"How's it going? Have you found out which force Feng Ziming is connected with?" Xu Jie sat steadily on the main seat, sipping tea carefully. Xu Jie's aide Ji Yun sat opposite Xu Jie, showing no signs of it.
There were several men in black standing under the council hall.
"Reporting to the Governor, my subordinates have not found out yet. However, the people who entered his residence were people from the Xuzhou Army and the Wei Army. In addition, there seemed to be people from the Xiaoguo Army. But they were all normal visits and nothing was found.
Something unusual.”
Xu Jie frowned slightly and said, "Go down and continue to investigate. Don't go too far."
After the man in black left, Xu Jie smiled bitterly and said: "This Feng Ziming is indeed a veteran in officialdom. He has really hidden himself deep enough. Until now, my people have not found out who he is working for?"
Ji Yun slowly put down the blue and white tea cup in his hand and said: "Why can't he work for you, the governor? He is the long history under your command, the governor."
Xu Jie shook his head and said: "If it had been before, I wouldn't have doubted it. It was this Feng Ziming who gave me the plan to order the government troops to get out of the way and use the hands of the Tang army to attack the guards. Your mother was ill at home at the time.
"Take care of it, I haven't told you yet. Tell me, is this plan good or bad for me?"
Ji Yun smiled and said: "Although the Governor has never told me, these days, I also know the ins and outs of the matter. This plan is indeed beneficial and harmful to the Governor. But it also cancels the plan of the Guards, and also
This weakened the power of the guards. At the same time, the generals of the northern army also
Among the schools, everyone's hearts were won. If the guards hadn't pushed people too hard, how would the generals of the government army have agreed to this opinion? Would they have allowed the Tang army to enter? Neither the Tang army nor the guards were good people. To us, they were both
He is the enemy. Why not let the enemy attack the enemy?"
"But as soon as this plan comes out, it will be tantamount to completely confronting the Guards. From now on, we will need to face the attacks from two or even three parties alone. In this way, it will be even more difficult to survive.
I think the governor now has the intention to join one side. Perhaps, this is also what Feng Ziming wants."
"Catch?" Xu Jie asked in a deep voice.
Ji Yun shook his head and said: "It depends on what the governor thinks. If the governor wants to take full control of the army and do something big, these people will naturally be arrested immediately. If not, then they must look after the people behind them.
Is this person what the governor is looking for?"
…………
For several days in a row, the atmosphere in Yanzhou City has been tense, and the relationship between the guards and the government army has suddenly become much more serious. After all, Yanzhou Mansion is the seat of Yanzhou government and the core of the government army. Even if it is
The general of the Wei Army occupied the right position and established his headquarters here, but he still could not change the situation that this was the territory of the imperial army.
In the past, when the guards went out and acted recklessly in the streets and bullied others, the government troops would not control them. But now, the government troops are absolutely rude. If we fight, we have more people. If we use force, we have more people. If you dare to do anything, I will do it.
Move you. Ding Qiang feels more and more that Yanzhou City is getting farther and farther away from him, and his influence on Yanzhou City is getting weaker and weaker.
Some generals who were attracted by Ding Qiang were executed, dismissed, or transferred to idle positions by Xu Jie on various charges. For a time, Ding Qiang in Yanzhou City only had 5,000 guards at his disposal.
But he is far from being an opponent of the government army. Seeing the government army's tough attitude, Ding
Qiang didn't dare to let the guards do anything wrong anymore. Because now, not only the government troops dared to be rude to them, but also ordinary people who were bullied by them should respond with fists, not for anything else, but because they had the support of the government troops.
.In a short period of time, Xu Jie's reputation among the people of Yanzhou has greatly increased.
At the same time, Zhao Xun arrived at Yanzhou City, and Tang Xian's envoys also sneaked into Yanzhou City. If it weren't for the presence of guards in the city, Tang Xian's envoys would not have entered the city quietly, but would have attacked directly.
Raised the flag and entered the city.
In the east of the city, there is a well-known restaurant with a very grand name, Heroes Building. It only accepts dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. Ordinary people cannot afford it. Ling He, the envoy of the Tang Army, settled here, and of course the fight was
north
The merchant's banner. Because the Xiaoguo Army distributes a large amount of cheap salt in Yanzhou Prefecture, merchants from all over Yanzhou often come here to pick up their goods. Spies from all sides often use this banner to operate in Yanzhou City, and the government army repeatedly prohibits it.
