Chapter 80: The South is Solemn
Chapter 80: The South is Solemn
Yuhang, Jiangnan Provincial Governor's Office.
The atmosphere here was extremely silent, from the chief manager Shen Faxing to the guards at the gate, all of them looked solemn and worried.
It's not time for them to be nervous, and now it's time for them to live and die.
"Father, we can't just sit back and wait for death, that Cang Fei is really too deceitful, we have already sent someone to express our willingness to surrender, but he refuses to even make a promise to guarantee our status, he wants us to bear the guilt, and personally led a large army to come to conquest, are we just huddled here?" Shen Lun's expression was hideous, and when he talked about Cang Fei, he was angry.
He is young, as the son of Shen Faxing, the heir of the future Jiangnan Provincial Governor's Mansion, he can be said to be in the limelight in Wu Land, and he has always been above the top, but unfortunately he can only be regarded as a second ancestor, and there are not many people who are better than him among the younger generation in the Jiangnan region.
Not to mention Cang Fei, who has the ferocity of the world, even Ren Shaoming of the Iron Riding Club and Lin Shihong of the Poyang faction have overpowered him, even if these two guys are also people with backgrounds, but on the surface, no one rides on their heads, Shen Lun has always wanted to compete with these three people, so that people can understand that he is the first person of the younger generation in Jiangnan.
But the result was so cruel, he has not made any actual achievements, what can be praised is that not long ago, he personally went to Jiujiang to meet with Lin Shihong to talk about the two families jointly dealing with Cangfei.
Because both sides had the intention of dealing with Cangfei, the two families hit it off, reached a southern alliance, and marched into Jiangyin by two routes, left and right.
If he could really suppress Cang Fei's arrogance this time, Shen Lun would have made a great achievement, but the result made him feel cold.
Before the official battle with the Qin army, news of the fiasco defeat of the Yuwen Valve and the Dugu Valve had already come from the north, and even Yang Guang's head was taken off by Cang Fei himself. Most of the 300,000 Sui troops were captured by the Qin army, and Cang Fei went south with his own soldiers on the same day to attack them Jiangnan Province and the Chu army.
O Nima!
How could Cang Fei be so powerful that with the ferocity of breaking the alliance of the Yuwen Valve and the Dugu Valve, he rushed straight to Cang Fei who was heading south, making it difficult for Shen Faxing and Lin Shihong to sleep. At this time, where were they in the mood to attack Jiangyin, and the matter of Shen Lun uniting the two families to deal with Cangfei before was like a joke.
Why is this happening? Shen Lun really doesn't understand, everyone is just human, and the age difference is similar, why the gap is so obvious.
Shen Faxing said: "Lun'er, do you think our troops in Jiangnan Province are more powerful than the combined forces of the Yuwen Valve and the Dugu Lord, as well as Yang Guang's Praetorian Guard?"
Shen Lun swallowed his saliva and said, "But we can't sit still, right?"
Shen Faxing sighed: "I know you're not convinced. But how can I be willing? It's just that Cang Fei is invincible at all, you probably don't know the situation when he fought with the Yuwen Valve and the Dugu Lord's coalition army that day, he broke into the formation alone, and defeated this hundreds of thousands of elite troops, this is simply a monster, and it is no good for us to fight against him. ”
Shen Lun was taken aback and said, "Daddy, do you mean to surrender? Then Cang Fei refuses to make any promises, and wants us to surrender unconditionally!"
Let's be honest. When they heard about the unconditional surrender, many people in Gangnam Province were stunned. I haven't heard of such a way to surrender before!
Shen Faxing said: "I know that this is a very humiliating thing for us, but what else can we do? Our troops know that after Cangfei attacked, they have already broken their morale, and now Cangfei has the momentum to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and the whole world may be in his hands in the future, and Liuqiu is his sphere of influence." It's not safe overseas, where do you think we should flee?"
Shen Lun's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, he was really unwilling, just like his father said. He couldn't even escape, and I don't think any force would risk taking them in.
"Report! Cangfei has arrived at the city, and the general is in their army, please ask if the city will be opened. ”
The herald's words reached Shen Lun's ears, causing his body to tremble, and he looked at his father blankly, and finally bowed his head in a daze.
The general is Shen Faxing's brother and Shen Lun's uncle Shen Fazheng.
