Seeing that the other party had the intention to shirk, Situ Wen was anxious, and said in a deep voice: "General Li, no, it should be Governor Li." Li Dudu, now the Wuwei army in the south is the weakest time. As long as the Shanyang army comes out, it will definitely be swept away, and it won't take long and it won't cost much money and food. ”

"The southern Wuwei army was defeated by the combined forces of the Yanzhou army and the Xuzhou army in the land of Luzhou Prefecture a year ago. At this moment, it was the best time for Lord Governor to act. If...... If the Governor had to wait until half a year later, or even longer, to act. Then, at that time, the Wuwei Army will also return to his original level. ”

"At that time, it will be too expensive to go to war with the Wuwei Army and conquer him." Situ Wen persuaded repeatedly.

Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "I understand what Lord Situ meant. However, I still cannot brave the emptiness and instability of the rear to conquer the southern provinces. If this Armed Guard is just a simple force, I will naturally have no problem. However, behind him was Murong Cheng, the king of Qi, as well as Yuzhou and Yangzhou as support. I'm just going on like this, and I'm really not an opponent. ”

Situ Wen's face changed slightly, and he secretly sighed that Li Feng's brain was changing quickly, and he said urgently: "Governor Li can rest assured, whether it is the land of Yuzhou or the land of Yangzhou, it is impossible for them to send a large army to the north." In Yuzhou, Murong Cheng did not have many troops, and he had to guard against the invasion of King Yong's army in the west, so he naturally would not send troops. As for Yangzhou, it is also powerless at the moment. Its large army was assembled in the Jiaozhou battlefield in the south and the northern Jingzhou battlefield in the west. Li Dudu, this is a great opportunity at this time. ”

Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "Having said that, I still don't want to take such a risk." How critical the martial guard is to Qi Wang Murong Cheng, he understands, Lord Situ, you also understand. Isn't it? Besides, behind me is the Tang Army, which has a grudge against us, and I can't help but guard against it, and I won't take it lightly without being sure that our side is safe. Besides, this Tang army doesn't seem to deal with King Yong, could it be that King Yong is watching the Tang army occupy my land of Yanzhou and Xuzhou? ”

"Besides, now our Shanyang Army has just finished the war. The soldiers need to rest. In addition, a large number of young men and soldiers were temporarily recruited to supplement the losses of our army. In this way, it will lead to a sharp drop in the combat strength of our army. Therefore, although our Shanyang Army seems to have greatly increased its strength, its actual strength has decreased a lot. ”

After a pause, Zhao Xun said again: "Lord Situ has been by Xu Jie's side for a year in the past, and he should know the Yanzhou Mansion Army very well, there are many soldiers and the strength is weak. And now my Shanyang Army is the same. Although our Shanyang army defeated the Yanzhou army, it does not mean that our Shanyang army must be stronger than the Yanzhou army. There were many reasons for the victory over the Yanzhou army, but the most important one was Xu Jie's rampant expropriation above the local level, which made him unpopular with the people. Otherwise, in the land of Luzhou Mansion, he would not be trapped by his subordinates lightly. ”

"As long as the two Yanzhou government armies have been defeated in successive battles and the hands of the Wuwei Army, how can the current Shanyang Army defeat the Wuwei Army with one blow. If I can't be crushed with a single blow, then my rear will not be stable. At that point, a qiē is meaningless. Besides, in the past, in order to start a war with the Wuwei Army, the Yanzhou Mansion Army of Xu Jie's army also received a lot of logistical sponsorship from the imperial court. Rao is like this, he has been defeated repeatedly, and my Shanyang army will not repeat the mistakes of the past. If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, so first govern my territory, and then talk about the issue of war with the Wuwei Army. Of course, the Wuwei army occupies the land of the three prefectures of Yanzhou, and the governor of Pontus will naturally not stop there. The three prefectures, which were occupied by the Armed Guards, would sooner or later be taken back by the Governor of Pontus. However, not now. ”

Situ Wen's face stiffened, he didn't expect that this Li Feng was determined not to move. Not only did he not move, but he also demanded money from him. But he can't refute anything yet, let alone force orders on the other side. Besides, the other party's request for money is also well documented, who let him let the Yanzhou Mansion Army and the Wuwei Army start a war in the past, and in order to make trouble with Murong Cheng, the king of Qi, from the Eastern Front, and pay to support Xu Jie. It's just a pity that Xu Jie didn't succeed, but let another inconspicuous figure turn over. Not only did the money that came out of Xu Jie's body not be rewarded, but of course, it would not die without a return at all, at least, so that the Wuwei Army could not occupy the land of Yanzhou, and the Wuwei Army suffered a lot of losses. But it was far from reaching its goal, and not only that, but it left an excuse for the new governor of Yanzhou to delay.

