Although he was extremely angry in his heart, Tang Xian still didn't say anything, now, the most important thing is to reach a peace agreement with Zhao Xun, and the rest, at this moment, he can't care about it.

"Governor Zhao, since you don't agree with my conditions, what are the conditions there?" Tang Xian said coldly.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "The guards attacked my Xiaoguo Army in Donglai Mansion for no reason, and in the past three months, in Donglai Mansion alone, my Xiaoguo Army has lost forty or fifty thousand people. Let you stay in Qingzhou, it is really a disaster. ”

Tang Xianhu stood up, stared at Zhao Xun coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Governor Zhao mean by this?" In Tang Xian's opinion, Zhao Xun's words were obvious that the Wei army could not survive in Qingzhou. Doesn't this mean that Zhao Xun intends to clear the guards in Qingzhou.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "It's not interesting, what I want to say is very simple." We can make peace, but you can't stay in Qingzhou. With the current condition of your guards, there is nothing to compensate for. Although Qingzhou can't stay, Xuzhou and Yanzhou in the south can be a foothold for the guards. ”

Tang Xian said sharply: "Governor Zhao is talking about it, Xuzhou?" That was the territory of the Xuzhou Army. Yanzhou, the territory of the imperial court at that time, you let me fight for it? You clearly have no intention of peace talks, are you playing me? ”

Zhao Xun couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I originally thought that General Tang was an ambitious general, or even a hero. But now it seems that it is nothing more than that. ”

Tang Xian said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this. ”

"What is the use of the guards staying in Gaomi Province and Donglai Province in the east of Qingzhou? In the south, my Xiaoguo Army is garrisoned, in the east is the Qingzhou Army, and in the east is Jizhou, which is the jurisdiction of my Xiaoguo Army. You say, in an environment that is hostile on all sides, can you grow? Well, I'll be blunt, do you think we can let you grow here? Even if we let it, just rely on this government and a half jurisdiction? Zhao Xun sneered.

"Soldiers, horses, money, and food can't get out of the territory. Only when you have turf can we talk about anything else. What happened to Xuzhou Army? The Xuzhou Army was also developed from the land of Yifu. It's only because your Wei army was defeated in the first battle, so that the Xuzhou army has the ability to govern a state today. He Li Chi can occupy Xuzhou, can't you Tang Xian? ”

"Yanzhou? Court? General Tang, do you still have the imperial court in your eyes now? Even if you do, do they approve of you? Your two guards have been stripped of their titles by the imperial court. In other words, you, the tens of thousands of guards, have become the same as the Xuzhou rebels. ”

"Now, the Xuzhou army is attacking in Yanzhou and wants to expand its territory in Yanzhou. However, Murong Cheng ordered the Yangzhou army to start attacking from the south. Now, Xuzhou and Yanzhou are both places of war, and they are also the best time to obtain them. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Xun stopped talking, if Tang Xian still didn't understand, he just said it in vain.

Tang Xian naturally understood what Zhao Xun meant, if he Tang Xian wanted to become an independent and unrestrained force, he must have his own territory. And Qingzhou, it is obviously impossible, here, it has been booked by Zhao Xun. But Xuzhou and Yanzhou in the south are the best places to take it. And now, it's a good time to take it.

Tang Xian sat down slowly and couldn't help but start thinking deeply. And Cao Bin and Wang Yanqing on the side were also secretly surprised. Zhao Xun: What is this doing? It is clear that it is to incite all forces to occupy land for independence.

Tang Xian was a little moved, he had to admit that Zhao Xun was reasonable, and it went to his heart. At this moment, he has soldiers in his hands but no territory, and no territory means that he cannot grow, and in the end, it means that Atta's original ambition cannot be achieved. But he also has concerns, now he does not have enough grain and grass in his hands, there is no military supplies, if he rashly enters Xuzhou and Yanzhou, one is not good, and it is very likely that it will disappear.

"I need to think about this and talk about it tomorrow!" After a while, Tang Xian said in a muffled voice.

