Chapter 309: Yang Mou
"Brother Zhang, this is all a conspiracy of the imperial court. The court just wants the two of us to meet each other, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, don't fall for the trick. β
Hearing that the imperial court appointed Zhang Yan as the envoy of the festival, Li Hanzhi, who was located in Heyang, immediately asked Zhang Yan to be called to explain the matter clearly and avoid a conflict between the two.
Zhang Yan nodded and said with a smile, "What the festival marshal said is that such an obvious discordant plan is used by the imperial court, which shows that this imperial court is not capable." β
"The imperial court takes itself too seriously, and it really thinks that this is still the previous imperial court." Li Hanzhi said with disdain, thought of something, and then looked at Zhang Yan, "Brother Zhang, there is something that you may need your help with." β
"Commander, please."
"This Heyang was seriously damaged by Sun Ru before, there is no food, Henan Mansion is different, so I hope that Brother Zhang can help more with food."
Zhang Yan was stunned when he heard this, his expression was a little unnatural, but thinking that Li Han's soldiers were strong and strong at this time, and he had Li Keyong's support, he didn't dare to refute, so he could only respond, "Please rest assured, when I go back this time, I will send someone to transport 10,000 stone of grain for my brother to alleviate the urgent need of the festival marshal." β
10,000 stones? Thinking that this bit of food can't even manage his tens of thousands of troops for a month, Li Hanzhi was a little unhappy, but thinking that it was not suitable to turn his face with Zhang Yan now, he didn't have a seizure, and it was a big deal to find an excuse to urge him to ask for food later, and he didn't believe that the other party wouldn't give it.
"Then for my brother, on behalf of these tens of thousands of soldiers, thank you for my brother's support." Li Hanzhi laughed and said, "Big brother, go, I have specially prepared good wine and food for my brother, and today our two brothers must not get drunk and not return!" β

"General, obviously you are the festival envoy appointed by the imperial court, and his Li Hanzhi's festival envoy was only appointed by Li Keyong, which is not right. . .
Syllable!
The man who spoke just now covered his left cheek, with blood on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhang Yan incredulously, "Will... Army... β
"This is in Li Hanzhi's territory, if you want to die, don't pull this mansion Yin." Zhang Yan said coldly.
"Yes, General!" The beaten general nodded hurriedly.
Zhang Yan looked at Heyang City in the distance, his expression grim.
Don't look at Li Hanzhi calling him a brother and a brother, but has the other party really regarded him as a brother? No food in Ha Duong?
But he didn't dare to turn his face with the other party.
Li Hanzhi has some friendship with Li Keyong, so this time Li Hanzhi sent An Jinjun to help him take Heyang City, and directly appointed Li Hanzhi as the envoy of Heyang Festival.
In addition to Li Ke using this foreign aid, Li Hanzhi's own strength is also stronger than him.
He only had more than 10,000 troops, while Li Hanzhi had 30,000, and Li Keyong also provided him with war horses to form a cavalry of 3,000 people.
Don't look at the fact that he has more than 10,000 troops, in fact, he doesn't even have a thousand cavalry. Even if the war horse ridden by Li Hanzhi's 3,000 cavalry was not a good war horse, it was still stronger than his cavalry of less than 1,000 people.
He couldn't beat Li Hanzhi, so he could only endure Li Hanzhi's unreasonable demands.
Fortunately, he now has Henan Mansion, don't look at it as just a prefecture, but there are twenty counties, which is comparable to two or three prefectures. He managed Henan Mansion well, and then recaptured Ruzhou from Qin Zongquan's rebels, and his strength was not necessarily weaker than Li Hanzhi's.
But when he rushed back to Luoyang, there was bad news.
Chang Xingru, the defense envoy of Shaanzhou, suddenly sent troops to attack him, and also plundered five counties including Mianchi.
This caught Zhang Yan off guard, how did this Chang Xingru jump out. Thinking of the relationship between the other party and the imperial court, he knew that there was probably the instruction of the imperial court behind this, otherwise Chang Xingru would not be so bold.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan sent someone to Chang'an with tribute to calm the anger of the imperial court first.
As for Chang Xingru, Zhang Yan also tried not to conflict with the other party.

