"Look, this is the result of this naval fleet operation. Our naval fleet went out in many ways, and among them, it was directly defeated in the hands of the Jieyi Army. Please use... to visit this site. Among the remaining routes
, most of them failed to succeed. According to the servants sent by this king, these rebels are not simple and have exceeded our expectations." Murong Cheng looked around at everyone and said coldly.
"The prefectures and counties in the eastern part of Yangzhou, in the eyes of the princes, are just a vulnerable rebel army composed of a group of refugees, but the current facts tell us that they are not as simple as you think. Among them, the northernmost rebel army
, their combat capability is no less than that of our soldiers. Therefore, I suspect that they are not just as simple as Zhao's support of grain, grass, supplies and armor and equipment, but Zhao's army even sent people to train soldiers for this rebellious army.
"
"Now that a lot of troops have been deployed to the north of Jiangzhou and the west of Yangzhou, do you think it is better for us to attack the north first or attack the rebels in the south first?" Murong Cheng looked at the map hanging beside him and said in a low voice.
Zhang Tu, Zuo Cheng of the State of Qi, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to attack the south and then the north first, attack the rebel army in the east of Jiangzhou first, and then attack the north. Now the rebel army has been divided into two parts, the north and the south, but
, the Jieyi army in the north is the strongest, and as the king said, they have the support of Zhao Jun, and even Zhao Jun’s people are involved.”
"So, if we take the northern rebel army first, it will not only affect the Zhao army in Xuzhou, but also cause a stalemate for a long time, which will give the southern rebel army time to develop. In other words, it will give the southern rebel army a chance to catch up with the Zhao army.
"
"The rebel army in the south is weak, but it affects the situation in the eastern part of Jiangzhou and the northern part of Jiaozhou. Especially in the northern part of Jiaozhou, the land of Jiaozhou is occupied by our Qi army, the Shu army and the Zhao army. If our Qi army occupies the northern part of Jiaozhou,
If these rebellious troops cause trouble here, it will directly affect the situation in Jiaozhou and must be resolved immediately."
"In addition, after we deal with the rebel army in the south first, the rebel army in the north will be completely surrounded by us on three sides. Even if Zhao Jun is involved in the rebel army, we can concentrate our strength and defeat them in one fell swoop."
Murong Cheng frowned and said: "This section of the rebel army is quite capable. They are on our side. If they are allowed to develop and grow, the consequences will be unpredictable. The longer they are given, the more stable they will stand here. Especially if they are in the local area
Although the various methods mentioned above are different from those of Zhao State, they are somewhat similar..."
What Murong Cheng was most worried about was the Zhao State's policies and systems to appease and bribe the people. It would be fine if it were during normal times. However, coincident with this natural disaster, Zhao State's systems and policies have become more and more popular in Yangzhou, Jiangsu, and Yangzhou.
The state is very marketable.
Zhang Tu also understood Murong Cheng's worries and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we will capture the rebel forces in the south first, and we will not leave the north alone. In addition to guarding the remaining troops, we must also tell the people in other areas that the rebels will burn, kill, and loot during this period.
, do no evil. The city occupied by the rebel army,
Women and children are restless, the old and the weak are gone, and all the gentry and large families are exterminated, so that their property can be enjoyed by the rebels and bandit leaders. They are rebels, so they naturally have the habits that a rebel army should have. As long as the people know, how can
Will you still respond to them? How can you still respond to them?"
"Okay!" Murong Cheng laughed and said, "What Zhang Qing said makes sense. This matter must be handled immediately. We must let the people under our army know that the rebels in the east are all bandits and bandits.
Taking advantage of natural disasters, they rob the government of money and food for disaster relief, making it difficult for the people in the eastern prefectures and counties to make a living, and making it impossible for the government to settle the refugees. In a word, we need to let the people everywhere know that the rebels in the east are not good things."
"Now, the Zhao army in Xuzhou in the north has added more than 20,000 people, which is putting great pressure on our northern front line in Yangzhou. Even though Xuzhou was also a disaster-stricken area before, the tens of thousands of troops they stationed still put a lot of pressure on our defense line.
It’s a very serious threat.”
You Cheng Zhong Yan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if Zhao Jun has added a new town of more than 20,000 troops here, this also shows that Zhao Jun is also worried about Xuzhou and they are also on guard.
