One hour later, the battlefield had been cleared. Huang Zhong came to Wang Yan and reported: "Lord, in this battle, the cavalry lost twelve people. Four hundred elite cavalry in Xuzhou were killed 198 people, and one hundred and forty-five people were captured. The remaining elite cavalry all fled. The five hundred infantry under Tao Xi killed 60 people, and the rest surrendered."

Wang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Correse the captured people as soon as possible."

"promise"

Huang Zhong nodded, but his face showed a look of hesitation.

Wang Yan noticed Huang Zhong’s strangeness and asked, “Hansheng, is there anything else to say?”

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "The last general believes that the lord is a little impulsive when he kills Tao Xi. Tao Xi is Tao Qian's youngest son. Once the news of the lord killing Tao Xi is sent back to Xuzhou, Tao Qian will definitely launch an army to invade Qingzhou, which is very unfavorable to the elders and lords. If the lord wants to make a big deal, he must tolerate what ordinary people cannot tolerate. Tao Xi should not let the lords be confused."

Wang Yan chuckled twice and replied: "I have considered the consequences of killing Tao Xi. In addition to personal factors, there are also reasons for planning for Qingzhou, which prompted me to make up my mind."

As soon as these words were said, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zang Ba, Guan Hai and others all showed doubts.

In the eyes of everyone, killing Tao Xi is not good for Qingzhou.

Guo Jia asked, "What other reasons?"

Jia Xu said: "For Qingzhou, we should win over Tao Qian from Xuzhou and not make enemies at will. Now it is a chaotic time, and making enemies from all sides is not conducive to the next development."

Wang Yan glanced over the people under his command, and after a brief pause, he explained: "I won't explain much about the personal reasons for killing Tao Xi. For the public, the reason for killing Tao Xi was because of the turbulent and uneasy situation in the Qingzhou Bureau."

"It has been half a year since my father took office in Qingzhou. As of now, he is still struggling and hindering everywhere, and all counties have been lip service."

"Now Qingzhou is full of dangers and is even more scattered."

Wang Yan's tone became more and more serious, saying, "When the news of Tao Xi's killing reached Xuzhou, Tao Qian will definitely raise troops to avenge and lead a large army to attack Qingzhou. At that time, I will definitely lead the army to fight and defeat Tao Qian in one battle. With the power of the great victory, on the one hand, it will shock the princes outside Qingzhou, and on the other hand, it will attack the officials who are lip service within Qingzhou to rectify Qingzhou."

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Before a good plan, I remind you to consider the consequences of killing Tao Xi. Now it seems that this is a waste of time. You have already weighed it clearly."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It is too dangerous to go astray after all. The lord is considering good results, but what if it fails? What should I do if it fails? At that time, Qingzhou will be in a row and the situation will be out of control. Furthermore, the internal situation in Qingzhou is corrupt, and many people will definitely not obey the governor Wang. Once Tao Qian comes, it is difficult to guarantee that some of them will not collude with outsiders and will cooperate with the outside world."

When Wang Yan heard this, his eyes were full of murderous aura and said firmly: "That's better. Taking this opportunity to completely remove the cancer in Qingzhou and clear the Qingzhou officialdom.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, it's too risky."

Wang Yan said: "Mr. Wenhe, war has never won me firmly. In my opinion, war is just gambling. It is just about weighing the probability of the outcome of the war. The internal situation in Qingzhou is corrupt, and if you want to solve it gently, it will definitely be a constraint everywhere and it is difficult to let go. It would be better to take off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and completely remove the mess in Qingzhou."

"hiss"

Jia Xu gasped and was worried.

In Jia Xu's heart, what he values ​​most is his life. He knows that the benefits of taking risks in military affairs are greater, but when it comes to his life, Jia Xu will deny it because he cannot determine the final victory.

Guo Jia smiled even more and said decisively: "If you want to do big things, you won't be brave. I support you. This time, it's better to have a big deal."

Jia Xu shook his head slightly and stopped talking.

Huang Zhong thought about it and considered that Wang Yan had been moving up from Nancheng County with repeated crises. He took a deep breath and chose to believe Wang Yan, saying, "I believe in the lord."

