Although I don't know what the details are from Shanyang Mansion, several captains know very well that they should be related to Xu Jie, Xuzhou Army and Wuwei Army.

On June 6, Xu Jie's and Xuzhou armies launched a surprise attack on the Wuwei army, operating simultaneously in Yanzhou Mansion, Chenliu Mansion, and Xingyang Mansion, and the two armies joined forces to launch a strong attack on the Wuwei Army.

In Yanzhou Mansion, Ding Qiang, the general of the Wuwei Army, had long been on guard because of Xu Jie's vacillation. If Xu Jie's actions were in Yanzhou City, there was a chance that he would fail, but it was the Xuzhou army who had always been unpopular with people who killed Ding Qiang. Although he failed to kill Ding Qiang on the spot, he was seriously injured and almost failed to return to the barracks.

When the Xuzhou army moved, the Yanzhou army in the city also immediately moved and attacked the Wuwei army camp around Yanzhou City. I have to say that the Wuwei Army is still stronger than the Yanzhou Army, and after Ding Qiang was ambushed, he could still defend the camp.

The offensive and defensive battle lasted for more than three days, and more than half of the more than 13,000 armed guards were lost, but the Yanzhou army also left nearly 10,000 corpses. All of a sudden, the two sides were at a stalemate in the camp of the armed guards outside Yanzhou. Although the Wuwei Army gave up control of Yanzhou City and retreated back to the barracks, the Wuwei Army also built several strong and dangerous military camps.

"It's so useless, prepared versus unprepared, it's ...... to be able to fight like this on your own territory" Guan Lin couldn't help muttering. Although it is separated from the Yanzhou Mansion Army, after all, it is also a person from the land of Yanzhou, and now the Wuwei Army is considered an invader, so it is naturally biased towards the Yanzhou Mansion Army.

Lu Yu shook his head and said: "It's not that the Yanzhou government army is useless, but that the Wuwei army itself is stronger than our government army, the treatment is good, and the armor and equipment are also excellent." The most important thing is that after preparing for so long, the fool also knows what the hell Xu Jie has in mind. Peace talks? It's been four months since the peace talks, but there has been no result yet, and Ding Qiang is still unprepared, so he can't be the general of the Wuwei Army. ”

"Could it be that Xu Jie and the Xuzhou army are not afraid that Murong Cheng, the king of Qi, will mobilize a large army from Yuzhou and Yangzhou to fight? At that time, not to mention the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Mansion Army, even if the Tang Army is added, I am afraid that it will also be at a disadvantage. Li Guochang said coldly.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "They are not afraid, Situ Lei lifted the Praetorian Guard, and exiled all the people from the imperial party and the non-left party above the court. Or he was dismissed. ”

"What a Situ Lei, he easily attacked Murong Cheng with the help of the Xuzhou Army and Xu Jie, and at the same time took full control of the imperial court when Murong Cheng had no time to take care of him." Lu Yu suddenly exclaimed.

"That's right, we are all still in the dark, and the Xuzhou Army, Xu Jie, and Tang Army have joined forces to fight against Murong Cheng's forces in the land of Yanzhou, and treat Situ Lei's envoy as an appearance. Now it seems that Situ Lei has already reached an agreement with Xu Jie and others. Well, there is no need to say more, withdraw the troops immediately, return to Shanyang Mansion, and see how the situation changes. Zhao Xun said in a sullen voice.

Zhao Xun was in a very bad mood, he thought that everything was under his control, but he found that this Situ Lei had taken another step forward. I don't know what he plans to do next: Murong Cheng. I'm afraid that Murong Cheng, who is in Yangzhou, is going to fall into the disadvantage. Situ Lei is powerful, although he has no direct relationship with Zhao Xunyan, it is still extremely bad, not to mention the hatred between the two sides, that is, his support for controlling the government and making the Dayan court his hall of words is also extremely unfavorable. Coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Zhao Xun still knew that it was powerful.

