"Someone behind you to support? Isn't that a good thing? If someone supports it, it means that Shunzhou can't be lost, and there are not a few people with patriotic hearts, so you should make reasonable use of these resources to defeat the Yan army, instead of fighting. Zhao Xun said casually.

Zhao Xun did not have a good impression of these leaders of these forces who were still fighting in the face of strong enemies. If you are sure that you will defeat the other two rebel armies in one fell swoop, and take them for your own use, and strengthen yourself, then it will be fine. But he only knows about internal friction, but ignores the current situation. Zhao Xun was really in no mood to play with them.

Seeing Zhao Xun's disapproving expression, Su Ziyan also understood what many people were thinking at the moment, and said in a deep voice: "Behind them are the Khitan and the Governor of Youzhou, who are secretly supporting. ”

Khitan? The Khitan of the Great Yan State was not strong, and it was far less famous than the Liao State established by the Khitans who beat the Northern Song Dynasty to the point where the Northern Song Dynasty was broken and signed the "Lanyuan Alliance" during the Song Dynasty. The current Khitan is like the early Tang Dynasty, subject to the Great Yan Kingdom.

"Isn't the Khitan attached to my Great Yan Kingdom, wouldn't it be better to have their support? As for the governor of Youzhou, it's even better, is there any problem with this? Why not cooperate? Defeat the Yan people first to discuss other things, do you think you can resist the army of the Yan Kingdom? No matter who wins or loses, you will still be subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the future. ”

Su Ziyan chuckled and said, "Really? Then how is Lord Zhao going to deal with your relationship with the imperial court? Presumably Lord Zhao already knows, your matter has been spread to the capital city of Chang'an. Privately detaining Lord Commander and forming a private army, you are not small. If it weren't for the endless entanglement of the war in Xuzhou, I'm afraid that the treatment of you would have come down a long time ago. ”

Zhao Xun smiled indifferently and said indifferently: "The imperial court has ordered me to obey, besides, I have no choice but to arrest Du Wei, and the officials of Yanzhou Mansion can testify for me." Moreover, Sima Yun is not dead yet, and he will be handed over to the imperial court in the future. ”

Su Ziyan pursed her lips and said, "Why does Lord Zhao want to talk in front of me?" What you think, others don't know, but you will never be as you say, otherwise you will not repeatedly issue new orders and buy the people of Yanzhou Mansion. ”

"Let's talk about my business, I was almost mixed up by you again. The three armies of Shunzhou, Zhang Lei's Black Snake Army had more than 15,000, and the supporters were Khitans; Bao Shuyang's Qingyang Army was secretly supported by Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, with nearly 20,000 subordinates and complete armor, which was the strongest; There are only more than 13,000 people in the Woshun Prefecture Army, but they are all from the government army, and the discipline is the best, which is considered medium, but our Shunzhou Army is the strongest in resisting the Yan Army. ”

"The Black Snake Army is active in the north of Shunzhou, the Qingyang Army is active in the south, and my Shunzhou Army is active in the east.

"Wait! You say that when you fight the Tartar army again, you will still fight each other? Zhao Xun was a little difficult to accept, thinking that he was just dissatisfied with each other and difficult to cooperate, but he didn't expect it to be opened.

Su Ziyan sneered: "Lord Zhao only knows one and doesn't know the other. It is true that the Khitan people surrendered to the Great Yan Kingdom, but the Khitan was divided into Daji, Suben, Duhuo, Fenwen, Tuben, Ruixi, Shenjin, and Fubabu. There were tribute, entry, and trade, as well as war and plunder. However, the tribe behind the Green Snake Army is the Tubian Division, a tribe that does not obey the Yan Kingdom, has never surrendered to the Yan Kingdom, and often plunders all over the border. ”

"Now that I see the chaos in Shunzhou, I want to get benefits from it, but I don't want to be hostile to Yan State, so I support the Green Snake Army to serve myself. The big ones are attacking cities and conquering cities, and the small ones are plundering people and property, and they often move around the country, which is really hateful, and for this reason, we have fought many wars with them. ”

"With the support of the Sudden Snake Army, although the military discipline is corrupt, they have a fast speed, so we have nothing to do, even the Yan Army, and we don't dare to provoke this team that comes and goes like the wind. Therefore, in the war with them, most of us are at a disadvantage, and with the attack of the Tatar army, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable. ”

Khitans! For the Khitan people, Zhao Xun knows that once there is an opportunity, coupled with a strong leader, then the Khitan may become another powerful nomadic tribe in the north, and even become the Great Liao in memory. However, the current Khitan is surrounded by powerful tribal peoples, with the Murwei in the north, the most powerful Turkic in the northwest, and the Great Yan Kingdom of the Central Plains Dynasty in the south. So it didn't develop.

