Situ Wen readily refused Zhao Xun's help, at this moment, he didn't want the Shanyang Army to get involved. If the matter is really poked out by the Shanyang Army in the end, it will be a big trouble.

However, Situ Wen is also very worried about this, without him, as Zhao Xun said, this Yanzhou land now encourages trade, and many places have very low commercial taxes. Therefore, whether it is the merchants of Yuzhou in the south or the merchants under the rule of the Xiaoguo army in the north, they have come and gone with this. As long as you are not carrying prohibited materials and the guards do not exceed a certain amount, there will be no problem.

Of course, the Shanyang army is not defenseless, and all caravans that escort more than a certain amount will settle in the place agreed by the government.

Therefore, what Situ Wen was worried about was that these people ran to other places, especially the territory of the Xiaoguo Army and the Qi Army, which was really a big trouble.

In the following days, Zhao Xun began to trade with the merchants of the Xiaoguo Army on a large scale, and the objects were grain and grass. For this reason, the surrounding Wuwei Army, Tang Army and Xuzhou Army were all nervous. Subsequently, Situ Wen also began to widely publicize that Li Feng, the governor of Youzhou, had been ordered by the imperial court to prepare a crusade against the Wuwei army.

Zhao Xun naturally didn't go back to pay attention to this. In the same way, Situ Wencai's suspicion of Zhao Xun relaxed a little. Although the others didn't care, Wu Weijun suddenly became nervous because of Situ Wen's propaganda. However, after a month, there was no reaction from the Sanyang Army. After that, the Wu Weijun also relaxed a little. They know very well who the governor of Yanzhou is, and it seems that this is deliberately promoted by some people. In the eyes of the Wu Weijun and other princes, there was such an idea.

As for Li Chi of the Xuzhou Army, he naturally felt a little regretful. It is a pity that the Shanyang Army has not moved. Subsequently, Li Yu came up with the idea that Situ Wen was sick to urge the Shanyang Army, which may have some effect.

For Shanyang Jun's light talk or not practice, Situ Wen was naturally dissatisfied in his heart. Under the complaint of someone with a heart, he was very worried about the situation that Shanyang Jun took his money but did not do anything, so he immediately urged Zhao Xun. For Situ Wen's urging, Zhao Xun was also prepared. After estimating the outbreak time of the Luoyang incident, he directly told Situ Wen that in late April, the Shanyang Army would launch a formal operation and begin to conquest the Wuwei Army.

"By the way, Lord Situ, the reason why we have been delayed for so long is also related to the rumors of the outside world. For some reason, there were rumors outside that our Shanyang Army was called to recruit the Wuwei Army, which caught us off guard. You know, surprise can play the role of a surprise attack. Now, as everyone knows, can we send troops again? In the end, it will only lead to a stalemate, which is extremely unfavorable to our Shanyang army. ”

"It is also because of this that the Wuwei Army has taken precautions, so that they have also begun to actively defend. At this moment, their attention is all focused on us, let alone raid them. As soon as the army moves, they will know. When the time comes, they will be waiting for us to pass. ”

"Lord Situ, according to what we have checked, most of this information came from the post station, that is to say, it was all transmitted by Lord Situ's subordinates. If it weren't for this, my Shanyang Army would have taken several cities on the front line of the Wuwei Army by now. Zhao Xun explained unhurriedly.

"Really? How could my people be like this? Lord Governor, could it be a mistake? Hearing this, Situ Wen's face stiffened, and then he asked in surprise.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "I also hope that it is wrong, but in fact, this is the case. However, it is useless to say anything now. If Lord Situ still doesn't care about your people, the dispatch time may be delayed indefinitely, and when the time comes, I can't blame me. I know more about war than Lord Governor. There is no substitute for surprise and intelligence. ”

Situ Wen's face was embarrassed, he naturally knew that his behavior had been investigated by the Shanyang Army. And it was also his own actions that gave the other side a reason to delay the war. This made him annoyed and helpless when he arrived. After all, what the other party said also makes sense.

…………

In mid-April, it was earlier than Zhao Xun expected. While the Shanyang Army was slowly preparing, when Situ Wen thought that the Shanyang Army was going to make a big move, when he had the opportunity to see the Shanyang Army and the Wuwei Army fighting. Things in Luoyang finally broke out.

