Fu Song

Chapter 551 Allocation
Jiang Zhihe accepted Xiao Cheng's cheerful congratulations with a little embarrassment.

Jiang Xiong defeated Liu Zheng on the Han River. This was a powerful navy that the Liao army had managed to obtain in the south. He originally wanted to use this navy to control the entire Han River and spy on the Yangtze River basin.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, and the Wujiang navy came all the way, and defeated the Hanjiang navy in World War I. Although Liu Zheng still has more than a hundred ships, his main force has been exhausted, and he has to be reorganized. Zero, hiding everywhere.

To Jiang Zhihe's embarrassment, Jiang Xiong was just a concubine from the Jiang family, and he was also the gangster who was released to raise his own self-respect.

But I don't know where this guy made Xiao Cheng see the right thing. At that time, Xiao Erlang spent a lot of money to buy Jiang Xiong from him.

Ten years later, Jiang Xiong came back again, but it left all the Jiang family's children in the dark.

Liu Zheng ran rampant on the Han River, and Lu Wenhuan sent people countless times to beg Jiang Zhihe for rescue, but the Jinghu navy controlled by the Jiang family was timid and did not dare to confront Liu Zhengfang.

In addition, at that time, Daliao was in full swing and had the potential to sweep the world. Jiang Zhihe also received the letter of persuasion from the Liao Kingdom, but when he was still hesitating, Xiao Cheng had already arrived, and he brought him with him. Tens of thousands of troops came from the land and water armies.

More importantly, at this time, Yelujun, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, died unexpectedly.

This made Jiang Zhihe's mind, which was still a little vacillating, straighten up at once.

At the critical moment, when the family members actually died, it was because God did not allow them to compete for all their merits!

It seems that God has no intention of abandoning Da Song.

Jiang Zhihe believes in the sky, and he also believes in destiny.

So his position suddenly became firm.

Immediately afterwards, he knew of Liu An's existence.

After examining Liu An's jade plate and Concubine Jing's suicide note, Jiang Zhihe confirmed Liu An's identity.

This made him believe even more that Zhao Song's life should not die.

That being the case, of course he will come to be the important minister of Fugu.

If he had disliked Jiang Xiong earlier, now Jiang Xiong is simply his lucky star.

Jiang Zhihe is not that kind of pedantic guy, how can a guy who can do tricks like raising bandits' self-respect not know the severity!

In peacetime, scholars are of course more valued, and the imperial court will definitely help literati to suppress military generals, lest the military generals have any wrong ideas.

But in the era of war, the status of generals will inevitably become higher and higher, which is independent of human will.

Because of the turmoil, it is definitely unrealistic to convince people with virtue. If you want people to be convinced, you must first rely on your fists.

So Jiang Xiong has now become his biggest reliance.

Jiang Zhihe was not afraid that Jiang Xiong could fly into the sky.

Is your surname still Jiang?
Even if you want to deny your ancestors, your parents and I will not agree.

And no matter how you clear it up, in the eyes of outsiders, your surname is still Jiang.

That's enough.

Of course, since Jiang Xiong is to be regarded as the biggest reliance, then something has to be paid.

But Jiang Zhihe didn't want to just give up the position of patriarch of the Jiang family, even if he was gone, he didn't want to give it to Jiang Xiong.The position of patriarch must be taken over by his own son.

But for his son to be able to compete with Jiang Xiong, he must occupy a place in the future court, at least he must be appreciated by Xiao Cheng.

This is an obvious truth.

Xiao Cheng will definitely control the power of the future court. As long as his son can hold Xiao Cheng's thigh firmly, he will be able to sit firmly as the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, and if he is firmly established as the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, he will be able to rise above the righteousness. Pick out Jiang Xiong, in this way, the direct line of the Jiang family will not be moved aside, nor will it be defeated.

"Although Jiang Xiong has little merit, it is still due to Xiao Futai's many years of strategizing. He just happened to meet him." Jiang Zhihe said humbly.

Xiao Cheng laughed out loud, with a look of complacency: "Jiang Futai, now that Liu is defeated but not dead, he is a veteran in the water, and the Han River is his old lair that he has been running for many years. Although Jiang Xiong won, the thief Liu It's not easy to fight with each other. If you don't die if you beat a snake, you will be backlashed, so next, we must increase our troops and ships to help the Han River. We must press the Liu thief to death and never turn over! "

"That's right!" Jiang Zhihe said righteously and solemnly: "Since the Jinghu Road Navy returned a few days ago, it has been on standby and ready to go at any time, and Jinghu Road has also prepared hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass. , can be shipped to Xiangyang at any time, so as to help our army firmly guard this gateway."

