After Huang Chao invaded Sizhou last time, Li Jing sent troops to Yuzhou Island to garrison Qushan and Shuyang in Haizhou of Taining Army, as well as Xia Pi in Sizhou, which was the influence of the army. At that time, Li Jing sent troops to three cities, whether it was the Taining Army, the Shi Pu who was the influence of the army, or even the imperial court's Dukes and Emperors, not only did they not get angry, but instead breathed a sigh of excitement. It was because Huang Chao had defeated Gao Pian at that time, and Gao Pian led his troops to retreat to Yangzhou and sat down to watch Huang Chao head north.

Li Jing sent troops at that time, showing his loyalty to the court.

But not long after, when Li Jing's troops were dispatched again, directly garrisoning the towns of Tianping Army and Taining Army. After taking over these two towns, the troops took over Sizhou, which was the influence of the army, the reactions of all parties were completely different from before.

The emperor of Chang'an was too busy to take care of himself and had no time to pay attention to the matters east.

However, Shi Pu, the governor of the Jiedushi Army in Xuzhou City, looked a little ugly. Li Jing suddenly swallowed Tianping Town and Taining Town under the banner of counterattacking Luoyang. It was personal that Li Jing took the opportunity to expand his territory. After eating, he would definitely not vomit it out again.

Previously, after Huang Chao killed Shangluoyang, Pu also sent people to Xiapi City, hoping to regain control of Xiapi City. As a result, the dignified envoy of the governor of the Insurgency Army sent by him was directly bombarded by the Qin generals in the city.

Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, but he borrowed it but did not return it.

Originally, Pu thought that he could not afford to offend him, so he endured it. He would temporarily lend it to the King of Qin when he wanted to.

But now, Li Jing is getting more and more aggressive.

In a blink of an eye, Zeng Yuanyu didn't even call anyone to call him. He took over the other five counties in Sizhou. His troops in Sizhou were swallowed by Li Jing in one mouthful, and he didn't even have a blister.

The envoy he had just sent back came back and brought Zeng Yuanyu's reply that the Qin army was stationed in Sizhou to counterattack the thieves, and Sizhou was used as the advance base for Ge Congzhou's troops in Yinghao who was controlled by the thieves.

When Pu heard this, he laughed angry. At present, Huang Chao's forces were in the east and west of the River, and Ge Congzhou occupied Haozhou. The location was still west of the Influence Army, and it was separated from Sizhou and Xuzhou and Haozhou. Zeng Yuanyu said that Sizhou would be used as a base for attacking Ge Congzhou. Then according to his ideas, wouldn't Xuzhou and Haozhou also have to be requisitioned by Li Jing?

The entire reform army was only in the territory of the Three Prefectures, and was extremely weak. He had sent troops to Ruzhou before, but was slaughtered by the Zhongwu army halfway, and the rest were almost scattered. With just one territorial territory, Shi Pu had less than 10,000 troops in his hands. Seeing Li Jing swallowing Taining and the balance, and reaching out his tentacles to the reform army. He took Sizhou away at once, although he was extremely angry, he could do nothing.

Nowadays, the survival of the weak is like this. He relied on mutiny to drive away the presidency and became the influence of the military commander. Now that his butt has not yet sat firmly, Li Jing came. Shi Pu felt very angry and frustrated, but he was helpless.

Huainan, Yangzhou.

Since the defeat of the Huainan general Zhang Lin in Huang Chao last year, Gao Pian has shocked the world to retreat in Yangzhou and released Huang Chao to the north.

This year, Huang Chao was rampant in the Central Plains, Hebei Cong League rebelled, Li Jing swept the outside of the pass, and Li Keyong made a comeback, which was a battle between heroes.

Only Gao Pian, the former No. 1 general of the two dynasties, seemed to have been forgotten in Huainan at this time.

Huang Chao went north to the Central Plains, but Gao Pian ignored it.

Li Jing swept across the pass, but Gao Pian did not respond.

