The war in the Central Plains was in full swing. In early September, the Sui Kingdom launched an attack on the Zhou Kingdom on the south and north sides. At the end of September, the Chen Kingdom in Jiangnan immediately launched a northern expedition to attack the Huainan area of ​​Zhou Kingdom. The Zhou Kingdom, who was attacked, also mobilized its troops to fight with all its might.

From Youzhou, Hebei to Henan, Wuzhou, from Jing, Shannan, Xiangzhou to Huangzhou, Jiangbei, Zhou army fought against the fierce Sui and Chen army.

The Shannan Prefectures and Counties of Zhou State were besieged, and their ties with the court had been interrupted. They could only rely on their own strength to counterattack. All the troops of the Five General Administrations of Jing, Xiang, An, Jiangling and Huangzhou were mobilized.

In early November, Fangcheng, Jingzhou, Shannan, was captured by the Sui army, and then the Jingzhou army organized defense in Shangwan. Soon after, the army of the Jinzhou General Administration of the Sui State broke through several passes of the Zhou State and advanced a hundred miles west of Xiangzhou along the Han River. The Xiangzhou General Administration of the Yuan Dynasty Yu Wenming gathered his troops to fight against the enemy.

In mid-November, the General Administration of Xinzhou of Sui State sent troops to attack the Liang Kingdom in the water and land, and the Chen Kingdom, which was across the river, also sent troops to cross the river. The Sui and Chen coalition forces jointly attacked the capital of Liang Kingdom Jiangling.

In late November, the Sui Dynasty and Chen coalition troops arrived at Jiangling, the capital of Liang State. Emperor Liang moved to Anlu with the royal family and important officials in the east, while the army of the Jiangling General Office of Zhou State and the Liang army guarded Jiangling to death, waiting for the Anzhou army to advance westward to reinforce.

The Sui Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty fought in Youzhou, and the victory and defeat were repeated. They launched an attack on the seven Taihang Xings except Jingxing.

At the end of November, Deng Xiaoru, the general manager of Huangzhou in Shannan, Zhou Guo, led the Huangzhou army to advance eastward, and the naval and land army reinforced the Hezhou general manager. On early December, Zhou Fashang, the general manager of the navy and Hengzhou governor, led the Zhou Guo Navy and Chen Guo Navy to fight in the waters of Sangluozhou near Jiangzhou.

After three consecutive battles, the Zhou navy won a great victory. The rebuilt Chen Jiangzhou navy suffered heavy casualties. The Huangzhou army surrounded Wei and saved Zhao, crossed the Yangtze River to attack the Jiangkou of Chen Jiangzhou prefecture to break the siege of Hezhou.

In mid-December, the Bazhou navy of Chen State went south along the river and cooperated with the Yingzhou army to cross north to attack the Zhou army stronghold in Hankou, Jiangbei; in late December, the Sima of Zhou State, Yang Ji, joined forces with the Kaifu General Shi Wansui, and the Hulin Army's other general Chen Wudi led his troops across the river to attack the Wuchang of Yingzhou in the south.

Kaifu Shi Wansui led 800 cavalry to defeat the reinforcements of Chen State. Then, the Zhou army captured Wuchang City in three days, and led the troops north to attack Xiakou, Yingzhou Prefecture, and fought with the Chen army in Xiakou for more than ten formations. Chen army retreated to the city in a small defeat.

The Chen army retreated south to defend Xiakou, and the Bazhou navy advanced eastward. In Zhengrongzhou, the Zhou Bazhou navy fought a decisive battle with the Zhou Dynasty. The Chen army retreated to Xiakou due to fire attacks.

In late December, the Chen army in Zhou and the Chen army fought decisively in Ruxukou, the General Administration of Hezhou. The Chen army was in great power. Zhou Fashang, the general administrator of the Zhou army, commanded the ship to charge the battle first. At more than ten places of damage, he first ascended the dead soldiers and died most of the deaths. He tore the Chen army formation and then fought with fire attacks.

Zhou, Chen's water army tied, both of which were both injured. The Chen army narrowly won the battle against the land. The Huangzhou army besieged Jiangzhou and returned northward. The Hezhou army retreated to Hezhou Prefecture to govern Ruyin.

During the same period, the Liang, Zhou coalition forces and the Sui and Chen coalition forces fought in succession without a chance to decide the outcome. The Xinzhou barbarians of the Sui State rebelled and attacked various prefectures and counties in the Xinzhou General Administration. The Xinzhou army retreated, and the Chen army immediately retreated south and the siege of Jiangling was lifted.

The Sui army besieged Shangwan and the Zhou army in Shannan. The Yuzhou Prefecture capital Xuanhu was besieged by the Bozhou army of Zhou State on the east. The Luozhou army of Sui State sent troops south to intent to reinforce, and fought fiercely with the Qingzhou army of Zhou State on the east in the Xingzhou area.

The war situation between the two sides was in a stalemate and was constrained by each other for a while. It was a time of chaos that the Chen State made new progress north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River.