"Jiang Futai is really brilliant!" Xiao Cheng clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Xiangyang guards the gate of our Han River, so there must be no loss. It's just that Jiangfutai, the Jinghu navy went to Xiangyang, and merged with Jiangxiong's navy For one thing, it is better to unify the issue of the command authority, and the different authority will easily breed troubles, don't you think?"

Jiang Zhihe knew it well: "Naturally, Jiang Xiong is the main one. However, Xiao Futai, the navy's logistics supply and other matters, Jiang feels that he still needs to entrust another safe person!"

"Extremely, extremely." Xiao Cheng smiled: "The last time I saw Brother Guangping, he was calm and careful. If Jiang Futai can let Brother Guangping out to work, I think this job must belong to him."

Jiang Yuan Jiang Guangping is the eldest son of Jiang Zhihe.

"It's a dog's honor to be valued by Futai." Jiang Zhihe was overjoyed, he didn't need to beat the drum heavily, Xiao Cheng was indeed a discerning person.In this way, no matter how powerful Jiang Xiong is, once all logistics and military supplies are in Jiang Yuan's hands, Jiang Yuan will be able to fight against him.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan can use this to make friends with powerful generals such as Lu Wenhuan and Fan Wenshun, just like Lu Wenhuan, who talked with Xiao Cheng earlier, and Xiao Cheng revealed that he wanted to hand over the entire Southwest Beijing Road to Lu Wenhuan.

Although the vast majority of Jingxian Road is currently occupied by the puppet Zhao, as long as Lu Wenhuan knocks down a piece, it will belong to him. This person will definitely be reused in the next new dynasty.

Jiang Zhihe was satisfied, and so was Xiao Cheng.

It is impossible for Jiang Zhihe to pull Jiang Xiong back, but he wants to take advantage of Jiang Xiong's influence, Xiao Cheng has no choice but Jiang Xiong also has nothing to do, Jiang Xiong really wants to turn his face, but he will suffer from the evil of the world.

Who made him surnamed Jiang, and he was really a member of the Jiang clan!

Reusing Jiang Yuan Jiang Guangping, Xiao Cheng can't be regarded as a private hand.

After all, Jinghu Road has always been controlled by the Jiang family. Such a wealthy family has taken root in this land for hundreds of years, and the intertwined relationship often makes you dumbfounded.If you want Jinghu Road to spare no effort to support Xiangfan in the next battle, then you must reuse Jiangyuan.

Looking at Nanyang according to Xiangyang, once Nanyang can be captured, it will be of great benefit to the future Northern Expedition.

The two of them can be regarded as what they deserve!
"Jiang Futai, please sit down for a while. Luo Gang, Cen Zhong, Chen Qun, and Hu Yi are all coming over later. There are still some things that we need to come up with together!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

Xiao Cheng recruited ministers from all walks of life in the south to come to Jinghu Road to join the alliance. Luo Gang from Yunnan Road, Cen Zhong from Guangnan West Road, and Chen Qun from Kuizhou Road were naturally the first to arrive. They were also Xiao Cheng's. The core of the iron core, now, Jiang Zhihe can barely be regarded as one.

"its about?"

"I also heard about coming to Futai. It's about Xuzhou!" Xiao Cheng said.

Of course Jiang Zhihe knew the significance of Xuzhou to the whole south.

Like Xiangyang, Xuzhou is also the gateway to the whole south.

Xiangyang also has a geographical advantage. With a city in hand, it can block thousands of troops.

Xuzhou is not just a city, it is related to the entire Huaihe River Basin!
To guard the river must guard the Huai River, and to guard the Huai River must control Xuzhou.

The key is that we know it, and the enemy knows it too!

Now it is conceivable that Liu Yu, who lost Xuzhou, must counterattack like a lunatic.

As for Xie Hong, the prefect of Suzhou, and Liu Jun, the prefect of Bozhou, even if they were prepared, they only had the power of the two prefectures, and their strength was limited after all.

According to the envoys sent by the two for help, Cheng Shao, the envoy of Huainan West Road, did not respond to their occupation of Xuzhou.

"I heard that Cheng Shao is already on his way to Jiangling Mansion." Xiao Cheng said helplessly to everyone in the hall, "This man is really funny, he can't even tell which is more important. It is important to come to Jiangling Mansion to support His Majesty, but if compared with Xuzhou, it is nothing worth mentioning!"

