In March, the Central Plains were already full of grass and birds, and the dead trees sprouted. But the weather in Youzhou was still a little cold. However, Xiaoguojun didn't care. Because of the successful sale of bonds, the money for repairing and dredging of rivers was the
It was solved together.
Since we cannot intervene in the war in the south, let’s start construction. Under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army, all regions began to enter canals, rivers, dredging, and connections. In the three states, all regions were recruiting civilians, and in various places
The river management plan is carried out. The river yamen has become the busiest department nowadays.
After learning about the actions of the Xiaoguo Army, all the forces in the south breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what Zhao Xun was playing, it would be fine if he didn't focus his attention on the south. Now his energy was betting on the river channel, and the south
The dispute will not easily join. Therefore, the war in the south has been resting for a winter and has quietly unfolded.
…………
Yanzhou, Yanzhou City.
"Waste! Bucket!"
"Bang!"
The exquisite and noble celadon flower teacup was smashed on the ground, and the pieces and tea splashed up, making a jingling sound, but this did not slightly eliminate the anger of the person who threw the cup. He went back and forth in the living room.
Walking down, his face was terrible pale, and the blue veins on his forehead were as wide as a finger. This caused the quietness in the living room, and it seemed like a thunder when a needle fell down. Everyone carefully put their own
The breathing sound is controlled to the weakest point, so as not to become the object of the master's anger.
"Where is Hu Guang now? Where is Liao Jun now? What are they busy with, what are they busy with now? Didn't this general say, stick to it, stick to it! Damn, I asked them to defend the city, how did this go about it?
Things? Why did the Tang army suddenly appear in Liangzhou Prefecture?" Ding Qiang, the newly appointed general of the Wuwei Army, roared in anger.
Originally, the three forces in Yanzhou were in a stalemate stage. The Tang army occupied the two northern prefectures, the Xuzhou army occupied one in the east, and the rest were occupied by the Yanzhou army. However, the Yanzhou army was divided into two parts, one of which entered Yanzhou before the New Year.
, while suppressing the governor of Yanzhou, the guards who took action against the Tang army who betrayed the King of Qi. There were not many guards entering Yanzhou, with 20,000 people, but last time they were defeated by Tang Xian, with 20,000 guards and 20,000 Yanzhou Prefecture Army
The losses were heavy and they suddenly became weak in Yanzhou.
If it weren't for his identity, I'm afraid that the Yanzhou Governor Xu Jie, who had long been unaware of him, would have dealt with it. Dante Qiang still controlled the three places of Dongzhou Prefecture, Chenliu Prefecture and Xingyang Prefecture, which were close to Yongzhou.
In this way, the base camp was also set up in Yanzhou City, the capital of Yanzhou Prefecture. In this regard, the governor of Yanzhou Xu Jie was extremely angry. Ding Qiang won over his subordinates in Yanzhou City and instructed his troops to fight on the front line.
Month ago, Ding Qiang asked his direct subordinates to settle in Liangzhou Prefecture. The surface intention was to resist Tang Xian in the north, but in fact he controlled the Liangzhou Prefecture. However, a few days ago, Qixiang, Liangzhou Prefecture, Shangqiu and others
The army in the land was raided by the Tang army and both cities were lost.
Ding Qiang was naturally furious, not only did he lose his troops, but he also made his plan completely fail. Although Ding Qiang was a new general of the Wuwei Army, if he wanted to get Murong Cheng's reputation, he would have to achieve results. At the same time, the newly established general of the Shence Army, Xu Yandong
But in Yuzhou, I have already gained a foothold. I was defeated first and have suffered a lot of gossip. I don’t know what those who replaced me will say about this big defeat.
"Ding Yi, take General Ben's token and ask these two bastards to commit suicide. After several months of work, all the hard work was lost. Damn, his subordinates were dead, they
What's the use of living? Ding Er, you took General's token to find Ding Wu. I wonder why the Tang army crossed the border, but our people didn't know in advance? What did he eat when he was doing information?
If there is no answer that can convince me, let him commit suicide, I don’t want to see a useless person.” Ding Qiang issued a series of commands gloomy.
The two men agreed with a strong voice, and then took the token and left immediately. At this time, it was so great happiness to be able to leave the master's eyes! Who knows whether the general's anger would vent for no reason.
