(Thanzi for their strong support, thank you!)

Taiyuan City, Hedong, Bingzhou General Administration.

On November 20th, the cold is cold. The cold air accumulates for a long time and it is cold. Although it is not yet time to reach the extreme, it also makes Taiyuan, the important northern town, frozen. The north wind is howling, and the grass outside the city is already bleak. As soon as the night falls, there are no pedestrians in the streets in the city, and they are all shrouded at home to avoid the cold. The updater calls of gongs, which makes the cooler.

In the luxurious study, the master and servant sat opposite each other from afar without talking. The small charcoal stove was warming the wine, and the heated wine rose up. Several Han kings in leopard fur and silk clothes drank the warm wine in small sips, but their eyes were still on the information placed in front of them.

"Yi Feng recently defeated three Tieler people, annihilated tens of thousands of Tieler cavalry in Mobei, and won a complete victory with almost no damage every time. Huaihuang army emerged and could defeat Tieler cavalry in Mobei, so it should not be underestimated. King, are you really going to fight against Yi Feng?" After a long time, Wang Jun, the military advisor of King Yang Liang of Han, and the consultant of the military officer, broke the silence first. Wang Jun was 48 years old this year, from Taiyuan. Born in the first year of Tianzheng, Emperor Jianwen of Liang, he was young and good at wanderings. When he was twenty years old, he still didn't know how to study. Later, he was taught by his brother Wang Yong, and he began to study hard. And he was out of control. He studied a doctor. Of course, he was not a doctor in later generations, but he was very good at studying. At that time, he was called a doctor and knew military strategy. Therefore, after the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, he was elected as a doctor of the Imperial College by the emperor, and this doctor was equivalent to the Imperial College.

Professor. The Imperial College is almost equivalent to the Central Party School of the Sui Dynasty. It can be seen that he is very talented and highly valued by the court. However, not long after, he was involved in the political struggle of the court and was exiled to Lingnan. At that time, the place in Lingnan could be said to be almost no chance of returning. However, Wang Xu was lucky. When he was almost forgotten in Lingnan, he received an imperial edict and appointed him as the counselor of the King of Han and served as the military advisor of a prince. It can be said that it was time to operate. However, Wang Xu was able to leave Lingnan and return to the Central Plains, which was inseparable from his family background. Wang Xu had a very famous father. Wang Sengbian, the general of the Liang Dynasty, who had quelled the Hou Jing Rebellion with Chen Baxian. But in the end, he was defeated in the battle with Chen Baxian. Chen Baxian defeated Wang Sengbian and then established Nanchen.

When Wang Xun was young, he entered the pass with several brothers. His eldest brother Wang Xun was the governor of Qizhou, and his second son Wang Fengze Zeng went south to pacify Chen. When he captured Jiangling, he specially dug out Chen Baxian's tomb, burned the bones into ashes, and drank them into his stomach. Wang Xun's third brother Wang Yong served as the Minister of Rites. It can be said that his resumption was not unrelated to his brothers. In history, Wang Xun's nephew was more famous than their brothers, and he was later called Wang Gui, one of the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty together with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng.

In addition to the smooth career of his elder brothers at this time, there is another most important reason why Wang Xun was able to recover. That is, among the brothers, and even in the entire court and the country, he was a very good at strategy. Even in Yang Jian's heart, Wang Xun's mind was comparable to that of the current right servant Yang Su. Because of this, after Yang Jian arranged his youngest son to Bingzhou as the general manager, he successively regained a large number of civil and military officials, basically all of whom were very capable. For example, Xiao Mohe, the god of war in Southern Chen, has been kept by Yang Jian since surrendering to the Sui Dynasty, but this time, Yang Jian took it out of the bag and transferred it to Yang Liang as the army. He commanded the military affairs for him, and Wang Xun, who was far away in Lingnan, was also ordered by Yang Jian to return and appointed Yang Liang as the military advisor, so that he could be Yang Liang's military advisor.

