Although I don’t know what the details were from Shanyang Prefecture, several lieutenants knew very well, and it should be related to Xu Jie, Xuzhou Army and Wuwei Army.
On June 6, Xu Jie and the Xuzhou army launched a raid on the Wuwei Army, and operated at the same time in Yanzhou Prefecture, Chenliu Prefecture, and Xingyang Prefecture. The two armies joined forces to launch a strong attack on the Wuwei Army.
In Yanzhou Prefecture, Ding Qiang, the general of the Wuwei Army, had been cautious because of Xu Jie's unsteady. If Xu Jie had acted in Yanzhou City, he would have failed in every possible way, but the one who killed Ding Qiang was always unintentional.
Although Xuzhou soldiers failed to kill Ding Qiang on the spot, they also reached out to seriously injured and almost failed to return to the military camp.
When the Xuzhou army was operating, the Yanzhou Prefecture Army in the city also took action immediately and attacked the Wuwei Army camp around Yanzhou City. It has to be said that the Wuwei Army is still stronger than the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. After Ding Qiang was ambushed, he could still occupy the camp.
Guard.
The offensive and defensive battle lasted for more than three days, and more than half of the more than 13,000 Wu Guards were lost, but the Yanzhou Prefecture Army also left nearly 10,000 corpses. For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate in the Wu Guard camp outside Yanzhou City. Although the Wu Guards gave up
The control of Yanzhou City was all retracted back to the military camp, but the Wuwei Army also built several strong and almost the most important ones.
"It's useless. Be prepared and not prepared. You can still fight like this on your own territory. It's simply..." Guan Lin couldn't help but mutter. Although he was separated from the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, he was also from the Yanzhou area after all.
Now the Wuwei Army is considered an invader, so naturally he is inclined to the Yanzhou Prefecture Army.
Lu Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that the Yanzhou Prefecture Army is useless, but the Wuwei Army itself is better than our Prefecture Army, has good treatment, and has excellent weapons and equipment. The most important thing is that after preparing for so long, the idiot also knows what Xu Jie has.
Ghost idea. Peace talks? It has been four months of peace talks, but there has not been a result yet. Ding Qiang is still not prepared, so he can't become the general of the Wuwei Army."
"Aren't Xu Jie and Xuzhou army afraid that King Murong Cheng of Qi will mobilize a large army from Yuzhou and Yangzhou to fight? By then, let alone Xuzhou army and Yanzhou prefecture army, even if the Tang army is added, they will be at a disadvantage." Li Guochang was cold and cold
Said.
Zhao Xun said indifferently: "They are not afraid. Situ Lei lifted the Imperial Guards and exiled all the Imperial Party and non-Left Prime Ministers in the court to all places. Or they may be dismissed."
"What a Situ Lei. He easily used the Xuzhou army and Xu Jie to attack Murong Cheng. At the same time, he took advantage of Murong Cheng's time to take care of him and took full control of the court." Lu Yu exclaimed immediately.
"That's right, we are all still in the dark. Why are the Xuzhou army? Xu Jie and the Tang army joined forces to attack the Murong Cheng forces in Yanzhou, and regard Situ Lei's envoy as an appearance. Now it seems that Situ Lei has long been with Xu Jie.
Wait for someone to reach an agreement. Okay, no need to say anything, withdraw the troops immediately, return to Shanyang Prefecture, and see the situation change." Zhao Xun said in a muffled voice.
Zhao Xun was in a very bad mood. He thought that everything was under his control, but before he discovered that Situ Lei had taken another step forward. He didn't know that he was going to target Murong Cheng next. I'm afraid that he was in Yangzhou.
Murong Cheng is about to fall into a disadvantage. Situ Lei is powerful. Although he has no direct relationship with Zhao Xunyan, it is still extremely bad. Not to mention the hatred between the two sides, it is his support to control the government and make the Dayan court its
It is also extremely unfavorable to have a one-man sect. Zhao Xun still knew that his power was powerful by using the emperor to command the princes.
