Xiao Qingyun saw the truce signed by Lan Jing'an and Xie Weining. At the same time, through Lan Jing'an's handwritten letter, I knew that she had transferred Jingzhou reinforcements to Xiangyang to support, and Jiang Shaoheng's men and horses would also go to Jingzhou through Xia Guo.

In terms of troops, the present is the most difficult period for Xiangyang. As long as Jiang Shaoheng's men and horses arrive, basically the predicament of Xiangyang can be easily solved.

Shen Rongzhi was the first to express his opinion: "Lord, even if you immediately transfer troops from the northwest or Qingzhou to Jingzhou now, it is too late. In addition, we didn't have many people in Xuzhou, and most of them were Dayong's army, so Xuzhou's soldiers and horses could not be mobilized. ”

"In addition to the southern line, Yangzhou has a small number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized, and it must be less than 10,000 people. At present, we can only rely on the existing Jingzhou troops. As long as it can hold out for a month or two, the soldiers and horses led by General Jiang and the thousands of people in Yangzhou should be able to arrive. ”

"As for the person in command, I think the chief commander is the best candidate. Although Da Si Ming has not fought with us in the past year, she has grown up in the northwest military camp since she was a child, and she is very smart, so it should not be a problem in using troops and strategies. ”

"The most important thing is that the Great Si Ming is currently the highest, holding your private seal, and General Lu has entrusted Jingzhou's Tiger Talismans to her, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to mobilize people. She has a great reputation in Jingyang and is familiar with General Jiang, she should be the best person to lead the Xiangyang battlefield. ”

Although Feng Gu and the others had never seen Lan Jing'an, they were still extremely surprised that she was able to sign a truce with Xia Guo on her own. A few days ago, Lu Min sent someone back to send back the victory of Fancheng, and they all knew that it was all the credit of the great priest behind it. If you want to say that the great priest is incapable, no one will believe it.

However, Feng Gu and the others were most worried about the safety of Da Si Ming. The Great Secretary has just succeeded to the throne and has become the only person who is qualified to announce the restoration of the country, not to mention that the marshal will marry the Great Secretary of the Army, and she will have the identity of a queen in the future.

If she has three strengths and two shortcomings, not to mention that the marshal can't accept it, all the cadres and the people can't accept it.

Xiao Qingyun knew Lan Jing'an the best, and he knew that even if she was forced to come to Qingzhou at this time, she would be unwilling. She definitely can't sit idly by while watching Jingzhou's situation happen. She will inevitably wait for the entire Jingzhou battle situation to settle before she retreats.

Except for her, Lu Min and Jiang Shaoheng, Xiao Qingyun really didn't have anyone who was particularly relieved to be able to command the entire southern cadre army. Among the three, Xiao Qingyun preferred Ahri. As the commander of the First Army, the first thing is to have the prestige to be able to convince the public, and Ahri's identity is destined to be the only person who can balance the Southern Army and the Northwest Army.

In this case, for the sake of Xiangyang, for Jingzhou, and for the sake of millions of Jingyang people. No matter how worried he was and how reluctant he was, he had to grit his teeth and leave Ahri alone in Xiangyang to support the southern war situation.

Even though Xiao Qingyun was uncomfortable, he still made up his mind. The only thing he could do for her was to give her the maximum authority and pave the way for her to take power.

In addition, he also had to step up his attack on Zhao Hu's army in Licheng. If he can force Zhao Hu to retreat in a short period of time, Yuwen Moyuan must send someone to support Zhao Hu. But he Dayong currently has only so many troops, and he can only choose to withdraw Jingzhou's attack. After all, what he wanted more than Ahri was his own destruction.

Xiao Qingyun endured great reluctance and made a decision. Next, he had to discuss with Shen Rongzhi and others how to write the decree and how to mobilize the Yangzhou army to rescue.

Several people deduced on the sand table for a long time, and no matter how they calculated, they felt that the troops were tight. At present, the garrison of Yangzhou is only in two places, one is in the south of the border with Jiaozhou, and the other is the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang in the north of the border with Yuzhou, and the total number of troops is less than 15,000.

