"Jieshuai, isn't it inappropriate for you to refuse King Shou's alliance? What if I offend King Shou? After Li Ye left, Deputy Envoy Yang Maoyan came to Yang Shili's side and said with a worried expression.

Yang Shili picked up the teacup, blew away the tea leaves on the surface, took a small sip, and said lightly, "A degraded prince is just what can he do?" Forming an alliance with him will undoubtedly give Tian Lingzi an excuse, colluding with the vassal king is not a trivial matter, what if he makes a big fuss about it? ”

For Li Ye, Yang Shili held the attitude of not being an enemy, and sent troops to meet the other party before, which was also because of a gesture of goodwill. But if the other party actually wants to form an alliance with him, he is not very happy.

To be precise, he doesn't look down on King Shou, although the other party is somewhat well-known and has made great contributions to quelling the rebellion. But that was just the quelling of an ordinary rebellion, not worth mentioning, and there was nothing to be proud of.

King Shou's reliance is nothing more than the Tiance Army, but the Tiance Army is less than 10,000 people, and he is not qualified to be his ally.

Don't look at Li Ye as a prince, but in Yang Shili's eyes, the prince is nothing at all, a few years ago, the Huangchao army invaded Chang'an, and there are fewer princes and princesses who died?

"The festival commander is far-sighted, but he is dull." Yang Maoyan nodded.

"By the way, Junxiong, there are only more than 400 people in King Shou's party, how did they kill nearly a thousand dead soldiers from Chen Jingxuan's faction?" Yang Shili put down the teacup and asked with some curiosity.

He has always been curious about this matter, but he didn't ask Li Ye in person. He didn't think that Li Ye's personal soldiers were so strong, since Chen Jingxuan sent them to intercept and kill Li Ye, they were definitely not a rabble. But in this case, Li Ye killed nearly 1,000 dead soldiers with less than 500 men, and only more than 100 people were killed or wounded, which made him incredible.

"Jie Shuai, I don't know much about this lowly person." Zheng Junxiong shook his head, "When the humble post arrived, the defenders of Lutou Pass had already arrived, and it was impossible to find out what was going on at the scene.

However, he has seen the soldiers around King Shou, and he is awe-inspiring, and he seems to be a veteran of the battlefield, it may be that King Shou learned about this interception in advance and was prepared. The black-clothed men who intercepted and killed had no armor, and they suffered a lot in battle. ”

Yang Shili shook his head, obviously thinking that things would not be so simple, but it was obviously impossible to know what the situation was. No matter what the real situation is, it can be shown that he may have underestimated this Shouwang.

。。。。。。

Xingyuan Mansion, at this time, Xingyuan Mansion was full of laughter and joy, in addition to the approaching New Year, there was also the Zhongwu Badu defeated the attacking Niu Miao.

Although Niu Miao was defeated by the Zhongwu Badu led by Lu Yanhong before, he finally fled in embarrassment. But Niu Miao did not give up, but retreated to Fengzhou, gathering more than 10,000 troops from Xingzhou and Fengzhou to make a comeback. At the beginning, Zhongwu Badu underestimated the enemy and suffered a small loss, but a few days ago, he defeated Niu Miao in Xingzhou and annihilated six or seven thousand enemies.

Niu Miao's troops are not many, so this time the loss of troops will be six or seven thousand, which can be described as a great loss of vitality. After this battle, Niu Miao has nothing to fear, and without Niu Xuan's containment, Zhongwu Badu can attack other places with confidence.

"Congratulations to the marshal, I want to come to this battle, even if the court is dissatisfied, for the sake of the overall situation, I will recognize the identity of the marshal."

Although Lu Yanhong claimed to be the queen at this time, his cronies regarded him as a real envoy of moderation, so the title has also changed. However, Wang Jian, Han Jian and others did not agree with this title, but at present, Lu Yanhong is powerful, they do not agree, and they do not object, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

"Haha, pass the order down, give the whole army soldiers, and everyone will be rewarded consistently. Waiting for this marshal to become a festival envoy, there are also serious injuries. Lu Yanhong, who was in a good mood, waved his hand, and tens of thousands of pieces were scattered.

