In October 245 of Daning, Qu Shangqun quickly transported the 40,000 people and 20,000 Xiangyang troops mobilized by Wang Lizheng to Hezhou through warships.

Zhong Zhenhua now especially hopes that the imperial court will react, he is actually not afraid of Lin Jianyue, deliberately showed weakness to Lin Jianyue, and gave up the important land in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which is to create an opportunity for Qu Shangqun, a person who has long had a backbone, to conflict with the imperial court.

Zhong Zhenhua didn't know that this was transporting troops, but in order to cover the strategic purpose, Qu Shangqun deliberately took an empty ship to show off his might on the Yangtze River, and even approached the Jianning Naval Division for a time, but Qu Shangqun had long known that the Imperial Court Naval Division would not move, and with Wang Gui, Li Qinian, and Dou Shiquan in Jianning, how could he be allowed to move?

Zhong Zhenhua also didn't have the strength to argue with Lin Jianyue, let alone have any conflict with Lin Jianyue in the Central Plains, the entire Jinghu Road was the object he gave up, or the object of trading with Lin Jianyue.

He has pretended to reach a cooperation agreement with Qi Yunji, and will fully support Qi Yunhai on Kuizhou Road, and his condition is to let Qi Yunji find a way to give him a prince in the imperial court at the right time, and the king of the county can also do it.

But Zhong Zhenhua's real purpose was to capture Kuizhou Road, occupy Shuzhong, and become a veritable king of the southwest.

Zhong Zhenhua has served as the commander of the Jinghu two roads to pacify one side for many years, cultivating and attracting many henchmen, and the power is not small, the most important thing is that no one knows that the current Shu handsome Huang Yao is his half-brother, of course, Huang Yao can become Shu Shuai, mainly because Zhong Zhenhua secretly makes a force and Huang Yao's own ability is not bad, and he has made many meritorious contributions in the south to pacify the local people, and the economy and people's livelihood in Shuzhong are stable, and they have gradually risen.

Zhong Zhenhua and the two brothers have already discussed secretly together, Jinghu Road is a good place, densely populated, and economically developed, but it is too restricted by the imperial court, not to mention anything else, that is, around Jiangling Mansion in the center of Jinghu West Road, Zhong Zhenhua has to look at the face of the Wang family many times, not to mention that Wang Gui is a veteran of the three dynasties and the prime minister of the dynasty.

It stands to reason that with the conditions of Jinghu Road, there is no big problem in organizing and training an army of 400,000 or 500,000, but Zhong Zhenhua has not continued to expand his military strength, and what has he done with the money, food, and materials he has looted for many years? All of them were secretly transferred to Shuzhong by him, and the real families of his henchmen and generals were gradually transferred, and even the population had shifted a lot, so Zhong Zhenhua had no intention of taking root on Jinghu Road.

In the past, the two brothers used to have ambitions, but looking at the momentum of Lin Jianyue's rise, Zhong Zhenhua was very self-aware, and understood that he could not compete with Lin Jianyue in these prosperous places in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, so he simply gave up Jinghu West Road first, and he could also achieve some ulterior purposes. He understands better that looking at Wang Gui's attitude towards Lin Jianyue, even if he doesn't take the initiative, this place will ultimately be Lin Jianyue's.

But Shuzhong plus Kuizhou Road is different, there is the world-famous mountains and rivers risk, with Zhong Zhenhua and Huang Yao's two brothers for so many years of savings, more than 500,000 huge troops, more than ten or twenty years of savings, that is, Lin Jianyue and Lin Jian'an two brothers attacked Shuzhong from two directions together, they are not afraid, and they have long been prepared for defense, it is still certain to be the king of the southwest, and it is not impossible to finally declare himself to Lin Jianyue, as long as he can ensure his own territorial status.

Zhong Zhenhua knows that Jiangnan seems to have a lot of people and many troops, but the fighting spirit and combat effectiveness are really not good, and it is definitely not the opponent of the hundreds of thousands of elite troops under the command of Yan Wangfu, who has fought a hundred battles and fought against Hu, once the two sides clash, Zhong Zhenhua will immediately contact Lin Jianyue, not only will not listen to the order of the imperial court to attack Lin Jianyue, but will send Jinghu Road directly to Lin Jianyue, with only one condition, support him to be king in the southwest, and it is best to support a part of the elite to assist him in attacking Kuizhou Road.