All the four towns in Hebei were against each other, and Gao Pian did not speak.

Shatuo rebelled against the Tang Dynasty twice, and Gao Pian remained silent.

If you don’t perish in silence, you will burst out in silence!

When Li Jing went south, swallowed the nineteen states, and even hit the doorstep of Huainan Town, Gao Pian, who had been silent for more than half a year, finally could no longer remain silent.

For Gao Pian, no matter how silent the current situation is, it will only perish.

In the Huainan General’s Mansion Festival Hall, Gao Pian, who had not appeared for a long time, finally appeared again. His eyes swept over the generals who had summoned him. Gao Qianli, who was wearing five Taoist robes, said in a deep voice: "You must have known that Li Jing, in the name of attacking Huang Chao, took advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains, had already swallowed Yichang, Tianping, and Taining towns, and went south all the way to Sizhou, an important town in Huainan, and drank the Huaihe River, and could break into our Huainan town at any time."

"In addition, Li Jing also arranged a navy and a first army of infantry in Hudouzhou, the estuary of the Yangtze River. This is a sharp sword hanging above our heads, threatening us all the time. Is it tolerable, who is intolerable?"

When the generals saw Gao Pian hit the table with a punch, their eyes jumped.

In the past year, Gao Pian has been staying in the mansion all day, either cultivating immortals or refining elixirs every day. To be honest, the tiger generals under his command have been watching the world storm, but they can only stay in Yangzhou City all day, and they really have an indescribable loneliness.

Many generals even had plans to leave in private.

Now, Gao Dashuai finally appeared again.

"Uncle, Li Jing takes Sizhou, and the next step is to cross the Huaihe River and run to us. We will be in trouble later. We should take the initiative first. We cannot wait for Li Jing to attack. We should take the initiative first." Gao Pian's nephew Gao Jie said out loud.

Although Li Jing's momentum is very strong now, it also gives everyone an excellent opportunity, that is, Li Jing's appetite is too big and he swallowed the territory of the nineteen provinces in just about half a year. From Jizhou to Sizhou, it is a total of two thousand miles north and south. Li Jing's front line is extremely long. If he counts further north and counts the territory of western Liaoning, then Li Jing's northern and southern front line has stretched more than three thousand miles.

There are strong enemies like the Khitan and the four towns in Hebei, and there are also balances in Henan, such as Taining, the newly swallowed vassal generals, and Huang Chao, the most powerful anti-king in the east. In addition to the influence army and their Huainan army, it can be said that Li Jing is the most powerful now, but in fact he has already made enemies everywhere and his troops have reached its limit.

It is like a bow string that has reached its peak. Although the more the bow is drawn, the stronger the arrow is, if it exceeds the limit of one degree, it will either break the string or break the bow.

As a famous general of a generation, Gao Pian was naturally not a person who had gained fame.

But over the past year, Gao Pian's actions have made people laugh at the world. They think that Gao Pian is old and has no courage.

Of course this is not the case. Although Gao Pian is waiting for an opportunity.

Gao Pian underestimated Li Jing before, but suffered several major losses under Li Jing's hands, which can be said to have lost both his wife and his army.

Li Jing slapped him in the face, and stationed 30,000 troops in Hu Douzhou and 10,000 troops on Yuzhou Island. He not only set up defenses on the important roads of the Huainan army to Ziqing north, but also held a sword on his back. After several failed fights with Li Jing, Gao Pian had already suppressed his impulsive anger.

After Zhang Lin's defeat, Gao Pian simply took this opportunity to pretend that he was frightened and retreated to Yangzhou City.

But in fact, he was waiting for an opportunity.

Now, this opportunity has been given to Gao Pian.

His chief of Shatuo, Li Guochang, came to ask for a meeting last night and handed him a secret letter.