In the past, the Left Prime Minister and the Qi Wang Party jointly ruled and checked and balanced each other. The imperial party was located in it, but had no real power. However, since Murong became the pacification of Jiangzhou, rectified the southeast, and went to Yangzhou, the Qi Wang Party also began to go to the
The southeast shift. Now, in Luoyang City, the full power is controlled by Situ Lei. In the court, except for Situ Lei's voice insect, there are no people with real power. After seizing the imperial guards, the military power is still
The Imperial Guard, which was less than 10,000 people, was useless.
Before the battle in Yanzhou is finalized, otherwise, after Situ Lei sets down a title and makes a great contribution, he will not be able to take action directly. Zhao Xun thought secretly.
Now, except for the Xuzhou Army, the rest of the forces were judged by the court as rebellious troops, rather than being independent of themselves. Even the Xuzhou Army rose up to resist donations and taxes, not directly rebelled.
A guy who rebels independently is Shu King Zhang Yan. Unfortunately, he has been wiped out by the imperial army. It can be said that so far, no one has blatantly acted under the banner of overthrowing the imperial court. Zhao Xun believed that if he had done so,
I am afraid that the princes in the southern garrison will jointly attack, and even if they gain some benefits of fame, they will do this.
…………
After three days of rapid progress, Meng Zhao finally returned to Siyang County with 4,000 troops. At this time, the Shanyang Prefecture Army had already left Siyang County for a day. Maybe the other party was already in Boping City at this moment.
Falled.
"Damn!" Looking at the city that was even more desolate than the last time, Meng Zhao was so angry that he felt so angry. Siyang County is much more desolate than when he came back last time. Even the four city gates were also slapped by Shanyang Prefecture
The army was demolished and became an empty cave. There were few remaining large households in the city, and those large households who were interested in the Tang army were even robbed. The same was true in townships and forts in Siyang County.
As soon as he returned to the messy county government office, he received the results of the bandit suppression. When he learned that one-third of the bandits had left, Meng Zhao's eyes suddenly turned dark.
"General, do you want to send troops to chase south now? The Shanyang Prefecture Army is less than a day away from the city, maybe..." Seeing Meng Zhao sitting on the seat of the county government office with a blue face, silent, Yuan Li
He said in a deep voice.
Meng Zhao waved his hand and said coldly: "No need, the enemy has cavalry on his side, and our army has few soldiers, so it is difficult to have substantial results."
Seeing Meng Zhao answering, Yuan Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he suggested sending troops to pursue was not that he really hoped Meng Zhao would agree, but that he would vent his depression. If Meng Zhao agreed, Yuan Like
I was really at a loss.
"Okay, please appease the people and pass on the orders. The people in Siyang County will be exempted from tax for one year. Send people to repair the city gates and clear out the rioters in Siyang County." Meng Zhao said dullly.
"General, emergency military information!" A cavalry rushed into the county government and turned over.
After Meng Zhao took the information handed over from Xu Feng and read it, the anger that had slightly calmed down in his heart surged up again. There was no other content on it. Just like what Zhao Xun received, the battle in Yanzhou had begun.
"Originally, we should have a share of the pie. They were the damn Shanyang Prefecture Army! The order was sent! Let the army that had completed the bandit suppression, immediately... forget it, let's appease the people according to the previous military order." Meng Zhao thought very much
After the bandit suppression was completed, the troops dispatched from the north of Liangzhou Prefecture came here and the army headed south to seek benefits. But thinking about the chaos in the Shanyang Prefecture Army in the south and the counties in the southern part of Liangzhou Prefecture, he held back his heart.
resentment.
…………
"Congratulations to General Li, for defeating the Tang army behind the enemy and defeating Siyang County in a row!"
"I dare not! They are all fought hard by the soldiers, so I dare not take credit for it." Zhao Xun responded to Ye Xuan's compliment with a smile.
The army ran all the way and returned to Boping City smoothly in just over a day. Because Zhao Xun moved the northern people south twice, Zhao Xun's actions behind enemy lines spread throughout Boping County, and his reputation was very impressive.
Even Ye Xuan and Zhang Ting, who was calculating in his heart, had to lower their heads, not because the opponent had many soldiers, but because of the opponent's military achievements.
