Feng Ziming was stunned, and suddenly felt that what this young man named Li Feng said was very reasonable. A lot of things are different from looking at them on your own side and looking at them from the outside. In other words, he Feng Ziming had already seen this problem, and he still hoped that Situ Lei could hold back the army under Murong Cheng's command, so that the Yanzhou Mansion Army would not be swallowed up by the Wuwei Army.

Feng Ziming's face turned slightly pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Having said that, but now that the guards in the city are not in harmony, if it is not good, this quiet and peaceful Yanzhou City will fall into war." Don't you have a responsibility? In public, tell the information that should not be said. To say, the root of the current is the governor Xu Jie, but the cause is indeed you. ”

Zhao Xun sneered: "What are you still insisting on? What can you do without us pointing it out? Can you take the lead in killing Ding Qiang? Kill the envoys of the Tang Army and the Xuzhou Army? You can only completely anger them? Let them divide up your land of Yanzhou first. You're all stupid as pigs! Even Tang Xian, who only has the land of three prefectures, dares to gather people to stand on his own, can't the governor of Yanzhou, who occupies the righteousness of Yanzhou? What kind of assistance can Situ Lei bring to you, to withstand the strong enemies of the Wuwei Army, the Xuzhou Army, and the Tang Army? ”

Feng Ziming opened his mouth and didn't speak. It's not that he has nothing to say, it's that he didn't know that Xu Jie had introduced Situ Lei's people into Yanzhou City before.

Zhao Xun paused, stretched out his hand and pointed to the street in the distance outside the mansion, and said, "Look at it, the people who originally lived well under your rule may be displaced because of you." I don't know if I can live, and what is geometry? Okay, Lord Feng, since you are here, I will also give you a word, the assassination incident, we can not be entangled, anyway, we are also people who stay out of the matter, sit here, and watch the scenery in all directions. You, let's think about it, let's do the following. ”

Feng Ziming paused, and said calmly: "You are not the official of the Commercial Division of the Xiaoguo Army, if I guess correctly, this assassination must be related to your Xiaoguo Army!" ”

Zhao Xun smiled slightly and said, "Oh? Where's that? What proof does the Wind Lord have? Since my Xiaoguo Army Commercial Division was stationed in Yanzhou City, I have never interfered in your Yanzhou government affairs. ”

Feng Ziming stared at Zhao Xun and said in a deep voice: "You Xiaoguo Army really don't care about the situation in Yanzhou at all? If our Yanzhou army took refuge in Murong Cheng, would you still say that? Situ Lei's envoy has concealed us, the Wuwei Army, the Xuzhou Army, and the Tang Army, but it was planted in the hands of the Commercial Department of your Xiaoguo Army. I don't have any evidence, but this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Don't interfere in my Yanzhou affairs?" Let me ask, can your Xiaoguo army have foreign troops stationed in it to exercise commercial and trade work? ”

Zhao Xun smiled, did not answer directly, and said: "It is said that Xu Jie contacted Situ Lei this time and introduced Situ Lei's envoy into the Yanzhou City military camp, and even you didn't get any news?" ”

Feng Ziming suppressed the speculation in his heart and said in a deep voice: "What? Master Li is also starting to care about this? Yes, I didn't receive any news in this long history, but I was found by the officials of the Commercial Department of your Xiaoguo Army, doesn't this explain the problem? The officials of the Department of Commerce can be more powerful than our spies, and they are even stronger than the Armed Guards who are eyeing Yanzhou City, you are really powerful! ”

"So, has Lord Feng ever thought about changing owners?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"What?" Feng Ziming was stunned, and was beaten a little by Zhao Xun's words.

Zhao Xun said word by word: "Since Lord Feng can't get Xu Jie's trust, and Lord Feng can't give full play to his talents in the Yanzhou Mansion Army, why don't you go to his family?" The Yanzhou Mansion Army is no longer good, after Xu Jie's engagement, enemies are made on all sides, and it is difficult to survive! ”

Feng Ziming was stunned, and said in a cold voice: "I, Feng Ziming, the military governor of the Tang Tang Mansion, and the official of the imperial court, how can I surrender to your rebels!" ”

