After hearing that Guo Chongtao, the envoy sent by Huainan, was left behind, Li Keyong suddenly burst into a rage and scolded.

It's no wonder he was so angry, the three thousand elite cavalry led by Li Chengsi and Shi Yan were detained by Yang Xingmi, and Li Keyong was also very angry, but for the purpose of jointly dealing with Zhu Quanzhong, and the choice made by the two of them when the road was cut off, Li Keyong endured the original breath.

However, this time the envoys sent were all retained by Huainan, which made it difficult for Li Keyong to accept.

Although it is said that Guo Chongtao is just a small person around him and is not valued by him, how can he say that it is also his cronies, representing his face, and he was taken in by Huainan like this, what is going on?

After Li Keyong, who was furious, heard that Huainan had also sent an envoy to pay a return visit, he immediately prepared to detain Huainan's envoy as well.

Fortunately, the messenger sent by Yang Wu quickly conveyed his meaning, and Li Ke used this to ponder.

"Use the manufacturing technology of Suzhou artillery to exchange Guo Chongtao's family and send troops to attack Luzhou?" Both of these conditions seem to be good for Li Keyong, not bad.

Guo Chongtao is just a dispensable small role in his eyes, and he is not worthy of his attention, if Huainan is willing to exchange the manufacturing technology of Suzhou cannon for his family, Li Keyong is certainly willing.

The fame of Suzhou cannon is as follows: Which of the major feudal towns today does not know, which one does not know? This is the first weapon to attack the city and pull out the village, and it has made great contributions to the Huainan Army's eastward expedition to the west over the years; Moreover, I heard that the Liang army already had the Suzhou cannon at this time, and if the Jin army did not have it, it would definitely suffer a loss when fighting it in the future.

The Jin army has more cavalry, and they are not very worried about the Liang army in field warfare, but because of the lack of siege means, it has always been their shortcoming in siege, and now there is the manufacturing technology of the Suzhou cannon provided by Huainan, this last shortcoming has also been replenished, so how terrible will the combat effectiveness of the Jin army be?

As for the condition of sending troops to Luzhou, in fact, after the news of the Huainan Expedition came, many generals proposed a plan to send troops to Luzhou to respond to Huainan, but at that time, Li Keyong was worried that he would be attacked by the Liang army at the earliest, so he chose to continue to wait for the opportunity.

After Li Maozhen and Yang Chongben's coalition troops dispatched, he felt that the time had come and was also ready to attack.

Who knew that Li Maozhen and Yang Chongben were too useless, and they were defeated by Liu Zhijun's 5,000 people, and Zhu Quanzhong's main force didn't even use it much.

Li Keyong had no choice but to mobilize the army, and only sent Li Sizhao to lead 3,000 cavalry to attack Xingzhou as a test, but was defeated by Niu Cunjie, the commander of Xingzhou's regiment.

After Huainan and the Liang army held each other in Suzhou for a long time, neither side could help the other, and Li Keyong once again planned to take the opportunity to send troops.

And the target he chose to attack was Luzhou, but it was delayed for various reasons. Now that Huainan Jun has made this request, this is just a matter of pushing the boat smoothly for Li Keyong, so he does not feel embarrassed.

At this time, new news came: the Huainan army took advantage of the rebellion of Shi Ren, the general of Wei Bo's army, and quickly sent troops north, defeated the Liang army at the junction of Xiayi County and Yongcheng County, and killed and captured nearly 40,000 Liang troops!

Hearing this, Li Keyong was extremely shocked at first, but then he became ecstatic.

40,000 elite Liang troops, this is not a small number.

In recent years, Zhu Quanzhong has conquered the east and west, and he has been powering the world, relying on the 200,000 elite troops in his hands who have fought for many years.

Relying on these armies, Zhu Quanzhong has attacked Li Keyong in the north in recent years, Li Maozhen in the west, Zhao Kuangning in Nanping, and Wang Shifan in the east.

In comparison, except for Huainan, the mobile troops of the other feudal towns are less than 100,000!

But in the past six months, he first lost nearly 60,000 troops in the two battles of Haozhou and Wangjiadukou south of the Huai River, and then lost more than 10,000 troops in the Battle of Suzhou, plus nearly 10,000 Li Si'an's troops killed by the Wei Bo Army's rebellion this time, and the 40,000 people who were wiped out by the Huainan Army just after getting the news, Zhu Quanzhong's 200,000 mobile troops were wiped out 120,000!

The remaining forces were still held back by Huainan: part of them were led by Yang Shihou to confront Li Chengsi in Yingzhou, and the rest had to stay in Bianzhou to control the overall situation to prevent the Huainan army from going north again.

"This is the best time to counterattack Zhu Quanzhong!" In an instant, Li Keyong understood that perhaps the hope of revenge that he had waited for twenty years and had almost given up had come.

"Five days later, General Gu will send a large army south to attack Luzhou!" Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ke announced his decision to the generals of Hedong in a loud voice, and at the same time, he naturally happily agreed to the conditions proposed by the envoy of Huainan, and even his attitude towards the envoy was instantly much more enthusiastic, and he personally asked him about the physical condition of Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu, and various news about Yang Wu.

Soon, in accordance with the agreement between the two parties, Guo Chongtao's family accompanied the Huainan envoy to the south, and the two Huainan craftsmen who came with the envoy stayed behind to teach Hedong to make Suzhou cannons.

