On the second day, Situ Wen and Liu Yi went to negotiate with Zhao Xun, hoping to reach an agreement, let Shanyang Prefecture send troops, assist him, and cooperate with the Yanzhou Prefecture Army to clear the Wuwei Army.
When Zhao Xun saw the two of them, his heart moved. He naturally knew about Situ Wen's identity and also knew that the other party had come to Juye City. He thought Situ Wen would come to talk to him, but he didn't expect to come in person.
It seems that Situ Lei also began to be anxious.
"I have met Lord Feng, General Li!" Liu Yi and the four people who accompanied him bowed to Zhao Xun, and Feng Zi shouted.
Feng Ziming didn't say anything, Zhao Xun waved his hand and said, "Do it, I didn't expect that Lord Situ came here in person. In this way, I would like to continue talking."
Situ Wen was stunned, but then he knew that his identity and trace were probably discovered by the other party when the negotiator entered Shanyang Mansion. This situation instead made him pay more attention to Li Feng.
Sure enough, Li Feng was really the one here, and Feng Ziming was the one. Seeing Feng Ziming sitting aside and looking at everyone calmly, Situ Wen knew that what Liu Yi said yesterday was true.
"I didn't expect General Li to know his identity. It seems that General Li is very clear about the situation in Yanzhou. Since General Li asks people from the King Yong to come here, how can he not come? General Li is so young, but
It was so extraordinary that he defeated the Tang army and managed Shanyang Prefecture so hard. "Situ Wen replied with a smile.
Zhao Xun said: "I am okay in war. As for the management of the local area, this is all the credit of Lord Feng, and I dare not take credit. Lord Situ, let's not talk too much about other things, just get to the point. I believe you don't want to waste it now.
time."
Situ Wen said in a deep voice: "Since General Li said so, then we should get to the point. As General Li thought, nowadays, the situation in Yanzhou is not good for us. The general and this Shanyang Prefecture both come from Yanzhou.
, no matter what, we must stand on the side of the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. After all, Murong Chenghui regarded the general as a group of Yanzhou Prefecture Army. General Li also had deep hatred with the Tang army, and the Tang army was in conflict with us. Now, Shanyang
The Tang army is on the north side, the Xuzhou army of our friendly army to the east, and the Yanzhou army of your origin to the south. The general's choice is naturally the most beneficial to the general. After defeating the Wuwei Army, the Tang army is naturally no problem.
Naturally, Liangzhou Prefecture will not continue to be occupied by the Tang army."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "I was born in Liangzhou Prefecture, so I will naturally take it back from Tang Xian with my own hands. The rest have nothing to do with me. As for the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, we were all abandoned and had peace talks.
What does it have to do with it? Now, except for the actual benefits, this general will not let my troops die."
Situ Wen sighed in his heart and said, "I don't know what General Li's request is, speak it out."
Zhao Xun asked with a deep meaning: "So, before this, I want to ask, can Lord Situ be the master of Xu Jie? If Lord Situ is the master of Xu Jie, we can talk about it, then I
Just say what I want directly. If Lord Situ can't make the decision, what's the point of saying it?"
Situ Wen's heart sank when he heard this. When he heard Zhao Xun's question, he knew that the other party's request was not simple, and maybe Xu Jie had already arrived and refused. But he still said in a deep voice: "But it's okay! Since that's it!
It is here to negotiate, so we naturally have to negotiate with each other. As for the Governor Xu Jie, we can still make some decisions. By the way, I know General Li has resentment towards Xu Jie, but Governor Xu is forced to do this for the sake of Yanzhou.
, I believe General Li should be very clear about the situation in Yanzhou, Governor Xu must not be missing, and Yanzhou Prefecture Army must not be missing."
Zhao Xun chuckled and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Situ, I will not take the life of Governor Xu. But we are all betrayed by Xu Jie and have completely had nothing to do with the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. Originally, you and the Wuwei Army
The war has nothing to do with us. However, because your two armies are fighting, the number of refugees here has gradually increased, and we can no longer accept too many refugees. At the same time, because Lord Feng has lived in Yanzhou for several years, he also
I don’t want Yanzhou City to be messed up by you. Therefore, this general needs a broader territory, and Master Feng also wants Yanzhou City to live and work in peace. Therefore, this general’s request is that you cede Yanzhou Prefecture and us.”
"What? Impossible!" Situ Wen said angrily after hearing Zhao Xun's words, "General Li, if there are other conditions, we can discuss it, and even agree to you that after defeating the Wuwei Army, you can get from the three palaces occupied by the Wuwei Army.