Zhao Xun laughed and said: "It's not Li who is boasting, Lord Feng, you ask yourself, compared with your Xiaoguo army and your Yanzhou army, whose people under their rule live better?" My Xiaoguo army started from the end of Weimo, but what I have always done, that is not for the people, according to the people in the north, to recover the three provinces in the east of the north, and to descend to the north of the Hu tribes. Can you Yanzhou government army do it? Can the imperial court do it? What else can they do besides playing small moves behind their backs? ”

"You are a court official? Lord Feng, do you still dare to say that your Yanzhou Mansion Army is the imperial army? Is the Wuwei Army the army of the imperial court? Why not surrender? Court? In your hearts, is this court Murong Cheng's court or Situ Lei's court? Lord Feng, it's not a good habit to deceive yourself! People, we must learn to see the facts clearly and see ourselves clearly. ”

Looking at the preachy expression of this young man named Li Feng, Feng Ziming suddenly felt aggrieved. He said coldly, "Hmph...... Even if what you say is reasonable, this official defected to the Wuwei Army, Situ Lei, or the Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army, which is not better than the Xiaoguo Army. Your Xiaoguo army is powerful, but you still can't reach here. Even if you have hundreds at the moment, you can't change the situation in Yanzhou. ”

Zhao Xun said lightly: "Really? Without the Yanzhou Mansion Army, would Wu Weijun and Situ Lei accept you? Perhaps, but do you think you would be better under them than under Xu Jie? Under Murong Cheng and Situ Lei, what kind of talents are not, who are they, a newcomer, if they want to get ahead, do you think it is easy? Even Ding Qiang, the general of the new Wuwei Army, is also fighting hard, wanting to make great achievements in Yanzhou, and taking the Wuwei Army as his heel. ”

"Not to mention Situ Lei, the power is far away in the west, and compared with our Xiaoguo army, it is even more difficult for him to reach out to the east. It's good that you have a single use, but if you don't, hum...... Xuzhou Army, this does not need me to say much, it started from a poor person and the Li family. It is difficult for outsiders to be reused. Moreover, it was already a dragon trapped in the shallows, trapped in the land of Xuzhou. The reason why it competes for the land of Yanzhou in the west is to open a gap to the west and want to swim the dragon out to sea. The Tang army is slightly better, but its sphere of influence is narrow, and if it can't create a piece of heaven in the land of Yanzhou, the way out is basically a foregone conclusion. Is there a better option than my Xiaoguo Army? ”

"Our Xiaoguo army is rectifying internal officials, there are very few honest and honest officials, and many local government offices are scarce. Could it be that Lord Feng doesn't have the idea of contributing to the people? Look beyond your vision, the people who are working hard, they need to have a strong support to support them. ”

Feng Ziming smiled coldly and said, "Your Xiaoguo Army is indeed extraordinary, and I admit this." But the land of Yanzhou is already the land of four wars, and your Xiaoguo army wants to reach out, but it can't reach it. How? Do you want me to be used by you, to mess up our connection with Situ Lei, and also to stir up our alliance with the Tang Army. What you need is not for the people of Yanzhou to live a peaceful and peaceful life, but for the land of Yanzhou to fight endlessly, and no force can gain a foothold in Yanzhou. Subsequently, when the Xiaoguo Army regained its energy, it appeared in the land of Yanzhou and occupied Yanzhou as a savior. Am I right? ”

Zhao Xun sighed, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, you are right." However, the people under the rule of my Xiaoguo army are better than the people in other places. Even if we don't interfere, will the war in the land of Yanzhou stop? I don't dare to say anything else, but in the land occupied by my Xiaoguo army, the people have their own land, and they are exempt from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Can anyone else do it? Temporary pain, in exchange for long-term stability, may be worth it. ”

"Besides, do you really think that my army of Xiaoguo can't go south now? The Tang army couldn't stop it, and it didn't dare to stop it. You Yanzhou Mansion Army, the same is true! Zhao Xun said in a loud voice.

Feng Ziming's face changed a few times, and finally he said goodbye and left, without saying anything more.