In the past, above the imperial court, the Left Prime Party and the Qi Wang Party jointly / ruled and checked and balanced each other. The imperialist party is in it, but it has no real power. But since Murong became the pacification of Jiangzhou, rectified the southeast, and went to Yangzhou, the Qi Wang Party also began to move to the southeast. Nowadays, in Luoyang City, all power is controlled by Situ Lei, and above the court, except for Situ Lei's echo worms, there are no hostile and powerful figures. And the military power, after the capture of the Praetorian Guard, there are less than 10,000 people left in the Imperial Forest Army, which is no longer useful.

It is necessary to seek benefits before the battle in the land of Yanzhou is decided, otherwise, after Situ Lei has set the name and righteousness, he will not be able to take action directly. Zhao Xun thought secretly.

At present, except for the Xuzhou Army, the rest of the forces are judged by the imperial court to be rebellious against the rebels, rather than independent of themselves. Even the Xuzhou Army rose up to resist donations and taxes, not a direct rebellion. The only guy who rebelled on his own was Zhang Yan, the king of Shu, but unfortunately, he had been exterminated by the imperial army. It can be said that up to now, no one has blatantly acted under the banner of overthrowing the imperial court. Zhao Xun believed that if he did this, he was afraid that the princes of the southern garrison would join forces to crusade, even if it was to obtain some benefits of fame, they would do so.

…………

After three days of galloping, Meng Zhao finally returned to Siyang County with 4,000 troops, and at this time, the Shanyang Mansion army had already left Siyang County for a day, and maybe the other party was already in Boping City at this moment.

"Damn it!" Looking at the city that was even more desolate than the last time, Meng Zhao hated it with hatred. The current Siyang County is much more desolate than the last time I came back. Even the four city gates were demolished by the Shanyang Mansion Army and became an empty hole. There are few remaining big households in the city, and those big families who are dedicated to the Tang Army have been looted cleanly. In Siyang County, the same is true for townships and forts.

As soon as he returned to the chaotic county office, he received the results of the bandits, and when he learned that one-third of the bandits had left, Meng Zhao's eyes suddenly darkened.

"General, do you want to send an army to chase south now? The army of Shanyang Mansion has been away from the city for less than a day, maybe ......" Seeing Meng Zhao sitting on the seat of the county government with a blue face, and was silent, Yuan Li said in a deep voice.

Meng Zhao waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "No need, the enemy army has cavalry on the side, and our army has few soldiers, so it is difficult to have a substantial effect." ”

Seeing Meng Zhao answer like this, Yuan Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he sent an army to pursue was not because he really hoped that Meng Zhao would agree, but because he wanted him to vent the dullness in his heart. If Meng Zhao agreed, Yuan Like would really be at a loss.

"Okay, appease the people, pass the order, and the people in Siyang County will be exempt from tax for one year. Send people to repair the city gates and clear out the rebellious people in Siyang County. Meng Zhao said in a dull voice.

"General, urgent military situation!" A horse rushed into the county office and turned over.

After Meng Zhao took the information transferred from Xu Feng's hand and read it, the anger that had calmed down slightly in his heart surged up again. There is no other content on it, and as Zhao Xun received, the battle of Yanzhou has begun.

"Originally, we should have a piece of the pie, it was all this damn Shanyang Mansion Army! Herald! Let the army that has finished suppressing the bandits ...... immediately Forget it, let's pacify the people according to the previous military order. "Meng Zhao really wants to let the army from the north of Liangzhou Mansion come here after the suppression of the bandits, and the army will go south to seek benefits. But thinking about the chaotic situation in the southern counties of Shanyang Prefecture and Liangzhou Prefecture, he held back the resentment in his heart.

…………

"Congratulations to General Li, for defeating the Tang army behind enemy lines and breaking through Siyang County!"

"Don't dare! It's all the soldiers who fought with their lives, and I don't dare to take credit. Zhao Xun responded to Ye Xuan's compliment with a smile.

The army ran wildly all the way, and it only took more than a day to return to Boping City, because Zhao Xun moved the northern people to the south twice, and suddenly Zhao Xun's actions behind the enemy line spread throughout the whole territory of Boping County, and the reputation was great. Even Ye Xuan and Zhang Ting, who had a calculation in their hearts, had to lower their heads, not because the other party had many soldiers, but because of the other party's military exploits.

