The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 475 Nanyang Withdrawal
In Wancheng, Zhu Jun faced off with Yuan Jun for several days, waiting for the Shouchun war to end before delivering a fatal blow to Yuan Shao.

But today…

"Report!" The scout came to report, "General, the flag on the Wancheng tower has been changed."

"Huh?" Zhu Jun felt that something must have happened in Wancheng. "Wenda (characterized by Li Tong), Xingba (characterized by Gan Ning) and I will go to Wancheng to investigate."

Li Tong (Gan Ning): "The last general will obey his orders."

Gan Ning "has little strength but is a good ranger". But he is not doing his job properly. He often gathers a group of frivolous young people and appoints himself as the leader. They wandered around in groups, carrying bows and arrows, with bird feathers on their heads and bells on their bodies.

At that time, when the people heard the bell ringing, they knew that Gan Ning and his gang had arrived. People at that time called them "Jinfan Thieves". (Wherever the bell goes, there is no peace!)
Gan Ning was well-known in Ba County as a light knight who killed people and fled in hiding. Every time he came in or out, he was majestic and majestic. On the walking side, there are vehicles and horses, and on the water side, there are canoes. The attendants are clothed in beautiful clothes, and wherever they go, they shine with splendor. When staying, brocade is often used to maintain the boat, and when leaving, it is cut off and discarded to show its wealth and luxury.

If the local officials of the city or those who interact with him receive him in a grand manner, Gan Ning will be in love with him and will go through fire and water for him; if the etiquette is not good, Gan Ning will let his subordinates plunder the other party's property and even harm the official. Long official. This situation lasted until he was in his twenties.

Later, Gan Ning stopped attacking others. He read some books, studied the theories of various schools of thought, and wanted to make a difference, so he entered the official career, starting from Ji Peng, and gradually promoted to the county magistrate of Shu (rank 600 stones).

In the first year of Xingping (194), Liu Yan died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang took charge of Quanzhou. Under Liu He's instigation, Gan Ning, Shen Mi, Lou Fa and others rebelled against Liu Zhang, but were defeated by Zhao Wei. Gan Ning then led more than people to Jingzhou to rely on Liu Biao and stay in Nanyang (Nanyang is Gan Ning's ancestral home).

Later, when Yuan Shao came to Nanyang, Gan Ning saw that he could not be reused by Liu Biao and did not want to become Yuan Shao's subordinate. He gritted his teeth and became cruel, so he led his followers to defect to Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun. Now, Gan Ning is Zhu Jun's deputy general.

"Is this General Zhu Jun under the city?"

"Exactly, who are you?" Although Zhu Jun had heard of Liu Bei's name, he had never seen him.

"I am Liu Bei, the newly appointed Nanyang Governor of Jingzhou."

"Liu Bei? Prefect?" Zhu Jun was puzzled. He received information from Xiangyang that Liu Biao sent people to lead his army north. "So, Liu Biao sent you to reinforce Yuan Shao?"

"Hahaha..." Liu Bei laughed, "General, you misunderstood. I am not helping Yuan Shao."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"I urge the general to stop his troops."

"Hmph! You are so eloquent, aren't you here to help Yuan Shao?" As he spoke, Zhu Jun prepared to order people to attack the city.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Bei called Zhu Jun, "I will show the general something. If the general still wants to attack the city after reading it, then you and I will fight again."

"Okay, I want to see what tricks you are going to play."

Liu Bei ordered his men to take the brocade box out of the city, "General, please take a look."

"Humph!"

Zhu Jun was about to reach out and open it, but Li Tong stopped him and said, "General, be careful of hidden weapons."

"Yes." Zhu Jun used a riding crop to push open the lid of the brocade box. He saw a white cloth inside, covering something. Zhu Jun tore off the white cloth and said, "Huh?"

"General!"

Li Tong and Gan Ning quickly followed and were shocked when they saw the contents of the brocade box, "Huh? Yuan Shao!"