He definitely doesn't have so much money himself, but the treasury of Xingyuan Mansion and Niu Qiao's family have a lot of money, plus the money collected from all over the country, there are still millions of yuan. This is the wealth accumulated by Niu Miao and others for many years, but now it has directly become his Lu Yanhong's bag.

"Now that the overall situation has been decided, shouldn't General Lu also fulfill his previous promise?" The traitor on the side said lightly.

Hearing that the other party still called himself his former official position, Lu Yanhong's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, but now it was not time to turn his face, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said with a smile, "Naturally not, but you want to be the assassin of which state, you can think about it yourself, and you have to lead the army to capture it yourself." ”

Don't look at the fact that Lu Yanhong and others have expelled Niu Miao, but for the 1 prefecture and 14 prefectures in Shannan West Road, they only occupied 1 prefecture and 2 prefectures, namely Xingyuanfu, Yangzhou and Jinzhou. Jinzhou has been occupied by Yang Shouliang, and Yangzhou is closer to Xingyuan Mansion, so the position of assassin was given to Pang Cong by Lu Yanhong.

And Niu Miao still occupies the two states of Xingfeng, and Han Jian and the others can only consider the land of the ten states south of Micang Mountain. However, although these ten states did not send troops to reinforce Xingyuanfu, they had geographical advantages, Lizhou guarded the Jinniu Road, Jizhou guarded the Micang Road, and Bizhou guarded the Lychee Road, and it was not very easy to attack.

Because it was not easy to capture, Lu Yanhong didn't care. What he thought was that no matter whether Wang Jian and the others could be defeated or not, their strength would inevitably be reduced, and when the time came, he would just be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"No problem, if General Lu doesn't mind, I'll leave Xingyuan Mansion tomorrow."

Wang Jian and the others no longer want to be Lu Yanhong's cannon fodder, even if other states are not easy to attack, it is not impossible to defeat. As long as they occupy a state, their strength will grow rapidly, and as long as the five people form an alliance, they will naturally not be afraid of Lu Yanhong.

So, the five of them chose their own sites. Han Jian chose Lizhou, Li Shitai chose Langzhou, Wang Jian chose Bizhou, Zhang Zao chose Jizhou, and Jin Hui chose Bazhou, these five states, except for Bizhou, are all places that Li Ye wants to control.

After reaching an agreement, Lu Yanhong announced the appointment of several people, but when several people were happy, the pro-soldiers outside reported that the person sent to Lizhou to inquire about the news had returned.

The man he sent was named Zhao Zhongwu, and he was his nephew. Because of the failure of the attack, he sent the other party to Lizhou to inquire about the enemy's situation, but calculating the time, the other party did not stay in Lizhou for two days at most, and then came back, what news can be found out from this?

Lu Yanhong frowned and said, "Let him in." ”

Originally, Lu Yanhong was going to go to the next room, but Zhao Zhongwu just broke in, looking panicked, and when he saw Lu Yanhong, he shouted, "Uncle, something is wrong." ”

Lu Yanhong saw that his nephew was so breathless, and there were outsiders next to him, so he was a little unhappy, and glared at the other party, "What are you calling?" Look at you, if you panic when you encounter something, what can you do? I didn't ask you to go to Lizhou to find out the news, why did you come back so soon? ”

"Uncle... Zhao Zhongwu couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking a little afraid, and then he saw that Wang Jian and the others next to him were also there, so he hesitated.

"Say anything!" Lu Yanhong said dissatisfiedly, "General Wang and the others are not outsiders!" ”

Zhao Zhongwu said anxiously, "Uncle, something really happened." I found out the news in Lizhou, and the imperial court did not recognize my uncle's jiedu envoy, but appointed Shouwang as the new jiedu envoy and Xingyuanmu. At the same time, Xing and Feng Erzhou set up a righteous army to make a festival, and Niu Miao was a festival envoy.

In addition, the imperial court also ordered King Shou to be the commander and lead the Tiance Army, the Ganyi Army and the Dongchuan Army to crusade against your uncle. ”

"What?" Hearing this result, not only Lu Yanhong, but also Wang Jian and others were surprised, their mouths opened wide, and they couldn't close them for a long time.

"Is that true?" Lu Yanhong was the first to react and asked anxiously.

