Huaiyin Prefecture, Quyang City. Since the people of Huaiyin City and the surrounding six counties were massacred, the former Huaiyin Prefecture capital has changed from Huaiyin City to Quyang City. Of course, in addition to the population, it is also with Quyang City.
Located in the west of Huaiyin Prefecture, it is connected to Yuzhou, safe and easy to manage.
"Chai Xu, it's been more than a month. How many people are there inflows in Huaiyin City and the surrounding six counties?"
The governor of Huaiyin Prefecture, actually the prefect of Zhao army, Chai Xu, replied respectfully: "Report to the lord, since the beginning of accepting the people, Huaiyin City and the surrounding six counties have inflows of more than 230,000 people. In addition to the other counties, the entire Huaiyin Prefecture
In the territory, we absorbed more than 300,000 people from Xuzhou. Moreover, because of the wars in Guangling Prefecture some time ago, the number of people entering our territory is increasing."
"In order to resettle these people, we have paid a lot of money and food to prevent them from living in vain and having no food. Because the people of the counties in Huaiyin Prefecture were all under the rule of Xuzhou Army in the past, in order to prevent them from being in danger.
In case, my subordinates suggest that the soldiers of each county and Huaiyin Prefecture will be drawn by Yuzhou Prefecture."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "We do not think that there is too much population to continue to accept the entry of the people. As for money and food, we can also afford it. If it is not possible, we can trade it with the Zhao army." This transaction is naturally direct transportation.
The only thing you need is the transaction on the surface, that is, the taxes collected by the Yanzhou Army and the prefectures were handed over to the Zhaojun Finance Department.
"As for the soldiers in the palace..." Zhao Xun pondered for a little while, and then said, "It's better to recruit new soldiers on the spot. No matter who he is or who he was for, those who were able to persevere after the training of our new recruit camp will be able to persevere.
They will be loyal to us. As for the officers, there will be selected among the young guards."
Even if he was worried about these soldiers, Zhao Xun was not worried about the young guards at all. There were loyal and brave men trained in brainwashing.
After resolving these local affairs, Zhao Xun turned to Sun Zhuang, who was in charge of Yanzhou military intelligence: "What's the situation with Murong Cheng and Tang Xian now?"
Sun Zhuang replied respectfully: "Five days ago, the Qi army broke through the interception of the Xuzhou army under Guangling Prefecture and withdrew to the southwest. Under the cover of the Yangzhou navy, it retreated across the Huai River and entered the Jiujiang Prefecture of Yangzhou. Now, Murong Cheng has
The headquarters was placed in Shouchun, the capital of Jiujiang Prefecture. Shouchun is also the capital of Yangzhou. Here, Murong Cheng has restored more than 200,000 Qi troops."
"However, Li Chi's current development is also extremely powerful. At least, among the inland waters, the Xuzhou army and the Qi army are no longer weaker than the Qi army. Because of this, Murong Cheng retreated to the western part of Yangzhou and did not fight back immediately, but began to
Reorganized the internal situation and began to order Yangzhou to defend all sides, and strictly ordered the naval fleet to start harassing the coast of Xuzhou."
After a pause, Sun Zhuang said again: "However, the strength of the Yangzhou Navy was also weakened a lot because one-third of it was pulled away by the Zhao army. The situation in Yangzhou is that the Xuzhou army occupied the eastern part of Yangzhou.
The four prefectures of Xin'an, Sui'an, Yuhang and Kuaiji are surrounded by Qi's army in the south, west and eastern waters. Fortunately, the Qi army has not yet come back to its senses, so the two sides are in a stalemate here."
"From the news we have received, Murong Cheng has begun to send people to move in the territory occupied by the Northern Qi army, intending to create trouble and make another stir above the local area so that the Qi army can take advantage of the situation to counterattack."
"The Tang army also occupied the land of Jingbei eight days ago and had begun to attack Jingnan. However, because of Murong Cheng's timely retreat, Jingzhou quickly stabilized the hearts of the people and boosted the morale of the Jingnan defenders.
Therefore, Tang Xian, who was eager to achieve success and had an unstable foundation, failed to take advantage of the situation to take over the land of Jingnan. Now, they use the Han River as the boundary and draw a river to govern.”
