Qiaopu is a large town in the east of Shangyuan County, located to the west of the Qinhuai River and sandwiched between the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River.
Less than thirty miles away from here is the famous Longquan Town near Jinling City.
Longquan is a small stream and a famous ancient ferry near Shangyuan County. Less than twenty miles away, we reach the world-famous Jinling City.
In the heat, the sky will be bright.
Pulling the reins and urging the war horse to shine on the Jade Lion at Night, the horse slowed down completely at the entrance of the town. Let the BMW move forward slowly, feeling a little relaxed now.
After galloping all night, we could have reached here long ago at the speed of a jade lion that travels thousands of miles in a day. But to take into account the speed of the team behind him, Qu Quji had to slow down. After receiving Pan Chongche's message, Qu Quji did not hesitate at all.
Sitting in Suizhou was Qu Ji's good fortune, and he became the first governor of the Southern Han Dynasty to expand the capital of the state. Although everything was starting from scratch, it gave Qu Quji more room to flourish.
Many people are not optimistic about Qu Quji's appointment, not only because he was born a slave, but also because he was born in the prince's palace of Jiaozhou. If we go back two years, not to mention that Qu Quji can take up this position, even if he is a servant of the Wang family, his identity will cause an uproar in the world and Lingnan.
It has to be said that Emperor Liu Jixing's courage and willfulness, and his personal appointment completely eliminated the attention and rumors of others.
I am grateful to the emperor, and I even say that I can do everything for him.
What is even more shocking is that it is said that Pan Chongche, the first general in Lingnan, had always been at odds with the Qu family. Who knew that the emperor actually asked Qu Quji to work with Pan Chongche.
Some people say it was to let Qu Quji monitor Pan Chongche, while others said it was to let Pan Chongche take charge of the north and control the fierce horse of the Qu family.
No matter what you say, no matter how others speculate, the Holy Will has been the most difficult to understand since ancient times!
Pan Chongche and Qu Quji got along very well. For the officials of Prince Xing's palace, few people knew the truth. After all, they were so far apart. Emperor Liu Jixing was in control, because the secret party's function was to control.
For a domestic slave to be released as an official in a state, it is undoubtedly a huge thing for the Qu family, which has lost power in recent years. Whether it was Qu Ye, the king of Jiaozhou who now ascended the throne, or Qu Chengzhou, the last prince of the Qu family, Wenzhou Gong, they all expressed enough goodwill towards Qu Quji.
But everyone has not forgotten that Qu Quji grew up in Tangzhou Houfu and has been following the current Huaihua General Quju. If Qu Ju had not gone to the southwest, Qu Quji would have definitely gone to ask Qu Ju for advice. Regarding the goodwill of the Prince's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, Qu Quji maintained appropriate etiquette.
Qu Quji didn't know if he would be called ungrateful, but in the days after arriving in Ji'nan, he not only built Suizhou City, but also received Pan Chongche's guidance.
In his spare time, Qu Quji also seriously asked for advice on his doubts. Not only did Pan Chongche not refuse or hold back, but after getting Qu Quji's own confirmation, he pointed out many of Qu Quji's cultivation problems. She even spoke to him and told him to be a person with your heart and do things with your heart.
After gradually understanding the emperor's intentions, Qu Quji naturally became more and more loyal to Bole, which also allowed him to gradually take control of the power near Ji'nan. The emperor even delegated power to major decisions, as long as they were beneficial to the court.
Qu Quji was one of the main participants in this encirclement plan in the southern part of the Chu region. Not only was he responsible for monitoring the Tang state, he was also responsible for attacking Zhang Wenbiao.
After receiving a secret report that Zhang Wenbiao left the city, Yongzhou City was responsible for blocking and intercepting Zhang Wenbiao. Shaozhou used Guo Jing as the main force to exert pressure to prevent Zhou Xingfeng from going south to reinforce the secret party and carry out the assassination operation. Then Pan Chongche rushed to Hengzhou City to seize the city.
Everything in Tang State is relatively stable at present, and there is no possibility of any unusual movement. This was also the main reason why Qu Quji and Pan Chongche boldly marched north. If you advance from the north to the south, you can have a solid backing. If Guo Jing from the Chu region moves, it is very likely that he will be outflanked by Zhou Xingfeng.
After receiving the message from Pan Chongche, Qu Quji was inevitably filled with passion. After all, it was the emperor's plan to march north to Chu, and it was also a huge change in Qu Quji's life. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it will cause a sensation in the world.
Hengzhou has always been a nightmare for the small southern imperial court to be unable to advance northward. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for entering the Central Plains from the north and the south. When he thought of this, Qu Quji couldn't help but feel unable to calm down.
Arrangements were made for deputy general Ye Doo to guard Suizhou, and Qu Quji personally led a team to rush to Hengzhou City for reinforcements. Hengzhou City is known as the South Gate of the Chu Land. It is guarded by Zhang Wenbiao, Zhou Xingfeng's number one general, which is a symbol of the undefeated Chu Land.
While following Pan Chongche, Qu Quji had studied Zhang Wenbiao in depth. Zhang Wenbiao was a rising general in the Chu region. After Ma Chu withdrew from the Chu region, he became known as a fierce general among the ten brothers in the Chu region.
This person was very loyal to Zhou Xingfeng. When Pan Chongche was stationed in Chenzhou, he had many conflicts with Zhang Wenbiao in Guiyang Prison. However, due to the terrain of Wuling and the changing pattern of the Chu region, and more importantly, Pan Chongche was afraid of the court's suspicion, there was no in-depth result.
But now with the instructions from Emperor Liu Jixing and the emperor's personal layout, it is inevitable to attack Hengzhou City. The passion in Qu Quji's heart was naturally unlimited. It was the honor of a minister to open up new territories for the emperor and the court.
Although the number of men and horses they brought this time was not too many, after all, Suizhou City had just been established, and there were still too many unstable factors around it. But for the current military strength of the Chu region, and the current situation in Hengzhou City, the thousand men following Qu Qujiji were still powerful.
The mountains in the Wuling area are special and form many complex terrains with Chu. It not only hinders the normal movement of the team, but also facilitates sneak attacks during the march.
As early as two months ago, Pan Chongche arranged spies to cooperate with the secret parties in Chu Territory and found a shortcut to penetrate into Chu Territory. Nowadays, this mountain road that villagers usually walk has undoubtedly become the key to entering Chu.
No matter how smart Zhang Wenbiao was, he could not have imagined that Qu Quji would quickly march on land and water to break through the defense line. What's more, because the dividing line between Chu and Lingnan is too long, it is impossible to defend each place with a large number of troops. Qu Quji led his team in, and it was almost an unobstructed intrusion.
Even if someone sees Yanling and Anren counties passing by along the way, they may not be able to stop this force. What's more, Qu Quji cleverly avoided the passes and water villages. In the face of the general trend, these small forces did not need to uproot themselves.
However, in order to avoid affecting his schedule, Qu Quji naturally could not enter Chu Land blatantly, so Qu Quji led his bodyguard to go ahead, clearing the way for the thousand soldiers behind him. The thousand soldiers behind him avoided unnecessary complications, but followed up quickly after traveling a long distance.
