    A few days later, there was still no news from Luoyang, but Guo Jia told Liu Ke:

    "My lord, the time has come to seize Guangling County."

    Liu Ke thought about it and thought it made sense. It was better than doing nothing.

    It¡¯s a coincidence that he and the prefect of Guangling have known each other for a long time, but they have never met in person.

    ¡°I remember that when he was still a small county magistrate, the prefect was rude to him.

    So he sent an envoy to Guangling to invite the prefect to come and report on his duties.

    There were three successive waves of envoys, and the prefect was either busy with official duties or unwell.

    Liu Ke directly labeled him as a traitor with a piece of paper. With Zhao Yun as his general, he raised 30,000 troops and went straight to Guangling.

    The prefect of Guangling looked at the menacing Dongyang Army and felt confused.

    "What should I do?"

    At this moment, there are only 5,000 men and horses in Guangling City. Not to mention their combat capabilities, they are also suppressed in terms of numbers.

    The confidant of Guangling Prefect is a bald middle-aged man named Zhou Fang.

    When the lord encounters a crisis, isn¡¯t it an opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds?

    So he straightened his clothes and said seriously: "The Yangzhou Shepherd is so stubborn that he must have listened to the slander. I am willing to go and explain it clearly to the Grand Administrator."

    Yes, this is a misunderstanding!

    The governor of Guangling was convinced and ordered Zhou Fang to send an envoy.

    As soon as Zhou Fang entered the military camp, he lined up the gold and silver treasures.

    First, blind their eyes!

    "This is the governor's wish. I hope General Zhao will accept it."

    A total of fifty thousand gold, a big deal.

    However, Zhao Yun was unmoved and just as he was about to scold him, Guo Jia stood up and said first, "The prefect of Guangling is so polite. This is General Zhao's blessing. But why don't you have the same status as my lord?"

    Zhou Fang was stunned, mmp, this is for Liu Ke, what do you mean?

    There are such shameless people in this world!

    Zhou Fang wanted to throw away his sleeves and go out, but he found that Guo Jia had already put away 50,000 gold.

    "you¡­¡­"

    If you go back empty-handed and things are not done well, what will happen?

    Zhou Fang said viciously:

    "One hundred thousand gold! I wonder if Yangzhou Mu is satisfied?!"

    Guo Jia nodded and said, "It depends on the sincerity of the prefect."

    Zhao Yun was stunned, could such an operation be possible?

    "The prefect of Guangling is plundering the people's fat and anointing. It's all ill-gotten wealth. Zilong doesn't have to worry." Guo Jia comforted him.

    "No, I'm just worried that my lord will have a bad reputation." Zhao Yun explained.

    "My lord is not here, I will bear all the bad reputation." Guo Jia said firmly.

    Fifty thousand gold, just open your mouth and come, why not do it?

    It¡¯s all drink money!

    Zhou Fang returned to the city and reported the matter.

    The prefect was furious and said: "This kid is playing tricks on you!"

    Zhou Fang thought about it, it¡¯s really true, he didn¡¯t even see Liu Ke¡¯s face, and a counselor¡¯s answer was still ambiguous.

    "You can go down." The prefect said disappointedly. He had searched for so long to get the fifty thousand gold, but he lost it in just half a day.

    How can I not feel heartache?

    "My lord, I have another plan!" Zhou Fang said.

    At this moment, he felt so cold in his heart that he could only restore his impression among the prefects by constantly making moves.

    The prefect of Guangling asked with a try attitude: "Oh? Tell me!"

    "We can send an envoy to ask for help!" Zhou Fang said.

    "Who will help us?" the prefect of Guangling sneered, Yangzhou is Liu Ke's Yangzhou, everyone can't protect themselves, who will care about him!

    However, he still had a glimmer of hope.

    ??Maybe other people have their brains opened up and know the reason why lips die and teeth are cold?

    "Runan Yuan Highway!" Zhou Fang blurted out.

