Shangqi is the city of Longshang, and now it has become the base camp of the Fenwu Army.

Suddenly, it had been more than two months since the royal army entered Long. During these two months, undercurrents and other places in Longshang and Hexi were also surging, and small-scale military conflicts continued to break out.

The most eye-catching thing among them is the movements of the two forces, the King of the Western Expedition and the Liangzhou Army. In fact, on the whole, the Jin people did not have an absolute advantage in Longshang. The number of people from various Hu tribes such as Di, Qiang, Hexi Xianbei, etc. far exceeded that of the Jin people, and this reality has not changed due to the arrival of the two armies.

However, although there are many Hu tribes, they have many conflicts with each other, and the power of a single side is far inferior to these two armies. Moreover, the Tugehuyan clan and Nan'an Qianglei clan had previously linked up some of the Hu tribes, but then they either had internal strife or were severely attacked, which also caused the connection between these Hu tribes to fall into chaos, and there was no possibility of linking up again in the short term.

Therefore, the current situation in Longshang is very obvious, mainly depends on the open or secret competition between the King of the Western Expedition and the Zhang family in Liangzhou.

Among them, there is no doubt that the performance of the King's Army in the Western Expedition is even more amazing. In fact, with the past years of turmoil, the residual influence of the Jin Dynasty's great righteousness in Longshang has been very small, and it can be said that it has fallen into the dust. However, the King's Army has gone from Lueyangchuan to Sanyangchuan, defeating the thief army with fewer and defeating the thief army. The reputation of the Chinese army has been established again.

To put it in a sentence, after the King's Army of the Western Expedition went to Long, the scene of these Hu tribes' memories that had been old and dusty in their memory was shocked by the powerful army of the Xia people again became vivid. Perhaps some Hu tribes were still rebellious and disagreed with this, but after seeing the fate of Tu Ge Ge's Wang Zhuo with their own eyes, they did not dare to take the lead in attacking the King's Army.

After all, there was a Liangzhou elite army before them, and the Liangzhou army entered Long much earlier than the Wangshi army, and had already established a great reputation before. Now the Wangshi army is carrying the righteousness on their shoulders and then coming to Longshang again. No matter whether their army is irresistible or violent, the greatest loss is Liangzhou.

The Hu people are also cunning. Before these two powerful people compete, even if they have the idea of ​​dominating Longshang, they will not choose to start at this moment.

Therefore, the Longshang was also silenced, just watching the performances of these two sides. Therefore, the king's regaining Shangji was calm and he had no resistance at all. Even the powerful Jin people from all over the Longshang who rushed over to welcome him enthusiastically.

However, the Liangzhou Army, another powerful man whom Hu was looking forward to, had almost no commendable actions in the past period of time. Originally, the Liangzhou Army was closer to the Tianshui County Government, which could almost be said to be within reach. However, the Liangzhou Army was so attracted but did not launch it, and sat in the royal army to settle in Shangji, which inevitably disappointed the Hu people.

Of course, it cannot be said that the Liangzhou army has no practical action at all, especially after the winter months, the Liangzhou army began to frequently dispatch, sweep away the many waiting and watching Hu troops around Tianshui, and seized their population and livestock. At the most fierce time, it was even more than a dozen surrounding villages.

This made the Hu people who were watching a little puzzled. Liangzhou Army is a typical bullying of the weak and afraid of the strong. You should know that the people who are fighting for the hegemony of Longshang are the Jin army that has already settled in Shangji. If they don’t attack the Jin army, why are they fighting around those who are watching the fun?

However, the attacks suffered by the Hu people were not only from the Liangzhou army. No matter how strong the Liangzhou army was, they were just outsiders. The ones who really hurt them the most were the Jin Haozong in Longshang. Although the relationship between these Jin Haozong and the local Hu tribe was not very good, they were still living together on this land. Even if there were disputes, there were few life and death fights.

But now these Jin people became extremely irritable, and the villages all attacked and killed each Hu troops. Their actual strength may not be as good as the Liangzhou army, but because they advocated the advantage of fighting, the blow to the Hu troops was much worse. The Liangzhou army attacked and could not win, but when the Jin people launched the powerful forces, they would really pursue the death. Anyone who was dispatched must first exterminate the clan to prevent the rekindled and the comeback.

