Fan Chengshan died suddenly when he drank, and Tang Yushang was ordered to take charge of the four thousand Raozhou troops.

Tang Yushang had no confidence in suppressing his two thousand-fang army, and was afraid that the four thousand-fang soldiers would mutiny, so he requested a complete solution to Fan Chengshan's command.

Commander Ye Dongfeng ordered two thousand Wuning troops to become Raozhou troops and return to the commander of Tang Yushang.

Under the intimidation of the Wuning Army, Fan Chengshan's two thousand Raozhou soldiers were dispersed and divided into the Wuning Army.

The army set out, and soon the troops arrived at Shangrao County, the capital of Xinzhou.

The troops in Shangrao County were 5,000, and the governor of Xinzhou Wei Zaichang closed the city gates and asked people to seek help from Hongzhou, Fuzhou.

Ye Dongfeng was stationed outside the city, and was not in a hurry to attack the city. He shot in letters to persuade the surrender, and kindly suggested that Wei Zaichang leave the city.

Wei Zaichang ignored it.

......

Hongzhou, the self-proclaimed Zhennan Army governor Wei Quanfan, learned about the military situation of the Huainan Army's large-scale attack, and could only gritted his teeth and prepare for the battle.

Jiangxi was blocked by the southern Sichuan army and its business was in decline.

In exchange for salt, Jiangxi lost a lot of food and iron, and the lack of salt directly affected the combat effectiveness of the army.

The outflow of lifeline resources in Jiangxi also caused a large number of population outflows, mainly to Quzhou and Wuzhou in eastern Zhejiang.

Wei Quanfan received a request for help from Wei Zaichang, so he could only instruct people to go back to Xinzhou, walk through Xinzhou to Wuzhou, and meet Gu Quanwu for help.

Gu Quanwu, the governor of Wusheng Army and the governor of Wuzhou, has become a vassal state outside Hangzhou in recent years.

Hangzhou has always supported Wuzhou to raise 30,000 troops.

Gu Quanwu absorbed young and strong people from Jiangxi, and in fact he had a force of 40,000.

Compared with Wuzhou, Quzhou intercepted the Jiangxi population passing by, and the military power expanded to 30,000.

Gu Quanwu and Qian Chuan, each growing stronger without disturbing each other.

However, the peaceful scene in Liangzhe troubled them, and where would the future be in a daze?

The great emperor inherited the king and made the rule of Hangzhou, Suzhou and Yuezhou open, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, light taxes and levies, and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Over time, a long time will lead to an inertia of living and working in peace and contentment. Those who destroy their living and working in peace will inevitably be hated, let alone rebellion that does not take the righteousness.

With the arrival of the envoy of Weiquan Shaman, Gu Quanwu fell into a choice and joined forces with Weiquan Shaman to fight against the Southern Sichuan Army?

Gu Quanwu was unable to make a decision, so he asked someone to ask Qian Chuan, and took into account the thoughts of testing Qian Chuan.

Qian Chuan replied: "There is no chance of supporting the defeated Huainan army. We have no limit on our support for the defeated Huainan army. We have all out and we have no guarantee of our foundation."

Gu Quanwu read the reply and found out how much Qian Chuan was thinking. He was unwilling to give up, but he was rational and should not move easily.

Gu Quanwu also wrote letters to the governor of Muzhou Cheng and his letters.

Cheng Ji replied: "The people are at peace, but the general trend is irreversible."

Gu Quanwu was angry that Chengji was ungrateful and unwilling to support the revival of the Qian family. He vained the importance of the former king Qian Liu and redeemed his kindness.

It turned out that Cheng Ji was once one of the eight generals of Hangzhou, Jingjiang general.

Chengji was a scholar from a scholar and spared no effort after assisting Qian Li. Although he was trusted and heavily used by Qian Li, he gradually lost the independence of Jingjiangdu.

Especially in the Suzhou War, Cheng Ji was captured by the Huainan Army and detained for more than two years.

When Qian Liu was redeemed and returned, Jingjiang was in name only and completely integrated into Qian Liu's direct lineage.

Therefore, Chengji's power is not as good as Du Feng and Gao Yan, but he is a general of Qian Liu, without his own foundation of force.

Chengji, a person in his fifties, would rather be peaceful and stable in his hometown. He had nothing to do with Qian Chuan, had no relationship, and he could not speak of his feelings, and he felt that he had no obligation to support him.

......

Wei Quan's satirized messenger returned without success, passed through Shangrao County, Xinzhou, and shot into a letter to inform him.

Wei Zaichang was not very disappointed. It was easy to ask for a god and it was difficult to send a god. When the Hangzhou army came, it might turn against him and seize Xinzhou.

In recent years, in exchange for Zhejiang salt, Xinzhou has paid a huge price, and the population has fled more than 30%.

Wei Zaichang has a lot of resentment towards Quzhou.

......

Hongzhou, Wei Quanshen not only asked for help from Gu Quanwu, but also asked for help from other Jiangxi prefectures.

Jizhou supports 10,000 troops, and Yuanzhou supports 5,000 troops.

Yuanzhou Governor Peng Yu explained that the Sichuan Army in Changsha Prefecture needs to be defended.

