Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 274
"Yan and Yu are each other's lips and teeth. Today's Northeast Expedition in Jiangxi has the intention of plotting Yanzhou. I heard that the governor sent troops to Qingzhou. I would like to block the army of Jiangdong for the governor, thinking that the two families will form a good relationship!"

Li Yue looked back and forth several times, and sure enough, Zhang Yu and Jiang Dong couldn't get along.

With his letter, Li Yue felt relieved.

During this period in history, neither Huan Wen nor Yin Hao had a successful Northern Expedition.

"The governor's plan to divorce is complete!" A rare smile appeared on Chang Wei's serious face.

"It's not that the plan of alienation was successful, but that Jiang Dong has never looked at the generals of the Central Plains. The south and the north are safe in a short time. It's time to close the net and wipe out Yao Xiang and Shi Kun!"

Strategies are all determined by the person and follow the trend.

Zhang Yu was willing to give up his hometown Xuchang, and his sincerity was enough, but Jiang Dong favored one and treated Yao Yizhong and his son generously, and treated Zhang Yu indifferently.

Zhang Yu can climb to the position of one of the princes, he must not be a good man and a faithful woman.

"The governor has an order to wipe out the bandit army!"

More than 30 messengers rushed away.

Soon, as if waking up from a deep sleep, the army stood up with spears, pointing at the sky...

Xuchang a few days ago.

Zhang Yu was very depressed. As a native of Jin, he naturally felt a little close to the Jiangdong court.

His requirements are not high, he can be appointed as a county marquis, and he can spend the rest of his life peacefully in the south of the Yangtze River, raising flowers, planting trees, reading books and so on.

There is no way, Yuzhou is sandwiched between the north and the south, Zhang Yu is not young anymore, he has reached the age of knowing his destiny.

Yuzhou's destiny is either to surrender to the north or to surrender to the south.

However, Xu Chang gave it away, but the imperial court's reward has never come down.

However, a few days ago, news came from the north that Yao Yizhong did not dedicate a piece of land, but he was named envoy festival, general of chariots, governor of the six barbarians, great chanyu, governor of the Jianghuai military forces, and Kaifu Yitong. Secretary, Duke of Gaoling County.

The array of titles is dizzying.

Even Yao Xiang was named General of Pingbei and Governor of Bingzhou by the Jin Dynasty, that is, Duke of Qiu County...

Comparing the two sides, Zhang Yu's mood can be imagined.

He is cautious by nature, but he can endure it, but his subordinates are all jealous.

"It's chilling that the imperial court treats the imperial court with all their heart and soul!" said adopted son Wang Ning.

"Recently, people in the army and the people are spreading the story of Su Jun and Zu Yue, so you don't know?" Zhai Jing, a newly recruited staff member, had eyes twinkling.

Su Jun and Zu Yue were more loyal than Zhang Yu back then, throwing their heads and blood for Jiangdong.

Helped to quell the Wangdun Rebellion, but how did Jiangdong treat them?Fearing that they would take a share of the pie, those nobles of the scholar family forced the two of them against each other...

"We have already surrendered to the imperial court, how can we break our promise?" Zhang Yu tried his best to appease everyone.

"It's not that we are unkind and unrighteous, but that the court is unfair!"

Zhang Yurong enjoyed the luxury and wealth, but his subordinates did not.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Yu had led soldiers for most of his life, so he naturally knew what his subordinates were thinking.

Blind suppression will only make the gentry feel more and more resentful.

"The envoy holds fifty thousand healthy soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians. Why should he be so angry? Where can the Murong family, Fu family, and Yanzhou go?"

There was a faint light in everyone's eyes.

Zhang Yu wanted to return to Jiangdong, but they didn't.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yu said: "Wait for a meeting with General Anxi for a while, check his tone, and then act, you wait for your own preparations."

"Wei!" Everyone cupped their hands.

Before surrendering, Xie Shang showed great respect to Zhang Yuli, but after surrendering, Xie Shang changed his face.

