"Are these 55,000 tribal warriors not as important as establishing a new country? How can they occupy important positions in the new country be reduced greatly? Convene peace with the Huolin Army? After the founding of the country, the north and the south will attack the Huolin Army? I am afraid we can't wait. By that time," Luogan said to himself.
Since the Huolin Army attacked Yingzhou Prefecture in the south, Luogan sent messengers to ask for help from the tribe, hoping that the tribe would send troops to Haizhou Prefecture to support them, or jointly attack the Huolin Army, or plunder the property and population, and withdraw from Weizhou Prefecture. But it was only now that the reply was given, and the result was 108,000 miles apart from the intervention of the Lu. If the tribe sent troops to Haizhou Prefecture when the Huolin Army attacked Yingzhou Prefecture, then how could it be completely possible to unite with the peace of Shunzhou Prefecture The chariot department attacked the Fire Lin Army. But now, there is basically no chance. The Fire Lin Army in the north is extremely powerful, while the Jizhou Prefecture in the south is threatened by 20,000 troops. The Pingzhou Prefecture in the west is not strong, but not That's so easy to fight, so what if you break into Pingzhou Prefecture?
"Come here, please come here!" Luogan said to the soldier outside the door.
Not long after, a man dressed in a scribe appeared in Luogan's room.
"I've seen Lord Du Shuai!"
"Brother Wen, this is a reply from the tribe. Take a look!" Luogan handed out the letter on the table expressionlessly.
The scribe took it and opened it and saw, "Kinship of the country, our Marines are about to build a country! Du Shuai, this is a good thing. According to the above meaning, our Liaodong Kingdom will be built according to the Yan Kingdom system, which is worth celebrating. , This is brought back by Du Shuai from the tribe's messenger, what did the patriarch say?" the clerk said excitedly.
"Brother Wen, continue to look down!" Lugan said lightly.
When the scholar saw that Du Shuai had no joy on his face, he knew that the following content must be unusual, so he looked down. Sure enough, the more the scholar looked, the worse his face became. After reading it, his face turned gloomy.
"How could this happen? We abandoned us? There are 55,000 tribal warriors here. If you want to gain a position in the Xin Kingdom, it is very different if there are more than 50,000 people. Don't the patriarch know? With these more than 50,000 people, we can occupy more power in the new country? Don’t talk about the Han slaves and property that we brought back then.” The scribe said excitedly.
Logan said lightly: "Brother Wen, some people in the tribe don't want us to go back."
The scribe said angrily: "Do you ignore the names of these more than 50,000 warriors? How could the patriarch agree?"
Luogan sneered: "Saving us may have to face the Huolin Army. As some people advocated it, they naturally gave up the idea of sending troops. By the way, after the establishment of the new country, it seemed that the four tribes took turns to kings. So, whether there are more than 50,000 of us will not affect the great cause of the patriarch.”
"Hmph... Take turns to King Zhi? Only with strength can you take turns to King Zhi. If you don't have strength, how can you be king? A short-sighted person."
"Okay, it's useless to say this now. Our north and south are Li Muzhi's army and Huolin army. You send someone to envoy each to see if you can spend some money and cut off their idea of making us up. After all, My 50,000 army is not easy to greet. If I force me to a hurry, I will see if they can ignore the hundreds of thousands of Han people's siege?" said Ludian ruthlessly.
The scholar sighed and said, "Li Muzhi is the son of Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou. He did not stop our army from invading in the past. He has been deeply criticized by the people and officials of Yan State. He will never accept us. Li Muzhi's 20,000 troops have been When inspecting the northern end of Jizhou Prefecture, we might be gulping us in a while to cleanse the stigma on them.”
Luogandao: "It is precisely because we have evidence of Li Huaiyuan's retreat in our hands that Li Muzhi patrolled the border and did not forcibly attack us, but we must be careful. In fact, what I am most worried about is the Huolin Army, they have no scruples, and even Even the Yan State court did not take it seriously... Let's see what they wanted. As long as we don't attack us, we can even give up Weizhou Prefecture."
