"I heard that Yang Xingmi is dead, and now Huainan is in charge of Yang Wu. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Gu plans to lead the army to take advantage of the situation to crusade against Huainan, what do you think? ”

When Yang Wu had a headache about the lack of horses in Huainan, in the city of Bianzhou, Zhu Quanzhong stroked the beard that had begun to turn white under his chin and asked his advisers.

With the power of leveling Zhao Kuangning and expanding thousands of miles of land within a month last year, Zhu Quanzhong can be described as infinitely beautiful in this year.

Externally, as the news of Zhao Kuangning's extermination spread, the combined forces of Yang Chongben and Li Maozhen immediately returned to Fengxiang in fright, although they did not give in to Zhu Quanzhong, but they did not dare to attack the east again in this year, for fear of attracting another blow from Zhu Quanzhong.

With the withdrawal of Li Maozhen and Yang Chongben, the Shu army, which had just left from Chengdu and had not had time to go to Guanzhong to join Li Maozhen and Yang Chongben, also withdrew.

Wang Jian was originally remote, and there was Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, in the middle, and Zhu Quanzhong's threat to him was not too big, so Wang Jian was not very interested in crusading against Zhu Quanzhong, and now that Li Maozhen and Yang Chongben had withdrawn their troops, he naturally withdrew.

And Huainan Yang Xingmi had just eliminated Qian Biao, and now he needed to recuperate, so he naturally had no intention of going north to fight Zhu Quanzhong.

As for Li Keyong, the king of Jin, since Jinyang was surrounded by the Liang army twice, Li Keyong was very frustrated, and even wanted to give up Jinyang and return to Yunzhou for a while, but although he persevered under the persuasion of the generals, the power of the king of Jin also declined greatly.

Now, after three years of recovery, the Jin army has begun to regroup, but it is still far from fighting Zhu Quanzhong.

Therefore, when the other feudal towns were either wiped out, or frightened back, or simply stood still, Li Keyong did not plan to send troops alone to attack Zhu Quanzhong, otherwise it would be worth the loss if Zhu Quanzhong went north to attack him again.

As a result, under the prestige of Zhu Quanzhong, many feudal towns chose to retreat, and the huge "alliance against Zhu Quanzhong" ended before it began.

As soon as the external pressure was gone, Zhu Quanzhong took advantage of this power to take advantage of the opportunity to vigorously attack those pro-Tang forces in the DPRK.

In April, many of Li Ye's princes were drunk and killed, and their bodies were thrown into Jiuquchi; In June, Li Zhenjian said that the ministers of the DPRK and China often claimed that they should be killed and thrown into the Yellow River to make it a turbid stream, and Zhu Quanzhong laughed at it.

By this time, the entire court had been completely controlled by him, and his eyes had begun to turn outward again, and he was ready to take Huainan as the next target.

However, as soon as his words fell, Jing Xiang stood up and objected: "King, at this time, the subordinates think that it is impossible to crusade against Huainan!" ”

Zhu Quanzhong was a little disliked, but Jing Xiang was his confidant after all, so he still asked, "Mr. Jing thinks it's inappropriate?" ”

Jing Xiang realized that what he said just now was too direct, and he brushed Zhu Quanzhong's face a little, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates just feel that now is not the best time to crusade against Huainan!" ”

"Why isn't it the best time now? Now Yang Xingmi is dead, and Yang Wu has succeeded to the throne. Even if this Yang Wu has some ability, but he is not even twenty years old after all, how can those generals in Huainan be convinced? Li Zhen stood up against it, he turned to Zhu Quanzhong and said, "King, my subordinates feel that it is the right time to crusade against Huainan at this time!" ”

In the past year, Yang Xingmi has rarely appeared in Huainan, and even if he appears, only a very small number of high-level officials in Huainan know about it, and the news that Yang Xingmi was seriously ill last year also leaked out, so Zhu Quanzhong's spies in Guangling thought that Yang Xingmi had died of illness, and hurriedly passed the news to Zhu Quanzhong.

At the beginning, Qian Biao was assassinated once, and he did not appear in public for the next two months, but Yang Xingmi mistakenly thought that Qian Biao was dead, and hurriedly sent Li Shenfu to crusade.

The distance from Guangling to Bianzhou is much farther, and Yang Xingmi has not appeared in public for a longer time, so Zhu Quanzhong did not doubt this news.

In addition, there are many clues that Yang Xingmi was seriously ill last year can be found; More importantly, Zhu Quanzhong thought that if Yang Xingmi was still alive, he would not be able to suddenly hand over the power to Yang Wu, but he retreated into the background. At least Zhu Quanzhong himself could not do this.

Therefore, this lot of information finally made Zhu Quanzhong sure that Yang Xingmi was dead, and even Jingxiang did not doubt it.

As for why there has been no news from Huainan until now, Zhu Quanzhong thinks that it is likely that Yang Wu is worried that the news of Yang Xingmi's death may cause turmoil, so he chose not to mourn.

Now that Yang Xingmi is dead and Yang Wu takes over, no matter how capable he is, there should be many people who secretly oppose Zhu Quanzhong when he wants to come to Huainan; At least Yang Wu shouldn't be able to make Huainan work together like Yang Xingmi.

