The Yanzhou army was attached to the Zhao army, and in the Yanzhou army, it did not cause too much turmoil. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. As far as the army is concerned, less than half of the Yanzhou army is Zhao army soldiers, especially the 'elite' in the army, most of them are Zhao army. As for the officers and colonels, more than ninety percent of them are from the Zhao army, and they have no objection to joining the Zhao army.

And the civil service system does not have much 'waves'. Among them, it is also because more than half of the officials were secretly dispatched from the Zhao army and took over most of the authority of Yanzhou and Yuzhou under the Yanzhou army.

For ordinary people, under the rule of the Yanzhou army and under the rule of the Zhao army, as long as they can live a peaceful life, they wish that the Yanzhou army and the Zhao army could live in peace, let alone be integrated. Moreover, Zhao Jun's policy is much more comprehensive than that of Yanzhou Army, and it has more benefits.

Because of the integration of the two armies, Feng Ziming sat in the south and dealt with the integration of the two armies. In addition, Yuzhou was captured by the Yanzhou army from the Qi army, and the foundation was not strong. In addition, the war in the south is approaching, so Feng Ziming has lived in Yuzhou for a long time.

Receiving the news from the 'Chun' Mausoleum Mansion in Jingzhou, east of Yuzhou, Feng Ziming couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that such a problem would arise within the Tang Army, and at such a critical time, there would be internal 'chaos'.

Immediately, Feng Ziming knew that this must be a trick by other princes against the Tang army. After inspecting the detailed information of the various princes around Jingzhou, Feng Ziming identified the objects of suspicion as the kings of Luoyang and Hanzhong. Only these two people will get the greatest benefit from this matter.

Analysis of the intelligence can be seen that the current Qi army is too busy to take care of itself, the Shu army is busy with Jiangzhou and 'Jiao' state, and now I hope that the Tang army will die together with the king of Luoyang and the king of Hanzhong, and naturally will not provoke internal 'chaos' when the Tang army is weak, in this way, it will only cheapen the two brothers who are dissatisfied with the king of Shu Situ Che and are eager to replace them.

Jingzhou wants to pick up with himself, but Feng Ziming knows that his own army has no intention of acting now. In the end, it can only be the king of Hanzhong and the king of Luoyang. As for who it is, it no longer matters to Feng Ziming.

Feng Ziming knew that the current king of Luoyang's first action was not to immediately wave his army to the south, but to win over Xiang Yan and the 14,000 soldiers under his command. However, in this way, the Tang army is in danger, and the king of Luoyang will be able to quickly recover some of his strength from the great battle a month ago. One plus and one subtract, the deficit is huge. This is not an ideal result for Zhao Jun.

Therefore, this rebellious 'rebellious' Tang army could not be owned by the king of Luoyang. 14,000 soldiers is by no means a small number, in terms of the current situation of the Tang army, without the combination of the king of Luoyang and the king of Hanzhong, the king of Luoyang alone can take the entire territory north of Hanshui.

"In this case, these fourteen thousand soldiers belong to my Great Zhao." After considering the gains and losses, Feng Ziming summoned several civil and military generals in charge of Yuzhou and its garrison and said his thoughts.

The soldiers stationed in Yuzhou today are the Sixth Army of the Eighth Guards Army, which has been newly transferred to this place, and General Wu Shang does not know much about the situation around Yuzhou, but he also knows the general strategy of Great Zhao now. He said with a little worry: "Lord Feng, in this way, will my Zhao army also be involved in the battle of Jingzhou?" Now in the land of Jingzhou, not only the Tang army, the army of the king of Luoyang, and the army of the king of Hanzhong are mixed in, but the Qi army and the Shu army in the south are also eyeing each other. If we hastily 'intervene', will we trap us in it, and instead stop the war between other princes? ”

Feng Ziming said with a smile: "What General Wu is worried about is also what we need to pay attention to, if we send out an attack, it will indeed make other princes wary of us, and even cause accidents." However, we are not going to march to Jingzhou, but the rebels stationed in the three eastern counties of the 'Chun' Lingfu want to attach themselves to us. And after we occupy these three counties, we do not continue to advance east or south, and we have no intention of mobilizing troops on a large scale. In this way, when the Tang army was already weakened, the other princes could watch this injured prey recover, or even escape? ”

