Chapter 552: Opposite
Feng Ziming was also entangled after returning to the account, but in fact, Xu Jie didn't know that this was the case. He had already found out that this Li Feng was related to Xiaoguo Jun, and Xu Jie hoped that he would not fall for the other party and let him dispose of the other party himself.
"Deal with each other? Hehe......" Feng Ziming smiled wryly. He believed that as long as he meant this, he was afraid that before he could start the operation, his people would die in the barracks. He Feng Ziming really underestimated Li Feng's methods, and in a short period of time, he not only made the soldiers train hard without complaining, but also won the hearts of the soldiers. Whether it is raising military salaries, paying salaries in real amounts, or purchasing livestock by themselves, and improving the living standards of the soldiers, they have greatly bought the hearts of the soldiers. Especially these new officers are very grateful to this guy. And himself, completely thrown aside.
"Whoever can keep the peace of this Yanzhou land, you can serve whomever you want!" Feng Ziming thought of what his wife said after listening to the difficult questions he was struggling with.
"That's it, don't worry about it for now, let's resist the attack of the Tang Army first!" Feng Ziming sighed, tore apart the military order he kept, and threw it aside.
No matter how slow it was, the army still continued to advance, and it took Zhao Xun more than ten days to arrive on the eight-day journey, until the battle report of Liangzhou Mansion arrived again.
In the military tent, Feng Ziming looked at Zhao Xun with a gloomy face, waiting for his opinion. This military report was very direct, Liaocheng, one of the last two counties of Liangzhou Prefecture, was captured by the Tang army again, and it was broken with the assistance of 5,000 Shanyang Mansion reinforcements to defend the city. may have seen the strength of the Tang army, and the army of Shanyang Mansion and the army of Boping City, the last county of Liangzhou Prefecture, were a little unable to hold on. Xiang Feng Ziming sent an urgent letter for help.
"Hmph...... We arrived so many days late, why didn't the governor of Shanyang Mansion ignore it? Why do you ask us for help today? Zhao Xun said with a sneer.
Feng Ziming paused slightly and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhao Xun sneered: "Without him, either the governor of Shanyang Mansion doesn't want to press another mountain on his head." Or, it's Xu Jie's other people in Shanyang Mansion, and he doesn't want you to become big in Shanyang Mansion. ”
"No......" Feng Ziming shook his head bitterly.
"Won't? Really, won't? Why do we, no, it should be you, don't respect the military order, but Xu Jie doesn't have any follow-up means and reactions? Does he ignore you? Your 5,000 people are the reinforcements to rescue Liangzhou Mansion, and you are also the one who supervised and commanded the Shanyang Mansion army on his behalf. Are you messing around here, and he didn't react at all? Do you think this is possible? Zhao Xun said coldly.
Fengzi was silent, and his face was calm. Perhaps, he already knew that such a thing would happen, not to mention Xu Jie, even if he sat in Xu Jie's seat, it would be like this.
Zhao Xun saw that Feng Ziming didn't speak, and said in a deep voice: "My people tell me, the current commander of the Shanyang Mansion Army is a person from Xu Jie, called Ye Xuan, you must be familiar with it." He is the current commander of the Shanyang Mansion Army, and you are excluded. But it's a pity that this Ye Xuan lived up to Xu Jie's trust, and in the battle of Liaocheng, he was defeated and lost! Now I'm in a hurry and want to ask you for help. ”
"Then speed up the new army! No matter how late it is, Boping City will not be able to hold it, at that time, the entire line of Liangzhou Mansion will be lost, and the war will spread to Daoshanyang Mansion. Feng Ziming said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun glanced at Feng Ziming and said, "Accelerating the new army, naturally there is no problem, but the question now is, how are you going to see the matter of the commander of the Shanyang Mansion Army." Just our 5,000 people, and tens of thousands of Tang Army? Don't think we're all immortals who can't be killed. If you want to keep Boping City, or even protect Shanyang Mansion, you must get the position of the commander of the army of Shanyang Mansion. Do you understand? ”
The corners of Feng Ziming's eyes shrank, and he said, "Do you want to take down Ye Xuan and seize power?" ”
Zhao Xun laughed and said coldly: "Seize power? It's okay if he doesn't seize power, as long as he can ensure that the government army can fight the Tang army with all its might. Otherwise, not to mention the loss of Boping City, Shanyang Mansion will not be able to be saved. Think for yourself! The big tent is not only something that we can do with 5,000 people, nor is it just something that the government and the army can do unilaterally, but also needs the support of the whole government, although you are a civilian official, but you are also from the Governor's Mansion, you won't even understand this! ”
Feng Ziming gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, as long as you can hold Shanyang Mansion and resist the Tang Army, the commander of Shanyang Mansion, I will take it." I will never interfere with what you want to do, but you must ensure the stability of Sanyang Mansion. ”
Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about this." I know how to fight a war, and I know how to fight it well. How? Don't you have faith in me? ”
Feng Ziming was dumbfounded for a while, yes, who is the other party, and the people of the Xiaoguo Army will let their boss fight for their lives here?
