Early in the morning of August 30, Zhang Jianxiong, He Jiyun, and Bing Shaohui, three Guannan marshals, came to resign and return to the town. Seeing that the three of them were shouldering heavy responsibilities www.biquge.info Zhang Yue led his personal guards to see them off all the way, and sent Shi Chenghong and Liu Wenbai of the Third Division of the Northwest Army to lead 10,000 soldiers to accompany them.

The army walked ahead before dawn, and the remaining were five or six hundred carriages, thousands of pack horses loaded with ordnance and baggage, and marched south along the official road on the east bank of the Zuli River.

"The lord has opened my eyes to this army, but it's a pity that although Songpan has 10,000 town soldiers and 10,000 township soldiers, the town army is still capable of fighting, but the discipline and obedience are worse in comparison. Although the army was established and equipped with the same as the three divisions in Huining, there was no time to reorganize. Zhang Jianxiong held the teacup and smiled regretfully.

"Isn't it, I received a letter from Mr. Feng last winter, and it took 10,000 soldiers of my Fengzhou Weisheng Army to reorganize, and I barely changed the formation, and it was empty and not godly!" Bing Shaohui said.

"In this way, Xingyuan Mansion is much better, before Xiang Xingmin was in the town, military and political affairs were well managed, and after a certain took over, it was also reorganized last winter, and after changing clothes, 20,000 soldiers can be pulled out, so that 40,000 main forces on the North Road are completely enough." He Jiyun also said with confidence.

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "This battle is based on Hualong as the main general, Bing envoy Jun is the vice-president, Shi Chenghong and Liu Wenbai lead the Northwest Army as horses, and the step is Yu Hou, and the date of dispatch should not exceed September 20 at the latest, because Jiangnan Yaozhongyu, Zhou Xingfeng, Yang Shouzhen, and Chen Yingtai will send troops on the day of the Double Ninth Festival. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。

In the afternoon and evening of the same day, the Jiedu Zhizhi Office of Shannan Dongdao, the Hanshui Wharf of Ruishan Town, five miles south of Xiangzhou City, Han Sheng led a commander of the Military Intelligence Department and 50 soldiers to escort him, and took a boat from Ezhou to the north from Hanshui again.

Although the lord had already written to Xiang Xun, Xiang Xun was also an old minister of Taizu Qiandi, although he had a good personal relationship with Zhang Yue, but he did not send an envoy to run in person, and many things were not well negotiated, so Han Sheng took on the task of going south to liaison.

"Mr. Han! There are only nine days left, should you post it first or go directly to the door? "The Southwest Branch of the Military Intelligence Department was originally located in Yuezhou, and Yang Shouzhen recovered Ezhou in the fifth year of Xiande, and the general station was also moved, because Ezhou was the intersection of Zhou, Southern Tang, Jingnan, and the old feudal towns of Machu, which was more convenient for the General Administration. The commander who accompanied Han Sheng this time was originally the head of the Yuezhou army, named Cai Zhongxun.

Han Sheng glanced back at Cai Zhongxun, secretly thinking that this person was not very suitable for doing fine things. Obviously, he has contacted Xiang Xun many times, and if he has the heart, he will definitely make preparations with both hands. On the one hand, they secretly prepared for war, so that they could send troops to respond when the time came. On the other hand, an envoy will definitely be sent back to Beijing to inquire about the situation between the DPRK and China, but there has been no reply so far, that is, no decision has been made.

"No hurry! Ruishan Town is not far from the Xiangzhou Military Camp, let's stay here tonight, inquire about the news first, and then suddenly come to the door tomorrow morning. ”

Han Sheng replied, stopped a passer-by and inquired, and quickly found a small inn to stay, and sent Cai Zhongxun and other fifty soldiers to go out after settling down, and Cai Zhongxun reported in the evening that the Xiangzhou army had been practicing since it had been assembled recently.

Han Sheng's heart was like a mirror, and he went to the Jiedu Mansion early the next morning, and asked the doorman to hand over the name of Wang Zhangyue of Longxi County, and waited for half an hour, and sure enough, the doorman took him to the front hall of the official mansion behind the government to face the training, and summoned the servants to serve tea.

After a while, seeing Xiang Xun coming in from outside, Han Sheng hurriedly got up and saluted: "Servant Han Sheng came to pay a visit on the order of my king, presumably the letter from my king before, Xiang Envoy Jun has already received it, and has also sent an envoy back to Tokyo, and now the time to send troops is approaching, I don't know what to do?" ”

"However, the prince of a county is boasting in front of Xiang Mou, when Xiang Mou fought from Taizu, he Zhang Yuanzhen was still in the countryside of Jizhou, and now that the first emperor is gone, is he impatient?" Xiang Xun looked at Han Sheng with a smile, but his tone was not friendly.

Han Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "As far as Han knows, Xiang Jun has been out of town since Xiande in the second year, and he has never had the opportunity to return to Tokyo to take charge of the forbidden army, so who is Zhao Yuanlang?" What does it do? But it is above such heroes as Xiang Envoy, if my lord had not taken precautions and made arrangements earlier, he would now only have the same fate as the Envoy, but he could see through and prepare for contingencies in advance, so he couldn't talk about urgency, right? ”

"But even so, he ran out of Tokyo at this time, if Zhao Yuanlang makes a move, will Tokyo City still be saved? What did he want to do in Kansai? I'm afraid it's also ill-intentioned, right? When the first emperor Guo Rong died, Xiang Xun never returned to Beijing, and heard about some things that happened in Tokyo afterwards, but he didn't know much about the specific inside story.

Han Sheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the envoy is closed to the news, and he doesn't know how the forbidden army in Tokyo City is deployed, right?" At least for a period of time, he Zhao Yuanlang didn't have the courage to take risks, but he couldn't drag it to sit big, so it was the right time for me to take charge of Jiangling, no matter what, someone in the world must solve it, the court! Xiang Envoy Jun is not unclear, why be sarcastic! ”

"Capture Jiangling, and then cut down Shu, is this step too big, his appetite is not small, but he doesn't want to think about whether he can eat it!" Xiang Xun's tone softened a little, since receiving Zhang Yue's letter, he has weighed between the court and Zhang Yue countless times, but he still tends to have more courts. Zhao Kuangyin also handed him a letter when he went south, but he didn't think about it at all.

Han Sheng smiled, and understood in his heart that Xiang Xun was an old handsome man like him, and he was born as an old minister of Taizu Qiandi, wouldn't it seem too undisciplined if he was happy and like-minded, although his words were disrespectful, but he was a little reserved.

It's very simple, as a foreign marshal, if you are loyal to the court, you will become the object of prevention, and your fame and wealth will be lost sooner or later. But if you follow others to raise troops, the strength at hand is a bargaining chip to continue the glory and wealth. I haven't seen the change of five generations, and there are several local marshals who have raised troops to serve the king.

Of course, the reason why Xiang Xun should be recruited to send troops to Jiangling together is because in the southwest, there must be a capable marshal in charge, but if someone else is replaced, Zhang Yue is not at ease.

The matter was almost over, and Han Sheng hit the railway while it was hot: "My king's strategy has already begun to be implemented, even if Xiang Envoy Jun is unwilling to become a jade, Langzhou Wuping Medicine will meet again, and Eyue Yang Shouzhen will still send troops, and the certainty of success is still very large, at most, it will take a little longer, because it will take care of the aftermath." If that is the case, please think twice! After three days, please reply! ”
