Wang Jingwen is very depressed now, very depressed, and has the urge to hit the wall.
When Feng Zhang's uncle and nephew died in battle and Da Xiezhai was occupied by Li Guan, he always spoke with the word "calmness", but he tore the words he was writing to pieces, and even his beloved Yanbao and Qilin Jade Paperweight were thrown.
The last time Feng Zhang failed to attack Shamen Town, Song Wei and Wang Jingwu asked Cui Yunqing to mediate together, but he did not support Feng Zhang. Except for Feng Zhang who was so dizzy that he even made mistakes at the meeting, and sent many handles to Li Yan and Cui Yunqing and others, he had nothing to say. The biggest reason was that he wanted to take that opportunity to teach him a lesson and become more and more domineering and arrogant, and that Feng Zhang, who was out of the control of the Wang family.
This was originally a trick of trying to get, so that Feng Zhang would first get a little bit of pain, and then when he was helpless, he would take the sweet dates to comfort him, so that he could regain Feng Zhang's loyalty. He used this trick to get the title of the first military advisor of the Wang family. Otherwise, Wang Jingwu would not have let him travel thousands of miles to Dengzhou as the chief minister. The purpose was because the situation in Dengzhou was gradually out of the control of the Wang family.
After that meeting, Wang Jingwen deliberately refused to let go of Feng Zhang who was unwell but did not meet him for a visit. He wanted to let him go first and then talk about it. But who would have thought that this time, he lost his tricks, and completely took them off.
Feng Zhang didn't know if it was too painful for Li Yan to beat him, so he lost his face and even lost his reason. He actually thought that the Wang family wanted to take advantage of the situation and stretched out their feet to step on him. As a result, in panic, he ran to collude with Duli Town and attacked Li Yan again.
Originally, this could not be considered a stupid move, but it should be said that it was a counterattack. In fact, as long as Feng Zhang can defeat Shamen Town, seize Shamen Island, or kill Li Yan, this move is actually a trick to turn the tables. This is also the reason why he deliberately delayed Feng Zhang a lot of time after hearing the news. The main reason was to buy him some time so that he and Duli Town could kill Li Yan.
As long as Li Yan can be killed, even if Song Xi's reinforcements arrive, it is actually no longer important.
It’s a pity that nearly 30,000 coalition forces could not defeat Li Guan’s thousands of men. What surprised him even more was that Feng Zhang found Duli Town as a coalition force, and Li Guan actually found Qingnipu as an ally. It’s really amazing and hateful.
Now, Feng Zhang didn't count the lives of his uncle and nephew. He also cheated Duli Town. What's even more deadly is that the situation in Dengzhou immediately changed drastically, and the power of their Wang family in Dengzhou was completely in a counter-trend.
"Feng Zhang, this idiot, is not counting on his own death, but he has to pull us up. idiot!" Wang Jingwen cursed a few times, his beard trembling. After cursing, he could only sigh and accept his fate. Feng Zhang used to be extremely cunning when dealing with his own people. He suppressed Wang Jin's Dengzhou Navy and even had to embezzle a large amount of money from the income from Dengzhou Port every year to fill his own warehouse. But now a pair of Li Guan, who had not grown all the hair, was defeated one after another. In the end, he had not even been able to hold on for a year, and was defeated one after another.
This space is because Feng Zhang is incompetent when he is old. Is it easy for Li Guan to be too terrified?
After Wang Jingwen was angry and scolded, he had no choice but to send another set of paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and immediately wrote a letter to Wang Jingwu in Qingzhou, and asked him to send him to Qingzhou with a quick horse. The brothers of the family made a decision.
In Qingzhou, Wang Jingwu quickly received this letter. After reading it, this person actually undermined many Jieshangs. The Jieshangshang in Ziqing Town changed many, but he had always controlled the teeth of Qingzhou Yajun. He couldn't help but frowned.
Wang Jingwu was a general of Qingzhou, and Ya General was just a common name. In fact, his official position was the military commander of the Yanei Dushi Jiedu Prefecture of Pinglu Army in Ziqing Town. There were also military commanders in front of Yai, military commander of Yai, military commander of Yai, military commander of Yai, military commander of the front yard, military commander of the front yard, military commander of the back yard, military commander of the back yard, military commander of the Yai City, and military commander of the back yard. The president was the military commander of Yai City, which was Qingzhou. The Pinglu Army stationed in Qingzhou was also called Yai Army, and basically all belonged to him. Among the 37,500 soldiers in the Pinglu Army, the personal soldiers, Ya Army, Zhizhou soldiers, county and town soldiers, border soldiers, united soldiers, and among the six types of soldiers, he mastered the most elite Ya Army.
In the past, it was precisely because of this army that he became the real leader of Ziqing Town. The original military governors were unable to compete with him, but they were just a idle military governor who was under the scattered position. The former Yu Quan was determined to compete with him, but the Yu family was later demoted, and Yu Quan became Sima of Dengzhou. He survived the crisis safely. But who knew that when he went to the wolf, he came again, and Yu Quan, who had four military governors, had just left, but Song Wei came again.
Song Wei was born in the famous Song family in Guanzhong. Although the Song family was not as high as the top gentry like the five surnames and the seven high sects, they were also first-class high ranks. Song Wei served as a general in the imperial guards in his early years. In the ninth year of Xiantong, he led troops to participate in the quelling of the Pang Xun Rebellion, and made great contributions to the commander-in-chief of the north. In ten years, he entered the southwest to participate in the war against Nanzhao, and was transferred to the commander-in-chief of Zibo Qingjie this year. This was a veteran who had both family background, qualifications and prestige, and he became aggressive as soon as he came.