Murong Cheng, the king of Qi in Yangzhou, took the lead in announcing the emperor's death, and of course, the charge was naturally transferred to Murong Cheng. Murong Cheng told the world that Murong Cheng had poisoned the emperor and empress, and was ready to replace them, and hunted down the emperor's daughter. At the same time, he also said that he wanted to collude with the Turks and attack the Central Plains with the help of the Turkic army. Of course, in fact, Situ Lei's condition was that in the name of peace, the Turks would be confined to the northern part of the state and not allowed to go south, and in addition, he would borrow 100,000 troops from the Turks to conquer the Central Plains in the south, and the harvest would be shared between the two. However, if it falls into Murong Cheng's mouth, it will naturally become a different appearance.

If it was just this, it would be fine, but then the Xiaoguo army was in Youzhou, and the edict and details brought by Princess Xiyue were announced, and the opportunity was the same as Murong Cheng, pointing directly at Situ Lei. The announcement of the two princes put Situ Lei in the whirlpool. Although the Xiaoguo army did not carry out a detailed crusade. But Murong Cheng was not like this, and directly plotted a series of crimes such as usurping the throne, killing the king, and colluding with foreigners, and pushed him to Situ Lei, condemning him as a thief who must be killed, and calling on all the heroes of the world to crusade together. Otherwise, it will be in the same stream and will stint for 10,000 years.

This time, it really hit Situ Lei's vital point. Of course, Situ Lei would not admit it directly, and immediately began to refute it, loudly announcing that Murong Cheng and Zhao Xun were talking nonsense, cursing the emperor, and the crime was unforgivable.

However, after Murong Cheng and Zhao Xun's statements reached Luoyang. Immediately, in Luoyang City, there were dozens of royal relatives and some old ministers who asked to meet the emperor in person to screen the authenticity. But at this moment, the emperor is dead, how to screen it, in the end, it can only be said that what Murong Cheng said is true. Of course, Murong Cheng would not agree to this.

For some reason, Luoyang City publicized this matter, and the rumors spread more and more widely, and the more outrageous they became. Subsequently, in Luoyang City, it began to be rumored that Murong Cheng killed the monarch and was ready to replace him. In order to accomplish this goal, he also colluded with the Turks, let the Turks enter the country to help, and ceded the northern lands. All of a sudden, in Luoyang City, the voices of dissatisfaction with Murong Cheng surged.

Situ Lei was immediately furious, and went on a hunt for the people who spread rumors in the city. Subsequently, after executing a royal family member who repeatedly asked to meet the Holy Lord, the matter was completely condemned to death. At this time, Luoyang City not only rumored that Murong Cheng killed the emperor and was ready to replace him, but also concealed the news of the emperor's death, preparing to announce it and ascend the throne as the emperor after the Turks entered. It is even rumored that this Murong Cheng still wantonly slaughtered the royal family to prepare for the new dynasty in the future.

This time, Situ Lei was beaten to the point that he was unable to turn over. Although he did not kill the royal family as rumored by the outside world, he could no longer clear the charge against him. Murong Cheng once again called on the world's heroes to conquest Murong Cheng.

Qi County, Thorn History Mansion.

"The situation has become like this, and Situ Lei is basically in a bad position. Now, no one should be on Situ Lei's side. Ge Xin said with a smile. Situ Lei began to go downhill, then, it means that the Shanyang Army has a chance, and the Xiaoguo Army will grow, then, finally, ......

Feng Ziming said in a deep voice: "In this way, we don't need to pay attention to the will of the imperial court. However, as long as Situ Lei is not in internal chaos, for Situ Lei's overall strength, his strength has not decreased much, if there is internal chaos, or a large number of civilian officials do not cooperate, it is the most beneficial. ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "By the way, then has Situ Wen left?" It's time to leave the daily urging. ”

Tang Bin said with a smile: "If you go, if you don't go, your life will be difficult to protect, how can he not leave." Now, we have gotten hundreds of thousands of silver for nothing, and I don't know what Situ Wen will be angry about. ”

Zhao asked: "Anyway, I won't be in a good mood, if I was smart, I should know that we played him before and after this incident." I know that we actually met Princess Xiyue and sent her to the territory of the Xiaoguo Army. I think Situ Wen must be angry. After months of hard work here, I got nothing. ”

