The weather in the north is getting colder, but the wars in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou are still continuing, but the scale has become much smaller, but it has not stopped. Tang Xian is still operating his territory. Although Tang Xian is a traitor, he occupied one of them.

The two places have reduced some heavy taxes, so that the people no longer excluded them. For ordinary people, as long as their lives are stable, everyone will rule the same.

From the perspective of the Xiaoguo Army, it is best to fight three parties without stopping. Secondly, Tang Xian won. The victory of Xuzhou Army or the victory of Yanzhou Army was extremely unfavorable to the Xiaoguo Army. The Xiaoguo Army is located in the north of Yanzhou.

Before Qingzhou was included in the system, Yanzhou was the exit of the Xiaoguo Army to the south. Therefore, neither the Xuzhou Army nor the Yanzhou Army wanted the Xiaoguo Army to break through here.

No one wants the Xiaoguo Army to be in conflict with the south, which is also the reason why Zhao Xun encouraged Tang Xian to go south. If he had participated directly at the beginning, Murong Cheng would not have fought with the Xuzhou Army, but watched the Xuzhou Army fight with him.

But he rectified his own forces in the rear and then launched a large-scale attack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Xuzhou army also sought help from Zhao Xun and said bluntly that both armies had become rebels and should help each other. Once the Xuzhou army was destroyed, the Xiaoguo army was the primary target of the imperial court. In this regard, Zhao

Xun also sneered at each other. He just replied, "What's going on with Li Yanzong?"

When Li Chi, the Xuzhou Army, heard Zhao Xun's reply, also knew that Xiaoguo Army would not lend a helping hand. After all, Zhao Xun knew about his ill-handed attacks behind Xiaoguo Army. How could Zhao Xun help him? What is the so-called mutual assistance?

Even if the entire Xiaoguo Army is killed, the Xiaoguo Army will also be cold-eyed.

To be honest, Zhao Xun had the idea of ​​mixing up the chaos in Yanzhou when he saw the chaos in Yanzhou. After all, Jizhou was connected with Yanzhou, so it was too easy to send troops. However, Jizhou was included in the system, and now it is within the Xiaoguo Army.

In reorganizing officials, and winter is approaching, it is not a good combat weather. Of course, the most important thing is that other forces may not want to intervene themselves. If one is not good, it will lead to a chain reaction, which is very likely.

It will allow the garrison to join forces to fight the enemy.

Zhao Xun naturally had no time to take care of the war in the south, and now their focus has turned to Qingzhou.

The people of Qingzhou have made great demands to implement Qingzhou in accordance with Jizhou and Lingzhou Prefecture's policies. Why can the people of Lingzhou Prefecture share the land evenly in the same state, but we can't? Why can the neighboring Jizhou be able to do it?

No? There is no such thing as marching and demonstration here, but these people organized to move towards Jizhou, Youzhou and Lingzhou Prefecture, which made Zhao Xun laugh and cry for a while.

Cao Bin simply said, I don’t care, let you go. Then he sent a letter to Xiao Guojun to ask, what should I do in this situation?

At the beginning, Cao Bin knew his ability and had no idea of ​​being independent. In his opinion, whoever is strong in the future will be attached to him. Among them, Zhao Xun is the first and the best target. Guards and Xiaoguo

After the army started the war, the Xiaoguo Army quickly captured Jizhou and surrounded Qingzhou on the east side. It can be said that Qingzhou and the three sides were besieged, because the east was the sea, and the Xiaoguo Army's naval army was still irresistible to Cao Bin.

.

During the three-party talks, Cao Bin and Zhao Xun had a discussion, and Cao Bin also expressed his willingness to surrender to the Xiaoguo Army. Zhao Xun considered at the time, and gave the southern states a stimulus, so that they could learn from Cao Bin and become independent.

The main thing is to reduce the strength of Murong Cheng and Situ Lei. Secondly, the Xiaoguo Army has just taken Jizhou and can't bear it anymore.

Cao Bin understood Zhao Xun's meaning, took over Qingzhou from Tang Xian, and soon began to clean up those old officials and prominent families with extremely bad reputations in Qingzhou. For this reason, Cao Bin was also recognized by the people.

Everyone praised Cao Bin as a good official, but then Cao Bin was a little overwhelmed. Since he was a good official, let's be better. We also need the treatment of Lingzhou Prefecture and the treatment of the people of Jizhou.

To put it simply, I am not the Xiaoguo Army, nor are I under my command. He is not that capable and implements a new policy of equalizing the field and a series of Xiaoguo Army throughout Qingzhou. Since I can't do it, I have to

Reported to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss the situation in front of him. Some of those who agreed and some of those who opposed it. The military officers naturally agreed happily that the larger the territory, the larger the Xiaoguo Army would be, the higher their seats would be.

The more people there are. For many people, the bigger the territory, the better, but it is not.

