    "Greetings to the lord!" In Yanzhou City, in the Governor's Mansion, the main civil and military officers of the Yanzhou Army all paid homage to "Li Feng", the Governor of Yanzhou, who had not shown up for almost half a year.

    Zhao Xun smiled calmly and said: "Excuse me, you have performed very well in the past six months, and I am very satisfied with it. Yes, we have fought with several princes successively, and we can still recover in such a short period of time.  You all have done a great job.¡±

    "My subordinates dare not take credit!"

    "I will keep your merits in my heart, and I will never forget you in the future. Well, these will be rewarded in the future." Zhao Xun said calmly, because these are all people who know Zhao Xun's identity.  , Therefore, when Zhao Xun said this, no one was dissatisfied. Instead, they were secretly happy.  After all, Zhao Xun's words also represent recognition of their recent contributions.

    Yanzhou Army civil and military officials explained the current situation in Yanzhou. Generally speaking, the development of Yanzhou Army is still very good.  Because the canal of Zhao in the north was connected to the Yellow River in Yanzhou, the number of merchants in Yanzhou increased greatly.  In addition, the system and policies of Yanzhou are very similar to those of Zhao, so business has flourished a lot.

    The hidden dangers caused by the battle between Zhao Xun and the former Yanzhou Governor Xu Jie gradually disappeared in the past half year.  Although all parts of the world are learning from Zhao's system and policies, the Yanzhou Army is the most similar.  When they were trying to resist the Qi army, the Yanzhou army also expressed its intention to form an alliance with the Zhao army and even surrender to the Zhao army under forced circumstances.  Therefore, Yanzhou Army's transactions with Zhao Army are now extremely smooth, and the other princes will not be too dissatisfied.  Even the Tang Army, Xuzhou Army and even the Qi Army in the south conducted trade through merchants in Yanzhou and Zhao.

    The ordinary people also benefited greatly through the Yanzhou Army's land surveying, land distribution, tax reduction and exemption and other policies to benefit the people, and they were able to recuperate and recuperate, which also made "Li Feng", the governor of Yanzhou, supported by the people.  .  The prosperity of commerce made the Yanzhou army gradually stronger.  At the very least, it is much stronger than when Xu Jie was in power.  Now, neither the Tang Army nor the Xuzhou Army dare to underestimate the Yanzhou Army.

    Last year, he participated in the coalition forces with the Qi Army to conquer the Situ Lei War, but it did not let the Yanzhou Army get trapped in it.  Of course, this is also related to Tang Xian and Li Chi's unwillingness to be used by Murong Cheng.  Therefore, although the Yanzhou Army suffered 50,000 or 60,000 casualties, the front, rear, left, and right guards had officially grown up and were not afraid of any challenges.

    In addition to the Yanzhou army occupied by the Yanzhou army, there are also two northern prefectures occupied by the Tang army.  Because both sides were part of the expedition against Situ Lei, there was no major friction between the two sides in half a year.  However, the development of Yanzhou made Tang Xian of the Tang Army bitter.

    ?According to Feng Ziming, because all the prefectures and counties in Yanzhou under the rule of the Yanzhou Army were implemented in accordance with Zhao Di's new policy, not only did the people obtain land, but many taxes were also reduced.  But what about the two lands occupied by the Tang army in the north?  But it is still the same as before. Even if it has improved, it is still far behind the Xiafu County under Yanzhou Army.  Therefore, the people in the two prefectures occupied by the Tang army were dissatisfied.  Although these ordinary people would not go against the government, many people from the two northern prefectures began to move south and live under the rule of the Yanzhou Army.  Of course, there are also many who go directly north to live in Zhao.

    Under the rule of Yanzhou and Zhaodi, there were household registration bureaus in various places. If all newly arrived refugees and common people wanted to live in the local area and obtain land, they needed to apply for a new household registration at the household registration department before they could be allocated land.  Of course, Yanzhou Military Mansion accepts all these people. After all, it is the people's freedom to live wherever they want.  But this is not good news for the Tang army, which has less territory.

    Without the people, there would be no soldiers, horses, money and food. Tang Xian knew this very well.  But he couldn't directly condemn the Yanzhou Army. After all, this was not a direct capture/plunder by the other party.  As a last resort, they strengthened inspections at the border and notified the Yanzhou Army to prohibit them from accepting people coming from the north.  Feng Ziming naturally turned a blind eye to Tang Jun's request.

