Xu Jie did turn around and contact with the Tang army envoy Ling He many times, just as Feng Ziming suggested. Ling He naturally knew the intention of his commander Tang Xian, and he also happily accepted Xu Jie's change of heart.
In fact, as Feng Ziming expected, Situ Wen, the envoy of Situ Lei, knew that Xu Jie was not satisfied with the conditions he proposed. He immediately informed Xu Jie that we could continue to discuss the conditions.
Is it? Reconsider.
I have to say that the influence of Situ Lei, a major force, is obviously higher than that of the Tang army in Xu Jie's heart. Perhaps because of the tense situation in front of him, Xu Jie immediately left the Tang army again and turned to Situ Wen.
Negotiation.
Ling He was furious and it would be fine if he was fooled once, but how could he be willing to be played one after another? Ling He immediately took the troops of the Tang army envoy to evacuate Yanzhou City.
After Feng Ziming learned of the situation, he sighed bitterly. Xu Jie had blocked a road and established an absolute strong enemy. Even the inspectors from the southern prefectures and inspected the troops.
Ji Yun, who resisted the Wuwei Army, rushed back to the Governor's Office. After learning about it, he also lamented. After learning about the incident, he could only sigh that Xu Jie was confused.
Perhaps because of the tense atmosphere in Yanzhou City, the weather was not beautiful, and it started to drizzle. Zhao Xun, Lin Menglong, Wei Dong and others were still on the small building, watching the scenery of Yanzhou City in the rain from afar.
After a while, Lin Menglong sighed, "I don't know if Yanzhou City can be passed. Yanzhou's capital may be the first place in Yanzhou to break out in war!"
Zhao Xun looked at the streets and alleys outside the misty walls and some pedestrians who were walking quickly and quickly, and said lightly: "Xu Jie is panicked! The battle in Yanzhou City is inevitable, but the size of the range can still be controlled."
"I'm afraid it's not just Yanzhou City. Tang Xian from Liangzhou Prefecture is also going to act! He has been fooled by Xu Jie twice. It would be really strange if he hadn't acted yet." Wei Dong said with a smile.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but shook his head. Speaking of which, the first time this Tang army envoy was fooled was related to him. However, no matter what, Xu Jie and Tang Xian are completely hostile now. Tang Xian wants to seize the land of Yanzhou
, it depends on force to solve it. Then, the first enemy south of the Xiaoguo Army will not have the opportunity to develop and grow stably. It goes without saying that the Xuzhou Army will be very good at fighting with the Wuwei Army.
* is inevitable. What Zhao Xun is thinking about now is how to reverse the situation of defeating the Wuwei Army and Shence Army in the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, and obtaining benefits in the Prefecture Army.
"Several masters! Master Feng Zimingfeng, the Chief of the Governor's Office, came to visit!" At this moment, the guards outside the office reported.
"Feng Ziming? What did he come to us for this time? Even if he asks us for help, he knows that we cannot interfere with the current situation in Yanzhou." Lin Menglong said with a frown.
"Go and invite Lord Feng in, come here!" Zhao Xun said to the guards lightly.
"It seems that Feng Ziming has seen Xu Jie's essence clearly and knows that he is unreliable." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"The lord means that Feng Ziming is not going to serve Xu Jie?" Lin Menglong said in surprise.
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "The Yanzhou Prefecture Army has now entered the Jedi. Feng Ziming has not worked, and it cannot change the ending. Only Xu Jie can decide the direction of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, not him. As for how he
I thought, it depends on his remarks for a while."
"Mr. Li, we're meeting again!" Feng Ziming said in a deep voice when he saw Zhao Xun, deliberately adding to the word Li.
"Master Feng! Mr. Li didn't expect that in this time, in this weather, Master Feng neither handled the official duties of the Governor's Office nor rested at home, but came to us. Master Feng, please!" Zhao Xun was calm and calm.
Feng Ziming raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nothing.
After the three of them sat down, Zhao Xun looked at the scene in the rain along the window, while Lin Menglong savored the tea slowly. Feng Ziming wanted to say something, but looking at the two of them, the corners of his mouth twitched.
I couldn't say anything.
