Chapter 360: Pit you openly

"Move to Ulzhou?" Zhang Jia was startled and almost jumped up.

Although Ulzhou is now a white land, it faces Lu Long's Yanzhou, and Lu Long's army does not want the barren land of Ulzhou now, but it does not mean that they will tolerate the emergence of a hostile army in this place, if this army is allowed to take root in Ulzhou, it will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to Yanzhou.

If Zhang Jia moves to Ulzhou, he will undoubtedly face the blow of Lu Longjun, and thus be in a difficult situation. Even if the main force of Lu Long's army is now gathered in the area of Zhuozhou, the troops stationed in Yanzhou are not something that Zhang Jia can fight against now.

"Yes, move to Ulju!" Xu Ziyuan's tone was firm and authentic, and he took out a letter of appointment covered with the three seals of the Grand Commander of the Tang Dynasty's Northern March, the Wuwei Jiedu Envoy, and the General Qianniuwei from the salute he carried with him, and spread it in front of Zhang Jia.

"If you move to Ulzhou, then you will be the commander of the army under the account of the Grand Governor of the Northland March. This position, in Wuwei Festival Town, is only obtained by You Yong. General Zhang, you can use this position to supervise Ulzhou, Yunzhou, and Shuozhou. Xu Ziyuan said with a smile.

Zhang Jia stared intently at the letter of appointment in front of him, for him, of course, this is a huge piece of fat, after taking this letter of appointment, he will become one of the top martial artists in the Tang Dynasty, supervising the three states, which is almost equivalent to making him a de facto festival. Although it is said that these three states, two states are almost white, and the only slightly better Shuozhou is still controlled by Li Cunzhong.

But there is no doubt that this power of attorney signed by Li Ze is of legal significance and is genuine and valid. Regardless of the facts, for him Zhang Jia personally, he will have a de facto qualitative leap.

His hand trembled, but he didn't reach for a long time.

"General Zhang, with all due respect, you stay in Yunzhou, although you can survive for the time being, but the prospects are really not good." Xu Ziyuan continued to tempt him. "Let's not mention that Peng Fang, who is Yiwu, is eyeing these hands of you, it is Li Cunzhong, does he have good intentions towards you? Don't forget, Li Cunzhong himself is a Turk, and the main cavalry under your command is also composed of Turks. Li Cunzhong's identity has a huge temptation for them, and now you can still control the army, but as time goes by, when you can't give them the most basic treatment, and when you can't guarantee the most basic living conditions for their families, I'm afraid that Li Cunzhong beckons, and these people will run away, right? Without these 3,000 Turkic cavalry, would you still be a heavenly army? ”

Zhang Jia took a deep breath, and finally slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed the letter of appointment in his hand.

"If I move to Ulzhou, how can I gain a foothold?"

Seeing that Zhang Jia finally accepted the letter of appointment, Xu Ziyuan also had a smile on his face. Dipping his hand in some tea and drawing a few strokes on the desk, Xu Ziyuan said: "General Zhang, don't forget, if you move to Ulzhou, you will become a barrier for Daizhou." ”

Zhang Jia said with some indignation: "That's right, Li Cunzhong bullied me so much, do I still have to guard the gate for him?" ”

"No, you're not guarding the gate for him, you're sharing the pressure for the marshal." Xu Ziyuan said: "As long as you stand in Ulzhou, Lu Longjun must face up to your existence, this is where your value lies, and it is also the reason why the marshal will grant you such an important position." General Zhang, once you succeed, with this credit, the land of Sanzhou, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get it? And at that time, why should Li Cunzhong, who is cowering behind you, compete with you for Shuozhou? ”

Zhang Jia sighed: "Li'er is this Li'er, but how can I stand on my feet?" If you can't go out in the first step, why will you come later. ”

"Now there are more than 10,000 soldiers under General Zhang's command who can fight, plus their families, and the subordinates you have gathered in Yunzhou, it is about between 30,000 and 50,000, and all this force has been moved to Ulzhou, and it is more than enough to hold it for the time being. Your problem is that you are under-equipped and there is a shortage of food. So you can't do anything, can you? Xu Ziyuan asked.

"Exactly!"

"Wu Wei will solve some of your needs!" Xu Ziyuan said: "When I came, the governor of Dingzhou, Cao Xin and Cao Dudu, who was fighting in Yizhou, had already prepared some armor, grain and grass for you, as long as you moved to Ulzhou, these things will be handed over to you to alleviate your temporary danger." ”

Zhang Jia's face showed joy.

"After you move to Ulzhou, I will also go to other places in Hedong, whether it is Li Cunzhong or Han Qi, I will get some support from them for you, they will not give them armor and armaments, but they will always give some food." Xu Zi walked from afar.

"They wish I was done sooner, so how could they give me food and grass?" Zhang Jia shook his head and said.