What if I was dragged out to death on my head? Maybe I could be ordered by my master to be executed by my master. In this day, it seems that only by killing people. Continuous killing can relieve the anger in my heart. In the lobby
, besides the generals and lieutenants under Ding Qiang, the rest are his own personal soldiers and absolute confidants.
"So, now, who can tell me how much power we still have in Liangzhou Prefecture? How many troops are there in the army? How many troops in Yanzhou Prefecture around?" Ding Qiang said gloomyly.
"Report to the general, we have arranged three teams in the counties of Liangzhou Prefecture, a total of 8,000 people. This is already half of the existing forces of the Wuwei Army in Yanzhou. Among them, there are 4,000 newly transferred from Yongzhou.
Brother. Now, the power of Liangzhou Prefecture has been severely damaged, and the two armies have been disbanded, and there are only about 3,000 in the hands of Lin Yi in Gucheng. But the group of people in his hands must have stood firm in Liangzhou Prefecture.
I can't count on it anymore."
"The Yanzhou Prefecture Army has nearly 10,000 people in Liangzhou Prefecture, and some of them are newly formed. Although the power is not as good as that, if you want them to use it for us, you may be... In addition, the Tang army entered Liangzhou Prefecture in the south, and it is impossible for Yanzhou Prefecture to enter the Yanzhou Prefecture in the south.
The army had no idea, and his subordinates even suspected that the Tang army could avoid our spies and appeared at our city in an instant. Did it come by the Yanzhou Prefecture Army?" Guidelang general Chu Xiao said in a low voice.
"Five thousand army, five thousand army! It's gone! Who can tell me the reason? Who can tell me the reason? Even if you come from the way, you won't be able to defend the city, right? Ding Jiu
, find out what happened in Liangzhou Prefecture immediately. If Xu Jie is a bastard, I don’t mind dealing with him first." Ding Qiang said gloomyly.
"General, don't worry, I will find out as soon as possible!" Ding Jiu said anxiously. The pressure on Ding Qiang was too great. Ding Jiu doubted that if he was talking later, would he be directly given to him by his master?
Execution.
"Ye Feiyu, what should we do now? Should we take action against Xu Jie first?" Ding Qiang looked at a middle-aged scholar and said coldly.
The middle-aged scribe said calmly: "General, please calm down! The situation this time is not because the guards are incompetent, but because they are too cunning. But no matter what, we must figure out whether they are really having sex with Xu Jie?
Or is it a relationship with the Liangzhou Prefecture's army? We cannot rule out that the Tang army has already bribed these prefectures. The general, before confirming the situation, cannot really oppose Xu Jie. Even, we know that
You can't turn your back immediately!"
"What? It's fine if you don't move before you don't understand the situation. If the situation is clear, you still don't move? Then aren't these five thousand brothers dead in vain? Mr. Ye, what do you mean?" General Gui Delang said coldly.
"Shut up and let Ye Feiyu finish speaking!" Ding Qiang shouted sternly, but looked at Ye Feiyu with a gloomy face. If Ye Feiyu had no reasonable explanation, he would definitely make Ye Feiyu look good.
Ye Feiyu continued: "General, we are in a bad situation now. If we really face Xu Jie, Xu Jie in the south will turn to Tang Xian. After all, under Tang Xian, he can still become a general. If the general insists on fighting Xu Jie
When he got up, Xu Jie would feel that his life was in danger. How could he not understand which one is more important?" As he said that, Ye Feiyu glanced at Ding Qiang.
Ding Qiang's face changed a few times. He knew what Ye Feiyu meant. Ye Feiyu had persuaded himself not to fight with Xu Jie too hard, not to force him too much, and to move forward slowly, and to do it slowly. But he just didn't.
Listen, if you want to cut the mess quickly, take the Yanzhou Prefecture Army under your command, and take Xu Jie and replace it. If this is really what Xu Jie did, it means that Xu Jie already has the intention to turn to Tang Xian, or Tang Xian
The conditions given to Xu Jie have made him feel that it is better to fight Ding Qiang here in the Tang army than to fight Ding Qiang to death.
"Stop talking!" Ding Qiang said coldly.
