Chapter 182: Caozhou, Jizhou, two-way deployment
"Wen Zhong's old man is too bullying!"
In Fei Zhong's mansion, which had just been promoted to senior doctor not long ago, a angrily scolding came from the study.
When the servants nearby heard the call, the target of Wen Taishi, the number one person in the court today, they couldn't help but change their color and hurriedly walked away, fearing that they would hear something that they shouldn't have heard and would get angry.
In the study, Chonghouhu was full of anger, Fei Zhong's face was as deep as water, You Zhuo's face looked bitter, and the three of them sat opposite each other, and three edicts were placed on the table in the middle.
The marshal and the military supervisor are in charge of the power of life and death, and are of great power, but the three people who were appointed have no joy at all. All they can feel is the heaviness of pressure and the fear of facing a huge threat.
"The matter is irreversible, and it is useless to say these harsh words." Fei Zhong reached out and picked up the edict, "For the sake of this, we can only find a way to fight this battle. If we win, we will be promoted and promoted together; if we lose, don't talk about whether we can escape on the battlefield. Then Wen Zhong, who stared at us with three eyes, will definitely kill people on the charge of "destroying his troops and insulting the country"!"
Chonghouhu's expression turned from anger to fear: "Brother Fei isn't he just joking? When we face Li Jing, how can we have a half chance of winning? Wouldn't it mean that everyone is dead?"
"Not necessarily," Fei Zhong shook his head slowly, "Wen Zhong's old man said something right. Li Jing only occupied a corner of the land after all, and his manpower and financial resources were limited after all. If we have troops that have an absolute advantage in quantity, no matter what military strategy, just use strength to defeat cleverness, no matter how powerful Li Jing is, he will be unable to cook without rice."
"Brother Fei is very good. It makes sense to say this." You Zhuo has always followed Fei Zhongma's lead. He first used to praise him in a habitual manner when he heard this. Then he said distressedly, "It's a pity that Wen Zhong was an excuse that the army of the Northern Expedition had become an exhausted army and refused to hand it over to me. Now we can only count on Brother Chong, you are from the north. Brother Chong, please give me a solid foundation to your brother. How many people do you have in your hands now, how much military equipment, and how powerful are you in combat?"
Chonghouhu looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Because I am accompanying you in Chaoge. I spend a lot of money on weekdays, Chongcheng has cut off many people. Now there are less than 100,000 people, and the military equipment has not been replaced for many years. As for combat power..."
"You..." Fei Zhong and You Zhuo were so angry that they jumped up from their seats, pointing at Chonghouhu's nose and trying to curse, but then they thought that half of the "expense" he said was naturally used to please King Zhou, while the other half almost entered their own pockets. At this time, it was a bit unreasonable to blame him for this, and finally he lowered his anger and sat down.
Fei Zhong calmed down his anger and asked again: "As the leader of the northern princes, all the four hundred princes in the towns are under your command. Since the direct subordinates are not worth much, how about the orders to recruit troops from various towns?"
Chonghouhu's face became even more embarrassed, and he said after a while: "After I inherited the position of Beibo Marquis, the princes of each town were never very respectful, so the Yuan Lang rebellion was originally there. Later, in order to prevent the old incident from happening again, I ordered the princes of each town to cut down their troops, and all violators were punished for their misconduct."
"I can't get it!" Fei Zhong and You Zhuo discovered for the first time that Chonghouhu, who seemed smart and clever, was so stupid. They didn't want to use differentiation and disintegration, bribery and win over the princes to subdue the princes, but just rely on their power to suppress them. No wonder when Yuan Futong planned to rebel again, the princes in the north gathered to respond, and their momentum was even better than his father Yuan Lang.
Chonghouhu knew that he had done this matter so he had to admit his mistake honestly and asked Fei Zhong for advice: "Brother Fei, you have always been resourceful, and I hope you must think of a perfect solution."
Fei Zhong was silent for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "You should have two strong soldiers in the north. If you can mobilize them, you will have at least 200,000 troops. If you put some of your Chongcheng and other princes together, you can get 150,000 troops. With this 350,000 troops, it should be enough to deal with Li Jing."
Chonghou Hu and You Zhuo were energetic and asked hurriedly: "What are the two men?"
Fei Zhong stretched out two fingers and reported two people: "Jizhou Hou Suhu, Caozhou Hou Chong Heihu."
Chonghouhu was happy at first, then said with some disappointment: "Brother Fei, Chong Heihu and I are my fellow-mistresses. Although he looked down on me as a brother in the past, he would definitely not sit idly by such a major matter that is related to life and death. But Su Hu and my younger brother, especially you two, have always been incompatible with you. He is now the honor of the father-in-law, and I have no right to recruit him, so I am afraid I can't count on it."
Fei Zhong was confident and waved his hand and smiled, "Brother Chong, why did you forget? Su Hu was not incompatible with us, but he had even more resentment with Li Jing. At that time, he wrote a poem to rebel because he did not want to offer his daughter to the palace. His Majesty used the foolish brother's plan to send Li Jing to attack Su Hu, hoping to make him fight against him. Li Jing surrendered to Su Hu in one battle, and forced him to send his daughter to forgive him. Although Su Hu had not expressed it, would he be completely resentful to Li Jing? Besides, Su Hu was as fierce as fire. We only need to send an eloquent person as an envoy to provoke his old grudges against Li Jing with words, and guarantee that he would lead his troops!"
"Brother Fei is a talented person, I am far from the same level!" Chonghou Hu and You Zhuo applauded and cheered.
Without further ado, Chong Houhu immediately drafted two letters, asking Fei Zhong to polish them and copy them and seal them. Then he chose two confidants as messengers. It was just a person who had been following Chong Houhu for many years. The person who escorted Su was the one who was the most adaptable and clever man selected by Fei Zhong from his mansion. Fei Zhong was not relieved, and after giving advice in person, he sent him to Jizhou overnight to issue a letter.
Just talking about the messenger to Jizhou, because his master ordered and rewarded him, he rushed to Jizhou without stopping, day and night.
He came to the gate of the marquis' mansion and dismounted, and after he came forward to report his identity, the gatekeeper turned around and reported it, and soon came back to say that the marquis had summoned him.
The envoy followed the mansion and saw the Jizhou Hou Suhu sitting on a tiger-skin chair in Yin'an Hall. A young master Su Quanzhong stood with a sword beside him. He hurried forward and bowed, saying, "God of the Marquis!"
Su Hu had no joy and anger on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that you are from Doctor Fei Zhong's mansion, but this time it was the Lord of Beibo who came to write a book. What's going on?"
After worshiping again, the envoy replied: "All the reasons are all written by the Marquis of Beibo. After reading the letter, the Marquis naturally understood it."
Su Hu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, present the letter."
The messenger took out the letter and raised it over the top. Su Quanzhong came over and took it, and turned around and presented it to his father.
After receiving the letter, Su Hu showed the paper to watch it. The color on his face finally changed slightly. He read it several times, lowered his head and pondered for a while, suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table hard, shouting: "The traitor is so bold!"