"What? How can this be made? Where can we settle down from Weizhou Prefecture?"
Luogan sneered: "The premise is that they agree to our withdrawal and tell Zhao Xun of the Huolin Army that we can also lead them to where he wants to go. Since the patriarch gave up on us, I don't want to sacrifice for him for no reason. Own."
When the scholar heard this, his heart moved and said in a trembling voice: "Du Shuai, do you want to surrender to the Huolin Army?"
Luogan's face highlighted his struggle and finally said, "It's not that he surrendered to the Huolin Army, but that he wanted to bring these people back intact and make some of the tribe's plans miscalculate."
"I'm afraid the Huo Lin Army will not agree." The scribe shook his head and said.
Luogan sneered: "If Zhao Xun is a hero and has great ambitions, he will agree. We can give him an excuse to annex the territory. Is there anything he can't agree?"
The scribe now understood that what Luogan said before, the place where the Huo Lin Army wanted to go was originally an excuse for the Huo Lin Army to capture the land.
Youzhou City, the Governor's Office.
After half a month of marching, Li Xinyan, who had been a year-old family, returned home again. It was naturally another comedy of reunion of relatives. Li Huaiyuan scolded Li Xinyan and ran around, so he asked his wife to take him to the back house. Let's talk about the past year. More than a hundred guards sent by Zhao Xun who escorted Li Xinyan were also arranged in the Governor's Mansion. At this moment, Li Huaiyuan was smiling and staring at the young man in front of him.
"Si Tu Liang, subordinate of the Huolin Army, has met the governor!" The young man said seriously after bowing to Li Huaiyuan.
Li Huaiyuan smiled and said, "The Huolin Army Chief? It's strange, who gave him an official position? It seems that there is no unified position in Yan State yet."
Situ Liang smiled and said, "Without having or not, this is not the point. What is important is that our Huolin Army defeats foreign enemies and regains territory. This is an indisputable fact and an unforgettable achievement. I think if the court did not want to do this. A strong army with capable and prestigiousness is like Xuzhou and Liangzhou. The official position of my family will rise higher and higher."
Li Huaiyuan's face paused. Situ Liang was clearly talking about losing his territory.
"Can you discuss matters with me on behalf of Zhao Xunquan?"
Situ Liang said: "I am not talented, so I am grateful to my family. I have my full authority to discuss this matter. However, I think the governor will handle family matters today, and there will be inconvenience in discussing matters. I am always waiting for the governor to interrogate him."
Li Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, you have been here for a long distance and are tired. Let's discuss it after I handle the family matters. Please ask the distinguished guest to go to Tianxiang Pavilion to rest."
"I am so arrogant!" Li Muyuan looked at the distant back and said in a deep voice.
Li Huaiyuan sighed and said, "That's because there is a Huolin Army behind him! The Huolin Army has been making a lot of noise recently. Now not only Youzhou is famous, but it is probably a sensation in Chang'an City."
"Father, have you decided? Can this Huolin Army really protect our Li family?" Li Muyuan said in a deep voice.
Li Huaiyuan's tall figure was a little lonely and said, "That depends on how big Zhao Xun is. Besides, who else can trust us besides Zhao Xun? Cao Xiong has been waiting for me to fall.
Then, let’s go and ask your sister. He knows the most about Huo Linjun. We should be able to get some things from him. Besides, did Situ Liang mean the same thing just now?"
Yanzhou City.
"What do you think of this Martial Army?" Zhao Xun asked.
In front of Zhao Xun were the four men who were counseling military affairs, including Lu Ziliang, Yang Wangqing, Liu Wenqi and Zhang Yuanjing. The reason why Zhao Xun brought them together was because the Marini army in Weizhou Prefecture sent a messenger.
