"At present, the ice and snow are melting, the road is difficult to travel, Zhu Changlong has his back to the east of the river and holds the stronghold, and his eldest brother Zhu Changsheng has gathered more than 10,000 people in the north of Hongnong, and he can support him at any time, and we will definitely suffer a big loss if we take the initiative to attack......

In the Taishou Mansion, He Junshi analyzed the current situation and felt helpless.

To the southeast of Feng Yi, Wei Xian's large army confronted Zhu Changlong and reached a stalemate, but Feng Yi's situation was temporarily stabilized.

Wei Xian sighed and said, "Only wait for the weather to improve before finding a way, and the troops are insufficient, the imperial court should still be able to support a group after a while!"

After a pause, he said fiercely: "His grandmother's Nie Jin is really a-stirring stick, and a casual action has relieved the Hanshui Gang a big breath, and the good situation of Hongnong and Feng Yi has been messed up." ”

He Junshi said solemnly: "Nie Jin's skill is clever and strong, in addition to more than 20,000 Tianluo gang descendants, in addition to gathering ordinary people plus more than 80,000 people from all walks of life, sitting in Xingyang, the surrounding Wei County, Yingchuan, Xiangcheng, Liang County, and Hanoi are all threatened, if he didn't suddenly suppress Luoyang, maybe he would have eaten Wei County." ”

When everyone heard this, they all sighed.

Nie Jin would rather give up the good opportunity to seize Wei County than help the Hanshui Gang breathe, which shows that his vision is far-reaching, which is not the same as an ordinary traitor.

Li Wuchang and Tao Jianyu on the side were still recuperating, they were drinking and chatting, but they were suddenly called over for a meeting by Wang Taishou, saying that there were other arrangements.

Tao Jianyu coughed lightly and asked, "General Wei, I don't know what your order is to call me and General Li over this time, and you won't let us attack Zhu Changlong as a commando, right?"

General Wei asked, "By the way, I haven't been very concerned about it, what about your losses?"

Tao Jianyu sighed: "Although we defeated Xiang Cong, we also suffered heavy losses, General Li's men have a little more left, there are about six hundred, and General Mo and I only have less than four hundred left, and most of them are injured, so even if we pull to the southeast of Feng Yi, I am afraid it will not help much." If it weren't for the fact that we had a few hands on Xiang Cong, plus General Li took advantage of the heavy snow to personally lead the elite to take risks and slaughter the old thief Xiang Cong in one fell swoop, I am afraid that there would still be a fight. ”

Wei Xian nodded, lost in thought.

Li Wuchang asked cautiously: "General Wei, during this period, the three of us have not replenished our troops, is it really that difficult in Yongzhou? Doesn't it mean that the imperial court has recruited troops in Liangzhou and Jingzhou a long time ago? Why don't you give more support to Feng Yi? If we don't replenish our troops and continue to fight like this, I think even if we pull up the defenders of Feng Yicheng, we will have to fill them all." ”

Indeed it is.

Wei Xian sighed: "I don't know! Liangzhou and Jingzhou have indeed recruited a lot of troops, but Liangzhou's troops need to support Wuyuan and Shuofang's side. ”

After a pause, he said solemnly: "And Jingzhou, except for the two giants Zuo Qian and Sikong Sheng, alas...... The latest news, Xiangyang City and a lot of gangsters took advantage of the situation to attack, spread to the four directions, the speed is extremely fast, they did not attack the city to occupy an area, but gathered around the rudder, looted everywhere, and at the same time collected people to develop strength, similar to the rogue Kou, in Nanyang, Fangling, Nanjun, Yiling, Handong, Chungling and other places set off a bloody storm, although there is no giant like the Hanshui Gang and the Tianluo Gang, but the riot caused is not small at all, tens of thousands of people died within a few days, many towns, farms were burned. ”

The crowd changed color at the same time.

There are many gangs in Xiangyang County, and the masters are like clouds, following the Hanshui Gang and the Tianluo Gang, they finally moved again.

Wei Xian smiled bitterly: "Now you understand why Jingzhou has recruited so many soldiers, but it has never supported Yongzhou, right? In fact, there were signs last autumn, and it was not until not long ago that it broke out on a large scale. ”

Li Wuchang shook his head secretly, when the Great Yan Disaster first broke out, Jingzhou was better, but now Jingzhou has become the most serious.