Wang Xu was very grateful and loyal to King Yang Liang of Han. If it weren't for King of Han, he would have been afraid that he would still be in Lingnan and was in trouble at this time. Although the appointment was issued by the emperor, he still felt that if it were not for King of Han who used him, he would not have returned to the Central Plains. Since taking office, Wang Xu has indeed been loyal and responsible to Yang Liang. After staying in Lingnan for many years, Wang Xu's original character has become much calmer. Faced with Yang Liang's ambition for Huaihuang, as the master, he had to pour some cold water on Yang Liang first.

The tiger father has no dog son. As the son of Wang Sengpeng, who had almost become the lord of Jiangdong, Wang Jun had a good vision. Although Huaihuang rose too quickly and many information could not keep up with the pace, just from the scattered Huaihuang information that he had obtained, Wang Jun had analyzed that although Yi Feng was young, it was definitely not simple. Especially from the four battles that Yi Feng fought one after another, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Yi Feng had amazing talents, especially his extraordinary military commander ability. Due to the lack of intelligence, Wang Jun was not very clear about how the former leader of the Yanshan horse thief became the leader of the Yanshan Tiger League in a short time, and how he pacified the Yanshan villages in a short time.

Then, the forces of all the large and large green forest horse thieves from Yinshan were integrated into their subordinates. But only since Yi Feng became the acting leader of the Tiger Alliance in May, and then defeated an elite Tongluo cavalry less than a month later, and then quickly defeated the bandits of Taoshan, and took the Green Forest thieves of Yinshan, Yanshan, as their command. It can be seen that Yi Feng is not simple. The information he just obtained now shows that Yi Feng had only been north for more than a month, and had already wiped out tens of thousands of Tieles in the Xijingshe River and Raole River. It is said that Yi Feng's losses were minimal. Not only that, he also brought together the three tribes of Xi Khitan.

"I also got some exact information and learned about the war process in Yi Feng's so-called victory. Almost without exception, each battle is not a direct battle, but a despicable trick. It is either a fraudulent defeat or an ambush in advance."

When Wang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head in his heart. What is needed for the war is the result of victory. As for the process, is that important? As long as he can win, he can use any means. As for cunning, it should be said that he is good at using strategies. As for the so-called soldiers are never tired of deceit. Yi Feng's ability to defeat his opponents with strategies shows that Yi Feng is skilled in using troops and knows how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. If he only knows head-on, then what is the battle? It's better to call him a fight.

Xiao Mohe, the army joined the army, couldn't help but say bluntly: "The king, the soldiers are never tired of deceitful. What Yi Feng did is not wrong. It even just shows that although this person is a young bandit, he is a very good at commanding troops. As the king said before, Yi Feng began to rise more than half a year ago, and his subordinates were only a group of bandits at first, but he defeated one enemy after another with stronger strength than him with his strategy. Wang Ziyou said that, this Yi Feng is not an idiot, so the king should not underestimate the enemy."

Yang Liang frowned, feeling a little unhappy. He didn't think Yi Feng was so great. He just defeated several groups of Hu people and bandits, what's so great about it. No matter how cunning Yi Feng was, he was still vulnerable in front of his absolute strength. In his opinion, no matter how much Huaihuang Army won a battle, it was just a mob composed of bandits and bandits. There was nothing wrong with it. Besides, he really wanted to go to war with Huaihuang Army, and did Huaihuang Army dare to go to war with him?

"Although Yi Feng holds tens of thousands of troops, Gu's subordinates have hundreds of thousands of troops. What's more, Wuzhou is originally affiliated with the Bingzhou General Administration, and Yi Feng is just Gu's direct subordinate. Since that's the case, Wuzhou should obey Gu. Isn't Yi Feng rich? Huaihuang border city is so lively. Every day, gold and silver flow in like flowing water, and there is a large amount of money to expand the army. Shouldn't he pay taxes to Gu?" Yang Liang was originally in Beijing and only heard that Huaihuang border city was very prosperous. But he was not clear about how much profit there was.

