Although Luoyang, Zhao Xun and others live in Luoyang, they have always been paying attention to the situation in Hanzhong and eastern Yangzhou. Please visit the latest free chapter of this book... Whether it is Hanzhong or eastern Yangzhou, it is all about Zhao Jun's military
The overall situation of the arrangement is related to Zhao Jun's overall plan. Therefore, regarding the situation in the two places, Zhao Xun and others are waiting for information from the secret guard system every day so that they can make corresponding arrangements.
"The situation in Xuzhou has stabilized. In more than two months, the consequences of the natural disaster have been completely resolved, and there are no internal problems in Xuzhou. In addition, after Xuzhou made the move to move the army south, the Qi army in the north of Yangzhou did not continue to go south to participate in the siege
The actions of the rebels
, the biggest pressure on the Jieyi Army has been eliminated. As for the rest, it is up to the Jieyi Army to solve it by itself. Before the threat of the Qi Army and Navy is eliminated, we cannot directly establish contact with the Jieyi Army." Liu Wenqi said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun reported the Xuzhou intelligence that he had compiled.
Zhao Xun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "As long as the main force of the Qi Army can be contained, especially the Qi Army's border troops in the north of Yangzhou, the Jieyi Army will not be in great danger in the short term. As for contacting it, then
We need to deal with the Qi Army and Navy first. Think about it, it won’t be long before the Qi Army and Navy will become a highlight of our Zhao Army’s naval exploits.”
For the Jieyi Army, they are now unable to provide greater help. In addition to opening up the connection between the two sides, they can only rely on the Jieyi Army's own capabilities. However, judging from the current development trend and strength of the Jieyi Army, Qi Jun wants to
It is no easy task to completely eliminate them.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice: "Then what is the King of Luoyang doing now? Isn't he approaching the southeast? This Jiangxia Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou and has been occupied by the Qi army for a long time. Now it is his Luoyang
It’s time for the military to expand its strength and influence.”
Situ Liang on the side smiled and said: "The King of Luoyang wants to take action, but it seems that he is still doubtful about his own strength, so he does not dare to take action easily."
Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "Did the King of Luoyang lose the fighting spirit in his heart after his defeat in the past?"
Situ Liang smiled and said: "The Qi army is strong. Although many of the Qi army are now deployed to Jiangzhou to encircle and suppress the rebels, there are large armies stationed in the west of Jiangzhou and the west of Yangzhou. The overall strength of the King of Luoyang is worse than that of the Qi army.
It's so far away that he has scruples in his heart
, it is inevitable. After all, he does not believe us. He is worried that the Jieyi Army and the Jiaozhou Our Army will stop their expansion when he attacks Jiangxia Mansion and allow the Qi Army to fight him. At the same time, he is also worried that
We will attack Jingzhou."
Zhao Xun sneered: "What time has it been now? He still has deep worries. The more this happens, the easier it is for opportunities to be lost. Many times, it is because of too many worries and too much thinking that countless opportunities pass by.
However, the more he thinks about it, even though he can't stand out, it is good to have a stable place. Unfortunately, his position is not just stable. Forget it, since he has too many worries, there is no need to pay attention to it. By the way, Hanzhong is there.
Any news?"
Liu Wenqi said in a deep voice: "There is news. The latest news from the Shadow Guard is that our army has occupied the northern, central and central and western areas of Hanzhong. Xicheng County has been occupied and stabilized by our army. The King of Hanzhong once sent an envoy to ask for
He asked Deputy Privy Envoy Yang to return it to Xicheng County, but Mr. Yang refused. In addition, according to Yizhou intelligence, King Situ Che of Shu sent another 30,000 reinforcements north to support the Hanzhong battlefield."
Zhao Xun said coldly: "This King of Hanzhong is really evil and wants to take things from us. He doesn't even think about what the Han army has become now. He still has the energy to interfere with Hanzhong. Could it be that
Isn’t he worried that he will lose too much strength and let Jingzhou become Situ Hao’s world?”