"Chongwen, in some people's eyes, the achievement of support is probably far more important than a single Xuzhou!" Luo Gang sneered, "So what if we lose Xuzhou? And from the letters from Xie Hong and Liu Jun Look, it is the idea of ​​these two people to seize Xuzhou, I am afraid that Cheng Shao is still complaining that these two people are causing trouble for nothing!"

"Incompetent!" Cen Zhong said coldly: "Since this person has come, I mean, there is no need to go back. Anyway, when the imperial court is newly established, there will be vacancies everywhere. Seeing that he is so active in going to Jiangling For the sake of the government coming to support him, give him a place to enjoy the happiness!"

"That's an idea!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "I'm afraid that other roads can't be expected for a while, and I'm afraid they are unwilling to use their own capital to rescue Xuzhou, and I'm even more worried about them. Apparently agreeing, but secretly procrastinating, this will only make things worse."

"So we can only send troops by ourselves!" Luo Gang waved his fist and said, "Besides, I really don't feel at ease if a key place like Xuzhou is not in our own hands. Chongwen, then Xie Hong and Liu Jun directly sent the envoy It’s too obvious that it’s sent to you to serve. And this gift is so big that you have to accept it, and you have to accept his favor!”

"That's right!" Xiao Cheng nodded and said, "I invite you to come here today, one is to discuss who to send? This person is going to coordinate the Huaihai War. First of all, he must be able to suppress Xie Hong and Liu Jun in terms of identity. Okay. Second, this time, we must go by water, which is so much faster. From the Yangtze River to Hangou and then to the Huaihe River, there are many places to cross on this road. How can we avoid conflicts with places? At the same time, it is also a big problem to get supplements from the local area so that we can arrive in time. Xiao Anke has not yet ascended the throne, and we have not ordered the titles of the states and counties along the way. If people don’t let us pass, we can still call?"

Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, everyone turned their gazes to Hu Yi.

This man is also a miserable person.

Ever since Xiao Cheng decided to help the king, this man has been running around on the road non-stop, using his reputation to pave the way and build bridges for Xiao Cheng.

Seeing that everyone was holding to him, Hu Yi did not refuse. He stood up immediately and said: "Please also write a letter in your majesty's hand and stamp it with a small seal. Hu Mou took this letter and searched for it along the way. It’s fine to send troops to rescue them, if they still dare to make things difficult, Hu Mou is willing to give up his life, and he will scold them forever.”

Everyone is Yuaner.

Hu Yi's cursing skill is very good, that is to say, Xiao Cheng, an outlier, can bear it, but others really can't stand him.

"Chongwen, which general do you like to lead the army?" Luo Gang said: "Yang Wanfu must not be able to move. It is really hard to find other leaders who can stand alone."

"How about Wei Wu?" Cen Zhong asked suddenly.

Wei Wu was Xiao Cheng's former family general, and he followed Cen Zhong to Guangnan West Road, but now it is another general who actually holds the military power on Guangnan West Road, Wei Wu is gradually Marginalization is also something that can be imagined.

This time when Cen Zhong came out, he specially brought Wei Wu with him. The intention was obvious, to let Wei Wu take this opportunity to make new achievements, and then he could become independent.

"Wei Wu's skill in coordinating such a big situation is probably a little bit worse!" Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "I have a candidate."

When Luo Gang saw Xiao Cheng's gaze on him, he was slightly taken aback. Of course he knew that the person Xiao Cheng was talking about would definitely not be him, and he understood after a while: "You mean Gao Yingxiang?"

Xiao Cheng nodded and said: "This man has a long history of education and experience in leading an army. More importantly, he has a good view of the overall situation. The Huaihe River Basin is of great importance, and we need such a person."

"If you send Gao Yingxiang, then it's better to use Wei Wu as deputy." Luo Gang pondered: "Three thousand soldiers can be dispatched from Yunnan Road, [-] soldiers can be sent from Guangnan West Road, and [-] soldiers can be sent from Guizhou Road. The local soldiers and horses in the two routes of Shanghuainan are not bad. Anyway, once Xiaoan ascended the throne and established the imperial court, a series of adjustments can be made to the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and many things can be straightened out. "

"What do you think?" Xiao Cheng looked at everyone.

"Jinghu Road can also send [-] troops!" Jiang Zhihe also offered to send troops after he was unwilling to let others go.

"The focus of Jinghu Road is still to support Xiangfan, but this time, we still have to trouble Jiang Futai to collect enough ships to send us and other troops to help Xuzhou quickly." Xiao Cheng laughed.

"Naturally, there is no problem with this. Jinghu Road, among other things, has many boats and sailors."

"There is also a lot of rice!" Luo Gang joked: "This time I came to Jinghu, and I realized that our side is really poor!"