Although similar battles are not large in scale, they occur so frequently that in more than a month in deep winter, the Huzhi was empty in Tianshui alone!

"Because of internal worries in Liangfu, Zhang Guan did not dare to kill our army directly, and he was afraid that the Long soldiers would be cruel to force the Long soldiers to support our army even more, so he killed the Hu Hu in order to establish his authority. For Long soldiers, if the Liang area is near the Liang area, once they live in Longban, they will definitely suppress Long soldiers. And our king's army can fight from afar. If we want to establish Long territory firmly, we must rely on the strength of the local soldiers."

In the past period of time, even Shen Yun was a little confused about the turmoil in the Tianshui area, but there were many counselors around him, and Du Mi and others were even more aware of the personalities of this place. In addition, there were many tribe members of the Du family who took office as the prefecture of Liangzhou, and they also reported the details of many of the disputes within Liangzhou during this period, so many of the reasons can be analyzed clearly.

"What's more, the general's power is coming to China, and his rules and regulations are grand, and his righteousness is in a way that cannot be divided into the governance of Liangzhou."

On the surface, if the Wang Shike Army was on an expedition, if Zhang really broke up and fought for the dominance of Longshang, it would have a home advantage. But the fatal flaw of Liangzhou is that it does not have the righteousness of the Taiwan Strait. The word "天天" is often a false statement, but as long as you have a sufficient foundation of strength and place it in a specific scene, it can play an unimaginable role.

The reason why Zhang's family is based in Liangtu is that its important support is the support of the local tribes in Liangzhou. This is the reason for its strength and also the constraint that restricts its continued strength.

This is a bit similar to the situation in Jiangdong in the early years. One of the important reasons for Emperor Yuan’s revival was that he received support from the wealthy families of the Wu people, but the Wu people were later suppressed by the overseas Chinese. The Shen family of Wuxing rose against the trend and killed the overseas Chinese family represented by the Wang family of Langya.

The local tyrants in Liangdi supported Zhang, in the final analysis, to protect their own interests. With such a premise, they are more inclined to maintain the status quo and not to join more competitors. Once the two sides show signs of integration, the interests of Liangshi and Longshi will inevitably conflict.

Although Zhang was the head of Liangzhou Prefecture, he did not have the blessing of righteousness. In other words, whether it was power or interests, Zhang did not have much attraction to Longshi.

In fact, during this period of time, Shen Yun could not help but rush out to kill Shangji and continue to establish his authority, but was stopped by Du Mi and others. On the one hand, the soldiers really needed to rest when they were fighting in the expedition. On the other hand, the strength shown by the King's army was enough to gain the respect and awe of Longshi. Once they showed too strong offensiveness, they would be too much.

The power of the Longshi itself is not enough to suppress the Hu Hu in the realm. If the King's Army did not go to Long, although the Zhang family was not a good choice, they could only make do with it. But now the King's Army is here, and it is enough for them to provide the Longshi with a name that can integrate the power of the countryside, so that they will no longer be a mess of sand. This is enough for them.

Now that Zhang Guan killed Hu Liwei, the same is true for Longshi. They also need to demonstrate their own strength and make Zhang feel afraid and don’t expect to interfere with too many Longshi matters. In this process, the existence of the Wang Shi is an arbiter and does not need to end up in person, unless Xingtai has a complete set of strategies to completely incorporate Longshang into the territory, just like Zhongzhou, Guanzhong and other places.

It is obvious that there is no such thing as Xingtai now, including the dispatch of troops to Longshang this time. In fact, it is only Xuanwei and the crowd to prevent a powerful force from appearing in Longshang to endanger Guanzhong's operations. In the future, Longshang will still rely on the autonomy of Long people for a long time, so under such a premise, the royal army should not overestimate the main.

"The general just needs to wait, I guess the cold commander is already on the way."

Hearing the analysis of Du Mi and others, Chen Yun was still puzzled, but he also remembered that the task assigned by his brother before going to war was to praise Wu Longshang and send Liangzhou, so he no longer insisted on seeking war. Moreover, he knew that the Fenwu Army he led was an elite army in Xingtai and could not be used for a long time. Once the situation in Shaanxi was pacified, he would return to Xingtai and continue to fight northward.

If the goal was achieved without having to be used by the soldiers, he was happy that the soldiers under his command could take a short rest in the Long River.

