When Lin Shiwen said this, Situ Che began to think carefully. What Lin Shiwen said is not unreasonable. Even, in a sense, this approach is better.
"My lord, doing this will not only appease the hearts of the officials under your command, but also throw the blame for splitting Yong's army on the two of them. If the other party does not agree, these officials should not blame the lord, but the other party."
"If we push too hard, we can only let the two of them team up and work together to resist us. In the end, it is not us, nor the two of them, but other princes who will benefit."
"Situ Fei occupies the western part of Yongzhou, and Situ Hao occupies the eastern part. It is impossible to say that the two of them have no idea of ??unifying Yongzhou. If the pressure from the outside world is too great, they will only join forces to fight against the enemy. If there is no pressure from the outside world, then, They will fight with each other. It is much better to sit back and enjoy the results than to go on an expedition." Lin Shiwen said word by word.
"So" [Zhuding]
"Reportreport to your Majesty, urgent information from Tiqisi!" Just when Situ Che wanted to discuss the matter in detail with Lin Shiwen, the royal guards hurried over and handed over a letter of military information about a pincer attack.
Situ Che immediately opened it and looked at it. For a moment, his face turned livid, "You bastard, I will personally lead an army to conquer this unfilial rebel."
"Lord? What are you?" Lin Shiwen saw Situ Che's expression changing so quickly, and was puzzled by the information in his hands. He didn't know what was in the information that made Situ Che so furious.
"Look your idea just now is completely useless now. This Situ Hao is far more hateful and cunning than we imagined!" Situ Che casually handed the thing in his hand to Lin Shiwen, with a look of rage on his face. color.
Lin Shiwen opened the thing in his hand and was immediately shocked, "ThisSitu Hao actuallyWhose idea was this? So, the fighting among the princes has started again."
There is no other content in it, and there is no deliberate provocation by Situ Hao to Situ Che. However, it is stated that Situ Hao, who is in Luoyang and controls the capital of the Yan Kingdom, issued a new imperial edict in the name of the emperor.
Although the current little emperor of Dayan is not looked upon by anyone, the emperor is the emperor. At the very least, no one in the world has raised the flag of rebellion openly. Of course, these princes would not take the little emperor of Yan seriously.
But this imperial edict will make all the princes in the world rise up after hearing the news. Lin Shiwen couldn't help frowning when he saw it.
The content of the imperial edict is very simple, but it is extraordinary. Make the king! They made kings wantonly, and all the princes in the world were made kings. Among them, Zhao Xun is still the King of Zhao and rules the north; Li Chi of Xuzhou is named the King of Chu, with jurisdiction over Xu and Yangzhou; Tang Jun Tang Xian is named the King of Tang, with jurisdiction over all of Jingzhou and part of Jiangzhou; King of Qi Murong Cheng, ruled over Yangzhou, Jiangzhou, and Jiaozhou; Situ Hao, King of Luoyang, ruled over Yongzhou; Situ Fei, King of Hanzhong, ruled over Hanzhong and surrounding counties; Situ Che, King of Shu, ruled over Yizhou, Ning All the prefectures, Jiaozhou and one part of Jiangzhou.
In fact, Lin Shiwen and Situ Che didn't know that, if Situ Hao didn't want to anger Situ Che, there would be a Situ Tai who was controlled by Situ Che on the enfeoffment list.
"Lord! I'm in trouble this time!" Lin Shiwen said with a bitter smile.
Situ Che said coldly: "Trouble? What's the trouble? Do we care about this little emperor's imperial edict? No matter what he enfeoffs, what we get will always be ours. Do they want to be king? Humph wait three As soon as the month is over, I will personally lead the army to the north and kill these two people myself."