Ling He knew his master's goal. After settling in the Hero Building, he did not rush into action. Instead, he quietly inquired about the current situation in Yanzhou City, rested for two days, and then decided to start negotiations with Xu Jie.
After learning that the Fu army was now in conflict with the Wei army and was no longer as peaceful as it used to be, Ling He had some hope for the success rate of his action. The more the Fu army got into trouble with the Wei army, the more the Fu army became more quarrelsome with the Wei army.
The greater the pressure on the army, the more your alliance will help the government army.
"Sir, are we going to visit Xu Jie directly now?"
Ling He shook his head and said: "No, you should immediately go to the governor of Yanzhou, Shi Fengziming, to send a letter of greeting. We want to find out Xu Jie's intentions through Fengziming."
"Feng Ziming? He is just a long history..." the entourage said suspiciously. Most long history officials are appointed by the imperial court, and they may not necessarily be aligned with the governor. Now Xu Jie, the governor of Yanzhou, is definitely not aligned with the imperial court.
Ling He smiled and said: "This Feng Ziming is not an ordinary person. In addition, the idea of the government army giving way to our army and attacking the Wei army was proposed by him. It can be adopted by Xu Jie and involved in major military affairs. This Fengzi
Ming is definitely one of Xu Jie's many cronies."
After Feng Ziming received Ling He's invitation, he smiled secretly and went to meet Ling He without hesitation. But after Ling He talked with Feng Ziming for a while, he realized that Feng Ziming was definitely an old fool.
Slippery and not easy to deal with. Faced with several of his own temptations, Feng Ziming did not make any move.
He responded positively. But Feng Ziming also said secretly that the conflict between the governor Xu Jie and the guards was so intense that they almost wanted to fall out. Ling He understood that Feng Ziming was telling him that the alliance was not impossible. After all, nowadays,
The government army is almost surrounded by enemies on all sides and really needs foreign aid.
After getting the reply that Feng Ziming would convey their thoughts to Xu Jie, Ling He, who had been suppressed by Feng Ziming and was a little depressed, said goodbye and left.
"Interesting? The envoys of the Tang Army are here. I wonder if my words will make them think they have a chance of victory and suppress the governor with a big mouth? Come on!"
"Master!" The housekeeper of the inner palace appeared in front of Feng Ziming, waiting for Feng Ziming's words.
"Go tell the Guards, Xuzhou Army and Xiaoguo Army that the envoys from the Tang Army's Peace Talks Alliance are ready to meet with the Commander-in-Chief of our army!" Feng Ziming said calmly.
…………
"How is it? Do you still think that Feng Ziming is an easy guy to get along with?" Ling He said coldly.
The three assistant envoys who followed Ling He to meet Feng Ziming looked embarrassed. After a while, one of them said: "Sir, this Feng Ziming is too cunning and cunning to deal with. We have been suppressed by him after talking for a long time.
, not only didn’t ask anything but didn’t say anything, they also inquired a lot about our situation.”
Ling He said depressedly: "Yes, talking to literati is much more difficult than fighting. But it's good, we now also know the situation of the government army and the guard army, which has won a lot for our peace talks with Xu Jie
advantages.”
"Huh?" As soon as he entered the Hero Building and before he returned to his room, Ling He looked sideways. In the corner of the second floor, in the semi-open boxes with two compartments, several young people were looking at the people outside the building.
Plot, talk about it non-stop.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Ling He stop, the entourage around him couldn't help but be startled.
"Nothing? Let's go!" Ling He said casually. But in his mind, he was still thinking about the young man among the dozens of people who did not understand. The other party just sat there casually.
He glanced at himself and felt a little bit of pressure on himself.
No, these people are definitely not ordinary people. Although their expressions seem to be watching and discussing the scene outside the building, they are focusing their attention on their surroundings. These people are definitely not ordinary people. If he hadn't been on a mission, Ling would have
He will definitely have a deep relationship with each other.
"Young Master! According to the investigation by the brothers from the Shadow Division, these people should be from the Tang Army." Seeing Ling He go upstairs, a person next to the young man whispered.
