At the prefect's manor.
The debate continued.
The helplessness and regret in Zhuge Xuan's heart grew stronger.
Zhuge Jin warned,"We are the king's army. How can we discuss with bandits?"”
"Elder brother."
Zhuge Liang, who was only thirteen years old, was not afraid of his elder brother's dignity. He stepped forward and argued,"Do you know who the Red Cliff Army is?"
"Bandits."
Zhuge Jin frowned.
Zhuge Liang asked again,"Since they are bandits, why did they attack Haiying?"”
"This…!"
Zhuge Jin was unable to refute.
"Uncle."
"Elder brother."
Zhuge Liang bowed and sighed." The Red Cliff Army is extraordinary. The fall of Haiying is not as simple as bandits. This is because the battle of the Dreamy Cloud Swamp and the fall of Haiying happened on the same day."”
"Hmm?"
Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin's expressions changed drastically.
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly." We've only been in Yuzhang for a year. We already know how powerful the Liu Clan is. How could the Red Cliff Army, who has been occupying the Tianyue Mountain for many years, not know?"”
"Hiss."
The two were speechless.
He knew that the sect was strong and still wanted to conquer the sea.
What was the Red Cliff Army doing, and what was their confidence?
"Hey."
Zhuge Liang sighed," The Red Cliff Army must have a backup plan. If we send our troops to Haiying, we will become enemies with the Liu Clan. After all, we send our troops to take over their power. Once we are held back, Zhu Hao can easily take over Nanchang!”
"What a disaster."
"Are we just going to leave Yuzhang like this?" Zhuge Xuan said bitterly.”
"Hey."
Zhuge Jin sighed.
"If we can ask for help from General Liu Pan, we might be able to resolve this crisis and defeat Zhu Hao."”
"Kong Ming."
Zhuge Jin warned," Zhu Hao is the prefect appointed by the imperial court. It is already a great crime for us to mobilize our troops. If we drag Jingzhou to war with him, even if it provokes a war between the two states, it will also make Liu Jingzhou a target of public criticism!”
"This…!"
Zhuge Liang's tender face was filled with disappointment.
Zhuge Jin bowed and said bitterly,""Uncle, it's better for us to return to Jingzhou. Yuzhang is a county in Yangzhou. Since Liu Yao supports Zhu Hao's army, he must be thinking of taking back Yuzhang.”
"Fine."
"When Zhu Hao comes, we'll hand over the prefect's seal and return to Jingzhou. Then we'll see what Liu Jingzhou plans to do." Zhuge Xuan said calmly.”
"Here."
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang bowed in agreement.
"Yuzhang."
"It's a mess."
Zhuge Xuan's heart was extremely heavy.
He was born intelligent and had the talent of a prefect.
Naturally, he knew that Liu Biao had the intention of swallowing Jiangdong.
Otherwise, why did Liu Pan and Huang Zhong garrison Changsha County?
Otherwise, Sun Jian would not have died under Huang Zu's arrow.
Otherwise, how could he be recommended by Liu Biao to be the prefect of Yuzhang?
The wind and clouds gradually rose.
Yuzhang gradually became somber.
Even the commoners could smell the stench of blood.
Mid-July.
Yuzhang welcomed a new prefect.
Zhu Hao and Zuo Rong led 5,000 troops to the city.
At this moment.
The gates of Nanchang were wide open.
Zhuge Xuan was dressed in plain clothes and carried the prefect's seal out of the city.
Behind him were the prefect's subordinate officials and the county governors of various places.
"Hmm?"
Zhu Hao and Ze Rong were slightly stunned.
Zhuge Xuan smiled and said," After Governor Zhou died of illness, Liu Jingzhou recommended him to take charge of Yuzhang. Now that the Imperial Court has sent a Governor, he naturally has to return his authority. This way, I can return to Jingzhou to report."”
"Is that so?"
Ze Rong raised his eyebrows.
"I thought you didn't want to give up your authority." Zhu Hao also teased.”
"I wouldn't dare."
Zhuge Xuan bowed and presented the seal.
"Swoosh."
Zhu Hao held the prefect seal and said indifferently,""Before taking office, my father once said that Yuzhang is the Yuzhang of the Imperial Court and also the Yuzhang of Yangzhou. He asked me to manage it well, so I won't keep you.”
"Here."
Zhuge Xuan felt humiliated.
Clearly, Zhu Hao was using Zhu Rong and the Imperial Court to humiliate him for overstepping his authority and having the intention to rebel.
"Enter the city."
Zhu Hao shouted sternly.
Tall horses and a large army.
Under the compliments of Zuo Rong and the many officials in Yuzhang.
It was as if he had reached the peak of his life. He was not even interested in looking at Zhuge Xuan.
"Too much."
Zhuge Liang's snow-white face turned red with anger.
Zhuge Jin was steady enough. He clenched his fists tightly and did not say a word.
"Heh."
"The tea is cold when people leave."
Zhuge Xuan looked at the officials who were flattering Zhu Hao.
At this moment, it was as if he could see the scene when he took office.
"Uncle."
"Brothers."
At this moment, Zhuge Jun drove a carriage out of the city.
"Let's go."
Zhuge Xuan stepped onto the shaft of the carriage and stared at the giant city before him. He said indifferently,""Yuzhang isn't so easy to take. Whether it's the Liu Clan or the Red Cliff Army, they aren't existences that Zhu Hao can suppress.”
"Here."
Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang got into the carriage.
Zhu Hao entered the city.
Zhuge Xuan withdrew from the battle for the prefect.
The Red Cliff Army scouts hiding in the mountains saw this scene.
Wang Hu, who was already a centurion of the Red Cliff Army, made arrangements."You guys continue to follow the carriage. I'll go back and report to Commandant Liao and wait for the lord to make a decision.”
"Here."
The scouts replied.
