Situ Wen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "These, naturally don't worry about General Li. I said that the conditions that I promised you would naturally be able to let your Shanyang Army enter Yanzhou Mansion, and you don't have to doubt this. As long as you agree to send troops, you can go south, and the Yanzhou army in Yanzhou Mansion will also start to evacuate. ”

Zhao Xun paused, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, as long as my Shanyang Army is stationed in the counties of Yanzhou Prefecture, my Shanyang Army will only launch a campaign against the Wuwei Army together with the Yanzhou Mansion Army. Lord Situ, let me say it first, so as not to have any misunderstanding at the time. This Yanzhou Mansion, we are going to replace someone to take over. So, I also hope that you will get the counties to cooperate. If there is too much delay in the process of taking over, which makes the rear of our army uneasy, then our army will naturally not be able to go all out. When the time comes, it will not be us who will lose. Lord Situ, you should understand what I mean? ”

Situ Wen frowned slightly, and the original plan in his heart was completely hidden. Nodding in response: "In this way, I will guarantee that the county officials will hand over to your people." ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Not only that, but you can't move the county treasury. You won't let us go to war on an empty stomach, and you won't let us stay too busy settling the people. ”

Situ Wen gritted his teeth and said, "I also agreed to these." ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "This is very good, three days later, my Shanyang army will move to Yanzhou Mansion, and Lord Situ will let the Yanzhou Mansion army prepare to retreat." Let the officials of the counties of Yanzhou prepare for the handover. ”

Situ Wen stared at Zhao Xun for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Very good, I hope that General Li and the Shanyang Army can abide by the agreement between us." This is a document for the conquest of the Armed Guards, and General Li will sign it. As he spoke, he took out another scroll from his bosom.

Zhao Xun smiled and nodded. As a result, after the text was spread, his name was written.

"After three days, the Shanyang Army can come to Yanzhou Mansion to take over." As he spoke, he turned and left.

"It seems that things are more difficult than we thought!" Zhao Xun said slowly.

Feng Ziming nodded slightly, he understood what Zhao Xun meant, Zhao Xun's original plan was not only to take Yanzhou Mansion, but also to wipe out the total of more than 20 clans in Yanzhou Mansion by the Yanzhou Mansion army. But today, I found that this Situ Wen's face was ugly, and it seemed that he was not very harmonious with Xu Jie, and Zhao Xun did not say much.

"Lord, these more than 20 clans still need us to do something, do you want to pretend to be the name of the Yanzhou Mansion Army at the time of the handover, do it to them, and blame Xu Jie." Feng Ziming said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun shook his head and chuckled: "No, it depends on the situation at that time, if you are disobedient, you will be dealt with with by the armed guards." Can they still turn the sky around? Now the people of Yanzhou are taxed very heavily. As long as we arrive in Yanzhou and implement the new policy and reduce taxes, these people will be able to return to their hearts. As for these more than 20 clans, we can do it ourselves, and we don't need to be afraid of anything. In the land of chaos, it should be ruthless! ”

Now that the agreement has been reached, Zhao Xun is not ambiguous, and directly asks the 20,000 army to be dispatched, slowly approaching the land of Yanzhou Mansion, and waiting for the preparation of the Yanzhou Mansion army. At the same time, the county soldiers of Shanyang Prefecture also began to be formed, forming a local garrison force, with local officials in charge and responsible for local security.

Three days passed quickly, and as for how Situ Wen and Xu Jie discussed, Zhao Xun didn't care, and he was not interested. The Yanzhou army also complied with the agreement, and the troops withdrew from the Yanzhou government. Under Zhao Xun's military order, the 20,000 army was divided into several routes, led the officials, and marched into the counties to hand over one by one. And Zhao Xun personally took 5,000 people and stationed in Yanzhou City.

Half a year later, Zhao Xun and Feng Ziming returned to Yanzhou City again. When entering Yanzhou City, the 3,000 people left behind by the Yanzhou Mansion Army and Zhao Xun and Feng Ziming also waved their troops south and left the territory of Yanzhou Mansion after a simple handover.

