Chapter 880: The Death of Youzhou

The 559th year of the empire ended in chaos in the north, Leng Zhuo returned to Vermilion Bird City, and lived a stable year, but only half of the year passed, and a broken news fell.

In December of the 559th year of the empire, the Youzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army besieged Gyeonggi, and the defenders of Gyeonggi turned against each other one after another, and Wanlong City fell into a heavy siege, but just when everyone's eyes were on Dijing, Beihu suddenly killed the pass of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and entered Youzhou.

The soldiers and horses of the Tang army gathered in the area of Shennongding quickly went north, crossed the Tianhe River directly, crossed Youzhou in the north, and rode with Beihu Tieqi to the south, forming a guillotine knife in the north, which directly cut off the old nest of Prince Youzhou.

Everything came so suddenly, just like a blizzard that suddenly blew in the northern grasslands, and the wind swept through most of Youzhou, and the king of Youzhou retreated at the foot of Wanlong City and returned to Youzhou.

The news came back, Leng Zhuo gathered a group of advisers overnight, and laid out a not very detailed map of the north, although I don't know how many troops Beihu sent, and I don't know how many troops the Tang army used, but this way, the situation in the north is worth predicting.

"Situ Hao just crossed the Qinluo River and surrounded Wanlong City with the Youzhou army, but he suddenly learned that the old nest in the rear was dug up, tsk, I don't know what this mood should be, you say, will this also be part of Situ Hao's plan!"

"I think it should be one of the followers, this Qing Prince Situ Hao has given us a big surprise, if this person sits on the throne, I am afraid that he will become a big opponent of the young master!"

"Well, that's right, resolutely gave up the interests of Yangzhou, led the army north, and even did not hesitate to contact the Japanese people at sea and the Tang Army in Zhongzhou, desperately going north, using himself as a bait to lure the Bai Qi army to cut off its back road and solve the trouble, and then launched the card of the Japanese people, ambushed the fleet of the Dongfang family at sea, crossed the Qinluo Tianhai in one fell swoop, entered Gyeonggi, and jumped out of the dead end!"

"And in this process, Prince You was also calculated, and the tiger was transferred away from the mountain, resulting in the emptiness of Youzhou, and then the Tang Army took advantage of the weakness to enter and swallowed Youzhou with Beihu, causing Prince You to have to return to the division to rescue, and the rest is estimated to enter the imperial capital, ascend the throne as the emperor, and at the same time, borrow a knife to kill people, and eradicate Prince You!" Pang Tong also smacked his lips.

"This time it's crisp enough, killed the two brothers, swallowed most of the soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, and may even take the soldiers and horses of the Youzhou army, when the time comes, Situ Hao's men are strong and strong, there are millions of troops, three points in Youzhou, and Beiding in Qingzhou!"

"And he will definitely offer all kinds of conditions to recruit Bai Qi, no matter how bad it is, he will recruit the forbidden army under Bai Qi's command, most of the families of this part of the forbidden army are in Gyeonggi, if no one responds, Bai Qi's army may be dismembered by the other party, and then the army will move south, Qingzhou will be pacified, and when the time comes, it will be our Chuzhou and Yangzhou!"

"As long as the young master does not rebel, the other party can enter Yangzhou logically with righteousness, and reshuffle Yangzhou again, after all, the young master has no name in Yangzhou, once the young master cannot stop the other party from going south to Yangzhou, Yangzhou will lose, and Chuzhou will also be in danger, between the backhand, Prince Qing will occupy the three eastern states, a small part of Youzhou!"

"If the other party is in contact with the King of Shu, maybe he will occupy the land of the five states, which is enough to have the confidence to calm the world!" Guo Jia said, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, such a general context was sorted out, and even Leng Zhuo was shocked to see it.

Leng Zhuo is now dominating the two states, looking at the scenery, but in fact, the rule is not strong, he is still the commander of the soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, commanding the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou and one state, he is famous and famous, plus the strength of the local heart of the empire in Chuzhou is killed and destroyed, Leng Zhuo does not need to worry about it.

But Yangzhou is different, Leng Zhuo now occupies Yangzhou, but in name, the officials up and down Yangzhou are all local forces, these people can fall to Leng Zhuo, and they can fall to Situ Hao tomorrow, everything just depends on whose fist is bigger, and the intricacies of Yangzhou's local forces make it difficult for Leng Zhuo to really control Yangzhou.

And the reform of Yangzhou is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, the stall of Ping An Bank has only just been rolled out, and it cannot be effective, after Prince Qing ascends the throne, he will definitely not give Leng Zhuo time to digest.

originally thought that there were Prince You and Youzhou Army in the north, even if Situ Hao was finally allowed to take the lead in entering Wanlong City, these two people would have to fight each other, how could they fight for a year and a half, even if they decided the high and low, with a large army in hand, it was also a constraint, and Situ Hao, who was in his throat, had no energy to deal with the south.

But all of a sudden, the last trouble was lifted, and the fiasco of the King of Youzhou was almost a certainty, Beihu, Tang Army, plus Qingzhou Army, three roads and one encirclement, the Youzhou army couldn't jump out of this cage at all.

