"Is General Yu familiar with the generals of the Taining Army?"

This question is the key. Hou Chen hopes that Yu Mingzhen can contact the generals of the Taining Army. This is also the second major event he came here this time. The first major event is naturally to clarify Yu Mingzhen's intention and idea of ​​joining Huaiyou. The second is to plan the Yan and Yun prefectures.

"How to look at this, I led my army north to fight a few battles with the Taining Army, but it was called a war, but to be precise, it was an expulsion and occupation. The current situation of the Taining Army, especially the troops stationed in Yizhou, was powerless and had no intention of fighting. I expelled them and occupied the county town, and they actually had nowhere to go. They just wandered in the fields outside the city, and even publicly asked me for food. Even I felt pitiful and ridiculous. The Taining Army was once a strong army across the Central Plains, but it had fallen to this point. It was sad and pitiful."

Yu Mingzhen's words were also full of emotion and reluctance.

For an army, the biggest problem is later support. It is said that the army will go first before moving the food and grass, which shows the importance of logistics support. If a soldier in an army cannot even eat enough, his military discipline, fighting will and desire to fight can be imagined, let alone daily training.

The Taining Army has been on the verge of bankruptcy, but it was lucky to survive in the past few years. However, this time, the Taining Army could not survive. The three consecutive droughts made the three prefectures of Yan, Yun and Yi suddenly became purgatory on earth. Even ordinary gentry could not survive. How could the people live in a fight? Apart from escaping, there was no other way. The people could escape. What about the army? Could it be that they also fled? Losing territory, what about this army? What about the army?

This is the sadness of the Taining Army.

Zhu Mao was unable to take care of both. Except for his most confidant four armies, he could only let go. He could not take care of whether he went up the mountain to serve as a bandit, went down the water to serve as a bandit, or a disaster to the place.

"Oh? There are such interesting things?" Hou Chen couldn't help laughing, but this was a good thing. The more difficult the Taining army was, the easier it was to recruit. When an army could not even fill the belly of the soldiers, it was conceivable to imagine its loyalty to the lord.

"It's not that there are such interesting things, but happening repeatedly." Yu Mingzhen shook his head, "So I suggest that Hou be engaged in contact with the Taining Army in Yizhou and directly recruit them. They don't have much demand, just to seek food and clothing. Moreover, their army has a good foundation and only needs a little rectification to restore combat effectiveness. The only thing that can be aroused is the military discipline issue, but as long as they ensure their logistics, food and fodder, I think these problems should be controlled and solved."

"At present, only the 1236th Army of Taining Right Army, the 1236th Army and the 6th Army are in Xintai, while the 23rd Army is near Linyi, and the 5th Army of Taining Left Army is in Fei County. I want to ask General Yu to contact the heads of the 23rd Army of Taining Right Army and the 5th Army of Taining Left Army for me first, and then set off for Xintai to lobby for the 1st Army of Taining Right Army and the 6th Army."

Without further ado, Hou Chen was unwilling to delay the day. The war in Xuzhou was in full swing, but Hou Chen believed that within a month, the battle in Xuzhou would come to an end. He had to do these things before the end of the battle in Xuzhou. Since the matter on Yu Mingzhen has been finalized, he would complete his second mission. Not only would he lobby the Taining Army in Yizhou to surrender, he would also go straight to Yanzhou and seize greater contributions.

"Taining Right Army Second Army, Third Army and Left Army Fifth Army are close to each other. It is easy to move, but Xintai's First Army and Sixth Army are far away. In addition, they have not moved them before. Although they are exhausted, they are used to being arrogant and arrogant. I am afraid they are not obeying the king's law. Hou should be cautious when engaging in the work." Yu Mingzhen saw that the other party was so anxious, and could understand the other party's thoughts, but for the sake of the other party's safety, he had to remind the other party: "In Xintai, I can accompany Hou to work on a trip."

"No, General Yu is in charge of Yizhou, so you can't leave easily. Please arrange for one person to go with someone. After going to Xintai, he plans to go to Laiwu and Qianfeng." Hou Chen smiled and said, "If there are brothers under the general who are familiar with Hong Kui and Lang Kun, then it's best."

"Ah?" Yu Mingzhen was shocked, "Hou is going to Yanzhou?"

"General Yu doesn't think there is anything wrong with it?" Hou Chen asked in surprise.

"Well, that's not what it means. It's just that Hong Kui and Lang Kun are both tough and wild people. I'm afraid it's not easy to convince them. There are people familiar with each other among the two subordinates, but if they are the southern part of Yanzhou and Yunzhou, they are not very familiar with each other. I don't know if Lu Qiming has already surrendered to the emperor. If so, let Lu Qiming arrange people to go north to southern part of Yanzhou and Yunzhou. He is more familiar with the generals of the Taining Army here."

