"Bastard! I want to make a fuss now, want to withdraw? Just Xu Jie is qualified enough?" After Xu Jie left, Situ Wen whispered, "I'll fight with the Wu Guard Army, kill the head commander of the Wu Guard Army and wipe out the Wu Guard Army.
Three, four or five soldiers, will the Wuwei Army accept you? Your Yanzhou Prefecture Army is not even as good as the Shanyang Army. It would be strange if they want a fool like you!"
Situ Wen was angry at Xu Jie's sudden threat, as if a person was confronted by a livestock he kept. When Xu Jie was powerful in the past, he did not dare to confront himself like this. Now that he has reached this point, he usually treats him with the pressure of his daily life.
How could he not be angry if he was respectful and destructive, but he also knew that Xu Jie still had a role at this moment. Before the Yong Wang army advanced eastward, the situation in Yanzhou still needed the destructive Yanzhou Prefecture Army.
Support with the Shanyang Army.
Situ Wen was dissatisfied with Xu Jie, and Xu Jie was also dissatisfied with Situ Wen. When he returned to his base, Xu Jie also cursed in his heart and his face was gloomy.
"Governor, Lord Ji is back!"
"Governor! My subordinates have successfully completed the transaction with the Xiaoguo Army, and have purchased both grain and armor and equipment." Ji Yun, who replaced Feng Ziming as the chief of the Governor's Office, said in a deep voice.
Xu Jie forced a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The materials you purchased have been received here. This time, you have made contributions. Come and see, the changes in the battle situation in the past few dozen days of your departure."
Ji Yun said anxiously: "Before his subordinates came back, they had heard that our army had been defeated in Luzhou Prefecture in Jizhou. General, why not let Li Chi send troops as expected? He could not keep his eyes open.
Seeing that his west side was occupied by the Wuwei Army, Xuzhou was surrounded by enemies."
Xu Jie smiled bitterly and said, "This is already united. It's not the problem I'm worried about, but the Shanyang Army in the southwest. This is what I'm worried about now. In addition...ah..."
Ji Yun frowned and said, "Shanyang Army? What are they doing?" Ji Yun was also more vigilant about the Shanyang Army. This inconspicuous force that rose from Feng Ziming has now strengthened the Xujie Road.
It's a point that has to be faced with it.
Xu Jie said hatred: "They asked us for the temporary management of the three prefectures they captured. In other words, the Shanyang army seized the three counties from the Wuwei Army. They had just been stabilized by us, but now they are now being
They occupied it. Although they were nominally considering the winter logistics of the army, who could believe this? What’s abominable is that they threatened us with withdrawal."
Ji Yun frowned and sighed: "After saying this, I have to agree, and Situ Wen will not let us refuse."
Xu Jie nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that we can't do it ourselves, otherwise how could we have the current situation? It's a mistake to promise Situ Wen to use the Shanyang army to conquer the Wuwei Army..." As he said that, Xu Jie shook his head repeatedly,
Sighing endlessly.
Ji Yun said in a low voice: "Governor, if we continue like this, our Yanzhou Prefecture Army is afraid... This Situ Wen is not a good thing. The Yong Wang army is advancing east next year, so whether we have any losses or not is no longer there.
They supported us money in order to fight with the Wuwei Army and consume our strength. Secondly, it was also to make the people in Yanzhou hate us. After all, in the war, the sufferings were still the ones that suffered.
Ordinary people.”
Xu Jie smiled bitterly and said deeply: "I think I am very powerful. I can rise up on the side like the King of Zhao in the north and compete for the world. Unexpectedly, I am actually a chess piece in the hands of someone else. Since I was with the Wuwei Army
At the beginning of the war, it fell into Situ Lei's plan step by step. Even though we knew that the more the war was, the weaker the foundation of our Yanzhou land would be and the more unstable the foundation I had for my foothold, but we were deeply trapped in it and could not extricate ourselves."
Seeing Ji Yun like Xu Jie continued, "I regret not following your opinions that day, and rashly cooperated with Situ Lei, intending to unite the three armies and take action against the Wuwei Army to achieve the goal of occupying Yanzhou. Now, the land of Yanzhou is in the north
There are Tang army, Shanyang army, and Wuwei army in the south, but our Yanzhou prefecture army is in the center and has struggled to support it. If this continues, I am afraid that our Yanzhou prefecture army will also come to an end."
Ji Yun smiled bitterly and said, "The land of Yanzhou and the land of four battles are not the best place to be the foundation. Moreover, the former generals and the three parties of the three sides were actually not an inappropriate method. However, Fengzi
There was a problem with Ming, and a Shanyang army suddenly broke out, blocking the Tang army to the north, forcing Tang Xian to enter Xuzhou east, causing the remaining two coalition forces to collapse again, and in the end, only our Yanzhou Prefecture Army was left to fight the Wuwei Army."
