Chapter 69: The momentum of Yangzhou

Jingzhou City is now full of vitality. Wang Menglong is king in Jingzhou. From then on, he will no longer be a general. Whether it is Zhang Yu, Xu Jiang, Song Yi, Xu Yang, etc., they will be called the king. The title of general is gone forever.

"You said that the general is now king, is it good or bad for us?" It was three days after Xu Jiang received the letter in Yangzhou. He said that he is now the General of the East and is responsible for half of the military affairs of Jingzhou. Such an important task was placed in front of Xu Jiang. Xu Jiang was very satisfied. He meant that he was like this. Doing so now is considered to be Wang Menglong still remembers himself and can still reuse himself.

Xu Jiang was sitting under his tent. Yang Sui was thinking. Only Yang Sui was a little impatient with these things. It was of course a good thing that Wang Menglong could be the king, but what kind of status was Zhang Yu in it? What kind of position was Zhang Yu in Wang Menglong's eyes? These things were the most important in Yang Sui's heart. If Zhang Yu took this opportunity to take over the power in Jingzhou, then what would these people who came out to fight become? The more Yang Sui thought about it, the more wrong it was, and he quickly spoke.

"I said, General, it's not the time to be happy. We don't know what Zhang Yu's purpose is. We are pushing the general to be the King of Jingzhou, but if all these things are held in our hands by Zhang Yu, what are we?" Yang Sui looked at Xu Jiang, her eyes kept hinting that Xu Jiang would pursue this matter.

When Xu Jiangang heard these words, he didn't take them seriously. After all, as long as he had military power and food and drink, what were these things?

"I said to Military Advisor Yang Sui. You and Xu Guang were both important figures in my camp back then. Later, General Xu Guang died in Xinye. Zhang Yu came out at that time. This person was a little sharp and didn't seem to be a good-looking person. If the military advisor wanted to attack him, I think I'd better wait!" Xu Jiang said, with a little regret for Xu Guang at the beginning, and then he became the satisfaction of becoming the General of the East.

Yang Sui looked at Xu Jiang's satisfied look, and could understand Xu Jiang's willingness to say this. Now that he can give Xu Jiang an official position, Wang Menglong is a pedestrian. Xu Jiang is an easy person to satisfy. Either no one is against him or gets benefits.

"General Xu Jiang, I think we can't be careless. After all, we are all under the command of the king. If we really occupy the entire land of Yu Country one day, the king will be the emperor at that time. We must think carefully about the matters around the emperor. We cannot explain it clearly in just a few words!" Yang Sui said. From the beginning to the end, Yang Sui reminded Xu Jiang to beware of Zhang Yu, and then to watch Wang Menglong's movements all the time.

Xu Jiang thought in his mind that he had military power. For Xu Jiang now, he was just a general who came out with Wang Menglong. If he didn't keep his consistency with Wang Menglong, he would be very likely to be excluded. Xu Jiang is not without an opponent. In fact, in the true sense, Xu Yang is his opponent. Zhang Yu is just a civil servant with some ideas. This is not a great hatred for Xu Jiang. As long as Xu Jiang is really annoyed, he can kill him at any time. But Xu Yang is different. Xu Yang is the second-ranked figure in the army and has an existence like himself. If there is no such guy Xu Yang, then everything will be finished.

The summer in Fuchun is quite cool. In recent days, some light rain has fallen. Xu Jiang has been studying military affairs every day. He is exhausted. Sitting with Yang Sui and drinking is a rare pastime.

"Is there any news?" Yang Sui continued to ask. The letter was in Xu Jiang's hands. Because Xu Jiang heard the news of his title, he now took the letter into his hands, looking at it page by page, wanting to see more things that are useful to him.

"Then our Jingzhou Prefecture is in Jiangling!" Xu Jiang said, and then handed the letter to Yang Sui impatiently. In fact, what Xu Jiang wanted to see was his own news. Anything other than his own news was not important to Xu Jiang.

Yang Sui took the things that Xu Jiang handed over, and then continued to look at: "'From today on the front line of supervision, Xiangyang will take Nanjun Jiangling as the capital of our Jingzhou Prefecture. Jingzhou is divided into Nanyang County, Jiangxia County, Nanjun, Changsha County, Wuling County, Lingling County, Guiyang County! Each county has a county magistrate in charge of people's livelihood and personnel, and a military commander in charge of military affairs. Nanyang District Xinye, Jiangxia District Xiling, Nanjun District Jiangling, Changsha District Linxiang, Wuling District Linyuan, Lingling District Quanling, and Guiyang District Chen County. All the county magistrates are responsible for the county magistrates and are in charge of military affairs. The rest of the counties will remain unchanged.' These are what Zhang Yu said."

Yang Sui finished reading a sentence, then looked at Xu Jiang behind her, her face full of calmness, but there was some uneasiness. Now it was these things that made Yang Sui a little worried about the future of Jingzhou and the entire Imperial Jing Army.

"These things are not big things. What I am worried about now is what will Deng Hui do if he withdraws his troops? Cui Wenhua is dead now. This is the credit of Yang Chuang and the others in the battle of Xiangyang. If we say again, when will Deng Hui return? And is Yan Jiuzhang planning to continue the attack?" Xu Jiang frowned and said.