In particular, he also supported Zhang Wanrong, the military commander of the Military Supervisor, and received full support from the Cui family. Even the Qingzhou tribes like the Han family began to turn to them. They started from the periphery and bought and won over many generals of Zhizhou soldiers and county soldiers. Now there are 3,000 guards in Qingzhou, the three army commanders, and 5,000 soldiers in Dengzhou. In terms of the number of soldiers and horses, they are no less than his soldiers. The only difference is that the soldiers are not as good as those in the fangs.
But now Dengzhou has made consecutive mistakes. First, Dengzhou Port, where most of the money and food are from the Yajun Army, inserted into Song Wei's chess piece Li Guan. Now, this small chess piece not only defeated Feng Zhang, but also just shortly after the last mediation, Feng Zhang had even lost his life in his hands, and the entire Great Xie Fort was lost.
"The head of the family, Da Xie Fort has always controlled Dengzhou Port. Most of our gang's financial resources come from Dengzhou Port. Feng Zhang is dead and Da Xie Fort falls into Li Guan's hands. This will be troublesome in the future."
Wang Jingwu knew what the trouble was about this strategist. Although Wang Jingwu was a general, the nearly ten thousand soldiers were actually controlled by many military leaders. What he could really control was only the soldiers of the yamen, the front, the back, the front yard, and the back yard. These were not entirely controlled by him. Their relationship was actually an alliance's interest consortium, advancing and retreating together, and joining together to deal with the foreign commanders. He brought many Zhizhou soldiers, county and town soldiers, and border town soldiers, all of which were in such a relationship.
Every year, everyone has to share a lot of money and food from Wang Jingwu, which is why they are willing to follow him to advance and retreat. In addition to part of the money from Wang Wujing comes from the supply of the Wang family itself and many families who follow him, a large part of it comes from Dengzhou Port. This is not only because of the tax and customs fees of Dengzhou Port, but the most important thing is that they engage in smuggling these businesses. Only with the perfect cover of Da Xiezhai, can they have such a huge profit.
Now that this Da Xie Village has fallen into Li Guan's hands, not only will the taxes, fees and tariffs be lost directly from their share, but even if they do smuggling business, they are afraid that it will not be so easy to do. Without money, how can we maintain tens of thousands of soldiers and many private soldiers in the hands of everyone? Without money, those military generals will continue to follow him so much.
"It's better to send someone to assassinate Li Guan. This guy is a big trouble. I didn't notice him before, but I didn't expect that the small chess piece could also cross the huge waves. If he keeps going like this, our ship will be unstable." said the strategist Li Zhou.
"Inappropriate." Wang Jingwu was able to make a stable tooth and set his position on this position. He also missed several cemeteries, which fully demonstrated that this was not an ordinary warrior.
"I heard that Li Yan was originally just a martial artist, and his ancestors in his family were also my Pinglu Army's primary school. He moved to Dengzhou only because his ancestor died in the battle of the imperial court attacking Ziqing Town. His father was just a minor official, and later died in the Qiufu Rebellion in western Zhejiang. Both brothers were also dead one after another. Li Yan once studied. He got the status of a village tribute and wanted to be a Jinshi, but in the end he died unexpectedly because his brother died, so he did not re-elect the imperial examination. He joined the army and was appreciated by Cui Yunqing and Yu Jin because he killed bandits. He was smooth sailing and rose straight up. He was able to become the general in the short time."
Li Zhou sighed: "I didn't expect that the head of the family knew this kid so well."
"Only by knowing one's own knowledge of the enemy can we fight forever. If we don't even know this, how can we deal with the enemy?" Wang Jingwu sighed: "This kid is a good person. If I had met him first, maybe he would be a general under my command now. Unfortunately, it's a pity."
"Yes, it's a pity that such a character is actually our enemy." Li Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
"Then we will turn him from an enemy into a friend. Li Guan is just a young man. He must have his own desires. Beauty, money, or power? Seeing that he was so radical, he had fought with Feng Zhang several times, this kid knew at a glance that he was a person who was unwilling to be ordinary. Money and beauty were certainly difficult to win him over, but we can grant him power. Li Zhou, please write me a letter to Li Guan. As long as Li Guan is willing to be our friend and continue to maintain the money that Feng Zhang gave us in the past, I will not ask him to turn against his teacher. As long as he maintains a neutral attitude in the struggle between us and Song Wei and others, I will not only support him in controlling the Da Xie Village, but also be willing to protect him as the Da Xie Village military envoy. If he can fully support me in defeating Song Wei, then if I become the commander of Zibo, Li Guan is the new Yanei military envoy!"
Li Zhou hesitated: "I'm afraid that he may accept the favor with it very little."
"Try it, how can you know if it's okay if you don't try it? In addition, you might as well reveal the content of the letter "accidentally" so that Song Wei, Cui Yunqing and people from Dengzhou will also know."
"What does the head of the family mean to be a discord?" Li Zhou was stunned for a moment and immediately understood.
"That's right, even if the separation is not successful, at least it can arouse Li Guan's desire for fame and power. Maybe Song Wei may have distrust Li Guan from this. Try it, but we can't pin all our hopes on him. How are you prepared for the thing I asked you to prepare?"
"It's almost done."
