Xu Jie took a deep breath, looked at Feng Ziming with a deep meaning, and said in a deep voice: "Let the brothers in the city be careful, everyone, be prepared for everything, of course, we should not act rashly! OK
Now, let’s go down and prepare!”
After everyone left, a middle-aged man with a cold face walked out of the side of the lobby, wearing a gentleman's outfit. He walked slowly to Xu Jie and said lightly: "Governor, this seat is really attractive. Now, all parties
The competition begins with you."
Xu Jie's face was a little dim, and he sighed slightly, saying, "How can I not know this? The result of the Qingzhou Governor, the King of Shu, and the two Governors told me that they were in our position and had no choice.
Oh, what kind of people do you think are there among my subordinates?”
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Jie and said, "The choice of the governor of Qingzhou Cao Bin is to surrender to the northern prince Zhao Xun. Of course, he has no other choice. The governor of Ningzhou Zhang Yan, who has established himself as a king, has already created the
New situation. So, Governor Xu, what about your choice? Just as you said too much, your hesitation has caused more and more people from other forces to be mixed with, Wu Wei Jun, Tang Jun,
The Xuzhou Army and the Xiaoguo Army are also the Xiaoguo Army.”
Xu Jie said in a deep voice: "Ji Yun, what do you think I am now? If you don't say anything else, there is no hope of getting along with the guards peacefully. He used the Tang army's hands to kill 15,000 people.
Now, I used the help of Tang Jun to get rid of five thousand of his men and ruined his plan to occupy Liangzhou Prefecture."
Ji Yun smiled and said, "Isn't this the governor's own intention?"
Xu Jie shook his head with a wry smile. He remembered that because of the heavy losses of his subordinates, the guards took their own things in the rear, which made him extremely dissatisfied. But even so, he did not face the guards head-on.
It was not until early March that the guards attacked Liangzhou Prefecture again. Xu Jie, who was so angry, was persuaded by the generals Ah and Changshi Feng Ziming, and gave the guards of Liangzhou Prefecture a ruthless blow.
Then he realized that doing so would completely cut off the possibility of serving the Guards, that is, King Qi. This is secondary. The most important thing is that now the Yanzhou army is fighting against the Xuzhou army and the Tang army alone, so
One against two. If the guards and themselves have a rift, then, better, they are at a disadvantage and worse, then their Yanzhou Prefecture Army will be in danger. But things have happened, and regret is not the solution to the problem. Now
He himself lived in Yanzhou City with General Ding Qiang, the Guard, and if one is not good, it would cause a fire between the two sides and inspire a war. But what his subordinates said was not unreasonable. If they do not attack, they must not be prepared.
"Ji Yun, can you guess whose person Feng Ziming is?" Xu Jie said in a muffled voice. Xu Jie is very troubled now. As time goes by, he finds that his old subordinates are gradually beginning to deviate.
The generals also seemed to start to ignore the idea of other forces changing. Of course, this is also related to himself. Now the Yanzhou Prefecture Army and the Guards are extremely disagreeable. In Yanzhou, the Guards are even more crawling on the heads of the Mansion Army.
How can the soldiers of the government army tolerate it? But in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Xu Jie did not allow his subordinates and the guards to force it. As a result, many soldiers of the government army complained about it, especially when the government army was fighting on the front line, while the guards were planning to seize themselves in the rear.
turf.
Ji Yun shook his head and said, "I can't explain it clearly. On the surface, the biggest possibility is the Tang army. After all, the Tang army made a profit in this battle. If nothing unexpected happens, all the three counties of Liangzhou Prefecture will be lost. At that time,
The guards and the government forces are not in harmony, and the Tang army, which is eyeing the covetous Tang army in the north, will follow the trend. Of course, if this is done, the Tang army will become our main target of defense, so it is very likely that people from other forces will be from. In short, the governor is now
What we need to do is to be prepared for the situation, and we also need to consider the future way out. The government army alone can no longer decide the ownership of Yanzhou."

Youzhou City, Grand Governor's Office.
Although Zhao Xun was removed from all fame and fortune by the court, the northern people still called Zhao Xun the Grand Governor. Therefore, the Grand Governor's Office in Youzhou City still did not change the plaque.
