Seeing the more than 1,000 war horses brought back by Zhao Yu into the barn, Shang Yunxi couldn't help but sigh, "I knew this was the case, why did I bother in the first place?"

Zhao Yu, who handed over the war horse in his hand to his subordinates, also walked over a few steps, and said with emotion: "The Privy Council is really generous, and gave us 1,500 war horses in one breath, although the number is not very much, but now the war horses in Xuzhou are not surplus, and they are a little ashamed to be so generous." ”

"Yes, who would have thought that in just one year, Xuzhou would have such a weather? Shang Yunxi shook his head, his big hand stroking the rough horse pen.

The horses in the horse pen are all high-grade war horses, and there are less than two cavalry armies in the armies under Shang Yunxi, about 3,500 horses.

After annexing Xuzhou this time, it was actually supplemented by 1,500 war horses, which has to be said to be an unexpected surprise.

Of course, this was obtained from the military horse farm of the Daliang army in Pucheng, but in any case, it is quite rare that the Privy Council can replenish his army with more than a thousand war horses.

"Why did the general say this? We are all given by the general, how can we have different intentions?" Zhao Yu hurriedly comforted: "Besides, it's not too late now, the king of the county is definitely not the lord of Shoucheng, although he did not agree to us entering Huazhou, but it will definitely be of great use to us in the future." ”

"Don't say the previous words in the future, we are all the kings of the county now, and everything is subject to the king's decree. Shang Yunxi waved his hand and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that the king of the county is still unwilling to fight with the Shatuo people at this time, but if you take Caozhou, the Shatuo people will be able to endure it?"

"I'm afraid that the status of Caozhou can't be compared with Huazhou, Huazhou is condescending, and it is close to the big river, if it is occupied by us, the Shatuo people will take Bianjing, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep on the pillow. Zhao Yu stroked the short beard under his chin, "I'm thinking, the Privy Council asked me to wait for the supplementary war horse, I'm afraid it's not entirely because of trust and importance, I'm afraid it's also a task entrusted to us." ”

"Heshuo?" Shang Yunxi stroked his thick beard under his chin, "It should be meant, I am afraid that the king of the county will see it as useless, that is the worst, Wei Bojun is a hard bone here, if the king of the county wants to cross the river to the north to attack Wei Bo, it will be a tough battle, but I think that the Privy Council will take the eastern states of Dezhen at that time." ”

"Hehe, at that time, the Wang privy envoy was born in the Chengde Wang family, and the Wang family still has a deep influence in the Chengde Prefectures, if the county king wants to be the enemy of the Khitans, the Chengde Prefectures must be laid out in advance. ”

Zhao Yu is also a battlefield general, he has followed Shang Yunxi for many years, and there is no shortage of overall views, and he also sees that Xuzhou is very vigilant to the north, even more than the Shatuo people in the west, so he said so.

"Di, Cang, and Dezhou?" Shang Yunxi groaned slightly, "It's just Dizhou and Dezhou, Cangzhou is afraid that it is not easy to do, not that I am afraid of Zhang Chujin, but the Khitan people and Lulong Liu Shouguang in the north." ”

"The relationship between Liu Shouguang and the Khitan people has always been very delicate, the Khitan people want to talk down, but they look forward and backward, Liu Shouguang wants to tear his face, but he is afraid of self-defeating, this is hemp straw to beat the wolf - two are afraid. Zhao Yu sneered, "But the Khitans are ambitious, their strength is there, and sooner or later they will have to talk about it, this is not something that Liu Shouguang can stop by being tough or compromising, and if he has no strength, he will not be able to complain." ”

"That's a good point, if you don't have the strength, you can only be beaten passively. Shang Yunxi muttered, "The Reform Army is like this, and so is the Taining Army, but the county king can come over step by step like this, why?"

"It's hard to say, some people say that it is the destiny of heaven, some people say that the time is good, some people say that the king of the county wins the hearts of the people, and some people say that the king of the county can recruit talents, maybe there are all of them. Zhao Yu was also very emotional, "But I still can't figure it out, from a corner of Huzhou to Huainan, how can the king of the county continue to defeat the strong with the weak, well, the magic is a reason, but it's because of this?"

Shang Yunxi was silent.

The situation is pressing, the Shatuo people in the Central Plains have conquered the city, it has been unstoppable, the collapse of the Liang Dynasty has become an irreversible situation, and it is even rumored that there are people within the Liang who invited the Xuzhou army to enter Bianjing, but they were refused, which shows the bad situation.

He was attached to Da Liang, but now it seems that his previous choice was wrong, Da Liang is not a big tree that can be relied on, and Jiang Feng, who gave up, has become a shining powerhouse, and now he has to change this situation.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng was quite generous, which Shang Yunxi also had to admire, he did not send someone to take over his men and horses as he imagined, but let himself continue to lead the army, and even provided himself with food, weapons, and war horses.