Wang Taishou muttered, "What should I do then? This is too messy, isn't it?"

Wei Xian coughed and said solemnly: "In addition to the Jingzhou disaster, there is another big news that must be told to everyone...... Dayan is going to make peace with the Huns!"

Everyone was stunned.

Tao Jianyu was puzzled: "Negotiate peace, didn't the Huns have the upper hand? They are willing to negotiate peace? Even if they negotiate peace, they will take off a layer of meat from Dayan, right?"

Wei Xian explained: "The disaster of Dayan, the Xiongnu have always been a priority for the imperial court. If there is no hard power, the Huns will not meet and ...... A few days ago, His Royal Highness the King of Shu defeated the main force of 90,000 Xiongnu in Shuofang County, forced it back to Wuyuan County, and then took the opportunity to propose peace, and the Xiongnu had agreed. ”

There was an uproar.

How can it be?

Tao Jianyu frowned and said: "No, right? The King of Shu, Xue Tingshi, and Qin Siyu are all first-class generals, that's right, they have been fighting with the Huns for so long, and they have always been at a disadvantage." Well, I'm not saying that the strength of the King of Shu is not enough, but to defeat the main force of the Xiongnu that is 90,000 more brutal than the Khitans at once, is it, is it ......"

He spoke the minds of the people.

If the main force of the Huns is really so easy to defeat, it was defeated as early as last year, and the elite of Yongzhou is almost filled, and the follow-up is either a reserve or a recruit, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is fighting with the Huns.

Wei Xian sighed and said, "At this point, there is nothing to hide...... In fact, Commander Li had already brought 30,000 Praetorian Guards to sneak over, and took advantage of the chaos to come out and hit the Huns by surprise!"

Oh, my God!

It turned out to be so.

Unexpectedly, even the Praetorian Guards went out, and it was led by Li Lingwu himself.

How much risk does this have?

There are only tens of thousands of people in the Praetorian Guard, and there are so many dispatches this time, if there are unscrupulous elements who take the opportunity to cause chaos, the entire Chang'an City will be wiped out at once.

Wei Xian continued: "This is also something that cannot be helped...... Such a thunderous blow can be regarded as showing some hard power, it has been fighting for so long, and the losses of the Huns are not small, if they fight hard, they will not be comfortable. However, one thing is certain, Dayan will definitely be scraped off a layer of skin, and the Huns are very fine. ”

Wang Taishou sighed: "Even if it is to negotiate peace, it will take a long time to negotiate, so Shuo Fang's troops still need to be guaranteed, in case, hey, I said in case, if there is any unscrupulous element colluding with Cui Ping or Sang Taishou, then ......"

Wei Xian waved his hand and said, "Commander Li will definitely return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and Liangzhou's troops will also need to continue to be transferred to Shuofang, and Cui Ping and Sang Taishou have always been loyal, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in the short term......"

Li Wuchang shook his head secretly, not so optimistic.

Cui Ping's person Li Wuchang has also seen it, and he can't see through it at all, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't turn his heart sideways.

"Ahem...... General Wei, that kind of big thing, it's useless for a little miscellaneous fish like me to know about it, and I don't know what you ordered you to call me and Tao Jianyu over today? Are you really going to attack Zhu Changlong?" Li Wuchang was stunned.

"You are modest, when will the fierce general of our rebellious army become a small miscellaneous fish?" Wei Xian looked at Li Wuchang and laughed, "Now that Feng Yi is in a confrontation situation in the southeast, we don't have the strength to deal a blow to Zhu Changlong, and when the troops come down, it is estimated that the ice and snow will completely melt, and then it will continue, but the situation in Jingzhou is even more severe, so ......"

"You won't send the two of us to Jingzhou, will you?" Li Wuchang smiled bitterly.

"Is there anything wrong? There are soldiers in Jingzhou, but there is a lack of generals, especially excellent generals, the order of the military department, since Feng Yi has temporarily stabilized, he will select excellent generals to go to Jingzhou to suppress bandits, you Li Wuchang has suppressed a lot of bandits since Feng Yi came, Tao Jianyu is also a first-class fierce general, who are you not going to go? Stay in Feng Yicheng and stare at it?" Wei Xian said lightly.

Iniquity!
