Volume 1 Chapter 392 Southern Expedition
Yangzhou Shouchun City
A little later, it was the height of summer, the sun was hot, and I saw that in the shop not far from the city gate, the shopkeeper and his men were bare-chested and bare-chested, handing tea to the guests.
The city wall outside the city of Shouchun is not high, this is the characteristics of the south of the Yangtze River, the climate is watery, the rammed earth is easy to soak bad, there are not many dock forts in the countryside, and it is far from being comparable with the fortresses all over the north and the strict pattern.
The more troubles the mountain is, the more it cannot be compared with Hun Hu.
But stability is not without benefits, at least the accumulation of power is sufficient - where the place is thousands of miles and the population is tens of millions, it will be five hundred years and then Longxing, six hundred years from Wu and four hundred years from Chu, Jiangnan Wang Qi has been dormant for a long time, and it is time to revive again.
"Sun is the king, Xiang Chu revenge" Wei gradually became popular in Yangzhou and Jingnan, so that many people with a heart were shocked when they heard it, when Chu and Han fought, Xiang Yu and 8,000 Jiangdong children had no return, who did this revenge to?
Isn't it the Han family?
But this has nothing to do with ordinary people, the store is closed, there is a guy named He Xiaowu, it is rare to be able to eat some pig's head meat at night, I felt happy at the time, but the weather is hot, this pig's head meat is afraid that it is a little not fresh, and at night I feel a pain in my stomach, so I have to go to the toilet one by one.
At this time, there was no toilet, so I staggered to a long squat in a jungle under the city wall, and felt more refreshed, but found that it was dark, and I was about to go back, when I heard the sound of the gate opening.
He Xiaowu was shocked, why did this city gate open halfway?
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps, as well as a faint voice, He Xiaowu quietly looked through the small jungle, and immediately straightened his eyes - only to see soldiers at the city gate stepping in.
The steps were still neat, and a cold murderous aura came out, and this He Xiaowu saw that the way was not good, and he hurriedly fell to the ground regardless of the smell of his own pit not far away.
There were only two torches lit at the city gate, and the light was dim, a bit of a forest man.
One person was standing, with a calm face and no words, it was Yu Fan, and there were three people behind him.
After a long time, the army drove over, this Yu Fan looked at the sky with a hint of a smile, and the person behind saw his eyes, and said with a smile: "Lord, you see, the angel who announced the decree is still on the road for thousands of miles, but the lord is under the herd of Yuzhou, and the news of the general is still transmitted in advance.
One person fanned the fan before saying: "The essence of the white snake has changed a little, the head is different, the eyes are shining gold, this is still not officially sealed, white is the appearance of Jinde, it is in line with the troubled times to kill, and the lord is the head of the same Jinshi, it can be said that it is both civil and military, with this white Jiao, you can achieve a meritorious achievement." β
"It's a pity that only one-tenth of it is brought to the earth, so the earthly world is still a white snake, and it is necessary to unify this world. The third person said.
This is what he said when he ended the meeting with Yuan Shu's envoy and transferred troops into the city.
"It's disgusting that this Yuan Shu, I really regard the lord as a subordinate, and I don't look at him now that he is only a county, and we are already a state and a half."
"This messenger is arrogant and regards our Koto as a barbarian land......"
Yu Fan listened with a smile, but he didn't really care, he still spoke: "This Yuan Shu is the son of the Yuan family, most of the foundation of the fourth and third princes fell on him, and the power is still very strong, no wonder in history Sun Jian, Sun Ce, father and son have been suppressed for two generations." β
"It's a pity that he has a strong color, and his talent is far inferior to his cousin Yuan Shao, and he is even more bold to take the lead in becoming the emperor, and he feels that he is such a good guy...... Wouldn't it be a pity not to take advantage of it?"
The people of the earth laughed.
Yu Fan alleviated everyone's depression, and straightened his expression: "This Yuan Shu is just used to make guns for us, and there is nothing to lose some face, lose some grain and grass materials, we Jiangdong is not short of this, let him unify Jingbei, and face Ye Qing, we can watch the fire from the other side, and wait for the opportunity to seek Xuzhou."
"Tao Qian was persuaded not to go out of the city to fight in the field this time, and the wall was cleared very early, but the battle of Pengcheng still suffered heavy casualties on both sides, and the losses in the siege and defense of the city were comparable, although the governor's sorcerer regiment had not yet recovered its strength, but its power should not be underestimated. β
"We also have a group of sorcerers. Yu Fan smiled and glanced at the sixty or so magicians on the left, all the magicians of the Yu Family Alliance had finally gathered in Xiatu, which was not much inferior to the Governor Fang.
The sorcerer bowed slightly, looking at Lu Shang's head with respect, with their spiritual sense, they could see a majestic white snake guarding Yu Fan in the dark.
"Jing Yang is the capital of the emperor, but it's a pity that the lord's position is only the Marquis of Wucheng, and the expansion is too fast, and he has to rely on a large number of Jiangdong natives, and he is also suppressed by the remnants of the Han family, so he has to pretend to be Yuan Shu to avoid suppression, but wait until Luoyang City is burned...... It was when the luck of our side and the governor rose sharply, and Ye Qing's luck disappeared. β
At this time, a personal soldier suddenly reported a military situation, and Yu Fan's face turned dark.
Mr. Kou took the report and was also surprised: "Dinghou just has a good reputation, and he also leads the pastor of Yujingzhou."
Some people were angry: "Jingzhou Mu, where is Jingnan, which is in the possession of the lord?"
"And Yuzhou Mu is also in conflict with the lord, we are orthodox"
"The seal is complete, this queen mother is really ......"
"What can be done by orphan girls and widows, they must even return their people and things" Yu Fan just sneered, inevitably evoking some familiar impressions, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart - how can any good thing make this Ye Qing stand up, whether on the ground or on the ground?
