Chapter 660 Exchange(2/2)
Gwangju exchanged with Yangju.
After the event is completed, the Xiangbei Army will send troops to garrison and control Liangzhou. However, as compensation for the Tangyi Army, consideration can be given to merging Guangzhou into the Tangyi camp system and setting up a government. After the event is completed, in addition to the needs of the Youshenwu Army,
Withdrawing from Liangzhou, the local forces in Jingyun and Canglang counties, which were closely related to Zhou Pang and Chen Jingzhou, also needed to move out.
In order to ensure this, in addition to the documents signed by Guo Rong, Zhou Pan, and Han Qian in the era of Wenbo, after the Youshenwu Army captured Liangzhou City, it was necessary to directly hand over the old Jinzhou remnant rule Hanyin City to the east of Liangzhou City.
It is garrisoned by soldiers and horses of the Youwu Guards.
If Tangyi could not accept such conditions, the Xiangbei Army would rather launch a civil war. Not only would they cut off the Han River channel, they would also not hesitate to join forces with Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian to send elite soldiers and horses to attack the Youshenwu Army from the east wing.
They will also not hesitate to bloodbath the remaining forces in Jingyun and Canglang.
And since Tangyi doesn't want to quarrel with each other, and Xiangbei doesn't want to quarrel with each other, then they have to strive for the most favorable conditions for them.
By abandoning Guangzhou, they can still maintain the passage to expand northward from Nanyang (Dengzhou). At the same time, the Fangcheng gap in the north of Nanyang is sandwiched between Funiu Mountain and Tongbai Mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is more conducive to them saving limited troops.
, but after taking control of Liangzhou, it actually opened the channel for expansion to the Guanzhong area. In the future, it might be possible to join forces with Zhang Wei to seize Shu.
Only such an exchange would bring more advantages than disadvantages to the Xiangbei Army, so it is not impossible to cooperate with the Tangyi Army by holding their noses.
As for the annexation of Guangzhou to Huaixi, the withdrawal of the Youshenwu Army from Liangzhou will greatly increase Tangyi's strength in Huaixi. This will only make Huaidong, Shou Wangfu and other ministers in the court more fearful.
Huaixi, thus relying more heavily on the Xiangbei Army.
"General Chai really has a good plan,"
Guo Rong briefly discussed with Zhou Zang and Wen Bo and decided to accept the conditions proposed by Chai Jian. They returned to the hall to negotiate the final terms with Li Changfeng, Yao Xishui, Fei Wenbo and Xu Jing.
"Since Li Bingbu is here, Li Bingbu will be the first commander in everything. And since we have decided to suspend the attack on Lantian, we can directly transfer Li Xiu's troops back at this time, and Li Xiu's troops will enter after us.
Liangzhou, to resist Zhao Mengji, Wang Xiaoxian led the counterattack. With this arrangement, Sir Fei and Yao Gongshi no longer need to waste time asking General Chai for instructions, right?"
At this time, Guo Rong, Zhou Pan, and Wen Bo expressed their trust in the attitude of the Prince of East Zhejiang Province and wanted to fight side by side with Li Xiu. They even agreed that Li Xiu would lead his troops to directly enter the city they gave up in the early stage.
When the army counterattacked Liangzhou, Li Xiu helped bear part of the military pressure.
Fei Wenbo, Yao Xishui, and Xu Jing had nothing to say about this.
Otherwise, in front of Li Changfeng, they could still suspect that the close relationship between Zhejiang East County Prince's Palace and the Xiangbei Army at this time would not stand the test?
As the Minister of Political Affairs (Deputy Prime Minister) and the Minister of War, Li Changfeng had the right to act in a matter-of-fact manner. Even when it was too late to ask for instructions from Jinling, he was qualified to directly represent the court and accept Cao Yong and Wang Ang's requests for help against the Wuxiang Army on the left and the Shenwu Army on the right.
It even went so far as to make new mobilization of troops and horses among the various departments of the Xiangbei Army and make comprehensive adjustments to the northwest strategy.
Now he nominally supports Li Changfeng as the commander-in-chief and mobilizes troops to encourage the local princes to usurp the throne.