What made Ye Xuan sad and angry was that he threw the three thousand soldiers he had sent to Zhao Xun and asked the other party to train now to more than 4,500 people, and they all followed Zhao Xun as their respect and threw him aside.
A lieutenant was originally his confidant, but now, I am afraid he has been impressed by the other party for a long time.
"General Ye, do you know the situation in Yanzhou City, what are your plans?" After the banquet, the county yamen hall, Zhao Xun, Ye Xuan, Zhang Ting and county magistrate Wei Zhong sat together to discuss the response to the change in Yanzhou City.
The strategy.
Before Ye Xuan answered, Zhang Ting said, "There is still a matter of discussion? The governor took action against the Wuwei Army and joined forces with the Xuzhou Army. Isn't it icing on the cake when we join it at this time? The Tang army was newly defeated and was again defeated by General Li.
It is a big destruction behind enemy lines, but I am afraid that the Tang army will have no time to look south in the short term. This is the opportunity for us to make contributions. The two generals should now lead their troops south and assist the governor to break the Wuwei camp. "
Although the county magistrate Wei Zhong did not speak, the expression on his face also told others that the same was true for his opinion.
"Have General Ye not informed the two adults of the real situation?" Hearing Zhang Ting's answer, Zhao Xun looked sideways and asked Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's face was stiff and he said after a while: "Time is tight, and there is still no time to say it."
Zhao Xun said coldly: "Zhang Jiaowei, Wei County Magistrate, our Shanyang Prefecture Army has been officially renamed Shanyang Prefecture Army and has been separated from the jurisdiction of Yanzhou Prefecture Army. As for the dispatch of troops south, I am afraid I cannot participate." Zhao
Inquiry, Zhang Ting is also a speculative person. He wants to perform well in front of Xu Jie's face and get on the throne. If it weren't for his return with a big victory this time, 10,000 Shanyang Prefecture troops would leave Siyang County and move back.
Eighty thousand people, I'm afraid Zhang Ting has begun to tell the disobedience of his army.
Ye Xuan issued a military order that 10,000 Shanyang Prefecture troops, 5,000 retreated to Shanyang Prefecture due to food and grass issues, and 5,000 stationed in the north camp of the city. However, because of his military order, whether it was originally supposed to withdraw to Shanyang Prefecture, it was the one that should have been withdrawn to Shanyang Prefecture.
Five thousand soldiers, or the five thousand soldiers who were left in Boping Camp, all went out of the city privately and headed north.
"General Li, what do you mean? Do you want to take advantage of the war between the Governor and the Wuwei Army? General Ye, you are also promoted by the Governor, so you should say something."
Zhang Ting was secretly happy. If Li Feng said this, he would inform the whole city tomorrow and let the soldiers of the government betray him.
Zhao Xun sneered without waiting for Ye Xuan's answer: "I forgot to tell Zhang Ziwei that Xu Jie's original plan was to join the Xuzhou army and the Tang army, and the three parties formed the Wuwei army. Do you understand if I say this?"
Zhang Ting and Wei Zhong were stunned for a while. After a while, Wei Zhong hesitated and said: "General Li means that we...we are both the governor and the Tang army..."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Yes, Liangzhou Prefecture and Shanyang Prefecture were both Xu Jie's reserve conditions for the Tang army. This is why the army was not well fed for food and grass some time ago, and why Lord Feng had to be under General Ye's command.
Hu Zhi seized power, which is why Xu Jie knew that we would kill his people, but he did not order punishment. It is also why our army won a great victory but we dared not go north easily, because there is no behind us.
Support. So, are you satisfied?"
"Person Zhang, I know that you are dissatisfied with this general. Whether you are selfish or jealous of this general's youth but standing taller than you, I will tell you honestly that this general is in such a position.
It is exchanged for my general's life, not someone's promotion. I will lead the Shanyang army to withdraw to Shanyang Prefecture tomorrow. As for you, just do whatever you like. The Tang army is going south, and you are the first line of defense.
Don't think of surrendering to the Tang army, because this general has instigated the new affiliated army officers in the Tang army. Therefore, even if you surrender, you are afraid you won't get any good endings." Zhao Xun said coldly. At this moment, he
I don’t have the time and energy to talk too much with these guys who only know how to fight for power and profit.