Hearing this, Wu Shang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Just to accept the Tang Army rebels in the east of this 'Spring' Mausoleum Mansion, we naturally have no problem. Originally, Wu was also worried that Lord Feng was preparing to march into the 'Chun' Mausoleum Mansion to restrict the King of Luoyang. If that is the case, we must not only consider the issue of Jingzhou in the west, but also the Chu army and the Qi army in the east. ”

Seeing that the other people had no other suggestions, Feng Ziming immediately sent an envoy to the Tang rebel camp in the east of the 'Chun' Mausoleum to discuss the surrender. Of course, for Feng Ziming, surrendering to words is naturally the last, and if he doesn't surrender, there will not be much loss to himself. Even if Tang Jun is gone, Zhao Jun is not afraid of anyone.

Chaoyang County, a large county in the east of the 'Spring' Mausoleum Prefecture, now, here the war horses neigh, and the soldiers come and go. Whether it is the faces of the soldiers and generals here, or the faces of ordinary people, there is a nervous 'color'.

Xiang Yan, the main general of the Tang Army's rebellion, is now also starting to have a headache, 14,000 soldiers, what is the future, this needs to be considered by him. Self-reliance? Xiang Yan didn't think about it, he knew his ability very well, being a general was different from being a prince of a place. Besides, 14,000 soldiers are indeed a lot, if five or six years ago, like King Zhao, started at the end of the year, there would have been a chance to succeed. But now, there is no chance.

After killing the main general, Xiang Yan was very clear about his current situation, and immediately took control of the land of the three counties and also took over the treasury of the three counties. However, after statistics, the grain in these three counties was only enough for the needs of 14,000 troops for half a month. As for armor, the reserves are also insufficient. However, fortunately, it is at the border with Zhao Jun, and the city defense equipment will be ready by then. However, he was surrounded by hungry wolves......

Xiang Yan learned a lesson from this rebellion, and after the rebellion, he broke up the whole army and reorganized it, but fortunately, the soldiers were all veterans, and the impact on combat strength was not great. However, he knew very well that his 14,000 soldiers were hitting stones with eggs against the army of the King of Luoyang and the Tang army, after all, he had no room for maneuver at all, nor did he have a stable rear, let alone a common people's base.

A few days after the rebellion, although there was no Tang army to quell the rebellion, the people in the three counties were all worried, and they would not go out easily. Even in order to win over the hearts of the people in these three counties, Xiang Yan directly exempted most of the taxes, but it still could not dispel the people's worries about the imminent war.

Just when Xiang Yan and other generals were at a loss for the future, they ushered in a glimmer of hope. However, this glimmer of hope made him feel a little tricky. First, the envoy of the king of Luoyang came to persuade Xiang Yan to lead his troops to surrender to the king of Luoyang and serve the king of Luoyang. In this way, not only can the suppression of the Tang army be exempted, but it will also be reused.

Then the envoy of the Tang army also came, and the arrival of the envoy of Tang Xian made Xiang Yan a little surprised. No matter what point of view, Tang Xian should not send an envoy, but directly send a large army. However, the army did come, and it was the 5,000 army that supported the 'Chun' Lingfu to defend the northern front, plus the original northern line of seven or eight thousand, totaling more than 10,000, which was equivalent to Xiang Yan's hands.

The condition given by Tang Xian's envoy was that he would be pardoned for all the crimes of Xiang Yan's department, and if he returned to the Tang army from the new one, he would lead an army alone, with an establishment of about 15,000. In addition, the three counties in the east of the 'Chun' Mausoleum are still under the jurisdiction of the Xiangyan Department. In addition, Tang Xian's envoy also used the affection of the same army to win over Xiang Yan. If it weren't for Xiang Yan's understanding, Tang Xian wouldn't have believed in himself who had rebelled anyway, and now he was being wooed, just because he was unable to suppress it, and he would have returned to the Tang Army directly under the persuasion of several former robes.

Before Xiang Yan could get his breath, the envoy of Zhao Jun also came, and the purpose of Zhao Jun's envoy was naturally the same as the previous two. Among the three princes, the Zhao army is the strongest, whether it is the king of Luoyang or the king of Tang, they are far inferior. But Zhao Jun did not give any good conditions. Only Xiang Yan's department was promised to be accepted, but the lieutenant generals and ordinary non-commissioned officers of the army were only used after verification and reorganization, and they were arranged in various positions.

