Guo Wei raised troops, although the preparation was slightly insufficient, but everywhere he went, the envoys from all over the country came to surrender one after another. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info first Guo Wei's soldiers came to the bank of the Yellow River, and Li Hongyi received the news that the Zhenning army festival made Li Hongyi open the city gate and surrendered.

The three armies received the money, their morale was greatly boosted, and the next day they successfully crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Huazhou. Yicheng Jiedu made Song Yanwu get the news, and also chose to surrender, Guo Wei crossed the Yellow River, and left the seal for more than 200 miles, Guo Wei temporarily stopped in Huazhou, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and at the same time prepared grain and grass to reward the three armies.

Guo Wei's generals Shi Shouxin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zheng En and others repeatedly went to the table to take Kaifeng in one go and clear the king's side. But the weather was cold at this time, and Guo Wei had to protect the soldiers' clothing before he could go south to capture Kaifeng. After arriving in Huazhou, there was almost no danger to defend between Kaifeng, so Guo Wei was not worried.

Guo Wei marched towards Kaifeng in the name of "Qingjun's side", and most of the Jiedu envoys in the north surrendered. This drastic change in the situation is beyond Yang Lian's imagination, Yang Lian stood in front of the map, his expression was a little solemn, Guo Wei chose to rebel at this time, although there are unfavorable factors for the war, but for the southerners, it is also not good, and this impact is greater. The weather is cold, and it is even more difficult for southerners to bear.

Yang Lian, Huang Fuhui, and Li Jinquan gathered in front of the map, looking carefully, Guo Wei's speed was too fast, at this speed, I am afraid that before the Chinese New Year, Guo Wei will be able to take Kaifeng. If that's the case, for Yang Lian, the gains outweigh the losses, and the original plan will be null and void.

Li Jinquan frowned and said: "Although there are not many defenders in Xuzhou, but the land is strangled, east, west, north and south, if our army wants to go north, Xuzhou cannot but occupy it." ”

Everyone understands this truth, but it is very difficult to conquer such an important town, or it is not possible to take it in a moment. Now after more than half a month of preparation, the siege equipment is ready, and the city can be sieged, but can you take Xuzhou before Guo Wei takes Kaifeng?

Yang Lian stared and thought for a while, and said: "I have an opinion, it is better for me to lead my troops to detour north, Li Jiedu will lead 10,000 troops and be stationed in Xuzhou, as long as I ensure that Fu Yanqing does not cut off our army's food and grass." ”

Such a plan is a bit risky, Huang Fuhui was silent for a moment, a little disapproving, and said: "Yang Zhaohui is the commander of the first army, and he can't act rashly. If you want to drive directly to Kaifeng, I am willing to accept the order. ”

Huangfu Hui has been in the Northland for many years and has rich experience, but Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Huangfu Festival, you have more important things to do." Saying that, Yang Lian pointed to Shandong, Huang Fuhui once assassinated Mizhou, although Mizhou is in Shandong, there are several knots in the middle, but if you want to occupy Shandong, Mizhou is an important stronghold.

Yang Lian is now short of troops, so naturally he will not disperse his troops, but Huang Fuhui can write a letter, summon the old department of Mizhou, promise gold and silver, and make him rebel and defect to the Tang Dynasty. After Guo Wei was established, Datang also took the Shandong area, which could directly threaten the Central Plains.

Huang Fuhui nodded, he had been in Mizhou for seven or eight years, so he naturally had his connections, the Tang army went north, there were only more than 30,000 people, and it was still in the increasingly cold winter, confronting Guo Wei's army of more than 100,000 people, and it was not advantageous. This time when you go north, you can take as much advantage as you can, and it is impossible to restore the Central Plains in one go.

When several people were discussing, Chen Tie hurriedly walked in and handed over an urgent report, Yang Lian opened it, showed surprise on his face, and said, "The German army has taken refuge in Guo Wei." ”

The festival envoy who returned to the German army was originally Shi Hongzhao, and Shi Hongzhao held many positions at that time and had great power, otherwise Liu Chengyou would not have moved his killing intent. After Shi Hongzhao died, Liu Chengyou transferred Chang Si, the envoy of the original Zhaoyi Festival, to the German Army, and governed Songzhou and Bozhou. Chang Si and Guo Wei have a good relationship, Guo Wei is called "Uncle Chang", Guo Wei rebels, Chang Si rebels, it is reasonable.

It's just that Yang Lian doesn't understand the identity of Chang Si and Guo Wei, why didn't Liu Chengyou take precautions? Chang Si's rebellion was undoubtedly fatal, meaning that the northeast and southeast directions of Kaifeng were all enemies.

"We must take Songzhou as soon as possible and open the way to Kaifeng." Yang Lian finished reading the letter and said.

Huang Fuhui said: "If you think about rebellion, you must have something to rely on, and it is very difficult to take Songzhou." ”

"That's fine." Yang Lian said that although Songzhou is an important town, it is too poor in terms of solidity compared to Xuzhou.

While several people were talking, Fan Chongmin shouted outside, "Yang Zhao, is Yang Zhaojiao here?" ”

Yang Lian frowned, this Fan Chongmin must have come to urge the troops again.

Li Jinquan was about to speak, Yang Lian suddenly thought of a way, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Let's go, go out and watch a good show." ”

Huang Fuhui and Li Jinquan didn't understand what Yang Lian meant, and when they saw that the others had already walked out, they hurriedly walked a few steps to follow. Outside the big tent, Fan Chongmin was wearing thick clothes, like a panda, looking very bloated. Seeing Yang Lian come out, Fan Chongmin's eyes lit up.

