"I really didn't expect that the dignified Liang Tianzi would have such a face, it's disgusting!"

"Liang Guo has the assistance of the Chengdao faction, and the Chengdao faction is the only horse leader of Liang Tianzi, so everything the Chengdao faction does is for the benefit of Liang Guo. This is also the reason why I suppressed the Chengdao faction when I was the prime minister, which made profits for the Liang State and could not hesitate to harm the interests of all the princes, so it was deeply hated. ”

"Yes...... Bai Liyan felt the same way: "More than ten years ago, in the battle of Yongxinghe, An Taihou came to lobby and persuade our king to contain the main force of the rebels on the eastern front, so that the Liang State could avoid the war, and the Guang Shuzi of the Chengdao faction also came to the Lingling to offer advice, all of which were for the benefit of the Liang State.

At that time, the situation forced me to do so. Now that the Xian State has risen strongly, the Liang State is not only grateful to our king, but also harms the Xian State, which is really shameful! ”

"Diplomatic relations are all related to profit, and the Chengdao faction respects the Liang State as orthodoxy, and uses the status of the Liang State to impose vertical and horizontal discord on the princes of the lower state, so as to make profits left and right. The Black Turban Army attacked the Liang State in order to destroy the Liang State and eliminate the Chengdao faction, so as not to suffer its scourge. Who would have thought that at the critical moment, Yongxing Houbei returned to the Central Plains, and also sent troops and horses to the Liang State, which caused the situation to change greatly, and it was impossible to destroy Liang. ”

"Then the black scarf has added four heavenly kings, what is the matter?" Bai Liyan asked.

"There are thirty-two counties and counties in the Sun country, in addition to the capital of Sun Guo, the remaining thirty-one counties and counties need to be guarded, and at that time, the Wei Guo and the Liang State will march from west to east, and the Black Turban Army will withdraw from the county one by one, so that every two counties in the future will have a heavenly king to guard."

"I say, the twelve kings are already a mess, and now there are four more, if there is no great profit to share the spoils, how can there be four more. Then you led the army eastward this time, but you came to extinguish the Xian army and the Zhi army. ”

"Yes, when the sect master negotiated with the Foolish Sect, he transferred me to the Eastern Front in the name of repelling the Xian army and the Zhi army."

"Then when you became the Heavenly King, you didn't attract the attention of the Foolish Sect?"

"Not really. I have faded out of the core for more than ten years, and there are not many people who recognize me in the eloquent way. Moreover, the Eloquent Daoist and the Foolish Sect each have their own intelligence networks, so there are many people in the Foolish Sect who know me, but those who know me do not. ”

"I said, you have lost news for almost a year, and you don't even have a shadow, it turns out that you have sat on the king of heaven. But now that you are rebellious, aren't you passive, what should you do with the families of these soldiers? ”

"You can rest assured that after the foolish faction made peace with the Wei Guo and the Liang State secretly, a large number of military attachΓ©s of their own faction were transferred openly or covertly, and the male argument will not be controlled by others, more than a year ago, they also successively passed the generals and their families to the territory controlled by our faction, and after a year, in fact, the two factions did not have many hostages in their hands."

"In this way, the two factions have long since split up for their own interests!"

"Pretty much."

"But since the family has been separated, why didn't it get to the point of tearing your face?"

"Hehe......" Gongsun Yue smiled helplessly: "The Foolish Sect has been planning for many years, and quietly transferred the soldiers and horses of the Foolish Dao to the outer line, and the Foolish Sect sent the soldiers and horses to the inner line. Therefore, the southeast and southern fronts, where the fighting was most intense, were all eloquent, while the war on the western and northern fronts eased up, and they were all foolish about sending troops and horses.

Last year, the Xianjun and the Zhi army broke through Pengyuan, and the troops entered Xiaguan and Changyin, and attacked the territory of the supernatural powers. ”

"Hmph, play around, play with your own people. More than ten years ago, I said that the Black Turban Army would never become a climate, and now it has come true. But if you are so contrary now, what will you do with it? ”

"Chitose and Long Yuan are secretly making peace with Zhiguo and Gongliangjun, once the foolish faction reaches the final conditions with Wei Guo and Liang Guo, all forces will be pressed to the eastern front, and our faction will not have any benefit at that time, so it is most advantageous to make peace with Zhiguo."