If it is said that he is alone, Xiang Yan definitely took refuge in Zhao Jun directly. For him, the king of Luoyang is the enemy, in the past two months, the Tang army and the army of the king of Luoyang have fought dozens of times, with tens of thousands of casualties on both sides, how can Xiang Yan take refuge in the king of Luoyang?

But another alternative is not a good idea, if other people can be pardoned by the Tang Army, but as the chief general of the rebel army, how can he be pardoned by Tang Xian? Even if it is pardoned at this time, it is because Tang Xian can't help himself. Xiang Yan believes that once Tang Xian can control himself, then the charge of rebellion must be borne by himself. Now he doesn't want to die for the Tang Army.

Zhao Jun is in line with his choice, and in addition, Xiang Yan also wants to join Zhao Jun and be a pure leading general. But Zhao Jun not only did not give any good conditions, but had strict requirements for the soldiers under his command. Xiang Yan is the lord of an army, and now he is leading the brothers to rebel against the 'rebellion', and he cannot but consider a way out for the brothers. Therefore, Xiang Yan, who was difficult to decide, still decided to let several generals under his command come to discuss.

"Brothers, now that we have rebelled and become rebels, what do you think of our future path?" At this moment, there are only seven people who can sit in the inner hall except for Xiang Yan, and these seven people are all Xiang Yan's cronies, so to speak, they all have a life-and-death 'relationship' with Xiang Yan.

"Brother Xiang, junior brother, I am a rough person, and I really don't have any opinions about this kind of thing that concerns the overall situation. In short, whatever the eldest brother says, the brothers do as well. A sturdy Chinese character who was not under Xiang Yan said in a rough voice.

"Yes, big brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" The rest of the people also said in unison. It's not that they're polite, it's that they're really not very good at these big things. You know, among them, the highest is only a general, and there is no high enough insight to specify any way out.

After the rebellion, they were also worried in the past few days, and they understood that this day was not easy. They are still only lieutenant generals, and their heads are as big as a fight all day long, and there is still the heart to think about this. Besides, when Xiang Yan said this at this time, he must have had his own thoughts, and they didn't bother to think about it. Since then, they have been called brothers in the past few days, and they also believe that Xiang Yan will not harm them.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then I will say it." Since yesterday, we have come here with three waves of messengers, all of whom have come to persuade them to surrender. ”

"Three 'waves'? Big brother, who are they? I think there should be someone with Tang Xian. At this moment, his life is not easy. However, we must not take refuge in Tang Xian, ordinary soldiers may be fine, but we brothers, there is absolutely no good end. One of them said in a deep voice.

"Tang Xian's people, Luoyang's Wang Situ Che's people, and Zhao Jun's people. Tang Xian's condition was to forgive us for our crimes, allow us to continue to command these 14,000 soldiers, and even cede the three eastern counties to us. ”

"Hmph...... Tang Xian said it nicely, forgive us? That's because at this moment he is busy sorting out the internal 'commotion' and 'chaos' and cleaning up the brothers of the former Shence Army. In addition, the enemy in the north was approaching, and he had to do so. When he has the strength, he will definitely settle accounts after the fall. The younger brother thought that Tang Xian should not think about it. ”

"Yes, continue to command these 14,000 soldiers, but the food and grass materials needed for this army must be obtained from Tang Xian. Once...... As for the three eastern counties, if the army of the King of Luoyang goes south, we will be fighting alone, and Tang Xian will definitely let us fight to the death with the people of the King of Luoyang, and will not send support. ”

Xiang Yan nodded and said, "I think the same way, since that's the case, Tang Xian will be excluded." Only the king of Luoyang and Zhao Jun remained. The conditions given by the King of Luoyang were similar to those of Tang Xian, and we continued to command the soldiers under our command and assisted the army of the King of Luoyang to occupy the entire territory of the 'Chun' Mausoleum. ”

"What about Zhao Jun? What are the conditions they give? The king of Luoyang is an enemy of us, and I don't know how many of our brothers have been killed, surrendering to him? Hmph......" Hu Yong, the strong man who spoke first, said in a muffled voice. For them, Zhao Jun is more attractive. In addition, Zhao Jun now has no grudge against Tang Jun.

