"Haha!" Ji Qianqian said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, such a large army of Wang Hong, although the general combat effectiveness of the army is not as good as the regular army under the adult's account. But with so many soldiers and horses, wouldn't the adults be impressed? If this army can be brought into the possession of the adults, wouldn't the strength of the adults be greatly strengthened?"

Ji Qianqian's words make Wang Zhaozhen's heart itchy, but he wants to control this army, but this is just to believe Wang Zhaozhen's own thinking. It is even more difficult to control Wang Hong, not to mention turning Wang Hong into his own power.

Ji Qianqian smiled faintly, and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to control Wang Hong. My lord, Wang Hong is actually a member of Mingjiao. It turns out that he was under the orders of Zhang Yuanzheng, the saint of Zuo Jiaojia. He suddenly betrayed Da. Saint King, destroying the Great Saint King Army is actually under Zhang Yuanzheng’s control. Now He Zizai, the acting leader of Mingjiao, admires you and has a good relationship with you. Therefore, as long as you can draw in Mingjiao people and make friends with peace freely. , Why should you worry about their betrayal?"

"Uh!" Xinwang Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed deeply, what Ji Qianqian said is also a way. It's just that this method is still somewhat unsafe. If Zhang Yuan is tearing up the contract and suddenly committing evil with him, Wang Hongjun will immediately become a rebel.

Now Wang Hong leads tens of thousands of troops, as well as soldiers and horses that have been taken over from Li Cheng and others, which adds up to nearly 50,000 horses. With so many soldiers and horses Chen Bing in Fuzhou and east of Ezhou, it is hard to guarantee that nothing will happen to him. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also expressed his concerns.

However, Ji Qianqian narrowed her eyes, smiled faintly, and said: "This matter is easy to hear, adults must not forget. There is another force south of Guangnan West Road that has not yet returned to His Royal Highness. Wang Hong is at least superficially. Those who are loyal to the adults shouldn’t let Wang Hong lead the nearly fifty thousand army to attack here, it will not only expand the adult’s power, but also consume the number of soldiers and horses in Wang Hong's hands. It is really killing two birds with one stone!"

"Ah! Qianqian, did you mean that Da Yue Li family?" Xin Wang Zhao Zhen reacted immediately. The force Ji Qianqian was referring to was the Dayue Li family who had been colluding with Song Junbing on Guangnanxi Road before resuming it. The Li family can be regarded as a royal family in Da Yue, and the occupying party becomes a country. At the beginning, the Li family had never shown much ambition, but simply controlled Da Yue, but did not intend to come out and occupy the territory.

Only later, when the Zhao family army of the letter king Zhao Zhen attacked Guangnan West Road, the Yue Li Dynasty colluded with the remnant Song army and occupied a large area of the Song Dynasty to the west and south of the Hengshan stockade.

It is precisely because of this that, as the Prince of Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen, the letter king who safeguarded the interests of Song Dynasty territory, needed to fight back to this area and destroy the little Li Yue dynasty.

However, due to the busy time during this period, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen forgot this place. Now that Ji Qianqian suddenly mentioned Da Yue, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen remembered that in the southernmost part of the Central Plains, there was still such a force that not only had not yet returned to him, but also occupied a lot of his Da Song's territory.

Ji Qianqian smiled and nodded, and said: "The Li family keeps the entire Da Yue management from dripping in. Although the Li family has not been involved in the struggle between the lords in the south, there is always such an uncertain element behind. , I believe adults will also feel a little uncomfortable."

Hearing what Ji Qianqian said, Xinwang Zhaozhen also narrowed his eyes, and then he nodded and said: "Qianqian's plan is very good, just as Qianqian said. I will write a letter and pass it to Zhang Xiaorang. I believe that Zhang Xiaorang’s intellect will definitely be able to make the best judgment."

Zhang Xiaorang's ability has already performed very well this time when he put down the military chaos of Qi State, Li Cheng and others. Besides, Zhang Xiaorang had General Zhong and others with him. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen believed that Zhang Xiaorang would be able to handle this matter.

Immediately, the letter king Zhao Zhen immediately wrote a secret letter with a few strokes, and directly recruited a soldier, holding his own secret letter and withdrew. After this secret letter was conveyed to Zhang Xiaorang's hands, I believe it was the time for Zhang Xiaorang to act.

Chaozhou was originally a land near the sea on Fujian Road, but since Zhao Gou's control over all surrounding areas weakened under the trouble of the king of Xin Zhao, Chaozhou was captured by pirates, and Fan Ru at that time was too helpless and unable to take care of himself. Recapture Chaozhou. After that, Gao An led the army under the tent to attack the thieves and bandits everywhere, and by the way, Chaozhou was also attacked. At this point, Chaozhou was re-subjected to Gao'an. In addition to Chaozhou, there are many places that are not under the control of Fujian Road, but now they have all been taken by Gao'an.

