"Meet the lord!" In Yanzhou City, in the Grand Governor's Office, the main civil and military officers of the Yanzhou army paid a visit to the Yanzhou army who had not appeared for almost half a year, the Grand Governor of Yanzhou "Li Feng".
Zhao Xun smiled indifferently and said, "You are exempt from gifts. In the past six months, you have performed well and the governor is also very satisfied. Yes, we have fought several princes one after another, and we can recover in such a short time.
You all have made a great contribution.”
"I dare not take credit!"
"I will remember your contributions in my heart. In the future, I will not forget you. Well, these are all rewards in the future." Zhao Xun said calmly, because these are people who know Zhao Xun's identity.
Therefore, no one was dissatisfied with Zhao Xun's words, but instead was secretly happy in his heart. After all, Zhao Xun's words also represent an acknowledgement of their recent contributions.
The civil and military officials of the Yanzhou army explained the current situation in Yanzhou. Overall, the development of the Yanzhou army was still very good. Because the canal in Zhao area in the north connected to the Yellow River channel in the Yanzhou area, the number of merchants in the Yanzhou area was greatly increased.
.In addition, the system and policies of Yanzhou are very similar to those of Zhao, so business has flourished a lot.
The hidden dangers brought by Zhao Xun and his former Yanzhou Governor Xu Jie's battle gradually disappeared in more than half a year last year. Although all parts of the world were learning the system and policies of Zhao, the Yanzhou Army was the most similar. In order to resist
During the Qi army, the Yanzhou army also expressed its intention to form an alliance with the Zhao army, and even surrender to the Zhao army when it was forced to do so. Therefore, the Yanzhou army now has a very smooth transaction with the Zhao army, and will not let other princes feel too dissatisfied.
.Even, the Tang army, Xuzhou army and even the Qi army in the south, traded through merchants in Yanzhou and Zhao.
Ordinary people also gained great benefits through the Yanzhou Army's measurement of land, distribution of land, tax reduction and exemption, and also gained great benefits and rested, which also made the Yanzhou governor "Li Feng", the support of the people.
.The prosperity of commerce has made the Yanzhou Army gradually become stronger. At least, it is much stronger than when Xu Jie was in power. Now, neither the Tang Army nor the Xuzhou Army dares to underestimate the Yanzhou Army.
Last year, it participated in the coalition forces fighting against Situ Lei with the Qi army, but it did not make the Yanzhou army deeply trapped. Of course, this was also related to Tang Xian and Li Chi's unwillingness to be used by Murong Cheng. Therefore, although the Yanzhou army suffered 50,000 or 60,000 casualties
The four guards, but the front, back, left and right guards have officially grown up and are not afraid of any challenges.
In addition to being occupied by the Yanzhou army, the two northern prefectures were also occupied by the Tang army. Because both sides were part of the expedition to Situ Lei, there was no major friction between the two sides in half a year. However,
The development of Yanzhou made Tang Xian's mouth bitter.
According to Feng Ziming, because the prefectures and counties in Yanzhou under the Yanzhou army were implemented in accordance with the new policy of Zhao, not only did the people obtain land, but also reduced a lot of taxes. But what about the two prefectures occupied by the Tang army in the north?
It is still the same as before. Even if there is improvement, it is far inferior to the prefectures and counties under the Yanzhou Army. Therefore, the people in the two prefectures occupied by the Tang army were dissatisfied. Although these ordinary people would not fight against the government,
Many people from the two northern prefectures began to migrate south and live under the rule of the Yanzhou army. Of course, many went directly north and lived in Zhao.
Under Yanzhou and Zhaodi, there are household registration departments in various places. If new refugees and people want to live in the local area and obtain land, they need to apply for new household registration in the household registration department before they can allocate land.
Of course, the Yanzhou military officials accepted all the people. After all, it was their freedom to live where the people were willing to live. But this was not good news for the Tang army, which had fewer jurisdictions.
Without the people, there would be no soldiers, horses, money and food. Tang Xian knew very well. But he could not directly condemn the Yanzhou army. After all, this was not the other party who entered the country and directly robbed. As a last resort, he had to strengthen investigations on the border, but on the other hand
He gave a note to the Yanzhou army and asked the Yanzhou army to prohibit the people who came down from the north. Feng Ziming naturally ignored the Tang army's request.
