Chapter 0392 Southern Expedition

Yangzhou Shouchun City

A few days later, it was summer, and the sun was scorching hot on the ground. In the shop not far from the city gate, the owner and staff were baring their chests and delivering tea to customers.

The outer walls of Shouchun City are not high, which is a characteristic of Jiangnan. The climate is flooded, and the rammed earth is prone to damage. There are not many rural fortresses, which cannot be compared to the strict defense of fortresses scattered throughout the north.

The small troubles of the mountains cannot be compared to those of the Xiongnu.

But stability is not without its benefits, at least it has accumulated sufficient strength - wherever there are thousands of miles and tens of millions of people, it will take five hundred years for the dragon to rise. It will be six hundred years after the fall of Wu and four hundred years after the fall of Chu. The royal qi of Jiangnan has been dormant for a long time, and it is time for it to rise again.

The prophecy of 'Sun Shi becomes king, Xiang Chu seeks revenge' gradually became popular in Yangzhou and Jingnan, causing many people with ulterior motives to tremble. During the Chu Han conflict, Xiang Yu, along with eight thousand children from the east of the Yangtze River, were unable to return home. To whom should this revenge be avenged?

Isn't it the Han Dynasty!

However, this has nothing to do with ordinary people. When the store closed, there was a staff member named He Xiaowu who rarely had some pork head meat at night. At that time, he felt happy, but the weather was hot and the pork head meat was a bit stale. At night, he felt a stomachache and had to go to the bathroom every time.

At this moment, there were no toilets, so I stumbled and squatted in a jungle under the city wall, feeling more refreshed. However, I realized it was pitch black and was about to go back when I heard the sound of the door opening.

He Xiaowu was surprised, why did this city gate open halfway?

Suddenly hearing footsteps and faint sounds, He Xiaowu silently looked through the small jungle and immediately looked straight - he saw soldiers stepping in one after another at the city gate.

The steps were still neat, and a chilling killing aura emanated. Seeing this, He Xiaowu knew something was wrong, ignoring the smell of digging a pit not far away, and quickly fell to the ground.

Only two torches were lit at the city gate, and the light was dim, a bit eerie.

Standing alone, with a calm face and no words, it was Yu Fan, followed by three others standing behind.

After a long time, the army drove past, and Yu Fan looked up at the sky with a slight smile, while someone behind him saw their eyes and said with a smile, "Lord, you see, the angel who issued the decree is still on a long way, but Lord is under the command of the Governor of Yuzhou. The news of the general who broke through the enemy was still transmitted in advance. As a result, Lord Qi's lucky white snake's eyes have turned golden. It's really impressive

One person fanned their fan before saying, "The essence of the White Snake has undergone some changes. It has a strange horn on its head and shining golden blue eyes. It has not yet been officially conferred the title. White is the appearance of Jin virtue, which is in line with the chaotic times of killing and conquering, and the Lord is also the leader of the same jinshi. It can be said that he is skilled in both literature and martial arts. With this White Dragon, he can achieve great success

Unfortunately, only one tenth of it was brought to the ground, so the earthly world is still a white snake, and we still need to unify this world, "said the third person.

This is what was said when the meeting with the envoy of Yuan Shu ended and troops were mobilized into the city.

Damn it, Yuan Shu really treats the lord as a subordinate, even though he's only a county now. We're already a state and a half

This envoy is arrogant and regards Jiangdong as a barbarian land

Yu Fan listened with a smile on his face, but he didn't really care. He spoke up and said, "Yuan Shu is the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and most of the four generations of the Three Excellencies have fallen on him. His power is still very strong. No wonder in history, both Sun Jian and Sun Ce were suppressed

It's a pity that he only has a stern expression, and his talent is far inferior to that of his illegitimate brother Yuan Shao. Later, he was even more daring to be the first to declare himself emperor. He feels so good about himself... Isn't it a pity not to use him

Everyone on the ground laughed.