It seems that Situ Wen and Xu Jie still kept the agreement and left the things in the treasury. It's just that after Xu Jie's hard battle, there is nothing left in the treasury, no wonder they are so simple. Looking at the file in his hand, Feng Ziming couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

Zhao Xun smiled: "It's time to be content, after all, we have seen the capital of Yanzhou taken." Compared to us, Xu Jie is only afraid that it is even more uncomfortable, he has lost a place in vain. Next, a notice was posted in the counties, and this Yanzhou Mansion, my Shanyang Army took over. Let's reduce taxes, check the land and population, distribute the land, confiscate the private wealth of all the big clans, and implement a new trade tax law. In this way, Yanzhou Mansion can also be taken over quickly. By the way, at the same time, recruit new soldiers, mix our veterans, and set up county soldiers in each county, with the number of 1,000 people in one county, to maintain local law and order. ”

Feng Ziming nodded and said, "No problem, I'll do it, and the counties should also start handling it when they take over the affairs of the county." However, it will take time for us to officially take over this place and bring him down. But will they give us time? ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he gives it or not, we all have to solve the situation here first." Are they still counting on me to start sending troops now? ”

"My lord, Lord Wind! Situ Wen is here! Tang Liyu reported.

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Look, what you are worried about is here, they have come to collect debts." ”

"General Li, Lord Feng, now, this Yanzhou Mansion has also been given to you as agreed, I wonder when the Shanyang Army will be able to send troops to action?" As soon as they met, Situ Wen came to urge Zhao Xun to send troops to fight against the Wuwei Army, just as Feng Ziming was worried.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "What General Ben promised has never broken his promise. However, Lord Situ should also understand that it will take time for my Shanyang Army to take over Yanzhou Mansion at that time, and if I don't stabilize this, how can I dare to send troops? This is the rear of our army, and the food and grass supplies needed for our army's dispatch need to be allocated from here. If this place is not settled, the army will be defeated. Could it be that Lord Situ wants my Shanyang Army to be killed? It seems that if it goes on like this, it will be beneficial to Xu Jiedu in the short term, but for Lord Situ, there will be no benefit. ”

Situ Wen said in a deep voice: "I don't know how long it will take for General Li to take over here?" January? A year? General Li, you know the situation in Yanzhou very well now, and when you are fully in control of this place, I am afraid that the Wuwei army will have already reached your doorstep. Could it be that General Li asked for benefits and didn't want to send troops? ”

Zhao Xun sneered: "Ten days, General Ben needs ten days." General Ben said that I would definitely do what I promised to do. But at the very least, I don't want my grain route to be cut off, and the rear is in chaos and the army that has just been dispatched is broken and withdrawn. Of course, if Lord Situ wants that, then I can send troops now. It's just that I'm afraid that I just went out. It will be broken and withdrawn. ”

Situ Wenming Bai Zhao inquired about the hidden meaning of this remark, which was nothing more than to tell him that if he sent troops now, he was afraid that as soon as he left, this Shanyang Mansion would be "broken" and chaotic, and then he would lead the army dispatched to return to the division to quell the chaos. Of course, he also understood that what Zhao Xun said made sense. If he changed himself, the Yanzhou Mansion did not settle down, and he did not dare to send troops. Zhao Xun only needs ten days, which is already within his limit. If you sit in the other person's seat, I'm afraid it will take longer.

"Okay, just ten days, I can respond to all of this, and after ten days, wait for the Shanyang Army to dispatch!" Situ Wen said lightly. Now, even if you don't allow it, you have to do it.

"Our actions must be accelerated, and the local area must be stabilized, and those who do not obey the order will be exterminated!" After Situ Wen left, Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.

Soon, the Yanzhou Mansion changed owners, and the Shanyang Army also promulgated a new policy. Those officials who came from the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xiaoguo Army and had experience in government affairs, with the assistance of the Shanyang Army, began new methods of governance. The common people and businessmen naturally rejoiced in these new policies, and those big clans were naturally unwilling. The county officials. They all sent people to convey the instructions of the government in front of the gates, and the most important of them was to collect the private soldiers in their hands. For Yanzhou Mansion, the Shadow Division and the Eagle Eye Division had already sent people to investigate, and they were extremely clear about how many private soldiers there were in the big clans in these places at that time.

