The carriage slowly turned around, and Daxiangguo Temple was ahead. There were many wealthy families in this area, and Pang Mansion was here. .

Zhang Ji signaled the carriage to go around the side, stopped dozens of steps away from Pang Mansion, and then got off.

He has come to Pang Mansion several times, but he has never met Pang Bo, the head of Pang Mansion.

Pang Shigu has many grandchildren, and Pang Bo is among the best, but there are few Pang's clan outstanding in the army. Pang Yuan is the most famous, which is not very consistent with Pang Shigu's reputation.

But the story of my hero and hero cannot be repeated in every family. Often, wealth and honor are only three generations, so it is good that the Pang family has never declined.

There is a door on the east side of Pang Mansion. Zhang Ji had already made an appointment with the butler of Pang Mansion. Seeing that the time was approaching, Zhang Ji stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and someone had been waiting, and it was obvious that the other party was also prepared.

Zhang Ji laughed in his heart. As the situation changed suddenly, it seemed that the Pang family was still touched.

Not to mention the battle situation between the Liang army in the west against the Jin army, Nanyang and Caizhou both joined the move of swallowing the whale and engulfing the Daliang territory, which was enough to make many people think twice, not to mention that the prince conquered Qingzhou and subdued Pinglu in one fell swoop. The contact between Liang and Xuzhou suddenly increased. Anyone who was a little smarter should understand that the general trend of the world was about to change.

"Butler Wei."

"Mr. Zhang, my uncle is already waiting, please come with me." The butler's tone changed from the previous time. Although he couldn't say how enthusiastic, he was much more enthusiastic.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ji got on the carriage again.

Half-closed his eyes, Zhang Ji leaned on the cushion and thought silently.

The conditions offered by the Pang family are not high, or rather ordinary, but Zhang Ji did not get the promise he wanted.

It seems that the Pang family can't control Pang Yuan anymore, or is it that the Yuan family has offered better conditions?

Not like.

Then why did Pang Bo refuse to agree?

Zhang Ji was a little confused.

He tried hard to figure out Pang Bo's tone, expression and attitude.

Pang Bo seemed a little absent-minded or perfunctory at the time, so the conditions proposed were very ordinary, and it could even be said to be not considered a condition. Even if normal businessmen in Bianliang City wanted to settle in Xuzhou and Shouzhou, they would still be protected, so there was no condition at all.

If you have such good conditions, but don’t mention them, what does the Pang family want to do?

If they met the conditions with Caizhou, they should at least have to make a false promise. But Pang Bo's attitude is not like a false promise, but more like he was talking in detail and letting himself wait a little longer.

What else is there to wait for? What will happen if you wait?

However, the butler surnamed Wei was very enthusiastic, or serious, and asked himself what he needed to do if he wanted to go to Shouzhou.

This shows that the Pang family still has to leave. Since that’s the case, why does Pang Bo have such an attitude?

Zhang Ji seemed to have captured something, but he never caught that breakthrough point.

By the way, what did the housekeeper surnamed Wei say when he sighed at the end? He said that there are many children in the army, all of whom are villagers, who are eager to be homesick, etc., and are eager to be homesick?

Could it be that the soldiers of Tianxing Left Army were eager to be homesick and Pang Yuan could not control it?

Zhang Ji only felt that his face suddenly became hot.

Yes, this should be the case, so when Pang Bo got the news from Pang Yuan, he did not dare to issue any conditions randomly, and he was a little absent-minded because he could not agree at all. Pang Yuan was going to take Tianxing left army back to Bianliang!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ji's heart thumped.

Before, I was not sure whether Pang Yuan would return to Bianliang, so neither Xuzhou nor Caizhou dared to act rashly, because I was afraid of stimulating Pang Yuan, which was not beautiful. Moreover, it was difficult to judge what Pang Yuan would make in the end from the detailed information about Pang Yuan.

But now judging from the attitude of the Pang family, Pang Yuan is mostly going to return to Bianliang, and the main reason should be that the officers and soldiers of the Tianxing Left Army were all in Bianliang.

They were homesick and worried that the Shatuo people broke through the Guancheng defense line and attacked Bianliang, which would turn their families into prey for the Hu people.

Since that's the case, why is Pang Bo unwilling to make things clear?

Zhang Ji immediately became a little confused.

It is possible that Pang Yuan was unwilling to return to the army, but the soldiers below asked to return to the army. The two sides were still arguing, or they did not talk about the specific return time, so Pang Bo was like this. He wanted to wait for a definite time before making the conditions!

*********************************************

It was already three days after Jiang Feng received the message.

After receiving the news, Jiang Feng did not dare to delay.

At the same time, the intelligence from the Caizhou army was undergoing rapid adjustments and deployments, especially in Yongcheng, the county front line, and the Caizhou army was gathering; Wanqiu's army was heading for Taikang, and Qiao County had martial law, which was obvious, and the Caizhou army was also ready to take action.

But I was not ready yet. The Yajun had just arrived in Teng County and it would take a few days to reach Xuzhou. The Wuning Army had just arrived near Gupai Lake, and it was still dozens of miles away from Fulidu.

