~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In March of the fifth year of Jian'an, the Dragon Wolf Navy Army had 11,200 people and 300 ships of all sizes, and drove out of Juyeze in a mighty manner. From the Ji River to the Si River, flags flicked all the way and went south to the Huai River. The flag was to kill Yuan Shu and revitalize the dynasty.

Obviously, the court ignored Yuan Shu's waving his tail and begging for mercy. This kind of rebellious act is the leader of the ten evil deeds. There is no problem of pardon, and the best result is to commit suicide and apologize. If the emperor's grace is so great, the family members can be forgiven. If he refuses to commit suicide, he can only kill him.

This navy army was divided into two groups, one of which was the central army of 7,000 people and 230 ships, led by General Polu and Li Dian, the left governor of the navy; one group of more than 3,000 people, including 500 elite Shanyue, nearly 1,000 strong enemy troops in Qianba County (i.e. the Nanyang Fuyang Inspection Navy), one thousand Danyang soldiers, seven hundred boat soldiers and helmsman, set out first in the central army, and were the vanguards.

This is a vanguard fleet, equivalent to the vanguard army of the army, elite, light, brave and fearless.

The general who commanded this vanguard fleet was the Zhechong Captain Gan Ning Gan Xingba.

Why is Gan Ning coming? It’s not time to use this piece yet.

The reason is both simple and complicated. In a word, there was a problem with Zhang Xiu, and Gan Ning took the blame for Zhang Xiu and rioted in advance.

The matter has to start two months ago. At that time, Zhang Xiu was invited by Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and sent his general Hu Cheer to lead his army to Huaibei to join the alliance and attack Yuan Shu. When the two armies stopped under Xia Cai City, Hu Cheer would write the latest news in a memorial every half month and send it back to Wancheng. This seemed normal and there was no doubt about it.

After receiving the message, Zhang Xiu would order someone to copy the copy and hand it over to the Hawkeye organization set up in Nanyang, and send a letter back to Luoyang with flying eagles or flying pigeons. Although Ma Han was thousands of miles away, he could still understand the recent situation of the Battle of Huainan in a timely manner, providing an important basis for the Dragon Wolf Army to take countermeasures and follow-up actions.

But when the time entered the spring of the fifth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, without notifying the Wancheng Army and Xinye Army, raised the surprise troops and took a long detour with Xiahou Yuan's thousand cavalry to attack. Cao Hong suddenly crossed the river and successfully attacked and rushed to the city of Shouchun in one fell swoop.

The sudden change in the battle situation greatly affected the plan of the southern expedition. Hu Cheer felt that sending the message to Nanyang first and then moving to Luoyang was too delayed, which would delay the judgment of the general's mansion. In desperation, he changed the communication channel without authorization and asked someone to bring the message to Yuzhou and send it to Yanzhou. The Yanzhou army sent it to Luoyang.

As a result, something happened this time.

The messenger was spotted and intercepted by Cao's army's patrol and brought to Xun Yu who was left in Yuzhou.

Xun Yu is a smart man in the Three Kingdoms. But when he got this password letter, he could not tell what he was famous. Then he interrogated the sender, but he couldn't tell the name, because the sender was only sent the letter and could not know the secret words unique to Hawkeye. Moreover, this person was extremely tough and even if he was severely punished, he would never reveal who the sender was.

However, Xun Yu still inferred from the information of this person's accent, the origin of shoes, hats and clothes, such as the origin of his shoes, hats and clothes. At this time, on the battlefield in Huaibei, there were only two forces that could use Nanyang people, Guan Yu or Hu Cheer. Who would it be?

Xun Yu felt that it was possible, among which Hu Cheer was the most suspicious, so he sent the letter to Cao's camp in Xiacai with people.

Cao Cao also held the same view and began to guard against Hu Cheer, and wrote to Liu Biao, Jingzhou, asking him to be wary of Zhang Xiu.

Hu Cheer knew that he had messed up, so he quickly sent Kuaima back to Nanyang to report the news and asked Zhang Xiu to make an idea. What could Zhang Xiu have? The first thing he thought of was naturally the think tank of the Xiliang Army in the past: Jia Xu.

