Hearing what Xiang Zeng said, Xu Zhaojie nodded in agreement, and then said with some emotion: "When I was in Sichuan a few years ago, I met this Song Weijie. At that time, I really didn't see that this person had anything. With such ability, I never thought that he would become a figure now. This is really an impermanent thing..." Although Xu Zhaojie is very He didn't want to admit it, and he had never said it, but in his heart he had already acquiesced. His Zhennan Army could no longer fight against the Fengwu Army alone. The Zhennan Army alone would not be able to resist Fengwu Army alone. The mighty army of the military!
Therefore, under the planning of a group of counselors, Xu Zhaojie began to look for partners in the Fengwu Army to fight together. His first target was Lu Jianchao, who was still fighting not long ago!
Although the Jiangnan Army's combat effectiveness is average, the whole world knows that Jiangnan is rich. If they can win over Lu Jianchao, Xu Zhaojie will no longer have to worry about anything other than food and salary!
However, although Xu Zhaojie wanted to enlist Lu Jianchao to fight against the Fengwu Army, it was a pity that he was intimidated by the Fengwu Army and that Xu Zhaojie tried to invade Jiangnan not long ago.
Lu Jianchao was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. He did not dare to cooperate with Xu Zhaojie. He was released by the Zhennan Army of Chishan Prefecture. The envoys of the Zhennan Army tried their best to beg his grandfather to tell his grandmother. Result!
When Jiangnan could not get much assistance, Xu Zhaojie had to turn his attention to the chaotic Sichuan and Sichuan... ······After the Luo'an Incident, Xu Zhaojie also followed the Luo'an court to Sichuan and Shu. The few years he spent in Sichuan and Shu were the most unsuccessful and decadent period in Xu Zhaojie's life.
Even so, Xu Zhaojie did not spend time in Sichuan and Sichuan. He also got to know some local people in Sichuan and Sichuan and formed some good relationships!
This time Xu Zhaojie also relied on his connections in Sichuan and Sichuan to deliver the letter to Song Weijie!
However, Xu Zhaojie originally wrote this letter not to Song Weijie, but to Shangguan Tingshu. At the same time, he had no intention of ceding Yongzhou Hengzhou to Sichuan!
Xu Zhaojie believed at that time that Ye Mingsheng and the Shangguan family had a life-and-death feud, so as long as he was willing to fight against the Fengwu Army, Shangguan Tingshu would definitely do his best to help him avenge the Fengwu Army!
However, when Xu Zhaojie had written the letter and was about to bring it to Shangguan Tingshu, news came from Sichuan and Shu. Song Weijie united with many powerful local figures in Sichuan and Shu to directly kill Shangguan Tingshu and his party members. , Song Weijie also called himself the Governor of Sichuan and Sichuan!
This news undoubtedly caught Xu Zhaojie off guard, but in order to win over the new force of Sichuan and Shu, he had to tear up the letter he had written to Shangguan Tingshu and write a new letter to Song Weijie, calling him Yongzhou. Heheng Prefecture and its hundreds of thousands of local people came to seduce Song Weijie... He had always been very strong, but with the Fengwu Army winning consecutive battles, Ye Mingsheng began to become arrogant.
Therefore, if Ye Mingsheng knew that the Sichuan-Shu Army was coming to help him, then with Ye Mingsheng's arrogant character, he would definitely not give up. In all likelihood, he would regard the Sichuan-Shu Army as an enemy and would want to kill Song Weijie, the Sichuan Army. Governor of Shu!
At that time, even if Song Weijie did not want to be an enemy of the Fengwu Army, facing the pressing Fengwu Army, the Sichuan-Shu Army could only follow him, Xu, all the way to the end!
In this way, although the cost of catching up with hundreds of thousands of people in Yongzhou and Hengzhou is very high, Xu Zhaojie thinks it is still worth it compared to dragging Song Weijie and the Sichuan and Shu Army on his pirate ship to deal with the Fengwu Army together!
However, what Xu Zhaojie didn't expect was that Song Weijie also saw his purpose, but Song Weijie also had his own ideas!
Although Song Weijie proclaimed himself the Grand Governor of Sichuan and Sichuan and controlled all military and political matters in Sichuan and Shu, unfortunately there were many powerful people in the local area. They also followed Song Weijie's orders in secret, and it was not appropriate to go out with the left ear and in with the right ear. One thing!
