"Murrong Cheng wants us to help?" Zhao Xun couldn't help laughing after hearing Lu Ziliang's words.
"Yes, the envoy of King Qi has arrived in Youzhou!" Lu Ziliang smiled, "Evil on all sides, and Murong Cheng is also panicked. Now, the only one who is out of the matter is us! It is also his duty to ask us for help.
, It is true that the defeat of King Qi is not good for us."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "That's true. If it weren't for the Shanyang Mansion, we might not be able to take action. At most, we would just shout a few times, but now we can still move. Talking to them, in short,
Finally, I told them that we can restrain the Xuzhou army and Yanzhou prefecture army in the north. But because of the situation in the north, we cannot send too many troops. The effect cannot be explained now. Besides, we are already cooperating with them at sea."
Lu Ziliang nodded and responded: "As long as we agree to move, Murong Cheng is already grateful. As for the sea, the Yangzhou navy obviously received Murong Cheng's strict order, otherwise he would not have treated our merchant ships so politely."
Zhao Xun quickly reached an agreement between Murong Cheng's people. Although Zhao Xun did not express how many people he wanted to dispatch or clearly stated how many forces he could restrain, the people sent by Murong Cheng obviously had Murong Cheng's permission and responded directly.
Zhao Xun's conditions.
Zhao Xun didn't have many requirements. Both parties opened trade and allowed free shopping, especially the things needed for the thunder. Because Zhao Xun bought a lot of things, he was not afraid that the other party would clearly guess which ones were the necessities. In addition,
Zhao Xun also needs the other party to provide 500,000 Dan grain free of charge. For the north, grain is still a big problem, especially Zhao Xun needs to take into account the grain supply in Dingzhou. But for Jingyang, this is not very good
But these foods are enough for half a year for a hundred thousand troops. If they are saved, the time will take longer.
In fact, for Murong Cheng, as long as Zhao Xun moves, no matter whether it is the princes in Yanzhou or Situ Lei, he dare not underestimate it. After all, for now, Zhao Xun is the third largest force in the world. If not
Zhao Xun's prosperity is not as high as the other two parties, and his territory is not as high as the other two parties. I am afraid that Zhao Xun will be ranked first. But when it comes to real battles, whether it is Situ Lei or Murong Cheng, they know in their hearts.
I am afraid that the soldiers of the two armies will fight one by one, and the soldiers under their command will be far from being the opponent of Zhao Xun's subordinates.
"It seems that Murong Cheng can see it very clearly! Since that's the case, we don't need to look south for the time being, and we will start to take action against the North Sea in the western half. The rest of the projects have also been launched, and our navy should also move."
After the negotiation results reported by Lu Ziliang, Zhao Xun said with a smile.
The Xiaoguo Army also mobilized one after another, gathering heavy troops in the three east prefectures and the five east prefectures of Dingzhou. Then, they launched an acceptance operation to the western part of the Beihai. The Beihai camp located in the Beihai part immediately cut off the connection between the east and west of the Beihai part.
, and issued orders to each department, only if they choose whether to be included in the Xiaoguo Army.
It seems that this choice is very good, choose one of two. In fact, it means either integrating into the Xiaoguo Army or getting out of the western part of the North Sea. It seems that it is not very difficult. It is better to be willing to surrender. Just hand over power and then become a rich man.
He was wearing the official titles of the Xiaoguo Army and received a considerable salary. This official title was similar to the titles of the imperial court. But the leaders of the western Beihai knew that they had no choice. If they did not hand over power, then
Leave the western part of the North Sea.
However, how many people in the tribe are willing to leave this familiar place with them and go to the King of Beihai to make a living? They will live better under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army. Besides, all the tribes of all sizes in the western part of the Beihai
It was dissatisfied with the annexation of all tribes by King Beihai and rose up to resist. Is there still a way out now? Especially when there is no soldiers or power in his hands. I am afraid that King Beihai Chi Shu will directly defeat them in order to eliminate the excuse of the attack of the Xiaoguo Army.
