Han Xiang

Chapter 644 The whole territory of Yangzhou returns to Longxiang

Huang Zhong had not received any honors for decades, and when he was about to apply for military service, he was challenged by Dong Xi. At Long Xiang's signal, Huang Zhong leaped out of the battle.

Dong Xi was afraid that outsiders would say that he bullied the weak, so when Huang Zhong went out to fight, he raised his sword and shouted: "Dong will not kill the unknown general. I will inform you of the name first, and then I will die soon."

"Nanyang Huang Zhong."

"Ok?"

Dong Xi heard the sound, but couldn't remember who it was.

Seeing that the opponent had already rushed out, he immediately mounted his horse and raised his sword to meet him. He thought that he would first kill the old guy to establish his power, and then find a way to delay the attack.

When the large army captures Chen County, he can occupy the city and consume Longxiang.

Xu Chu's evil reputation resounded throughout Jiangdong, and Dong Xi thought he was no match for him.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them clashed with each other.

Dong Xi was eight feet tall and was considered a powerful general under Sun Quan, but he was defeated by Huang Zhong in the first round of sword wrestling.

hiss.
How is it possible that the old man is so powerful?

Dong Xi's hands were numb and his heart was horrified. When he rushed back between attacks, he adjusted his mentality and planned to win with sword skills.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong's sword skills were even better, and he was very good at chopping, slashing, picking and other moves. Dong Xicang panicked for a few times, then slapped his horse and fled.

Dong Xixin said it wasn't that I didn't fight hard, but that this old guy was far more powerful than him, and if he didn't run away, he would risk his life here.

When Huang Zhong saw that his opponent was timid and retreated, he took off the precious eagle bow from his waist and stretched the bow string like a full moon.

With a whooshing sound, the arrow left the string and penetrated the armor and bones.

With a scream, Dong Xi fell from his horse.

Before landing, he remembered who Huang Zhong was and that Xu Kun was shot dead by this man.

Why did I run just now?
Dong Xi's personal entourage was frightened, and a group of people rushed to snatch him away, but how could Huang Zhong let his prey escape?

He slapped his horse and danced his sword like a killing god coming to earth, and rushed into the heart of Gai like chopping melons and vegetables.

At this time, Long Xiang was not idle either. When he saw Huang Zhong's arrow shooting at Dong Xi's vest, he immediately ordered Xu Chu and Hu Wei to attack.

Dong Xi didn't have many personal followers, and the rest of them brought bluff, how could they stop the Tiger Guards from charging into the formation?Soon they collapsed like beasts.

Huang Zhong beheaded Dong Xi and worked with Long Xiang to cover up and drive away the defeated troops. In less than an hour, the siege of Chenxian County was lifted. The [-] "actors" recruited by "Director Dong" either surrendered or fled.

When Zhao Fan and Zhao Fan came out of the city to meet him, Long Xiang realized that there were enemies in the southwest of Guiyang.

Huang Zhong tasted the sweetness and asked for a fight again, and Xu Chu felt the pressure of competition and asked for a fight.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and since the battle was at home in Guiyang, Long Xiang asked Huang Zhong to retreat from Xing Daorong, and sent Xu Chu to retreat to Xiaopuguan.

Tens of thousands of defeated troops fled and there were hidden dangers in various places. Long Xiang was now the governor of the four counties in Jingnan and planned to help Guiyang solve the trouble, so he divided his forces with Zhao Fan to clean up.

As for the navy stationed in Leishui, Long Xiang ordered Lu Xun to take Dong Xi's head and go with Lai Gong to recover Lingling.

At this time, Long Xiang had many talents under his command, and he no longer had to do everything as he did in Hefei. He believed that Lu Xun had the ability to handle this matter well.

The Tiger Guard has the unique skill of flying rocks, and is more powerful in defending the city than attacking. When Xu Chu appeared at Xiaopu Pass, Bu Zhi was shocked and decisively withdrew his troops. He thought that he was not as good as Sun Ce, and he did not want to be injured by Xu Chu's flying rocks like Han Dang.

Xu Chu was frightened and walked away. Huang Zhong was in a similar situation.

Xing Daorong was known as General Lingling, but he did not dare to stand up to a truly fierce general. He had been ordered to transport supplies for Liu Pan, and had seen Huang Zhong's extraordinary martial arts, so he did not dare to fight when they first entered the battle.

When he heard that Huang Zhong's formation had killed Dong Xi, Xing Daorong led his troops to surrender without hesitation. He argued that it was Liu Duxian who surrendered to Lingling, and as a subordinate he had to obey.

When he saw Long Xiang, Xing Daorong paid homage to him, saying that he would follow General Zuo and be loyal to the Han Dynasty.Long Xiang found out why this situation suddenly happened more and more, and he remembered a sentence from the original world.

