Chapter 557: Chaos 1
"Now, Governor Zhao, how do you want to deal with the situation in front of you?" After a while, Feng Ziming raised his head and asked.
Zhao Xun smiled: "Now, the focus is on you and not me!" You are the governor of Youzhou, another general of the Shanyang Prefecture Army. And I'm still just Li Feng! ”
Feng Ziming took a deep breath, Zhao Xun's words were obvious, he was now just a hidden force underground, not Zhao Xun, the lord of the Xiaoguo Army who was fighting with all the forces in Yanzhou. If the true identity is really leaked, not to mention the Shanyang Mansion Army, even Xu Jie, and even other forces, will attack Zhao Xun first.
"Since it can't be solved internally, let's expand it outward. On the one hand, we asked Ye Xuan of Boping about the battle situation, presumably he knew about the large-scale expansion of the army in the rear, and he would also worry about logistics and supply problems. At that time, it will be clear whether Ye Xuan is also involved or has no idea. On the other hand, let's get in touch with the history of the Shanyang Mansion. Anyway, we are also reinforcements sent by Yanzhou City, even if the position of the general of the government army is not recognized, but this official is also the governor of Yanzhou, and if you ask about the war situation, you still have this right. Hit from the side and ask about the history of the Shanyang Mansion to see his response. Feng Ziming said repeatedly.
"In addition, we need to buy additional grain and grass, war horses, and armor and equipment. Now, in Juye City, we have the most power, and if the Shanyang Mansion government dares to restrict us, we will give them some color. Feng Ziming's face turned cold.
"Lord Feng is really extraordinary, and in a short period of time, he can sort out the priorities. Just do what Lord Feng said, all of these need to be done under Lord Feng, preferably an acquaintance. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"By the way, let me ask one last question, Governor Zhao, aren't you afraid that this official will reveal your identity? You must know that the Xiaoguo Army is the enemy of all forces, and they definitely want to deal with you quickly. Feng Ziming looked at Zhao Xun and asked.
Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "Even if you leak it, the governor of Pontus can get out of it." It's not that the governor of Pontus boasts, but with the ability of your Yanzhou army, you can't help the governor of Pontus, and you can't catch the governor of Pontus. If I really can't get out, at that time, the Xiaoguo army will be pressed by the whole army, and at that time, it doesn't matter if I have the Xiaoguo army, the northern Zhuhu will also come to the edict. Tang Army, Yanzhou Army, Xuzhou Army, do they dare to fight with me? Under the iron hoof, the land of Yanzhou will not be so peaceful. Zhao Xun said coldly, and at the same time knocked Feng Ziming.
"The army is moving south? You're killing! Feng Ziming heard it and said angrily. If Zhao Xun is really trapped, at that time, the Xiaoguo Army and the Beihu Army will not talk about military law and military discipline.
"I love Jiangshan, but I love myself even more! In some people's words, that is, when I die, let it flood the sky! If even your life is threatened, what is there to talk about? Dredging rivers for the benefit of the people? Without Pontus, do you think it's possible? Zhao Xun said with a rebellious face.
"Alas......" Feng Ziming could only sigh and was speechless.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Now, I'm going to arrange what is in front of me! Stimulated by Zhao Xun's words, Feng Ziming was reluctant to say more. Get up immediately and arrange the follow-up.
"Lord, will Feng Ziming ......" Watching Feng Ziming leave, Wei Dong whispered.
Zhao Xun knew that Wei Dong was worried that Feng Ziming would leak his identity. He smiled and said, "It's okay, in fact, when he was in Yanzhou City, he had already guessed the identity of the governor of Pontus, and he had already determined it after we expelled the thousand unruly guys and officers and recruited our people into the army." Since they had betrayed us to Xu Jie at that time, now, he would not and would not dare. ”
"Of course, we can't hold it up, so let's immediately give an order to the Jizhou guard general, the military envoy Li Huaiyuan, to let the army in the south of Jizhou move a little to the south."
Wei Dong said with a smile: "The lord wants to contain the attention and strength of the Tang army." ”
"Well, the Tang army occupies the two northern provinces of Yanzhou, and now, it is likely to be the land of the three provinces, and the momentum is good. Liangzhou Mansion, he can take it temporarily, but Shanyang Mansion definitely cannot. As soon as the Jizhou army moved, Tang Xian had to be on guard no matter what he said. As long as our army does not officially attack south, the Xuzhou Army, the Wuwei Army, and the Yanzhou Prefecture Army will not react much. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"In addition, we will scatter our people among the counties of Sanyang Prefecture. Especially in the south bordering Yanzhou Mansion, if there is any movement, report immediately! ”
…………
Just when Zhao Xun and Feng Ziming were dealing with the recruitment of troops in Shanyang Mansion, Ye Xuan of Boping, Liangzhou Mansion, was also in trouble. Boping is only 300 miles away from Juye, and the road is quite smooth. But what worried Ye Xuan still happened. Logistics, finally something went wrong.
