Chapter 995 There are no forever friends!
In Bianzhou, Lu Zheng held a grand funeral for Li Xiu. The entire Bianzhou city was filled with white banners and white flags. Lu Zheng asked his children to wear mourning. The people lined up in dozens of miles to worship around the tomb of Li Xiu's tomb.
Li Xiu started from the lowest-level general under Lu Zheng and rose all the way. By the time he was dying, he had become a second-rank general! It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire army, Li Xiu was the only position in Liu Song.
Such a great general with outstanding meritorious deceased died in Shandong and was killed and chopped by Song Wensong. This hatred is simply unforgivable to everyone in Lianghe. The children of Liaodong and Lianghe joined the army one after another. Everyone has one goal, that is, to attack Shandong and avenge General Li Xiu.
Lu Zheng's mood has also been very depressed recently. He repeatedly pondered the cause and effect of Li Xiu's battle. He felt that Li Xiu's death was really unforgivable. Because looking at everyone in the Two Rivers, the person who knows Song Wensong the best is Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng should be able to judge that Song Wensong will not sit still and wait for death. This kid is a person who will never give in.
The biggest feature of Song Wensong is that the more difficult the situation is, the more he can burst out with huge and incredible energy! Therefore, when he is proud of Song Wensong, he must take action when he is proud. After Li Xiu died in battle, Xiao Ran suddenly attacked Shandong and achieved results, which just confirms this.
Just imagine before Li Xiu went to Shandong, the two rivers had sufficient soldiers and food, Lu Zheng had more than 100,000 Liaodong cavalry, and other infantrymen had almost nearly 200,000 troops.
Looking at Shandong, the potential has basically been drained by Song Wensong, and Shandong has failed to deal with Huainan Road several times. In this case, if time goes by, Shandong will definitely have no way out.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shandong is really in a desperate situation. How can we turn over in a desperate situation? Lu Zheng thought about it now and he understood that Song Wensong must be thinking about this issue every day, and he must have paid a huge price on this issue.
As for the layout of Shandong's battle, Song Wensong took every step, cautious and precise design, and he had thought of all possibilities. The most amazing thing was that he attacked Huainan Road three times. In this case, no one could easily think that Song Wensong's attack on Huainan Road three times was pretending to attack, a feint.
The net woven by Song Wensong has received a miraculous effect. What about looking at the other side of the river? The war against Shandong was just a hasty meeting. Lu Zheng, including Lu Zheng, did not take Shandong seriously. Even Li Xiu's soldiers had already reached Jeju, and Lu Zheng still felt that Li Xiu was safe.
Lu Zheng is like this, let alone other military generals and strategists? This battle has profound lessons, this battle is unforgettable, and this battle is Lu Zheng feels that he and his generals and strategists can remember it for the rest of his life.
"Prince, the matter has passed, you should also go through as soon as possible! General Li Xiu's spirit in the sky will definitely protect our two rivers, and will definitely let us unify the four directions, so that the people of the world will be completely peaceful, and there will be no war ever again!" The boy couldn't bear it and couldn't help but advise Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "I know, I will not sink because of this matter! I want to let the whole army through this matter, so that all civil and military officials can remember Song Wensong from Shandong, and remember the power and ruthlessness of this person!
Song Wensong, Song Wensong, you are really capable! You don’t say anything anymore. Just by your means this time, I, Lu Zheng, will recognize you as your opponent and your enemy!"
The boy said: "After Song Wensong was defeated, he only rested in Jeju for two days, and then immediately sent troops. In just three days, he captured Huainan Road. The Sun Family Ancestral Hall was destroyed. All the other things in the Sun Family, except for his youngest son who defected to his Sun Family, were killed!
Song Wensong was moving very quickly, Huainan Road had become the territory of Shandong..."
When Lu Zheng heard that Huainan Road had returned to Song Wensong, his heart ached again. He thought of Li Xiu again and said, "When Li Xiu was dying, he still remembered not to let Song Wensong take advantage. He ordered his subordinates to kill horses. After this battle, Song Wensong had to have a few thousand war horses. Otherwise, Song Wensong won tens of thousands of war horses in one battle, which would be even more a headache for our two rivers!
Now Huainan Road has returned to Song Wensong, and we have no good fighter opportunities for the time being..."
