Li Jing laughed to the sky, and he stopped laughing and said coldly: "It is just to say that Li Yuan is the Li family in Longxi, and it is just to coax those ignorant stupid people and fools. If Li Yuan is the Li family in Longxi, can he gain a foothold in Guanlong nobles? Don't get close to him. He is just after the Hu people in the six towns, and has nothing to do with the Li family in Longxi."

The warrior's face turned red and white, and he had to reluctantly say, "I don't know whether it is a member of the Li clan, but one thing is clear. If the general is willing to be loyal to Chang'an, the King of Tang promised to add the general to the Prince of Yuyang County, with a fief of 5,000 households."

Li Jing snorted softly, instead of answering the words of the warrior, he asked back: "Have Zhang Xuan accepted your enthronement?"

"I'm going south to Beihai County tomorrow."

"Does Wu Shenjun think Zhang Xuan accept it? We might as well be honest."

The warrior shook his head, "If Zhang Xuan was willing to accept it, we would have gone to find him long ago. The Tang King once said that if Zhang Xuan was willing to surrender to Chang'an, the emperor could even grant him the King of Qi, with a fief of ten thousand households, but I personally think that Zhang Xuan still looks down on the King of Qi."

"He is not looking down on King Qi!"

Li Jing sneered and said, "He just doesn't like the King of Qi you have. If the Lord of Qi is named King of Qi, how could he not accept it? Of course, the Lord I am talking about is not your fake emperor in Chang'an, but the real Emperor of Sui."

The warrior smiled bitterly, "I really find it difficult to answer this, but can the general give me a clear answer?"

Li Jing pulled out an arrow, and broke it into two pieces with a 'crack!'. He handed the broken arrow to the warrior, "You give it to Li Yuan, this is my answer!"

The warrior was helpless and had to take the broken arrow and bowed to Li Jing, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb the general, we will have a date later!"

Li Jing stood up and said coldly to his subordinates: "Send Wu Senjun out of the camp."

Just half an hour after Samurai left the Lushui Cang, Zhang Xuan received information from the scouts on the banks of the Juma River. Samurai was expelled from the warehouse gate and was in a very embarrassing state, which means Samurai said that the surrender of Li Jing was not successful.

This was also expected by Zhang Xuan. With Li Jing's character, how could he easily surrender to Li Yuan's bribery? Li Yuan wanted to conquer Li Jing not by bribery. He had to be under certain conditions, and Li Jing might surrender, but Li Yuan could not get this condition unless he led his army to Hebei.

Zhang Xuan paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his hands. What would happen if he tried to persuade Li Jing himself? Although it was his plan to conquer Li Jing, Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that the time was not yet ripe, and taking action too early would only backfire.

At this time, Pei Hong said next to him: "Warrior convinced Li Jing to fail, then his next step should be to persuade the general. Although he also knew that the possibility was not high, Bei Zhi felt that he would come."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I won't see him even if he comes. Some things are meaningless if you put them bluntly."

"Since that's the case, why didn't the general publicly denounce Li Yuan, denounce him as ****, and call on heroes from all over the world to fight him together?"

Pei Hong's suggestion also touched Zhang Xuan's heart. Zhang Xuan has been thinking about this matter these days. The benefits are self-evident. He can claim to be orthodox and is famous for his military career, but there are also disadvantages, that is, he will fall into a passive position in the future. Moreover, Li Yuan is very smart. He supported the Emperor Yang You of Dai to be the emperor. Even if he scolded him as a rebellious person, it would not seem that the effect would not be great. After all, he has not usurped the throne yet.

So Zhang Xuan has been hesitating about this matter these days, and the key is to look at the news from Jiangdu.

While he was thinking, Fang Xuanling quickly walked into the tent and said with a smile on his face: "Master, the news of Jiangdu is here!"

Zhang Xuan was excited. This was the news he had been waiting for for a long time. He hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Fang Xuanling handed the information to Zhang Xuan and smiled and said, "The exact time is on the Zhongyuan Festival. There are still twenty-three days left before today, and time is already very tight."

Zhang Xuan looked at the information, pondered for a moment, and then said to Fang Xuanling: "We must withdraw our troops south to Hejian County, so that Luo Shixin can lead 10,000 troops to station in Hejian County, and the rest of the troops will retreat to Beihai County."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuan said to Pei Hong again: "I guess the warrior will come to Hejian County soon. Pei Joined the Army is responsible for dealing with him, so he told him openly that I would not see him and asked him to go back directly."

"I understand!"

Pei Hong gave a gift and hurried away. Zhang Xuan said to Fang Xuanling again: "Sir, please tell Li Qingming that he should pay attention to Yuwen Zhiji's every move. If you have any information, you can send it directly to Donghai County."

"Is the Grand Marshal sure he wants to go to Donghai County?"

Zhang Xuan nodded, "We will try this if we can get Yu Wenji's wedding dress."

"What should I do here on Luo Yi?"

"Luo Yi is not in a hurry!"

