Since Liu Xiu raised the army, Wancheng is even more prosperous, it is the southern capital, it is a big city second only to Kyoto Luoyang, the Yellow Turban has repeatedly captured Wancheng, and they have all given up.
After Yuan Shu was appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang, he focused on strengthening the defense of Wancheng, mobilized a lot of grain and grass, and set up a general as a division here.
Nanyang can be said to have food, soldiers and iron here, so Yuan Shu was able to dominate Huainan.
Yuan Shu moved the Southern Emperor to Shouchun and left Zhang Xun to guard Nanyang, which is enough to prove Zhang Xun's loyalty and ability.
Zhang Xun is a descendant of Zhang Heng and the son of the famous hermit Zhang Bozu.
Zhang Bozu is Zhang Ji's mentor, and Deng Zilong of the Deng family in Nanyang is a hermit.
Zhang Ji took refuge in Liu Bei, and some of the Zhang clansmen left with the rise of Zhang Ji, and most of the clansmen served under Zhang Xun and firmly held the control of Nanyang.
After Zhang Xun was put back, there was a voice in Wancheng: Zhang Xun had secretly voted for Liu Bei, and this time he came back to offer Wancheng to Liu Bei.
Especially the Nanyang Deng family, it is only necessary to say that Zhang Xun is a traitor.
Nanyang Deng is the descendant of Deng Chen, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Deng Chen is Liu Xiu's brother-in-law, and he can't enter the 28 generals of Yuntai, but he is a relative of the emperor, and he has always been the head of the Deng family.
Although the head of the family, Deng Zilong, was not out of office, he single-handedly pushed He Jin to the position of general, but He Jin was stupid and caused chaos in the world.
Deng Zilong abandoned the world in a fit of anger, and his descendants had no great talent, so they could only rely on the head snake to maintain the authority of the Deng family.
Zhang Xun ignored the rumors, but he just wanted to defend the city, and continuously requisitioned grain, grass, and soldiers, which made the Wancheng scholars miserable.
Huang Zhong only besieged but did not attack, and there were already many scholars secretly communicating and willing to sacrifice the city, among which the Nanyang Deng clan was the most active.
Liu Bei's general trend has been achieved, Yuan Shu vainly proclaimed himself emperor, but it was yesterday's yellow flower, failure is a matter of time, Zhang Xun is willing to bury Yuan Shu, he is unwilling.
Shouchun, Yuan Shu got Zhang Xun's urgent report, his face was pale, it was only a long time, but it was only half a month.
Zhang Liao had just reorganized his army out of the Great Wall, Liu Bei's army had just arrived in Hedong, Zhang Fei had just come out of Chaoge, Zang Hong had not yet left Dongjun, and the entire Nanyang was gone.
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! ”
Yuan Shu angrily wanted to cut people, his troop transfer order had just arrived in Runan, Zhang Xun lost Nanyang, and Qiao Rui would only defend it one by one, didn't he know the truth that he would lose if he defended it for a long time?
"Your Majesty is angry, what is the top priority to solve? Do you want to send reinforcements? Do you want to contact Jin Jun again? ”
Yan Xiang saw Yuan Shu angrily and admonished.
Yuan Shu didn't know that this was his own trouble, otherwise everyone would guard each county, or would they be allies?
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu hated Zhang Xun even more, you said that you have nothing to do to practice the army, why do you want to go to Wuguan, this is to provoke a hornet's nest!
Yuan Shu forgot that Zhang Xun asked him several times to return Wuguan to Liu Bei and deepen the alliance between the two sides.
"What do you all say?"
Yuan Shu said angrily.
Everyone knew that Yuan Shu was angry, so they all kept silent.
Yuan Shu saw that no one spoke, and he was even more angry: "Aren't you usually able to speak?" If you want to crusade against the Jin army, what about now? Why don't you say it? Okay, okay, don't say it, right! Yang Hong, you say, remember to crusade against the Jin army, you shouted the most. ”
Yang Hong couldn't help but secretly complain when he heard this, he shouted to crusade against the Jin army, didn't Yuan Shu want such a statement?
I didn't expect to set himself on fire today, but Yuan Shu and the hundred officials all looked at him, and Yang Hong had to bite the bullet and say: "The war is invincible, it's better to seek peace?"
Yang Hong's tone was not firm, but he couldn't guess Yuan Shu's mind now.
"Summation?"
Seeking peace is to bow his head to Liu Bei, and letting Yuan Shu bow his head is undoubtedly a slap in the face, Yuan Shu's face suddenly became gloomy, and Yang Hong was so frightened that the three souls lost two souls.
Yan Xiang said: "Your Majesty, what Yang Sikong said is true, now that the King of Jin is going all out to take Hebei, if you want to be distracted, someone has to contain Cao Cao, is there anything more suitable than the lord now?" As long as the king of Jin still uses the lord, this is not a peace. ”
"Okay!"