They tied up and handed over it. They didn't believe that there was still a way out by then.
Although the Beihai tribe, like the Sumo and Mohe tribes of Liaodong Kingdom, were all Muhe tribes, but they were different from the other two forces. The other two forces were half farming and half nomadic, while their territory was all grasslands and was born nomadic.
In the grassland, most of the nomadic groups are good at riding horses and have many cavalry. This is why the Beihai tribe has always been the vanguard of attacking Youzhou. The cavalry has always been the strongest troops and has many advantages.
Zhao Xun naturally did not want the force with a shiny blade in the north.
"What do Zhao Xun want to do? I have reached my limit. Is he still trying to attack our troops?" When King Beihai Chi Shu heard the reward from his subordinates, Yan Xiaoguo's army was around the Beihai troops, and he was very angry.
Yong. At the beginning, he was a commander of a large army and attacked Youzhou. At that time, Zhao Xun was just a small leader of a private army. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Zhao Xun became the hero of the northern part of Dayan and suppressed himself.
It was so disastrous. Although he was forced to surrender to his enemies, his current actions have made Chi Shu unable to bear it.
The military advisor of the King of Beihai Yunwang said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. The operation of the Xiaoguo Army is not aimed at our troops. After all, the Xiaoguo Army is now mobilizing not only us, but also Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Marine.
He did this just to prevent us from moving."
"Prevent our abnormal movements? What are we good about abnormal movements? If I could abnormal movements and had the strength to abnormal movements, I would have led the army to counterattack long ago, why should I wait until the other party to prevent them?" Chi Shu said with a hatred.
Yun Wang sighed and said, "Perhaps my advice in the past was too advanced, and it suddenly divided the Beihai part into two. After all, we, who are in the grassland area, are different from the two parts in the eastern plain area."
Chi Shu waved his hand and said in a stern voice: "If you say something is wrong, it is my fault and it has nothing to do with you. But in my opinion, your suggestion is correct. But time is not waiting for me.
.Just as we recovered and prepared to take action to quell the rebellious tribes in one fell swoop, the damn Xiaoguo Army appeared. It also led to a Beihai Protectorate, which penetrated tightly into our Beihai tribe, causing us to face
The joint efforts of the Xiaoguo Army and the western Beihai area of suppression. The Xiaoguo Army is sharp in the armor, while the western Beihai area of the Beihai area has logistics support. How can we be defeated by one-on-two? By the way, what do you think the Xiaoguo Army wants to do this time
"?"
Although I know that eating is just a bribery of people's hearts, Yun Wang's heart was able to take responsibility for his subordinates as King Beihai, and admitting his mistakes in front of everyone, Yun Wang was extremely grateful.
"It should be the matter in the western part of the Beihai. Isn't it said that the western part of the Beihai envied the treatment and living standards of the Khitans under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army, so they were willing to surrender. This matter should be due to this. Zhao Xun was worried.
When accepting the western part of the North Sea, the other tribes will have bad reactions, so they will make preparations in advance.” Yun Wangxin said unwillingly.
If Yun Wangxin was unwilling to accept it, then Chi Shu was furious at this moment. The western part of the Beihai is also the Beihai tribe, and the Beihai tribe is under his command. Although these more than 20 tribes are unwilling to be annexed by themselves, it does not mean that Chi Shu was the one who could not accept it.
He abandoned them and regarded them as mortal enemies. Chi Shu was always planning to regain them for his own use. But now, it is obviously impossible. If Zhao Xun did not accept the other party's thoughts, he would not
Such a big fight also means that there is no Beihai King in the western part of the North Sea.
"Bastard! Didn't it mean that Zhao Xun still has several great enemies in Dayan? Should they just sit and watch Zhao Xun grow stronger?" Chi Shu roared with a pale face.
