Xie Xun has read Xie Jue's letter to Feng Yu. Even if he doesn't know much about business, he knows that if everything goes well, the twelve states will be united and the Yuwen royal family will never sit idly by.
Xie Jue said, "If I were Yu Wenjing, I would not allow the twelve states to develop unchecked. There would be checks and balances. There are only two types. One is to use troops. The city defense forces of the twelve states are weak. He will hit the state garrison to attack the twelve states.
Use troops. The second is to block trade. The twelve states are rich in minerals, but the varieties of crops and cash crops are thinner than those in Jiangnan. But Jiangnan also needs the minerals in the twelve states. If trade is blocked, thousands of people will be ruined.
The vitality will inevitably arouse public anger. Yu Wenjing will most likely make Zhongzhou use troops against the twelve states. You ask Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing, and Zhou Liyu to lead 80,000 people to build grain and horse roads. They will all be repaired before winter plowing. There will be no war in the northern barbarians. In Feng
When you were talking about business with Lin Qingshan of Yunzhou, you were also talking to him about military garrison. Regardless of whether Lin Qingshan is willing to surrender to Ningzhou, we will first cause de facto occupation and slowly encroach on the twelve states. Everything will be difficult at the beginning. As long as we win
Yunzhou, the back is relatively simple."
He rarely spoke for a long time, and Xie Xun poured him a cup of herbal tea to soothe his throat. Mint was added to the herbal tea to refresh him. Xie Xun had never let him down in military affairs.
Xie Xun said, "I have already considered what the second brother said. There is no need to wait for the grain and horse road to be repaired. I plan to carry out the grain and horse road and the military horse road at the same time. Lin Qingshan is a relative of the Lin clan. If his uncle and cousin don't agree, he will not surrender.
I heard about his accent when we were suppressing bandits. Neither my uncle nor my cousin sent him a message, and he was in trouble for a while. He is the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice everything for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. I will try to persuade him. I have read
The city defense of Yunzhou is in dilapidated state. It is not suitable for Yunzhou to increase its troops and garrison it, and the city cannot support the Ningzhou cavalry."
Xie Xun stood up and walked to the desk in the middle. On the desk was a sand table map of Yanyang. Xie Xun placed the cavalry flag in Jiaozhou, "The main battlefield in the twelve states should be Jiaozhou."
When Xie Xun came back from Jinzhou, he visited all the cities in the twelve states. The magistrate of Jiaozhou also asked him to suppress the banditry. The most interesting thing is that there are 10,000 people stationed in Jiaozhou, and the mountain occupied by bandits only has 2,000 bandits.
, Jiaozhou did not need them to suppress the bandits, but the magistrate provided him with six days of food and grass and one hundred thousand taels of silver. He was the most generous magistrate among the twelve states.
Xie Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued, "Jiaozhou can rush to support Yunzhou, take care of Jinzhou, and block Zhongzhou's troops from Xizhou. If Ayu wants to be stable, Jinzhou and Jiaozhou are the main considerations.
Yunzhou is not important."
"Do you know why I am stationed in Yunzhou?"
Xie Xun lowered his eyes and did not respond.
Xie Jue said, "There is no war in the Northern Barbarians. We can allocate resources within our territory at will. Your war preparation plan is the best. But if there is a war in the Northern Barbarians, I need help from the twelve states as soon as possible. Although Yunzhou's city defense is weak, it is well connected in all directions. Yanyang Ruo
For our troops, Jiaozhou is the main battlefield, but if all the troops are deployed in Jiaozhou, it will be too slow to rush reinforcements back to Ningzhou if the Northern Barbarians start a war."
"Will the Northern Barbarians start a war?"
"The war is changing rapidly, and no one knows." Xie Jue said, "Let's be prepared. No matter how much we hate the Yuwen royal family, the Northern Barbarians will not be able to cross the front line of Ningzhou."
That night in Kyoto, Fang Chuning asked, would he kill him if he had to step on his body to get out of Kyoto? In fact, Fang Chuning was asking about the Northern Barbarians. Xie Jue saw the signal of his father's death, and saw his eldest brother pierced by thousands of arrows.
