In the meeting hall of the official office, there were several coffins, and a few straw mats were placed on the ground next to the coffin. On the straw mat, there were corpses to cover the white cloth. The military supervisor Kong Fan, accompanied by the military officer, checked the corpses one by one.

Fu Jun, the envoy of Chen State, who was on a mission to Jiangbei, also chatted and laughed with Kong Fan when he left Jingkou. Now he turned into a cold body and lay on a straw mat. This well-educated man who was famous for his talent died in the king's affairs.

Last night, the Minister of State of Zhou South East Road, Yuchi Youqi held a banquet to entertain the envoys of Chen State. As a result, Chen's army sneaked into Guangling. In chaos, Yuchi Youqi was furious and killed the envoys of Chen State such as Fu Jun. When Chen's army attacked the city, they saw the bodies of Fu Jun and others in the inn.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu and Han Dynasty were fighting each other. King Liu Bang of Han sent general Han Xin to attack Qi State. At the same time, he sent a lobbyist Li Shiqi to persuade King Tian Guang of Qi. Li Shiqi fulfilled his mission and successfully persuaded Tian Guang to surrender to the King of Han.

The Qi army relaxed its vigilance, but Han Xin took the opportunity to attack and defeated it in one battle. Li Shiqi was almost killed by the angry Tian Guang and escaped by chance.

Now Fu Jun and others are not so lucky. Chen Jun did not tell the envoys to attack Guangling this time, so Fu Jun and others could only sacrifice their lives for the country. After Kong Fan confirmed that it was correct, he signaled the military officers to collect Fu Jun's body into the coffin and transport it back to Jiankang for burial.

Because Fu Qian offended Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing, he was framed by the two of them several years ago. When he made a statement, he spoke fiercely and was so angry that the emperor was so angry that he was not good at it. As a result, the emperor was in a good mood and cherished his talents, so he gave up Fu Qian's official position and left him home and left him with his life.

But Shen Keqing and Shi Wenqing did not intend to let each other go, so this time he specifically suggested that the emperor use Fu Jian as the envoy to Jiangbei, and that he would kill people with a knife.

Kong Fan and Fu Han had no big grudge, but they chose not to save them. Ministers like Fu Han who claim to be noble are the natural enemies of these stolen ministers, and it is always good to die one more.

Kong Fan and Shi Wenqing are the same type of people. For high officials and generous salaries and to please the emperor, they can do anything. They don’t care about being treacherous officials. They will not be sad about killing a Fu Jian for this.

But Fu Han "dead as his home" this time. After the body was transported back to Jiankang, he would definitely be buried in the court. If he died last time, how could he have such treatment?

The coffin was loaded into the car in turn, and the convoy drove out of the city under the escort of soldiers. Kong Fan walked out of the conference hall and happened to meet Xiao Mohe, the commander-in-chief who attacked Guangling. The two greeted each other and started talking.

The two had a very bad relationship on weekdays. As the emperor's confidant, Kong Fan specifically opposed military generals such as Xiao Moha. The emperor divided part of the troops of Xiao Moha and other generals and distributed them to Kong Fan, Shi Wenqing and others.

The division is a precious wealth, which can be passed down from father to son. Generals such as Xiao Maha have long regarded the division as the most precious thing. Now that they have been divided, it is like the family wealth being robbed, which makes people very angry.

However, Kong Fan, Shi Wenqing and others have the emperor as their backer, so the generals dare not speak out. The relationship between the two sides is as strong as fire. If they meet on weekdays, there is basically nothing to say.

However, today is different from the past. The victory of the government army is very good. Kong Fan is not stupid. He knows that he will get great achievements one after another and will not have internal strife at this critical moment.

For Xiao Mohe, although he hated Kong Fan very much, the Chen State finally opened up the situation. If he could take advantage of the victory after regaining Guangling, he would be very likely to recover Huainan prefectures and counties. At this critical moment, Kong Fan would be pulled back and missed the opportunity.

Therefore, for various reasons, the two people who were originally incompatible with water and fire started a heated discussion on how to act next. Xiao Mohe's opinion was to follow the strategy formulated in advance, seize the time to pursue the victory, recover the important areas on the Huai River as soon as possible, and rebuild the Huai River defense line.

The Huai River flows from west to east and finally flows into the sea. The long Huai River is one of the important defense lines of the Southern Dynasty. If you want to defend the Huai River line, it is impossible to set up defenses in all areas along the way. From ancient times to the present, as long as you guard a few places, the Huai River defense line will be complete.

The Huai River has several main tributaries, which flow from north to south. When the Northern Army heads south, its main army must go south along one of them or even all of them. Therefore, the entrance of these rivers to Huai River is an important place that the Southern Army must defend.

