Thank you brother Iron Man and Han for your rewards, thank you under the Dragon Sky, I am the poor man, Oleia, Ao, listen to books every day, Saxony Coburg, Zhou Xingbuddai and other brothers' monthly tickets to encourage you.
The military discussion at the Yan Prince's Mansion was the highest decision-making meeting of the General Administration of Military Staff. Even a giant like Gao Mingbo, one of the "Four General Managers and Two General Managers" in the army was a little inconvenient in front of Zhang Xingzhong, Jiang Miao and Zhou Kan. It was not until these major policies that concern Lu Long's fate were discussed that it was Gao Mingbo's turn to report.
From the third year of Tianfu to the first year of Tianyou, it was a period of large-scale expansion of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Hundreds of secret invaded the Central Plains in the name of merchants, rangers, monks, and defeated soldiers. They had established dozens of reliable and stable intelligence accounts in Hedong, Henan, Xichuan, Fengxiang, Huainan, Wuyue, Jingnan and other places. A large amount of information was fed back to Youzhou. After internal analysis and comparison of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, they were placed on the desks of Lu Long and a group of senior officials. It can be said that no one in the world has such a clear understanding of the situation in various places like the senior officials of Lu Long.
These intelligence and information subtly influenced the decision-making circle of Lu Long's army and provided decision-making basis for the top leaders. The simplest example is that the strategy of Lu Long's army's "Ship Fighting in Two Rivers" was largely influenced by it.
Today's military discussions were all night long, and the second half was almost the stage for Gao Mingbo alone. He focused on introducing the situation of various vassal states in the recent past, and each of them was involved.
Hedong attacked Jinzhou with all his might and gained the upper hand!
Fengxiang began to reorganize his military strength, with a preliminary estimate of around 30,000 people, which restricted Xichuan's northward encroachment!
Xichuan dispatched 20,000 troops to Shannan, with a faint meaning of pointing at the Central Plains. Xuan Wukang Huaiying was in charge of Shanzhou and was urging supplies to prevent Xichuan!
The Zhao brothers in Jingnan showed their power in Dengzhou. In one battle, they defeated Du Hong, Ma Yin, Lei Yanwei, and Du Hong were given the title. Ma Yin fled to Henan. Lei Yanwei was fled to the east and surrendered to Huainan. A new separatist force appeared in Jingnan, and the world was shocked!
Because the Zhao brothers released enough kindness to Huainan, King Yang Xingmi of Wu was able to withdraw troops. Li Shenfu and Wang Maozhang each unified the army and stationed in Shouzhou and Chuzhou respectively, which actually meant to be an expedition in the north!
Without Lu Long connecting, the vassal states in the world consciously or unconsciously formed a joint attack on Xuanwu! This series of news came out of Gao Mingbo's mouth, which made Li Chengzhong and others very excited.
Zhang Xingzhong couldn't wait to ask: "What happened? Isn't Xichuan Wang Jian an ally of Zhu Quanzhong? Why did he enter Shannan? Someone knew about the Zhao brothers' reprimanding in Jingnan, but he didn't know that they would decide Jingnan in a battle. Now there is a hard life for Zhu's children! Hehe! By the way, what happened to the King of Wu? He just reached a secret agreement with Zhu's children last year. Why did he turn against him? It seems that the King of Wu and his nephews in his family are responsible for the responsibilities of Xuan Wu? He doesn't care?"
Gao Mingbo said: "The King of Shu used the banner to help King Liang to quell the rebellion, saying that he wanted to attack the Zhao brothers for King Liang, but everyone in the world knew that once the Xichuan soldiers entered Shannan, it would probably not be so easy to withdraw. As for Huainan, he was not very familiar with it. However, we sent to Xuanzhou to give detailed returns. In September, Zhu Yanshou and An Renyi rebelled, and later worked together to wipe out Huainan general Wang Maozhang and Li Shenfu. The Bureau of Investigation and Statistics speculated that this matter may be related to Xuanwu..."
...
Jiangzhou, temporary travel.
King Liang had a blue face, his eyes were staring like a copper bell, and he looked at the people in the hall, and his solemn intention was soaring into the sky.
A man lay down from the hall, his limbs trembled and he kept kowtowing, but he couldn't say a word.
After a long time, King Liang finally hummed a strong turbid air from his nostrils, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Drag it down and chop it!"
Two soldiers rushed forward like tigers and wolves and dragged the people under the hall out of the hall. The man wailed, but he didn't even have the strength to defend himself, so he was pulled to the door and beheaded directly.
The matter involved Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui. No one under the tent of King Liang dared to plead with mercy. Jing Xiang and Li Zhen, who had always praised Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui, stood up with their heads down and did not touch King Liang's bad luck.
For some reason, Yuan and Jiang actually took Xiong Xinbao's courage. In order to seek some personal wealth, they dared to make arbitrary claims and provoke civil strife in Huainan. If they really did, it would be fine, but Zhu Yanshou and An Renyi both died in Xuanzhou. Not only did they fail, but the King of Wu knew the inside story. Now that the alliance that Liang and Wu had just reached for a year have been completely torn down, the Huainan troops have already been stationed in northern borders and may directly attack Xuanwu's hinterland at any time. At this difficult time, how can Xuanwu deal with it?
Jing Xiang lowered his head and thought in his heart whether there was any other inside story. After a while, he wondered whether the reason why Yuan and Jiang were so arbitrary was that their self-confidence was expanded due to their excessive praise for them before?
