"Someone supports behind you? Isn't this a good thing? Someone supports it, which means that Shunzhou cannot be lost. There are still many people with patriotism. You should make reasonable use of these resources to defeat the Marine Army instead of fighting endlessly." Zhao
Inquiry said casually.
Zhao Xun had no good feelings for these leaders of forces who were facing strong enemies and still had internal struggles. If he was sure to destroy the other two rebels in one fell swoop, take them for himself and strengthen himself, that would be fine. But he only knew internal friction, but
Regardless of the current situation, Zhao Xun was really not in the mood to play with them.
Seeing Zhao Xun's dissatisfied expression, Su Ziyan also understood what many parties were thinking and said in a deep voice: "Behind them are the Khitans and the Youzhou Governor who are secretly supporting them."
Khitan? The Khitan in the Great Yan Kingdom was not strong and far from what I remember. During the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom established by the Khitans, which defeated the Northern Song Dynasty and signed the "Chanyuan Alliance".
The Khitan surrendered to the Great Yan Kingdom like in the early Tang Dynasty.
"Didn't the Khitan depend on my Dayan Kingdom? Wouldn't it be better to have their support? As for the governor of Youzhou, that would be better. Is there any problem? Why not cooperate? Defeat the Marai people first and discuss other things,
Do you think you can resist the army of Yan? No matter who wins or loses, you will still obey the jurisdiction of the court in the future."
Su Ziyan chuckled and said, "Is that so? Then Lord Zhao is going to deal with your relationship with the court? I believe Lord Zhao already knows that your affairs have been spread to the capital Chang'an. He privately seized Lord Duwei and formed a private army.
, You are quite brave. If the war in Xuzhou was not entangled, I would have been dealing with you long ago."
Zhao Xun smiled indifferently and said indifferently: "The court ordered me to obey myself. Besides, I had to arrest the captain. All the officials from Yanzhou Prefecture can testify for me. Moreover, Sima Yun also
If you don’t die, you will be handed over to the court in the future.”
Su Ziyan pursed her lips and said, "Why do you have to say everything in front of me? What do you think is, others don't know, but you will never be like you said, otherwise you will not be repeated.
The new order was issued to bribe the people of Yanzhou Prefecture."
"Let's talk about my business, you almost got mixed up again. The three armies in Shunzhou, Zhang Lei's Black Snake Army has more than 15,000 supporters are Khitans; Bao Shuyang's Qingyang Army is
Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, secretly supported him, with nearly 20,000 subordinates and fully equipped soldiers, which is the strongest; while the Woshunzhou army has only more than 13,000 people, but they are all from the government army and have the best discipline.
It is considered medium, but our Shunzhou army has the greatest strength to resist the Marine army."
"The Black Snake Army is active in the northern part of Shunzhou, the Qingyang Army is active in the southern part of our Shunzhou Army, and our Shunzhou Army is active in the eastern part of the army. In addition to going to war with the Marine Army, it sometimes has to fight with the other two armies, which is really not a good deal.
I just came here to contact you and asked for support."
"Wait! You said that when you fight with the Marine army again, you still have to fight each other?" Zhao Xun was a little unacceptable. He thought it was just dissatisfied with each other and could not cooperate, but he didn't expect it to open it.
Su Ziyan sneered: "Mr. Zhao only knows one thing but not the other. It is true that the Khitans surrender to the Dayan Kingdom, but the Khitans are divided into Daji, Hebian, Duhuo, Fenwen, Tubian, Ruixi, and Jiujin.
, Fu Ba tribes. Among them were tribute, officialdom and trade, as well as war and plunder. However, the tribe behind the Green Snake Army was Tubo tribe, a tribe that was dissatisfied with Yan State. It had never surrendered to Yan State and often went to various border areas.
Wanderingly plundered.”
"Now, seeing the chaos in Shunzhou, I want to get benefits from it, but I don't want to be head-on with Yan State, so I support the Qingshe Army to serve myself. At the big point, it conquers the city and plunders the population and property, and often moves around the country.
It's really abominable, and for this, we have fought a lot with it."
"With the Qingser Army supported by the Tubo Department, although the military discipline is corrupt, they have a quick speed, which makes us helpless. Even the Marine Army dare not easily provoke this team that is coming and going like the wind. So when fighting with it,
Most of us are at a disadvantage, and with the attack from the Marine Army, the situation is getting worse and worse."
