    "What I said before are all tasks that you must complete this winter. You are no longer new officials who have just taken office, and you should have a foundation in your mind on how to govern. I do not hope that any of you will  One person fell into my hands because of a mistake," Wei Zilin Zhensheng explained.

    "In addition, my lord has ordered us to open the trade routes in the Western Regions so that we can trade with the countries in the Western Regions. Of course, the trade routes are not the most important. The most important thing is that we need to understand all the conditions of the countries in the Western Regions. Which one  Countries can be won over by us and used by us. We must understand the strength of each country's military strength. Therefore, this operation is not only the responsibility of the Commerce Department and local officials, but also the generals."

    Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "Master Wei, are we preparing to mobilize troops from the countries in the Eastern and Western Regions?"

    As soon as Xu Ye finished speaking, excitement appeared on the faces of all the generals in the hall, especially those who had recently surrendered, and their eyes suddenly became eager.  They are surrendered generals, so they naturally hope to make contributions on the battlefield, gain a firm foothold in the Zhao army, and even take a step forward.

    Of course Wei Zilin understood what these people were thinking and said quietly: "Whether or when to mobilize troops is not something you and I should consider. What you need to do now is what I just ordered. Of course, if it is true,  If you want to mobilize troops, you will also join the army to join the battle. Of course, the prerequisite is to fulfill the Lord¡¯s military orders well.¡±

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "My lord, the weather is getting colder, and the southern princes have now stopped large-scale wars and begun to enter a stage of rest."

    Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "After a year of fighting, all the princes are exhausted and exhausted. If they don't rest now, they may not be able to continue to support themselves. What is the current situation of the Qi army?"

    Situ Liang said: "Although the Qi Army encountered a joint attack by the Tang Army, Xuzhou Army, and Yong Army at the beginning of this year and lost the entire Jingzhou, most of Jiaozhou, and the smaller half of Jiangzhou and Yangzhou, Murong Cheng's background is still beyond  There are many Tang troops and many Xuzhou troops.¡±

    "After the Tang army occupied Jingzhou, the Qi army did not continue to fight hard with the Tang army. Instead, it stood firm and resisted the Tang army's continued invasion. In addition, it also encouraged many people to cause a lot of trouble for Tang Xian in Jingzhou. As a result, the Qi army occupied Jingzhou  After that, the Tang army, which was still about to advance eastward, had to stop and stabilize the position. "

    "The other big enemy of the Qi Army, the Yong Army, also because of our actions in the north, especially after the defeat of the Turkic Army, forced the Yong Army to start moving its men to the north, which relieved the pressure on the Qi Army. And the Qi Army was also everywhere  Starting to defend step by step, relying on the Qi army's foundation in various places, the Yong army, which was originally overwhelming, stopped its progress. "

    "The last enemy of the Qi Army, and also the current primary counterattack target of the Qi Army, is the Xuzhou Army. Originally, the Xuzhou Army wanted us to fight to the death with the Qi Army and Murong Cheng. However, it did not succeed, and instead let Murong Cheng lead the army to turn back smoothly.  However, the Xuzhou Army occupied the four prefectures of Yangzhou and severely cut Murong Cheng into pieces. "

    "Yangzhou is Murong Cheng's home base, and he is naturally unwilling to be occupied by the Xuzhou Army. Therefore, the target of the Qi Army's fierce attack now is the Xuzhou Army. It can be said that both the Xuzhou Army and the Qi Army suffered countless casualties during this year. It can be said that  It's a loss for both sides. This is because the princes around the Qi army dispersed the Qi army's strength. Otherwise, the Xuzhou army would have been defeated. "

    "Although the Xuzhou Army occupies the four prefectures of Yangzhou, it not only cannot become the stable jurisdiction of the Xuzhou Army, but also tightly restrains the Xuzhou Army on the Yangzhou battlefield. Although most of the civil strife in the four prefectures of Yangzhou has been reduced, Qi  However, the number of attacks and sneak attacks by the Xuzhou army increased a lot. After all, this was Yangzhou, and the Qi army was most familiar with the terrain. However, the Xuzhou army's Li Chi kept an eye on the Yangzhou area. I don't know if it was because of the loss of the Xuzhou area.  Or to expand southward.¡±

    "Therefore, the Xuzhou Army suffered considerable losses in the south. The Qi Army as a whole was defensive step by step and began to counterattack the Xuzhou Army. The Tang Army occupied Jingzhou, and the Yong Army also stopped attacking."

