"Provide food and grass? I said Li Feng, are you dreaming and haven't woken up yet? Yanzhou Mansion, the capital of Yanzhou, are all going to you, and you still let us provide you with grain and grass? Then who will provide food and grass for my men? If you are willing to return the Yanzhou Mansion to the Governor of Pontus, you can consider this matter. Hearing that Zhao Xun asked him to provide grain and grass, Xu Jie's tone was cold.

Zhao Xun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Since Governor Xu disagrees, then let's divide our troops and attack." It is also lest there be any entanglements and troubles, and everyone's face will not look good, and if the plan to conquer the Armed Guards is ruined, it will be too late to regret it. Lord Situ, what do you say? ”

Situ Wen pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It is not impossible to divide the troops to attack, each side faces one side, and it can also be the Wuwei Army that has some scruples, and we will not take care of one or the other." Xu Dudu, what do you see? ”

Xu Jie secretly hated in his heart, but at this time, he had no better way, so he had to say: "That's good, divide the troops to attack." General Li, I can watch your Shanyang army win a big victory, otherwise, this Yanzhou Mansion is not so easy to accept. ”

Zhao Xun said lightly: "Don't bother Xu Dudu, we can resist the Tang army, and we can defeat it, so naturally we are not afraid of the Wuwei army." It's Xu Dudu's subordinates, but I can't say if I can stop the attack of this Wuwei army. Although you and I are attacking in two ways, we influence each other. Only by winning together can the Wuwei Army be completely annihilated. Lord Governor, don't forget, the land of the Three Prefectures occupied by the Wuwei Army is yours. If something goes wrong with your Yanzhou Army, or if you are afraid, or if you have other plans in mind, it will be you, Lord Dudu, who will lose in the end, not me. ”

Xu Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that if he won this battle, he would get the biggest benefit in the end. Exchanging one mansion for three mansions is also an advantage. Now he is a little worried about whether the Shanyang Army will really contribute, instead of what he expected before, to let the Shanyang Army fight, and hide behind the side to watch.

Seeing that Xu Jie's face changed slightly, Zhao Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The division of troops to attack is naturally to avoid any problems after joining forces with the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. If you don't die at the hands of the enemy, but you are killed by your own people, it is too wrong. In addition, there is no need to be controlled by others. Zhao Xun naturally knew how much resentment Xu Jie had in his heart because of the incident in Yanzhou Mansion, so he definitely couldn't fight with them, Zhao Xun didn't want to be knocked out. Therefore, at the beginning of the meeting, Zhao Xun was directly opposed to Xu Jie, which was also done by Zhao Xun on purpose.

Xu Jie saw that Zhao Xun and Situ Wen were both looking at him, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, divide the troops to attack!" Songzhou Mansion and Luzhou Mansion, which way do you choose? ”

Zhao Xun said casually: "Either way, Lord Governor will choose first, one east and one west, we will go hand in hand." Regardless of the Governor's opinion of the general, the great enemy in front of him is the Armed Guard. In addition, General Ben emphasized once again that in the final analysis, my Shanyang Army has never been sorry for Xu Dudu, but you, Xu Dudu, abandoned us first. ”

Xu Jie's face darkened, but he didn't say much, abandoning Shanyang Mansion and Liangzhou Mansion to form an alliance with the Tang Army, just like ceding Yanzhou Mansion and Shanyang Army now, just for the sake of the coalition army. However, the Shanyang Army and the Yanzhou Mansion and the Yanzhou Mansion Army have no grievances. But the Tang Army was the great enemy of the Yanzhou Army in the past. Therefore, it can be said that it was abandoned and betrayed, but the cession of Yanzhou Mansion to the Shanyang Army was not.

"The Governor of Pontus chose the southeast and went all the way south to take the capital of Luzhou. As for the Songzhou Mansion, it was handed over to the Shanyang Army, and the Governor of Bendu also wanted to see what the Shanyang Army that could defeat the Tang Army was like. Xu Jie thought for a moment and said directly.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "Okay, my Shanyang army will go out of the north road, and after a day's rest, the army will be dispatched." By the way, Xu Dudu, our army's logistics need to pass through the western counties of Jiyin Prefecture, and I don't want any problems to arise. When the time comes, it will affect the overall situation of the conquest and will not be good for everyone. ”

Xu Jie said coldly: "General Li, don't worry, the governor of Pontus is not a person who doesn't know the importance of the city, the cities of the three counties in the west, you can send people to help station, and the defenders of these cities will let you go all the way." ”

Situ Wen felt bad about Zhao Xun's actions from the northwest front, because the western places were all bordering Jizhou. If he and his uncle were worried, then this Shanyang Army would be able to get the covert support of the Xiaoguo Army. It's just to support the Shanyang Army in the battle, if you support its idea of fighting the land of Yanzhou, it will be very bad.

I hope I'm guessing! Regarding the idea that the Shanyang Army is a part of the Xiaoguo Army, Situ Wen would rather guess that he is wrong. After he heard Zhao Xun's idea of dividing his troops to attack, he felt that something was wrong. After Xu Jie said that he would attack from the east road, Situ Wen wanted to block it and let him exchange with the Shanyang army. But in the end, there was no opening.

Situ Wen wanted Xu Jie and Shanyang Jun to swap, only for his purpose. If the Yanzhou army goes south from the west road, then the Shanyang army going south from the east road will be between the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army, and they are not afraid of what tricks they will play. But Xu Jie's choice of the East Road also has his own considerations. The east road to the south is connected to Xuzhou, and the Xuzhou army and the Yanzhou army are allies, and Xu Jie can get help when necessary. And on the west road, with the Xiaoguo army on his side, can't he be careless? Moreover, among the Yanzhou army, many soldiers fled and fled into Jizhou, and Xu Jie had no way to do this. Therefore, this time he chose, Xu Jie attacked from the east road. Situ Wen knew that if he rejected Xu Jie's decision, not only would he not be able to change Xu Jie's decision, but it would also make Xu Jie's dissatisfaction with him.