Before you became famous, you faced all kinds of cold looks and no one smiled at you. But after you become famous, you are surrounded by smiling faces and everyone is a good person.

this is the truth.

This was the same even in ancient times when family background was important.

Lu Xun did not disappoint Long Xiang. He used Dong Xi's head to scare the Quanling City Gate open. Liu Du, the prefect who was "swindled" by Dong Xi, accepted the Yangzhou army as a victim.

Although Liu Du was aware of current affairs, there was a high probability that he would no longer be able to serve as a county governor. His colleague Lai Gong had experience as a governor and was also a celebrity from Lingling, so he was arranged to take over some government affairs.

With Lu Xun's current status and prestige, he could not quickly stabilize the chaotic Lingling. He could only ask Long Xiang to go to Quanling to take charge for a period of time, and Guiyang would also need to borrow Long Xiang's reputation after the war.

As a result, Long Xiang, who thought he would have some free time, frequently traveled between Lingling and Guiyang.

Longxiang stayed in Lingling and Guiyang for nearly a hundred days. The order in the two counties was finally restored to that before the war. Most of the people who fled into the mountains came down to their hometowns.

At the same time, Lu Dai received good news from Jiangxia. Gui Lan and Dai Yuan succeeded in inviting the veteran Cheng Pu out of the army by unknown means.

Long Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said that if he had Cheng Pu's help, and with his high prestige in the Sun family, he could persuade half of Sun Quan's soldiers to surrender, he could attack Yuzhang in one go.

Considering that he would capture Jiaozhou in the future, Long Xiang left Lu Xun to garrison troops in Lingling while he led the main force back to Jiangxia.

When traveling to Linxiang to spend the night, he suddenly met Gong Zhi who came to report his funeral. Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, died of illness a few days ago.

Now Wuling has no leader, and I hope Long Xiang will take charge of the overall situation.

Long Xiang had the responsibility of supervising the four counties, so he could only go to Wuling halfway to stabilize the situation. Only when he arrived did he realize that Wuling was different from the other three counties. There were half ethnic groups in the county, and barbarians often violently resisted the law and the government.

Solving ethnic issues cannot be done overnight.

Long Xiang, as the prefecture shepherd at this time, could not do the work of the prefect. Seeing that Gong Zhi was alert and had a good official reputation, he asked him to temporarily take over the post of county governor.

It was not until the end of September that year that Long Xiang left Wuling and returned to Jiangxia.

At this time, both Wuling and Lingling needed new governors, and the power to appoint governors rested with the imperial court. Therefore, on his way back to Jiangxia, Long Xiang wrote a memorial and sent people to Chang'an.

Even though Longxiang had Cheng Pu to help him, the troops and horses had not yet moved forward with food and grass, and the impoverished Jiangxia did not have any, so they mobilized troops from Changsha and Wuling counties.

During the preparations for Jiangxia, Long Xiang received some good news.

Lu Su and Tai Shici successfully captured Xuzhou, and Jiangling generals took control of Madam Cai and took Liu Cong to Xiangyang to surrender Liu Qi. Jiang Qin led [-] naval troops to come to support and help Long Xiang completely solve Sun Quan's hidden dangers. .

Xuzhou was expected by Long Xiang, but Liu Cong's surrender and Jiang Qin's coming to help were unexpected.

Through Jiang Qin's mouth, Long Xiang learned that Cao Jun had not made any major moves. The emperor reorganized the court in Chang'an and did not even send troops to fight back Xuzhou after it was captured.

These events made the pro-Cao people in Jiangling completely despair, and Longxiang's decision to control the four counties in Jingnan during this period was the straw that broke the camel's back. They could not count on Cao Cao's wealth, so they surrendered before they were destroyed.

Jiang Qin's move south was Guan Yu's wish, which was a reward for Lu Su's help last year.

On the other hand, Jingzhou has been unified and Guan Yu, who has no worries, is ready to mobilize resources from all parties to launch an all-out offensive against Cao Ren.

At the end of the 15th year of Jian'an, Long Xiang was fully prepared in Jiangxia and sent out [-] troops from Wuchang.

Dong Xi died in Guiyang. Although Sun Quan tried his best to block the news, it still spread to all the armies. The pessimism was like winter fog, silently surrounding the surroundings.

Long Xiang's troops advanced by land and water, Cheng Pu and Jiang Qin acted as counter-guides, and troops were stationed in Chaisang, Pengze, Haihun and other places. Thirty percent of the soldiers rebelled before the war began, and there were even generals like He Qi who defected before the battle.

The Yangzhou army was unstoppable all the way. Sun Quan, who was celebrating the New Year in Nanchang, fled in panic. He fled to Luling and was overtaken by pioneer Huang Zhong. Finally, under the cover of Zhou Tai's death in battle, he fled to Jiaozhou in embarrassment through the mountain path.

At this point, Longxiang acquired the entire territory of Yangzhou and became the true Yangzhou pastoralist.
