Above the head of Ezhou city, Xiang Zhen and Liu Xinda sat opposite each other and drank.

Xiang Zhen drank a glass of wine with a smug heart and smiled at Liu Xinda, "General Liu, you will naturally be guarding this Ezhou City in the future. Even Eyue is yours."

Liu Xinda looked up at the Tang flag flying on the top of the newly restored city gate building, but felt emotion in his heart. Not long ago, there were still a big beam flag flying here.

It's really a big king flag that changes from the city wall.

It's funny that people are still the people from the past, but they just changed their flag.

"E Yue is now three points." He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Liu Xinda said: "It seems that Qian Biao accounts for the majority, we account for part, and Li Gan controls the other part."

Xiang Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Li Gan occupied a lot of land just to facilitate the attack on the Zhongwu Army. As for Qian Biao, do you think he deserves too much attention from us?"

"He is now very strong." Liu Xinda said.

Xiang Zhen yelled twice: "The reason why he is strong is just because he surrenders to Li Ze. He rises up because of others, but he will fall because of others. So, once the time is ripe, I think that with General Liu's ability to deal with him is just a matter of turning his hands on his hands."

Liu Xinda smiled slightly, raised her glass to drink, and touched Xiang Zhendian's glass, raised her head and drank all the wine in the glass. Speaking of which, Liu Xinda really didn't take Qian Biao seriously.

He brought the pot and poured wine to Xiang Zhen. Liu Xinda said, "I don't understand some things. Since Xiang Shuai is interested in clearing the emperor's side, isn't it a great opportunity now? Li Ze's army gathered in Henan, and the land of Guanzhong confronted Daliang. At this time, Zhang Zhongwu came from the northeast, and Zhu Yougui would also go out of Shu. If Xiang Shuai launched a large army to attack Li Ze, wouldn't he be able to achieve his merits in one battle?"

Xiang Zhen smiled: "General Liu is still in love with the most important things!"

Liu Xinda put down his wine glass and said, "Although Xinda has returned to Xiang Shuai, he always has a friendship with the old master. Manager Xiang will not blame him for this, right?"

Xiang Zhen waved his hand generously, "Of course not. It is precisely because General Liu has this sentiment that Xiang values ​​someone more and believes that General Liu promises a thousand gold."

"Thank you for your trust in the head."

"We have actually not considered what General Liu said." Xiang Zhen said: "It's just that the army under Li Ze is strong. The 12 guards of the Tang Dynasty, put aside Xue Chong, Li Cunchong, Zhang Jia, and the other nine guards, all gathered together this time. More than 300,000 people! These 300,000 people are all armored soldiers and elite armed forces. This is not counting their navy."

Liu Xinda was also speechless.

Raising soldiers requires money. Raising soldiers like Li Ze requires a lot of money. If you change to another person, there would be no financial resources to raise such a strong army. Even when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, there were no such many permanent soldiers.

Li Ze's skills in governing the people and his ability to make money are indeed unprecedented.

"Li Ze is alive, and his troops are like iron plates under his rule. All the places under his rule will unite. It is almost impossible to defeat such a Tang army." Xiang Zhen shook his head and said, "Even if it is us, and Zhu Youzhen, it is impossible. General Liu, you have a few battles with the Tang army. You should have an insight. This time, the attack on your Right Qianniu Guard is not their main force. There are only a few thousand people among them. The remaining tens of thousands of Right Qianniu Guards are still in Wuyi!"

Liu Xinda nodded with emotion. How could he not feel the combat effectiveness of the Tang army?

"So, we must maintain this relationship with him now." Xiang Zhen stood up and held the wall and said, "Let the Tang army fight to the death with the pseudo-liang. The pseudo-liang centipede insects will die without being stiff. Cao Xuan, Xu Fu and others are all famous generals in the world. They also have a good geographical advantage, with large cities in Henan, Luoyang's defense is tight, and the four gates around Chang'an, that is not a flesh-and-blood mill. The Tang army fought all the way, and when they really arrived at the city of Chang'an, they were probably quite depleted."

Liu Xinda nodded.

"If Li Ze is dead again at this time!" Xiang Zhen turned around suddenly, "Then the world will really change."

"If Zhen is as the general manager said, the Tang army will inevitably be divided." Liu Xinda said. Xiang Zhen did not explain clearly how Li Ze would die, but obviously, Xiang Zhen must have made some arrangements, otherwise Xiang Zhen would not have said so confidently. For Xiang, he was just a partner who could use it, not a confidant. Naturally, he would not tell himself clearly about such a secret matter.

If it is really successful, there is no doubt that Xiang will definitely become the most powerful force in the world. The Liang army was defeated by the Tang army first. Even if Chang'an was not compromised in the end, it would only be trapped in the lonely city, which is not worth mentioning.

Li Ze died. Even if the Tang army was not as broken into pieces as Xiang Zhen said, it would definitely be worse than before. If the leader died, it would be so difficult to rebuild a leader.

Just think about Daliang and understand.

As soon as Zhu Wen died, Daliang, which was once prosperous, had an internal strife in an instant. After a big battle, the third brother killed the eldest brother, and the second brother seized the other party, and suddenly fell into decline.

