Puzhou Juancheng.

Shang Yunxi was in the flower hall to entertain Wang Miao, the Privy Councilor who inspected military affairs.

The people who were accompanied were Zhu Mi and Zhao Yu, the person in charge of Hebei strategy in Wuwentang.

Zhu Mi was the general sent by the Privy Council to assist Shang Yunxi in reorganizing the Daliang surrendered army, while Zhao Yu was the most capable general under Shang Yunxi. In the future, three people will be the core, plus the surrendered general of Chengde Army, and Henghai Town will be formed.

Of course, all this depends on whether the strategy in Heshuo will be smooth in the future.

Most of the surrendered and fugitive troops in Daliang were concentrated in Puzhou for reorganization. This is the most convenient place to accept war horses from Tuyuhun. It is also not far or near to Hebei. It can not only act as a Western Jin army to confuse Hebei, but also truly play a role in supplementing the Tianping Army.

"Two generals, how is the reorganization progressing here? Time is running out, we don't have much time." Wang Miao is used to going straight, and those who are familiar with him know that Shang Yunxi and Wang Miao are not familiar with him, but Zhu Mi is very familiar with Wang Miao.

After the Taining Army officially joined Xuzhou, Zhu Mao and Gao Jinzhong formed Tianping Town, but Zhu Mi, as Zhu Mao's cousin, did not make any arrangements for the time being. He was arranged to train in the military academy in the early stage, and later he fought for ordinary students as practical instructors. He stayed for almost a year. It was not until this time that Jiang Feng arranged for him to assist Shang Yunxi in gathering the surrendered army and fleeing army in Daliang, reorganizing and preparing for the Hebei strategy.

Although Jiang Feng believes that Shang Yunxi's resignation this time is unlikely to have any other intentions, from the perspective of checks and balances, the Privy Council does not allow a large army to be in the hands of one person.

The situation in Tianping Town is slightly special. Because they need to face the pressure from the Shatu people directly, Zhu Mao and Gao Jinzhong were allowed to partner to form Tianping Town. However, Zhu Mao and Gao Jinzhong both knew that once the situation eased, they could not be together. This is the most basic principle for the monarch to check and balance military generals in this era.

Of course, Zhu Mi did not come naked and drew an army from the Tianping Army to Puzhou. Then, based on the three armies of Shangyunxi and Zhu Mao, he sorted out and reorganized the tens of thousands of Daliang surrendered troops who arrived one after another. According to the requirements of the Privy Council, he should quickly reorganize them into twelve armies, with the ultimate goal being sixteen armies, including at least four cavalry troops.

The Hebei Plain is especially suitable for large-scale field battles of cavalry. The importance of cavalry in field battles is self-evident. To face the Khitans who are also dominant with cavalry, they not only need a powerful infantry, but also a cavalry that is not weaker than the other side.

However, the initial goal was to control the three prefectures of Dicangde, establish a solid frontier position in Hebei, and fight against the Khitans' southward advance. In this regard, the infantry still had to play a greater role, and in the later stage, cavalry would be indispensable if they wanted to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Khitans.

"The Privy Council, it's still smooth." Shang Yunxi did not dare to neglect the second-ranked person in the Privy Council. Among the Privy Council's Privy Council, Cui Shang was in charge of the strategy, Yang Kan and Mei Kuang were often sent to the supervisor. Wang Miao, Wang Shumi was mainly responsible for tactical and military affairs and was deeply trusted by the prince.

"The infantry army has completed the reorganization of nine armies, and the cavalry has completed the reorganization of two armies. It is expected that by the end of next month, the first phase of the goal can be completed. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, General Zhu and I agreed that it may take three months of training to meet the expectations."

Shang Yunxi's words were left a little bit, because he wanted to fight, so he didn't dare to boast casually.

"No, we don't have three months!" Wang Miao flatly refused, "At the end of next month, we must prepare for war. We can train together while reorganizing and training. We can be divided into two parts. If you think the reorganization has been completed and the results have been achieved, we can train first and then slow down. The situation in Hebei is changing rapidly, and the Khitans are in a raging manner. Liu Shouguang and the two ends of the rat are in trouble. I am worried that he can't stand it anymore."

Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi exchanged glances before saying, "There are probably only eight armies that can push to the front line, and twelve armies can reach three months."

"You can consider this for yourself. I just give you the intentions of the prince. I will set off for Qizhou in the middle of next month and prepare to cross the river on the Linji and Zouping line. We have done a lot of work in the north. Overall, the situation is good, but this is just an appearance. We must first get there before we know it." Wang Miao's attitude was very firm.

"After the order." Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi responded at the same time.

"I hope the two generals understand that the Shatu people may be brewing big moves in the near future, and they will probably start a war against Nanyang. We cannot predict the length of this battle, but this is our opportunity. At present, the Shatu people are still afraid of our Xuzhou and it still takes time to consolidate the situation in the Central Plains. Therefore, we must gain a foothold in Heshuo in a short period of time. We are not sure whether the Khitans and Shatu people will join forces, but we must make the worst plan. That is to say, maybe one day we will confront the Khitans in Hebei and fight the Shatu people in the Central Plains, and we must be mentally prepared to fight two wars at the same time."

