Chapter Ninety-Four: Let's Play a Big Game of Chess

In the next two days, there was also unrest in the calm of Tanzhou City, and there are several things worth mentioning:

The first thing can be said to be a happy event, the recruitment notices of supermarkets have been posted on the streets, and the high salary of 200 wen per month has caused a sensation in Tanzhou City, and has become the focus of street discussions.

The second thing is something that makes many people worry about it, the two horse infantry troops both instructed Zhou Xingfeng and Xu Wei to know what happened to Lu Dao, so they actually pulled out their respective armies and had a short confrontation up and down the Xuanwu Gate, but they quickly withdrew their troops. This inconspicuous event was later called "the precursor of the third stage of the Tanzhou chaos".

The third thing didn't get much attention. Ma Xixu issued a decree appointing Xu Qiong as the assassin of Mengzhou, and led 1,000 troops to Mengzhou (now Mengshan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region).

The fourth thing is to impose martial law on the Guiguan area, the border from Tanzhou to Langzhou, to the Chutang border, and the straight road from Guizhou to Tanzhou, and strictly investigate all suspicious people.

On the evening of October 23, Lin Feng finally waited for the storm he had been thinking about. As soon as the two met in the small courtyard of the Yellow Mansion, Feng Jingyun shouted: "Lord Lin, please be sure to promise Feng Mou, let me do the dragon in the future!" ”

Lin Feng looked at the wind and dust, hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and asked, "Have you been to see your injured brother?" ”

Feng Jingyun nodded, as soon as he came back in the afternoon, he found out that Lin Feng lived in the Huang Mansion, and was the first to see the special soldiers who were recuperating in the mansion, and two masters of the Xinglong Society were injured one after another, which made Feng Jingyun, who had missed the whole process of the battle with Panlong, feel very annoyed.

Lin Feng patted Feng Fengyun's shoulder and comforted him: "Panlong is really a small trouble, you can get rid of it by turning your hand, put it down for the time being." Tell me more about your spying information! ”

At this time, Xi Mucheng walked in with two cups of tea. Lin Feng introduced the two who had not yet met to each other, and then sat down and began to listen carefully to Feng Jingyun's report on the materials collected by the three of them - in the city of Guizhou, the commander Peng Yanhui commanded the army of more than 2,000 and presided over the military; Jingjiang's deputy envoy and Guizhou governor, Ma Xiyin, has nearly 1,000 guards and presides over political affairs; But the two seem to be incompatible, and they never see each other on the road, and they rarely meet, which is a major hidden danger in Guizhou's defense;

Mengzhou, located south of Guizhou, had less than 500 garrisons, Hezhou had only 300 garrisons, and Zhaozhou had even fewer garrisons, with only 200 garrisons, and the city wall was not repaired after it was damaged two years ago;

After the Han army captured Mongolia and returned to Zhaoer two years ago, it did not withdraw from Wuzhou, which is closest to the Han border, and currently garrisoned 2,000 troops in Wuzhou, and Wu Huaien, the envoy of the northwest, led a large army to garrison Dongkai in the lower reaches of Wuzhou;

Wu Huaien, a native of Panyu (now Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province), learned that he was born as an internal servant, and had been in the Southern Han Dynasty for nearly 20 years.

Wu Huaien's rule was extremely strict, and the garrison battalion was extremely tightly defended, and it was impossible to find out the specific number of troops; However, for several days in a row, it was observed that a different number of reinforcement convoys passed through the Li River, and the infantry troops successively settled in the barracks along the riverbank, and the number of military flags in the barracks continued to increase. It is assumed that the total number of troops at present is not less than 20,000......

After listening to the report, Lin Feng asked Feng Jingyun if he had seen the army that allowed Qiong to go to Mengzhou on his return trip, and Feng Jingyun replied that he had seen it in Liling, but the group was very long and marched very slowly.

Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, and continued to ask many details about the military and politics in the Guiguan area, and answered them one by one.