"In this way, once Zhang Zhongwu wins a great victory in the Northeast, our biggest enemy in the future will be Zhang Zhongwu." Liu Xinda said.

"Zhang Zhongwu was lying on firewood and tasting gall in the northeast, and finally regained his strength. This time, this counterattack, is Xue Chong an opponent? A guy who relies on betraying the family, haha, I am afraid that he will be defeated by Zhang Zhongwu when he fights. But we don't need to worry too much about Zhang Zhongwu. Before he wants to fight with us, he will defeat the Tang army in the middle. Even if Li Ze is gone, it will not be easy for Zhang Zhongwu to easily defeat the Tang army!" Xiang Zhen smiled and said, "At that time, it will be a turmoil in the world. The Eight Immortals will cross the river and show their magical powers."

"Xiang Shuai is well-planned!" Liu Xinda stood up and walked to Xiang Zhen's side, and said sincerely: "Although this is the case, I am not sure, but if the most powerful party is destroyed, the rest of the people will have a chance. The Xiang family is indeed the one with the greatest chance. After all, the Xiang family has integrated the power in the southeast direction."

"So General Liu, it is the most correct choice for you to join us." Xiang Zhen smiled and said, "The future glory and wealth are far more than that!"

Liu Xinda nodded with a smile.

There were sounds of hooves outside the city. The two of them looked up and saw a banner with a word "money" from afar. In just a moment, they arrived under the city tower. More than a hundred cavalry stood up and stood with their horses. The leader was Qian Biao.

At this moment, Qian Biao pulled the horse, stared at the two people on the city tower with anger.

Xiang Zhen smiled slightly, turned around, picked up the wine glass from the table, raised it at Qian Biao under the city, and laughed: "Qian Observer, Xiang is ready for wine and food here, why not come and drink a glass together?"

Qian Biao snorted coldly, but was too lazy to answer. He clamped his legs and took the guards away.

Looking at Qian Biao who was leaving, Xiang Zhen raised his glass and drank it all, and said lightly: "Why should you take such a mediocre person to heart? General Liu, next, you can make a plan slowly, hoping that when the time comes, you will come out and swallow it up in one bite."

"Should be like this!" Liu Xinda said.

Pingzhou, the right Jinwu Guard Headquarters.

Since Zhang Zhongwu began to deploy troops on a large scale and small-scale conflicts occurred on the border between Pingzhou and Liaozhou, Xue Chong moved his general's headquarters to Jianchang. Tens of thousands of Right Jinwu Guards used Jianchang as a hub to build defense lines in Jianping, Lingyuan, Suizhong and other places, waiting for the battle to fight against the invading enemies at any time.

Although Xiang Zhen looked down on Xue Chong very much, Xue Chong was ambitious and prepared to do a great cause. Seeing that Li Ze's great cause was about to be successful, if he could block Zhang Zhongwu for Li Ze during the attack on Chang'an, then at that time, he would naturally have made a lot of contributions to his little contribution.

But Xue Chong was also very clear about his ability. Compared with Zhang Zhongwu, he was indeed not as talented as possible, but this does not mean that he did not have the idea of ​​defeating the other party.

This idea comes from the strength of the troops under his command and the efforts made by Pingzhou and Mozhou in recent years for this war.

All he and Li Anmin have done over the years for this moment.

Xue Chong knew that he had a shallow foundation, and that he had the great enemy Xue Ping in the court. Although Xue Ping had always been inconsistent with Li Xiang, Li Xiang did not do anything to him. Instead, he repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks. In addition, Xue Ping has made great contributions in the Western Regions, which made Xue Chong even more alert. If he could not go further and always suppress Xue Ping, he was afraid that his future life would be difficult.

Therefore, when Li Anmin was there, he always dominated Li Anmin. When Wang Wenshu came, he still cooperated with him happily. Because these two people, one was Li Ze's second uncle and the other was Cao Xin's in-laws, were both people with strong backgrounds and unparalleled combinations. They would naturally have more guarantees in the future.

But he didn't expect that at this critical moment, Li Ze actually sent Han Qi again.

Although the official position of Northeast Pacifier is unheard of and is clearly a false position, Li Ze's letter to him clearly wrote that this time the war was mainly Han Qi.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

After all, Li Xiang was still worried about him.

Wang Wenshu looked at Xue Chong who was frowning opposite him and smiled and said, "Brother Xue, you think too much. Li has never changed his trust with you."

"Since that's the case, why do you still send Han Qi?"

"I also received a letter from Xiang Li." Wang Wenshu said: "Brother Xue, Han Qi, this person has been dealing with Zhang Zhongwu for many years. When it comes to military talents, this person is indeed above us."

"But this person is not loyal to Li Xiang."

"Li Xiang has its own deep meaning to use people." Wang Wenshu said: "Brother Xue, I have not seen Li Xiang miss it for so many years, so I would like to advise you here. Since it is mainly based on him, then no matter how uncomfortable we two feel, they must focus on official duties and must not act voluntarily. No matter what, when the war is at that time, you will still use your soldiers. If you win, you will not be able to escape your credit."
