my wife is mulan

Dongfang Chen is an important adviser under Zhao Junsheng. Gao Yun knows it, but he prefers to discuss literature and poetry with Dongfang Chen, and automatically puts Dongfang Chen's identity aside.

"Your envoy is too polite, Chen is in a panic, please ask me first!"

Chapter 605

When Dongfang Chen and Gao Yun were drinking and discussing literature all day long in Xindu, Zhao Junsheng was also busy sending troops to take over the territories of the counties and counties in Dingzhou, and sending people to take over the government affairs of the counties and counties in Dingzhou. .

On this day, General Lan Yunlai reported to Zhao Junsheng: "My lord, all the soldiers who surrendered and were captured in Dingzhou have been counted. There are 630 infantry soldiers and 940 cavalry soldiers; There are also more than [-] state soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers!"

Yuan Wenyan, the chief scribe of the army, reported: "My lord, a total of 39 officials of Dingzhou size and size were captured and surrendered in this expedition. It may take more than ten days to fully count the money, food, supplies, military equipment and other materials seized!"

Zhao Junsheng listened to the reports of the two men, and took over the list of officials who surrendered and captured from Yuan Wenyan. After reviewing it, he ordered Guo Yi: "Send someone to check all these officials carefully. This king wants to know them. Details about your background, official position, character, and social connections, etc., go!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng told Yuan Wenyan this time: "Increase manpower and count the seizures as soon as possible. If there is a shortage of manpower, first use those officials from the original prefecture who surrendered and captured. As for how to deal with them, wait for Guo Yi." After the results of the side investigation come out, I will make further calculations!"

"Yes!" Yuan Wenyan agreed and turned to leave.

Zhao Junsheng instructed Lan Yun again: "As for those Dingzhou surrendered generals, surrendered soldiers and captives... How about this, you go and invite old General Zhang Xing over, and just say that the king has something to ask him to discuss! "

"Yes, my lord!"

"Wait, I should go see him!"

Zhang Xing is a veteran of the former Yan Kingdom, this man is quite upright, he originally planned to swear not to surrender, but he chose to surrender for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in White Wolf City, but he was unwilling to come out to do things after surrendering, and Zhang Xing is a clean and honest official on weekdays, doesn't know how to collect money, and his family is so poor that after he loses his job, the family will soon be in trouble. Zhao Junsheng has no choice but to let him hang a title of enlisting in the army, and often visits His family consulted some questions, and used this as an excuse to ask the government to send someone to send him a salary on a fixed day every month.

Zhang Xing is a loyal person and a man of integrity. Such a person will be respected by the world no matter when and where. Zhao Junsheng respects such a person very much, so he is willing to put aside his identity and come to invite Zhang Xing himself. In addition to Zhang Xing, there is another person in the original Yan Kingdom who deserves Zhao Junsheng to do this, and this person is Guo Sheng.

"My lord, my lord is here, and I'm waiting to see you outside the door," the attendant reported to Zhang Xing.

Although Zhang Xing's temper is stinky, he didn't rely on the old to sell the old, he hurried out to greet him: "I don't know the prince is here, so I am far away to welcome you, forgive me, forgive me, please come in and take your seat!"

"I hope that the king will not disturb the general when he comes here!"

"Don't disturb, my lord please!"

The two walked into the room and sat down. This was Zhang Xing's temporary residence in Gaoyi City, and he would not live there for a few days, so he didn't find a special house to live in. Instead, he arranged one or two rooms for the military officials and generals in the county government office.

After drinking two sips of tea, Zhao Junsheng got straight to the point, "General, this king is here to ask for your help. This king also knows that you are old and no longer fit to charge, and this king will not Such a rude request. The general also knows that our army has just captured the entire army in Dingzhou, and there are many affairs. The king's talents are lacking, and there are very few available people, especially for the rectification of those surrendered troops. Reorganization is a headache. Most of the king's subordinates are young people. They are full of blood and courage. Wang wants to ask the general to take over this mess, and now no one has the ability except the general!"

In Zhang Xing's heart, Zhao Junsheng lowered his profile and asked him to do things. It was very useful. In the past, he was unwilling to come out to do things. It was because the Yan Kingdom was still there, and the king of the Yan Kingdom, Feng Hong, was still there. It has long since perished, and Feng Hong has also died long ago, so there is no need for him to keep festivals for the perished and Yan Kingdom and the dead Feng Hong.

