to follow Yuan Long over, and the man saw with his own eyes that Yuan Long had successfully obtained the military power sigil, thinking that it was done, and went back to report Cai Mao Yue, but no one knew that Yuan Long had been caught by Liu Pan, and the previous replies to them were all written by Yuan Long.

Therefore, until now, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue have been kept in the dark, thinking that the entire Jingnan is controlled by them, but they don't know that in addition to the Taishou of the four places, the most important forces are either in the hands of Liu Qi or Liu Bei, and Jingnan has already become a sieve.

At this moment, Yuan Long naturally wanted to live, so he obediently obeyed. Anyway, for him, whether he is loyal to Liu Cong or Liu Qi, he is always the heir of Liu Biao and the descendants of the first emperor, so of course there is no betrayal.

When Han Xuan heard Yuan Long's words, he thought that he was referring to their subordinates who couldn't help themselves, and the above sentence meant that they had to go to the battlefield to die, so he also echoed: "Yes, we can only follow the arrangement from above, what can we do?" The general still has to take care of his health. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

Yuan Long bowed, and then said: "Taiwei asked me to attack Jiangxia, but I don't have too many ships, and I still have to be stationed in Luoxian County to build ships, and the matter of grain and grass will be entrusted to the prince." ”

"In that case, the general also asked the advanced city to talk in detail."

Han Xuan said.

"Let's go."

As soon as Yuan Long waved his hand, hundreds of guards behind him followed them into the city.

Everyone is on foot, and the south gate of Linxiang is currently temporarily sealed in order to welcome the army, and the people are not allowed to enter and exit.

However, at that time, Changsha County was a large county with a population of more than one million, and the population of Linxiang as the seat of governance was also very large, and the city was crowded with people, prosperous and lively.

Han Xuan walked in the front, and when he saw Yuan Long looking around curiously, he said with a smile: "Linxiang is close to Xiangshui on the left, and Liushui on the right, it has been the most prosperous place in Jingnan since ancient times, and there is also the palace of the king of Changsha in the city, and there are a lot of delicacies, and the general can just live in the city for two days." ”

"I didn't expect Fu Jun to know so much about Linxiang."

Someone in the crowd said.

Han Xuan turned his head and glanced at the person who spoke, and at first glance he seemed to feel a little familiar, so he looked at it carefully, and then his mouth grew up, and he said in amazement: "Liu"

"Mansion Jun, there are a lot of people here, why don't we go into the mansion and talk."

Liu Pan smiled and put the ring head knife in his hand behind Han Xuan, Han Xuan's Changsha Taishou was actually a matter of the first two years, Jian'an five years Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian rebelled, and then not long after Zhang Xian died of illness, his son Zhang Yi inherited his throne.

When Zhang Yi was killed by Liu Biao in the sixth year of Jian'an, his successor was not Han Xuan, but Xu Xu, and after Xu Xu died of illness, Han Xuan became Changsha Taishou in Jian'an for ten years.

At that time, Liu Pan was attacking Jiangdong and was based in Nanchang, so he and Han Xuan hadn't actually met much.

The only time they met was when Liu Biao sent a fleet to transport grain to Liling, because the heavy rain blocked the road for the grain team to send to Nanchang, it was Han Xuan who rushed to Liling overnight, dispatched a large number of people and auxiliaries, and cleared the road where the landslide was buried, and the two met once in Yichun.

So to a certain extent, Han Xuan is a capable official who governs the local area, has done a lot of practical things, and has indirectly helped Liu Pan. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed by Liu Bei as the Taishou of Changsha after surrendering to Liu Bei and before he died of illness.