    Zhao Xun frowned slightly and said: "Situ Lei stopped attacking? Is it because of our pressure or because of internal problems in the Yong Army? With Situ Lei's temperament, he shouldn't be like this. Liangzhou is lost, it's already very likely**  He has also deployed heavy troops in Chang'an and Hanzhong. Now is a good time to expand. How could he stop taking action? "

    Situ Liang smiled and said: "According to the news from our detailed operations in Chengdu, since the beginning of winter, Situ Lei has begun to slow down his eastward movement and switched to capital defense. In addition, under the rule of Yong Jun, the governors of various states have been replaced.  , The mobilization of the army seems to be preparing for the new king to take office. "

    Lu Ziliang's eyes suddenly shone and he said: "My lord, in this case, we can start taking action. Get ready"Over a long period of time, whether for the sake of King Yong's power or for the westward movement in the coming year, we must find a way to disperse and disintegrate King Yong's power as a whole.  "

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Well, this is indeed a good opportunity. Now that the opportunity has arrived, let's get started. If it can happen, then it is naturally the best. Even if it doesn't, it doesn't hurt us. But no matter what,  It will have a beneficial impact on us. Let's start operations in Liangzhou and Yongzhou now. If it's too late, I'm afraid those two guys will be transferred back to Yizhou. "

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Liangzhou, Longxi Prefecture.

    Although he was replaced by Lin Shucheng as the Governor, Situ Fei still stayed in Liangzhou.  Although he is not the Grand Governor, his authority in Liangzhou is not much different from that of the new Liangzhou Grand Governor Lin Shucheng.  Of course, this is also related to the fact that the entire Liangzhou, both civil and military, has Situ Fei's trusted followers at all levels.  As the former Grand Governor, Situ Fei placed his cronies among the civil and military officials in Liangzhou's prefectures and counties. Naturally, the new Grand Governor cannot be transferred without any reason.  Especially since Situ Fei was his lord's son.

    Therefore, although Situ Fei moved away from the Governor's Mansion, his current residence is located a few hundred meters away from the Governor's Mansion. On weekdays, Liangzhou civil and military officials often gather at his residence.

    "Grand Governor, Lin Shucheng took advantage of the fall of Yanju Mansion, the surrender of 20,000 troops to the enemy, and the defeat of western Liangzhou, so he began to replace our manpower deployed in various places. Especially among the army."  Zuo Sima King He Wen said to Situ Fei with a deep expression.

    Hearing what Wang Hewen said, Situ Fei's face became slightly gloomy, and then he smiled and said: "Don't call me the Grand Governor. The current Grand Governor is Lord Lin. As the Grand Governor of Liangzhou, Lord Lin is responsible for all military and political affairs in Liangzhou.  He has the power to handle affairs. The appointment, removal and transfer of officials are all normal. Besides, everyone he transfers has a good reason. "

    Wang Hewen's expression did not change, and he continued: "But, the Grand Governor the Second Young Master, no matter what, in our hearts, the Second Young Master is the Grand Governor of Liangzhou. We have taken refuge under the Second Young Master, and there is no one except the Second Young Master.  Can you accept us? Second Young Master, this Liangzhou is your foundation. Now Lin Shucheng has replaced half of the generals in the north and east through various excuses."

    "If it were simply because the war was unfavorable, we would have nothing to say if we replaced him with someone who was good at fighting. However, the people Lin Shucheng replaced were all the people who came with him. In other words, Lin Shucheng  Start to expel the Second Young Master¡¯s original foundation and start to control Liangzhou. Second Young Master, if this continues, this land of Liangzhou will become Lin Shucheng¡¯s.¡±

    Situ Fei's face condensed and he said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense! Lin Shucheng is a close confidant of my father, and there is nothing wrong with Liangzhou being in his hands! Also, don't talk nonsense about Lin Shucheng. This person is under my father's care."  He has a deep status in his heart. Even I am far inferior!" As he said that, the look of hatred in Situ Fei's eyes flashed away.

