Jingxiang came to Weizhou urgently from Bianzhou. The situation was critical and he had to do this.
When the news that Wei Boya's soldiers were defeated by Lu Long's army on the battlefield in Cangzhou reached Bianzhou, Jingxiang already felt that the situation was not good, but he did not know how serious the problem was.
The information sent by Yuan Xiangxian said that Huangfu Jun sent troops to conquer Cangzhou without authorization. Yuan Xiangxian had objected to this, but Huangfu Jun insisted on going his own way and he was unable to stop him. At the same time, Yuan Xiangxian also admitted his mistake to Jingxiang, saying that he had some hopes in his heart at that time.
He felt that it was not a bad idea to let Wei Bo and Lu Long fight, and it would be best if both sides were injured, so they did not stop it firmly. Yuan Xiangxian's attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere, which made Jingxiang think it was acceptable. Jingxiang felt that Yuan Xiangxian still dared to take responsibility.
Yuan Xiangxian's report stated that Wei Boya's army was defeated in Cangzhou and returned to Weizhou. Wei Boya's soldiers had approximately 3,000 soldiers left. In addition, defeated troops continued to return one after another. According to the combat effectiveness of Wei Boya's soldiers, since they could complete the division and return nearly half of the army.
(He concealed the troops of Cheng Gongxin and Li Gongyou), and there was no large-scale collapse, indicating that the Lu Long Army also suffered heavy losses. Therefore, Yuan Xiangxian believed that with the addition of a thousand "elites" from Songzhou in his hands, he should be able to stop the tragedy
After the victory, there is still a big doubt whether the Lu Long Army or even whether the Lu Long Army has the remaining strength to attack Weizhou.
The Xuanwu Army did not pay the necessary attention to the Lulong Army, which had experienced continuous defeats and mutinies in recent years. Jingxiang did not have much intelligence, so he could only analyze it based on the intelligence sent by Wang Chongba of Dizhou. But Wang Chongba
Without inside information, he only knew that Wei Bo's army was defeated and Lu Long's army retook the counties in southern Cangzhou.
However, Wang Chongba did capture some of Wei Bo's defeated soldiers. These defeated soldiers of Wei Bo all said how bravely they fought and how many casualties they inflicted on the enemy, but there were too many enemy troops. So Wei Bo was defeated.
This excuse commonly used by defeated soldiers could not confuse Jingxiang, but it was very useless, so he could only temporarily analyze countermeasures based on Yuan Xiangxian's intelligence.
On the first day of the year, the news of the bloody night massacre in Weizhou City quickly spread to Bianzhou, leaving Jingxiang dumbfounded. He carefully read Yuan Xiangxian's report and felt an inexplicable headache.
Yuan Xiang first said that Huangfu Jun's strength was greatly reduced after his defeat. Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Luo Shaowei joined many Wei Bo generals to counterattack. The two sides fought fiercely and blood flowed. Because there were too many Wei Bo generals who opposed Huangfu Jun, Huangfu Jun was eventually killed. Wei Bojie
After the envoy Luo Shaowei took Huangfu Jun's head, he led his troops to attack the envoy's prison. Yuan Xiangxian was forced to fight back and put out the rebels. Luo Shaowei was also beheaded by his subordinates. Yuan Xiangxian also sent Huangfu Jun's head to the horse.
Bianzhou to show his contribution.
Regarding Yuan Xiangxian's report, Jingxiang rushed to the scene with doubts. Logically speaking, Yuan Xiangxian was the nephew of the King of Liang. There was absolutely no possibility of deceiving him about such a big matter, but why did he always feel that something was not in line with his knowledge?
After the changes in Weizhou, the situation in Hebei Province changed greatly. Jingxiang could not sit still. He needed to rush to Weizhou in person to understand the situation.
Jingxiang set out from Bianzhou on the fifth day of the first lunar month, passed Fengqiu, Lingchang and entered Weizhou. Along the way, he saw many caravans heading north. Although the Shenzhou Mutual Market was closed, there was a lag due to poor information in this era.
