Speaking of which, this is not the rule during the establishment of the Yan State. It is just because in the middle period of the Great Yan State, the ministers were powerful and the lords were strong, and the local civil servants were all backing the six ministers of the court and the left and right prime ministers. Later, the emperor took office,
In order to suppress the power of the prime minister and consolidate the power of the imperial power, the Xuanfu envoy of a state stripped away the actual control of the prefectures and counties and became an inspector. At this moment, this unreasonable system is fatal
Of course, if the Xuanfu envoy also had real power, similarly, the rebellion that should be rebelled and the rebellion that should be rebelled, but if there are two people in power in a state, they will definitely fight for one.
"Okay, you have seen the current situation, let's talk about it, how should we deal with it? Feng Ziming, you are the most smart here, you can tell me!" Xu Jie looked at Feng Ziming with a deep voice.
Say.
Feng Ziming put away the distracting thoughts in his heart, bowed slightly, and said, "Governor, as Ye Xuan Commander said, the rumor is definitely not a good intention. Among them, the Tang army is the least likely, after all, this is targeting.
For them, the next thing they benefited was the Guards and Xuzhou Army. Of course, it was also possible that the Northern overlord Xiaoguo Army. But no matter what, we must take action now and cannot let rumors spread. Although, the rumors stop.
Yu Zhizhe, but now those who are confused by rumors are not wise men, but soldiers and people who have hatred for the Tang army. What the governor needs most now is to immediately let the guards of Liangzhou Prefecture launch a counterattack against the Tang army.
We give way to the Tang army and go back to the surprise attack, we will definitely have an unexpected effect. In this way, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating."
Xu Jie nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable! Ye Xuan immediately gave Liangzhou Prefecture a decree to a commander, asking them to launch a counterattack. They must be surprised and win a big victory. By the way, tell them not to be right.
The main force of the Tang army or Tang Xian himself took action. This person has been through the battlefield for a long time and is by no means a simple person. Let the people from Linyi and Leping counties prepare to take action, first cut off the Tang army's food and grass, and attack from the flanks. Leping, Faping, Liaocheng,
In the four counties, the combined army attacked the Tang army's rescue soldiers. Don't be fond of fighting or greedy for the results of the battle. If you win, you will return and hold on to the city."
"I understand!" Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Feng Changshi, in your opinion, which force behind this design is the most suspicious?" Xu Jie asked Feng Ziming with a smile.
Feng Ziming's heart trembled slightly and said, "This, my subordinates cannot be sure of it, but in his subordinates' eyes, the guards are the most likely, because in Yanzhou, in addition to the prefectures, the guards have the greatest power and occupy the Dayi name.
If our government army is in chaos, then the guards can take advantage of the situation to recruit the government army and become the master of Yanzhou. Of course, if the truth is revealed, it is not easy for the guards to recruit our government army. Even if it is not revealed
, It will take a month to restore the combat power it deserves, and at this time, the Tang army and the Xuzhou army will surely gain greater benefits."
"The second is the Xuzhou army. If the rumors are together, our army will not be in chaos, so we need to fight the Tang army. In this way, the pressure on the Xuzhou army will be less and there will be more room for maneuver. If it is in chaos, they will also
It can make a profit. However, they will have to take on the Yanzhou Army that will do their best in the future."
"The end is the Xiaoguo Army, but the possibility is relatively small. The Xiaoguo Army has no time to look south, so naturally I hope that the more chaotic Yanzhou, the better, and not be pacified by one side as soon as possible. Even if it is pacified, it will be best after a long war.
I don’t want this Yanzhou land to fall into the hands of the guards.”
Xu Jie nodded, frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "What you said is reasonable, go down and prepare. The army in the city and the camp outside the city must also be prepared day and night. Although the possibility of the guards taking action is not high, it is also
We have to be careful. Now, in Yanzhou City, only the guards can have the opportunity to take action."
After everyone left, Ji Yun appeared in the hall again. Xu Jie, who frowned, asked slowly: "Can you see, whose person Feng Ziming is?"
Ji Yun also frowned slightly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "The Xuzhou Army and the Xiaoguo Army are both possible! Since the governor knows that he is a person attracted by the hostile forces, why are he still there?"
Xu Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Where is my future path? I haven't known yet? You said, which party I am the most suitable one to join now!"