Liu Wenqi smiled and said: "Master Yang had already pointed out this point when the King of Hanzhong sent the envoy. I think it was because of this that the King of Hanzhong, Situ Fei, did not continue to entangle the issue of Xicheng County. At this moment, the King of Hanzhong should have done something
We are ready to return to Jingzhou. The loss of Hanzhong has become a foregone conclusion. As long as Situ Fei is not stupid, he should understand that his current base is Jingzhou, not the lost Hanzhong."
"In addition, if our predictions are correct, the King of Hanzhong will send someone to come here soon to discuss with us the continued trade of weapons and armor. Especially after he notices the current situation of the Luo Army, the King of Hanzhong will definitely not be willing to accept it.
."
"Trade weapons and armor equipment?" Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said: "Trading is possible. We have seized a lot of materials in the constant battles. It is not bad to sell these things that we have no use for, as long as they are not suitable for use.
If we pose a strong threat, then we sell to them. This can also create hostility among themselves. It can even give them the courage to take action against other princes. However, if we trade again, we must have money to buy and sell, not in vain.
deliver."
Situ Liang nodded and said: "Indeed, in the past, we gave away armor and equipment to the Han army for free because we needed them to fight to the death with the Shu army and consume each other's strength. But now, we don't need it anymore. We need them to use it.
To buy with money, in order to expand their own strength, the King of Hanzhong and the King of Luoyang will intensify their exploitation of the people of Jingzhou. This will also be conducive to our future attack and takeover of Jingzhou."
…………
After Tian Yu returned from his mission to Xicheng County and informed Situ Fei, the king of Hanzhong, about what Yang Wangqing said casually, Situ Fei no longer rushed to capture Xicheng County, nor did he seek to capture Hanzhong, but immediately sent people to explore Jingzhou
Condition.
Originally, Situ Fei was as powerful as Situ Fei in Jingzhou. Even if he did not dominate the sovereignty of Jingzhou, he still had half of the territory and power in Jingzhou. In Jingzhou, Situ Fei had 30,000 soldiers left. In addition to assisting the King of Luoyang in defending Jingzhou, he also
It was also to prevent myself from being in Jingzhou.
His rights were completely lost. He knew very well that although the civil servants in the counties in western Jingzhou were his, without military power, it would be almost impossible to keep these powers. In troubled times, if you have soldiers, you will be the Caotou King.
Soldiers and horses, no matter how powerful they are, what's the use?
When Situ Fei led his army to Hanzhong to resist the Shu army, the connection between Situ Fei and Jingzhou was still very close. In addition, the officials under the rule of the Han army in Jingzhou would report the situation in Jingzhou to him every few days.
.However, with the battle between the Han army and the Shu army,
It became more and more fierce. As the Han army was retreating steadily, Situ Fei could not care about the situation in Jingzhou. Even his secret guard system in Jingzhou, he would not pay attention to the intelligence in many cases. After all, these secret guards
The information reported by the system is mostly uncertain information.
However, when Tian Yu returned from Xicheng County and brought back the news that the Luo army had tens of thousands of troops and more than 80,000 elite soldiers, Situ Fei was immediately shocked. The 80,000 soldiers, plus the local garrison and
Other soldiers and horses, Luo Jun appeared
Already there were nearly 150,000 troops. At this moment, the total number of troops in Situ Fei's hands was less than 80,000, and the elite soldiers were less than 50,000. In the battle with the Shu army, the Han army was defeated
More than 50,000 soldiers were lost.
The shocked Situ Fei couldn't believe it, and immediately summoned the officials in charge of intelligence matters. After questioning, they confirmed the truth of what Tian Yu said. In addition, the situation was even more serious, because among the 80,000 soldiers among Luo's soldiers,
They are all equipped with armor and equipment purchased from Zhao Jun.
Most of these armors and equipment originally belonged to him and the King of Luoyang. However, as they lost the land of Yongzhou in the north and suffered losses in the past few years, the soldiers rarely replaced their armor and equipment in time, even some standard weapons.