"Mr. Sun means that even if we don't fight, we must always maintain high pressure. Mr. Sun suggests that Xiao Ran be the general of Liaodong, lead the army to guard, and pose for the stance of attacking Shandong at all times!
Kuangzi was on the east defense line and threatened to take Huainan Road at all times. Such constant harassment from north to south made Song Wensong unhappy and did not dare to relax at all. On this basis, we wait for the fighter plane and then find an opportunity to fight!"
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Mr. Sun is a talented man, his strategies are all clever tricks. I will tell you to order me and do it immediately!"
Lu Zheng stood up, he raised his arm and shook it hard, stretched out his muscles and bones, and said:
"Is there any news recently in Jiangnan? Is there any news?"
The boy frowned and said, "The recent things in Jiangnan are strange. When Long Lingxiu just returned to Jiangnan, Jiangnan was still in a fierce situation. It seems that many people and things in Jiangnan were mixed up so nervous.
Now that so long has passed, Long Lingxiu has been living in seclusion and has no movement at all! Long Zhaohuan seems to have not focused on Long Lingxiu's side, and the brother and sister seem to have reached a tacit understanding of reconciliation.
In this case, the news we get is basically of no value, because no matter how powerful our scouts and informants are, what will happen... that... we can't understand people's hearts, we can't get into their stomachs, right?"
The boy paused and said, "Based on this situation, I have a preliminary judgment on the situation in Jiangnan. I think Long Lingxiu should not take action for the time being, or because the two brothers and sisters are uneven, Long Zhaohuan has an absolute advantage.
The most important point is that Jiangnan has weak strength. Now that Shandong has swallowed Huainan Road, our two rivers can threaten the canal at any time. Through the canal, we can go downstream and directly rush to Jiangnan. It should be said that in this case, they may have internal strife..."
Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "You can't say that you die. Others may be right in this way, but you must not use conventional methods to judge Long Lingxiu!
This woman, Long Lingxiu, is just a lunatic. There is nothing in this world that she dares not do, do you know?
Jiangnan is very quiet now, which may not be a good sign. Jiangnan’s affairs are complicated... Long Lingxiu’s quietness may be because she has mastered something, or she is preparing something in a hurry, just waiting for the time to ripe, and things can be done for..."
"Boy, you have to increase your efforts and use the best efforts to inquire about all the movements of Long Lingxiu. You have to observe who is entering and leaving the Princess' Mansion, especially those unknown people. These people may have their origins behind them..."
"Yes, Prince, I will first adjust some of the powers of Shandong to Jiangnan. In the next period of time, Jiangnan may be our focus!"
Lu Zheng smiled and said with great appreciation: "You are smart and know that Shandong is not the point, but is there any basis for your words?"
The boy said: "The prince will not attack Shandong immediately, because the two rivers encountered setbacks due to the Shandong battle, and it can even be said to have suffered a great humiliation. However, Shandong may be more expensive, and Song Wensong should have a harder life now. In this case, the prince will not fight is the greatest deterrent to Shandong, one of them!
Secondly, Song Wensong rested and kept a low profile for several years. Today, he made a big splash and became famous all over the world. The prince also realized the essence and thought about hiding his strength. Otherwise, our two rivers would be too strong, which would be unfavorable to the current balanced situation! Prince, don’t you?"
Lu Zheng finally laughed. This was the first time Li Xiu laughed after he died. In fact, all the time these days, Lu Zheng was thinking about how to solve the problem of Shandong and Jiangnan.
Judging from the current situation, if Lu Zheng blindly attacks Shandong and fights with Lu Zheng, under an absolutely harsh environment, Song Wensong will show a sharp rebound on the one hand, while Song Wensong and Jiangnan will inevitably form an alliance.
Lu Zheng was very clear about the situation in the Three Kingdoms era. At that time, the Wei Kingdom was obviously powerful in the Three Kingdoms era, but why did it take so many years to unify the Three Kingdoms? The reason is that the three families are in a delicate balance, and the triangle is also the most balanced state!
Lu Zheng is the strongest now, and can deal with Shandong or Jiangnan. However, if Shandong and Jiangnan are connected together, Jiangnan will be rich, and the territory of Shandong, Huainan Road and even Lingnan Road will be no weaker than Lu Zheng.