In half a month, the more than 5,500 government troops were a little different from the beginning. Among them, not to mention anything else, it is that there are more than 1,000 soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army's personal guard battalion, which is not comparable to ordinary soldiers. In addition, the mental outlook of the non-commissioned officers who have undergone strict requirements for military regulations and military discipline is also very different from before. Of course, this is also related to higher and undeductible salaries. But in any case, they can now completely defeat themselves with a thousand or five thousand people.
Despite this, Zhao Xun was not optimistic about them. Compared with the Tang Army, they are still far behind, not to mention the government army of Shanyang Mansion.
At the beginning of April, Zhao Xun and Feng Ziming drove into Juye County with more than 5,500 reinforcements. Here, it is the place where the army of Shanyang Mansion gathers, and it is also the important city of Shanyang Prefecture. This time, the Tang army attacked, and the Shanyang Prefecture army converged here and prepared to go north to rescue. In addition, it is not far from the last two counties of Liangzhou Prefecture.
…………
Juye is a large county with a large population and abundant products, and it is also a relatively wealthy place in Yanzhou. The financial revenue of the state government has always been very good, and it is the seat of the Shanyang Prefecture, so the successive Assassins and Governors have tried their best to create a comfortable and luxurious living environment for themselves. Inside, there are mountains and rivers, pavilions, pavilions, everything is available, and there is even an inner lake.
Of course, now this Thorn History Mansion has nothing to do with the Thorn History of Shanyang Mansion. Since the start of the war, after Xu Jie's and Yanzhou government troops faced each other, the history of Shanyang Mansion was suppressed by Gao Qi, the commander of the government army. It should be said that Xu Jie's government army system is higher than the civilian system, so there is no way, who let the government and military governor be the master of Yanzhou.
Now, the master of this Assassin Mansion is not the commander of the Shanyang Mansion, but the commander Ye Xuan sent by Xu Jie.
After stationing the army in the barracks, Feng Ziming took the reinforcement general Zhao Xun and more than a dozen guards, and followed the greetings to the Assassin's Mansion.
"Lord Feng, in Yanzhou City, who has the highest official position between this Ye Xuan and you?" Zhao Xun asked lightly.
"Mine!" Feng Ziming said with an ugly face.
"Huh...... This Ye Xuan is really powerful, the military generals and colonels of the district government dare to let Shangguan stoop to come in person, and he doesn't know how to greet him in person! Zhao Xun said with a sneer. The person sent by Ye Xuan, who was following Feng Ziming, listened to it, and his face was embarrassed.
Feng Ziming smiled: "It's okay, it may be because of the tension on the front line!" ”
"Intense fighting on the front? So nervous that you don't even have a little etiquette? Nervous to the point of defeat! Stupid pig! Zhao Xun still said coldly, without the slightest concern for Ye Xuan's people who followed him.
Ye Xuan's guards took Feng Ziming past the three vermilion lacquer gates and entered the council hall directly, however, they did not stop in the council hall, but instead bypassed the courtyard behind the government hall, entered a connected courtyard, and finally passed through a narrow corridor and entered the back garden. Finally, I came to a small courtyard, but I saw that there were green bamboos and strange rocks, and the environment was very elegant.
After entering the courtyard gate, Zhao Xun found that there were already six or seven people staying here, and a table of wine was placed in the middle of the courtyard.
"Captain Yedu!" After Feng Ziming entered the courtyard, he frowned and said.
