Zhao Shan heard Gao Yuan's words and ordered: "Bring the people here."
Gao Yuan ordered.
Dongchang soldiers escorted 'Liu Fuquan' over.
'Liu Fuquan', who had been tight-lipped before, was still able to walk even though his hands were tied behind his back. A fierce look flashed across his eyes, he jumped up and hit Zhao Shan with his head, saying, "Zhao Shan, take your life!"
Gao Yuan's eyes were cold and stern, he scolded him for seeking death, and kicked 'Liu Fuquan' on the chest.
boom!
There was a crash.
'Liu Fuquan' screamed and flew out uncontrollably.
'Liu Fuquan' fell to the ground with fierce eyes, and said with a smile: "Zhao Shan, you want to catch His Majesty? That is an idiot's dream. I tell you, His Majesty has already evacuated and ran far away."
"Even if you kill me, Your Majesty will definitely avenge me."
Gao Yuan discovered that the person he had arrested was a fake, and he immediately became anxious and said: "Your Majesty, I arrested someone, found out it was Liu Fuquan, and asked about it. But he didn't say a word, I didn't expect it to be a fake."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, even if Liu Fuquan runs away, it will not affect our victory. Liu Fuquan can run away from the monk, but not from the temple. Since Changyi County is here, he has no way to escape."
Gao Yuan added: "My slave will immediately arrange for people to search and arrest him along the way."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "In addition to the search, we will further inform Yuhuang and Qingxuan so that they can be prepared."
"Slave takes orders!"
Gao Yuan got the order and turned around to make arrangements.
Fang Weihu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why didn't I see Kong Lingyue? I heard the soldiers shouting earlier that your Majesty captured Kong Lingyue alive."
Zhao Shan said: "I have already instigated Kong Lingyue and pretended to let her escape. Now she is going back to Qingzhou to further instigate Kong Shentong and even further plot against Zhao Yue."
Fang Weihu thought for a while and said: "If there is no problem with His Majesty's plan, it is naturally excellent. But what if Kong Lingyue goes back on his words and just pretends to be perfunctory to His Majesty and pretends to surrender?"
Zhao Shan said: "Then take a gamble."
Fang Weihu nodded and said nothing more. After all, Zhao Shanren had been let go, and after Kong Lingyue saw Zhao Shan's strength, she knew that Qingzhou was invincible, and Yue Feipeng suppressed Qingzhou. Maybe Kong Lingyue would Return to Daqian.
This is also an opportunity.
Fang Weihu said: "Since your Majesty has arranged it, let's do it."
Zhao Shan had people take the fake 'Liu Fuquan' away, looked at Li Buyi and said, "Li Qing, when will the war in Chenliu County be cleared up?"
Li Buyi said: "Before evening."
Zhao Shan rolled his eyes and continued: "Currently, Liu Fuquan's main force has been wiped out. Although there are some elites left, they cannot pose a threat. Next, I plan to divide the troops."
Li Buyi cupped his fists and said, "Please give me your Majesty's orders."
Zhao Shan said: "Fengqing took her people to Yuzhou to attack Qin Feihu. She has only 10,000 troops. It is no problem to deal with a small number of enemy soldiers. However, it will be difficult to deal with a large-scale enemy."
"Once the news about Feng Qing leaks out, Qin Feihu will definitely use his army to fight."
"I plan to arrange for you to pick him up."
"On the one hand, Qin Feihu was once a general in Daqian, and you should be familiar with it so that you can better deal with it. On the other hand, if you lead troops to hide in the dark, you can give Qin Feihu a fatal blow."
"After your forces are united, you can further attack Qin Feihu and resolve the threat in Yuzhou."
Zhao Shan asked: "What do you think?"
Li Buyi did not answer immediately, but asked: "Your Majesty, after I bring the Shence Army and Empress Wei together, who will be the leader and who will be the auxiliary?"
Zhao Shan said without hesitation: "You are the master, and you are in charge of the army."
Li Buyi breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said, "I accept your order!"
Wei Fengqing is a young man and can be considered his junior, but these cannot suppress Wei Fengqing. After all, Wei Fengqing is Zhao Shan's woman. With Zhao Shan expressing his stance, Li Buyi could overpower Wei Fengqing and take charge of the army.
