Chapter 595: Jing Xiang's Plan (Second Update)
Originally, Zhu Wen was the king of the feudal towns, which once delayed the offensive pace of the imperial army, at least from the beginning of the imperial court's announcement of the crusade, and the current imperial army only attacked the city of Zhengzhou.
Although Heyang and Weibo were occupied by the imperial court, these two towns were not counted as Zhu Wen's jurisdiction, but only the jiedu envoys of the two towns were attached to Xuanwu.
On the contrary, it was the Great Liang who captured the Tianping Army Jiedu Envoy, and also captured most of the Shannan Dongdao and Taining Military Jiedu Envoys, plus the Wuchang Army Jiedu Du Hong, Wei Bojun Luo Shaowei and the Chengde Army Jiedu Envoy who was still holding on.
Judging from the map, at this time, the Great Liang reached Zhenzhou in the north, Yuezhou in the south, Chuzhou in the east, and Dengzhou in the west, and the territory was larger than the original Qin Zongquan's pseudo-Qi.
Zhu Wen's beam seems to be powerful, but there are also many problems.
To the north of the Yellow River, there are only two places in Daliang, Shanzhou and Zhenzhou. The imperial court was heavily garrisoned north of the Yellow River and west of Zhengzhou.
Dongfang, which was progressing relatively well, failed to capture Yanzhou; Similarly, Ge Congzhou did not capture Xiangzhou.
This heavy snow not only helped Zhu Wen, but also helped Zhu Jin. Mobile One second to remember 『→m.\b\iq\u\g\\o\m』 provides you with wonderful \ novels to read.
Even so, Zhu Wen's plan to let Pang Shigu cross the Yellow River in the north was also stranded by the imperial army coming to the city of Zhengzhou.
Those who are familiar with strategy will find that the battle situation in the hinterland of the Central Plains at this time is actually favorable to the Tang army.
The Liang army was at a stalemate with the Taining army in Shannan Dongdao; The siege of Zhengzhou also made Zhu Wen dare not cross the Yellow River north, and the entire Liang army was relatively passive.
The Tang army north of the Yellow River is quelling the rebellion of the German army and stabilizing the horizontal navy, if the imperial court quells the troubles north of the Yellow River, it will be difficult for the army to attack the hinterland of the Liang army.
At this time, Zhu Wen didn't mean to worry at all.
Since he became emperor, the affairs of the court have been handed over to Jing Xiang, Zhu Youwen, Liu Han and others, and he is with Zhuo Zhuo and Zhu Youwen's and Zhu Yougong's wives in the harem.
Of course, Zhu Wen did not canonize the queen, which shows the depth of Zhu Wen's feelings for Zhang Hui, and even Zhuo Zhuo was only named Zhaoyi.
Although Zhu Wen did not manage the government much, Jing Xiang still tried his best to maintain the operation of the new dynasty.
Zhu Wen didn't know what Daliang was facing now, but Jing Xiang was clear, and it was not an exaggeration to have internal and external troubles.
It's not that he didn't persuade Zhu Wen not to call the other party emperor, because being the emperor means that there is no way back.
But Zhu Youwen, Zhu Yougong, Liu Han, and those people in the harem are all bewitching Zhu Wen to be emperor, and in such a situation, it is strange that Jing Xiang can convince Zhu Wen.
The situation north of the Yellow River cannot be changed, and it is unknown how long Wang Rong can hold out, after all, the current Chengde army is no longer the Chengde army of the past.
In a short period of time, it was attacked by the Tang army to Zhenzhou, if it were not for the deep foundation of the Wang family in the Chengde army, it is estimated that Zhenzhou would not be able to hold on to now.
There was no hope north of the Yellow River, so Jing Xiang set his sights on the Jianghuai region.
At this time, the Jianghuai region was also very chaotic, and the situation in the Jianghuai region in the seventh year of Qianning (893 AD) was very different from that in the sixth year of Qianning.
First of all, Sun Ru was defeated by Yang Xingmi, Yang Xingmi was appointed by the Tang Dynasty as the Huainan Jiedu envoy and Xuanzhou observer envoy, and for a time Yang Xingmi ruled the Jianghuai region of Huainan and Xuanzhou, a total of 11 states, and became the largest feudal town in the south.
Although Zhu Wen canonized Yang Xingmi as the king of Huainan, Yang Xingmi did not accept it.
