Chapter 157 The Eternal Thief
"Is there really a destiny here? The destiny lies with Wu?"

Wu Mingda sneered and said, "Where is the destiny? If there is a destiny, Fu Jinchuan's 5000 troops who killed [-] people will not be wiped out."

Zhang Zhixun shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about destiny, but the king of Wu has at least a few months to breathe. If he handles it properly, he may not be able to continue to deal with the officers and soldiers."

Wu Mingda frowned after hearing this, but didn't say anything.

Pointing to the map, Zhang Zhixun continued, "In the Battle of Hezhou, the king of Wu lost troops and generals, and the navy also suffered heavy losses, but Xue Julin's troops still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so they could go west along the great river and attack Jiangzhou and Raozhou. , Hongzhou, and the entire Jiangnan Road. Although there are many troops in Jiangzhou, the commander-in-chief is newly mourned, and the morale of the army is fluctuating. Deputy Marshal Zhang may not be able to convince everyone. If Jiangzhou can be won, Jingzhou and Ezhou behind him Waiting for the ground will inevitably shake, although we can't go north from Lianghuai, maybe we can get through the road from Jingxiang to the north."

Yaoshi Wu laughed and said, "Brother Zhang thinks, can King Wu succeed?"

Zhang Zhixun shook his head: "In my opinion, it is impossible to fight against the world with a corner of the south of the Yangtze River. If you can't win quickly and cross the Jianghuai River, then you will lose! Even if you fight him to the land of Jingchu, if you want to go north It’s as difficult as reaching the sky, having the opportunity and being able to do it are two different things.”

Pharmacist Wu said: "Then according to Brother Zhang, how will our Yan Palace go next?"

Zhang Zhixun said: "Didn't the King of Yan ask for an order to send three thousand elites to participate in the counter-rebellion a few days ago? Your son can write a letter requesting to lead the army to participate in the counter-rebellion. Let's see how the court responds!"

In Daming Palace, Li Fuzhi and Fu Maoxiu were summoned.The two discussed secretly with the emperor and crown prince for more than an hour.

In the end, it was decided that Prince Zhao Yuantan would be the Grand Marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he would lead a hundred thousand elite soldiers to the south to oversee the Jianghuai war.

Cheng Jintang, who had just been promoted to the Marquis of Wukang, resigned from his post as Deputy Marshal of the Hebei Road Marching Army, and was appointed as a member of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and a guest of the Prince, accompanying the Prince on his southern tour.

Fu Huaichuan, the son of the Duke of England, was appointed as the judge of the Marshal's Mansion and the guest of the Prince.

The post of Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses has only been awarded three times in the Jin Dynasty.

They were when Taizong, Xuanzong and Wuzong were princes.

In other words, this position can only be conferred by the prince who leads the army in person, and he controls the world's soldiers and horses in name.

At the same time, Pharmacist Wu was very surprised that Prince Yan's Mansion was not allowed to send troops to the south to join the war, but Pharmacist Wu's memorial to the war was approved, and he was given the title of the left concubine of the East Palace and Marshal's Mansion to join the army.

Li Shizhong was posthumously presented as King Qiyang, Zhongshuling, Taiwei, and General, with the posthumous title of "Wuxiang".His eldest son, Li Zhaode, was hereditary as the Duke of the State of Wei, and the official Jiawu Sanguan was named General Yunhui.

And stopped for three days.

It can be regarded as extremely mournful and honorable.

However, the so-called three days of quitting the court is just a verbal statement, because from Wuzong to the present, the two brothers did not go to court very much.

The room leak happened to be raining all night. We just received the news that Wei Guogong Li Shizhong died of illness, and the prince was appointed as the marshal to go south to quell the chaos. The court is still waiting for the follow-up report of Jiangzhou's military situation.

But waited for a secret performance from the Jiedu Mansion in Hedong. Feng Shenji, the Duke of Dingguo, was seriously ill.

In Feng Shenji's dictation, he begged the emperor to appoint a competent person to succeed him as Jiedushi so as not to delay state affairs
In Daming Palace, Emperor Daojun was exhausted physically and mentally after watching the secret performance of Dingguo Duke Feng Shenji.

Li Shizhong's death has already caused the court to be in a hurry, if Feng Shenji...
It's not that there are no generals available in the court, but they are as famous as Feng and Li. As long as they are alive, they can shock many young people.

Just like Feng Shenji was there, the Golden Horde Khanate in the north would never dare to set their minds on Hedong.

With Li Shizhong alive, Xue Julin could honestly enter the camp and spend time with the officers and soldiers.

Fu Maoxiu's appearance in Lulongsai can make tens of thousands of Yan troops retreat.

Let me ask Fu Jinchuan if Zhao Deyu, king of Wu in Huainan, still dares to fight Hezhou?
There are not many generals with such prestige in the world!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had not yet left for the south, Li Fuzhi from the Political Affairs Hall, and Fu Maoxiu who was resting at home gathered again in Daming Palace after a few days.

Discuss who can replace Feng Shenji.

In the end, it was Fu Maoxiu's suggestion that became the plan to move the town.