After coming, after a detailed discussion with his uncle, Lu Yu, he was shocked. Huaihuang was not just a dilapidated village outside the frontier, but a solid and prosperous Sanlian city. In addition, there are thirteen prosperous towns around Huaihuang. Today, Huaihuang is no longer the original nest of bandits. Now it is the largest trading center of the Fan Han Dynasty in the north. Not only are merchants from all ethnic groups gathered here, but even merchants from the distant Western Western countries and those merchants from the South China Sea came here to trade.

Huaihuang City has a surprisingly high income, so high that Yi Feng relied on such a small area outside the border to raise 300,000 to 400,000 people, and even maintained a full-time army of less than 100,000 people. This result shocked and jealous. Although he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his name, he was basically the government soldiers who were both soldiers and farmers who were idle in wartime. Some soldiers in the garrison were mainly prisoners, and the troops he could really control were even less pitiful. And this Yi Feng could actually raise so many troops. And Dou Lu Yu also reported a few news to him, Yi

The Huaihuang Town in Feng is not only a high-trade center, but also Yi Feng has also established many military horse farms and ordnance farms in Huaihuang. Huaihuang has a large number of high-quality war horses and the best iron and steelmaking workshops in the north. The steel produced in Huaihuang is of excellent quality, and it is the best choice for making weapons and armor. In addition, Huaihuang also has several special technologies, snow salt refining technology, rock sugar refining technology, the latest papermaking technology, book printing technology, liquor brewing technology, four-wheeled carriage manufacturing technology, etc. Each one represents a big business with lots of money.

Is Yang Liang short of money?

If it is just the money he squandered, he does not lack it. But if he wants to go further and compete for the position of crown prince, he will be very short of money, lacking a lot of money.

After a long silence in the room, Xiao Mohe and others lowered their heads and sipped their glasses of Chinese American wine.

"Since Yi Feng was appointed as the chief supervisor of Wuzhou, he has never been to visit someone yet, and he has not even sent a subordinate, let alone a penny of money and grain. He simply ignored the existence of this king, his superior. He is just a new chief supervisor of Wuzhou. Where did he have such courage? If he let this continue, how can Gu lead the fifty-four states of Guandong in the future?" Yang Liang said resentfully.

He has been serving as the head of Bingzhou for more than a year. Such a long time is enough to give him a deep understanding of his territory. Bingzhou is in charge of the 54 states, among which there are many head-on states, such as Youzhou, and the lower head-on states like Wuzhou. Basically, the states in the northern border areas are all head-on states. These generals who serve as the governor all hold real power, and many people are head-on states.

He, the chief general of Bingzhou, was not very buy-in. For example, the chief general of Youzhou, Yan Rong, had been in charge of Youzhou for seven years when he first took office, and his subordinates had commanded thirteen states. He could be regarded as the local emperor of Hebei region east of Taihang. He did not buy-in much of his Bingzhou prince. Especially because he was a relative of the relative of the Prince of Qinghe Yang Xiong, he was even more domineering. There were even rumors that Yan Rong was actually more inclined to the side of King Yang Guang of Jin.

The other general managers, Wei Shiyi, the general manager of Yingzhou, was directly Yang Guang's in-laws. Wei Shiyi's daughter had already given to the second brother Yang Guang's second son Yang Yang. For example, Han Hong, the general manager of Daizhou, whose territory is in the north of Bingzhou, but in such a very important position for the general manager of Bingzhou, his general manager Han Hong was actually Yang Guang's person. Many other general managers are basically the same, either they are domineering and do not take themselves seriously, or they are the prince or the king of Jin. Although the governors in the south who do not have the general manager are the general managers.

He was very obedient. But he had no say in some of the most important Bingzhou's general managers, so how could he accept it? This year, two new states were established, Guizhou and Wuzhou. The Wuzhou general manager Yi Feng was directly the son of the prince who had been separated for many years. Now he has elite soldiers and treasure pots, and is not the same as him. Guizhou general manager Qu Tutong. This guy is also on the same side as the King of Jin, so he can be angry when he thinks about it. If he doesn't react any more, I'm afraid that the subordinates will not care about him in the future. Maybe the governors will not take themselves seriously by then.

Especially after the failure of this Eastern Expedition, Yan Rong, Han Hong and Wei Shiyi and others even spoke a lot of rumors and looked down upon him more and more. If Yang Liang wants to stop showing his power, they really want to treat him as a sick cat.