Effect, so the food sent to Shenzhou could not stop at the drop of a hat, and was still being shipped. At first, Jingxiang didn't pay much attention, but there were too many caravans, which made him very confused, so he called Jiang Xuanhui and asked Jiang Xuanhui to go
Ask to find out.
Years ago, the King of Liang once sent an order to let Jiang Xuanhui lead his troops to march westward and enter Chang'an to prepare for the emperor. The King of Liang wanted to transfer Jiang Xuanhui to serve as the defense envoy of the capital and firmly control Chang'an. But this
The order was refuted by Jingxiang. He wrote back and told King Liang that the current situation in Hebei was very delicate and a general was needed to guard the hinterland. After Jiang Xuanhui was transferred away, Bianzhou would be completely empty.
Therefore, Jiang Xuanhui did not go to Chang'an, and his life trajectory also changed. In future history books, it is very likely that Jiang Xuanhui will escape the disgraceful record of "regicide".
Of course, Jiang Xuanhui himself would never realize that he had been swayed in the direction of his life by Li Chengzhong's butterfly wings. At this moment, he was leading troops to escort Jingxiang northward, right next to Jingxiang.
When Jiang Xuanhui left Bianzhou, he also saw busy caravans on the official road. Among them, the Jiang family's caravan was the largest, and the rest were mostly his relatives and friends. The caravan of the big grain merchant Yuan family did not take this road.
, the Yuan family is in Songzhou, they take the Bianhe River waterway, and of course they have to pass through Bianzhou. If Jingxiang went to the Bianhe River to take a look, he would probably be shocked by the continuous line of Yuan's grain boats on the river.
Jiang Xuanhui couldn't help but secretly complain, regretting that he didn't think of this. If he had known about this earlier, he would have quickly asked his caravan to take another route in the past two days.
Of course Jiang Xuanhui knew what was going on. He thought hard for a long time and still couldn't think of a good excuse, so he simply told Jingxiang that he had just found out that Yuan Xiangxian had collected these grains. As for Yuan Xiangxian's reply, that was
Let Yuan Xiang use his brain first.
So Jingxiang became even more suspicious.
Yuan Xiang didn't know that Jiang Xuanhui had done this to him. When he heard that Jingxiang had gone north, he was so panicked. He hurriedly discussed with his staff, but they couldn't think of a good way, so Yuan Xiang rushed to Shenzhou overnight.
Asked Han Yanhui for advice. Han Yanhui tried his best to make up a rhetoric for Yuan Xiangxian, and said that he would definitely restrain all the Lu Long Army departments and fully cooperate with Yuan Xiangxian.
Yuan Xiangxian was extremely grateful to Han Yanhui. He repeatedly expressed that if there was a change in Lulong in the future, or if Han Yanhui was unable to gain a foothold in Hebei, he must come to Bianzhou to join him, and he would do his best to repay him!
Yuan Xiangxian did not dare to delay, so he rode fast from Shenzhou to Weizhou all night. Over and over, more than a dozen good horses were killed on the road, which made Yuan Xiangxian heartbroken. After returning to Weizhou, Yuan Xiangxian immediately organized and recruited the people who were traveling in the camp.
Yajun, dragging the goods they had robbed from Weizhou, went south. They simply gave up on Weizhou and rushed to Wei County before Jingxiang.
Wei County is located on the Qishui River, which divides Weizhou into two parts from north to south. The eastern part of Qishui River is under the jurisdiction of Wei Bo, while the western part is occupied by the Xuanwu Army. A part of the Xuanwu Army's supplies and horses are stationed in Wei County.
About two thousand people.
After all this hard work, Yuan Xiangxian was exhausted and lost weight. Yuan Xiangxian had just slept soundly in Wei County when Jingxiang arrived at the gate of Wei County.
