Section 73 Driving the tiger and devouring the wolf
Zhang Ji rushed back to Xuzhou non-stop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before he came to Xuzhou, he didn't know whether Jiang Feng had arrived in Xuzhou, but he had to pass through Xuzhou to return to Shouzhou from Xintai, so he naturally wanted to take a look, but he didn't expect to get the news that Jiang Feng had arrived in Xuzhou.
After talking about the situation intermittently, Zhang Jicai, who was covered in dust, had time to pour a few bowls of soup.
He was too tired, he came more than 500 miles from Xintai, although he changed horses all the way, but this person was really a little unbearable, he only had the most basic martial arts level, not even the heavenly realm level, Zhang Ji didn't expect that he could have any attainments in martial arts, just be able to strengthen his body.
Seeing that the guy in front of him was tired and dying, but Jiang Feng couldn't let him rest for the time being, although he knew the general situation, there were still many specific details, and he still needed to ask further slowly.
At this time, Wang Miao had already gone to negotiate with Mei Guo and Li He and Pang Yuan, who had already arrived, Jiang Feng only met Li He once, and made an appointment to have a banquet for Li He in the evening, but he would not participate in the specific negotiations.
"Go and invite Shichirou and come over, well, and invite Zheng Hong to come. ”
Wang Miao is not there, Jiang Feng needs someone who can help him make some analysis and judgment, Yang Kan needless to say, Zhang Ting's mind is still enough, and although Zheng Hong is a little worse in status, Jiang Feng knows that this person is very cautious in considering problems, and he also wants to use his mind to help him look at the problem from different angles.
The three of them came quickly, and after arriving, Jiang Feng didn't talk nonsense with them, and introduced the situation reported by Zhang Ji in a few words.
Hearing that Hou Chen had already incorporated the Taining Army's various departments in Yizhou with the assistance of Yu Mingzhen, and even Hou Chen and Yu Mingzhen's generals went to Qianfeng and Laiwu to be incorporated into the two most famous departments of the Taining Army, Hong Kui and Lang Kun, whether it was Yang Kan, Zhang Ting or Zheng Hong, they were all overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, this is a great event, Yizhou has been obtained, and 20,000 elites have been added, if Hou Chenqian's trip to Laiwu can be successful, then we can be invincible, even if Zhu Mao wants to die, we are not afraid. Yang Kan said excitedly: "I have heard of the name of Hong Kui for a long time, I am afraid that the strength of martial arts is not below the king, and Zhu Mao can be called, even that Lang Kun may not be much better than the king, Lao Mei and Qin Han They can't have the upper hand." ”
"What's more critical is that the combat effectiveness of the two armies of Hong Kui and Lang Kun is also the most capable of fighting in the Taining Army, no less than Zhu Mao's personal soldiers of the Fourth Army. Zhang Ting added.
"Your Excellency, without further ado, my subordinates suggest that Lord Wang and Lord Mei here can drag along with Daliang first, and send people to rush to Luqiao with General Lu, and take down Rencheng, Jinxiang, Fanghe, and Luqiao's Taining army first, not only can Shang Yunxi's thoughts be broken, but if Zhu Mao really wants to do something, he also has to see if he has the confidence and strength. Zheng Hong's attitude was clearer, and he directly suggested that he should do it immediately.
"Huh, so anxious?" Jiang Feng also laughed, but he knew that Zheng Hong's suggestion was probably replaced by Wang Miao, and it would be like this, he couldn't delay, he had to take Yanzhou first, as for Yunzhou, the Juye Ze water bandits are now powerful, whether it is Huaiyou or Daliang, or Shang Yunxi, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Yunzhou, unless they can solve this gang of water bandits.
"Your Majesty, you can't drag it out, Yanzhou is a big state, the north and the south are far apart, Zhu Mao has been shelving it in the mountains in the north in order to restrict Hong Kui, this time affected by the drought, the situation in the north is even worse, Hong Kui and Lang Kun as long as they are not dizzy, they should understand that Zhu Mao's era has passed, I believe that Lord Hou and they will be able to have a good result. ”
Zheng Hong also had the intention of behaving in front of Jiang Feng and talking eloquently.
"But the situation in the central and southern parts of Yanzhou is different, Zhu Mao still firmly controls the six counties in the central region, and he is also more than capable of the three counties in the south, so he can only let go temporarily. ”
"Do you think the Taining Army in the three southern counties will serve us under Zhu Mao's watch?" Jiang Feng rubbed his chin and groaned.
"General Yu and General Lu know each other, in fact, everyone knows that Shi Yu's four generals are not so simple, Shang Yunxi has been hooking up with Da Liang, and Yao Chengtai is eyebrow-raising with Caizhou Yuan, General Lu and General Yu should also be with Taining, Pinglu has something to do with it, but in the past two years, the Taining army has declined, so it will become this situation, I heard that General Lu's nephew is in the Taining army, and he is stationed in Luqiao in the Taining Right Army Fifth Army as the deputy commander of the army, and Lang Kun is General Yu's hometown, but also an in-law. ”
"Oh?" Jiang Feng was slightly surprised, and then came back to his senses.