Zhao Shan asked: "How many Xuanjia troops will Li Qing need to lead troops to attack Qin Feihu?"
Li Buyi shook his head and explained: "Your Majesty, I don't need the Xuanjia Army, I only need part of the Modao Camp."
Zhao Shan asked: "How many people?"
Li Buyi chuckled and asked, "Your Majesty, can you give me five hundred people?"
"five hundred?"
Zhao Shan snorted and said in a deep voice: "My Modao camp only has 800 people in total. If I give you 500 people, I will only have 300 people left."
Li Buyi said sarcastically: "Otherwise, just give me three hundred people."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "That's all, you said you wanted five hundred people, so I will give you five hundred people, including Li Jiye. I have given you so many people, I hope you can win and don't live up to my expectations." "
Li Buyi became excited.
The Five Hundred Mo Knife Battalion, this is the sharpest knife on the battlefield, absolutely invincible.
Qin Feihu is good at rushing into formations, and he can interrupt Qin Feihu's offensive with Modao Camp, thus gaining the initiative in the war.
Li Buyi felt confident and assured: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. With the 500 Modao Battalion given by Your Majesty, and General Li Jiye's presence, there is absolutely no problem in defeating Qin Feihu."
The topic changed and Li Buyi said: "Your Majesty is going to Changyi County to ask for troops. I will leave 10,000 Shencejun infantry for your Majesty's coordination to avoid encountering Liu Fuquan's army."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "There is no need for so many, six thousand people are enough."
Li Buyi worried: "Is six thousand people too few?"
Zhao Shan looked confident and explained: "Six thousand Shence Army infantry, plus three thousand Xuanjia Army. Even if Liu Fuquan deploys another 20 to 30,000 people, I can handle it."
"The current Liu Fuquan cannot mobilize so many people. In addition, Yue Feipeng is also taking action, and Qingzhou is unable to support Liu Fuquan anymore. In addition, Yuhuang and Qingxuan people in Changyi County must also be taking action, which is enough to deal with everything. situation."
Li Buyi said: "I accept your order!"
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Go and make arrangements. Take the time to make arrangements and leave early tomorrow morning."
"I accept your order!"
Li Buyi agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
Zhao Shan, Fang Weihu and Yan Zhuo still stayed on the tower, discussing the next step to go to Changyi County.
Liu Fuquan was defeated in Chenliu County. At present, Chenliu County will definitely not have any obstacles and will go smoothly.
Even when the news of Liu Fuquan's defeat came out, all places must have surrendered and there would be no more resistance.
While Zhao Shan was discussing with Fang Weihu and Yan Zhuo, Zhou Huhou came over and saluted: "Your Majesty, Chenliu County Magistrate Zhang Peng wishes to see you."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Bring it here."
Zhou Huhou made arrangements, and soon Zhang Peng hurried over. As soon as he approached Zhao Shan, Zhang Peng knelt on the ground with a plop and saluted: "Sinner Zhang Peng, pay homage to your majesty, long live my emperor."
Zhao Shan looked at Zhang Peng who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "What do you want from you coming to see me?"
Zhang Peng said quickly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the sinner's uncle Zhang Tong is Liu Fuquan's household minister. The sinner is willing to personally visit Changyi County to persuade his uncle to submit to the imperial court and abandon the dark side to the bright side."
Zhao Shan had a smile on his face.
This is the general trend.
When the imperial court did not come, people like Zhang Peng, who came from a big family, wanted to dominate the local area and continue to be the local emperor. As long as Liu Fuquan is not killed, the Zhang family will not be affected.
Now that Liu Fuquan was defeated, Zhang Peng began to look for a way out and consider the future of his family.
This is the flexibility of a big family.
Zhao Shan knew that this was a normal situation. There were very few people in the world who persisted, had conscience, and were always loyal to the court.
It is said that the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the loyal ministers. The loyal ministers are very few, and the majority are those who follow the trend or take advantage of the chaos.
