Chen Jingzhou negotiated many details of the peace talks with Wang Yong in Shudu, and observed that the situation in Shu was becoming more and more stable, and he and Wang Zhe did not return to Jinling directly by the southern route, but went all the way north into Liangzhou, and met with Li Changfeng, Li Zhihe, Guo Rong, Wen Bo, Tan Yuliang, Guo Ke and others.

At present, in addition to the new Right Shenwu Army and the Tianpingdu led by Tan Yuliang and the 1,000 guards and cavalry led by Han Donghu, as well as the soldiers and horses led by Li Ji and Chai Xun, Li Zhihe also led the main force of the Zuolongque Army more than 10,000 soldiers and horses into Liangzhou, which increased the elite soldiers and horses of the Chu army in Liangzhou to more than 30,000 people, and at the same time hundreds of ships transported grain and materials between Liangxiang.

At present, the Xiangbei Army and the Li Xiu Division of the Zuowu Army are mainly stationed in the areas north and west of Hanzhong City, such as Chuyang and Baocheng, and are responsible for blocking the exits of Baochuan Road and Chencang Road.

Theoretically, the western flank is also the direction where the pressure on military defense is greatest.

Although Li Zhihe led his troops into Liangzhou as soon as possible and took over the dominance of Liangzhou's defense deployment and military and political affairs, although Li Changfeng was the military envoy of the capital and the leader of Liangzhou's assassination history, he still had to be controlled by Li Zhihe.

However, the main force of the Left Dragon Bird Army led by Li Zhihe took over the western flank area, which was the most geographically dangerous, the most difficult, and had heavier defensive tasks, leaving others speechless.

Chen Jingzhou, as a squire of the military department, as an envoy to Shu State, and then returned to Jinling through Liangzhou, so he naturally rushed to Weiyang City to meet with Li Zhihe and Li Changfeng first, and reported the specific results of the peace talks, but after the reception banquet informed the specific process of the peace talks, he and Wang Zhe rushed back to Hanzhong City with Guo Rong and Wen Bo.

Wen Bo, Tan Yuliang, and Han Donghu led their troops to guard Hanzhong City and Fucheng, and were mainly responsible for blocking the exit of Fu Luo Road.

Fu Luo Road north out of the Qinling Mountains, located in Yongzhou Yishou County, although Wang Xiaoxian led the Heiyun army from Fu Luo Road to attack Guanzhong, but at this time Zhao Mengji, Wang Xiaoxian occupied Qizhou and Fengzhou in Guanzhong at this time, the soldiers and horses shrank back from the west of Yongzhou, and the north entrance of Fu Luo Road fell into the control of the Liang army again, and it was relatively much calmer.

At present, the main passes along the Fushui River along the southern line of Fu Luo Road, such as Tiehe Village and Fukou Pass, are under the control of the newly formed Right Shenwu Army, and they have to directly face the least military defensive pressure.

Hanzhong City is also the Xiongzhen of Shu in the northern line of key operations in these years, the city is more than 1,200 steps square, covered with bricks on all sides, and there are 15,600 households in the city.

The Han River remained unobstructed, and when the Shu army went on a northern expedition to Guanzhong, a large amount of grain was stranded in Liangzhou, so that there was no shortage of materials in Liangzhou because of the large-scale invasion of soldiers and horses.

Wen Bo, Li Zhihe, Li Changfeng, Li Xiu and others were extremely strict in governing the army, so the streets and alleys in Hanzhong City were very deserted, but when Chen Jingzhou and Wang Zhe entered the city at dusk, they saw that the city was quite calm, and there was no chaos of soldiers.

At the same time, Wen Bo also imprisoned the dependents of Zhao Mengji, the assassin of Liangzhou, and his generals, and strictly forbade the harassment of the generals.

Chen Jingzhou also reached an agreement with Wang Yong, the new lord of Shu, as part of the peace agreement, and the Ming court will also be handed over to Cao Gan, who is stationed in Lizhou, to take over, and then the Shu State will pay a part of the ransom to make up for the military expenses of the new right Shenwu army and the reward money for the generals.

Of course, Chen Jingzhou deliberately borrowed the road from Liangzhou to return to China, not simply to inspect the defense deployment of Liangzhou along the road on behalf of the imperial court or to reward the generals, but mainly because it was more convenient for Hanzhong to contact Guanzhong Yongzhou.