"Lord Lin, the former Tang Dynasty once took Guizhou as the governing place, set up Guiguan, set up a strategic observation envoy and Guizhou Thorn History, and led Gui, Wu, He, Lian, Liu, Fu, Zhao, Huan, Rong, Gu, Sitang, Gong, and Xiang Thirteen Prefectures. Since ancient times, this area has been the concentration of hundreds of Yue in the south, the land is remote and barren, and the ethnic groups are mixed and mixed, which can be described as barbaric and uncivilized. Although the former Chu King Ma Yin's policy of recuperation and recuperation was contrived, and the sugar, tea, and kapok textile industries rose, the population was still small as a whole, the strength was weak, and the local war potential was not large. Xi Mucheng added next to him.

"In this way, the strategy we agreed on a few days ago still needs to be adjusted and refined again, so let's give Han Jun a bigger game of chess!" Lin Feng sighed.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Feng entered the Chu Wangfu alone and discussed with Ma Xicao and Ma Xichong for a morning. After that, a continuous stream of orders was issued from the palace of the king of Chu:

Tanzhou City implements martial law, and all personnel are strictly prohibited from going to the streets;

Liu Yan, the assassin of Chenzhou, immediately returned to Chenzhou and gathered troops to conquer the Tujia family of Panlong;

Urgently ordered to urge the Ministry of Permission to speed up the pace and arrive in Mongolia within eight days......

Because of the world-renowned struggle between the Ma brothers, Chu Guotan Prefecture is like the center of a spider web, and the development of various events is constantly affecting the outside world. Therefore, when a group of cavalry rushed to various places from the Chu Palace's palace along the Antai and Anle Avenue with the holy decree, it was like the heart of the net shook, and the whole cobweb shook with it, which not only shocked the people in Tanzhou City, but also quickly affected all parts of the Chu State, and even the entire world.

At this time, Jinling City, there were two cavalry from the city to report the emergency military situation, one was from the south of Hongzhou Zhenjie Du envoy, and the other was from Wuchang Jie Du envoy.

The emergency military information was directly reported to the palace of the king of Qi, and soon arrived at the place of Li Jingsui, the king of Qi. After Li Jingsui read the two military newspapers, he took the case and went straight to the palace to find his brother to report the good news.

The news from the Zhennan army was good news, Liu Yingyan and Li Yanwen of Chu led 3,000 cavalry, and brought the children of Ma Xiguang and Ma Xifan, the former kings of Chu, to Hongzhou to surrender, and asked the Holy Lord to decide;

The news from the Wuchang army is really good news, Lin Feng and Liu Renzhen jointly congratulated the saint, under the leadership of the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the Langzhou Ma Xicao Department won consecutive battles, Tanzhou City has been successfully captured, the war in Chu has been peaceful, and the return of Chu is just around the corner! After the most sorrowful of Daoxi, the two of them said that the thieves of the southern Han State were not dead, and they were heavily armed at the border, and they wanted to seize the Guiguan area.

After entering Chu, Lin Feng has never reported the progress of the war in front of him because the war has changed too quickly and is too far away from Jinling.

The two of them high-fived each other in the imperial study like children, cheering, Li Jing even turned his head and ordered a pot of wine to be served, and sat down with Li Jingsui to drink.

Halfway through the wine, Li Jing, whose face was flushed, asked Li Jingsui what he thought of dispatching the Wuchang army. Li Jing then drank all the full glass of wine, and said loudly: "Brother Huang, with the joint command of General Liu and Lin Feng, and the Chu State is responsible for all expenses, such an opportunity is hard to come by, and it must not be missed!" After teaching the eunuch generals of the Han State a lesson, according to the method played by Lin Feng, he left 10,000 troops to garrison Tanzhou, made a transition, and looked for an opportunity to make Ma Xicao and Ma Xichong turn their faces, and then put them in a nest, and it was logical to take over the Chu State. ”

"Good! Good! Good! At the invitation of General Liu and General Lin! Li Jing stood up excitedly, raised his glass to the sky, and muttered, "Father, my son lives up to your teachings, and finally expands the territory, and the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner, I hope you will continue to protect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the spirit of heaven!" ”