"Lord, this wind is ......" Seeing Zhao Xun fall into deep thought, Lin Menglong said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "He may have guessed who I am, this Feng Ziming, perhaps, can be used by us." ”

Lin Menglong was surprised: "Have you guessed the identity of the lord?" Isn't it dangerous for the lord to be here? The subordinates arranged for the lord to mix in the caravan and leave. ”

Zhao Xun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, whether he guesses it or not, I'm not in any danger, at least, it's not on the surface." The Yanzhou Mansion Army did not dare to openly attack the mansion of the officials of the Commercial Department of our Xiaoguo Army. Besides, if they really turn against us, we will make him uneasy in Yanzhou City. ”

"Wei Dong, immediately monitor the situation in the Governor's Mansion, and if there is any change, report it immediately!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice. Although there is no problem, it has to be prevented. Zhao Xun is not arrogant, he thinks that he is invincible in the world, and he can kill out of the city out of thin air.

Yanzhou Mansion Army, who is it teaming up with? Xu Jie is really willing to become Situ Lei's pawn? Feng Ziming, how to go down next depends on you. For Zhao Xun, the alliance between Xu Jie and Situ Lei does not affect his overall situation. Once Xu Jie really allied with Situ Lei, no, it should be said that he fell to Situ Lei, then, under Murong Cheng's order, the Wuwei Army would definitely start a war with the Yanzhou Mansion Army. But there is one thing that makes Zhao Xun a little worried, that is, the Shence Army in Yuzhou. If the Wuwei army Ding Qiang and the Yanzhou Mansion army go to war, then the Wuwei army in Yanzhou City and the Wuwei army in Yanzhou Mansion will be at a disadvantage, and at that time, Xu Jie doesn't care what imperial army you are or not the imperial army.

The Wuwei army is in decline, and the Xuzhou army and the Tang army will definitely not help, so Murong Chengcheng will order the Shence army in Yuzhou to go north and east. At that time, the land of Yanzhou will fall into the hands of Murong Cheng. Even if the Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army join forces with the Yanzhou Mansion Army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the army of the Wuwei Army and the Shence Army. If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get hold of this Yanzhou land. More importantly, this is the passage for the Xiaoguo Army to go south, and once it is blocked, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Xiaoguo Army.

Feng Ziming walked towards his mansion with a lot of worries, and his mind was also pondering the other party's words. Yanzhou Mansion Army, where should it go now?

Zhao Xun is right, Feng Ziming does have some guesses, this young but domineering young man may be Zhao Xun, the master of the Xiaoguo Army. But he also guessed that this was a high-ranking official in the upper echelons of the Xiaoguo Army. But in any case, he didn't report anything back to Xu Jie, including his guessing that this Xiaoguo Army had something to do with the assassination case in Yanzhou City. Although he had no evidence, as long as he informed the Xuzhou Army, the Tang Army, and the Wei Army of his speculations and inferences in detail, he would definitely make these people turn their hostile eyes to the Xiaoguo Army.

But no matter how you turn, there is something undeniable, that is, these forces, and now the focus is still on Xu Jie and Situ Lei's envoys.

Feng Ziming didn't know what Xu Jie and Situ Wen were talking about, thinking about it, there should be no substantial progress. Now, Xu Jie hopes that Situ Lei can send the Yongzhou army eastward, at least to support the Yanzhou government army and offset the Shence army of the universe. If Situ Lei couldn't even do this, there was no need for the Yanzhou government army to talk to him. When Situ Lei turned around, I was afraid that the Yanzhou Mansion army would disappear.

The Armed Guards were still stepping up their war preparations, and the Armed Guards soldiers and soldiers dangling in the streets had disappeared, although the people were happy that the soldiers had disappeared. But more people rushed to a hint of coolness. The coolness was not because of the weather, but because of the murderous aura on the soldiers.

After Feng Ziming temporarily calmed down the oppression caused by the assassination case, he saw Xu Jie again, but Xu Jie's expression was not as good as a few days ago. The negotiation did not go well! Feng Ziming thought so. Thinking about it, Situ Lei is now busy with the conquest of Shu, and he really can't take care of Yanzhou, which is far to the east.

"Dudu, I have already talked to the people of the Tang Army, the Xuzhou Army, and the Xiaoguo Army, and they will put aside the persecution of the assassin case for the time being!"

Xu Jie raised his somewhat tired face, smiled faintly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, hard work!" ”

"Governor, how are you talking to Situ Wen?" Feng Ziming asked in a low voice.