What Yang Sui didn't expect was the general who, whom he didn't think about, was now considering the battle between the two armies.

Yang Sui smiled. The oil lamps around her had been reduced a lot. Yang Sui added some oil to the oil lamp, and then looked at Xu Jiang. The two of them began to discuss the trend of Yangzhou under the dim wait!

"General, putting aside the situation in Jingzhou we know now, I think the reinforcements given to us by the king should be coming soon." Yang Sui said.

"Now, in Danyang County, Yi County, She County, Jing County, Lingyang and other places, these are all places with steep mountains, and these places are particularly famous for their mountain landscapes. With the news I know from the hands of the Danyang County Magistrate, the people of these counties have long been dissatisfied with the country's heavy taxes. It is better for us to take the opportunity to send troops to lobby, saying that we are going to fight, and the army that is greater than that. We don't want money, we just need some people and food, so that those who are ambitious, Ali, can join us. In this way, we can grow stronger in Yangzhou. We don't always have to take care of us. This is our army!"

Yang Sui's thoughts made Xu Jiang a little worried. After all, the recruitment matters must be agreed with the Military Information Department. If there is any problem with the record, Wang Menglong will know what he sees every day, and he may be punished by then.

"I know the general is worried about these things, but we can't do nothing here, right? Someone is in Xiangyang, and now I have changed everything. Even our provincial government has moved to Jiangling. When will we decide these things? Although the general has objected to what we say, we can reply to the general, but will the general or the king want to see these reply?" Yang Sui showed off her as if she knew something about the matter.

Xu Jiang was a little shaky person. With Yang Sui's repeated advocacy, his heart was indeed a little shaky. He had to think about the matter about Yangzhou. Not to mention other things, how to gain a foothold in Yangzhou is still a question.

Xu Jiang coughed so that he could continue to cheer up. The tent was surrounded by Xu Jiang's army. Every time Xu Jiang and Yang Sui were alone, people would defend strictly. If Yan Jiuzhang knew something about it, he would not know how he would handle himself in Yangzhou.

"General, I have one more thing to say!" Yang Sui continued.

Xu Jiang is fine now, and Yang Sui just finished talking at once.

"General, look!" Yang Sui pointed to the military map on the side. This was a partial map of Danyang County, Yang Sui, which had been perfected for more than half a month. Many details were added by Yang Sui little by little. "Although Wu County is the prefecture and county governor, it has long been an empty shell. Yan Jiuzhang is Fuchun County, which is where we are. We must let Yan Jiuzhang agree regardless of any action, but we cannot let Yan Jiuzhang know what we are doing. In this way, we have to do more things. This is a difficult problem!" Yang Sui said, with a breath of control over Yangzhou in his eyebrows and eyes. Xu Jiang looked at Yang Sui and always felt that this person had something in his head that he could not understand at all, but it was these things that made Xu Jiang feel that Yang Sui was his true intimate.

When the news of Deng Hui reached Yan Jiuzhang's ears, Yan Jiuzhang was holding his three wives and talking to each other.

He An walked in directly, regardless of whether Yan Jiuzhang was busy now.

"Sir, the villain tells you something!" He An said, standing respectfully at the door and bowing. The three wives in Yan Jiuzhang's arms are now half-exposed, which is very inconvenient. There is always a bit bad if there is someone standing at the door.

"I said, Military Advisor He An, go there first, I'll come here right away!" Yan Jiuzhang was sloppy.

"Okay!" He An stood aside.

Yan Jiuzhang reluctantly let his wives go down one after another, put on his opinion coat and moved into the hall.

Yan Jiuzhang put on a very serious face: "I said military advisor, I am the magistrate of this side. Now you don't go in and out of my mansion at will. If there is any news, the military advisor can make a decision on his own. Unless there is really something important, otherwise, I will also bother the military advisor to go there." Yan Jiuzhang said, it was good to sue just now, but now it looks like a dying person.

To be more precise, Yan Jiuzhang's face was like white bark. Although war continued, Yan Jiuzhang was inevitably a little lacking in energy when playing with his wives day and night. Now He An came to wake up Yan Jiuzhang. If he didn't wake up, he might not be able to wake up.

"I said, sir, if this lady wants to accompany her every day, I think sir can't refuse it, but sir must restrain herself. If there are any shortcomings, what kind of versions of Yangzhou will be like?" He An looked very upset. Yangzhou is not Yangzhou alone, nor Yangzhou for two people.

Yan Jiuzhang didn't speak, only breathing, this was the best response to He An now. It disturbed him. Yan Jiuzhang was full of anger. He An was still a little fearless and came to him unscrupulously, just like returning to his home and interfering in his own private affairs. These were things that Yan Jiuzhang could not tolerate. As he thought about it, Yan Jiuzhang actually had some strength, and his anger made his face slowly rosy. This was the result of the rapid flow of blood.

He An is also a person who pays attention to observation. Seeing these subtle changes on Yan Jiuzhang's face, he was also a reaction.