"Yang Zhaojiu, the army has been in Xuzhou for half a month, why don't you enter the army?" Fan Chongmin was aggressive, and behind him, several guards followed.

Yang Lian looked at him, smiled, and said, "Then with Fan Jianjun's opinion, what should we do?" ”

"Attack immediately and take Xuzhou. Otherwise, do you still expect to spend the New Year here? Fan Chongmin said.

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "What a big deal is it to march into Xuzhou, can you take Xuzhou with just a few words from Fan Jianjun?" ”

Fan Chongmin snorted coldly, glanced around proudly, and said, "If Yang Zhaoqiu admits that he can't take Xuzhou, he might as well go to the book of heaven and choose another good general." ”

"Haha!" Yang Lian laughed a few times, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at him, and said, "Fan Jianjun, just because you, a scholar who doesn't hear anything outside the window, are also worthy of pointing fingers in front of me?" What things you do, when I don't know? ”

Fan Chongmin is a little weak-hearted, although he is only a small official in the household department, he actually has something to do with Sun Sheng, and belongs to the Yanwang party, but he usually hides it deeply. Some time ago, he secretly wrote a letter to Sun Sheng, accusing Yang Lian of inaction. Although it didn't have any effect, it still made him feel a little weak.

Seeing that he was a little flinching, Yang Lian couldn't help but smile and said, "Fan Jianjun, there is no need to say much about this matter, I will not enter the army without full certainty." ”

Fan Chongmin shook off his robe, snorted coldly, and said, "Coward, martial arts are afraid of death, how can this world not be chaotic?" With that, he was leaving.

Yang Lian stopped him and shouted, "Bastard, who are you talking about?" ”

Fan Chongmin was a literati after all, and he couldn't stand this kind of filthy words, so his face suddenly turned red, and he was furious, and said, "You, what did you say?" ”

Yang Lian stepped forward, stretched out his hand, grabbed Fan Chongmin's fingers, and with a force, broke two of his fingers. Fan Chongmin screamed, his forehead was suddenly sweating, he couldn't imagine that Yang Lian would dare to make a move in the army, and he would just break his fingers with one move.

Huang Fuhui and Li Jin looked at each other in an all-round way, Yang Lian said that this is the good show? The prison army has always had real power, what if he told the Son of Heaven?

The two guards brought by Fan Chongmin shouted, pulled out their sharp blades, and were about to pounce, when Yang Lian met him with a punch and hit the bridge of one person's nose, the man screamed, blood gushed out from his nostrils, and at the same time, Chen Tie also pounced and kicked the other person away.

Yang Lian squinted his eyes, looked at the two guards, and shouted: "Come on, drag them out and cut them down, and hang their heads at the gate of the camp." ”

"Whoa!" Several soldiers stepped forward, grabbed two guards and left.

Fan Chongmin endured the pain and shouted, "Yang Lian, you dare? ”

"What am I afraid of? If you have the ability, write back a letter and let those officials in Beijing impeach me!" Yang Lian smiled.

"So he knows?" Fan Chongmin's brain exploded suddenly, he never thought that Yang Lian would know about this, he immediately hesitated, and after hesitating, he heard two screams, and the two guards he brought had already fallen to the ground. Yang Lian waved his hand and motioned to hang the head.

Fan Chongmin gritted his teeth, glanced at Yang Lian fiercely, and said, "Yang Lian, you remember today." ”

As soon as Yang Lian raised his hand, Fan Chongmin's face changed greatly, he ran away, and returned to the big tent, the servant saw that Fan Chongmin was injured, and hurriedly found a medical officer to diagnose and treat Fan Chongmin.

Fan Chongmin gritted his teeth, hated Yang Lian to the core, he thought about it, let people grind the ink, and groped with his left hand to write a letter, and let people send it back to Jinling. The spies were intercepted by the scouts sent by Fu Yanqing on the way.

After reading the letter, Fu Yanqing also knew that there was also a relationship of interests within the Tang Army. In order to confirm, he sent people to inspect the Tang Army camp, and sure enough, at the gate of the camp, two heads were found. After Fu Yanqing confirmed, he wrote a letter and asked people to pass it to Kaifeng.

Of the seven or eight messengers sent out by Fu Yanqing, two or three were captured by the subordinates of Chang Si, the envoy of the German army.

In the city of Songzhou, Chang Si carefully read several letters, all of which were written by the same person and had the same content, so Chang Si could be sure that the content of the letters was true. Chang Si and Guo Wei had a bad relationship, Guo Wei raised troops and wrote a letter to him first, and Chang Si had objections at that time.

Back then, Liu Zhiyuan killed Du Chongwei in Kaifeng, although many Jiedu envoys did not say it, but they were wary of the Han in their hearts, but after all, the Dahan was the right in the world, and the Jiedu envoys did not have enough strength, so they naturally did not dare to rebel. But now it's different, first Li Shouzhen and others rebelled first, and then Guo Wei, and the prestige of the Han court has been shaken.

Now that Guo Wei's soldiers and horses have arrived in Huazhou, the next step is to force Kaifeng, the Han court is in danger, and Chang Si, who has a good relationship with Guo Wei, naturally chose to betray.

The Tang people led their troops north, Chang Si naturally knew about it, and for this reason, he also strengthened his defense, beware of the Tang people bypassing Xuzhou and attacking Songzhou. But now the Tang people have stopped in Xuzhou for nearly a month, which means that they want to attack Xuzhou, occupy this important town first, and then wave their troops north.

Chang Si took out another letter and looked at it carefully, this letter was written by Guo Wei to him, the meaning was obvious, Guo Wei's army had arrived in Huazhou, and he planned to let Chang Si also enter Kaifeng and take the capital of the Han Dynasty together. (To be continued.) )
