Seven days later, when the horse arrived in Jinling, Shi Le's letter had already been placed on the court of the Jiangzuo court, and as Nie Daoren expected, the direct consequence was to provoke a controversy.

It is said that the spies described afterwards that during the debate, the opinions of various factions in the entire court were flying, and there were even military generals who almost staged a full martial arts, but the final result was very strange.

"None of them took the initiative to come forward? Why is that? Shi Le found Nie Daoren and asked directly.

"The reason for this is also simple, because Xuzhou was occupied by the king of Jiangdu before, and even the king of Langya had been sheltered by his people, but later Jiangzuo was powerful, and the situation of all parties in the world was unknown, so the king of Jiangdu also knew the truth that it was difficult to support the lonely tree, so he took the initiative to take refuge, but in the end he also entered the calculation and lost the territory, this time let the land of Xuzhou in Jiangbei be led by the Jiangzuo court, which is the reason."

"Isn't it the right time for a certain family to do it now?" Shi Le narrowed his eyes, "Your previous calculations are still wrong." ”

Nie Daoren said with a smile: "My subordinates didn't expect that the king of Jiangdu had taken refuge for a while, and he himself had lost his territory and army, but the Jiangzuo court still failed to integrate and digest a piece of land in Jiangbei. ”

Shi Le was silent when he heard this, and after a long while, he said: "You are taking the matter of Youzhou as a one-size-fits-all matter, and Xuzhou has not been integrated by Jiangzuo, but a certain family takes it for granted." ”

Nie Daoren listened and nodded yes.

Then Shi Le was not verbose, and directly gave an order, asking Shi Hu and Zhixiong to each raise a soldier and horse to go south and attack Xuzhou.

These two people are not all the way now, they have their own garrisons, but they are closer to Xuzhou, so they have to be ordered at the same time.

The two of them went south, and at the beginning they were met with fierce resistance, and when the Jiangzuo court saw that Shi Lelai was really real, they also reached an agreement because of external pressure, and sent two troops and horses over.

It's just that what happened next was that the two soldiers and horses stopped halfway, and until the north of Xuzhou was all captured, they didn't make any further movements.

Even Shi Le couldn't figure out this reason, and it wasn't until the spies reported back the affairs of Jiangzuo's court that they knew that it was still related to Wang Dun.

"This Wang Dun is really arrogant, he occupies Jingzhou, there is a distance from Yangzhou, and he still has a certain influence in Yangzhou's soldiers and horses, but why would he stop the soldiers and horses from going north?" Shi Le said, narrowing his eyes, "Are you worried that someone will be like him and use this to make it bigger?" This northern land is not comparable to a few bandits in the south. ”

"Your Majesty, you can't just look at this matter from the perspective of this soldier," in the end, Nie Daoren woke up with a word, "This Jiangzuo court sent troops to the north, in fact, it is not only a soldier's business, but also a very representative issue, you think about it, what is the significance of Luoyang, which is now in your hands, to the Jiangzuo court, to the Guanzhong court, and even to the three states of the north?" ”

Shi Le has been the leader for a few years after all, and at this time, he understood the reason behind it when he heard it, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy.

"I want to come to the Jiangzuo Imperial Court, I waited for the Hu people to come out and occupy Luoyang, which was to make their orthodoxy dusty, so to send troops to the north, it was the Northern Expedition, and it was to beat my Hu people's soldiers and horses, which is of great significance, if it can be successful, it will immediately be famous and powerful, he Wang Dun has been fighting bandits for so long, there is a little weather, maybe as long as the two families of the Northern Expedition can win one or two games, they can compare, and it is still excessive."

"That's exactly what happened." Nie Daoren nodded, "It's because of the worries of the king's battle, in fact, it's not in Jiangzuo in the south, but in Qingzhou in the north of Xuzhou." ”

"Qingzhou Cao Wei!"

Shile coldly spat out the name.

"That's the man!" Nie Daoren nodded, "If Xuzhou falls into the hands of the king, then he Qingzhou will have no cover at all, so he will naturally not let it go." ”

"Then how do you prevent him?" Schler asked.

Nie Daoren shook his head with a smile and said, "Why do you want to prevent it? That's a good thing! can kill two birds with one stone, the king is dang to prepare the two armies in advance, then Cao Wei's soldiers and horses move, first let him go south, and then attack his lair, so that he can be rescued, and then let General Shi Hu lead the army north, front and back, you can destroy it! ”

What happened after that, as the two monarchs and ministers expected, Cao Wei of Qingzhou saw that the situation was not good, so he could only entangle the soldiers and horses to go south to make trouble.

However, Cao Wei was able to make a position in Qingzhou, after all, he still had some ability, although he was once on the verge of collapse, but in the end he was more and more courageous, and finally made a comeback, he led the army south, and made some preparations in advance, but it was still too weak behavior of the Jiangzuo court, which was somewhat unexpected, so this preparation was not enough.

On the border of Xuzhou, he fought with Shi Hu's soldiers and horses several times, and gained the upper hand, and even advanced all the way to the outskirts of Pengcheng.

But at the critical moment, because he was worried that it would affect the Pengcheng Chen clan and cause disaster, there was a loophole in the tactical arrangement, but he was still seized by the Shi Hu and fought back, and after a big defeat, he had to retreat.

His retreat, morale was completely lost, although Cao Wei still had some tactics, but the soldiers below were all in the battle, and finally became a rout, as Shi Le and Nie Daoren expected, they retreated all the way and retreated to the Qingzhou boundary, but they still entered the situation of being flanked before and after, and the soldiers and horses were completely defeated, and they were captured on the spot, and became Shi Hu's prisoners of war.

And Shi Hu completely ignored Shi Le's order to bring Cao Wei back to Yecheng, and on the day he captured Cao Wei, he directly killed him alive, and killed all the three thousand direct soldiers and horses under Cao Wei!

When the news came back to Zhending, Shi Le was very angry and directly crushed a bottle in his hand.

"He's getting more and more lawless!" After sitting down again, Shile recruited a few cronies to inquire about the construction on the Yecheng side—after occupying a part of Sizhou, Shile moved his original plan back to move his administrative core to the city to the south.

After understanding the general situation of entering the city, knowing that it has been roughly completed, Shi Le recruited Nie Daoren to come over again, and bluntly said: "A certain family plans to go to Yecheng first to sit in Yecheng after a while, then if Xuzhou is in the hands of a certain family, the future of this territory is also broad, and it is a little inconvenient to stay in the north, not to mention what Shi Hu did this time, and a certain family is very worried. ”

When Nie Daoren listened, he realized that his lord had finally decided to do it!

It's just inexplicable, but there is a touch of uneasiness in his heart.
