Gaomi Prefecture, Xiami County, and Zhao Xun's residence.
Lingzhou Prefecture escorted the captured Xuzhou army secret envoy to Zhao Xun. When Zhao Xun heard the situation of the Hawkeye Department's return, he was also shocked. He did not expect that the Xuzhou army would prepare to join forces with the former mortal enemy Wuwei Army and Shence Army.
Zhao Xun understood that the Xuzhou army must have seen that they were standing in Qingzhou, which poses too great a threat to them and wants to cause some trouble for themselves.
Sure enough, after interrogation, Li Yanzong explained his situation.
It turned out that after he and the Xuzhou army jointly cut off the retreat of the Langya Prefecture Guards in Yanzhou, he defeated the Langya Prefecture Guards and annexed more than 13,000 guard soldiers, and handed over the Langya Prefecture to Qingzhou Prefecture.
The army, and the middle army, also retreated from Yanzhou to Jizhou.
In this way, on the surface, the Qingzhou Prefecture Army stood with itself, which made the pressure on the north side of the Xuzhou Army not weaker than when the Guards were there in the past. Moreover, the retreat of the Central Army pushed the Xuzhou Army to the sky.
Opposite to the court.
Yes, I, Murong Cheng, can't take over your Xiaoguo army, but I can't do anything to your Xuzhou army? The Xiaoguo army is far away from me, and the enemy is strong, but your Xuzhou army is not good. Let's not talk about the place of Yanzhou against Xuzhou.
The siege of General Junzhendong was even in southern Xuzhou, and even the Yangzhou army was attacked. In an instant, General Murong Cheng vented his anger and vented all his anger. In just half a month, seven counties were lost in the southern Xuzhou army.
So, the commander of Xuzhou Army Li Chi, was about to join forces with the Guards secretly to let Xiaoguo Army know the enemy.
Before Li Yanzong went to the north to the Guards, the Xuzhou army had had many contacts with the Guards. When they learned that the Guards were in short supply, the Xuzhou army transported the Guards this time.
Of course, with Li Chi's strength, he dare not publicly oppose the Xiaoguo Army. The strength of the Xiaoguo Army is several times that of his, and he is no match for the Xiaoguo Army at all. The most important thing is that the Xuzhou Army has now fallen into the trap.
How dare I add a strong enemy to myself by the attack of Murong Cheng?
If he really wants to annoy Xiaoguo Army again, there is a court army in the south and a Qingzhou Prefecture Army in the north, then he will have no way to die. Before this, no matter how excessive Xiaoguo Army was, he could only endure it.
Only after the siege of Yangzhou army in the south has been quelled, and then the battle with the Xiaoguo army will be discussed.
Although it is not possible on the surface, it is OK in secret. Now the Xiaoguo Army and the Guards are fighting in Qingzhou. Although the Xiaoguo Army is strong, it will cost a considerable price to deal with the Guards. Therefore, Li Chi is very
Hopefully, the longer the Xiaoguo Army and the Guards fight, the better, and it is best to be evenly matched.
Li Chi heard that the guards suffered great losses in their personnel and supplies as they fought. The personnel were better and they could be recruited on the spot. As long as there was food, there was no shortage of soldiers. However, the food gap was very large, so there was no one.
The solution is. The territory occupied is difficult to supply the required food, grass and military supplies for a while. So Li Chi became interested in the alliance. Let's not talk about anything else, let them fight to the death first. If Xiaoguo Army
If the guards are really in great harmony in Qingzhou, the pressure on the north side of Xuzhou army can be ignored. Of course, if the Xiaoguo army is defeated, it will be the best.
In fact, the Xiaoguo Army is very strong now, but if you really want to force Tang Xian to become anxious, Tang Xian will never surrender. Tang Xian and Shen Yuanhe have been in Langya Mansion for nearly two years, and have been fighting with Li Chi for more than two years.
Li Chi still knows Tang Xian very well. He wants Zhao Xun to fall into the quagmire of fighting with the guards and reduce the threat to him.
So Li Chi began to contact Tang Xian. He believed that Tang Xian had no choice at this moment. As long as he could survive this period, the Xiaoguo Army would not stay in Qingzhou for a long time. After all, transporting food and grass from Jizhou is not the case.
It's a simple thing. You should know that the Xiaoguo Army is now busy implementing the new policy in Jizhou. In the short term, it will not be able to obtain enough food and supplies for the army to fight continuously.
"It seems that Li Chi is going to give him a little wink!" Wei Dong said angrily.
"We cannot do it openly, otherwise we will only force Murong Cheng to do it. Although he will not surrender to Murong Cheng, he will definitely cooperate with Murong Cheng to attack us." Zhao Xun shook his head and said.
"Lord! Tang Xian came to envoy and asked for peace talks with our army!"
Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "It seems that the people we need to cause trouble for the Xuzhou army are here."
"What is the lord's intention?"
"Accept it! Of course, we will raise the conditions!" Zhao Xun said with a sneer, "It is him who wants to beat him, and it is him who wants to get along. It will not be possible at that time if there is no blood."
"Tell the other party and let Tang Xian come to talk in person!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
…………
Gaomi County.
"What? I want this general to go to him to talk in person? He doesn't think about it! If you want to fight, fight! Will I be afraid of him?" After hearing the rewards from his subordinates, Tang Xian said angrily. Going to the territory of the Xiaoguo Army is not that Tang Xian is afraid of him.
.But when he went, it means that he was inferior. He had already given up and had to go there himself. Tang Xian naturally didn't want to send an envoy to the peace talks.