Zhang Xing hastily bowed down and said: "Your Highness looks too highly on the last general, you trust him, and the last general is very grateful.

The end will take over! "

Zhao Junsheng was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I can rest assured that General Zhang is here!"

Zhang Xing has led soldiers all his life and is very experienced in commanding troops. He is also a talented person. Nearly 3000 cavalry soldiers in Dingzhou and more than [-] state and county soldiers have been rectified by him. They have become obedient to the military order, one by one honestly, the order is prohibited, no one dares to stab again, and after a few days of reorganization, these soldiers will have a new organization, and after restarting the drill, the combat effectiveness will soon be restored , Morale is also getting higher day by day.

Only ten days later, the Dingzhou Army was ready to take to the battlefield again.

According to Zhao Junsheng's regulations, the more than 200 Dingzhou Army was reorganized into two armies, the Kaiyuan Army and the Heicheng Army, each with more than [-] people. In the reserve service of the soldiers, it is added to the armies at any time as a supplement to the battle damage.

Then Zhao Junsheng appointed Zhang Xing as the town general of Dingzhou to be in charge of military affairs, the partial general Lan Yun and the former Sima Geng Baozhong of the Dingzhou Army as the envoys of the Black City Army and the Kaiyuan Army respectively, and appointed Wang De as the envoy of the Wangfu Zhonglang Governor, in charge of government affairs.

Zhao Junsheng used the title of military envoy for the first time in the army. In the following months, he appointed all the chief generals of the garrison army and the central army in the area under his jurisdiction as military envoys.

Soon, Bai Jinguang's situation in Yingzhou was also reported. After careful consideration, Zhao Junsheng set up the Hejian Army in Yingzhou, appointed Zhang Wei from Bingzhou as the governor of Yingzhou, and Guo Sheng as the town general of Yingzhou and concurrently as the governor of Hejian. Military envoy.

Xindu.

Gao Yun and Dongfang Chen discussed literature, recited poems and composed Fu together, and had fun for more than ten days. They finally sat face to face and talked about serious business.

"Mr. Dongfang is a talented person. I have learned a lot in the past ten days! Sir, he must not have come here specially to accompany me to have fun. If you have something to say, please speak up!"

Dongfang Chen smiled, put down his teacup and said: "Your Majesty is a man of profound wisdom, you should understand the purpose of coming here. My prince is thirsty for talents, and if you serve my prince, you will be reused. At that time, you and me Wouldn't it be nice to be able to recite poems and compose poems together, and have a good time drinking and chatting together?"

Although Gao Yun guessed the purpose of Dongfang Chen's coming here, he was still a little unhappy when he heard Dongfang Chen say it with his own ears, "Mr. King Yan surrenders? If you persuade me to surrender to King Yan again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Dongfang Chen has already figured out Gao Yun's character after these days, he said with a smile: "You don't have to be angry, I didn't say that you should surrender to my lord, what I said is to surrender, it is to take the initiative! This is the same as Surrendering is completely different, so you must not be aware that Baba Shouxing, governor of Yingzhou, has been captured by our general Bai Jinguang, and the entire territory of Yingzhou has been controlled by our army!"

"Now, the east and west armies of our army have approached the northeast and northwest corners of Jizhou, with a total strength of more than [-] troops. Once my prince gives an order, the east and west armies attack at the same time. How can I ask the envoy to resist? Envoy I seem to have forgotten that Du Gui, the governor of Xiangzhou in the south, was still on the frontier of Chen Bing, and Shi Jun had already fallen out with him when he led troops to block Du Gui's way earlier, and if he tried to reconcile with Du Gui at this time, he might not be able to save his face. Du Gui may not agree, if he doesn't agree, where will Shijun's face be placed?"

"Since the situation is like this, the envoy seems to have no choice! I know very well that the envoy is a decent person and an elegant person. Why should I let myself lose my dignity? Why should I let myself lose my elegance?"

