Luoyang City, the former capital of the Great Yan Kingdom. The city fell silent because of the Zhao army besieged the city, and now the lively scene has finally appeared again. The various policies of the Zhao army and the Zhao army's army that never disturbed the people also made the people who had been worried for a long time begin to

Becoming active, the merchants in the city also began to act, and shops in each city also began to reopen.

Because all the old dynasty officials in the city were moved to Youzhou City, most of the fewer people in the city were doing things wrong. In addition, the soldiers who were patrolling the city of Zhao army changed the appearance of the city.

Although the entire Dongyongzhou became nervous because the army of southern princes gathered in Nanyang Prefecture. Seeing that the Zhao army did not move or panic, the people, merchants and the big clans in the city also stabilized.

With the continuous arrival of the merchants of Zhao State, the entire Luoyang land also returned to the former capital of the Great Yan State.

At this moment, in the former Luoyang Palace and the current Zhao army generals gathered together in the headquarters of the Zhao army.[

"Nanyang Prefecture has gathered more than 100,000 troops. Although it is just a coalition, it is not a mob." Zhao Xun glanced at the generals and continued, "Previously, you all thought that the army of the southern princes was the battle of Dongyongzhou.

But so, what about now? Still think so?"

"Don't underestimate any princes. Most of these more than 100,000 coalition forces are still the weakest troops of the Hanzhong and Luoyang kings. The Qi army and Shu army have not yet dispatched large troops. Therefore, you must warn them carefully.

The generals and officers, remember that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Don’t underestimate any opponent because of a victory.”

Since he beat the generals, he naturally had to give some sweet dates. Zhao Xun smiled and said, "I am still very satisfied with your actions in this battle in Dongyongzhou. The old officials in Luoyang City were all

Moving north, there are many vacant mansions in Luoyang City. The generals and deputy generals of each town will be assigned to a mansion. If you go down, Han Meng will send someone to tell you that you will lead to your mansions."

"In addition, the entire army has rewards, and all officials have their positions have been promoted one level. But there are still more than 100,000 troops in the south, so don't make any mistakes because of happiness." Zhao Xun explained with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness and reward!" The generals immediately said happily.

"Okay, let's go down and see your own house. If there is something that doesn't suit your wishes, go to Han Meng to count, and I will reassign you. There are many mansions in the city, and you will be satisfied.

”

After the generals left, Zhao Xun put away his smile and said to Situ Liang on the side in a deep voice: "Have the situation of the Chu army been found out?"

Situ Liang said in a narrow voice: "The Shadow Department has checked. The Chu army thought we were going to fight the southern princes in Jingzhou, so they wanted to find another way out while we were fighting with the princes. Although there was no such thing as yet.

They are officially in opposition to our army, but they are already taking various excuses to delay the incorporation into our army. In addition, they have not allowed our Zhao officials and army to enter the boundary of Xuzhou."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun's face suddenly became cold and he said disdainfully: "Want to take advantage of the situation? It seems that he really won't give up until the Yellow River. If you don't give up, they don't know the depth."

Situ Liang said: "Master, Li Hao, the son of the King of Chu, is still in our army. Should I take him down first?"

"It must be done. Since King Li Chi of Chu has his thoughts, it means that he has no longer cared about his son. Li Chi is the first among the princes in the world to raise the flag of the flag. If he cares about his son, he cares about him.

It’s strange. Li Chi is not clear about the situation of our army, but Li Hao is clear about it. Since this is the case, we will use the force of the army to force Li Chi to see that our Zhao army should not be humiliated easily.

He is not worthy of using my Zhao Kingdom as a pawn."

Afterwards, Zhao Xun asked his personal guard to pass over Li Hao.

"My minister Li Hao, pay homage to my king!" Li Hao, who was wearing Zhao army armor, said respectfully. Now, Li Hao understands the comparable gap between his Chu army and Zhao army. He dare not be arrogant when dealing with Zhao Xun at all.

Where is it? It can be said that Li Hao is now impressed by Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun looked at the prince of the King of Chu who seemed heroic and upright, and said in a deep voice: "No gifts! See you!"

After Li Hao sat down, Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice: "Li Hao, are you used to it among my Zhao army? How do you feel?"

Li Hao didn't understand what the meaning of Zhao Xun asked this, but he still said in a deep voice: "Report to the king, I am used to it in the army. The Zhao army's soldiers are strong, the soldiers are sharp, and the soldiers are strict in discipline. They can be said to be the army in the world.