"We have to come up with a countermeasure! If you want Yangzhou not to lose, the Bai Qi army in the south of Qingzhou is very important, we must seize the military power of this army and horses, there is Bai Qi in the open to block, we secretly support, Situ Hao will not be able to go south, he has no soldiers and horses to go south, it is not so easy to turn Yangzhou around, as long as it can top for a year or two, the situation in Yangzhou can be slightly stabilized!"

"If the other party wants to dismember General Bai Qi's command, he will definitely target those generals who have families in Gyeonggi, most of these generals have a large or small family behind them, and once Gyeonggi changes hands, these families are the biggest bargaining chips!"

"If you want to ensure the strength of the Bai Qi Army, you can only use a two-pronged approach, contact our people in Gyeonggi, and persuade these families to go south, so that they have no worries, and for the generals and families who cannot be persuaded to find a way to control, or let go, or put them under house arrest, so as to ensure that there will be no formed soldiers and horses to defect!"

"Well, the government will issue an order immediately, send a letter to Bai Qi's side, and also to the Dijing side, we don't have enough time, the Qingzhou Army may enter Wanlong City at any time, and all we can use is that chaotic period of time!"

Because of the news from the north, Leng Zhuo and the others didn't sleep all night, and they speculated all kinds of possible situations to make sure that everything was safe, so Leng Zhuo went back to rest, but the government was full of carrier pigeons.

There are not only those that lead to the north, but also those in Yangzhou, and the pace of the government in Yangzhou must also be accelerated, and the families who threw themselves into Situ Hao at the beginning are not using various means, but simply directly use the means of raiding the family and cleaning them, and purge some of them first.

Kong Mingchen also made a somewhat shady move, that is, to let some families assist in raiding the family, and divide most of the property of these families to these people, first, to win over these forces, and secondly, to let these people stand on the opposite side of Situ Hao, and when the time comes, they can only stand on Leng Zhuo's side.

It can be said that because of this news, many strategies are changing.

And the Tang Army, who gnawed a piece of meat in Youzhou, was once again put on the desk by Leng Zhuo, obviously the Tang Army was not a landlord who was content in Zhongzhou, this time taking advantage of this northern change, the Tang Army won several counties and counties in Qingzhou, which is nothing, the most terrible thing is to occupy the southern part of Youzhou, and it is linked to Beihu.

The Tang army and the Hu people are natural allies, it is said that the princess Li Tang Sheng, who is also a saint on the grassland, this identity is recognized by the Hu people, that is to say, the current Tang army is not fighting alone, being besieged in the land of Zhongzhou, with the Hu people going south, it is equivalent to this big cage being broken.

It is likely that there will be a large number of Hu people in the Tang army, and the flat land of Zhongzhou is more suitable for cavalry mobile combat, and the strength of the Tang army will also be greatly expanded, and the foundation will be stronger.

Of course, the Tang army had a better choice, or there was an agreement with Prince Qing Situ Hao, not to attack the eastern and southern states, but to sweep the two states of Liang and Yong, although these two states were barren states in the empire, but although the environment of these two places was harsh, they produced strong troops.

In particular, opening up Liangzhou is equivalent to opening up the channel with the 16th Department of Xihu, and taking Yongzhou will give Li Tang a vast hinterland, and at that time, Datang will have the capital to dominate the world.

Leng Zhuo didn't think that the two princes of Liang and Prince Yong could resist the Tang army and Beihu's alliance, if the situation developed, then the world would likely become a situation of three kingdoms, occupying Zhongzhou, the Tang army in the northwest, occupying the empire of western Beijing, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, as well as Leng Zhuo's entrenched Chu, Yang, and southern Qingzhou.

This kind of ending seems to be the most likely, of course, it is not ruled out that there will be other changes, the ownership of Shuzhou is also a problem, once the Tang army occupies Yongzhou, it can bypass the mountains from the north and enter Shuzhou from the plateau, that is to say, if Leng Zhuo does not seize the time to take Shuzhou, Shuzhou will be fought for by several forces, and it will be chaotic.

In the affairs of Bai Qi's army, Leng Zhuo can't help a lot, and someone else should deal with it, and Yangzhou also has the help of the Nangong family, Leng Zhuo doesn't have to stare at it, only Shuzhou, Leng Zhuo has a place to play.

100,000 mountains, there are groups of demonic beasts, and there are many king beasts, and I heard Guo Jia say that the mountain tunnel is being opened here, Leng Zhuo also thinks it is quite interesting, and he himself is from a building background, maybe he can help somewhat, and Leng Zhuo has not moved for a long time, and it is also a good idea to practice with the demonic beasts in the mountains in the past.

Leng Zhuo took care of most of the things in his hands, in fact, he didn't need to do much, there was a government inside, and there was a secretariat inside, so there were not many places for him to worry about, after finishing up, Leng Zhuo took Xu Chu, Li Yuanba, Dian Wei and other guards to kill the 100,000 mountains.

"I heard that there are many demonic beasts in the 100,000 mountains, and there are many powerful king beasts infested, before they caught a golden pangolin, and threw the pangolin in the air for several days before subduing it, if I was here, where would I use such effort!" Li Yuanba had not arrived at the place, and he had already begun to get excited.

"When you say this, my whole body is itchy, why don't we go into the mountains and try to see who hunts the most magical beasts and is the strongest!"