In addition, when everyone was staring at the battle with Situ Lei, the civil servants sent from Youzhou also had full control of the governance rights of all prefectures and counties in Yanzhou and the rights of local county soldiers and government soldiers.
The same is true for the land. In Yanzhou, the government directly manages the village level and sets up inspection departments to be responsible for local public security and supervision.
And those powerful local tribes that were not good for the Yanzhou army finally surrendered in the past six months. In the first half of the year, some of them were dealt with by the Yanzhou army with force or sent to the battlefield to fight against Situ Lei forever.
Some of them began to enter the commercial channels and gain wealth on the other hand. As the saying goes, life is like rape. Since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy it. These powerful households finally understood that the Yanzhou military government is unbreakable.
Of course, in addition to some adapting to their current life, some moved to the Tang army in the north or the Xuzhou army in the east. The Yanzhou army did not interfere too much with these people, which was why the Yanzhou army unceremoniously accepted the people from both places into the country.
The reason. Besides, if these people leave, in addition to taking away money that can be easily taken away, the land is naturally the property of our lord and becomes the government. In addition, if these people leave, they can also reduce those unsafe
Hidden dangers. In short, the departure of these people is far more beneficial than disadvantages to the Yanzhou military officials.
"It's done well. The development of Yanzhou Army has been beyond my expectations. After all, we can't just pull Yanzhou and Zhao Di together." Zhao Xun said with a smile. As for the current situation in Yanzhou, he naturally
Very satisfied.
Feng Ziming said in a deep voice: "Maybe because we are too close to Zhao, both Tang Xian of the Tang army and Li Chi of Xuzhou are extremely wary of us. Or, the Tang army and Xuzhou army
Now they all have the vague intention of joining forces to suppress our Yanzhou army."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "These are certain. After all, the Yanzhou army is getting closer and closer to our Zhao area, and they are becoming more and more suspicious and afraid that the Yanzhou army will be swallowed up by the Zhao army. Now, except for the Zhao army in the north, Yong is in the west.
The army and the Qi army in the south are the three weaker forces, the Tang army, the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army. The Yanzhou army is on the flank of the Tang army and the Xuzhou army. Once there is a change, the two will fall into crisis. They are prepared for the defense.
, it's normal."
"However, we can't go too close to the north, at least not now. Ordinary trade is OK, and some materials must not flow from the north on top of the weapons and armor. If they are allowed to notice our Zhao army and Yanzhou army, we will definitely not flow into our Zhao army and Yanzhou army.
The direct relationship is a big trouble. Even if they suspect it, they cannot make them suspect that the Yanzhou army is part of the Zhao army. At most, they will feel that the Zhao army is backed by our Yanzhou army, or, in other words,
Zhao Jun has a close relationship.”
Feng Ziming nodded and said, "The Lord's words are reasonable, and it should be like this. However, according to the guess that the lord's visit here this time will definitely change the situation where we are isolated."
Zhao Xun laughed and said, "You sent the news to Youzhou, and it is normal for you to guess it. So, what do you think we should do now?"
Feng Ziming's face turned right and said, "The Zhao army did not move, Yanzhou army contacted the Tang army, and Xuzhou army attacked the Qi army. If possible, it would also suffer a great loss in the hands of the Lord last year and was suppressed by Murong Cheng.
Thunder also pulled into the water. In this way, the Zhao army sat on the mountain to watch the tiger's fight, and severely weakened the Qi army."
Zhao Xun stroked his hands and said, "Good you, Feng Ziming, are indeed smart, you guessed that you are inseparable from ten. It seems that the head of a state is not suitable for you, and the place is too narrow."
Feng Ziming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The master has praised it. As the chief official of Yanzhou, he should take full advantage of the situation in Yanzhou. At present, there is only one thing related to our Yanzhou army. I thought about it more and considered it.
If there are many, we will naturally point out the most in line with our interests. If we cannot solve the current situation well, it will be the biggest dereliction of duty."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "The movement of the Yanzhou army this time is to win over the Tang army, Xuzhou army and Situ Lei, and dismantle the Qi army as Ziming said. Situ Lei is still old, and according to reliable information, his health is almost the same.
