Yuan Shu took the oath of surrender in Xindu and led 30,000 Winged Tigers and 5,000 Guards, supplemented by 20,000 civilian regiments. A total of 55,000 troops set out from Xindu and headed towards Jingzhou.
Yuan Shu's decree swept through all directions and shocked China. After receiving the decree, various places responded one after another. First, Wang Lang, the Mu of Sizhou, led 30,000 troops out of Luoyang and attacked Yiyang, the capital of Sizhou where Wang Qian established himself.
On the third day of the Yiyang City Slope, the brave king Wang Qian was defeated and died, and the Hongnong Wang family was killed by three tribes.
Wang Gan was beheaded, and the Sizhou rebels howled. At this time, Dong Zhao, the pastor of Bingzhou, also led his army south to support. The two of them went south and north, and it didn't take long to wipe out the entire Sizhou rebellion.
After taking Sizhou, Wang Lang and Dong Zhao led their troops westward and directly entered Yongzhou. They cooperated with Yongzhou Lieutenant to attack Linjin in one fell swoop. The puppet king Zhou Xu was defeated and died. The Zhou family, a century-old family, was killed by three clans. Together with the Zhou family, they rebelled. The entire Yuan De family was wiped out.
Zhou Xu was killed, and the Yongzhou rebels howled and had no choice but to retreat hurriedly south towards Yizhou. However, Wu Yi's 30,000 troops in Yizhou pushed all the way from south to north, and finally joined Wang Lang and Dong Zhao in Wudu County. Annihilate all the rebels.
While Wang Lang swept through the Sizhou rebels, Zhong Yao, the governor of Yuzhou, and Tian Yu, the governor of Yanzhou, swept across and defeated Song Jie, the pseudo-prefect of the New Han Dynasty. He was besieged in Chenliu in a short time and was finally defeated. He died and was executed by three clans.
After Song Jie's death, the situation in Yuzhou collapsed instantly. The Chinese army swept across all directions, and the rebels who were defeated were retreating steadily, and finally they could only retreat towards Nanyang.
It was even simpler in Yangzhou. Although Zhang Hong mobilized heavy troops in Jinchun, there were also many soldiers and horses in various places. After receiving Yuan Shu's order to attack in an all-out manner, Dian Wei led 5,000 guards as the vanguard and charged on all sides.
First, they annihilated Baiqu, the pseudo-prefect, in Panyang County, then attacked Linchuan, and beheaded Chen Qing, the pseudo-prefect, in Xiping. Then they sent their troops to the west, running for hundreds of miles in three days, and in Jianping, Jian'an County, they conferred the title of Nan of the New Han Dynasty. Wang Wengyu beheaded him.
Dian and Wei fought several battles for several days, and the Yangzhou rebels who were directly attacked fell apart and were extremely frightened. After Dian and Wei, Zang Ba led 30,000 Xuzhou troops from Jinchun and headed eastward, defeating six rebel armies and annihilating more than 20,000 enemies.
The two paths went hand in hand, and the Ban Yue Guangjing Yangzhou rebellion was completely wiped out. There were many participants from the major Yangzhou aristocratic families, which led to the fact that after the First World War, the Yangzhou aristocratic families had declined from ten to seventy-eight.
In just one and a half months, only Jingzhou was still supporting the intensifying rebellion of the five states in China, and Yuan Shu's army also went directly to Yingchuan County. After fighting with Zhong Yao and Tian Yu there, the troops and horses had reached One hundred thousand people.
A hundred thousand troops marched towards Jingzhou in such a mighty manner.
"Report, urgent report from Yuzhou."
"read."
Huang Wan's eyes were full of exhaustion. He had been unable to sleep for several days.
Some time ago, there were flowers blooming all over China, and those who wanted to be crowned kings and officials were reluctant to give up. People from the four states also came to the court one after another, willing to obey the new Han Dynasty in Xiangyang.
Seeing that the situation was getting better and better, Huang Wan once thought that he would become a minister who would help the Han Dynasty to revitalize the Han Dynasty. He would soon overthrow China and reestablish the order of the Han Dynasty. He would soon become a famous minister spread in the history books.
But the news in the past few days made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his throat, like a lump in his throat.
First, Sizhou's brave king Wang Gan was defeated, and the Sizhou rebels were wiped out. Then Yongzhou Zhenwang Zhou Xu was killed. The Yongzhou rebels suffered heavy losses and then retreated to Yizhou to take over the Wu forces that were swept from south to north. Yi made dumplings in Wudu County and his entire army was wiped out.
Immediately afterwards, news from Yuzhou and Yangzhou came one after another. The rebels in the two states did not even make a sound, and the people who were killed fell on their backs. The rebels in Yuzhou were okay and withdrew to Nanyang where Zhang Fang was. The Nanwang of Yangzhou and the entire
The rebel group was wiped out.