"A member of the Tang Army? It seems that this Tang Xian is not an economical lamp. He can withstand the attacks of the government troops on him without taking action. This not only allows Xu Jie to communicate with each other, but also reduces the hostility of the government troops towards him." The young man Shen said.
said the voice.
A waiter hurriedly walked into the room, handed these people a note, asked if they needed anything, and left immediately.
"Young Master! The people from the Shadow Division sent information that the envoys from the Tang Army Peace Talks Alliance have arrived here and are preparing for peace talks with Xu Jie. Feng Ziming has already passed the news to the Fu Army, the Wei Army and the Xuzhou Army." He took it.
The young man who was selling things to the waiter said in a deep voice after looking at the things in his hands.
"Oh? This Feng Ziming will spread the message to everyone?" the young man thought slightly.
"Young Master, this Feng Ziming has never clearly expressed his inclination and goal. No one knows what his desired goal is." Someone beside the young man whispered.
The young man smiled and said: "It's not us who should be anxious, we don't need to be anxious. We can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let them make it worse, we are participating. Now, the most important thing is to find out what Feng Ziming's intention is and whether he can win over him.
Getting to him is the key to our victory or defeat."
"Feng Ziming? Is he so powerful and important?"
"Wei Dong, don't underestimate this person. In the past ten days, countless generals have fallen in the government and military system, all because of their connections with various forces. But this Feng Ziming has nothing to do with all the people.
People are connected, but they don't move at all. What does this mean? It seems that we have to meet this Feng Ziming!" the young man said with a smile.
"See Feng Ziming? This is too dangerous! This..." Wei Dong hesitated with a look of embarrassment on his face. This group of people is none other than Zhao Xun and others. This Hero Building was not set up by others, but by others.
The operating address of the Shadow Division in Yanzhou City.
"It doesn't matter, Xu Jie doesn't dare to touch me at all. Besides, I have no intention of meeting Feng Ziming directly and openly under my own name." Zhao Xun said calmly.
Regarding this Feng Ziming, Zhao Xun naturally hopes to win him over to Dao's subordinates. However, from his own observation, this Feng Ziming is definitely not someone who wants to accompany the government army to sink the ship. In other words, what he wants to do is
This is also the direction Xu Jie wants to take. The purpose is the same, but the requirements are different.
"Wei Dong, give our people an order to launch an operation against the guard generals in the city! Peace talks? Then let them have peace talks! By the way, all parties must leave some allocations."
…………
"Tang Xian's envoy? Come to negotiate peace with me?" Xu Jie looked at Feng Ziming, who looked calm, and asked lightly.
"Exactly, the Tang Army envoy went to his subordinate's residence at ten o'clock in the morning to pay his respects and asked me to convey it on his behalf," Feng Ziming said softly.
"The envoy of the Tang Army will come directly to your house and ask you to convey the message on your behalf. It seems that our Lord Chang Shi has a great influence!" Xu Jie said with deep meaning. Naturally, the Governor's Mansion has a special department to receive foreign envoys and superior officials.
Why is it that it is not Chang Shi's turn to take charge of this matter? Especially nowadays, the Yanzhou Prefecture Army is almost a powerful organization of the Communist Party, so it naturally has its own new rules.
Feng Ziming said calmly: "Perhaps the other party already knew that the idea of our army to lend them a channel was the work of my subordinates, so they asked me to convey it on my behalf. In addition, my subordinates also made their own decisions and sent envoys from the Tang Army here.
News of the peace talks was passed to the officials stationed in Yanzhou City by the Wei Army, Xuzhou Army and Xiaoguo Army."
Since the three parties spent the winter last year, all forces have sent officials to Yanzhou City to prepare for peace talks to resolve the Yanzhou issue. However, they were expelled by the Wei Army and the Fu Army because the Tang Army killed prisoners. And the Xiaoguo Army was engaged in the salt business.
, and has always had a government office in Yanzhou City to discuss business issues.
"Passed to all parties? Why so?" Xu Jie said in surprise.
"Both the Tang Army and the Xuzhou Army are interested in peace talks, but the Wei Army is naturally opposed to it. As for the Xiaoguo Army, the goal has not been clear yet. But no matter what, we must occupy a dominant position here. If we want to negotiate, we can, but our army
We must be in a position of superiority and we must not let them make conditions. In short, my subordinates think that we will listen to whose conditions are harmonious. As for what they do and how they fight, it has nothing to do with us." Feng.
