Section 36 Vortex
When Shang Yunxi left the Jiedu Embassy, it was already evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The horse's hooves trampled on the Shuncheng street in front of the Jiedu Envoy, and the stone road looked mottled and uneven.
The streets are still bustling, and instead of making Xuzhou depressed, the drought that pervades the entire north of Xuzhou has caused a deformed noise in the city because a large number of displaced people from the three prefectures of Yanyun and Yi and even the Heshuo region have flocked south.
Lu Qiming, this guy has a good mouth, and he has been blocking the displaced people from going south, but it has not played much role at all, look at the displaced people gathered outside Xuzhou City, and then look at these disaster victims who have mixed into the city, seeing all this, Shang Yunxi feels hopeless about the future of Xuzhou.
Lu Qiming actually arranged a bandit-born guy under Ryazan to be in Teng County to be responsible for blocking the disaster victims from going south in Yizhou in the north, how unreliable it was.
The vast majority of the 10,000 or 20,000 victims outside the city are from Yizhou, and that guy is afraid that these displaced people will stay in Tengxian County and let these displaced people go south, how can he stop these people who may become a disaster in the local area?
Xuzhou itself still has some surplus grain to support, but with a large number of northern victims going south, Xuzhou is suddenly a little stretched.
In addition to constantly driving these victims south, Xuzhou has no better way to deal with these victims, but when these victims do not leave, Xuzhou has to take out a part of the grain to help, so as to prevent these victims from causing chaos on the spot.
Shang Yunxi has already received some detailed reports, and there are many bandits mixed in among the victims who have gathered in the south, and these bandits have even co-opted and colluded among these victims, and there are signs of trouble, which is very dangerous.
In addition to speeding up the expulsion of these victims to the south to plague Huainan, Shi Yu's Yajun army has also entered a state of strict readiness to prevent these chaotic people from causing trouble in Xuzhou.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the Huaiyou army actually went north, Shang Yunxi was sure that Jiang Feng definitely saw the chaos brought by the southward movement of the northern victims to the situation in Xuzhou, and felt that this was an opportunity, and even did not rule out that Huaiyou itself had arranged some shadows among these victims, intending to disturb the situation in Xuzhou.
The attack from both sides did make the situation in Xuzhou critical.
But the first trouble is still Yao Chengtai's side, after all, he has to directly face Huaiyou's 20,000 troops.
As he said in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Jiang Feng definitely has a killer weapon, and it is impossible to fight Xuzhou so straightforwardly, Jiang Feng has never been the kind of person who makes a decent move.
If Yao Chengtai was not given assistance, Shang Yunxi was sure that Qi County and Fuli would definitely not be protected.
Shi Yu has an indecisive personality, which is what he expected, not to mention that it is definitely not so simple to let Shi Yu use his own capital to run the house.
However, in this case, Shi Yu also knew very well that if Yao Chengtai was not given strong support, I am afraid that Yao Chengtai would be difficult to resist the attack of the Huaiyou army.
The question is, even if Shi Yu and himself give Yao Chengtai support, can they win?
Shang Yunxi doesn't see it that way.
Eyes swept around, and couldn't help but sigh softly, the thousand-year-old Xiongcheng is going to be taken by outsiders, this can't but be said to be a pity, Shi Yu is no longer able to own this city, Huaiyou Jiangfeng is ambitious, Caizhou Yuan is suspicious, can only let one of these two families come into charge?
Shang Yunxi doesn't like Huaiyou, this shallow-based nouveau riche is too ugly, and from the perspective of strength, Huaiyou is far inferior to Caizhou, Shang Yunxi is not optimistic.
Similarly, Shang Yunxi will not choose Caizhou Yuan's family, the revenge of killing his brother makes him engraved in his heart, although his brother is indeed not very worry-free, but after all, he is his own mother, and he will never forget this hatred.
How can anyone else be qualified to participate in the competition in Xuzhou?
The Taining army was about to collapse, and it was too busy to take care of itself; the Pinglu army was sheep-like and tiger-skinned, and they were happy to see the grass and fight when they saw the jackals, so they could only do some work of stealing chickens and touching dogs, which was not worth mentioning.
Who else is there besides these?
And, of course, the behemoth of the west side - the girder has not yet been calculated.
But Shang Yunxi knew very well that it was not so simple to let this powerful neighbor who was getting into the twilight to intervene in the battle of Xuzhou.
The Great Liang was the most powerful feudal lord in Middle-earth, which even its greatest enemy, the Great Jin, had to admit.
But just because it's powerful doesn't mean it's the most powerful.
The twilight is deep, the internal friction is endless, and the constraints are constant, all of which limit the strength of the beam, especially its internal mountains, and fierce factional disputes, it can be said that unless the enemy army enters the country, it can be sobered up under the sting, under normal circumstances, this behemoth is more like a sleeping beast.
Even Nanchenzhou was captured by Caizhou, and Daliang slowly found a chance to recapture it after three years, and the initiative to fight a foreign war can be traced back to more than ten or twenty years ago, at least after Zhu Yun succeeded to the throne of King Liang, he never took the initiative to launch a war with a foreign country.
Now it is not easy to encourage Daliang to join the battle for Xuzhou.