"Old Shen, has the envoy of the Xuzhou Army arrived? Talking to them, I agreed to their conditions and assist us immediately. The stronger we are in Qingzhou, the more beneficial it is to the Xuzhou Army." Tang Xian turned to the dazed side.
Shen Yuanhe said.
Shen Yuanhe smiled bitterly and said, "Old Man Tang, it seems that we have to talk. Oh, this is the information sent by Donglai Mansion!" As he said that, he handed the information in his hand to Tang Xian.
"Zhang Wenkui, the left-behind general of Donglai Prefecture, reported that the navy of the Xiaoguo army had blocked all the waters in the eastern part of Qingzhou. Any ship that transported materials to our army would be confiscated, and all those who resisted would be sunk. In just a few days, they would be sunk.
More than twenty ships that transported us supplies were confiscated by the Xiaoguo Army Navy, and more than ten were sunk. Now, the ships outside dare not approach us at all. In other words, we are now at all
If you don’t get support from the sea, even if the Xuzhou army is willing to provide us with help, unless he is willing to lead the army to attack the Xiaoguo army, he will not be able to achieve the predetermined goal." Shen Yuan and Shisheng said.
"According to some merchants who passed through normal merchant ships, the secret envoy of the Xuzhou army Li Chi had already set out, but the download had not arrived at Donglai Prefecture. It seems that he had been captured by Xiaoguo Army. In other words,
Zhao Xun had known about the fact that we were preparing to join forces with the Xuzhou army. If we were to fight hard, Zhao Xun would definitely not leave any backup. He understood that the guards that joined forces with the Xuzhou army were more terrifying than the simple guards.
.” Shen Yuanhe continued.
Tang Xian was stunned immediately, his face turned pale. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Transfer to Zhao Xun and say, "I don't think it's safe to go to his place."
…………
"Haha... Tang Xian finally gave in! Tell him that we both talked on the territory of the Qingzhou Prefecture Army, and we were in Beihai Prefecture Ju County." Zhao Xun laughed when he heard Tang Xian's reply.
"By the way, let Qingzhou Governor Cao Bin participate. After all, this is related to Qingzhou, so it is the most appropriate to let him join in." Zhao Xun continued to explain.
…………
"The general, Xiaoguo Army replied, our army, Xiaoguo Army and Qingzhou Prefecture Army, the tripartite talks are located in Beihai Prefecture Ju County, Qingzhou Prefecture Army."
"The Qingzhou Prefecture Army also participated? What does Zhao Xun mean?"
Tang Xian couldn't help but sigh and said, "This Zhao Xun really has the means to pull the Qingzhou Prefecture Army in. It seems to have no effect, but in fact it is really pulling the Qingzhou Prefecture Army into his own camp.
If I had known it, I would have proposed it when I started.”
Yes, the two armies fought in a big battle, but they were in other jurisdictions and threw others aside. Previously, it was because the Qingzhou Prefecture Army was weak and neither side looked down on it. But now in peace talks, the Qingzhou Prefecture Army was obviously
A very important weight. Okay, if your guards want to fight with me, I will join the governor of Qingzhou to see who can do better than who? More importantly, the governor of Qingzhou is the real master of Qingzhou. Although
The court did not admit it, but it is undisputed that the Qingzhou Prefecture Army is qualified to occupy this place. The Xiaoguo Army did not have the energy to swallow this place, but for the sake of the overall situation, it would not swallow this place. The guards wanted to swallow this place, but unfortunately,
Incapable of ability.
"I replied to Zhao Xun and said I agreed! Three days later, the three parties will have a peace talk in Ju County." Tang Xian said in a muffled voice.
"Old Man Tang, it seems that we are going to suffer this time!" Shen Yuanhe shook his head and said.
Tang Xianhen said, "Yes, it's certain to suffer a loss. It depends on what Zhao Xun's conditions are."
"Send the order to let the first left-wing palace go to Ju County with this general!"
"Old man Tang, isn't there too few three thousand people? Let's do this, I'll go for you in this meeting, you're here to control the overall situation." Shen Yuanhe said in a deep voice.
Tang Xian shook his head and said, "No, I will go in person this time, and I will also see who Zhao Xun is. I will leave it to you here."
…………
"Zhao Xun asked me to go to Ju County to attend the peace talks? The guards are going to have a peace talks with Xiao Guojun? No more fights?" Cao Bin was stunned when he heard this. These days, he was busy re-administering the various prefectures under his jurisdiction.
, replace civil and military officials. He really doesn't understand the movements of the Guards and the Xiaoguo Army.
Wang Yanqing said: "Yes, the situation in the Guards was very bad, so he asked Zhao Xun for peace. Zhao Xun agreed and invited the governor to attend the tripartite talks."
"Me? What am I going to do? I didn't get involved!"
Wang Yanqing smiled and said, "Zhao Xun means that Qingzhou will be yours in the future. You have to work with him to put pressure on the guards. The Xiaoguo Army fought in succession, and fought in Jizhou and Qingzhou, and was exhausted.
The logistics is probably very difficult, so I thought of a peace talks to resolve it.”
Cao Bin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go this time. The two of them have almost fought each other. Now I think of me."
Wang Yanqing said: "It's not that you think of you now, but that you couldn't get involved in it before. Zhao Xun is not interested in Qingzhou now, but he will never let Qingzhou fall into the hands of the guards, so he hopes you can take over.
Qingzhou.”
"Then Tang Xian was arrogant in front of me last time. This time, I want to see, he is still not so arrogant!" Cao Bin sneered.