Yu Mingzhen's words made Hou Chen ponder for a moment, "General Yu, I don't know if General Lu is the same as General, but according to some of the rules, our Huaiyou is indeed related to General Lu, but at that point, I don't know, but I will send a message back to Shouzhou and ask him to contact General Lu, and I believe there will be a good result."

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

Yu Ming was really very efficient, or the three armies stationed by the Taining Army near Linyi were already on the verge of despair, so when the invitation was issued, the general of the commander-in-chief of the three armies came soon.

The three generals of Taining Army did not resist much about Hou Chen and Yu Mingzhen's attitude, and they could even be said to be overjoyed.

It is not a secret that Huaiyou entered Xuzhou. Fu Li was attacked by Huaiyou, and Lu Qiming and Yu Mingzhen's attitudes directly affected these Taining Army generals. It can be said that the food in the entire Huaibei and even Yanyun now comes from Huaiyou. Huaiyou has become the real savior. Without food, even the arrogant army cannot survive.

After finalizing the ownership of the three armies, the three armies were reorganized in Linyi. According to Hou Chen's idea, it was necessary to say that the two armies stationed in Xintai would join in, so that they could obtain more than 5,000 remaining troops. As for how to integrate and reorganize, it depends on the attitude of the Observatory Office. It can be directly reorganized into two armies or appropriately expanded into three armies, which must be decided by Jiang Feng.

However, after receiving the guarantee of Hou Chen's status and the food, supplies and supplies of these soldiers, the Taining Army soldiers were relieved. This kind of life without any further meals was too difficult. If this continued, no one would need to attack them. They would all part ways, either become bandits or disperse in the wilderness.

When they arrived at Xintai and Taining Left Army, the inclusion negotiations of the Sixth Army were also going well. The two armies now have less than 2,000 people. In Hou Chen's opinion, these two armies are almost no different from the beggar army.

There were only more than ten war horses left. You should know that these two armies originally had a cavalry battalion.

There is no big opinion on Hou Chen's proposal to reorganize the two armies. The specific scale of the reorganization should be determined by Huaiyou Observation and Disposal Envoy. After all, there are only less than 2,000 people left, and even one army cannot be enough. Even if the officer system still exists, it will take time to recover and even money and food support is needed.

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

On the evening of the second day of July, Jiang Feng led the First Army and the Tenth Army advanced to Xuzhou first. At this time, Pang Yuan's Liang army was fighting with Lu Qiming's Invasion Army. The two armies of Zhuang Yongsheng also had the Zhao Yu army of Shangyunxi, Shangyunxi and Meikuang, and the Qin and Han armies were still in a state of anxiety. Fires broke out in the city, and a large number of scholars and civilians avoided the war.

After learning that Jiang Feng had entered the city, whether it was Shang Yunxi, Pang Yuan, or Lu Qiming, Mei Kuang, or Shi Fengdu, he even felt relieved. This war of little significance could finally come to an end.

Pang Yuan had long since wanted to fight, but to achieve this, he dared not stop easily, otherwise he would be unable to explain to the Chongzhengyuan of Bianjing. Shang Yunxi would not dare to stop. It was impossible for him to be silent while Pang Yuan was still in full swing, so he would have become a person inside and outside. Therefore, before the decisive big shots came, this inexplicable war could not be stopped.

Now Jiang Feng finally entered the city, and Li He also rushed from Bian Jing day and night to Xuzhou. He was walking on the water route, from Laoju River, and it is said that he had passed Mengzhuze.

Jiang Feng's entry into the city marks the official end of the Xuzhou war. Although everyone had realized that Xuzhou was irreversible in the hands of Huaiyou, as long as Jiang Feng had not arrived, everyone felt that Xuzhou was not yet Xuzhou in Huaiyou. However, when Jiang Feng entered the city, everyone should stop and fight for their own interests through verbal slap.

Looking at the gradually extinguished fire and smoke, Jiang Feng also remained silent.

He didn't expect that after a few days of slowing down, the city of Xuzhou became like this, almost knocking out the dog's brains, and the two sides of the war were Lu Qiming and Pang Yuan's Liang army.

One of the four armies of Lu Qiming was destroyed, with only one battalion remaining, while the other army had only three armies left. Similarly, the Liang army also suffered considerable losses, and two armies suffered more than a thousand people.

The showdown between the Huai You Army and Shang Yunxi tribe was the same. Zhuang Yongsheng's two armies were only less than 2,000 people left, and the losses were heavy. The gap between his army and the elites of Shang Yunxi suddenly appeared; the showdown between Mei Kuang and Qin Han and Shang Yunxi was quite unsatisfactory, and no one took much advantage. Of course, this also has something to do with everyone's intentional or unintentional tacit understanding.