Lin Shiwen shook his head and said: "Things are not that easy! My lord, although the little emperor doesn't care about anyone, this imperial edict has brought benefits to many people. And Zhao Xun, the only prince who can have an impact on Situ Hao, did not suffer any losses. Zhao Xun will naturally not object. Then, other princes, except us and Qi Jun, will acknowledge it. Even Murong Cheng will acknowledge it. Otherwise, the territory he lost will no longer belong to him. "
"Then, in the end, I can only fight alone. Except for our objection, other princes agree. Although we don't care about this, the part of Jiangzhou and most of Jiaozhou we occupy are also in the hands of Tang Army and Qi Army. Within the scope of our jurisdiction. If we use troops to the north, the Tang Army and the Qi Army will also harass our rear. Situ Hao will even call on the Tang Army and the Qi Army to attack us again in the name of the imperial edict. "
"The Qi army is no longer as powerful as it used to be. It is the enemy of everyone. But after I did not occupy part of Jiangzhou and most of Jiaozhou, I became the most powerful force in the south. Both the Qi army and the Tang army were There is a threat.¡±
"Internal instability, external enemies are on the rise, Lord, don't be impatient at this moment. Situ Hao's move really made it difficult for everyone to deal with, leaving us helpless."?Start. However, since then, Dayan has ceased to exist. There are many kings, and who can command the heroes depends on their own abilities. "Lin Shiwen sighed bitterly.
"That's not right, why is there no Yanzhou Army here?" Suddenly, Lin Shiwen was shocked to find that all the princes in the world were there, but there was no name of Yanzhou Army Li Feng.
"Isn't it? No way!" Suddenly, Lin Shiwen had another thought in his mind, which made him feel cold all over, and the ice was biting to the bone and penetrated deep into his heart and spleen.
"What? Is there a problem?" [Zhuding]
"Lord!" Lin Shiwen took a deep breath and said word by word, "The situation in the world is about to change. The Yanzhou Army does not appear on this enfeoffment list. There is only one possibility, that is, the Yanzhou Army has defected to someone. Otherwise, with the current Yanzhou Army, how could Situ Hao dare to be so negligent?
"This" Situ Che was also shocked. Thinking of Zhao Jun's current strength plus the strength of Yanzhou Army, Zhao Jun now occupies half of the world.
"No wonder the Yanzhou Army has always implemented Zhao Jun's new policy in the area under its jurisdiction. It turns out that they have colluded with Zhao Jun for a long time. But how did Zhao Jun convince a prince to surrender?" Lin Shiwen murmured to himself, Some thoughts in my heart suddenly came to my mind.
Seeing the sudden change in Situ Che's face that was shocked by what he said, Lin Shiwen said repeatedly: "Don't worry, my lord! No matter what the situation is, I am not far away from Zhao Jun. I am worried, and the princes who are in contact with Zhao Jun are worried. So. , what I said before is our best way to deal with it at this moment."
"My lord has recently taken over the power, and the internal situation is still unstable. There is also our mortal enemy Qi Jun around. The top priority is to make good friends with Situ Hao and Situ Fei on the grounds that the late king has passed away and it is not appropriate to engage in war. At the same time, he will exchange for my return. On the one hand, the officials and their families are allowed to serve as our northern defense line.¡±
"The other side is to prepare for war. The direction we need to attack is not the north, but the east. Zhao Xun has already occupied the north. If we cannot occupy the south in the shortest time, it will be difficult to fight against Zhao Jun."
Of course, Lin Shiwen also knew that his side had lagged behind Zhao Jun for a long time. But apart from moving quickly and taking over the entire south as quickly as possible while the Zhao army was attacking other princes, he had no way to compete with the increasingly powerful Zhao army. Unless we unite with other princes in the south, but is this possible? An imperial edict will cause the southern princes to turmoil and unite? Easier said than done
The imperial edict of the little emperor of Yan was spread to various places, and the princes in different places had different ideas. However, except for King Murong Cheng of Qi and King Situ Che of Shu, the other kings all expressed their acceptance of the order. The northern overlord, King Zhao, did not make any response, but no response was equivalent to no rebuttal. As a result, this imperial edict came into effect, and suddenly, the whole world was filled with kings.
But the princes were more wary of Zhao Jun because of this. There is no other reason, just because after the imperial decree of the feudal kings was issued, one of the princes was not among them. Soon afterwards, the prefectures, counties, and cities within the Yanzhou Army, and the original banners of the Yanzhou Army were all transformed into Flame unicorn flag.
The princes in the world were immediately shocked, and then they realized that the Yanzhou Army had already surrendered to the Zhao Army. Therefore, the Yanzhou Army was not included in the enfeoffment. It can also be seen from the enfeoffment of the kings that since Situ Hao can know that the Yanzhou army surrendered to the Zhao army without listing his name, then, in other words, the Zhao army was also involved in this matter. This matter of dividing the kings was approved by King Zhao.
