In late May, Lu Wanju fell in the Liyang.

And before them, Wujiang had already surrendered.

In early June, the army conquered Xunyang City, pushed the front line to the north of the Yangtze River, and looked across the river from Chaisang.

Daiyang and Anfeng were also calmed down in sequence.

At this point, Jiangbei, except for some areas in Xuzhou, captured everything.

As the epidemic in the army gradually increased, Zhang Shuo ordered the army to scatter all over the place, sweep away the remaining enemies, and then go into rest.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, Zhuge Hui led the Jingzhou navy to the east and headed straight to the Chingkou.

The two sword naval masters, who had not yet completed the training in the Daliang Dynasty, also started to gather in Wuchang and Xiakou areas.

Zhuge Hui did not lead many army, but it was really not suitable for war. His main purpose was to defeat and force the Jiangzhou Navy and seize the water village. He was the largest naval base in Jiangzhou.

The news from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River naturally came back to the lower reaches one after another, and for a moment, the world is full of things, and it goes without saying.

On the day Zhuge Hui sent troops, Liu Chao and Zhao Yin had already captured Yangxian City and killed very hard.

At this time, they couldn't fight anymore, and they didn't have much enthusiasm.

It was raining in the afternoon, dispersing the bloody smell in Yangxian City.

Zhou Zha's old head was hung high, and there were also a group of Zhou's children.

If it were put a month or two ago, it would be a reasonable achievement to destroy the Zhou family, but now no one has the heart to celebrate.

Because Wang Dao came out to persuade them, they had enough food and equipment now, and the two units had 40,000 troops, which looked quite a lot, but these soldiers could only fight against barbarian chiefs and local tyrants, and had no chance of winning against the main force of the Liang army.

This is the biggest dilemma of the Wu people. If you can't win in the field, everything is equal to zero.

If it weren't for the continuous rain in mid-to-late May, the high temperature and hot summer in June, and the number of Liang Jun's illnesses increased, they might have been defeated now, instead of being able to survive.

However, anyone with eyes can see that the Jin Dynasty has not had much time, and it may have reached its last moment.

The rain stopped in the evening, and Kadai found a small donkey, quietly left Yangxian, and headed north.

He was originally a Shangshulang in the court, but was appointed as the prefect of Yixing a few days ago. After he came over, he became more and more afraid, so he made up his mind to be improper and ran away.

Walking north from Yangxian, there are big roads and small roads. Katan doesn't even walk on the fucking paths, and almost interspers in the farmland, making the more than 30 followers feel like they are drifting.

This is really a bit dangerous!

Fortunately, their group of people are well-equipped, with no shortage of bows, swords, guns and cards. There are even more than a dozen people wearing armor and stomachs in hot weather, looking like they are ready to kill at any time, which makes small-scale bandits afraid to make a rash. This is not a caravan. If they kill them, they will not be able to grab any wealth, but they may die. It is not that they cannot beat them, but that they are not worth it.

As for the rich people in the countryside, they had more concerns than the bandits.

It’s just a few people who are alone, and it’s also a matter of money to capture them as slaves, but there’s no need for a fully armed team.

Furthermore, they are in a state of panic now,

"The army is fighting and killing, and the farmland is trampled over and over again. How do you live next?" Bian sighed while resting halfway.

"Lord, the Zhou family is gone, who will care about this?" A clan said with a smile.

"The Zhou family is gone, and the people are still there." After halfway through, Bian Dan sighed and said nothing.

There are many new tombs in the wilderness, and it is obvious that they are all the people of Yixing who have died in recent months. But those who have burial places are lucky. Most people don’t know where they die. Yixing has been so impatient for several months and has suffered a lot of losses.

"Forget it." Bian Dan shook his head and said, "In this world, it is not easy for anyone to live, so how can he care about so many things?

What's going on in my house? I'm worried!"

*******

On June 15th, I sneaked back home.

The Secretary of State ordered the pot to be cut straight, and when he saw his son running back, he picked up a wooden stick and wanted to beat it.

Kadan ran away with his head in his arms and slipped out of Wuyi Lane. Unexpectedly, he met Wang Tian at the entrance of the alley.

"Jingyu? Are you still wandering around?" Ka said in surprise.

"Yan Ke? You abandoned your official position and ran away?" Wang Tian was even more surprised.

"Why are you abandoning your official position and running away? Just hang your seal and leave." Katan said.

Wang Tian looked up and down and said, "How come he is so embarrassed? Was he being chased?"

Bian Yishi argued: "It's a matter of hanging the seal and leaving. What's the matter of chasing or not?"

"That's the past." Wang Tian shook his head and said, "I just came back from Yangxian and sent a batch of arrows to Liu Chao and Zhao Yin. They are crazy now and are very murderous. Some Ding Zhuang of Xie left the camp, but only more than a hundred people ran out for more than ten miles. They chased after them all, killing them completely, with their heads hanging on the gate. There are also children of Liu's family in Pengcheng who were originally aides in the army and said goodbye to Liu Chao, but were beaten to death in public."

Shi Dan lowered his head and said nothing.

Of course he knew these things, and this was the main reason why he rushed into the wilderness along the way.

I was afraid of being caught and killed.

As Wang Tian said, Liu Chao and Zhao Yin were already crazy.