"By the way, General Ye is the most clear about this matter. Even if you don't believe me, you will know it if you ask General Ye." Zhao Xun added again, and then prepared to get up and leave.
Zhang Ting was suddenly a little stupid. His plans were based on the premise that his government troops were still under the jurisdiction of Xu Jie, and Li Feng and Ye Xuan also followed Xu Jie's military orders. But now...
"General Li, be slow!" As soon as he looked at Ye Xuan's expression, Wei Zhong knew that he was afraid that what Li Feng said was true. Wei Zhong, who had been tested by the war, was naturally not comparable to an ordinary civil servant. He immediately said anxiously: "General Li, be slow, be slow, be slow.
, It is normal for us to have no idea about the situation in Yanzhou City before, so it is not clear. Now that the situation is clear, everyone still needs to be calm and behave with voluntary spirit."
Zhao Xun sat back on the chair and sneered: "As County Magistrate Wei said this, I, Li Feng, are you just acting irritable?"
Wei Zhong smiled and said, "I dare not, the subordinate official means that, as General Li said, the situation before, we are both enemies in the north and south, or enemies that have not officially started the war. Needless to say, the north is, no matter what, we
They all blocked the Tang army's passage to the south and became the thorn in the Tang army's side. As for the south, although we were outside, Xu Jie did not attack us. It can be said that we are in an equal place now. But the Wuwei Army is not like this.
The ranks are victorious, but the Wuwei Army is invincible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, what we need now is close cooperation. No, it should be said that Boping County is the only county left in Liangzhou Prefecture, and it is no longer appropriate to belong to Liangzhou Prefecture.
Under the rule of Shanyang Prefecture, what we need to do now is how to deal with the situation in front of us, rather than breaking up in one stroke."
"General Li, Boping County is located in the north of Shanyang Prefecture, and is the gateway of Shanyang Prefecture. I think you are unwilling to give up Boping, otherwise, after knowing that Xu Jie had abandoned the two prefectures and their people,
And the army helped.”
Zhao Xun said coldly: "According to the magistrate of Wei County, I still have to protect you from the peace in the ground?"
Wei Zhong said anxiously: "Of course not. General Li can also establish defense lines in Xiaqiu and Nanpingyang counties, but after all, there is no better place in Boping, right? Boping is alone on the north side of Shanyang Prefecture, with the two
The Tang army dared not act rashly when defending the horns of the county town. Furthermore, Boping will be under the rule of Shanyang Prefecture in the future and will be divided into each other. Does General Li really hope that Boping will fall into the hands of the Tang army?"
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Of course I don't want it, but Boping seems to be not the magistrate of Wei County to make the decision!"
Wei's face froze, and then said in a deep voice: "It's true, but from now on, General Li and Lord Feng have done it, right? As for those who have bad intentions, they will either kill or stay, and General Li will write his seal.
In between, I think no one would object, Captain Zhang and General Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Xuan's face turned bitter and said in a deep voice: "Of course, General Li is the one who decides here."
Zhang Ting was unwilling to accept it, but when he looked at Zhao Xun, Wei Zhong and his two stared at him with sharp eyes. They suddenly felt panicked and said anxiously: "Of course, General Li has the final say."
Zhao Xun secretly admired Wei Zhong, and took the initiative back after a few words. It seems that just as the people from the Eagle Eye Department investigated, this person also knew the situation in Shanyang Prefecture.
"Very good, let's reorganize the Boping army first. This place is a key place to fight against the Tang army, and must be kept by elite troops." Zhao Xun was too lazy to say too much, and directly deprived the military power of Ye Xuan and Zhang Ting of his hands.
.
Although the actual situation was not announced, Zhao Xun immediately adjusted the army. He first stripped away all the troops and changed them to Shanyang Army. Then he gently arranged the troops behind the enemy to form the third capital.
He also served as the commander of the third capital, with a total of 12,000 people. Ye Xuan and Zhang Ting both served as the commander of the commander of the third capital, which was famous but not true.
