Some people do their best to spend energy and burn their hearts and minds for the boss, and some people can't stop in the harem, working until their faces are pale, and Li Yu has to be the most correct of these three views.

Liu Weihuo and her father Liu Renzhen were always staring at Zhang Wenbiao's movements in Yuanzhou and wanted to enter Hengzhou several times to negotiate with Zhang Wenbiao, while Li Yu was always staring at Zhongcui Palace and entered Zhongcui Palace several times to sing with Liu Weihuo night and night.

However, there was not much time left for Li Yu to be a few clouds and rains, and the tension in the Tang State was not optimistic, and Jingzhou Jiedu made Lin Renzhao's side a smooth first soldier and then salute to open the door to Changsha Mansion after Wu Ping stayed behind Zhou Baoquan, while the situation on the side of the hussar general Liu Renzhen was not very satisfactory.

After Liu Renzhen and others received Li Yu's order, the fast army marched all the way down the southwest road into Yuanzhou, and at the same time trained troops in the northern part of Yizhang County, Chenzhou, Southern Han Territory, and beware of Zhang Wenbiao going south day and night.

Yuan Zhou's army had been stationed in Shanggaocheng, which was close to Hengzhou, for five days, and sent envoys to Hengzhou many times to negotiate with Zhang Wenbiao, the military envoy of Hengzhou.

However, Zhang Wenbiao somehow pushed back many times, so Liu Renzhen guessed that this Wenbiao didn't think about relying on the army of the Tang State to oppose Changsha at all.

Therefore, Zhang Wenbiao did not meet with the Tang army for a long time, and he could only focus on the monarch of the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Gang, who sent troops to cut off all the roads into Chenzhou, but he did not know whether Zhang Wenbiao went all the way south from Lianzhou to find the Southern Han army for help.

"General, my Yuanzhou army can't wait any longer... If you wait like this, not to mention that you can't wait for Zhang Wenbiao to negotiate with my Datang, I'm afraid that I will directly wait for the army of the Southern Han Kingdom! Once the Southern Han army intervenes, the Tang Emperor's plan to annex Wuping will be burned! ”

The camp itself was silent for a while, and Wang Changbao, who was transferred with Liu Renzhen, spoke on the side and persuaded Wang Changbao to assist Liu Renzhen on this trip as a supervisor.

"Father, now Zhang Wenbiao's ambition is obvious, and he wants to help him seize the position of Wuping through the army of the Southern Han Dynasty. It's not a failure! For today's plan, the only way to do this is to send troops to attack Hengzhou, and you can't give Zhang Wenbiao time to drag it on! Liu Renzhen's son, Liu Chongliang, the captain of the army, suddenly got up and persuaded Liu Renzhen with Wang Changbao on the left and on the right.

"It is not easy to attack Hengzhou, if Zhou Baoquan sees the intentions of my Tang State again, and unites Zhang Wenbiao to jointly oppose Tang, it will not be easy to take Wuping at that time! Southern Han and Xishu reacted, and naturally wanted to send troops to disrupt the plan of our Tang Kingdom. Liu Renzhen was silent for a long time, and replied to the two of them with his neck stalked.

Liu Renzhen's worries are not unreasonable, Li Yu's original plan was to successfully persuade Zhang Wenbiao to raise troops to attack Changsha in the north, and Changsha Mansion sent troops south to quell the chaos under the instigation of Lin Renzhao, and fought to the death with Zhang Wenbiao's army. Then at this time, the plan of the Tang State can be completed, when the two armies attacked each other, the Tang State took advantage of the situation to lead the army and defeated the defeated Zhou Baoquan and Zhang Wenbiao two armies in one fell swoop.

The attack on Hengzhou is an alternative, if Zhang Wenbiao has a sharp eye to see through the road of the Tang State, then Zhang Wenbiao, the old fox, can no longer be left, and must be attacked with a fierce army, and then echo with Zhou Baoquan's northern army, and then slowly try to encroach on Zhou Baoquan.

"Yesterday, Lin Renzhao sent a military report, after Wu Ping stayed, Zhou Baoquan had been moved, and he decided to send troops south to exterminate Zhang Wenbiao's family, and at the same time, when Lin Renzhao asked me to send troops, I tried to find a way to remove Zhou Baoquan's close minister Yang Shiwan... But if Zhang Wenbiao did not go north to make trouble according to the plan of my Tang Kingdom, it would be easy to get rid of the big trouble of Yang Shiwan! ”

Liu Ren looked at the military formation map of Hengzhou's terrain and said slowly.

"Is there any news in Chenzhou? Did you find out that there was an envoy or suspicious person in the Wuping army going south! Liu Renzhen was worried that the south was sick, so he immediately asked again.

"Father, the children have all been investigated, there are no suspicious people on Yongxing Road in Chenzhou, Yichang Pass, and Linwu City!"