Five days later, Li Keyong really sent the generals Zhou Dewei and Li Sizhao to lead an army of 20,000 to attack Luzhou in accordance with the agreement; And he himself continued to gather other troops in Jinyang, preparing to serve as a follow-up.

Cangzhou.

This is the residence of Liu Shouwen, the eldest son of Liu Rengong.

At the beginning, Liu Rengong relied on Li Keyong's strength to defeat Li Kuangchou, the former Jiedu envoy, and became the new Lulong Jiedu envoy, it didn't take long for him to betray Li Keyong, and the army sent by Li Keyong to crusade against him was defeated.

After defeating Li Keyong, Liu Rengong immediately became invincible, and he quickly sent troops south, wanting to join the tide of the world.

It is a pity that after defeating Lu Yanwei, the envoy of the Yichang Festival at that time, and seizing the land of Cangzhou, Liu Rengong continued his southern expedition, but was defeated by the combined forces of Zhu Quanzhong and Luo Shaowei.

Since then, Liu Rengong has lost his ambition to enter the world, but he feels complacent that he can dominate the party in this era of heroes, and gradually becomes proud and extravagant; The military and political power was gradually handed over to his sons, and he enjoyed himself with peace of mind.

As the eldest son, Liu Shouwen became the envoy of Yichang Festival, and his power increased greatly, not only can he recruit troops and buy horses by himself, but also appoint officials and generals by himself, almost becoming a party alone. Lifan Town.

At this time, after hearing that Huainan had once again defeated the Liang army and killed nearly 40,000 prisoners, Liu Shouwen was overjoyed.

Compared with his father, who was already complacent and had lost his enterprising spirit, the young and vigorous Liu Shouwen was much more aggressive.

He immediately decided that this was a good opportunity for him to expand his power, and if he missed it, it would be intolerable!

However, in the final determination of the target of sending troops, Liu Shouwen did not choose to directly attack Zhu Quanzhong's territory, but chose to divide Zhenzhou, Jizhou of Wang Rong, the envoy of Chengde Jiedu, who owned the land of four states, and Beizhou, one of the six states of Weibo.

Although Zhu Quanzhong was defeated by Huainan one after another, after all, he had many generals and a wide range of generals, and his current strength was still far above Cangzhou, so Liu Shouwen did not want to attack Zhu Quanzhong directly.

In contrast, Wang Rong has always been a feudal force dependent on Zhu Quanzhong, and he has many old grudges with Liu Shouwen, and his strength is not strong, so it is much easier to attack.

As for Weibo Town, after the change in Weizhou, although Luo Shaowei appeased the generals under his command and used various means to win them over.

However, Luo Shaowei still underestimated the "tradition" of Wei Bojun for more than 100 years, and his move to join forces with Zhu Quanzhong to slaughter Wei Bo's soldiers has completely subverted the past tradition, and the result has caused a violent backlash, and Shi Renyu rebelled as soon as he got the news.

And the remaining five states controlled by generals from the tooth soldiers, although there is no public rebellion, but they also do not accept Luo Shaowei's appeasement.

At this time, the internal relationship between Weibo Town was extremely delicate, especially with the news of Zhu Quanzhong's defeat again, the deterrent power of the Liang army was also not as strong as before.

Therefore, Liu Shouwen believed that the rebellion in Weibo was a matter of time, and he just had to wait patiently and then take advantage of the fire to rob.

A few days later, as he expected, the five states of Xiangzhou, Weizhou, Shanzhou, Beizhou, and Bozhou rebelled together, and after supporting the general Li Chongba as Wei Boliu, he no longer recognized Luo Shaowei as the lord of Wei Bo.

After getting the news, Liu Shouwen immediately sent troops to attack Beizhou and Jizhou, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to seize benefits.

At this point, Yang Wu's long-awaited northern turmoil finally began, except for Li Maozhen and Yang Chongben, who had just been repaired by Liu Zhijun not long ago and had not yet recovered, almost all other northern feudal towns joined the war.

Liu Shouwen sent troops to attack Beizhou and Jizhou, which did not have much impact on Zhu Quanzhong; Chengde Jiedu made Wang Rong and Yiwu Jiedu made Wang Zhizhi, one of these two families divided Zhenzhou, one divided Dingzhou, and the two families were in a relationship of lip and tooth cold; Their current strength is more than self-preservation and insufficient offense, so they have always chosen the strong and served: when Li Keyong was strong, the two families took refuge in Li Keyong; When Zhu Quanzhong was strong, they took refuge in Zhu Quanzhong.

Therefore, Zhu Quanzhong didn't care much about the attack on these two feudal towns that temporarily belonged to him, but secretly rejoiced, hoping that they would suffer heavy losses and be better.

However, the rebellion of the five states of Luzhou and Weibo, which were attacked by the Jin army, was a major problem for Zhu Quanzhong.

The five states of Weibo are only separated by a Yellow River from Zhu Quanzhong's core Bianzhou and other places, and are closely connected with Luzhou, if they can't be quickly pacified, and when it really becomes the climate, and Luzhou is lost, then the entire north of the Yellow River will no longer be owned by Zhu Quanzhong!

Compared with Li Keyong, who has a large number of cavalry and is an old enemy for many years, Zhu Quanzhong's vigilance against him is much stronger than that of Huainan, so Zhu Quanzhong quickly made up his mind whether to deal with Huainan or Li Ke first.
