Deng Shangchi ran all the way, didn't catch anything, and was damaged by Chen Ziqian's head and face, and finally left the mansion in a gloomy manner, and left the city overnight, it seems that he is still going in the direction of Pingyong.

Obviously, the task was not completed here in Yong'an, and he really wanted to go to Pingyong to encourage Zeng Yuanqi at this time.

In the palace, Chen Ziqian and Luo Taibai were not in a hurry to leave, and through what Deng Shangchi said before and after, they could generally guess the attitude of Tongzhou Thorn Shi.

This time, he took the initiative to recommend Chen Ziqian as the Yong'an Taishou, and Tongzhou Assassin Shi obviously miscalculated the situation, and even misestimated Chen Ziqian.

They thought that Chen Ziqian and Zeng Yuanqi were mortal enemies, and they could use Chen Ziqian as a gunman through this almsgation, and they would smoothly let the two rebellious forces consume each other.

To be honest, with such an obvious intention to win over, if anyone is in Chen Ziqian's position, there is a chance that he will sell face to Tongzhou to assassinate him.

After all, he is a real boss, and under normal circumstances, he can go to the court at any time to get rid of Chen Ziqian's position.

Moreover, Yong'an is still in Tongzhou, which really makes the assassin Shi anxious, and several surrounding counties can send troops to encircle and suppress Yong'an.

The most important thing is that Yong'an is isolated from the enemy on all sides, and Thorn Shi took the initiative to throw an olive branch over, which is equivalent to an extra way back.

It's just that he sent troops to help encircle and suppress the rebellion, and as a Taishou appointed by the imperial court, this is completely within his bounds.

As Tan Wenhao said, there is an excuse not to send troops, and there is also a reason not to let the assassin insert people, as long as it is with the mud, there is no need to openly tear your face.

Chen Ziqian treated Deng Shangchi like this, to put it bluntly, there is no difference between directly declaring war on Tongzhou Assassin History.

Is it necessary to be so extreme in the midst of this chaos?

In the palace, after driving away Deng Shangchi, the three of them were silent for a long time without speaking.

Tan Wenhao had just joined Chen Ziqian, and he didn't know much about Chen Ziqian's style of acting, and he was silent thinking about Chen Ziqian's intention to do so.

Luo Taibai is different, he understands Chen Ziqian, and his silence is instead weighing the pros and cons of tearing his face with Tongzhou Thorn History.

Chen Ziqian was also thinking, but he was thinking about Yong'an's current situation and the reason why Tongzhou Assassin Shi did this.

It is obvious that Tongzhou Assassin Shi wants to take this opportunity to consume the strength of him and Zeng Yuanqi, and in addition, it also shows in disguise that Tongzhou Assassin Shi will not be able to rush back in a short period of time to personally quell the chaos.

This is interesting, the main military forces of Tongzhou have been transferred to attack Huaizhou, and now the troops of all counties in Tongzhou are very limited, which is a good opportunity to expand the territory.

Just as Zeng Yuanqi waved his troops to Pingyong before, his intention was to expand his territory, if nothing else, Zeng Yuanqi now has three counties and occupies the entire east of Tongzhou.

Now the same opportunity is in front of Chen Ziqian, whether to send troops or not, where to send troops, Yongan must now come up with a new strategic policy.

These thoughts quickly crossed through his mind, and Chen Ziqian realized Yong'an's passive situation, this time Tongzhou Assassin Shi couldn't come back to make these commotion operations, trying to make him and Zeng Yuan have internal friction.

Once the Tongzhou Assassin Shi returns, he can directly use troops against Yong'an without Zeng Yuanqi, and Yong'an, who is isolated and helpless at that time, is not far from destruction.

Of course, because of Jing Cenian, Yongan has indeed missed the best opportunity for development now.

As Luo Taibai said, Yong'an has been in frequent disasters recently, the people are scattered, and the soldiers and horses are tired.

But it is undeniable that Chen Ziqian did not accept the olive branch of Thorn Shi this time, which is indeed a wise choice.

Because once you get on the chariot of Tongzhou Thorn History, your fate will be completely handed over to Tongzhou Thorn History, and it will be difficult to get off the car in the future.

And that was contrary to Chen Ziqian's original intention of self-reliance at the beginning, and Luo Taibai and other generals who surrendered to the assassin Shi would not agree.