Yang Xingmi, who occupied the two towns of Huainan and Xuanzhou, had greatly increased his strength for a while, how could he surrender to Zhu Wen. TV Mobile/
Unlike Lu Yanwei, Wang Rong and others who coveted the title of prince, Yang Xingmi did not use this to blackmail Chang'an to canonize him as a king with a different surname.
Now that he has just defeated Sun Ru and occupied the eight states of Huainan, how can he still rashly stand in line and enhance his strength.
Jing Xiang didn't think about bringing Yang Xingmi over, but Yang Xingmi didn't accept the move, and he didn't have a problem, so it was impossible to send troops to attack at this time, right?
Yang Xingmi's side didn't work, so Jing Xiang set his sights on Qian Biao.
Because Qian Biao put down Dong Chang's rebellion, his relationship with Chang'an was not good.
The reason is very simple, after seeing that the imperial court ordered Qian Biao and Chen Yan to lead the army to crusade, Dong Chang also regretted it a little, and sent someone to send a letter of guilt to Chang'an.
Due to Dong Chang's good popularity in Chang'an, and the plea of Li Mi, a scholar and secretary of the household department, and Yang Xingmi, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, Li Ye was ready to reduce Dong Chang's official position and transfer him to another place, but he did not mean to execute Dong Chang.
As a result, Qian Biao did not agree, attacked Yuezhou privately, defeated Dong Chang's army, and captured Dong Chang alive.
If he was captured alive, he was killed by Qian Biao on the way to Hangzhou.
This made many ministers in Chang'an unhappy, especially Li Yu, so they played Li Ye, hoping to remove Qian Biao from his position.
It is naturally not possible to remove Qian Biao from his position, but Qian Biao's approach made Li Ye very unhappy.
So Li Ye rejected Qian Di's request to serve as the envoy of the Zhendong Army (i.e., the Yisheng Army), and instead appointed Zheng Ningji as the envoy of the Zhendong Army.
At the same time, Fan Hui was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Zhendong Army.
Fan Hui is the son-in-law of Chen Yan, the former Fujian observer.
When Chen Yan was seriously ill in the sixth year of Qianning, he considered who would take over the post of Fujian Observer Envoy, but as for requesting someone to be sent to the imperial court, Chen Yan did not think about it.
If he could, he naturally wanted his son-in-law Fan Hui to take over, but at that time, the tide of Quanzhou Assassin Wang was strong, and Chen Yan knew that his son-in-law Fan Hui was not Wang Chao's opponent.
Just as the imperial court ordered a crusade against Dong Chang, he took his son-in-law as the commander and led an army of 15,000 to crusade against Dong Chang.
Before Fan Hui could reach Yuezhou, Chen Yan died of illness, and Wang Chao took over Fuzhou and led his own observer.
Fan Hui naturally didn't do it, so he returned with his troops, wanting to recapture Fuzhou from Wang Chao, but he was defeated, and he could only retreat to Wenzhou with thousands of remnants of soldiers and became a lost dog.
After all, Fan Hui responded to the call of the imperial court, and Qian Biao did not respect the imperial court, out of checks and balances, Li Ye appointed Hui as the deputy envoy of the Zhendong Army to assist Zheng Ningji in managing the Zhendong Army.
In order to prevent Qian Biao from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Li Ye gave Yang Xingmi an order and asked him to be responsible for sending troops to cover. In addition, Li Ye also reappointed the state assassins of the Zhendong Army.
As for whether Zheng Ningji can open up the situation and prevent the Zhendong Army from being swallowed up by Qian Biao, it depends on Zheng Ningji's ability.
However, after all, Qian Biao had a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, so Li Ye also appointed him as the envoy of the town navy.
But for this appointment, Qian Biao was naturally dissatisfied, and the relationship with the imperial court was a little stiff.
Jing Xiang saw this situation, so he sent people to Hangzhou to find a way to persuade Qian Biao to accept the canonization of Daliang and become the king of Wuyue of Daliang. Then the Liang army would send troops to Huainan and attack Yang Xingmi with Qian Biao, so that he could recover Runzhou, Suzhou and other places.
As for the town, they were also generously rewarded to Qian Biao, anyway, it was just a waste of cloth and ink.
And seeing the messenger sent by the pseudo-Liang, Qian Biao also fell into a tangle.
