Cai Mao tried his best to control the situation.

But the surroundings had fallen into chaos, the noisy war drums could no longer be heard, and no one paid attention to the flags on the main ship.

Everyone was scrambling to escape.

But the greater the chaos, the slimmer the hope of survival.

From the moment they followed Cai Mao and wanted to invade Xiangyang, they were destined to end like this.

"put!"

Following Wenpin's order.

Hundreds of crossbows were fired simultaneously, but they were not aimed at the warships of the Jiangdong Navy.

Instead, it was aimed at the river, and each arm-thick crossbow arrow had a long chain behind it.

The blockade of the entire river was completed in an instant.

Even if the fire and gas were to blow out later, if the Jiangdong navy wanted to perish together with the Han navy, there would be no way to get close.

"Rocket ready!"

"put!"

As fire rain fell from the sky, raging fires burned on the river.

Tens of thousands of Jiangdong naval forces were burned to the ground.

Cai Hao and Lu Jun could not escape either.

People in the world often say that fire and water are merciless. No matter what their status is, they will all end up being burned by the fire.

"I'm not willing to give in! I'm not willing to give in!"

Cai Mao let out one last scream, and then his whole body was swallowed up by the flames.

Lu Jun's eyes were blank, and he stood there blankly as the flames bit by bit.

The Jiangdong family's last hope had completely turned into a wasteland at this time.

……

the other side.

Liu Xie was not idle either. He led his army to attack Nanjun after conquering Jiangxia.

Now in the entire Jingxiang land, only Nanjun is still struggling to survive.

But he couldn't hold on for long.

Because most of the Nanjun officials saw that the situation was not good, they had already begun to contact the Han army, wanting to surrender in exchange for a way out.

The only ones left to resist desperately are the four major aristocratic families and the remnants of Liu Biao's army.

But these people can't afford to make waves.

Not long after, they were all tied up and brought to the city gate, where they were sacrificed to Liu Xie.

At this point, the entire Jingxiang land was recovered by Liu Xie.

Except for Yizhou and Liangzhou, the entire Han Dynasty basically returned to the control of the imperial court.

……

Liu Zhang, who was still drinking wine and eating snacks, felt bad after hearing this.

"What! Liu Xie's kid is so fast. Those aristocratic families are also useless. They can't even deal with a yellow-mouthed kid."

Liu Zhang cursed on the outside, but in fact he was panicking inside.

These aristocratic families are gone, so naturally the only one who has to be dealt with next is himself.

To the west, Ma Teng and Han Sui were just outsiders. Seeing the strength of the Han Dynasty, they must have started contacting the courtiers early and were ready to re-attach themselves at any time.

"Your Majesty, it's useless to say all this now. If we don't take precautions, the Han army will come in."

Li Hui reminded.

"I don't need you to remind me. I know what to do. Go find Yan Yan, Zhang Song, Huang Quan and others."

Liu Zhang only panicked for a moment, but thought of the capable ministers and generals under his command, and immediately stopped panicking.Except for Wu Yi who had taken refuge with Liu Xie, as well as Zhang Ren, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others who were captured.

Liu Zhang also had a number of generals under him, including Yan Yan, Liu Huang, Ling Bao, Deng Xian, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Meng Da, Zhang Yi, Liu Hao, Ma Han, etc.

Among them, Yan Yan is the only one who can be called first-rate, and the others can only be regarded as third-rate generals.

But now it is difficult to find third-rate military generals in the entire Han Dynasty.

If nothing else, he is at least countless times stronger than those unknown people.

In terms of civil servants, Liu Zhang had no shortage of subordinates. In addition to Fazheng, who had taken refuge with Liu Xie, there were also Xu Jing, Liu Ba, Huang Quan, Li Hui, Fei Shi, Qin Mi, Dong He, Zhang Song and others.

It can be described as an abundance of talents.

In addition, there are natural dangers on the Shu Road. As long as the key nodes are guarded, even if the opponent has thousands of troops, they can be kept out.

……

After taking Nanjun, Liu Xie finally saw Liu Bian.

It should have been seen a few days earlier, but after Mao Xiang ran to Hulin, he found out that the army had already arrived in Jiangxia and turned back, which took a lot of time.

Liu Xieping withdrew, leaving only himself and Liu Bian.

The two sides sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other with a dull expression.

Liu Bian also changed from his usual cowardice and straightened up to look at Liu Xie.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Liu Xie thought Liu Bian would directly beg for mercy, but he didn't expect him to say a word. This was beyond imagination.

It seems that Liu Bian has grown a lot since he was kidnapped and moved around most of the Han Dynasty.

"What can I say? It's just a success or failure! I have the courage to support the Han Dynasty in defeating the generals, but it's a pity that fate is not in my hands, and time is also destiny!
You are just lucky enough to have a group of courtiers who are loyal to the Han Dynasty. If I could have the same luck, I would be no worse than you now. "

Liu Bian looked like he was lucky because of you. He stared at Liu Xie intently, as if he was thinking that if destiny was on him, then he should be the one in charge of the world now wearing a dragon robe.

"Hahaha! It's a good saying. It means time and destiny. When you sit at home, can those ministers fall from the sky to you?
Or do you think that the rebellion of the Han Dynasty can be put down without any use and as long as the power is distributed to those ministers? "

Liu Xie looked at Liu Bian with a strange expression.

I thought he had grown up, but I didn't expect that he was still so stubborn.

I really thought that if we rule by hanging down the arch, the world will be peaceful.

There is no such easy emperor in the world.

"Is not it?"

Liu Bian asked rhetorically.

"If so, then why is there the rebellion of Dong and Thieves? Then why is there the rebellion of Li Jue and Guo Si? Why is there the rebellion of the kings?

Now that all the ministers in the world are standing in front of you, can you tell which one is loyal and which one is treacherous?
There is no destiny in the world, it is nothing more than the coronation given by the victor. "

Liu Xie looked at Liu Bian with regret.

I originally thought about using him as bait to fish out the thieves who were hiding deeper.

Now it seems that there is no need for this. If this idiot is sold, he probably has to help people pay for it!

If you really use him as bait, it will cause disaster sooner or later.

"Haha! The theory of destiny has been around since ancient times. If you don't understand it, it means you are not the person of destiny. If the world of the Han Dynasty is handed over to you, it will be taken away by others sooner or later. If you don't hand it over to me, I will definitely be able to reappear. The great man is brilliant.”

Liu Bian's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly.

"You haven't woken up from your sweet dream, and you are no longer the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Originally, you could have gone smoothly and had a peaceful life, but you secretly claimed to be an emperor, which is an unforgivable sin.

Now that I can't even be the Hongnong King, go back and wait for Da Zongzheng's trial!

As a descendant of the royal family, he did something that was detrimental to the dignity of the royal family and the fate of the country.

is to be expelled from the family tree.

From today on, your name will no longer appear on the Liu family tree. "(End of chapter)