Choose a mansion in the land.”
Zhao Xun laughed and said coldly: "Mr. Situ, do you think this general is a fool? Choose one from the three prefectures occupied by the Wuwei Army? The Wuwei Army occupies the south of the Yanzhou land, while our Shanyang Prefecture is in the north.
What does it mean if you ask this general to choose a mansion from the north and south?”
Situ Wen was stunned and then said, "I can select two of the three prefectures occupied by the Wuwei Army and exchange them for Siyang County. In this way, the general's jurisdiction is in the south. Isn't that the same?"
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "It seems that Lord Situ still has no sincerity to negotiate with me! My Shanyang Mansion is the second largest mansion in Yanzhou. Now it has been painstakingly managed by me and Lord Feng for four months.
You said I should switch to a mansion that was ruined by the Wuwei Army? In addition, Lord Feng is still a member of Shanyang Mansion and will never abandon his family and Xu Jie. The conditions for this general are as long as Yanzhou Mansion. If Lord Situ agrees, I will be the general.
He sent troops. If he didn't agree, the general could only sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and cheer for Lord Situ and King Yong, oh, and Xu Jie, shaking the flag to cheer."
Situ Wen said gloomyly: "General Li, don't be too greedy in life, you must see yourself clearly. Yanzhou Prefecture is not something you can greedy for."
Zhao Xun said indifferently: "Since that's the case, there is nothing to talk about. I can only wish Lord Situ a defeat in the Wuwei Army, but I am not optimistic about the Yanzhou Prefecture Army!"
Situ Wen sneered: "Don't you think? My King Yong army is coming here. Although the Yanzhou Prefecture Army is at a disadvantage for the time being, we will definitely be able to take the lead in the Wu Guard Army in the future. By then, the Shanyang Army wants to surrender to us.
But it's too late. By the way, the Shanyang Army seems to have not been recognized by the court, and is nominally under the command of Governor Xu Jie. If Xu Jie is the governor of Yanzhou, then the Shanyang Army can... "
Zhao Xun smiled disconcertedly and said, "Is that so? Then I will congratulate the reinforcements that Lord Situ was waiting for for arriving before the Wuwei Army captured Yanzhou City!" Zhao Xun was prepared for Situ Wen's response.
I know that it is definitely not so easy to take down Yanzhou Prefecture in one go. But Situ Wen's answer also made Zhao Xun very unhappy. The other party's intention was clearly warning himself that if he didn't work this time, he would be next time
When the army attacks, your Shanyang Army is the enemy.
Seeing Zhao Xun so badly, Situ Wen's face froze. It would be great if reinforcements could really arrive in time. Of course, it was not impossible, but the Qi Wang Army in Yuzhou was very hard to intercept. Although he wanted to turn the mountain.
Yang Jun brought him into his command, but Li Feng's conditions were too high, so high that he could not accept it. It was not because he was afraid that Xu Jie would not accept it. Now Xu Jie is in the front line. Although Yanzhou Prefecture is the capital of Yanzhou,
It is not that it cannot be abandoned. If Xu Jie chooses between tens of thousands of soldiers under his command and the territory of a mansion, Situ Wen believes that Xu Jie must have chosen the army.
But he didn't want this young general to take over Yanzhou Prefecture. It's nothing, because the other party's governance of the local area is too good. Given some time, the place of this prefecture will become the other party's stable force. The problem is that the Yong King's army is rushing now
If you don't come here, the Yanzhou Prefecture Army will not be able to do it. The Xuzhou Army is too busy to take care of itself. He believes that as long as you give the other party a month or two, the Yanzhou Prefecture will be difficult to get back. Let's set out to encircle and suppress the army, but it is that easy
Is it?
That's why he used reinforcements to shock the other party, hoping that the other party would give up this request because he was concerned about King Yong's army advancing eastward. But now it seems that the other party doesn't care at all.
"Let's watch General Li sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. I hope General Li can do what he can do! When the army of King Yong arrives, I hope General Li can say the same thing. If General Li has a new idea, please send someone to tell me.
Notify me of Yanzhou City. I am waiting for the general in Yanzhou City. Of course, the conditions I gave remain unchanged. Except as mentioned earlier, the Shanyang army dispatched all the food and grass to supply us. In addition, if General Li is unwilling to ask for it
The prefectures and counties in the south can still agree to the general and give them 300,000 silver coins as rewards afterwards. I will say goodbye!"
"If you don't send me off, go away! I will still say the same thing, and the conditions will never change. However, if Lord Situ comes to ask me for action next time, the conditions will increase." Zhao Xun said lightly.