"It's true, when I left, the cavalry of the Tiance Army had already arrived in Lizhou. And I heard that the follow-up army was on the way to Lizhou, and my nephew came back to report the news to my uncle, so that my uncle could prepare. Zhao Zhongwu explained.

"How so? Who is this Shouwang? Why didn't Ben Shuai hear that there was such a prince? Lu Yanhong said and looked at Wang Jian and the others.

"I don't know about the prince in the court." Wang Jian shook his head, if you want to talk about King Ji or something, he has heard of it, but King Shou, he really doesn't know. In the past few years, they have been fighting against the Huangchao army, who cares about which princes are in the court.

"Shouwang?" The green-robed scribe on the side couldn't help frowning.

"What? Li Senjun knows who this Shouwang is? Seeing Li Zhen, who was frowning, Lu Yanhong couldn't help asking.

This Li Zhen is his current strategist, and it is precisely because of the other party that he will capture Xingyuan Mansion and expel Niu Xuan. He knows a little about this Li Zhen, although he is young, he is quite strategic, otherwise he would not trust the other party very much.

The other party's background is not simple, his great-grandfather is Li Baozhen, a famous general in the Xingtang Dynasty. Li Zhen has been very smart since he was a child, and he boasts that he has the talent of his great-grandfather, so he went to participate in the imperial examination, but he was defeated by Sun Shan in several exams.

Later, due to the Huangchao Rebellion, the other party was exiled in Shangzhou, and the other party was going to Chengdu to participate in the imperial examination, but was forcibly arrested into the army by Lu Yanhong's army. Because he wanted to live, he dared to find Lu Yanhong and persuaded Lu Yanhong with his skills. Lu Yanhong was impressed by Li Zhen's strategy, and learned Li Zhen's identity, so he happened to lack such a strategist under his subordinates, so he kept the other party by his side and entrusted him with a heavy task.

Of course, the other party didn't really stay by his side, and Lu Yanhong also knew this. But even so, he still trusts Li Zhen.

Li Zhen nodded, "Hui Jieshuai, Xia Guan has indeed heard of this Shou King, but he never thought that the other party would be appointed as the envoy of Shannan West Province and Xing Yuanmu. ”

"Then who is this Shouwang? Why didn't Ben Shuai survive? There are only a few more famous princes in the royal family, and now they are also dead and fleeing. Lu Yanhong wondered.

"Actually, it's not strange that the handsome section doesn't know, the main thing is that the rise of this Shouwang is very short, and if the lower official remembers correctly, the other party is only 17 years old this year."

"17 years old?" Hearing this age, the generals present looked a little strange.

No way, 17 years old is too young for them, the youngest of the heads of Zhongwu Badu are all thirty years old, and Lu Yanhong's sons are almost 20 years old. So when I heard that this Shouwang was only 17 years old, it was normal for everyone to be surprised.

"It should be about the same, this Shouwang is the younger brother of His Majesty today, and he is the seventh prince of the previous emperor. Because of his previous meritorious service in saving the driver, he was appointed as the general of the Tiance Army, and this person has some talent. ”

Speaking of the back, Lu Yanhong couldn't help but smile, talent was a useless thing in their eyes. Thinking of this, everyone despised this young Shouwang a little.

However, Li Zhen on the side was pondering, he didn't think that this Shouwang was easy to deal with, although he also knew nothing about this Shouwang. But he was more surprised by this appointment of King Shou.

If it is said to be Xingyuan Mu, it is normal to say that the position of Fu Mu is generally suspended by the prince. However, now the other party is also serving as the envoy of the festival, and at the same time, he is also the general of the Tiance army, although the Tiance army is only a few thousand people, but this is also more than the troops controlled by an ordinary prince.

The sudden news shattered everyone's dreams, especially for Wang Jian and others. In addition, they were classified as rebels, and the imperial court also sent the Three Towns army to encircle and suppress them, which is not good news.

After the arrival of the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, how did they deal with themselves?

Just when everyone in the Zhongwu Eight Capitals had different thoughts, Li Ye, who was quick to whip up, also arrived in Lizhou. Here, a new chapter in his life will be opened!

Sorry, I came back late from overtime today, so there is only one shift.
