Chapter 154 Takeover
"What are the envoys from the Shu Army doing here? Didn't I already promise to send troops?" Han Xuan frowned. It was unexpected that the Shu Army suddenly sent someone again.
But think about it, the Shu army must have other requirements, such as asking him to send troops and food.
These are all agreeable, after all, when the main force of the Shu army arrives in Luoxian, it is the time for their death. It was just writing some bad checks, and Han Xuan didn't really care.
"Forget it, come with me and go out to meet the envoy. Acting requires a complete performance." Han Xuan shook his head, stood up and said.
Because he didn't care about the attitude of the Shu army, Han Xuan only took a few of his personal guards to the city gate. In his opinion, the best thing to do is to show your attitude and not make the Shu army suspicious.
When he arrived at the city gate, Han Xuan immediately bowed his hands to the leading envoy and said with a sincere expression.
"Xuanzhi didn't know that the envoy from the Han Dynasty was coming, but he was not welcomed at a distance! If you bow your head, you will be punished by death!"
"What are you talking about, Governor Han? There are not many ministers like you in Soochow who love the Han Dynasty!" The leading envoy smiled and said gently to Han Xuan.
"General Ma is very happy to hear that you are leading the army and uniting the big families to fight against Wu. The general said that when the Han Dynasty regains Jingnan, he will definitely declare you as the new Jingzhou Mu!"
"Chen Xuan is just a despicable person, An can be worthy of this position!" Han Xuan also showed his surprise, then quickly saluted and said to the envoy in fear.
"What's more, Xuan is a citizen of the Han Dynasty and has received great favor from the late emperor. Serving the imperial court is a matter of duty, so how can you dare to receive any reward!"
When it comes to acting, Han Xuan is no worse than You Chu back then. They are all veterans who have been involved in official circles all year round, and their acting skills are absolutely nothing to say.
If there is any important occasion, these people will shed tears much faster than Liu Bei.
Han Xuan's behavior made the envoy look very satisfied, but it also made the soldiers on the city see it. Since the heads of their own families have this attitude, there is no need for them to be so vigilant.
The private soldiers at the top of the city all lowered their guard and no longer kept a close eye on the approaching Shu army. Han Xuan, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic and strongly advocated inviting the envoys to sit at his house to discuss the anti-Wu plan.
Anyway, it's just nonsense, as long as you can deceive that incompetent person Ma Di.
Anyway, once the Shu army crossed the Xiangjiang River, they would completely fall into Ding Feng's encirclement. At that time, the Wu army in Jingnan will attack at the same time, surrounding Ma Di's troops in Changsha and killing them.
By then, there will be nothing wrong with Han Xuan, and he can just watch the show from the sidelines.
However, more than a dozen envoys followed Han Xuan into the city, but as soon as he entered the Han mansion, Han Xuan felt a knife on his neck!
The Han envoy suddenly turned against him, and Han Xuan's personal guards could not react at all. In just an instant, several personal guards were killed on the spot.
Han Xuan didn't expect that the envoy would take action, so he made no preparations at all. When he reacted, the gates of Han Mansion were controlled by Shu soldiers.
"What does this mean?" Han Xuan was shocked, but at this time he saw that the leading envoy had stepped aside, and a man wearing a soldier's uniform stood at the front.
"I thought it was very dangerous... I really look up to you."
"Ma Su? Why are you here?" Han Xuan's expression changed suddenly. He never expected that Ma Su would suddenly appear here.
Didn't it mean that Ma Su and his main force hadn't reached Xiangjiang yet? Why did he suddenly appear here?
"Of course I came to see our Governor Han and was ordered to take over the military power of Governor Han." Ma Di waved his hand and explained with a kind smile.
"I felt that the army was moving too slowly, so I came to take over Luo County first."
"So... please ask Governor Han to hand over the seal ribbon!"
Ma Di's words instantly made Han Xuan understand that he had been exposed. Not only that, Ma Su also came to Luo County in person, with the goal of seizing his military power!
In fact, it is not difficult to mobilize regular troops in this era. It only requires seals and military seals. Both of these things are in Han Xuan's own hands, so it is enough to hold Han Xuan hostage.
After all, the so-called army in this era is just that. Whether it is command or logistics, basically everything is concentrated on the coach.
Often when the head coach dies, the entire unit collapses completely.
Therefore, Ma Di's goal was very clear, and he immediately kidnapped Han Xuan himself as soon as he entered the city. As long as Han Xuan is controlled and the news is controlled, his troops can be mobilized in a short time.
Of course, it won't work for a long time. This group of people who are only loyal to Han Xuan will definitely mutiny. However, in Ma Su's view, just a short-term transfer is enough. A lot can be done in such a short time.
He was going to give Ding Feng a big surprise!
Han Xuan also thought about everything, and his face turned pale for a moment.
I'm such a fool. I knew that this was a trap set up by the other party, but I didn't even have any defense against the envoy. Catching yourself on the other side is even easier than killing a chicken!
It feels like you have set up layers of defense lines and built seven or eight fortresses on the enemy's way. As a result, the fleet on the opposite side jumped and appeared directly in the capital where you had no defense.
Han Xuan's sadness is probably like this...

A dozen of Ma Su's cavalrymen went straight to Luo County and kidnapped Han Xuan with thunderous means. Then he sent people holding Han Xuan's seal and ribbon to various parts of the city to mobilize Han Xuan's private soldiers from various ministries.
In order to show that he had already fallen in love with the Han Dynasty, Han Xuan let his private soldiers take over the city. At this moment, when most of the private soldiers believed that Han Xuan had indeed defected to Shu Han, there was no doubt about the transfer order.
As a result, Ma Di quickly took control of Luo County, and then sent his personal guards directly into the county government.
It is worth mentioning that Ding Feng sent someone to see Han Xuan. After Ma Su kidnapped Han Xuan, people sent by Ding Feng also encouraged some private soldiers to try to resist.
However, it was obvious that this was not enough in front of Ma Su. Before he even had time to take action, Ma Di personally led more than a hundred soldiers to deal with it.
Luo County, the bait set by Ding Feng was easily controlled by Ma Di.
While Ma Di was controlling Luo County, the Shu army that arrived at the Xiangjiang River suddenly turned around. They did not cross the Xiangjiang River to meet Han Xuan as Ding Feng expected, but turned around and went straight to the administrative center of Changsha County.
This unexpected incident made Ding Feng frown a little, but he was not nervous. When making plans, Ding Feng took this into consideration and wrote a letter to give in and march north.
"It seems that Ma Su's son is still quite capable. Han Xuan's false surrender did not fool him." Ding Feng shook his head gently, then turned to look at Mi Fang and smiled.
"Is this what General Mi calls a person in vain? In my opinion, he is quite knowledgeable, right?"
Mi Fang was sad, silent and did not respond to Ding Feng's words.
"It looks like I have to go out in person, go down the river, and bump into Ma Di'er." Ding Feng shook his head, and was too lazy to continue laughing at Mi Fang. He picked up the map and said softly.
"Send someone to inform Han Xuan that we have been exposed, and ask him to send troops to help Linxiang."
"Since Ma Su won't be fooled, we will defeat him openly in Linxiang!"