In fact, the situation of Yu Mingzhen, Lu Qiming, Wang Shouxin, Liu Yansi and Zhu Mao also proved that Jiang Feng's generosity and self-confidence were confident, and Shang Yunxi once again confirmed this in himself.

As for why Jiang Feng was able to rise to the top in just a few years and become a powerful vassal to replace Daliang, Shang Yunxi couldn't say the specific reason, but the facts are the best proof, so he had to admit it, and he had to accept it willingly.

"I don't want to think so much, now the county king has become the only banner in the north that can compete with the Hu people, I'm just curious, how the county king will deal with the relationship with the Shatuo people, as well as Nanyang and Caizhou. Shang Yunxi smiled and said: "It's okay if the Shatuo people want to attack us, if the Shatuo people want to keep peace with our Xuzhou, but they want to make a move against Nanyang and Caizhou, or only against Nanyang, what will we do in Xuzhou?"

Zhao Yu also laughed, "General, this question is also very curious, when the county king left Huaiyou and went north, Nanyang highlighted the surprise army and attacked and occupied Guangzhou, which is the hometown of the county king;

Both of them looked at each other and smiled, and indeed felt that this question was very exciting.

"King Jun, has the Jin army really entered the city?" Guo Tao's hand was bruised on the back of his hand, his hand tightly grasped the armrest of the Hu chair, his face was slightly red, and he looked at Jiang Feng and asked word by word.

"The news from the scouts should be like this, the evening before yesterday, the Liang army stationed in Bianjing City had opened the city gate and let the Jin army enter the city. Jiang Feng sighed softly, what was expected was neither fast nor slow, anyway, it was over.

"Then what is the situation in Bianliang City now?" Guo Tao had already wanted to leave Xuzhou and return to Chang'an, but he learned that the Jin army was victorious in Zhongmu again, and it was very likely that he would be in Bianliang City, so he stayed in Xuzhou, hoping to understand the movements of the Jin army at the first time.

Unexpectedly, after the first battle of Zhongmu, less than twenty days, the Jin army really came to the city, and it entered the city so easily, and the Liang army didn't even have a decent resistance.

"At present, the situation in Bianliang City is not known, but it is said that Bianliang City has only a curfew, and it seems that the city gate is not closed during the day, but if you want to leave Bianliang City with your family, I am afraid that it will not work. "Jiang Feng spread his hands, "However, before the Jin army came to the city, a large number of people fled outside the city, fleeing in the direction of Chenliu and Yongqiu, and some fled along Baigou in the direction of Caozhou. ”

"Then did the Jin army send troops to chase after these fleeing people?" Guo Tao asked again, from this point you can see the thoughts of the Shatuo people.

"Not yet. Jiang Feng shook his head, which also made him a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the Shatuo people are mainly cavalry, as long as they control Bianliang City, they can send cavalry troops to chase along the official road and drive these people back to Bianliang City, but the Shatuo people did not do this, but let these people escape.

According to Chen Wei, Cui Shang, and Wang Miao, it is estimated that the logistics supply of the Shatuo people has also reached the limit, and Bianliang City has already experienced a great exodus in the first two months, and the real upper wealthy class has almost fled, and the rest are middle and lower class urban people.

Perhaps the Shatuo people also realized this, believing that the ordinary people in these cities were of little value, and that staying might increase the pressure on food supplies, so they took this countermeasure.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Shatuo people have different attitudes towards this, so they have not taken measures for a long time.

"Could it be that the Liang army has all been wiped out, or has all surrendered to the Jin army?" Guo Tao was still unwilling to accept this reality.

When the Great Liang was strong, the Guanzhong Imperial Court was afraid like a tiger, like a thorn in the back, and hated to unite all the feudal lords to fight, but when the Great Liang was destroyed, the imperial court found that the entire Northern Hu people were prosperous, and no one could even balance them, which couldn't help but make them very afraid.

Fortunately, there is also a Jiang Feng who suddenly sprung up, but the location of Xuzhou controlled by Jiang Feng is too far to the east, and for the Guanzhong Imperial Court, it is a bit far away to quench the feeling of near thirst.

Nanyang, which is close to Guanzhong, has an ambiguous attitude, and it seems that there is some tacit understanding with the Jin army before, so it is difficult to reassure.

According to the news reported back by the scout, many people went south to take refuge in Caizhou Yuan, and some surrendered to the southwest to Nanyang Liu, of course, some have run to Caozhou and Songcheng, there were still tens of thousands of horses in Bianliang City, but the army's heart was scattered, morale was gone, and this battle could not be fought, and they dispersed in a hurry, and some went to Caozhou and Puzhou. ”

What Jiang Feng said was the truth, there were still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, the girder was destroyed, and less than half of the more than 100,000 troops were really wiped out by the Jin army, most of them were scattered and fled, and the Jin army was also busy controlling and occupying various city passes, and did not have so much energy to pursue these remnants of the defeated generals, so they also gave these routs the opportunity to escape.
