For Xie Xuan, he actually had the intention of the Northern Expedition for a long time, but he lacked the support of Jingzhou's grain, grass, army and horses. With only 80,000 soldiers in Beifu, even if he wanted to go north, he was unable to do so.
The north is prosperous and the south is weak. Even if the north is now in war due to Fu Jian's death, it will not be easy for the southern dynasty to expedition to the north.
Moreover, the Southern Dynasties had been comfortable for many years. From the officials in the court to the common people, even the army lieutenants had long since lost their ambition to regain the Central Plains.
In fact, after Huan Xuan was promoted to Grand Sima, he was more powerful than Xie Xuan in the Northern Expedition. On the surface, Jingzhou still belonged to the Southern Dynasty, but due to the independent military power of Jingzhou, Huanxuan was considered a feudal lord.
Although the Xie family was in charge of the Southern Dynasties and could be called the Cao family in the late Han Dynasty, if the Xie family wanted to seize military power in Jingzhou, they would be resisted by Huanxuan of Jingzhou to the death.
Once that time comes, even if Xie Xuan uses Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry to attack, it will only create a situation where the Jingzhou Army will be wiped out. The Southern Dynasties cannot do without the Jingzhou Army, so Xie Xuan did not do this.
He could have assassinated Huan Xuan to regain control of Jingzhou, but thinking of the friendship between Huan Xuan's brother Huan Chong and the fact that Huan Xuan was the last bloodline of the Huan family, he hesitated all the way to the assassination.
Now that the magic sword Miaoyun has been taken back by Tianjun, it is no longer possible for Xie Xuan to deal with Jingzhou.
Xie Xuan was actually regretting it, so what about Jingzhou Huanxuan?
…
The Xie family took charge of the Southern Dynasties and became the Cao family in the late Han Dynasty.
Earlier, because Xie Xuan had the magic sword and was able to command the "Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun", Huan Xuan had just been sticking to Jingzhou and suppressing his desire to seize the power of the Southern Dynasties and proclaim himself emperor.
Huan Xuan was the son of Huan Wen. When Huan Wen was in power, he was very powerful and ambitious, and he had long wanted to dethrone the emperor and establish himself on his own. He once forced the Jin Dynasty to perform the "Jiuxi" abdication ceremony for him. If Xie An, Wang Tanzhi and others had not blocked it, he was afraid that the Jin Dynasty would already have the surname Huan instead of Sima.
Huan Xuan inherited Huan Wen's ambition. Everyone thought that Huan Chong died of illness, but no one knew that Huan Xuan had killed his brother. Huan Chong was actually killed by Huan Xuan himself.
Jingzhou, Jiangling, and the governor's office.
Huanxuan wore the famous sword "Broken Jade Cold" on his waist and was dressed in warrior casual clothes. He was receiving an honored guest in the inner hall, and this honored guest was none other than Xu Daofu, the "Demon Marquis" of Tianshi Dao.
Although Huan Xuan was guarding Jingzhou honestly due to the power of the "Eighteen Riders of Yanyun", in fact, he had secretly received help from the Demon Sect and contacted the Southern Tianshi Dao.
Cooperating with Tianshi Dao, the two parties controlled most of the salt trade along the coast and made countless money. Although he had been making all preparations to seize power and become emperor.
"Brother Xu, why are you here?"
His language was neither salty nor bland, and lacked the warmth of an ally.
Xu Daofu knew that he was being oppressed intolerably, and was not surprised. He simply said, "Daofu is here just to tell Brother Huan some good news."
Because he was afraid of Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry, Huan Xuan's heart was filled with stagnation. He looked indifferent to the so-called 'good news' and said, "But I don't know what the good news is?"
Xu Daofu smiled lightly and said, "Tianjun is dead."
Huan Xuan was startled, and then he said excitedly: "He is dead? He is already dead!"
Xu Daofu shook his head and said: "He is still alive, but he is not far from death."