The former was in Yixing, and Wuxing committed many murderous crimes, which offended many people. A while ago, the Silver Spear Army attacked Guangde, and Liu Chao sent troops to aid as soon as possible, which was exhausted until heavy rains continued, and the Liang army had no choice but to retreat.

Zhao Yin killed all the wounded soldiers of the Liang army who were stranded in Jincheng and could not break through.

These two men have no way out. They are very crazy now and they will take a bite if they catch anyone.

"You are still rushing to send arrows?" Bian Dan also looked at Wang Tian and said, "Zhuge Hui has surrendered and has no help. At this time, send arrows, aren't you afraid of adding another sum to the account?"

"What can I do? No one is available, my father forced me to go." Wang Tian said helplessly.

"No one is available?" Katan said in surprise: "Has Jianyou looked like this? Only a few days have passed?"

"The number of people who resigned from Jingzhou after the enemy surrendered to the enemy has increased significantly. All government offices are short of people, and they are extremely short of them." Wang Tian said, "I don't know how many people in the court are jealous and hateful to Zhuge Hui. By the way, what's wrong with Zhuge Yi?"

"Die." Bian Dan said expressionlessly: "He followed Zhao Yin to the south. After hearing that Zhuge Daoming surrendered,

He was beheaded by Zhao Yin as a thief."

"He is so old and he will not have a good end, alas." Wang Tian sighed, "He has actually been doing his best to do his best and was wronged."

"You all say that Liu and Zhao are crazy. What's the reason to say to the madman?" Ka said, "I advise you to prepare more parts. If Liu Chao and Zhao Yin want to get addicted to kill Jianyou and humiliate the scholars before they die, I think it would be a catastrophe."

Wang Tian suddenly felt a sudden heart and said, "It will not be. My father has the kindness of knowing them."

"Everyone is going to die, what's wrong with me?" Bian Dan sneered.

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked, "What has happened to the emperor recently?"

"What else can there be any movement?" Wang Tian said, "I'll give the ranks of the scholars in Wu. I've given the ranks of the high-ranking officials who were reluctant to give them before, and I've given them the noble-ranking officials who were reluctant to give them. Maybe I think the scholars in the south are unreliable, and only the Jiangdong clans are willing to fight to the death. At least the ships anchored on the river are just real, and now they are probably the ones who are willing to fight hard."

"It's hard to say." Bian Dan sighed, unwilling to say more, because he really saw Liu and Zhao, the local soldiers from Jiangdong who had successfully escaped without saying goodbye.

In this state, I don’t know how many people will run away throughout the summer, but it would be great if half of the 40,000 troops were left in the autumn.

After the two of them finished talking, they quickly fell into silence. After saluting each other, they left without any energy.

*******

Ka Tan was at a loss and ran to Changganli without realizing it.

The once extremely prosperous street market was sparse, and there were few merchants.

A convoy was leaving in the distance. Bian just met him. It seemed that he was from the Lu clan of Wujun, a member of the Beijing tribe who was carrying his luggage back to his hometown.

Among the kneeless weeds, a team of soldiers who came from somewhere were resting in the barracks.

This is the southern gate of Jianye. Once the enemy attacks from the south, he will definitely go here.

Shi looked around and found that the stupidity of the King of Kuaiji was hanging in the distance, thinking that he was also the governor of Chengdu?

The Sima Jin royal family probably had no way out, especially the descendants of the late emperor like Kuaiji, who had no way out for life.

But it's hard to say.

Emperor Liang Shao Xun didn't even kill Cao Sui. He heard that Tuoba Shiyijian was still alive. He was not the kind of narrow-minded person. You can also think that he was too confident.

A young man like Kuaiji, I don’t know anything, either killing or not. Do you still expect the people of Jiangnan to restore the country under the banner of the Sima family? I wondered how powerful Chen Min was back then, under the banner of the descendants of the Sun family, and he didn’t see a few Tu tribes in Wu coming up, but instead helped the Sima family to suppress it.

The sound of killing came faintly in the wind, as well as various sounds of golden drums.

Kadan used his toes to think about it and knew that it was the King of Kuaiji's troops who were practicing.

In vain, we fight each other!

His brother, Sima Chong, the King of Langya, was not even more powerful? Xun was defeated in Ningguo a few days ago, and the one who defeated him was the former defeated general Xuancheng family.

More than 4,000 soldiers and horses fled, most of them were Wuhu. Perhaps they wanted to cross the war zone between the two armies and run back to Shanxia, ​​which was defending Wuhu.

The King of Langya is a microcosm of the great royal family.

This is also a pitiful person. Princess Zhuge was captured and taken to the north. With Shao Taibai's reputation, the next time King Langya saw his wife, he was probably pregnant with Liujia, so the couple could only cry in tears.

Ka suddenly felt that it was quite boring, and he was also a little relieved of the sadness of the dead.

His father was the Minister of the Great Public Dynasty, and he was one of the top officials under Wang Dao. On weekdays, he could even join forces with his relatives and other important officials to suppress the momentum of the Wang family of Langya.

Can such a reputation really escape?

Theoretically, if a father is willing to surrender, he may not need to die, but is he willing?

Shi Dan didn't know and didn't dare to think about it. He vaguely felt that his father probably did not want to surrender.

Suddenly I wanted to cry.

In this fucking world, both the people of Li Yuan and the nobles are enduring endless suffering.
