Chu State, Yingdu.

When news of Qingshui County came, Cai Tong's expression became very bad.

Unlike private intelligence, when the military newspapers in front came, Cai Tong was discussing the defense of the front line with a group of generals from Chu State.

It seemed that after being stimulated by the Western Frontier, Huan Wu failed to attack Shu, he wanted to find the place from other places. Therefore, the Liang army was aggressive on the border of Chu. A few days ago, there were also reports of Liang army's soldiers crossing the border and smashing the Chu sentry pavilion.

Although Cai Tong knew that the death soldiers who had sent to assassinate Fan Qing's old subordinates had failed, he did not expect that they would react so quickly. In just a few days, he actually collided with two and thirty thousand people headed south.

"Lord, no matter what the cause of this incident is, we must take action."

Most of the ministers of the State of Chu were the former generals of Jing and the two states, including the general Wenqing, the most important person to Cai Tong.

This group of people in Qingshui County are Fan Qing's old subordinates, and they have always had disagreements with Cai Tong. Cai Tong did not value it, but he also gave them land pensions to make them live. Over the past decade, these people have been safe.

Wenqing didn't know what happened in Qingshui County, which made these people suddenly attack, but if they were not stopped, the State of Chu would cause great trouble.

Especially when the Liang army is in the north and is eyeing it.

Cai Tong nodded and expressed his agreement. Of course, Cai Tong could not tell the ministers of Chu that he sent dead soldiers to assassinate the generals of Fan Qing's old subordinates, which made them attack.

Otherwise, his prestige among his ministers would inevitably be greatly weakened.

"There are insufficient troops in Qingshui County. Cai Yun, if you bring 10,000 elite troops in the capital, you must persuade these people to stop them. Remember, among these two, there are still elderly, weak, women and children among the 30,000 people, so don't hurt them."

Cai Yun is Cai Tong's son. Only when he goes, Cai Tong will feel at ease. Because no matter what Cai Yun knows from Fan Qing's old subordinates, it is impossible to convey it to the ministers of Chu.

In the end, what the ministers of Chu State knew would only be what Cai Tong wanted them to know.

And these ten thousand elites went to the scene not to dissuade them, but to kill people to silence them.

Just as Cai Yun came forward to receive the military talisman, a servant walked into the door. Under the gaze of the generals, he came to Cai Tong and said something in his ear.

Cai Tong's face changed drastically, his palms tightly, and he cursed.

"Yang Xian, damn it!"

The disciples of the Sea King Sect immediately passed the transaction between Ning Jingyuan and Yang Xian here, which also made Cai Tong's plan to kill and silence him.

If it were in Qingshui County, the Sea King Sect blocked the water system, these ten thousand elite troops could slaughter all those people. However, after Yang Xian asked for a hundred large ships from Ning Jingyuan, these two or 30,000 people could go downstream and reach Wuning County within a few days.

The border between Wuning County and Shu Kingdom is adjacent. If you intercept it there, it will be much more difficult.

When Yang Zhong entered Sichuan and took control of Yizhou, he seized the portal of Yuyi into Jing from Cai Tong, the former jurisdiction of Wuning County.

After taking control of Pingling, the Shu army entered Jing and advanced by water and land without any obstacles. However, Cai Tong wanted to enter Shu, not only went up against the current, but also had many barriers. Fortunately, Yang Zhong died early and Huan Wu rose again afterwards. The common enemy of the Shu and Chu families was the Liang army, so there was no big fight.

Over the years, Cai Tong has always wanted to regain this strategic location, but Yang Chun seemed to have been guarding against him. Those who stationed in Pingling were descendants of Yang Ci's old subordinates in the past, and they were brave and good at fighting.

Yang Zhong hung a sharp sword on his head, but Cai Tong could only bear it. He was very frustrated, but he had no choice but to do so.

"Marty, what happened?"

"The reason why Fan Qing's old subordinates had abnormal movements was that they were provoked by Yang Xian's children and wanted to move to Yizhou. A few days ago, Yang Xian borrowed a hundred large ships from Ning Jingyuan and carried those two or thirty thousand people. Now, they are afraid that they have arrived in Wuning County."

"Marty, Yang Xian's son is so arrogant. If our army is unmoved, it will be ridiculed by the princes in the world and their military power will be lost!"

Unlike the cautious attitude just now, Wen Qing was very excited after hearing the news now.

After all, these two things are completely different. If Fan Qing’s old subordinates were dissatisfied with causing trouble because of the pension issue, it was only an internal problem and there was still a possibility of negotiation. But if they wanted to commit to Yizhou, the problem would be serious.

"Mr. Marquis, if we don't kill them all, the whole world thinks that our Chu army is gone."

"Yes! The great enemy of Shu and Chu is Huan's thief. Now Yang Xian has made this move, and it is obvious that he does not take our Chu State seriously. If the Marquis let these people leave, what will the Wu State Council think and what will the Liang Army think? Everyone will think that our Chu Army can be bullied."

"Mr. Marquis, those people will help the elderly and the young. Even if they arrive in Wuning County, they will not be able to reach Yizhou in ten days or half a month. We will definitely be able to catch up now."

...........

For a moment, the generals present asked for the battle, and there was constant discussion.

Cai Tong stretched out his hand and stopped them from talking. The generals wanted to chase Fan Qing's old subordinates, but Cai Tong hesitated.

This matter involves Yang Xian, so it is not simple. Cai Tong is not worried about whether he can catch up, but about what to do after catching up? Will he kill them all?

What's more, Huan Wu was in the north at this moment, sharpening his sword. If he had a conflict with Yang Xian, how could he deal with the Liang army in the north?

Cai Tong's adviser Kuai Xing saw his worries and persuaded him: "Marty, it is not wise to conflict with Yang Xian at this moment."

"Kuai Xing, what do you mean? What does it mean to conflict with Yang Xian is not wise. I, Chu Army, are you afraid of him?"

The general beside him said carelessly, his tone was very stormy, almost yelling and scolding.

"All the generals misunderstood what I mean."

Looking at the aggressive generals, Kuai Xing smiled and explained: "Yang Xian is Yang Xian, Fan Qing's old subordinate is Fan Qing's old subordinate, so we don't need to connect them together. At this moment, the great enemy of Chu is in Liang, so we don't need to have a conflict with the Shu army."

Cai Tong's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, continue talking."

"Fan Qing's old subordinates were people of our Chu State. The marquis had the right to kill them. If they were to blame the marquis, they would kill them all, and the world would not say that the marquis would be wrong. The marquis could set up the army in the city and go to Wuning County to stop them. If Yang Xian was not here, these two, 30,000 people were alive or dead, all in the marquis' thoughts. If Yang Xian was there, then in front of him, the marquis would deal with these people, which would first lose Yang Xian's face, and the second could also greatly increase the military power of our Chu army."

"Just as sir!"

Cai Tong stood up suddenly, his eyes shining brightly. He had another idea in his mind. If he could capture Yang Xian, then he would exchange him for Pingling, so Yang Chun would not agree.