With the help of the Sui Kingdom, the Chen army built a powerful catapult to attack the city of Zhou Kingdom with all its might. They also used multiple relationships to persuade the Wuzhou General Administration to rebel against the Zhou Kingdom and return to the embrace of the "homeland". The Chen army gained a foothold in Jiangbei, and then fought hard to resist the fierce attack of the Xuzhou army southward and marched towards Hezhou on the west side.

In January of the following year, the Chen army captured most prefectures and counties of the Hezhou General Administration, and the south of the Zhou State Mountain was completely separated from the imperial court roads. The Bozhou Army of Zhou State then divided its troops to attack Guangzhou under the jurisdiction of the Yuzhou General Administration of Sui State, and opened the passage of the north and south foothills of the Dabie Mountains.

......

Jiankang, Zhuquehang, Yuwen Wen stood on the bridge, looking at the charm of the Qinhuai River with interest. The prosperous Jiankang City is indeed well-known. There are houses on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and boats shuttle back and forth on the river are very lively.

After a lot of twists and turns, the sea boat he was riding finally crossed the Heishi Ocean safely and arrived at the estuary of the Yangtze River. Then he went up the river and berthed near Jiankang. Because he had to be investigated by the government for several days, Yuwen Wen visited a private tour.

Zhou Faming, who is long and short of Jiankang, dared not show up because there are too many acquaintances here, Tian Yilong and others are so seasick that their legs are weak, and Shi Wanbao, Ma Wu and other northerners are even exhausted from vomiting, so Yuwen Wen took Zheng Tong and a few guards out for a walk.

"The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is indeed well-known!"

Yuwen Wen turned around and looked at Jiankang City not far away, admiring the majestic city. He had seen famous cities such as Chang'an, Luoyang, and Ye, and now he has finally arrived at this long-standing capital of the Southern Dynasty.

"Honey husband is careful about his words and his Guanzhong accent is particularly conspicuous here."

"It's okay. For hundreds of years of Southern Dynasties, there are many northerners who have traveled south. Besides, there are many wealthy merchants from Shu who come to Jiankang. If they hide their heads and tails, they dare not even say anything, that would be a matter of doubt."

Zheng Tong didn't say much. He didn't agree with Yuwen Wen's risk, but this person was in a good mood and was very interested. He must go around Jiankang and buy some gifts for the mansion. He couldn't say anything.

"The east side of Zhuquehang should be Wuyi Lane. Go there and take a walk to see how the king and Xie Shi family are."

"Mr. Langjun, that area is probably home to a large family. We are unfamiliar with our faces and accents are wrong, so I am afraid there will be trouble."

"Is that so? Then next time."

Yuwen Wen nodded. He didn't want to be a troublemaker. Now that he has a special status, it's better not to be a singular person. Anyway, life will be very long in the future. Maybe he will be able to visit Jiankang openly next time.

Jiankang is a big city, and naturally it is divided into cities and valleys. Zhuquehang is inside the outer wall of the city. On the west side of the southern end is the bustling Xikou City. Yuwen Wen went to buy a large purchase and bought some small gifts for his wives, concubines and children.

I have been away from home for half a year, and then I have never heard of it since October. Now I have finally arrived in Jiankang, but it is already the New Year. When I think of him as my husband in the mansion on New Year's Eve, Aye's absence, how desolate the scene is.

So Yuwen Wen felt quite guilty and wanted to bring some gifts back to express his apology. Anyway, he still had some money on hand, which was enough to sweep the streets.

Of course, the purpose is not only that. Yuwen Wen wants to inquire about the current situation. Not to mention other places, first of all, we need to inquire about the war in Shannan. Chen Jun seems to be making good progress in Huainan. His people's attention to current affairs is increasing, which is a good time to inquire.

Yuwen Wen turned into a tea shop, sat in a place with Zheng Tong, and the guard sat next to him, called tea, and listened to the tea guests talking about current affairs while drinking tea.

"I heard that the official army repelled Zhou's reinforcements and captured Ruyin, Hezhou, is just around the corner!"

"It's great now. The government army recovered these places, Huainan is in hand, so the Northern Army should not try to threaten Jiankang anymore!"

"Not only that, if the official army really stands firmly, the contact between Zhou Guoshannan and his court will be interrupted and mutual rescue will not be enough. By then, the official army will recover the six prefectures in Jiangbei! "

"But didn't the Zhou army in Jiangbei have already invaded Yingzhou? I heard that all Wuchang City has been taken down?"

"No, Wuchang is very good. The official army has driven away the Zhou army and gathered more than 100,000 people to cross north to attack Jiangbei Bazhou, and want to take revenge!!"

"Where is the one-legged bronze man in Nabazhou? Didn't he say it's very powerful?"

"Awesome? If it's really amazing, his wife will not cause harm to anyone!"

"Cough cough cough!" Yu Wen Wen, who was drinking tea, coughed when he heard this.
Chapter completed!