Situ Wen had a slight time, then turned around and left.
"Haha... threaten me, okay, very good! Since that's the case, I'm not polite enough." Zhao Xun looked at the figure who was leaving and said coldly.
"Lord, we are going to attack the south now?" Feng Ziming asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Attack? Of course, there is no need, but the army also needs to be prepared. In addition, I also want to let the Xiaoguo Army put some pressure on the Yong King's army. Want to support me? Are you here?"

Zhuo Li was the former commander of the Nanhai Prefecture of Jiaozhou. However, after the rise of the princes of the world, the local government troops moved closer to the guard organization. Although Zhang Tao was unwilling to be controlled by King Murong Cheng of Qi, he was determined to be independent. Therefore,
The Jiaozhou Prefecture Army was organized into two categories: the Five Elite Divisions and the Local Garage Army. The Five Elite Divisions had 50,000 people, divided into front, back, left and right center. Zhuoli had a good lead in the army, so he was appointed as the Central General by Zhang Tao.
After Zhang Tao was divided into the Prince of Lingnan, he even named four generals as five generals. Zhuoli was the lieutenant general, that is, the elite army responsible for defending Guangzhou Prefecture and Guangzhou City.
Logically speaking, the lieutenant general of this town is the most important of the five tribes. After all, he was guarding the capital of Jiaozhou and the prince of Lingnan. But Zhuo Li was extremely annoyed by this. Why? It’s nothing but good.
The other four divisions were stationed in various parts of Jiaozhou. Because they were stationed outside, they gained a lot through various means. But there were indeed very few lieutenant generals in this most important town. Not only were they dissatisfied with themselves, but they were under their command.
Twenty thousand elite soldiers also became dissatisfied with him.
After Zhang Tao was self-reliant, he attached great importance to property and wanted to expand his power. Guangzhou Prefecture, as a capital, is the most prosperous seaside harbor city. The harvest was naturally great, and at the same time, it was strict.
In control of the soldiers in his hands, he did not want his subordinates to embezzle money, buy people's subordinates' hearts, and strengthen himself. Therefore, Zhang Tao had extremely strict requirements on the central government and eliminated the path of wealth from the upper and lower levels. Not only that, Zhang Tao was concerned about
The central "Imperial Guard" has extremely strict requirements and a huge amount of training. These are just a matter of fact, but Zhang Tao said bluntly in front of the soldiers in the central region that this was the lieutenant general who was doing it to provide his subordinates with combat power and let himself go.
He had a lot of grudges with his subordinates.
At this moment, Zhuo Li was in the study, frowning and his face changed constantly. He was hesitant, calm, sometimes fell into deep thought, sometimes cursing in a low voice. Why is this? It's nothing more, just because Situ Lei's messenger found him. If it's just
If Situ Lei's people found him, that's nothing. After all, in Jiaozhou, there are Murong Cheng's people and Situ Lei's people, and no one dares to say that they are blocked.
It was a bit difficult to decide when Zhuo Li arrived, and he was a little scared that Situ Lei's people found him and asked him to help the other party deal with Zhang Tao. When he heard the news, Zhuo Li was almost scared to the ground.
Although he was dissatisfied with Zhang Tao, it did not mean that he dared to attack Zhang Tao. After all, Zhang Tao was the governor of the Jiaozhou Prefecture Army. In addition to the 10,000 soldiers in his hands, there were 40,000 more soldiers in his hands.
In various parts of Jiaozhou, there are 5,000 Zhang Tao's personal guards in Guangzhou City, which is the elite among the elite.
But when he was encouraged by the other party, his resentment towards Zhang Tao could not help but swelled up. Of course, the most important thing was that Situ Lei's people promised him that if the matter succeeded and Zhang Tao was solved, then he would be the next governor of Jiaozhou.
, You can get a marquis. Zhuo Li acted in this regard. Why are you a governor or a prince, but we are just your subordinates and you won't get any benefits. At the dinner party in the evening, Zhuo Li's mind
, these words are constantly echoing.
"I don't do it, there are others to do it. Why can't I get the governor of Jiaozhou? I can't get the marquis? Why should I give it to others? This is the general who did it!" Zhuo Li gritted his teeth and made up his mind secretly.
.When I think of Situ Lei's people telling him that if he disagrees, the other party will contact others and ask others to take action. At that time, the governor and the marquis of Jiaozhou will be the other party. In addition, the other party also promised,
Half of the elite weapons left by Zhang Tao in Guangzhou City will turn to his side. All he needs to do is lead his army to break the city, take down Guangzhou City, and deal with Zhang Tao.