At this moment, when the two met again, Han Xuanxian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "It seems that the plan of Taiwei and Situ has failed, I have been hearing that General Liu is recuperating from illness for the past two months, and the soldiers and horses have been returned to General Yuan, it turns out that the general is pretending to be sick, all of this is a means to confuse Taiwei and Situ." ”

"The prince of the palace once helped me open up the grain road, and he made meritorious contributions in the war. However, I believe you also know that the first emperor has always wanted to pass on to the eldest prince, because the first emperor knew that once the throne was passed to the second prince, the great cause of Jingzhou would be obtained by Cai Mao Yue. ”

Liu Pan said as he walked: "The eldest prince is prestigious, everyone obeys the public, the second prince is weak by nature, Cai Kuai must be a powerful minister, to emulate the incident of Zhao Gaoli Si back then, we must not let this happen." ”

Han Xuan persuaded: "It's just that now that most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou have returned to Taiwei Situ, even if the general joins forces with the eldest prince, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so why bother?" In the end, it is still the people of Jingzhou who suffer, why not agree to this and enter the court to assist His Majesty in order to weigh Cai Kuo? ”

"Cai Mao wants to give the eldest prince death in the name of the first emperor, take away my military power, and enter the court?"

Liu Pan sneered and said, "Are you killing yourself?" ”

"Amount"

Han Xuan didn't speak.

While speaking, everyone arrived at the Taishou Mansion, saying that it was the Taishou Mansion, but it was actually the palace of the former king of Changsha.

Changsha was destroyed in the late Western Han Dynasty, and in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was also a king of Changsha, but it was soon abolished, so far the Eastern Han Dynasty has been more than 100 years, and there is no longer a prince in Changsha County.

The original tomb of the king of Changsha is still there, located in Wangcheng District, Changsha City in the later generations, and the palace is long gone at this time, after all, the princes are gone, who lives in it? Therefore, in order not to waste the land, the original palace was converted into a Taishou mansion.

A group of mermaids rushed in, but there were some guards guarding the Taishou Mansion, although Han Xuan wanted to give an order, but after hesitating for a while, he still didn't do it, there was only one life, and he was not Cai Mao Yue's diehard, it was not worth it.

After entering the mansion, Liu Pan said to Han Xuan: "Mansion Jun, we don't embarrass you, as long as you hand over the seal, you will still be Changsha Taishou, otherwise, we can only do it ourselves." ”

Han Xuan knew that they were going to use their Changsha Taishou official seal to order the county soldiers in the city to surrender, so he could only smile bitterly: "Do I still have a choice?" ”

"Please."

Liu Pan stretched out his hand to signal.

Han Xuan reluctantly walked to the table in the front hall of his mansion and handed over the official seal with both hands.

Liu Pan handed the official seal to Huang Zhong and asked him to do it.

After Huang Zhong took the official seal and took the soldiers to order the soldiers and horses in the city, he smiled at Han Xuan and said: "The prince is a smart person, the eldest prince has won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and Cai Mao and the others will definitely be defeated." ”

Han Xuan thought for a while, and said with some doubts: "The general has an army of 20,000 troops, why did he only bring a few thousand men and horses over today?" Could it be?"

"Not bad."

Liu Pan nodded slightly, and said to the south: "I have ordered them to go to take Lingling Guiyang Wuling, this month we must take Jingnan, and then go north to capture Nanjun!" ”

As he spoke, his gaze was already on the south.

Changsha is actually the gateway to the south, because north of Changsha is the Dongting Lake Plain and the Jianghan Plain, which is a vast plain area.

After Changsha, there are mountains and forests and countless rivers, lakes and swamps.

The Jingnan area of the Han Dynasty has barely been developed, including Hengyang City, Chenzhou City, and Yongzhou City in later generations, all of which are large counties with a population of more than 100,000, especially Lingling County, that is, the area around Yongzhou City, which has a population of more than one million at that time.

It's just that although there is development, it is not false that snakes, insects, rats, ants, and miasma are rampant, coupled with the rugged and difficult roads, and the local forces are complex and intertwined, so it is not so easy to easily take the entire Jingnan.

Liu Pan himself came first to seize the most important Changsha County, and then left 5,000 men in Liling to defend Jiangdong, while the rest followed Guan Yu and went south in the name of Liu Qi.

There were many difficulties along the way, and some of the counties were willing to surrender, while others were divided and defended themselves, so the plan to capture Jingnan was not very smooth.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang personally went south, repeatedly used strategies, and finally captured Quanling and Chenxian.

Lingling guarded Liu Du too much, and Guiyang guarded Zhao Fan too much, and finally chose to surrender.

