Wang Shouxin kept rubbing his cheeks, and even rubbed some of his blackened skin to redness and heat.

It's a habitual sign of his habits when he's confronted with a problem.

But after living for so many decades, it was the first time he had encountered such a difficult thing.

After learning the news that Qingzhou City had fallen and his brother had been captured, he immediately recruited back the troops that had already passed Anqiu and approached Beihai.

Since Qingzhou has fallen, it is pointless to go to the rescue again, and can only be swept away by the Huaiyou army with a great victory in vain, and the wise man does not do it.

The snow has fallen, and this is the second snow of the winter.

The city was snow-white, and only a few flags hung a little sparsely on the flagpole, looking a little listless.

Not to mention that the flag is listless, the entire Mizhou City is in a panic, and I don't know what to do.

Qingzhou fell, it is estimated that Qizhou and Zizhou will not be better, when receiving the news that the Huaiyou army is highlighting Muling Pass and going straight to Qingzhou, Wang Shouxin's first reaction is that this is a Huaiyou trick, wanting to attract his own reinforcements to Qingzhou and come to a siege point to help, so he simply ignored it and did not move.

He knew very well that his brother's precautions against Qingzhou, even if Zhu Mao attacked Qizhou, but with the strength of Qi, Ziqing, and Qingzhou, it was more than enough to deal with it, and it was not safe at all.

Pinglu Town has jurisdiction over six prefectures, Qizi Qingdeng Lemy, plus the newly incorporated Haizhou, basically divided into three pieces.

Qi Ziqing is a piece, with Qingzhou as the center, Denglai Mi as a piece, Mizhou as the center, Haizhou because it is newly incorporated, it is not stable, and Liu Yansi is the sole leader.

The role of the Mizhou garrison is to support and respond to Haizhou and prevent Huaiyou's troops from sending troops to Haizhou, and at the same time, it is also necessary to prevent Huaiyou from directly advancing into Mizhou and completely cut off the two Mizhou states.

It should be said that among these three films, Qiziqing and Qingzhou are of course the most important.

Qingzhou is the residence of the Jiedu Embassy, Qizhou is located between the big river and Jishui, these three states have Jishui flowing through, the soil is fertile, the terrain is gentle, it is the granary of Pinglu Town, although it can not be compared with the granary of Huainan, but it is also quite good in the north.

Without Qi Ziqing, the three states of Denglai alone will not be able to survive independently, and there has never been a situation in history where these three states insist on independence, not to mention that Denglai's defense is weak, and it is not difficult for the Huaiyou Army to take Denglai two states.

Therefore, Wang Shouxin knows very well that he will not be able to compete with Huaiyou, even if he pulls Liu Yansi from Haizhou in the south.

But it seems a little unacceptable to be caught at this point.

At least there are still 10,000 or 20,000 troops in his hands, and Liu Yansi still has more than 20,000 Ziqing troops, and the two states together are not much less than the army that invaded Qingzhou in the north of Huaiyou.

However, it seems that the account is not calculated in this way, and it cannot be calculated in this way.

The elder brother was still the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, but he fell into the hands of the Huaiyou Army, which is a difficult problem.

Now Da Lang is here and brings a letter from his brother, the content is also very simple, Pinglu has been defeated, it is impossible to hold on, and there is no possibility of victory if you persist, there is no meaning, and Wang Shouxin is required to accept Huaiyou's recruitment and reorganization.

Well, according to the letter, Huaiyou will obtain the will and edict of the imperial court and officially take over the Pinglu prefectures.

With a fluttering letter, he had to put down his military power, accept Huaiyou's orders, and even put his life in the hands of the other party, this kind of thing sounded a little unbelievable, but it happened.

Jiang Feng is bold, and he directly sent Da Lang over.

You must know that Da Lang is the eldest son of his brother, and he is not afraid that he will erect the signboard of Da Lang and rebel against him.

But looking at Da Lang's meaning, it seems that he doesn't have this heart at all, or he is not optimistic at all.

Spit out a breath of turbidity, and Wang Shouxin didn't know what he should do next.

It won't last long if it's dragged on like this.

He had to figure out how he was going to decide.

After annexation, the military power was handed over, and the Pinglu Army changed its name and surname, so where should it go?

Is it really as my brother said, the Wang family all went to Chang'an?

Jokes, he Wang Shouxin has never been the life of a stable rich man, he should die on the battlefield, not on the bed.

Da Lang also said that the Huaiyou Army was willing to accept the generals of the Pinglu Army, but was this true?

What's the point of being a military general who has been set up in the air?

But if you want the Huaiyou Army to really hand over the military power to yourself, does Jiang Feng dare?

Da Lang said that there are precedents, such as the Reform Army, the Taining Army and the Huainan Army, there are similar examples, the original generals under Yang Pu and Shi Yu and even Zhu Mao, the same as the Huaiyou Army as the commander of the army, the question is the same?

The generals of Taining don't say it, they are under Zhu Mao's command, at most, they each command an army, and they are included in the Huaiyou Army, and they can't have much influence.

