In the edict just read, the envoy from Luoyang, Sima Chi, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, in the name of the emperor, not only asked Liu Yu to lead the Qingzhou army to withdraw from the territory that had already occupied by Jibei County, Taishan County, Dongguan County and Langya County.

In addition, Liu Yuzheng's position as General Liu Yuzheng, the military governor of Qingzhou and the military governor of Qingzhou, and was transferred to the position of governor of Jizhou, the military governor of Jizhou and the military governor of Anbei.

If this appointment is in peace, it will be just a normal transfer, from one state to another.

However, at this time, the world was in chaos. The officials from all over the country all regarded the territory they ruled as their foundation, and anyone was willing to act lightly.

Moreover, everyone now knows that the governor of Youzhou, Wang Jun, has called himself the governor of Jizhou. If Liu Yu accepted this appointment, wouldn’t he have completely offended Wang Jun?

After hearing the content of these edicts, Liu Yu was not only not angry, but was a little confused when facing the angry generals.

Such a stupid order, even though he knew that Liu Yu could not comply, why did he send a special messenger to send it?

At this time, Liu Yu looked at the emperor envoy surrounded by Qingzhou generals, and not only felt sorry for him.

Don't this messenger know how difficult this task is?

Just when Liu Yu was imagining these things, Gao Cheng, as the emperor's envoy, was so scared that he could hardly stand up.

Although when he received the order from the Grand Tutor Sima Yue to go to Qingzhou to announce the imperial edict, Gao Cheng knew that this was not simple.

Sure enough, when Gao Cheng learned the content of the edict, he almost fainted on the spot. The content of the edict was obviously to anger Liu Yu, the thief who dominated Qingzhou.

After Liu Zhou saw the edict, he would definitely rebel again. At that time, Gao Cheng, as the emperor's envoy, would definitely be in danger. Maybe he would be washed clean and pulled onto the high platform as an item for the sacrifice of the flag.

Gao Cheng knew that all this was because the Taifu Sima Yue knew that Gao Cheng was a disciple of the emperor's teacher Wang Yan, and Wang Yan was just arrested and executed by the Taifu Sima Yue not long ago. The charge was to confuse the emperor and corrupt the government. In fact, it was because Wang Yan and others supported Emperor Sima Chi.

Although Gao Cheng had no evidence to participate in this matter, in Sima Yue's eyes, he was basically a thorn in his eyes.

Therefore, Gao Cheng got such a person who could be called a death-lost figure.

However, Gao Cheng's majestic appearance and handsome appearance were a handsome man. Although he was already panicked at this time, the solemnity and seriousness on his face actually added a little bit. In the eyes of those who did not know, he still thought that this envoy of the emperor was worthy of being the noble envoy of the emperor.

Unfortunately, Gao Cheng's majestic appearance cannot help him.

Several Qingzhou Army generals had surrounded Gao Cheng and began to question him in a slight manner, but they dared to claim such a life-spreading edict.

"Liu Yu, you are deeply grateful to the country and have soldiers from a state. When Luojing was in crisis, not only did you not want to go to Beijing to serve the king, but instead started a war due to personal grievances, causing the prefectures and counties to suffer wars, and looted the prefectures and counties to occupy the prefectures and counties. But you still have a little loyalty to the emperor and the country!"

Gao Cheng's words were so rude that he almost made it clear that Liu Yu was a traitor.

The Qingzhou military generals next to him became even more angry and noisy when they heard this.

After hearing this, Liu Yu's general Li Feng immediately drew his knife in his hand and rushed to Gao Cheng's face, with a sharp blade reaching his neck.

Seeing that someone threatened the safety of the emperor's envoy, the entourage behind Gao Cheng were all showing their fear. Not only did no one step forward to protect him, but they all shrank back like frightened quails.

"You bird man, my general has obtained the territory by his ability, why does the emperor want to take it away with a silk book?" Li Feng asked without hesitation.

If Liu Yu was really a serious court official, if he moved to another place, he would usually transfer the commanders of the Yamen Army like Li Feng and Zhao Kun. If that were the case, everything they had in Qingzhou would be guaranteed.

Moreover, Li Feng and Zhao Kun and other Qingzhou Army generals have regarded Qingzhou as their own acre of three parts. Their land, wealth, women and other assets in the past two years are all on the Qingzhou territory.