Xiang Yan said Zhao Jun's conditions aside, and among the several people, some people frowned slightly. According to Zhao Jun, they will lose their current power and will have to start afresh among Zhao Jun. The soldiers under his command will also be broken up and reorganized. In this way, their generals, who have more than 10,000 troops, will lose their advantage on the left and right.

"Zhao Jun's conditions are too harsh, so what's the use of us taking refuge in him?"

"I think 'quite' is good, our brothers are all people who dare to fight and fight, are we afraid that we will not be reused in the Zhao army?"

"I also think it's better to belong to Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun said this, it shows that people sincerely accept us, at least, I am not worried that King Zhao will attack us in the future because of our incompatibility and self-respect."

"Why don't you attach yourself to the king of Luoyang, but if you want him to agree, we won't 'intervene' in the south to attack the Tang army?"

The seven of them were immediately divided into two factions because of this, and gave two different answers. In this regard, Xiang Yan has no other thoughts, and this surrenders to others, so he naturally has to think clearly for himself.

"Big brother, what do you mean?" Hu Yong looked at Xiang Yan, who was silent, and asked.

Xiang Yan glanced at a few people and said, "If I am alone, I will directly join Zhao Jun." The general trend of the world is still clear, and the Zhao army occupies half of the world, as long as they are well prepared, they can wave their troops south at any time and dominate the world, there is no problem at all. And what are the other princes doing now? and they fought against each other, but they afflicted the people above the land. However, it is about 14,000 soldiers, and we should deliberate and make decisions. ”

"In addition, we are rebels now, and no matter who they turn to, they will not be reassured, nor will they rely on us, but only for temporary use. How easy is it to establish yourself in a new region? Could it be that if you take refuge in the king of Luoyang, you can support the army? What about our food and grass? Where did it come from? When we took refuge in the king of Luoyang, and the king of Luoyang let us march, do we have the ability to refuse? Is there still the right to choose again at that time? ”

"In the past few days, I have seen that the people in the three counties have a bitter face, and I can't help but worry about the people here. Can we protect them? What can be done for them? The people here do not support us at all, and even, in their opinion, our rebellion has brought them one step closer to the war. ”

"I'm thinking, if these three counties become the land ruled by Zhao Jun, what will be the situation? That's the only thing we can do for the people here. ”

Xiang Yanyan, several people were silent for a moment, they all understood that what Xiang Yan said was reasonable, but now they are all generals and colonels who have led thousands of troops, and they have entered the Zhao army, and they want to start anew, and the army in their hands will also be reorganized, they are indeed unwilling.

"Okay, since I have said it to the eldest brother, the younger brother is willing to join Brother Xiang and join Zhao Jun. If we had more than 10,000 troops a few years ago, I was confident that I would fight it, but now ...... The people of the south have been suffering from war and chaos for a long time, so let's do the last good thing for the people here. After a few moments of silence, one of them spoke loudly.

Among the others, there may be some unwillingness, but no matter what Xiang Yan said, or the current situation, they are not allowed to delay for too long. After some deliberation, Xiang Yan finally decided to demote Zhao.

After deciding on it, Xiang Yan didn't dare to delay, and directly sent someone to invite the envoy of Zhao Jun to discuss. For the envoys of the other princes, he did not directly refuse, because he needed time, at the very least, to ensure that the land of the three counties and the more than 10,000 soldiers followed him completely and surrendered to the Zhao army.

When the news reached Runan, Yuzhou, Feng Ziming smiled indifferently, and he was not surprised by this. As long as the rebel commander is not too stupid, he should see who is the best person to follow. Immediately, 10,000 soldiers of the Zhao army approached the territory of the three counties in the east of the 'Chun' Lingfu. At a loss for everyone, the Tang rebels changed their banners and became part of the Zhao army.

Of the more than 10,000 rebels, 8,000 were willing to join the Zhao army, and the rest were tired of the war and returned home. In this regard, Feng Ziming did not stop it, these are also the basic strategies of Zhao Jun all along, for the surrender of pawns, let it be voluntary.

After the 8,000 rebels changed their banners and merged into the Zhao army, Tang Xian's envoys and the envoys of the king of Luoyang discovered that they had been deceived. After receiving the answer that Zhao Jun would never take the initiative to use force against other princes, he secretly scolded in his heart and left here.