Before the New Year, the Liang Envoy finally arrived in Shangqi. The team of more than ten people was quite large and the personnel composition was very complicated. There were Zhang Lang, a relative of the Zhang family, Suo Zhen, a representative of the Liangshi, and some Zhongzhou figures who fled to Hexi for refuge.

After the crowd arrived in Shangji, their faces were not very good-looking. Originally, in their information, there were only 2,000 royal troops along the way, but now there are more than ten miles of camps inside and outside Shangji City, which are huge in scale. Moreover, there are many cattle, sheep and livestock in the camp, and even the grains that can be called rare goods in Long are as large as tens of thousands of stones, stacked high in the camp.

"This is a demonstration on me!"

Seeing that the camp was arranged in this way, and thinking about the fact that they had been in Zhang Guan's camp before, many people sighed. The royal army used such sufficient goods and supplies, which was obvious differences compared with the Liangzhou army.

But these people thought that the Wangshi had been wrong. The Fenwu Army was a full-time elite army in the Taiwan battle. Anyone who was dispatched would have a large number of auxiliary teams around. The general Chen Yun, also was not good at scheduling and sub-storage. If the donation was made by each party, he could only pile it up in a mess, which was not deliberately demonstrated.

If there is any intention of demonstration, it should be that the Longshi deliberately created this difference to show that they have been closely united around the royal army and have not hesitated to destroy their families and donate their money to strengthen the military, indicating that the Liangzhou army will come from and go back to where they will go and not stay in Long for a long time.

At this point, Chen Yun was advised by the advisers and some Long soldiers who had already defected to him not to come forward to meet him, but Du Mi and the generals of the Long soldiers came forward to welcome the Liang soldiers.

After meeting each other, Du Mi made small greetings, without saying anything, but after a moment, there were tears: "In the battle of Wulian City, Chen Hou fought bravely to kill the enemy and led the way. After the battle, he took out arrows and fought several times. He is still in bed and raised deep in his bed. He cannot meet you today. It is really not intentional neglect."

This kind of behavior is actually more convincing when the person involved comes forward, but Du Mi and others are really not confident about Chen Yun's appearance, so they simply blocked him in the camp and went to have fun. After hearing this, the people in Liangzhou looked very good. They all understood why the battle in Wulian City started.

Du Mi hurriedly stood up and was about to leave after sitting for a while. When she stood up, her eyes turned red: "It is difficult to get rid of the serious injury of the Lord, and we followers are really frightened and difficult to determine. The general loves the Lord. As the saying goes, if you raise a young lion in this family, you can be called the country to do your best. After a little training, you can indulge in Hebei to hunt Jie Chou Shi Ni. Unexpectedly, this time, the trip to Longshang had already had the intention of Liangzhou's loyalty and righteous support, but it was a praising merit. But he did not want the tyrants to be vicious. The Lord did not regard his life as a thought, but fortunately he did not humiliate the prestige of the country, but...ah,"

"The thief cheated on me!"

After Du Mi and others retreated, Zhang Lang of Zhang in the tent could no longer help but beat and scold him. He looked at Du Mi's expression in panic. He dared to bet his life. This Chen Yun would definitely not be in danger of his life. Otherwise, the morale of the army would not be so stable, and he could still stay in Shangji for so long to wait for their Liangzhou to integrate and express his opinion.

Moreover, the powerful men in Longshan looked fearless. If the real king's army showed signs of circling, they would be the one who panicked first. This behavior was clearly to take advantage of the problem to threaten more.

Liangzhou still has many advantages in Longshang. It is only because of internal discord that he has to bow to Xingtai. Zhang Lang was resentful in his heart. After seeing the other party so insincere, his mood became even worse. He even shouted that he would give up the peace and return to the state to prepare for victory!

But how could Zhang Langzi allow such a complex component to be allowed to do so? The reason why they made a move was that they had reached a consensus and now they changed their attitude. Not to mention how the Wang Shi reacted here, Liangzhou alone could not calm down all the grievances.

Especially Zhang Guan's performance in the past period has been labeled as embarrassing. If he is really instructed to force him to act toughly, it is very likely that the situation will turn out to be out of control again.

Therefore, the most practical way is to continue to communicate, first test the bottom line of the king's master, and then consider it later.m.
