On July 20th, Wang Guan, the prefect of Xiazhou, arrived in Huaiyang on his ship. Chen Hongyi, Xie Qian and others felt as if they were facing an enemy at the dock. After Wang Guan got off the ship, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was worried that Wang Guan would bring another prince or prince with him.

When the new emperor came, Wang Guan only brought his navy to prepare for Jinling.

As soon as Wang Guan arrived, he received the wind and washed away the dust for another three days.

Liu Jian drank half-drunk every day for the past three days and was helped back by Li Xiaofei. Li Xiaofei had not drunk yet, and almost vomited when he smelled the smell of alcohol on Liu Jian's body for the first time. On the third day, he smelled the fragrance, and thought if he

If I could drink the wine, would it also have a fragrance?

Just as Li Xiaofei was thinking about it, Liu Jian in the room called him in. Li Xiaofei pushed the door in and closed the door, only to see Liu Jian sitting beside the tables and placing the chess pieces. Liu Jian stretched out his hand and pointed at the chessboard: "Xiao Fei, come here.

, I will teach you how to play chess." Xiaofei walked over and sat down respectfully: "I would like to listen to your teachings." Liu Jian picked out a white chess piece and landed it in the middle, and then said to Xiaofei: "This is Tianyuan

Position, the middle position, our game of chess fell on the Tianyuan position as soon as we started, it is difficult to play." Xiao Fei nodded, Liu Jian smiled: "Actually, I just want to talk to you, this chess requires

Teach slowly, it will take many years to learn chess records." Xiaofei said slowly: "Isn't the Tianyuan position that the prince mentioned is the throne? Now there are so many high officials and princes competing for it." Liu Jian laughed:

"A boy can be taught, a boy can be taught. I found that my master is really a saint, and the soldiers under him can say some extraordinary things. It is only in the past few days that I have figured out what my master has done.

No wonder Wang Xian is also afraid of him. My master is more cunning than a treacherous minister, and he always thinks about long-term things." Xiao Fei did not answer, but just listened to Liu Jian continue to tell the story of Chen Hongyi's past. As he spoke, Liu Jian turned around.

All the chess pieces fell on the chessboard: "Actually, my master is just a chess piece. Everyone in Huaiyang City is a chess piece, no, everyone in the world is." Xiao Fei asked doubtfully: "Even the prince and the high officials are.

They are all just chess pieces, so who is the chess player? The emperor? But the emperors have all been killed." Liu Jian smiled bitterly: "I thought I could become a chess player before, but now it seems that even the emperor is just a chess piece. What we did

Everything is just going with the flow." At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Well said, going with the flow, the key to whether you do something or not lies in people."

Xie Rui pushed the door open and bowed his hands in salute: "I disturb the prince late at night because I want to play a few games with him." Liu Jian stood up and welcomed Xie Rui over. Xiao Fei quickly got up and retreated and waited outside the door.

Xie Rui and Liu Jian played chess for two hours. Liu Jian called Xiao Fei to pour some water. When Xiao Fei went in, Liu Jian smiled and said to him: "Xiao Fei, if you want to become a disciple of chess, it's better to thank Mr.

Yes, I lost all three games tonight." Xie Rui waved his hand: "No, no, the prince is humble, I am just competitive." Liu Jianyi handed over his hand: "I have admired Mr.

The game of chess was an eye-opener. I think the young master will give some advice to Xiao Wang when he comes today." Xie Rui took a sip of water and said slowly: "I have observed for more than ten days, Your Majesty, you have the best concentration, so today I am special

Come to visit." Liu Jian was surprised: "Why do you see me?"

If you are poor, you will simply not give it away or invite it." Xie Rui waved his hand: "Now is an extraordinary time. As long as you are a prince, you will have more or less thoughts of becoming emperor, but the prince actually suppressed it under the teachings of Mr. Chen.

"Yes, this alone is amazing. After analyzing the current situation, I sent the story of Duke Wen of Jin in the historical records to the prince. I hope that the prince can understand my good intentions." Liu Jian bowed his head and thanked her, and Xie Rui drank again

He took a sip of water and left with a smile.

On July 24, under the repeated urging of Chen Hongyi and Wang Guan, Jingzhou soldiers Chen Jiajun and Wang Guan's navy finally marched towards Jinling. In order to persuade Wang Xian, Chen Hongyi took the initiative to give up Huaiyang City and let Liu Ke, the king of Jingling,

Wang Xiang and Xie Qian, Xiao Ding, Lu Feng, Shen De, and Zhang Sheng joined the army in Jingzhou to defend the city together with 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses. Wang Xian was the commander, and he led Qi Wang Xiping, Qinghe Wang Yuan Kang as the middle army, and Chen Hongyi as the vanguard to rush to Jinling.

.

Su Shouzhong of Jinling City learned that Wang Xian's army was about to attack, so he also prepared troops and horses to strengthen the city defense, and sent an envoy to form an alliance with Hou Tianzhou, asking Hou Tianzhou to capture Xiangyang and then rush to Jiangling to steal Wang Xian's retreat.

It is said that Hou Tianzhou was unable to attack Xiangyang for a long time, so he sent Hou Zhao to bring the beautiful woman in gold and silk to the Black Flag Khanate of the Fire Dragon Clan to ask for reinforcements to buy kerosene for the siege. After Pajaqili, the Great Khan of the Black Flag Khanate, obtained the beautiful woman in gold and silk, he personally led 30,000 people.

The cavalry came to Xiangyang carrying linoleum carts.

Li Xiaofei followed Liu Jian to the expedition to Jinling. The master and servant were attached to Wang Xian's army. The team moved very slowly along the way. They had to set up camp after traveling less than fifty miles a day. Liu Jian was unhappy but not easy to get angry, but Li Xiaofei was a few

Tianxia is very familiar with Jingzhou soldiers and horses. Li Xiaofei said to the left that Marshal Wang is powerful, and to the right he said what Commander Chen was like back then. Every time he started, he asked others to tell the story, and the whole journey was as lively as going to a country fair. Liu Jian

Shaking his head secretly: "If this were Chen Jiajun, I'm afraid they would have been whipped long ago. If they are so lax and careless, it is hopeless to expect them to regain Jinling City."

As they walked, the Jingzhou Army and Li Xiaofei talked about the attack on Jinling, and there was a lot of discussion: "Commander Chen will take the lead and capture several generals of the rebel army. The navy will then throw stones to break down the city gate. We will rush into the city directly when the time comes."

This battle will be won. When we have more people, Jinling City will be ours." "I heard that the rebels put all the gold and silver they collected in Jinling City." "Also, whoever finds the King of Jin first?

Even that three-year-old child will be rewarded heavily." "This time we go, if we are lucky, we will be a hero from the dragon, but if we are not lucky, we will be able to wear gold and silver and make a fortune."

Liu Jian took a deep breath and called Li Xiaofei over: "Let's rush to Chen Jiajun. I feel that we will die sooner or later if we follow them." Li Xiaofei looked around and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, we'd better leave at night.
