After inspecting the local situation, Zhao Xun and Feng Ziming inspected the situation of the army. The army left behind in the land of Boping was all the soldiers of the left capital of the Shanyang Army, and it was also the first army captured by Zhao Xun. There were more than 10,000 people in all of them, and 3,000 people in the three battalions of cavalry.

Seeing them again, although these soldiers did not experience a tragic battle, some of them were soldiers who participated in the battle of Liangzhou Mansion. Now that the training methods of the Xiaoguo Army have made them very different from when they first met. It can be said that they are several times stronger than when they were first in Feng Ziming's hands. Both body, energy and will. In addition, the military regulations of the Shanyang Army also made these soldiers supported by the people. Unlike the Yanzhou Army, it is not liked by the people.

"Wei Chen, how is it? There's a big difference between leading a leader and being a guard by my side. Zhao Xun smiled and said to the former guards who looked a lot older.

Wei Chen smiled bitterly: "Compared with being by the lord's side, it is also very stressful to lead the army to guard against the Tang army in the north, so that his subordinates will arrive." In addition, there are many tasks to be taken on. My subordinates feel that I am not yet fully capable of leading the army. ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "Wei Chen, no one is born a general, they all grow up gradually. You are young, smart and studious, and you have learned a lot from being with me for so long. Believe in yourself and you can do well. This Boping land is the most important defense line of the northern line of my Shanyang Mansion. You can resist the pressure and do a good job of maneuvering details. Even if the Tang army doesn't attack, you will grow into a real leading general. ”

Wei Chen said: "Subordinates remember! ”

"Lord, the report from Juye City is here, the people we are waiting for are here!" Feng Ziming walked in with a smile on his face and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun looked sideways slightly and said with a smile: "Oh? Situ Wen or Xu Jie? ”

"Situ Wen! If you want to go back to Xu Jie, the people who stay behind will not report to us, after all, only Situ Wen can call the shots. As for Xu Jie, he didn't realize that he had become a pawn of others, and he was dreaming of his own. Feng Ziming scoffed.

Zhao Xun said to Wei Chen: "Wei Chen, the northern line of Shanyang Mansion will be handed over to you." If there is a situation, report it to us. If the Tang Army moves, there is no need to say more, fight back! Now that they are at war with the Xuzhou army, they should not come to fight with us again to officially fight a full-scale war. Of course, they should not be underestimated because of this. Now the Liangzhou Mansion is still stationed in the right general of the Tang Army, Meng Zhao, don't forget, we slapped his face. Although this person stayed in Liangzhou Mansion to stabilize the local situation and eliminate the mountain bandits, it cannot be ruled out that he may take action against us. If the two armies really clash, in the southern counties of Liangzhou Prefecture, there is still our hidden strength, and at that time, what about a battle with the Tang army? It is not impossible to cut off the second half of Liangzhou Mansion. Of course, you think about it, I believe you! ”

Wei Chen said solemnly: "Subordinates receive orders!" The subordinates will never live up to the trust of the lord! ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Very good, in this way, I will leave it to you here." It's time for me to talk to Situ Wen, it seems that because of the defeat of King Yong's army, Situ Lei has relieved Situ Wen. Yanzhou Mansion, the soldiers are bloodless! ”

Zhao Xun and Feng Ziming rode their horses and whips, and it took them more than half a day to rush back to Juye County, and after a short rest, they started formal negotiations with Situ Wen.

Thorn Mansion, Inner Hall. Under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army, the military and the government were separated, and the regular soldiers were not allowed to interfere in local affairs, and were directly under the command of the Military Affairs Department. The administrative officer is responsible for local government affairs, and at the same time is subordinate to the military Cao, who commands the local garrison, that is, the county soldiers. Therefore, in Shanyang Mansion, except for the Thorn History Mansion, the original Mansion of the Military Commander did not make much sense.

"Lord Situ, we meet again. It's only been half a month since we last met, why, Lord Situ agreed to General Ben's conditions? I remember that the last time Master Situ was leaving, it was a resounding impossibility. So, why are you here today? It is reported that now the Yanzhou Mansion army has been defeated in successive battles, and it is about to lose a place again. Lord Situ is not presiding over the battle in the south, why do you have time to come to me? Zhao Xun asked with a faint smile. didn't care at all about Situ Wen's somewhat ugly face.