If that is the case, Yongan will be divided first, and the situation will only be worse in the future.

It's difficult to do, on the one hand, it is the history of the Tongzhou assassin that may come at any time, and on the other hand, it is subject to various unstable factors under his subordinates.

If you move, you will be in chaos, and if you don't move, you will sit and wait to die.

Chen Ziqian pondered for a moment, and he had no other choice but to strike first!

"I intend to raise troops to recruit Huaihua, what do you think?" Chen Ziqian opened his mouth to break the peace in the hall, Luo Taibai and Tan Wenhao are one of the long history of military and political affairs, and the other is a county in charge of internal affairs, if they want to move troops, they must fully cooperate, otherwise this battle will be lost first if it is not fought.

Luo Taibai and Tan Wenhao glanced at each other, just sent away the assassin staff, and in a blink of an eye, they decided to raise troops to recruit Huaihua, and the lord's action was a little too fast to keep up!

Luo Taibai thought for a while and said: "Huaihua's geographical location is sensitive, if it can be captured, it will be a big help to the lord, but the problem is that we currently have 60,000 soldiers and horses, and we must leave soldiers and horses to defend the border, and we must send troops to conscript, I am afraid that there will be a lot of strength in terms of troops, and this battle is too difficult." ”

Tan Wenhao also added: "The disaster of war in the territory has just been calmed down, and the people's livelihood has just improved, at this time, it is a good time to develop internal affairs. ”

"That's not what you should be thinking about." Chen Ziqian said with a serious face: "Changshi is responsible for providing soldiers and horses and ordnance, and Juncheng is responsible for the supply of grain, grass and military salaries, I don't need too many soldiers and horses, I can send troops to Huaihua with 50,000, I don't care what method you use, within five days, you must raise troops!" ”

"This ......" Tan Wenhao and Luo Taibai were a little embarrassed, Yongan had a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses, and 50,000 were withdrawn at once, and Yongan was in a worrying situation.

Luo Taibai also felt that there was something wrong and said: "In terms of the current situation of Yong'an, it is indeed imperative to raise troops, but now to conquer Huaihua, will it be too hasty, after all, that Mr. Deng is conclusive, maybe he can really encourage Zeng Yuan to rise up and invade Yong'an, when the time comes, our army is busy conquering Huaihua, and the rear is bound to have no time to take care of it, and I don't think that with Zeng's more than 300 people, we can restrain Zeng Yuanqi. ”

"Nonsense, if I want to attack Pingyong, why should I tear my face with Thorn Shi?"

Chen Ziqian rolled his eyes and said: "It is true that Zeng Yuanqi may indeed take advantage of our conquest of Huaihua to attack Yong'an behind his back, but this is not impossible to solve, but if we attack Pingyong in the east, Huaihua will also stumble behind his back, and even after we and Zeng Yuanqi consume each other, the assassin can easily recover the two counties of Yongan and Pingyong when he comes back, that is the way to self-destruction, we must firmly press Zeng Yuanqi in Pingyong, only in this way, when the assassin Shi comes back with his troops, can we be invincible." ”

"What does the lord mean by forming an alliance with Zeng Yuanqi?" Luo Taibai reacted quickly, and his thoughts spun even faster.

Chen Ziqian nodded and said: "In the long run, the assassin will definitely not sit back and watch Yong'an and Pingyong become independent, we have a common enemy with Zeng Yuanqi, if we fight separately, sooner or later we will be killed by the assassin history, if we can form an alliance, we can cooperate with each other, why not?" ”

"Zeng Yuanqi lost Yong'an because of the lord, and even missed the entire strategic situation, the lord is still detaining more than 300 people of the Zeng family, Zeng Yuanqi can he agree to the lord's willingness to form an alliance?" Tan Wenhao is not optimistic about this, he has such a deep hatred, Zeng Yuanqi is afraid that he will be eager to eat Chen Ziqian alive, how can he be willing to form an alliance?

What's more, the assassin has also sent someone to win over Zeng Yuanqi, and now the choice is completely in Zeng Yuanqi's hands, is there a need for people to form an alliance?

Chen Ziqian doesn't have much confidence in this, but an alliance is imperative, and you can't do nothing, right?

"Whether you can reach an alliance will have to try to find out, in short, your current task is to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses, grain, grass and military salaries for me in five days, and I will handle it over there Zeng Yuanqi."