Thinking about it, it is true that the concubine of King Zhao is the daughter of Emperor Xuanwu. Logically speaking, she is also the current eldest princess. If King Zhao refused, or Situ Hao did not secretly discuss with Zhao Jun in advance, then Zhao Jun might march down at any time. On Qing Jun's side, Zhao Xun had a very good reason.
And here in Zhao Jun, there is a dispute over whether to integrate the Yanzhou Army. Some people think that the Yanzhou Army can be used as a surprise force to achieve unexpected results. In addition, once the Yanzhou army surrenders, it will inevitably alert the princes and even stop fighting among themselves and turn against themselves.
Others have different views. The Yanzhou Army and the Zhao Army have now begun to integrate deeply. Even if others do not know the relationship between the two, they can still detect that the Yanzhou Army has begun to move closer to the Zhao Army. At the very least, The neighboring princes will not regard the Yanzhou Army as friends, but look at the Yanzhou Army with hostility. The Yanzhou army is too close to the Zhao army, and the Qi soldiers may not be able to succeed. In addition, the princes along the way can only be one body and must not be divided into several strands. This will only make the system chaotic and may even cause division.
After Zhao Xun discussed with the various departments of the Government Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department, he believed that enfeoffing the kings was the general direction that had been determined. The purpose was to confuse the southern princes and let them continue to fight with each other. This Yanzhou army is also a prince, so it cannot be without the title of king.But the Yanzhou Army is a part of the Zhao Army system, how can it form another party? Although the leader of the Yanzhou Army is Zhao Xun's other identity, they are originally one body, but they have to be divided into two parts, which is detrimental to the Zhao Army and may even have extremely bad consequences.
Therefore, the Yanzhou Army was incorporated into the Zhao Army system and began to be reorganized in an orderly manner. Because generally speaking, the Yanzhou Army also implemented policies in accordance with Zhao Jun's policies. Most of the Yanzhou Army officers were sent by Zhao Jun, so rectification was not very difficult.
"How about it? There is no problem with the merger of the Yanzhou Army!" Zhao Xun asked Pei Yi, who was in charge of government affairs, with a smile.
"There is no problem. However, the integration of the Yanzhou Army into our Zhao Army has also caused other princes, especially the Tang Army, Qi Army, and Xuzhou Army around Yuzhou, that is, the Chu Army, to begin to strengthen their vigilance at the border areas." Pei Yi still feels a little bad about integrating the Yanzhou Army into the Zhao Army. In his opinion, he should wait until the princes start fighting again before taking this action.
Zhao Xun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let them take precautions. I have no next action. Apart from appeasing Liangzhou, the more important thing is to go west. If these princes dare not act rashly because they are afraid of us, what will happen to us?" It¡¯s also beneficial.¡±
"In addition, if we remain silent, these princes may stop fighting and even join forces to fight against us. But if we focus on the west next, then these princes will definitely not calm down."
"We, Zhao, have occupied half of the world. If they remain indifferent, they will be annexed by me sooner or later. If our focus shifts, these princes and kings will be impatient to get rid of others and become The overlord of the entire south. Or, make yourself stronger and more powerful, so that you can compete with me. "
Situ Liang sneered and said: "These people still want to become the overlord of the south? If Situ Lei had not died, it might be possible. At the beginning, there were three major princes in the world, Lord, Situ Lei, and Murong Cheng. But in the end, Murong Cheng was attacked by the allied forces of the princes. The troops were lost and more than half of the territory was lost. Situ Lei was still old and died, and the Yong army, which was the only one that could compare with the lord in terms of strength, had also been broken into three groups. "
"There is no one among the princes in the world who can be my lord's opponent. These so-called kings are just fools who have been blinded by this position!" Situ Liang did not take these princes and kings seriously at all. [Zhuding]
Zhao Xun shook his head and smiled: "Okay, if you keep talking like this, I will become a god. By the way, Liangzhou is now under our jurisdiction, and I will make use of it. Liangzhou is located in the northwest, The environment is far inferior to that of the Central Plains, so more efforts are required. In addition, the pipelines in Liangzhou must be repaired as soon as possible. The pipelines here not only provide logistic services for the army, but also provide support for Liangzhou's future business. ¡±
"What about Situ Che? Did you take any measures because of Situ Hao's action? He is the new leader of the Yong Army. Now that Yongzhou has been taken away and he has been granted the title of King of Shu, there will be no reaction, right?"
