Section 78 The situation, the dilemma

Shang Yunxi is not stupid.

He knew very well what was the reason why he was still a little important in Daliang's mind. If he had no more than 10,000 people, even if he was at the level of martial arts, he would be just a martial arts master and had no mention at all.

It would never be possible for him to consume more than 10,000 troops in the duel with Zhu Mao.

"Hong Kong He and Zhu Mao are all elite soldiers and horses. And relying on Xiaqiu Jiancheng, let alone whether these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can successfully break through the blockade of the three southern counties of Yanzhou. Even if you can pass, how many can you still be left after the capture of Xiaqiu? Yanzhou will not go."

Shang Yunxi accompanied Li He for a walk in the garden. He also knew that Li He also supported the recruitment of him, but Li He did not disclose the final conditions to him.

"What do you mean?" Li He also understood that it was not feasible to let Shang Yunxi go to Yanzhou. If it was really consumed, it would be a waste of money. How could such a thing be done?

"It depends on Mr. He's arrangement." Shang Yunxi said leisurely: "I dare not say that there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if I dare not say that they are compared with the main elites of Daliang, I can definitely fight. I just don't want to spend it on irrelevant wars in vain. If Daliang really doesn't have a place to stay, I can only talk to Huaiyou. I believe that Huaiyou can also give me the right conditions."

Li He had a long time in his heart. The reason for his thrust was to make Shang Yunxi understand the situation. Of course, he would never let Shang Yunxi fall into Huaiyou's arms, but he didn't care about Shang Yunxi's threat.

"Yunxi, Jiang Feng will never allow you to control his own army like you. Although you see that all the generals under him come from all sides, you are also very clear that all the troops must be unified under his control alone. It is just a prerequisite. Do you think you can do it? If you really can do it, you will have gone long ago."

Li He's uncovered words also made Shang Yunxi difficult to answer for a while. If this were not the case, why would he come to the Daliang?

"Mr. He, then let's open the skylight and say something. How do Daliang prepares to arrange for me?" Shang Yunxi stopped and looked directly at the other party with his eyes.

"Before I came, I discussed with the envoy of the court. If Yanzhou cannot gain a foothold, then what about Yunzhou?" Li He also stopped and said lightly.

"How can Yunzhou be run? Juyeze water bandits are rampant. Although I am not afraid of water bandits, I have to clean up these water bandits in the short term and it will be very expensive."

Shang Yunxi was a little anxious. How could a small Yunzhou support more than 10,000 people?

Especially the Juyeze water bandits are not simple. If you really want to clear them, you won’t think about it in two or three years. Thinking about the endless Juyeze reed marsh, Shang Yunxi felt his scalp numb.

Yunzhou is a big pit, and anyone who goes to must be buried there.

Zhu Mao has been entrenched in the three prefectures of Yan, Yun and Yi for so many years. He has never wiped out the Juyeze River bandits when he was at its most powerful time. At its best, he has only controlled Shouzhang, Xuchang, Sucheng, Juye and Yuncheng, which are close to the Juyeze River, and have never really controlled it.

In the short term, he relied on the army to seize the occupation, but he would soon be harassed by the water bandits so that he could not stay. The gain was not worth the loss, and he could only leave in shame. Shang Yunxi knew this situation very well.

Now the Juye Water Bandits are in great power. Even Leize County, a neighbor of Shuize, is occupied by Juye Water Bandits. The Daliang Army does not dare to recover it. They just think that if forced recovery is eventually trapped there, it will become a quagmire, so they simply ignore it for the time being.

"Is Yunxi afraid of the giant water bandits like tigers and abandoned them like worn shoes in Yunzhou?" Li He was a little displeased.

"Hong He is not afraid of it, but the gain is not worth the loss. If Daliang can provide enough support to someone, he is willing to recover the three northern counties of Yunzhou, but like Juye and Yuncheng, there is nothing he can do." Shang Yunxi pondered for a moment.

"What if Daliang handed over Jeju to Yunxi?" Li He sighed in his heart.

He didn't know whether this arrangement was appropriate, but the activities of the Jin army in Hedong were becoming more and more frequent and he reported it in detail. The Shatuo people were very disturbed this time. It is said that they had recruited a large number of cavalry from the Zahu tribes in the north, and they were coming in full force.

The situation in the three towns of Heshuo was also extremely bad. Cheng De Army and Wei Bo Army were constantly asking for help from Daliang, from food and cloth to weapons and armor to money, with a huge appetite, which made the Zhengshitang overwhelmed.

The situation is unprecedentedly dangerous, otherwise why do you have to come here in person?

"Jeju?!" Shang Yunxi was overjoyed after being surprised, but immediately became a little confused: "Donald He said he wanted to hand over Jeju to someone?"

Jeju is an important place in the northeast of Daliang. When Daliang seized Jeju from Zhu Mao, he spent a lot of effort and fought with Zhu Mao several times. This is also the most unsolvable knot between the Taining Army and Daliang.

