Chapter 116: The Messenger (II)

"It seems that this Zhang Jun must be doing it in secret!"

Yang Xingmi and the others glanced at each other, and each had a guess. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but Wang Shifan raised troops to crusade against Zhu Quanzhong, which is also a great benefit to Huainan, and the people present naturally will not expose it, but praise it greatly: "Wang Jieshuai is really a model for my generation, and I admire it deeply!" ”

Although Wang Shifan was puzzled by the reason for raising the army, this did not prevent those present from being happy about it. After all, the Pinglu Jiedu envoy still has some strength, and taking advantage of the extreme emptiness of the Central Plains to raise troops, maybe it can really cause some trouble to Zhu Quanzhong, so that there will be a little more time to solve the internal problems in Huainan.

Yang Xingmi was secretly happy: "I don't know when your marshal plans to start the army?" How do you need me to cooperate with Huainan? ”

Yuan Li was overjoyed when he heard Yang Xingmi's questioning, knowing that Yang Xingmi had agreed to form an alliance. Although it is located in the north, he has long heard of Yang Xingmi's reputation for generosity, and knows that this is a "kind person", as long as he agrees, he will definitely not regret it, and his reputation is better than that of the insidious and capricious Zhu Quanzhong and Wang Jian.

As for the recent robbery of Suzhou and Huzhou by Huainan in the two provinces, the two families were originally hostile, so naturally it cannot be said that Yang Xingmi's reputation is not good.

"My marshal said that now Zhu Quanzhong's main force is in Guanzhong, and most of the remaining troops in the Central Plains are stationed in Suzhou, and the troops in the prefectures near Qingzhou are very small, and my Pinglu army is enough to deal with them, I only hope that the king can drag Zhu Youning's troops in Suzhou as much as possible after our army raises troops. As for the time, the big marshal said that it will be soon, probably tomorrow in January! ”

It's the end of November, and it's only a month until January, during which time you have to secretly mobilize troops and contact allies, so it's not a long time.

"The King of Jin has always been at odds with Zhu Quanzhong, since your marshal plans to raise an army to fight against Zhu Quanzhong, I wonder if you have sent an envoy to contact the King of Jin?"

Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong are old enemies, and this person is a bit straight, and he has always been very supportive of those who oppose Zhu Quanzhong, and Li Keyong and Yang Xingmi are also allies, so Yang Xingmi hopes to pull Li Keyong into this "anti-Zhu Quanzhong Alliance".

"The king can rest assured, my family has also heard of the name of King Jin for a long time, and now the envoy to Jinyang should have arrived a long time ago." Yuan Li replied with a smile.

Next, Yang Xingmi inquired about Wang Shifan's plans in detail, and finally said: "If Wang Jieshuai is willing to raise volunteers for the people of the world and save the Tang Dynasty from hanging upside down, his future achievements will be no less than Guo Linggong!" Although I Huainan does not have many troops, it is natural for me to serve the Son of Heaven, as long as the Qingzhou soldiers rise, I Huainan will raise troops to respond! ”

"If the king agrees to this alliance, please also ask the king to write a letter himself, so that I can bring it back to my family."

"Of course, but the messenger has come from afar, and he must be tired, come here, take the messenger down to rest!"

……

After Yuan Li left, several people suddenly laughed heartily in the study.

"Wang, I was still worried just now that Zhu Quanzhong would free up his hands to deal with me Huainan after defeating Li Maozhen, and now that Wang Fan has raised troops, even if he can't take the opportunity to capture Zhongyuan County, it is enough to provoke Zhu Quanzhong and let Zhu Quanzhong transfer his energy to Qingzhou." Gao Mian said with a smile on the side.

Although Wang Shifan's strength is a little weaker, it is not without the strength to fight, even if he can't beat Zhu Quanzhong, but it will take at least half a year for Zhu Quanzhong to completely eliminate him, so that Huainan has a little more time to deal with Tian Yan and others.

"Yes, Wang Fan ignited Zhu Quanzhong's anger, but it is not so easy to calm his anger next." Yan Keqiu also smiled.

Today's Zhu Quanzhong is having the momentum of fighting invincible opponents all over the world, looking around, among the many feudal towns in the world, Li Keyong has long been beaten and injured, Li Maozhen has surrendered, Wang Jian is hiding in Shu and is bent on separating, and Yang Xingmi is far from being an opponent; As for other small feudal towns, they are under Zhu Quanzhong's orders, and even the Son of Heaven and the imperial court are about to fall under Zhu Quanzhong's control.

In this case, Wang Shifan dared to raise troops to touch the fart of Zhu Quanzhong, the big tiger. The stock will definitely die very miserably, but before he dies, he will definitely be able to help Huainan buy time, and it can be regarded as "deserved".

"Order, let Li Yan come to see me!" Yang Xingmi remembered his previous guess and hurriedly sent someone to call Li Yan for questioning.

Li Yan is Zhang Jun's third son and Zhang Ge's younger brother, perhaps he knows the reason for this incident better. During this time, Yang Xingmi was also very polite to Li Yan and placed him in the Imperial Court as the representative of the Son of Heaven.

After Li Yan arrived, he did not hide it, and told in detail the process of Zhang Jun's intention to provoke Wang Fan to raise troops, and everyone present couldn't help but be grateful to Zhang Jun who was far away in Changshui.

"The Son of Heaven is in trouble, my father is worried that Zhu Quanzhong will kill the monarch and stand on his own, so he planned this matter, and asked the king to raise troops to respond when the time comes!" Li Yan finally bowed to the ground and pleaded.

He himself actually doesn't have much affection for the Son of Heaven, but since his father wants to serve the Son of Heaven, he naturally has to help speak.

"You can rest assured that Zhu Quanzhong was a wolf with ambition, he was a thief in the Yellow Nest back then, and even if he surrendered to the court later, he was still a traitor in essence; If today's son and the court are about to fall into the hands of this thief, Lone is deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, so naturally he can't sit idly by! ”

"Lone has decided that when Wang Shifan raises troops in January next year, Lone will also raise troops to fight against Zhu Quanzhong!"

******

In Jinyang, after hearing that Wang Shifan planned to raise troops to attack Zhu Quanzhong, Li Keyong, the king of Jin, was also very excited, and immediately promised to raise troops to respond, but after Wang Shifan's envoy left, he quickly calmed down.

Today's Li Keyong is no longer the brave and impatient "Li Ya'er" of the year, at this time, after so many years of ups and downs, he has long known that he should hide clumsy when he should hide his clumsy, and shrink his head when he should shrink his head, rather than blindly tough.

More than ten years ago, Li Keyong was still the most powerful feudal town force at that time, but he was impatient and often emotional, and as a result, he offended too many feudal towns and made a mess in diplomacy; And his old enemy Zhu Quanzhong is located in the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, but with good diplomatic means, he has become stronger and stronger, and now he has completely suppressed Hedong.

In March this year, the Hedong Army was defeated in Puxian when it attacked Jinzhou and Jiangzhou, while Zhu Quanzhong's army took advantage of the victory to capture Fen, Ci, and Xizhou, and besieged Jinyang. If it weren't for his luck, it happened that Zhu Quanzhong's army was forced to retreat due to a plague, and it was difficult to say whether Jinyang would be able to hold on next.

However, although Zhu Quanzhong's army retreated, the losses of Li Keyong's side were also very huge, and he knew that this was not the time to challenge Zhu Quanzhong again, so he was not interested in Wang Shifan's army in the future.

"When the time comes, let's send a branch teacher to take a look!" Lick thought to himself.