Only then did Shen Lun understand that his father had been secretly hiding from him for a long time and had come into contact with Cang Fei, and with Shen Fa leading the way, the road would naturally be unimpeded, otherwise he would not have been able to reach Yuhang so quickly with Cang Fei's ability.
"Gongzi Cang is coming, and we go out to greet him. Shen Faxing also looked gloomy, he is the owner of Wu Di, which is also a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is only slightly inferior to Yangzhou, if it is managed well, it may not be possible to dominate the world.
It's just that there is such a monster as Cang Fei, and he is facing the danger of destruction before he has developed here, although he is very unwilling, but he has to admit that he is too far behind Cang Fei.
......
Outside Yuhang City, Cang Fei rode his horse and looked at Hangcheng, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.
Behind him, Zha Jie and Shan Wanjing were all there, and the troops he led were only 5,000 personal soldiers, but with him, even if Shen Faxing wanted to play any tricks, he was not worried that he would not be able to deal with it.
His current strength is such a metamorphosis existence, just like a bug in the game world.
"Childe, you wait a minute, my brother will open the city gate soon. Shen Fa faced Cang Fei and said respectfully.
Even though Cang Fei is younger than his son, the other party is already powerful in the world, almost everyone knows it, there is no longer any power in the Jiangnan region, which can match the Qin army under him, and his personal martial arts are rumored to be among the best in the world.
A series of achievements have made Cang Fei's prestige climb to the peak, and there are faint signs of deification in the Qin army, and even Shen Fazheng, who does not belong to the same force, is in awe of Cang Fei.
Cang Fei nodded lightly, he didn't care about this matter, Shen Fazheng and Lin Shihong's coalition army was about to move in the south, and it was actually a good strategy to enter Jiangyin, if he changed places, he would do the same, but Shen Faxing and Lin Shihong were very unlucky, and it was him Cang Fei who met.
Today's Qin army is no longer the Qin army of the past, with many talents and a wide enough area. Not to mention the two traditional ruling areas of Yangzhou and Liuqiu, the land of Beihai was under the management of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, while the Jiangyin area was also restored to stability under the management of the local snake Haisha Gang.
This makes Cangfei have a lot less worries and can continue to expand his territory. Expand the Qin army's sphere of influence.
Shen Faxing is the first person he wants to kill and make an example of, his power is stable, and his strength is strong enough, Cang Fei can be said to be fearless, and he doesn't care much about Shen Faxing's willingness to surrender.
However, Shen Faxing also understood his own situation, and let Shen Fazheng come alone to express his willingness to surrender. Along the way, all the troops in the Shen Faxing area surrendered in Kaesong.
This made the menacing Cang Fei and the others a little dumbfounded, as the saying goes, if you don't hit the smiling person, the other party will not resist, you can't kill them all.
At this time, Cang Fei also had to admit that this Shen Faxing really had some way. He couldn't even kill chickens and monkeys.
Looking at the slowly opening city gate, Shen Faxing's father and son and the generals walked to greet them. Cang Fei knew that this battle could not be fought.
......
The Jiangnan Province area is roughly located in the area where the Wu State was located in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with Yuhang as the center, located at the southernmost end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
The geographical location is very important, not only because it is an important part of the canal traffic, but also because it is very close to the river. After controlling this place, Liuqiu will no longer be an enclave for the Qin army, and across the sea, the connection between the two will be closer, and with the current naval strength of the Qin army. It's enough to dominate the water.
The sailors of the original Yangzhou Sui Army, the Haisha Gang, the Jukun Gang, the Dongming faction and other sailors, plus the sailors of the current Jiangnan Province, are all integrated, what a huge water force this is, which is enough for the Qin army to gallop across the rivers and seas.
Such a naval division has no opponents, but this naval division is so strong, but it gives them no chance to perform.
Of course, the most important thing is the war on land, but with such a non-human guy as Cangfei, this aspect is not a problem, just like this operation, the Jiangnan Province region is in the bag, the Qin army's sphere of influence continues to expand, and several areas controlled by the Qin army are linked together to form a whole block.
And by defeating the coalition forces of the Yuwen Lords and the Dugu Lords, the Qin army also became the most powerful force in the Jiangnan region, and even the most powerful force in the entire Han region.
The Qin army had many troops in various regions, and although Li Jing was carefully selected, a large number of old and young were eliminated, and the final strength was more than 300,000.