Li Zhen felt guilty and was anxious. After thinking about the matter, he quickly sent someone back to Bianzhou and quickly returned the two boxes of gold crusts to Yuan and Jiang. In any case, he had to quickly clear the relationship.
Everyone was waiting for King Liang to decide on Yuan and Jiang, and for a moment, the hall was silent.
After the King of Liang was alone in the case of Zheng, his forehead was bulging. Although he killed this confidant Yuan Xiang, who was sent to Huainan to raise trouble, he could not suppress his anger. In fact, this matter should be put on weekdays, and it doesn’t matter if the situation fails. King Yang Xing of Wu turned against him secretly. When was Xuan Wu afraid of Huainan?
But it is different in front of me. Since the prince ran to Youzhou, not only did he fail to achieve his long-cherished wish to use the emperor to command the princes, but he caused indignation among the vassal states in the world. Looking around Henan, Lu Long, Hedong, Pinglu, Fengxiang, and Jingnan are all his enemies. Wang Jian, who once thought his iron ally, was ready to move. In addition, Huainan, how can King Liang not have a headache? No matter how fierce a tiger is, it cannot withstand the wolf biting, right?
Damn Yuan Xiangxian, Damn Jiang Xuanhui, how good you can pick the time!
King Liang wanted to make up his mind to deal with Yuan and Jiang, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't do it! Yuan Xiang was his nephew first, and he had always been good at pleasing himself. Yuan was also a wealthy family in Songzhou, and was an important pillar for supporting him. After Yuan Xiang was moved, he would not be able to get along with his relationship. Just whether the wealthy families in Henan would still support him, he had to think about it again. As for Jiang Xuanhui, he was his hometown party and a good brother who had been following him in the army since he was young. If he really wanted to kill him, how could he explain to his old subordinates?
On the other hand, I thought about it again, putting aside the selfish desires of the two of them for money and inciting civil strife in Huainan is not a big deal. If it were the first two years, it would even be considered as a merit. However, now is really not the time!
King Liang was repeatedly confused in his heart. In fact, he no longer wanted to pursue Yuan and Jiang. Everyone in the hall slowly realized this thought. Jingxiang and Li Zhen were thinking about how to help Yuan and Jiang turn things around. Zhu Youning, the governor of Jianwu Army, interjected, said: "King Shu, in fact, this matter is not a serious crime. If Huainan dares to raise troops, we will wipe it out. King Shu doesn't have to blame them too much. I thought that they were probably just for money. I heard that these two were good at making a living when they were in Hebei and had many war horses for us. King Shu Nian was the one who made contributions to them, so he spared their experience."
As soon as he said this, Jing Xiang and Li Zhen were shocked and thought that the Zhu family's nephews were indeed cruel and ruthless people. They didn't know where Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui offended Zhu Youning, but were actually injured by this person.
Sure enough, King Liang rushed to the scene and planned to forgive Yuan and Jiang, but after hearing this, his face darkened. Zhu Youning's words sounded like excusing Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui, but in fact, it was a reminder to King Liang that these two guys had communicated with Lu Long in private in order to make money. This time, the instigation of the civil strife in Huainan might have something to do with Lu Long!
King Liang said in a muffled voice: "Stop talking about these things that make things happen!"
Zhu Youning bowed and replied, "Yes."
Jing Xiang and Li Zhen sighed in their hearts that Yuan Xiangxian and Jiang Xuanhui are going to suffer today.
King Liang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these matters for now, let's talk about how to deal with the current situation first. Xingxu, you can talk about it first."
Li Zhen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "The situation is indeed a bit dangerous now, but we cannot be in chaos. Although Yang Xingmi in Huainan is the intention of a northern invader, he thought it was not an urgent task. Huainan had few soldiers and fought against Xishui again. If it was indeed a northern offensive, we only need to let General Kuanren and General Juncai take strict precautions."
The ability of Yang Shihou and Li Hui to command troops has been proven in the battle of direct attack on Xuanzhou last year. The two have now become the commanders who can stand on their own in the Xuanwu army. Li Zhen said that they can withstand the attack of the Huainan soldiers, which is not a false statement. This is a public opinion recognized by everyone in the ritual hall.
"In addition to the soldiers coming to stop, we also need to know that Huainan has been in a bad relationship with Wu and Yue. The two sides have been fighting for nearly ten years, and their hatred is no less than that of us and Hedong. You only need to write a letter from Your Highness and send it to Qian Xiao to attack Huainan together. I believe that Qian Xiao has no reason not to agree. Even if Qian Xiao does not really send troops, we just need to spread this matter. After Yang Xingmi finds out, he may not dare to launch troops to attack north. In this way, Huainan will have no worries."
"Let's talk about Ziqing. With General Tongmei in Yanzhou, the Pinglu army would not have the opportunity to move forward. The only thing to worry about is the Lulong cavalry. A few days ago, the cavalry we sent to Ziqing were defeated, but this is not a crime of war because of few attacks and many attacks. Just inform General Tongmei and gritted his teeth for three months. After the next batch of war horses in Qinzhou grow, the situation in Ziqing will be greatly alleviated." Tongmei is the face of Ge Congzhou. Ge Congzhou's military talent does not need to be explained. He can lead the troops to entrust the side.
"As for King Jian of Xichuan, I thought it would be better to let him go to Shannan to fight with the Zhao brothers. The key now is not Shannan, Ziqing, Guanxi, and Huai and Si. The land of the Three Jins has been a prominent place since ancient times, and has the world's victory. As long as one battle determines Hedong, our Xuanwu can achieve advancement, attack, retreat and defend, and the rest of the vassals are no problem."