Situ Wen regretted it, and now he really regrets it. regretted that in order to suppress Xu Jie, Xu Jie's obedience, he deliberately let the Shanyang army go south, ceded Yanzhou Mansion, and left the other party a big mansion and an advantage of a north-south attack. But what's the use of regretting it now?

"Don't worry, the imperial court will provide the required food and grass for the Governor, but the Governor must speed up the conquest of the Guards. After all, this spring is coming, and Murong Cheng's army in the south will gradually move north to support this place. At that point, the Governor will be passive. Situ Wen said in a deep voice.

Zhao inquired: "Well, when Lord Situ's money and food arrive, it is the time when our army is ready to act. In any case, I'm going to fix my rear first. ”

Seeing this, Situ Wen knew that the other party was the master who did not see the rabbit and did not scatter the eagle. If you want the other party to act, you must come up with a large amount of money, otherwise, I am afraid that the other party will not have the intention of going south. And the eastward advance of the Yongwang army also needs to cut off the Qi army in the land of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. You must know that not only the army of King Yong is preparing to march eastward, but also the king of Qi has also begun to send reinforcements north.

After Situ Wen left, everyone congratulated Zhao Xun on becoming the governor of Yanzhou. Although this official position is not bad, it cannot command the forces of the entire territory of Yanzhou. However, with this, there is a righteous name, and the hostile forces in the land of Yanzhou can be conquest by force. The conquest in the land of Yanzhou is a legal act.

For the position of governor of Yanzhou, Zhao Xun is not very enthusiastic, who made him the three major princes in the world As for His Royal Highness King Zhao, the lord of the Xiaoguo army. For this, he really can't look at it. As long as the Shanyang Army is strong enough, the land of Yanzhou can be taken over the whole territory, otherwise, whether there is this or not, whether there is a righteous name or not, it is the same result, and it will be swept out.

After congratulating him, Feng Ziming frowned and asked, "Dudu, if this Situ Wen really brings money, will we really send troops to the Wuwei Army?" ”

Ge Xin, who was on the side, frowned and shook his head and said: "It's not good to send troops at this moment, as the governor said, our rear is not yet stable, how can we fight against the Qi army?" This Martial Guard Army is indeed simple, and it is not the opponent of my Shanyang Army, but behind this Armed Guard Army stands King Murong Cheng of Qi and hundreds of thousands of Qi Wang Army. What's more, there are still two forces behind us that are not very stable, and we can't be careful. In addition, our army and the Wuwei army are in a big battle, so in the end, it is not the Tang army, the Xuzhou army or the Yongwang army that will take advantage. Seriously, the Yongwang army may take advantage of the last. If our army can't solve the Wuwei army, then the army of King Yong will enter us under the banner of assistance. Therefore, we must not start a war with the Wuwei army before the Yongwang army. If I had to fight, I would prefer to fight with the Tang Army in the north. ”

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I didn't say that I wanted to fight, there is no need to worry, everyone began to continue to restore local production and development as the main purpose." ”

Ge Xin said in a deep voice: "But, Dudu, you have already promised Situ Wen before, you can't change the hexagram at that time, right?" ”

Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "Temporary hexagram? No, how could it be. I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, even if the Yongwang army advances eastward, we can also have a reason. If Situ Lei dared to let his army enter my territory rashly, I wouldn't mind uniting the Qi army and fighting the Yongwang army first. As I said earlier, as long as the food and grass we need arrives, our Shanyang Army will only send troops. ”

"However, do you think Situ Wen can transport the grain and grass needed by tens of thousands of soldiers? To the east of us is Jizhou, the territory of the Xiaoguo Army. To the south was the territory of the Wuwei Army, and it was impossible for him to escort a large amount of grain and grass across the border from any direction. This is what tens of thousands of soldiers need, not one or two. ”

Ge Xin frowned and said, "However, Situ Wen can pass money and wealth to guò Qianzhuang ......" Saying this, he stopped for a moment, and seemed to understand what Zhao Xun meant.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Yes, he can convert grain and grass materials into money and transport them through the local money village, but it is also difficult to convert money into grain and grass materials." The surrounding forces would not have provided us with tens of thousands of people's food and grass on such a large scale. If you can't get it, the army will naturally not be able to act. When the time comes, we won't be to blame. ”

Seeing Zhao Xun say this, Ge Xin and the others had nothing to say. To be reasonable, that is, to change the concept, I resisted and fell to the ground, and when the time came, it was because of this that I was in a stalemate with Situ Wen for a while. Even, after taking money, but not sending troops.

