Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

"Write down the document, appointing Jiang Xuan as the city lord of Xiangfan, and entrusting the entire Xiangfan army to his management. Of course, most importantly, Xiangfan will begin today."

"Detaching from the sun."

what?

Zhao Heng's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

After all, this kind of thing could be considered treason.

It will kill people!

However, his current situation is the same.

There is only one outcome for those who disobey: death!

Jiang Xuan seemed to see the struggle on the other person's face, and then he suddenly squatted down and reached out to pat Zhao Heng's cheek.

"If I were to obtain Xiangfan City, I would definitely need your involvement, and I would never allow you to die."

"What do you say?"

Zhao Heng's eyelids were lowered, and his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Because he understood all too well the meaning behind Jiang Xuan's words; they were simply telling him that as long as he agreed to this, he could still live.

If you disagree, there is only one outcome.

dead!

That's not the main point. The main point is that as long as he survives, then I, with countless subordinates in Xiangfan City, am destined to have a chance to escape and fight back.

So, do you want revenge?

Zhao Heng gave Jiang Xuan a deep look. For the first time, he realized that a young man could be so terrifying.

It's absolutely terrifying.

This idea, this terrible thought.

Suffocating.

Just as Jiang Xuan was hesitating, he suddenly remembered something, then slapped his forehead and said something.

"By the way, send 30,000 to 50,000 Xiangfan troops to hunt down Xu Fengnian."

"After all, it's only polite to reciprocate."

Zhao Kai wrote this very quickly, after all, it was just about killing Xu Fengnian; he had actually wanted to kill him for a long time.

However, due to the influence of Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, and various other factors, he has not yet had the chance to make a move.

Thirty thousand!

After receiving Zhao Kai's orders, the 30,000 Xiangfan cavalry set off directly for Laoshan.

Just then, Xu Fengnian and his group left Laoshan and the Wang family, heading towards Xiangfan City.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the handover documents, then quickly reached out and grabbed Zhao Heng's arm.

"From today onwards, I will be relying entirely on Brother Zhao!"

Zhao Heng's lips twitched, and his face turned ugly.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, he wanted to live and take revenge!

Sometimes, enduring hardship and biding one's time is not a bad thing, as long as one can endure it.

Zhao Heng took a deep breath and then slowly closed his eyes.

……

……

In the following days, official notices appeared in Xiangfan City.

This means that Xiangfan City declared independence and supported Jiang Xuan as its lord.

Be King!

According to Zhao Heng's official statement, he felt ashamed and guilty about what he had done to the Great Chu back then, so after learning about Jiang Xuan, he decided to recognize him as his master.

Although Jiang Xuan refused, he still handed over his military power and the management of Xiangfan City to Jiang Xuan as well.

Moreover, this announcement was not only posted in Xiangfan City, but also sent to various major cities, as well as Tai'an City, the capital of Liyang Imperial City.

Even formal notifications are not independent.

Of course, at this time, Zhao Heng said that in order to show his loyalty, he sent people to capture Xu Fengnian, the heir of the Northern Liang King.

Although the enemy escaped, they killed Ning Emei, the commander of the Fengzi Battalion, as well as eight hundred soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion.

They killed Xu family retainers Wei Shuyang, Lü Qiantang, Yang Qingfeng, and Xu Fengnian's maid Qingniao, among others.

As for this Shu Xiu, she is quite pretty, and most importantly, she is skilled in disguise. Moreover, her ability to train women is unique.

It is said that as long as a girl is beautiful, she can quickly become more skilled at serving people than the most beautiful courtesan in a brothel.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan kept this person behind. After all, Shu Xiu had been aiming for the White Emperor's Embracing the Path Technique from the beginning, so there was no need for her to risk her life with Xu Fengnian.

As for Xu Fengnian, he eventually ran away.

He was taken away by the old sword god Li Chungang.

However, neither of them fared well. Li Chungang was hit by several arrows, and Xu Fengnian, the heir of the Northern Liang King, had his leg broken.

Now, both I and the kid are Xu the Cripple.

Jiang Xuan was fairly satisfied with the result.

As for whether this would create enmity between Jiang Xuan and Li Yang and Bei Liang, Jiang Xuan was not afraid at all.

After all, the current state of the martial arts world is very different from what it used to be.

Firstly, there are irreconcilable issues between the Li Yang royal family and the Northern Liang, and no one can mend the rift between them.

Furthermore, not long ago, the Northern Barbarian army began to eye the area around Liyang with predatory intent, encroaching on it and carrying out widespread burning, killing, and looting.

The other places are also stirring with activity.

Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Xuan has more than 300,000 Xiangfan troops under his command.

With such a large army, even Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, cannot underestimate it.

After all, the Northern Liang army only has 300,000 men.

Even if the Northern Liang army was brave and skilled in battle, able to fight two against one, that was still a battlefield.

A true meat grinder. Even a powerful being at the terrestrial immortal level, in the center of a battlefield with 500,000 to 600,000 troops, would likely end up with nothing but a mangled corpse.

Therefore, no matter who it is, at least at this stage, it is absolutely impossible for them to take action when they do not know the exact situation.

After all, nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out, but some people have no choice but to be.

For example, the Li Yang royal family in Tai'an City has all gone mad at this moment.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhao Dun's Angry Spirit and Xu Xiao's Grief

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Useless, useless, all of you are fucking useless!"

Zhao Dun pushed everything on the dragon table to the ground.

He never expected that Jiang Xuan would actually do such a thing!

He actually made Xiangfan independent! He made himself the master of Xiangfan!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!

Zhao Heng!

At this moment, Zhao Dun didn't even hate Jiang Xuan. He just felt that if Zhao Heng had been a little more forceful, he would have committed suicide directly, and none of this would have happened.

Damn it!

The key point is that in the current situation, Xiangfan's independence is a slap in the face to him and to the entire Liyang Dynasty.

Moreover, Xiangfan is located at a vital transportation hub, making it a strategically important location that military strategists would fight over.

This is why the battles of Western Chu, Western Shu, and Li Yang all took place here back then.

Moreover, the entire city of Xiangfan can be described as having thick city walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If food supplies are sufficient, it can last not only three years, but even eight or ten years.

Furthermore, Xiangfan City was originally part of the territory of Western Chu.

Originally, only 10,000 people remained in Xiangyang City after that battle, but after the war, everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt.

The population began to recover, and with the addition of people from the surrounding towns, Xiangfan City now has more than 200,000 people.

Among them, the elderly of Western Chu numbered at least one-third, if not half.

In addition, their children and descendants.

Without Prince Jing'an guarding the city and without these 300,000 troops, how could the entire city of Xiangfan be contained?

But now, it's all over.

Once Xiangfan City falls into Jiang Xuan's hands, these people don't even need to do any mental preparation; they will directly throw themselves into Jiang Xuan's arms.

The city of Xiangfan is no longer part of Liyang.

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair, whose eyes could barely open, still spoke up: "What about the army? Could we start from this angle?"

"After all, Jiang Xuan's sudden appearance will definitely cause some resentment, and besides, don't we have people there?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dun shook his head and sighed softly.

"Dead, all dead."

Ok?

At this moment, the members of the Liyang royal family frowned, their faces showing confusion.

"Because there are people from Western Chu in the Xiangfan army, it is impossible to use all of ours, and we still need locals to keep them in check."