Of course, this does not mean that the Luo army and the Han army are too poor to deploy, but that they do not have enough craftsmen to build what they have in time.
Needed materials. You must know that in the past, the Zhao army promoted the status of craftsmen. More than 60% of the world's craftsmen made a living in Zhao, and many of them were registered with the government. It was Situ Fei and the King of Luoyang who discovered their own weapons and equipment.
It was difficult to build it in time and when they needed to buy it from Zhao Jun, they suddenly discovered that Zhao Jun's seemingly inconspicuous system had now had such a big impact.
After learning this information, Situ Fei was naturally furious and almost executed the confidant officer who was responsible for the intelligence. However, the excuse of the confidant officer left Situ Fei speechless. It is not that the confidant officer did not tell him
Situ Fei paid no attention to his report, but multiple reports. Moreover, during the deadly battle with the Shu army, he directly asked him not to report other news unless it was a matter of life and death, so as not to affect the war between Shu and Han.
In order to understand the current situation in Jingzhou, after Tian Yu returned, Situ Fei immediately ordered people to return to Jingzhou to re-explore the most detailed situation in Jingzhou to make a judgement.
Seven days passed, and the cronies sent to investigate handed over the information to Situ Fei. Situ Fei had his own troops in Jingzhou and his own secret guard system, so there was no problem in detecting the information. The reason why he sent people to investigate in person
, also to see with one’s own eyes the current situation in Jingzhou and to contact the secret agents deployed in Jingzhou.
Seeing the situation of the investigation, Situ Fei immediately turned pale. Soon after, Situ Fei summoned a few important ministers under his command to discuss important military matters.
"The king has summoned you today to discuss the next path for our Han army. You also know that we lost the battle with the Shu army! Of course, the Shu army cannot be considered a winner, they will only lose more than
We are even worse off." Situ Fei said gloomily, "Now our passage back to Hanzhong to the west is occupied by the Zhao army. It is basically impossible to get it back from them."
"I originally planned to continue negotiating with Zhao Jun. No matter what, I wanted to obtain certain benefits in the land of Hanzhong in the next time. After all, this land of Hanzhong is also the jurisdiction of my king, Hanzhong. But!
"Situ Fei changed his tone and said coldly.
He said, "I have been paying attention to the land of Hanzhong, but I have neglected Jingzhou. Since we occupied Jingzhou, Jingzhou has always been our foundation. Although Hanzhong is nominally important to us, in terms of interests, Jingzhou is
It’s the top priority.”
"This is the information that has just been sent back. How do you think I should respond now!" Situ Fei coldly handed the information in his hands to his subordinates and let them watch it individually.
Although Tian Yu and others did not know the content of the intelligence, they knew from the king's ugly face that the situation in Jingzhou must be very bad.
Sure enough, the above content made Wang Hewen, Tian Yu, and Wei Ping frown. In the land of Jingzhou, the Luo Army, which used to have less than 50,000 soldiers, has now expanded to more than 100,000 soldiers. The number of soldiers alone is enough.
More than 80,000 people. More importantly, in the land of Jingzhou, almost all the people and local powerful families are dominated by the King of Luoyang, thinking that the King of Luoyang is the lord of Jingzhou. Although the King of Luoyang never
He never actively acknowledged or vetoed the status of the King of Hanzhong in Jingzhou. However, he did not speak for the King of Hanzhong, and he often visited the prefectures and counties in Jingzhou, which were originally under the jurisdiction of the Han army and were also the places he patrolled.
.As a result, the reputation of the King of Luoyang in Jingzhou greatly increased, and the King of Hanzhong fought in Hanzhong for a long time and was defeated by the Shu army, making Situ Fei's reputation far less than that of the King of Luoyang.
These are not the most serious. The most serious thing is that because of the failure of the Han army in the battle with the Shu army, some Han soldiers in Jingzhou began to flee the Han army and join the Luo army's recruitment.