Xu Jiechang sighed, and after a while, he said angrily: "Fuck, this Situ Lei just wants me to die!" What peace talks? It was completely for my Yanzhou government army to draw the attention of the Wuwei Army and even the Shence Army in the east. Delay Murong Cheng's development in the east! If you want soldiers or not, you want money or not, but you just promise us that after the big war comes, you won't let us become rebels! Bah, in this case, we might as well be rebels! ”

When Fengzi heard this, he sighed in his heart. Sure enough, this Situ Lei can't bring any effective support to the Yanzhou government army!

"Feng Ziming, you say, did I do something wrong! I knew this earlier, it was better to ally with the Tang Army at the beginning! Even if you can't dominate the land of Yanzhou, you won't be bullied like this again! Xu Jie said in a deep voice.

Feng Ziming said: "Why did the governor say this! There is no such thing as a perfect plan! Since Situ Wen can't talk to us, we don't need to talk to him anymore. Now, it's not just us who are anxious, but also Situ Wen. Governor, why don't you forgive them for a while. ”

Xu Jie was stunned and said: "I want to too, but now, Ding Qiang's attitude is getting worse and worse, and the military guards of the three prefectures in the southwest have also begun to act, and it seems that they are going north." The governors of the southern provinces are all thinking about me asking for instructions, so that I can make a decision early! ”

Fengzi said: "Don't worry! This is just Ding Qiang's preparation in order to prevent us from reaching an agreement with Situ Leida. Nowadays, the external forces in Yanzhou are not only the Wuwei Army, but also the Xuzhou Army and the Tang Army! Governor, why don't you ask the envoy of the Tang Army to talk about it? You know, our original intention was to ally with the Tang Army. Besides, Tang Xian of Liangzhou Mansion hasn't made any moves yet. ”

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "Talk to the envoy of the Tang Army? Does it work? ”

Feng Ziming smiled: "It doesn't work, let's not talk about it for the time being." But we are not in a hurry to talk to Situ Wen, but to talk to the envoy of the Tang Army, then, it is Situ Wen who is in a hurry. Besides, if we don't agree with Situ Lei, Ding Qiang will not act rashly, unless he wants to fight his 35,000 and Wuwei soldiers. When the time comes, he, the general of the Armed Guards, will not be able to do it. We reached an alliance agreement with the Tang Army, and Ding Qiang did not dare to act rashly. The Tang Army has seventy or eighty thousand veterans, but it is not a guy like Situ Lei who just talks and doesn't practice in the land of Yanzhou. ”

Xu Jie hesitated again: "But in this way, wouldn't Ding Qiang have to fight back even more, he doesn't want to see my Yanzhou Mansion army getting stronger and stronger." ”

Feng Ziming shook his head and said, "Otherwise, for Murong Cheng, Situ Lei's threat is not many times greater than that of the mere Tang Army. Ding Qiang, as Murong Cheng's subordinate, naturally knew about it. Therefore, even if he finishes his martial guards, he has to stop it. But if we dare to have any deep connection with the Tang Army, he can only advance slowly, and will not move the whole army! ”

Xu Jie smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about it, go back again." Well, I'll just give it a try. ”

Leaving the Governor's Mansion, Feng Ziming's brows furrowed tightly, and he remembered the words of the young man named Li Feng again. Situ Lei is still unreliable after all! And Xu Jie, does he have the ambition to be self-reliant, or in other words, he has no ambition to be self-reliant.

Xu Jie turned to get intimate with the envoy of the Tang Army, which suddenly made the Wu Wei Army and the Xuzhou Army look sideways, and they didn't know what Xu Jie was doing. But they also guessed that maybe the peace talks between Xu Jie and Situ Lei were not as good as they imagined.

As Feng Ziming expected, in the next period of time, whether it was the Wuwei army in Yanzhou City or the Wuwei army in the three southeastern prefectures, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Although it looks like a big war is coming, there has been no sign of a large army.

The government troops around the three southeastern provinces also sent back news that the Wuwei army did not leave the garrison, at most it was a very small number of scouting horses, and carried out some reconnaissance activities under the surrounding cities. At least, judging from the various signs of the Wuwei Army, it seems that there is no intention of storming the surrounding prefectures and counties.

The Tang Army, the Xuzhou Army, and especially Ding Qiang, were all waiting for the results of the alliance between Xu Jie and Situ Lei's envoys, and even, whether it was the Governor's Mansion or outside the major military camps in the city, there were spies from all forces, monitoring the movements day and night.