The envoy who went to Ganzhou brought back the bad news, Lu Guangchou died of illness, and the heirs were being fought for in Ganzhou.

Wei Quan lamented that it was really not the time to die, and Ganzhou could support at least 10,000 troops.

......

The Wuning army was in Xinzhou. Half a month later, the Huainan army led by Qin Pei arrived at Hongzhou City.

Qin Pei looked at the towering Yuzhang County and felt sad that he had started again.

The last time Li Shenfu was in charge, he just followed the army to beat the side drum.

Qin Pei was fifty-one years old, and his temples were gray. He was only a few years younger than Yang Xingmi.

Qin Pei was originally a dental cadet under Yang Xingmi.

In the early days when Yang Xingmi entered Huainan Road, he was transferred to a local official, and his qualifications in the army were not as good as Xu Wen and Zhang Hao.

Speaking of the past, Qin Pei once followed Zhang Hao for a long time to fight and was considered an old subordinate of Zhang Hao.

Qin Pei became the governor of the Eastern Wu and had a higher status than Zhang Hao, but he never entrusted his respect for Zhang Hao and made friends with Xu Wen.

Qin Pei’s ability to make a name for himself is inseparable from Xu Wen’s support.

The Huainan Army has many outstanding military achievements.

Qin Pei was placed outside the place as the magistrate of Yang Zi County, and no one spoke in front of Yang Xingmi. Yang Xingmi could not remember Qin Pei.

Li Chengnai stood beside him, looking up at the city wall, with a young face and a firm and eager to try.

Qin Pei turned his head and saw it and asked, "How do you think we should take down Hongzhou City?"

Li Chengnai replied: "I have heard of it. The last time I was caught in the city three days, and this time I won it ten days."

Qin Pei shook his head and said, "It's different. You have to know yourself and your enemy. The last time Huainan war was full of fierce soldiers, and it was a big plunder and inspired to capture the city."

Li Chengnai was surprised and said, "The general intends to siege the city for a long time, but our army can't afford to carry out an expedition."

Qin Pei said: "If you can't afford to delay, you have to delay. If you can't siege, you can't trap the city. Our army's morale will inevitably be depressed. We must be besieged for a period of time to weaken the fighting spirit and physical strength of the Hongzhou army."

Li Chengnai said: "The subordinates cannot understand the statement of the Grand Marshal."

Qin Pei said: "Know yourself and your enemy. Jiangxi lacks salt, and a lot of grain is outflowed for high-priced salt.

Therefore, the city of Hongzhou will not store salt. The army lacks salt and lacks physical strength, which will also affect the loss of morale and fighting spirit."

Li Chengnai disagreed and nodded in agreement.

Qin Pei said again: "We are eager to fight quickly and decide quickly. Both of us have suffered losses and losses. How can we deal with the Southern Sichuan Army?

Li Chengnai's face changed.

Qin Pei said again: "The situation is no better than the past. The Sichuan Army in the past was unwilling to confront the Huainan Army, and Hongzhou would not be able to take it away without any tit.

Now we are taking Hongzhou, and the southern Sichuan army will take away at least the territory of Luling Jiedu.”

Li Chengnai nodded, and Jiangzhou Governor Zhong Kuangfan was only willing to dispatch 5,000 troops to participate in the battle in Hongzhou, and the reason was that it was necessary to prevent the southern Sichuan army from coming.

Qin Pei asked, "Have you heard of the rumors in the army?"

Li Chengnai replied: "Mastery is the disagreement between the king and Master Chu?"

Qin Pei nodded and said, "The army was rumored, and the king ordered that the military supplies from the Eastern Wu from Jiangning should be handed over to the Yangzhou Military Prefecture.

Chu Yu's refusal caused the king's anger and instructed Li Jian to capture Chu Yu."

Li Chengnai said: "What he said is not the truth, and the king did not instruct Li Jian."

Qin Pei said: "Most of the soldiers of the Eastern Wu army believed that the king sought the military supplies of the Eastern Wu and intended to deduct a part of them. The king served as the ambassador of the inner treasury and deducted the military supplies of the states."

Li Chengnai said nothing, and everyone knew about Yangzhou's deductions.

If you give 100 taels of silver as follows, you can actually get 80 taels of silver in the army, and the generals will deduct it layer by layer.

Qin Pei said again: "Since Lord Li Shenfu passed away, the distribution of military supplies in the Eastern Wu has changed from the past. Jiangning directly sent it to the battalions, and warned him to drink soldiers and stop supplying it."

Li Chengnai said: "Master Chu took away the financial power of the governor of the Eastern Wu Army."

Qin Pei said: "It's not just financial power. The king really attacked Chu Yu, but I'm afraid that many Eastern Wu troops would disobey and even turn against Chu Yu."

Li Chengnai said: "My father passed away, why did the former king ignore Chu Yu's changes in military supplies?"

Qin Pei whispered: "The old king was old and sick, and he had not had much time to go. To support Chu Yu was a means to check and balance the veteran generals of the Huainan Army, and to indulge Chu Yu's tail to the point of being too big."

Li Chengnai nodded in agreement.

Qin Pei said: "You said you can't afford to delay it. The Eastern Wu army relies on Jiangning's supplies. Do you think Chu Yu will cut off the military supplies?"