Zhao Shan did not reject Zhang Peng's proposal, and nodded and said: "If you can persuade Zhang Tong to submit to the imperial court, I can consider letting you go and reinstate your official position."
Zhang Peng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid of being held accountable.
He was afraid that the Zhang family would be implicated.
After all, if Liu Fuquan could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, the Zhang family would also fully support it.
Zhang Peng looked delighted and expressed his stance: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the sinner will definitely complete the task and live up to your Majesty's trust."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Go and perform the mission."
"Resign, sinner!"
Zhang Peng kowtowed to Zhao Shan again before turning and leaving.
After Zhang Peng left, Zhao Shan did not arrange for the official position of the prefect of Chenliu County for the time being, because he had formed a habit over the years.
After he captured the city on the front line, Zhuge Shang in the rear would naturally arrange for scholars to take over the place and arrange official positions.
This is the advantage of having a big butler in the rear.
Zhao Shan stayed in Chenliu County for a day. The next morning, Li Buyi led the Shence Army and the Five Hundred Modao Battalion to the southwest, chasing Wei Fengqing in the direction of Yuzhou.
Zhao Shan continued on his way with 6,000 Shence Army, 3,000 Xuanjia Army and 300 Modao Battalion, heading towards Changyi County.
Chenliu County was captured and Liu Fuquan fled. He did not even dare to stay in the counties along the way because he was worried that he would be tied up by the local people after his defeat.
When Liu Fuquan was strong, he was surrounded by supportive people. Now that he was defeated, Liu Fuquan was worried about the big families in these places. If a big family kidnapped him and defected to Zhao Shan, he would be in trouble.
Just like this, Liu Fuquan kept going to Changyi County.
When Liu Fuquan passed through Jiyin County, entered Shanyang County, and approached his base camp Changyi County, his impatience calmed down.
Running all the way, there is no time to rest.
Now, Liu Fuquan stopped to rest and eat the dry food he grabbed along the way.
Liu Fuquan looked at Yuan Jing, who had been following him from beginning to end, with a somewhat decadent look in his eyes, and said, "Yuan Jing, you have been following me since Youzhou."
"The King of Yan was killed. We fled south from Youzhou and came to live in Yanzhou. We finally established our current foundation. Now Zhao Shan has come and defeated us with overwhelming force. Do you think we can stop Zhao Shan's army?"
Yuan Jing did not answer directly and said: "I only know that without Your Majesty, I would have starved to death in Youzhou. No matter what Your Majesty decides, I will follow Your Majesty to the death."
Liu Fuquan smiled miserably.
From Yuan Jing's words, he also heard that Yuan Jing thought that this battle might be unstoppable.
Difficult!
Liu Fuquan sighed and said: "To this day, I remember that we should stick to the defense in the county seat of Chenliu County. Kong Lingyue's judgment was not bad at all."
"If we ignore the fighting outside the city and Zhao Shan's threat, we should be able to defend Chenliu County."
"With the county seat here, Zhao Shan can be weakened."
"Unexpectedly, I also followed suit and persuaded Kong Lingyue to order the battle, resulting in a complete defeat."
Liu Fuquan looked helpless and said, "I regret it, I regret it. If I hadn't acted arbitrarily, this wouldn't have been the result. It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world, and it's a pity that I can't go back to the past."
Yuan Jing sat beside him without saying a word.
What's the use of regret?
Under the circumstances at that time, Zhao Shan was aggressive and used prisoners to provoke and stimulate, especially Zhao Shan also used Kong Lingyue to stimulate, Liu Fuquan could not stabilize at all.
Liu Fuquan continued to ramble: "Yuan Jing, I want to kill Zhao Shan and take revenge. Do you think there is a chance?"
Yuan Jing said: "Your Majesty never gave up when faced with desperate situations in the past. Why are you giving up now? As long as Your Majesty doesn't give up, there will always be opportunities."
Liu Fuquan was stunned for a moment.
It seems true.
When he fled from Youzhou to Yanzhou, he didn't give up even though the situation was so difficult. Why was he panicking now?
Liu Fuquan gritted his teeth and said: "You are right, I can't give up. I still have the troops from Changyi County and the support of countless people."
