At the end of June, Feng Ziming, who was accepting the secret forest of Zhao Xun, sent people into the jurisdiction of the Tang army and arrived at Dongping Prefecture, the Tang army base camp.
"The people from Shanyang Prefecture are coming to have a peace talk with this general?" After hearing Chen Yuan and what he said to be the chief supervisor of the Tang army, the counselor of military affairs, and the marching Sima, Tang Xian couldn't help but chuckled. Although he is now named Duke of the County , but he still likes others to call himself a general. In his opinion, all county dukes are empty, and only the military power in his hands is real capital. As long as he has military power, not to mention county dukes, he is a king It is not impossible to be an emperor.
Chen Yuanhe smiled and said, "Yes, the people they sent have found my mansion. Although I know that the general hates the Shanyang Mansion Army to the core, now is not the time to be angry."
"Old Shen, what do you think the Shanyang Army wants to talk to us? Don't let us attack? Humph! I beat us, but I just won a small victory. They wouldn't think that my Tang Army can't do anything. Let them."
Chen Yuanhe asked: "General, the land of Yanzhou is in conflict. If we follow the previous alliance, we will only obtain the land of the two prefectures. Will the general be willing to do so? Will he abide by the agreement?"
Tang Xian was stunned and did not answer for a long time. If he really followed the alliance, would he only take the two palaces? He could not say it. But now, he knew that Xu Jie was contacting the Xuzhou army and himself, but he was afraid that he was also in the process of Under Situ Lei's plan, perhaps he was just a knife in the hand of Xu Jie. In Yanzhou, what if Xu Jie regrets it? If there is a great opportunity in the war, take it Is it not to be taken?
"General, now Xu Jie and Xuzhou army may have obtained Situ Lei's internal agreement very early. As for us, perhaps because of the failure to go south, they were unable to participate. Perhaps, they simply excluded us. After all, we The north side had to bear the pressure of the Xiaoguo Army, and they were unwilling to really join forces with us to resist the Tang army. The people below responded that the Shanyang Prefecture Army has now been renamed the Shanyang Army and has been out of Xu Jie's control. This means that the Shanyang Army Just like us, stay out of the matter. Look at what Feng Ziming people say, we are making choices. If we really have to fight, the Shanyang Army, which is just a big deal, is not a difficult problem to solve." Chen Yuan and Xiao said.
Tang Xian nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Lin Xilin, the envoy of Shanyang Army, pay homage to the Duke of Dongping County!" Lin Xilin bent down and bowed and said in a deep voice.
"Do it! Shanyang Army! In this way, your lord already knows the secret agreement between Xu Jie and my Tang Army?"
Lin Xilin nodded and said, "I know! I already knew it when the Tang army besieged Boping. It is precisely because of this that my elders rose up and fought outside."
"You lord want to negotiate with our army? Why? Just rely on the land you occupy? Just rely on the 20,000 troops in your hands? Just rely on Feng Ziming's considerable reputation?" Tang Xian sneered.
Lin Xilin also responded coldly: "Just relying on more than 700,000 people in one mansion, Shanyang Army, which once defeated the right army of the Tang army, and by virtue of Lord Feng, who was willing to launch tens of thousands of brave men in Yanzhou. , where the invasion is outside.”
Tang Xian's face turned cold, stared at Lin Xilin, and said coldly: "Defeat our right army? It's just a second-rate luck. Don't forget that more than 12,000 people can kill under Boping City. You, 15,000 people ran away with your heads in your arms.”
"I don't dare to agree with the intention of the Duke of Dongping County! The Tang army defeated 15,000 of us, which was right, but at that time our army was not well-off and our soldiers were anxious. But in the same way, our army relied on the three outside the city
More than a thousand defeated troops went straight to the rear of the Tang army's right army, and defeated Siyang County twice, causing constant riots in the southern part of Liangzhou Prefecture. They also took advantage of the situation to bring out the people of a county. Duke of Dongping County, may I ask, there are such people in the Tang army.
People?" Lin Xilin asked with a smile.
Tang Xian's face was stiff, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, even so! But my Tang army still has three armies, totaling nearly 100,000. Could Shanyang Prefecture block it?"
"No! But does the Duke of Dongping County dare to let nearly 100,000 troops go out together? In order to protect his hometown, the whole Shanyang Prefecture is willing to fight to the death! I don't know if the Tang army is ready to sacrifice. Don't be so late,
The clam fights, and the fisherman benefits! I heard that the Xiaoguo Army is also eyeing Qingzhou in the north of Dongping Prefecture!"
Tang Xian saw that Lin Xilin's words were not airtight, and he knew that these people sent as messengers were not as calm as he could. So he put away the expression on his face and said, "Fengzi."
What do Ming want to talk to me? This general is a military general and doesn’t like to beat around the bush.”
Lin Xilin's lips raised slightly and said with a smile: "Since the Duke of Dongping County said that, I will speak out directly. My master hopes that you and I will stop fighting, and peace is the most important thing!"