Yuan Shu had to agree with Yan Xiang's opinion and sent someone to Chang'an to negotiate.
"Who wants to go to Chang'an."
"I want to go."
Yang Hong finally saw Yuan Shu's weakness, and while thanking Yan Xiang for his help, he made up his mind to contact the Jin army more so that he could plan for the future.
"Hmmm! All right! ”
Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong, although he was not satisfied, he had no better candidate.
Yuan Shu then threw out another sentence: "The Jin army can make peace, Cao Cao must not let it occupy the Chen State again, where is Ji Ling?"
"The minister is here."
Because Ji Ling was given to Yuan Shu by Liu Bei, although Ji Ling did not contact Liu Bei again, Yuan Shu has always been very reluctant in his heart, especially after the war with Liu Bei, now that the two armies are making peace, this general naturally can no longer be idle, and said at the moment: "Ordered Er to lead an army of 50,000 and go to Chen Guo to help Qiaorui."
"Whoa!"
Although Ji Ling's face was expressionless, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, he had always been treated by the lord with blue eyes, and no one was comfortable.
Yang Hongjing did not mention it since he went to Chang'an, but a major event happened in Yingchuan, as soon as the front foot of Runan Guard came out of Runan City, Runan was occupied by Liu Pi and Gong Du by the Yellow Turban Thieves.
The connection between Yingchuan and Huainan was severed, and Jin Shang (formerly Yanzhou Assassin), the assassin of Yuzhou appointed by Yuan Shu, led an army to attack from Yingchuan, but was beheaded by the Yellow Turban.
For a time, Yuzhou had no owner, and the Yingchuan scholars jointly raised Henan Yin Zhenghun as the assassin of Yuzhou, and Zheng Hun was immediately sent to the forbidden Yingchuan, and Yingchuan surrendered to the Jin army within a few days.
After Yuan Shu got the news, he almost vomited blood in anger.
In just more than half a month, he lost the essence of Nanyang, Runan, Yingchuan and other places, especially Runan is his hometown, Yuan Shu immediately led the army to prepare to enter Runan, and Ji Ling, who was sent to support Qiaorui, was transferred back and re-marched towards Runan.
The battle in Nanyang almost fell into peace, but everyone knew that Nanyang would be owned by the Jin army.
For this reason, Liu Biao urgently ordered Cai Mao to attack Xinye, otherwise Nanyang really has nothing to do with Liu Biao? At the same time, Liu Biao sent Zhang Yun to lead the army to Xinye, and the sailors went down the river.
Of course, Cai Mao knew the urgency of the matter, so he blindly attacked Xinye regardless of the casualties, and the pressure on the three generals of Xinye increased greatly, so he urgently transferred Niu Jin back to Xinye.
After hesitating repeatedly, Niu Jin finally abandoned Yuyang and led his army to Xinye.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I got out of the city, I encountered a team of Han troops, it was Niu Jin's defeated general Shen Yi, the two fought dozens of times, and Shen Yi retreated in defeat.
Niu Jin continued to move forward, the road was ambushed by Meng Da, the two armies fought, and then Shen Yi killed from behind, Niu Jin was attacked by Shen Yi and Niu Jin back and forth, and the army was in chaos.
Niu Jin had no choice but to lead his troops to break through, Shen Yi and Meng Da watched Niu Jin leave, and commanded his subordinates to surrender Niu Jin's troops.
Niu Jin saw that Xinye couldn't go, so he had to temporarily retreat to Yuyang.
Unexpectedly, just about to call the door, an arrow shot down on the head of the city, fortunately Niu Jin was skilled in martial arts to avoid this dark arrow, and then looked up to see the city head hung Liu Zi flag, Niu Jin Zaimu, but also knew that Yuyang was attacked by the Jin army.
Niu Jin was angry from his heart, and couldn't help but scold: "Who is the rat generation, you dare to attack your grandfather's city."
Niu Jin scolded vigorously, the city gate opened in a creak, a young general slapped the horse out, only to see that the young general was extraordinary, Niu Jin shouted: "Who will come?"
"The one who takes the first level, Yiyang Wei Yan is also!"
Niu Jin was furious when he heard this, and took Wei Yan directly.
The two fought dozens of times, and Niu Jin was captured.
Lei Bo and the three of them did not see the reinforcements for a long time, and immediately abandoned the city and fled, nowhere to be found, and since then Xinye has been owned by Liu Biao.
Liu Bei and Liu Biao took Shuishui as the north-south boundary and Bishui as the east-west boundary to divide Nanyang.
Liu Biao divided Xinye, Caiyang, Huyang, Xiangxiang, Fuyang, Pingshi, Zhangling and other counties into Xinye counties to resist the Jin army that might move south.