After receiving the holy decree, the Shanyang Army naturally announced it. The people in the Shanyang military area naturally learned that the chief general of the Shanyang Army took over the post of governor of Yanzhou. In this regard, ordinary people are naturally happy. They wish that the Shanyang Army could fight in the land of Yanzhou forever. For those big family gentry, they can only scold in their hearts. Without him, such a holy decree can only show that the imperial court and Situ Lei have been helpless against the Shanyang army. Not only is it unacceptable, but it is also necessary to win over reuse. Then, the losses they have suffered will naturally be irreparable.

Unlike ordinary people, Tang Xian, Li Chi and Xu Dongming also got the news. In this regard, except for Li Chi, who was silent, except for a slight scolding in his heart, the other two had gloomy faces.

Speaking of which, the current Li Chi is still on the side of King Yong, and he is still quite satisfied with Li Feng's appointment as the governor of Yanzhou by the imperial court. At least, in this way, the Tang army in the north and the Wuwei army in the south will be dissatisfied, and correspondingly, it will be a great advantage to their own Xuzhou army. The only thing that is dissatisfied is to envy the good fortune of this Li Feng, who can defeat Xu Jie, and become the new master of Yanzhou.

As for Tang Xian and Xu Dongming, both of them are under a lot of pressure on this. Especially Xu Dongming, he naturally knows whose court this so-called court is. If this Shanyang Army and Situ Lei were mixed together, it would be extremely unfavorable to him, and even he might be the next target of the Shanyang Army. At this time, the Wuwei Army was in a period of weakness, and if the Shanyang Army was overwhelmed, it would be really difficult to solve it.

As for Tang Xian, he regretted it a little now. regretted that he had obeyed the Shanyang Army's peace and construction that day, and the army marched eastward to seize the land of Xuzhou. Although he took the land of Xuzhou and Xuzhou, it took a lot of time to govern here, and the road to continue south was delayed. In addition, the strength of the Xuzhou army's counterattack also exceeded his expectations. The most important thing is that he didn't expect that this Shanyang army would be so strong that he would take over the position of governor of Yanzhou. In other words, the land of Sanfu that he occupies can be recovered by the Shanyang Army at any time without any reason or excuse. And any covenant between Xu Jie, and him, in the past, will no longer exist. Today's Shanyang Army is much more difficult to speak than the Yanzhou Mansion Army in the past.

On the one hand, Zhao Xun inspected the territory and resumed production, and on the other hand, he also strengthened the training of soldiers, which made the surrounding Zhuhu very nervous. This is especially true of the Wu Wei Army and the Tang Army. It was also because of this that the envoys of the Wu Weijun and the Tang Army once again asked to see Zhao Xun to discuss the issue of peace and alliance.

Seeing this, Zhao Xun no longer continued to let the envoys of all forces continue to wait in Yanzhou City for a long time, so he met with the envoys of the three parties in the Yanzhou Governor's Mansion and had a simple consultation.

Zhao Xun was very direct and did not hide it at all, and directly told the representatives of all the forces that the Shanyang Army would not launch an attack on any side in the near future. Of course, if any side wants to test the ability of the Shanyang Army, it is naturally a different matter. In addition, the Shanyang Army did not recognize any promises and agreements made by the former Yanzhou Governor and Yanzhou Governor Xu Jie. In the end, when all sides start a war, they must not retreat to the area under the jurisdiction of the Shanyang Army, otherwise, they will be attacked.

Seeing Zhao Xun say his request so directly, Tang Xian and the envoy of the Wuwei Army were slightly relaxed and happy. But the Xuzhou military envoy was not very happy. Their goal is naturally to let the Shanyang Army attack either the Wuwei Army or the Tang Army, rather than burying their heads in development and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. However, among the Shanyang army, the governor of Yanzhou said so, and they didn't have any way. What's more, the trusting governor of Yanzhou simply didn't give them time to discuss. Otherwise, this Xuzhou army envoy really wants to ask Zhao Xun if the place occupied by the Wuwei Army and the Tang Army is not the jurisdiction of Yanzhou.

The envoy of the sergeant of Xuzhou then went to see Zhao Xun, intending to reach an alliance treaty, this person was none other than Li Chi's son, Li Yu.

He bluntly said that the alliance between the two sides to jointly deal with the Wuwei Army or the Tang Army will not only allow the Shanyang Army to recover the lost territory, but also allow the Xuzhou Army to relieve the crisis. It is beneficial to both parties, why not?