"Yuan Shu and Zhong Yao, the governor of Yuzhou, have returned. They have left Yingchuan with one hundred thousand troops and are heading towards Jingzhou to kill."
The scout didn't care whether you slept well or not, and directly told you the military information he had just discovered.
"What did you say?
The false emperor Yuan Shu came to Jingzhou with a hundred thousand soldiers to kill him?"
Upon hearing the scout's words, Huang Wan immediately became excited and looked at the scout in disbelief.
"It's absolutely true. It is estimated that it will take at most seven days to reach the outside of Nanyang County."
Not only did the scout tell the news about going south this time, but he also made it clear when he would arrive.
"Go down."
Huang Wan was now more and more annoyed, and directly waved his hand to signal the scouts to go down.
"Immediately summon Xiang Lang and Zhou Mao to my residence to discuss matters."
After the scouts left, Huang Wan directly sent someone to call Xiang Lang and Zhou Mao.
"Wan Gong."
"Wan Gong."
The two of them directly cupped their fists and saluted Huang Wan. Looking at his scarlet eyes, they couldn't help but tremble, knowing that something bad must have happened again.
"I just received the latest news. The pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu and Zhong Yao reunited and led more than 100,000 troops out of Yingchuan to fight against Jingzhou."
Huang Wan had nothing to hide, so he directly revealed the news he had just received.
"What?
Is the false emperor Yuan Shu coming to kill you?"
After hearing Huang Wan's words, Xiang Lang and Zhou Mao couldn't sit still and stood up directly, full of disbelief.
"Yes, the scouts guess that it will take at most seven days to reach the Nanyang border."
Huang Wan nodded towards the two of them.
"Originally, I thought the fire wouldn't burn out so quickly, but now it seems like it's going to be a decisive battle."
Zhou Mao glanced at Huang Wan. He originally thought it would take some time, but he didn't expect that he would come so quickly. He was still going to fight in person, which was simply bullying.
"There is no other way. The decisive battle must be fought. This day will come early or late. In fact, it is not a bad thing for us if he comes so soon."
Looking at the two people with solemn faces, Xiang Lang smiled slightly and put forward a different opinion.
"How to say?"
Huang Wan looked at the young Xiang Lang, with a glint of hope flashing in his eyes. He hoped to hear some happy news from Xiang Lang.
"Although we rejected all the nine counties of Jingxiang and Xiangzhou, Nanyang was assigned to Zhang Fang. Changsha and Nanjun only obeyed Cai Mao's orders. Even Jiangxia was indirectly under his control.
There are not many places we really control. Our strength is just that. Compared with the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu who reigned in the old land of the Han Dynasty, we are too weak.
If Yuan Shu was given enough time, he would have gathered much more soldiers and horses than we did, but he came here so early, which proves that the soldiers and horses he gathered were not that powerful.
We still have a chance to defeat the 100,000-strong army. If we can defeat Yuan Shu, Xinhan still has hope. If we can't even stop the opponent now, let alone talk about the future."
Xiang Lang became more and more excited as he talked, and in the end he stood up even more excitedly.
"Wan Gong, what is this?"
Looking at Xiang Lang with flashing eyes, Zhou Mao was also in a daze, not knowing what to do now.
"Juda is right. Now that Yuan Shu is so anxious to kill, it must be an emergency. I got news that Jia Xu in the west has carried out a massacre of the city. The Guishan Empire is furious and urgently mobilizes troops from the western front to prepare.
Have a decisive battle with China,
Therefore, Yuan Shu's coming here must be to get rid of us as soon as possible, and then go all out to engage in a national war with the Kushan Empire. As long as we can withstand this attack, Yuan Shu will no longer be able to take care of us.
And isn't he a hundred thousand people? He immediately gathered his troops and prepared to fight him.
I believe that our New Han Dynasty, adhering to the destiny of heaven and earth, will definitely be able to win the battle and defeat the puppet emperor Yuan Shu."
Huang Wan also stood up. Xiang Lang was right. No matter what the comparison was, the gap between them and Yuan Shu was huge. Instead of waiting until Yuan Shu had finally assembled to fight with him, it was better to fight Yuan Shu now.
The decisive battle.
If you win, there will be heaven and earth; if you lose, you will return to your ashes and meet your ancestors and the emperors of the Han Dynasty.
"Then why don't you go and tell His Majesty?"
"Of course I have to say it. We have to fight Yuan Shu in a decisive battle, and Cai Mao's elite navy is indispensable. Now only Liu Biao can mobilize Cai Hao and his troops. Let's go and see him immediately."
When Liu Biao was mentioned, Huang Wan was also stunned, but since Liu Biao knew that his wife and children were killed, he has cooperated very well with him. Now that life and death are at stake, I believe he will not hold back.
A group of three people took a carriage and came directly to Liu Biao's mansion.
"Your Majesty, Huang Wan, please see Lang and Zhou Mao."
Liu Biao's security work has always been in charge of his personal guards. When the three arrived, the captain came to report the news to him directly.