The cavalry sent to contact Yuan Xiangxian in advance told him that Jiang Xuanhui asked him to pay attention to how to answer the food question. It seemed that Jingxiang had seen many caravans transporting food. Yuan Xiangxian cursed in his heart, "Can't you, Jiang Xuanhui, cover up for me?"
You just told me at this time, how can I explain it to Jingxiang?
Fortunately, Yuan Xiangxian had staff around him. The staff helped Yuan Xiang think of a way, and Yuan Xiangxian hurried out of the city to meet Jingxiang.
Looking at Yuan Xiangxian who came out, looking at Yuan Xiangxian's haggard face, Jingxiang secretly praised in his heart: Who said Yuan is a dandy who only knows about food, clothing and enjoyment? He also looks very dedicated. He works tirelessly for the king's affairs. Look,
People are tired and thin, no matter how things are done, at least this attitude can be taken!
As they entered the city, Jingxiang asked questions, and Yuan Xiangxian answered.
Yuan Xiang first said that the Lulong Army had taken advantage of the civil strife in Weibo to conquer Beizhou, Bozhou, Weizhou and other places. Wang Chuzhi in the north had surrendered to the Lulong Army. Although he united with the German army to resist resolutely, the German army was too weak.
, he was outnumbered and had to withdraw. In order to prove his bravery in the battle of Jizhou, he also took out the evidence given to him by Han Yanhui - the head of Chengde General Liang Gongru, saying that Liang Gongru was killed by Lu
General Long Meng beheaded him, and he stepped forward desperately, and finally managed to snatch back Liang Gongru's head from the rebel army.
After describing the tragedy of the Jizhou battle, his eyes were red and he was about to shed tears. He said emotionally that General Liang fought bravely and died heroically. He asked Jingxiang to give General Liang a decent funeral, otherwise he would
I'm sorry for this comrade who fought together.
Jingxiang took Yuan Xiangxian's hand, patted him, and comforted him, saying that he would definitely give General Liang a generous burial and asked him not to be too sad.
When asked about the situation of the Lulong Army, Yuan Xiang first said that the Lulong Army was actually not very strong and had not many troops, but there were many foreign barbarians among them, and a large proportion of cavalry. He suggested that Jingxiang, if he could not mobilize enough cavalry to compete,
, it is better to try to avoid conquering Lulong in advance.
Yuan Xiangxian's suggestion was more in line with Jingxiang's cognition and speculation, and he agreed with it.
Then the two talked about their next plans. Yuan Xiang first said that although he had few troops, he was still willing to stay in Hebei. He had already started recruiting troops in Xiangzhou and Weizhou. When the army was completed, there would be a guard prime minister to guard the two states.
Strength. Of course, if you want to counterattack Hebei, you still need Jingxiang to coordinate and coordinate. It is best to mobilize a cavalry army. By then, you will be able to defeat Youzhou in one battle!
After hearing this, Jingxiang was helpless. If there were enough cavalry, the Xuanwu Army would have captured Hedong. Hedong has always been dominated by cavalry.
They fought so hard and never succeeded.
Jingxiang asked again. He saw many convoys transporting grain on the road. Jiang Xuanhui inquired and reported back, "Are you collecting grain?"
Yuan Xiang smiled secretly and glanced at Jiang Xuanhui next to him. Jiang Xuanhui blinked at him, which meant: Please finish your words quickly.
Yuan Xiang first poured out the ideas that his staff had come up with and replied that he was indeed collecting food because he had recruited many soldiers and needed a lot of military food.
Jingxiang sighed and said, he didn't notice it before. Unexpectedly, after your experience in Hebei, you Yuan Xiangxian is also a person who is brave enough to take heavy responsibilities. I will definitely report your matter to King Liang and put more pressure on you in the future.
You have to be ready to take on the burden.
Yuan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and felt very proud. However, before the joy had passed, Jing Xiang asked Yuan Xiang how the soldiers he had recruited were doing? How was the training? Where was the military camp? He wanted to take a look.
Yuan Xiangxian's vision suddenly went dark, and he almost fell to the ground on the spot. (To be continued.)