    When Wang Hewen saw Situ Fei calling Lin Shucheng this way, he naturally understood that he was already dissatisfied with Lin Shucheng.  So he said in a deep voice, "Second Young Master, this is not what my subordinates want to say, but Lin Shucheng has already started to attack some of us. Yesterday, Lin Shucheng bluntly said that several of us are incompetent, and he added three more fake Sima to compete with us.  Let¡¯s jointly handle Liangzhou¡¯s military affairs.¡±

    "These fake Sima are just assisting us as directors, but behind them stands Lin Shucheng. They make the decisions on everything, and we are in danger of being sidelined. Second Young Master, once we lose our real power in the Governor's Mansion,  Then we will completely lose everything in Liangzhou."

    "Although the Second Young Master also replaced most of the Liangzhou Army generals a year ago, due to time constraints, these people were not allowed to completely control the Liangzhou Army. It is also because of this that Lin Shucheng immediately took advantage of the disadvantages in the battle to send us  Many people have withdrawn. Second Young Master, please find a way to reverse this situation. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable."

    Seeing Situ Fei's face changing constantly, Wang Hewen gritted his teeth and said: "Second Young Master, now that the prince has begun to prepare for the new king, no matter what, there must be a countermeasure. Although Lin Shucheng came here to resist the Zhao army, it was not a problem.  It means stripping the second young master of your rights. Only by stripping the second young master of your rights can a new king be appointed, just in case."

    "You mean to say that my father has already decided on the candidate for the new king?" Situ Fei's expression immediately changed and he said coldly.

    Wang Hewen's face sank slightly, and he said slowly: "Second Young Master, please forgive me for speaking nonsense, I'm afraid that's the case. Second Young Master should also know that the prince is ill, so the person who assists the prince in governing the affairs is naturally the most important person. Second Young Master  The young master is now in Liangzhou, but he has been deprived of the position of governor. The profound meaning of this is probably"

    Situ Fei¡¯s face suddenly turned gloomy.In fact, it's not like he didn't see the problems involved.  Regarding the throne, he knew very well that since he was entrusted with Liangzhou and continued to draw military forces from Liangzhou, he had no chance of it.  It's just that he won't be reconciled until the prince is established.  Now that he was picked up by Wang Hewen, he naturally felt uncomfortable.

    "Your Majesty! Master Chang Shitian is outside asking for an audience!" the guard outside the house reported in a low voice.

    ¡°Let him in!¡± Situ Fei responded absently.

    "I have seen the second young master!" Shi Tianyu, the governor-general, walked in with an angry look on his face.

    "No need to be polite, aren't you in the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters? Why did you come to my place?"

    "Discussing matters? Second Young Master, my subordinates are now in the Governor's Mansion and have no qualifications to discuss matters. Everything is controlled by the newly-appointed assistant officers. What's the use of me keeping them? I wanted Lin Shucheng to take sick leave earlier."  Tian Yu said bitterly.

    Wang Hewen and Situ Fei glanced at each other, with anger appearing on their faces.  Tian Yu is the director of the governor's office and is responsible for assisting the governor in handling government affairs. Now, he is also being squeezed out by Lin Shucheng.

    He did not continue to tell about his situation in the Governor's Mansion, but instead said with a serious expression: "Second Young Master, this subordinate has something important to report to Second Young Master!"

    "Oh? A big thing?" Situ Fei frowned slightly, "Tell me, what a big thing it is."

    "Second Young Master, there are envoys from Zhao Jun at my subordinate's house. They want to meet with you, Second Young Master." Tian Yu said in a low voice.

    Situ Fei was startled and said anxiously: "What? Zhaowhy are they in your house? Do you have any contact with them?" As he said that, Situ Lei's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and when he looked at Tian Yu, there was a trace of murderous intent.  Very cruel.

    As soon as Tian Yu saw Situ Fei's face, he knew that he had been misunderstood.  At that moment, he said continuously: "Second Young Master, please ask your subordinates to explain. I feel that I have no contact with Zhao Jun. This time, the envoy of Zhao Jun came to look for you, Second Young Master, but he was worried that he would not be able to get in or be tricked by Lin Shucheng."  I noticed it, so I went to my subordinate¡¯s door and asked him to introduce me to him.¡±

    "That's it! It seems that I misunderstood you! When they saw me, they didn't want Lin Shucheng to know. What was the reason? Did you know?" Situ Fei asked slowly.

    Tian Yudao: "My subordinates don't know. They only asked them to tell the Second Young Master that this matter is related to the Second Young Master's life and death. Second Young Master, are you going to see him or not? They said that if the Second Young Master doesn't see them, they will leave."