Gao Yun thought over Dongfang Chen's words. That's right, he is an elegant and decent person. The situation in Jizhou is facing enemies from both sides, and Zhao Junsheng puts more pressure on him. Once the two armies come out together, Jizhou It is impossible to resist at all, and when the time comes to end up in a mess, where is there any dignity and elegance?

That's all, instead of this, it's better to take the initiative to surrender early, at least to leave a good impression of current affairs in front of Zhao Junsheng.

Dongfang Chen returned with a full load, fulfilling his mission and perfectly completing the mission to Jizhou.

Zhao Junsheng came to Xindu with an army, and Gao Yun led a large number of Jizhou civil and military officials out of the city to greet them. After the two sides met, they were like old friends.

same.

Zhao Junsheng appointed Gao Yun as a doctoral officer in the Yanwangfu, and another person was appointed as the governor of Jizhou, and the generals of Jizhou were reorganized into Hengshui Army and Huining Army.

Soon, the East Route Army entered Jizhou Qinghe under the leadership of Bai Jinguang. Following Gao Yun's surrender to Zhao Junsheng with Jizhou officials, soldiers and civilians, Zhao Junsheng's East and West armies entered Jizhou territory. Xiangzhou and Jeju were like enemies. The atmosphere on both sides of the Yellow River became unprecedentedly tense.

Xiangzhou governor Du Gui, this is Zhao Junsheng's old enemy, and Jezhou governor Du Chao is Du Gui's father, one of the father and son is on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the other is on the north bank of the Yellow River. There is a Yellow River, and this Yellow River can become a natural danger at a critical moment, so Du Chao and Du Gui's father and son are horns of each other, and they can attack when they advance, and they can defend when they retreat.

Zhao Junsheng summoned the officers, counselors and generals who accompanied the army to discuss matters, and Bai Jinguang, the leader of the East Route Army, also rushed from Qinghe to Xindu to participate in the military discussion.

"Everyone, where should our army go next? Should we go back with this squadron, or continue to attack Xiangzhou in the south, and then cross the river to attack Jeju and Qizhou?"

Faced with Zhao Junsheng's inquiry, the military advisers and officials all started to think.

At this time, Gao Yun stood up and bowed his hands and said, "My lord, I had an imperial edict in hand to attack Dingzhou and Yingzhou before, and my master was famous. Now I go south to attack Xiangzhou and Jeju, but my master is unknown. If I continue to attack south , will definitely arouse the suspicion of the imperial court, and will also arouse the joint opposition of the princes of other places!"

Dongfang Chen also stood up and said: "I think what Gao Gong said is very true. Now that justice is out of my hands, the prince has achieved the purpose of sending troops to the south this time. If he does not withdraw troops in time, the princes will rise up and attack! I suggest sending The envoys sent envoys to Xiangzhou, Jeju, and Qizhou respectively to show the princes that the prince had no intention of invading. Before sending troops to attack Dingzhou and Yingzhou, they were just following orders. The hostility of the princes towards the prince!"

Chapter 606

Except for one Xiangzhou in the east of Taihang Mountain and north of the Yellow River, almost all the land in Hebei was controlled by Zhao Junsheng. Controlling such a large territory would not only arouse the deep fear of the imperial court, but also arouse the fear and fear of other princes. Fear.

Zhao Junsheng knew that these princes would definitely be wondering if they would be the next one to be wiped out. They wanted to protect themselves, and the best way at present was to form an alliance and join forces to kill him.

In the south of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, there are many princes, each of whom is stronger than the other. There are also Buliugutong from Bingzhou and Weijuan from Luoyang, and Pibaozi and Xijuan from the Guanzhong area; there is also the Hetao area. In Lai Daqian, these people are not easy to mess with. Once these people join forces to deal with him, he will be hard to beat with two fists and four hands.

So Zhao Junsheng understands that what Dongfang Chen and Gao Yun said is right, the war at this stage is over, and it can no longer be fought. The next step is to send people to convey his goodwill to the various princes, and digest the vested interests. most important.

Having said that, the army cannot withdraw for the time being, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with these princes before withdrawing the army.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "The two gentlemen's words are very satisfactory to me, but what should we do next to let the princes eliminate their hostility towards this king?"

Gao Yun has just joined in and is eager to show himself. Dongfang Chen knows that Gao Yun has something in his stomach, so he doesn't compete with him for credit.
