"However, I will tell you here. How many weapons and armors do you buy? I hope they will use them on your soldiers, not on other tribes. If I let the officer hear it, the weapons we sold will be ours

If the enemy gets it, then, my army of hundreds of thousands of people from Da Zhao will first pacify his tribe."

Zhang Yuanjing's cold voice made everyone move, and then he echoed. He lacked weapons and equipment, so they naturally would not betray others. Besides, even if they had this idea in their minds, they would not dare to show up again at this moment.

Looking at the look of excitement that appeared on these tribes' guards, Zhang Yuanjing sneered secretly: If you want to obtain my Da Zhao's weapons, don't even think about it. What you have obtained is just captured after the battle with the Bingzhou Army. I

It is a good idea to use the weapons and armor equipment that Da Zhao cannot use. It is a good idea to exchange these eliminated materials for war horses, livestock and Turkic prisoners as labor.

"Okay, these are the main things. After each department returns, you will be ready to exchange your own or your own property for the weapons and equipment you need. Remember, that lord performed well, you

The larger the amount of weapons and armor and equipment obtained, the more complete the types and the greater the power." Zhang Yuanjing's words revealed a hint of temptation.

Sure enough, the eyes of several guards were filled with a hint of greed, and their eyes turned back and forth. They naturally understood Zhang Yuanjing's meaning, and they just wanted them to rob/plunder the northern tribes, seize their livestock, war horses and population.

The more you fight, the more you get, the more you get, the more support you get from King Zhao. At the same time, if you annex a tribe, your own strength will also increase.

"In addition, in order to commend you all your lords for your timely return to your lords, your lords decided to start trade in various departments and increase trade. I believe that you also need this very much. From now on, my Dazhao caravan will

We are constantly entering your tribes and bringing the necessary supplies to each tribe. Of course, the fur accumulated in the tribes can also be sold to our Dazhao merchant at a suitable price, and both parties will benefit."

"You guys must be very envious of my life in Dayan Country. In the future, I have something in Zhaodi, and you can afford it. However, this requires a prerequisite. That is, your tribes must follow closely.

Behind King Zhao, otherwise, I think there are still many northern tribes willing to replace you. There are also many people willing to serve my Lord and replace your position." As he spoke, his tone suddenly became cold.

Several tribal guards hurriedly expressed their loyalty to King Zhao to Zhang Yuanjing, and they also felt a little afraid of Zhang Yuanjing. A few words were made of sweet dates on one side and a big stick on the other, which made them happy and happy.

Worry.

"Everyone, since I have talked about the caravan, I will explain some things to you first, so that you can cooperate."

Du Yan said repeatedly: "Mr. Zhang, but it's okay, we will naturally obey!"

"Yes... Lord Zhang, but it's okay!" The other people also said repeatedly.

Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said, "You all should also know something about me, Da Zhao. The merchants in my Zhao area were protected by my Da Zhao government. Therefore, my Da Zhao caravan entered the territory of your land, in addition to having to trade fairly,

They must also be safe so as not to cause bad things. Of course, usually the caravans have their own caravan guards and hire escorts from escort agencies. Tell you that it is not to cause bad things.

At that time, it will be difficult to deal with."

Du Yan said seriously: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, these caravans are not welcome to enter the country, and there are no more people in the tribes.

Under Zhang Yuanjing's threats to tempt his family, all divisions began to take the initiative to attack and conquer the tribes of all the tribes in the north. It has to be said that with the support of the Zhao army, these tribes had much less concern. In addition, the Zhao army supported them at the end of last year

Some food, grass and weapons were produced, which led to the victory of various troops.

Not only that, the changes in each tribe have also begun to spread to the north. Everyone knows that the tribes that have been dependent on the Great Zhao have improved their lives now. Some goods that are rare on weekdays are now beginning to appear in various tribes in the south.

This made some tribes that were unwilling to be oppressed and ruled by Xue Nakhan all want to migrate south and rely on the Zhao army.