Yu Fan eased everyone's frustration and straightened his expression: "This Yuan Shu is just right to be used as a gun for us. It's not a big deal to lose face or food and supplies. We don't need this in Jiangdong. Let him unite Jingbei, stand by Ye Qing, and we can watch the fire from the other side, waiting for an opportunity to seek Xuzhou

Tao Qian was advised not to go out of the city for field battles this time. He had long defended himself, but both sides suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Pengcheng. The losses from attacking and defending the city were comparable. Although the governor's martial arts team has not yet recovered its strength, its power cannot be underestimated

We also have a group of sorcerers, "Yu Fan smiled and glanced at the sixty or so sorcerers on the left. All the sorcerers of the Yu family alliance finally gathered in the underworld, not much inferior to the governor's side.

The sorcerer humbly bowed, but looked up with respect. With their spiritual perception, they could see a majestic white snake guarding Yu Fan in the underworld.

Jingyang is the capital of the emperor, but unfortunately, the lord's position is only that of the Marquis of Wucheng. Due to rapid expansion, he had to rely heavily on the indigenous people of Jiangdong and was suppressed by the residual energy of the Han dynasty. He had to disguise himself and submit to Yuan Shu to avoid suppression. However, when Luoyang City is burned down... it will be the time when our side and the governor's luck will soar and Ye Qing's luck will decline greatly

At this moment, a personal soldier suddenly reported a military situation, and Yu Fan's face darkened.

Mr. Kou took the report and was also surprised: "The Marquis of Dinghou just has a good reputation, and he also serves as the governor of Jingzhou, Henan

Someone is angry and says, "Jingzhou Governor? Where is the southern part of Jingzhou occupied by the lord

And the governor of Yuzhou also conflicts with the lord! This is the orthodox way

The seals are complete, this empress dowager is really

What can an orphan girl and mother do? She must have returned with her belongings... "Yu Fan just sneered, inevitably evoking some familiar impressions and feeling a little uncomfortable - why did everything good happen to Ye Qing, whether on the ground or underground?

Abandoning this thought, Yu Fan remembered something and said, "By the way, what is this Earth Red Sky Sword? How do I feel a bit impressed

People looked at each other. Unlike Jingzhou, where the ancient Chu State was famous for its literary style, Jiangdong has always been a place where Wu and Yue worshipped martial arts. In fact, the local gentry were mostly ground beetle. Few of them cared about the changes in the Central Plains, and the memory they could provide to the people on the ground was really limited. In fact, this was also the reason why the people on the ground in Jiangdong had to form a group in Jiangdong. The local situation was familiar, and when they arrived in the north, their eyes turned black.

Only a few people from Jingnan, recalling some memories, spoke up and said, "The Chixiao Sword is its official name. It is commonly known as the Sword of the Dead Qin, the Sword of Tianming, the Sword of Zhenyun... or the most famous name is the Sword of the Snake Slayer by Emperor Gaozu, the Sword of the White Snake Slayer by Emperor Liu Bang of Han... the sword of rebellion

Slash the White Snake... Yu Fan felt a chill on his body, recalling the folk rumor of the Qi Qi snake in the Qin Dynasty, and forced a smile.

Mr. Kou quickly cut off the topic and said, "The underground is the underground, and we are the people on the ground. We naturally have the ability to break free from limitations, so there is no point in being a little taboo

Exactly, exactly... "someone immediately agreed.

If Yu Fan didn't hear it, he secretly looked at himself. The white snake in the void was only slightly impacted, but quickly stabilized and carefully observed below.

The crowd present also experienced a slight delay and recovery in their personal luck, but overall they are still very cohesive.

Bi Du is an above ground person.

Yu Fan couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction and said, "Yes, the foundation of our Earthlings Alliance is our own, and the results are different. Even if there is any restraint, it is extremely small. Ye Qing came up with the Chixiao Sword to attack this idea, but the calculation was wrong

Everyone agrees: 'What the lord said may be useful for the indigenous people, but useless for us...'

