Chapter 177: The Discussion of Peace Talks
Shi Yi, Deng Jingshan, and Wang Feng stood at the gate of the camp, welcoming the arrival of a carriage.
Dozens of elite cavalrymen escorted a carriage, just by looking at the frame of these three people, you can know that the identity of the person who came is not trivial.
The carriage stopped, the curtain opened, and a smiling face appeared in front of the three of them.
"Fei Junshi!" Shi Yi, Deng Jingshan bowed, and Wang Feng also hugged his fists.
"The three of you are so polite." The man who was called Fei Junshi got out of the carriage with the support of the coachman and returned the salute with a smile.
The three of Shi Yi called Fei Junshi are Fei Zhong, the first think tank under Zhang Zhongwu, the envoy of Lu Longjiedu, and the official commander of the military division. The military advisor Zhonglang will be the official position of the imperial court, but it is not given to him by Zhang Zhongwu indiscriminately. When Gongsun Changming was there, Fei Zhong could only condescend to the second seat, but at that time, Gongsun Changming was Zhang Zhongwu's personal adviser and did not accept the official position of the imperial court.
This person is also the biggest thinker and driving force behind Zhang Zhongwu's rebellion, and his family is a well-known family under Lu Long's rule. The influence is huge.
Fei Zhong had been on the Hedong front with Zhang Zhongwu before, but the three of them did not expect that Zhang Zhongwu would send Fei Zhong over, which shows how much Zhang Zhongwu attaches importance to the battle situation in Shenzhou.
"The marshal inflicted a heavy blow on Gao Biao's Hengye Army in the Sanggan River, and the Hengye Army will no longer have combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and Gao Biao was forced to retreat to Daizhou, relying on the terrain of Yanmen Pass to regain a firm foothold, and the battle situation was stalemate for a while." After everyone sat down, Fei Zhong didn't talk nonsense, and directly talked about the current situation.
Of course, all three people present already knew this information. The war against Hedong cannot be achieved overnight, everyone knows it, the original strategy is to quickly take Chengde, and then stab under the weakness of Hedong, but now this plan has gone bankrupt, and they can't advance an inch in Shenzhou.
Shi Yi lowered his head in some shame.
"It's all the general's fault." He whispered, "I've let the festival commander down."
Wang Feng was a little dissatisfied, and snorted lowly, Shi Yi said this, that was to sweep him in, but can it be said that he didn't do his best? He's done his best. If it weren't for Shi Yi's chaos and killing Li Che, it would have been a different scene now.
"General Shi doesn't have to blame himself, the matter of capturing Li Che alive is just our wishful thinking, tens of thousands of troops are fighting, and it is extremely difficult to capture the opponent's commander alive. Li Che's death is really not a crime of war, we would have pinned our hopes on Henghai, but Henghai is too disappointing." Fei Zhong sighed.
Everyone nodded their heads.
Henghai's main force went to fight an empty Yizhou, and the whole army was wiped out, and it also made people counterattack into Texas, when the three of them received this information, they almost couldn't believe their ears.
"What the hell is that Li Ze?" Fei Zhong looked at the three of them with great interest, "This person's methods in Texas are really spicy, although this person has ruined the matter of the Jieshuai, but the Jieshuai is extremely appreciative of this person, and the Jieshuai once talked about this matter to me, saying that if it is to get along with each other, he will definitely deal with it like this."
"This person we've never heard of before. It's like a person who suddenly pops out of a rock. We are already investigating, and at the same time, we also let people go to Henghai, this person has made Henghai suffer a big loss, and I think they will spare no effort to collect information about this person." Shi Yi shook his head and said. We really can't imagine why Chengde is hiding such a strong army in Yizhou under such a critical situation in the Shenzhou war, Fei Junshi, is it possible that this is another ploy of Mr. Gongsun?"
Gongsun Changming has been in Lulong for seven or eight years, and these Lulong generals admire Gongsun Changming from the bottom of their hearts. Even Fei Zhong didn't show any anger when he heard Shi Yi praise Gongsun Changming so much, but smiled and said: "Although Mr. Gongsun is wise, he is a person after all, not an immortal, if he can really calculate such a thing, how can he let Li Che's entire army in Hejian Mansion be wiped out?"
Shi Yi nodded and said, "What Master Fei said is true, and this is what I can't figure out. It can be said that the birth of this person completely undermined our overall strategy. Fei Junshi, in this battle, there are too many unexpected things, first I obviously let Li Che go, but Li Che died in vain, and then this Li Ze suddenly jumped out, completely destroying our second step plan. Tell me, is this providential?"
Speaking of providence, several people in the room changed color slightly. The meaning of Shi Yi's words is a little deep, Zhang Zhongwu decided to launch a rebellion at the beginning, it was because he saw that the Tang Dynasty is now divided, it is difficult to gather a strong force, and the envoys of the festival are divided into their own affairs, the Tang Dynasty is still a country in name, but in fact, it has long been divided into countless countries within a country.
