In addition to Zhao Xun, there were several military advisers in the room, including Zhao Hai, director of the Shadow Department, Dai Yi, director of the Supervision Department, Ye Chaoge, director of the Security Department, and Sima Qiming, director of the Eagle Eye Department.
"It seems that the Mohe army is also anxious and has sent thousands of horses as gifts... How should you reply? How can we not make them suspicious." Zhao Xun said while holding the message sent back by Wang Hao in his hand.
Situ Liang said: "Well, let's tell Luo Gan that Zuo Longxiang Guards does not have siege equipment. We need to provide siege equipment. When the time comes, we will delay their time. Anyway, among the three counties and eight cities, We have arranged a lot of people, and we will cooperate with the outside when the time comes. Besides, didn't every city dig tunnels secretly before the Mohe army settled in? There is nothing to worry about."
The other people also nodded and agreed with Situ Liang's opinion.
"By the way, I also need to tell Luo Gan that he must not forget the gift of thousands of horses." Lu Ziliang said with a smile.
"Well, this way, Luo Gan will trust us more." Zhao Xun laughed.
"Zhang Yuanjing, how are your discussions with the Khitan's Daji, Hebian, and Duhuo tribes? How did they respond?"
Zhang Yuanjing said: "The three tribes agreed to our proposal. The three tribes sent 30,000 troops to intimidate the Yunzhou government in exchange for our weapons."
"Very good, this time, Yuan Jing has made another great contribution!" Zhao Xun said with great joy. He increasingly discovered that Zhang Yuanjing is a very good diplomat, with a eloquent mouth, very powerful.
"These nearly 30,000 Mohe troops were originally going to starve to death at the southern end of Haizhou Mansion, but we finally decided to keep this move. It seems that they are still useful. Sima Qiming, you, Eagle Eye Division, and Shadow this time With the cooperation of the Secretary, the Mohe army in these three counties and eight cities must be left behind and annihilated. Ten thousand horses will be given to each other. If we kill the twenty-eight thousand Mohe army, won’t we have ten thousand horses?"
"I understand!" Sima Qiming said seriously.
"Dai Yi, Director of the Inspection Department, and Ye Chaoge, Director of the Security Department, once our army moves, your two departments will expand rapidly. We must make our rule clean and free of dirt."
"I understand!" they both replied in unison.
"This time, except for the Youfu Army and the Zhongfu Army, all the infantry troops from the other three prefectures were dispatched. Shuizi Camp, Zhongzi Camp, and Guzi Camp stayed at their posts, while Gangzi Camp and Xinzi Camp stayed behind. Yanzhou Prefecture will be used as a mobile force. The fifth battalion of the Mohe Cavalry and the remaining three cavalry battalions will all be dispatched. The Guards will also be dispatched. At that time, three groups will be dispatched, from Shunzhou Prefecture, Weizhou Prefecture, and Pingzhou Prefecture. The state capitals all come out." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"Then it depends on the imperial court and Li Huaiyuan. To be honest, this matter..."
Li Huaiyuan mobilized Zuo Longxiang's guards out of Jizhou Prefecture and after entering Weizhou Prefecture, Li Muzhi also transferred them to Hengzhou Prefecture in the far west. Soon after, General Cao Gang of Zhenbei also slowly mobilized his army. Immediately afterwards , the troops of the Xiaoguo Army also began to gather and move.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in Youzhou. Although no one understood what was going on, the mobilization of the army also made everyone in Youzhou fearful. It is better to be a peace dog than to cause chaos and leave people. No one wants to fight in Youzhou. The Xuzhou War and the Liangzhou War have caused misery to the people all over the world. Has it reached Youzhou again?
Before the big tent broke out, Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, summoned all the captains and military envoys from all the Youzhou prefectures to Youzhou City, seemingly to discuss important matters.
Some people may have known something and did not intend to obey the military orders, but Li Huaiyuan had been prepared and directly killed two captains and six military envoys on the grounds of disobeying the military orders.
Seeing Li Huaiyuan's actions made everyone in Youzhou even more nervous. After summoning his subordinate captains and military envoys, Li Huaiyuan immediately sent people to take over Jizhou Prefecture, Yuyang Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture, and Zhuozhou Prefecture.
The six prefectures of Youzhou Prefecture and Hengzhou Prefecture total nearly 50,000
He then promoted a group of suppressed talents, purged some of the former lieutenants and military envoys, and quickly took control of the six government armies. This lightning speed made everyone in Youzhou stunned.
Have no idea what's going on.
"This is a real person. There are very few people who can do this quickly. If Zuo Longxiang Guards is Li Huaiyuan's army, and there are several states in the territory, who would dare to mess with it?" Yang Wangzhen sighed.
road.
"It is precisely because his army is Zuo Longxiang Guards and the local government cannot be governed, so he settled his family and relatives here. If he, like us, seizes the state capital from the Mohe army and governs it himself
"Don't worry about anything else now." Zhao Xun nodded and said.
"It is our most correct decision to take the lead in taking action from the north, surrounded by the Mohe Army. This makes our army our own and the local governance also ours." Lu Ziliang sighed.
Zhao Xun also understood that the difference between him and Li Huaiyuan was that all of his nearly 100,000 troops were supported by himself, and their food and clothing were all provided by himself. In addition, these state capitals were obtained from the Mohe Army.
It is also one who seizes and governs, and in this way he also wins the hearts and minds of the people. Otherwise, he would be far inferior to Li Huaiyuan.
"By the way, how are we doing among the six government armies?"
"The cronies Li Huaiyuan sent to take over the six mansions also brought many low-level officers, and most of these low-level officers are our people. In addition, many low-level officers who were suppressed in the past but were capable have been brought under my control.
Most of the Xiaoguo Army’s support now goes to our Xiaoguo Army. Once something happens, these government troops won’t have any big problems.”
"Did someone take advantage of the incident to purge the rich and distinguished families in each government?" Situ Liang said suddenly.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "It depends on the situation. In any case, we can't do it openly, and we can't be involved. There are many wealthy families in these places. If one of them is bad, he is a coquettish person."
"General! The little yellow gate where the imperial court passed the decree is about to enter Youzhou!" Wei Chen said as he entered the room.
"Everything is ready, all we have to do is wait for the east wind." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice, with a bright light in his eyes.
