At the end of August, under the persuasion of Ye Shouxiong, Zhang Yu, the deputy commander of Wu Yue's domestic government, led 20,000 forbidden troops to surrender to Hui'anfu.

Since then, Hangzhou has been completely included in Lu Yuan's hands.

In the study room of Wende Palace, the high-level officials of Hui'an Mansion gathered together.

Officials at all levels have been busy for a while. Settled in the government and was familiar with the government affairs of Hangzhou, and it was only now that the internal affairs of Hangzhou were stabilized.

This is also the first time that Lu Yuan held a meeting after coming to Hangzhou, and the topics discussed, in addition to rewarding Zhang Yu and Ye Shouxiong, there were also Tang envoys.

"Master Hou, since Tang Guo has named you king, let's just accept it." Qin Li was the first to speak, he felt that this was a good thing to pick up for nothing, and there was no reason not to.

Yuan Chi said loudly: "Lord Hou is now sitting in Sanzhou, if you want to be the king, you can be the king, why do you need others to reward you, in my opinion, don't say the king, you can be the emperor." ”

"I agree." Ma Kongming echoed loudly.

Zhan Yuan was about to speak, when he suddenly saw that Zhang Dezhong seemed to be about to speak, and hurriedly swallowed the words back.

Zhang Dezhong twisted his beard and said: "Master Hou, the old man thinks that we might as well wait a little longer." ”

Zhang Wande's face was puzzled. "Wait? What's there to wait for? ”

"What Zhang Shaoyin means, it should be waiting for news from Zhou Guo, right?" Qin Youyu said softly.

Zhang Dezhong bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

Lan Liuyi, who participated in the assembly for the first time, pondered, listening to what they meant, could it be that there will be a reward on the side of Zhou Guo?

However, she didn't think about what Zhou would be rewarded, but felt that Lu Yuan had deliberately set up a Spiegel Academy to let herself lead it, so she should do a good job of reporting it.

If Zhou Guo had a move, she should be the first to know, and in an instant, she made a decision - after returning to the Spiegel Academy, she would send someone to Zhou Guo to establish a Qi Ng newspaper network.

Everyone trusted Zhang Dezhong's judgment, and when they heard that Zhou Guo had a reward, they were a little excited.

After all, the Zhou State was the orthodox regime in the Central Plains, and the influence brought by their rewards was far from comparable to that of the Tang State.

Lu Yuan looked around, and seeing that everyone had no opinions, he said: "Then this matter is according to what Zhang Shaoyin said, wait a minute." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Next, let's discuss the next topic, now that Hangzhou is basically stable, I want to hear your opinions on the continued use of troops against Wu Yueguo, I don't know what you think, is it to use troops to the north or south?" ”

There are three states bordering Hangzhou, namely Huzhou and Xiuzhou in the north and Yuezhou in the south.

Of course, it is also possible to send troops from Muzhou to attack Quzhou, but it is too far.

"I heard that Suzhou in the north is the third largest metropolis in Wuyue Kingdom, and if we can defeat it, it will definitely greatly enhance our strength." Ms. Sun said she was used to thinking from a businessman's point of view.

"That's right, and there are 200,000 Wu Yue troops in the south, and only 100,000 in the north, so it's better to attack the north." Qin Li echoed.

"But hasn't Qian Hongyu already led the forbidden army south? The Tang Kingdom of the Three Prefectures in the north is likely to attack as well, and if we go to fight, we may clash with them. Yuan Chi frowned.

Zhan Yuenlang said: "If there is a conflict, there will be a conflict, what is there to be afraid of!" It's not like we haven't fought with Tang Jun! ”

"The Wu and Yue armies in the south are all gathered in Chuzhou, Wenzhou and Quzhou, and Yuezhou only has 20,000 defenders, so I think it is better to attack Yuezhou in the south." Zhang Shouliang said thoughtfully.

Meng Xiao put his hands on his knees and said in a deep voice: "Although the naval strength of the northern town is weak, the Zhongwu army in Suzhou is extremely strong, if the two armies form an alliance, it will be very troublesome to attack, I agree to send troops to the south." ”

Zhan Yuan, who was about to refute Zhang Shouliang, immediately stopped talking.

Militarily, he dared to refute Yuan Chi and Zhang Shouliang, but he never dared to refute several commanders except Hou Kaishan, after all, their military exploits were all there.

Ye Shouxiong and Zhang Yu glanced at each other, and nodded secretly, the combat power of the Zhongwu army is second only to the forbidden army, and the festival degree enables Song Xuan to fight well, if he goes to attack, it will definitely be time-consuming and laborious.

Originally, Ye Shouxiong was about to remind him, but when he heard Meng Xiao's speech, he realized that the commanders of the Hui'an Army really lived up to their reputations.

Seeing that the other generals did not object, Lu Yuan bowed his head and said: "Then it is decided, first attack Yuezhou in the south, do you have a good plan to send troops?" ”

"Marshal, the old man thinks that we don't have to rush to use troops, we can wait a little longer." Zhang Dezhong spoke.

"Wait?" Zhang Wande stared.

Ye Shouxiong also shook his head secretly, the civil officials were cowardly, and it was really the same everywhere.