Ma Han and Jia Xu received a letter from Feiying and attached great importance to it. Because Zhang Xiu's position was too important, it was the western gate of the Dragon Wolf Army entering Jing. Once Liu Biao was suspicious and Zhang Xiu was transferred, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Dragon Wolf Army entering Jing in the future. In any case, Liu Biao's suspicion towards Zhang Xiu must be dispelled.

At this time, Chen Dao offered his suggestion to send the Longlang Army out of Yique Pass to fight with Zhang Xiu, and use "practical actions" to dispel Liu Biao's suspicion. Of course, there is no sight on the battlefield, no matter how hard he acts, he will inevitably suffer casualties.

Ma Han was hesitating, and Jia Xu spoke: "This method still cannot explain the affairs of the thieves in Nanyang, and Liu Jingsheng may not be able to eliminate doubts. According to Xu's opinion, instead of our Dragon Wolf Army attacking Zhang Xiu, it is better to let Zhang Xiu attack Gan Ning..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Han and Chen Dao applauded in unison.

That's right, "framed" Gan Ning and let Gan Ning take the blame. Anyway, this guy has been impatient in Fuyang and has sent someone to ask him no less than five times when he can start a military army. Since he wants to make achievements so much, then participate in the Nanzheng War.

So, just as Cao Cao's letter arrived in Xiangyang, Zhang Xiu suddenly launched an attack on Fuyang Ganning, on the grounds that Ganning had ulterior motives and ambushed spies in the Wancheng army, trying to do something wrong.

When the shocked Liu Biao was about to send someone to mediate, Gan Ning had been "defeated" by Zhang Xiu, and left behind the bodies of more than 100 Fuyang defenders. He led more than 800 patrons of Ba County and a large amount of money and grain, took more than 50 boats, fled to Yuzhou along the Huai River, and went to Beitou Longlang Army.

After Zhang Xiu attacked Fuyang, he found no less than twenty secret letters from Ganning and Luoyang from the temple, and immediately sent someone to Xiangyang and handed them over to Liu Biao. Now, the "truth" was revealed.

This news shocked the entire Jingzhou. At this moment, Cao Cao's letter was "confirmed". It turned out that Gan Ning was the one who wanted to surrender to the enemy. Zhang Xiu was very cautious and afraid of it because Ma Han was the culprit of destroying the Western Liang army and did not see any conspiracy.

Just like that, Gan Ning happily took the blame and joined the Dragon Wolf Navy. After two months of running-in training, he led the three thousand Dragon Wolf Navy as the lieutenant of the Zhe Chong School and became the vanguard of the Southern Expedition.

Of course, it is naturally not enough to rely on the navy alone to conquer one side. Five days after the Li Dian and Ganning more than 10,000 naval troops were deployed, three thousand Luoyang Dragon Wolf Army also went out of the Huzhu east and entered Chenliu. It is worth noting that these three thousand people were almost all war soldiers, including two thousand Dragon Wolf Cavalry. There are also one thousand of them, the Xiliang Army and some Baibo Army that were surrendered at the time, are the latest batch of Dragon Wolf New Army returning from training in Liaodong. This is the elite of Luoyang Dragon Wolf Army, accounting for nearly half of the total number of Luoyang Dragon Wolf Army soldiers.

The Dragon Wolf Army was led by Le Jin and Zhang Liao to Shanyang and joined forces with the Shanyang prefect Gao Shun. Then they entered Guangling, Xuzhou. Their tasks were one of training and the other were putting pressure. If necessary, they could cross the Huai River at any time to provide strong assistance to Li Dian and Ganning.

The Dragon Wolf Knight is the sharp knife of the Dragon Wolf Army. If this knife is abandoned during the southern expedition, it will definitely be a huge waste. To use this strong army, they must gradually adapt to the climate and soil in the south. You cannot wait until the battle is about to start before rushing to rush to the front line, which will cause big problems.

In addition to military threats, there is also political temptation - while the army of land and sea went south, there were also three envoys who also went south with their priests to persuade the princes to join the court and not to resist stubbornly.

