In March of the first year of the real dragon, Hangzhou, Yue Wangfu.

Qian Biao sat in front of the study desk, his brows furrowed, worried. In the south of the Yangtze River in March, it is a good time for spring flowers to bloom and Fang Fei is gorgeous, but Qian Biao is not happy at all. Picking up the teacup, he found that it was already empty, so he called the guards who were waiting outside to serve tea. Then he said, "Has Mr. Cheng come back?" ”

"Mr. Cheng hasn't come back yet."

Qian Biao said with some irritation: "As soon as Mr. Cheng comes back, I will immediately invite him over, and say that there is something important to discuss." ”

With that, he waved the guard back, and lowered his head to study the map on the table. It was a military map, a map of the Yuan and feudal towns to be exact. There are forty-eight towns on all sides of the map, Yuanhe, that is, the year name of Tang Xianzong, Xianzong is after the Tang Dynasty, Li Tang rare lord of Zhongxing, Yuanhe, also known as the Tang Dynasty Zhongxing period. During this period, Xianzong's war of cutting the feudal domain achieved a series of victories, and the Tang Dynasty rarely regained its prestige, although the war did not solve the problem of the feudal towns, but those unruly feudal towns all surrendered, canceled the emperor and the king one by one, and resubmitted to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were a total of 48 feudal towns in various regions, which was also the general division of the Tang Dynasty feudal towns for more than 100 years after that.

However, now, most of the original forty-eight towns of Yuanhe are no longer there, many feudal towns have disappeared, and many feudal towns have been newly established.

On this map with Yuan and 48 towns as a reference, the division of prefectures and counties has long been unrecognizable.

At a glance, on this territory, the most dazzling is the Qin Domain. This feudal town, which has emerged in the last decade, has become the most powerful feudal town in today's unrivaled form. There is one of three points in the world. If it is regarded as the territory opened up by the Qin clan outside the Guan. It can even be said that it has occupied half of the country. Qin Fan is like a dragon in the northeast, ready to soar into the sky at any time. In the northeast, there was the Qin Domain, and in the northwest there was the Chang'an Imperial Court, a super power united by the central and southern parts of Hedong, the Guanlong region, the western part of Henan, and the feudal towns of Shannandong, Eyue, Jingnan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Huainan, and western Zhejiang. On the surface, Chang'an is a new dynasty. Its towns controlled even more territory than the Qin Domain.

In the southwest, there was the Chengdu Imperial Court, although there were only three feudal towns in Sanchuan left, and it was once thought that destruction was imminent.

But who would have thought that the situation would be unpredictable. In the blink of an eye, the three-legged momentum composed of the three major forces of Yanjing, Chang'an, and Chengdu has already discovered such a big drastic change in the blink of an eye.

At the time of the New Year, the Qin Domain had just reached an agreement with Chang'an, and the two sides made a truce and made peace. Unexpectedly, before everyone thought that Li Jing was going to fight Chang'an, it didn't happen, but in the blink of an eye, Hedong Jiedu made Li Ke use it when he went south to reinforce Xuanwu Festival Marshal Zhu Wen. was ambushed by Zhu Wen on the banquet in the city of Bianzhou. Now that the Hedong Army and the Bianjun are fighting endlessly, Qin Zongquan and others, who were recruited by Li Jing, suddenly attacked Shannan Dongdao.

And that's not even messy.

What surprised him the most was. At this time, Yang Fuguang of the Eastern Capital finally made a move. It's just that he neither sent troops to help the Hedong army besiege Bianzhou, nor did he help the Liang army counterattack Hedong. Yang Fuguang unexpectedly a few days ago, personally led tens of thousands of troops to Shaanxi Town, with lightning speed, suddenly attacked the eastern capital Luoyang to Guanzhong Chang'an between the necessary road, but also Henan, Guanzhong, Hedong between the three places to rush Shaanzhou, this battle, Zhu Wen's brother Zhu Cun who stayed in Shaanzhou was caught off guard, Shaanxi Jiedu made Zhu Cun was killed in the city of Shaanzhou.

The town of Shaanxi was broken and more than 20,000 Bian's troops surrendered, and nearly 10,000 people were killed.

This battle was definitely beyond the expectations of most people, and after the raid blitzkrieg took Shaanxi Town, Yang Fuguang did not stop. Almost at the same time as he attacked Shaanxi Town, Yang Fugong of Chang'an also sent troops out of Lantian at the same time, directly attacked Jinshang Town controlled by Zhu Wen, and stormed Wuguan, the gate of the southwest of China.

On New Year's Day not long ago, the peace between Yanjing and Chang'an once made many people in the world think that the three major forces were enough to succeed, and Huangchao had perished, and the world might usher in a rare period of peace. But who would have expected that in the blink of an eye, all parts of the country would become a pot of porridge?