    The prefect of Guangling is not a fool, he figured it out immediately.  Yuan Jiujiao is Yuan Shu. Not long ago, he wiped out the Gepi Yellow Turbans and occupied Runan. He had 100,000 followers and was very powerful.

    More importantly, Yuan Shu is the governor of Yangzhou, so he is naturally opposed to Yangzhou Mu.

    If Yuan Shu wants to get involved in Yangzhou, he will definitely confront Liu Ke.

    "This is a very good plan!" the prefect of Guangling clapped his hands and applauded.

    Zhou Fang breathed a sigh of relief, her position was saved.??.

    When the envoy set off, the prefect of Guangling immediately summoned the guard general Wang Dang and asked, "Can General Wang hold on for seven days?"

    Wang Dang laughed loudly, patted his chest and said: "Seven days? The governor underestimates the general. We have five thousand men and horses. If we gather the young men in the city, we can break through ten thousand. If we defend against the high wall, even if the other side comes and there are one hundred thousand."  , and it is impossible to capture Guangling in just a few days!"

    The governor of Guangling thought about it and realized that he was really too nervous.

    Think back to the time when 100,000 Yellow Turbans attacked Xuzhou. They surrounded it for two or three months but could not defeat it!

    The commander who originally attacked Guangzong was Lu Zhi, but after being unable to attack for a long time, he was replaced by Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was a fool and lost the battle.

    Thinking about it this way, the Dongyang Army is not so scary.

    Want to besieged?

    Sorry, there is still enough food in Guangling City for three months. If a large family bleeds, it will not be a problem to last for a year and a half.

    Suddenly, a scout hurried over, looking panicked.

    "Report!! The Dongyang Army has entered the city!"

    An hour ago.

    The time agreed with Zhou Fang has come, but he hasn¡¯t sent the money yet.

    Guo Jia knew that he couldn't treat others like fools.  So Zhao Yun was asked to prepare for a strong attack.

    But after a while, another group of people came to the door. They were the people guarding Li Cheng at the city gate.

    It turns out that they were unwilling to follow the prefect and decided to offer the city!

    Guo Jia immediately stabilized them and made various promises.

    The Dongyang Army entered Guangling without any effort and began to clean up the recalcitrant elements.

    Just like that, a scene appeared that stunned the prefect of Guangling.

    What the hell are you doing?

    Wang Dang lowered his head, but he was still very reliable at the critical moment. He gathered 500 people and started to defend the governor's mansion.

    He calculated the difference in combat power, but he didn¡¯t calculate the popularity!

    "Li Cheng deserves to die!" Wang Dang was furious.

    The prefect of Guangling collapsed on his seat, his eyes dull.

    "We promised to stick to it for seven days, why is it gone"

    "Master Taishou, if we can keep the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood, let's escape!" Zhou Fang said unwillingly. He didn't want to stay here and wait to die.

    Escape?  Where can I escape?

    The prefect of Guangling suddenly showed his determination to die, drew out his long sword and said: "Everyone will fight with me to the end!"

    Zhou Fang was shocked and slipped out of the prefect's house in a pissed mess. He didn't want to die yet!

    Under the pretense of the prefect¡¯s order, he snatched a horse and ran away.

    Go and join Yuan Shu!

    As long as Yuan Shu sends troops to regain Guangling, then he will be the biggest contributor.

    Zhao Yun personally led the troops and invaded the prefect's mansion, but encountered only sparse resistance.

    Soon, Wang Dang died in battle.

    Zhao Yun took the lead and wanted to capture Guangling Prefect alive. As soon as he got close, Guangling Prefect knew he was outmatched and committed suicide in public.

    "There is a bit of courage."

    After the fall of Guangling County, Jiangdu, Gaoyou, and Pingan counties surrendered one after another. At this point, Liu Ke truly took control of Guangling County.

    Liu Ke, who was far away in Dongyang, heard that the prefect of Guangling had committed suicide and ordered a grand burial.

    Liu Ke touched the back of his head:

    "By the way, what's this guy's name?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
