What happened in Hongzhou naturally could not be concealed from the internal guard's spies in Jiangxi.

In Hongzhou overnight, the blood flowed like a river, killing people's heads, and even Xiang Jun, the commander of the Lingnan Army, was killed, and when such a thrilling news reached Yichun, Ren Xiaonian and the generals of the Tang Army were stunned.

What did Xiang Jun come all the way to Jiangxi for? Isn't it just to help Jiangxi resist the invasion of the Tang army? Why is it that now the people of Jiangxi have even cut off Xiang Jun's brain.

"The generals of the Lingnan army were beheaded, and they did not clash with the Jiangxi army?" Ren Xiaonian stared at the internal guard spy and said.

The spy shook his head: "The entire Hongzhou City is under martial law, and the Lingnan army camp outside the city is also heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach it at all. The roads into Hongzhou were blocked, and this information was sent out with a lot of effort, and it took several rounds to send it, and I was not an eyewitness, so I didn't know the specific situation. ”

In this way, the Lingnan army can still maintain peace after the death of the commander. Otherwise, if the two armies do it, no matter how much they blockade it, they will not be able to hide the news. Ren Xiaonian walked around the house a few times, puzzled: "What is this for?" Could it be that Qian Shouyi has such great ability that even the Lingnan Army can control it? It's impossible! ”

Ren Xiaonian muttered to himself, but in this room, no one could help him with ideas, whether it was Liu Yuan or Qin Kuan, they were all good at fighting, but guessing this kind of thing was not good.

"Gather all the generals, everyone brainstorm, and see if you can guess something!" Ren Xiaonian said: "On the side of the internal guard, work harder to see if you can find out more news." ”

"Understood, I'll go!" The spy bowed, turned and hurried away.

A group of people who lead troops to fight a war will naturally not be able to draw any effective conclusions under the condition of limited resources and limited intelligence. In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Ren Xiaonian.

After pondering for a moment, Ren Xiaonian said: "It seems that Qian Shouyi should have taken the opportunity of Qian Wenzhong to go to Guangzhou to launch a coup d'état and take the opportunity to get power." As for Xiang Jun being killed, and the Lingnan Army did not have any reaction, it is very likely that the Lingnan Army came alone, in this place, there is no backup, no logistics, so you can only endure and wait for the opportunity. Lingnan should not let this situation continue. ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said: "If Qian Shouyi controls the overall situation, I am afraid that if there is no choice on the Lingnan side, it is only possible to pinch his nose and admit this matter." ”

"Is it possible for Lingnan to let Qian Wenzhong come back? Once Qian Wenzhong comes back, he may be able to turn the tables. Qin Kuandao.

"Impossible!" Ren Xiaonian said categorically: "Lingnan Xiangxun is not stupid, how can Qian Wenzhong come back at this time, do you think Qian Shouyi will honestly hand over power?" No, no, once Qian Shouyi knows the news, it will only lead to more killings and make Jiangxi's vitality lose more. In any case, Jiangxi is an important part of their Southern Alliance, as long as Qian Shouyi expresses his willingness to stay in the Southern Alliance, then Qian Wenzhong may not be able to come back. ”

"So, Jiangxi can't pose any threat to us now?" Liu Yuan said excitedly: "Now Qian Shouyi's biggest task is to fear his rule. There is no mind or energy to take care of us, at this time, we don't have to provoke him anymore, but concentrate on passing through Hunan wholeheartedly. ”

Qin Kuan nodded again and again: "General Ren, yes!" The general Xingyuan asked us to only take Zhuzhou. But now that infighting has broken out in Jiangxi, we can't draw out our strength at all, so we can launch it with all our might, take Zhuzhou, and then attack Xiangtan directly. Xiangtan is the gateway of Changsha, and if Xiangtan is taken, Hunan can't help but send elites from the Yiyang front line to defend, so Yueyang will have a lot of opportunities. When the time comes, Hunan will be able to take care of its head, but it will not be able to take care of its feet. ”

Ren Xiaonian pondered for a moment: "I want to think about this matter, don't worry." Liu Yuan, your department will be stationed in Pingxiang immediately, where is it, and all the work that should be done will be done. Including the preliminary preparations for the arrival of the army, understand? ”

"Got it!" Liu Yuan nodded again and again: "Don't worry, when the main force arrives, I will be ready for whatever you need." ”

Ren Xiaonian nodded.

After the generals left, Ren Xiaonian sat alone in the hall and fell into deep thought.

This is an opportunity.

For him, a rare opportunity.

There is no doubt that Datang attaches great importance to military merits. Otherwise, with the backgrounds of him and Jose, it would be impossible to go all the way to today's position. As long as you have made military achievements, then the channel for ascent is unimpeded.