But Shang Yunxi still wanted to give it a try.
For Shang Yunxi, the sluggishness of the Liang and the weak willingness to intervene externally are actually a good thing.
If Da Liang is really as ambitious as Caizhou or Huaiyou, then where is he Shang Yunxi?
It is precisely because of Daliang's low willingness to intervene externally, if there is a feudal lord who is not strong but willing to be attached to him to control Xuzhou, Shang Yunxi feels that this should be in line with Daliang's wishes, and Daliang will not need to pay too much, only a small amount of military support, as well as the necessary force and coercion, is enough to help himself enter Xuzhou.
Of course, this is only Shang Yunxi's initial intention, if he wants to pull the girder in, he has to move immediately.
The efficiency of Daliang's side is not flattering, but as long as it can be said that the Songzhou garrison can support it, then it is somewhat certain.
Thinking of this, Shang Yunxi couldn't help but glance back at the majestic Jiedu Embassy again, maybe the next time he came here, he should be the master of the king.
"The Huaiyou Army went north?" Lu Qiming's eyes flashed in an instant, "How many soldiers and horses?"
"General Hui, it is said that there are about 20,000 people, and the Jiedu envoy is reorganizing the army over there, and it is said that Shang Shuai and the Jiedu envoy discussed preparing to send troops to reinforce Yao Shuai. Sima engaged in a low voice.
"Reinforcement Yao Chengtai, is it Jiedu who will send the Ya Army, or Shang Yunxi who will send troops, or will both of them send troops?" Lu Qiming paced back and forth in the room, "Is the specific situation clear?"
"It is said that Jiedu made the adults a little worried about the steady stream of displaced people going south, thinking that there were bandits mixed here, but these bandits took advantage of the situation to cause trouble, so there was still some hesitation on the issue of how many troops to send, but Shang Shuai encouraged Jiedu to make the adults send most of the troops, saying that he would also send most of the troops to reinforce Yao Shuai, otherwise Xuzhou would be in danger. ”
"Hmph, is Xuzhou in danger?" Lu Qiming said disdainfully: "This old fox will only calculate others, and so will the Lord of the Temperance Envoy, and he is always willing to fall for this guy." ”
"General, but Yao Shuai will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the Huaiyou Army, if Jiedu makes the Lord and the monk Shuai not assist, then Qixian and Fuli will definitely not be able to hold it, once Fuli is lost, Pengcheng will be in danger. ”
"Is there such a simple and easy thing?" Lu Qiming pouted contemptuously, "If Pengcheng is so easy to take, then it is still called Pengcheng? What about the Caizhou Yuan clan? Will they sit back and watch Huaiyou swallow Xuzhou alone? What about the Great Liang? The former little brother is suddenly about to become a behemoth that can almost be compared to it, and may even pose a huge threat to them, can they accept it?"
Asked by the main general, Sima engaged for a while before he snorted: "Where does the Yuan army of Caizhou still have the spare strength to ask about Xuzhou? Not to mention that there is still Shang Shuai's army to defend in the west. As for Da Liang, didn't the general also say that Da Liang is unlikely to send troops now, unless someone else calls the door?"
"Hmph, in this case, will Shang Yunxi open the channel and let the Caizhou army enter Xu? Who can say clearly? Even if Shang Yunxi can't let go of Shang Yunliu's death and does not allow the Caizhou army to enter Xu, I did say that Daliang will not take the initiative to send troops to the neighbors under normal circumstances, but this time the situation is different, Xuzhou's gains and losses are important, and no one can predict what kind of attitude Daliang will have. Lu Qiming rubbed his hands and his eyes flickered, "This game is really unpredictable." ”
"General, what should we do then?" Sima Zhi couldn't help but ask.
Lu Qiming did not answer for a while.
If Yao Chengtai, Shang Yunxi, Yu Mingzhen and himself, plus Shi Xu, constituted a relatively stable structure, but now it has been broken, what does Shang Yunxi think? Yu Mingzhen's attitude, as well as whether Yao Chengtai will exist after this battle, and Shi Yu's future fate, all of these have been swept into an unpredictable huge whirlpool.
Of course, Lu Qiming also understood that the Huai Right Army would not be without a backhand, and even he was vaguely aware that Zhuang Yongsheng, who came to defect to him, might have some problems.
It is said that outsiders have been joining his army in recent days, and this outsider does not mean that he was recruited from the local area or Yanyun, but from Huainan in the south, which is quite suspicious, if Zhuang Yongsheng is really a secret son of the Huaiyou Army, then what is Zhuang Yongsheng going to do?
Is it against yourself, or is it time to be drunk?
"My lord, it is said that Teng County has expanded to two complete armies, and the training is very frequent, and it is reported that their armor and military uniforms are also being replenished one after another, which is very suspicious. Sima Zhi added in a timely manner.
Maybe it's really time to have a good talk with Zhuang Yongsheng, this guy took advantage of his trust and suddenly became a variable chess piece in this game of chess that cannot be underestimated, and he had to be looked sideways.
"Send someone to invite Zhuang Yongsheng to come to me, and say that I have something important to discuss with him. Lu Qiming raised his gaze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
