Li Jing looked up to the sky and laughed, he stopped laughing, and said coldly: "Saying that Li Yuan is the Li clan of Longxi is just coaxing those ignorant stupid people and foolish people, if Li Yuan is the Li clan of Longxi, can he gain a foothold in the nobles of Guanlong?" Don't be close, he is only after the six towns of Hu Min, and he has nothing to do with the Li clan in Longxi. ”

Wu Shitong's face was red and white, and he had to reluctantly say: "I don't know if it's from the Li clan, but one thing is clear, if the general is willing to be loyal to Chang'an, the king of Tang promised to crown the general as the king of Yuyang County, and eat 5,000 households." ”

Li Jing snorted lightly, and did not answer Wu Shitong's words, but asked rhetorically, "Has Zhang Xuan accepted your canonization?" ”

"I'm going to go south to Beihai County tomorrow."

"Does Wu Senjun think Zhang Xuan will accept it? Let's be honest. ”

Wu Shitong shook his head, "If Zhang Xuan was willing to accept it, we would have gone to him a long time ago, King Tang once said that if Zhang Xuan was willing to return to Chang'an, the Son of Heaven could even crown him as the King of Qi and eat ten thousand households, but I personally think that Zhang Xuan still doesn't look down on King Qi." ”

"It's not that he looks down on King Qi!"

Li Jing sneered and said: "He just doesn't look down on the King of Qi you have feuded, if the Holy Lord crowns him the King of Qi, how can he not accept it, of course, the Holy Lord I am talking about is not your pseudo-Son of Heaven in Chang'an, but the real Son of Heaven of the Great Sui." ”

Samurai Yan smiled bitterly, "It's hard for me to answer this, but can the general give me a clear answer?" ”

Li Jing pulled out an arrow, 'Click! Breaking it into two parts, he handed the broken arrow to the warrior Tong, "You give it to Li Yuan, this is my answer!" ”

The warrior Tong had no choice but to accept the broken arrow, and said to Li Jing: "Since this is the case, I won't disturb the general." We'll see you later! ”

Li Jing stood up and coldly ordered his subordinates: "Send Wu out of the camp." ”

Just half an hour after the samurai Tong left the Lushui warehouse, Zhang Xuan got the information of the scouts on the bank of the Juma River, and the samurai Tong was expelled from the warehouse gate, very embarrassed, which means that the samurai Tong said that Li Jing was unsuccessful.

This is also expected by Jang Hyun. With Li Jing's person, how can he easily succumb to Li Yuan's bribery, Li Yuan wants to accept Li Jing not by bribery, it must be under certain conditions, Li Jing may surrender when he feels his sincerity, but Li Yuan can't get this condition, unless he leads his army to Hebei.

Zhang Xuan was pacing back and forth in the big tent, what if he went to persuade Li Jing by himself? Although it was also in his plan to subdue Li Jing, Zhang Xuan understood it in his heart. The time is not yet ripe, and it would be counterproductive to start too early.

At this time, Pei Hong next to him said: "Wu Shi Tong persuaded Li Jing to lose, then his next step should be to persuade the marshal, although he also knew that it was unlikely, but he felt that he would still come." ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "Even if he comes, I won't see him, and some things won't be interesting to put it bluntly." ”

"That being the case. Why didn't the marshal publicly denounce Li Yuan and denounce him as a ****. Call on the world's heroes to discuss it? ”

Pei Hong's suggestion also touched Zhang Xuan's heart, Zhang Xuan has been thinking about this matter these days, the benefits are self-evident, you can claim to be orthodox, and you are famous, but there are also disadvantages. is that he will fall into passivity in the future, and Li Yuan is very smart, he supported the acting king Yang Yu as the emperor, even if he is reprimanded as a **** rebellion, it seems that the effect will not be very great. After all, he has not yet usurped the throne.

So Zhang Xuan has been hesitating about this matter these days, and the key is to see the news from Jiangdu.

While he was pondering, Fang Xuanling walked into the big tent quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Dashuai, the news from Jiangdu is here!" ”

Zhang Xuan's spirits perked up, this was the news he had been waiting for for a long time, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

Fang Xuanling handed the information to Zhang Xuan and said with a smile: "The exact time is in the Zhongyuan Festival, there are still twenty-three days until today, and the time is already very urgent." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at the information, pondered for a moment, and then said to Fang Xuanling: "We will immediately withdraw our troops south to Hejian County, so that Luo Shixin can lead 10,000 troops to garrison Hejian County, and the rest of the army will retreat to Beihai County." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan said to Pei Hong again: "I estimate that the warrior Tong will come to Hejian County soon, and Pei Senjun is responsible for dealing with him, so I told him that I don't see him and let him go back directly." ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

Pei Hong saluted and hurriedly went, and Zhang Xuan said to Fang Xuanling again: "Mr. can tell Li Qingming and let him pay attention to Yuwen Zhiji's every move, and if there is any information, he can send it directly to Donghai County." ”

"Are you sure you want to go to Donghai County?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "If you can get Yu Wenhua's wedding dress, we will fight here." ”

"What about Luo Yi's side?"

"Luo Yi is not in a hurry here!"