How could it be that all this was lost just because of an imperial edict from the emperor?

Hearing Li Feng's loud questioning, the other Qingzhou military generals also shouted immediately afterwards.

"Li Feng is right, why should the emperor transfer us with an edict?"

"That's right, this Qingzhou was defeated by us with the general, not by his emperor, so why should we listen to him?"

"We recognize him as the emperor, he is the emperor. If we do not recognize him, then the emperor will be nothing."

Hearing so many ridiculous and perverse shouts, Gao Cheng kept complaining. Sure enough, these Qingzhou soldiers were indeed traitors with unchanged bad habits, and these remarks were lawless.

Gao Cheng's own family is under the control of the Taifu Sima Yue, and uses this to prevent Gao Cheng from escaping halfway, or to directly surrender to the thieves in Qingzhou.

He knew that if he easily fell into the reputation of the emperor's envoy and left the Qingzhou army with a look of fear of death.

I'm afraid the Taifu Sima Yue will be in trouble for himself, and he is definitely annoying.

At that time, not only myself, but also my family will be in trouble.

Anyway, it's not good.

Gao Chengqiang held back the fear in his heart, as if he could not see the steel knife erected on his neck, raised his decent face and said loudly.

"Liu Yu, the emperor has long known that you are ambition and intends to seize the counties of Xu and Yan. Now he has ordered the Taifu King Donghai to lead 100,000 elite troops to station in Xingyang, and ordered the King of Langya to launch 100,000 Yangzhou soldiers to go north. If you still refuse to return, the two armies will attack in a few days. At that time, you will definitely crush you into powder."

"Fortunately, thanks to the emperor's kindness, he cannot bear to start another war to poison the people. As long as you can withdraw from Mount Tai, Dongguan and Langya counties, you can leave the blame."

After Gao Cheng said this, he couldn't help feeling relieved. He could say this. I think Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, should not make things difficult for his family anymore. After all, he was trying his best to fight this through words with all his life.

Gao Cheng looked like a decent person and his words were naturally credible. The words of the two armies were about to come were actually suppressed by some generals of the Qingzhou Army.

The Qingzhou army knew that although they had prepared enough to guide Taishan and other counties this time, they had to rely on mountain roads to transport them. If the two imperial troops from one west and one south attacked at the same time, the Qingzhou army's situation would be really passive.

Therefore, Gao Cheng's words of intimidation, which were full of loopholes, made many Qingzhou military generals panic.

"Hahaha, what a bluff!"

Just when some people were surprised, Liu Yu suddenly burst into laughter.

"What do you say about the King of Donghai? King Langya sent troops to attack, which is ridiculous. Sima Yue's nominal prime minister is actually a cunning person who harms the country and the people. Our Qingzhou army was originally loyal, righteous and virtuous in the wild. Since the Qingzhou elders entrusted Qingzhou to me, the Qingzhou army has worked together. In the eyes of Sima Yue, who harms the country and the people, he has regarded it as a enemy."

Liu Yu looked at the emperor's envoy and found that he had shown that his lie had been exposed, so he smiled contemptuously and continued.

"If Sima Yue really has this strength and can mobilize 200,000 troops to besiege our Qingzhou army, then he would not have to act quietly and take the opportunity to take Qingzhou directly. How could he send a so-called angel to express his intimidation? So, you are just absurd bluff."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, the generals who were originally a little surprised and suspicious also suddenly realized.

Yes, the Qingzhou army had long heard of the style of Sima Yue, the Qingzhou army, among the army, had always been in the middle and upper reaches. Sima Yue had always acted in a weird way. If he had the strength to encircle the Qingzhou army, he would have acted quietly. It was impossible for him to send an envoy of the emperor and promote an army of 200,000.

Seeing that the scary lies were exposed, Gao Cheng, as the emperor's envoy, wanted to speak again, but before he could speak, he was taken first by Liu Yu.

"Okay, don't say it anymore."

Liu Yu waved his hand, interrupting the emperor's envoy's move to speak, and continued.

"Originally, I wanted to treat the emperor and court of Luoyang with the law of ordinary prefectures and counties. However, now it seems that your puppet emperor is useless and not as effective as a general of the East China Sea King Sima Yue. Your words should have been explained by Sima Yue."

