Chapter 983 Lost on both sides!

Song Wensong withdrew his troops from Huainan Road again. This time the withdrawal of troops was a huge blow to the Shandong army! Because this time they invaded Huainan Road, they took huge risks! Because now both Huainan Road and Shandong follow Long Zhaohuan as the emperor! In this case, the two places should be allies.

However, in the face of huge interests, Song Wensong could not resist the temptation at all. He brazenly wanted to take over Huainan Road to expand his territory, which was undoubtedly the most direct challenge to His Majesty Long Zhaohuan's authority.

In addition to this, Song Wensong used almost all his elites to capture Huainan Road. Among these elites, including cavalry who are good at fighting. It is no exaggeration to say that if Song Wensong wanted to fight with Lu Zheng now, the strength he could have was like this. However, if such a force was still not captured by Huainan Road, it would be too damaging to morale.

Of course, there are objective reasons for not conquering Huainan. The main reason is that Li Xiu broke Binzhou in Shandong and then Dezhou. Once these two places were broken, the capital of Shandong Jeju was exposed to the range of Li Xiu's army. At the critical moment, Song Wensong did not dare to continue taking risks. The reason why he failed in recent years was that he himself summarized that it was too risky. How could a person who was too risky would not fail?

Moreover, once Song Wensong failed, he would suffer a catastrophe. Song Wensong struggled on the brink of life and death countless times. Even once, Song Wensong wanted to end his life with one sword, but in the end he survived tenaciously, not only survived, but also walked along his own path and walked to this day.

But since Yu was born, He Shengliang, since Song Wensong is already strong enough, there is still a stronger Lu Zheng. Because of Lu Zheng's existence, Song Wensong has almost no ability to grow and grow. Such pain is also unforgettable for Song Wensong!

So Song Wensong wanted to punish the Liaodong army. After he withdrew from Huainan Road, the army did not rest at all. He immediately attacked north. He wanted to capture Li Xiu alive. He wanted to lock Li Xiu in Shandong. He would never let this army return to Liaodong.

However, his speed was very fast, Li Xiu's speed was faster! After Li Xiu took over Dezhou, he did not have any love for the war and immediately withdrew his troops. The army came and went faster. The Liaodong army plundered in Shandong, disrupting the two states and plundering a lot of wealth. What left Song Wensong was a mess that was poisoned by the war.

After Song Wensong arrived in Dezhou, he only saw a mess, and his eyes were covered with scars. Under such scars, he could only sigh to the sky. He could not even bring out his defeated brothers, because this battle was not just a great defeat in Dezhou. Didn’t Song Wensong personally lead a large army to fight against Huainan Road and return home in a defeat?

"After this battle, I, Shandong, don't know how long it will take for me to come out again to compete for power!" Song Wensong murmured. At this point, he could no longer control his inner depression and disappointment. He immediately lost control of his emotions and even howled and cried.

You should know that since he sent troops to Shandong in the northwest, he has been developing the strategy of keeping his low profile that Di Qinghai has formulated for him for several years. Yes, keeping his low profile has indeed made Shandong stronger and Song Wensong stronger.

But the word "hiding one's strength and keeping one's low" sounds simple, and there is a huge price behind this! Song Wensong is a person with extremely strong personality. He always strives to be the first. Now, he has been holding back all his emotions in recent years and is hardworking. Even if he meets the worst opponent, he still has to pretend to be submissive. It's so difficult, it's really too difficult!

He had enough. He felt that Shandong was already strong enough. He didn't dare to look forward to the far away places, but he could always take Huainan Road down, right?

After taking Huainan, Shandong's strength would soar. More importantly, its territory was larger and its own granary was also available, and Shandong would no longer be dead.

What's more, Huainan and Jiangnan are only a river, and the wealth of Jiangnan is connected with Shandong. Song Wensong can recruit more soldiers, so he feels that he can still compete for the world.

But reality was like a cold wave, and it slapped Song Wensong to death! Song Wensong was so beautiful that reality was not that beautiful at all!

...

Li Xiu was making trouble in Shandong's Dragon King, making Shandong a big mess. After hearing the news in the two rivers, Lu Zheng was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Li Xiu, granting Li Xiu the title of Minister of War and the rank of general. Among the eight major vajras, Li Xiu became the number one vajra!

The war in Shandong came to an end, and Lu Zheng could finally recover and deal with the matter in Jiangnan! After Lu Zheng's army took Jingzhou, it did not go south. The army led by Tan Cheng was stationed near Wuling. Both sides used the river as the boundary and ruled the river. Both sides seemed to be at peace for a moment.