Since the soldiers and horses of Dayongyu Prefecture have been transferred to the vicinity of Xiangyang, the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang do not need to garrison troops accordingly. Therefore, Xiao Qingyun ordered 8,000 soldiers from Yinling, Yangquan and other places to rush to Xiangyang to rescue, and at the same time transferred another 3,000 soldiers and horses from Guangling in Xuzhou to supplement the guards of Lujiang and Jiujiang counties.

The tiger talisman in Xuzhou is currently here in Xiao Qingyun, but the tiger talisman in Yangzhou is still in the hands of Han Jinming, the pastor of Yangzhou Prefecture, and he ordered Han Jinming to hand over the tiger talisman to the general secretary when he sent reinforcements. He also clearly conveyed to Han Jinming that if the chief secretary ordered him to manage or mobilize Yangzhou's grain or other reserves, he must cooperate.

At the same time, Xiao Qingyun issued clear instructions to all the cadres and troops. The chief commander has the right to mobilize any part of the cadre army. If there is any disobedience, it will be dealt with by military law.

When Xiao Qingyun compared Lan Jing'an's letter with Pang Tu's letter, after a little thought, he knew that Pang Tu must have acted according to Lu Min's explanation in time because of his bad habits.

At that time, he was extremely angry in his heart, one was angry and asserted, and he did not obey the orders of his superiors. The two were afraid that Pang Tu's delay and self-righteousness would ruin Lan Jing'an's future arrangements, causing the defenders of Xiangyang to be unstable, thus ruining Xiangyang.

Xiao Qingyun personally wrote a sternly worded reply to Pang Tu. Criticize him for his arbitrary assertions, and make him sure to obey the orders of the great priest. Even if Lu Min comes to his senses, Da Si Ming will continue to be the commander of the Battle of Xiangyang.

After the discussion of Xiangyang was over, Xiao Qingyun left Shen Rongzhi alone and talked about the truce signed with Xia Guo. Bai Qingfeng hadn't had time to tell the two of them about the events of that day in Shenshan, so both of them were a little puzzled that Xie Weining would appear in Jiangling and sign such a truce.

There is nothing wrong with the truce itself. And it can be seen that basically both sides take what they need.

However, the strength of the Xia State is much better than that of the cadres who have just started the army for a year, and even if it is delayed for a while and then signed, it is not impossible. In addition to choosing to cooperate with the cadres, Xia Guo can also choose to help Dayong, I don't know why Xia Guoguo chose to stand up and support the cadres at this juncture.

And even if you want to talk about it, why did Xie Weining find Ahri, instead of Emperor Xia directly sending someone to contact him or Wan Mingde Jiang Shaoheng?

Xie Weining had met Ahri once when he was young, and the two of them had no contact before, so how could he think that Ahri was the one who could make decisions for himself? These are the things that make Xiao Qingyun most puzzled.

is as smart as Shen Rongzhi, and he just thinks that there must be a problem with this Xie Weining, but he can't think of the problem. Xiao Qingyun and Shen Rongzhi both felt that Xie Weining was very suspicious, after all, the cunning reputation of the Nine Emperor Princes of the Xia Kingdom was famous. But specifically what he has bad intentions, I can't see it yet.

At the beginning, Xie Weining single-handedly helped Xia destroy the 100,000 northwest army and captured 600 miles of land in Dayong.

However, due to the fact that except for Emperor Yankang Yuwen Moyuan and the original prince Yuwen Moqian, everyone thought that the reason why Emperor Wei killed Dingyuan Marquis was false, so no one thought about the conspiracy. Coupled with Xie Weining's deliberate concealment, and Yuwen Moqian was killed by Emperor Yan Kang for forcing the palace, the truth was quietly buried.

Xiao Qingyun and the others pondered for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason, so they had to put aside their hands and discuss the situation on the battlefield in Licheng. After two months of tug-of-war, Zhao Hu lost nearly 10,000 people, and the key was that one of his right-hand men died at the hands of the right general Chen Yang, which was definitely a big blow to him.

But I don't know how King Ding got in touch with Zhao Hu, so he took the remaining remnants and landed by sea from Donglai to Tatecheng, and joined Zhao Hu's army.

And Zheng Rong's men did not have a big ship that could cross the sea, so they could only look at the ocean and sigh, turn back by land, and were on the way to Licheng and Xiao Qingyun to converge.
