Everyone showed a shocked look after hearing this, the Yijin Army used to guard the Wu-Yue border, and had fought with the Ning Guojun a lot, until Feng Yanting decided to defect to Wu-Yue Later, there were fewer conflicts, but I didn't expect to be defeated by the Hui'an Army!

Only one person still had a smile on his face, and he smiled and said, "Jie Shuai, it seems that your judgment of Hui Anjun is completely wrong!" ”

This person is Deng Xuanli, who killed Wang Meng and set a trap to ambush Qin Quan, except for Jia Wu in the Ning Army, he is the only one who dares to talk to Lu Weiyi like this.

Lu Weiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Ben Shuai did make a mistake this time. ”

Jia Wu frowned and said, "It seems that the Hui'an Army wants to give up Hui'an Mansion and transfer to Muzhou. ”

"No, if the Hui'an army is really transferred, it is impossible to still garrison troops in the west, not to mention that they have just defeated the Tang army in the south!" Deng Xuanli said unceremoniously.

The pro-soldier said: "General Deng is right, the Hui'an army did not transfer to Muzhou, but only sent a team of men and horses to attack. ”

Jia Wu said with a look of surprise: "You mean that the Hui'an army only sent part of its men and horses to defeat Muzhou City and break the Yijin army?" How is this possible, they already have few soldiers, if they don't raise the troops of the whole government, how can they take Muzhou City? How can you defeat the Yijin Army? ”

"It's true, according to the information from the east, they only sent two thousand five hundred people, and the person who commanded the army was called Yu Xun." The pro-soldier said the truth.

Hearing the words of the pro-soldiers, everyone was stunned, 2,500 people broke 50,000? Sounds incredible.

After a long time, Lu Weiyi said in a deep voice: "Who is Yu Xun? Does anyone know? ”

"Have you forgotten? The only person who let Meng Xiao suffer defeat at the beginning was named Yu Xun. Deng Xuanli squinted his eyes and said, the smile on his face disappeared.

"It turned out to be him." Lu Weiyi sighed secretly, why did all this kind of talent go to Lu Yuan? He had seen Lu Yuan a few times in Ningguo County before, and in his impression, Lu Yuan was just a proud person, in fact, he didn't have much real skills, and the reason why he was reused by Feng Yanting was just because he was a Jinshi, could it be that he had been hiding it all the time? But what was his purpose in doing so?

In any case, the current situation does not allow him not to believe it, the strength of Hui'an Mansion is much more terrifying than he imagined, and he must not be an enemy of them now, he said in a deep voice: "Who wants to send an envoy to Hui'an Mansion?" As long as he can form an alliance with Hui'an Mansion, Ben Shuai will reward him with 1,000 gold, promote him to the third level, and give him a mansion! ”

The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, several civil officials have asked for orders and are willing to send envoys, but Lu Weiyi did not speak.

At this moment, an official who was almost standing at the back came out and said: "Jie Shuai, Xia Guan and Lu Yuan are old friends, and I am willing to persuade Lu Yuan to form an alliance with us with his incorruptible tongue!" ”

Lu Weiyi glanced at the man, frowned, and said, "Are you?" ”

"Xiaguan Zheng Xing, currently serving as the secretary of the Chizhou Assassin Mansion to join the army." This person is Zheng Xing, who borrowed money from Lu Yuan at the beginning.

After Lu Yuan was transferred to She County, he was also transferred to a county in Xuanzhou as a county lieutenant, and later the Ningguo Hou Incident, although he escaped, but his official position was also lost, and there could be no future in the future.

Later, when he heard that Lu Weiyi led the Ning Guojun to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and conquer Chizhou, he rushed to the city, and with his qualifications as a staff member in Houfu, he was mixed into an official position.

He regretted it in his heart at the moment, he knew that Lu Yuan would be developed, and he really shouldn't have asked for the three taels of silver in the first place, which ruined this "pure" friendship.

Seeing that Lu Weiyi promised such a generous reward, he couldn't care about his face, and decided to go to Lu Yuan to admit his mistake and see if he could remember the friendship he had with in the Qinglou before and forgive himself.

"You said that you and Lu Yuan are old friends, maybe it proves it?" Lu Weiyi was a little moved, but the stakes were high, so he had to be careful so as not to spoil the big thing.

Wang Ziwen, the secretary in charge, said: "Jie Shuai, this person did have frequent contacts with Lu Yuan before, and it is not a lie. ”

Lu Weiyi nodded at this time and said, "Well, as long as you can do this, Ben Shuai will never break his promise." ”

"Thank you, Jie Shuai."

After the meeting, Lu Weiyi instructed one of his own soldiers: "Control Zheng Xing's family." ”

Since Zheng Xing had a good relationship with Lu Yuan, he had to prevent this person from defecting to Hui'an Mansion.

……

Clear source.

When the Hui'an army resisted the Tang army, the Qingyuan army was not idle, under Li Ziqian's strategy, the Qingyuan army used the strategy of luring the enemy to lure the Tang army to Hulukou, Quanzhou, where a huge ambush was conducted, and only a few Baisheng army and Yong'an army fled back to Qianzhou.

Then the Qing Yuan army fought hard and conquered Jianzhou and Tingzhou, and the territory was already bordering Qianzhou, Fuzhou and Xinzhou of the Tang State.

The Baisheng Army and the Yongan Army, which had fled back, joined up with the Zhaowu Army stationed in Qianzhou, plus the Anhua Army stationed in Xinzhou, and were confronting the Qingyuan Army, which was also the reason why the Anhua Army did not invade Hui'an Mansion again.