"Master Feng, you still lose confidence in Xu Jie and Governor Xu, right?" Suddenly, Li Feng's voice came from Feng Ziming's ear, interrupting the question he was thinking about.
"Oh...what?" Feng Ziming asked in a suspicious manner.
"Governor Xu has no ambition or courage. More importantly, he is still dizzy now and doesn't know where he should go. You suggested that he join forces with Tang Xian and stand on the ground in Yanzhou.
Didn't it be implemented? Has it been said that, for your Yanzhou Prefecture Army, the alliance between Xu Jie and Tang Xian is actually the best way. Tang Xian and you are among all the forces in Yanzhou, with weak foundations
.Wouldn't it be nice to join forces with Tang Xian, and not worry about being annexed to each other, weakly connected, and expelling the south together?" Zhao Xun said slowly.
"Governor..."
"If your Yanzhou governor Xu Jie did not have the courage to imitate the monarch of Shu and imitate Tang Xian, he should not have to fight against the Wuwei Army. Wouldn't it be great to surrender to the Wuwei Army? Since you are determined to be the lord of one side, there is no way back.
The Wu Weijun did not accept it, and now he has become an enemy. Situ Lei cannot give actual support. Of course, he cannot give it to him. Tang Xian was angry with you again, tsk... Yanzhou Prefecture Army is in danger!" Zhao Xun interrupted
Le Feng Ziming said with a sneer when he wanted to defend himself.
Feng Ziming was speechless when he heard this, not knowing what to say.
"Master Feng, do you think about the way out of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army and the people of Yanzhou City under the raindrops?" Zhao Xun asked with a smile.
Feng Ziming's face turned right, he slowly paused, and said, "Mr. Li is too worried. I, Feng Ziming, is just a small chief of the governor's office. This is a major event for the Yanzhou Prefecture Army.
It's not what I can do. What's the arrangement above? I will naturally follow the order. By the way, Lord Li, since the war in Yanzhou is about to begin, the Yanzhou city may also be in the midst of war, why is the Xiaoguo Army's business?
The Si has not evacuated yet? Lord Li has not evacuated yet? Is Lord Li also interested in the battle in Yanzhou City?"
Zhao Xun leaned forward slightly and said in a deep voice: "Master Feng, do you think it is useful to test me now? I am an outsider. For me, the land of Yanzhou, no loss will be made to me.
Can you bear it for you?"
Feng Ziming's face changed a few times. He looked at Zhao Xun and said, "Li Feng is not your life! Since he is here, why not tell his identity?"
"Is this important? What is identity has no effect on you, right?" Zhao Xun said lightly.
Feng Ziming felt a little frustrated. He always felt that he was suppressed by this young man named Li Feng, but what the other party said was not unreasonable, and he had nothing to say.
"Okay, I don't care about these. So, Lord Li, in your opinion, what should I do with my Yanzhou Prefecture Army?" Feng Ziming said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Can you be the leader of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army? Please ask when you think about it!"
Feng Ziming's face suddenly turned pale. The other party's words were obvious. As long as Xu Jie was the position of governor, no matter how well he planned here, it would be useless. It was completely a fantasy. Because Xu Jie would not follow his steps at all.
Walk.
"You asked me to get rid of Xu Jie? This is impossible!" Feng Ziming said in a trembling voice.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "No, it's not about getting rid of him, but about giving orders on his behalf! How about it? Can you do it? As long as you replace Xu Jie, the problem is actually very simple, right? You have thought of these things for a long time.
It’s just that you don’t want to change where you want.”
Feng Ziming shook his head and said, "No, I'm giving orders on his behalf? Isn't it just to get rid of him? Otherwise, do you think that just by placing him under house arrest can order the Yanzhou Prefecture Army? The forces in Xu Jie's hands are definitely not something I can resist.
.”
Zhao Xun laughed and said, "Sure enough, you have thought about replacing Xu Jie a long time ago, but you are just worried that you can't play with him."
Feng Ziming's face darkened and he said, "Even if that's the case, I never thought of replacing him." As he said, a little bit of gratitude appeared on Feng Ziming's face, "I dare not say that I was valued by the governor, but Xu
The governor did have kindness to me. I have also considered to put him under house arrest and resolve the situation in Yanzhou first. However, the success rate is extremely low."