This situation was naturally what Zhang Yuanjing wanted to see. Not only that, he also promoted the benefits of relying on the Zhao army among various tribes and the consequences of becoming enemies with the Zhao army. In addition, the Zhao army also took turns to the north.

They began to launch sneak attacks on some tribes, forcing many tribes to begin moving north.

…………

Luoyang, Yongjun Base Camp.

Although there was an emperor in the Luoyang Palace, no one took this little emperor seriously. The civil and military officials also left. Of course, there were no fewer people left. However, these officials surrendered to each other.

Situ Lei's. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one would pay attention to them, and even the salary would be very dangerous to get. After all, the Yong army is not rich now, and the landlord's family has no surplus food...

Situ Lei was both happy and afraid of the officials left behind. Now, I am afraid that they are only bored. These officials have little ability and are still relying on their seniority all day long, and they dare not do anything, so they can support Yong Jun.

They can also show that King Yong Situ Lei is in line with the righteousness. Now, no one cares about the officials left behind who are mixed with the tyrants of the lord. But Situ Lei can only support them and cannot be driven away.

Of.

"These old bastards, I really want them to follow the late emperor." Situ Lei, who was slightly yellow in appearance, said gloomyly than before.

Lin Shucheng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to them. These officials are used to fighting each other and have no ability. You can ignore them. However, they also explained a problem. The position of the prince cannot be like this.

It was hanging. Now these idle officials are fighting. If it involves a dispute between civil and military officials of the Yong army, then it would be..."

Situ Lei said coldly: "I am not dead yet! These bastards want to die now, and they are impatient to get to the top... Why are these old guys fighting for? They are not those bastards yet

Take a move behind the scenes.”

Then he sighed again and said slowly: "You think, which of my unscrupulous sons can inherit my position? Can I complete my career?"

Lin Shucheng, Lin Shiwen and others remained silent. Regarding the matter of the prince, this was Situ Lei's family affairs. Especially Situ Lei did not show any trace of it. They would not directly interfere until they had to establish someone's intentions.

If you are a smart person, you will naturally not let yourself be in danger. Once you say something, the consequences will be unpredictable. Once the emperor and the ministers, will Shui know the successor King Yong pay attention to their talents?

Seeing that few people didn't say anything, Situ Lei also understood the truth. Then he smiled bitterly and said in a stern voice: "The death of Emperor Xuanwu is the biggest mistake of my king. If Emperor Xuanwu hadn't died suddenly, how could Murong Cheng take advantage of it?

, causing me to bear the name of regicide? If I hadn't bear the name of regicide, why would these gangsters take charge in order to stabilize the prefectures? Alas..."

After calming down, Situ Lei continued, "What do you think about the situation mentioned by the envoy from Xuzhou today? Should we join them and attack Murong Cheng?"

Lin Shiwen frowned and said, "I don't know what the Xuzhou army envoy said is true or false. It is hard to predict whether the Xuzhou army and the Qi army are conspiring with us. After all, Situ Lei is able to use the great name of conquering us."

Order other princes to gain the moral advantage. Theoretically, he shouldn't have taken action against the Xuzhou army at this time. After all, if he acted like this, he would lose his morality and lose his reputation. Not only that, he would instead make him

I'm in a bad reputation."

Lin Shucheng also nodded slightly and said, "That's true. The situation reported by the Xuzhou army is indeed unbelievable. However, it does not have much impact on whether we take action. After all, we must act in Ningzhou, Yi

The states took the initiative to attack. Moreover, after the Xuzhou army and the Qi army went to war. If they did not turn against each other, we just needed to stick to the various places. Therefore, we could reply to them and promise to join forces with them to get from the rear of the Qi army.

Attack.”

Ling Xiao suddenly said, "Prince, everyone, I think there should be Zhao Jun involved in it."

"Hmm? Let's talk about it? Why do you say that Zhao Jun is also involved?" Situ Lei's eyes flashed with divine light and said in a deep voice.

Ling Xiao said in a true voice: "Prince, if the Qi army starts war with the Xuzhou army, then we will not need to deal with the Qi army's attack. In other words, we will be idle. So, what will we do if we are idle?