Ji Yun shook his head and said, "It depends on the governor's idea. The Tang army cannot be, nor the guards cannot be. Then, the next ones are the Xuzhou army, Situ Lei and Xiaoguo army."
Xu Jie said in a low voice: "The Tang army, the guards have a grudge against our government army and cannot surrender. But Situ Lei is too far away, and the Xiaoguo army has no time to look south. Wouldn't that mean that I can only choose the Xuzhou army?"
"If the governor just protects himself, either side can do it." Ji Yun said with a smile.
"Haha... I don't have the strength to protect myself, which side will accept me? What they want is the Yanzhou Prefecture Army and Yanzhou, not me." Xu Jie shook his head and said.
..............
Five days later, Zhao Xun, who was inspecting Qingzhou, received information from Yanzhou. After seeing the above situation in Yanzhou and the request from the Shadow Department, Zhao Xun absolutely entered Yanzhou in person to manipulate the situation in Yanzhou, and at the same time, he also won over Yanzhou.
Governor Xu Jie.
"The lord wants to go in person? No, this is too dangerous!" Wei Dong said in shock when he heard this.
Zhao Xun said: "The situation in Yanzhou has changed several times in a day. It takes too late to ask for instructions from the Shadow Department. After my instructions arrived, the situation had already changed. In addition, the governor of Yanzhou also recognized his situation.
We started to choose a partner to seek refuge. If we let him turn to others, our preparations in Yanzhou will be completely useless, and we will set up a strong obstacle on our way south."
"But, this is too dangerous! This..."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Dangerous? After starting his career in the past, when wasn't it dangerous? Don't worry, Yanzhou is now in chaos, and I won't notice that I'm mixed in. The situation in Yanzhou has reached a critical point and cannot be careless at all.
.This opportunity for our Xiaoguo Army to develop greatly without having to use one soldier or one soldier can not be lost.”
Immediately, Zhao Xun asked Wei Dong to continue to inspect the Yellow River area of Qingzhou under his own name. After sending a message to Youzhou City, he immediately took people to secretly head towards Yanzhou.
..............
After Tang Xian seized the three counties and four cities of Liangzhou Prefecture, he did not immediately advance south, but instead put in the control of the three counties. The soldiers of the prefectures in the south and west did not attack the Tang army. In short,
Both sides stayed calmly in their respective areas.
Tang Xian opened the passage as promised, allowing his army to raid the guards from the flanks, and then after a great victory, Tang Xian felt a surge of thought in his mind to win over the government, at least to achieve cooperation. Then, he sent him
The man secretly went to Yanzhou City to prepare for negotiations with Xu Jie.
However, just a few days after the envoy left, the counterattack of the government troops began. First, the government troops in the west dispatched to cut off the grain route of Gucheng County and intercepted the grain and grass. After receiving the news, Gucheng County guards immediately sent them out
Reinforcements. But the result is naturally self-evident, and it would be a big loss. It would be fine if it was just like this. But Gucheng, which sent reinforcements, was defeated by the army outside the city with the response of internal response.
In just half a month, the city that was taken away by the Tang army finally returned to the hands of the government army. The only difference is that the defenders here were the guards here in the past, and today they were the government army.
After hearing this, Tang Xian was furious and prepared for a large army to conquer. However, after receiving the news of Yanzhou City, he dismissed the attack. He understood that the reason why the government army acted was because of the rumor. What he needed was
It reached an agreement with the government army, rather than being completely hostile to the government army, becoming an endless enemy, hostile, and command was not conducive to his own control of Yanzhou. He still hoped that his envoy would be able to negotiate well with Xu Jie. Sure enough, he did not fight back, and
The government troops also stopped and did not continue to attack.
The actions of Liangzhou Prefecture made the rumors self-defeating. The Guards' idea played a role, but it was far less powerful than they thought. The Tang army lost the city they had just obtained and did not counterattack immediately. And just captured a county.
In the land, the soldiers of the mansion who washed away the rumors had no intention of continuing to attack.
Ding Qiang felt that he had miscalculated. Not only did he think of the goal that he had not achieved, he also clearly showed his hostility to the government army. The strict guards and frequent mobilizations of the government army in the city told him that the government army was ready to fight him hard.