Since Gao'an took control of Fujian Road, Fan Ruwei was not as ambitious as Fan Ruwei. In order to expand his power, Gao'an sent troops to take back several towns north of Fujian Road that belonged to Fujian Road.

After the First World War in Xianning, Gao An knew that his power was the weakest. In order to prevent the annexation of other princes, Gao An sent Xia Cheng and Wang Xiong to the north and south of Fujian Road to prevent Peng You and Liu Tong who infiltrated Fujian Road. , Launched an attack on himself. At the same time, he also sent his envoys to Xinzhou where Xia Cheng was entrenched by Xia Cheng who was suddenly attacked by Peng You and occupied Fuzhou, and asked Xia Cheng to form an alliance. After all, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

However, Gao An's worries seemed to be superfluous. Nearly a month after the Battle of Xianning, Peng You and Liu Tong were silent, as if they all began to nest in their own territory and develop slowly.

Since the opponent is not moving, Gao An will naturally not be polite, and vigorously develop his troops on Fujian Road. In such a troubled world, only if his subordinates are strong enough can they not be bullied by others, Gao An knew very well in his heart.

But in this way, Wang Xiong, who was sent by Gao'an to Chaozhou to be stationed, suffers. With Wang Xiong's temperament, he just stays in Chaozhou and can't go anywhere. It's really a torture. Had it not been for Gao An's command, Wang Xiong would have ran back with soldiers and horses.

But even if Wang Xiong was bold enough, he did not dare to disobey Gao An's orders. He could only spread his anger on his subordinates every day. He didn't know how many soldiers were justified by Wang Xiong and received a whip.

Of course, Wang Xiong's temperament is reckless and impatient. How could Gao An not know that, naturally, he would not rest assured that Wang Xiong would go to Chaozhou alone. To this end, Gao An also sent his advisers Zhang Qianma and Shen Zhu to follow Wang Xiong. Zhang Qianma was introduced by Tong Wenbo and was his aunt's cousin. Although Shen Zhu has taken refuge in Gao An not long ago, he heard that his family's younger sister will soon marry Gao An, and she is considered Gao An's brother-in-law.

Therefore, Wang Xiong had to sell some face to these two people, and he didn't dare to be too rude. Since arriving in Chaozhou, Shen Zhu took over the government affairs of Chaozhou, and Zhang Qianma was also in charge of his military affairs in Chaozhou. As for Wang Xiong, there is no war now. Of course, he has both hands and he doesn't care about anything.

Holding the information just sent in his hand, Zhang Qianma looked a little solemn, and quickly walked into the leader's residence. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Qianma asked the soldier guarding the gate of the mansion: "Where is General Wang now?"

The soldier naturally recognized Zhang Qianma and hurriedly saluted Zhang Qianma, but when he heard Zhang Qianma's question, the soldier immediately became hesitating, even showing a trace of horror on his face.

Seeing the appearance of the soldier, Zhang Qianma's face immediately turned pale. Although the soldier didn't dare to say anything, Zhang Qianma had already guessed what Wang Xiong was doing now. Immediately, Zhang Qianma no longer felt embarrassed by the soldier, snorted and walked straight towards the mansion.

Sure enough, Zhang Qianma had just walked to the entrance of the front yard of the mansion and heard painful shouts from inside. Hearing this voice, Zhang Qianma's face was a bit ugly again, without saying anything, he walked into the yard in one stride and saw it in the yard.

At this time, several soldiers were standing on both sides, and three wooden stakes were placed in the middle of the yard, on which three soldiers were firmly bound. It's just that these three soldiers are all shirtless, with bloodstains on their bodies, and the Wang Xiong Zhang Qianma is looking for is now holding a wine jar in one hand, but holding a long whip in the other.

I saw Wang Xiong staring with bright red eyes, drinking a sip of wine from time to time, and from time to time he flicked his whip. The whip hit the soldier fiercely, bringing bloodstains, just the screams of the soldiers. Just let Zhang Qianma tremble all over his body.

"General Wang Xiong!" Zhang Qianma couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly. He dashed forward, stretched out his hand to snatch the whip in Wang Xiong's hand, and shouted loudly: "General Wang! How many times have I said below, I can't whip the soldiers at will! Why the general has repeatedly banned this whip? The hearts of the soldiers are broken, who else will charge for the generals in the future?"

Someone suddenly rushed out inexplicably and snatched his whip. The grumpy Wang Xiong immediately stared at his red eyes to get angry. But when he saw that it was Zhang Qianma, he swallowed the words again.

It's not that Wang Xiong is afraid of Zhang Qianma, but that Wang Xiong is afraid of another person, that is, Tong Wenbo, Zhang Qianma's cousin. Don't look at Tong Wenbo's usual smile of harmless humans and animals, but every time Wang Xiong did something wrong, that White Jing Sergeant would always make himself punished, and the punishment was heavy, but Wang Xiong couldn't make a fire.

