Xuzhou, Pengcheng, among the back houses of Luo's Garden.

"More people."

The majestic-looking enigmatic creature complained loudly with a cute brow

"The old lady is not an omnipotent Doraemon."

"I was hugged by a four-eyed sissy and cried,"

"You can find a way to find a way to just dig through the dimensional bag."

Well, the expressions of many women around her who were confused and incomprehensible, or accustomed to it, or slightly holding back a smile, made her self-deprecating complaints quickly become unwilling.

"You know, the gap caused by Huainan Road has not had time to fill it before."

"Are you going to open a bigger skylight this time?"

"Even if you can take some emergency from the students who are currently in school."

"But those sandwich rice that has not passed half of the most basic cultivation cycle, he dares to use it with confidence"

“。。 Aren't you afraid of giving birth to what is wrong and what is chaotic?"

"Don't you know what it means to be hasty and not reach."

It wasn't until a new letter was sent in that she was interrupted again by the annoyance and grumbling she was full of.

"Are you going to start the compulsory separation of households in the new place?"

"Except for the eldest male, all able-bodied men who have passed the age of twenty must be compulsorily removed from their homes."

"If the family is unable to accommodate the needs, they must be assigned and managed by the government."

"If it is not expected, the family will be implicated and severely punished. and even the exile to the borderlands. ”

"In the future, it will also be listed as one of the indicators of local performance evaluation, and it will surely set off a round of upward and downward effect soon."

"Although it is rough and harsh, it is a good way to deal with the remnants of the traditional clans and powerful people on the other side."

"It's also a rainy day for the great cause of the future."

"Under this premise and foundation, even if there is some backlash and riots in those places, it is not impossible to bear."

Subsequently, during the break of the afternoon tea break, she saw Fang Yingwu who came to report.

"What kind of bizarre life experience has anything to do with Huaizhen's achievements and achievements over the years?"

The enigmatic creature sneered without hesitation.

"This kind of grandstanding nonsense should not be used to slander people's ears and eyes again."

"The villain got it."

Fang Yingwu, who hung his head and attached his ears, said respectfully

"Let's clean up one or two."

"However, this kind of messy non-verbal argument cannot be easily indulged."

The enigmatic creature continued.

"It's better to dispose of it in a big way."

"The villain understands what the mistress means."

Fang Yingwu nodded and agreed

"I'll arrange more ridiculous rumors and rumors. confusing and confusing them"

"For example, how about the five surnames and seven wangs who climbed to the previous dynasty,"

"Or maybe it's a famous person in history."

The obsessed creature nodded slightly reservedly.

"Then let me wait and see, and the next means and actions will be good."

But after taking care of the last bit of business that night, she unexpectedly appeared in Jia Yejun's room.

"There's just something I want to ask you about."

。。。。。。。。。。。。

And in Jizhou, Hebei, on the gate tower of the capital Xindu, looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers in the distance, which are vertical and horizontal, and are dyed in blood-red tones under the sunset, Zhang Bangchang, the governor of Hebei Xingtai, who has retired all the people around him, is also drinking and sighing for a long time.

For everything that was once familiar was going to be far away from him, and it was likely that he would never return. Outside the west gate at the other end, the team in charge of the migration, under the escort and supervision of Jia Bing, has extended out a long line that cannot be seen.

In the first half of his life, he faced countless generations of dangers and difficulties, as well as many crises and seemingly invincible opponents, but he was dealt with by the scheming and stratagem he was good at, and in turn obtained many things that he once dared not imagine.

But this time, in the face of the opponent's superior and overwhelming power advance, his strategy and scheming have become redundant and cumbersome that obviously cannot be used directly, and it seems that he can no longer hold on.

At least, under the frightening reaction efficiency of the Huai army, and the rapid transformation of the offensive, his original two-headed strategy of defending the south and attacking the north has been completely bankrupt; Originally, he wanted to seize the opportunity to enter the Pinglu Shanhou area, which was relatively empty, before the heavy army gathered and the fierce battle continued, as a bargaining chip for negotiations and confrontation with Huaizhen.

But he didn't expect that Huaizhen would have enough spare strength to launch an offensive in Hebei in addition to undisguised large-scale mobilization of the army to level Ludao; As a result, after he sent Hebei soldiers to occupy half of the mountain, the Huai army swept away the main force of the Pinglu Army in front of the mountain, and took down the city of Youzhou.

Then, the four states of Yasango that had already been obtained were not able to keep it for long. Just now I was immersed in the surprise of the great victory of repelling several Huai army forwards, and then I received the news that tens of thousands of troops who had entered the back of the mountain were all defeated for the Huai army to attack and seize the rear road; Even the Thunderbolt Army, which he had built with a lot of money, was not able to hold out for long, and only the remnants of the two battalions led by the general Qin Ming were able to flee back to Hebei in a hurry.

