This battle broke through Baixian in one fell swoop, allowing Yanzhou Mansion to return to the hands of Yan State completely, in other words, it was completely in the hands of Zhao Xun. Since the Yan army left behind in Bai County was an outcast, the casualties caused by the Huolin army were not strict.

Finally, after the war, a total of 3,300 corpses were found, more than 800 people were captured, and about 200 people escaped from the army.

The casualties of the Huolin army themselves are not large, only more than 400, and this time it is the heavy armor battalion that has made a great contribution, along the siege tower, and occupies the head of the city in one fell swoop, so that the Yan army is helpless against these guys who can't cut in, so that the cavalry can break through the last resistance of the Yan army.

Zhao Xun was quite satisfied with the soldier's appearance this time, at least he didn't retreat or escape, at least he achieved the goal in his heart, it seems that the military posture is still very effective. Zhao Xun thought to himself.

However, the news that Situ Liang finally reported also made Zhao Xun angry, and the prisoners and guards who were originally going to be subdued, under Zhao Xun's anger, were all killed, and a Jingguan was erected in the north of the city, and a tower with thousands of heads erected was enough to deter some bad guys. Because of this, the Huolin Army implemented the new order in Bai County very quickly, and those big landlords also cooperated very well to return the encroached land, in addition, they also sent a lot of food to reward the Huolin Army, and Zhao Xun also accepted them one by one, just to relieve the victims in Bai County.

Zhao Xun handed over all the government affairs of Bai County to Situ Liang and Zhong Wen, and asked the guards to assist them with all their might. This Zhong Wen is a scholar who applied for the post a month ago, and has been a small official for a period of time, and then because the officials are dissatisfied with his unsociability, he finds an excuse to expel him, Zhao Xun saw that he was serious about his work, and after the investigation of the Shadow Guard, there was no problem, and he was arranged to Bai County to serve as the new county commander. Although Zhao Xun is not in accordance with the rules in doing this, who cares?

Just when Zhao Xun recovered Bai County, Chang'an, the capital of Yan Kingdom, also caused a huge sensation. There are two reasons, one is that the Yan army suddenly attacked and occupied the land of Sifu. The second is that the five prefectures of Haizhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou, Haozhou, and Shouzhou were occupied by the rebels, and the entire southeast of Xuzhou was trapped! Compared with the north, Xuzhou is far more important than Youzhou. Five days ago, when the news of the attack on the four prefectures of Youzhou reached Chang'an City, the civil and military officials discussed a lot, some advocated counterattack, some advocated holding the army, some advocated peace, and some even advocated abandoning the cold four prefectures in the north. But neither the king of Qi nor the left minister made a decision on this. As for the indignant ordinary people and the inflamed scholars, they have long been forgotten by these people in power.

But half of Xuzhou fell, and suddenly the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, because Xuzhou and the rebels fought four of the sixteen standing guards of the Yan State, the left and right Shenwu Wei and the left and right Xiaoguo Wei, also known as the Shenwu Army and the Xiaoguo Army, the two armies totaled 100,000 people, plus the local government army in Xuzhou, how could there be more than 150,000 people, even if there was empty salary, 100,000 people were indispensable, but this 100,000 people were defeated by the rebels, and almost all the troops were wiped out. This is also the biggest event in the twenty-first year of Xuanwu, and it is also unprecedented, and it is inexplicably defeated. As for the matter of Youzhou, it has long been put on the back of my mind.

This is an extremely luxurious house, with a deep courtyard and a variety of interiors. It is indeed very chic, the buildings and pavilions are scattered, and the style is also very chic and elegant. The depth of field is rich, the personality is distinct, the rockery cave is unique, and the grass and trees have a unique charm. This is the mansion of Zuo Xiang Situ Lei, and there are many people at the moment, and they are constantly coming and going. I met some maids and maids along the way, and when I saw someone coming, they all bowed their heads and retreated to the side of the road.

"Master Pei! Do you know why Lord Zuo summoned us? ”

The person who is called Master Pei is a middle-aged man who is close to forty years old, with a wisp of beard, and when he heard this, he frowned and said: "What else can I do, it's not the war in Xuzhou, don't talk more about this matter than in private, and I will know it freely after a while." ”

Zuo Xiang Situ Lei, in the eyes of most people, is definitely a powerful minister, and can even be said to be a traitor, in order to achieve his goal, I don't know how many opponents have been eliminated.

But all those who meet Situ Lei for the first time will feel that he is different from what they imagined, and he is by no means the kind of villain who is overwhelming and has a treacherous light in his eyes. On the contrary, it makes people feel that Situ Lei is just an ordinary old man, just like the old man on the street, but different things have a little more extravagance.

"I've seen Lord Zuo Xiang!" In the whole house, there are more than a dozen civil and military officials, all of whom are in important positions.

"Well, sit down!" Situ Lei sat on the main seat and said softly.

"Thank you, Lord Zuoxiang."

Situ Lei glanced at everyone lightly and said, "Presumably you also know that a month and a half ago, the Yan army occupied the land of the four mansions of Youzhou, and the King of Qi seemed to launch a counterattack. In this regard, you all understand what King Qi means. ”

"Back to the left minister, the king of Qi just wants to use this to grasp the military power of the sixteen guards, and we must not promise him." One stood up and said.

The rest of the people echoed in unison, but one did not speak.