These big clans are naturally unwilling to give up the private soldiers in their hands who have been cultivated with great difficulty because of a paper order, except for a small number of big clans who know what the Shanyang Army has done in Shanyang Mansion and have fewer private soldiers in their hands and immediately hand over the private soldiers in their hands, most of the rest are unwilling. Among them, some of these unwilling people still want to negotiate with the local government, and most of them refuse outright.

But the next situation frightened them, and among the nine counties of Yanzhou Prefecture, they launched actions at the same time. The Shanyang army stationed in the counties raised the long knives in their hands and directly smashed into the mansions of these big clans who directly refused, and all the men were killed, and the family wealth was looted, and their fields naturally melted into the share allocated to the people. Externally, it was announced that these big clans were all spies of the Wuwei Army, and they wanted to cooperate with the Wuwei Army to break through the land of Yanzhou.

The people rejoiced at the destruction of these great clans, and in addition to the increase in the distribution of land, these large clans were obviously not popular with the people. But the great clans were frightened, and soon the remaining gentry and great clans handed over their private soldiers and the fields that they had illegally obtained in their hands. For these private soldiers, they were directly absorbed by the Shanyang Army and dispersed to various departments.

In the counties of Yanzhou Prefecture, conscription activities also began, and the treatment of the Shanyang Army suddenly made the young and strong people who joined the army. However, the Shanyang Army did not absorb too much, and with Zhao Xun's permission, only 2,000 people were recruited from each county as local county soldiers to be responsible for local security. Of course, among the two thousand county soldiers, the officers are all veterans of the Shanyang Army, and half of them are Shanyang soldiers. Such a mixed establishment also brought the local county soldiers under the control of the Shanyang Army.

At the same time, Shanyang Mansion, which had been prepared for a long time, also began to transport a large amount of grain and grass that had been hoarded for a long time for the army to use.

"How? How's the catch? Seeing Feng Ziming coming in, Zhao Xun asked with a smile.

Feng Ziming said: "After seven busy days, we have finally shocked these big clans, and we have seized them from the hands of those big clans who have been killed, and we can maintain most of the local expenses after tax revenue due to rent and interest reductions and exemptions from excesses and miscellaneous taxes." I have to say that this Yanzhou Mansion was dug up too hard by Xu Jie. ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "That's it, it's already good, I didn't plan to let Yanzhou Mansion provide us with anything, at least, there will be no drama this year." Let the counties focus on stability and distribute the fields. By the way, what are they doing? ”

Feng Ziming smiled: "What else can you do, continue to stalemate with the Wu Wei Army." Perhaps because of our participation in the battle, the Guards stopped passing and seemed to shrink back, ready to respond to our attack. ”

Zhao inquired: "This is also normal, after all, the Wuwei Army and the Yanzhou Mansion Army have also been fighting for two months, and it is time to rest and rest." We've been recuperating for a long time, and they can't afford to be on guard. ”

Feng Ziming said: "Maybe that's the case, the Yanzhou Mansion Army has also begun to rest, and in addition, Situ Wen also announced a crusade against Zhuwen, which is mainly issued in the name of the imperial court, and the Yanzhou Mansion Army and the Shanyang Army are side by side." ”

Zhao Xun frowned and said, "Is it a parallel signature?" ”

Feng Ziming nodded and said, "Yes!" The meaning of the imperial court, this is funny. ”

"It seems that this Situ Wen deliberately put us on the opposite side of the Yanzhou Mansion Army, so that our Shanyang Army and the Yanzhou Mansion Army have become the same existence. In the past, our Shanyang Army was still a nominal subordinate of the Yanzhou Army. Zhao Xun said thoughtfully.

Feng Ziming said coldly: "This shows that the relationship between this Situ Wen and Xu Jie is not as good as it seems on the surface. ”

Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "This is very good, this is beneficial to us!" ”

Feng Ziming smiled and didn't say anything, but he knew very well what Zhao Xun meant. Now that the two parties are equally coexisting, it will be much more convenient to seize the territory of Xu Jie. At least. In the eyes of the people, the Shanyang Army is also self-contained. This is not what you want to betray, it is the meaning of the above.
