"There's good news and there's bad news." Gongsun Lan said and walked to Li Jing's public room in the Yuan Shuai Mansion, at this time, it was just seven o'clock in the morning, Li Jing was sitting at the table, one hand flipped through the newspaper news sent from behind him and half a month ago, and the other hand was holding a cup of hot milk.
"Bad news first!" Li Jing said.
"The coalition forces seem to have made up their minds not to evacuate at this time, and the Yang Fuguang brothers have decided to support the current seventh brother of the emperor, Shouwang Li Jie, as the new emperor, the new emperor is very likely to ascend the throne on New Year's Day, once the new emperor ascends the throne in Chang'an, the alliance of the Yang Fu brothers will be more stable. OIOS anticipates that once a new dynasty is established, it will likely expand outward. ”
"The coalition forces are dragging their feet and refusing to leave, and it seems that it is possible to know that the Yang brothers want to help the new emperor ascend to the throne. However, there is intelligence that the direction of Yang Fuguang's brother's new dynasty expansion will be our Qin Domain? ”
"It is very likely that although Tian Lingzi is in Xichuan, there is intelligence that the Yang Fuguang brothers are not ready to deal with Tian Lingzi first. We, the intelligence officers of Chang'an, have received some information that Yang Fuguang's new imperial court will be supported by the alliance of twenty-eight feudal towns. Among them, the strongest are the several feudal towns in Guanzhong, Henan and Hedong. Even Wei Bo and Chengde in Hebei. Now they are already in secret contact with the Yang brothers, and they are very frequent, and it is clear that they are also ready to join the new dynasty established by this alliance of the Yang brothers to fight us. Also, even Gao Biao in Huainan, Zhou Bao in western Zhejiang, Zhong Chuan in Jiangxi and several other southeastern feudal towns are also actively being wooed by the Yang brothers. There is a great recognition of allegiance to the new imperial court. ”
Li Jing shook his head, "It seems that Tian Lingzi has been really unpopular all these years." ”
"In a way, King Qin, you don't really win the hearts of these feudal towns." Gongsun Lan said with a smile, today she wore a navy blue shirt that was lighter than blue and darker than green, it was a new-style general's robe with a small lapel placket and double-breasted, with a ribbon on it, and several medals for performing major tasks pinned to her chest, as well as two military merit medals for Ying Yang and Hu Ben, and an outstanding medal. On the golden epaulettes on his shoulders, he holds the title of two-star major general with two golden beans. This military dress made her look more neat and capable. Although the lower abdomen was slightly bulging, it did not affect the female general's sassy and heroic posture at all.
"The feudal towns have only two attitudes towards us right now. Either cooperate or hostile. Because they clearly know the Tao of the Tao, the expansion speed of the Qin Domain today, many feudal towns also choose to cooperate, such as Huaixi, Zhexi, Fujian, Lingdong, Lingxi, Annan Towns, their own strength is not strong, and they have been cooperating with us for many years Several family members as marshals, they have shared a lot of benefits in our trade over the years, especially sea trade, they have made a lot of money, there is no reason to work against us all the time. And those who followed Yang Fuguang really did not have a good relationship with us, which is also due to interests, they can't share our interests, and especially the feudal towns of Hebei, Henan and Longshang are directly facing our threat. It is precisely because we are too strong that those who are facing us but are unwilling to give up their existing interests will inevitably go to the side that is against us, which is inevitable. ”
"Aren't you worried?" Gongsun Lan put her hands on her lower abdomen, "In case Yang Fuguang really wants to send troops to the Qin Domain, it will be a little troublesome for us right now." Although there are still a lot of troops in the pass, they may attack from several directions. For example, the towns of Guanzhong attacked Daibei from the direction of Zhenwu, Li Keyong and Wang Chongrong and others might attack Yanmen, Wei Bo and Chengde might attack Beiping, while Zhu Quanzhong and Zhuge Shuang might attack Shandong, Qin Zongquan and Zhou Qi might attack Henan, and Gao Biao might attack Jianghuai."
"It's really possible!" Li Jing frowned, the time when the original feudal towns fought separately had long passed, and now it is the era of the alliance of feudal towns, and the Central Plains can basically be divided into three major feudal towns, Tian Lingzi's Chengdu Imperial Court, the Chang'an Imperial Court that Yang Fuguang's brothers are about to build, and Li Jing's Generalissimo Mansion, each of the three major forces has an alliance.
Tian Lingzi is mainly based on Sanchuan, and there were originally many feudal towns, such as eastern Zhejiang, Huainan, western Zhejiang, etc., which also listened to the Chengdu imperial court, but now, together with the Yang family, there are only three rivers left in the small imperial court of Chengdu. And the Yang brothers, with their merits in exterminating Huangchao, are now extremely prestigious, and they have attracted more than 20 feudal towns in the Central Plains, and even Gao Biao, which has long been outside the imperial court, and even feudal towns like Hebei have also been brought over. They occupy the Guanlong region of the Central Plains, with the largest territory and the most alliance towns.
