Jiangzhou was originally located to the east of Jingzhou. It was once ruled by the Jingzhou regime, but Wu Qian was unable to do so, and there were many threats from Jingzhou itself, so the place became independent from time to time.

Now in the territory of Sunban City in Yangzhou, it can be regarded as a relatively independent territory. It somewhat listens to the propaganda but not to the tune. At the same time, it also has its own soldiers and horses, which are only responsible for taxation and local military affairs.

I will still cooperate with Jianye's orders.

But precisely for this reason, when Li Huai led three thousand soldiers and horses to attack, Jiangzhou collapsed directly under the first wave of offensive. It didn't even have time for the surrounding reinforcements to wait, and it fell directly.

It was even three days after the fall that the relevant news reached Sunban City.

At that time, the half-lord of Yangzhou was angrily scolding Yue Di for his treachery!

"Then Wang Weixing, why can't he keep his word? If he didn't want to, he could have made his attitude clear from the beginning. Now he really wants to put me in a dilemma! I really thought he could defeat me at this time.

Taking advantage? He can only die faster. After all, doesn’t he understand?”

Faced with their lord's rage, all the civil and military officials remained silent and did not dare to say anything.

But they can understand, because the current situation is indeed too complicated for their family. The news that was deliberately released before really made Chen Tao in the north pay attention to it, so that he strengthened the defense in the south of Xuzhou, but his family

The lord's original plan was not to take the territory led by Chen Tao, but to Yuzhou!

But now, the soldiers and horses preparing for the surprise attack have been prepared, and according to the original plan, they are in a posture to attack the people led by Chen Tao in the north, waiting for a feint shot, and then change direction.

He took advantage of Sima Ye's retreat while he was fighting with the remnants of the Zhang family in the north.

As a result, Wang Weixing killed his own envoy, so that the situation became confusing. Instead, they were caught in a dilemma. It felt like one move could affect the whole body, especially they had to worry about the movements of Wang Weixing's forces in the south.

In fact, a lot of news came from there, and the counselors present were able to piece together the reasons behind it. Wang Weixing himself understood the situation clearly, and judging from the meaning, he also wanted to take advantage of his own family.

The people and horses had the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains and further expand in the south.

After all, when the two families were in conflict with each other before, both sides were actually affected. Neither of them wanted the other to grow, and they were restrained by each other, making it difficult for them to grow. Therefore, this agreement now is actually a rare opportunity for peace.

With this period of time, Wang Weixing continued to cultivate southward and westward, so that he could further expand his power and plunder the population.

It's a pity that he was coerced by the conservatives within his power, and now he has been killed. Even if he wants to explain, it is difficult to be believed. It can be said...

It's a conspiracy!

Everyone is almost certain that someone must be planning this, even Chen Tao from the north or one of the Sima Ye families. However, it doesn't make much sense to pursue this now.

What they have to consider is how to deal with the current situation, whether to withdraw their troops and horses and continue the confrontation with Vietnam, or to take risks and implement them according to the original plan.

The former will undoubtedly waste a precious opportunity. Once the north is further integrated, they will almost lose the chance to dominate the world. The latter is difficult to predict the movements of the country. If one mistake is made, the foundation will be shaken...

At this difficult moment, the news in Jiangzhou became less dazzling. After all, that territory had experienced several changes in the past.

However, considering its geographical location, it is a major barrier to Jianye and should not be ignored.

"Order Wang Geng's soldiers and horses to go to support!" Sun Bancheng calmed down his anger and began to mobilize his troops to punish the generals. After learning more about the situation, he frowned, "Huangfu Huai? Is this the man who led the troops?"

, who is this person, does anyone know?"

Among the counselors, someone's expression changed, showing a bit of joy, and said: "My lord, my subordinates do know this person."

"Okay, tell me then." Sun Bancheng looked at the man and recognized him as Li Yu.

This Li family of Li Yu also has some foundation in Jianye, and is said to be somewhat related to the royal family of the previous dynasty. However, Sun Bancheng was born in a poor family and was not valued by the gentry. Otherwise, he would not have come to the south to establish himself. Therefore, any gentry who is willing to join the imperial family

Man, he doesn't reject anyone who comes.

Li Yu said: "This Huangfu Huai also has some background. He is a disciple of General Long Xiang from Jingnan, and it is said that he also studied under Mr. Mingjing of Jingzhou."

When Sun Bancheng heard this, he frowned more and more, and said: "This is even more complicated. The Long Xiang soldiers and horses had just occupied Jingzhou, and they actually sent people eastward. Could it be that they were aiming at Yangzhou? He had just made a new move.

I don’t want to manage the territory well, so why is it like this?”

"My subordinates also know this," Li Yu said again, "that Huangfu Huai actually led the army to capture Jingzhou. He is actually the most powerful general in the world. Now that he is leading the army to the east, it may not be a bad thing. His subordinates are not talented.

I am willing to serve as an envoy and go to negotiate with him so that he can send troops to help the lord!"

"Are you interested in me?" Sun Bancheng's brows relaxed a bit, "It's just that since this man is General Long Xiang, commanding an army, it may not be easy to persuade him to help, and..."

"Of course you have to pay something," Li Yu said frankly, "This can be regarded as borrowing troops from Jingzhou Longxiang. The benefits are indispensable, but the lord can use the future land to make an appointment with him, so that he can be more confident during the expedition.

If you use your heart and mind, you will have an army that can advance, attack, retreat and defend. It will be easier to control both Yuzhou and Yue."

"Okay!" Sun Bancheng was worried about the situation. Hearing Li Yuzhi's words, he was finally moved. However, he still had doubts, "But Jiangzhou is still in his hands. If he is willing to give up the city..."

"My lord, if you take something in advance, you must give it first. This matter can be discussed later. For now, it is just adding obstacles between the two families. It is better to take advantage of the situation and use it as an excuse to let them send more troops."

After hearing this, Sun Bancheng made a complete decision and said: "Go and do it quickly!"

Li Yu was ordered to retreat, and then returned home without stopping. After explaining the situation, the Li family had already made a decision, so that night, Li Yu hurriedly hit the road and went upstream along the river.

He soon arrived at the outskirts of Jiangzhou, and then rushed towards the city with many followers.

But still halfway, someone suddenly jumped out.

"Where did he come from? It looks like he has a good background?" The man looked at it and grabbed Li Yu without paying attention to others.

Li Yu was not in a hurry. He had already seen that these people were soldiers, so he revealed his identity and finally said: "Take me to see your general quickly. I have something good to do with him."

"Are you really the envoy from Jianye?" The soldier was a little doubtful.

"Whether it is true or not, people will know it when they see it." Li Yu could tell at this moment that this soldier should not be the direct descendant of Huangfu Huai, but perhaps a soldier who had been reorganized after Jiangzhou City was conquered.

Fortunately, this person also knew how powerful he was. After the report, he quickly brought Li Yu to Li Huai.