As long as there is a little bit of it that cannot be defended, there will be a gap in the Huai River defense line.

The main tributaries of the Huai River are Yingshui, Wo River and Si River to the west and east, and the entrance to the Huai River are Yingkou, Wokou, and Sikou. There are four cities on the south bank of the corresponding Huai River, which has been a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times.

The Huainan city that guards Yingkou is Shouchun, which blocks the invading enemy upstream of the Ying River. The upper reaches correspond to the Yuzhou General Administration of Zhou State, which is now the governing office of the Yangzhou General Administration of Zhou State.

The Huainan city that guards the vortex is Zhongli, which blocks the enemy invading the upstream of the Wo Water. The upstream corresponds to the General Administration of Bozhou, Zhou State. Zhongli is now under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Yangzhou, Zhou State.

The Huainan city that guards Sikou is Shanyang, and it forms a horn with Xuyi on the west side to block the enemy invading the upper reaches of the Si River. The upper reaches correspond to the Xuzhou General Administration of Zhou State, which is now under the jurisdiction of the Wuzhou General Administration of Zhou State.

Shanyang and Xuyi, located north of Guangling, recaptured the Chen army in Guangling, went north to Sheyang Lake through Hangou and went directly to attack Shanyang, and then divided their troops to attack Xuyi in the west. This action must be completed before the Xuzhou army of Zhou State reacted.

Then he tried his best to advance westward and captured Zhongli. Only in this way can the Huai River defense line be initially built. As for Shouchun, it is difficult to take it down in a short period of time, because the Chen army would have to divide its troops to recover other Huainan prefectures and counties, and they were unable to do so.

The Yangzhou army of Zhou State is now attacking Guangcheng, which is upstream of the Huai River, and has more than enough to defend Shouchun, so it is unable to stop the Chen army from recapturing Huainan Prefectures and Counties. More importantly, the prime minister of Zhou State, Yuchi Dun, led a large army to besiege Yuzhou Prefecture to govern Xuanhu. Before solving Xuanhu, he might not be able to go south to reinforce Huainan.

The chaos in the Zhou Dynasty was like this. Xiao Mohe knew that the opportunity should not be lost and he would not come again. The Chen army must attack cities and plunder the land as much as possible and rebuild the Huai River defense line before the Yuchi army reacted. Kong Fan agreed with this, just to make sure that he would not pull the back of these "old men".

The commander and the military supervisor should be in the same situation as each other, otherwise the emperor would be unable to sleep or eat. However, Kong Fan has figured it out now that regaining Guangling is only the first step, and the greatest contribution is to recover Huainan prefectures and counties.

Only by cooperating with Xiao Moha, he can achieve credit. As long as a person has a clear idea, even if his enemies are in front of him, he can chat and laugh with the other party. Kong Fan's plan is more than that.

If Chen State can really advance to the Huai River line, then it is necessary to adjust its strategies to maximize its interests.

If the Yuchi family wants to free up his hands to deal with the Yuwen family, they have to make peace with the Chen State, with the Huai River as the boundary; and if the Yuwen family does not want to be restrained by the Chen State, they have to return the captured Jiangzhou, Lingbiao, Ba and Xiang lands, otherwise they will not be able to free up his hands to deal with the Yuchi family.

Will the Yuwen family honestly return the occupied Chen territory?

No, but Chen State could not sit idly by and watch Jiangzhou upstream in the hands of other countries and threaten the capital of Jiankang at all times. His main force crossed the Huai River and continued to attack north. If the Yuwen family wants to maintain the relationship between the two sides, they have to make concessions.

Otherwise, after the Chen State recovered Huainan, the direction of the attack would inevitably turn west to eliminate the huge threat of Jiankang. It would be difficult for Yuwen to withstand the Yuchi family's attack. Again, facing the Chen army's attack, the troops would be short of strength.

So sooner or later, the two sides will sit down and negotiate on issues of Ba, Xiang, Jiangzhou and Lingbiao. Chen's envoy shoulders heavy responsibilities. Once the negotiation is completed, it will be no less than the result of recovering Huainan.

Therefore, the candidate for the Lord is Kong Fan.

The emperor of Zhou was in trouble and wanted to rebuild the court. But it can be foreseeable that the Qi Wang Yu and Wen Liang and his group would have a high status in the new court, and their nephew (second son) Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen is now in the battle with Xuanhu and Yuchi Dun. If they can survive, Yuwen Wen's status in the new court will also be very high.

Yuwen Wen is my own businessman who has worked with me for many years!

Kong Fan's plan was that after the situation in the three parties initially stabilized, he would strive to send a mission to Zhou (Yuwen family), and then colluded with Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen to cooperate in private, and find ways to reach a new alliance on conditions acceptable to both sides.