I didn't want to see it at first, but I wanted to see what the Marine Army wanted to do, so I saw the Marine Army's envoy at will. But the result surprised Zhao Xun. The Marine Army wanted to leave Weizhou Prefecture and could even make Zhao
Xun did some things, but asked Zhao Xun to let him return to the tribe. Zhao Xun originally intended to launch an attack early next month to attack the Marai army in Weizhou Prefecture and seize the Weizhou Prefecture as quickly as possible, so that the Youzhou government or the court had not responded yet
Come here and create established facts.
Yang Wangqing said: "It seems that the Mariner army in Weizhou Prefecture knew that they were not the enemy of our Huolin Army and wanted to withdraw safely. They also gave up Weizhou Prefecture."
Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "What we cannot refuse is that they are willing to kill Pingzhou Prefecture, and then turn east to Haizhou Prefecture and go north from Haizhou Prefecture. Not to mention Pingzhou Prefecture, just about Haizhou Prefecture,
It is the gateway to our east, which connects Haikou, and many merchants from north to south travel from here. More importantly, if we take this place, we will have a foreign seakou. Not to mention commerce, we will have a water for cultivating ourselves.
The military's ability."
Zhang Yuanjing also nodded and said, "Actually, I agree to let them retreat from the east, Pingzhou Prefecture and Haizhou Prefecture are best to take it down. Especially Haizhou Prefecture, because of the prosperity of our commerce here, the Haizhou Prefecture government is willing to take it off.
Merchants. Many businessmen have already reported to us, hoping that we can communicate with Haizhou Prefecture and allow it to collect taxes reasonably. But the Haizhou Prefecture government obviously did not take us seriously and completely ignored our kindness. Since
In this way, it is appropriate to take it down."
Liu Wenqi frowned and said, "I also agree to take down these two palaces, but we must be prepared for the court to criticize them. Even if we pursue the Marine Army, occupying the two palaces again means being incompatible with the court."
If this Marc army tells us what we are working with, then it will be..."
Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "I am not afraid of speaking out. It is an ironic fact that we have killed so many Marine soldiers. No matter what we do now in the Three Prefectures, which one is in line with the laws of the court?
In fact, it is already in opposition to the court."
"Yes, but I think the court should not have time to deal with us. The rebellion of Xuzhou and the rebellion of Liangzhou are enough to be busy with the court. Especially the rebellion of Liangzhou, if it is not good, Kyoto will be in danger of being attacked.
Now that the court has no energy to do anything about us, why not occupy the two palaces and manage them properly?" Yang Wangqing said.
Lu Ziliang interrogated: "I think what Brother Yang said is reasonable. Take the two palaces earlier and turn them into your own use. Now, not only us, but also the governors and generals from all over the State of Yan are rapidly expanding their power. It is estimated that
I also saw the weakness of the imperial court. Especially Cao Xiong, the general of Zhenbei, who was at the intersection of Bingzhou in the western part of Youzhou, has been very popular recently. I think this Cao Xiong is also a person who has bad intentions."
"Besides, the court has any criticism? The stronger the people, the less afraid of the court's criticism, and the court does not dare to blame the strongest people. Only those who are neither up nor down will be the target of the court."
After hearing the four people's words, Zhao Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You guys. This is clearly an encouragement to be the one who has bad intentions."
Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "How big is the adult heart? You understand yourself. We dare not encourage adults to be those who have bad intentions. Besides, in the eyes of some people, what they do in these three palaces do, is not
Is it just a person with bad intentions?”
Zhao Xun said seriously: "I can agree with their request, but I also have to tell them that if you want to go back smoothly, you must do what we said. You cannot massacre innocent people and do not wantonly destroy them!"
Liu Wenqi nodded and said, "We also need to let them solve some troubles for us so that we can better take over these places."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "You said it well, and they really need to solve some troubles for us. We can't just bear the infamy this time. Let these militars take action, and the wealth will be with us. Well, this matter must be with us."
You are responsible, and we will negotiate the conditions first, and then talk about the others."
"Abide by the order!"
Looking at the three people leaving, Zhao Xun smiled bitterly. It seems that things have changed again. How should Li Muzhi solve it? Once the Marine army retreats eastward, Li Muzhi's problem will be another big trouble...