We take action against Xuzhou. After all, Xuzhou also suffered
In the disaster area, the original 50,000 Zhao soldiers are now responsible for rescuing people and stabilizing the local area. It has to be said that Zhao soldiers are better than us in this aspect. However, this also makes the Zhao army in Xuzhou
The military strength is somewhat insufficient for border defense."
"That's why the Zhao army sent troops this time when Xuzhou suffered a disaster. Perhaps Zhao Xun knew about our original contact with the remnants of the Chu army in Xuzhou, and that's why he sent a large army from Yongzhou."
"It seems that Xuzhou has added a town of troops, but this also increases the needs of a town of troops in Xuzhou. You must know that Xuzhou is a disaster-stricken area, where can we supply the needs of more than 20,000 troops? Therefore, these 20,000 troops
The logistics of the rest of the army naturally need to be transported from the rear, which places an extraordinary burden on the Zhao army. Therefore, the Zhao army in Xuzhou can only exist to contain us, but will not really move the army south. So
, we don’t need to worry too much about Zhao Jun in Xuzhou.”
"However, we cannot be careless. We must still be more careful in the defense of various places along the Huaihe River. The Zhao army is accustomed to making surprise attacks. No one can guarantee whether the Zhao army in Xuzhou will abandon its place to recover and launch an army to raid the areas along the Huaihe River in Yangzhou."
Murong Cheng nodded and said solemnly: "Well, you are right. Give orders to all the northern places to be more careful and not to be careless. By the way, I want you to send people to Xuzhou to take the opportunity to stir up chaos in Xuzhou.
, can it be arranged properly?"
Zhong Yan said in a condensed voice: "Reporting to your Majesty, Zhao Jun is very strict in inspecting the land of Xuzhou, especially those powerful families, who are now under the surveillance of Zhao Jun. Moreover, they no longer have the power they used to have. Within the family
The private soldiers, the young tenant farmers, and even some ordinary servants and guardians have now been given civilian status by the government and assigned fields so that they can support their families and no longer serve these powerful families."
"In other words, these powerful families can no longer provide manpower for our use. At the very least, they cannot provide manpower to participate in the operation. Even if there are, there are only a few people, and they are simply unable to promote the uprising in Xuzhou. And
Those powerful families who benefited from the Chu army in the past and have lost their power now are even more afraid to take the lead. The last operation has allowed the Zhao army to capture a large number of local powerful people in Xuzhou, and the remaining ones are even more..."
"However, although we can't gather powerful families in these places to make things happen, we can still arrange for people to go in and have some impact. I think it can also make Zhao Jun in Xuzhou busy for a while."
Murong Cheng said coldly: "No matter what, the rebellion in the east of Yangzhou and Jiangzhou must be dealt with as soon as possible. Order He Lin to speed up his actions. Action must be taken against the rebellion in Yangzhou and Jiangzhou as soon as possible. In addition, in Xuzhou
We must also start our actions. Regardless of whether it can cause damage to Xuzhou, if it can have a negative impact on Xuzhou, it is the most beneficial thing for us."
Murong Cheng's original idea was to make Xuzhou the same as Yangzhou and eastern Jiangzhou under his own rule. Since riots occurred in the disaster-stricken areas under his own rule, why didn't the same thing happen under your Zhao Jun's rule?
Since you can arrange for people to come to my area to do things, why can't you send people to work under your rule?
It's a pity that Zhao Jun monitors the new land of Xuzhou very strictly. In addition, this is the place closest to Qi Jun. How could Zhao Xun easily relax his control here? Therefore, for the first time with Qi Jun,
The powerful and powerful families in the places who had collusion with each other were inspected by Zhao Jun's secret guards, and all of them were killed in one fell swoop.
Zhao State naturally dislikes these powerful families. However, this is no longer the time when Zhao Jun just rose to the northern border. Now Zhao Jun is already the northern overlord dominating half of the world. Naturally, it cannot control the local area.
The powerful families attacked without any reason. Especially since the Chu army surrendered in Xuzhou on its own initiative, Zhao Xun could not let the government directly attack the powerful families in those places. But this time the Qi army took the lead, which happened to solve this problem for Zhao Jun.
