Two days later, Wang Yu arrived in Qishan County, the capital of Haizhou, which is today's Lianyungang, which has a natural harbor and has always been an important place for soldiers to fight.

Haizhou first belonged to the Huainan territory, and at the same time that Zhu Zhu sent troops to capture Yangzhou, Li Na also sent troops to occupy Haizhou, making Haizhou the southernmost territory of Li Na.

However, according to the agreement reached between Li Na and Guo Song, Li Na had ceded Haizhou to Guo Song, and not long after the agreement was reached, Wang Yu went to Haizhou on the orders of Guo Song, visited Haizhou Assassin Zuo Chenghao and Changshi Li You, and obtained a letter of commitment from the two to be loyal to the King of Jin.

At present, there is no Li Na's army in Haizhou, and Zhou Min, the deputy commander of the internal security sent by Guo Song, led a thousand internal guard soldiers to enter Qishan County and Donghai County in advance to conduct a carpet investigation and clearance.

Haizhou will be the key to Guo Song's capture of Quanzhou's warships and even Quanzhou's capital.

Wang Yu came to the county seat, Changshi Li You greeted him, Wang Yu didn't see Zuo Chenghao, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely: "What about Zuo Thorn History?" ”

Li You sighed, "Don't mention it, something unexpected happens, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

Wang Yu saw Zhou Min, the deputy commander of the internal guard, hurrying over, so he asked, "General Zhou, but something unusual happened?" ”

Zhou Min nodded, "The people who discovered Zhu Zhu are also infiltrating Haizhou, and it has something to do with the history of thorns!" ”

Wang Yu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

"Back to the military division, Zuo Chenghao committed suicide by poisoning, and the situation has been controlled."

Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Changshi Li You into the state office, and Zhou Min also went in to report.

The three of them sat down in the inner hall, Li You motioned to Zhou Min to say first, Zhou Min said: "About ten days ago, we received a secret report, saying that the Dasheng rice shop in the city is Zhu Jun's spies, we monitored this rice shop, and found that Zuo Chenghao's housekeeper came to the rice shop three times a day, and they all entered through the back door, we secretly arrested the rice shop shopkeeper, the shopkeeper admitted that the rice shop was Zhu Zhu's intelligence point, and also confessed that Zuo Chenghao had actually surrendered to Zhu Zhu a long time ago, so we raided the rice shop and arrested all the spies. ”

"And then?"

Wang Yu asked: "What did Zuo Chenghao say, how many secrets were leaked?" ”

Next to Li Youkou said: "I went to Zuo Chenghao and persuaded him to explain the matter clearly, make meritorious atonement, he said that the crime is not redeemable, and then drank the Heding red prepared in advance, and was killed on the spot. ”

Wang Yu looked at Zhou Min again, and Zhou Min nodded, "The people in the rice shop also admit that they sent several important information to Luoyang, including Li Na's cession of Haizhou to us!" ”

Wang Yu paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, this is indeed an extraneous incident, intelligence leakage, Zhu Zhu knew about the changes in Haizhou, but fortunately, the relationship between Haizhou and Quanzhou is a top secret, no one in Haizhou knows, not even Zhou Min, the deputy commander of the internal guard, there is still room for slow change in this matter.

Haizhou was a game of chess personally controlled by His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and Wang Yu realized that he had to report the matter to the outside of the King of Jin immediately.

...........

In Luoyang, Zhu Jun held a small discussion in the imperial study, which was attended by Liu Sigu, the military adviser, Liu Feng, the right minister, and Yao Lingyan, the left minister, and the content of the discussion was about Haizhou.

Zhu Jun really didn't expect that Guo Song and Li Na had reached a secret agreement, Li Na ceded Haizhou, this news made him shocked and angry, Haizhou is also a place where he is bound to win, and it was snatched away by Guo Song without a single soldier.

But Liu Sigu thinks that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and Guo Song must have a deep meaning when he takes Haizhou, but he himself can't see through the deep meaning of the other party's seizure of Haizhou, so he has today's expanded discussion.

Zhu Jun briefly told them about the situation, and finally said: "The military advisor thinks that the Jin army's capture of Haizhou has deep meaning, so I invite the two Xiangguo to discuss together, and everyone can speak freely!" ”

Liu Feng took the lead and immediately asked Liu Sigu, "May I ask the military advisor, what is the meaning of the Jin army's occupation of Haizhou?" ”

Liu Sigu's mood was not very stable during this time, the reason was that after Zhang Guangsheng returned to Luoyang, he was immediately arrested by Meihuawei, put him in prison, and tortured him, forcing him to confess the details of his fornication with Guo Song.

At the same time, Zhu Jun dismissed Zhang Guangsheng from all official positions and titles, demoted him to a commoner, the whole family was driven out of the mansion, and his two sons were arrested.