In addition, his son is busy with the title of regicide and his son is busy seizing power, so he is not our biggest enemy. But this King of Qi Murong Cheng is different. He is young and strong and occupies the most prosperous place in the Great Zhao, even in the current Zhao area.
, and at least, the basic ratio is worse. Therefore, he makes us the object of primary weakening."
Wei Dong nodded slightly and said, "But that's the case. Last year, Murong Cheng failed to conquer Situ Lei. He first saw the master seize the land of Bingzhou and the Northern Pass, and defeated the Turks. He felt unwilling to accept it. Now, it's even more
Abandoning his name of righteousness and trying to attack his allies. If the Yanzhou army was really controlled by others, I am afraid that it is very likely that he would agree to the benefits promised by Murong Cheng and take down Xuzhou. By then, Murong Cheng will conquer the Tang army again and even surrender forcibly
The Yanzhou army will have a great advantage. And we have great hatred against Situ Lei and Turks, and will fall into a situation of attacking north and south. Therefore, it is most in our interests to attack Murong Cheng first.
It would be best if we could break up the Qi army."
Zhao Xun said: "Since you have no meaning in general direction, then take this as the basis. Feng Ziming, send someone to contact the Tang army and Xuzhou army. In addition, you must also attract Situ Lei. I believe that I will attack Murong Cheng,
He is also extremely happy.”
Wei Dong asked: "Then how do we respond to Murong Cheng? After all, Murong Cheng's attack on the east and raided the Xuzhou army, but he had to pass through our southeast corner."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Promise him, but let him give him more benefits. As for passing through our southeast corner, I guess his army will not really fight to the two passes before the time being and then attack eastward.
.I am afraid that when I arrive in Yuzhou, I will rush my troops eastward. Even in Yuzhou, I will attack the Xuzhou army that went to war."
…………
"The Yanzhou Army agreed? All the benefits needed are agreed. After I took over the Xuzhou Army, Zhao Army, Turks and Situ Lei, did he let us deal with it at will?" After receiving the reward from the envoy, Murong Cheng
Laughed excitedly.
"What? Are you unhappy? With the support of the Yanzhou Army, we act faster and faster?" Seeing the picture of his confidant Zhang, Zhong Yan and Fei Bin both looked worried, Murong Cheng said unswervingly.
, "I know you don't want me to join forces with the Yanzhou Army, but you should also know that the Yanzhou Army has been suppressed by the Tang army and the Xuzhou Army, and it is strong and powerful. We need to take the Xuzhou Army as fast as possible, and at the same time
Weak the Yanzhou army."
After a pause, Murong Cheng continued: "In addition, pulling Yanzhou troops in is to prevent them from making trouble behind us. At the same time, it is also a Situ Lei who can relieve the pressure so that he can attack Zhao's army. Any one of them is away.
The princes are a big hidden danger to us. Now that Li Feng of Yanzhou has agreed to join forces with us, do you have anything else to worry about?”
Zhang Tu said with a serious expression: "Prince, what we want to do in our raid on the Xuzhou Army is to catch everyone off guard. Now, contacting Yanzhou Army will inevitably reveal this secret matter. We can guarantee that the secret is not allowed.
It will be noticed by outsiders, but can the Yanzhou army guarantee it?"
"The Yanzhou army and the Zhao army are very close, and the two sides have in-depth cooperation in trade. In Yanzhou and within the Yanzhou army's civil and military officials, there is still no idea how many people are serving the Zhao army. We cannot ignore the leak of the news.
It's dangerous, and once Zhao Jun learns the news, it's still unknown what kind of results will be produced."
Murong Cheng's face moved slightly and said coldly: "What should you do now? The agreement has been reached with the Yanzhou army. Now, what we need to do is prepare for the army's operations, rather than worrying that these have not happened yet.
What happened. Li Feng, the leader of the Yanzhou Army, was willing to be annexed by the Zhao army? He should know how to do it. Even if he had people from the Zhao army under his command, Li Feng should avoid these people for himself."
Seeing Murong Cheng say this, Zhang Tu and others can't say more. After all, their concerns can only be something that may happen. The plan has been unfolded, and what needs them is to take action and win. But no matter what,
Zhang Tu and others still felt extremely uneasy.