Wang Miao also felt a little proud in his words, but Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi were shocked, fighting two wars at the same time? And they were fighting against the Shatuo people and the Khitan people!

This means that Xuzhou now has enough confidence to deal with the challenges of any vassal clan in China and can still win!

In other words, Xuzhou is not afraid of fighting with the Shatuo people. In Caozhou, facing the harassment of the Shatuo people, Shi Jingtang's troops, and tough responses are based on this.

Xuzhou is not afraid of fighting with the Shatuo people, but he just thinks that now is not the most suitable time. He is not afraid of really fighting!

"The two generals may also know that the Wuning Army and the Huaiyou Army are joining forces to capture the two states of Chu and Yang. Chuzhou has been recovered, the defenders have surrendered, and Yangzhou is about to be taken. At that time, the entire central and eastern Huainan Road will be basically in our hands." Wang Miao also knew that the weight of the two states of Chu and Yang was known that after being included in the rule of the Grand General Administration, the strength of our Xuzhou Grand General Administration will increase a lot. It can be said that in the future, whether we dominate the Central Plains or compete for Heshuo, we have the strongest food and financial foundation."

Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi were both excited and inexplicably, and Zhao Yu and Su Yi, who were in the lower head, were also very happy.

The two prefectures of Chu and Yang, especially Yangzhou, are the best places in Huainan Road. Ordinary three or five prefectures cannot match one Yangzhou. What's more, there is a Chuzhou, which is slightly worse than Yangzhou and Shouzhou and is comparable to Luzhou. It is also a state of fish and rice. Moreover, Chuzhou also has the benefits of sea salt. Although it is not as good as Haizhou, it should not be underestimated.

After capturing the two prefectures of Chu and Yang, most of the essence of the entire Huainan Road was included in the Xuzhou General Administration Office, which is of great significance to supporting the Xuzhou army in the struggle for the Central Plains and Heshuo.

"And there is also good news. Nanyang has sent envoys to Xuzhou to request a marriage with the prince, and the dowry is Guangzhou." Wang Miao also received a letter from Feige, and only then did he know that Liu Xuan was willing to marry his legitimate daughter to the prince as a fair wife in order to form an alliance. This is rare for Liu Xuan, who has always been arrogant and arrogant.

"Oh? But Liu Xuan's third legitimate daughter Liu Yu?" Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi both laughed. "I heard that the woman was extremely intelligent and intelligent. Liu Xuan loved her like a lord and obeyed her everything. Unexpectedly, she would marry the prince and take it back. Guangzhou was the only one left in Henan Province, Shenzhou, Anzhou, Mianzhou and Qihuang."

Huainan Road was originally fourteen prefectures, but Xuzhou was established in two counties from Guangzhou and Shouzhou. Now it is fifteen prefectures. In addition to the two prefectures of Chu and Yang, the Xuzhou General Administration has already obtained ten prefectures, which can be said to occupy the essence of Huainan Road.

"I'm afraid that Guangzhou alone can't do it? That's where the prince started his career, so how can he use it as a dowry?" Zhao Yu also smiled and interjected, "It's almost the same to hand over the two states of Shen'an to us."

"Haha, General Zhao, you have too much appetite. If you leave the two states of Shen'an to us, where can Liu Xuan survive? He can't just marry a daughter and don't want his own place to live, right?" Wang Miao also laughed.

"The two prefectures of Shen'an were not originally the ancestral lands of the Liu family, and they were not robbed by tricks?" Zhao Yu was not polite, "There is no master in the world, and those with virtue are the masters of heaven. Where can't they be controlled?"

"This is also reasonable, but Liu Xuan would not think so." Wang Miao nodded, "But now is not the time for us to break up with Nanyang. They are willing to hand over Guangzhou. We will also marry daughters to the prince as a fair wife. This is no problem, but in other words, I am afraid that if Nanyang wants to rely on more, he will be disappointed."

"The Shatuo people are going to attack Nanyang?" Shang Yunxi was very sensitive and immediately thought of this question. Otherwise, why would Nanyang be so impatient to return it to Guangzhou?

"It's almost the same. The second Liu is not stupid. You must see the changes in the situation. The Shatuo people want to turn Bianluo into their foundation. So Li Cunhou ordered the sword to be sealed and did not allow the army to loot. But how to appease the people below? We must choose a target. After all, there are only three families. The battles between Caizhou, Nanyang, Caozhou and Songzhou are all a test. It's fine. Caizhou, how can we compare to Nanyang's accumulated over a hundred years? Moreover, if you capture Nanyang, you can still look at Xiangyang. The Shatuo people want to catch them all in one go, so I guess Nanyang will not escape this disaster."

Wang Miao's explanation was reasonable, and both Shang Yunxi and Zhu Mi agreed. They immediately thought of their own side, "The prince intends to take over the three prefectures of Di, Cang and De in one fell swoop when Shatuo people fought with Nanyang?"