Zhu Wen killed Li Keyong, and the Hedong Army and the Bianjun fought inseparably. In the blink of an eye, Yang Fuguang killed Zhu Wen's second brother again, seized Shaanxi, Yang Fugong went out of Lantian again, and entered Shangzhou, and the Yang family attacked Zhu Wen's Jinshang Town in two ways. A few years ago, he had already taken root at Yuxi Station, and the remnants of Huangchao, who owned the four states of Haoying, Chen Cai, began to make waves again. Under the banner of Li Jing, the king of Qin, he took advantage of Zhu Wen's illness to take Zhu Wen's life and stormed the northern states of Shannan Dongdao controlled by Zhu Wen, without taking into account the friendship of his former comrades.

On the surface, Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, who was the largest feudal town in the Central Plains not long ago, has become a fat pig Ah San in the eyes of everyone in the blink of an eye.

If that's all there is to it, then the situation is still clear, and it will only be a pig-killing feast. But things are not so simple, because Chengdu is not willing to be lonely. But Chengdu's father-in-law Tian didn't come to kill pigs and share meat this time, he came to protect Zhu Wen.

Under the order of Tian Lingzi, Yang Shili personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses out of Shannan West Road, along the Han River from Liang and Yangzhou, and directly entered Jinzhou, rescued Zhu Wen's Jinshang Town Shangzhou, and protected Wuguan.

And at this time, Qin Fan was not idle. When the porridge was made in Henan, the Qin army, which had already rested for half a year, began to deploy to the border of Chengde and Weibo towns in Hebei. The Qin army and the soldiers and horses of the second town of Hebei continued to encounter each other, and more and more light cavalry of the Qin army rushed into the second town of Hebei with small forces to harass and destroy the spring ploughing of the second town of Hebei.

In this situation, Yang Xingmi of Huaixi also began to reorganize his army for war, and after obtaining the acquiescence of Li Jing, the king of Qin, Yang Xingmi began to transfer troops across the Dabie Mountain Range and march to the Eyue region. It was prepared to control the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and to take the Wuchang Army in order to occupy the upper reaches of Huaixi, Jiangxi, and Xuanshe.

Seeing this, Qian Biao really couldn't sit still.

Even Yang Xingmi moved, how could he sit idly by.

Qian Biao has always regarded Yang Xingmi as an important opponent. Relatively. Whether it is Gao Biao or Zhou Bao or Dong Chang. Qian Biao didn't take it seriously. These people are either old or mediocre, and they are already in the dark, but only Yang Xingmi, like himself, is young and strong, and they all give their sisters to Li Jing, and recognize Li Jing as a teacher, and get the strong support of Qin Fan. The two are facing each other across the river. Each according to one side. It can be regarded as peaceful, and even when Qin Fan's strength has not gone south, they can still rely on each other. But since Yang Xing crossed the border and sent troops across the river to capture the Xuanshe area, this made Qian Biao very dissatisfied.

Xuanshe Town is divided from the west of Zhejiang and the east of Zhejiang, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, only by the west of Zhejiang, its northeast is Runzhou, the southeast is Hangzhou, and the north is Yang Xingmi's Huaixi Luzhou. To the west is Jiangxi. In Qian Di's view, the three states of Xuan, She, and Chi were originally separated from Zhejiang Province. Second, it is south of the Yangtze River, and it should be controlled by him. Yang Xingmi's move is obviously a cross-line.

And now, Yang Xingmi is going to fight Eyue again, in Qian Di's view, this is obviously Yang Xingmi preparing for the future attack on Jiangxi.

Xuanxi is in the north of Hangzhou, and Jiangxi is in the west of Hangzhou, if Yang Xingmi is really allowed to develop like this, how can this Wuyue land still have his foothold?

Of course, Qian Biao also wants to change this situation, but compared to the beginning of Yang Xingmi, Qian Biao is a little constrained and not so free. Qian Biao was the deputy general of Dong Chang, and after getting the support of Li Jing, he made great contributions to Dong Chang, and even single-handedly helped Dong Chang defeat Liu Hanhong in eastern Zhejiang, and helped Dong Chang to lay down Zhedong Town, so that he could get the position of Hangzhou Assassin in the future.

On Qian Di's head, there is not only the boss of the nominal boss Zhou Bao, the naval festival envoy of Zhexi Town, but also the boss of Dong Chang, the commander of the Yisheng Army in eastern Zhejiang, and further up, there is also a court boss and a boss of Li Jing, the king of Qin.

There are too many mothers-in-law on the head, and it is not easy for Qian Bi, the little daughter-in-law. Compared with Yang Xingmi, who now controls the territory of Lu, He, Xuan, She, Chi, and Shu, Qian Biao is much worse. He, the king of Wu, the governor of Jiangnan Province, and the deputy envoy of the Yisheng Army, actually controlled only Hangzhou. Dong Chang, the guy he looked down on in his heart, relied on his hard work to enjoy the territory of Yue, Mu, Qu, Wu, Tai, Ming, Chu, and Wen in eastern Zhejiang. And even Zhou Bao, the old man of the one-eyed dragon, still nominally controls the eight prefectures of Run, Chang, Su, Hu, Sheng, Rao, Jiang, and Hangzhou.