And this is obviously not what Song Weijie wants to see! As the saying goes, there is no room for others to snore on the side of the bed. Song Weijie wants to take over all the power in Sichuan and Sichuan and become a true governor of Sichuan and Sichuan... ·········However, there are many soldiers and horses in the local area. If they fight directly, Song Weijie may not be able to win this battle. This is also what makes Song Weijie very jealous. So when he saw Xu Zhaojie’s letter to borrow troops, After writing the letter, Song Weijie wanted to take advantage of Xu Zhaojie's letter of borrowing troops to eliminate dissidents and mobilize the troops from Sichuan and Shu who did not listen to his call!
Although Jingchu is not as prosperous as Jiangnan and Huainan, it is still slightly more prosperous than the land of Sichuan and Shu!
Therefore, after hearing that Xu Zhaojie was willing to give Yongzhou and Hengzhou as rewards, and that he was willing to divide up half of the other territories he had conquered, everyone was moved.
In addition, although the Fengwu Army has been powerful in recent years and has won consecutive victories, it is far in the north after all. Although the people in Sichuan and Sichuan know that the Fengwu Army is powerful, they do not know how powerful the Fengwu Army is, so they are not very loyal to it. Military force!
In addition, Song Weijie secretly added fuel to the flames, so soon this group of people gathered nearly 30,000 troops and rushed to Jingchu under the leadership of Yang Zhen and Cai Qiang.
Xu Zhaojie originally wanted to hook more Shu troops, but after thinking clearly about Song Weijie's thoughts, he began to feel that the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were most likely the first and last batch of Shu troops to come to Jingchu to support him. !
Feeling the melancholy in Xu Zhaojie's expression, Xiang Zeng said very calmly: "Master Hou, Ye Mingsheng is very strong and domineering, so even if Song Weijie is willing to surrender to him, he will not accept Song Weijie and Sichuan Shu to continue to remain independent. In my opinion, Song Weijie is not a good person, and the conflict between the two of them is inevitable..."
"So as long as our army fights this battle well and lets the heroes of the world know that the Fengwu Army is not invincible, then I believe that more and more loyal people in the world will stand up to resist Ye Mingsheng's tyranny!" Xiang Zeng said It was like a shot in the arm, making Xu Zhaojie, who had been a little melancholy just now, immediately become energetic again.
At this moment, a guard walked in quickly and reported to Xu Zhaojie: "Master Hou, Liu Shuxin, the commander of Qianhu Guards, wants to see you!" After hearing this, Xu Zhaojie immediately ordered: "Let him come in!"
"Yes!" Under Xu Zhaojie's order, a man who looked like an iron tower strode into the room. When he saw Xu Zhaojie, he originally wanted to report something immediately.
However, when his eyes saw Xiang Zeng beside him, he swallowed back the words he had spoken, and his gaze towards Xiang Zeng became hesitant to speak.
Seeing him like this, Xiang Zeng still didn't understand what Qian Huwei's command meant, so he bowed his hands to Xu Zhaojie and was about to say goodbye and leave.
But at this moment, Xu Zhaojie said: "Mr. Xiang, please stay!" After saying this, Xu Zhaojie said to Liu Shuxin: "Mr. Xiang is a person whom I can trust. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. No need to Any taboos or concealments..." Liu Shuxin glanced at Xiang Zengqi again, his expression still extremely calm. He said in a loud voice: "Report to the Marquis, according to the reports from the spies in Tanzhou City, the enemy has taken the bait!" Hearing what Liu Shuxin said, Xu Zhaojie was overjoyed and hurried to the sand table. Looking at the coordinates on the sand table, his expression was full of determination to win. thoughts!
Just now, Xu Zhaojie told Yang Zhen and Cai Qiang that the Fourth Army of the Fengwu Army stationed in Anqing was a ragtag group of people who were weak and vulnerable!
But that just gave Yang Zhen and Cai Qiang some more confidence. Xu Zhaojie will never forget it in his life. When he fought with the Fengwu Army in Henan, he had everything prepared and wanted to continue fighting with the Fengwu Army. !
However, he never expected that Zhang Meng led the Fourth Army to capture Anqing like a divine force descending from heaven, cutting off his retreat and forcing him to cut off his men and abandon his chariots to protect his troops. He only took a few personal guards with him in a very embarrassed manner. Fleeed back to Huainan.