Huan Xuan's face instantly became very ugly.
"Brother Xu is here to tease Huan?"
Xu Daofu said happily: "My master has been released from seclusion. My senior brother Lu Xun has now gone to Huangcheng to issue a letter of war to the master. Seven days later, the top of Miao Miao Peak will be Tianjun's burial place."
After hearing this, Huan Xuan's face became a little excited and a little worried. He looked at this person intently for a while, and after hesitating, he asked, "Who can the Heavenly Master defeat?"
Xu Daofu glanced at him coldly, and then sneered: "Brother Huan, do you underestimate your master? My master has achieved great success in the 'Huang Tian Dafa', and has achieved the supreme mystical skill. The so-called Tianjun will soon become a legend, and he will do whatever he wants." Death!"
Perhaps he was moved by Xu Daofu's confident words, or perhaps after suppressing it for too long, he finally found a way to vent, and Huan Xuan burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, okay! I, Huan Xuan, will eventually become emperor. Xie Xuan, your death is near! Xie An, it's time for you to die too, hahaha..."
Xu Daofu looked at this almost crazy person and interrupted: "Xie Xuan is not easy to deal with, but with my master here, he has no choice but to die, and Yanyun's eighteen cavalry can't stop my master and grandson. kindness."
Huan Xuan laughed endlessly and said: "Why does the Heavenly Master need to take action? Brother Xu doesn't know anything. Now the magic sword is no longer around Xie Xuan."
Xu Daofu said in surprise: "Oh? Xie Xuan has lost the magic sword?"
Huan Xuan said happily: "Yes, I have received the news a long time ago. The magic sword Miaoyun is no longer with Xie Xuan. It's just that Huan still doesn't know the whereabouts of the magic sword, which is a pity!"
Xu Daofu nodded slightly, also feeling pity.
The Miaoyun Magic Sword can command the eighteen riders of Yanyun. If it helps, not only the entire south, but even the entire world can be at your fingertips.
Xu Daofu suddenly said: "How do you plan to deal with Xie Xuan?"
Huan Xuan smiled and said: "There is no need to destroy every one of my soldiers in Jingzhou. I have a way to kill Xie Xuan directly."
Hearing his arrogance, Xu Daofu sneered: "Not to mention the personal guards around Xie Xuan, his master also praised Xie Xuan's swordsmanship very much. How can you assassinate him?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Huan Xuan's mouth and he said: "Today I will introduce three friends to Brother Xu."
After saying this, Huan Xuan suddenly stood up and said, "Three elders, please come out and meet the Celestial Master's disciples."
A ferocious "haha" laughter came from behind. When Xu Daofu turned around, three figures had appeared in the lobby.
A white-haired old woman and two elderly men. The three of them all looked very old, but their faces were radiant, as if they had great energy.
Xu Daofu was slightly stunned. When these three people appeared, he didn't feel the slightest reaction at first, but this made him afraid to be too big. Then Huan Xuan's introduction made him look even more moved.
"Come, Brother Xu, let me introduce you. These three are Ha Gongyuan, Qu Xingfu, and Wei E, the three elders of the Holy Sect."
Xu Daofu could feel the restrained inner strength of the three of them. He stood up slowly, faced the three of them and said politely: "Xu Daofu, the Master of Heaven, has met these three."
The voice floated gently, containing a powerful force...
Although the voice was soft, it seemed that it could be transmitted hundreds of miles away!
The three of them were all slightly shocked. They did not expect that one of Sun En's disciples could actually possess such deep internal power.
Huan Xuan didn't take it seriously when both sides showed their talents, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down. We still have to plan many things in our south."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them looked at each other, then turned around together and moved forward to take their seats.
But at this moment, something strange happened again.
"I have ordered the disciples of the Holy Sect to return to their respective sects. Why don't you three listen?"
Everyone stood still and turned around, and a figure came into view again...
