Chapter 1239 Getting the News

As Guo Jia spoke, he handed the pigeon letter to the other people. Soon, everyone had finished reading the pigeon letter. It turns out that the above is the pigeon message sent back from the Jinyang Shadow Guard station. It said that since last year, Jinyang has sent food and grass to the north twice one after another. At first, the Shadow Guards did not pay much attention, thinking that it was just an ordinary delivery of food and grass. After all, the northern counties need Taiyuan to support one person every year. Only by supplying grain and grass can they survive the winter.

But after the spring of this year, as soon as the roads became walkable, Zhao Jun began to transport grain and grass to the north again. If there were not a large army dispatched, there would certainly not be such a shortage of grain and grass. Therefore, the Shadow Guards began to inquire about information through various channels in Jinyang City, and finally got a definite message two days ago. Zhao State indeed wanted to send troops, but they could not find out who specifically sent troops to attack.

After getting the news, Shadow first sent the news back, and then continued to send people to find out more detailed information. But they didn't know that only a few people in the entire Zhao Kingdom knew the purpose of sending troops.

Soon everyone had read the pigeon letter, and Pang Tong said: "In fact, it is possible that this is news released by Zhao Guo, trying to seal it and deliberately confusing us."

Lu Su also said: "Indeed, there are two possibilities! Your Majesty, when Zhao State sends out troops, there is no possibility for us to interfere. Now everyone in Taiyuan has been prepared. If it is just to contain the Zhao army and cause too much loss to the army, , the gain is not worth the loss. What’s more, we are not ready to send troops to Zhao at all, so it is better to pass this information to the two allies of Yan and Wuyuan and let them deal with it carefully! "

Everyone also nodded. It is true. If you really want to control Zhao State, then the only way is to attack Zhao State's passes with real swords and guns. But if you do this just to contain Zhao State, the losses will be too great. Some.

After thinking about it, Huangfu Chaobo had no choice but to do this, so he said: "Let's do it like this, Shi A, send someone to pass the information collected by Shadow to the allies on both sides, and let's just wait and see what happens."

"Okay, that's it for today. Everyone, please disperse. After the Shi Yuan is over, you can set off. I leave everything to you!"

"We are determined to live up to the king's trust!"

"Okay, I have good news waiting for you in Luoyang. If I can successfully capture Shangjun and prepare for the army to control Hetao, I will enjoy you ten jars of the best wine when I return to the army!"

"Then I would like to express my gratitude to the king for the reward!"

…

After everyone left the palace, Huangfu Chaobo thought about Zhao's sending troops. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he sent someone to call Guo Jia back again: "Fengxiao, do you really not need to send troops to help contain Zhao Jun? What if? Are the allies sending troops to ask for help? Why not send troops from Shangai?"

"The little minister wants to ask what is in the king's heart,

Which one is more important, Bingzhou or Jizhou? "Guo Jia asked;

"It must be Jizhou!"

"In this case, the army is not even ready to send troops to merge with the state, so why expose our trump card just for a small valley?"

Huangfu Chaobo suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

"What's more, although Zhang Yan has pledged allegiance to the king now, the Black Mountain Army is not entirely under our control. If we take action easily, the results will be unpredictable!"

"As for the rescue of the allies that the king is worried about, if the messenger really arrives, we can just send troops to deal with it. However, the king can make some efforts on the side of General Yan Gang, the governor of Shanggu, and send people to warn him in advance. , and then send someone to send one to two thousand sets of high-end weapons and equipment to equip Governor Yan's soldiers."

When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he thought it was indeed a good idea. Gongsun Zan had already received all the high-end weapons and equipment in Jicheng. Yan Gang probably only had a hundred or so weapons left in his hands. For a prefect of a county, It was really too shabby. If he could send a thousand sets, Yan Gang would definitely be grateful, and it would also be a good opportunity to improve the relationship between him and Gongsun Zan.

"What a great idea. I immediately ordered Huang Xu to arrange the matter." Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile, stroking his hands;

…

Bingzhou, Shangjun, Fushi City.

Jiang Shan was walking around anxiously in the general's mansion, holding a piece of written paper in his hand. It was a piece of information just sent by his subordinate general Jiang Jian. The news above made him confused.

At this moment, a young scribe in white Confucian attire walked in, but he was Jiangshan's military advisor.

"General! Are you looking for me?" The scribe walked quickly to Jiang Shan and saluted;

Hearing this, Jiang Shan felt helpless. This scribe was indeed Fazheng, a famous strategist in the Shu Kingdom in history. However, although he had always thought that he was working for him, he had never surrendered to him. It can be seen from his title. Call yourself a general instead of calling yourself a lord like others in Jiang Jian.

When I first persuaded Fazheng, the two of them had an agreement that if Jiangshan could not become the prefect of a county within five years, Fazheng would not recognize him as the master, so even if Jiangshan was helpless, there was nothing he could do. A great guy.

However, Jiang Shan could no longer care about this. When he saw Fazheng coming in, he hurried up to greet him and said, "Sir, the Tang army in the east of Hedong has noticed a strange movement of troops and horses."

With that said, he handed the information in his hand to Fazheng.

If you want to say that there is only one person that the players in Jiangshan are most afraid of, that is Tang Wang Huangfu Chaobo, so whether it is him or the remaining king and Xiongba, the three of them have never relaxed their surveillance of the Tang army in Hedong from the beginning to the end. .

Early this morning, news came from Jiangshan's spies in Hedong, saying that they had discovered some unusual movements among the soldiers and horses in Hedong, so they sent the news back to Shangjun without stopping. As soon as he got the news, Jiang Shan immediately invited Fazheng over.

After receiving the information sent by Jiangshan, Fa Zheng read it in a few seconds and said: "The Tang Army has sent troops!"

Jiang Shandao: "From the military advisor's perspective, how should we act?"

"When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them up!" Fa Zheng said proudly: "General, please also ask the general to find out the situation of the Tang army's dispatch of troops as soon as possible. The number of soldiers and horses, and the generals who will lead the troops. The clearer the better."

Just as he was talking, the guard outside said: "My lord, General Wang, the remnant of Dingyang, sent someone outside to ask for an urgent meeting! He said he has important information to report!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shan quickly said: "Quick, invite him in immediately."

After a while, a Dingyang general was brought to Jiangshan, bowed and said: "I will pay my respects to General Yangwei!"

"Why did your general send you here?"

"General Yangwei, my lord sent me to tell the general that the Tang army from Hedong has begun to send troops, and the target should be Shangjun, so I specially sent General Yi to ask the general if he has any countermeasures!"
