"Jie Shuai, what now? The imperial court has already captured most of the territory of the puppet Liang, and at present, only some prefectures and counties of Xuanwu and Zhongwu are left in the puppet Liang.

If we continue to occupy Yuezhou and Quzhou... ”

After the news of the latest situation in the Central Plains came, Qian Biao, who was far away in Hangzhou, was a little impatient, and as for the reason, it was not precisely he who forcibly occupied Yuezhou and Quzhou.

"What? Can't you let Ben Shuai give up these two states? The imperial court has not yet pacified Zhu Wen? Even if Zhu Wen is pacified, isn't there still Huainan Yang Xingmi? Afraid of what?

Can you spit out the meat you eat? "Qian Biao didn't have a good airway.

Let him succumb at this time, he asserted that he would not do it.

These are two states, and Yuezhou is also the richest and most populous state in the entire Zhendong Army.

Let him get out of Yuezhou, it's no different from cutting meat from him.

"Jie Shuai, the lower officials are just worried about Yang Xingmi!" Cheng Ji worried, "Yang Xingmi is ambitious, although the attack on Zhu Wen failed, but he sits on the eight states of Huainan and occupies Xuanzhou, which is the great enemy of Jieshuai."

If Yang Xingmi sent troops under the pretext that Jieshuai occupied Yue and Quzhou, there was the Zhendong Army in the south and the Huainan Army in the north, how would Jieshuai deal with it at that time?

The imperial court obviously wants to cut down the feudal towns, and it will definitely sit back and watch the various feudal towns fight, and then defeat the final victorious feudal town.

Zhu Wen is an example.

After the imperial court put down the Zhuwen rebellion, the eight towns in the Central Plains (Heyang, Xuanwu, Yihua, Zhongwu, Wuning, Tianping, Taining, and Weibo) would be effectively controlled by the imperial court.

I hope that the festival will think twice! Cheng Ji's expression was sad, and he almost knelt on the ground.

I have to say that Cheng Ji's vision is really ruthless, and he actually saw Li Ye's intentions.

The imperial court pacified the feudal towns one by one, and the resistance was great, and even the feudal towns might unite against the imperial court. Therefore, the various feudal towns were allowed to annex each other, and the imperial court was the fisherman, and the one who survived the annexation of the feudal towns was the fish or mussel that won.

Of course, there is also a problem in the middle, that is, it is very likely that the imperial court will not succeed in raising tigers, and this time Zhu Wen almost became the tiger that turned over, but unfortunately it was a little worse.

According to the current situation, the chance of Zhu Wen turning over is very small.

Therefore, Cheng Ji is worried that if he only faces Huainan Yang Xingmi, he may not have so much pressure. But they not only have to face Yang Xingmi, but also the Zhendong army.

"It's not okay to be a marshal, Yuezhou and other places are hard work, if you take the initiative to give up at this time, it will make the court feel that the marshal is weak and can be bullied." Luo Yin hurriedly persuaded.

"Luo Yin, are you trying to harm the handsome?" Cheng Ji pointed at Luo Yin and scolded angrily.

"Who wants to harm the festival handsome? Luo is thinking about the festival handsome. And in terms of the threat to the imperial court, Yang Xingmi is also in front of us, with him in his way, as for being so forward-looking? Luo Yin retorted.

Syllable!

"Okay, what's the noise?"

Qian Biao looked at the two arguing and felt annoyed, "It's absolutely impossible to let Yuezhou go." If I give up Yuezhou, I can only really pick up my tail and be a man in the future. ”

Cheng Ji wanted to persuade again, but Qian Biao didn't listen at all, but shook his hand and left the meeting hall.

To be honest, the current situation makes Qian Biao a bit of a dilemma.

If he cedes Yue and Qu Erzhou, his strength will be greatly damaged; But if you don't let it, you may be targeted by the imperial court.

Of course, in the end, Qian Biao did not plan to give up Yue and Qu Erzhou, but he still showed goodwill and sent someone to send a lot of food to Zheng Ningji in Mingzhou.