In the inner hall of the Grand Governor's Office, in addition to Zhao Xun and several important officials of the Xiaoguo Army, there were also former Qingzhou Governor Cao Bin and former Qingzhou Xuanfu Wang Yanqing. Everyone gathered together and were tasting tea with relish.
The room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
The land of Qingzhou has been officially taken over by the Xiaoguo Army, and the government troops under Cao Bin were also rectified and reorganized by the Xiaoguo Army. Fortunately, with the internal assistance of the Qingzhou Governor Cao Bin, in short, the transition will be smooth in all the processes. Even if it is, the process will be smooth.
If there is any problem or someone makes trouble, it is Cao Bin who personally led the army to destroy everything. Because of Cao Bin's cooperation, the Xiaoguo Army has a good feeling for Cao Bin. Now, the Qingzhou affairs have been completed, so Cao Bin will naturally not
I continued to stay in Qingzhou and came to Youzhou City to report.
Zhao Xun learned that he would welcome him. For the Xiaoguo Army, Cao Bin's cooperation allowed the Xiaoguo Army to expand the territory of a state and avoid the outbreak of a war. In the room, everyone had a happy conversation.
Although he has become a master and a minister because of his former equal status, the atmosphere here is very comfortable.
Outside the house, the cold air was so cold that inside the house was as warm as spring. The curtain inside and outside were completely different. Because of Cao Bin's performance over the past few months, the ministers of the Xiaoguo Army still had a good impression of him. Not long after,
The two sides left the direct barriers and slowly merged together. They talked about the recent situation in Qingzhou, river repairs and dredging matters.
Speaking of Qingzhou, people talked about the battle of Yanzhou and the recent situation of Shu Kingdom. Unlike Yanzhou, which was stable for three or four months due to the cold winter, Ningzhou, that is, Shu Kingdom, was under the order of Situ Lei.
The attack from three routes to the north was huge.
"Oh? I have also met this Ningzhou Governor Zhang Yan, but I didn't expect that this guy is really brave. Compared with others, he became famous all over the world." Cao Bin shook his head.
Said.
Situ Liang smiled and said, "Yes, Zhang Yan moved, and suddenly the world's eyes looked at him. He was the first guy to proclaim himself king. Then he raised the forces that the world was abandoned by the court one by one.
, the court and the people of the world looked at each other. It turned out that under the operation of the court, so many forces have become rebel thieves. Especially, each of them is a person who can fight well. I am afraid that, some people now doubt it.
Can the court continue to command the world?"
"Yes, Zhang Yan made a move and cut off most of the army that surrounded him, and let those guys with dissatisfaction see the weakness of the court." Wang Yanqing sighed.
"What's wrong with the so-called Shu Kingdom now?" Cao Bin asked with a smile.
Situ Liang said: "What else can it be? The north has no time to take care of others, and they are all busy with their own affairs. The troops of Yizhou and even Yongzhou from Ningzhou have indeed entered his territory. It seems that the situation in Shu Kingdom is now
Not very good. If it weren't for the assistance of the Southern Barbarians in Ningzhou, I'm afraid the Shu Kingdom, which has only been independent for less than half a year, would have ended like this. In addition, we also received rumors that the Shu Kingdom seemed to send people to alliance with Jiaozhou."
"Oh? In this way, the officials in Jiaozhou can't sit still?" Cao Bin asked.
"The land of Jiaozhou is a barren place in the Han Dynasty, but because of the rise of maritime trade in recent decades, the southern and eastern Jiaozhou have become rich and prosperous. How could the officials here be willing to give up their things? This Murong
Cheng and Situ Lei treated these officials of the original forces from beginning to end. In addition to their wealth and their ways of making money, even the money they had accumulated without permission, would be confiscated completely. The most important thing is
Yes, the governor of Jiaozhou has rejected Murong Cheng before. You must know that Murong Cheng will never show mercy to these people who do not cooperate. This is a lesson from the past." Situ Liang explained with a smile.
The lessons of the past are beyond words, and it is in the north. Cao Bin and Tang Xian are examples. In a flash, they became traitors and were about to be killed.