"Murrong Cheng's timely withdrawal also made the entire Qi land energetic. Not only in Yangzhou, but also on the battlefields of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Jiangzhou, the Qi army began to reverse the situation of collapse and gradually reversed.
The situation. After all, they are fighting within their own territory.”
Zhao Xun frowned and asked, "You said before that the Xuzhou army's current inland waters is not weaker than the Yangzhou navy. What's going on? When did the Xuzhou army have a navy?"
Sun Zhuang said in a deep voice: "The Xuzhou army did not have a powerful navy, but since the coalition of princes attacked the Qi army, Murong Cheng trapped in Xuzhou. The Xuzhou army went south to Yangzhou and attacked Qi. It is located in Xuzhou.
To the south, to the east of the Huai River to the north of Yangzhou, there are vast inland lakes, Hongze Lake and Baima Lake. There are a large number of water bandits. Shortly after Li Chi's action, the water bandits here surrendered to the Xuzhou army.
Chi collected water bandits, recruited water-good people from both sides of the Huai River, as well as the surrendered soldiers in Yangzhou and the captured warships, and formed a large number of naval troops."
"According to our speculation, the bandits in Hongze Lake and Baima Lake had already colluded with each other before Li Chi led his army south. These bandits saw that the King of Qi was trapped and the Xuzhou army was powerful, so they became bandits because they became bandits when they saw that the King of Qi was trapped and the army was powerful.
He surrendered Li Chi for the army."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun sighed secretly: "This Li Chi is acting very quickly. With these naval troops, he will not suffer too much when he fights Murong Cheng in Yangzhou."
Immediately, Zhao Xun let go of his feelings for Li Chi and said to Feng Ziming beside him: "By the way, Tang Xian contacted us recently and said that he had something to discuss. What have you talked to their messenger?"
Feng Ziming said in a deep voice: "Tang Xian sent people to exchange our food, supplies, weapons, armor and equipment, and allow his army to pass through.
The right to join forces with us to fight against Murong Cheng in the south, Situ Lei in the west, and the lord in the north."
"Oh?" Zhao Xun was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that Tang Xian now occupied the northern part of Jingzhou, which was better than that he was in Yanzhou and northern part of Xuzhou. After all, whether it was in northern part of Yanzhou or northern part of Xuzhou, his Tang army was
Occupy the territory of others. In other words, once there is a dispute in the future, both the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army will have sufficient excuses to take attacks on him, and even occupy a certain degree of great significance.
However, Tang Xian had a great advantage in the prefectures and counties in the northern part of Jingzhou. In addition to his former family sphere of influence and the old place of officialdom, he was also his own jurisdiction. It was his ability to splice his own abilities from Murong
Cheng seized it from his hands and was on the united front with the Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army.
Now, the enemies he needs to face are Murong Cheng and Situ Lei. Since this time, Murong Cheng is afraid that he will not threaten him too much. So what he needs to fight is mainly the attacks of the Yong army in the future.
Situ Lei, the leader of the Yong army, is already old and is about to fail. So, the Yong army, which is split or has declined in the future, will no longer be very threatening.
Zhao Xun sneered: "Alliance with me, fight against Murong Cheng, Situ Lei and me? I'm afraid he is not worried about these things! Situ Lei is still setting in the west, and even if his son inherits his position, the threat will not be too great.
At least, the first thing they have to consider is the pressure this king puts on them in the north."
"Murong Cheng, it's already good to be able to solve the current problem. It is estimated that after this time, Murong Cheng's strength will also fall to a low point. Murong Cheng's primary target and enemy is the Xuzhou Army in the north of Yangzhou."
"As for me, my king has no contact with the northern part of Jingzhou at all. How can he threaten him? If I want to threaten him, I have to destroy the Yong army first, or at least occupy it.
The land of Yongzhou. Therefore, these are all lies. What he needs is to fight Murong Cheng with our Yanzhou army. To put it bluntly, he actually hopes that we will put pressure on the Qi army so that he can occupy the entire Jingzhou area."
Chai Xu asked: "Then do we agree? Now the Tang army is divided into two parts, and we can completely swallow them up. By then, the Tang army in northern Yanzhou, the Tang army in northern Xuzhou and the Tang army in northern Jingzhou.