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "We still have to create conditions for Luo Yi, let him and Li Jinghuo merge, and when the two of them compete, we will reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Zhang Xuan's army left Juma and retreated south overnight, and Zhang Xuan immediately appointed Xu Shiji and Luo Shixin to lead 10,000 troops each to garrison Shanggu County and Hejian County to prevent Luo Yi from leading his army south, and Zhang Xuan immediately led the army to leave Hebei and rushed to Beihai County.

Four days later, the army arrived in Beihai County, but Zhang Xuan did not have time to rest, he immediately led 30,000 elite soldiers to board the ship and went south, and asked Pei Xingyan to lead 10,000 cavalry from Langya County to the south, to Donghai County, where the land and water armies would secretly converge in Donghai County.

After several years of operation, Donghai Island has become a transit point for the Qingzhou army to go south, and the Qingzhou army has built a large warehouse on the East China Sea Island, storing thousands of stone grain, and also built a large military camp and wharf, with a garrison of 3,000 people and more than 100 permanent ships.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, hundreds of large ships loaded with tens of thousands of soldiers arrived at Donghai Island, and Zhao Zhi, the defender of Donghai Island, led more than a dozen generals to the dock to greet the arrival of Zhang Xuan, the commander of the Qingzhou Army.

"See the boss!" They all knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard, please get up quickly!" ”

Everyone got up, and Zhang Xuan said again: "Let everyone guard the island for almost a year, and after this mission, we will change the guard, and everyone can go back to Beihai County to reunite with their families." ”

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked them together, and at this time, Zhang Xuan asked again: "Are General Pei and his cavalry here?" ”

"Back to the marshal, General Pei arrived a few days ago, stationed on land, and is not on the island for the time being."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Is there anything going on in Donghai County during this time?" ”

"Returning to the big handsome, everything is calm."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Yu Xiangguo's eldest son is in Donghai County, and he said that he came to see the marshal on his father's order, I don't know how he could find out that the marshal would come to Donghai County?" ”

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned, it was actually Yu Shiji's son, he sighed a little and asked, "Where is this person now?" ”

"Back to the marshal, this person is in the barracks now."

"Let's go to the barracks first!"

Zhang Xuan and everyone came to the barracks, the big tent of the Chinese army has been installed, Zhang Xuan walked into the big tent and sat down, the soldiers brought him tea, Zhang Xuan drank tea while considering Yu Shiji's arrangement, this is Yu Shiji's precaution, and Pei Ju, these high-ranking officials were the first to feel that the Sui Dynasty building was about to fall, so they all considered the way back for themselves, compared to Pei Ju's foresight, Yu Shiji was still one step late.

But Yu Shiji put the future of the Yu family on himself, unlike the Pei family, who stepped on two boats, in comparison, the Yu family was more sincere.

Of course, the Yu family is a famous family in Jiangnan, if you can get the support of the Yu family, it will have an important impact on your future foothold in Jiangnan, among the Yu clan, Zhang Xuan admires Yu Shinan more than Yu Shiji's son, but Yu Shiji's sons are good, except for his stepson Xiahou Yan, they can be used.

After a while, several soldiers brought Yu Xi in, Yu Xi had to admire his father's foresight, Zhang Xuan really came to Donghai County, he walked into the big tent and bowed, "See Qi Guogong!" ”

"It turned out to be Gongzi Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Ling Zun?" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

"Thank you for the general's concern, my father is very good, he has a letter to the general."

Yu Xi took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Zhang Xuan with both hands, Zhang Xuan took the letter and opened it to read it, Yu Shiji was full of praise for himself in the letter, at the end of the letter, Yu Shiji implored himself to take care of his son and the Yu family, as a sincerity, he was willing to give the support he had received over the years to the Qingzhou Army, and at the same time he would try his best to make himself a step higher.

This made Zhang Xuan a little interested, although he is not short of military spending for the time being, but the more money the better, once he expands in the future, he will need a lot of money at that time.

Yu Shiji still has to find a way to make himself promoted, but he doesn't know how he can do it?

Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry to mention the money, and asked with a smile: "Isn't Gongzi Yu no longer a Fu Xilang now?" ”

"I've resigned from my position, and I'm just a blank slate."

Yu Xi was a little nervous in his heart, and he had already said that at the most critical moment, what position could Zhang Xuan give himself, he saw that Zhang Xuan was pondering, and his heart was pounding.

At this time, Yu Xi suddenly remembered something, secretly scolded himself for being confused, and hurriedly took out the jade pendant and said: "Father divided the income over the years into two parts, one was left to the family, and the other was donated to the Qingzhou Army, and my father sent a copy to the Qingzhou Army to the Taiyuan Wang family, and this jade pendant can be taken out." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded secretly, he was still thinking about how Yu Shiji planned to give the money to himself, it was originally stored in the Taiyuan Wang family, this Yu Xi was more honest than his father, Zhang Xuan took the jade pendant and said with a smile: "I can understand the sincerity of Yu Xiangguo and the Yu family, I welcome Yu Gongzi very much, I believe that Yu Gongzi's talent is useful in me, if Yu Gongzi does not dislike it, he can temporarily serve as a military advisor to join the army and assist Fang Junshi, he urgently needs a powerful assistant over there." ”

Yu Xi was overjoyed, and bowed again, "I am willing to serve the general!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled, and then ordered his own soldiers: "Please come over!" ”