The true victory or defeat of the three alliances depends on their strength and the battlefield! "Yu Fan said, waving his hand as he saw that the army had completely entered the city." You guys go back and rest - Mr. Kou, let's take a walk

Yes! "As the crowd dispersed, the armored soldiers followed with torches, and the two of them strolled. At this moment, every household was tightly closed, and in the dim light, soldiers and horses could be seen patrolling, prohibiting night walking.

However, some deep courtyards are not affected, and you can see the brilliant lights and the sound of silk and bamboo, which are as thin as a strand of hair, almost non-existent.

There was a firelight on the city, reflecting a crimson hue.

Yu Fan was both happy and regretful: "This relatively prosperous city is already mine. If only this city could exist on the ground

At this moment, I looked at Mr. Kou and saw his serious gaze.

Mr. Kou brushed the bamboo fan and said calmly, "My lord, the impact of the Chixiao Sword on the indigenous people is significant. It doesn't matter if the rumors are not widespread and the impact is not significant at the moment. In the future, we will face Ye Qing directly and eventually use the higher-level treasure to offset it

I understand what you mean. Speaking of which, Sun Jian and the Imperial Jade Seal of Chuanguo are also destined to be together. However, that night in Luoyang, I secretly found the location, only to see that the remaining energy of the Han Dynasty had not dissipated, and the fruit time had not yet arrived

This person was also a hero of the rise of the barbarians in the original history. Once he obtained this jade seal, everything went wrong. In the end, he was shot dead by an arrow while pursuing in Xiangyang City

And even though they all know that the imperial jade seal was unearthed in a well in Luoyang, they are all waiting for my grandson Jian to steal the jade seal and want me to bear the backlash

Yu Fan's eyes were dark, and his tone was deep: "Yesterday's secret report was that Dong Zhuochu intended to use Yuan Shu as the governor of Yangzhou and me as the governor of Jingzhou. Does Dong Hei want me to separate from Yuan Shu

Mr. Kou knew the inside story and looked at the northwest with a furrowed brow, pondering, "Yuan Shu dug up the imperial jade seal according to the news from the lord, so he already trusts the lord very much. This person's short sightedness is not worth worrying about. It is estimated that Dong Zhuo also considered this. Seeing that Ye Qing was in control of two states, he decided to appoint the lord as the governor of Yuzhou... No matter which side tolerated Ye Qing's continued power, the situation of surrounding him on all sides would become severe, and it would be difficult for Ye Qing to expand further

The lord was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, although it was the plan of Dong Zhuo, it can still be considered a legitimate appointment. He became the true frontier official of this country and held the position of Qing

The only regret is that due to the Empress Dowager's escape with the six imperial seals, the Han court controlled by Dong Zhuo no longer has complete legitimacy. The Yeqing Yuzhou Governor is also legal, so it must be contested before it can be finally implemented

Yu Fan nodded, no one understood the difficulties of this archenemy better than him. The strength of the situation would only be known after fighting

Startled, he looked at the army entering the camp in the distance - the camp was full of cold white soldiers, rushing out several yards. This was the result of two years of military campaigns against local tycoons and the Shan Yue tribe.

Unfortunately, the water network in the south is dense, the terrain is limited to large-scale warfare, and there is a shortage of horses. The quality of military morale trained can only reach the level of white morale.

Fortunately, with a scale of 100000 troops, should we exclude the possibility of our eldest son Sun Ce taking away 20000 troops and the local garrison of 30000... In this long drought stricken country, besides the water town of Jingyang, where else can we provide for 15 armies?

Even the total military strength of Cao Cao and Tao Qian is only this number.

A cloud drifted over from the southeast, tinged with a hint of dark red, and the air was oppressive and oppressive.

Ah, it's time for rain, "Yu Fan said, her eyes calmly looking north, as if she had already heard the fierce killing sound.