Zhao Xun said: "So, Lord Feng, how many soldiers and horses can you control in your hands? Your own!"
Feng Ziming smiled bitterly and said, "There are tens of thousands of people under my jurisdiction, and only about five thousand people are truly controlled. The remaining five thousand were allocated after the Governor cleaned up the spies a month ago. These five thousand people, in theory, were all
It is temporarily entrusted to my name, and will be redistributed after the new captain is selected. Speaking of which, the government army is no longer the government army, and its organization has begun to move closer to the guards."
"Five thousand people, things are not easy to handle! But it is not impossible to handle!" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
Feng Ziming's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh? Please teach me Master Li! I am so grateful!"
Zhao Xun said: "Although it is not beneficial to our Xiaoguojun at all, the stable Yanzhou is still beneficial to our business department's commerce."
Feng Ziming pursed his lips secretly, isn't it good? If it's not good, your Xiaoguo Army will come here with a gaze? Do you don't want Yanzhou to fall into the hands of the Wuwei Army, or in other words, you don't want to fall into the hands of Murong Cheng
It's true. Of course, Feng Ziming would not say this directly.
"That is, kill Situ Lei's envoy! It is worthwhile to repair the Xuzhou army and the Tang army well! Your biggest enemy now is the Wuwei army, and the Tang army is second, and the Xuzhou army is not worth worrying about." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"This..." Feng Ziming pondered. Speaking of which, he had the idea of killing Situ Wen, but how to explain to Xu Jie afterwards, how to make Xu Jie accept the repairs with the Tang army and the Xuzhou army, and how to make the Tang army not do anything afterwards.
Being angry about the previous two incidents is also an equally difficult problem.
At this moment, Wei Dong walked over quickly and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the war in Liangzhou Prefecture has begun!"
Zhao Xun had expected this situation long ago, and was not very surprised. Feng Ziming, who was thinking, said anxiously: "What's going on? What's going on in Liangzhou Prefecture?"
At Zhao Xun's instructions, Wei Dong received information from Xiao Guojun.
Since last time, in order to remove the suspicion from Xu Jie, the government army asked the government army to raid the Tang army, defeated the Tang army in Gucheng, and recovered Gucheng County. Since then, the two armies have arrived and have not had a good time. Then, Tang Xian
He sent his subordinate Linghe to Yanzhou City to negotiate with Xu Jie, preparing to join forces with the two armies to fight against the south guards and Xuzhou Army.
After the first Tang army envoy was fooled, Tang Xian was not in a hurry to get angry with the government army and was still waiting for the return of Yanzhou City. But the Tang army was not unprepared. The Tang army units were closely trained and gathered military supplies. On the other hand, they collected
The information of the counties in Liangzhou Prefecture and the installation of spies in the counties to bribe the unsuccessful and greedy officers in the army.
This time, the Tang army envoy was played with again, and Ling He also left in anger. However, the commanders of the Liangzhou Prefecture were not prepared. First, they did not get information from Yanzhou City. Second, they did not expect that the Tang army would have any
What action?
As a result, Linghe had just left Yanzhou City less than three days ago and had not left the jurisdiction of the prefecture army, the Tang army launched a large-scale attack. In just a few days, with the response from the inside and some slogans of tax reduction and exemption from the Tang army, Gucheng,
Linyi, Leping and Faping counties were all lost. Only the southernmost one was the last one to get the news. Liaocheng, which was prepared, had not been taken down by the Tang army. But according to the current situation of the Tang army and the government army
Judging from the reaction, it is not a difficult problem to win these two counties.
"How could this happen?" Feng Ziming said in a daze.
Zhao Xun shouted coldly: "Do you think Tang Xian is a soft persimmon? Even the general of the Xinwu Guard Ding Qiang dared to be humiliated lightly. The envoy sent by Tang Xian was humiliated in your Yanzhou City all the time. If he had no reaction at all
That's strange! Since your Yanzhou Prefecture Army does not unite with him, he also knows the current situation of your Yanzhou Prefecture Army. Instead of giving it to Murong Cheng for free, it's better to start the first step and talk about the previous part.