    In addition, while everyone's eyes were fixed on the battle with Situ Lei, the civil servants sent from Youzhou also had full control over the governance rights of all prefectures and counties in Yanzhou and the rights of local county soldiers and government soldiers.  Like Zhao Di, in Yanzhou, the government directly manages the village level and sets up an inspection department to be responsible for local security and supervision.

    And those local powerful families who were unfavorable to the Yanzhou Army finally surrendered in the past six months.  First, some of them were dealt with by force by the Yanzhou Army, or sent to the battlefield to conquer Situ Lei, never to return.  The other part began to enter business channels and obtain wealth on the other side.  As the saying goes, life is like rape. Since you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it.  These powerful people finally understood that the Yanzhou Military Mansion was unbreakable.??.

    Of course, in addition to some adapting to the current life, some also moved to the Tang Army in the north or the Xuzhou Army in the east.  For these people, the Yanzhou Army did not interfere too much, which is why the Yanzhou Army unceremoniously admitted people from both places to enter.  Besides, when these people leave, except for the money that can be easily taken away, the fields will naturally become the property of my lord and become the property of the government.  In addition, the departure of these people can also reduce the hidden dangers of insecurity.  In short, the departure of these people far outweighs the disadvantages for the Yanzhou Military Mansion.

    "Well done. The development of the Yanzhou Army so far has exceeded my expectations. After all, we can't directly bring Yanzhou and Zhao together." Zhao Xun said with a smile. Regarding the current situation in Yanzhou, he naturally  Very satisfied.

    Feng Ziming said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's because we are too close to Zhao. Both Tang Xian of the Tang Army and Li Chi of Xuzhou are very wary of us. In other words, Tang Army and Xuzhou Army  Now they all have the intention to join forces to suppress our Yanzhou Army."

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "These are certain. After all, the closer the Yanzhou Army is to our Zhao army, the more suspicious they become, fearing that the Yanzhou Army will be swallowed up by the Zhao Army. Now, in addition to the Zhao Army in the north, the Yong Army in the west  The remaining three weak forces are the Tang Army, the Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army, and the Yanzhou Army is on the flanks of the Tang Army and the Xuzhou Army. Once there is a change, they will be in crisis.  , which is also normal.¡±

    "However, we can't get too close to the north, at least not now. Ordinary commerce is okay, but some supplies, including armor and equipment, must not flow in from the north. If they are aware of our Zhao Army and Yanzhou Army,  A direct relationship would be a big trouble. Even if they suspect it, they cannot be allowed to suspect that the Yanzhou Army is part of the Zhao Army. At most, they will feel that my Yanzhou Army has Zhao Jun as a backer, or in other words, is with the Zhao Army.  Zhao Jun has a close relationship.¡±

    Feng Ziming nodded and said: "The Lord is right, and it should be so. However, I guess that the Lord coming here this time will definitely change our isolation situation."

    Zhao Xun laughed and said: "You sent the news to Youzhou, so it's normal for you to guess it. So, what do you think we should do now?"

    Feng Ziming's face straightened up and he said: "The Zhao army does not move. The Yanzhou army contacts the Tang army and the Xuzhou army to attack the Qi army. If possible, Situ, who suffered a big loss at the hands of the Lord last year and was suppressed by Murong Cheng, will be killed."  Lei also pulled him into the water. In this way, Zhao Jun sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, severely weakening the Qi army. "

    Zhao Xun stroked his palm and said, "Well, you are Feng Ziming. You are really smart. You guessed that we are inseparable from each other. It seems that the chief official of a state is not suitable for you. The place is too narrow."

    Feng Ziming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are ridiculous. As the chief officer of Yanzhou, I should give my best consideration to the situation in Yanzhou. And right now, there is only one thing related to our Yanzhou Army. Think more and consider more.  If there are too many, we will naturally point out the one that best suits our interests. It would be the biggest dereliction of duty if we fail to resolve the situation at hand."

    Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "The Yanzhou Army's movement this time is, as Zi Ming said, to win over the Tang Army, Xuzhou Army and Situ Lei to disintegrate the Qi Army. Situ Lei is still old, and according to reliable information, his health is almost the same.  In addition, he is burdened with the name of regicide and his son is busy seizing political power. However, this Qi King Murong Cheng is different. He is young and powerful and occupies the most prosperous place in Zhao, even the current Zhao land.  "

    Wei Dong nodded slightly and said: "That's the case. Last year, Murong Cheng's campaign against Situ Lei failed. He saw his lord seize Bingzhou and Beisei, and defeated the Turks. He was unwilling to do so. Now, it's even more so.  Abandoning his reputation of righteousness, he wanted to attack his allies. If the Yanzhou army was really controlled by someone else, he would probably agree to the benefits promised by Murong Cheng and capture Xuzhou by then.  The Yanzhou Army will have a great advantage. And we have great hatred with Situ Lei and the Turks, so it is in our best interest to attack Murong Cheng first.  It would be best if we can disperse the Qi army for the first time.¡±

    Zhao Xun said: "Since the general direction doesn't make sense to you, then let this prevail. Feng Ziming, send someone to contact the Tang Army and Xuzhou Army. In addition, you must also recruit Situ Lei. Presumably, you will take action against Murong Cheng.  He was also very happy.¡±

    Wei Dong asked: "Then how should we respond to Murong Cheng? After all, Murong Cheng's attack on the east and west, the surprise attack on the Xuzhou Army, has to pass through our southeast corner."

    Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Promise him, but let him give more benefits. As for passing by our southeast corner, I guess his army will not really kill two people by then.Then attack eastward in front of the ?? land.  I'm just afraid that when they reach Yuzhou, they will march eastward.  Even in the land of Yuzhou, they will take action against the Xuzhou Army.  "

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "The Yanzhou Army has agreed? What benefits do you want? Agree to all. When the king takes down the Xuzhou Army, Zhao Army and the Turks and Situ Lei launch, will the Yanzhou Army still let us do whatever we want?" After receiving the envoy's reward, Murong Cheng  He laughed excitedly.

    "What? Aren't you happy? With the support of the Yanzhou Army, we can move faster and faster?" Seeing that his cronies Zhang Tu, Zhong Yan and Fei Bin all looked worried, Murong Cheng said somewhat unswervingly  , "I know that you don't want me to join forces with the Yanzhou Army, but you should also know. The Yanzhou Army has been suppressed by the Tang Army and the Xuzhou Army, and we need to return with strong troops. We need to capture the Xuzhou Army as quickly as possible, and at the same time  Weaken the Yanzhou Army."

    After a pause, Murong Cheng continued: "In addition, the purpose of bringing the Yanzhou Army in is to prevent them from causing trouble behind us. At the same time, it is also a Situ Lei to reduce the pressure so that he can attack the Zhao Army. Any unit that is free is outside.  The princes are a big hidden danger to us. Now that Yanzhou Li Feng has agreed to join forces with us, do you have anything to worry about? "

    Zhang Tu said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, what we want for our surprise attack on the Xuzhou Army is to catch everyone by surprise. And now that we are in contact with the Yanzhou Army, this confidential matter will inevitably be leaked. We can guarantee that the secret will not be kept secret.  It will be noticed by outsiders, but can the Yanzhou Army guarantee it? "

    "The Yanzhou Army and the Zhao Army have extremely close ties, and the two sides have very in-depth cooperation in trade. Within Yanzhou, among the civil and military officials of the Yanzhou Army, we don't know how many people are serving the Zhao Army. We cannot ignore the leakage of the information.  It¡¯s dangerous, and it¡¯s unclear what the consequences will be once Zhao Jun learns the news.¡±

    Murong Cheng's face moved slightly, and he said coldly: "What do you think now? We have reached an agreement with the Yanzhou Army. Now, what we need to do is to prepare for the army's action, instead of worrying about these things that have not happened yet.  Li Feng, the leader of the Yanzhou Army, is willing to be annexed by the Zhao Army. He should know what to do. Even if he has people from the Zhao Army, Li Feng should avoid these people for his own sake. "