"Now, the Central Plains is in a war. Murong Cheng and Situ Lei are competing for the power of the court, and have brought all the upper and lower forces of Dayan into it. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that many forces in Dayan hope that the Xiaoguo Army can now be with the
We have a big fight so that Zhao Xun will not be in the spotlight in the south." Yun Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Then we will watch the western tribe of the North Sea be annexed? It is the western tribe now. What will happen next time? If it were us, what should we do?" Chi Shu shouted coldly.
The general under Chi Shu, who was also a Khitan who surrendered to him in his early years, whispered: "This is the choice of the western tribe itself. Xiaoguo Army asked it to volunteer, we..."
Hapur's meaning is very obvious. The other party voluntarily incorporated into the Dayan, not the Xiaoguo Army invaded. What can they do? Furthermore, the northwest tribe had existed separately earlier, and it was not a subordinate relationship with the eastern North Sea Kingdom. It can even be said that
It’s the enemy. Can you interfere with the enemy’s ideas? Can you interfere in the enemy’s internal affairs? If you are strong, it’s fine. Unfortunately, you are not the opponent of the other party. There is no other way except to accept your fate.
How could Chi Shu not know these? But he understood even more that if this continues, the Xiaoguo Army will become stronger and stronger in the north, and the more places in Dingzhou will be. The Xiaoguo Army will build small cities in Dingzhou.
Fortresses, in this way, the tribes face eastward will only suppress their side within a narrow range. How can they be willing to do so?
"I don't need to hear useless explanations and defenses. I want to know the solution now. If this continues, our Beihai tribe will be annexed by the Xiaoguo Army step by step." Chi Shu shouted in hatred.
Yun Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Now, we can only join forces with Liaodong Kingdom, Sumo and Heishui Mohe tribes. We are both Marine people, so we should work together to resist foreign enemies."
"Liaodong Kingdom, Sumo and Mohe tribe? The two of them were already scared by the Xiaoguo Army, so they had long bowed to the Xiaoguo Army. They dared to fight against the Xiaoguo Army? In addition, these two of them were not good.
Birds. When we attacked the land of Youbei in the past, we became their abandoned sons, with swords in our hands."
Yun Wang said, "King, even though he said that, these two movies are also feeling uncomfortable at this moment. Although they surrendered to the Xiaoguo Army, they were forced to do so. Now, the defeated general in the past is the land of Youzhou where they bullied.
, has already risen. The Xiaoguo Army, which occupied Youzhou, is already the number one enemy of each tribe. Now, it is time for them to let go of the disputes in their hearts and go to the outside world. For them, our Beihai tribes are the Liaodong Kingdom and Su
The western periphery of the Mohmad tribe. We exist, so don’t worry about the western part. If we are gone, they will have to bear the pressure from the western part. The subordinates believe that at this moment, they are also thinking about joining forces with us."
"Okay, send someone to contact them and tell them to join forces, and don't mention any messy conditions. Otherwise, the Beihai tribe will become the sword in the hands of the Xiaoguo Army in the future, and it will not be us who are unlucky."
Chi Shu said viciously.
Thinking back to the beginning, the five tribes joined forces to fight south and prepared for the five tribes to unite into a country, but the Beihai tribes, which were replaced by their father, were excluded. Now, the Liaodong Kingdom is strong, but the Beihai tribes are divided into two.
Chi Shu was full of resentment.
Yangzhou.
"So, Zhao Xun agrees?" Murong Cheng asked with a little joy.
"Reporting to the prince, I agreed, but the Xiaoguo army is also busy attacking the Huhu in the north, so it said that it is impossible to guarantee that it will contain the enemy army on one side, nor can it guarantee that it can dispatch many troops, but it can make it
The Tang army would not attack our army, and the Xuzhou army would not be able to have a good time. Let our army move the focus to Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou to fight against King Yong Situ Lei. In addition, there was also the southern Jiaozhou. King Zhao said that he was right
Jiaozhou is extremely dissatisfied with the heavy taxes collected by northern sea ships."