"You'd be wrong to think so." Xu Ziyuan said with a smile: "First of all, they are still officials of the Tang Dynasty, or subordinates of the general manager of the march in the north, our marshal will first give them orders from above the official face, let them raise grain and grass for you, and use it for you to recruit the thief Zhang Zhongwu, whether it is for the sake of the overall situation, or for the sake of reputation, more or less I am afraid that they have to take out some, otherwise not to mention that our marshal does not agree, even the court will not agree, what did Gao Biao leave them for?" At such a juncture, if they evil the court and the emperor, will they still be able to gain the trust of the emperor and the court in the future? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ziyuan couldn't help laughing. Zhang Hui and the festival marshal Li Ze's open-minded conspiracy really grasped the weakness of Han Qi and Li Cunzhong.

Han Qi and Li Cunzhong are Gao Biao left for the emperor to be used as the future to contain Li Ze's backhand, in Gao Biao's view, Li Ze will inevitably destroy Zhang Zhongwu to dominate the north, if there is not enough containment force, then Li Ze will be a monopoly, for this reason, he did not hesitate to in the final plan, hit the disobedient Ke Lan army, Xinzhou army, Tianbing army, Gao Biao's purpose, originally let Li Ze in the battle with Zhang Zhongwu without taking care of Hedong, then Li Cunzhong and Han Qi joined forces, there is a great possibility to annex these three armies, Thus integrating Hedong.

There is no doubt that if according to Gao Biao's plan, the integrated Hedong will be headed by Han Qi, and Li Cunzhong will not be able to control Hedong because of his original identity and strength, not to mention that Gao Biao also installed the Daizhou Army under Li Cunzhong's command, and the remnants of the Hengye Army were used to deal with Han Qi?

But Gao Biao couldn't explain this in his will, he could only hope that the court and the emperor could appreciate his hard work.

It is precisely because of this insight that Li Ze will not hesitate to reach out and pull the Heavenly Soldiers.

Now the Heavenly Soldiers disregarded their own safety and brazenly moved to Ulzhou to face the Lu Long Army of Yanzhou, thinking that Wuwei was a countermeasure. As soon as this hand came out, Han Qi and Li Cunzhong's behavior of giving up Ulzhou and other places and reserving their strength within the Yanmen Pass was highlighted, which made them look extremely embarrassed.

At this time, Li Ze ordered them to provide grain and grass to Zhang Jia, that is, they were roasted on the fire.

If you don't give it, you are ignoring the overall situation, and even being disgusting, ignoring the righteousness of the court, intending to annex your colleagues and cut off one side of the drama. How different is this kind of behavior from Zhang Zhongwu in the eyes of the imperial court and the emperor?

Given, once Zhang Jia's Heavenly Soldiers Army gain a foothold in Ulzhou, it will inevitably sit big, and the integration of Hedong will become a big joke.

It's a dilemma.

And Li Ze estimated that in the end, I was afraid that they would still give it, of course, the number is not easy to say, but for the current Heavenly Army, as long as there is it, it is good, as long as there is, Zhang Jia will be able to stabilize the morale of the army. With support from the rear, with support from Wuwei, their hopes of gaining a foothold in Ulju were greatly increased.

The Heavenly Soldiers have never had their own fixed territory, and wherever they go, they are considered a guest army, and now they suddenly have a territory of their own, and Li Ze gave them Ulzhou, Yunzhou, and Shuozhou with a stroke of his pen, not only for Zhang Jia, but also for those generals and officials under Zhang Jia's command.

Such a large piece of land requires countless officials, and of course they can also benefit from it. Once they defeat Zhang Zhongwu, they will be rewarded as the victors.

Under Xu Ziyuan's words, Zhang Jia finally understood some of these ways, of course, Xu Ziyuan only said seven points, and the rest depends on whether Zhang Jia can understand it himself, but he only needs to let Zhang Jia understand that although he will take a lot of risks when moving to Ulzhou, compared with the possible gains, these risks are completely worth it.

People die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years.

Zhang Jia, who has figured out the truth here, has no reason not to fight.

"General Zhang, with the full support of all sides, I think you can stand firm." Xu Ziyuan said: "But then, it still depends on yourself." Tens of thousands of people have to be fed, and you can't always count on outside assistance, and in Ulju, you need to fight against Lu Longjun while actively developing military cantonments and civilian cantonments for long-term planning. In this regard, we Wuwei are very experienced, and when the time comes, we will naturally send people to help you. In a year at most, you'll have a brand new Ulju. When we defeat Zhang Zhongwu once and for all, you will get a huge reward that you can't imagine. ”

Li Ze is so worried about hard work, naturally he is not morally noble and wants to save the heavenly soldiers once, Zhang Jia also knows this. In addition to the need to contain Lu Long's army, Li Ze naturally wanted to hold himself in his hands, but in Zhang Jia's opinion, as long as he firmly held the military power, it was enough to protect his interests.

Xu Ziyuan is also smiling, as long as the personnel of Wuwei Yixing Society can enter Zhang Jia's command openly, then what will be the situation in the future, I have to say two things! Zhang Jia needs to keep fighting the Lulong people, his army will continue to lose, and if there are losses, there will naturally be replenishment, but the people who come in will eventually listen to it, it depends on two words.

"General Zhang, the marshal can only help you take the first step, if you want to get more in the future, you have to exchange it for war merits." He said with a big smile.