Hearing Zhao Xun's mocking words, Situ Wen's face suddenly turned cold, he wanted to scold the other party angrily, and turned to leave. However, he knows better that he can't. As the other party said, the current situation in Yanzhou is very bad, and the Yanzhou government army is still only a local government army after all, and it can't withstand the Wuwei army. In addition, the reinforcements from Yongzhou were also defeated and fled under the joint efforts of the Shence army in Yuzhou and the Xiaoguo army in the north. Although most of Yuzhou's army was solved because of this, making Yuzhou unable to intervene in the situation in Yanzhou, but again, the Yongwang army could not come to help. If the land of Yanzhou is his own decision at this time, then it is time to move his army south to Yuzhou. It's a pity that he is still in a stalemate with the Wuwei Army in the land of Yanzhou, and he is still at a disadvantage.

Situ Wen knew very well that the only person who could help him now was the Shanyang Army in front of him, but the other party's ambition and greed made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he could even feel that this Li Feng and Feng Ziming might be beyond his control. Perhaps, they are worse than the consequences of the Wu Guard. However, he Situ Wen had no choice, after all, this Shanyang Army was not his enemy, and the Wuwei Army was already his enemy.

Sure enough, his worries were also the worries of his uncle Situ Lei. In the message Situ Lei replied, he also bluntly expressed his worries about this Shanyang Army. But he also talked about the stakes, now, even if he is worried about the hidden dangers of the Shanyang Army, he must first solve the problem of the Wuwei Army. After all, this hidden danger has not yet become a disaster, but the Wu Weijun is already a disaster.

Situ Wen's face stiffened and said, "With General Li's ability, I guess I don't know the purpose of coming here." Otherwise, General Li and Feng Thorn Shi wouldn't have rushed back from the land of Boping in a hurry, wouldn't they? ”

Turning Situ Wen on the other hand, Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "I know the meaning of Lord Situ's coming." I thought that Lord Situ wanted to ask my Shanyang Army to assist the Yanzhou Mansion Army in counterattacking the Wuwei Army, but after thinking about it, since Lord Situ's arrogant reply last time was impossible, I didn't think it was for this purpose. But Lord Situ is under the command of King Yong after all, and General Ben is arrogant, and he will not let Lord Situ throw aside. Moreover, the purpose of General Ben's inspection is almost accomplished. If it weren't for Lord Situ coming, General Ben and Lord Feng would have turned back. Of course, there are guests coming from afar, as the host, how can they not return home as soon as possible? ”

Seeing that the other party said this, Situ Wenqi's teeth itched. Now it can be said that he has said his purpose, and the other party knows it. But this Li Feng is just playing himself. What King Yong, as a distinguished guest, can't help but hurry back to greet him. However, he unceremoniously called himself General Ben, which was not polite at all.

Situ Wen had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Since General Li said so, there is no need to pretend to be arrogant anymore. General Li wants to lose face under the watch, and this is not a big deal. General Li and Lord Feng, I need you to send troops to help, and together with the Yanzhou Mansion Army, we will fight the Wuwei Army. As for your conditions, I have agreed to them. In other words, Yanzhou Mansion belongs to you. ”

Zhao Xun chuckled: "Really? With all due respect, it's not that General Ben doesn't believe you, it's just that this Yanzhou Mansion is the capital of Yanzhou, and now it should be Xu Jie, the military governor of Yanzhou Prefecture, no, it should be the Yanzhou County Governor who has the final say. Will he give us his fiefdom? What Zhao Xun said this time was not really playing with the other party, but really asked. The last time he asked for Yanzhou Mansion, Zhao Xun knew that it was unlikely, which is why Zhao Xun did not invite Xu Jie's people to talk, but directly asked the negotiators to find the main envoy who could speak. The result was obvious, and Situ Wen refused when he heard it. This Situ Wen is not only worried about the growth of the Shanyang army, which will have an impact on it. More importantly, Xu Jie's title is the county prince of Yanzhou, and the fief is Yanzhou Mansion. If Yanzhou Mansion is lost, how can Yanzhou County Governor be? With Xu Jie's current thoughts, no matter how obedient he is, it is not very easy to give up Yanzhou Mansion.