If Lu Zheng really wants to make all enemies, he may not have an absolute chance of winning. More importantly, such a battle will cause huge harm to the people, the suffering of war, the people will live in vain, and even starve for thousands of miles. This is a huge man-made disaster.
Lu Zheng is not a Taoist priest, nor a good person or a kind person, but he really wants to avoid excessive consumption, so that the country will not be able to recover your vitality for many years.
You should know that Dakang is weak now, and there are still strong enemies in the north, and even the Dongyi people and the Goryeo people are ambitious and must be guarded!
After careful reflection, Lu Zheng felt that if he really put all the effort into force, he might not have an absolute chance of winning, so he decided to do it slowly.
Sometimes the more urgent the matter is, the more urgent the situation may be. The situation in Shandong is temporarily alleviated, and Lu Zheng quietly shifted his goal to Jiangnan...
...
Jiangnan, the sun finally came out. You must know that this wave of rain has been falling for another half a month!
The south of the Yangtze River is redundant and rainy. Although it has the charm of rain hitting banana leaves, it is more of endless moisture and bed sheets that cannot be dried. The waiting days are not good, and the rainy weather makes people feel even more uncomfortable.
After Long Lingxiu came back from the north, she stayed in the Princess's Mansion without leaving her home. Although the Princess's Mansion was very large, there were everything inside, but for Long Lingxiu, who yearned for freedom and was free and unrestrained, such days were indeed very painful.
However, Long Lingxiu is no longer the Long Lingxiu when she was young. Many people in this world say that she is a lunatic, maybe she is really a lunatic. But after too many ups and downs, she also felt calm in her heart.
Although madman is terrible, everyone knows the ability of madman. As long as you avoid the madman's madness, everything will become easy to deal with. However, others are different from fear of a powerful scheming who is tolerant and calm. Now Long Lingxiu has grown to this level.
Long Zhaohuan is not a fool, he has also come step by step. You must know that Long Zhaohuan is also in his fifties now, and he has experienced too much. Is it worth mentioning to be aware of Long Lingxiu? That is definitely the highest defense!
Long Lingxiu is a very powerful woman, and Long Zhaohuan is very clear about this. Because he is clear, he will never let himself relax at all!
"Your Highness, the more anxious you are, the more urgent things you are. Now, Shandong Song Wensong has fought with Lu Zheng from the Lianghe River. Song Wensong has taken the limelight in this battle. In fact, both sides have consumed and lost a lot!
Judging from the current situation, Shandong is still dangerous! The threat from Jiangnan may be even greater. After all, Song Wensong destroyed the Sun family, and the Sun family is making trouble in front of His Majesty and asking His Majesty to preside over the Sun family!" Dong Yong said to Long Lingxiu.
Long Lingxiu snorted coldly and said, "Where is justice in this world? There is no so-called justice at all! The Sun family is destroyed and there is nothing left, they just deserve to die!"
Dong Yong said: "Although that's the case, Dakang still needs to have rules and the court still needs to be decent! Your Majesty has been very worried about this matter. The key is that the most important thing for Jiangnan now is to reach a fundamental consensus with Song Wensong as soon as possible!
Shandong and Jiangnan can no longer be a harmonious coexist on the surface. Both sides must form a close alliance to deal with Lu Zheng in the two rivers together, so as to form a situation of confrontation between the north and the south.
I think this time should be your chance for Your Highness Princess. You have already received good reviews from going to the two rivers to win over Lu Zheng. If you can go to Shandong this time and form an alliance with Song Wensong, this is a great opportunity!"
Long Lingxiu suddenly opened her eyes wide. As a woman with a keen sense of smell, she instantly realized that Dong Yong's words had grasped the key point, and indeed had the point!
Yes, the current overall situation is that Jiangnan wants to cooperate with Shandong, but for Long Zhaohuan, there is another difficulty. On the one hand, Shandong does not listen to the court's greetings, destroys the Sun family, and destroys Long Zhaohuan's prestige. In this case, how should Long Zhaohuan communicate with Shandong?
As His Majesty, he can't be too proactive. Not only can he not be proactive, but he also needs to have a reserved attitude. Otherwise, where is the decent?
No matter what, Jiangnan is now in danger and Shandong is also in danger. Under this overall situation, how Song Wensong, the wild horse, should be positioned, also gave Long Zhaohuan a headache.