"It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!" Fei Zhong, who was one of the formulators of the entire battle plan, smiled lightly: "General Shi doesn't have to be discouraged, if he wants to do great things, how can there be a smooth reason?" Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not gone through a lot of hardships to finally stand on the highest point and be proud of the world. What's more, although this accident made us suffer a small setback, it was not damaged in the slightest in terms of strength. It is true that we did not achieve our strategic intentions, but in terms of tactics, we still succeeded, the main force of the Chengde army lost half of Thailand, and the commander almost completely annihilated Gao Yu's Hengye army at the Sanggan River, and the balance of strength in the north has actually reversed. It's just that our plan to take advantage of it failed, and we can only do it one step at a time in the future. That's not a bad thing. This incident has taught us that we still have to be down-to-earth in everything, and we don't want to try to cut corners."
"Master Fei is right." Shi Yi and Deng Jingshan both nodded again and again.
Lu Long Jiedu is almost a standout in the north, over the years, clever or good, the strength far exceeds others, under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou, Mozhou, Zhuozhou, Youzhou, Danzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Pingzhou, Yingzhou and other places, under the jurisdiction of millions of people. And the people in these places are much poorer than Chengde and other places, under the command of Zhang Zhongwu, they fight with the Khitan every year, and the martial style is very strong, so brave and ruthless, extremely fierce. If you really want to mobilize and say that you will bring 100,000 armor, it is not an exaggeration. It was the economic problems that prevented Lu Long from organizing such a large number of troops. This is also the reason why Zhang Zhongwu covets Chengde.
When it comes to wealth, even Hedong can't be compared with Chengde.
If Li Anguo knew that it was precisely because he had raised the people for more than ten years that he had raised Chengde, a very thin sheep, to be fat and strong, so that Zhang Zhongwu coveted him, he regarded him as the first target, I don't know if he would be so angry that he vomited blood.
"The battle of the Deep State can't be fought for the time being." Fei Zhong looked at the three of them: "Jieshuai and I have underestimated Chengde's war potential, and now that Chengde has stabilized his footing, if we continue to fight, it will become a stalemate, and for us, it is meaningless. Our main opponent is still Gao Biao, under Gao Biao's command, with 50,000 armor, and with the support of the imperial court, we must concentrate all our forces to defeat Gao Biao first, defeat Gao Biao, and the north will decide on its own."
For this result, Shi Yi and Deng Jingshan also expected it, in fact, when they got the defeat of the Heng Navy in Yizhou, they had already expected today's ending.
"Won't fight?" Wang Feng stared at Fei Zhong with wide eyes.
"If you don't fight, the marshal sent me here to negotiate peace with Li Anguo." Fei Zhong said with a smile.
"If we kill his only son, will he make peace with us?" Wang Feng shouted.
"Why can't we make peace?" Fei Zhong said indifferently: "We just don't want to waste our strength here in Li Anguo, Li Anguo also knows this, if we concentrate our strength, how can Chengde be a blow?" Now he's just a dead son, and if he really fights us, even he has to die."
"Isn't this raising tigers for trouble, and letting them return to the mountains?" Wang Fengdao.
"It's just a sick tiger." Fei Zhong smiled disdainfully: "We did underestimate him before, but that's all. Compared to Gao Yu, he is really not worth mentioning. If Lu Long wants to start a war on both sides, he must mobilize at least 50,000 soldiers, 100,000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of people, which will drag Lu Long down."
Speaking of this, Fei Zhong sighed: "The land under Lu Long's jurisdiction is mostly a bitter cold land, and it is still too poor."
"Concentrate on laying down Chengde first, don't you have everything?" Wang Feng insisted.
"Concentrate?" Fei Zhong glanced at Wang Feng and said, "We concentrate on fighting Chengde, will Gao Yu watch?" When the main force arrived in Chengde, Gao Yu's army entered Lulong, how to resist? On the contrary, if we fight Gao Piao, Li Anguo will definitely sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Wang Dashuai won't be unable to understand this truth, right?"
Wang Feng's face turned a little pale, of course he understood this truth. It's just that he knows better that if Lu Long withdraws his troops, Chengde will be relieved, and he will definitely spread this resentment on him. Thinking of the poisonous oath made by Cao Xin in front of the two armies, Wang Feng felt a tingling on his body.
When Cao Xin shot his nephew, he said that he wanted to avenge Wang Mingren by destroying his nine clans.
Don't look at Chengde as worthless in the eyes of Lu Longren, but for him Wang Feng, he is still a behemoth.
"Master Fei, if Lu Long withdraws his troops from Shenzhou, what will I do if I Zhenwu? Is Lu Long going to abandon me?" Thinking of this, he couldn't care about his face anymore and asked directly.
"Wang Dashuai was the first to be attached to our section commander, how could our section commander ignore it?" Fei Zhong said with a smile: "Wang Dashuai is too worried, we have our own arrangements. And we Lulong and its truce, Chengde is not easy, they have to face you, as well as the two towns of Henghai, I am afraid that they are also left and right, it would be good to protect themselves, where is there spare strength to attack you, besides, we will still station a force in Yingzhou, which can support you at any time."