However, as Zhao Xun said, the Wuwei Army is the great enemy, and everything else can be put aside. Therefore, Situ Wencai did not make his own judgment on the choice of the road. Moreover, this is Xu Jie's first choice, if Situ Wen interjects again, who knows if it will make General Shanyang Jun have any other thoughts about himself, it will not be good.

"Your Excellency...... There's information coming from above! At this moment, a soldier walked quickly outside the door and handed the information in his hand to Situ Wen. Situ Wen was slightly stunned, he didn't know why this guard was so ignorant, and he would bring the above information here at this time. But he didn't say much, but opened it directly and looked at it. When he opened it, Situ Wen couldn't help but chuckle.

"Lord Situ, what is it that makes you so happy?" Since the soldier came in, Zhao Xun had the idea that Situ Wen's face had changed, and he naturally knew that there must be something special in Situ Wen's hand. Otherwise, it wouldn't have made Situ Wen chuckle at this time.

Situ Wen smiled faintly and said, "It's not a big deal?" It was the land of Jiaozhou that was in chaos five days ago. The king of Lingnan County, the general under the command of Zhang Tao, the governor of Jiaozhou, made a rebellion and killed Zhang Tao, the king of Lingnan County, and then the imperial army quelled the rebellion in time, and the Jiaozhou rebels were solved three days ago. King Yong's letter is to use this to encourage us. Second, it is also urging us to solve the Wuwei Army as soon as possible and return the court to the court. ”

When Zhao Xun heard this, he was secretly surprised in his heart, but his face was faint and said: "I thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be a matter of Jiaozhou, no matter how good it is fought there, what does it have to do with us." King Yong really wants to help us, it is better to send reinforcements to come, at the very least, he should also provide us with a batch of grain and grass. The Wu Wei Army is a Wei Army, and the only one who can compare with the Wu Wei Army is the Wei Army. Besides, the major matters of conquest have been handled by the guards. If you say these words of encouragement, you might as well send some money, at least to pay the salaries of the soldiers below. ”

Xu Jie couldn't help but say: "Yes, my Yanzhou government army has raised a lot of taxes for the sake of grain, grass and military salaries, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last long." Lord Situ, shouldn't you get the money you promised? This money is different from grain and grass, and it can still be transported from Jizhou to Yanzhou. ”

Situ Wen's face stiffened slightly, and then he said lightly: "Governor Xu don't worry, I will naturally not fail to do what I promised." It's just that now in the eastern part of Yongzhou, the Qi army in Yuzhou and the Xiaoguo army in the north are patrolling the border, and if they are not careful, there will be nothing. Isn't the Governor afraid that this money will fall into the hands of others? ”

Xu Jie's brows were tightly locked, and he didn't say much for a while. But Zhao Xun still saw a little impatience and anger in Xu Jie's eyes.

After briefly discussing the issue of sending troops, the three of them returned to their residences with their own concerns. The situation discussed today has made all three parties begin to think about their next actions.

"Presumably the lord has already gotten the news from the south!" Zhao Xun returned to the military camp in the north of the city, and Tang Li asked in a deep voice.

"What? We've also received a message from the south? ”

"I received it, but at that time, the lord had just entered the government and discussed the military with Situ Wen and Xu Jie, so his subordinates did not report it. But when the subordinates saw that there was a fast horse and the county government left, they thought that it should be about the information from the south. Tang Li replied. Then he said: "Here is the detailed information of our people's inspection, because Jiaozhou is located in the southernmost place, so there are very few spies sent, and the information obtained is not very detailed." ”

After reading it, Zhao Xun said with a heavy face: "This matter has disrupted my arrangement, I didn't expect that this Jiaozhou Governor, the King of Lingnan County, would be so useless, and he was actually killed by Situ Lei who bribed his subordinates." Jiaozhou fell into the hands of Situ Lei, and it was not good for me and Murong Cheng! Situ Lei is Situ Lei, who turned the situation in the south over with a single blow, and also obtained the sea outlet and sea trade land for the war. Let's wait and see, Murong Cheng should also take the move, but I don't know what his reaction will be, maybe it can affect the land of Xuzhou. ”

"Tang Li, immediately pass the information to Feng Ziming, tell him, and ask him to send someone to contact the Xiaoguo army in Jizhou, and let the Jizhou side support some manpower and grain and grass, and speed up the Yanzhou Mansion."

"Subordinates receive orders! Lord, in addition to the information from the south, there was also information from Youzhou in the north before. As he spoke, he took out another one.

Zhao Xun looked at the results and found that there was no unfavorable situation this time. It was the way Youzhou negotiated the treatment of the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Ministry, because of the repeated sums of the two ministries and the attrition of the two sides of the Xiaoguo Army's northern front, the Secretary for Administration believed that their peace could be accepted. However, only one was accepted, while the other continued to strangle. So, who was accepted into the Xiaoguo Army? The intention of the administrative secretary is that the first to break the capital of the other country will be a subject state of the Xiaoguo Army, and half of the territory of the department can be destroyed. Because this was different from Zhao Xun's original plan, they sent a message to ask.

Zhao Xun immediately replied and allowed him to do so, but he couldn't leave too much time for the two departments in case they were ready to resist. At the same time, before the war between the two ministries, they intensified the encirclement and suppression, reduced the killing of civilians, turned them into slaves, and changed them to civilian household registration after three years of labor for the Xiaoguo army.