Accepting Qingzhou, it sounds like the Xiaoguo Army has a great benefit. If you simply occupy Qingzhou, like other forces, it will naturally have great benefits. No, it should be said to be a huge benefit. Don’t forget,

The new policy implemented under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army requires a lot of tax exemption. With the tax reduction, the Xiaoguo Army's income will naturally be reduced, but the territory that the Xiaoguo Army wants to govern has become larger and the expenditure has also been greater.

Secondly, if Qingzhou surrenders, the original government troops will naturally need to be reorganized. Those who are qualified will naturally be included in the Xiaoguo Army military system, and those who are not qualified must be properly placed. These people are soldiers and if they are left outside, they will easily cause trouble.

After all, I am used to being in the army and I am not used to it after leaving the team for a while. Even life may be a problem.

To take over Qingzhou, we must conduct a thorough investigation of the situation of Qingzhou prefectures and resettlement of homeless refugees. Don’t forget that the previous few months of war were all in Qingzhou.

It can be said that accepting Qingzhou actually added a great burden to the Xiaoguo Army. Of course, whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, he always welcomes Qingzhou. After all, this is a state, so it is not necessary.

The battle will be obtained automatically, how can we not? Civilian officials, especially the Land and Household Registration Department, Finance Department and other officials, did not agree to take over immediately, but waited until Jizhou was stable before taking over.

At the end of the discussion, even Zhao Xun was a little confused. Finally, Li Huaiyuan, who was stationed in southern Jizhou, wrote back, saying that Murong Cheng, Situ Lei and others in the south worked hard to obtain territory, but now they got it out of thin air. Why did they hesitate? The rise of the former lord

What is the day compared to today?

Zhao Xun then made up his mind to take over Qingzhou now, but he had to go step by step and annex the palace. Yes, the day when he started his family in the past was much harder than the situation today, and he could hold on. Why did he stay today?

No? The longer the time, the disappointment of the people, and Qingzhou is in chaos. Now, although it is a little harder to take over Qingzhou, the Xiaoguo Army has no war. If you bear it, you will pass. In the future, Qingzhou will definitely be its own stable rear.

Zhao Xun made the decision, and naturally the people below would not have to deny it. The Xiaoguo Army immediately took action and gradually advanced from Jizhou to the east, occupying one county and one government. Wherever they went, they took over the local government and implemented a new policy.

The army that Cao Bin deliberately placed there began to be reorganized. Although some people were dissatisfied, they reported to Cao Bin and asked Cao Bin to resist the Xiaoguo Army, Cao Bin was indifferent. As for this, everyone in Qingzhou knew that Cao Bin had already turned around.

Xiaoguo Army. The famous families and prominent families in various prefectures and counties either leave with their own property or wait for the arrival of Xiaoguo Army. They also know the policy of Xiaoguo Army, and the fields must be divided equally, but their property is still their own.

It's gone, you can do business. I don't know how many caravans there are underground in Xiaoguo Army, and how much money they make...

When Tang Xian from Yanzhou heard that the Xiaoguo Army began to attack Qingzhou, and the Qingzhou Governor Cao Bin gave in, Tang Xian was stunned for a while, and finally just cursed him secretly, and there was no movement. Not only him, but

After Murong Cheng, Situ Lei and many people learned about this news, they couldn't help but curse secretly.

It is said that after hearing the news, Murong Cheng and Situ Lei got furious in the mansion. Especially Situ Lei, his son was killed by Qianniuwei under Zhao Xun's name. He wished Zhao Xun died early, but now, he can hear that

But it is the news that Zhao Xun is getting stronger and stronger. How can he not become popular?

Murong Cheng was the same. He had no son died at the hands of Zhao Xun, but his two guards were out of control because of the Xiaoguo Army. He hated Xiaoguo Army and Zhao Xun to the core.

Seeing Zhao Xun getting stronger and stronger, he naturally had no good mood. If it weren't for Jiangzhou, Jiaozhou would have gone north except for the unusual situation, Murong Cheng would have gone north to find trouble for Xiaoguo Army.

No matter how others think or think, it is already true that the Xiaoguo Army annexed Qingzhou. The decline of the Dayan is also true. It is not because of the Xiaoguo Army, but because all the forces in the court's imperial edict,

The rebel traitors were eliminated. First, Xuzhou and Liangzhou rebelled, and Liangzhou was pacified. Then Qingzhou, Xiaoguo Army and the three forces of the guards became rebels, and the guard forces were changed from Tang Army to Tang Army.

At the end of October, Zhang Yan, the governor of Ningzhou, killed Ningzhou Xuanfu Envoy and more than 30 officials of Ningzhou, raised his flag and established himself, rebelled out of Dayan, established himself as Shu, and was called King Shu. For a while, the whole world was

shock!

Even Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard the news. He did not expect that someone was so bold and was rushing to rebel under the banner of Ming Dynasty. What was even more powerful was to establish himself as kings. Liangzhou and Xuzhou rebelled, and Xuzhou was in front.