"Shuofang Jiedu envoy Wu Yanghou Yu Luohu was transferred to Hedong Jiedu envoy, Hexi Jiedu deputy envoy Zhang Renyuan was transferred to Shuofang Jiedu envoy, Longyou Jiedu envoy He Ba Guangsi was transferred to Hexi Jiedu envoy, Dingyuanhou Wang Bin was Longyou Jiedu envoy Envoy. The king of Qi is the governor of Yanzhou."

There are many deep meanings in the seemingly random transfers.

For example, the location of Hedong is dangerous. In addition to defending against the Golden Horde in the north, it is also necessary to guard against Liaodong.Because Yunzhou under the rule of Hedong Road is the channel between the Yanshan Mountains and the Yinshan Mountains, it is an excellent passage from Liaodong to the Central Plains.

Therefore, Hedong needed a heavy general to sit in command. Marquis Wuyang Yu Luohu's reputation in the army was second only to Feng Shenji and Li Shizhong, not even under Fu Maoxiu.

After Feng Li, it is most appropriate for him to serve as the Jiedu envoy of Hedong.

Although Zhang Renyuan had general talent, he had stayed in Hexi for more than ten years, and he had to be careful not to lose his tail as the Hexi Jiedu envoy, so he took over as Shuofang and happened to be transferred from Hexi.The same is true for He Ba Guangsi, and he was moved to the town by the way.

The vacancy in Longyou happened to be filled by the Marquis of Dingyuan. After all, Yanzhou was in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so there was an honorable and famous general in this crisis, but it was a bit overkill.

Beginning in late September, the [-] elite began to travel southward by water in batches.

Among the 10 people, 7 people participated in the Pinghengzhou Rebellion, and the other 3 people came from Hedong, Longyou, Hexi, and Shuofang.The elite recruited from the five places in Guanzhong.

The young and strong were also dispatched from the forbidden army to make up for the frontier army's share.After the imperial army was transferred, it also carried out a series of dismantling.

These 10 people were reorganized into eight armies, and the military titles were "Tianwu", "Longwu", "Pengri", "Xiaoguo", "Shenwu", "Shence", "Longjie" and "Huyi".

All the Eighth Armies selected famous generals in the army to serve as military envoys, including Jia Shixun and Shi Wannian, Fu Jinchuan's old acquaintances.

Among the eight armies, the two armies of Pengri and Longwu are composed of the whole cavalry army, and the rest of the armies are all four infantry troops and one capital cavalry army.

One hundred thousand steps to ride Haohao Tangtang to the south.

In Jianye City, King Wu, who had suffered a serious illness, was miraculously cured within a few days after hearing the news of Li Shizhong's death after Xue Julin narrowly won a match.

The first thing after that was to summon two messengers.

One is Pang Zhigu, the military advisor of Honglian Road.

Another dharma name, Yuanjue, represents Wu Renguang, king of Yan.

"Gu is more straightforward and doesn't like to go around in circles. The two of you are old acquaintances, so you might as well talk straight."

In the Yin'an Hall, accompanying Zhao Deyu to meet the two envoys were the eldest son Zhao Chenghao, the governor Xue Julin, and the chief minister Gu Xianglin.

Monk Yuanjue made a gesture of invitation to Pang Zhigu, and Pang Zhigu didn't hesitate, and said directly: "The prince should already know the current situation, we Hongliandao can help the prince to accomplish the matter, the condition is that after the matter is completed, We want Guanzhong, Jiannan, Longyou, and Shuofang. Yanwang Mansion wants Hebei, Gyeonggi, and Hedong. The two Huaihe Rivers, Jiangnan, and Lingnan are all owned by the prince. Our three families will divide the world equally! I don’t know what the prince wants? "

Zhao Deyu smiled after hearing this, "This world belongs to me, Zhao Jin, why should I share it equally with you?"

"Then I don't know if it's Zhao Jin of your lord, or Zhao Jin of Emperor Daojun?"

After Pang Zhigu said this, Zhao Deyu's face turned cold all of a sudden.

These words dealt a great blow to Zhao Deyu.

Because at present he is Wu Ni who is attracting the attention of the world, if there is no external help, don't even think about making things happen, and he doesn't know how long he can keep his wealth and life.

"What about Hexi?"

Zhao Deyu asked after a while.

At this time, the Great Monk Yuanjue said: "Hexi belongs to the Buddhist sect, and it should be the Buddhist kingdom on earth."

Zhao Deyu smiled again after hearing this, and then said: "When is King Yan going to do it? It's not after our officers and soldiers hit Jianye."

Yuan Jue said: "If King Yan didn't do anything, the soldiers and horses in Hebei, Hedong, and Guanzhong couldn't move! The existence of King Yan has already helped the prince very much."

"Hahahahaha, Gu didn't expect you to be so eloquent, Master. Dare to ask Honglian, where are you going to start trouble? How are you going to help Gu?"

Facing Zhao Deyu's questioning, Pang Zhigu smiled and said, "Where in the world can't there be trouble?"

King Wu laughed and said, "Sir, did you say it's Lingnan, Huainan, or Jingchu?"

Pang Zhigu also laughed when he heard the words, "The prince will know when the time comes."

"Okay, please go to rest, both of you, I need to think about such an important matter."

"Waiting for the good news of the prince."

Seeing Pang Zhigu and Yuan Jue retreating together, Zhao Deyu's eyes gradually became gloomy.

After a while, he sighed again.

"I am an eternal rebel from the Jin Dynasty."