The three envoys were Taichang Chief Xu You, Taizhong Dafu Liu Ye and Shaofu Qing Kong Rong, each of whom was responsible for one district. Xu You was responsible for Yuzhou and Huainan (i.e. Cao Cao and Yuan Shu); Liu Ye was responsible for Jiangdong and Jiangxia (i.e. Sun Ce and Huang Zu); Kong Rong was responsible for Jingzhou (i.e. Liu Bei and Liu Biao)

The choices of these three envoys are all particular. Xu You, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are both old friends for many years, and they know each other well. Whether it is negotiation or admonition, they can be targeted. Liu Ye was originally from Huainan. He is familiar with the scenery of Jianghuai and has considerable connections. Jiangxia is the most suitable for him to go to Jiangdong. When Kong Rong was in Beihai, he had a good relationship with Liu Bei, who was the Pingyuan minister at the time. He was also an old acquaintance with Liu Biao and was also the best candidate for his mission to Jingzhou.

Ma Han adopted a two-pronged approach, including one literary and one military, with Zhang and Chi. The two-pronged approaches are three goals: the best is to surrender and surrender, and the second is to break the union of all parties. Differentiate and use the Internet, and the most unhealthy parties must also promise to remain neutral.

No one dares to help Yuan Shu, but it does not mean that the princes of the Jianghuai will not drag their backs behind their backs. Because everyone understands that Ma Han is a typical example of criticizing the mulberry and scolding the locust. He uses the attack on Yuan Shu as a guide, but in fact he is involved in the Jianghuai, so he dare not do it openly, and there will be no small actions in secret.

Military and diplomacy have already begun vigorously, and the last step is politics.

In mid-March, Ma Han and Jia Xu had a secret talk alone. The content involved in this secret talk is shocking. If the outside world learns it, it will be a turmoil in the world.

In the Xuan room, Ma Han opened the right path: "With Wenhe's view, how about Your Majesty's dragon body?"

This topic is very sensitive. Jia Xu pondered for a while and said cautiously: "At the banquet at the beginning of the year, Your Majesty looked as usual and seemed to have recovered."

Ma Han sneered and shook his head: "I just want to tell you that Taoist Zhang has left the seclusion and His Majesty is treated the same. Moreover, he is still taking pills, and he is taking the dose and doubling the dose..." Ma Han did not continue because he had seen Jia Xu change his color.

If a person wants to commit suicide, it is hard for heaven to save him. Ma Han didn't say this, but he believed that Jia Xu must understand.

"This southern expedition, the destruction of Yuan Shu is just the beginning, and there are Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and even Liu Biao. Not only will Le Wenqian's plundering army, but also Xu Linjun, Guan Shengde and Guan Cheng's Bohai army must participate. In the end, the total force may reach 50,000. The only one who can command and dispatch the entire command is me." Ma Han stared at Jia Xu's face and said slowly, "I will leave Luoyang in April at the latest, and I may not be able to return within the year."

The so-called drums do not need to be hit hard. Jia Xu understood them, put his sleeves together and said solemnly: "Xu must take care of the lord's courtyard, and he will never allow fire in the backyard."

Ma Han nodded, took out a box, opened it, and there was half a piece of tiger talisman inside: "This is the tiger talisman that can mobilize the entire Luoyang Dragon Wolf Army. If necessary, there is no need for the emperor to dispatch troops. This talisman is used to mobilize the four divisions of Yu Jin, Zhou Cang, Wu Zhui, and Han Xi. Yu Jin has the talent of the general, Zhou Cang, Wu Zhui, and Han Xi is loyal. With these four people to assist Wen He, no matter what happens, I believe Wen He can deal with it calmly."

Jia Xu looked excited and not pretentious. He solemnly took the tiger talisman and finally asked again: "If the emperor fails to make a mistake, Luoyang changes, how much can Xu do?"

Ma Han said lightly: "Do what you can, don't be afraid of chaos. No chaos can be cured. Show your ability to disrupt the imperial capital in the third year of Chuping and let it go."
