As soon as Zhang Yongxue said this, everyone was stunned. Then Guan Lin laughed and said, "Old Zhang, what he said is reasonable! General, this should be like this. Xu Jie cannot manage the local area, and the burden on the local people is very heavy.
As Qin Xiao of Changli County said, many people from Songzhou Prefecture have flowed into Changli County in order to reduce taxes and divide land."
Speaking of the distribution of land in Changli County, it is not that the policies here are the same as those of the Xiaoguo Army and the Shanyang Army, but that Zhao Xun moved most of the people here and solved the big gentry in the city.
Therefore, there were many land without a master, so under the proposal and appointment of the Shanyang Army, Ge Xin was forced to agree to jointly handle the matter and distribute the land to the people in the city and the refugees entering the country. For this reason, Qin Xiao repeatedly made this happen.
In front of Ge Xin, the government of Changli County should thank the Shanyang Army, otherwise it would not have won the hearts of the people. Ge Xindao didn't care about this, but the officials below were very angry.
Lu Yu also said: "General, I think what Zhang Duwei said is very much. This place under Xu Jie's jurisdiction is useless and they cannot control it. We should accept it."
Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "I will talk about this matter later. Now, we need to tell Ge Xin that from now on, everything temporary belongs to us."
Zhao Xun was not tempted to seize the orthodox and the land he controlled from Xu Jie, but he was not ready yet, and the Xuzhou army was also an uncertain factor.

"What? General Li, I heard it right? Do you want to receive all the taxes from the three counties?" After hearing what Zhao Xun said, Ge Xin frowned.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Tax? Lord Ge, there is no tax in Changli County in these three counties, and some are just Fan County and Fengwei County. The food I want in the three counties
The only trade target is our Shanyang Army. In addition, we must collect commercial taxes like our Shanyang Army. Fan County and Fengwei County should check hidden households, measure land, and allocate land to the people without land.
.Of course, we did not occupy the land of these three counties for a long time, but we will withdraw from here before the spring of the following year, or when our army evacuates."
Zhao Xun spoke lightly, but Ge Xin frowned when he heard it. If nothing else was said, the last sentence was to threaten him. Either agree to the conditions of the Shanyang army, or our Shanyang army would withdraw. It would be a joke, if it was
Now that the Shanyang army has withdrawn, the Yanzhou Prefecture Army is completely finished.
Ge Xin frowned and said with a gloomy face: "General Li, the Shanyang army moved the people in our territory, killed the gentry, confiscated the wealth, and secretly recruited soldiers on the territory of our Yanzhou Prefecture Army. We all think that the generals are here.
To defeat the Wuwei Army and fulfill our agreement. However, the general's request now has exceeded the boundaries between you and me. General, it is difficult for me to accept your request. General, what General said is that the soldiers are not capable of combating enough.
Our Yanzhou Prefecture Army did not force the command before dispatching. But now, the general's move will place our Yanzhou Prefecture Army in this regard?"
Zhao Xun did not expect that Ge Xin would react so much. He knew that he had already put forward such conditions and was already forcing the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, but Zhao Xun thought there was nothing wrong with it. Think about Xu Jie and
Situ Wen's repeated temptations and small actions at the beginning, it is understandable to do this.
"Mr. Ge, what is the reason for our Shanyang Army expanding its army in this way? Isn't it to prevent the Wuwei Army from going north in Chenliu Mansion to the south? Isn't it because our army suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Wuwei Army in Fengwei County?
Compared to your Yanzhou Prefecture Army, who are you sorry for the current performance of our Shanyang Army?" Zhang Yongxue said in a cold voice.
"Although my Shanyang army was given the price for you to pay, whether to fight hard or not in a war or not is our own business. Lord Ge, to put it bluntly, it is our army and you
The Yanzhou Prefecture Army is like the one who fights and retreats, so you can't say anything. After all, the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, which has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, has all been defeated, so what else can we say?"
"But we not only took back the three counties that the Songzhou Prefecture had been taken away by the Wuwei Army, but also defeated the Wuwei Army's attack. As Lord Ge said, we traded with the Xiaoguo Army for the purpose of fighting. But now we are now
Isn’t it to temporarily occupy the place and take over the finance, taxation and material trade here to fight the Wuwei Army?”
