Wu Gaoguan.

An Jinquan's envoy passed through several checkpoints of the Liang army along the way, and finally arrived at the Wujiao Pass.

"Hurry up and report it, in the messenger of the Xiahedong Army, there is an urgent military information communication."

Yang Fuguang had left Wujiao Pass a few days ago and returned to Luoyang, and the guard general in the pass at this time was Yang Shouliang, the son of Yang Fuguang. Hearing that the messenger of the Hedong Army had an urgent message, he threw down the chess pieces in his hand, disrupted the chess game that was obviously about to be lost, stood up and said with a smile: "It seems that Li Keyong has already cut off Zhu Wen's head and taken Bianzhou." ”

The few martial guards who were with him didn't care about Yang Shouliang's rogue behavior, and said with a smile: "This black crow is still very neat in handling things, so should we immediately send troops to Zhengzhou and take Zhengzhou in one fell swoop." Save these crow soldiers from robbing Bianzhou and Zhengzhou in a while. This Zhengzhou, in the future, it will be said that it will belong to our King Yang. ”

Yang Shouliang and several of his generals came to the front hall with a smile, but saw that the Hedong envoy looked crying and mourning, and this person was actually wearing linen and filial piety. They were stunned for a moment, and suddenly they had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when the envoy from Hedong saw Yang Shouliang, he immediately cried and knelt down, "General Yang, please send troops to Bianzhou immediately to avenge our King Jin!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"King Jin, King Jin, his old man, was murdered by the despicable Zhu Wen!" The envoy intermittently told the changes in Bianzhou Shangyuanyi. Now, Yang Shouliang and they were really shocked, dog, although Li Ke used this guy to be liked by everyone, they had to admit that Li Ke was really capable of using this shatuo. But this has been defeated countless times under Li Jing. The guy who didn't lose his life either. actually died in Bianzhou. Killed by Zhu Wen?

Li Keyong went to kill Zhu Wen, and when a few days ago, he also brought 20,000 elites with him, why did he die at the hands of Zhu Wen all of a sudden. It's not right, it doesn't make sense.

But after the end, they still had to admit that this was the truth, Li Keyong was really dead, a generation of heroes, King Shatuo. Flying Tiger Black Crow One-eyed Dragon, King of Jin, Taiwei, Hedong Jiedu Envoy, Tongping Zhangshi, Taiyuan Mansion Yin, Beidu Stay, regardless of the title, this extremely fierce, Shatuo Warrior who began to participate in the conquest of the Xuzhou Rebellion at the age of twelve. At the age of fourteen, he has become a general, and at the age of eighteen, he has already rebelled to the point of being a tough guy. The guy who fought with Li Jing for almost ten years and was not wiped out, did not die in the hands of Li Jing in the end, but actually died in the hands of Zhu Asan who no one took a serious look at.

But even at this time, they would never think that Zhu Wen was very strong, stronger than Li Keyong. In their minds, Li Ke was too careless and careless in Jingzhou. Especially when I heard that even if Li Keyong was killed, nearly half of the generals of the Hedong Army were controlled by Zhu Wen, they could still reverse the counterattack, beat Zhu Wen in a bad way, and even almost killed Zhu Wen, and also broke through the outer city of Bianzhou in one fell swoop, and locked Zhu Wen in Yacheng and beat him, which verified their conjecture more and more. It's not that Zhu Wen is strong, but that Li Ke is careless with the enemy.

Rick's death was a surprise to them, but it was only a surprise. Now they have to think about how to face this endgame.

After waving off the Hedong messenger, Yang Shouliang frowned.

"General, Li Keyong will die, it is estimated that Zhu Asan will have to go to see Li Ya'er in two days. Those Hedong troops are not weak, let's plan to send troops! ”

Yang Shouliang pinched his beard and sneered a few times, picked up a cup of tea and drank it unhurriedly.

"No hurry, no hurry."

"Not in a hurry?"

Soon, some generals came back to their senses and laughed with Hehe. "The general's intention, could it be that we first watch the fire from the other side, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for the angry Hedong Army to fight with Zhu Asan first, and then we can easily clean up the mess?"