…………
When Murong Cheng received the reply from the Yanzhou Army, Li Chi, the Xuzhou Army, also received news from the Yanzhou Army and the envoy of the Yanzhou Army. Of course, the envoy of the Yanzhou Army did not simply bring Li Chi to inform him, he wanted to go to the Xuzhou Army with the Xuzhou Army.
Joining forces to make Murong Cheng fall into a big fall in this operation. Although Zhao Xun meant to join forces with the Tang army, Xuzhou army and Situ Lei, the most important thing is to talk about the Xuzhou army being pulled up, and then
Only then can we solve other problems. If the Xuzhou army does not cooperate, everything is empty talk.
Li Chi was very surprised and angry at the secret information brought by the Yanzhou Army envoy. Of course, if he was true, Li Chi did not reply directly. After arranging the Yanzhou Army envoy to rest, he immediately asked someone to send him a message.
Report the movements of the Yangzhou army, especially the situation in the southern part of Xuzhou, to itself.
It is natural that the Qi army would not be prepared at all if they wanted to attack the Xuzhou army. Various intelligence investigations and hidden activities were naturally indispensable. Under the investigation of the Xuzhou army's secret guards, some abnormal movements were placed on Li Chi.
In front of the eyes.
Li Chi was naturally extremely angry. He responded to Murong Cheng's rebellion and was ready to respond for the second time. The result was that he didn't see any of them. Instead, Qi Jun hit him with attention. This made him unable to let him do it.
Resentment. Furthermore, the Xuzhou army and the Qi army are also old rivals. The Qi army has always wanted to annex this Xuzhou that is blocking its head.
"Your army is so kind, Li will never forget it! How can your army's intention be solved in this situation?" Li Chi was not vague. He knew that the other party sent the news, so he had a purpose. Otherwise, what should the other party do to make a decision?
Want to help yourself?
"Murrong Cheng intends to use heavy mercy to induce my master to send troops to you, so as to achieve the effect of joining forces to raid you and taking you off as quickly as possible. However, my master is naturally not a villain who is a villain who is using his allies to attack you, so he is naturally also
I understand that Murong Cheng is just a use of our Yanzhou army. After eliminating your army, he will not be able to escape Murong Cheng's suppression. Therefore, my head hopes to join forces with your army, use the tricks and defeat Murong Cheng. Of course, I can do so.
The benefits of the division are the best. Governor, do you think you?"
Li Chi pondered for a moment and said, "This Murong Cheng is powerful and it is hard for you and me to be hostile. If we spread the news that Murong Cheng wants to attack his allies, wouldn't it be better? It would be possible for Murong Cheng to put away such plans,
You can also eliminate the disaster of war, what do you think?"
"If we do this, our Yanzhou Army will become Murong Cheng's primary target. Governor Li, you will not treat your allies who just saved you like this. If you are only willing to spread the news in advance, then
, Our Yanzhou Army can only go all the way with the Qi army. After all, our Yanzhou Army alone is not the opponent of the Qi army. At that time, will Xuzhou be attacked by two armies on both sides? It is not our ability to
It's decided." The envoy of the Yanzhou Army said without hesitation. Just kidding, spread the news now, isn't it telling Murong Cheng that our Yanzhou Army had just promised him and turned around and sold him?
Li Chi smiled disconcertedly and said, "Of course, our Xuzhou army and Qi army are also mortal enemies. Since he was unrighteous this time, we happened to be famous in the army. However, based on our two sides alone, it is not
Murong Cheng’s opponent. Even if he is intentional or unintentional, he cannot achieve greater results?"
"Tang Army and Yong Army, they are also Murong Cheng's opponents. For this operation, we can take action together. We can cut a knife on the fat piece of Qi Army. Governor Li, what do you think?"
Li Chi's heart moved and secretly moved. He also knew that Situ Lei's actions were the most ruthless sword against Murong Cheng. However, if the Xuzhou army, Yanzhou army and Qi army fought, with Situ Lei's temperament, it would be natural.
I will not be indifferent. Don’t forget that last year, Situ Lei was beaten up by Murong Cheng’s manifesto.