In terms of status, one is General Anxi, and the other is Yuzhou Mu and Fang vassals.

When the two met, their status was reversed. Xie Shang was always lukewarm because of Zhang Yufei's family background.

"Recently there have been rumors in the army, I wonder how the imperial court will arrange my Yuzhou soldiers?" Zhang Yuke was polite.

Xie Shang didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, "Xunzi has a saying: gossip stops at the moment, gossip stops at the wise. Restraining the subordinates is a matter for Zhang envoys."

"Yao Yizhong and his son were enshrined by the imperial court, but the general knows?" Zhang Yunai changed the subject impatiently.

Xie Shang cupped his hands and turned to the south, "The decision of the imperial court is beyond your judgment. Mr. Zhang is loyal to the country, why should he care about a little reward? After the matter is completed, the imperial court will not forget the meritorious deeds of the envoy."

It sounds good, but there is no substance.

Zhang Yu's face darkened, and it was not difficult to see from Xie Shang's attitude that the Jiangdong court didn't take Yuzhou seriously at all.

"Mr. Zhang, if you have nothing else to do, rest early. Tomorrow morning, you will go to Luoyang. The imperial court will reward you, and the governor of Yin will be fair." Xie Shang's eyes flashed a trace of contempt, his condescending expression seemed to be giving alms.

Xie Shang, who was born in a famous family, naturally disdain to make friends with a vagrant commander or a traitor from the Northern Kingdom.

The only people who can catch his eyes are celebrities and gentry.

It just so happened that Zhang Yu didn't take both.

Xie Shang's attitude was actually the Jiangdong court's attitude towards Zhang Yu.

Even though he was restraining himself, his eyes still showed from time to time.

Zhang Yu was thinking deeply, how could he not see it?

"The general rests earlier, it's cool at night, cover up with more brocade fur." ​​The gloom on Zhang Yu's face disappeared, and his tone became more gentle.

"I'm sorry to send you off." Xie Shang felt something was wrong.

The aides and generals were vigilant and said: "Zhang Yu must have no good intentions if he is arrogant before and respectful later. Since ancient times, he has been beheaded when he is surrendered. Don't neglect the righteousness."

Xie Shangran said that he ordered the Jin army to sleep in armor and put their arms on their heads, and be careful.

But this night, there was nothing outside the camp except for a few shadows looking like lonely souls. Seeing that the Jin army was waiting in full force, those shadows dispersed.

The next day, without even saying hello to Zhang Yu, Xie Shang and Zhang Yu directly sent troops out of the city and rushed towards Luoyang.

What happened in the next few days left Xie Shang dumbfounded.

Under the guise of Jiangdong, Zhang Yu dispatched Qingqi to quickly defraud Luoyang, and blocked all the northbound checkpoints in Yuzhou.

Yin Hao's army was piled up in Mi County, unable to advance or retreat, the [-] army was just stuck in the middle of the road.

The counties and counties that had surrendered to Jiangdong quickly turned their backs and drove away the officials sent by Jiangdong.

Within ten days, Jiangdong's excellent situation was in vain, and the situation was reversed.

Yin Hao and the others only thought that things would happen when it happened, they were not prepared for a big battle at all, and the morale of the Jin army was low.

"Zhang met a thief, broke his promise!" Xie Shang blushed, as a celebrity, he didn't have any tricks in cursing.

As soon as he uttered these words, there was a lot of smoke and dust behind him.

A team of cavalry came chasing down, and a "Zhang" toothbrush was erected on the plain.

"Don't leave, Xie Shang!"

Xie Shang was shocked, seeing the ferocious approach of the enemy army, he did not dare to fight, and fled in panic.

The people behind him are chasing after him.

Although Xie Shang was as cowardly as a chicken, the soldiers under his command were quite brave. He knew that if he pursued like this, he would surely die.

The Jin army protected Xie Shang and fought and retreated.

I can't go back to the southeast, so I can only go southwest and return to Jiangdong from Jingxiang.

Jiangdong's Northern Expedition came to an end in such a ridiculous way.