, became a member of the Luo army, and the King of Luoyang never paid attention to this matter.
Make any instructions. However, not giving instructions is another kind of instruction. It is naturally impossible to say that the King of Luoyang does not know these things. But the King of Luoyang ignored it, so he naturally allowed the Han army to transfer to his command.
In other words, he already had the intention to annex the Han army.
The chief commander of the march, Ma Tianyu, did not want to be hostile to the Zhao army. When he saw this situation, he said urgently: "Your Majesty, the situation in Jingzhou is very critical. The King of Luoyang has already planned to station troops for us. We have to counterattack immediately.
"
Situ Fei said coldly: "That's why I called you to discuss this matter. How to do it can maximize our interests and allow us to take better action. There are also the prefect of this mansion and seven counties.
I ordered them to pay the price for their betrayal." What Situ Fei said was the seven or eight local civil servants of the Han army who secretly colluded with the King of Luoyang.
Wang Hewen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we don't know why Xicheng County has not reached an agreement with Zhao Jun. Since the situation in Jingzhou is not good, why don't we stop asking for Xicheng County, but we need Zhao Jun to provide us with a batch of armor and equipment as a
Compensation, after all, this was once our jurisdiction. In addition, we have to continue trading with them. In addition to weapons and equipment, we also need war horses."
Tian Yu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Wang said is true. Now that most of Hanzhong has been lost, and with the Zhao army dispatched, we can no longer gain any benefits. After all, we are on the weakest side.
In this case, why not
Let the Zhao army and the Shu army fight each other here, and we will gain some actual benefits, and then return to Jingzhou, regain the Wuling Mansion in the southeast, and revive the king's reputation. This land of Jingzhou is not only the king of Luoyang, but also the king.
You are also the Lord of Jingzhou."
You Cheng Weiping said solemnly: "Why don't we ask Zhao Jun for a batch of war horses and armor this time? We can return to Jingzhou under the banner of victory and alliance with Zhao Jun. The King of Luoyang was caught off guard.
, immediately return to the west of Jingzhou and reorganize the prefectures and counties in the west of Jingzhou. Local officials need to be reorganized, and the remaining troops also need to be reorganized."
"Therefore, I suggest that we can separate the prefectures and counties in the western part of Jingzhou that belong to us and put them under the jurisdiction of the royal palace. The prefectures and counties under our rule shall be subject to the king's military orders. Any conflict with the king's military orders shall prevail.
Those who do not match, none
It needs to be taken into account. Of course, on the surface, the leader of Jingzhou is still the King of Luoyang. However, after this battle, we can fully explain why our army suffered serious losses and needs to be reorganized, and reorganize the army and local officials under our rule.
."
"However, when the king returns to Jingzhou, he still cannot be hostile to the King of Luoyang, nor can he fall out with the King of Luoyang because of the situation in Jingzhou. The King of Luoyang now has a strong army, has developed ambitions, and has the heart to dominate Jingzhou alone. In other words, among the officials of the Luo Army,
During the war, many people have developed the desire to monopolize Jingzhou. Therefore, we cannot officially fall out with the Luo army until we are not strong enough."
"In addition, we suffered heavy losses in this battle with the Shu Army. Therefore, the responsibility for the defense of Jingzhou falls on the Luo Army. At this moment, the Luo Army also intends to advance eastward to Jiangxia occupied by the Qi Army. Therefore, we need
Let the Luo army be at odds with the Qi army so that we can regain our strength."
Situ Fei twitched the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Don't worry, I will not directly confront the Luo army, not now, nor in the future, unless the Luo army completely collapses. Otherwise, I can only take advantage of Zhao in the north.
Ask or the two bastards from the east and west. Tian Yu, you go to Xicheng City again and discuss with the other party that we give up Xicheng County in exchange for supplies. Wang Hewen, you immediately send people north to Luoyang to discuss trade with Zhao Jun officials.