It's time to kill a chicken to warn the monkey.

The idea of ​​killing a chicken to scare the monkey is correct, and Wang Jun also felt that it was necessary to use someone to establish his authority. But he directly pointed the finger at Yi Feng, afraid that Yi Feng was not that chicken.

"Maybe we can be polite first and then soldiers. Let's take a look at Yi Feng's attitude for the time being. I think Yi Feng is now in a strong moment, and maybe we don't need to take action. Someone will wait and take action first." Wang Xu said.

"What do you mean by sir?" Yang Liang was puzzled.

"The king has just returned from the capital. I heard that the position of the prince was extremely unstable, but since the emperor confirmed with the prince Yi Feng was the son of the prince and the prince, he seemed to have been much better with the prince recently. Is this really the case?"

Yang Liang nodded, "This is indeed the case, because of Yi Feng. Some time ago, when I was in Beijing, the emperor summoned the prince to the palace and suddenly became more and more frequent. Even the mother, who had always disliked the prince, summoned the prince to the palace several times."

"It seems that the rumors are true. The two saints have indeed changed their attitude towards the prince because of Yi Feng's incident. For the time being, it seems that the status of the prince's prince is unhindered for a short time. King, who is the happiest and who is the most unhappy for this sudden change?"

Of course the prince is happy, and the person who is most unhappy is naturally himself. However, when he looked at the smile on Wang Jun's face, he suddenly realized that the person who is most unhappy should be the King of Jin. After all, the position of the prince was unstable before, and there was a vague news of Yi Chu. The candidate for the new owner of the Eastern Palace, the court and the market, was optimistic about the very famous second brother, Yang Guang, of Jin. Now the prince has been able to suddenly stabilize his position because of Yi Feng, and I am afraid that the person who is most unhappy is Yang Guang, the King of Jin.

"Why don't the king sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and watch the fire from the other side of the bank? We might also have a knife to kill people. When the King of Jin can't help but take action to get rid of Yi Feng, wouldn't it be better to take Huai Huang into his pocket? After all, the King of Jin is still far away in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if he really gets rid of Yi Feng, he will not be able to take Huai Huang away. I think the king of Huai Huang can be appropriately beaten, but there is no need to really take action. Let's wait for the King of Jin to take action. The king has free time and just deal with other people first, such as Yan Rong, the general manager of Youzhou. This man has always been domineering and secretly leaning towards King of Jin. If we can pull Yan Rong off the horse, it will not only remove a disobedient thorn in the flesh, but also cut off one arm that stretched towards us Bingzhou, killing two birds with one stone, why not?"

"When the enemy, the general uses his plan, the lieutenant general uses his plan, and the subordinates use his battle. The gentleman is indeed resourceful, and one person wins 100,000 soldiers. However, why choose Yan Rong instead of Han Hong or Wei Shiyi?"

"Although Han Hong is the general manager of Daizhou, he is just north of my Taiyuan. However, the weak Daizhou is not a threat to us at all. Yan Rong is different. This person has been in Youzhou for a long time. He can be said to be the local emperor of Hebei. He has always been domineering and arrogant and does not take us seriously at all. Moreover, although this year His Majesty cut the thirteen states under Youzhou to only manage six states, Youzhou Town is still the largest general manager in Bingzhou. If we can get rid of Yan Rong and regain control of Youzhou General Management District, then other

All the domineering state general managers have to clamp their tails and be human beings, and no one will dare to underestimate the king in the future. Moreover, Youzhou is a central central town in the northern part of Hebei. After controlling Youzhou, it is equivalent to breaking up these domineering states in the east of Bingzhou. With Youzhou in hand, these state general managers that have formed a piece will be scattered in all directions and cannot form an integrated force. If you can rely on the king, you will either be defeated by us one by one, and you will no longer have to worry about them."

"Okay!" Yang Liang slapped the table and agreed excitedly. He picked up the wine glass to toast Wang Xu, "To sir, I will do my best."

Wang Nao also picked up the cup and drank it all.
Chapter completed!