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "We also need to create conditions for Luo Yi to let him and Li Jinghuo join forces, and wait until the two of them fight against the crane clams, we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Zhang Xuan's army left Juma overnight and retreated south. Zhang Xuan immediately appointed Xu Shiji and Luo Shixin to lead 10,000 troops to station Shanggu County and Hejian County to prevent Luo Yi from leading the army south. Zhang Xuan immediately led his army to leave Hebei and rushed to Beihai County.

Four days later, the army arrived in Beihai County, but Zhang Xuan had no rest time. He immediately led 30,000 elite soldiers on board and headed south, and asked Pei Xingyan to lead 10,000 cavalry from Langya County to Donghai County. The navy and land armies secretly met in Donghai County.

Donghai County was a foundation secretly established by Zhang Xuan when he was the recruitment envoy of Jianghuai. After several years of operation, Donghai Island has become a transit station for Qingzhou Army to move south. Qingzhou Army built a large warehouse on the Donghai Island, storing thousands of stones of grain, and also built large military camps and docks. There are usually 3,000 garrisons and more than 100 permanent ships.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, hundreds of ships arrived on the East China Island with tens of thousands of soldiers. The East China Island Guard Zhao Zhi led more than a dozen generals to the pier to welcome the arrival of Qingzhou Army Commander Zhang Xuan.

"See the head coach!" Everyone knelt on one knee and saluted.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said to everyone: "Thank you for your hard work, please get up quickly!"

Everyone stood up, and Zhang Xuan said again: "Let everyone guard the island for almost a year. After this mission is over, we will change defenses. You can go back to Beihai County to reunite with your family."

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked each other. At this time, Zhang Xuan asked again: "Are General Pei and his cavalry coming?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, General Pei arrived a few days ago, stationed on land, not on the island for the time being."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Is there anything wrong with Donghai County during this period?"

"Report to the Grandmaster, everything is very peaceful."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "The eldest son of Prime Minister Yu is in Donghai County and said he came to see the Grand Marshal on his father's order. I don't know how he would find out that the Grand Marshal would come to Donghai County?"

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned. He was actually Yu Shiji's son. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is this person now?"

"Report to the general, this person is in the military camp now."

"Go to the military camp first!"

Zhang Xuan and everyone came to the military camp. The central army tent had been laid. Zhang Xuan walked into the tent and sat down. The personal soldiers brought him tea. While drinking tea, Zhang Xuan considered Yu Shiji's arrangements. This was Yu Shiji's plan for the future. Like Pei Ju, these high-ranking officials could feel that the Sui Dynasty was about to collapse, so they all considered their own way of retreat. Compared to Pei Ju's foresight, Yu Shiji was still one step later.

But Yu Shiji put the future of the Yu family on himself, unlike the Pei family who was walking on two boats. In comparison, the Yu family is more sincere.

Of course, the Yu family is a famous family in Jiangnan. If they can get the support of the Yu family, it will have an important influence on their future gaining a foothold in Jiangnan. Among the Yu family, Zhang Xuan admires Yu Shinan more, rather than Yu Shiji's sons. However, Yu Shiji's sons are all good, and they can be used except for his stepson Xiahou Yan.

Soon, several soldiers brought Yu Xi in. Yu Xi had to admire his father's foresight. Zhang Xuan really came to Donghai County. He walked into the tent and bowed, "See Duke of Qi!"

"So it's Mr. Yu. Long time no see you. Is it good?" Zhang Xuan said with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern to the general. My father is very good. He has a letter to the general."

Yu Xi took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Zhang Xuan with both hands. Zhang Xuan took it and opened it and read it. Yu Shiji was full of praise for himself in the letter. At the end of the letter, Yu Shiji begged to take care of his son and the Yu family. As sincerity, he was willing to support the Qingzhou army from many years, and at the same time he would do his best to advance himself.

This made Zhang Xuan a little interested. Although he is not short of military expenditure for the time being, the more money it is, the better. Once he expands in the future, he will need a lot of money.

Yu Shiji also needs to find a way to promote himself, but he doesn't know how he can do it?

Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry to withdraw money and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yu no longer becomes Fuxilang now?"

"I have resigned and I am just white now."

Yu Xi felt a little nervous. He had already talked about what position Zhang Xuan could give him at the most critical moment. When he saw Zhang Xuan pondering, his heart was pounding.

At this time, Yu Xi suddenly remembered something and secretly scolded himself for being confused. He quickly took out the jade pendant and said, "My father divided the gains from many years into two parts, one for the family and the other for the Qingzhou army. My father sent the one for the Qingzhou army to the Wang family in Taiyuan. This jade pendant can be taken out."

Zhang Xuan nodded secretly. He was still thinking about how Yu Shiji planned to give his money to him. It turned out that he had stored it in the Wang family in Taiyuan. Yu Xi was more honest than his father. Zhang Xuan took the jade pendant and said with a smile: "I can understand the sincerity of the Yu Xiangguo and the Yu family. I very much welcome Mr. Yu. I believe that Mr. Yu's talent is useful in me. If Mr. Yu does not dislike him, he can temporarily serve as a military advisor and assist Mr. Fang. He urgently needs a capable assistant."

Yu Xi was overjoyed and bowed again, "I wish to serve the general!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and then ordered his personal soldiers to say, "Please come here!"