Abandoning this thought, Yu Fan remembered something: "By the way, what is this Earth Chixiao Sword......?
Everyone looked at each other, unlike Jingzhou's hometown, which is good for the literary style, Jiangdong has been a martial land since ancient times, and the local scholars are actually mostly turtles, and few care about the Central Plains Dingge, and the memories that can be provided to the people on the ground are really limited - in fact, this is also the reason why the people on the ground in Jiangdong have to hold a group in Jiangdong, the local situation is familiar, and when they go to the north, they are black.
Only a few Jing Nan recalled some memories and said: "Chixiao Sword is its official name, and the general folk name is the Death Qin Sword, the Heavenly Mandate Sword, and the Zhenyun Sword...... Or the most famous name is Gaozu Snake Sword, Han Gaozu Liu Bang Cut White Snake...... Sabre of the Uprising. β
Kill the White Snake...... Yu Fan's body was cold, and he remembered the folk rumors that Qin Zhiyu had vaporized the snake, and smiled reluctantly.
Mr. Kou hurriedly intercepted the topic: "The soil is the soil, we are people on the ground, and we naturally have the ability to jump out of the limitations, so why worry about a little taboo."
"That's it, it's ......," someone immediately chimed in.
If Yu Fan didn't hear it, he secretly looked at himself, and the white snake in the void was only slightly impacted, so it quickly stabilized and carefully observed below.
Everyone present, everyone's luck has also stagnated and recovered, and the overall is still very cohesive.
All of them are earthly people.
Yu Fan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Yes, I have my own foundation for the Alliance of Others, the result is different, and even if there is restraint, it is very small, Ye Qing made the Chixiao Sword, and the idea of fighting was wrong."
Everyone agreed: "What the lord said is that it may be useful for the natives, but useless for us......"
"The real three alliances decide the winner, and it depends on strength, relying on the battlefield to speak" Yu Fan said, seeing that the army had completely entered the city, he waved his hand: "You go back and restβMr. Kou, let's take a walk." β
"Yes" Seeing that everyone dispersed, soldier A followed with torches, and the two walked along, seeing that at this time every house was closed doors, and in the faint light of the fire, you could see soldiers and horses patrolling, and it was forbidden to walk at night.
However, some deep mansion compounds are not affected, and you can see the brilliant lights and the sound of silk and bamboo, which are as thin as a hair, as if there is nothing.
There was a fire in the city, and it was red.
Yu Fan was happy and regretful: "This prosperous city is already mine, how good it would be if there was this city on the ground."
At this time, I looked at Mr. Kou and saw him with solemn eyes.
Mr. Kou brushed the bamboo fan and said calmly: "Lord, the influence of the Chixiao Sword on the indigenous people is not trivial, it doesn't matter if the rumors are not widespread and the impact is not big at the moment, in the future, we will face this Ye Qing directly, and we will finally use the higher level of the treasure to offset it." β
"I know what you mean, speaking of which, my Sun Jian and the heirloom jade seal also have a fate, but Luoyang secretly found a location that night, but saw that the remnants ......of the Han family had not disappeared, and the time had not yet come."
"This body is also a hero who rose recklessly in the original history, and when he got this jade seal, he was killed by an arrow when he was chasing after the victory in Xiangyang City. β
"And I obviously know that the jade seal of the country was unearthed in the well of Luoyang, and all of them are waiting for me Sun Jian to steal the jade seal, and you want me to bear the backlash?"
Yu Fan's eyes were dark, and his tone was deep: "There is also yesterday's secret report, Dong Zhuochu wants to use Yuan Shu as the pastor of Yangzhou, and I am the pastor of Jingzhou, this Dong Hei wants me to be separated from Yuan Shu?"
Mr. Kou knew the inside story of the Dao, looked at the northwest and pondered: "Yuan Shu dug up the jade seal of the country according to the news of the lord, so he has a lot of faith in the lord, this person is short-sighted and not worried, it is estimated that Dong Zhuo also took this into account, and saw that Ye Qing led the two states, and changed his life to the lord as the pastor of Yuzhou... No matter which side does not tolerate Ye Qing's continued strength, this will be surrounded on all sides, and it will be difficult for Ye Qing to expand again. β
"The lord is the pastor of Yuzhou, although it is Dong Zhuo's plan, but it can be regarded as a justifiable appointment, and he has become the real feudal official of this country, and his personality is in the green. β
"The only pity is that because the Queen Mother fled with the Six Seals of the Son of Heaven, the Han Dynasty controlled by Dong Zhuo no longer has full legitimacy, and this Ye Qingyu Prefecture Pastor is also legal, so it must be contested to be implemented in the end. β
Yu Fan nodded, no one knows the difficulty of this old enemy better than him, the strength and weakness of the situation, after all, he will know the way of the road
was stunned, and then looked at the army that entered the camp in the distance - the camp was all cold and white, rushing out of several zhang, which was the result of the use of troops against local tyrants and Shanyue tribes in the past two years.
It is a pity that the water network in the south is dense, the terrain is limited, it is difficult to have large-scale battles, and there is a shortage of horses, and the quality of the military spirit trained can only reach the level of white gas.
The gratifying thing is the scale, full of 100,000 troops, or excluding the eldest son Sun Ce to take away 20,000 troops and local garrisons 30,000...... In this long-term drought world, except for the land of Jingyang Water Town, where can we supply 150,000 troops?
Even the total strength of Cao Cao and Tao Qian was no more than that.
A cloud drifted in from the southeast, dyed with a hint of dark red, and the air was oppressive and dull.
"Ah, it's time for rain. Yu Fan said, his eyes calmly looking to the north, as if he had heard the fierce killing sound.