It's good that Zhao Xun didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Situ Wen was angry. Speaking of which, since Zhao Xun put forward this condition half a month ago, he has been considering it. To be honest, after refusing, he also considered the situation in Yanzhou. It is also a hidden danger for this Shanyang army to stay here and not participate in the war, because it is not clear what its camp is. In addition, the only way to reverse the unfavorable situation and solve the Wuwei Army as quickly as possible is to let the Shanyang Army participate in the war. It's not impossible to promise each other. After all, if the Shanyang Army participates in the war and fights with the Wuwei Army, how much will the Shanyang Army have left in the end, or two words, maybe, it will not be able to control Yanzhou Mansion and Shanyang Mansion in the future, and at that time, it is not impossible for the Yanzhou Army to defeat the Shanyang Army and completely control Yanzhou Mansion and Shanyang Mansion. Or, when the reinforcements of the Yongwang army arrive, they can also deal with the remnants of the Shanyang army after the battle with the Wuwei army.

Of course, Situ Wen has another concern. This armed guard army has now expanded to 60,000 people, and there is Yuzhou behind it to provide logistics and officers, and this armed guard army will become stronger and stronger as time goes by. So, the sooner they are addressed, the better. Because, King Yong's army has reinforcements, and Murong Cheng also has reinforcements to go north. If the land of Yanzhou is resolved as soon as possible, then the situation can be completely changed, and in the end, a different situation will come out.

But as Zhao Xun said, as soon as Situ Wen brought it up, Xu Jie refused, and even turned his face, without any scruples about Situ Wen's identity. For Xu Jie, Yanzhou Mansion is his face, how can this be given to others? Subsequently, the Yanzhou Mansion Army of Yanzhou Mansion and Jiyin Mansion began to mobilize, which had the meaning of fighting with the Shanyang Army. If it weren't for the strength of the Wuwei Army and the persuasion of Situ Wen and his cronies, the annoyed and angry Xu Jie was afraid that he would have to send an army to solve the problem by force. Rao was like this, and he almost directly declared the Wuwei Army to be the rebel army in the land of Yanzhou and the enemy of the Yanzhou Mansion Army. Later, after Xu Jie was a little sober, he gave up this idea. A martial guard army makes Xu Jie unable to hold it now, plus a Shanyang army that has defeated the Tang army, and the Yanzhou Mansion army will really be finished at that time. After all, if it was announced, it would be tantamount to making the Shanyang Army and the Yanzhou Army an enemy head-on.

Seeing Xu Jie's big reaction, Situ Wen immediately persuaded Xu Jie, bluntly saying that this was just a condition of the Shanyang Army, and he refused. But with the defeat of the Yanzhou army and the disobedience of Xu Jie, Situ Wen also felt that it might be better to join another force and better control this Xu Jie. Of course, what Situ Wen wanted was not the Shanyang Army, but to let Xu Jie's subordinates split into another force. Although the Yongwang army came with reinforcements, Xu Jie, who was canonized by the imperial court, was the prince of Yanzhou, and how to say it, it was also for the Yongwang army to fight the king of Qi. If the reinforcements of the Yongwang army came, they would directly attack Xu Jie's territory and seize Xu Jie's territory. I'm afraid that if I want other forces to work for him in the future, I'm afraid that it will be difficult, and it will force other forces to Murong Cheng's side.

However, the defeat of Situ Wen's reinforcements from Situ Lei's request for help suddenly made the Shanyang Army an indispensable force again. This time, don't talk about Situ Wen, even Situ Lei also ordered him to agree to the conditions of the Shanyang Army and let the Shanyang Army participate in the war.

After Situ Wen promised, wait for the reinforcements of King Yong's army to arrive. After the coalition forces handed over the Shanyang Mansion and the Liangzhou Mansion occupied by the Tang army, and even the Yanzhou Prefectures that were later seized from the Tang army, Xu Jie, who reluctantly agreed. Of course, the actual situation is also one of the reasons that forced Xu Jie to agree. If the Shanyang army doesn't come again, and the Yongwang army doesn't have reinforcements, Xu Jie is afraid that he will lose the land again.

Although Xu Jie agreed, Xu Jie didn't have a good impression of Situ Wen anymore. After all, Situ Wen didn't invite the Yongwang Army for assistance, but wanted to cut the land and ask for troops by himself, how could he be happy? So much so that some of the military orders issued by Situ Wen, Xu Jie did not follow them as before. Seeing this, Situ Wen was not only dissatisfied with Xu Jie, but also extremely annoyed with the Shanyang Army. Speaking of which, it's all something that the Shanyang Army did. Now that he heard Zhao Xun ask like this, how could he not have anger in his heart?
