Seeing that more than a thousand war horses brought back by Zhao Yu were brought into the fence, Shang Yunxi couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known this, why would it have been the first one?"

Zhao Yu, who handed the war horses in his hand to his subordinates, also walked over a few steps and said with emotion: "The Privy Council is really generous. He gave us 1,500 war horses in one breath. Although the number is not large, the war horses in Xuzhou are not abundant now. I feel a little guilty for being so generous."

"Yes, who would have thought that Xuzhou would have such a state of mind in just one year? I still had poor eyesight and underestimated the prince, and then ended up in this field, which also dragged down all the children." Shang Yunxi shook his head and stroked the rough horse railing with his big hands.

There are all high-quality war horses in the horse railing. There are less than two cavalry troops under Shang Yunxi, which are about 3,500 cavalry. In terms of the number of war horses, it is relatively abundant in the past influencing army, but it is still insufficient.

After joining Xuzhou this time, he actually received a supplement of 1,500 war horses, which has to be said to be an unexpected surprise.

Of course, this was obtained from the military horse farm of the Daliang Army in Pucheng, but no matter what, it is quite rare that the Privy Council can add more than a thousand war horses to his army.

"Why did the general say this? We are all given by the general, how could we have any other intentions?" Zhao Yu quickly comforted: "Besides, it's not too late now. The prince is definitely not the leader of the guard. Although he did not agree to our march into Huazhou, it will definitely be of great use to us in the future."

"Don't say anything about the previous words in the future. We are now all subject to the princes. Everything is subject to the king's order." Shang Yunxi waved his hand and said thoughtfully: "The prince may still not want to get into evil with the Shatu people at this time. But if the Shatu people take Caozhou, can the Shatu people endure it?"

"Caozhou's status is probably not comparable to that of Huazhou. Huazhou is high and facing the river. If it is occupied by us, the Shatuo people will not be able to sleep even if they take Bianjing." Zhao Yu stroked the short beard under the jaw, "I was thinking that the Privy Council asked us to supplement the war horses may not be entirely due to trust and respect. I'm afraid there is a task to hand it over to us."

"Heshuo?" Shang Yunxi stroked the thick beard under his jaw, "It is the right thing to do. I am afraid that the prince will regard it as useless. That is the worst. Wei Bo's army is a hard bone. If the prince wants someone to cross Hebei to attack Wei Bo, it will be a tough battle. But I thought the Privy Council would take the prefectures in the eastern part of Chengde Town at that time."

"Haha, at that time, the envoy Wang Shumi was born in the Chengde family. The Wang family still has a deep influence in the Chengde states. If the prince wanted to take the Khitans as an enemy, the Chengde states must be taken in advance."

Zhao Yu was also a long-time general on the battlefield. He has followed Shang Yunxi for many years and has no shortage of overall situation. He also saw that Xuzhou is very vigilant towards the north, even surpassing the Shatuo people in the west, so he said this.

"Di, Cang, Dezhou?" Shang Yunxi pondered slightly, "It's fine if Dizhou and Dezhou are not easy to deal with. Cangzhou is not afraid of Zhang Chujin, but the Khitans and Lu Long and Liu Shouguang in the north."

"The relationship between Liu Shouguang and the Khitans has always been very delicate. The Khitans want to talk, but they look back and forth. Liu Shouguang wants to tear his face apart, but he is afraid of backfiring. This is a stalk to beat the wolf - both ends are afraid." Zhao Yu sneered, "But the Khitans are ambitious and have to talk sooner or later. This is not something that Liu Shouguang can stop by being tough or compromise. If he doesn't have the strength, he will be unable to blame others."

"Well said that if you don't have the strength, you can only be beaten passively." Shang Yunxi sighed, "This is the case with the influence of the army, and the Taining army is the same, but the prince can come step by step. Why?"

"It's hard to say. Some people say it's the destiny of heaven, some people say it's good luck, some people say it's the prince who wins the hearts of the people, and some people say it's the prince who can attract talents, maybe it's all." Zhao Yu was also very moved, "But I still can't figure out how the prince can keep defeating the strong from a corner of Wuzhou to Huainan. Well, magic is a reason, but it's because of this?"

Shang Yunxi remained silent.

The situation was pressing, and the Shatuo people conquered cities and territories in the Central Plains, which was unstoppable. The collapse of the Daliang Dynasty had become an irreversible situation. It was even rumored that someone inside Daliang invited the Xuzhou army to station in Bianjing, but was rejected, which shows how bad the situation was.

I depended on Daliang, but now it seems that my previous choice was wrong. Daliang is not a big tree that can be relied on, but Jiang Feng, who gave up, has become a shining strong man. Now he has to change this situation.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng was quite generous, and Shang Yunxi had to admire this. He did not send people to take over his troops as he imagined, but let him continue to lead the army, and even provided himself with food, weapons, and war horses. This made people feel like they wanted to accept it.