Just the beginning, if you really fight the Wuwei Army, even the Xuzhou Army, which has always been weak, will show its fangs and chew a few bites in Yanzhou. You, think it through yourself before talking about it.”
Zhao Xun was also a little annoyed about Tang Xian's rapid offensive. If Tang Xian really saw the benefits of siege and the weakness of the government army, he would probably be out of control, and it would be difficult to appease him at that time. Then, Yanzhou
It will be even more difficult to plan the land.
Feng Ziming left Lin Menglong's mansion in dismay, and even the raindrops fell on his body, he remained indifferent. The guards around him didn't know what was going on with his own master. Why did he come to the residence of the Xiaoguo Army official?
It became like this.
"Lord, Feng Ziming is not going to be straightforward! If things go on like this, the land of Yanzhou will be really divided up by both parties, or even three parties. This is a bit bad for us."
Wei Dong whispered.
Zhao Xun sighed and said, "There is nothing to do. Feng Ziming can't make up his mind, so we can only watch. However, even if the Tang army and the Wuwei army divide Yanzhou equally, they will not live in peace. How can we say,
It is much better than the Wu Guards' monopoly. If you really have to force them, you can only assist the Tang army and counterattack the Wu Guards'."
Sure enough, in the evening, Xu Jie sent someone to invite Feng Ziming to the Governor's Office to discuss matters. When he met Xu Jie this time, Feng Ziming found that Xu Jie was no longer as heroic as a month ago. Month ago, Xu
How heroic when dealing with internal spies, it is now like an old man who needs help. He seems to have more wrinkles on his forehead, and there seems to be a lot of white hair between his temples. Seeing this, Feng Ziming couldn't help but feel in his heart.
He sighed. Xu Jie's close staff often handled some confidential matters for Xu Jie and had the supervision and intelligence. Ji Yun was also here.
When he saw Ji Yun last time, Feng Ziming felt that this person was different from ordinary people and seemed to surprise him without any surprise. But now, he seemed to be full of sorrow.
You didn't expect that after you left for half a month, Yanzhou City would almost change the sky. Looking at Ji Yun with a bitter face, Feng Ziming thought to himself.
"Sit down! Ji Yun, talk about the emergency military information I just received!" Xu Jie said bitterly.
"Everyone, we have just received the information about the northern war report, which is related to the Liangzhou Prefecture. Five days ago, the Tang army attacked the counties of Liangzhou Prefecture. By the day when the information came, except for Liaocheng, the two counties of Boping were still there.
Except for our army, the other counties were taken down by the Tang army." Ji Yun said in a deep voice.
"What?"
"How dare Tang army do this?"
Dozens of chief officers said angrily, either angry, surprised, or frightened.
"Although Shanyang Prefecture has sent reinforcements to support these two counties, the situation is still not good. The war has begun. If you want to stabilize, it will be impossible at that time. From now on, all departments will step up their preparations for me, and I don't want it to appear.
Anything wrong. I can't ignore your little moves on weekdays, but now the situation is different. If anyone drags me back, he will definitely be killed!" Xu Jie said sternly.
Ji Yun continued: "I believe you have already understood the current situation of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. If you think you cannot lead the army, you can raise it now so as not to regret it when you ask. Now, the Governor will not care about it.
I will arrange for capable people to take office and replace you and fight to the death of Yanzhou. If I don’t mention it now, if anyone dares to delay military aircraft in the future, I will not blame me for being ruthless under the sword.”
There is no way Ji Yun said this. No matter how much the Yanzhou Prefecture Army is reorganized, its essence is still the prefecture army. The officers were originally commanders of various prefectures and counties. Most of them were officials who had never been to the battlefield, and even generals
They are not considered to be civil servants. They are fine on weekdays, and they have nothing to do. But now, the situation is urgent. If these people are still allowed to go to the battlefield, the result will not be much better.
At this time, Feng Ziming was also shocked. At this time, he realized that the government army was really so unbearable. As the young man named Li Feng said, the government army and the Tang army were the weakest.
If the territory is small, if the government army has a large number of troops and a large territory, there are almost few people who are truly capable.