Liu's performance is now gaining momentum, the land has doubled, and he has more than 100,000 soldiers in the land of the four states, which is already a force that no force dares to underestimate.

The military plan of the Qingyuan Army has always been carried out according to Li Ziqian's plan, and now their plan is to hold on to the land they have laid, recuperate for a period of time, and then find the right opportunity to attack Fuzhou.

At this moment, the news that the Hui'an army had conquered Muzhou came from the north, and Liu Congxiao immediately convened the civil and military forces to discuss the strategy.

When the soldiers who stayed in force explained the battle situation, Zhao Kui was the first to speak: "Fuck, isn't Yu Xun in our army?" When did you go to Hui'an Mansion? ”

Xuan Fei saw that Liu's cheeks twitched, and he hurriedly explained: "He betrayed Qingyuan a few months ago. ”

Zhao Kui snorted coldly: "I knew that this kid was unreliable, but he was really unambiguous in fighting." ”

"Shut up!" Liu Congxiao glared at him, turned his gaze to Li Ziqian, and asked, "Military Division, now that Wu Yueguo has an opportunity, can we attack Fuzhou in advance?" ”

"King, the most important thing at this moment is to stabilize Jianzhou and Tingzhou, steadily improve their strength, and then find an opportunity to attack Wu Yue, which is the best policy." Li Ziqian admonished.

Liu Congxiao smiled and said: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, but this king is too anxious. ”

Chen Hongjin said: "King, even if it is not suitable for us to enter the army now, we can send envoys to Hui'an Mansion to promote relations with them, and when we can send troops in the future, we can make an appointment with them to attack Wuyue and divide the land at that time." ”

"What Brother Chen said is that we can also secretly fund Hui'an Mansion to prevent them from being destroyed by Wu Yueguo." Wang Baoshan echoed.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Leave it to ask questions.

"It's okay to send envoys, but it's not necessary to fund them, judging from the recent battles in Hui'an Mansion, they may become our fierce enemies in the future."

"Okay, just do what the military advisor says!" Liu Congxiao said: "Xuanfei, you know Lu Yuan, so you will be the messenger." ”

"Yes." Xuan Fei nodded helplessly, if he could, he didn't want to go to Hui'an Mansion now.

Xuanzhou.

After this period of purging, the army of the deputy privy envoy Xie Wen basically swept away the bandits in Xuanzhou, leaving 5,000 troops to guard Ningguo City, and then led 15,000 soldiers and horses to Hui'an Mansion.

Along the way, the military discipline was strict, and there was no offense with the people.

When there were still more than fifty miles away from Jixi City, the northern barrier of Hui'an Mansion, a fast horse came from Jinling Mansion and brought him a new order from the imperial court, and after reading the content of the edict, Xie Wen frowned.

"Minister, what's wrong?" One of Shewin's generals asked.

"The Hui'an Mansion has conquered Muzhou, and the imperial court has asked us not to march for the time being, and to stay at the border, waiting for the latest orders." Xie Wen said in a deep voice.

"This order is too strange, if you don't fight, you will withdraw the army, why do you want to garrison troops at the border?"

Xie Wen said coldly: "You and I are soldiers, just follow the order, what are so many problems, pass the order, the army will turn and return to Xuanzhou!" ”

"Yes!"

When Xie Wen's army returned to Xuanzhou, he sent an envoy from Jinling Mansion to Hui'an Mansion, and the envoy was none other than Xu Shilian, the champion of the new branch, whose task was to persuade Hui'an Mansion to return to Tang again.

The reason why Li Jing wanted to recruit Anhui Anfu was because of the fiasco of the Baisheng Army and the Yongan Army, and now the Qingyuan army is powerful and has become a confidant of the Tang State.

Even if you can't recruit An, you can stabilize Hui'an Mansion first, and then clean up after solving the Qingyuan.

At the same time, the North.

Because of Lu Yuan's Heavenly Prison Incident, history has quietly changed, and the Tang State rejected the Khitan's proposal to jointly attack the Zhou State, so the Khitan did not send troops.

In the original history, Liao Shizong Yelu Ruan was killed in this expedition by the rebellion of his subordinate Yelu Chacha.

Yelu Ruan was a monarch who respected Han culture very much, he advocated the division of the north and the south, and decided to continue to consolidate the rule of the sixteen states of Yanyun in preparation for the unification of the Han people in the south.

Although the sixteen states of Yanyun are very small compared to the vast territory of Liao, they account for a large proportion of the population, and the sixteen states of Yanyun account for more than one million of the total population of more than three million.

Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun in 936 AD, and most of the Han people in the sixteen states had not yet returned to Hu, always looking forward to the arrival of the Central Plains king.

And Liao Shizong's policy of dividing the north and south has begun to affect the Han people in the sixteen states, especially the new king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelu Wuzhi, began to treat the Han people well, and the resistance of the Han people in the sixteen states to the Liao State began to slowly decrease.

The first to realize this was Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, if the Khitans were allowed to stabilize the sixteen states of Yanyun, there would be endless troubles in the future.

Therefore, he decided to take advantage of the chaos in the south and capture the sixteen states of Yanyun to serve as a northern barrier.

Although many of his officials were opposed, and even his own son Guo Rong did not approve of this dispatch of troops, Guo Wei was very resolute and gave a mobilization order to the whole country.

A national war of the level of Zhou and Liao took a long time to prepare, and the troops of both sides were in the hundreds of thousands at that time, and the mobilization of the war soon affected all parts of the Zhou state.

The first to be affected were the various Jiedu armies bordering the Khitan, which strengthened their training, released sentry horses, and sent additional soldiers at each pass.

A big war is coming.