Yu Mingzhen and Lu Qiming of the Reform Army were a little incomprehensible, and they didn't understand why Jiang Feng was so relieved about these two.

Could it be that these two people won Jiang Feng's trust by their loyalty to Huaiyou before?

Or is it that although the army is handed over to them, the generals and middle- and lower-ranking officers have already been exchanged for blood below?

This situation is not impossible, but the problem is that the combat effectiveness of such an army must be greatly affected, why did Jiang Feng dare to let Yu Mingzhen and Lu Qiming lead the army north to attack Qingzhou?

Maybe we should wait a little longer, until the so-called imperial decree comes down?

Wang Shouxin thought subconsciously, but then shook his head.

Since Jiang Feng dared to say so, he would definitely be sure to get the will of the imperial court, but at that time, he would push himself into a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger.

Thinking of the conversation between Da Lang and himself, Wang Shouxin was also a little moved, maybe this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to start again.

In the Pinglu Army, the elder brother is the only one, no one dares to disobey his words, maybe Liu Yansi, an outsider, can still put his beak, but like his younger brother, as well as Dalang Erlang, these sons-in-law are not as good as outsiders, and raising different opinions will only attract scolding and even military sticks.

This is not a secret in the Pinglu army.

This oppressive atmosphere became the norm in the Pinglu army, so he was also accustomed to his brother's arrangement, although he also had a restless heart, and he wanted to do what he wanted, but he couldn't.

Maybe I should have a good talk with Da Lang, Wang Shouxin feels as if he and Da Lang have a common language, well, why didn't you realize it before?

"Xiao Langjun has been to Haizhou before?"

Wang Pu and Wang Guoxi rushed to Haizhou and did not take Mizhou, but went directly south from Muling Pass and entered Haizhou east through Yishui and Yizhou.

This road is not easy to walk, but it is much closer than going to Mizhou, and this section is mainly concentrated in the section from Linyi to Qishan.

The commercial connection from Haizhou to Yizhou is more carried out through the line from Muyang to Yizhou through Xiapi, because this line is a smoother road and an important official road.

When you arrive in Xiapi, you can use Yishui shipping to communicate between the two places, which greatly saves the transportation capacity, of course, it is much slower in time.

Wang Pu and Wang Guoxi are not much different in age, Wang Pu is three years old, starting from Qingzhou, along the way, the two are becoming more and more familiar.

"Not yet. Wang Guoxi shook his head, "A certain teenager has traveled a lot in Heshuo, and has also been to the Central Plains, Hedong and Guanzhong, but not to the south. ”

"Well, Xiao Langjun should go to Huainan and Jiangnan to have a look, the customs and customs there are completely different from ours in the north, and they have a different flavor. ”

Wang Pu smiled, this Wang Shouzhong's third son should be the heir in Wang Shouzhong's mind, but before it is clear, everything is over, in the face of this situation, what this San Langjun will think, I don't know, maybe there will be some hesitation, loss and confusion.

"Maybe there will be more opportunities in the future, before I either practiced martial arts, or I was in the army, and I was really flawless. ”

Wang Guoxi glanced at the Huaiyou Army who accompanied him to Haizhou, he had a good impression of the other party, his words and views were frank, there were not so many vain heads, and he had a frank conversation with himself before departure.

It's not that he can win Wang Guoxi's trust by saying this, but the other party analyzed the current situation in Pinglu, Huaiyou and even the entire Central Plains for him very objectively and calmly, talked about various possibilities, and then broke them down for him one by one, I can't say that I completely convinced him, but it is undeniable that many things touched him very much.

"Hehe, there may not be much leisure in the future, doesn't Xiao Langjun want to join the army in the future?" Wang Pu said quietly: "Or does Xiao Langjun feel that there is no Wang family in Pinglu after this, and he will run away?"

Wang Guoxi smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer this question for a while.

He didn't know what the future would be, his father wanted to take the Wang family west to Chang'an, but he didn't want to go.

What can I do if I go to Chang'an? My father is old, and he can be a happy man in Chang'an, but what about himself? Before he is in the age of establishment, will he also go to Chang'an to be a prodigal?

From the army? From which army? The Pinglu army is gone, is it from the Huai Right Army?

Jiang Feng's attitude is very generous, but is that sincere?

For a while, Wang Guoxi was also a little dazed.

It is said that he is a thousand miles of the Wang family and a martial arts wizard, but only Wang Guoxi knows that martial arts practice, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you need to continue to polish before you can enter the country, and the army is undoubtedly the best opportunity, but where can you go now?

Daliang, or Nanyang, Caizhou? Can't you go to Heshuo's broken households or Hu people, right?

"It seems that Xiao Langjun is still a little confused about his future, or Xiao Langjun still has doubts about Huaiyou, well, this is reasonable, after all, there is still a person who has just captured Qingzhou City, and now he is about to take over Pinglu, and it is difficult for anyone to accept this reality. Wang Pu said calmly: "But reality is reality, we can't bypass this, we need to look forward, well, because Xiao Langjun is already an adult, and the road ahead is still very long, we need to face all this rationally and calmly." ”21010