And after the expansion during this time, Cang Fei did not act immediately, but chose to rest.
Although Cangfei's prestige is enough, and the strength of the Qin army is also good, but a few months ago, the Qin army only controlled the Yangzhou area and the enclave Liuqiu, and the territory has doubled several times, and such a large-scale expansion is not easy to digest these areas.
Whether it is Cang Fei or Li Jing, they all know that this is not easy to do, if it is too rushed, it will make the situation in these areas unstable, even if Cang Fei thinks that he can suppress the situation, but he cannot ensure that the people in these areas can live and work in peace and contentment.
As the ruler of the Qin army, he had an obligation to seek benefits for these people and let them live a stable life, which was his reward for the love he had for the people.
......
Gangnam Provincial Governor's Office.
Now it is no longer the territory of the Shen family, it was Shen Faxing who used to sit at the top, but now he can only sit below, and the person at the top is of course Cangfei.
The atmosphere in the venue is a little weird now, just look at the members of the meeting.
The left column is Shen Faxing, Shen Fazheng, Shen Lun, Li Changheng, Tu Li and Xie Yuqing and other old people from the original Jiangnan Province.
On the right, this is Gao Zhandao, Niu Fengyi, Zha Jie, Wei Yuan, Duan Yucheng, Bao Zhifu, Ma Gui and Shi Jie.
You ask why the Donghai Gang is here? The former nest of the Donghai Gang was in the Changshu area, which was originally under the jurisdiction of the Jiangnan Province, of course, their power and Shen Faxing They have no way to compare, but how to say that they are also the head worms of the ground, Cang Fei immediately ordered them to come after occupying this place.
The power of the East China Sea Gang is an important force in the Qin army, they defected to Cangfei in their early years, and they are the elders of the Qin army, that is, a little slower than Shilong and Zhuhua Gang, but the latter two have lost Yangzhou, and even defected to the Yuwen valve, and they have problems with Cangfei's loyalty, and they are far inferior to the East China Sea Gang in this regard.
Therefore, Cang Fei is extremely fond of the East China Sea Gang, and it is also for this reason that Zha Jie can be his escort, and because of Zha Jie, the power of the East China Sea Gang in the Qin Army is also rising.
As a small gang with no name in the past, the power in the Qin army is definitely not weaker than those big factions in the past, and even above them.
"I ordered you to come, you should know what it is for? I will return to Yangzhou, and the Jiangnan Province area will be under the jurisdiction of Gao Zhandao as the governor in the future, and everyone else will do their best to assist him, Shen Faxing, Shen Fazheng and Shen Lun, you will come to Yangzhou with me, and I will give you a suitable position. Cang Fei said expressionlessly.
The hearts of the three members of the Shen family sank, knowing that Cang Fei finally chose to deprive them of their power, and what would be arranged for them to be in Yangzhou, just to transfer them from the Jiangnan Province area, and in the future, this will be under the jurisdiction of Gao Zhan Dao, and the forces of the East China Sea Gang will eliminate the influence of the Shen family.
As soon as these people leave, it will not be easy to come back in the future, and it is estimated that they are only idle positions in Yangzhou, which is similar to that Li Zitong.
Look at that Li Zitong is now living a stable life in Yangzhou with peace of mind, and the Beihai region is well governed by the two young marshals of the Qin army, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and it is estimated that there is no chance of a comeback.
And the people in the Beihai region have long forgotten who Li Zitong is, right?
This is the winner is king, it has been like this since ancient times, the three members of the Shen family have no attachment to Jiangnan Dao in their hearts, and now they can only accept their orders respectfully, since the moment of surrender, they have no room for bargaining with Cangfei, so that their lives can be saved, so that the family can remain rich, it is already a good result.
To put it mildly, Cang Fei took the Jiangnan Province region into his pocket, and also perfectly handled the problem of the Shen family, Cang Fei showed his clever political means.
And when Cang Fei returned to Yangzhou, the turmoil in the Jiangnan region still did not subside, and many forces in the entire south were terrified by the soaring power of the Qin army.
Lin Shihong was still uneasy, Baling Gang Xiao Mo was also frightened and stunned, the Jianghuai army no longer dared to confront the Qin army, and the Song family in Lingnan remained silent and did not stop the expansion of the Qin army.
In front of the powerful Cangfei, the south was solemn. (To be continued.) )