"With Huo Dan, Zhang Tong and others at the rear, countless soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and the strong city of Changyi County, why are you afraid? Even if we fight a protracted war, I am not afraid of Zhao Shan."
Yuan Jing said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Fuquan stopped talking. After resting for two quarters of an hour, he took Yuan Jing and a group of soldiers who had withdrawn and continued on their way.
At the same time, in Changyi County.
In the south of the city, in a residence.
After Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan infiltrated, He Dongchang had already joined them, and their continuous actions had also instigated the rebellion of a few families.
On the one hand, the imperial court was stronger and had a greater chance of winning; on the other hand, Yue Feipeng had already entered Qingzhou and Yue Feipeng had won. It was difficult for the Yanzhou army to resist alone, which made many people's minds wander.
Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Yuhuang sat opposite each other. There were signs in front of them, all of which were written on the officials of the Xia Kingdom under Liu Fuquan, as well as the situation of many big families.
Ye Qingxuan said: "Sister Yuhuang, today, we have won over the head of the Yu family in Changyi County, and even instigated the rebellion of the garrison in the west city of Changyi County. In addition, a few generals in the Changyi County garrison have been instigated. We can also capture Changyi County now."
Jiang Yuhuang said: "If you want to take action, you can do it reluctantly. However, I also hope to instigate Huo Dan to rebel. If Huo Dan is instigated to rebel, it will be easy to seize Changyi County."
"It's difficult."
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and said, "I met Huo Dan when I arrived in Changyi County before. He was also from Prince Yan's palace at the time, but this person was won over by Liu Fuquan and it was difficult to instigate rebellion."
Jiang Yuhuang smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. There is always a chance. The front lines are fighting, and we have enough time to plan. There is no need to rush."
"Report!"
Just at this moment, a fan from Dongchang came in and saluted, "I've seen these two empresses."
Jiang Yuhuang asked, "What's the matter?"
Dongchang Fanzi reported: "Reporting to Empress Jiang, news came from Chenliu County. Your Majesty has completely defeated Liu Fuquan's army. He has also defeated the Qingzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou coalition forces and achieved a great victory."
"Currently, Liu Fuquan is on his way back. His Majesty said that Liu Fuquan will be back soon. Please pay attention to your safety."
Jiang Yuhuang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Sister Qingxuan, the opportunity has come to rebel against Huo Dan."
Ye Qingxuan is also an extremely smart person. He knows everything right. He immediately understood what Jiang Yuhuang meant and said, "Sister Yuhuang means that if Liu Fuquan is defeated, Huo Dan may betray him."
"Yes, that's the truth."
A flash of light flashed across Jiang Yuhuang's eyes, and he said: "Besides, let's use your identity as sister to move people with love and reason. With the emotional and rational instigation of rebellion, coupled with the crushing force of the general trend, Huo Dan has no choice but to Don’t react.”
"These days, I have been studying Huo Dan."
"This man is indeed capable."
"Liu Fuquan has handed over all government affairs to Huo Dan, especially the selection of talents. Huo Dan is responsible for it. The people he promoted are all good, at least they can do things pragmatically."
"If Huo Dan is a bachelor, that's it. However, Huo Dan has married a wife and has a son in Changyi County. He has given birth to a big fat boy. He loves this son especially."
"With worries about his future, can he just ignore it?"
Jiang Yuhuang said in a deep voice: "For multiple reasons, we can invite Huo Dan to talk. If he cooperates, it will be easier to handle. If he does not cooperate, then Huo Dan will be killed."
Ye Qingxuan praised: "I have no objection to Sister Jiang's plan."
A smile appeared on Jiang Yuhuang's face, he looked at Dongchang Fanzi, and ordered: "Go and arrange for someone to send a message quietly and tell Huo Dan that there is an ancient man from Youzhou and invite him to come here to reminisce about the past."
Dongchang Fanzi said: "Mother, what if Huo Dan comes with an army?"
Jiang Yuhuang snorted and said, "If he comes with an army, don't we know to leave early? We can only meet him if he comes with a few personal guards or no one."
"clear!"
Dongchang Fanzi turned around and went to make arrangements.
Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan discussed the specific details before waiting quietly.