Next, five people, headed by Li Changfeng, Guo Rong, Chai Jian, Wen Bo, Yao Xishui, and Xu Jing, will jointly sign a letter to the court. Everything seems to be a coincidence, and it really seems to have nothing to do with Han Qian.
Yao Xishui felt extremely ridiculous when he thought that the two sides were sharpening their swords a moment ago and almost had a fight, and that at this moment they had reached an extremely fragile and precarious cooperative relationship.
…………
…………
After everything was settled, a secret agreement was signed and kept. Next, Li Changfeng and Fei Wenbo signed an order. Following the Canglang County Magistrate, the County Lieutenant opened the city gate and let the Shenwu Army on the right enter Canglang City.
Li Changfeng was the Minister participating in the political affairs, and Fei Wenbo was the Marching Sima of the Youwu Guards and the Sima of Junzhou. They could both directly order the Canglang local guards to open the city gate.
And with the letters and orders from the two of them, everything became in line with the imperial order. Zhou An secretly returned to Canglang, so it was natural that he was "too worried about his mother and returned home without permission." If this happened, the imperial court might
At most, he would be dismissed from the post of Jiangzhou governor, right?
At night, Xu Jing carried Li Changfeng's secret message and order letter, and under the escort of several cavalry, left Canglang City and rushed north. They wanted to rush to Jingzikou as soon as possible and hand over the order letter signed by Li Changfeng and others.
Huang Liu, the Marquis of Jiangyin, who sat in Jingzikou.
Regardless of whether Huang Liu will obey the order or not, Li Changfeng still has a secret letter that Xu Jing will send to Wuguan and delivered to Li Xiu who is resting in Wuguan. At this time, they still have to mobilize Li Xiu to lead his troops to withdraw along the west bank of Danjiang River.
Come, so that you can follow the steps of the Youshenwu Army as quickly as possible and then enter Liangzhou along the Han River.
In addition, Li Changfeng also signed a letter with everyone to report secretly to the court on many matters.
Cao Yong and Wang Ang, the prince of Changxiang Marquis, are still staying in Canglang City for the time being. They will wait for a clear order from the imperial court before they take their "credentials" and embark on the road to Jinling - of course, even if the imperial court finally acquiesces
They acted on their own initiative, but until Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, secured his position in Shu, it was unlikely that he would summon Cao Yong and Wang Ang to Jinling, so as to leave a buffer for all possibilities.
The remaining snow covered the mountain tops and the mountain roads were slippery. Under the few stars, hundreds of small sailing boats sailed from the Han River and Danjiang River and approached the dock southwest of Canglang City.
Seeing this scene, Yao Xishui, who was standing at the top of the city, could certainly guess that Chishan would disperse these small sailing ships into Junzhou for this moment. It should be that with the assistance of the Shanzhai forces, the Xiangbei Army had already deployed along the coast in advance.
No abnormalities were noticed.
After all, they were mostly focused on the large and medium-sized sailing ships of the Chishan Society. There was no reason to cut off the trade links between the Chishan Society and Junzhou before. Who would watch hundreds of small sailing ships crossing the border all day long?
This trade route was first opened by Han Qian with the help of the Xuzhou Ship Gang during the Jingxiang War, mainly to maintain commercial trade with the Shanzhai forces, and it has been maintained ever since.
At this moment, Yao Xishui deeply felt the lack of available manpower. He did not expect that under the nose of the Xiangbei Army, Han Qian was asked to do so many tricks, but they were not aware of it.
The main force of the You Shenwu Army, led by Wen Bo, Guo Rong and others, entered Canglang City, while Xue Chuan and Guo Que led thousands of generals outside the city waiting to board the ship.
Hundreds of small sailing ships could not carry many people, but the first batch of three to four thousand elites sailed up the Han River and attacked the gateways to the east of Liangzhou, such as Xunyang and Hanyin. This was enough to disturb the Liangzhou defenders.
In fact, after Wen Bo led the Shenwu Army on the right to join forces with Xuzhou soldiers and horses who had sneaked into northern Sichuan in advance, even if they could not capture the most critical Liangzhou City, they could still force Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian to withdraw their troops from Guanzhong and capture one or two fortresses.
Is it the purpose of containing it from behind to prevent it from attacking Shuzhong with all its strength?