But the court still took Liangzhou first. Why? One of them is naturally that Liangzhou is close to Chang'an, Yongzhou, but at that time the court was ready to move the capital due to food shortages. The other is that the rebels in Liangzhou had already made themselves kings.

The army, as kings and not kings, were different at that time. There was no two masters in heaven, and the country only needed one master. Even if you rebel, as long as you don’t become kings and emperors, there is room for maneuver. But once you are called

If the king becomes emperor, he will fight the imperial court until he dies.

I don't know what Zhang Yan was thinking. In short, he has become king and founded the country. This king is different from the title given to him. The title given to him is just a reward for his merits, but it is just a title.

At most, there are tens of thousands of households to be worshipped. But by claiming to be king by oneself, it is equivalent to establishing a country and overthrowing the far-reaching imperial court.

Speaking of which, in the Xiaoguo Army, some people wrote a letter to suggest that Zhao Xun be the king, but Zhao Xun refused without hesitation. Just kidding, be the king? Then wait for the attack of the princes in the world. There was no action, and he was criticized.

here we go.

Before the court could react, King Zhang Yan of Shu began to win over Yizhou officials and use high-ranking officials to attract them. It’s true that many officials in Yizhou went to this newly established Shu Kingdom, and many of them were among them.

Soldiers of the palace.

When the imperial court received the news, the civil and military officials were immediately furious and ordered the world to announce their crimes. At the same time, the guards around Luoyang and the prefectures in Liangzhou, Yizhou and Yongzhou began to gather and prepare for a large army to conquer.

The Xiaoguo Army naturally could not intervene in the establishment or conquest of Shu Kingdom and would not intervene. At the end of October, it was already winter in Youzhou, and the five Beiding Prefectures, which went north, were even close to zero.

As always, the Guojun implemented new policies in Jizhou and Qingzhou, which was newly incorporated into the system, and rectified officials from various prefectures and counties. To be honest, Zhao Xun really didn't have much hope for the situation in Shu Kingdom. How long it could last is really a problem.

Although the establishment of Shu Kingdom may be due to the independent efforts of the Xiaoguo Army, Qingzhou Prefecture Army and Tang Army, Zhao Xun did not expect that this impact seemed to be a bit big.

On this day, Zhao Xun was thinking about chess with Situ Liang. The burning charcoal fire drove away the cold air in the house, which made it warm like spring. Chess, which was made by Zhao Xun when he was bored, and then it was by Zhao Xun's side

The officials learned it. Especially several military affairs envoys, each of them fell in love with this thing.

It's true that these military commanders such as Situ Liang, Li Huaiyuan, and some officials from various departments of the Government Affairs Department are proficient in this and often study them in their spare time. They are all experts here. But Zhao Xun, who created this

, some of this is not good.

Although Zhao Xun is still meticulous in his daily life, he really can't stabilize his chess. This is not that Zhao Xun is not capable, but that he has not caught a lot of chess since his previous life. Therefore, he has to

I admit that his level is really bad.

Seeing that he was about to lose again, Zhao Xun wanted to cheat, but he was defeated repeatedly and fought again and again. He still didn't have such interest.

Zhao Xun was also a little surprised. Just as he was about to escape, he suddenly saw Wei Dong coming in a hurry and immediately had an excuse to cheat. He kept saying: "Wei Dong ran so fast, something must have happened.

We will play chess and play chess!"

After playing the chess game, Situ Liang was serious and was not willing to do it. He said firmly: "No, no! Just a few steps, it will be done immediately. Besides, although Wei Dong's pace is fast, his breath is not chaotic, so what is there

What a big deal? Who dares to provoke my Xiaoguo Army now? Winter is coming, and there is no war in the north."

When Zhao Xun heard Situ Liang say this, he looked at Wei Dong helplessly. Wei Dong also stood aside and shrugged his shoulders and said that he could not help. In the end, Zhao Xun had to bow his head and give in.

Situ Liang then stopped, put away the chess game, and said happily: "Wei Dong, what happened? Did there be any changes in the war in the south?"

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Situ is really foresight!"

Situ Liang shook his head and smiled, "Bad foresight! Now, besides the war in the south, what big things are there? Is it the battle of Yanzhou, the battle of Xuzhou or the new changes in Shu Kingdom?"

Wei Dongchen was very big: "It's Shu Kingdom!"

"Oh?" Situ Liang was stunned, sat up and asked, "What happened?" Not to mention Situ Liang, even Zhao Xun listened with his ears. In their opinion, this so-called Shu Kingdom will definitely not last long.

Wei Dongdao: "Zhang Yan, the King of Shu, issued an announcement ten days ago, and sealed the forces in the world!"

"Transfer the feudal?" Situ Liang and Zhao Xun looked at each other, deeply puzzled.

"Wait! Enfeoffment? What right does Shu have to enfeoff the forces in the world?" Situ Liang asked seriously.