"Lord Wind is here!" The middle-aged man who was sitting in the main seat in the middle of the first and thirty years, with a white face and beard, stood up and greeted with a smile: "Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is the governor of the Governor's Mansion, Lord Fengzi Mingfeng!" ”
"I've seen Lord Wind!" The other six or seven people saluted in unison and said.
"Lord Feng, you also said that Captain Ye was busy with military affairs and had no time to greet Shangguan! I see, this is really a busy military business! The front is defeated, but the rear is eating and drinking! At this moment, Zhao Xun said with a sneer.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Ziming's face became more and more gloomy, and the faces of Ye Xuan and the six or seven people around him changed constantly.
"Captain Ye, why are you here?" Feng Ziming didn't say much, nor was he polite to the other party, and asked directly.
After Ye Xuan stared at Zhao Xun fiercely, he smiled and said in a deep voice: "On the order of the capital superintendent, come to rectify the army of Shanyang Mansion and resist the Tang army going south!" ”
"Oh? Are you under the orders of the Governor? But why is it that when I set out, the military order given to me by the governor was the same? Feng Ziming sneered and threw the official document in his hand on the banquet.
"This ...... This one...... I don't know! He hesitated at first, but finally turned straight and said in a deep voice. Speaking of which, Feng Ziming was officially dispatched, and he was just used by Xu Jie to balance Feng Ziming, of course, there was no clear document in his hand.
"Don't know? What about your military orders? Let this official take a look, I also want to know why the Governor sent two commanders of the Shanyang Mansion Army! You say, "From now on, will you listen to you?" Feng Ziming said with a sneer.
If you don't have an official document in your hand, how can you get it? But he is not afraid of Feng Ziming, although Feng Ziming is his superior, but now, he has Xu Jie's secret order in hand. The reason why he didn't greet him in person this time, but let his guards greet him, was to give Feng Ziming a dismount and let him know that this Shanyang Mansion was in charge of himself.
In this banquet, there were seven people, one was the assassin of Shanyang Mansion, who was in charge of the logistics of the army and was also an official in charge of civil affairs. The remaining six people, one of whom is the military commander of Sanyang Prefecture, has now lost his rights to Takasaki. The rest were the lieutenants of the government army, five captains, commanding the government army of 15,000 people in Shanyang Prefecture. It is also all the soldiers except for the remaining government troops in each county.
"General Ben is the captain of the army under the command of the Governor, and he directly obeys the orders of the Governor. Lord Feng, you don't have the right to check General Ben's military orders! As for the Shanyang Mansion Army, there is General Ben in command to resist the Tang Army going south. Ye Xuan's face turned cold and said in a cold voice.
"Good! Good! Good! In that case, the official has nothing to say. This official will report the situation here to the Governor! Since you said that you want to command the army of Shanyang Prefecture, then you should be in command! General Lee, let's go, it seems, we are redundant here. Obviously, they were able to resist the attack of the Tang army. Feng Ziming said with a smile in anger.
Zhao Xun responded to the order: "Yes, my lord, the last general will take the order!" ”
After Feng Ziming finished speaking, he turned around and left, followed by Zhao Xun. At the end, he turned his head and said: "Be careful, the Tang army has already broken one city, and it is not difficult to break another city." If the Tang army is killed in the territory of Shanyang Mansion, hehe...... You have a lot to do! Let's go! ”
Looking at the departing Feng Ziming, Ye Xuan's face was pale, and after a while, he hit the table with a punch, and said angrily: "It's too arrogant!" It's so damning! ”
Back at the barracks, Feng Ziming had a gloomy face. Zhao Xunman sat opposite him indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "How is it?" Any other ideas? ”
"Xu Jie actually took the safety of this Shanyang Mansion and the northern defense line as nothing? He won't let it, and don't blame me for being unjust! Li Feng, tell me what you think! Feng Ziming said with a gloomy face.