Feng Ziming sighed: "It's still too little, you know, Xu Jie's support from Situ Wen is as much as three or four million silver coins, and there are other things." But we only got more than 700,000 yuan. ”

Ge Xin shook his head and said, "It's good to have so much wealth for nothing." After all, according to our estimates, this is not a single copper coin. ”

"Down, it's the reaction of the hus around us, whether to respond to Murong Cheng or be silent, it's all related to the comparison of strength between the two sides." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

Feng Ziming sighed and said: "It's a pity that the Xiaoguo army will not participate in the war at this moment, otherwise, this Situ Lei will definitely be defeated very quickly, and even, in less than ten days, the states under his jurisdiction will turn against each other." ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "You're right, but we can't do that." Situ Lei fell quickly, and this Murong Cheng also rose quickly. In addition, the Turks in the north will also take advantage of the fire to rob, and we will not only have to fight with Murong Cheng, but also guard against the north, which is naturally difficult to deal with. ”

Feng Ziming said: "So, what does Du Du mean that we will sit and watch Murong Cheng and Situ Lei fight first?" But they can't let us sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits of the fishermen. In addition, it is necessary to guard against this Situ Lei breaking the jar and directly indulging the Turkic army into the country, and at that time, it is our Han people who will suffer. ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "What if the Xiaoguo Army announces that it wants to conquer the Turks?" If the Turks do not surrender, the Central Plains will fight, and it will be difficult to feel at ease. I want to march west from Dingzhou, attack the flank of the Turks, and directly kill the mainland. In this way, we will not lightly meddle in the disputes in the Central Plains, and Situ Lei and Murong Cheng will also fight non-stop, so as not to turn the tables all at once, I can count on Situ Lei to hold on for a few more years. ”

Feng Ziming stroked his palms and smiled: "This is very good, Murong Cheng and Situ Lei are fighting among themselves in the Central Plains, while Lord Du Du has recovered the lost territory and attacked the foreign enemy. When the time comes, the Governor will be famous. In the name of righteousness, the Governor has an absolute advantage. What's more, inside, there is also a Shanyang army in which to conquer cities and seek benefits. More importantly, the Xiaoguo army's conquest of the Turks could give Situ Lei hope that he would not make a desperate attempt to lure the Turkic army into the country. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "That's right, from now on, the army is ready, since the wars in the Central Plains states are going on, we must also get some benefits from it." ”

After Murong Cheng announced the crusade against Zhuwen, the first person to respond was the Youzhou Xiaoguo Army. The reason why the Xiaoguo army was the first to respond was also to wait for the level of the situation between the two sides. If the Xiaoguo army did not take a clear stand, how could the other princes dare to position themselves lightly? If they make decisions that are contrary to the Fruit Army, won't it be the end of it? For example, the Tang Army and the Xuzhou Army in the south of Qingzhou are all under the front of the Xiaoguo Army, and they can't be careless.

However, the correspondence of the Xiaoguo Army will be very different at that time. It has no intention of going to Luoyang, Yongzhou. Rather, he expressed his willingness to go out from the northern front to crusade against the Turks who were connected to Situlei. As for the land of Luoyang, it was handed over to the Central Plains. And His Royal Highness Qi Wen, who is a member of the royal family, is naturally qualified to command the heroes to crusade against Situ Lei, a thief who kills the monarch and betrays the country.

Murong Cheng was a little surprised by Xiaoguo Jun's response and announcement, but then he was a little happy. After all, he and Zhao Xun got together, for example, they would fight. If the other party is willing to conquer the Turks, it is naturally the best, and in this way, they will take advantage of themselves in the Central Plains.

And after Situ Lei heard this, he also suppressed his heart of despair when he heard that Xiaoguo Jun also declared that he was a thief who killed the king and betrayed the country. After all, if the Xiaoguo Army doesn't come, Murong Cheng alone is not so difficult to deal with. What's more, this Turkic army is not so easy to conquest. If the Xiaoguo army is defeated at that time, and he defeats the Qi army. Or after the defeat of the Xiaoguo army, with the help of the Turks to ascend to the throne, who would dare to do it?
