The frost gradually fades, and buds and tiles are reborn.

The spring scenery is harmonious, and the wind on the Hehuang land is still cold.

Yang Xian's troops stationed in Hehuang, with 100,000 troops gathered in Huangcheng. In addition, there are a large number of demons and barbarians who surrendered. After several years of development, although this Huangcheng is on the border, it already has the atmosphere of a big city.

In the past few years, the situation in the world has changed drastically. The Zhou army went north, the Liang army moved the capital, Wu and Chu surrendered, and the demon clan went south. The Zhou army fought against two other forces on the border with this small Huangcheng as the center.

Not long ago, there was a new change in the Liang State. Emperor Liang Huan Qing died, and the one who inherited the throne of Daliang was his legitimate son Huan Tang, who was still in his infancy.

"Lord, Su Mei has already controlled the situation."

When the information from Shenwu City came, Huan Tang officially ascended the throne shortly after Huan Qing's death.

However, how could a young son who can't even speak control the government and handle political affairs?

The military and political structure of the Liang court has changed in the past few years. When Huan Wu died, two generals of the Huan family were in the center, and six generals of the other surnames were in the frontier. Then, they formed aid of foreign families such as Su, Chang, and Yang, so that Huan Qing could control the government smoothly.

Now, as Chang Yu surrendered to the Great Zhou, the Chang clan gradually fell to the brink of the Liang court. As the Zhou army took control of Yongzhou, in the past few years, many Chang clan members defected to the Great Zhou.

The Yang clan, under the suppression and exclusion of the Huan clan for several years, most of its forces were concentrated in the Lu Mansion.

With Huan Qing's death, the Huan family and the Su family had completely divided the Liang court, and both sides had their own spheres of influence.

In the palace at the top of Huangcheng, Lou Jing stood behind Yang Xian and said slowly.

"Huan Tang ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the government, and the four ministers were appointed to assist in the government affairs, and the situation in Shenwu City had stabilized."

"Which four?"

"Huan Li, Huan Zhong, Huan Gong and Su Wen, the elder of Su family!"

"Oh? Didn't my uncle become a life-care minister?"

Yang Xian smiled. The Huan family was afraid of the Yang family, but two of the four ministers were deeply hostile to him. I guess he was not having a good life now.

"As Zhao Ye resigned from office and returned to the field, almost all the old ministers of the Huan Wu era had left the center of the Liang Ting. Although Su Wen was one of the four ministers of the resignation, he was always low-key and almost a decoration. Whenever he discussed the matter, he mostly ignored him and attached himself to the Huan family. The power of the Liang Ting was almost controlled by the elders of the Huan family. If it weren't for Huan Biao's control, Huan Li and others would have taken action against Yang Jian. But even so, the Huan family still kept making small moves. Huan Zhong sent many of his confidants to Lu Mansion and Shao Jin, trying to strengthen control over these two places and weaken the control of the Yang clan. However, on the surface, the Yang clan still received a lot of preferential treatment."

Yang Xian looked at the map in front of him and Lu Mansion was at the center of the struggle between the three forces. In Shenggan Lake in the northeast, it was a strategic area where the demon clan and the Liang army competed for each other at this moment.

There are many attack routes for the demon clan to go south. You can reach Fengyuan to the east, and go south through the border of Yan State to attack Luoyan Pass. However, this road is not easy to walk because it will cause the demon clan’s army to be sandwiched between the Liang army and the Yan army, and will be attacked left and right if you are not careful. Therefore, this road is not the first choice for the demon clan.

In the battle in Hehuang, the demon army's crushing defeat made Wu Hao give up the idea of ​​attacking from here.

The rest is Shenggan Lake, the march route.

Not long ago, the army of demon clans emerged from Langtai and entered Shenggan Lake. If they obtained this area, the road for the demon clans to go south had been opened. From then on, whether it was to capture Lu Mansion, to Bingzhou, or to seize Jingyue Pass, or to enter Youji, it would be unobstructed.

It is precisely because of the importance of this area that the Liang army would fight it with all their might. At this moment, General Huan Zhong led 30,000 Northern Army to sit in Jicheng, while Zheng Da and tens of thousands of troops gathered in Shenggan Lake to confront the demon army.

Shenggan Lake is very important to both the Liang army and the Demon army. The direction of this war will determine the changes in the offensive and defensive situation between the two sides. However, Shenggan Lake is useless to the Zhou army, because the Zhou army cannot spare the Lu Mansion and occupy this area, even if it can occupy it, it cannot be defended.

Therefore, for this war, the Zhou army was a completely bystander.

"What's going on with the Yang clan?"

"Since the last incident, Yang Jian has strengthened the management of the children of the clan, and our contact with Yang Jian has slowed down. In this war, Yang Jian has no movement at all."

The Zhou army was stationed in Hehuang, with the barbarian king Hao Wei in the north and the Lufu Yangjian in the east. They were surrounded by two sides. In this case, no matter what the Zhou army had, they could not hide it from these two sides.

If you want to break this situation, getting Lu Mansion is the best way to break the deadlock.

However, the Zhou army had multiple resistances, because they did not want the Zhou army to capture the Lu Mansion, which was something that Yang Jian, Huan clan and even Wu Hao were willing to see. In this direction, their goals were the same.

After the last incident, the two generals within the Huan clan had reached an agreement on the attitude of the Yang clan. That was to use it but not to abandon it, and to abide by Yang Jian's control over the Shangxi Cavalry and Lu Mansion to resist the offensive of the Zhou army.

However, when it comes to implementation, there are still many differences within the Huan clan. It can even be said that the attitude of the Yang clan within the Liang court was multi-directional. Although Huan Gong was able to control the situation, he could not stop the hostility and malice of the Huan clan elders who had increasingly expanded their power towards the Yang clan.

Otherwise, Huan would not have so many small moves, constantly provoking Yang Jian's nerves.

"At this time, the Liang army and the demon army have started a war. Should we take this opportunity to capture Lu Mansion?"

There are only 80,000 Liang troops in the central and northern Bingzhou, and they are scattered in two places. Compared with the Zhou army, the troops are much less. Therefore, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the moment when the demon army fights with the Liang army and attack Lu Mansion.

Yang Xian smiled and shook his head slightly.

"Haway is not a simple character. When we attack the Lu Mansion, he may not sit idly by the way. Moreover, if we attack the Lu Mansion at this moment, even if we can take it down, our previous layout will be ruined. So, wait a little longer."

"What are the lord waiting for?"

"Wait until the people of Liangting lose all their hearts."

Listening to Yang Xian's words, Lou Jing felt thoughtful. Yang Xian's voice was very light and light, but the meaning of the words gave Lou Jing the feeling that he was wandering in the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the looming peaks were vast and high, and there was no end.

"The world is like a situation, and one son can get the eternal career. Master Lou, everything is as old as before, wait for the opportunity."

The feather fan in Yang Xian waved lightly, and with a gust of wind, it blew a little into the corner of his clothes.

"I understand!"
