"Sir, so far, no trace of the enemy has been found, whether it is us or the reinforcements from all over the country who came to the order. The surrounding villages and forts have not found any trace of the enemy. Have we been looking for the wrong direction?"
Zhong, looking at Wu Meng, who was frowning and sitting quietly, his personal guard Lin Zongyu couldn't help asking.
Because Wu Meng killed several people in a row, the converged officers, the leaders and officers of the Xiangbao Township Warriors were all frightened. Although this could speed up the local town warriors who did not want to be ordered to come, so as to avoid encountering disasters. However, the entire army also made
Up and down, nervous. The entire mixed army of five or six thousand troops was like a tight bowstring. If you were discomfort, you would rebound.
"Where is this government army? It's been two days, but I haven't seen any trace yet! By the way, have the troops coming from all over the place arrived?" Wu Meng rubbed his swollen eyes and said in a muffled voice.
"Yesterday to today, more than 6,000 reinforcements from all over the country arrived, of which more than 4,000 were local garrison troops. But the city garrison troops had not arrived yet." Lin Zongyu said in a low voice.
"Suicheng Guard? Who is the guard?" Wu Meng's face turned cold and she said in a deep voice.
"Sir, Suicheng belongs to Linyi County, which is the southern gateway to Linyi City. I think they are afraid of Linyi's mistakes!" Lin Zongyu looked ugly, and was afraid that he would have murderous intentions, so he hurriedly said.
"Fearing that Linyi will be in trouble? This commander took over the military and political affairs of the counties by the right general. Even Linyi City is under my jurisdiction. Why, just Suicheng, I won't take my... " Wu Meng said
With a slightly changed face, he asked anxiously: "Can the new affiliated troops arrive in the county and townships around Suicheng?"
"Not yet!"
"No! The Yanzhou Prefecture Army should have gone to follow the city! Mobilized us all here, but it appeared hundreds of miles away. OK! OK! We were fooled again!" Wu Meng shouted
He overturned the things on the table to the ground and said with a angrily smile.
"Send the order, the whole army is ready to set off, and the troops are sent to Suicheng!" Wu Meng said with hatred. He now doubted whether Suicheng had an accident, otherwise why there was not even a messenger? But what he was more worried about was Linyicheng.
Although Linyi City had 4,000 garrison troops and more than 3,000 new affiliated troops, he still felt a little frightened. If Linyi was lost, the Tang army would not say that it would attack the south, even if it stabilized Liangzhou Prefecture, it would be a big deal.

…………
The Tang army outside Boping City withdrew, retreating quietly and leaving overnight. This is naturally great news for Boping. If the enemy is gone, Boping no longer has to worry about the danger of breaking the city at any time.
.
The Tang army retreated, but it does not mean that this will not come again next time. How to deal with the city? Now the Tang army is retreating, is it not to pursue? The great hero General Li Feng is still behind the enemy. How to support him? These are all things that need to be considered in Boping City.
.
So, a large group of officials of all sizes in Boping City talked endlessly and each had their own opinions. Most of them insisted on Boping and did not pursue it. After all, they still knew the power of the Tang army. Basically,
Before and after this siege, their casualties and the Tang army were 2 to 1. You must know that they were defending the city and occupied the dangers of the city. Instead, the losses were greater than those of the other party. How could they not be afraid?
Zhang Ting, who was originally brave in combat and regarded as the pillar of the Boping people, also strongly opposed the pursuit of the enemy on the grounds of insufficient military strength and insufficient food and supplies. Ye Xuan, general of the Shanyang Prefecture Army, also made a move with Zhang at this time.
It was quite the same decision. What he meant was that instead of pursuing the Tang army, the consequences were unpredictable, it was better to defend this city, increase the city defense and recuperate the army. Wei Dong, who wanted to pursue the Tang army, was naturally alone and could not support it, so he had to discuss staying behind.
The major event has been decided, and the next thing is to cause some aftermath. Ye Xuan recovered a little, so he naturally had to collect his soldiers. In addition to the nearly 10,000 soldiers supported by Wei Dong, there were 8,000 people in the city, of which only more than 3,500 were mountain.
The Yangfu sent troops to support the place for the first time. They naturally returned to Ye Xuan's command.
Seeing the Tang army withdrawing, Ye Xuan asked Wei Dong to withdraw 5,000 reinforcements first and return to Shanyang Prefecture on the grounds that the city was not enough to support many troops. Wei Dong was willing to stay and pursue the enemy, but he also knew the situation in the city, so he had to respond silently.
, withdrew the soldiers of the two battalions back to Shanyang Prefecture.
Seeing Ye Xuan's arrangement like this, Zhang Ting was naturally very happy, but then he was secretly annoyed. Ye Xuan reorganized the original army in the city, leaving behind 6,000 people, and a total of two battalions. Of course, according to what he said
, it was the governor's order to rectify the troops of various prefectures and guards. Zhang Ting's command had to reduce the number of more than 5,500 people under his command, so he naturally had to reduce the number of people in one battalion of three thousand. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only
In his opinion, this is just a way for Ye Xuan to limit the power in his hands and consolidate his dominance. In addition, this is also a requirement of the Boping City civil service system. After all, with Boping's current situation, he still maintains his
It is not enough to afford too many troops, even if there are 6,000 people under Wei Dong's command, they don't need to support them.