"Okay, then let's go back tomorrow!" Zhao Xun said with a smile, Zhao Xun was not surprised by Tang Xian's reaction. This is not an ordinary matter after all, it is about the fate of Tang Xian and his subordinates. But Tang Xian still said: "General Tang, you have your own destiny in your own hands." Only hard work, hard work, success or failure, is not the most important. ”

Tang Xian was stunned for a moment, did not speak, but said goodbye to Cao Bin and turned to leave.

Zhao Xun also said: "Since this is the case, then I will also leave and continue tomorrow." ”

Looking at the two who left, Cao Bin frowned and said, "Let the guards leave?" Still going south to Xuzhou and Yanzhou? Isn't he afraid that Tang Xian and Li Chi will join forces? Isn't this an enemy for yourself? ”

Wang Yanqing said in a deep voice: "I am setting up an enemy for myself, and it is also very likely that Tang Xian and Li Chi will join forces." But the two really didn't really work together. Two ambitious people, get together in one place, and you say what will happen. The two enemies who fought each other were not Zhao Xun's opponents. ”

"Two tigers fight! I understand! Xuzhou is Li Chi's territory, which he single-handedly laid, and Yanzhou is the channel for the development of the Xuzhou army. Tang Xian went south, whether it was to capture Xuzhou or Yanzhou, and he was bound to confront Li Chi, so the two were bound to fight each other. Before Zhao Xun officially went south, the two were definitely enemies, not allies. Cao Bin said in a deep voice.

Wang Yanqing said: "Yes, it doesn't look eye-catching, Li Chi is going to be played by Zhao Xun this time." Li Chi sent an army and took the land of Yanzhou, and was immediately counterattacked by the army of King Qi, encircled and suppressed, and now he can't care about anything else, it is a good time for Tang Xian to fight. If nothing else, Tang Xian will agree. As Zhao Xun said, staying in Qingzhou, there is no room for development at all. If you don't want to be trapped in the northeast of Qingzhou, you can only move to the south. ”

On the second day, the three parties reunited in the Plum Garden Pavilion.

"How? General Tang, how are you thinking about it? Zhao Xun said with a smile while teasing Maomao, who had grown up.

Seeing a big tiger coquettish like a puppy beside Zhao Xun, Tang Xian, Cao Bin and others were a little dumbfounded. Nowadays, there are many pets, but most of them are parrots and puppies, etc., and I haven't seen anyone keep tigers as pets.

"Our guards can move out of Qingzhou, but neither Xuzhou nor Yanzhou can be captured lightly. I need to have a temporary rear in Qingzhou. Tang Xian looked at the tiger that was yawning at Zhao Xun's feet, but roaring at him from time to time, and said in a muffled voice.

Zhao Xun laughed and said, "You have to talk to Cao Dudu about this." In any case, you Weijun can't stay in Qingzhou. ”

Seeing Zhao Xun throw himself away like this, Tang Xian couldn't help but hate it.

Later, Tang Xian had a talk with Cao Bin, and Cao Bin agreed to temporarily borrow Langya Mansion and the guards. But the guards wanted to take away the officials of Gaomi Mansion, Jiaodong Mansion and other places. Of course, these officials are not really from the guards, what Cao Bin needs is that the guards will remove these disobedient officials for him. In this way, not only can he take over the land of the guards, but he can also eliminate those civil and military officials who do not obey his orders without having to do it himself.

In the Qingzhou Prefectures, there were more officials who were dissatisfied with Cao Bin. The military attache is better, deal with it directly. But those civil officials, in addition to involving a large number of big families behind them, also have many good reputations, but they are stones in the pit. For such a situation, Cao Bin is also a little aggrieved, and now that he has the guards to do it for him, why not?

Although he knew the meaning of Cao Bin's move, Tang Xian had to follow. When he went south to Langya Mansion, he had to go through many places along the way, and the officials in these places also needed to be dealt with by his guards. In this way, Qingzhou is bound to have no good impression of him Tang Xian, and he Tang Xian will not be able to have any intention of plotting against Qingzhou.

"Since General Tang is willing to move, how are you going to move?" Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile when he saw that the two had negotiated.