Qian Biao once wanted to kill the two mothers-in-law on his head more than once, but he never got Li Jing's clear support and reply, and he didn't have much confidence to kill the two bosses, so he had to keep guarding this acre and three points of land, using Li Jing's limited support to desperately develop the economy. Thanks to Hangzhou Bay, with Li Jing's strong support, Qian Biao has always been on the Qin Domain's sea trade ship, earning a lot of money every year, relying on this money, constantly buying equipment from the Qin Domain, training soldiers. Although there are not many soldiers in Hangzhou, only eight capitals, and the total number of troops together is less than 50,000, they are all well-trained and sophisticated soldiers.

He'd waited too long, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

Today's wars in various places make Qian Biao unable to bear it anymore. If you don't make a move, I'm afraid you won't even be able to drink the soup.

In the evening, Cheng Ji, one of Qian Biao's five tiger generals and strategist, returned. Qian Biao immediately invited him into the study, and as soon as he sat down, he said straight to the point: "Brother Hongji, we can't wait any longer." I think the time has come, we have trained in the past few years, and now we have 50,000 elite soldiers and horses, even if they are not as elite as the Qin army, but these soldiers and horses are also pulled up under the training of the Qin army's advisory group, and there are Qin feudal standard ordnance, I think our strength is enough. ”

Cheng Ji pinched his chin and pondered, "Does the general really think the time is ripe?" ”

"The timing is coming."

"Then the general's intentions, which side do you want to choose?"

Qian Biao wants to do it, no matter which way it is said, there are only two directions. Either to the north, to fight for the area of Runsu Changshu in western Zhejiang, or to the south, to Dongchang, to fight for Yue, Mu, Ming, Wen and other prefectures. To the north, Runsu and other western Zhejiang states are obviously richer than eastern Zhejiang states. But although Zhou Bao is old, after all, the assassins of Zhuzhou under his command are also veterans, not idle people. It's Dong Chang, Qian Biao is Dong Chang's confidant and deputy. He knows best about Dong Chang's strength and details. But Dongchang's eastern Zhejiang is too far worse than western Zhejiang.

Qian Biao thought about it for a long time, and he was always a little wavering. In terms of territory, the western part of Zhejiang, which is obviously close to the Yangtze River, is better than the eastern part of Zhejiang, and Changshu is the real land of rich fishing and rice, far exceeding the coastal mountainous areas of eastern Zhejiang. But on the other hand, Dong Chang's righteous army was far inferior to Zhou Bao's Zhen Navy. In the war, it is supposed to pick soft persimmons and pinch them, but Qian Biao can't let go of the wealth of western Zhejiang. And if you can control western Zhejiang, this is not only a matter of wealth, but also control western Zhejiang, which is equivalent to having the Yangtze River natural insurance. Control the Yangtze River, and to the south, this order is better.

"Brother Hongji thinks that he will fight western Zhejiang first, Zhou Bao is old and mediocre, over seventy years old, and his subordinate generals have long had their own thoughts and scattered sand. Besides, the land of Su Chang is rich in the world. ”

Qian Biao also has another worry, that is, he is still Dong Chang's deputy envoy, if he sends troops to attack Dong Chang at this time, he will inevitably have a bad reputation as a traitor.

Cheng Ji shook his head, "I think that Zhenhai and Yisheng are the second army, although Zhenhai is scattered because of the mediocrity of the marshal Zhou Bao, but the Zhenhai Navy has fought big battles and fought hard battles. And, even if Zhou Bao can't do it, but the assassins of the western states of Zhejiang are all the generals of the Zhenhai Navy, and we really want to march into Zhenhai, but I am afraid that under the interests involved, these generals from all over the country will inevitably rise up and attack. We are in Hangzhou Badu, and there are not many small soldiers, so I don't think it's appropriate to fight them. On the contrary, it was Dong Chang, although he sat in the eight states of eastern Zhejiang, but in fact, the territory of eastern Zhejiang was basically led by the general. Even in the Eastern Zhejiang Army, the prestige of the general is also extremely high. If we attack eastern Zhejiang, Dong Chang is just another Liu Hanhong. First take eastern Zhejiang, expand the territory, enhance the strength, recruit troops, and then we can wave our troops north again to destroy the town navy. Now, the land is in the hands of the general, and it can become a foundation. ”

"However, Dong Chang is my old master, if a certain army is sent to attack, I am afraid of attracting criticism." Qian Biao is not willing to bear the reputation of an anti-bone boy, after all, he is still Li Jing's disciple and subordinate, in case Li Jing is dissatisfied with him because of this incident, it will inevitably be a big loss.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Ji just smiled slightly, "If you are just concerned about this matter, then the general doesn't have to worry." Although he is not talented, he has a strategy to solve the general's worries. As long as this strategy comes out, General Bao will not only be able to get the land of eastern Zhejiang, but also will not be criticized by the world, let alone dissatisfaction with Li Jing. ”

Qian Biao was overjoyed, "Brother Hongji, if you have any good plans, please come quickly." ”

"It's very simple, the general only needs to follow the words of so-and-so, and this and so."

Qian Biao clenched his fists and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Hongji really deserves to be the mastermind of a certain mastermind, what a wonderful strategy!" (To be continued......)