Ye Feiyu said: "In addition, Lin Yi's troops must be careful. Although there has not been any news of General Lin Yi's attack yet, we have to be careful! Secondly, we need to suspend our operations in Yanzhou to eliminate Xu
The hostile mentality of the rank. Although we have been seizing power from him before, we have not intended to kill him. We just want him to surrender to His Highness the King of Qi. We can even give in to a certain extent."
After a pause, Ye Feiyu said again: "If possible, we will evacuate Liangzhou Prefecture."
"What? No, this Liangzhou Prefecture is decided!" Ding Qiang said sternly. "The previous great defeat has made many people dissatisfied with my position. Even His Highness, King Qi, asked me to speed up the situation.
Action. You make me give in, it's impossible!”
Ye Feiyu said: "General, temporary concessions do not mean concessions in the future, nor does it mean complete concessions. Now, the three forces gather in Yanzhou. The strongest of them is the court, but the power of this court is
We are united with the government army. Because of this, we can fight on both sides and resist the Xuzhou army in the east and the Tang army in the north. If the Xu rank changes, then the result..."
Ye Feiyu didn't say it clearly, but Ding Qiang also knew it. If Xu Jie had a change, the other two sides would naturally benefit, and his more than 15,000 guard soldiers would naturally die or retreat from Yanzhou.
The ending is that there is no need to say much about the outcome. The army retreated, and he, the general of the guard, would not say it all the time, and he might even lose his life.
"Then what do you mean?" Ding Qiang stopped insisting and asked in a deep voice.
"We retreat, but the Yanzhou Prefecture Army cannot retreat. If Yanzhou is lost, the Yanzhou Prefecture Army will have no meaning! His Xu Jie is also meaningless. Therefore, his Yanzhou Army must take over! He Xu Jie doesn't think we are too much
Is it strong? Then we retreat. He doesn't want us to meet the enemy on his territory, so we retreat! I don't believe that Xu Jie can sit and see the land of Yanzhou being annexed step by step by step by step by step by step by the Tang army? In any case, my guard has already occupied it.
He went to the land of the three prefectures and made sure to make a profit. At that time, it was not that we would rush to occupy the land of Yanzhou, but that he, Xu Jie, begged us to go to the north of Yanzhou to fight the enemy, begged us to occupy the prefectures of Yanzhou." Ye Feiyu said in a deep voice.
"What if Xu Jie turned directly to the Tang army?" General Gui Delang said coldly.
"So, we want to spread the news that Xu Jie colluded with the Tang army to sell Yanzhou." Ye Feiyu sneered.
Ding Qiang said in a deep voice: "Okay, true or false, it doesn't matter. What's important is that if this news spreads, he Xu Jie would have to fight the Tang army. Otherwise, his subordinates would be disloyal from him. New Year's Eve
Ten thousand people were killed in our army, but we can follow me... There are also more than 15,000 soldiers in the palace who died with our army. The soldiers of the palace definitely do not want them to give up this hatred and turn to the Tang army."
…………
Tang Xian, who was discussed by Ding Qiang, was also a little puzzled at this moment, why did the troops in Liaocheng and Boping cities in Liangzhou Prefecture give way to them, and then gave up the guard's flank defense line.
At first, when Tang Xian received the news from the government army, he couldn't believe it, thinking that it was a conspiracy of the government army. But Tang Xian was also a brave man. Naturally, he also knew the contradictions in the Yanzhou army, as a previous generation
The general of the guards naturally knew that the nature of the guards was always superior. He also knew Murong Cheng's plan to control various prefectures. Although this might be a conspiracy of the governors, it is not ruled out that it was borrowed by the governors.
Take your own hands and clear out the guards in Yanzhou.
Nowadays, the Xiaoguo Army is busy repairing and dredging the river channel. It is a good time for its own development and growth. Tang Xian is very clear about his current situation. His Tang army is located in the northernmost part of Yanzhou, but is also south of the Xiaoguo Army. Especially
Now that the Xiaoguo Army has accepted Qingzhou, he is under even greater pressure. If the Xiaoguo Army does not have time to look south, then when the Xiaoguo Army completely swallows Qingzhou, it will be repaired and dredged.
When the river's energy is redirected, it will be in trouble.