Zhang Tu said: "Prince, it seems that the Xiaoguo Army will put pressure on the Tang army to force it to have friction or disputes with the Xuzhou army. However, the Zhao King has the meaning that we should consider now. Speaking of which, we are now on us.
The most stressed ones are Jingzhou and Yuzhou. The most threat to us is Jiaozhou in the south. Of course, it is the best to deal with, after all, he is located alone in the south of us."
Zhong Yan shook his head and said, "You can't underestimate this Jiaozhou. Although it is easy to deal with alone Jiaozhou. But it is connected to Ningzhou. If Situ Lei's army penetrates the Jiaozhou area from Ningzhou, then it will not be
It's so wonderful."
Zhang Tu was stunned and patted his head and said, "Brother Zhong said so much. I only care about the northern front, but I ignore the south. Jiaozhou cannot ignore it. Now, we should take action against Jiaozhou first."
"Then the conditions we agreed to?" Fei Bin, who had just joined the Murong Cheng Decision Center, hesitated.
Murong Cheng nodded and said, "Give it to them. Since you agree, I will give it to them! I don't want to make any trouble at this time. We have a lot of food in stock, so we will ship it to them now!"
"Transfer the order to appoint He Xiong, who is stationed in Jiangzhou, as the General of Pingnan, to conquer Jiaozhou. Fei Bin, you are the envoy of the capital, cooperate with He Xiong to march south."
"I will receive the order!" After saying that, Fei Bin turned around and left after giving a gift.
"Damn it! The one who should have let the Wuwei Army attack Yanzhou directly, the bastard Xu Jie actually dared to attack me. He asked the cavalry to go north, pass Yuzhou, and enter the land of Yanzhou. I don't believe it anymore. A mere Yanzhou governor wants to rely on it.
The government army in his hand was against me. The Shen Ce army stationed in Yuzhou and strictly prevented the enemy troops in Yongzhou. If they find it, they will fight back. Let them avoid being careless and just keep their homeland firmly." Murong Cheng said with a hatred.
Zhang Tu said: "Prince, not all the land of Yanzhou is under the control of Xu Jie, there are still places we can use!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
"According to what we later investigated, Xu Jie's original plan was to have the Yanzhou Prefecture Army in Yanzhou. The Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army joined forces to raid the Wuwei Army in Yanzhou, but the Tang Army failed to arrive in Yanzhou Prefecture smoothly."
"You mean, in Yanzhou, there was a force that blocked the Tang army's actions. No, the Black Hawk Guards sent information. The reason why the Tang army did not dare to act rashly was because of the oppression of the Xiaoguo Army on its northern line. What else is missing?
Where?” Murong Cheng asked in a deep voice. At this moment, any news that is beneficial to oneself is worth knowing, and any person and force that is beneficial to oneself is worth using and winning over.
Zhang Tu nodded and said, "Xu Jie didn't want his subordinates to be dissatisfied, and he didn't want the Tang army to appear to go south without stopping, which made the secrets in it discovered by our army. Therefore, he gave the two who had originally promised to be ceded to the Tang army.
The land of the palace was to attack south as a legitimate reason for the Tang army to move south. However, in order not to attract the attention of the Wuwei Army and to eliminate those who were not obedient under his command, Xu Jie sent his chief minister and one
Feng Ziming, who is upright and famous, goes north to help.”
"And this Feng Ziming may have noticed that Xu Jie's plot to control the two palaces and tens of thousands of soldiers as abandoned sons, he suddenly planned to seize the power of Shanyang Prefecture and block the Tang army. Now, it is already Yanzhou
The powerful forces north of the palace. Especially during the wars in Yanzhou, this small force with 20,000 troops played a crucial role, especially the defeat of the Tang army, which shows how strong its combat power is."