Don't talk about Tangyi's attitude, and since the imperial court has now given up the strategy of the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong and the attack on Hehuai, the relationship with Liang will inevitably undergo a new adjustment.

Chen Jingzhou went to Hanzhong and saw the envoys sent by Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang, formed a preliminary intention, and then played the imperial court, which was more justifiable than Tangyi hiding behind the scenes to promote everything.

This is also the main reason why Wang Zhe, who has been mainly responsible for intelligence spying in the Central Plains and Heshuo region for more than a year, accompanied Chen Jingzhou to Shu this time.

When Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian arrived first, they did not launch a fierce counterattack against Liangzhou, and the situation between them and the Liang army in Guanzhong, which occupied Yongzhou and Huazhou, was completely eased.

Taiyuan Mansion fell so easily, resulting in Heshuo, Hedong and other places in just over a year to fall into the pocket of the Mughu, even above the Great Chu court, many courtiers began to consider that if the situation in the Central Plains continued to be chaotic, it is very likely that the Mengwu fisherman will eventually profit, not to mention the Guanzhong Liang army and Zhao Mengji, Wang Xiaoxian's Shu army in the deep whirlpool.

Since there is no hope of easily taking Liangzhou, it is not unimaginable that Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian will not move in Qizhou and Fengzhou.

Wen Bo and Tan Yuliang were stationed in Hanzhong City and Fu City, responsible for blocking Fu Luo Road, and there was also a possibility that they would send troops from Fu Luo Road to reinforce Guanzhong in an emergency.

Of course, what to do in the follow-up is still to communicate with Emperor Zhu Yu's people first.

Chen Jingzhou followed Guo Rong and Wen Bo into Hanzhong City, and that night there were more than a dozen people pretending to be woodcutters and medicine farmers, taking advantage of the cover of night to enter the city from the north city gate, Wang Zhe personally led them at the city gate, all the way to the right Shenwu army tent where the state government was located, and Guo Rong, Chen Jingzhou, Wen Bo and others met more than half a month ago.

The leader was Shen Peng and Zhao Ci, who assisted in successfully kidnapping the Wen clan and then leaving East Lake.

Shen Peng and Zhao Ci sneaked to Yongzhou a few years ago, and after only four or five months, they were haggard.

Wen Bo and Shen Peng are old acquaintances, but at this time, they are each serving their own masters, and they can't be too eager to meet this time, so it will inevitably be a little embarrassing.

Chen Jingzhou, as a squire of the military department and an envoy on behalf of the imperial court, naturally stood behind the central long case, and after Guo Rong, Wen Bo, Tan Yuliang, Han Donghu, Shen Peng and others sat on the left and right long cases, the guards all withdrew from the hall to prevent the secrets discussed here from leaking out.

More than a dozen newly made glass oil lamps in Xuzhou in the hall illuminated as bright as day, but when it came to the situation in Yongzhou at this time, the atmosphere was inevitably quite depressing.

Although the battle of Hejin was brilliant, the Liang army won the battle under the siege of three sides, and there were many casualties, while the dangerous places in the north of Yongzhou fell into the hands of the enemy, and the predicament faced by the Liang army was not fundamentally improved.

Shen Peng did not shy away from saying: "Shi Jizu's defeat and death is not a bad thing for the Mengwu people, and even Shi Jizu led the troops into Hejin, and the position was too high, my emperor suspected that Wusu Dashi had the intention of killing people with a knife, so he decided to lead his troops into Hejin and hit Shi Jizu's department seriously." The subsequent development of the war also verified the intention of the Mughal people to use Shi Jizu's troops as bait, but they did not expect that our Liang army would move so quickly and decisively, and their encircled soldiers and horses could not cut off our retreat......"

Guo Rong and Chen Jingzhou glanced at each other, of course they could understand that Shi Jizu's defeat actually meant that the power of the Jin clan was completely defeated, and it could also be said that the biggest obstacle for the Mughal people to digest Hedong, Heshuo, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places was eliminated.

Otherwise, on the one hand, the Mengwu people had to use Shi Jizu, Wang Yuankui, Tian Weiye and other subordinate soldiers and horses to rush into battle, but on the other hand, they would inevitably worry that Shi Jizu, Wang Yuankui, and Tian Weiye might be twisted into one force, and at the same time, they could not ignore Shi Jizu's prestige as the prince of Jin among the subjects of the Jin State.