In the south, he deliberately did not annex and was restrained, relying on the outer shield and buffer zone of several states, and about a dozen local forces were like piles of paper on mud; Under the first round of attacks launched by the Huai army suddenly with a thunderous force, it did not even hold out for a few days;

Either they collapsed one after another or surrendered without a fight, so they walked into the Huai Army's management camp, or simply took the initiative to open the door to welcome each other and change the flag, and Shunshu played the role of leading the party and pawns.

The fault is that he seriously underestimated Huaizhen's confidence and determination to use troops in Hebei; I thought that even if Huai Zhen wanted to mobilize the army again, at least he would have to spend time gathering and preparing again, which was enough for him to take countermeasures and prepare for contingencies; But I didn't expect to say that I didn't agree with each other, and I immediately called with all my gear.

Theoretically, he can certainly repeat his old tricks and send people to buy those who will succumb to the peripheral forces and subordinate forces in front of the Huai army, and create chaos and even counterattack to stop and delay the other party's footsteps;

However, under the situation that Huaizhen has annexed Pinglu Dao and formed a north-south encirclement of Hebei, only those who are eager for quick success and quick profit will make this kind of anti-water behavior against the trend.

Or send a powerful lobbyist to incite the chaos within Huaizhen, but under the basic plate of Huaizhen itself, which is already an iron bucket, this is just a kind of extravagant hope and longing that is better than nothing, but it is easy to give it a handle, and become a reason and opportunity to provoke Huaizhen to attack with all its might.

As for the newly occupied areas in front of the mountain and behind the mountain in Huaizhen, it is possible to think of some ways to drag the other party's hands and feet, but it is also far from quenching the thirst of the near water.

To this end, he did not hesitate to grasp every life-saving straw, every external force and possibility that could be relied upon; Send people to contact the remnants of the princes and vassals outside the fortress, and intensify the seizure of the localities and the liquidation of those peripherals at all costs, and obtain the resources purchased by themselves to buy and concentrate military power;

He even sent people across the south bank of the Yellow River to contact and negotiate, and the Southern Dynasty Wang Duanchen's subordinates, in order to make this prestigious backbone of the Northern Expedition, carry out limited containment and interference in the Huai army, and then sink into the sea and never come back.

Even for the old opponent who was undying in the past, the Northern Han ******, who was driven out of Hebei and fled to the corner of Hedong, sent a corresponding messenger to ask for help. Of course, the only ones who were sent back were the heads that had been cut off as soon as they entered the castle.

Therefore, he had already made various corresponding preparations and retreats, including moving his expedition to Weizhou (present-day Xinxiang, Henan) near the banks of the Yellow River, and even preparing corresponding retreats in Zhenzhou (present-day Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City) to the north.

After all, this was just one of the offensives, and it had already threatened his old nest Xindu, which had never been trapped; If this makes most of the Huai army in Pinglu Dao pull out their hands, the result is unimaginable.

In fact, since he saw Dongshengmen raise the battle flag of the Huai army, he instinctively reacted to fleeing from the city with his cronies, and the prestige and rule he had always worked hard to maintain began to show faint signs of cracks and collapses, although this degree was still very subtle for the time being; So he simply didn't have enough confidence to hold Jizhou.

And before that,

He thought that he had paid a great price and sincerity, and the thick money he had sent to maintain the status quo was rejected without even having a chance to be sent to the other party. The first reply only had a concise four-word "side of the couch", which made him speechless for a while, and temporarily completely extinguished the idea of compromise.

But he still had enough luck to get things done. Maybe Huaizhen still needs time to digest and calm the entire newly occupied Pinglu Road, and may not have the spare strength to take care of Hebei for a while, maybe all this is just Huaizhen's bluff and trickery, wanting to blackmail more interests and benefits.

Then, the story of Xindu Dongshengmen's lost and recovered was slapped hard in his face, once upon a time, even the Cangzhou Army, a second- or third-rate peripheral force and subsidiary armed forces supported by Huaizhen, could easily break through the encirclement and attack of the Hebei army with several times his superiority, and the ability to do this long-distance drive straight to the vital point.

Then, he again sent a reply to the conditions and requests of the subordinate forces to cede most of Hebei and leave only a corner as a place for him to condescend to the people, which is like a subordinate power, and the same four words "Wang or Du No. ”

This is the result of asking him whether he wants Wang Shichong or Du Fuwei, as one of the former anti-kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although he is the most blessed and victorious place in the world, it is difficult for the world to break the city and die at the hands of the small officials; And the latter was dedicated to Li Tang according to Jianghuai and the Mandate of Heaven, and was raised by the high-ranking official Houlu until the Fugongyou Rebellion was killed, which does not look like a satisfactory result.

He really wanted to stand in front of the other party and ask loudly: Why can't it be Qu Tutong or Luo Shixin; But when he thought of his shortcomings in military strategy, he was completely deflated like a ball that had been punctured again.

Could it be that in addition to being powerless to resist to the end, he only has the fate of being imprisoned with the rich life of the deep mansion compound, after tasting the taste of power in his hands and everyone bowing down, he is really unwilling.