"So, Wei Guo, Liang Guo and the Foolish Sect have not yet negotiated the conditions?"

"It is precisely that after Wei Guo eats all the counties of Sun State, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the vassal states. Therefore, the Black Turban Army was needed to defeat all the countries of the Central Plains. In this way, after the country eats the country, the countries of the Central Plains will not be able to join forces to attack the country in a short time.

However, such a price is too great, so the foolish faction wants to exchange the conditions of the defense of the country and the Liang state at the smallest price, so they want to use the weakness of our faction and the old feud between the defense of the country to force our faction to send the east to take the lead. Therefore, the main subordinates and children of the Dao took this opportunity to move to the eastern counties in the name of supervising the war, and only the suzerain and a few elders and children remained in the divine capital. ”

"I see, no wonder Chitose and Long Yuan are so bold and reckless in releasing water in the southeast, it turns out that there is such an inside story, and even the royal guests don't know about it. But since you have made peace on the Eastern Front, do the fools know? ”

"I know what can I do, the two factions have no means to check and balance each other in their hands, each has its own territory, how can there be a reason that they are only allowed to make peace, and there is no need for us to save themselves, and the battle line is so long, it is difficult for them to control our army.

However, the grain and grass have always been in the hands of the foolish faction, and the Eastern Front has to supply the grain and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, and it is difficult to completely get rid of their control. In addition, hundreds of thousands of horses mutinied overnight, how to take over will be extremely troublesome, just the supply of grain and grass, at least 3 million stone per year, and the resettlement is a large expense, so this matter is simple and difficult. ”

"What you said is very true...... Bai Liyan sighed helplessly, feeling deeply about this, and then he immediately said: "This marshal collected 40,000 or 50,000 prisoners last month, plus the recently surrendered people's army and people's husbands, a total of more than 60,000 people, the placement of soldiers can still be reduced to the people, and the placement of military attaches is the most important.

They did not want to lose their military power, nor did they want to lose their gold and silver, so that the soldiers could not be dismantled, and the state treasury had to pay for a large supply of grain and grass, which was extremely expensive.

At present, there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people, and if this continues to develop, in the future, there will be less than 200,000 or 300,000 people, or even more. How to place and cut power is a huge problem. ”

At the beginning of Bailiyan's recruitment and rebellion, he only thought of speeding up the process of the war, but the consequences were simple.

These military attachΓ©s who have surrendered to Cheng will not easily give up the military power in their hands, and while holding the benefits, they will eat military rations, and the total number will soon be equal to that of the Xian army, and for such a small country as Xianguo, even if there is no need to pay military salaries, it is simply unrealistic to maintain an army of seven or eight hundred thousand.

The consumption of grain and grass is only one aspect, and the retention of a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in the army will not help the development of industry and agriculture, and how to deal with these redundant establishments after the war will become a thorny problem.

On the night of the same day, skirmishes broke out one after another, with tens to hundreds of people, but they were quickly suppressed under the disposal of Mo Yunfeng, Li Jian and others.

In view of this, after discussing with Gongsun Yue, Bailiyan successively summoned the commanders of each army and battalion in eight batches, rewarded them with heavy money to settle their hearts, and at the same time put Wang Tianshi and his rebel generals on Huang Che's warship to cut off future troubles.

The next day, Gongsun Yue continued to march north with the army in the name of King Yintian, but did not immediately announce to the whole army that it was anyway, and only spread at the two levels of the commander and the commander of ten thousand.

First, the impact will be minimized, and second, while the news has not yet spread, it may not be impossible to take over the two counties of Dekang and Yuanshan as soon as possible, and even continue to expand westward.

The grain and grass of the three departments of Shentong, Shengyan, and Thunder will be supported for more than forty or fifty days at most, and after twenty days at the latest, Shentong must leave enough time for one month to retreat north, and retreat westward through the Changsun Kingdom to obtain grain and grass, otherwise he will starve to death on the road.

As soon as the supernatural power was withdrawn, the situation in Ganfu, Shangguan, Xiaguan, and Wanchuan was reversed, and the Xian army was effortless and easy to take.

Of course, if Shentong risks running out of food and delays the summer harvest until mid-July, there may be a turnaround, but the result is not much better.