Xu Jie shook his head and said, "By using the power of others, it is not the best way. Why can Li Chi sit firmly in Xuzhou? Why can Zhao Xun dominate the north? Why can Tang Xian occupy northern Yanzhou and northern Xuzhou? It's not because they rely on their own hands.
The strength was built step by step. My heart was too big and I ignored the shortcomings of the foundation."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. In the future, the Shanyang Army will probably occupy our current jurisdiction, and Situ Wen will not get a good one. Feng Ziming... has a good vision!" Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh.
Ji Yun asked with divine light in his eyes: "Governor, are you sure of the Shanyang Army and the Xiaoguo Army..."
Xu Jie nodded and said, "Ten **! No matter what, I still have to fight. Wu Wei Army, King Yong Situ Lei, they all want to make the governor pale, so let them see, my Yanzhou Prefecture Army
It’s not a good person. If you want to swallow me and use me, they will get nothing.” As he said that, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes...
…………
In Fengwei County, the weather gradually became colder, and the dead leaves on the trees were almost over. Winter was about to come.
"Murrong Cheng has agreed to our request. According to the lord's wishes, a part of the navy has dressed up as a merchant ship and a sea boat to build a harbor in Qiongzhou, and cultivated farmland in the eastern half of Qiongzhou, and recruited refugees to settle in. In addition,
The talents selected for the scientific expedition were also properly placed in various positions according to the lord's instructions." Wei Chen, who came from Youzhou, specifically reported to Zhao Xun in detail some of the recent situation in Youzhou.
"Very good. I will send an order to the maritime merchants, allowing them to migrate refugees to Qiongzhou through sea boats and tribes to slowly operate there. Even if they cannot become military ports, they must establish a stable base there, at least for
In the future, the navy will accumulate logistics supplies to the south." Zhao Xun said with a smile. Zhao Xun was just a temporary idea for Qiongzhou, but if he could take it down, it would be the best.
"By the way, what about the Marine tribes? What's the war between the Liaodong Kingdom and the Marine tribes now? By the way, the north is now winter." Zhao Xun said with a smile, for Murong Cheng's response and scientific research.
It was very happy that the successful holding made him very happy.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "The Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Marine tribe were just fake fights at the beginning. But after our Marine Eight Banners soldiers pretended to be both sides and fought against each other, the two men began to officially fight. Because the lord owned them
It is said that if you want to take down a land, it will be stable, so the army's conquest is not fast. However, now the people of the two ministries have begun to be unable to bear the consequences of the war. In the two ministries, many people died due to lack of food and clothing.
, and many more fled into the northern Blackwater Marine tribe and our territory."
Zhao Xun Moran had already expected such a situation. After all, the Xiaoguo Army started to act, which caused chaos in the territory of the various troops of the Marine tribes. Coupled with the wanton destruction of the cavalry and the influx of large numbers of retreating people, they suddenly
It doubled the number of people in the territory of the Marine tribes, but the number of food and daily necessities did not increase but decreased. It would be strange if the territory of the Marine tribes was still normal. This purpose was also what Zhao Xun hoped to see. He cut off the Marine tribes
The supply of salt, tea, cloth, silk and other goods from the Ministry was deliberately sent to destroy the fields and some granaries of the Ministry of Marine, so the territory naturally could not be peaceful.
After listening to the situation described by Wei Chen, Zhao Xun also began to issue some military orders accordingly, preparing to let Wei Chen take it back later. One of them is the navy organization, the original offshore navy, that is, the current navy, including Youzhou and Qingzhou.
Division, but with the disadvantages of possible layout and geographical division in the south, Zhao Xun decided not to divide it, but to organize it with numbers. That is, the first, second and third fleets of the Navy are responsible for from north to south respectively
maritime wars.
The second is to deprive local officials of the right to privately recruit officials. In the past, officials were appointed by the court, and officials were selected from scholars with fame or from lower-level officials, only according to
A certain rank can be reported to the government of the corresponding rank. But now, officials are appointed directly by the court, and officials cannot privately recruit assistants and minor officials. Of course, except for their own private aides, but such private aides are not organized in the court's official position, and the court does not
He will provide him with money. All officials are appointed by the court, and some low-level minor officials are recommended by local officials. They are subject to unified assessments within a state for a certain period of time every year, and then they will decide whether they are competent for this position.
The third is to expand the scale of the money shop, which should be spread all over the Xiaoguo Army. Zhao Xun hopes that the people under the Xiaoguo Army can deposit money into the money shop as circulating currency, rather than as treasures, and hide it underground.
, waiting for these gold, silver and copper coins to have children.
What remains is the war between the troops of the Marine tribes. When winter comes, although the Xiaoguo Army has prepared sufficient winter clothes, Zhao Xun still does not want the army to engage in large-scale wars in winter. The weather is cold and it is difficult for soldiers to adapt, and logistics transportation is also
Big problem. Furthermore, the injured soldiers are prone to problems in winter. If they encounter heavy snow, it will be a big problem. In addition, they have also begun to build cities, docks and official roads in stable places, so that these will be captured.