The letter was written by Li Keyong. The content was an alliance. It already contained the signatures and handprints of the eight people of the Yanmen Jieshi, the commander of the Wei Bo Army, the commander of the Wei Bo Army, the commander of the Chengde Army, the commander of the Lulong Army, the commander of the Yiwu Army, the commander of the Khitan Yilijin Yelu Puguzhi. The signatures and handprints of the eight people of the Tatar Khan of the Shiwei Alliance.

Li Keyong invited Gao Pian to join the alliance and attack Li Jing together.

When he saw this secret letter, Gao Pian smiled. He finally waited for the opportunity, an opportunity to take revenge.

Others fear Li Jing, but Gao Pian has never been afraid of it.

For others, Li Jing's current power and personal reputation have reached its peak and he has become the second King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. However, in Gao Pian's eyes, Li Jing is not a god. If Li Jing carefully expanded steadily, first pacify the Khitan outside the pass, then enter the pass, defeat the four towns in Hebei, then send troops to Hedong and go south to the Central Plains, then Gao Pianzhen has no chance to deal with Li Jing. But since Li Jing has taken such a fierce expansion path, Gao Pian sees the opportunity.

Li Jing's momentum has reached its peak, but Li Jing's military distribution has also reached its peak. It seems to be hard to urge, but as long as one of the links is broken, the entire chain may collapse.

Gao Pian laughed in his heart. Facing the empty Central Plains, he probably wouldn't have missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to influence the towns even if he was in Li Jing's position.

The most important thing for a famous general is decisiveness. When an opportunity comes, seize it decisively.

Gao Pian saw the opportunity, so he would not miss it.

With Gao Pian's attitude, the entire meeting quickly reached an agreement.

"If you don't move, you will be thunderous. Now that Li Jing's main force is in Hebei and the Central Plains, we should send troops immediately. I thought that we should send troops to wipe out the 10,000 troops of Li Jing in Hu Douzhou!" After Wang Lin's death, Liang Zhang, one of the original Huainan Twins, naturally became the leader of all the generals.

There were originally 30,000 soldiers in Hudouzhou, but now there are only 10,000 troops left, including one navy and one infantry. These 10,000 troops were guarding the estuary of the Yangtze River, like a sharp sword, making Huainan Town look like a ray of light on its back.

Gao Pian nodded to Liang Zhang, "Okay, if you don't move, you will be thunder. Hu Douzhou will be handed over to General Liang!"

"Uncle and nephew think that the influence of the army is now small and small, and it has become a piece of meat on a chopping board. Li Jing has swallowed Sizhou, so we might as well just swallow Haozhou and then take the lead and seize Xuzhou." Gao Jie also proposed.

As one of the three states of the influence army, Haozhou was not in Huaibei, but in Huainan. Zhongli, an important town in the Huaihe River in Haozhou, is a key military base. Haozhou crosses the river and is Xuzhou. Xuzhou, as a hub between the north and the south, has been a must-win place for military strategists since ancient times.

Huai and Si have always been the focus of the dispute between the north and the south. Li Jing took the lead in seizing Sizhou, which was already one step away for Gao Pian. If Li Jing took Xuzhou again, it would be extremely unfavorable for Gao Pian.

Whoever can win Huai and Si will be able to occupy a favorable situation in this battle between the north and the south.

A sharp light in Gao Pian's eyes swept across the generals, and finally ordered: "Gao Jie, I appointed you as the governor of Xuzhou, Yao Guili as the governor of Sizhou, and Yu Gongchu as the governor of Haozhou. I will recruit 20,000 elite combat troops and recruit another 30,000 auxiliary troops, and Gao Jie as the commander-in-chief of the camp in the north, and Yao and Chu as the deputy."

"Receive the order from a humble position!" Gao Jie and the other two looked happy and quickly responded.

Gao Pian turned his gaze to Liang Zhang again, "I have also dispatched 20,000 troops to recruit 30,000 troops to you, and be the governor of the south camp, and be appointed as the governor of Chuzhou. Qin Yan, Bi Shiduo, and Li Hanzhi's three generals were the deputy."

"Abide by the order!"
Chapter completed!