Lu Yuan opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Shaoyin must have his reason for saying this, we might as well listen to it first." ”

Zhang Dezhong glanced around, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he smiled and said:

"Now that Wu Yueguo is confronting the Qingyuan army in the south, if we send troops now, Qian Hongyu is likely to send troops over to reinforce them, it is better to wait for them to fight on both sides, and it will not be too late for us to send troops."

Ye Shouxiong scratched his head, feeling that what the old man said made some sense.

Qin Youyu raised his eyebrows: "Qingyuan military master Li Ziqian is good at strategy, he may also wait for our side to send troops, if he keeps waiting like this, I am afraid that when Wu Yueguo recovers, no one will be able to take advantage." ”

Ye Shouxiong nodded secretly, no wonder this girl can also come to the meeting, she is really knowledgeable.

He has also heard of the name of Qingyuan Li Ziqian, that guy must also be waiting for the use of troops here, and if he continues to regain his vitality in Wu Yueguo, he will miss the opportunity.

Su Qingzhe smiled slightly and said, "I don't think there is any need to worry, Qingyuan won't have such a good Naxi NG over there, and it is likely that he doesn't trust Li Ziqian so much." ”

"How?" Qin Youyu's eyes lit up.

"It's very simple, if I were Li Ziqian, I wouldn't have taken the liberty of using troops against Wu Yueguo at the beginning, but would wait for Hui'an Mansion to send troops first. But as a result, Qingyuan still made a move and attracted Qian Hongyu's 50,000 forbidden army, which shows that Li Ziqian has lost his trust in staying in the office. In this case, even if Li Ziqian dissuades him, he will still send troops to Wu Yueguo. ”

"Yes, the Su Yuan made the consideration meticulous, and the old man admired it!" Zhang Dezhong stroked his hands and praised.

Ye Shouxiong was stunned when he heard this, he always felt that his mind was not bad, but when he heard these people discuss, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Lu Yuan looked at Qin Youyu, saw her smiling and nodded, and said loudly in his heart: "Then according to what Zhang Shaoyin said, the matter of sending troops will also wait!" ”

……

Zhou State, Cangzhou.

A troop of 10,000 men of the Henghai Navy walked among the fields, and at this time it was autumn and everything was withering, but this army was in high spirits and was not affected by the seasons in the slightest.

The reason is simple, not long ago, they fought another big victory.

The commander of the unit is called Fan Yun, who is the commander of the Henghai Navy.

This time, the Zhou State attacked the sixteen states of Yanyun, which lasted more than half a year, and since the Yiwu army first engaged the Khitans in Yingzhou, the battle gradually began.

Emperor Guo Weiqin of Zhou led 200,000 forbidden troops, plus the Yiwu Army, the Henghai Navy, the Tianxiong Army, the Zhaoyi Army, the Weide Army and the An** Six Major Jie Du Army, a total of 500,000 troops participated in the battle.

On the Khitan side, 100,000 cavalry led by Yelu Wuzhen, the king of the Southern Courtyard, plus 300,000 cavalry led by Yeluwa, the king of the Northern Courtyard, as reinforcements, and 50,000 people from the Northern Han Dynasty participated in the battle, a total of 450,000 troops, and the Zhou State was engaged in a full-scale campaign.

Because most of the people of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were focused on the Central Plains, in the early days of the war, the Zhou State was dominant, especially when attacking the city, the people often made trouble for the Khitans in the city.

However, the Khitan reinforcements arrived first and arrived on the battlefield first, and although the Yiwu army fought bravely, they still suffered heavy losses and retreated all the way to Yingzhou.

Then the two sides formed a tug-of-war in Yingzhou, Yizhou and Cangzhou, and as the two sides continued to invest troops, the battle in these three states became more and more tragic, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood.

The Heng Navy has always fought in Cangzhou and Jizhou, and their strategic goal is to attack the Shuiding River in Jizhou, threatening the main Khitan force from the side and providing assistance to the main force of the forbidden army in Yingzhou.

On the Khitan side, 10,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry were stationed in Jizhou to defend, and the Henghai Jie Du made Wu Ze divide his troops into five and march in unison.

After a long time of tug-of-war, except for Fan Yun's troops, who could often win battles, the other troops were not going well, and even the most elite troops led by Jiedu Envoy Wu Ze were more defeated and less victorious.

This makes Fan Yun's team often fall into a lonely situation, but even so, they can save the day every time, all thanks to Fan Yun's staff named Wang Zhen.

During this period of time, Fan Yun won four big victories, two small victories, and one annihilation of the opponent's 3,000 people, so great feats, Fan Yun believed that after the war, he might have the opportunity to hold the festival.

The whole army was moving forward, and Wang Zhen behind Fan Yun suddenly spoke: "General, it's time for us to stop and wait for the other armies." ”

Fan Yun obeyed him, and said, "It's okay, then find a suitable place and set up camp." ”

Just then, a voice came from behind him.

"Report!"

A herald came on a flying horse, marched in front of Fan Yun, and said loudly: "General, Wujie Shuai has an order, ordering you to immediately lead the army back and camp in Cangzhou Jingcheng!" ”
