Chapter 329 The Fall of Jiangnan
Yingzhen waited in Shanglin Garden for a few days, but instead of Cao Xiaozhi, she waited for Shuixiu.
But when he saw the serious expression on Shui Xiu's face, he knew that something was serious.

Sure enough, in the Pipa Garden, Shuixiu revealed all the news he brought back overnight. He has a secret method that requires a lot of blood, and it takes two days to reach Chang'an from Jiangnan.

Tianji Pavilion attacked Jiangnan Road with all its strength half a month ago. At the critical moment of the Battle of Ganzhou, the Jiangnan Sui family suddenly turned to Ye Xuan. The combination of internal and external forces led to a major defeat for the coalition forces of Li Yuanying and Song Linghui in Ganzhou, with casualties as high as With more than [-] people, Li Yuanying had no choice but to retreat to the Lingnan area in order to preserve his strength and wait for the imperial court's rescue.

As a result, Ye Chong personally led an army of 20 and drove straight down. He not only captured the entire Jiangnan Road, but also captured Li Yuanying and Lu Zhengguang alive in the battle of Qingzhou in Lingnan. In this battle, the Jiangnan army died and surrendered. Song Linghui led the remaining troops Fleeing to Shannan Road, Qiu Shenji, who was based in Changsha, led his army to Jiangzhou to meet him.

According to Shuixiu, within five days, the whole world will know that Tianji Pavilion has occupied nearly half of Dazhou.

This is really not good news. After Qingwan found out, she was even more anxious, and wanted to take Lu Feng to the border of Shannan Road immediately, and discuss with Protector Qiu on what terms she could exchange for Lu Zhengguang.

In fact, the most unexpected thing in this whole incident was the surrender of the Sui family. Even if their relationship with Guangmingding was not good, they shouldn't have made such a choice.

The whole news immediately put Yingzhen in a dilemma. Should she stay in Chang'an to find out about her parents' bizarre transformation into immortals, or should she immediately leave for Jiangzhou to take charge of the overall situation?

In the Pipa Garden, everyone's faces were not very good.

Sleeve said:

"I came here as quickly as possible. Presumably the court will receive the news tomorrow at the latest. Li Li's Tianci Mansion was immediately commanded by the king's commander Xu Jingye. After a big battle, he probably wanted to slow down Ye Chong's southward speed, but the surrender of the Sui family was indeed too surprising, causing the entire Jiangnan Road to be captured within fifteen days. Ye Baoling, armed with [-] soldiers, confronted Xu Jingye on Shandong Road. If it took a long time, allowing Tianji Pavilion to digest the surrendered troops in Jiangnan and Lingnan areas, and then trying to regain Lingnan, it would be impossible. In this battle, the Qianfeng camp Fortunately, Song Linghui moved the family members in the mountain city to Shannan Road one step ahead of time, otherwise, Song Linghui may only die in battle."

"The next key lies in Xingzhou on the border of Hebei Road and Shandong Road and Jiangzhou in Shannan Road. There will inevitably be two super wars in these two places. If they lose, Tianji Pavilion will be firmly established in the eastern border of the Great Zhou. Almost It’s an outcome that no one can change.”

Jiang Qinghui asked:

"Is Ye Xuan showing up?"

Shuixiu shook his head and said:
"No, as long as the master is not in Shannan Road for a day, Ye Xuan will not show up if he wants to, but it cannot be denied that Tianji Pavilion can take over the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty at such a fast speed. In the bag, the real decision maker behind it is undoubtedly Ye Xuan himself, "

Shuixiu looked at Yingzhen:

"Master, once we lose in the battle of Jiangzhou, we will completely lose our ability to advance eastward for a long time in the future. As for Chang'an, let me stay. Master also knows my ability to inquire about news. I will definitely not disappoint my master."

Yingzhen turned to look at Jiang Qinghui, and said, "What do you think?"

Jiang Qinghui frowned and nodded:

"It happened suddenly, we can only solve the problem of Shannan Road first."

Yingzhen nodded:

"You and Wan'er set off for Jiangzhou first, and spread the news that all those who are coming to Chang'an will turn back to Shannan Road. Ning'er and I will go to the same Jiannan. Dugu Jing and Ye Xuan have an old relationship. I'm afraid that this old boy At that time, it will hold us back,"

Jiang Qinghui said: "Okay, I'll leave now."

Yingzhen then ordered Jiang Peining to bring the news to Li Wen and let the latter try to contact Li Qingxue. Yingzhen wanted to see him before leaving Chang'an.

Not long after Jiang Qinghui left, Cao Xiaozhi came, and after learning about the situation, he promised to do his best to cooperate with Shui Xiu to find out the matter.
restaurant lobby,

Chu Guangnan was sitting and drinking alone. He just went to the old house of Di Nong, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and found no clues. There are only seven or eight gardeners and servants left in the whole house. Next, I'm afraid the owner has changed long ago.

As for Qin Tianjian, he has also been there, and he naturally knows that those ancient books are now in Yingzhen's hands. Zhen's movements.

Li Qingxue sat in front of him with a bowl, poured herself a bowl of wine, and then told what happened in Jiangnan Road. After speaking, she drank the wine and got up to leave.

Chu Guangnan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but he knew the meaning of the other party's words. The Eastern Territory was in chaos, and Northern Xia would definitely take this opportunity to go south. Taking Jiangnan and Lingnan ahead of time, the northern army will almost fall into the disadvantage of having no reinforcements and resisting the Northern Xia cavalry alone. The food and grass alone will be stretched immediately.

The reason why both Ning Mu and Li Qingxue wanted to persuade them to return to northern Xinjiang was because Qin Guang's health had deteriorated over the years, and he could not even get out of bed alone in severe cases. Of course, only a very few people knew this news, and the intelligence from Beixia's side Among them, he still thinks that Qin Guang is old and strong, because Mr. Zhenbei has as many as three substitutes.

But if something went wrong with Qin Guang, the seemingly indestructible defense line of the northern border would be in jeopardy immediately.

Chu Guangnan sighed, drank a jar of wine in one go, got up and went to the Marshal's Mansion.

When he left Chang'an, an imperial decree followed.

Emperor Li Yan, canonized Chu Guangnan as a general, Bo Yuanhou, assisted Qin Guang, and presided over the military affairs of the northern border. This is the fourth general of the Great Zhou Dynasty after Qin Guang, Chen Ting, and Ning Mu. , no objection.

Li Qingxue met Yingzhen in the Pipa Garden, and after the two discussed it, Li Qingxue rushed to Hebei Road alone. With her around, Li Li would devote all his efforts to deal with Tianji Pavilion.

On the other hand, Ying Zhen and Jiang Pei Ning used all their strength to go to Chengdu. If Du Gu Jing was obedient, he would obediently hand over the halberd pawns in his hands.

Yingzhen knew that the battle of Jiangzhou must not be lost, and the current military strength of Shannan Road is not enough to deal with Ye Chong, so Jiannan Road with abundant troops has become a force that cannot be ignored.