What? First, counterattack the Qi army, and second, counterattack the Zhao army. However, the Zhao army captured our Bingzhou, so we counterattack the Zhao army and recovered the lost territory. In addition, the Turks were also ready to move, so the chance of our victory in counterattack was also

Great increase.”

"I think that last year, Murong Cheng got nothing, but Zhao Xun seized Bingzhou and Xiazhou, which made Murong Cheng jealous and dissatisfied. Only then could he stop his actions against us and instead conquer Xuzhou."

"In this way, we can defeat our old enemy Xuzhou, and secondly, we can also let us fight with Zhao Jun and let him sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Murong Cheng's abacus was really good, but he chose the wrong one.

The Yanzhou Army can quickly recover the old injuries of the war with the Xu Jie and support nearly 100,000 troops. However, Murong Cheng's behavior of using his ill-treasure against his allies cannot make the Yanzhou Army feel

As for any benefits, don’t think about it after the war.”

"Therefore, the Yanzhou Army immediately sold the villain Murong Cheng. While telling Zhao Jun, he pretended to join forces with Murong Cheng. In order not to let our team do something, Zhao Jun will influence them to fight against the Turks, and then put them in the fight against the Turks.

We pulled up the chariots that joined forces with the Xuzhou army to attack the Qi army."

"We have received news that the Zhao army has begun to win over the Turkic grassland tribes and is also fighting back against the tribes that surrendered to Xue Nakhan. The subordinates guessed that this should be Zhao Xun's preparation. Once we act, the Zhao army will let him rely on himself.

The Turkic tribes resisted, and counterattacked us first. Don’t forget that Zhao Xun has formed eight new guards for the town army. This is a 200,000 army, half of which are old soldiers, enough to deal with any abnormal state

Now.”

"Hiss..." Situ Lei, Lin Shucheng and others looked at each other, and were shocked by Ling Xiao's speculation. Although they were shocked, Ling Xiao's speculation was indeed extremely reasonable.

"This... is the relationship between the Yanzhou army and the Zhao army so deep? Joining forces with the Qi army to counterattack the Xuzhou army, Murong Cheng promised a lot of benefits. In addition, the Xuzhou army and the Tang army have always been worried about the Yanzhou army and Zhao army.

The army was too close to each other and joined forces to suppress it. The Yanzhou army was already full of anger. How could it give up this great opportunity?" Lin Shucheng said in confusion.

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "After that being said, the leader of the Yanzhou Army is not an ordinary person. He was able to disintegrate the alliance between the Tang army, the Xuzhou army and the former Yanzhou governor Xu Jie, and defeat him, and also obtain Yanzhou from the Qi army.

The land is a powerful master. With his ability, how could he not tell that if he joined forces with Qi army to destroy Xuzhou, what other good results would be there?"

"In addition, he gained benefits from the Zhao army, but it was extraordinary. If the Zhao army had not only problems, it affected the trade between the north and the south, I was afraid that the Yanzhou army would weaken a lot. Therefore, when the Qi army was unreliable,

Selling the news to Zhao Jun is the most beneficial to him."

Sighing, Ling Xiao said again: "I feel most puzzled, and I even have some concerns that the Yanzhou army has a deep relationship with the Zhao army, and the Yanzhou army's defense of the Zhao army is too low-level.

It is said that the Yanzhou Army has never really cared about defending the Zhao army."

"You know, the Zhao army is located north of the Yanzhou army. Although the Tang army blocked part of it, a large part of the territory is connected to the Zhao army and Jizhou. Are they not worried that the Zhao army will go down? Why is the Yanzhou army not guarding?

Zhao Jun? These are the things that are most worrying about.”

Situ Lei frowned, and was puzzled, and couldn't help but say, "Since you've said this, then do you doubt what does this Yanzhou army have to do with the Zhao army?"

Ling Xiao said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the leader of the Yanzhou Army is not an ambitious person, or that he has seen his position clearly. He is investing and waiting for the person who truly ruled the world to appear. Or in other words,

, He will completely turn to whoever accomplishes his career in the future. At this moment, he believes that Zhao Xun's Zhao army is the most powerful. Therefore, he has now begun to favor Zhao army. However, he has not surrendered in full."