Moreover, Jeju is bordered by Heshuo in the northwest and Pinglu in the northeast. The geographical location is very important. Is this abrupt handing over Jeju to yourself?

"Yes." Li He nodded.

"Will His Highness King Liang and the Political Affairs Hall agree?" Shang Yunxi was also a little unbelievable after being surprised.

"Jiju and Yunzhou are left to you, but you must quickly control the situation in Yunzhou." Li He paused, probably because he felt that there was no need to cover up. "The Juye Water Bandits' power is now expanding very quickly, and it has endangered the security in the south of Jeju. Once you go, you must immediately solve the problem of Juye Water Bandits' harassment of southern Jeju. You must bring back the three northern counties of Yunzhou. This is the bottom line!"

Shang Yunxi immediately understood, so that's it!

The situation in Jeju is not optimistic. No wonder he handed over the territory like Jeju, which was originally Daliang, to himself. He still had to work hard.

However, Shang Yunxi didn't think this was anything. If he didn't use it at all, why should Daliang recruit him? Of course, fearing that he would fall to Huaiyou is also the main reason.

If he had Jeju and Daliang could support money, food, weapons and armor, Shangyunxi would still be sure to fight the Juye Water Bandits back to Juye Ze.

This land is not a place where water bandits are rampant, and they cannot be tolerated. Jeju doesn't need to say that the three northern counties of Yunzhou are also a distance from Juyeze. Shang Yunxi does not think that these water bandits will have many opportunities when facing these men under his command.

"Honor He, since this is the case, I am still confident in dealing with these water bandits on land. But I have to say something ugly. When I go to Jeju, I have nothing to do with these guys. Daliang has to be helped. Needless to say, Yunzhou has been ruined by the water bandits. It is rare for Jeju to have many support. I also need the support of local gentry when I go to Jeju. If I donate it once, I am afraid it will tear my face and it will be detrimental to future management. Therefore, Daliang must at least allow more than 10,000 men to maintain their livelihood."

Li He also smiled bitterly. He also knew that if there was no supply, Shang Yunxi would not be able to play in Jeju. However, the Zhengshi Hall was in a hurry everywhere and it was not enough to use it at all. How could he help you Shang Yunxi?

The only way is to make an idea on Huaiyou, which is also the reason why Li He talked to Huaiyou here. If he could not squeeze out two taels of oil from Huaiyou, the battle would be a big loss, and it can be said that he had not even achieved any purpose.

"Yunxi, I know your difficulties, but you also need to understand the hardships of Daliang. Let's see what conditions can be discussed from Huaiyou." Li He sighed.

Jiang Feng had a gloomy face, and the peaceful atmosphere that had been almost peaceful during this period was immediately broken.

Not to mention the mistake of Nanyingzhou, the four armies led by Xu Ziqing and Zhang Yue also suffered huge losses, especially the five right armies were almost destroyed, which made the soldiers present angry.

After taking Xuzhou, everyone was extremely energetic and felt that Yan Yun would succeed in the next step. Unexpectedly, before we could negotiate with Daliang, there was a lot of bad news over there.

Nanyingzhou, a bridgehead that was inserted into Yingbo, was lost. The four armies were beaten to only 4,000 people, and most of the losses were lost. In the end, Nanyang, the jumping clown, actually jumped out and occupied Guangzhou. Is it tolerable?

Especially when Huaiyou has already taken Xuzhou, how can people bear this anger?

This is simply a slap in the face in person, and it is a slap in the face when Huaiyou is most proud!

At this moment, everyone even felt that Haizhou could be temporarily put on hold and recovered, but Guangzhou had to be brought back immediately and had to repay Nanyang, otherwise it would be impossible to explain to the elders of my hometown.

"Your Majesty, this wind cannot last! Nanyang must pay the price. After this, you can return to Guangzhou and let Nanyang understand what the consequences will be if the Tai Sui gets into trouble! Even if Liu and Liu Xuan come in person, we Huaiyou will teach them a lesson!"

Chai Yong was the first to speak. He was not a Guangshi. Logically speaking, there was no need to be so anxious, but he needed to express his attitude.

As a great hero in the Battle of Xuzhou, he knew very well that he was now envied by many people. In the Battle of Qi County, he had the first contribution to the city and was praised by the emperor. Even the glory of Yang Kan and Zhang Ting was suppressed by him, second only to Mei Kuang, Qin Han, who raided Fu Li, and Zhuang Yongsheng, who made great contributions to Xu Dagong, which has caused some discussions within the Huai You Army.

Especially the generals of the Daliang system, they did not get much chance to perform in this battle in Xuzhou, so they have been a little restless. Now that Guangzhou is taken away, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the Guangxu generals. They will not be able to win the recognition of the Daliang generals for a while. Then they need to make friends with the Guangxu generals such as Qin Zaidao, Xu Ziqing, Zhang Yue, and Huang Anjin, especially the people of Wuwentang and many officials in the government affairs system are also from Guangxu.