"At the beginning, there were 10,000 soldiers, and the logistics supplies such as money, grain, weapons, armor and equipment were transported from Shanyang Prefecture, passing through Yanzhou Prefecture, Jiyin Prefecture to Songzhou Prefecture. If you don't want to talk about the inconvenience, the land of the mansion is north of the land.
On the other hand, we must supply the army stationed at the intersection of Shanyang Prefecture and the Tang army, and on the other hand, we must provide logistics supplies for the army to go out to expedition. Finally, we must provide the foundation for the Yanzhou Prefecture to stabilize the people. Lord Ge, you are a civil servant, you should understand what it is.
The difficulties lie."
"Now, although Yanzhou Prefecture is in our hands, it cannot provide us with effective help. It is late autumn now, and it will take long to be winter. The army needs winter clothes and food, which are all great trouble. Once the road is snowed.
Have you ever thought about the problem that has been blocked? Today, what we do is just to ensure the logistics support of the army guarding Songzhou Prefecture. What? Does Lord Ge want our Shanyang Army to withdraw from Yanzhou Prefecture?"
Zhang Yongxue said, and then said with a little contempt: "Mr. Ge, the performance of our Shanyang Army's contributions is already very good. It is much better than that you have received the funding of King Yong Situ Lei and have lost consecutive battles.
If you suspect that we have other ideas, you can report it. Our army is worried that the winter dietary route will be blocked and trigger other unpredictable changes. We request a temporary return to Yanzhou Prefecture and bring about another conquest after the beginning of the year."
After hearing this, Ge Xin's face changed constantly. After a while, he said, "I will report this matter. As for how the above responds, I don't know yet. Now, I can't give an answer."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It's okay! This year's winter is a little bit, and it's almost a month before the winter comes. If you don't agree at that time, please send a garrison army to take over this place and guard this city, and wait for the Shanyang army to return to the next year.
war."
Ge Xin left with complicated thoughts. How could he not know what Shanyang Army was fighting? It would be difficult to swallow it and vomit it out. The other party was just slowly weakening himself. But now, Yanzhou
There are not many choices for the government army. If the Shanyang army evacuated, why don’t the Yanzhou government army not say anything? The Yanzhou government army is almost over.

Yangzhou Prefecture.
"The Xiaoguo Army wants to buy a part of Qiongzhou Island from us for the maritime merchant supply point?" Murong Cheng said with a frown. Because of the situation in Jiaozhou, Murong Cheng has begun to become at a disadvantage again, and now he has to worry.
"Qiongzhou? Do we have a station in Qiongzhou?"
"There were no generals before. Here are fishermen who moved from Jiaozhou before. The island is far inferior to Jiaozhou and is relatively deserted. However, in order to deal with Jiaozhou, there are now temporary military ports in the west, stationed as a navy.
The land.” Zhang Tu said in a deep voice.
"What does Zhao Xun want to do? It is absolutely impossible to ask for a place to rest on the sea without purpose." Murong Cheng said in a deep voice. Now he has begun to become more and more careful with Zhao Xun.
Zhang Tu pondered: "It is certain to have other purposes, and it makes sense to consider maritime businessmen. Because the actions of our navy suddenly destroyed the maritime trade of the countries around Jiaozhou, causing the sea to travel from south to north.
The ship was not replenished in Jiaozhou, a place where food and water was originally resting and replenished. It makes sense that Xiaoguojun wanted to see the harbor here for merchants to stop."
Murong Cheng said in a muffled voice: "Zhao Xun is sinister and cunning, with diverse minds. It's a bit bad for him to set up a harbor south of us."
Zhang Tu said: "Prince, we will establish a military port on Qiongzhou Island to supervise the Jiaozhou area to prevent the Situ Lei army from building a naval army in Jiaozhou, and at the same time, we can also monitor the actions of the Xiaoguo Army. They said that we should use it with the maritime business.
As long as it is not a warship, what are we afraid of? Prince, the Xiaoguo Army's bid is not low this time, and 15,000 war horses will be transported by sea. Of course, we have to pay the freight, and they want the western half of Qiongzhou.
.”