"That's good, we must beware of Zhang Wenbiao's collusion with Liu Gang, in addition, quickly send a message to Jinling, and let Han Wenqing send secret agents to the Southern Han Kingdom to find out whether Zhang Wenbiao's people have entered the Southern Han Dynasty!"

Liu Renzhen only calmed down for a moment, then turned his head and asked Wang Changbao, the supervising army, "You said that you can't wait, don't you think that you have to send troops to attack Hengzhou now?" ”

"Returning to the general, since the elite of our Tang Army entered Yuanzhou, it has been stationed high, and the Hengzhou Army must be trying to find out the number of our Tang Army, at this time... The fortifications must also be done, so a hard attack on our Tang army will be damaged! It is also not conducive to completing the cannibalization plan of the Son of Heaven! Wang Changbao, who was standing upright, had a solemn look in his eyes and said to Liu Renzhen.

"Since you can't leave any more time for Zhang Wenbiao to drag on, if you don't attack hard? What other strategies can open the door of the Hengzhou Army! Liu Renzhen walked out of the tent and looked at the Yuanzhou army who was training outside, and was also a little suspicious of the combat strength of the local sergeants in Yuanzhou.

"It's better to take people to Hengzhou again, give Zhang Wenbiao an ultimatum for the last half of the day, and intimidate Hengzhou If he doesn't negotiate with the Tang army for half a day, he will echo with Zhou Baoquan's Changsha army in the north and south, annihilate Hengzhou, and slaughter Zhang Wenbiao's entire family after entering the city!"

When Wang Changbao came here, Li Yu only gave 10,000 elites of the Longxiang army, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers were all recruited by Yuanzhou City, and the geometry of combat power was uncertain, and the defenders of Hengzhou were only about 20,000.

So at this time, to give an ultimatum, Hengzhou must not have much courage to fight hard with the Tang army of more than 50,000, even if Hengzhou City is defended, Zhang Wenbiao's elite army will inevitably be killed and wounded more than half, and it will be difficult to support the army in the future, and it can only become Zhou Baoquan's knife.

"The old man's intention is the same, no matter how stupid Zhang Wenbiao is, he also knows what the situation is when my 50,000 Tang troops are pressing, let him go out of the city and talk to me at that time, if he still doesn't know how to raise and wants to reject my Tang State, then he can only attack, and he must hold Hengzhou's throat before the Southern Han army comes, so that he will be difficult to succeed."

"Then without further ado, the last general will lead more than 50 horsemen into Hengzhou, raise the Tang flag, and see if Zhang Wenbiao is willing to go out of the city!"

......

The fact is indeed much more troublesome than Liu Renzhen imagined, and it was expected that Lin Renzhao captured the Sanjiangkou in the north of Wuping and forced Zhou Baoquan to negotiate successfully, but he didn't expect that the plan here in Yuanzhou would be difficult.

Now it seems that Zhou Baoquan is still young and easy to control after all, and Zhou Baoquan has a Confucian person like Li Guanxiang by his side, Li Guanxiang knows that Wu Ping will die sooner or later, and he does not want to lose his life, so whether he knows about the encroachment plan of the Tang State or not, it is impossible to stir Zhou Baoquan's anti-Tang Dynasty with great fanfare.

And Zhang Wenbiao is different, after all, he and Zhou Xingfeng started together, and from a farmer to this position, he must have his extraordinary ability, and he will not do everything into Liu Renzhen's intentions, and honestly cooperate with Tang Guo to send troops to make trouble.

"This Hengzhou army is indeed a number of fierce soldiers defending the city, no wonder Zhou Xingfeng wanted to get rid of Zhang Wenbiao, but he didn't dare to do it, if Wuping's northern and southern armies really fought, it would be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser."

Let's say that Wang Changbao, who has crossed the border between Tang and Wuping, has watched the well-trained and brave armies of Hengzhou all the way, and sighed for a while, and admired that this Hengzhou army has been able to dominate the south under such ruthless people as Zhou Xingfeng for so many years, and it is indeed a great ability, but unfortunately, such a ruthless character has become the enemy of Tang State.

"You mean, the Tang Kingdom has sent envoys to my Hengyang City again?" In Hengyang City, Zhang Shi suddenly rose in shock and grabbed the sergeant who kept the letter and asked questions.

This stone is the third son of Zhang Wenbiao's knees, this person has a hair in front of his eyebrows, and a jagged neck in the back, which looks very evil and not out of order.

"General Huiyu... Yuan Zhou of the Tang State sent Wang Changbao, the overseer, this time, and asked me to wait for the city gate to open the city gate to talk to him, and inform him under the city..."The sergeant who delivered the message only trembled for a while, but he did not dare to say any more.

"What else did he say? Hurry up! ”

"He also said... If you don't discuss it with Tang Guohaosheng again... Then, the army will overwhelm the border, and Hengyang will be destroyed in the near future! ”