After Wang Yanqing surrendered, he voluntarily arranged for the prefect of Qingzhou. As for Cao Bin, he said that he was unwilling to lead the army. Then Zhao Xun temporarily arranged for him to enter the Military Affairs Department to coordinate the reorganization of each army, especially the Qingzhou Prefecture Army.
Smooth rectification.
After arranging Cao Bin and other surrendered generals in Qingzhou, Zhao Xun discussed the situation in Yanzhou with everyone. Although the Xiaoguo Army will not look south for the time being, it does not mean that the Xiaoguo Army does not care about the situation in Yanzhou. Now, Yanzhou
The land is the center of the entire south. The roads of the Xiaoguo army heading south, the roads of the Xuzhou army heading west, and the roads of the guards heading north, all focus on this. If the Xiaoguo army had not just swallowed the southern part of Jizhou and Qingzhou,
I am afraid that the army would go south after Tang Xian. Since we cannot interfere directly, we can only plan secretly.
"Lord, the beginning has been opened. Now, conflicts between the Yanzhou Prefecture Army and the Guards are unavoidable, especially the eight thousand guards of Liangzhou Prefecture were killed one after another. After the three counties of Liangzhou Prefecture were lost, the guards were
I will never live in peace with Xu Jie. Our people in Gaza have provoked battles between the government and the guards many times. Many people in the government are also very dissatisfied with this." Situ Liang said in a deep voice
Said, telling them about their recent actions one by one.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Yes, in this way, the land of Yanzhou will not be in a stalemate, and the guards will gradually become the master of Yanzhou."
Situ Liang said: "In addition, our people also found that behind the generals around Xu Jie, there were people from all sides of the forces. Now, Xu Jie is simply in a mess."
"It seems that the existence of this guard poses too much a threat to the Tang army and the Xuzhou army. They are deliberately joining forces to destroy the contact between the two armies and strive to kill or expel the guards first." Li Jinqian said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "If we hadn't been repairing the canal and dredging the river channel and doing such a thankless stupid thing, we would have been the target of their active defense now."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing. Since the Xiaoguo Army began to repair and dredge the river, many people have laughed at it and sighed secretly. Even inside the Xiaoguo Army, many civil and military officials believed that
Now is not the time to do this. With this skill, it is better to expand the territory south. The Yanzhou area to the south is already in chaos. Many people in Yanzhou are asking for help from the Xiaoguo army, hoping that the Xiaoguo army can go south.
To pacify Yanzhou, with such good reputation and advantages, facing south, this is what the Xiaoguo Army should do.
"Don't worry about them, what we need to do now is to rectify the prefectures gathered from southern Hebei and Qingzhou, and to govern the river. As for the war in the south, we will keep it for the back view for now. The three-party war, no, there will be a future war in the future.
It may be that the four sides are fighting. In the short term, it is not easy to decide the winner. When they are almost done, my Xiaoguo Army will also take action. That is the time for us to make a difference."
Zhao Xun said.
"Situ Liang, what you have to do now is to win over the generals in the palace army and let them follow our wishes."
"Lord, what about the spies around the generals of the palace? Do you need to be cleared?"
"It doesn't matter. These people can cover up their whereabouts for our people. The more spies, the more headache Xu Jie has." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
…………
Yanzhou City, General's Mansion.
Sure enough, within two days, another news came that the third guard team he arranged in Liangzhou Prefecture was captured by the Tang army, and the entire army was killed, and even the chief general Lin Yi was killed in battle.
In addition, Ding Qiang also understood the reason for the failure of the two teams the previous time. It was really a problem with the government army. It quietly broke through the flanks of the guards and caught the guards off guard.
"What did you say? Hu Guang and Liao Jun surrendered to Tang Jun?" Ding Qiang stared at Ding Yi who he sent with red eyes and shouted sternly.
As Ding Qiang's closest personal guard, Ding Yi was also frightened by Ding Qiang's appearance. He said anxiously: "General, when I arrived in Qixiang, Shangqiu and other places, I had already received news that the two Guidelangs were
The general has surrendered to the enemy. Originally, his subordinates couldn't believe it, thinking it was the enemy's conspiracy. But his subordinates did see that the two generals surrendered our surrendered soldiers for the Tang army in various places, and at the same time...