Faced with such a person, Wang Xiong usually dare not offend him. Now even if he is changed to Tong Wenbo's brother, Wang Xiong is also afraid to be rough. Seeing Zhang Qianma snatched his whip, Wang Xiong could only shrink his head and said, "That, Mr. Zhang, that, these three boys made mistakes, I just punished them slightly. "

"Humph!" Zhang Qianma would believe that there are ghosts for Wang Xiong's excuse. Needless to ask, Zhang Qianma also knows that these three soldiers committed trivial matters at most, or did not accompany Wang Xiong to drink, but they just happened to encounter Wang Xiong’s fiery temper, and he was very unlucky enough to be beaten to death. .

If Zhang Qianma hadn't come in time, I'm afraid these three people would die under Wang Xiong's whip. But in any case, Wang Xiong is always Gao An’s righteous brother, and Zhang Qianma is not so harsh. He can only snorted coldly, and asked the soldiers on both sides to let go of the three soldiers who had been whipped. Take it down for medical treatment.

But Zhang Qianma dropped his whip and said to Wang Xiong solemnly: "General Wang! I have something to discuss, so let's change a place." In Zhang Qianma's view, Wang Xiong is useless except for being brave. , If it wasn't for Gao An's righteous brother, Zhang Qianma would look down on this crude person.

Wang Xiong smiled and threw the wine jar in his hand to the soldiers next to him, and said to Zhang Qianma: "It should be! If not, go to the chamber to discuss, come, come! Bring me tea and bring it up!" On the one hand, Wang Xiong was not sloppy. After a command, he walked directly to the chamber not far away with Zhang Qianma.

When they arrived in the chamber, the two were seated separately. Zhang Qianmara had a face and said to Wang Xiong: "General Wang, according to the latest information, Zhao Yan has dispatched an army to divide the southern part of the Qi State Army and Zhejiang Two Routes. He Dayue. It seems that this joint attack between Qi and Zhao Gou really annoyed Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan even sent his main light cavalry and heavy cavalry troops to annihilate the Qi State Army."

Wang Xiong smiled heartlessly, and said: "Don't look at Master Zhao Yan who seems to be very talkative, this kid is small-minded. Then Zhao Gou and Jin Guo's running dog Qi Guojun dare to make ground on his head, then Don’t you want to kill yourself? It’s okay, one is a traitor, the other is to run away from the emperor. It is always a scourge to keep these guys, let Master Zhao Yan solve them all in one go. Hahahaha!"

When Zhang Qianma heard that, which one of the Wang Xiong's mother was? He was not as open as Wang Xiong, and said in a deep voice: "General Wang! This is not that simple. Can't you see that Zhao Yanjun's large-scale deployment of troops at this time is not good news for our Fujian Road. ."

Wang Xiong was not angry when Zhang Qianma shouted so, but he shrugged his shoulders in confusion, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, you also know that my old Wang's brain is not good. What is the problem? I opened it up and said it under the covers, but I didn't understand it."

Zhang Qianma glanced at Wang Xiong with contempt in his heart, snorted, and said: "Since the First World War in Xianning, the adults have sent generals to garrison with us in Chaozhou, the purpose is to prevent Liu Tongjun from invading. For such a long time, Liu Tong has not moved, and it is also because Zhao Yan’s army has always looked at it. Now Zhao Yan has sent his army to the north and Zhejiang. For Liu Tong and Peng You, this is a golden opportunity, how can they May be missed? So it will not be long before Peng You and Liu Tong will send people to attack Fujian Road. At that time, the Shao Wu Army in the north will definitely be Peng You’s primary target. I just got the transfer order and we are going to the Shao Wu Army to garrison. To prevent Peng Youjun’s attack."

After listening to Zhang Qianma saying all this, Wang Xiong suddenly laughed, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "What am I supposed to be? It turned out to be just like this! Hahahaha! Let's go right away. As for Peng You's attack, But it's nothing. Old Peng You will come as soon as he wants to come. Am I still afraid that he will not succeed? Huh! If he dares to come, I will kill him."

"General Wang!" Seeing that Wang Xiong didn't care at all, Zhang Qianma was also anxious, and said quickly: "How can the general underestimate Peng You? After Peng You suddenly defeated Xia Cheng, he dominated the large area of Jiangnanxi Road. His power is second only to that of Zhao Yan, and his cavalry is the elite cavalry of the world. If Peng You comes to attack, Fujian’s road is in danger!"

Regarding Zhang Qianma’s words, Wang Xiong licked his mouth, stood up directly, and said to Zhang Qianma: "Mr. Zhang! When it comes to Wu Wen and Mo, my old Wang is not as good as you if you are tied together with a hundred pieces. When it comes to marching and fighting, you are not as good as my old king."