"What about the Qingyang Army? Since he has the support of the Governor of Youzhou behind him, he should work hand in hand with you, anyway, your Shunzhou Army is also an army under the Governor of Youzhou, and it is understandable to obey orders. ”

Su Ziyan suddenly said indignantly: "Originally, it was like this, but now no one can listen to him." ”

"Oh? Why? Governor Li Huaiyuan has a grudge against you, Li Yu? ”

Su Ziyan took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Xun and said, "The Yan army is going south, and the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops, you say, maybe no one is paying attention?" Is this possible? ”

Zhao Xun's face was stunned, and he said for a while: "Impossible!" ”

Su Ziyan sneered: "Yes, hundreds of thousands of troops came down from the north, and the land of the four provinces did not get the slightest information, and they didn't even react, and all of a sudden, the land of the four provinces fell." However, the governor, who had a heavy army, stuck to his position and remained silent. You say, does that make sense? ”

Zhao Xun did not speak.

"Even if there is no military order, the army cannot be mobilized, but don't forget, it is the invasion of the Yan army, and we are defending the territory, is there no military order, just let the Yan army enter Chang'an City?" Su Ziyan said angrily.

Zhao Xun was silent, in fact, he also understood that in this series of incidents, Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, was definitely involved. Su Ziyan was right, you can't go to war without a military order, that is, you can't attack the enemy outside the borders, but now that the Yan Yan army has entered the Yan Kingdom, how can you be indifferent? It's just that Li Xinyan helped herself once in the past, and she can't be ruthless and unjust, she will take revenge, and since then she has pressed it in her heart and not thought about it.

Seeing Zhao Xun's appearance, Su Ziyan also knew that Zhao Xun understood what he meant, and then said: "If only it was like this, but we learned from the inside of the Qingyang Army that Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, also had a deal with the Yan Army, and even assisted the Yan Army in ruling the place, you say, can we listen to him?" ”

After a while, Zhao Xun said: "I know what you mean, Li Huaiyuan can't believe it, you are now fighting alone, facing enemies on three sides." I wanted to support you, but you saw it too. I want to send troops to open the passage, not to mention that I am facing threats in the north and south, and I am powerless. ”

This is not a lie, Zhao Xun's current goal and energy are focused on Yingzhou Mansion, and he really has no time to take care of it, besides, he has supported Shunzhou Mansion, what good can he do? If there is no benefit, Zhao Xun will not do.

Su Ziyan said: "As long as you agree!" We ......"

"Wait...... I didn't say yes! I have to deal with my threat now, and I can't help you in the short term, so ......"

Su Ziyan smiled: "It doesn't matter, we can still support it for a while, by the way, I'll stay here for the time being, waiting for your news, no problem." ”

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly: "Whatever you want!" Then he arranged for him to stay, and originally planned to arrange it to the guest room of the Duwei Mansion, but Su Ziyan said that he was too lonely to be alone, so he wanted to stay in the Zhao Mansion and have a lively time. Zhao Xun thought about it, and there were no secrets in the house, so he placed it in the guest room. Of course, the internal guards still watched it to death. As for the sick sword and longbow, they were left in Zhao Xun's hands for the time being.

After Su Ziyan left, Zhao Xun's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Come on, let Sima Yan, the commander of the internal guard, Zhao Zhang, the chief housekeeper of the inner house, and Wang Yang, the chief housekeeper of the outer house, come to see me immediately."

Li Xinyan's affairs, except in the mansion, few outsiders know, but a person who has just come to Yanzhou City can know that my mansion is going to be rectified.

Subsequently, the three of them were called into the house by Zhao Xun, and after a while, the three of them left the house with gloomy faces. Then, within three days, up and down the Zhao Mansion, half of the subordinates and maids disappeared and were replaced by new people.

"It seems that this guy has figured it out, and he reacts so quickly......" As soon as he entered the guest room, not long after, the internal guards who were busy with green back and forth, Su Ziyan muttered to himself silently.