, it will all be ours. This will be extremely beneficial to our next actions."
Zhao Xun shook his head and said in a low voice: "No! What you said is indeed very reasonable. This is indeed a good time to seize the foundation of the Tang army. However, if we act like this, we will definitely give the Xuzhou army, Qi army and Situ Lei around us.
It has a great impact. Among them, Situ Lei is the most important thing. He does not want another strong strength to appear around him. If we occupy the territory of the Tang army, he will definitely regard us as the primary goal. After all, on the surface,
We were too close to Zhao Jun, so he could not be worried. With Situ Lei's mind, he would definitely rather kill the wrong one than let him go. At that time, we would be unfavorable. If they were asked to find out about Yanzhou Jun and
The actual situation between the Zhao army is unpredictable. Especially now when the Turks are still in the north, they are putting us under great pressure."
In fact, Zhao Xun also felt a little regretful. If there was not a Turkic man in the north, if half of the Zhao army's troops had been transferred to the north, Zhao Xun could have ordered a counterattack against the Tang army and dispatched the north and the south at the same time. But he could not
Adventure, the north is the powerful Turks, and the northernmost part of the northeast is the Hei Shui Mohe tribe, which is also a tribe that is extremely hostile to Zhao. Once the Zhao army has loopholes or faults in the north, Situ Lei will definitely give up Murong
As a result, he turned to attack himself.
Of course, Zhao Xun also has another purpose, which is also the purpose he has always implemented. That is, to first solve the foreign enemies, and then seize the world with the internal princes. If you want to do it now, Zhao Xun hopes to solve Liangzhou because the Western countries in the western part of Liangzhou are in the western region.
, it was Zhao Xun's target of eyeing him.
Of course, Zhao Xun did not want to have an overlord in the Central Plains when he resisted foreign enemies. Therefore, he wanted a Yanzhou army to act outside without attracting him, and could also grasp the movements of other princes at all times.
, seeking benefits. Zhao Xun did not want to wait for him to resolve the foreign enemy, and the Central Plains had been unified, nor did he want to divide the river with other princes in the future to rule. Therefore, the Yanzhou army appeared...
"So we have to agree. Alas... it's a pity, such a good opportunity!" Chai Xu sighed regretfully. Although he is not a soldier, Chai Xu also understood that it was really a good opportunity at this moment.
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, this is indeed an opportunity. But it doesn't matter. Let Tang Xian fight for us, first break the Murong Cheng in the south, and let this great prince and great force collapse the city step by step.
The forces are equally beneficial to us. After all, the major forces are difficult to deal with, and our Yanzhou army is also growing."
Feng Ziming continued: "It's best if you waste Situ Lei and let him die, the Yong army will be weaker than half. The Yong army without Situ Lei is also a small problem for us."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Although this opportunity is gone, it is not a big deal for us. After all, the Yanzhou army is still growing in various tribes, while the Qi army is shrinking in various tribes. And Murong Cheng is also in one step
Stepping towards the sunset. Okay, we promised Tang Xian that we must take over the jurisdiction of the Tang army first, and ensure that there are no accidents before we will allow them to pass and deliver the materials. I don’t want to wait until we take over the two prefectures in northern Xuzhou
During the local time, Xuzhou army also appeared there."
Feng Ziming nodded and promised: "Don't worry, lord, my subordinates understand! According to my subordinates' guess, Tang Xian would not sell one place to two. After all, he is adjacent to us, and Xuzhou is one east and one west.
.If we are not satisfied, even if he is allowed to evacuate smoothly this time, we can attack him at any time. Not to mention that Tang Xian still needs us to help him, his attack on southern Jingzhou was not going well."
…………
Shouchun, the capital of Yangzhou, is also the headquarters of Jiujiang Prefecture. At this moment, this place has become the headquarters of the Qi army. The former city of trade has now become a barracks. The soldiers coming and going, all kinds of officers, have different faces.
The generals and schoolmen appeared on the street from time to time, not to mention the patrol soldiers coming and going, they never stopped.
The Qi Palace is the most luxurious mansion in Yangzhou. No one can compare with the mansion, and no one dares to compare with it.