It's a pity that the difference in thought back then allowed him to leave Zuo Xiaowei.

Actually, it's not wrong. In the years of Youqianniuwei, he has been smooth sailing. However, in his early thirties, he has become the Zhonglang general of the Right Qianniuwei, and the other Zhonglang General Yu Xiaowen is not as good as himself in terms of qualifications and ability, in fact, he is the real third-in-command among the right Qianniuwei. Except for the general Li Mi and the supervisor Gao Wufu, even if it is himself.

Speaking of which, I should really be satisfied.

But sometimes, people, just can't be compared.

When a comrade-in-arms who was once almost as good as him or even worse than his own ability, his friend suddenly rushed to the front of him, and there was something unpleasant in his heart after all.

Jose became the general of Zuo Xiwei, and said from the bottom of his heart that Ren Xiaonian was happy. He knew very well that he would never be able to sit in the position of General Zuo Xiaowei.

Because he betrayed Zuo Xiaowei back then, when Zuo Xiaowei was in the most difficult time, he chose to be a deserter, and chose to go to the right Qianniuwei, who was in the limelight.

Those old brothers who were in Zuo Xiaowei back then would never forgive themselves.

Just like Jose, after that, he was a little estranged from himself, and he no longer called himself a big dog like in the past. The last time in Chang'an, when Jose called Brother Ren, Ren Xiaonian really had mixed feelings.

He really wanted the two to meet again, beating each other's chests, and then having a bear hug, both trying their best to want each other to surrender and beg for mercy under their own strength, and then you call Ren Dagou, I call one ear, how fast!

But none of this is likely.

If we meet again, I will have to salute him.

Now Jose is already the general of the right guard. The twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty, the twelve generals.

As a military general, he is about to reach the top, and further up, there is only the military committee.

Of course, Ren Xiaonian wanted to go further.

However, the matter of running away from Zuo Xiaowei back then now seems to have left a bad image in the minds of many people. When the position was still low, no one cared about this, but at this point, this point has become his fatal weakness.

But back then, where could I have thought that I could go all the way to today's high position!

When I came up, I didn't want to go down anymore.

When I came up, I wanted to go further.

The position of the general is only one step away from Ren Xiaonian. It seems that as long as he works hard, he can step on this step again.

As long as his military exploits are sufficient, then the weakness of the previous scriptures will be insignificant.

But this step is the most difficult to step on.

You must know that there are still a lot of people who are almost the same as their own qualifications and who have made great achievements. People like Li Hao, Li Rui, and Li De are like this, and they still have a relationship that Ren Xiaonian does not have, they are all from secret camps.

Similarly, there are people with more qualifications than themselves, such as Chen Changping and Liang Han.

But that's all there is to it.

Ren Xiaonian thought about it, and the only ones who might have vacancies and retires next were Wang Sili, Li Cunzhong, Zhang Jia, and Tian Ping.

Xue Chong didn't have to think about it, Zuo Jin Wuwei had been transferred to the Construction Corps, and that was not where he wanted to go.

Although he said that he is still very young and has no opportunities in the future, such opportunities are really rare. If you are one step too late, you won't be able to keep up with each step in the future.

Military merit!

He needs more prominent military exploits to prove himself.

Ren Xiaonian Huo Ran stood up, walked out of the window, pushed open the window, the cold rain hit his face, hit him in the face, Ren Xiaonian closed his eyes, trying his best to calm down.

Right now, it's an opportunity.

If Jiangxi is in internal strife, it will not be able to threaten its own back road, so if the whole army attacks, takes Xiangtan, and puts on a posture to attack Changsha, it will inevitably cause the shock of the Yiyang front line in Hunan. Ding Sheng will have to return to the division to rescue Changsha, then, Yiyang's troops are insufficient, and Shi Zhuang can take the opportunity to march and take Yiyang at a very small price.

The Tang Dynasty took Yiyang and Xiangtan, which was equivalent to locking the throat of Changsha, and the whole of Hunan fell into the hands of the Tang army, and it was just around the corner.

With a bang, he closed the window, strode to the door, pushed open the door, and called the soldiers waiting outside the door, "Let people go to Chen Wen immediately, find it, let him come to see me!" ”

The entire establishment of the right thousand Niu Wei is 35,000 people. Li Yu's 10,000 Chinese army naturally ranks first in terms of combat effectiveness, followed by the 10,000 horses under Ren Xiaonian, the 10,000 army led by Yu Xiaowen ranks third, and the other 5,000 people are logistics baggage, scouts and various technical personnel.

With Ren Xiaonian's 10,000 people alone, it is naturally very difficult to complete such a big idea. But isn't there a tool man for Ren Xiaonian to drive?

Liu Xinda, you can also squeeze a handful of oil and water from him at the end.