Situ Lei was silent for a little while and said slowly: "Zhao Xun... It was because Murong Cheng and I underestimated him that he quickly grew stronger and could not control him. Now, he has developed to be the overlord of the seven states.

Although he named the three states himself, this is exactly the power of Zhao Xun. It is so difficult to seize the territory from foreign tribes and stabilize it. I am not as good as I am, and I am not as good as I am.

.”

"It's just the underestimation that I had at the beginning, but now it has become our enemy. But we can't suppress it as we watch him grow step by step to today. If one of my incompetent sons would have Zhao Xun, one of them would be like this.

It's so awesome, I'm content."

"Ling Xiao, what you said makes sense. The Zhao army is also likely to be involved. If the Yanzhou army is simply acting in it, I am afraid that it will only contact the Tang army, the Xuzhou army and himself."

"If Murong Cheng wants to obtain the land of Xuzhou, he still has to fight with Zhao Xun to the death, even if he is carrying the infamy of betraying his allies. Zhao Xun is not good at seeing him, but he also has to deal with the Turkic side because of his condemnation.

Therefore, let the weak Xuzhou army pull us up and divide the Qi land. What do you think should we choose? Should we take action against the Zhao army or against the Qi army?" Situ Lei said slowly.

Lin Shucheng said in a deep voice: "What subordinates mean is to attack Murong Cheng."

"Uh? Why?"

Lin Shucheng explained: "Prince, if Zhao Jun is prepared, we will not gain anything even if we act. In addition, we reached an agreement with Zhao Xun, so that we can now buy a lot of food from Zhao Xun, which also alleviates the

Because of the food shortage caused by the attack of Murong Cheng's coalition forces, once the war with the Zhao army began, it not only destroyed the promise, but also cut off the possibility of trade."

"Secondly, the Zhao army stationed nearly 200,000 troops in Bingzhou. Although it was an ostensibly forming an imperial guard, Shui knew whether he was dealing with us? And in the southern part of Bingzhou, there were about 70,000 troops.

Stationed on the border line. I am so frank that once we fight with the Zhao army again, the Zhao army in Bingzhou is likely to disconnect from our ties with Liangzhou and even conquer Chang'an. The situation in Liangzhou is not very good.

This is also caused by the Liangzhou rebellion. In addition, in recent years, the conscription and taxes on Liangzhou have been increased. Once Zhao Xun raises troops, the situation in Liangzhou will soon become chaotic."

"The most important thing is that when we attack the prepared Zhao army, we will not only not gain anything, but will also make outsiders think that we have collusion with the Turks. At that time, the infamy on us will be really hard to clean up."

"If we attack Murong Cheng, it will be very different. In the first place, we can retaliate against the besieged by Murong Cheng last year and let the soldiers vent their vent. I think the soldiers must be very motivated."

"Secondly, Murong Cheng didn't expect that he would be countered by the Tang army, Yanzhou army, and Xuzhou army and fell into a quagmire. He didn't expect that we would have the right to counterattack his rear."

"The third is that most of the areas under Murong Cheng are bordered by Murong Cheng, and the large army is very convenient to operate. Moreover, we occupy the advantage of the territory and condescending us, we can gain a lot of gains when we attack Murong Cheng. If possible, this battle may even be

It can be said that Murong Cheng's Qi army's forces collapsed in one fell swoop."

Situ Lei nodded slightly and asked Lin Shiwen and others: "What do you mean?"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "The subordinates' views are the same as Lord Lin. They also agree to attack Murong Cheng. Whether it is because of personal grudges or interests, attacking Murong Cheng is the best choice."

"Okay, the army is still stationed at two passes on the surface, but the center of gravity begins to move to Yizhou, Ningzhou and Hanzhong. But Murong Cheng, Xuzhou army and Yanzhou army must also take the lead in taking action." Situ Lei made a final decision and said in a deep voice.
