What happened in Hongzhou is naturally impossible to hide from the spies from the inner guards in Jiangxi.

Overnight, Hongzhou was filled with blood and killed people. Even the commander-in-chief of the Lingnan Army was killed. When such thrilling news came to Yichun, Ren Xiaonian and the generals of the Tang Army were shocked.

What did Xiang Jun do to Jiangxi? Isn’t it just to help Jiangxi resist the invasion of the Tang army? Why are the Jiangxi people even cutting down their heads?

"The generals of the Lingnan army were cut off their heads. They did not have a conflict with the Jiangxi army?" Ren Xiaonian stared at the inner guard spy and said.

The spy shook his head: "The entire Hongzhou City is under martial law. The Lingnan Army camp outside the city is also heavily guarded and cannot be approached at all. The roads entering Hongzhou are blocked. Even this information has been a lot of effort and has been sent out after several rounds. I am not a witness, so I don't know the specific situation."

"In this way, the Lingnan army can still maintain peace after the commander died. Otherwise, no matter how the two armies work, they will not be able to hide the news." Ren Xiaonian went around the house for several circles and was puzzled: "What is this for? Could it be that Qian Shouyi has such great ability that even the Lingnan army can control it? This is impossible!"

Ren Xiaonian talked to himself, but no one in the room could help him come up with advice. Whether it is Liu Yuan or Qin Kuan, he is good at fighting, but guessing such things is not good.

"Call all the generals and gather your thoughts to see if you can guess something!" Ren Xiaonian said: "For the inner guard, work harder to see if you can find out more information."

"I understand, I'll go now!" The spy bowed and turned around and left in a hurry.

A group of soldiers who led the war naturally could not come to any effective conclusions with limited resources and limited intelligence. In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Ren Xiaonian.

After pondering for a moment, Ren Xiaonian said: "It seems that Qian Shouyi should have taken advantage of Qian Wenzhong's opportunity to go to Guangzhou to launch a coup and take the opportunity to gain power. As for Xiang Jun's killing, the Lingnan Army did not react at all. It is very likely that the Lingnan Army came alone. In this place, there was no support or logistics, so he could only endure and wait for the opportunity. Lingnan should not let this situation continue."

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "If Qian Shouyi controls the overall situation, I am afraid that Lingnan will have no choice but to pinch his nose and accept this matter."

"Is it possible for Lingnan to let Qian Wenzhong come back? Once Qian Wenzhong comes back, he may even be able to turn the tables." Qin Kuan said.

"Impossible!" Ren Xiaonian said decisively: "Lingnan Xiangxun is not stupid. At this time, how does Qian Wenzhong come back? Do you think Qian Shouyi will honestly hand over power? No, no, once Qian Shouyi knows this news, it will only cause more killings and make Jiangxi lose more vitality. In any case, Jiangxi is an important part of their Southern Alliance. As long as Qian Shouyi expresses his willingness to stay in the Southern Alliance, Qian Wenzhong may not be able to come back."

"So, Jiangxi cannot bring us any threats now?" Liu Yuan said excitedly: "Qian Shouyi's biggest task now is to consolidate his rule. He has no mind and no energy to take care of us. At this time, we don't have to provoke him anymore, but concentrate on managing Hunan with all our hearts."

Qin Kuan nodded repeatedly: "General Ren, yes! The general's headquarters asked us to only take Zhuzhou. But now that there is an internal strife in Jiangxi and we cannot draw out our strength at all, we can launch all our strength, take Zhuzhou, and then attack Xiangtan directly. Xiangtan is the gateway of Changsha. After taking Xiangtan, Hunan has no choice but to draw elite troops from the Yiyang front line to defend, and Yueyang will have a lot of opportunities. At that time, Hunan will be able to take care of its head and ass."

Ren Xiaonian pondered for a moment: "I think about this matter again and again, don't worry. Liu Yuan, your troops will immediately enter Pingxiang, where will they do all the work they should do, including the preliminary preparations for the army's entry, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Liu Yuan nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, when the main force arrives, I will prepare whatever it takes."

Ren Xiaonian nodded.

After the generals left, Ren Xiaonian sat alone in the hall and fell into deep thought.

This is an opportunity.

For him, a rare opportunity.

There is no doubt that the Tang Dynasty valued military merits. Otherwise, with his and Jose, he would not have been able to reach the current position. As long as you make military merits, the channels for improvement will be smooth.

It’s a pity that the difference in thought that made me leave Zuo Xiaowei.