Those powerful families that Zhao Xun originally wanted to get rid of were involved in collusion with the Qi army. For such crimes of colluding with foreign enemies to rebel, the local government could confiscate their homes and exterminate their families. Therefore, the last time the Qi army secretly
During the activities of contacting the wealthy families in Xuzhou, the government followed the trend
, all the powerful families in Xuzhou who were dissatisfied with the Zhao army and the local government were wiped out, and the money and food from their families were used for local disaster relief, and their fields were taken out and distributed to the victims, making Zhao
The prestige of the state government and the imperial court in Xuzhou increased to a higher level.
Although the operation failed, Murong Cheng did not give up. After Zhao Xun transferred the ninth town of Yongzhou's army to Xuzhou, the threat from the Qi army in Yangzhou became more serious. He could not watch Xuzhou return to its old appearance and gather more troops.
The men and horses posed a threat to the land of Yangzhou. Therefore, Murong Cheng continued to arrange for men to enter Xuzhou, making preparations to stir up internal instability in Xuzhou.
Military Sima Xu Lin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the King of Luoyang in Jingzhou obtained a large number of weapons and armor from the Zhao army, and expanded his army by tens of thousands. His strength expanded very quickly. If it were just the expansion of the army, it would be nothing, but now it is equipped with
The proper armor
Tools, the strength of the Luo army is already very large in the central region. This not only makes our plan to attack Jingzhou a complete failure, but also the Luo army will pose a threat to our northern Jiangzhou and the Jiangxia Mansion in Jingzhou that we occupy.
"
"Especially Jiangxia Mansion, which was originally the land of Jiangzhou. Although it is now occupied by us, the King of Luoyang still intends to take it back from Feng. Of course, there is also Wuling Mansion south of the Yangtze River occupied by the Shu army. So
, I think we don’t
We should not only guard against the Zhao army in Xuzhou, but also the Luo army in Jingzhou. In addition, I am also worried whether the Luo army will join the Zhao army in taking action in Xuzhou and Jingzhou at the same time. In this case, our Qi army will
Received a pincer attack from the north and west."
Murong Cheng shook his head and said: "It's impossible. If the Luo army attacks us at the same time as the Zhao army, unless he, the King of Luoyang, doesn't want to keep his current position. Our Qi army is gone, will he still have the Luo army?"
Xu Lin said in a seductive voice: "It is naturally impossible for Luo Army and Zhao Army to unite, but there is no guarantee that Luo Army will not take advantage of our battle with Zhao Army to seize Jiangxia Prefecture or even Jiangzhou Prefecture. Now Shu Army and Han Army
Isn't that what they did? It's impossible to say that they didn't know the threat from the Zhao army in the north.
However, they are still fighting to the death in the land of Hanzhong. So far, both sides have lost no less than 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. If they use these strengths to fight against Zhao Jun, they don’t know how many soldiers Zhao Jun will need to consume.
Only then can we annihilate them. But now, we are dying in internal fighting."
"It's all damned Situ Che!" After hearing what Xu Lin said, Murong Cheng couldn't help but feel his heart sinking, and said angrily, "If Situ Che, a bastard, hadn't been the first to attack the allies, how could they be doing this now? The Southern Alliance
, what has become now? There is a big enemy in the north, but they don’t care about it and are still fighting for some benefits! Situ Lei’s sons are all a bunch of incompetent bastards."
"Now we can no longer take care of Jingzhou. If Luo Jun wants to go south, he must have the ability. Now that Luo Jun has begun to move its troops south, it may not mean that he has not cooperated with the Han army to attack Wuling Mansion. Otherwise, he will
I want to see if Situ Che will remain indifferent to this news."
"As for the Zhao army in Xuzhou, they will not go south in the short term. Moreover, we should be counterattacking them now. The most urgent task is to deal with the rebel forces in the south as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Murong
After calming down for a while, he made a decision immediately.
However, when it came to the Shu army and the Han army, Murong Chengcheng looked annoyed. Originally, he wanted to see the Han army and the Shu army fighting each other. However, the Han army and the Shu army are now fighting more and more fiercely.
The losses increased, but he still refused to let go, which made Murong Cheng feel that the situation was not good.