Situ Lei glanced at the man and said softly, "Zhou Ru, do you have a different opinion?" ”

Zhou Ru got up and said, "Xia Guan thinks that now is a good time to promise him?" ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Situ Lei said quietly.

Zhou Ru said: "First, in the past, there was a rebellion in Xuzhou, and it was the Zuo Xiangmen who led the troops to quell the rebellion. Second, in the first battle of Xuzhou, the Shenwu Army and the Xiaoguo Army were defeated, and almost the entire army was exhausted. Speaking of this, everyone in the room couldn't help but look at Situ Lei.

The people who led the battle this time were all from the Zuo Xiang Party, and they were also Situ Lei's clansmen, although Situ Lei used the identity of the Zuo Xiang to make a scapegoat, but no one kept mentioning the defeat in front of him.

Situ Lei's face did not change in the slightest, and he did not see any anger.

Zhou Ru continued: "Third, we give them the right, but not to the north, but to clear the rebellion in Xuzhou, compared to the distant and difficult to control Youzhou, Xuzhou in the southeast is the most suitable for them to put down the rebellion." Whether it is Qingzhou or Nanyangzhou, it is not a place where the Qi Wang Party can enter and exit at will. ”

Situ Lei laughed and said: "Yes, that's right, everyone, tomorrow I will go to the court, and let the Qi Wang Party lead the army to quell the rebels in Xuzhou." ”

"Yes, Zuo Xiang-sama."

"How is the matter of Youzhou arranged?" Pei Yuan, the squire of the military department, asked.

Situ Lei chuckled: "Since we have lost it, let's lose it, we haven't lost it." More importantly, we no longer have enough money and food to fight on two fronts. Xuzhou's rebellion has no roots, but the Yan army has the support of millions of clansmen. Let the governor of Youzhou stick to the place and not lose an inch of land. ”

On the morning of the second day, the left prime minister's party was unusual, and did not oppose the Qi Wang's party's request for military power, and agreed in unison, but the result made the king of Qi a little annoyed. The military power to be wanted is not the original, go north to Youzhou, counterattack the Yan army, but to quell the rebellion in Xuzhou. Ben Xiang dragged on for a period of time by counterattacking the Yan Yan army to expand his influence in Youzhou, but he didn't expect to be given an army by Situ Liang instead. But the holy decree has been issued, and the king of Qi has no choice but to be ordered to let the Wuwei army and the Shence army prepare grain and grass, and open Xuzhou again to quell the rebellion.

Zhao Xun didn't know about the disputes in the imperial court and the affairs of Xuzhou, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart, and his attention was now focused on Yanzhou Mansion. After recovering Baixian, Zhao Xun focused his attention on the surrounding areas.

"You said, we have recovered Yanzhou Mansion for more than a month, why haven't the three southeastern provinces seen any movement, the day before yesterday we occupied Baixian again, and the three southeastern provinces have not made the slightest move. You say, "What do they mean by that?" ”

Xue Lei said disapprehantly: "My lord, is it that they don't understand our situation, so they don't dare to move lightly?" ”

Zhao asked: "There is this possibility, but we have already recovered the two southern counties a month ago, and they should also know something about it in a month, and there should be no moves." ”

Lin Luo thought for a while and said: "Could it be that the Yan army invaded the south, each with its own territory, and the Yan army of the three prefectures may not have us in their eyes, but Yanzhou Mansion is the territory of the Yan Ya Bo Du department, so they ...... it"

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "There is some truth in your statement, it may be like this at the beginning, but it shouldn't be like this in the future, after we defeat the Yan Ya Bo Du Division, Yanzhou Mansion will no longer be the division of forces they have agreed on." There should be other reasons for this. ”

Zhao Xiong also said: "Could it be that the Yan army has occupied the land of Sanfu, and their rule is not stable, and they may not have adapted to this system of the Han people, who have always been accustomed to the tribes?" ”

Situ Liang shook his head and said: "There is this possibility, but it is by no means the main reason, don't forget, the people of the Yan Dynasty have been occupying the land of the three eastern provinces for three years, and they should be adapted." ”

"Report ...... The messenger of Yanzhou City, asking to see your lordship. Outside the door, the guards reported to the battalion.

"Could it be that there is something wrong in Yanzhou City?" After Zhao Xun muttered to himself, he hurriedly said, "Let him come in." ”

"The sentry commander of the Fufeng Battalion greets your lord."

"Hurry up, is there something wrong with Yanzhou City?"

"Back to the adult's words, Yanzhou City is fine, and when I learned that the adult recovered Bai County, the people of Yanzhou City were lively for a whole day, and they all said that the adult was the savior of Yanzhou Mansion."

Zhao Xun shook his head with a wry smile.

"My lord, it was Li Xinyan Miss Li's family who came and said that they wanted to meet the adults and discuss something."

Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll leave immediately." ”

"It seems that the reason why the Yan army does not dare to move has been found, whether it can quickly counterattack the Yan army in the three southeastern provinces, maybe it depends on this person who wants to see me."

"Lin Luo, the Zhongzi battalion stayed in Bai County, and the two battalions of Zhao Fei and Qin You of the Right Mansion Army also stayed here, assist you, give me a good look at Bai County, and don't let the Yan army occupy it again."

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will firmly guard Bai County."

"Zhong Wen, the government affairs of Baixian County will be handed over to you, and the city wall will continue to be heightened."

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely govern Bai County well."

"Okay, Bai County will be handed over to you. Pass the order down and return to the army! ”