This situation is actually normal in this era, and if a big family wants to survive in troubled times, it can't help but think about it more, and it is a matter of course to bet separately.
There are people in the Lu family in the Taining Army, but it should still be mainly on the side of the Huaibei Reform Army, and Yu Mingzhen must have a close relationship with Lang Kun.
Huaibei and the Taining army have always been on the front line, and they have always been fighting together against the Great Liang, but with the change of attitude of the Yuan clan in Caizhou, the Taining army is in trouble because of the drought, and the original alliance between the parties has also undergone drastic changes.
In the past, Huaibei and Taining were allies, but now the Huaibei Reform Army is about to cease to exist, and the Taining Army is facing a situation of disappearance, and all parties must consider their own interests.
Zheng Hong did not have a clear division of labor in the Observation Embassy, but he was very adaptable and quickly found his own stage.
That is, to follow the direction of Huaiyou's troops, and to conduct targeted intelligence collation and analysis of the external forces involved in Huaiyou's possible involvement.
For example, the intelligence of Yanyun is the information collected from various channels in Wuwentang, which he has collected by himself through some channels in Huaibei in Shouzhou, and it came in handy at this time.
"If that's the case, it's a lot easier. Yang Kan's eyes also lit up, "The north and the south are attacking, Zhu Mao is afraid that he will have to think about it, but has the king considered the situation if Zhu Mao is willing to belong to Huaiyou?"
To be honest, Jiang Feng really didn't consider the situation of Zhu Mao's surrender to Huaiyou.
Zhu Mao is different from Shi Yu, Shi Yu has long been tasteless about the probation of the military festival to sit in this position, and for so many years, the family has a lot of money, whether it is to go to Chang'an, or to Yangzhou, to be a rich man, and live a good life.
Zhu Mao can't do it, his life in Yanyun has always been tight, it is common for Yin to eat grain, it can be said that he has no family assets at all, the Taining Army is his everything, if he wants to abandon this army and become a rich man, he will not agree to this temperament.
But if you let Zhu Mao submit to himself, a veteran feudal lord who has inherited his father's business for 20 years, and you let him condescend to his command, Jiang Feng himself feels a little unreliable.
Acceptance, Jiang Feng was not at ease in his heart, Zhu Mao was different from Yu Mingzhen and Lu Qiming, they were the masters of one party who had never done anything, and they did not have much resistance to submitting to themselves, but Zhu Mao was the lord of the Central Plains for 20 years, how could he be so obedient to himself as a yellow-haired boy?
If you don't accept it, then you can only fight, and it is obviously not appropriate to let the old Taining Army fight back, and then you have to fight against the Huaiyou Army, and this battle will be fought, but I am afraid that the loss will not be small.
It's not that he's afraid of sacrificing losses, but Jiang Feng now prefers to keep his military strength for fighting the Khitans.
He had a hunch that the Khitan people might go south faster than he had expected, and he had expected that the Khitans would go south in five to ten years, but now Jiang Feng noticed from the change that the party people in Guanzhong went south and went east, I am afraid that the expansion rate of the Hu people's power is faster than he imagined, especially when there are still many disregard for national interests within the Han feudal lords, and more when they stay on their own acres and threes of land, these northern Hu may be even more stimulated by teasing.
Among the nomadic Hu tribes who really have the ability to go south, the Dangxiang people were originally the weakest one, but they easily broke through the Guanzhong army and set foot on the Guanzhong Plain, so what will the Shatuo people in the east think?
The Shatuo people led by the Zhu Xie clan originally had a large amount of support from Zahu in Mobei behind them, so how could they sit back and watch the party members go south to benefit?
There are also the Khitans, their infiltration is greater than ever, and when the Shatuo people in Hedong provoke a war with the Central Plains Liang and even Heshuo, can they still sit still?
"The best way is to take the Taining Army for your own use. Zhang Ting said faintly, "The combat effectiveness of the Taining Army is not weak, it is just trapped by the drought, as long as the grain and grass can't keep up, the recovery of strength will be very fast, the only thing to worry about is how Zhu Mao can be convinced." ”
"Maybe the situation is not as pessimistic as we think. Zheng Hong suddenly said.
"Oh, what is Xianhan's plan?" Jiang Feng attached great importance to Zheng Hong's opinion.
"We all know that Zhu Mao was originally from Jeju, but eighteen years ago, Jeju was taken by the Great Liang, and even the ancestral ancestral hall was destroyed by the Great Liang Army. Zheng Hong paused, "In fact, by now Zhu Mao should know that the Taining Army has no place in Yanyun, even if we don't move him, Da Liang will support Shang Yunxi to make a move against Yanyun, so we might as well talk to Zhu Mao, if he is willing to surrender to our Huaiyou, we welcome it, if he is not willing to surrender to Huaiyou, we can also welcome him to go north to return to his hometown Jeju." ”
"What will Zhu Mao do?" Yang Kan asked rhetorically, but then he came to his senses, and his joy flashed by, "We provide ...... for him"