"Of course, the Tang army urgently needs to expand southward, in order to avoid the pressure of the Xiaoguo Army. However, the land of Yanzhou, facing southward in the jurisdiction of your army, can only be our Shanyang Prefecture. In fact, the Xiaoguo Army is the one who is in the south.
The pressure on your army is not very high. Of course, if the canal and the Jizhou River in the north are connected to the Yellow River, the Tang army will be enemies on all sides. Even if you take down Shanyang Prefecture, it is also on the south bank of the Yellow River, the Xiaoguo Army Navy
Wherever you are, the Tang army will also be under pressure from the Xiaoguo army. Since it cannot go south, why not go east?"
"Xiangdong? Are you talking about Xuzhou?" Tang Xian said with a frown.
"That's right, Xuzhou! The north of Xuzhou is Qingzhou, and the west is the jurisdiction of the county government. In this way, the depth of the Tang army will be very large, and it will not be like now, even the base camp is in the Xiaoguo army.
Under threats, Lin Xilin said in a deep voice.
Tang Xian's face was heavy and said coldly: "Do you know that our Tang army and Xuzhou army are allies. In addition, the Xuzhou army has occupied Xuzhou for a long time, but it is much harder to fight than Shanyang Prefecture."
Lin Xilin said: "The covenant? What covenant? Has the county duke completed the conditions for the covenant? Besides, what is the covenant? Can the Dongping county duke even throw things aside about the interests of the Tang army?"
"Now, the situation is clear. Xu Jie's so-called covenant is just a means used by Situ Lei to jointly conquer the King of Qi. Besides, even if the county minister intends to go south to complete the covenant, I am afraid that Xu Jie will not agree.
Chop Shanyang Prefecture to you. Shanyang Prefecture is the back of Yanzhou Prefecture. He doesn't want the Tang army to take charge, especially in the current situation where Yanzhou Prefecture Army is in a tough battle and is difficult to deal with."
"Xuzhou army did occupy the Xujie for a long time, but now, the south is hard to resist the Yangzhou army, the east is defeated by the Yangzhou navy, and the west is plotting for the land of Yanzhou. As for the northern line, it is precisely because of the past.
The relationship between the alliance and the fact that it is now enemies on all sides have become the weakest point. Dongping County Duke, if this matter is not taken, when will it be?”
"Of course, if the Duke of Dongping County insists on fighting with our Shanyang Prefecture and continues to go south or seek revenge, the Shanyang Army is waiting for the arrival of your army."
"So, what does Feng Ziming want?"
Listening to Tang Xian's inquiry, Lin Xilin smiled secretly. It seemed that things were basically done.
…………
"Lord, Situ Lei's men have moved. Now the army has left the Hanoi Prefecture of Yongzhou and is heading straight to Yanzhou." Zhao Hai reported the information he had just collected.
"Rui'er, Heng'er, you guys play with Maomao, don't hurt him." Stop learning from the two children, let two five or six-year-old children play with the little tiger under their feet, and look at the map after watching the two children, five or six years old, five or six years old, and the little tiger.
The line of action of the King Yong army.
"In this way, wouldn't it be that the three places of Dongzhou Prefecture, Chenliu Prefecture, and Xingyang Prefecture? If this is the case, the Wuwei Army will basically be over. In this way, the Qi King Army should have taken action," Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"That's right, the cavalry army retreated from Yongzhou with the King of Qi has entered Yuzhou and rushed to Yanzhou. At the same time, the army of Jingzhou is also mobilizing one after another, moving towards Nanyang Prefecture and heading straight for Hongnong in Yongzhou.
The mansion is very much like entering Luoyang."
"The King of Qi should not have entered Luoyang. In this way, it can only force the imperial parties in various places to rely on Situ Lei. Although the imperial party does not have real power, it should not be underestimated. They are all civil officials and aristocratic families, and they are only afraid of the King of Qi.
I don’t want to provoke them easily. The crime of conquering the imperial capital is enough to determine the King of Qi as a rebellion. This rebellion is much heavier than the rebels on us, and it is basically impossible to wash away."
"In this way, the King of Qi's army could not arrive in Yanzhou in time. In this case, the Wuwei Army would basically be trapped and killed in Yanzhou. If Yanzhou was pacified, Yuzhou would face a three-way attack." Zhao Hai frowned and said.
"It's time for the military service envoy to return to southern Jizhou. I'll send him an order to let the 10th town army move south and make an action to attack Yongzhou. Of course, I still have to go out and go out to meet the emperor on the surface to show my gratitude.
.” Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"We must delay the marching speed of the Yong Wang Army? What should we do if the Yong Wang Army ignores it?"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "If we ignore it, we will go wherever we are! Do you think Situ Lei hopes that Xiaoguo Army will nail down the nail in Yongzhou? He is not afraid that we will stop and will not leave? Xiaoguo Army
The people-friendly policy is pretty good.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said with a smile: "I agree with this. Xiaoguo Army dare not say anything else. Speaking of local governance, the most beneficial to the people is our army. I will go to the Military Affairs Department and let it go.