The abacus is good, but unfortunately the imperial court is too soft, and Zhong Zhenhua has to continue to wait for opportunities in Tanzhou and find further ways to provoke.

Wu Zhong didn't expect that the troops transferred by Wang Lizheng and Qu Shangqun were actually quite elite, and even the generals and people in charge of logistics were fully equipped.

The main army is outside, and it can still form a large army, and Lin Jianyue's current strength is indeed growing extremely rapidly.

The Enemy Intelligence Department kept coming in the news that Pu Jinzhong's main force had begun to gather on the border of Haizhou, but it still left more than 30,000 foot soldiers in Chuzhou, and Yangzhou was about the same.

Wu Zhong is full of ambition, with an army of seventy or eighty thousand, and a lot of internal response on Huaidong Road, this has the opportunity to make a great contribution to the expansion of territory for His Royal Highness, I heard that Yangzhou is not only prosperous, but also beautiful like a cloud, in addition to Ren Shuang, you have to search it well, the palace is so big, and there are too few people in His Highness's harem.

Lin Jianyue already knew that Sun Zhengyi's army was fighting with Zhou Qing's Xuzhou regimental camp around Mangdang Mountain, and that he had reached an alliance with Pu Jinzhong of Yangzhou, Huaidong, and easily obtained the matter of Chuzhou.

After carefully looking at the map of the Central Plains for a while, Lin Jianyue was a little worried, once Pu Jinzhong began to attack the Shandong Peninsula, Li Chongshan might not dare to come to Luoyang, and he might go to destroy Pu Jinzhong first and solve his worries.

You can't just watch your allies annihilate like this! Once Pu Jinzhong is defeated, the army of Jingdong Road will come together, and there are other variables, although Sun Zhengyi is strong, it is not enough to see in front of hundreds of thousands of Menghu elite troops, it seems that with the change of the situation, we have to continue to adjust the strategy.

Lin Jianyue immediately recruited Liu Bingyun, Li Ziyang, Li Yang, and Tie Qinglin in Luoyang to study the strategic adjustment together, if he knew that this was intentional by Sun Zhengyi and a few people, he didn't know how angry he would be, and it was estimated that someone would be immediately dismissed and demoted.

Liu Bingyun didn't know Sun Zhengyi's plan, but he was secretly happy in his heart, this time His Highness probably didn't have to take risks, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, could it be that Elder Shiji was really an immortal? Can you see this?

Putting aside the distractions, Liu Bingyun said first: "Pu Jinzhong has always been cautious, it is estimated that he will not make a move until Li Chongshan comes into contact with us, otherwise how dare he take the initiative to attack?" ”

Lin Jianyue nodded, this is inevitable.

"As soon as Li Chongshan arrives in Kaifeng, he must first pay attention to where His Highness is, and His Highness is naturally still in Luoyang. Li Chongshan's army must move east or south first, but if you don't fight, Pu Jinzhong will not move, my suggestion is that Liu Jiahao's Wuwei army attack first, first occupy Chenzhou Yingzhou, and then say, especially Chenzhou, directly facing Kaifeng, can make Sun Zhengyi do a good job of Chenzhou's defense first, and the defense equipment is ready, attracting Li Chongshan's attention, and there is not much pressure to fight a defensive battle. ”

Lin Jianyue frowned and said, "If this is the case, Li Chongshan may not come to Luoyang, so how can there be a chance to surround him?" ”

What you want is that Li Chongshan does not come to Luoyang, Liu Bingyun continued: "The key is that Pu Jinzhong will not move if he doesn't fight, and he will move early, so that Li Chongshan can't take care of each other." If the Wuwei army does not move, Li Chongshan will inevitably come to Luoyang to find His Royal Highness, at this time Pu Jinzhong began to attack the Shandong Peninsula, the backyard caught fire, Luoyang is not a day or two in January and February can be taken, Li Chongshan is likely to go back, we can't catch up with him, the distance is so far, we can't and Pu Jinzhong to attack Li Chongshan, then Pu Jinzhong will definitely die, it doesn't matter if he dies, but to fish Li Chongshan again, it is impossible, when the heavy troops gather in Kaifeng Mansion and Jingdong Road do not move, how do we attack, Even if there is Son Masayoshi as the internal response, it is not of much use. ”