"Oh? There is such a person? It seems that we have underestimated the heroes in the world." Murong Cheng suddenly became interested.
Zhang Tu smiled and said, "To be honest, Xu Jie underestimated his own people. Such a talent was forced to the opposite side by him. Although the two sides did not fight, Shanyang Prefecture has been out of Xu Jie's control. We
.You can send someone to contact him.”
Zhong Yan said on the side: "It's strange. According to information, Shanyang Prefecture can defeat the Tang army invasion. In addition to the Shanyang Prefecture's launch of a general who can conquer and fight the war, it seems to be related to the Tang army itself.
The oppression of the Xiaoguo Army made the Tang army focus on the place where the Xiaoguo Army and the Tang army were intercepted, and despised the attack of Liangzhou Prefecture, resulting in the failure of reinforcements, resulting in a great defeat."
Zhang Tu was slightly stunned and said, "Brother Zhong means to doubt. Is there any connection between Shanyang Prefecture and Xiaoguo Army? At the beginning, I also suspected it. But then I thought about it, and I felt it was unlikely. Xiaoguo Army
It is impossible to contact Shanyang Prefecture with the Tang army at the moment. Besides, there is no big interest relationship between the two. If the Tang army and Xu Jie knew that Shanyang Prefecture had a connection with the Xiaoguo Army,
I am afraid that the Tang army will join forces with the Xuzhou army and Xu Jie to settle Shanyang Prefecture first. Of course, we cannot ignore the connection between them. Even if there was not before, I am afraid that now, we will be the same as us.
Contact Shanyang Prefecture.”
Indeed, Shanyang Prefecture defeated the Tang army outside, making it an important factor affecting the situation in Yanzhou. Not only Murong Cheng was preparing to contact him, but also the people from the Situ Lei Sect Dao Yanzhou City were also preparing
Contact him. At this moment, the small forces that could defeat the Tang army and Xu Jie had to give in, had to catch up with them.
Feng Ziming, who was in charge of Shanyang Prefecture, didn't think too much about it at this moment. First of all, he wanted to implement the new policy and attack those stubborn and unruly families. According to Zhao Xun's instructions, he would never be ruthless. At this time, the means should be taken.
If it is too extreme, it will not cause external interference. The great clans in Shanyang Prefecture have no foreign aid. Shanyang Prefecture immediately? OK! If you can survive in other prefectures that are in the battle, then you can go.
Time is the best time to clear it, otherwise, you will naturally not be soft-hearted to those who do not follow the orders.
Secondly, Feng Ziming also had to arrange for the 70,000 to 80,000 people to stabilize. These 70,000 to 80,000 people came south from Liangzhou Prefecture with Zhao Xun. It can be said that they all trusted the Shanyang Prefecture government.
If the arrangement is made properly, they are an example. At the same time, they will also be loyal fans of Shanyang Prefecture.
Compared with Zhao Xun's methods in the land of Youbei in the past, Shanyang Prefecture is much more moderate. Perhaps it is the benefit of the new policy under the Xiaoguo Army, or perhaps it is the constant war outside Shanyang Prefecture, which has caused refugees to flow in from time to time.
The people in the counties in Shanyang Prefecture supported each other, and most of the big clans did not strongly oppose it. After all, Shanyang Prefecture did not deprive him of his family wealth, but just swallowed him up with unreasonable means.
The fields were returned. In addition, the government also paid for the excess fields under its name.
In addition, Shanyang Prefecture did not forcefully limit the amount of land it owned. However, when taxation was imposed, it was also limited by the actual number of land and was collected according to the quality of the land. The only exception was the same as before.
What is unique is that the government restricts the proportion and type of taxes it collects from tenants. In other words, these large families with many landowners can no longer obtain greater benefits from the fields. In addition, the Shanyang Prefecture implemented
Like Xiaoguojun, no matter what his identity is, he will be taxed unless there is a tax exemption policy on it.