Pinggao City, the place where the intersection of Henan Henei Prefecture and Yanzhou is in the southeast of it, is the place of Yuzhou. This place has now become the place where the Yongwang Army and the Qiwang Army fight. The Yongwang Army wants to go east and advance
The land of Yanzhou. The King of Qi naturally wanted to block it. At the same time, the reinforcements from his side went north to enter the land of Yanzhou. Originally, this city close to the land of Yanzhou was controlled by the Yongzhou Prefecture Army. Unfortunately, the King of Yong was north of the Yongzhou Army.
The Xiaoguo Army was attracted by the abnormal movement and was transferred out of the city, and was occupied by the Shence Army, firmly blocking the way of the Yong King's army's eastward advance.
At this moment, outside Pinggao City.
The horns sounded and the drums shook the sky. Teams of Yong Wangjun slowly drove out from the barracks. They lined up in the desolate open space in front of the pass, under the dark sky, yellow sand rolled, flags fluttered, swords, guns, swords and halberds
Standing solemnly as a forest, the well railing formation, the huge figure of the catapult seemed to describe a ferocious ancient giant, standing coldly behind the Yong Wang Army.
The main formation of the central army, Zhong Wendao, the general under his command, stood in the wind and looked at the city that should have belonged to him.
On Pinggao City.
The general of the Shence Army, Xu Yandong, stood there with a touch of the wall. Is it finally about to start? A faint coldness flashed through Xu Yandong's eyes, and his whole body seemed to be upright pine trees. He stood there quietly, looking like he was not a mountain or a mountain.
Dew, dew, gives people a kind of insurmountable pressure.
"Clang clang clang~~"
Amid the endless sound of gold and iron collisions, nearly 10,000 Yong Wangjun troops were dressed neatly and formed formations outside the city.
"Arrowman~~array!"
"Pulleymen~~Get together!"
"Tube oil, lift the turbid oil~~"
"The rolling wood is placed here, and the piles are arranged neatly."
"Put the stones, carry more stones~~"
As the enemy's army changed under the city wall, the Shence army on the city wall began to prepare quickly under the instructions of Xu Yandong. The shrill sound of the military formation school came one after another, resounding throughout the sky, and the soldiers under their respective commands quickly began to assemble.
Arranged, and then drove up the city tower and set up the formation along the inside of the female wall. The suffocating and solemn aura spread endlessly between the world. On both sides, many new recruits who had never been on the battlefield had already turned pale,
I can't even say anything.
Only those veterans who have experienced many battles have a cold expression and a calm manner. These veterans who have come through the sea of swords and fires have the firm will of rocks. Even if the sky falls, they cannot change their qualities at all.
Outside Pinggao City, Zhong Wendao nodded gently and shouted coldly: "Start the attack."
"The general has an order to start attacking..."
More than ten fast horses scattered from the central army in an instant, passing Zhong Wendao's military orders layer by layer. In a flash, the low sound of horns suddenly became excited. The endless drum sound became even louder and more intense.
The raindrops hit the hearts of the soldiers of the Yong Wangjun. The hot blood suddenly began to boil.
Amid the rapid footsteps, teams of soldiers wearing heavy armor appeared in the siege sequence outside the city. If Zhao Xun and the people from the Xiaoguo Army saw this, they would be shocked. This is a standard heavy infantry.
Ah, there are actually five thousand subordinates here.
A total of 5,000 heavy infantrymen, 20,000 feet were heavily trampled on the desolate ground, gathering into a suffocating sound. Amid the rhythmic and iron-blooded murderous footsteps, the huge infantry phalanx began to slow down.
Move forward slowly. As you move, you start to change the formation. From the initial offensive and defense-based local formation, it gradually changes into a purely defensive, upside-down geese-shaped formation.
On Pinggao City, Xu Yandong, who had always been indifferent to the enemy troops outside the city, immediately put away his disregarded expression on his face after seeing the heavy armored soldiers, and then frowned in. A trace of coldness flashed through Xu Yandong's eyes. Look
Come on, this old bastard Situ Lei is hiding deep! I thought it was just the soldiers recruited by Situ Lei, but I didn't expect that this place was still elite. The infantry team was neat and the armor was tight. The formation was changing quickly.
Orderly, it can be called an elite soldier!
Then, Xu Yandong sneered again: "So what if that's the case? It doesn't matter if you provoke others, but if you have to provoke all the two major forces at once, you Situ Lei can't resist it."