Shi Jizu surrendered to the Mengwu people and led his troops to attack Taiyuan Mansion, and it was even possible that he would be regarded as a helpless move by the subjects of the Jin State.

After all, Shi Jizu was the prince of the Eight Classics before, and he was seized the throne by Shi Chengyuan, the king of Lu, and the battle between him and Shi Chengyuan, the king of Lu, was a life-and-death struggle.

This is still a little different from the surrender of Wang Yuankui and Tian Weiye.

This kind of sentiment breeds among the fallen subjects of the Jin State, and it is of course quite unfavorable for the Muguls to digest the Jin realm and conquer the Central Plains.

As soon as Shi Jizu died, although the offensive of the Mughurs attacking Yongzhou and Huazhou from the north was suspended, the overall situation was more favorable to the Muguls.

Of course, Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang saw that there was an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on an enemy army, but it was impossible not to seize it.

Even if he knew that this was to quench his thirst, the Liang army in Guanzhong needed a hearty victory to boost the sluggish morale and people's hearts a little.

Shen Peng also did not shy away from admitting that the Liang army in Guanzhong was currently facing a critical situation, and had to send people to negotiate peace with Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian, who were also facing a dangerous situation, and even secretly instigated Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian to attack Qinzhou, which was occupied by the Pingxia people.

Qinzhou is located to the west of Feng and Qi Prefectures, and the northern line of Yinping Road is located in the southeast of Qinzhou.

Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian captured Qinzhou, on the one hand, they could expand the living space in the west, and they could scrape more grain and materials to barely maintain the consumption of 70,000 soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, they could master the Yinping Road to bypass Liangzhou and return to Shuzhong.

If they could rely on the entire Guanzhong region, Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian would definitely take advantage of the Chu army's unstable foothold to attack Liangzhou, but in this situation, if Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian could not achieve effective results in counterattacking Liangzhou in two or three months, they would definitely fall into a dilemma, and they would not dare to use troops against Liangzhou easily.

Hearing Shen Peng say that the situation in Guanzhong was extremely complicated, Chen Jingzhou asked hesitantly:

"Is it possible for you to directly recruit Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian to defend Yongzhou, and the main force of the Liang army can return from Tongguan to the east?"

"Someone in Yongzhou mentioned this matter, but His Majesty hesitated and did not agree, mainly worried that Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiao might collude with the Mugwu people again." Shen Peng said.

Hearing Shen Peng say this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

At present, Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian are in Qizhou and Fengzhou, where there is a shortage of grain and grass, and they are cut off by the Chu army to return home, the army is unstable, and the people are panicked.

Reality forced them to make peace with Liang Jun first.

However, Emperor Zhu Yuzhen of Liang wanted to recruit Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian to defend Yongzhou, and after the Liang army went out of Tongguan and re-entered the Central Plains, Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian, who had no foundation in the Guanzhong area, were really likely to surrender to the Mugwus on the back foot.

Even if this is not necessarily the case, the probability is five to five.

This risk is really not something that anyone dares to try lightly.

"Do you need the Right Shenwu Army to be stationed in Luoyu?" Guo Rong asked.

Luoyu is the exit of Luogu on the northern line of Fu Luo Road, located in the south of Yishou County under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and was once the seat of governance of the old Jizhou.

The worst plan Han Qian has made at present is that Wen Bo and Tan Yuliang will lead their troops from Fu Luo Road to the north and join the battle in Guanzhong.

It's just that Fu Luo Road is in disrepair and the road is narrow, and the materials that can be transported into the customs are very limited.

Shen Peng shook his head and said: "Even if you don't directly recruit Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian, you will conclude an alliance with them, if the Right Shenwu Army enters Luoyu in the north, we don't stop it, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian will not become more sensitive - at this time, the military affairs of Liangzhou are led by Li Zhihe and Li Changfeng, you probably decided to give Liangzhou to Li Zhihe a long time ago, right?" ”

Guo Rong nodded, indicating that Tangyi had planned to do so early on.

"Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian did not dare to attack Liangzhou, and the withdrawal of the Right Shenwu Army from Liangzhou in the near future should be the proper meaning of the question, can you secretly help us send 5,000 men and horses to Caizhou?" Shen Peng asked.

Guo Rong, Chen Jingzhou, and Wen Bo glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Shen Peng to be assigned by Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang to make such a request, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