On Li Jing's side, there is actually an alliance, but this alliance is not strong except for the Qin Domain, and it is very scattered, and the alliance is a little loose. The three towns of Henan, which were originally relatively close, have been merged by Li Jing. The remaining Huaixi Yang Xingmi and Zhexi Qian Biao, these two feudal towns are only an exchange of interests, not reliable, if the Qin domain is still strong, they will definitely continue to obey. If the Qin Domain loses, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not betray, or even fight back. As for the four towns of Fujian, Lingnan East and West, and Annam, the relative relationship is relatively solid, but there is also a shortcoming, they are all in the far southeast, and they are all the kind of feudal towns with small strength and few troops, and it is almost impossible to count on them to help them in the event of a war.
Li Jing is not afraid of the towns, but the battle of the Bohai Sea is not over yet, and if the towns really besiege it en masse, it will be very troublesome.
"The power of the Yellow Nest has been completely wiped out?"
"Huang Chao is dead, but the pseudo-Qi power can't be destroyed so quickly." Gongsun Lan said, "After the battle of Chang'an, a large number of Qi generals in Chang'an, such as Shang Rang, Meng Kai, Zhao Zhang, Wang Bo, and Zhang Juyan, fled. Zhu Asan and Qin Shouquan encountered the defeated and fleeing Qi army. The two armies fought. Surprisingly, Qin Zongquan was defeated in the first battle, and Zhu Asan retreated, letting go of a way and letting them escape from Guanzhong. ”
"Hmph, it's just a move by these two guys to preserve their strength, who wants to fight with the trapped beast and lose their own soldiers and horses?" Li Jing sneered. Pinching his chin, he said with some amusement: "In this way, the defeated army of Pseudo-Qi should still have a lot of momentum." ”
"Indeed, after the defeat of this army has come out of the pass, all the way to the east, and the towns have retreated to the towns, avoiding without a fight, and allowing them to plunder and flee eastward. At present, this defeated army has fled to Caizhou and Gwangju, which is the territory of Qin Zongquan, it seems. Did they continue eastward through Chen Xu to Yinghao. It was originally the territory occupied by the pseudo-Qi, and many soldiers and generals were recruited from the Qi army. But there is also a possibility, they may go directly south to the Dabie Mountains, where is the continuous Dabie Mountain Range, if they escape into it, it will be difficult to exterminate for a while, especially the Dabie Mountains are located in the three towns of Zhongwu, and Shannan, Eyue, Jiangxi, Huaixi, Hunan, Jingnan Towns of a confluence area, belongs to a chaotic area, if they enter it to rest, they can greatly avoid the encirclement and suppression of the towns. If I were the chief general of this defeated army, I would not go east, but go directly to Dabie Mountain, and after resting, I would go south to Eyue, Jingnan, Jiangxi and other places in the spring of next year, and go to those places where the strength of the officers and troops is the smallest. Back then, the Yellow Nest was repeatedly suppressed, wasn't it just because of their wandering. ”
"I think this force is usable."
Gongsun Lan was a little surprised, "San Lang, today's pseudo-Qi remnants are extremely unpopular, everyone shouts and beats them like rats crossing the street, if we have a relationship with them at this time, I am afraid that the Yang Fu brothers will have more excuses to send troops to us." ”
"Hmph, the Yang brothers really want to send troops, sooner or later, no matter whether they have a legitimate reason or not, if there is no reason, they will also find a reason. Now that we are going to see the poor with the Yang brothers, why should we care too much about that? In the past few years, the pseudo-Qi has indeed degenerated, but the results of several battles of Chang'an, you have also seen, they have repeatedly performed remarkably, although there are certainly reasons why all feudal towns are preserving their strength and are unwilling to exert themselves, but it cannot be denied that these grass thief generals have led soldiers for many years, and there are indeed a few outstanding characters. They are indeed like rats crossing the street now, everyone shouts and beats, and they are very depressed. At this time, if we can reach out and commit to protection and support, do you think they will cooperate with us? ”
"San Lang didn't mean to recruit them?"
"It can be regarded as Zhao'an, but I don't plan to let them come directly to our territory, so this Zhao'an is actually us to raise support to them, but we will not annex them, let alone disarm them, so at the beginning, we can save a lot of suspicion and cooperate directly."
"Cooperation? It's not Zhao'an, it's not annexation? ”
"It's really cooperation, and it can be regarded as Zhao'an, but it won't be annexation." Li Jing explained with a smile, "Didn't you say that there are still forty or fifty thousand people in the defeated Qi army? ”
"Yes, there are still forty or fifty thousand people, of which there may be twenty or thirty thousand veterans."
"I will give them an order to recruit them and grant them official positions, but they will not annex or disarm them, they can continue to stay in Cai Shen and other places in the upper reaches of the Huai River, and we can use the Dabie Mountains as a base, and we can send them a batch of grain, grass, and ordnance through the Huai River to support them."
Gongsun Lan was a little puzzled and didn't understand the significance of Li Jing's move.
