Yang Xingmi's sudden announcement of the patrol not only shocked the officials in Huainan, but even Yang Wu did not have the slightest preparation, and only got the news when Yang Xingmi suddenly announced it at the public meeting, but at that time the preparations for the patrol had already been completed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

According to the arrangement, this time, except for the secretary in charge Yin Wengui and a few other staff members who will accompany Yang Xingmi on patrol, the rest of the high-level Huainan officials, including Yan Keqiu, have been left behind to assist Yang Wu in handling official business.

In terms of escort arrangements, in addition to the 1,000 pro-army led by the pro-army general Yuan Zhi, the general Zhou Ben will also lead 5,000 people to accompany him. In addition, after Yang Wu learned of the patrol plan, because he was not at ease, he asked Hou Zan to lead a thousand cavalry to accompany the guard.

Before leaving, Yang Xingmi said to Yang Wu with a smile that since he returned from the expedition to Suzhou in June last year, he had always wanted to go around for a cruise, but since then, because Yang Wu has been fighting outside, in order to ensure the stability of the rear, he can only stay in the Jiedu Embassy Mansion all the time, and he feels that he is about to get sick.

Now that Yang Wu has finally grown up and can handle Huainan affairs alone, he has to go out to cruise easily.

The words were very casual, but Yang Wu was deeply moved, knowing that Yang Xingmi was definitely not going to play and relax this time.

Now the situation in Huainan is a little delicate, the Jiedu Embassy has not directly announced the separation of military and government, and the assassins in various places have not reacted, obviously they are still waiting.

Yang Xingmi chose to inspect various places at this time, obviously to indirectly express his attitude, and at the same time, he was also able to personally talk to the assassins in various places, so that they could take the initiative to choose to support the policy of separating the military from the government.

Of course, directly summoning the assassins from all over the country to Guangling can also achieve these goals, so Yang Xingmi chose to patrol various places for another purpose, that is, to leave Yang Wu to deal with the government and further establish his authority.

On this trip, Yang Xingmi set his first destination in Chuzhou, through which he was going to his hometown of Luzhou, where he would meet Liu Wei, the assassin of Luzhou, who had a deep prestige in Huainan.

After Yang Xingmi left, Yang Wu also began to deal with government affairs with the assistance of Yan Keqiu, Luo Zhixiang and others.

The most important thing in Huainan today is the two wars that are being experienced at the same time, fortunately, one of them happened in Qingzhou, and its grain and grass are all in charge of Wang Shifan by Pinglu Jiedu, and there are not many affairs that need to be asked about in Huainan.

There is only another war, Li Shenfu's Western Expeditionary Army, and its logistics support needs to be met by the Jiedu Embassy at any time, so the things that Yang Wu has to deal with are mainly this matter.

Since the expedition to the west again in June, now the western expeditionary army led by Li Shenfu has once again surrounded the city of Ezhou, and the Wuchang festival in the city makes Du Hong unable to resist, so he has to ask Zhu Quanzhong for help.

And Zhu Quanzhong was temporarily dragged by Wang Shifan because the main force was dragged, so on the one hand, he sent an army of 10,000 people to reinforce, and on the other hand, as the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, he issued orders to several feudal towns in the Jingxiang area, asking them to join forces to send troops to Ezhou to drive out the Huainan army.

Among the many current feudal towns in Jingxiang, the more powerful ones are Jingnan Jiedu envoy Cheng Wei, Wu'an Jiedu envoy Ma Yin, and Wuzhen Jiedu envoy Lei Yanwei.

Among the three feudal towns, the strength of Chengwei centered on Gangneung was the strongest among them. He has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, many good generals, and once had a fierce war with Wang Jian, the king of Shu, for Dongchuan, until now Dongchuan is still in his hands.

However, what Cheng Wei is most proud of is his navy, with thousands of warships, many of which are newly built giant warships. A long time ago, Cheng Wei had the idea of going down the river to fight with Huainan, so after receiving Zhu Quanzhong's order, he immediately sent people to several other feudal towns to seek alliances, and finally reached an alliance with Lei Yanwei and Ma Yin to send troops together.

So Cheng Wei, who was full of interest, couldn't wait to raise an army of 100,000 and rode the giant ship of the Navy Division to the east to fight Li Shenfu.

Little did he know that not long after he had marched eastward, two of his allies had joined forces to betray him.

Lei Yanwei and Ma Yin are not good at stubble, among them, Lei Yanwei is a standard bandit who specializes in robbing his family in Wuling, while Ma Yin is the old department of Sun Rujun.

Both of these families have been at war with Cheng Wei for many years, and they have many grudges, and after Cheng Wei raised troops to advance eastward this time, the rear will inevitably be a little empty. When Lei Yanwei and Ma Yin saw the opportunity, they immediately formed an alliance and prepared to send troops to launch a surprise attack on Jiangling.

In mid-July, the first good news came from Qingzhou, Wang Maozhang led the army to defeat Zhu Youning outside Qingzhou.

As Yang Wu analyzed at the beginning, Zhu Youning's army looked like a rainbow, but in fact, it was already at the end of the crossbow.

After Wang Maozhang arrived in Qingzhou, he set up a camp outside the city, and Wang Shifan also sent people out of the city to set up a camp and formed a corner with Wang Maozhang.

Zhu Youning saw that Wang Maozhang's army was in strict order and the weather was strict, and the situation of the Qingzhou soldiers on the side was much worse, so he decided to attack the camp of the Qingzhou army first.

Zhu You's order continued to attack, and the Qingzhou army was defeated and retreated, and Wang Shifan asked Wang Maozhang to send troops to rescue him many times, but he refused.

The next day, Wang Maozhang estimated that Zhu Youning's army, which had been fighting all day, should be completely exhausted by this time, so he sent troops to attack quickly, and the enemy army was defeated. Zhu Youning himself was killed because his mount stumbled and fell off his horse.

Wang Maozhang then led the two coalition forces to chase all the way behind, and finally caught up with the enemy on the bank of the Mi River, and after a great battle, he won a big victory again, killing tens of thousands of enemy troops.

After the news reached Guangling, the Jiedu envoy was cheering. And those who had heard of Yang Wu's analysis of the battle situation at the beginning also bowed to Yang Wu at this time.

A few days later, there was also good news from Li Shenfu's side.

After Cheng Wei led his army eastward, Li Shenfu also learned the news, so he led the naval army to fight, and the two sides met at Junshan in Dongting Lake.

Li Shenfu personally took a small boat to observe the enemy's formation, and found that although the battleships of the Cheng Wei army were numerous and powerful, their formation was not in order, and it was difficult to take care of each other, so he decided to send troops to attack urgently.

On the same day, Zhu Siqing and Li Shenfu's subordinate Yang Cheng led more than 8,000 people to launch a fierce attack, and defeated the Chengwei army with the method of fire attack.

At the same time, the combined forces of Lei Yanwei and Ma Yin raided Chengxi's old nest Jiangling, and after a lot of looting, the prosperous town of Jingxiang was burned to the ground.

Cheng Wei, who got the news, finally committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake in despair. And the 100,000 troops under his command were wiped out.

At this point, the situation in Jingxiang changed greatly with the collapse of the strongest feudal town in Jingxiang, and Ma Yin, a force that was not strong before, also increased in strength because of the robbery in the process, and later became a fierce rival of Huainan.

At the same time, the victory of the two great wars also pushed the authority of the government to the extreme, and the internal situation in Huainan also changed.