Only the Ziqing Army moved quickly and left Xiaoxian without any hesitation. After all, the Moshan area in Xuzhou and Songzhou Prefecture was stationed, less than a hundred miles away from Xiayi and Dangshan.

Liu Yansi and Chai Yong cooperated very well and dared to leave Xiaoxian City and stationed in the state. This was a gesture of attacking just by waiting for orders.

"It's too late. If you expect it, Pang Yuan's Tianxing Left Army should be returning to Bianliang in the next two days. The Caizhou army will definitely launch an attack soon." Jiang Feng stood in front of the sand table, staring at Songzhou in the middle, "ordered the Zibo Qing army to cross Yucheng immediately and seize Songzhou, and the people from Wuwentang cooperated."

"Where is Yucheng?" Cui Shang hesitated for a moment. Yucheng was the retreat of Songzhou. If it was cut off by the Caizhou army, it would be difficult to fight this battle.

"Hmph, don't care about Yucheng for the time being. I think the Yuan army is as busy as we are now. They are even more troublesome from south to north. Xiayi and the valleys are so sophisticated that they can only throw them away. It depends on who will enter Songzhou first. And they have to get stuck after Tianxing Left Army returns north. Otherwise, if Tianxing Left Army feels dangerous and stay, there will be no chance." Jiang Feng kept stroking his hands under his jaw, thinking.

"If Tianxing Left Army did not leave Songcheng, then we must seize Yucheng." Cui Shang continued: "The Wuning Army needs to advance east immediately. His subordinates' opinion is to directly attack Yongcheng and not leave a way out for the Caizhou Army."

Jiang Feng nodded in praise, "It is to take down Yongcheng, let Caizhou feel the pressure, and he can fight to the east to the county and threaten Qiao County. In addition, Feige sent a letter to ask Xu Ziqing to cross the Huai River immediately and launch an offensive. The navy cooperated and took Yingshang and Xia Cai for me within ten days!"

"Prince, in this battle, I'm afraid we may not be able to control the scale as we wish, so my subordinates thought that if we want to control the scale, we must take the initiative. My subordinates suggested that we should level the Lu army to the south." Cui Shang thought for a while before he said.

Jiang Feng's eyes swept across Cui Shang's face, "Bai Ling, do you think Caizhou is going to fight us hard?"

"It's not easy to say." Cui Shang asked for peace, "so his subordinates felt that the initiative must be in our hands."

Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Only when holding a big stick in his hand, someone will listen to his words."

******************************************

When Liu Yansi and Chai Yong received the military order, they looked at each other and smiled.

"Give an order, Governor."

Chai Yong still admired Liu Yansi's boldness. Although he said that before, he did not expect Liu Yansi to accept it. After all, the other party is the governor, and the responsibility for deciding beyond the order must be borne in the future. However, Liu Yansi made a decisive decision.

"Well, order the cavalry to go first, and the scouts will be sent out, especially on the Xiayi line to conduct search and reconnaissance. The news from Wuwentang said that the Caizhou army had already started at the same time as us. It depends on who will move faster now." Liu Yansi nodded.

"If we came from Yongcheng, the Caizhou army would definitely not be able to run ahead of us, but if we set out from the county, hehe, it's really hard to say. If we don't do it well, we have to fight them in Xiayi."

Chai Yong licked his lips. Caizhou Army has always been the victim of the Huai Youjun. Now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, no one is willing to give up.

"No, we don't have that leisure. The prince has an order. Be sure to enter Songzhou first." Liu Yansi shook his head, "pass Yucheng as fast as possible and enter Songzhou!"

With the order issued, the Ziqing Army, which was originally stationed at the foot of Moshan, began to restless like a hornet's nest. The military order was issued quickly, put away the camp tent, followed the cavalry to advance first, and the infantry then advanced towards the northwest.

According to the requirements of the Logistics Department, each army marched in the field for only half a month of food and grass, and subsequent food and grass will be quickly supplemented by the Logistics Department. Therefore, with the issuance of military orders, the grain and grass teams from Xiaoxian had also set off and came along the official road.

From the beginning, the Ziqing Army came with the goal of fighting. Since he had made up his mind to surrender, Liu Yansi naturally hoped to win honors and rewards for his men through war. The reward regulations of the Old Huai Right Army also followed the army of the five towns. This direct reward rules made everyone excited. If they were really fulfilled, it would be worth it to die in battle on the battlefield.

Huaiyou's reward for the death and the disabled is particularly generous, and the most important responsibility of Gongcao is to count the merits of the dead and injured, which is more important than others.

It should be said that the Ziqing Army has not yet fully followed many systems of the Old Huai Right Army. For example, such urgent marches are common for the soldiers of the Old Huai Right Army. Long-distance urgent marches are nothing. Except for the cavalry, other infantry coming from Pinglu began to feel strange after two hours.

As for the infantry army, the old Huai Right Army came in a much better rhythm than those from Pinglu Army, and the physical energy consumption was much better than that of the Pinglu Army.