Quanling and Chenxian are the later Yongzhou City and Chenzhou City, and they are also the governing places of Lingling County and Guiyang County.

As for the rest of the remote mountainous areas, the barbarians who do not obey the king and the heroes who defend themselves will talk about it later.

After capturing Lingling and Guiyang, Wuling in the west did not last long, and was broken by Liu Bei's Zhao Yun and the Youxi Mansha tribe who belonged to him.

Since then, the four counties of Jingnan, at the end of April of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, have all been owned by Liu Bei and Liu Qi.

The time also quickly arrived at the beginning of May of the thirteenth year of Jian'an.

This period in history was the front end of the Battle of Chibi, and Cao Cao was preparing for his southward journey to Jingzhou.

And it was during this period that Cao Cao ordered the abolition of the three princes of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, and restored the prime minister system in the Western Han Dynasty.

But at this time, Cao Cao did not even recover the north, and the Battle of Chibi and the matter of becoming the prime minister were impossible to talk about, so these historical events were completely eliminated in time, and perhaps never happened again.

To a certain extent, Shen Chen's butterfly effect is no longer a flap of wings to trigger a tornado in the Americas, but a direct throwing of a nuclear bomb to cause an eight-magnitude earthquake.

History has become completely different.

Against this backdrop, the entire South and the North are in the midst of tremendous changes.

At this moment, the news that Liu Pan occupied Jingnan and echoed Liu Qi in Jiangxia quickly spread to Xiangyang, Cai Mao was furious, and Kuai Yue was extremely frightened.

After the two discussed, they decided to ignore the Huangmen Pavilion and immediately go south to recover Jingnan.

Cai Mao ordered Wen Ping to attack Huangmenting, and he himself personally led an army of 60,000 to Jiangling, preparing to capture Changsha.

Strictly speaking, there are not many people in Jingnan, a total of 20,000 or 30,000 people, and Cai Mao has his own Yangtze River water division plus most of the soldiers and horses of Zhang Yun and Nanyang, with a total strength of more than 100,000, so he is not afraid at all.

But its location is too important.

Dongting Lake is connected to the Yangtze River, and if Jingnan sends troops north, it can go directly to Jiangling by taking the Yangtze River, and Jiangling is the rear line of Xiangyang.

When Guan Yu attacked Xiangfan, the loss of Jiangling directly led to the fall of Jingzhou, and its importance can be known.

If Jiangling is lost, then when Cai Mao and Kuai Yue want to eliminate Liu Qi, Jingnan's army will attack Xiangyang directly north from Jiangling, and then they will fall into an extremely passive situation.

Therefore, Cai Mao must ensure that at least Changsha, the gateway to Jingnan, is in his hands, otherwise, he will fall into the embarrassing situation of being caught between two sides.

And at this time, Jiangdong, who was originally Chen Yuzhang and eyeing Jiangxia, suddenly withdrew his troops.

It was not withdrawn from Yuzhang, but withdrawn from Jiangxia.

In history, Sun Ce and Sun Quan hit Shaxian several times, and the Xiling area was occupied by Jiangdong almost long ago.

The reason for this is that the Yangtze River in the east of Jiangxia is difficult to defend, such as Qichun, Xiapheasant, Xunyang and other places, all of which are on the riverside, and they are easy to be conquered by the Jiangdong naval army.

At present, the Jiangxia Naval Division is in a weak period, and the Jiangdong Naval Army reversed the situation in a war, with momentum like a rainbow, and had already broken through the Qichun Pheasant, and the troops were in Exian County, Yi County, and even Xiling was under the Jiangdong Army, so the current Jiangxia was actually in danger, facing the embarrassing situation of attacking before and after.

And Jiangdong withdrew his troops back to Yuzhang, which obviously greatly alleviated Liu Qi's embarrassing situation for Jiangxia.

Jiangdong's withdrawal of troops was naturally due to Sun Qian's envoy to Jiangdong.

At this moment, in Yuzhang Chaisang, there is a meeting.

Sun Qian first went to Moling to meet Zhang Zhao, and after living in Zhang Zhao's place for half a month, he finally got Zhang Zhao's recommendation, and met the young Jiangdong lord Sun Quan in the county government of Chaisang County!