The Military Affairs Department issued a military order." As he said that, Zhao Hai stood up and prepared to leave.
"By the way, let all the lords from the Government Affairs Department come over." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"Ao..." Hearing the tiger's roar, Zhao Xun quickly lowered his head, looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The two little guys pulled the tiger's hair into balls, and the roaring Mao Mao was neither roaring nor biting him.
He could only rub his head against Zhao Xun's leg, begging his master to get these two little demon stars away.
"You two, don't grab his hair, be careful that he bites you." As he said that, he helped Maomao smooth the hair on his body.
This tiger should be more obedient than the zoo! I really don’t know how these people trained them. Of course, if they were two big tigers, Zhao Xun dared not let the two little guys play with them in a special skill. Maybe he has been with the two little guys since he was a child.
The children from the Governor's Office played together and grew up. This little tiger was quite obedient.
"Master!"
"Do it all, I asked you to come, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Master, please make an announcement!"
"Two things are, one is the imperial examination! Since the capital was moved, the imperial court and the local government have not held any more scientific examinations. This is extremely unfavorable for scholars and government officials."
"The lord wants to hold the imperial examination?" Pei Yi said in a deep voice.
"Well, you think, is it feasible? Of course, the imperial examinations in our Xiaoguo Army are somewhat different from the past. I believe everyone knows that. After all, many of our colleges teach different things from the past. Agricultural,
Business, engineering, miscellaneous studies, arithmetics, etc. are all within my expectations." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
Pei Yi pondered for a moment and said, "The imperial examination will be welcomed by his subordinates. However, once the imperial examination is opened, I am afraid that my army will be... After all, the imperial examination is only qualified for the imperial examination by the court."
Zhao Xun nodded, understanding Pei Yi's concerns. The Xiaoguo Army is still the newly appointed King Zhao of the imperial court. If this happens, it will be basically no different from the former King of Shu.
Lu Ziliang said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible. Just change your name. Does Situ Lei really dare to force the charges on us? Isn't he afraid of the Xiaoguo Army rushing down?"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I'm dizzy too, yes, that's it. In any case, we have to select talents, especially in Dingzhou in the north, where the environment is not as good as the south. All the selected officials will be placed there first.
Adapt to adapt. We also select officials who can endure hardships and do things from it. There is also Shanyang Prefecture. In the future, in addition to local officials, if you want to control the place, you still have to send people to choose us.
, the people sent out must be veterans and can defend the place. According to Feng Ziming, the county magistrates of all counties are still the original officials. Although we have sent a lot of officials, I want to
It is still not possible to fully control a county’s civil affairs. After all, it is a big step to kill people.”
"Okay, this matter will be handled by the Government Affairs Department and the Education Department. We will come up with a plan as soon as possible, conduct a unified examination, select capable talents, and use them for my own use."
"Lord, do these selected scholars who are worthy of fame and fortune have some special rewards? In Dayan, these scholars who have passed the first level of the prefecture can be exempted from miscellaneous duties and taxes.
"Lu Ziliang said in a deep voice.
Under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army, no matter who is a rank official, he will have to pay taxes. Even if he is a rank official, there are restrictions on tax exemptions. After exceeding the rated amount, he still needs to pay taxes like ordinary people.
Because of this, the Xiaoguo Army has never been favored by scholars all over the world. Even if the Xiaoguo Army recovered the lost territory and occupied the Hu in the north. Until the Xiaoguo Army occupied the three states and became one of the top princes in the world, and dominated the country, this
The situation has improved slightly. After all, if you don’t come, someone will come. The positions of official positions in the world are limited, but he doesn’t wait for anyone. If you don’t accept it, then you just pretend to be in the stomach and go and sell the words. Besides,
The newly established college of Xiaoguo Army, I think it will take a short time for Xiaoguo Army to come and there will be no shortage of knowledgeable people under the rule of Xiaoguo Army. By then, you will really have no share.
To be honest, does Zhao Xun like to reduce the tax on labor tax for those with fame? If it is just a reduction in labor tax, it would be fine. After all, he is a scholar and a scholar who studies literature. It is impossible to learn while physically exercising. However, it is exempted from
Zhao Xun was a little difficult to accept various taxes. This is why Zhao Xun only reduced the taxes of officials of grades, but continued to collect taxes for minor officials and scholars who had no grades.
"There is no exemption from labor service, and taxes are not exempted, but they can be reduced according to their family background." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice. In Zhao Xun's expectation, he really wanted to turn Tianxia College into a memory school and establish it in different levels. But later,
I realized that this really doesn’t work. In this era, students’ science exams are not the kind of answering papers like memory. Generally speaking, they still rely on writing articles to complete them.