On the one hand, Lu Zheng accepted Long Zhaohuan's kindness and took the prince's identity, but on the other hand, he still did not relax the siege of Jingji! In fact, he could not let Jingji go south again, that would let the tiger go back to the mountain, but now he respects Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty, so he had to be cautious about the use of troops in Jingji. After all, the reason why Long Zhaohuan gave up this time was not only because of worrying that Lu Zheng and him wanted the army to attack Jiangnan, but there was another important reason, that is, Long Zhaohuan really didn't want his tens of thousands of troops to be ruined in Jingji. If that were the case, Long Zhaohuan's power in Jiangnan would be weak!

Winter goes and spring comes. Once a year, the two rivers are in the season when peach and plum blossoms bloom again. This season is very beautiful. At least the peach blossoms in the courtyards of Bianzhou are very bright.

The eldest princess of the Dakang Dynasty, Long Lingxiu, had already passed a winter in the two rivers, and this winter Lu Zheng was fighting with Shandong, which made Song Wensong feel relieved!

The Sun family of Huainan Road openly claimed that from then on Huainan and Shandong were mortal enemies, and the Sun family directly cut off all land passages from Jiangnan to Shandong. The business roads on which Shandong relies on for survival were also guarded by heavy troops, and no businessman could communicate with the north and south.

In this way, the food needed by Shandong must be transported by sea. More importantly, the merchants who have passed through Shandong from south to north over the years have to change their routes, and this road in Shandong is not accessible.

Lu Zheng achieved this goal through one winter, and in this case, of course he had to meet the eldest princess Long Lingxiu!

Long Lingxiu still seems to be so feminine. Although her residence is a guest house, it is also decorated quite gloomy, giving people a feeling of being so ghostly! What's even more ghostly is that Long Lingxiu has a box next to her. This box is polished very smoothly with raw paint technology. In fact, the box contains the ashes of Eunuch Hua.

The old eunuch has been with Long Lingxiu for many years. Long Lingxiu has been with her since she was a child. She has become accustomed to this person, so even if the old thing dies, she will keep it with her. However, her area gives people a more strange feeling...

"Lu Zheng, you live a very happy life in the Two Rivers! This place looks a bit like the style of Jiangnan. It seems that you still miss Jiangnan!" Long Ling said quietly.

Lu Zheng smiled softly and said, "Of course, I was born in Jiangnan and grew up in Jiangnan. The spring rain in Jiangnan is quiet, and the rain hits banana leaves. This is the most insightful scene in life. I have experienced it when I was a teenager. In the past few years, I have never been to Jiangnan again!"

Long Lingxiu giggled and said, "Has your army arrived in Wuling? Why didn't you create all the troops? You can attack Jiangnan in one fell swoop and occupy the Longxing land of Jinling from now on, can you Lu Zheng change the dynasty?"

"Your Highness, you can eat more food, so don't talk nonsense! My Jiangnan Lu family has been loyal and kind for generations. We are loyal to Your Majesty and have never had a second thought. How can we easily take Jinling?"

Lu Zheng said this with a serious and serious look. Long Lingxiu was really trying to vomit when she heard Lu Zheng say this. She sneered:

"Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, I used to think that although you are very disgusting, at least you are more sincere. I didn't expect that you have become so hypocritical now! Who can I listen to your words here in this palace? Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness Princess, don't be excited. You have come here from thousands of miles away from Jiangnan. Why don't you have other intentions and other intentions? Your Highness Princess can rest assured that you have fully achieved your goal this time. You have done everything your Majesty has assigned to you. This time, you will definitely return with honor!

When you go back to Jiangnan, I will withdraw my troops from Jingzhou. I only need the Lianghe area, Jiangnan is still his Majesty! Shandong is still from Song Wensong, Huainan Road is still from Sun's family..."

His Highness the princess stared at Lu Zheng, her lips tilted and she wanted to speak. She knew that with Lu Zheng's intelligence, he must know a lot of things! But for her, Long Lingxiu, there are some things that can only be done, but not said.

Some things you can’t ask, because you don’t understand the rules if you ask! How can you do it for people who don’t understand the rules?

"Lu Zheng, are you here to come to me for this? You just want to let me go back to Jiangnan? What do you want to make me grateful to you? Or do you hope to get what benefits through this?" Long Lingxiu sneered. Her words were obviously emotional, so her tone was sarcastic.

Lu Zheng was not angry either, but slowly approached Long Lingxiu and said, "Of course it's not just that. Lu Zheng has something in his heart that is really hard to decide. I hope your princess can teach me!

Your Highness, you have lived in Jingji for the longest time. Jingji is your territory. Now my army surrounds the Jiangnan army in Jingji! I am loyal, thinking that it is not easy for Your Majesty to raise soldiers, and thinking that the soldiers can go back to Jiangnan!

But I have concerns, that is, my territory, a major town in the capital, and the Jiangnan army will come whenever I want, and leave whenever I want. Once such a precedent is opened, what prestige can I say in the two rivers?"
