The most aggrieved person at this time is Shen Gongxi. He originally followed Shen Yanran, but he is also considered a top master in the world.
Regardless of what he has in mind at this time, as long as Jinling is still the world of the Xiaoyao sect, he can still be free in Jinling City. Many people understand this.
Of course, many people know that he is Shen Yanran's person and represents Shen Yanran.
There are many people in this world, and often others cannot see their true nature.
If everything goes well, the entire Chunan region will become Zhang Wenbiao's world. Because although his military strength is limited, he really determines the military power and is responsible for the border between Lingnan, South Han and Southern Tang.
Maybe Zhang Wenbiao couldn't even think of it at this moment. He didn't know what went wrong and how he could lose consecutively. To say that he was one of the top warlords even under Zhou Xingfeng, but he never expected to encounter the anomaly of Lingnan.
As a base for gathering strength, it was suddenly occupied by someone from behind. This was an unexpected surprise, but it was also a great shame and humiliation. If Zhang Wenbiao couldn't even recapture Hengzhou City, how could he talk about the future?
Because the Chu Territory is now considered to be vast and sparsely populated, the entire Chu Territory forces do not have much troops to supplement. This is what Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Wenbiao are most worried about, and it is also the reason why Zhou Xingfeng lets Zhang Wenbiao develop on his own.
Although Zhang Wenbiao controlled most of the southern Chu area, the territory he could truly manage effectively was limited. Because there are no people in the vast area, he is actually a bare commander. How can we develop overseas if we don’t have soldiers?
Even if you get the greatest rights, you are still powerless. This is what makes Zhang Wenbiao most depressed and why he dare not act rashly.
Knowing clearly that Hengzhou City had been occupied and some surrounding prefectures and counties had been eroded, Zhang Wenbiao did not mention sending thousands of soldiers to sweep the surrounding areas, but even with a few hundred soldiers, they could easily be wiped out. However, Zhang Wenbiao did not dare to separate hundreds of soldiers because he was too suspicious.
It can be said that in the current situation in Chu region, as long as there are a few hundred elites in hand, it is enough to take over a state. Zhang Wenbiao knows this deeply. After decades of peace, it could be said that people were rich and powerful, but everything changed after Ma Yin passed away.
The Chunan region alone was completely defeated by the Ma family's children and subsequent warlords in just a few years. Zhang Wenbiao had been in Hengzhou City for so long and had finally gathered some strength, but he was inexplicably liquidated. You can imagine how depressed he is now.
The surroundings have just turned white, and a glimmer of dawn has already been seen on the horizon.
Guo Jing stood quietly on the top of Hushan Mountain, looking at the plains between valleys in the distance. There are Hengshan Mountains on both sides of this road, and the complete river in the middle is Zhishui, one of the three famous tributaries of the Xiangshui River.
It’s only eighty kilometers from here to Hengzhou City.
It seemed very close, but Guo Jing understood that if it were a team, it would be difficult to reach the destination without traveling for nearly ten hours. Of course, if it was a special operations team, it might be possible to shorten the time by half, but Guo Jing knew it was unrealistic.
From the time he entered the Chu region and developed into Shaozhou Zongheng now, he has trained less than five thousand special soldiers. Nowadays, these people are divided throughout the Chu Territory to lay the groundwork for future plans, and the number of people who are actually available around them will never exceed 800 people.
This time Pan Song sent Pan Yang to ambush him. Not only did he successfully counterattack, but he also divided his troops into three groups and captured Shaozhou again. According to the strength of his men, it is completely impossible to defend Shaozhou City, so after attacking Pan Song's base camp again, he can easily withdraw from Shaozhou City.
Pan Song was helpless and did not dare to summon the soldiers he had brought with him. He could only watch as Guo Jing wandered wildly among the prefectures and counties. However, Guo Jing knew that he had occupied Shaozhou again, which undoubtedly gave great confidence to the people who followed him.
After rekindling the people's hope, Guo Jing naturally wanted to leave some soldiers to help the people. Then he led less than five hundred soldiers to Hengzhou to aid Pan Chongche. This strategy of seducing the east and attacking the west has long emerged, but this time Guo Jing did it to cooperate with Pan Chongche.
Although Shuguangli looked calm, Guo Jing was actually not at all calm in his heart.
After receiving the message from the secret party, today we have to hold on to the limit of Hengzhou City. Because there are not many special forces who follow Pan Chongche into Hengzhou City, and there are some believers called by the secret party, the number of personnel is also limited. Originally, Pan Chongche's conservative estimate was that it could not exceed three days at most.
Because Zhang Wenbiao got the news, the distance from Yongzhou Waterway back to Hengzhou City was limited. If Zhang Wenbiao launched a full-scale attack, it would be difficult for Hengzhou City to hold on. However, Pan Chongche detained Zhang Wenbiao's family members in the city, as well as the family members of some generals, which was also a card.
If Pan Chongche's reputation in the world was simply relied upon, he would naturally not use this method to deal with him. But now it involves the military affairs of two vassal towns. With Pan Chongche's state of mind and thoughts, he would naturally reveal these intentions deliberately to intimidate Zhang Wenbiao, the warlord.
Guo Jing admired Pan Chongche very much. After all, he was the number one general in the Lingnan court and a very famous figure in various vassal towns throughout the Central Plains. This time he was able to cooperate with Pan Chongche and went to the rescue despite all the trouble. Guo Jing just wanted to meet this senior.
Of course, Guo Jing had another idea. This is why this action is one of the emperor's decisions. As a loyal supporter of Emperor Liu Jixing, Guo Jing will never allow himself to make mistakes. Guo Jing must make the greatest efforts to make things happen.
But the journey was not close, and he had already lost some time when he occupied Shaozhou City. Now that he was still so far away from Hengzhou City, he was really worried that Pan Chongche's just-acquired results would lead to a total loss because of his delay.
If he rushes to Hengzhou City to join forces, although Guo Jing does not dare to boast about his combat prowess, but with his two years of experience in the Chu region, these teams under his command can really be regarded as a surprise force sent from heaven.
As long as the final gap is covered properly, Zhang Wenbiao can be surrounded. Thinking of Hengzhou City not far away, although he didn't know how this battle would end, Guo Jing felt his blood boil all over.
We set out at Yinshi in the early morning, and actually walked so far before midnight. Even Su Hou, who had been silent, was a little surprised. Ma Yun made an appointment with Xiao Jiulang again during lunch, and happily told Xiao Jiulang that if everything goes well, he should be able to arrive in Jinling at Youshi. However, because there may be many ships in Jinling, everyone has to wait for a long time at the port entry.