In my heart, I know that my eldest sister and mothers all died in Kyoto, and my hatred defeats my reason.
If he can even kill Fang Chuning and the Jiangnan garrison doesn't care, he swings his sword at Paoze. What if the Northern Barbarians raise troops?
Xie Jue had to admit that the night his family was destroyed, he only had hatred in his heart. He just wanted to take Xie Xun back to Ningzhou, and one day he would break through the city gate of Kyoto. The Marquis of Zhenbei had guarded the city gate for five generations, and he also wanted to Zhenbei.
The descendants of the Hou Mansion came to crush it.
He knew clearly what Fang Chuning was asking, but still refused him indifferently.
That's why Fang Chuning begged him not to let the Northern Barbarians pass through Ningzhou. If the Northern Barbarians passed through Ningzhou, it would be as smooth as a river, and I don't know how many people would have their families destroyed.
Xie Jue did not answer.
But when he knelt before the souls of Zhenbei Hou and Xie Zhang, he knew in his heart that he and Xie Xun wanted to rebel and take revenge, but they would still inherit the family motto of Zhenbei Hou and defend Ningzhou.
"It's really ironic, isn't it?" Xie Xun said mockingly, "We were forced to lose our families and our families. If the Northern Barbarians raised a large number of troops, we would have to defend Ningzhou to protect them from wind and rain. They were sitting in temples and enjoying glory, but we were
Let blood be spilled on the battlefield."
"That's very ironic!" Xie Jue asked lightly, "What else can I do?"
"So, Yu Wenjing must die before the Northern Barbarians notice the Yanyang mutiny!" Xie Xun's eyes were sinister, and he made no secret of his hatred for Yu Wenjing. "I will redeploy the defense of the twelve states."
"If the Northern Barbarians really go to war, we will not be attacked from both sides." Xie Jue said, "When you think about the Northern Barbarians raising troops to deploy troops, you only need to consider the fastest reinforcements from the twelve states."
"Second brother, do you still have extravagant hopes for Yu Wenjing?" Xie Xun sneered, "If the Northern Barbarians raise an army and he sends troops to attack Ningzhou, Yu Wenjing will be reviled by the people in the world. He even dares to kill his father. What else?
Don’t you dare?”
"You are wrong!" Xie Jue said calmly, "Yu Wenjing was able to surround and kill his father and eldest brother in Kyoto because he could mobilize the imperial army and imperial guards. After leaving Kyoto, he had no advantage. Although General Chen Ming of Zhongzhou was
Royalists, but now the military power is in the hands of Fang Chuning, who do you think sent Fang Chuning to Zhongzhou?"
"Commander?"
"Cousin!"
"My cousin ignores government affairs."
"My uncles helped the spirit back home, and the family was killed. If he really lets go, the family will become Yu Wenjing's warehouse." Xie Jue said lightly, "I hope Chu Ning goes to Jiangnan because I don't want him... I don't want him.
Don't worry about these bad things. My cousin insists on putting him in Zhongzhou, so don't blame me, he will regret it."
Xie Xun could hear a hint of cruelty in Xie Jue's indifferent tone. His second brother was very expressive in mood and anger, and it was rare to see such exposed emotions. Xie Xun remembered that before his second brother left the capital, Fang Chuning went to Jiangnan inexplicably.
The eldest brother said that Fang Chuning and the second brother had a fight.
Now that I think about it, it was the second brother who deliberately made Fang Chuning lose his popularity. From the beginning to the end, the second brother did not want Fang Chuning to be involved.
"Second brother, are you so afraid of Fang Chuning that you think I can't beat him?"
Xie Jue looked at him coldly, unable to bear it, "What's wrong with you? You've been comparing yourself to Fang Chuning since you were a kid?"
"Then why did you let him go to Jiangnan?" Xie Xun had long wanted to compete with Fang Chuning, "I'm not afraid of him."
Xie Jue was speechless when asked by Xie Xun for the first time.
"Do you have anything else? Just leave if you don't." Xie Jue preemptively said, "I have a headache."