Before leaving, the captains said that the problem was fulfilled, and Shanyang Mansion did not prepare tens of thousands of troops of food and grass for a while. In the original plan, Ye Xuan didn't need to bring all the people of Shanyang Mansion, because before, thousands of people had already gone north. Now, there are 15,000 people in Boping City, and there are also 15,000 people outside the city, who are horns against each other to resist the Tang army. Before the two sides officially engaged in a large-scale battle, Ye Xuan's grain and grass were already insufficient. Of course, the main reason is that the food and grass supply for the soldiers in Boping City also needs to be provided by Shanyang Mansion.
"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish! What does the history of the Sanyang Mansion say? Why hasn't the food and grass needed by our army been prepared? Didn't General Ben say that special things are done in special times? If you can't recruit it, won't you use the name of the government to temporarily second? The grain merchants of Shanyang Mansion don't know the ordinary, can't they even get together the grain? Also, why haven't the arrows, armor, and other things I asked them to prepare have been delivered yet? Is this also insufficient? In the handsome tent, after listening to the quartermaster's return, Ye Xuan was furious.
The shortage of grain and grass was indeed expected, so he also greeted the assassin of Shanyang Mansion and Hu Zhi, the commander who stayed behind. In case of shortfall, it will be forcibly requisitioned in the name of the official, and compensation will be made after the war. If they were really defeated, they would not even be able to save their lives, let alone the wealth of their families. However, the military supplies such as arrows and armor did not arrive, which made Ye Xuan angry. The passage between this place and Juye was not blocked by the Tang Army, why hasn't this thing arrived yet? In addition to replacing the damaged ones of his own subordinates, these things also had to be provided to the defending army, so many of these things had already been transported from the Yanzhou Prefectures and stored in the rear of the northern front, that is, in Juye City. The fact that these supplies had not yet arrived had already seriously affected the conduct of the war.
More than a dozen generals were silent, and even the coach didn't know about such things, let alone them. Although it was nearly ten days after arriving outside Boping, and the big battle did not start, there were indeed many small-scale firefights. The generals who were still full of hope and wanted to make meritorious contributions were dumbfounded at the moment.
Because of dozens of battles, they were not a little worse than the Tang army. Originally, they had contempt and disdain for the defeat of the Liangzhou Mansion Army and the reinforcements that were defeated in the previous northward battle, thinking that the other party was incompetent, and if it was themselves, they would never do this. But now it seems that if he is a general in Liangzhou Mansion, or the first time to support, I am afraid that he will be no different from them.
The combat power is not good, the armor has insufficient replenishment, not to mention the grain and grass. Although it has not yet reached the point of food shortage, if Shanyang Mansion still delays like this, or if there are any changes in the Tang Army, the consequences will not be very good.
"What? Scared? General Ben remembered that on the day of his departure, everyone patted their chests and shouted, "You want to teach the Tang Army a lesson, and let the people and civil officials of Shanyang Mansion see your heroic appearance." What now? Look at you, a little loss, it's like this. Don't forget, the Tang army was defeated by the Xiaoguo army in Qingzhou and was expelled south. Are you not as good as this mere defeat? Seeing that his subordinates were in a downturn, Ye Xuan suddenly said angrily.
Seeing that his subordinates' faces had only slightly improved, Ye Xuan was also secretly relieved. Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't you fight with Feng Ziming? If I hadn't earned it, then he would be in my place right now. Lord Du already has doubts about him, even if he wins, he will not be able to escape. Failure, not to mention. Ye Xuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, but no matter what, the matter had already been done, and it was irreparable. Now, he, Ye Xuan, is the commander of the 30,000 government army, controlling the whole army and the Tang army. At this time, Ye Xuan found that there were too few generals under his command who could fight well, and there were too many things he needed to worry about. It would be good if Feng Ziming could cooperate with me, a civil and political talent like him would definitely be able to handle the miscellaneous affairs of the military in an orderly manner.
"Quartermaster, what's the reply from Shanyang Mansion?"
The quartermaster said in a deep voice: "General Hui, there is not enough food and grass, as we all know, the history of the assassin of Shanyang Mansion is also explained in this way, and Yan is still stepping up the collection." As for the arrows, clothes and armor, Shanyang Mansion Assassin Shiyan said that this matter was the responsibility of the left-behind Commander Hu Zhi, and he could not interfere. ”
"What? When did the barracks materials of our army be handed over from the munitions depot to Brother Hu Zhi? Hu Duwei just stayed behind to monitor...... Just in case, how can you take over all the munitions on the front line? Ye Xuan was stunned, and immediately felt a little bad. If Hu Zhi takes over, it should be more accelerated than not so far. What is this Hu Zhi doing?
Ye Xuan knew very well that although Hu Zhi was not as high as his own position, the other party was more important than himself in the heart of the governor.
"Hu Zhi came to Shanyang Mansion with me this time, isn't it for Feng Ziming, nor for defending against the Tang Army, but for something else?" Ye Xuan's brows tightened. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Hu Zhi and Feng Ziming got together. But he knew that with Hu Zhi's loyalty to the governor, he would not and would not dare.
The more he thought about Ye Xuan, the more he had to have problems, he was the one who wanted to kill him in front of Feng Ziming, and it was also him who left him to monitor Feng Ziming's movements, and now there was a problem with the military quartermaster again...... Ye Xuan's heart was suddenly cold, and he felt that he seemed to be in a certain situation.