Zhao Xun smiled coldly and said, "My thoughts? I don't have an idea, I can't take over the army of Shanyang Prefecture, we can't do anything. You don't think that just our 5,500 people can kill more than 30,000 Tang troops. Although the opponent's strikers are only 8,000 people, with our current combat strength, there are 15,000 fewer people, and it is difficult to resist! What's more, there is an unknown person on our side, who knows if this Ye Xuan will give us a blow in the back. Don't kill the enemy when the time comes, but be killed by your own people. ”
"Do you just watch them lose their defenses step by step?" Feng Ziming said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun said coldly: "Lost the line of defense? Is that what we'd like to see? So you say, what can we do? Earlier, you were asked to control Xu Jie's in Yanzhou City and take over the Yanzhou Mansion Army, you don't dare, now it's too late to say this! Wait and see, when they can't resist it, it's time for us to play. ”
The Thorn Mansion, the original residence of the Thorn History, has now become Ye Xuan's mansion.
"If you should have known, you shouldn't have done this. Now that Feng Ziming has left us in a fit of rage, we can't resist the onslaught of this Tang army! Opposite Ye Xuan, a middle-aged man said in a muffled voice.
Ye Xuan's face changed, and he said in a sullen voice: "Do you think General Ben doesn't know?" I just want to give him a dismount and then give him a pick up in the back garden. Who would have expected such a reaction from him? ”
"General, you are too reckless! Don't you know Feng Ziming? He, a native of Yanzhou, loves the people, so he naturally values Shanyang Mansion and even Liangzhou Mansion more seriously. If you don't greet him, he can understand that you are busy with military affairs. You're good, you have to go toe-to-toe with him. Now what? Lord Governor means to let the wind sound in front, and we will be in the back, monitoring in the shadows. If Feng Ziming had no dissent, he would naturally be in charge of the defense of Shanyang Mansion. If there is a different heart, we are killing it from the side. But now, we have become the people on the surface, he patted his ass with Feng Ziming, and he could walk away. And there is also a rhetoric, there are already people in Shanyang Mansion in command. The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Ye Xuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "General Ben knows all this. Didn't you see how arrogant the suspicious general next to Feng Ziming was today, and he didn't put me down in his eyes. I wanted to give Feng Ziming a little color to see, who knows......"
Sighing, Ye Xuan continued: "Okay, He Zhi, don't talk about these useless things. The Governor sent us here, not just me, what should I do now? ”
He Zhi shook his head and said: "I don't know, until now, either I will be hard to the end and resist the attack of the Tang Army, naturally there will be nothing to do, and I will make great contributions." In addition, you can only bow your head and admit your mistakes and make amends to the other party! ”
Ye Xuan's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Apocalypse? Phew! Don't! I don't believe that a civilian official can do something, and we generals can't do it. If I admit my mistake tomorrow, how can I still get mixed up in the Yanzhou Mansion army. General Ben decided to personally command the government army and resist the Tang army. I want to be a general worthy of the name, and become the first military general under the command of the governor, not this kind of fake general. ”
Hu Zhi said with a smile: "Since Brother Ye has decided to sit down, I won't say much about my brother." Having said that, Feng Ziming is just a civilian official, so he can also resist the Tang Army? This time I came to help, and it took half a month to travel in eight days. If he is asked to command the army of Shanyang Prefecture, I don't know what the result will be. There are not many people who have more than 5,000 people, and there are not many people who have less than 5,000 people. ”
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "Brother, don't underestimate him, it's not easy for him to be reused by Lord Dudu." It's just that you say that he is not good at military affairs, and this is true. Let him be in charge of the government affairs and logistics of Shanyang Mansion, then absolutely no one can beat him. However, now that everything is over, the offense has been offended, and there is no room for maneuver. In a moment, I will summon the Governor to speak of the arrogance of this wind. ”
"Not only that, but I also have to get a few captains of Shanyang Mansion and Lord Thorn Shi to sign it!" Hu Zhi continued.
Ye Xuan smiled: "You're right, let them report it jointly, I won't believe it, can Lord Governor blame us?" In addition, the 5,000 people who are here must also find a way to deal with it, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”
Hu Zhi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If this is not the case, give them an order, let them obey the general's military orders, and go to the front line to fight." Otherwise, logistical problems and military supplies, figure it out yourself. The military salary must also be collected in Yanzhou City, and we here only distribute salaries and materials to the soldiers who obey the order. ”
Ye Xuan laughed and said, "Okay! Good! Good! That's a great plan! If you don't obey military orders, you still want to get supplies, how is it possible. Sue them, if it is given to them, but they do not fight, the rest of the army soldiers will not accept it. ”