Not to mention the withering of the people's strength in various places, the planting area is not as good as before, and the military rations that can be collected are extremely limited, and if they are taken as much as possible, millions of people will starve to death.

Secondly, they are unable to harvest crops and dry them in storage, and Shentong can't wait for the rice to be stored and transported to various places, and the grain and grass will be cut off, and the risk is higher than the benefit.

It took only three days for Li Jian's front army to reach the south bank of the Biqing River, and they arrived at the Biqing River one day ahead of the brigade, and moved the grain and grass on the north bank to the south bank by transfer boats.

At this critical moment, there were few Xian soldiers and many rebel soldiers, which was not enough to suppress him, and he was not completely at ease with Gongsun Yue, only by controlling grain and grass could he control the rebel activities.

Of course, it is still possible to manage the full food at every meal, and at this time, it is obvious that the deduction of military rations will do far more harm than good.

Not long after Li Jianbu arrived, Xiaolianzi looked for Zhou Kong in a panic, and when he heard the news, Zhou Kong was shocked as if he was in a dream:

"What, 200,000 people have surrendered to Bailiyan!"

"Yes, yes, Huang Che's ships are all transporting grain to them, it can't be that Huang Che has changed his mind again."

"It can't be. Who Huang Che is, I don't know, he just took the money and ran away, and he won't repeat. ”

"However, it is incredible that these 200,000 people can be easily dropped. If this continues, the other rebels will not be recruited. ”

Xiaolianzi was incoherent, and Zhou Kong calmed down and said:

"Let's go, go find Huang Che."

"Oh......"

Hurriedly came to the river, and saw Huang Che talking to Jiang Jie, Zhou Kong stepped forward to ask three steps and two steps:

"General Huang Che, what is the bottom line, how can 200,000 horses easily descend Baili Yan, it can't be that Baili Yan fell for the trick of the Yin Heavenly King."

Huang Che laughed:

"Hehaha...... It's still the deputy marshal's clever means, what is going on, I don't know Lao Huang, but it seems that the rebels have surrendered, and they have also captured the Heavenly Master and the Holy Commander and others, and now 200,000 horses are all in the hands of the deputy marshal. ”

"It's... How is this possible? That's 200,000 horses, not 200,000 pigs! ”

Zhou Kong stared at him in disbelief, and looked at Jiang Jie sharply, Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows and thought badly, and immediately took two steps back to deal with it:

"Hehe......"

"What a smile, a face of adultery. said, what's going on, didn't Bailiyan know about it! ”

"Huh...... General Zhou should not embarrass the last general, this matter is really not easy to say. ”

"Phew! Baili Yan will do his best to use some indiscriminate methods, if he hadn't had a treacherous plot earlier, how could he kidnap 200,000 horses! Bailiyan, where is he, I want to ask him personally! ”

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye is still on the way, and he will arrive tomorrow."

"Go, bring Bailiyan and your horse to Ben General, Ben will ask in person!"

"Ah, that's not good."

Jiang Jie politely refused, Zhou Kong's face sank, and his tone was aggressive:

"You don't take it, Xiaolianzi!"

"In!"

"Go, bring Bailiyan's BMW, let's ride majestic!"

"Oh, okay."

Xiaolianzi happily led people to lead the horse, and Jiang Jie was busy to stop:

"General Zhou, Fei Yu is Hou Ye's BMW, if Hou Ye knows, he will definitely be angry with the general."

"Hmph, robbed 200,000 people's horses, he Bailiyan is not afraid of retribution, this general rode his horse, he is still reasonable! Get out of the way and go. Huang Che! ”

Huang Che's scalp was numb, and he responded carefully:

"Eh, what advice does General Zhou have?"

"Prepare a boat, and carry the book to cross the river."

"Oh... Hiss...... This is not allowed by the deputy marshal's military order, and it is not good for General Zhou to leave his post without permission. ”

Huang Che shirked, rubbing his hands uneasily, and the next moment he received Zhou Kong's cold eyes:

"Are you going or not?"

Huang Che's heart was furious, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that Bailiyan had accepted Zhou Kong as his wife, and now that he had offended her, he would not have a good life in the future, so he had to reluctantly agree, get a big boat, and take Zhou Kong and others across the river.