Jingnan, Gangneung Province.
The people of Gangneung Province had thought that after Zhao Deyu's rebels were eliminated, Jiangling Province would be able to restore peace.
But who would have thought that as soon as Zhao Deyu's side was eliminated, the imperial court announced that Zhang Gui was rebellious, and appointed Guo Yu, the assassin of Guizhou, as the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, and led the armies of Jingnan states to crusade against Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui was naturally unwilling to sit still, and even threatened to defect to Qin Zongquan at one point, but under the attack of the 30,000 coalition troops led by Guo Yu, Zhang Gui was defeated in Qingjiang.
In desperation, Zhang Gui could only lead the remnants to retreat to Jiangling.
However, at this time, Guo Yu announced that as long as the defenders in the city were willing to lay down their arms and surrender, they would promise that they would not blame the past, which made the Jiangling Mansion army very moved.
At this time, Zhang Gui really regretted it, why did he have the idea of preserving his strength and not assist the imperial army to attack Zhao Deyu, otherwise he would not have ended up like this.
At this point, even if he regretted it, it was useless.
Zhang Gui obviously didn't want to fail like this, so he sent an envoy to beg Guo Yu to surrender, expressing his willingness to withdraw from Jiangling, as long as the other party spared his life.
At this time, Guo Yu knew that if he didn't take Zhang Gui's head and dedicate it to the imperial court, he would be the next one to die in the imperial court.
He didn't know that the imperial court appointed himself as the envoy of the festival so that he could deal with Zhang Gui, but he knew that he knew, but he still did it obediently.
It's very simple, if he doesn't agree, Lei Man, Pan Zhang and others will definitely be willing, and he naturally won't give this opportunity to others.
And Zhang Gui is also incompetent, Jingnan is good, he was tossed like this, and he was beaten by Zhao Dejun and almost lost Jiangling Mansion. If such a person serves as a festival envoy again, for the people of Jingnan, it is a sin.
Seeing that there was no chance of victory, the defenders of the city killed Zhang Gui and surrendered the city. Zhang Gui didn't expect that he didn't die at the hands of the enemy in the end, but died at his own hands.
This is also the norm in this troubled era, and only those who know the times can achieve long-term success.

Walking into Jiangling Mansion, Guo Yu didn't dare to imagine that the ruined city in front of him was actually Jiangling Mansion.
You must know that Gangneung Mansion can become a mansion, not because the emperor has been here, but because of the large population, it has been upgraded to a mansion. But looking at the situation in front of you, I'm afraid that this Jiangling Mansion doesn't even have 50,000 people, is this still the most prosperous Jiangling Mansion in Jingnan?
It's not as good as returning to the state.
"Marshal, General Lei is leading his army away." Xu Cun came to Guo Yu and reported.
"Jieshuai, this Xu Cun simply doesn't take Jieshuai in his eyes, it's just hateful!" Someone next to him was angry and stood up and accused.
"Jie Shuai, it is not appropriate to have a bad relationship with Lei Man at this time. Lei Man occupies Lizhou and Langzhou, with more than 10,000 soldiers, and his strength should not be underestimated.
The commander had just taken Jiangling Mansion, and it was not a wise choice to have a bad relationship with Lei Man at this time. Now that the number of people in Gangneung Province has decreased sharply and the fields are barren, the top priority of the festival commander is to collect the displaced people and restore the previous prosperity of Gangneung Province.
With Jiangling Mansion, in a few years, the strength of the Jieshuai will be greatly improved, and at that time the Jieshuai will be qualified to unify Jingnan! He Yin, a think tank next to him, hurriedly persuaded.
Guo Yu nodded, he naturally knew that this was not the time to make a big move. You must know that at this time, he only has the base camp of Guizhou and the dilapidated Jiangling Mansion in front of him, and it is undoubtedly looking for death at this time.
In addition to the internal instability in Jingnan, the army of the imperial court is stationed in Shannan Dongdao, and the three forbidden armies, any one of them, can't be defeated by themselves, so it's better to be honest at the moment. Zhang Gui was dishonest, so he was picked up by the imperial court with his own hands.
"What the gentleman said is very true. Come on, send a quarter of the property found from Zhang Gui's mansion to Lei Tingshi! β