"Who can tell me what happened to the navy? Why was our navy pulled one-third by the Zhao army? Why didn't our navy stop it? Li Chengdao, please explain it to me? Why didn't you at that time?
Stop these bastards who surrendered to the enemy?" Murong Cheng stared at the naval commander Li Chengdao gloomy and asked coldly. If it weren't for his weak position at this moment, if it wasn't for his concern that killing Li Chengdao would lead to a significant reduction in the navy's combat power, if it wasn't for his sending it out by Li Chengdao
After the imperial edict, he had already killed Li Chengdao after he could come in time.
Li Chengdao is a strong man in his forties. He is tall and strong, with a bronze face. Because he has been operating at sea for a long time, his face looks darker. However, no one dares to underestimate this person, who knows about naval battles.
But no one can compare to the leader of the Qi army. At the same time, he has also followed Murong Cheng for more than ten years.
Murong Cheng trusted him very much, so he entrusted the entire Yangzhou Navy to him without sending anyone to control him. Li Chengdao did not disappoint Murong Cheng's trust. Since Murong Cheng was determined to develop the navy, the Yanzhou Navy was the most
At its peak, it was more than several times stronger than at the beginning. Of course, it was already sunset now, because one-third of it was pulled away by the Zhao army.
Li Chengdao said bitterly: "Report to the lord, it's not that his subordinates are unwilling to stop him, but that one-third of the navy soldiers are determined to surrender to the enemy. Moreover, the Zhao army's navy has wandered beside us.
, my subordinates dare not stop it. If one-third of them do not resist, how can the rest resist the Zhao army's navy?"
"In addition, the people of the Zhao army also said that if we stop them, they will lead the army to join the war and participate in the attack on us. At that time, lord, you are trapped in Xuzhou, and Yangzhou is subjected to a strong attack from the Xuzhou army, so we dare not take our backs anymore.
If you are attacked, you will provoke Zhao's army again."
"In addition, the people of the Zhao army also said that Qiongzhou Island is theirs now, and as they did not take any action against us. When all the princes in the world conquered us, their subordinates dared not attract great enemies for us anymore.
Ah. It’s not a problem for my subordinates to die in battle, I’m afraid it will make the entire Qi army worse.”
"Bastard! I let one-third of the naval soldiers go away and one-third of the naval warships. What a huge loss? Isn't this a case of not taking action against us? Not to mention that he robbed him and took it away
The land of Qiongzhou Island. With Qiongzhou Island and their current strength, who is their opponent on the entire sea? Although you have not opposed the Zhao army, now we have no strength to oppose them!"
Murong Cheng roared.
Zhang Tu repeatedly advised: "Lord, don't be upset. Although General Li did not stop us, we lost one-third of the naval power, General Li was helpless. The lord is no longer, we are all enemies on all sides.
If Zhao's army joins the war, it will inevitably pose a fatal threat to us. Although Zhao's army is separated from us, he can attack the eastern coast of Qi through sea routes, and even cooperate with the Yanzhou army."
"In addition, although we have lost one-third of the navy, we are still in hand. They can completely suppress and attack the eastern part of Xuzhou. If the Zhao navy joins the war, it will inevitably be extremely unfavorable to us."
Murong Cheng also knew that Li Chengdao's decision was also related to his insemination in Xuzhou. He immediately considered Li Chengdao's loyalty to him, so he no longer wanted to punish him, "Okay, that's all for this matter.
Li Chengdao, your Yangzhou Navy now has two main goals. One is to harass the eastern part of Xuzhou, and the other is to take the opportunity to sneak attack the Xuzhou army in eastern part of Yangzhou. At the same time, A Zhong supports and matches the eastern part of Yangzhou, but has not yet surrendered to the power of the Xuzhou army."
Gritting his teeth, Murong Cheng said hatefully: "As for Zhao Jun, I will ignore it. One-third of the troops have been pulled away, and these have become a foregone conclusion. Even if we want to appease Zhao Jun, Zhao Xun,
I did nothing, but took a big advantage for us in vain and caused me to lose a lot. It's so amazing! I, Murong Cheng, felt inferior!" At this time, he could only knock down his teeth and stomachs when dealing with the navy.