Tang Xian said in a sullen voice: "The army is not moving for the time being, I need to temporarily borrow 10,000 military armor banners from Cao Dudu." Go south first, and when the south is stable, the whole army will move. ”

"Good calculation!" Zhao Xun couldn't help but say secretly. From Tang Xian's words, it can be heard that Tang Xian is preparing to send an army of 10,000 people to the south to take action against Xuzhou or Yanzhou. Because the south is the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou government army, he wants to use the government army as a big banner to make a surprise attack and launch a surprise attack on Xuzhou or Yanzhou.

"Yes!" Cao Bin also knew what Tang Xian meant, so he naturally understood the effect that Tang Xian wanted to create. For him, it was not too much of a problem.

"Governor Zhao, our guard army is short of supplies, and I bother you to loosen the sea blockade and let us replenish the supplies we deserve." Tang Xian said to Zhao Xun again.

"Yes, except for the army, we will give permission to pass merchant ships. Of course, taxes still have to be paid. Zhao Xun didn't make it difficult and said. The supply of the guards is difficult, how can Zhao Xun not know. Even myself, too. Besides, the merchant ships can increase their own tax revenues, so why not.

"Governor Zhao! This time, you've won! Tang Xian stared at Zhao Xun and said coldly.

"Don't dare! General Tang has gained a lot! After three months of fighting, these tens of thousands of guards can be regarded as the subordinates of General Tang, not the subordinates of the imperial court or Murong Cheng. Compared with the good Tang general, my Xiaoguo army is wronged, and I will fight with you for no reason, not to mention the loss of troops, and there is no benefit. Zhao Xun said lightly.

Tang Xian sneered: "No gain? So what's going on in Jizhou? And this Qingzhou...... Can't help but take me for an idiot! ”

Zhao Xun smiled and did not speak. What Tang Xian said was true, if he could really choose whether to let Tang Xian attack Donglai Mansion, Zhao Xun would still choose yes. Tang Xian moved, and the world pattern was on the side. The Xiaoguo army also took the entire territory of Jizhou by the way, and in addition, the northern Zhuhu was even ordered by himself. Among them, what satisfied Zhao Xun the most was the submission of the northern Zhuhu. This conscription of his soldiers is only the first step, as long as this first step is taken, will it be difficult to follow?

Because of Tang Xian's private actions, Murong Cheng's strength has been greatly reduced, at least compared to before, he is more than a step weaker, and in the short term, he can no longer pose a serious threat to himself. It also made the southern states change one after another. The strength above can't be suppressed, and the bottom naturally has thoughts. Not to mention, it is the land of various states, there are rebel rebels. If nothing else, it is because of this series of wars that all parties have expanded their strength, causing the people to suffer unspeakably, and the result has risen. And the state capitals followed this name, privately expanding their armies, excluding all officials appointed above. Now, both Murong Cheng and Situ Lei are busy cleaning up their back gardens, and they are powerless about the affairs of Xiaoguo Army and Qingzhou.

The heads of the three forces stayed in Xixian County for three days, and no one in the outside world knew what was discussed between the three of them, and then they left. But Tang Xian was assassinated on the way back.

The person who carried out the assassination was none other than the spies of the Xuzhou army in Qingzhou. This Tang Xian killed 300 secret agents of the Xuzhou Army in one fell swoop, and even Li Chi's favorite nephew did it, so the Qingzhou Branch of the Xuzhou Army naturally would not give up. So Tang Xian was assassinated one after another, Tang Xian was so annoyed that in a fit of anger, he gave the Wei army an order to purge the Xuzhou army spies in the Wei army's jurisdiction.

Zhao Xun couldn't help but smile when he heard Tang Xian's actions. Among these assassins, there are Xuzhou troops, but there are not many, most of them are done by the Eagle Eye Division and the Shadow Division. Under the identity of the Xuzhou Army, Tang Xian was assassinated, of course, not really killed. With an arrogant person like Tang Xian, how could he endure endless assassinations. completely suppressed the original intention of explaining to the Xuzhou Army, and asked his subordinates to clear the spies sent by the Xuzhou Army. After he goes south, he will inevitably be opposed to the Xuzhou army, and there is no way for the two sides to reconcile in the short term, Tang Xian is not a person who is afraid of things, even the Xiaoguo army dares to move, not to mention that you are a Xuzhou army.