Situ Liang smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know whether Situ Che had capable people under him to persuade Situ Che to stop, or whether we annexed the Yanzhou army and captured Yanzhou and Yuzhou in one fell swoop to make them feel the pressure we brought. This Situ Che actually accepted it. Situ Hao¡¯s enfeoffment. In addition, he also used Situ Lei¡¯s death as an excuse to temporarily live in peace with Situ Hao and Situ Fei.¡±
Hearing this, Zhao Xun couldn't help but be stunned, and said with some regret: "I originally wanted Situ Hao and Situ Fei to join forces to fight Situ Che. In the southeast, the former Xuzhou Army, and the current Chu Army and Tang Army fought with the Qi Army. In this way, The whole south is now in a melee, but I never thought that Situ Che could endure it. "
After thinking about it, Zhao Xun said again: "I remember that Situ Hao had many family members of officials in Situ Che's Shu army. Didn't these officials cry in front of Situ Che? Situ Che wanted to make these officials Stability cannot be ignored. Even among Situ Che's former direct relatives, many of them have family members in Luoyang. "
Situ Liang said: "Situ Che stopped taking action against Situ Hao and acquiesced to Situ Hao's occupation of Yongzhou and Situ Fei's occupation of Hanzhong and Chang'an. How could Situ Hao still want to fight Situ Che to the death? Situ Che's strength, Situ Fei's occupation Hao now knows that he is no match for Situ Fei. In addition, our Zhao army is also a big enemy of Situ Hao. He cannot ignore it, especially after we accept the Yanzhou army, Situ Hao will not dare to use troops lightly. Now, around Situ Hao, we are to the east and north, Situ Fei is to the west, and the Tang army is to the south. Except for one side, which is slightly better, we are enemies on all three sides. "
Zhao Xun felt a little pity about this, but immediately put it aside and said with a smile: "It seems that our strength is also an important influence on their decision-making. No matter, if they don't fight now, it doesn't mean they won't fight in the future. In addition, ?If Tu Che does not go north, he can only go east. "
"In the eastern part of the Shu Army, in addition to the Qi Army and the Tang Army, the three-way fight between them is also a good result. However, without Situ Che's check and balance, I did not have to strengthen my guard at the junction with Yongzhou in the south. Although I am not afraid, but Don¡¯t be careless.¡±
After saying that, Zhao Xun pointed to the northwest direction of the Dayan map behind him and said in a deep voice: "Our target is him! In the early days of Dayan, the early and middle days of Chu, this place was the jurisdiction of the Central Plains court. Even in name, they are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Now, Dayan has declined, but we will never tolerate these countries in the Western Regions misbehaving on our borders and harming the people. "
"You are all familiar with this place. Hundreds of years ago, this was the area under the jurisdiction of the Western Region Protectorate. What we have to do is to bring these areas under our control again. This was also the site of the famous Silk Road. , but now it has been cut off. I have nothing to do but to restore it. Let the Silk Road and maritime trade become the two financial pillars of our great Zhao's prosperity." Zhao Xun's sharp eyes. Looking at the positions of the countries in the Western Region, he spoke sternly to everyone.
Zhao Xun¡¯s words immediately made the Finance Department, Taxation Department and other officials look eagerly. Even the Logistics Department responsible for the army¡¯s logistics couldn¡¯t help but have their eyes twinkling.
"Pei Yi, how are Wei Zilin's preparations in Liangzhou? Also, are all the materials needed by our army ready?" Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to my lord, Mr. Wei has been preparing for several months in the western counties. Within these months, official roads in various places have been repaired. In addition, Dunhuang City has also been greatly expanded. In these months, a large number of All the grain and grass supplies have been transported to Dunhuang City for storage." Pei Yi told everyone about the situation in western Liangzhou in detail.
"Very good, let's start taking action according to the planned plan!" After thinking about all the issues, Zhao Xun pointed to the places of the Western Region countries on the map and said in a deep voice