What made Ye Xuan sad and angry was that the three thousand soldiers he threw to Zhao Xun and let the other party train now have more than 4,500 people, and they all only respect Zhao Xun and throw him aside. The three lieutenants were originally also his Ye Xuan's cronies, but now, I am afraid that they have already been convinced by the other party.

"General Ye, you also know the situation in Yanzhou City, what are your plans?" After the banquet, Zhao Xun, Ye Xuan, Zhang Ting and the county commander Wei Zhong sat together in the county hall to discuss the countermeasures for the changes in Yanzhou City.

Before Ye Xuan could answer, Zhang Ting said, "This matter still needs to be discussed?" Lord Du Du made a move against the Wuwei Army and united the Xuzhou Army, wouldn't it be icing on the cake for us to join it at this time? The Tang army was newly defeated, and it was wreaked havoc by General Li behind enemy lines, but I was afraid that in the short term, the Tang army would have no time to look south. At this time, it is the opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions, and the two generals should now wave their troops to the south and assist the Governor to break through the camp of the Wuwei Army. ”

Although the county commander Wei Zhong did not speak, the expression on his face also told the others, and his opinion was the same.

"Could it be that General Ye hasn't informed the two adults of the real situation?" Hearing Zhang Ting's answer, Zhao Xun asked Ye Xuan with a sideways look.

Ye Xuan's face stiffened, and he said after a while: "Time is pressing, I haven't had time to say it yet." ”

Zhao Xun said coldly: "Captain Zhang, Wei County Order, my Shanyang Mansion Army has officially changed its name to Shanyang Army and is out of the jurisdiction of the Yanzhou Mansion Army, as for sending troops south, I'm afraid I can't participate." Zhao Xun knew that this Zhang Ting was also a speculator, and he wanted to show himself well in front of Xu Jie's face, so that he could be on top. If it weren't for the fact that he had returned with a big victory this time, 10,000 Shanyang Prefecture troops would have moved back to 80,000 people from Siyang County, but I was afraid that Zhang Ting would have begun to tell the army under his command for disobeying military orders.

At the beginning, Ye Xuan issued a military order that 10,000 Shanyang Mansion troops, because of the problem of grain and grass, 5,000 were withdrawn to Shanyang Mansion, and 5,000 were stationed in the camp north of the city. But because of his own military order, whether it was the 5,000 soldiers who were supposed to withdraw to Shanyang Mansion or the 5,000 soldiers who stayed in the Boping camp, they all left the city without permission and headed north.

"General Li, what do you mean by that? Do you want to be independent while the Governor and the Guards are at war? General Ye, you are also the Governor of the Governor, you should say something. Zhang Ting was secretly happy in his heart, if Li Feng said so, then he would notify the whole city tomorrow and let the government soldiers turn their backs on him.

Zhao Xun didn't wait for Ye Xuan's answer, and sneered: "I forgot to tell Captain Zhang, Xu Jie's original plan was to ally the Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army, and the three parties would be a total of the Wuwei Army. I say that, do you understand? ”

Zhang Ting and Wei Zhong were stunned, and after a while, Wei Zhong hesitated and said, "General Li means that we ...... We are all governors and Tang Jun ......"

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "That's right, Liangzhou Mansion and Shanyang Mansion are both reserve conditions that Xu Jie promised the Tang Army, which is why some time ago, the army was short of food and grass, and why Lord Feng wanted to seize power from Hu Zhi under General Ye, this is also why Xu Jie knew that we would kill his people, but he did not order punishment, and it is also why our army won a big victory, but we did not dare to go north lightly, because we have no support behind us." So, are you satisfied? ”

"Captain Zhang, I know that you are dissatisfied with General Ben, whether you are selfish or jealous of General Ben's young but standing taller than you, General Ben will honestly tell you that General Ben's position is in such a position, and it is in exchange for General Ben's life, not someone's promotion. General Ben will lead the Sanyang army to withdraw to Shanyang Mansion tomorrow, as for you, you can do whatever you like. The Tang army is going south, and you are the first line of defense. Don't have the idea of surrendering to the Tang Army, because General Ben has rebelled against the officers of the new annex army in the territory of the Tang Army, so you just surrender, I'm afraid you won't get a good end. Zhao Xun said coldly. At this moment, he didn't have the time or energy to talk to these guys who only knew how to fight for power.