On Zhu Quanzhong's side, now that there is no external pressure, and the internal constraints have been basically eliminated, it is a good time to use troops externally and gradually flatten the feudal towns, so he naturally will not miss this opportunity to avenge the revenge of clearing his mouth back then.

"Not so! Although Yang Xingmi is dead, Yang Wu is also a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, not those who are incompetent; Huainan may not be able to work together as much as Yang Xingmi, but for them, the king is their common enemy. Therefore, the king crusaded at this time, even if Huainan secretly opposed Yang Wu, they would unite under the pressure of the king's army! Therefore, the subordinates feel that they should continue to wait and see at this time. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "How can Mr. Jing be sure that Huainan will unite and resist in the face of the pressure of our army, instead of surrendering to the wind?" ”

Jing Xiang said: "How Huainan will choose, I can't be sure in the next place." However, Yang Xingmi has always been known for his benevolence, and most of the generals in Huainan felt his kindness, and Yang Wu was not a person without virtue, so it was not possible for Huainan to surrender to the king one after another. ”

"What's more," Jing Xiang continued, "In last year's war, the king wiped out the two feudal towns (Shannan Dongdao and Jingnan) within a month, and the world was shocked, so there was a situation in which all the feudal towns of all parties bowed down in the next year. Therefore, his subordinates feel that the current trend should try to maintain this momentum. And the best way to maintain this momentum is to keep winning! ”

"Huainan is the strongest in the world, and he has recently exterminated Qian Biao, and his momentum is flourishing, even if Yang Xingmi is dead, with Yang Wu here, it will be difficult for the king to eliminate him; If there is any accident, it will lose the prestige that was built up with great difficulty in last year's war. ”

"When the time comes, those feudal towns that have bowed down to the king in the past year will also jump out against you again!"

Jing Xiang knew that what Zhu Quanzhong had done in the past year was really hateful, and now the major feudal towns did not dare to jump out, just because they were shocked by the amazing achievements of the Liang army in the First World War last year.

And at this time, if the war does not go well, then all kinds of dissatisfaction that was forcibly suppressed by Zhu Quanzhong's power before will jump out.

Hearing Jing Xiang's words, Zhu Quanzhong couldn't help but be a little shaken, Li Zhen saw it and hurriedly said: "Mr. Jing's words are wrong, those feudal towns are all outlaws, and they have always disobeyed the king, if they want to stand up against the king, how can they be frightened by the king's might?" Three years ago, the king surrounded Li Maozhen in Fengxiang City for more than a year, and finally forced Li Maozhen to hand over the Son of Heaven to surrender, isn't this kind of power enough? But in the second year, Li Maozhen didn't jump out against the king. ”

"As for saying that Huainan is united from top to bottom, it is difficult to eliminate, the king, in the opinion of his subordinates, how can there be so many easy things in this world? Huainan is difficult to eliminate, but it is man-made, if you don't try, how do you know if you can succeed? Li Zhen said angrily, his words were passionate, and even Jing Xiang was a little moved when he heard it.

Zhu Quanzhong laughed even more: "Yes, that's right, there are not so many easy things in the world, things are man-made!" Lone decided to ......"

He looked at the crowd: "The various departments have begun to assemble, and Lone is ready to personally lead the army to attack Huainan!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Quanzhong had already made a decision, Jing Xiang no longer persuaded him.

After leaving the place of discussion, Jing Xiang stopped Li Zhen and asked him: "Brother Li, I know that you hate the injustice of the imperial imperial examination, so you use various methods to attack the court officials, or persuade the king to kill the important ministers of the court, these are nothing; But after all, Huainan is a powerful domain in the world, and there are many rivers in the south, which is not conducive to the battle of our northern army, which was the case in the past Qingkou First Battle. ”

"In addition, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, has been a strong rival of the king for many years, and now although his power has declined, after three years of recuperation, his strength has recovered a lot. Moreover, Huainan lacks horses, and can only protect itself by relying on the rivers in the south, and it is not necessary to worry about it in the north; In contrast, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, is the king's enemy of life and death! ”

"Now you ignore Li Ke's life and death enemy, but persuade the king to raise troops to the south again, once the war is unfavorable, all the feudal towns take the opportunity to raise troops to attack, how to deal with it then?"

Li Zhen sneered: "Although the waterways in the south are not conducive to my northerners, the land of Jianghuai may not be impossible to attack; And once the states of Jiangbei are captured, not only can they greatly deter the major feudal towns, but the rich land of Jiangbei can greatly expand our strength, such a good thing, why does Mr. Jing always oppose it? Isn't it that you are afraid of Huai people in your heart? ”

After that, Li Zhenyi flicked his sleeves and left.

Behind him, Jing Xiang looked at Li Zhen's departing back, and was a little speechless for a while.

"Alas, I only hope that the king's southward journey will be smooth and profitable this time, otherwise, the day when all feudal towns will raise troops against the king is not far off!"

He didn't know that after Li Zhen said goodbye to him, he returned to Zhu Quanzhong.

"The king leads a large army to the south, and if there is no steady person in the rear, I am afraid that there will be some chaos. Therefore, the subordinates felt that Mr. Jing could stay in Bianzhou to supervise the logistics of the army's grain and grass, so that the king could rest assured that he would fight with the Huainan thieves! ”

Zhu Quanzhong thought for a moment and then said happily: "What you said is right, then let him stay!" ”