"Hahaha..." Liu Bei stood at the top of the city, "It is the rebellious minister Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and Yuan's intention to usurp the Han Dynasty was clearly exposed. As descendants of the great ancestor, we naturally cannot stand idly by. Therefore, I follow the orders of Liu Jingzhou , destroy the rebels."

"伱......"

"General Zhu, I have wiped out the rebellious minister Yuan Shao and his family, and the rest of the troops have set things right and are serving Liu Jingzhou."

Zhu Jun's face turned red with anger. Of course he understood what Liu Bei meant. I came to seize Nanyang under the banner of annihilating the rebellious ministers. Now the rebellious ministers have been killed. Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou and is under the stewardship of Jingzhou. You, Zhu Jun, lead the people to attack Jingzhou. What means? In your eyes, Zhu Jun, isn’t Jingzhou the territory of the Han Dynasty?

"Let's withdraw!"

The name was not justified, so Zhu Jun could only lead his troops to retreat temporarily. "Hahaha... In this case, I won't send the general away."

"Humph!"

Zhu Jun led his troops to retreat and "immediately send a message to the king about this matter."

"Here."

Shouchun.

Liu Han has been busy recovering from the war these days. Suddenly Jia Xu hurriedly came over and said, "My lord."

"Wen He?" Liu Han put down the pen in his hand, "Why are you so anxious?"

"Lord, Zhu Jun is reporting urgently."

When others heard Jia Xu's words, they also put down their pens and wanted to know what happened, "Zhu Jun? Wasn't he attacking Yuan Shao? Could it be that he was defeated?"

It was only possible to make Jia Xu lose his temper like this, "No way, General Zhu is a veteran on the battlefield..."

"Hmph! Be bold!" Liu Han read the information handed over by Jia Xu, "Liu Biao, Liu Bei, okay, what a good plan!"

Everyone received the information and was shocked by the content, "This..."

Who would have thought that Liu Biao, who had always been inactive, would join forces with Liu Bei to do this for him.

"Lord, then Nanyang..."

Liu Han stroked his forehead and said, "Let Zhu Jun withdraw."

It's definitely impossible to fight, at least not now.

"Yuan Shao, you are worse than Yuan Shu." Liu Han felt sad for Yuan Shao. Such an aggrieved death was rare in a hundred years.

"My lord, this will greatly increase Liu Bei's strength."

"Humph!"

Liu Bei captured Nanyang, and then ate Yuan Shao's generals, and received a large amount of blood, "He is really capable of yin."

As soon as Yuan fell down and everyone was full, Liu Bei probably woke up in the middle of the night and had to kowtow to Yuan Shu.

"I ordered Zhu Jun to station troops at Guangcheng Pass. He will definitely not be able to attack Nanyang this time." Seeing that he could not do anything, Liu Han planned to stop his losses in time. "The most important thing at the moment is the suppression and war in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jiujiang County." Later, we worked to support the people.”

"The second is post-war pensions. After three months of war, we have suffered considerable losses and we must recover as soon as possible."

Xun Yu stood up and said, "My lord, let's talk about Xuzhou and Yuzhou, this Jiujiang governor...My lord, now Jiujiang has become a front line, and with so many people massacred this time, post-war recovery work will be very difficult."

Liu Han thought about it and said, "He transferred Zheng Yi, the governor of Zhongshan, to be the governor of Jiujiang, and ordered Zhang Liao to lead an army of 20,000 to guard Hefei."

"Here."

To defend Hefei, apart from Zhang Liao, Liu Han could not think of a better candidate. He was the best candidate to deal with the Jiangdong rats.

"Jiujiang is under wartime control. Zheng Yi can protect people's livelihood and military supplies. As for post-war recovery... it can be regarded as a test for him."

"Here."

No one would have thought that the war would turn out like this. There were too many people killed this time, the Huaihe River was stagnant, and the recovery of Jiujiang County would take ten years.