In fact, the situation of Yu Mingzhen, Lu Qiming, Wang Shouxin, Liu Yansi and Zhu Mao also proves that Jiang Feng's generosity and confidence are confident, and Shang Yunxi once again confirmed this in himself.

As for why Jiang Feng was able to jump up and become a powerful vassal in just a few years, Shang Yunxi could not explain the specific reason, but the facts were the best proof, so he had to admit it and accept it willingly.

"I don't think so much. Now the prince has become the only banner in the north that can compete with the Hu people. I am just curious about how the prince will deal with the relationship with the Shatuo people, as well as Nanyang and Caizhou." Shang Yunxi smiled and said, "It would be fine if the Shatuo people want to attack us. If the Shatuo people want to maintain peace with our Xuzhou, but they have to fight against Nanyang and Caizhou, or only Nanyang, what will our Xuzhou do?"

Zhao Yu also laughed, "General, this question is also very curious. When the prince left Huaiyou, Nanyang had a surprise attack and occupied Guangzhou. It was the prince's hometown. When the prince conquered Xuzhou, Caizhou sent troops to attack and attacked continuously. Now the situation is reversed. How would the prince treat Nanyang and Caizhou?"

Both of them laughed at each other, and they really thought this question was very exciting.

**********

"Prince, has the Jin army really entered the city?" Guo Tao's blue veins burst out on the back of his hand. He held the armrest of Hu's chair tightly, his face turned slightly red, and he looked at Jiang Feng asking word by word.

"This should be the news from the scouts. The evening before yesterday, the Liang army stationed in Bianjing City had opened the city gate and allowed the Jin army to enter the city." Jiang Feng sighed softly. The expected things were neither fast nor slow, but it was over like this anyway.

"What's the situation in Bianliang City now?" Guo Tao had wanted to leave Xuzhou and return to Chang'an, but he learned that the Jin army was victorious again in Zhongmu, and it was very likely that the troops would come to Bianliang City, so he stayed in Xuzhou, hoping to understand the trends of the Jin army as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, after the Battle of Zhongmu, less than twenty days later, the Jin army was really at the city and entered the city easily, so the Liang army did not even have a decent resistance.

"The situation in Bianliang City is not yet known, but it is said that Bianliang City has only imposed a curfew. It seems that the city gate has not been closed during the day, but it is probably not possible to leave Bianliang City with its family." Jiang Feng spread his hands, "But before the Jin army came to the city, a large number of people fled outside the city and fled towards Chenliu and Yongqiu, and some of them fled along Baigou to Caozhou."

"Did the Jin army sent troops to chase these fleeing people?" Guo Tao asked again, and from this point, the Shatuo people's thoughts could be seen.

"Never." Jiang Feng shook his head, which also made him a little confused. Logically speaking, the Shatu people were mainly cavalry. As long as they controlled the city of Bianliang, they could send cavalry to chase them along the official road and drive these people back to Bianliang. However, the Shatu people did not do this, but allowed these people to escape.

According to Chen Wei, Cui Shang, Wang Miao and others' judgment, it is estimated that the logistics supply of Shatuo people has reached its limit. The city of Bianliang had already experienced a great escape in the first two months. The real wealthy class of the upper class had almost escaped, and the rest were the people of the middle and lower class cities.

Perhaps the Shatu people also realized this and believed that ordinary people in these cities were of little value, and staying might also add pressure to food supply, so they took this countermeasure.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Shatu people have different attitudes towards this, so they have not taken any measures.

"Did the Liang army be wiped out or surrendered to the Jin army?" Guo Tao was still unwilling to accept this reality.

When Daliang was strong, the Guanzhong court feared it like a tiger, like a thorn on its back, wishing to join forces with all the vassals to attack. However, when Daliang was really destroyed, the court discovered that the entire Hu people in the northern region were in great strength, and no one could even check or balance them, which made them very scared.

Fortunately, there was a sudden emergence of Jiang Feng, but the Xuzhou controlled by Jiang Feng was too far away, which made the Guanzhong court feel a bit like a long distance and cannot quench the thirst.

Nanyang, which is close to Guanzhong, has an ambiguous attitude, and seems to have some tacit understanding with the Jin army before, so it is difficult for people to feel at ease.

"That's not. There are at least tens of thousands of defeated troops retreating from Zhongmu. They are now missing. According to the news of the scouts' return, many people went south to surrender to the Yuan clan of Caizhou, and some surrendered to the southwest to the Liu clan of Nanyang. Of course, some have already gone to Caozhou and Songcheng. There were tens of thousands of troops in Bianliang City, but the morale has been dispersed and the battle has been lost. They can't continue. They scattered and some have also arrived in Caozhou and Puzhou."
