The movements of the Tang army could not be concealed from the spies of the Han State, and even the Wu Yue people detected some clues through the secret agents in Jinling, and the spies reported one after another, and Qian Wenfeng got the news and started to calculate again. Qian Wenfeng originally thought that he could consume Hu Jinsi, but he didn't expect that although Hu Jinsi was exhausted because www.biquge.info of his beloved son's affairs, he was still alive, which made Qian Wenfeng's plan bankrupt.

Now that the main force of the Tang people is going north, ready to take advantage of the internal turmoil in the Han Dynasty to take advantage of some advantages, Qian Wenfeng also has an idea, he secretly reorganized his troops and horses, and prepared to attack Changzhou. Suzhou itself because of the relationship between the border towns, a large number of soldiers and horses were stationed, Qian Wenfeng as the envoy of the Central Wu Jiedu naturally has the right to transfer, he knew that if it was to play the imperial court, Hu Jinsi, who was the secretary of the military department, would definitely refuse, because once the Wu Yue people sent troops to Changzhou, it would obviously anger the Tang Dynasty, and Hu Qing's life would be threatened.

Hu Jinsi would never do this, otherwise his young son would die. And Qian Wenfeng's purpose is this, he just wants to provoke the Tang people and kill Hu Qing, Hu Jinsi feels sorry for his beloved son, and he may die if he dies, so that the power of Wu Yueguo will return to the hands of the Qian family.

Qian Wenfeng secretly mobilized troops and horses, and the spies of the Tang people also saw the clues, and soon transmitted the news back to Jinling. The two brothers, Li Jing and Li Jingsui, discussed for a long time and decided to send troops to support Changzhou, and the king of Qi mobilized 15,000 Ningguo troops from Xuanzhou, plus the Jiangyin army, with a total of 30,000 people, to support Changzhou.

Although Yang Lian could guess some of the changes in the south, he had already left Chuzhou at this time, sailed north, and stopped at the border between the two countries, in order not to cause Fu Yanqing's misunderstanding, he sent Chen Tie to Xuzhou in person, bringing a letter from Fu Jinzhan .

Xuzhou City. Fu Yanqing seemed very worried, since Fu Jinzhan went to the south, he had been worried about his daughter. Later, I heard that she was doing well, and I felt a little at ease. But then, he was worried about Fu Ming. Fu Ming pretended to be Fu Jinzhan and married Li Shouzhen's son Li Chongxun. The marriage between the two families was originally a good thing, but who knew that Li Shouzhen was so greedy for profit that he rebelled.

The reason why Li Shouzhen rebelled, Fu Yanqing knew some insiders, it is said that an outsider went to the river, saw Fu Ming, and said that she had the posture of an emperor and queen, Li Shouzhen moved his mind, and had contacted Fu Yanqing before the rebellion, but Fu Yanqing did not have this mind at all, he drove away Li Shouzhen's messenger and burned the letter.

After Li Shouzhen was destroyed, Fu Ming was rescued by Guo Wei, and later married her to Guo Rong. According to Guo Wei's letter, Guo Rong liked her very much, so Fu Yanqing thought about it and agreed to the marriage.

But it didn't take long for him to get the news of Guo Wei's rebellion, which put Fu Yanqing in a dilemma. Guo Wei rebelled for his reasons, and he was also forced, in the case that there were no good generals in the Han State, Guo Wei was very likely to take Kaifeng, so as to clear the side of the monarch.

However, Fu Yanqing also got the news, Yang Lian is also actively preparing for war, there seems to be an attempt to go north, for which he also sent someone to Chuzhou to spy on the news, Yang Lian just set off from Chuzhou, Fu Yanqing got the news on the third day, Fu Yanqing immediately sent troops to guard the Xuzhou Pass, no matter what, Yang Lian is a Tang person, he is a Han person, and Yang Lian must not be easily let into Xuzhou.

Fu Yanqing also knew the news of Yang Lian's stop at the border, and soon, Chen Tie brought a letter. The letter was written by Fu Jinzhan , in the letter, the daughter told the meaning of parting, and later said that now the Han Kingdom is in turmoil, the Fu family is very dangerous, if Guo Wei is defeated by the Han State, I am afraid that the Emperor of the Han State will find Fu Yanqing to settle accounts.

Fu Yanqing's daughter married Li Shouzhen's son, and later married Guo Rong, this relationship is enough to make Liu Chengyou vigilant, not to mention that Guo Wei and Fu Yanqing have an irreversible relationship. It seems that there is only one way in front of Fu Yanqing, and that is to help Guo Wei and seize Kaifeng.

Without her daughter's reminder, Fu Yanqing also knew that it was powerful, the Son of Heaven once ordered him to change the town of Yanzhou, but he tried to refuse, and later Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne and wanted him to guard Qingzhou, Fu Yanqing pretended to be sick again, and when the Han State pacified Li Shouzhen, he wanted to summon him to Kaifeng. But with the shadow of the year, Fu Yanqing didn't dare to go to Kaifeng. When Du Chongwei was poisoned alive, he still vividly remembers it.

Fu Yanqing didn't want to die, even if he died, as a military general, he had to die on the battlefield, not be poisoned or killed. Although Guo Wei is huge, it is still unknown whether he can take Kaifeng.

Fu Yanqing read the letter, thought about it carefully, and said, "What do the Tang soldiers and horses want to go north?" ”

Chen Tie had already received Yang Lian's instructions, so he replied, "The alliance between the two countries, the Tang Dynasty dare not forget, now that the Han is in turmoil, the Shuntian Festival envoys will raise troops to help and exterminate the rebels." ”

Fu Yanqing smiled, this is naturally a pretext, the Tang people's minds are probably not so simple, but the Tang army is pressing, does he really want to fight against the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses in Xuzhou? Whether it is the emperor of the Han Dynasty or Guo Wei, under the current situation, it is obviously impossible to send troops to support him.