Yan Jiuzhang stretched out his right hand. Because he had not had any wind and rain for a long time, he actually showed that his age was inconsistent with Yan Jiuzhang. Perhaps it was caused by some soft objects that were touched every day, so He An couldn't continue to guess these things.

"You, come to me, you must be moderate, and you must know that you are a military advisor!" Yan Jiuzhang said word by word, his voice hoarse, trying hard to make his voice sound, giving people a feeling of powerlessness, and a domineering attitude that is more silent than sound here.

"It's Weichen who was wrong!" He An said nothing and knelt down in front of Yan Jiuzhang. Even Yan Jiuzhang himself didn't understand what was going on. If he was wrong, He An wouldn't have to kneel with him. If he said that He An was wrong, then there was no need to kneel with him. Yan Jiuzhang was in trouble and didn't know what He An was thinking.

"I said to Military Advisor He An, just say whatever you have. You don't have to be so restrained with me!" Yan Jiuzhang said. For Yan Jiuzhang, He An is really an indispensable role. Maybe his wife can be left, but He An cannot be gone.

"Sir, I just hope that sir can care more about military affairs, and the people's livelihood and internal situation in Yangzhou. Now Xu Jiang is in our ears. After all, Xu Jiang is a rebel. If we covet the land of Yangzhou, what should we do? We must leave some benefits to ourselves. If Xu Jiang really leads troops to revolt, we will be destroyed the fastest!" He An said.

Yan Jiuzhang is a sense of crisis. He An’s statement about the problem is so serious that it can only explain the seriousness of this matter.

Yan Jiuzhang's hands began to become rosy, not as white as before.

"Xu Jiang is a brainless person, but Yang Sui is not a fuel-efficient person. I see that during the Battle of Xinye before, Yang Sui and Xu Guang were both Xu Jiang's followers, but Xu Guang was more conceited than Yang Sui. Zhang Yu is a brainy person. Xu Guang's death is due to his conceit, but it may also be Zhang Yu's intention. Zhang Yu may have taken this opportunity to get rid of Xu Guang and rise to the top. Before, he only had the ability to govern people's livelihood, so it was Wang Menglong's heavy use. Now it seems that there are more things and some ability to fight. The Xiangyang War is capable of beating drums as orders, and it is time to exert it again and again. This matter is something that can be done by people with a steady heart and a sinister heart. This person must be a wolf!" He An said.

Yan Jiuzhang was a little interested when he heard this. How to talk about the wolf? Isn’t it about the situation in Yangzhou? Yan Jiuzhang was about to ask, but He An spoke again.

"The Zhang Yu I mentioned earlier is a key figure. This person has only been in the Yujing Army for half a year, and has done these things frequently and helped Wang Menglong become the King of Jingzhou. It can be said that this person is not simple. If it were not for the son of a powerful family in Jingzhou, or a person from the court, who could think of occupying the salt mine to attack my Yangzhou, it can only be said that this person is deeply in mind. On the first hand, it can divert his attention from the Yujing Army, and on the other hand, it can allow himself to come out of multiple exclusions. Such a thorough consideration is something that ordinary people dare not imagine!" He An said.

He An's eyes rolled quickly, and the information about Zhang Yu even opened his mouth. I don't know where these things came from. Yan Jiuzhang was very curious.

"Military advisor, aren't we talking about Xu Jiang and Yu Jing's army? Why did it get involved with this person?" Yan Jiuzhang looked at He An in confusion, looking a little stupid.

"The Yu Jing army we want to see clearly Zhang Yu. In fact, from Yang Sui's body and words, I can see that Yang Sui's thorn in her eyes is this Zhang Yu!" He An said confidently.

"Then why is Zhang Yu still the deputy governor of the Military Intelligence Department? You must know that the Military Intelligence Department was also promoted by Zhang Yu. Xu Jiang had said these things before. If Wang Menglong had no trust in Zhang Yu at all, he would not have let Zhang Yu get up!" Yan Jiuzhang asked back, and he couldn't understand too many things here.

"Actually, it's easy to say about Zhang Yu. The governor of the Military Intelligence Department is Song Yi and the governor is Yang Sui. It can only be explained that these two people are here to consolidate Wang Menglong's status. Wang Menglong doesn't want a person with great ambitions in his closest institution." He An said, saying that it was word by word, with reasonable and well-founded news that Yan Jiuzhang had to believe it. Yan Jiuzhang himself became more interested in these things.

"We must be more careful about Zhang Yu when he said this, but this person is not in the territory of Yangzhou? How can we say it well?" Yan Jiuzhang looked at He An, and his suspicion about Zhang Yu gradually became stronger.

"What are the plans?" Yan Jiuzhang leaned forward unconsciously.

He An also moved forward a little: "At the same time as the Xujiang coalition, we must conduct thorough supervision and inspection of the counties and counties in Yangzhou, so as not to secretly make trouble on the territory of Yangzhou. Wang Menglong was the king, and he was originally fighting against the court. Since he was the king, why didn't the war stop?" He An looked at Yan Jiuzhang, and the little thoughts in it were naturally self-evident.

Yan Jiuzhang was amazed at He An's ideas, and even more contemptuous of his own ignorance.