Some officers who refused to serve the Tang army were also executed. These were ordered by two generals themselves.”
"Bastard, these two ungrateful bastards. Lin Yi could die in the battlefield, but they became prisoners and surrendered to the enemy. The information was sent back to Yongzhou and killed the nine clans. Also, it was not said that you were careful of the side of the army.
Is that? Why are you still caught off guard?" Ding Qiang roared.
Ding Yishou said: "Report to the general, when General Lin Yi was defending the city, an internal thief opened the city gate and let the enemy rush in. This made..."
"Xu Jie, this must be Xu Jie's idea. Damn it! I will never stop with you! I will definitely take down your dog head in the future." Ding Qiang said sternly again.
"The general calmed down. Although Liangzhou Prefecture failed, for us, the loss was eight thousand soldiers. In comparison, we went to ruin more than 15,000 soldiers in the palace. No matter how we counted it, we were not suffering a loss.
.” Ye Feiyu said. The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief. Ding Qiang was strong and had a bad temper. When he got angry, innocent people would often suffer.
"Stop the anger! Eight thousand people are gone, you say calm down! Also, if this continues, you won't get the land of Yanzhou. You should know what this means. If this general doesn't get the best, the same will be true for you.
"Ding Qiang said sternly.
Ye Feiyu couldn't help but shook his head secretly. It's true that Ding Qiang can be good at fighting, but as the head coach of one side, I'm afraid it won't work. I can't even control my emotions, so why not talk about anything else?
"General, victory or defeat is common in military affairs! There has never been a perfect thing. Even if Liangzhou Prefecture is lost, it is thrown in the hands of the Yanzhou Army, not in our hands. Yanzhou Army has more troops than us.
If he leaves this, he can't afford to support it. Our rear is in the southwest. Now, we should not worry about us, but the Yanzhou army. If their territory is lost, the government army will have no meaning to exist.
.The Xuzhou Army will never be willing to be blocked by the Tang army, and will definitely fight with it. In any case, our guards are the last fisherman.”
"General, although Hu Guang and Liao Jun surrendered to the enemy, Lin Yi died in battle for the country. We should ask for credit for him!" Ye Feiyu said in a deep voice.
Ding Qiang was stunned and said immediately: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. In short, I will never let him be wronged by our people. In addition, if you bring a thousand Youzhou silver coins, I will talk about this matter.
Some thoughts of all the generals of my Wuwei Army.”
Ding Qiang knew that Ye Feiyu asked him to make clear rewards and punishments. Since he wanted to punish the two of them severely, the third person who died in battle would need to use heavy rewards to form a comparison. Tell everyone that there would be no good end to surrender to the enemy.
"Is there any abnormality in the city? Also, what abnormality does Xu Jie have?"
"This is not, but guards have been strengthened everywhere in the city, and even the night patrols of patrol have increased a lot. The military camps in the city have become much more serious. It seems that they are afraid that we will take any abnormal actions.
.” Ye Feiyu said in a deep voice.
"Strict monitoring! In addition, the news of Xu Jie and Tang Xian colluding with each other and trying to give up Liangzhou Prefecture was spread. The three counties of the Guards were all quietly approached by the Tang army from the flanks, and the Chacha Prefecture was spread.
There was no movement in the military. Xu Jie should take action on these news." Ding Qiang said coldly.
Ye Feiyu smiled and explained to the generals around him: "If he takes action, what else can he do besides a strong counterattack? If he did not respond, he would probably not be supported by the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, as the position of governor of Yanzhou.
If you can't even take care of the interests of your subordinates, you will join forces with the enemy who killed 15,000 of them. If there is no positive and appropriate reasons, no one will support you."
General Gui Delang has always said ruthlessly: "Did you take advantage of the rumors in the city to enter the governor's office and solve the Yanzhou governor. We will replace it? In this way, aren't we controlling the entire Yanzhou? Such a good thing
The opportunity is available!"
Always, the other generals were a little moved, and even Ding Qiang, who was in a state of revenge, was ready to move.