So, Tang Xian didn't care that this might be a situation where he was trapped, so he personally led his army to the east. As a result, he really took over the two counties to the north of Liangzhou Prefecture.
However, after taking down these two places, Tang Xian also started to think about it. Since the government army was not in harmony with the guards, could he bring Xu Jie, the governor of the government army, into his command? Tang Xian was the leader of the guards' arrogance.
It is clearer than anyone else. You must know that he was from a general of the Guard, so he naturally knew the usual style of the Guard. He thought of it and did it. Tang Xian sent someone to Yanzhou City to negotiate with Xu Jie and take a look
What is the other party’s bottom line? Can you take it for yourself? If you can take it to your own command, you will be the lord of Yanzhou.
Yanzhou City, the Governor's Office.
The Governor's Mansion in Yanzhou City is located in the north of the city, and the General Guard is located in the east of the city. The two sides are extremely disagreeable. Xu Jie, who is over 40 years old, is also a little anxious and slightly nervous at this moment. Now, he regrets a little, regrets letting the Tang army cross the boundary and letting him
The two cities of the Guards were raided, causing more than 5,000 soldiers of the Guards to be killed.
"Governor, now things have happened, and it's too late to regret. What we need to do now is to make all preparations!" Shi Feng Ziming, the head of the governor of the prefecture, said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Governor, this guard has already bullied us. The former 80,000 government troops have been ruined by the guards for about 15,000. In addition, nearly 20,000 people have been bribed by the guards.
If we don't respond, there will be no place for our military troops to stand in Yanzhou! The experience of the Governor, Yangzhou Governor Sun Hao, has the Governor been alert yet? Still have hope for the court or the King of Qi? We chose from the beginning
If he doesn't cooperate, how could the King of Qi accept us? How arrogant is the guard? Will he be on par with us? In addition, the blood of those 15,000 brothers, apart from the Tang army, can his guards escape? The governor..."
Commander Ye Xuan also said in a deep voice.
Speaking of Yangzhou Governor Sun Hao, Xu Jie couldn't help but stop. The land of Yangzhou is the base camp of the King of Qi and the source of wealth of the King of Qi. Sun Hao was originally a confidant of the King of Qi. Somehow, he was ambitious and wanted to support his troops.
.Just last summer, when the Xiaoguo Army and Tang Xian fought in eastern Qingzhou, the Yangzhou Navy directly took it and killed the nine clans! He did not think about his old love at all, and spared his family. In addition,
The Yangzhou Prefecture Army also encountered bloody purges. More than 20,000 soldiers were killed in the palace, and as many as 50,000 were implicated. For a moment, the land of Yangzhou was filled with blood.
It is precisely because of this that the entire south and the world saw the cruelty of King Murong Cheng of Qi. Even Jiangzhou, in the southern part of Yangzhou, bowed down to his post.
Although the Jiangzhou Governor is still in his position, in addition to some of his troops being absorbed by Murong Cheng, they were sent to the front line of Yangzhou fighting with Xuzhou troops, consuming the strength and spirit of Xuzhou troops.
When he was attacked several times by Yongzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, the governor of Yuzhou and his officials from all over the country were soon surrendered by Murong Cheng's evil spirit and surrendered to Murong Cheng. The Shence Army also entered Yuzhou.
The land began to recruit the former Yuzhou governor and regarded the former Yuzhou governor as a decoration.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Jie did not strongly oppose the reinforcements sent by the King of Qi at the beginning and let them enter the country. After all, the other party was from the court, and they were reinforcements to support themselves. Who knew that as soon as the reinforcements entered the country,
I was not at ease. In addition to providing military supplies and food for the 30,000 guards, I also had to give up the place to garrison the troops. In the end, I took away 20,000 soldiers from my hands.
What happened? The Tang army and Xuzhou army of Yanzhou Prefecture were not driven out, but they gave up the three palaces to the guards who came to support them. In addition to providing their subordinates, they also had to support these 30,000 guards.
The army, and the 30,000 guards need is no worse than the 40,000 government troops, but they are picking their subordinates. What makes Xu Jie even more angry is that his two
Ten thousand subordinates were lost by this bastard general Ding Qiang, and the remaining ones were also lost by the guards. Xu Jie really wanted to ask Ding Qiang, are you here to rescue him?