The occupied areas become their own jurisdiction.
When Wei Chen came this time, he basically brought good news, which made Zhao Xun extremely happy for several days. With Ge Xin's arrival again, Zhao Xun let go of the last thing.
"So, your governor has agreed?" Zhao Xun said with a smile to Ge Xin, who was indignant in front of him.
Ge Xin smiled bitterly and said, "In the eyes of the general, isn't this condition almost certain? As the general said, our Yanzhou Prefecture Army and the governor have no choice. If you don't do anything else, just for the hundreds of thousands of people behind you.
Considering that we also need to submit the conditions of the general, right?"
Zhao Xun did not respond positively, but asked, "By the way, since Governor Xu has agreed to my conditions, where will Lord Ge be transferred in the future?"
Ge Xin sighed and said, "I will listen to the orders of Jiyinfu for the time being. I think, judging from my current performance here, I am afraid that I will get the appointment again, which will not be available in a short while."
Zhao Xun didn't say anything, and he knew about the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. He ceded Yanzhou Prefecture and lost Luzhou Prefecture. This caused a large number of original officials to lose their posts, and the Yanzhou Prefecture Army could not arrange so many officials. Although Ge Xin was Xu
Jie's confidant, but he lived with the Shanyang Army here, but did not complete the tasks he should have completed. Instead, he lost the three counties that he had worked hard to sort out and stabilize. Naturally, Xu Jie would not directly pull him to the highest position.
.Of course, Xu Jie now doesn't care about the appointment of these civil servants, and he cares more about the war in Luzhou Prefecture.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xun said: "Our Shanyang Army had no intention of occupying the land of these three counties for a long time, just to ensure winter. In addition, our army only has soldiers and no civil officials here. So, Li wanted to
I would like to ask Lord Ge to stay here and continue to manage local government affairs. Of course, everything must be done under our command. Lord Ge, what do you think?"
Ge Xin shook his head and said, "This...is probably inappropriate! Since the land of these three counties was handed over to the general, the officials of our Yanzhou Prefecture Army will retreat north one by one. It is inconsistent for me to stay here!"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Mr. Ge, you don't think your governor is really willing to hand over this place to me. Besides, I don't have civil officials in my hands, so I'll let you continue to govern the people here. Wouldn't you be right with Governor Xu?"
I mean? Lord Ge has been here for more than two months and has a great reputation in the hearts of the people. Now, there are too few officials who can do practical things for the people. Lord Ge, do you hope that we will make the place where you have worked hard to settle down in a mess.
?In addition, when returning to Jiyin Mansion, Lord Ge is not idle at home yet, this is not something a good official should do."
Ge Xin shook his head and wanted to say something. But Zhao Xun continued, "Mr. Ge, it's just a few months. Even if Master Ge goes north now, he will continue to come next year. Master Ge is in charge of the place, I think,
Governor Xu will definitely not have any objections. Of course, if Lord Ge is unwilling, I will not force him. However, if there is insufficient logistics or Jizhou needs a population, I will not mind using the people here to exchange for my place.
The supplies needed.”
Upon hearing this, Ge Xin's face changed. He pointed at Zhao Xun and said, "General Li, what are you doing? Trafficking humans? How can you do this? For the sake of military supplies, you treat the people as a transaction."
Zhao Xun sneered: "Mr. Ge, do you think the people here are better to live in Yanzhou, or to live in Jizhou? Besides, this is the front line of the outbreak of war. Isn't it for them to let them enter Jizhou?
Safety. If the entire Shanyang Army joins the war, but there are no personnel to manage local government affairs, instead of letting me riots and exploding hidden dangers, it is better to move them to a safe place."
"Of course, if Lord Ge is willing to stay and help us manage the place, it is natural that there is no need to say. This general has no other requirements. Apart from financial and taxation and food transactions, Lord Ge is responsible for general government affairs."
Ge Xin's face changed constantly, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will stay. I will tell you everything to the governor!"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "In this way, the people here should thank Lord Ge."
"General, this Ge Xin seems to be difficult to win over!" Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yongxue smiled and said, "Brother Lu, I'm afraid I've already made a certain plan compared to the general's arrangement. Although this person is not easy to win over, Ge Xin is indeed an official who can do practical things, but
It's worth winning."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "There is no plan, but we can have a relationship between Ge Xin and Xu Jie. If Xu Jie has doubts about him, do you think Ge Xin can continue to serve Xu Jie?
Zhang Yongxue, you should be responsible for this matter. Cut off the connection between Ge Xin and Xu Jie and create fake letters. As long as Xu Jie has doubts, this is not a problem here."h!~!