Zhuge Xuan also said: "I also believe in the lord. This time, I will definitely win."

All individuals express their opinions and support Wang Yan. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger. If you want to achieve great wealth, it is impossible to have smooth sailing, and it is even more impossible to have a pie fall from the sky.

Wang Yan nodded and said, "This matter has been decided."

An hour passed in a flash.

Huang Zhong's reorganization of the prisoners was further completed.

At this time, a soldier ran over quickly and reported: "Sir, Qiao Liang has been repaired and can cross the river now."

Wang Yan ordered: "Cross the river and continue rushing."

The team set off again, crossed the Wu'an River, and headed north to Taishan County.

The journey was extremely smooth, and even officials from all counties along the way gave Wang Yan food to ensure that Wang Yan had sufficient food and grass. After nearly a month, when Wang Yan arrived at Fenggao County, the capital of Taishan County, he learned that Wang Yan had arrived, the governor of Taishan County took the initiative to greet him.

The governor of Taishan County is an old man over 50 years old. He personally welcomes him, and Wang Yan also welcomes him warmly.

Wang Yan did not pursue the matter that Taishan County Magistrate failed to gain a foothold in Nancheng County in the past, but had a warm conversation with Taishan County Magistrate. Then he delayed a day in Fenggao County and set off to continue his journey. It took another half a month to go from Fenggao County to Qingzhou, and Wang Yan and his team entered Qingzhou.

The capital of Qingzhou is located in Linzi County, Qi. After Wang Yan entered Qi, he went straight to Linzi County.

The army arrived in Linzi County, and midsummer was already passed.

As September approaches, the weather is still hot, but it is not as fierce as June and July.

Linzi was the capital of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was prosperous and prosperous.

When Qin Shihuang destroyed Qi and established Linzi County, Linzi County was the capital of Qi County, which was under the jurisdiction of Qi County. During the Western Han Dynasty, in the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, he appointed Prince Liu Fei as the King of Qi, and Linzi as the capital of Qi. After Wang Mang became emperor, he abolished Qi and changed Linzi County to Qiling County. When Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty became emperor, he re-established Qi State, and the capital was still located in Linzi, and even the capital of Qingzhou was located in Linzi.

Although this county town is not strategically located, it is surrounded by the sea and is prosperous and prosperous.

There are people coming and going inside and outside the city, and it is extremely lively.

Wang Yan led his army to arrive, looking at Linzi City from afar, and his eyes also showed a hint of admiration. Although this one is not the strongest, it is close to the seashore and is very prosperous.

This city will also be his new journey.

"Dada"

Suddenly, a horse galloped out at the gate of the city.

The horse's hooves galloped and galloped towards the direction where the army was.

"alert"

When Huang Zhong saw the visitor heading straight to the army, he immediately took alert.

Shi A stepped forward and reported: "Lord, the person from the Hero Building." The person who came came on a horse was riding a horse, but was wearing a black robe and an iron sword on his back, which was worn by the people of the Hero Building.

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Let it go"

Immediately, the soldiers who protected Wang Yan retreated immediately.

The war horse galloped over and stopped when it was ten feet away from Wang Yan. The man from the Hero Tower turned over and dismounted, rushed to Wang Yan, and knelt on one knee and said, "I am Zeng Yu, pay homage to you."

Wang Yan said: "Get up, my father got the news of my arrival, why didn't he come?"

Zeng Yu looked serious and replied: "Mr. Governor was very happy to receive the news of your arrival in Linzi, and decided to go out of the city to welcome him. But early this morning, all the major clans of Qi gathered in the government offices and threatened the Mr. Governor to delegate power, so they could not escape."

Wang Yan raised his sword eyebrows and said, "When I enter the city, I want to see how arrogant the aristocratic tribes of this Qi State are."

Previously, Wang Yun took office in Qingzhou, and Wang Yan asked Wang Yue to build a Hero Building in Qingzhou.

Because of the establishment of the Hero Building, Wang Yan learned about the situation in Qingzhou and Wang Yun’s predicament. However, Wang Yan did not expect that the major clans were so arrogant and dared to openly threaten the governor.