Why in Minnesotto?

Because Yuezhou was occupied by Qian Biao, in order to stabilize the situation and for the sake of security, Zheng Ningji could only set up his marshal's mansion in Mingzhou.

In addition to Yuezhou and Quzhou, which were occupied by Qian Biao, the Zhendong Army also governed Mingzhou, Wenzhou, Wuzhou, Chuzhou, and Taizhou.

However, the loss of Yuezhou still had a great impact on the Zhendong Army.

Don't look at Li Ye's appointment of many people to the Zhendong Army in one go, but the influence of the imperial court on these states is already minimal.

Not to mention those local forces, even the armies in the area under the jurisdiction of the Zhendong Army are divided into four groups with stronger strength.

They are the Imperial Court Forbidden Army, the Fan Hui Department, the Old Department of Dong Chang and the soldiers of various states and counties.

The forbidden army is the soldiers of the capital led by Qin Yi'an, although they are elite, but there are not many of them; Fan Hui's department was originally relatively strong, but because Fan Hui wanted to recapture Fuzhou, he was created by Wang Chaozhong, and his strength was weakened a lot.

As for Dong Chang's old ministry and the soldiers of various prefectures and counties, don't talk about it.

"Jie Shuai, I didn't expect this Qian Biao to send thousands of stones!" Zheng Gu took a list and handed it to Zheng Ningji, looking a little weird.

"A few thousand stone of grain? Is this money a gesture of goodwill? Or disgusting people? What can a few thousand stone grain do? Zheng Ningji snorted coldly.

"Jie Shuai, it is estimated that Qian Biao knows the current situation in the Central Plains and takes the initiative to show goodwill!" Zheng Gu analyzed.

"Take the initiative? It's better to let Yuezhou out! Obviously, Zheng Ningji has always kept the matter of being driven out of Yuezhou in his heart.

"This..." Zheng Gu was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Marshal Qiyu, since Qian Biao has the intention to show goodwill, we don't need to refuse people thousands of miles away, thousands of stones of grain are still enough for our army to eat for a while." Qin Yi'an suggested.

"There is some truth in what Qin Sima said, since Qian Biao wants to give it, then accept it. When the internal stability of the Zhendong Army is stabilized, the imperial court should be able to free up its hands at that time, and it is not too late to find Qian Biao to settle accounts at that time. Zheng Ningji stroked his beard and smiled.

Now is not the time to be reckless, so let's bear with it.

It's not that he wants to endure it, but he is also a newcomer, and he hasn't even sorted out the inside of the Zhendong Army, so how can he have the kung fu to fight against Qian Biao.

You must know that at present, the only army that Zheng Ningji can command is the 5,000 people formed by the forbidden army.

It's not that Zheng Ningji doesn't want to set up more, but he has no money.

The richest Yuezhou was occupied by Qian Biao, and the rest of the states were also in disobedience, Zheng Ningji chose to retreat in the face of Qian Biao's occupation of Yuezhou.

"Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely train the army well!" Qin Yi'an hugged his fists.

Zheng Ningji nodded, "Then it's hard work Qin Sima!" also tell the people below, endure for a while, have a chance to raise your eyebrows! ”

In fact, the changes in the situation in the Central Plains made many feudal towns not react.

They all thought that the imperial court would lose both with Zhu Wen, but they didn't expect that Zhu Wen might have to be out first.

Since the victory was decided, Zheng Congyan did not order a strong attack on Bianzhou, but took Zhongwu first, completely cutting off the possibility of Zhu Wen turning over.

And Zhang Guiba, who was defending the loyal army, was also persuaded by his brother Zhang Guihou to finally choose to surrender.

With the surrender of Zhongwu, it means that the four towns of Xuanwu in the past are only half of Xuanwu towns in Bianzhou and Songzhou.

At this time, Zheng Congyan was also relieved to let Liu Kui leave with tens of thousands of cavalry.

As for Bianzhou's side, it depends on whether Zhu Wen wants to defend to the death or chooses to surrender!