This incident can be said to be an eternal pain in Xu Zhaojie's heart. Although Xu Zhaojie has deliberately not let himself recall this incident, the past is still vivid in his mind, so that sometimes when Xu Zhaojie goes to bed at night, he will think of the embarrassing situation he once had. Although he said it with disdain, he still had some fears about Zhang Meng and the Fourth Army... ····Although Xu Zhaojie sent most of the main force of his Zhennan Army around Anqing and pretended to counterattack Anqing, it was just a trick to confuse the Fengwu Army!
The Fourth Army has sufficient troops in Anqing and has the advantage of the city. Therefore, although he emotionally wants to take back Anqing, the place where he started, Xu Zhaojie also understands in his heart that the time to counterattack Anqing has not yet come!
And as the saying goes, you have to pick the weak persimmon, Xu Zhaojie's target was Jing Chu from the beginning! Xu Zhaojie has already investigated clearly. Although the Jingchu Army has now been renamed the Fifth Army of the Fengwu Army, the resources that the Fengwu Army has invested in the Jingchu Army are very limited. It can even be said to be a drop in the bucket, and it has not greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Jingchu Army!
This also led to the fact that although the Jingchu Army changed its name to the Fifth Army of the Fengwu Army, in fact, it still changed the soup without changing the medicine. It was still the same old team as the Jingchu Army!
Xu Zhaojie can be said to be very confident in dealing with this group of Jingchu troops. In his eyes, these people are just traitors!
However, to be cautious, he still used a little trick! Now is the time when the fish takes the bait, and Xu Zhaojie is ready to complete this fatal harvest!
Although this group of people is still the old foundation of the Jingchu Army and has not changed much, in name they are already the Fengwu Army, and they have even been formed into a separate army by the Fengwu Army!
Therefore, Xu Zhaojie believes that when the news of his victory spreads, it will inspire the loyal people all over the world and let them see the dawn of victory, thus prompting them to stand up bravely and resist Ye Mingsheng's tyranny with swords. ··············································· ·············································Luoan , Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu intertwined their fingers in a courtyard in Yongpingfang, Xicheng District, sitting under the jujube tree in the courtyard, enjoying the rare tranquility in summer.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar furnishings in the courtyard, Ye Mingsheng was both proud and a little sad! Although he only lived here for less than a year, this courtyard still left him with many wonderful memories!
At that time, I was just the commander of the imperial army. Although I brought back some money from the palace, I didn't dare to spend the money randomly because I had to serve as an official and give gifts!
At that time, I lived alone in the main house. Ye Tie, Ye Dong, and Ye Kui originally lived in the east wing, but because of Pei Zhixiu's appearance, they vacated the east wing for Pei Zhixiu, and they all I moved to the west wing!
Looking back now, it was indeed a bit crowded, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. After all, the housing prices in Luoan were indeed very high!
I heard that after he was transferred to Liaoyang, the landlord rented the yard to an official from the Ministry of Works. However, during the Luo'an Incident, the official from the Ministry of Works was implicated and his whole family was massacred.
Seeing the chaos in Luoan, the landlord and his family also went to the countryside to seek refuge. They have not come back until now, and they don’t know what is going on now... Leaning in Ye Mingsheng's arms, Pei Zhixiu looked at the east wing of the yard with a complicated expression, and then whispered to Ye Mingsheng:
"Ms. sir, I want to stay here for one more night tonight!" Ye Mingsheng was a little hesitant when he heard this. Although the conditions of this small courtyard were very good in the past, but looking at it today, the conditions are still very good. It’s a little too crude!
And now Pei Zhixiu is pregnant and has a special body. Seeing Ye Mingsheng not speaking, Pei Zhixiu softly persuaded: "My husband is just staying for one night, nothing will happen! I stayed here for so many days back then." !" Hearing what Pei Zhixiu said, Ye Mingsheng could only shake his head fondly, and then warned: "Then we can only stay for one night! We will go back to the house tomorrow!"
"Well!" Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu were sleeping together in the east wing late at night. Pei Zhixiu seemed to have remembered something. After some hesitation, he mustered up the courage to speak playfully in Ye Mingsheng's ear: "Mr., back then, The night you went to see Sister Murong, General Ye Tie told you something bad about me..."
