Chapter 163: A pot of messy porridge

The first thing Yang Quanqi did after returning to Yongzhou was to reorganize the army and prepare for war. At the same time, he sent secret envoys to Qingzhou to express his attitude to Wang Gong. From now on, Yongzhou will advance and retreat with Qingzhou!

At the same time, Sun Wuzhong also returned to Jingkou and informed Xie Xuan of the results of the negotiations between Wei Jie and Yang Quanqi. While affirming the attitude of Wei Jie, Xie Xuan realized that Yang Quanqi should have made great moves soon. He immediately issued a military order and rushed to Xuzhou to help the Yongzhou direction. He confronted Yang Quanqi!

Liu Laozhi, the Qingzhou-Yanzhou side, didn't care about it at all. His fortune was Yang Quanqi. As long as he defeated the Yongzhou army and even captured Yang Quanqi alive, his reputation in the Northern Palace soldiers would be at its peak and reach a new height.

Yang Quanqi is the second most powerful general in the Jin Dynasty after Xie Xuan and Huan Xuan!

Sun Wuzhong did not travel with Liu Laozhi. After bringing the news back to Jingkou, he rushed back to Xuzhou. Although the troops in Qingzhou and Yanzhou were not worth worrying, the Weijie was a novice after all. Be careful of sailing the ten thousand-year-old ship, which is what Xie Xuan meant!

Liu Laozhi did not enter Xuzhou, but directly led the army to the military fortress built by the Xuzhou garrison in the direction of Yongzhou, and was ready to fight against the Yongzhou army at any time. The guards rushed over as soon as possible.

"Liu Zongjun, Yang Quanqi of Yongzhou Army will be handed over to you. I believe that our generals will not let the court down, let Xuanshou disappoint him!" Wei Jie looked at Liu Laozhi, who was dressed in military uniform and looked excited, and said with a smile.

Liu Laozhi and Xie Xuan are different. The two have different perspectives on the problem. Regarding Wei Jie's attitude when interviewing Yang Quanqi, Xie Xuan only believes that Wei Jie is adhering to principles and sticking to the bottom line to avoid unwarranted losses to the court's interests.

Liu Laozhi was determined to make meritorious contributions. In addition, before Wei Jie set out from Jingkou, he had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned in front of him that Yang Quanqi might continue to cooperate with Wang Gong to send troops. He naturally thought that this was Wei Jie's opportunity to make meritorious contributions for him, and he was full of gratitude for Wei Jie.

While Liu Laozhi was grateful to Wei Jie, he also felt that Wei Jie's plan was reasonable. After all, Liu Laozhi and his subordinates were all the Wei family army. After Liu Laozhi got along well, Wei Jie would have a strong backing. Who is not selfish? He is not considering his own interests?

"Don't worry, the second young master, although Yang Quanqi is famous, he still doesn't keep it in Zizhi's heart. If he doesn't come, he must let him know that there are more than Xuan Shuai and Huan Xuan!"

It is not difficult to see that Liu Laozhi is very confident about his military talents, but he is not a vain man. In Wei Jie's opinion, Liu Laozhi's confidence is inevitably a bit arrogant. However, this is exactly the characteristic of Liu Laozhi, and Wei Jie does not point it out. Liu Laozhi does have real materials. It is unknown who will win the battle between the two.

The best result is that the two of them are in a stalemate and drag the battle into a deadlock. The longer the time is, the greater the chance of Sun En and Sun Tai's uncle and nephew launching a war.

"Then I wish the military a victory. When the military is in hand, the imperial court's rewards and promotion will be just around the corner!"

Wei Jie came over to see Liu Laozhi, not only to follow the situation, but also to understand Liu Laozhi's mentality, but also to give him a psychological hint. Wei Jie always stood on the same front with Liu Laozhi.

The purpose of the Weijie was to stalemate the two armies and lead Sun En to Sun Tai out. A few days later, Yang Quanqi was indeed dispatched in full swing. Tens of thousands of Yongzhou soldiers came straight to Xuzhou, but they were hit by Liu Laozhi a hundred miles west of Xuzhou.

Liu Laozhi was not famous at that time. In addition to the limited number of people including Xie Xuanweijie, there was probably a little understanding of his abilities among many forces other than the Northern Palace soldiers. Yang Quanqi underestimated the enemy for a while, and the two armies fought for the first time, and Liu Laozhi won a complete victory.

The Yongzhou Army had twice the strength of Liu Lao's troops, but was blocked by Liu Laozhi to the west of the fortress, making it difficult to survive. After all, Yang Quanqi was a famous general who had been through the battlefield for a long time. After the first defeat, he quickly adjusted his mentality. In the following period, the two armies won each other and fell into a stalemate.

Yang Quanqi wanted to enter Xuzhou City, while Liu Laozhi wanted to completely annihilate the Yongzhou army and capture Yang Quanqi alive. The purpose of both of them could not achieve for a while.

In Xuzhou, the Weijie only symbolically attacked Qingzhou City several times, and the rest of the time they were just acting in a deterrent posture and were waiting and watching.

The explanation he gave was that Liu Laozhi and Yang Quanqi were the main battlefield. As long as Liu Laozhi dealt with Yang Quanqi, Qingyan and Yanzhou would be defeated without attacking each other. Now the strong attack would only cause unnecessary casualties, and the Weijie's plan was also recognized by Xie Xuan.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, and the weather gradually became colder. As the New Year was about to come, Liu Laozhi and Yang Quanqi were still in a stalemate, and neither of them could expand the results. In the Bohai side, Sun Tai and Sun En's uncle and nephew finally took action.

In the winter of the fourth year of Taiyuan, Tianshidao, led by Sun Tai and Sun En, gathered thousands of people to land in Jiakou and conquered Shangyu. Just a few days later, Tianshidao attacked Kuaiji and captured the inner historian Wang Ningzhi.

Wang Ningzhi was not only a son of the Wang family in Wuyi Lane, but also Xie An's niece and son-in-law, Xie Daoyun's husband. When Kuaiji City was broken, he was captured and killed with Wang Ningzhi, and there were also a group of children of the Xie family. Xie Daoyun and Sun En were beheaded and released without beheading him and sent back to Jiankang City.

After Sun Tai occupied Kuaiji, he appointed himself as the General of the East, Kuaiji, Wujun, Wuxing, Yixing, Linhai, Yongjia, Dongyang and Xin'an, the people responded one after another. In just tens of days, the rebel army grew to tens of thousands. For a time, Jiankang City fell into panic, and everyone in the court was in danger.

At that time, the troops of the Northern Mansion Army were still west of Xuzhou and were restrained by the Yongzhou army of Yang Quanqi. In order to appease the hearts of the Jiankang people, Xie An ordered Xie Xuan to lead He Qian's troops to Kuaiji to quell the rebellion!

At the same time, the governor of Jingzhou Yin Zhongkan raised troops to correspond with Wang Gong, and the Huan family in Jiangling was out of the matter and ignored it. Huan Xuan, Duke of Nanjun, even presented Jiankang, Nanjun was adjacent to Jingzhou, and the situation was critical, so the court asked the court to send troops to support him.

The development of the situation has far exceeded the expectations of the Wei rank at the beginning, and it is very uncontrollable.

Liu Laozhi was restrained by Yang Quanqi and could not return to Jingkou. Weijie, Sun Wuzhong, Yuan Zhan, Wang Hong and others rushed back to Jingkou to attend the emergency military meeting held by Xie Xuan himself.

What made Wei Jie uneasy was that Xie An actually arrived in Jingkou, and there was Xie Daoyuan who escaped from Kuaiji County with him!