Khitans! Zhao Xun knew about the Khitans. Once there was a chance and a strong leader, the Khitans could become another powerful nomadic tribe in the north, and even the big ones in memory.
Liao. However, the Khitan is surrounded by powerful tribal ethnic groups on all sides, with Shiwei people in the north, the most powerful Turkic people in the north, and the Dayan Kingdom of the Central Plains dynasty to the south. Therefore, it has not developed.
"What about Qingyang Army? Since he has the support of the Youzhou Governor behind him, he should work with you. Anyway, your Shunzhou Army is also an army under the Youzhou Governor. It is understandable to obey orders."
Su Ziyan immediately said angrily: "It was the case, but now no one can listen to him."
"Oh? Why? Governor Li Huaiyuan has a grudge against you, Li Yu?"
Su Ziyan breathed a deep breath and looked at Zhao Xun and said, "The Marine Army went south and the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think no one may pay attention to it? Is this possible?"
Zhao Xun paused and said for a while: "It's impossible!"
Su Ziyan sneered: "Yes, more than 100,000 troops came down from the north, but the four palaces did not get any information, and there was no reaction. In the evening, all the four palaces fell.
The heavy-armed governor stayed in place and remained silent. Do you think this makes sense?"
Zhao Xun didn't say anything.
"Even if there is no military order, no army can be mobilized, don't forget that it is the invasion of the Marine army and we are defending the territory. Is it because there is no military order that the Marine army will be allowed to enter Chang'an City?" Su Ziyan said angrily.
Zhao Xun was silent. In fact, he also understood that in this series of events, Youzhou Governor Li Huaiyuan definitely participated in it. Su Ziyan was right. He was not allowed to fight without military orders, and that was not allowed to attack enemies outside the country. But now
The army has already entered Yan State, how can we remain indifferent? It’s just that Li Xinyan helped him once in the past, and he cannot be ruthless and repaid kindness with grudges and hatred. From then on, he has put it in his heart and will not think about it.
Seeing Zhao Xun's appearance, Su Ziyan also knew that Zhao Xun understood what he meant and continued: "It would be fine if it was just like this, but we learned from the Qingyang Army that the governor of Youzhou Li Huaiyuan was still
Having a deal with the Marine Army and even assisting the Marine Army in ruling the territory, do you say, can we obey him?"
After a while, Zhao Xun said, "I know what you mean, Li Huaiyuan can't believe it. You are fighting alone now and are attacked from all sides. I want to support you, but you have also seen it. I want to send troops to open up the passage, let alone
I said that I was facing threats to the north and south, and I was powerless.”
This is not a lie. Zhao Xun's current goals and energy are focused on Yingzhou Prefecture, and he really has no time to take care of it. Besides, what benefits can he have to support Shunzhou Prefecture? Is Zhao Xun's faultless thing?
Can do it.
Su Ziyan said: "As long as you agree! We..."
"Wait... I didn't say I agreed! I must solve my threat first now. I will not be able to provide you with effective assistance in the short term, so..."
Su Ziyan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We can still hold on for a while. By the way, I will stay here for the time being and wait for your news. There is no problem."
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said, "It's up to you!" Then he arranged for him to stay. He originally planned to arrange his room in the Duwei Mansion, but Su Ziyan said that he was too lonely outside and wanted to stay in the Zhao Mansion for a little fun. Zhao Xun thought for a while.
There was no secret in the mansion, so he placed it in the guest room. Of course, the inner guards still monitored it tightly. As for the sick sword and long bow, they were kept in Zhao Xun's hands for the time being.
After Su Ziyan left, Zhao Xun's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Come here, let Sima Yan, the commander of the inner guard, Zhao Zhang, the steward of the inner guard, and Wang Yang, the steward of the outer guard, come to see me immediately."
Few outsiders know about Li Xinyan except for the mansion, but a person who has just come to Yanzhou City can know that our mansion is going to rectify it.
Then, Zhao Xun called into the house. After a while, the three of them left the house with a gloomy face. Immediately after, within three days, half of the servants and maids from Zhao's mansion disappeared and replaced by newcomers.
"It seems that this guy has figured it out and he reacts so quickly..." After entering the guest room, not long after, Su Ziyan, who was busy with green inner guards, said silently to himself.