Ziming said calmly.
Xu Jie was slightly startled and said with a smile: "That makes sense, but the relationship between our army and the Tang army is extremely bad. It is difficult to negotiate peace..."
Feng Ziming chuckled and said: "The reason why our army has a bad relationship with the Tang Army is because the Tang Army killed prisoners. The reason why the Tang Army killed prisoners is because of the relationship between the Guards."
Xu Jie said with a smile: "You should reply to the envoys who recommended Tang Xian, and I will meet them at the Governor's Mansion three days later."
"In addition, my subordinates also suggested that from now on, we should strengthen the surveillance of the guards to prevent them from doing anything illegal." Feng Ziming continued.
"You mean, the Wei army might attack the Tang army's envoy? In this way, we will occupy a more advantageous position. The Tang army and the Wei army will add hatred to their hatred. Isn't this exactly what we need."
"Having said that, we still have to do what we should do. Whether we succeed or not has nothing to do with us. At least, we are determined."
"Tell me, what does Feng Ziming want to do?" Xu Jie asked Ji Yun, who quietly appeared next to him again.
Ji Yun's eyes lit up and he said solemnly: "Just like the governor!"
"Like me? What's the meaning of this?" Xu Jie said puzzledly.
"When is he looking for a candidate? Isn't that what the governor thinks? However, the Tang army is too weak and can only be an alliance partner, but not a refuge partner." Ji Yun said slowly.
Xu Jie was silent. Ji Yun said that he understood that the Tang army was indeed too weak. If he fell to him, then both sides would be equally strong and weak, regardless of master or subordinate. Tang Xian would not surrender to him, otherwise he would not be able to stand on his own.
For the Tang Army. And even if he wanted to surrender to the other party, he was afraid that his subordinates would not agree. Besides, no leader of the force could allow his subordinates to have the same existence as himself. If he waited for himself, he would only be killed.
"Captain! There is news from the black team!" At this time, a confidential letter came from a close relative.
After Xu Jie opened it, his expression changed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Captain, is someone else involved?" Ji Yun said softly.
Xu Jie put down the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice: "How do you know?"
Ji Yun sat on the chair, shook his body to make himself more comfortable, and then said with a smile: "The governor's face suddenly looked happy and sad, and at this time of preparation for peace talks, wouldn't it be true that someone who has an influence on the governor has appeared again?
The forces are involved."
Xu Jie smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hide it from you. Yes, someone else is involved."
"Situ Lei's people are still Zhao Xun's people!"
"Situ Lei's people!" Xu Jie said in a deep voice, and finally sighed slightly.
"Does the Governor think that Situ Lei's power is too far away from him to provide effective support?" Ji Yundao said.
Xu Jie rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Yes, it is true. If Situ Lei's power can intersect with mine, I won't be so entangled. Situ Lei is indeed a big power, but its main scope of influence is in the west, and even more
What's important is that his current
The main purpose is to pacify the Shu Kingdom, and at least strengthen the management of Yizhou. I am afraid that he will not be able to support me much. But now, Murong Cheng's guards have entered Yanzhou, and we are in an urgent situation. After all, Yuanshui is in trouble
I’m not nearly thirsty!”
"Don't worry, Governor. Nowadays, the Governor is the one that all parties need to fight for. The initiative is still in the hands of the Governor. When the armed guards entered Yanzhou, they lost nearly 20,000 people before and after, and there are still 30,000 people left, but they have to guard the three mansions.
Land. In addition, Murong Cheng will no longer send reinforcements to enter the country.
Otherwise, his situation in Yongzhou will be completely replaced by Situ Lei. Yongzhou and Luoyang are both crucial places, and Murong Cheng can't afford to lose them. Let's wait and see the conditions of all parties before making a choice. Maybe
, things are not as difficult as the governor thought." Ji Yun said with a smile.
Xu Jie shook his head and said, "I hope so!"
ps: I went to pick up the plane today, entertained and played with me, I’m so tired! Before it’s time to close the holiday, the bastards are back! Is their school different from ours during the holidays? Outside, even
I don’t have a list of all parties’ forces, so I temporarily coded a chapter... Hehe...
