The Pizhou Army did not seem to get any advantage in this alliance, and even sent troops to help the Huai Army defeat Xi Chu and seize territory, which was a bit stupid.
But in fact, the Pizhou Army received no less benefits than the Huai Army.
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, whose historical capital was Pengcheng, Xuzhou, would definitely go north to attack Xuzhou first. Once Xiang Yu occupied Xuzhou, the Pizhou army would be in dire straits.
Chen Gong didn't have that much confidence in Lu Bu, especially against the overlord Xiang Yu. Lu Bu was completely defeated in every aspect.
The value of force is inferior, the ability to command troops is inferior, and the character is far inferior.
It can be said that the threat of the Western Chu Army to the Huai Army is not that great, but it has the advantage of crushing the Pizhou Army.
The Western Chu army can be eliminated in advance.
Pizhou was relieved of the disaster and could focus all its attention on conquering Xuzhou.
After agreeing on the time for dispatching troops and other details.
Chen Gong took Cao Xing and left.
Wang Jing did not stay in Ancheng for too long. After rewarding meritorious generals and many soldiers, he appointed Li Shanchang as acting magistrate of Ancheng Prefecture and Suqian Prefecture. Manage civil affairs.
Just like the treatment Wang Guangyang received when he defected to the Huai Army, he was not given a specific official title and status, but was allowed to handle the government affairs of the two governments as a temporary dispatcher.
As long as the government affairs of the two governments are sorted out, like Wang Guangyang, he can be directly transferred to the central Ministry of Government Affairs and become an important person in charge of civil affairs.
Except for Li Shanchang,
Wang Jing also ordered that troops and horses garrisoned in the northern part of Suining begin to be transferred to Ancheng.
In other words, the border town to the north of the Huai Army changed from Suining to Ancheng. The seven counties of Anseong are Anseong Prefecture. Wang Maozhang is still the guarding general.
besides.
The camp for the Western Expedition Army began to be formed. There were 600,000 troops for the Western Expedition, including 100,000 naval troops and 100,000 infantry and cavalry troops for the North Route Army, with Suining as the North Route Camp.
The remaining 400,000 troops camped at East Lake.
Orders were sent back to Sihong one after another, causing the civil and military officials who had just returned from the imperial examination to become busy again.
A large amount of grain, grass and baggage, as well as a large number of soldiers and horses, began to be mobilized.
These movements.
This alerted many spies lurking in Sihong territory. These spies quickly spread the news of the Huai army's movements and the news of Nan Yan's destruction back to their respective forces.
Nanyan was originally a small force, it sounded like a dynasty, but in fact it was not as famous as Yang Xingmi and Du Fuwei.
Whether it is the Ming army in Jinling or Liu Yu in Danyang.
It’s still Chen Baxian from Liuhe.
There is no surprise that the Huai army defeated Nan Yan. If the Huai army attacked Nan Yan and was defeated, it would shock them.
However, after the Huai army defeated Nan Yan, they began to mobilize troops again, which made them a little surprised.
Jinling, Danyang, Liuhe, and even Xiao Daocheng, who occupied Changzhou, summoned their advisers and generals to speculate on the Huai army's purpose.
The Huai army dominated the Jianghuai area, and in terms of terrain, it overwhelmed the Jiangnan area.
Many princes in the south of the Yangtze River are naturally very concerned about the movements of the Huai army.
The Huai Army's heritage may not seem as rich as that of the Ming Dynasty or Soochow, but its continuous growth and expansion, and the Huai Army's millions of soldiers are enough to attract the attention of all forces.
Every move can affect the situation in the surrounding areas. This kind of power is quickly approaching the level where Daming is, and he is an absolute powerhouse.
…
Sihong, within the palace.
In various courtyards, there are weeping willow branches and greenery, and flowers of various colors are in bud. Peach trees with unique shapes are full of peach blossoms and are distributed on both sides of the courtyard roads.
The road is paved with green bricks and surrounded by lush grass.
On a soft grassland, covered with brocade, I saw a small figure crawling around on the brocade-paved grass. Surrounded by beautiful palace maids dressed in light gauze.
Next to them were two stunning beauties with celestial looks and refined temperament.
One of them had soft eyebrows and his eyes were staring closely at the little figure in front of him, full of tenderness and motherhood.
"Princess, there is news from outside that the king went north to defeat Nanyan and captured all his territory. He is on his way to the army and will return home soon!"
Si Jing, the general manager of the palace, said softly.
Da Qiao retracted her gaze and smiled. At this moment, her smile even surpassed the blooming flowers around her. She was a real person more beautiful than flowers.
"The king has returned with a great victory. This is a happy event! Please go down and prepare the palace..."
Da Qiao smiled.
Si Jing immediately responded. Seeing that Da Qiao was mostly focused on the small figure in front of her, she stood up and left.
Wait until she leaves.
A pretty palace maid came over quietly and told other news about the king's march north to attack Nanyan, which was more detailed than what Si Jing said.
Among them was the king's visit to a woman at Anseong Palace...
When he returned from the last southern expedition, the king brought back Xiao Yun, the famous Queen Xiao.
This time I went north and brought back another woman.
"elder sister……"
Xiao Qiao listened, and although she knew what was appropriate, there was still a trace of dissatisfaction on her pretty face. She couldn't help but look at her sister.
"Who is the other party?"
Da Qiao frowned slightly and asked.
"My servant only found out that the woman's name is Li Zu'e. As for other information, I don't know!"
The palace maid reported softly.
She is the woman sent to the palace by the Qiao family. She is also a member of the Qiao family. She is a close confidant of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. She is also responsible for contacting the Qiao family and asking for some information for Da Qiao.
"Li Zu'e...it turns out to be her!"
Da Qiao thought for a moment and found the origin of the other party from his memory.
As the head wife of King Huai, since her husband intends to strive for world supremacy, she naturally needs to know the enemies her husband will face.
Therefore, Da Qiao has read all kinds of historical books and miscellaneous notes in his spare time.
As a woman, she will naturally pay more attention to famous women in history, so when she hears the name, she knows the origin of the other person.
"Sister, do you know the identity of this woman?"
Xiao Qiao asked.
"Well, she is the Queen of Northern Qi, and she is also a poor person!"
Da Qiao looked calm.
No anger or dissatisfaction was shown due to this.
As the royal concubine of King Huai, she is firmly bound to the Huai army and Wang Jing. The stronger the Huai army becomes, the benefits will follow for her and the Qiao clan.
Moreover, she now has a son, her eldest son.
In the future, her son will be the heir to Huaijun's foundation.
As early as when Xiao Yun entered the mansion.
She was already mentally prepared. The emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, including the queen, the noble concubine, the fourth concubine, Zhaoyi... and there would be more concubines who would enter the palace in the future.
As long as her status as the head wife is not shaken, she still has the status of the eldest son.
She can accept it calmly.
Xiao Qiao didn't have such a good attitude, but seeing her sister's calm expression, she calmed down.
"By the way, I heard that the Bu family is also thinking of sending Master Bu to the palace. Does sister know this news?"
Xiao Qiao asked.