"Wouldn't that be better?" Yang Shouliang smiled. In fact, he was thinking more than that, he was thinking that Zhu Wen was definitely not the opponent of the Hedong Army, and after the Hedong Army destroyed Zhu Wen, it would definitely suffer a lot of losses. At that time, he made another move, first, to easily take Xuanwu Town, and second, he also took a fancy to the Hedong Army that Li Keyong led south this time. If he can swallow this leaderless elite, then his strength will increase dramatically. At that time, maybe he can also become the commander of the Xuanwu Festival, and he can also control the land of a town, instead of just a town general of Wujiaoguan.

"Send scout battalions to pay close attention to the movements in Zhengzhou Bianzhou and Huazhou, especially the situation in Cao and Song Prefectures east of Bianzhou, and closely monitor them." The east side of the Bianhe River is the territory of the Qin Domain. At present, Li Ke lost Jingzhou with carelessness and was killed by Zhu Wen. The Hedong Army and the Bianjun Army have already fought a real fire, at this time, although Yang Shouliang wants to take advantage of the fisherman, he also has to prevent Li Jing from intervening at a critical time. Even if they signed an agreement not long ago, they have to guard against it.

Yanjing, the Qinzheng Hall of the Forbidden Palace.

Li Jing is issuing a military order, "Immediately use the Qin Zongquan Legion, the Shangrang Legion, the Ge Congzhou Legion, and the Zhang Guimu Legion to form the Shannan Traveling Battalion, and the four Army Corps to form the Shannan Traveling Battalion, and from now on, grant Shang Rang the Commander of the Shannan Traveling Camp and the Governor of Shannan Province, and grant Qin Zongquan the Deputy Commander of the Shannan Traveling Camp and the Governor of Shannan Province, with Ge Congzhou as the marching Sima of the Xingying Battalion, and Jiugui Mu as the staff officer of the marching camp, and Zhang Guiba as the supervising envoy of the Xing Battalion." ”

"The order, from now on, the Shannan Xingying Battalion immediately marched to Shannan Province and captured the prefectures. The civil and military officials of the camp and the province shall be selected and appointed by the camp and the province, and shall be reported to Yanjing for approval. ”

Since you want the horses to run, of course, you can't let the horses not eat grass. Li Jing plans to use these few rabbles of up to 100,000 troops to nail them between the forces of all sides, and add another fire to them. But if you want them to be obedient, you naturally have to give benefits. The benefits given by Li Jing are very simple, official position, rights. The official positions of the camp and the province are considered to be very powerful. The greater right is that Li Jing does not meddle in the camp and the province at all, and they have the final say in the appointment and dismissal of officials.

This is a great good thing for Shang Rang and others, so that they can not only use Li Jing's tiger skin to swagger, but also not really be controlled by Li Jing. Moreover, with Li Jing as a backer, he can also exchange the loot for the required ordnance and food at any time, which is a good thing like pie in the sky.

As for Li Jing, he doesn't have to worry about Shang Rang and others taking the opportunity to sit big. In the cracks of the land in Shannan. I want to sit. It's not easy. In particular, they are still made up of four forces. Even if Li Jing supports them, they can't really sit big. Li Jing's abacus is better than theirs, he doesn't need to be out, and he doesn't even give money and food in vain. You can command these guys to contain the parties. As for what kind of camp and province, let's wait until they can really last to the fullest.

A few days later, Chenzhou.

Zhang Guiba, who was appointed as the military envoy of the Shannan Xing Camp and the governor of Shannan Province, summoned all the generals above the head of the Fourth Army Corps and read out the Qin Wangjun Decree in public.

After the order was read. Qin Zongquan, Shang Rang and others all had their own thoughts.

Shang Rang's legion marching Sima Zhang Juyan was the first to speak, "What does King Qin mean, the territory that will be laid in the future will be regarded as the territory of Shannan Province?" ”

"That's right, not only the territory laid down in the future, but even the current Yingchenhao Cai Sizhou are also included in Shannan Province first. In the future, the territory laid down will be returned to Shannan Province. ”

"The King of Qin will not send people again?"

"Well, the subordinate officials and generals of the camp and the province are all appointed and dismissed by the province and the camp themselves. As long as you report to Yanjing afterwards. ”

After hearing this confirmation, everyone present couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes. What this means. This meant that Li Jing had put them in control of one side, rather than strictly separating military law and law as in the rest of the Qin army, which meant that they had become a de facto independent feudal town in the Qin army. This is not without precedent in the Qin army, such as Huaixi Town, Zhexi Town, Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao are all disciples of Li Jing, and their sisters are married to Li Jing, as a result, these two have been strongly supported by Li Jing over the years, and now they are both divided from one side. Although it was named under the Qin Domain, it was actually an independent feudal town. Now, Li Jing is also willing to let them enjoy such treatment, how unhappy are they.