"Sir, why not strip off all the soldiers and horses in Zhang Ting's hands? Such a villain should be killed!"
Wei Dong smiled and said, "How can things be so simple? After the war, let's kill the Boping Guardian first. Do you think that Boping City can be safe? What would the Boping Guardian think
?What will the Boping government think? At that time, if we don’t talk about the Tang army’s attack, we are afraid that we will be in chaos.”
"With General Ye's help now, what are we afraid of? Slowly weaken him! He was quite brave when fighting, but he was too scheming!"
"Yes, this guy who is so heartless is afraid that we and General Ye are on the united front, nor do we know that we have become Xu Jie's abandoned sons." Captain Chen Wenhua said hatred.
"Then, how can we help you, lord?" Chen Wenhua asked anxiously again.
Wei Dong smiled bitterly and said, "When the lord sent me a message, I will explain that there is no need for a large army to go north to support me. I am afraid that the lord would know that Boping did not have the courage to fight back. Of course, insufficient food and supplies are also an important factor. It seems that the lord is facing Liangzhou Prefecture
There is no hope of regaining. Liangzhou Prefecture, after all, was fought hard by the Tang army, so how could they be willing to give in!”
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now I will send someone north to monitor the movements of the Tang army. When necessary, we can take action."
…………
Yanzhou City, the Governor's Office.
"Look, Feng Ziming is really a talent!" Xu Jie threw the report in his hand on the table with a gloomy face.
Everyone in the house was Xu Jie's confidants, and they all knew and agreed with the Xu Jie Alliance's plan to attack the Wuwei Army.
Ji Yun picked up the report and read it, he immediately understood why Xu Jie was so angry. There was nothing special about the report. It can even be said that this was a good news and a happy event. The content was to defeat the Tang army and force the Tang army.
Retreat, basically, Shanyang Prefecture is fine, and the Tang army will not go south, so the governor can rest assured.
If this good news was two months ago, Xu Jie would have been very excited. But now, he would not be able to make any noise. Could he say that I invited the Tang army and asked him to capture Liangzhou Prefecture and Shanyang
The mansion? As long as he dares to say this, he, the governor, may not be able to sit steadily.
Feng Ziming was the commander of the Shanyang Prefecture Army who personally sent out to preside over the Shanyang Prefecture Army and resisted the Tang army. Although he later sent Ye Xuan to make the two of them compete internally, he definitely did not really defeat them.
The Tang army meant that these two abandoned sons who didn't know the truth actually defeated the Tang army, which actually ruined their own major events.
"What a sharp counterattack method! Governor, either he would pull him into the gang or he should have been eliminated." The commander of the commander said in a muffled voice.
Ji Yun shook his head and said, "Will you win over? Didn't you notice it? Ye Xuan was still facing Feng Ziming at the beginning, but now he has also begun to join forces with Feng Ziming. What does this mean? It means that both of them know our plan,
We know that we regard them as abandoned children, we know that we regard tens of thousands of Liangzhou Prefecture Army and Shanyang Prefecture Army as abandoned children, and we also know that we regard Liangzhou Prefecture and Shanyang Prefecture as bargaining chips! You said, these two people
Can you be willing to use it for us? You don’t know that Feng Ziming is a human being. As for Ye Xuan, he is originally from Shanyang Prefecture, and his clans are all in Shanyang Prefecture. He will watch his hometown invaded by the Tang army
?”
Then, Ji Yun said with a little regret: "If Feng Ziming had been killed, maybe things would have been much easier. Will it be like today, and we will lose our power?"
"In addition, Li Feng, who has unknown origin, is a top priority! Since his appearance, Feng Ziming, who is not good at military affairs, has changed greatly. His soldiers have become elites, and they have been with Ye Xuan in the face of his hands.
Together, Hu Zhi took down and controlled the Shanyang Prefecture Army. Moreover, we had nothing to say. After all, no matter who they were, they were the commander of the Shanyang Prefecture Army. This was the governor.
Any action of Hu Zhi in Shanyang Prefecture without the order of the general was a rebellious act, and it was natural that he was suppressed and killed. It was this person who caused the Tang army to suffer another loss this time.
, suffered heavy losses, and lost a lot. Perhaps, when he issued a yelling order to Feng Ziming, he should have sent someone to take him down."
Xu Jie said angrily: "Okay, these things have become the past, and I'll say it's unintentional. Now let's talk about how to deal with this report. I believe that the people in the city and the people along the way have already won the great victory of our army.
There is news of the great defeat of the Tang army. If we don’t respond to those who have made meritorious service, it will be impossible at that time.”
"By the way, all the families in Feng Ziming's mansion disappeared overnight, but what clues can be found?" Xu Jie paused and asked again.