Fu Yanqing hesitated for a while and made a request, he asked Yang Lian to come to Xuzhou to see him. Chen Tie didn't dare to call the shots in this matter, so he immediately resigned and left. Fu Yanqing immediately summoned the generals, reorganized the troops and horses, and actively prepared for war.

"Fu Jiedu wants me to go to Xuzhou in person?" After receiving the news, Yang Lian couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly, Yang Jiedu, this is obviously a fraud, you can't go." Chen Tie reminded.

Yang Lian thought about it carefully, Xuzhou is one of the important towns in the world, if you can take Xuzhou without blood, you can protect Haizhou in the east, Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the north, and Songzhou and Bozhou in the west, which means that you can attack the counties of the Central Plains at any time. Yang Lian didn't want to waste too much time in Xuzhou. In my impression, it seems that Guo Wei's rebellion and invasion of Kaifeng did not take long, and more importantly, Yang Lian could not judge things based on what he knew, because many things had changed. Only by entering Kaifeng early can he have more time to take control.

After Yang Lian decided, he only took Chen Tie and Zhu Qi to Xuzhou.

The three of them entered Xuzhou, Fu Yanqing quickly got the news, Yang Lian was bold, Fu Yanqing knew, but he didn't expect Yang Lian's courage to be so big, he immediately rushed to the city gate to greet Yang Lian in person.

The city gate opened, and Yang Lian entered with his head held high, without the slightest fear. Fu Yanqing greeted him in person and returned to the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion.

Yang Lian didn't rush to ask, Fu Yanqing was also pretending to be stupid, and after eating an extremely sumptuous banquet, in the study, the two people who would become Weng's son-in-law in the future had an open and honest conversation.

Yang Lian's attitude is very tough and very simple, he hopes to rush to Kaifeng through Xuzhou to support the upcoming war. Because he knew that Liu Chengyou would definitely not be able to hold Kaifeng, once he was captured and Guo Wei took the throne, the power in the north would become stronger and stronger. A strong opponent is obviously difficult to deal with, so Yang Lian wants to minimize this possibility. If you can defeat Guo Wei, that's the best, if not, at least you have to rescue Liu Chengyou, and there will be a reason for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to the north in the future.

Of course, Yang Lian couldn't tell the matter, he just told Fu Yanqing that he had to stop Guo Wei, the reason was that he had a very good relationship with Liu Chengyou back then.

Fu Yanqing scoffed, the Tang people were obviously ambitious, and Li Jing, the son of the Tang Dynasty, had moved troops everywhere in the past few years, attacking Wu Yue and Fujian, and last year he helped Ma Xicao of Chu successfully seize the position of the king of Chu. The Tang people came to the Han Kingdom only for the purpose of seizing the land of the Han Kingdom, and it was impossible to have good intentions.

The two had a fierce confrontation for a long time, and no one could convince anyone, Fu Yanqing even slapped the table and scolded the Tang people. Several guards outside the door broke in, very nervous, and Fu Yanqing scolded them loudly again.

Yang Lian looked at it very calmly, he knew that Fu Yanqing couldn't let go of this knot, Fu Yanqing had gone through several dynasties and had been in the army since the post-Tang Dynasty. Although Fu Yanqing has experienced several generations such as the Later Tang Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, and the Later Han Dynasty, as a courtier, he has never betrayed him, and he can be regarded as a person who is loyal and filial.

It is obviously unrealistic to ask Fu Yanqing to surrender immediately. Yang Lian said what he thought in his heart, whether Fu Yanqing could accept it or not was another matter. The two talked for more than two hours, and finally Fu Yanqing sent someone to take Yang Lian to rest first.

Early the next morning, Yang Lian left with Chen Tie and others, and before parting with Fu Yanqing, the two whispered a few words, and Yang Lian rode on his war horse and turned back to the army. On the way, Chen Tie asked Yang Lian with some curiosity, what did the two say? Since Fu Yanqing was so angry, why didn't he kill them?

Yang Lian smiled but did not answer, and after returning to the army, he immediately ordered to sail north, arrived outside the city of Xuzhou, chose a place to camp, and then sent people to cut down trees everywhere to make siege equipment. Xuzhou is an important hub, Yang Lian could not abandon Xuzhou to go north, otherwise the follow-up grain and grass baggage could not pass through Xuzhou, if the food was not enough, his 15,000 people would fall into a situation of lack of food.

The Tang army cut down trees outside the city, Fu Yanqing of the city gate closed the city gate and strengthened the defense, Fu Yanqing personally led the troops to patrol from time to time, inspected all parts of the city, inspired the soldiers, encouraged the people, although the Tang people were menacing, but they were not terrible, as long as the soldiers and civilians in the city worked together, they could stop them.

At the same time, Fu Yanqing wrote an excerpt and sent someone to Kaifeng, telling the situation in Xuzhou, the Tang people were treacherous, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attacked Xuzhou, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to support, otherwise Xuzhou would be lost, the counties of Shandong would be in danger, and the hinterland of the Central Plains would also be exposed to the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Lian was stationed outside Xuzhou for seven or eight days, carrying a large amount of grain and grass Huang Fuhui, Li Jinquan and others also came, with the addition of this group of new forces, Yang Lian's strength reached 35,000 people, so many soldiers and horses, to take Xuzhou, it seems to be a low-hanging fruit. You must know that there are only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City. As long as a batch of siege equipment was made and the city was sieged on all sides, the Tang people were heroic, and it was only a matter of one or two days to take Xuzhou.

At least that's what Fan Chongmin thought in his heart. (To be continued.) )