The first."

"How about you, Chu Army?" Zhao Xun asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Hao was shocked. Although Zhao Xun's words were dull, he still felt something abnormal. Could it be that something went wrong with Xuzhou? By the way, he joined Zhao's army since then and began to accompany Zhao.

After the army raided Dong Yongzhou, Xuzhou's contact gradually decreased. Could it be...

Suddenly, Li Hao felt a little nervous, and he said repeatedly: "The strength of the Zhao army is far beyond the comparison of the Chu army. The two sides can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth, and the difference between clouds and mud."[

"Is that true? Do you really think so?" Zhao Xun said disrespectfully.

The more Zhao Xun did this, the more Li Hao felt something was wrong with the Chu army in Xuzhou, and he couldn't help but feel anxious: Father, father, didn't you say that you surrendered to Zhao? Did you make any trouble again?

In the past, Li Hao was still dissatisfied with the Zhao army and had the idea of ​​comparing with the Zhao army. However, as he stayed in the Zhao army and the deeper he understood the Zhao army, the more he felt that Zhao was.

The strength of the army has long since left the idea of ​​competing with Zhao Jun.

Zhao Xun looked at Li Hao whose face changed slightly and said in a deep voice: "If you think so, it is of course the best, but your father and the Chu army don't look like this. I heard that I, Zhao

The army is here to fight with the princes of the southern region, so the Chu army will take advantage of the situation. Your Chu army has disappointed me."

Li Hao suddenly felt cold all over. The thing he was worried about finally happened. He immediately said: "Wang Shangming Jian, although the Chu army is moving abnormally, I have never known it. Among the Chu army, there must be people who are greedy for power and want to

The muddy water "touched" the fish. I am willing to send letters to my father to let them understand the gap between Zhao and Chu and persuade them."

Zhao Xun said indifferently: "Is that so? Being greedy for power... You are right. Among your Chu army and your Li family, many officials are still reluctant to give up the power in their hands and want to take advantage of this to take a chance.

.Since they are so greedy for power and want to use our Da Zhao as a chess piece, then they should pay the price. What do you think?"

Without waiting for Li Hao to answer, Zhao Xun continued: "I will let you go back today. At the same time, my army in Qingzhou, Jizhou and Yanzhou will also act accordingly. I will give you time, if you want to protect your Li family.

, Then, give these people the heads." As he said, Situ Liang inspected the list of some civil and military officials who supported the Chu army to take advantage of the situation.

Li Hao took it and breathed a sigh of relief. His father and brothers were not on the list, but it also included most of the Li civil and military officials in the Chu army.

Alas... it's not tomorrow! Li Hao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If the people on the list were killed, then the Li clan would lose most of its strength. In the future, the Li clan would have no chance of turning around in Zhao State.

.Even, the Li family will decline.

"Take the roster back, how to deal with it, you can decide whether to fight or surrender. Whether to fight or surrender depends on your father, King Chu. My army will not stay for any reason. If your decision is too late, it is

, Then, Xuzhou will become the next East Yongzhou, and the Chu army will become the next Luo army." Zhao Xun said slowly.

Although Zhao Xun's tone was plain, Li Hao felt a depressing momentum that was "forced" towards him.

"I will definitely advise my father to surrender and let the Chu army surrender to the king immediately!" Li Hao said anxiously.

After Li Hao left, Situ Liang said suspiciously: "What will happen to Li Hao when he returns? Will he persuade Li Chi?"

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe not, who knows? People's hearts are the hardest to guess. However, Li Hao is clear about the strength of our Zhao army. He should know now how much Zhao army has."

.Don’t say that our great Zhao did not fight with the southern princes and Jingbei. Even if the war began, our Zhao State still has the ability to destroy the Chu army while fighting with the southern princes."

"As for whether Li Hao will persuade Li Chi and whether Li Chi will agree, this is not what we should consider. In short, the army has begun to take action. If Li Chi is confident that he can withstand the attack of my Da Zhao, then just do it.

Let's try it. I don't want to cause a full-scale war with the princes of the south at this moment, but this does not mean that this king will not fight with his Chu army."

"Situ Liang, wait for Li Hao to return to Xuzhou, let the people from the Shadow Department contact the people on the list, and tell them the mission Li Hao bears. Hum... If you dare to treat my Big Zhao as a chess piece, you should pay the price."

Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "Does the King want to fight with each other within the Chu army?"

Zhao Xun said coldly: "Is the Chu army dared to take advantage of the situation at this time really just because these senior Li members were reluctant to give up their power and could be deceived? Who is Li Chi? He can become a prince and be in the court's conquest.

How could you easily be deceived by others by protecting yourself? If it weren’t for Li Chi’s instructions, these civil and military officials of the Li family would dare to put forward these opinions?”

"So, no matter whether Li Chi is afraid of us and is persuaded by Li Hao, he will take the opportunity to remove the people on this list, or he is determined to fight, Li Chi can no longer stay. This person is too "

The treacherous and cunning, I don’t want to leave too much energy on him. That’s it, it’s better to get rid of him.”

Situ Liang nodded and said, "It's good that, at that time, the death of the King of Chu will have nothing to do with us because of internal fighting. Without Li Chi, plus the consumption of fighting, the Li clan,

It's almost time to lose. King, we can let the operation teams of Shadow Department and Hawkeye Department also dispatch to "cooperate" the actions of Li Hao and Li officials. At that time, we can take advantage of the chaos.

'Cleaning up the targets we need to get rid of. In this way, the Chu army is finished and the Li family is finished."

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Well, this is feasible, let Shadow Department and Hawkeye Department dispatch people. In addition, now our Zhao army and the Southern Princes coalition are stalemate here, which is not good for anyone. I believe that the King of Luoyang and Hanzhong are at this moment.

The king was also very embarrassed. That is to say, I will first attack the Chu army, give them some peace of mind, and let them understand that I have no intention of attacking Jingzhou now."

Situ Liang smiled and said, "In this way, no matter the King of Luoyang, King of Qi and King of Shu, I am afraid I will not be willing to continue to send reinforcements to Jingbei. The only thing I am anxious about is the King of Hanzhong. Dong Yongzhou was taken down by us, and his west Yongzhou was

The danger is even greater in the land.”

Just when the southern princes confronted the Zhao army in Jingbei and Dongyongzhou, the Zhao army took action again. The first town of Qingzhou, the second town of Jizhou, and the eighth town of Yanzhou.

Qi began to act. Suddenly, the eyes of the people from all over the world once again attracted the Chu army located in Xuzhou in the east and the Xuzhou border.[

The actions of the Zhao army not only surprised the southern princes, but also the Chu army was also shocked. The Chu army thought that the Zhao army confronted the southern princes in Dong Yongzhou and Jingbei, and would not easily start a war in Xuzhou.

But the results are much higher than their expectations.

Not only did Xuzhou receive the approach of Zhao army on three sides of land, but also in the sea to the east, the Zhao army's naval fleet also appeared in the eastern waters and moved along the Xuzhou coastline to cut off the Chu army from the sea.

Any thoughts above.

The Zhao army in Qingzhou immediately rushed to Pengzhou Prefecture and Haizhou Prefecture in the north of Xuzhou. These two prefectures were originally seized by the Tang army from the hands of the Chu army and then exchanged them for the Zhao army. Now, a large army set out in Qingzhou appeared in

Here, the northern part of Xuzhou is under tremendous pressure.

The two towns of Jizhou and Yanzhou merged together, and the troops were divided into two groups. One of them set out from the southeast of Yanzhou, attacked the Zhao army and occupied the territory of Huaiyin Prefecture, like Yuzhou, and headed straight to Jiangdu Prefecture, the southwest of Xuzhou. In this way, three groups

The army joined the Shanghai Army and went out in full swing, causing the Chu army to trap in Xuzhou.

The commander of the three armies was General Zhendong of Zhao State, Deputy Privy Councilor, and Zhongyong Marquis Li Huaiyuan. After receiving the order from Zhao Xun, Li Huaiyuan immediately waved the army. Before the Chu army could react, the three armies had already appeared.

On the border line of Zhao and Chu, they are still continuing to move towards Xuzhou.

Li Chi and others were stunned by the actions of the Zhao army. They did not expect that when Zhao State confronted the southern princes and wanted to fight, they could still draw an army of 70,000 to 80,000 to besiege them.

Li Chi and the core officials of the Chu army gathered together again. At this moment, there was no joy on their faces, and no one dared to speak easily. Now that the Zhao army is approaching, they know what they did this time

Taking advantage of the situation and robbery, I am afraid that it will not only fail, but even pay a greater price.
To be continued...