Although everyone is not an idle person, they have long understood that Li Jing is willing to open such conditions, completely because Shannan Dao is not in their hands now. If you want to control Shannan independently, you must first lay down Shannan. However, they don't care about it. You can't still think about letting Li Jing help them fight down, and then hand it over to them to control.

All they need is that Li Jing will not regret it afterwards, and when they have laid down the ground, it is enough to pick peaches again.

"King Qin is a promise, and his reputation is not to worry about. Now that Li Keyong was killed by Zhu Wen in Bianzhou, the Hedong Army has besieged Bianzhou. The Liang armies of Tang, Sui, and Deng prefectures in the southern part of Shannan were receiving orders to support Bianzhou. Right now, the Shannan Prefectures controlled by Zhu Wen are empty, everyone, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you can't miss it. As long as we fight down, the territory will be ours. ”

The territory of Shannan Province is very large, originally belonged to one of the ten major roads, and later it was divided into Shannan East and Shannan West, and Shannan West Road is also Xingyuan Town, which belongs to one of the three rivers. The territory of Shannandong is very large, from the upper reaches of the Huai River to the upper and lower reaches of the Han River, all belong to Shannan Dongdao.

Shannan East Road is bordered by Huaixi Town and Eyue in the east, Zhongwu Town and Dugi in the east, Jinshang and Shaanxi in the west, and Jingnan and Xingyuan in the south. It has jurisdiction over Xiangzhou, Fuzhou, Yingzhou, Fangzhou, Junzhou, Tang, Deng, and Sui, and has eight states.

In the early years, Yu Cong, Li Fu and Liu Jurong all served as the marshals of this town.

Liu Jurong is also a general, who once attacked Huangchao together with Cao Quanyan and Cui Yunqing, defeated Huangchao in Jingmen, and beheaded 80,000 thieves. However, Liu Jurong, who was the envoy of Jiangnan West Road and Zhennan Army at that time, proposed to take advantage of the victory to attack the thief, and said: "The Li family in the imperial court has many negative people, there are dangers, they don't cherish the official reward, and they forget about it when things are peaceful, it is better to keep the thief and make land for the rich." Liu Jurong's self-respecting practice of raising thieves finally made Huang Chao escape, and finally made a comeback and ran rampant all over the world.

Like the former famous general Gao Biao, Gao Jurong later had no intention of killing thieves, but became obsessed with alchemy. He recruited an alchemist named Shentu, who spent his days obsessed with smelting gold. Although he led the important town of Shannan, there was no big move to crusade against Huangchao. Up to now, he is getting older and older, and he has been repeatedly defeated by the rising star Zhu Wen, and has captured half of Shannan Dongdao, and now he is guarding Xiangyang City, which is simply passable.

Qin Zongquan turned out to be a neighbor with Liu Jurong, he looked down on Liu Jurong very much, and had long coveted the territory of Shannan Dongdao. Now that there is such an opportunity, Li Jing openly supports them to fight Shannan. How could he not be moved, Zhu Wen, who controlled half of Shannan Dongdao, was too busy to take care of himself at this time, and Liu Jurong, who controlled the other half of Shannan Dongdao, was still thinking about turning stones into gold all day long.

Take Shannan Dongdao, wave troops to the south, and go south, but it is a rare peaceful place under the wars in the Central Plains in recent years, Jingnan, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Eyue, which are all grain producing areas, and they are traditionally weak places with few soldiers and weak troops.

can really seize this area, this is like Jingzhou at the time of the Three Kingdoms, who can control this area, it is really Wuyue in the south, Shu Han in the west, and the Central Plains in the north!

Almost without any hesitation, the Fourth Army Corps quickly reached an agreement and immediately established the Shannanxing Battalion and Shannanxing Province.

"Pass the order, tomorrow the fourth watch will make rice, the fifth watch will set off, send troops to Tangzhou, and attack Xiangyang directly!" As the commander of the camp, Shang Rang waved his head and gave the command!