Liu Yu originally planned to force the envoy to persuade the soldiers of Langya County to surrender, but now it seems that what the envoy said is not afraid of death, and if he is forced, he will probably not be able to agree.

Moreover, Liu Yu had probably guessed why Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, sent a messenger to come here.

As the relationship between Youzhou and Qingzhou became closer, Sima Yue had already begun to make arrangements to make Liu Yu and Wang Jun get into a feud.

Whether this appointment is successful or not, Sima Yue can then tell the world and then naturally force Liu Yu to rebel.

In this way, Wang Jun, who has been seeking fame recently and intends to turn himself into what scholars want, has to draw a clear line with Liu Yu.

After guessing these, Liu Yu found it a little ridiculous.

Now it seems that I have no good feelings for the Jin Ting, and I have no good feelings for Sima Yue, a big messenger, and I have no obstacles in my heart for smashing all the names of Jin Ting.

At this moment, Liu Yu felt that instead of continuing to worship the Jinshi sign, which was about to lose, it would be better to find a way to start a new job.

However, this is not the most suitable time. At least after occupying Taishan County and Langya County, the Haidai land centered on Taishan County can be truly connected, and there will be the capital to calmly deal with the hostile and evil neighbors around.

Liu Yu was too lazy to continue to pay attention to this so-called emperor envoy, so he ordered people to drive them out. As for where these people still want to go, it was not a matter of concern to the Qingzhou Army.

Afterwards, Liu Yu ordered the entire army to launch a final full-scale attack on Kaiyang City, which had been seriously damaged by the city wall.

It took only half a day for the Qingzhou Army to completely defeat the defenders in the city with its strong strength.

Under the consolation of Kong An, the leader who had just been incorporated, many county soldiers who were familiar with Kong An did not resist and gave up their weapons and surrendered.

Even when these poor county soldiers knew about the high rewards offered by the Qingzhou army, they all turned against each other and began to attack.

In Kaiyang City, the county magistrate's mansion.

At this time, the residence of the Langya County prefect was already the last stronghold of the defenders in the city, and the outside of the high walls had been occupied by the Qingzhou army that poured in.

Ge Rong, the chief secretary of Langya County, was originally a military officer of the prefect Peng Lan. After hearing that the Qingzhou army occupied Zhongqiu, Langya Prefect Peng Lan fled south alone to Yangzhou overnight.

As the Chief Secretary of Langya County, Ge Rong became the general of the defenders in the city. Although Ge Rong went out of the city to attack again, he also made up for the gap in the city wall and broke the rules of defending the city.

However, when the Qingzhou Army launched a full-strength attack, Ge Rong's army still had no strength to fight.

Less than half a day later, the entire Kaiyang City was completely lost. Ge Rong, who could no longer break out of the city, had to lead the remaining troops to retreat to the prefect's mansion and prepare to continue to resist.

Ge Rong thought that he was originally a commoner from Langya, and was appreciated by the prefect Peng Lan to be among the ministers in the county. Although Peng Lan escaped, Ge Rong did not want to be a timid and cowardly title.

Even if he died, he would be considered a reward for the kindness of the prefect Peng Lan’s support for many years.

However, with Ge Rong's determination to die, the soldiers of Langya County around him didn't want to die.

If Ge Rongping hadn't always been a very good person and had a high prestige among the county soldiers, and the Qingzhou army had never been rushing to attack, these county soldiers with weak combat power would have lasted for so long, otherwise they would have dispersed.

As the Qingzhou army shouted louder and louder outside the wall, everyone knew that if this continued, it would be a dead end. They didn't want to accompany Ge Rong to die.

Afterwards, the defenders took advantage of Ge Rong's unpreparedness and rushed forward to knock Ge Rong and his several of his followers to the ground, and immediately raised the flag of the Qingzhou army outside the wall.

"Stop shooting arrows, we surrender!"

"We have captured Ge Shenjun, and we are willing to surrender."

When Liu Yu learned that the last stubborn defender also gave up his resistance and chose to surrender, he immediately ordered people to find out which general of the Jin army guarding Kaiyang City was.

All of this is because Liu Yu felt that the war had developed a little beyond his expectations until now. He never expected that the county soldiers in Kaiyang City could resist for a long time after the city was broken.

This greatly refreshed Liu Yu's understanding of the soldiers of the Western Jin County.

Therefore, he wanted to see with his own eyes the commander of the Jin army responsible for defense.