In fact, it is not wrong. In the years of the Right Qianniu Guard, he has been doing well. However, in his early thirties, he has become the Central Army General of the Right Qianniu Guard. Another Central Army General Yu Xiaowen is not as good as himself in terms of qualifications or ability. In fact, he is a real third in command among the Right Qianniu Guard. In addition to the General Li Mi and the Supervisor Gao Wufu, he is considered himself.

Speaking of which, I really deserve to be satisfied.

But sometimes, people just can't compare.

When a comrade-in-arms who were once similar to him or even worse than him, his friend suddenly rushed to the front of him, he felt a little uncomfortable after all.

Jose became the general of the Left Opera Guard. From the bottom of his heart, Ren Xiaonian was happy. He knew very well that he would never be able to sit in the position of General Zuo Xiaogu.

Because I betrayed Zuo Xiaowei back then, when Zuo Xiaowei was in the most difficult time, I chose to be a deserter and chose to go to the popular You Qianniu Guard.

The old brothers who were at Zuo Xiaowei back then would never forgive themselves.

Just like Jose, he was a little distant from him since then, and no longer barked himself with Ren Dadu one by one like in the past. Last time in Chang'an, when Jose called out Brother Ren, Ren Xiaonian was really mixed with emotion.

He really wanted to see each other hit each other's chests when they met again, and then a bear hug. They both tried their best to make the other party accept defeat and beg for mercy under their own strength. Then you call Ren Dagou, and I call you an ear, how happy!

But these are unlikely.

If I meet again, I have to salute him.

Now Jose is already the general of the Right Guard. The twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty and the twelve generals.

As a military general, he is almost at the top. If you go up, there is only the Military Commission.

Of course Ren Xiaonian wanted to go further.

However, the incident of leaving Zuo Xiaowei now seems to have left a bad impression in the minds of many people. When the position was still low, no one cared about this, but when it came to this point, this became his fatal weakness.

But how could I have thought that I could reach my current high position all the way!

When I come up, I don’t think about going on.

When I came up, I wanted to go further.

The position of the general is only one step away from Ren Xiaonian. It seems that as long as he works hard, he can step on this step again.

As long as your military achievements are sufficient, the weakness of the previous sutra will appear to be indestructible.

But this step is the hardest to step up.

You should know that there are still many people with just a few qualifications and great military achievements. People like Li Hao, Li Rui, and Li De are like this. Moreover, they also have a relationship that Ren Xiaonian does not have. They are all from secret camps.

Similarly, there are also people with more qualifications than themselves, such as Chen Changping, or Liang Han.

But there are only a few locations.

After thinking about it, Ren Xiaonian said that the only ones who might have vacant futures may have retired were Wang Sili, Li Cunzhong, Zhang Jia, and Tian Ping.

There is no need to consider Xue Chong's place. Zuo Jinwu Guard has been converted into a construction corps, and that is not the place he wants to go.

Although I am still young and have no chance in the future, there are very few such opportunities. If I am one step late, I will not be able to keep up with every step in the future.

Military merits!

I need more prominent military achievements to prove myself.

Ren Xiaonian stood up suddenly, walked out the window, pushed open the window, and the cold rain hit his face, hitting his face. Ren Xiaonian closed his eyes and tried his best to calm himself down.

Now, it's an opportunity.

If Jiangxi is in conflict, he will not be able to threaten his own retreat. Then, the entire army will attack Xiangtan and set up a formation to attack Changsha, which will inevitably cause shock to the front line of Yiyang, Hunan. Ding Sheng will have to return to rescue Changsha. Then, if Yiyang is insufficient, Shi Zhuang can take the opportunity to march and take over Yiyang at a very small price.

The Tang Dynasty took over Yiyang and Xiangtan, which was equivalent to locking the throat of Changsha. The entire Hunan fell into the hands of the Tang army, and it was just around the corner.

With a slam, he closed the window, strode to the door, pushed open the door, and called the personal soldiers waiting outside the door, "I'll go find Chen Wen immediately, find him and let him see me!"

The entire Right Qianniu Guard has 35,000 people. Li Mi's central army has naturally ranked first in combat power, followed by the 10,000 troops under Ren Xiaonian. The 10,000 troops led by Yu Xiaowen are ranked third. As for the other 5,000 people, they are logistics supplies, scouts and various technical personnel.

It is naturally difficult to achieve such a big idea based on Ren Xiaonian’s 10,000 people alone. But isn’t there a tool for Ren Xiaonian to drive?