"Look at the location of Caizhou!" Li Jing said with a smile, "This location is very good, the upstream source of the Huai River, Chen Xu to the north, Luoyang to the north, Jinshang to the west, and Chang'an in Guanzhong to the west." To the east of it is Ying, Hao, and further east is our Xu, Su. To the south, is the Dabie Mountain Range, there are two towns of Eyue and Jingnan, and then south is the Yangtze River, Jiangnan is Hunan and Jiangxi, the Yangtze River is here, the west can be directly connected to the east of Shannan, the west of Shannan, directly to Jiannan Xichuan, down the river, you can directly reach Huaixi, Huainan, Xuanshe, Liangzhejiang. See clearly, here extends in all directions, to the east of the Huai River, to the west of the Han River, to the south of the Yangtze River, and whether it is from Chang'an or Luoyang, it is said that it is not close, but it can be said that it is not far away. Especially here is Dabie Mountain, which is definitely a good place to stand, especially the nearby feudal towns are not too strong, Qin Zongquan of Caizhou is entangled with the Qi army, Jingnan and Eyue have been attacked by grass thieves several times a few years ago, and their vitality has been completely damaged. ”
"As long as we support him, they will be able to stabilize the decline and recover their vitality, and then, think about it, will Yang Fuguang's rear be eroded? Jingnan, Eyue, Huaixi, Jiangxi and other places, although the military strength is not good, but this is Yang Fuguang's granary, rice bags. The Qi army is here to follow, not only eroding their rear granary, but also threatening their Luoyang and Chang'an at any time, especially to the land of western Henan in Henan, our forces have already occupied Xusu, advanced to the Bianhe River and Huaishui, plus Yang Xingmi in Huaixi, if there is a nail in western Henan, Ying, Hao, Chen, Xu and other southern peripheries of Luoyang, it will not be guaranteed. ”
Undoubtedly, Li Jing meant to use the remnants of the Qi army to insert them into western Henan like a nail, so as to contain Yang Fuguang's alliance.
Of course, this alone is not enough, Li Jing thought, maybe he can contact Shimoda Lingzi, now that the Yang Fuguang brothers are their common enemies, they may be able to join forces. There should be something he can do, or he should send troops to go deep into the towns of the enemy territory to create incidents, such as assassinating Li Keyong as Zhu Wen's subordinate, I heard that Li Keyong has always looked down on Zhu Wen. Or, directly kill the Yang Fuguang brothers, in this way, the alliance will have no leader, and it will definitely have to be chaotic for a while. Li Jing had many preliminary plans in his mind for a while, but these plans were not yet mature, and he did not say them.
"You just said there was good news, what was it?" Li Jing changed the subject.
"The good news is that under our secret planning and promotion, now in the Bohai Occupied Area, those Bohai nobles and heroes have been instigated, they are recruiting people and horses, ready to fight bravely against those tribal soldiers who want to "cut the grass and eradicate the roots" against them, and many of the people of Bohai have also been instigated, especially in those places we control, now there are countless Bohai nobles who have become our internal response, countless Bohai people have become our guides, and even we have a huge number of Bohai transport teams, and a Bohai Naval Regiment that enthusiastically joined the army. Gongsun Lan said with a smile, "Of course, the good news is not only this, the major good news is that there are many generals in the tribal coalition army on the Eastern Front, and now there are many generals who have begun to waver under our rebellion, and even many have secretly surrendered to us." Even the Grand Governor of the Black Water Sect is hesitating, and the entire Eastern Front is now a little shaky. No matter how stubborn the Khitans on the Western Front were, if the Eastern Front wavered, then they would be finished. ”
"Alain, well done!" Li Jing praised.
"His Royal Highness is still strategic, especially sending those tribal armies such as the Yan Ta who have surrendered, and returning to the Heishui tribe with a part of the Qin army, this move can be said to have hit the weakness of many Yan Ya generals at once. The war here has fallen into an embarrassing dilemma, and their hometown is being threatened by us step by step, and it is inevitable that they will be shaken. ”
"Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, the people of the Yan are shaken, the people of Muwei will also be shaken, and when the time comes, the other small tribes will be shaken even more, even if the Khitan is stubborn and stubborn, we don't have to worry about them." Li Jing took the last sip of milk in the cup and said with a smile.
"San Lang, you still have some milk in your mouth." Gongsun Lan pointed to Li Jing's lips, then stood up and leaned down, approached her lips, opened her lips lightly, and stretched out her fragrant tongue to lick his lips.
"It's clean!"
Li Jing couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the place where the beauty's fragrant tongue had been licked just now, feeling that there was still a lingering fragrance.
Hehe, with a smile, Li Jing's mood was indeed much lighter. The battle situation in the Bohai Sea, the two sides have been playing for several years, accumulating countless armies and using countless materials, but the most difficult is that it is likely to be a tiger-like battle, the more people, the more difficult it is to really fight. In such a game, in fact, before the start of the war, the situation between the two sides has been clear, and the victory or defeat has been decided.
Khitans, since you want to persist in stubborn resistance to the extreme, then the only thing that awaits you is destruction. Born with the trend, those who go against the current are often crushed by the rapids.
Li Jing looked up at the window, perhaps, it was time for him to pack his bags and prepare to go home! (To be continued......)