It stands to reason that the Shu army is much stronger than the Han army, and the Han army is naturally no match for the Shu army. However, the Zhao army was behind the Han army and provided armor and equipment for the Han army. At the beginning, they sold them at high prices. Later,
Just give it away for free
.In other words, it is now a battle between the Shu army and the Han army supported by the Zhao army. The Shu army and the Han army of the southern princes were damaged, and the Zhao army only paid what the Han army and the Luo army lost in the Yongzhou treasury in the past.
armor equipment and some food.
The Zhao army used the king of Hanzhong from the southern princes to fight against the king of Shu, while the Zhao army was developing areas in the rear, restoring local people's livelihood, and carrying out large-scale construction projects in various places. This made Murong Cheng feel worried about his advantage and annoyed.
In the Qi army's plan, the Han army and the Shu army fought, and the Han army was naturally defeated in the end. After all, it was far less powerful than the Shu army. Without the Han army, Jingzhou could naturally be taken by its own side.
But now, the Han army is still fighting against the Shu army, with no distinction between superior and inferior. But without the assistance of the Han army, Jingzhou cannot press the button.
As expected by the Qi army, the Luo army was indeed the weakest among the southern princes. However, the King of Luoyang also had ambitions, and with the Zhao army's armor and equipment, he also began a large-scale expansion. More importantly, since then,
The King of Luoyang, who lost East Yongzhou, also learned to treat the people well, making the Luo army's reputation in Jingzhou even better than before.
As for the Qi army at this moment, there was a rebellion in the rear, and the Zhao army was participating. To the north, in order to suppress the Qi army, the Zhao army also sent more troops to Xuzhou, so the Qi army had to station a large part of its troops along the Huaihe River.
The north is guarding Xuzhou and the west is guarding Yuzhou. It can be said that the Qi army is now under the greatest pressure from the Zhao army among the southern princes.
Luoyang is now the temporary power center of the Zhao army. Especially after launching a series of trade with the Han army and the Luo army and establishing a non-aggression covenant with the Luo army in Jingzhou, Luoyang has become increasingly prosperous. In addition to the businessmen from all over the Zhao state, Luoyang has become more and more prosperous.
In addition, merchants from Jingzhou in the south also began to appear here in large numbers to start trade with Zhao merchants.
Various projects are currently being constructed in Yongzhou, so many materials needed for the projects are transported by merchants. Even merchants in Jingzhou in the south have also transported a large amount of needed materials to Yongzhou, which has relieved Yongzhou's burden.
It’s quite a logistical pressure.
After all, Yongzhou now not only needs to undertake the logistics and transportation of materials required for various projects, but also needs Yongzhou's more than 100,000 troops, which is also a big consumption. Especially since roads are being built all over Yongzhou, transportation is extremely difficult.
It was inconvenient. The emergence of Jingzhou merchants relieved some of Yongzhou's needs. Of course, it also allowed Jingzhou merchants to gain considerable benefits.
The normal trade between the two sides is extremely beneficial to both the Luo army and the Zhao army in Yongzhou. However, in comparison, it will have a greater impact on Jingzhou.
Especially after some businessmen entered the territory of Zhao State and learned a lot about Zhao State, they discovered that the place they were in was far different from that of Zhao State. This allowed these businessmen to begin to have a deeper understanding of Zhao State's situation.
, and thus like Zhao’s policies and systems.
After these merchants returned, they would naturally tell others what they saw and heard in the north. In this way, more people would naturally understand the situation in the north, and more people would want to live in the Zhao Kingdom.
In this way, many landless people and some poor people in Jingzhou began to follow the merchants northward and entered Yongzhou, opened household registrations, received the land allocated by the government, and arranged for them to work on various construction sites in exchange for money.
Although he knew that this was not good for his own side, the Luo army needed money to expand its strength, so the King of Luoyang could only allow the merchants in the country to go north to Yongzhou to start trade with the Zhao army. After all, this was also extremely beneficial to his own side.
, and obtained a lot of benefits. And those people who went north were mostly poor people. Although most people heard about the Zhao system in the north, they also yearned for it. However, most people would not be happy to leave their homes and go north.
.
After all, it was not an easy task for the Li family to travel hundreds of miles away from home for these people who could live a stable life. It was precisely because the damage to Jingzhou was not great that the King of Luoyang did not let the soldiers stop those people from following the trade.
The team went north to Yongzhou and entered the territory of Zhao Kingdom.