"Ten thousand?" Murong Cheng's heart moved.
"The prince, whether it is Yanzhou, Yuzhou, or even Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, cavalry are extremely scarce, and our infantry is still at a disadvantage against the cavalry of the superior Tu Lei. Although the Qiongzhou area governs the people,
But not much. After all, the sea trade in the coastal areas of Jiaozhou is still very prosperous, and life is not very hard in Jiaozhou. Those who fled to other places will be executed. They are half a deserted one.
I think it's worth it to change to the island with excellent war horses."
"Now Situ Lei has begun to draw troops in various states. He is preparing to fight to the death with our army after the next year. Now is the time for us to start strengthening the military's combat effectiveness, and war horses are one of the most shortages of materials."
After a pause, Zhang Tu said again: "Although we could buy horses from the north in the past, the amount was not large and they were all restricted by the Xiaoguo Army. But this time, in addition to using war horses to exchange, they also relaxed us.
The amount of war horses purchased. Of course, the premise is that we promised them the conditions, and we must also ensure that we must not intercept the sea ships of the merchants who went south by the Xiaoguo Army."
"Prince, this is the mood information sent back from Jiaozhou!" As he was speaking, another soldier hurried over.
"Sure enough, this Situ Lei will not give up." After reading the information, Murong Cheng said with a hatred.
"General, what's the deal between us and the Xiaoguo Army?" Zhang Tu asked anxiously. To be honest, he was interested in the war horse resources in the north. He smashed the King of Qi, who lacked cavalry in the stalemate of Yuzhou and Jingzhou.
The army is naturally at a disadvantage in all aspects. More importantly, among the troops recruited by Situ Lei, the Liangzhou army is a good cavalryman. At that time, there will be no cavalry on its own side, and fighting with them in Yuzhou and Yanzhou will be a must
A big loss.
"Prince, what are Situ Lei going to do?" After agreeing to the deal between Murong Cheng, Zhang Tu focused his attention on the information in Murong Cheng's hands.
Murong Cheng said coldly: "As we expected, Situ Lei saw the benefits of the navy. Now, this old guy has asked Jiaozhou to start recruiting new navy soldiers and preparing to build his own navy."
Zhang Tu smiled and said, "It's not because several trading ports along the coast of Jiaozhou were burned by our army that Situ Lei's careful planning was all failed. If he still couldn't see the role of the navy, it would be really not that difficult for him.
But although the navy is not able to be trained in a short time, it also shows that this may be a huge potential threat. The prince should let the navy inspect more people, and if they discover it, take action immediately.
”
Murong Cheng nodded and said, "Not only that, we must also increase the raid on the enemy's troops in Jiaozhou. In addition, we must also increase the former Jiaozhou Prefecture Army and Situ Lei's Yong army who were dissatisfied with the rebelliousness and surrendered to the enemy.
Support. Don’t be afraid of spending more money. As long as they can restrain the Yong army, it is worth it. We can even let them attack us with exceptions and achieve greater results." For Murong Cheng, now, Situ Leicai
He is the biggest enemy. Think about it, his dignified royal family and his title of prince have been played by a prime minister. Not only did he give up a lot of rewards, but he also joined forces with the princes to attack him, and he almost declared that he was a traitor to the royal family.
"In addition, if we want to marry the recruitment of new soldiers, we should not directly make them soldiers of our army, but also make them reserve soldiers. During the war, we can also replenish the places we need in time. Now we have gone from
From south to north, they are fighting against the enemy, and the soldiers are extremely injured. If they cannot be replenished in time, it will lead to a vacancy in a certain place. In Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Yangzhou and Yuzhou, soldiers have all begun to be recruited and trained during the slack farming period.
, let them be prepared to go to war at any time." Murong Cheng said in a deep voice.
"What happened to us when we went to Youzhou to negotiate with Xiaoguojun. What happened to them? After all, Xiaoguojun is also the target designed by Situ Lei. We will never react. Could it be that this loss will be a sure thing
?”
Zhang Tu responded in a deep voice: "Prince, Xiaoguo Army replied that they were busy managing the rivers and conquering the tribes of the Marine tribes. They could not worry about fighting on both sides at the same time, so, except for occasionally assisting us,