"By the way, General Ye knows this matter best, even if you don't believe General Ben's words, just ask General Ye to make it clear." Zhao Xun added again, and then prepared to get up and leave.

Zhang Ting was suddenly a little stupid, his plans were all based on the premise that his government army was still under the command of Xu Jie, and Li Feng and Ye Xuan also obeyed Xu Jie's military orders. But now......

"General Lee, slow down!" As soon as he saw Ye Xuan's expression, Wei Zhong knew that he was afraid that what Li Feng said was true. Wei Zhong, who has been tested by the war, is naturally not comparable to ordinary civilian officials. Immediately said urgently: "General Li is slow, I didn't know the situation in Yanzhou City before, so it's normal to be unclear." Now that the situation is clear, we need to be calm and act with spirit. ”

Zhao Xun sat back in his chair and sneered: "As Wei County Decree said, I, Li Feng, am just arrogant?" ”

Wei Zhong said with a smile: "Don't dare, what the lower official means is that, as General Li said, the previous situation was clear, we are enemies in the north and south, or in other words, enemies who have not yet officially started the war." Needless to say, in the north, in any case, we are blocking the passage of the Tang army to the south and becoming a thorn in the side of the Tang army. As for the south side, although we are independent of the outside, Xu Jie did not do anything to us, so it can be said that we are now in an equal place. But the Wuwei Army is not, Xu Jie's can win, and the Wuwei Army is invincible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, what we need now is close cooperation, no, it should be said that Boping County is the only remaining county in Liangzhou Prefecture, and it is no longer appropriate to belong to Liangzhou Prefecture, so it is better to belong to Shanyang Prefecture. What we need to do now is how to deal with the situation at hand, not just break it up. ”

"General Li, Boping County is located in the north of Shanyang Mansion, and it is the gateway to Shanyang Mansion. Come to think of it, you are unwilling to give up Boping, otherwise, after knowing that Xu Jie has abandoned the land of the two provinces and its people, you will still have a large army to help. ”

Zhao Xun said coldly: "Then according to the meaning of the Wei County Order, this general still has to protect you from Boping?" ”

Wei Zhong hurriedly said: "Of course not, General Li can also establish a defensive line in the two counties of Bianqiu and Nanpingyang, but after all, it is not as good as in Boping, isn't it?" Boping is alone on the north side of Shanyang Mansion, and the two county towns are at the corner of the horn, and if they hold this place, the Tang army will not dare to act rashly. Moreover, Boping was also under the rule of Shanyang Mansion in the future, and they divided each other. Could it be that General Li really wanted Boping to fall into the hands of the Tang army? ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Of course General Ben doesn't want to, but Boping doesn't seem to be the one in charge of Wei County!" ”

Wei's face froze, and then he said in a deep voice: "It's true, but from now on, General Li and Lord Feng have done it, isn't it?" As for those who have bad intentions, they can kill or stay, and they are free to wave the badge of General Li. I think no one will object, Captain Zhang, General Ye, what do you say? ”

Ye Xuan's face turned bitter, and he said in a deep voice: "Naturally, General Li is in charge here. ”

Zhang Ting was unwilling, but seeing Zhao Xun and Wei Zhong staring at him with sharp eyes, he suddenly panicked and said urgently: "Naturally, General Li has the final say." ”

Zhao Xun secretly admired Wei Zhong, and in a few words, he took the initiative back, it seems that as the people of the Eagle Eye Division checked, this person also understands the situation in Shanyang Mansion,

"Very good, let's reorganize Boping's troops first, this place is an important place to fight against the Tang army, and it can't be left unless it is elite." Zhao Xun didn't bother to say anything, and directly deprived Ye Xuan and Zhang Ting of their military power.

Although the actual situation was not announced, Zhao Xun immediately reorganized the army in Boping, first stripped the names of all the troops and changed them to the Shanyang Army. Later, he softened the army behind enemy lines with his own troops, established the third capital, and concurrently served as the commander of the third capital, with a total of 12,000 people. And Ye Xuan and Zhang Ting, both concurrently serve as Zuo Du Lieutenants, in name only.