    Seeing what Murong Cheng said, Zhang Tu and others could not say any more.  After all, they can only worry about what might happen. The plan is already unfolding, and what they need is to take action and win.  But no matter what, Zhang Tu and others still felt extremely uneasy.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    When Murong Cheng received the reply from the Yanzhou Army, Li Chi of the Xuzhou Army also received the news from the Yanzhou Army and the envoy from the Yanzhou Army.  Of course, the envoy of the Yanzhou Army did not just bring a message to Li Chi. He wanted to join forces with the Xuzhou Army to try to make Murong Cheng suffer a big loss during this operation.  Although Zhao Xun meant to join forces with the Tang Army, Xuzhou Army and Situ Lei, the most important thing was to bring the Xuzhou Army together before the others could be dealt with.  If the Xuzhou Army does not cooperate, everything is empty talk.

    Li Chi was very surprised and angry at the secret information brought by the Yanzhou Army envoy, of course, provided that he was true.  After receiving the news, Li Chi did not reply directly. After arranging for the envoys of the Yanzhou Army to rest, he immediately asked people to report the movements of the Yangzhou Army, especially the situation in the southern area of ??Xuzhou.

    If the Qi army wants to attack the Xuzhou army, it is naturally impossible for them to be unprepared.  All kinds of intelligence exploration and various hidden activities are naturally indispensable.  Under the inspection of Xuzhou Army's secret guards, some changes were placed in front of Li Chi.

    Li Chi was naturally extremely angry. Not only did he respond to Murong Cheng's campaign against rebellion, but he was also preparing to respond a second time.  The result was good. The good thing was that he didn't see any of it. Instead, Qi Jun focused his attention on himself, which couldn't help but make him resentful.  Furthermore, the Xuzhou Army and the Qi Army are also old enemies. The Qi Army has always wanted to annex Xuzhou, which is standing in its way.

    "Li will never forget your great kindness! Regarding the current situation, how does your army intend to solve it?" Li Chi was also unambiguous. He knew that the other party had a purpose in sending the news.  Otherwise, why should the other party help him?

    "Murong Cheng intends to use heavy profits to induce my family master to send troops to you, in order to achieve the effect of jointly raiding you and capturing you as quickly as possible. However, my family master is naturally not such a villain who does evil things to his allies. Naturally, he  I understand that Murong Cheng is just taking advantage of our Yanzhou Army. After getting rid of your army, it is impossible to escape Murong Cheng's suppression. Therefore, my master hopes to join forces with your army to use his plan to defeat Murong Cheng.  The benefits among them are the best. Chief Governor, what do you think?"

    Li Chi pondered for a moment and said: "Murong Cheng is so powerful that it is difficult for you and me to be hostile. If we spread the news that Murong Cheng wants to do evil to his alliesWouldn't it be better to go?  Not only can Murong Cheng put aside such plans, but also eliminate the danger of weapons and weapons, what do you think?  "

    "If you do this, we, the Yanzhou Army, will become Murong Cheng's primary target. Commander Li, you wouldn't treat the ally who just saved you like this. If you are only willing to spread the news beforehand, then  , our Yanzhou Army can only go all the way with the Qi Army. After all, our Yanzhou Army alone is not the opponent of the Qi Army. By then, whether Xuzhou will be attacked by two armies from both sides is not something we can do.  It's decided." The Yanzhou Army envoy said unceremoniously.  Just kidding, if you spread the news now, wouldn't you be telling Murong Cheng that our Yanzhou Army had just agreed to him and then turned around and sold him.

    Li Chi smiled nonchalantly and said: "Of course, our Xuzhou Army and Qi Army are also sworn enemies. Since Murong Cheng is unjust this time, we just have a good reputation. However, just by ourselves, we are not  Murong Cheng¡¯s opponent, right? Even if we fight intentionally or unintentionally, we can¡¯t achieve greater results?¡±

    "The Tang Army and the Yong Army are also Murong Cheng's opponents. If we all take action together in this operation, we can definitely cut into the fat meat of the Qi Army. Governor Li, what do you think?"

    Li Chi's heart moved, and he was secretly moved. He also knew that among all this, Situ Lei's action was the most cruel blow to Murong Cheng.  However, if the Xuzhou Army, Yanzhou Army and Qi Army take action, Situ Lei's temperament will naturally not remain indifferent.  Don't forget, last year, Situ Lei was beaten badly by Murong Cheng's appeal.