Ji Yun shook his head and said, "No! However, the person who acted should be Feng Ziming. Because there was no sign of damage or forced impact on Feng Ziming's mansion, and there were no traces of struggle and survival everywhere. It should be his Feng
Ziming's family took the initiative to cooperate with each other. I don't think there will be anyone else except Feng Ziming."
Xu Jie said angrily: "We arranged dozens of people to monitor outside Fengziming Mansion, but what happened? Are our people all blind and dozens of people left quietly, but they didn't notice it?
Feng Ziming, who is usually not obsessed with eyes, changed his appearance in a blink of an eye. It’s really amazing! It’s amazing!”
Looking at Xu Jie and laughed in anger, the generals did not dare to say much.
"Governor, now, Feng Ziming's report on defeating the Tang army has been passed. We cannot ignore it. Not only can we ignore it, but we must also give rewards!" Ji Yun said in a deep voice.
"Reward? We will give him a reward? Feng Ziming, this bastard, ruined our big deal! We will give him a reward?" said the commander Ge Cunxin in a muffled voice.
"Then what can you do? Send someone to arrest him? Encircle him? Let everyone in Yanzhou see how we treat the heroes? Let's not talk about this for now, just talk about the strength of the army in his hands. Ge Duwei,
How many people do you need to dare to lead the army behind the Tang army to defeat the enemy city? Do you need to say that few people dare to rob and kill food, supplies, weapons and armor in the enemy city? The current Feng Ziming is not the Feng Ziming you used to see, in his hands.
The 20,000 soldiers were no longer the soldiers of the past. No, it should be said that the 20,000 soldiers in his hands were no longer the 20,000 soldiers in our army could fight against. This is not only the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also the
Their confidence after the victory. I wish I could say something bad, Governor, now in Shanyang Prefecture, I am afraid that the Governor's words are not as good as Feng Ziming." Ji Yun looked at Xu Jie and said in a deep voice
Said.
Xu Jie was speechless. He knew what Ji Yun meant. After Feng Ziming took over Shanyang Prefecture, he also sent someone to ask for support from the Governor's Prefecture. Of course, the army had little support for them, and more were
It was logistics supply, but they were rejected by the Governor's Office for various reasons, so that the soldiers and people in the Shanyang Prefecture were extremely dissatisfied with the Governor's Office. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that Feng Ziming is going to **, Shanyang
Most of the people in the house have supportive attitudes.
"I'm afraid that the so-called request for help on that day was just a plan he used to divide the relationship between the Governor's Office and the local people. After knowing that the Governor's plan, he would not have any hope. But he continued to do so.
Rescue, Governor, it seems that we are all trapped by Feng Ziming." Ji Yun said with a deep smile on his face.
"Then you tell me, how should we reward them now?" Xu Jie took a breath and said in a deep voice.
"Of course it is a praise of honor! Now that the Tang army has been defeated, it is not enough to be a supporter. If the adults put down the knot in their hearts, they can regard Feng Ziming's troops as the force to replace the Tang army. If the adults think that Feng Ziming is not enough
Assisted, he ordered him to be responsible for the recovery of Liangzhou Prefecture. After all, the Tang army was defeated, and the agreement between us and the Tang army was gone. Liangzhou Prefecture naturally became our lost jurisdiction, and now it is naturally to be recaptured.
When the Tang army was defeated and the Shanyang Prefecture Army, they naturally had a deep grudge against Feng Ziming's troops, so they fought each other, and in the end we were reaping profits." Ji Yun suggested.
"Now, let Feng Ziming help, I'm afraid he won't agree. After all, we first set him up and kicked him from the position of the commander of the Shanyang Prefecture Army, and then used him as an abandoned son. I'm afraid that it's not true.
…” Xu Jie did not answer directly, and the commander Luo Kun said.
Seeing that Xu Jie did not speak out loud, Ji Yun sighed in his heart, but explained: "Since Feng Ziming did not directly spread the news that we had with Shanyang Prefecture and Liangzhou Prefecture as abandoned sons, it means that he did not have to.
We meant to be opposite. Furthermore, he resisted the Tang army to the north and naturally did not want to become enemies with us."
Seeing some generals and schools wanting to speak, Ji Yun knew what they were thinking and continued. "Of course, we cannot take the initiative to treat them as enemies. They are the heroes who defeated the Tang army."
"Ji Yun, how are you in contact with the Xuzhou Army?" Xu Jie ignored their discussion on this matter and asked instead.
"It's ready and can be taken anytime."
"You said, can our two armies completely defeat the Wu Guard?" Xu Jie asked in a deep voice.
As soon as he heard Xu Jie's words, Ji Yun knew Xu Jie's choice and said, "Yes, but the losses are not small, especially in the south."
"South? The Xuzhou army will not be able to fall! Since that's the case, I will issue an order to Feng Ziming to let his army recover the Liangzhou Prefecture." Xu Jie ordered coldly.
"The Tang army is so incompetent. Even a mere prefecture army cannot defeat one of the prefectures, but it is still a remnant army!" After the matter, the commander Ge Cunxin murmured in a low voice.
Ji Yun shook his head secretly. The remaining troops could go straight to the enemy's back and break the city and rob the grain. If it were you, would you do it?