    "Is it related to my life and death? Ridiculous!" Situ Fei sneered, "They took over the counties in the western part of Liangzhou and are already my mortal enemies. Now they are looking for me without letting Lin Shucheng know about it. They are clearly trying to provoke Liangzhou.  Internal relations in the state. Now that the two sides are fighting, what is the purpose of sending envoys? If they are not coming to see my envoys, they should be killed directly. "

    Wang Hewen on the side suddenly said: "Second Young Master, in the opinion of my subordinates, it would be better for you to go and see him. Although our army is currently in a head-on battle with the Zhao army, my subordinates guess that they came this time to fight with King Yong.  Regardless of his position, it would be better to meet him. Although we are enemies of Zhao Jun, at this moment, the second son is not the governor of Liangzhou, nor is he the leader of Yong Jun. "

    Situ Fei pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go to Tian Yu's mansion tonight. I want to see what Zhao Jun wants to say?"

    Night falls and the crescent moon hangs high.  Situ Fei decided to meet the so-called Zhao Jun envoy to see if what the other party said was related to the position of King Yong.  Of course, if it was an issue related to Liangzhou, he would naturally ignore it.  Although Situ Fei was very dissatisfied with Lin Shucheng now, he also knew that if he and Lin Shucheng fought, the only one who would gain the advantage in the end would be Zhao Jun.

    The meeting was very simple and direct. There were only three envoys from Zhao Jun. As soon as the two sides met, they started to get straight to the topic.

    "Yang Zhaoyuan, why did you come to see me this time? Please tell me frankly. I don't have extra time to chat with my enemies of the Liangzhou Army."

    "Okay, Second Young Master Situ is happy. Since Second Young Master said this, Yang will speak out. Second Young Master was still the Governor of Liangzhou two months ago, right? But now, the power in Liangzhou is beginning to break away step by step.  The Second Young Master is in control, is Yang right?" Zhao Jun's envoy Yang Zhaoyuan said quietly.

    Situ Fei's face froze slightly, and then he smiled and said: "The governor of Liangzhou is freely appointed by my father, and my transfer is just a normal transfer. What? Does Zhao Jun also have something to do with my appointment of officials in Liangzhou?"  The young master is no longer the governor of Liangzhou, so he naturally has no right to interfere in the military affairs of Liangzhou. What you said does not seem to have much to do with the matters that need to be discussed between you and me. "

    Yang Zhaoyuan smiled and said: "No, it's not that it doesn't matter, but it does matter a lot. TwoYoung Master, do you know that in addition to sending someone to take over your position as the Grand Governor of Liangzhou, your father also sent someone to take over your eldest brother's position as the Grand Governor of Yongzhou.  In other words, you and your eldest brother have now been stripped of your foundations.  "

    "Second Young Master, please listen to what I have to say!" Yang Zhaoyuan interrupted Situ Fei's retort, "If Liangzhou is transferred because of the war, then what does Yongzhou count? In fact, Second Young Master should know the meaning of this very well.  Yes. You must know that the transfer of Yongzhou Governor and your transfer were not announced. They just sent people directly to the two of you to announce the military order in public. "

    Situ Fei's heart jumped up and down at Yang Zhaoyuan's words. In fact, he was not very clear about the transfer of Yongzhou Governor, his eldest brother.  All I know is that in Yongzhou, his father sent Ling Xiao to guard against the invasion of the Zhao army, but there was no explicit transfer.

    Thinking about himself, Situ Fei felt that what Yang Zhaoyuan, the envoy of the Zhao Army, said was not false.  Then, combined with his own situation, he suddenly began to think about everything, and he had to consider the hidden meaning.

    "Even so, it doesn't mean anything. It's not unusual for a governor to be transferred, is it?" Wang Hewen, who was accompanying Situ Fei, said lightly.

    "Really, but the two young masters' cronies were transferred by the new governor, is this normal? Second Young Master, you still hope that after this battle, Lin Shucheng will leave office, and you will continue to control Liangzhou."

    Yang Zhaoyuan smiled coldly, stared at Situ Fei and continued: "Not to mention whether your Liangzhou army can block the attack of our Zhao army after this battle. Even if the eastern part of Liangzhou is in your hands, the second son will not become Liangzhou.  I'm the governor, because it won't be long before you are recalled to Chengdu by your father."