Although Zhu Jun repeatedly reassured Liu Sigu that the Zhang Guangsheng incident had nothing to do with him, Liu Sigu's plea for intercession was not agreed, and soon the news came that Zhang Guangsheng committed suicide in prison, and his family was confiscated as official slaves.

And on the Haizhou incident, he only discussed with himself and had nothing to do with Liu Feng, but the Son of Heaven or Liu Feng came to discuss together, but he just took care of his own face and brought Yao Lingyan together, which was obviously a little distrustful of himself, so Liu Sigu was in a low mood and didn't have much heart to fight Liu Feng.

In the face of Liu Feng's aggressiveness, Liu Sigu said lightly: "In terms of strategic layout, I am not Guo Song's opponent, and I can't see through his layout, so the saint will find two of them to discuss together." ”

Liu Sigu took a step back, making Liu Feng punch the air, Liu Feng was slightly stunned, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, "It's rare for a military advisor to admit that his skills are not as good as others!" ”

Liu Sigu said lightly: "I don't feel ashamed to lose to Guo Song, but Liu Xiangguo has some high opinions, I am very willing to listen to it!" ”

Liu Feng became more and more proud in his heart, he bowed to Zhu Jun, "Your Majesty, of course Li Na will not cede Haizhou to Guo Song for no reason, since it is ceded at the negotiation table, Li Na must also get the urgently needed materials, such as soldiers, money and food, otherwise how would he be willing to give Haizhou to the other party."

As for why Haizhou, it is easy to understand, Guo Song would prefer Qizhou or Laizhou, but did Li Naken agree? It must be that the core land refuses to agree, so he agrees to give up the marginal land, and Haizhou is close to Chuzhou, Weichen thinks that it is logical to cede Haizhou! ”

Of course, Liu Feng himself can't say this truth, this is all taught to him by Yang Mi, so he can talk about it here, although it is a little straightforward, but Zhu Jun feels that it makes sense, Li Na and his son attach great importance to the land, unless Guo Song takes out the soldiers and money, otherwise Li Na will not agree to give up the land.

Zhu Jun moved his fat body slightly, the flesh on his face shook twice, he made himself sit more comfortably, and looked at Yao Lingyan on the left with small eyes.

"What about Yao Xiangguo's thoughts?"

Yao Lingyan is thin and small, following the tall, black and fat Liu Feng like a little follower, he has been cleaned up by Liu Feng, since Zhu Jun asked him, of course he echoed Liu Feng, but he spoke a little more clever than Liu Feng.

Yao Lingyan bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that it is normal for Guo Song to ask for the cession of Haizhou, and there is nothing other meaning to talk about. ”

"Tell me your reasons!"

"Your Majesty, Haizhou originally belonged to Huainan Province, and was only occupied by Li Na five years ago, when Li Na asked Guo Song, of course Guo Song would take the opportunity to claim back Haizhou, and it was the same for Li Na, Haizhou was not his inherent territory, in order to get affordable money, food and materials, return Haizhou to Huainan, Li Na will never be too distressed, this is the compromise in the negotiations, both sides have their own interests, so the negotiations will be successful, Weichen feels that this is not a big deal, and it is not worth studying."

After speaking, Yao Lingyan quickly glanced at Liu Sigu, and seeing that his face was gloomy, he immediately took a step back and stood behind Liu Feng.

Zhu Jun didn't notice these details, but Liu Feng and Yao Lingyan's opinions convinced him, especially Yao Lingyan's reasons were very convincing, since Guo Song occupied Huainan, of course, it was impossible to give up Haizhou.

Zhu Jun glanced at Liu Sigu again, and asked with a smile, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Liu Sigu bowed and said: "The two Xiangguo have a high opinion, but they can't convince Weichen, Weichen maintains his own opinion, what Guo Song does has deep meaning, especially at this critical moment, it is not as simple as wanting to take back Haizhou." ”

Zhu Jun was a little unhappy, pulled down his face and said: "Since the military advisor believes that Guo Song has a conspiracy, then find out this conspiracy as soon as possible, I really want to hear the conclusion of the military advisor." ”

After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he asked Liu Feng again, "When is Quanzhou going to send troops?" ”

Liu Feng hurriedly said: "Quanzhou needs to listen to our arrangement, and then they can cooperate." ”

Zhu Jun asked Liu Sigu again: "Is it feasible to advance the plan to attack Li Na to mid-January?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Yellow River has not yet begun to thaw in mid-January, so it is best to attack Li Na in early February according to the original plan."

At this time, Yao Lingyan said: "Your Majesty, although there are still pedestrians on the Yellow River in mid-January, it is limited to a small number of pedestrians, and a large-scale army march is a bit dangerous. ”

Zhu Jun nodded, "It's decided, launch an offensive on January 20." ”

Liu Sigu had no choice but to agree.

Zhu Jun said to Liu Feng again: "Inform the envoys of Quanzhou and ask them to go north in early February, land directly in Dengzhou, and launch an attack on Li Na's back!" ”
