Lord of the House

In the hall, Luo Xiancheng fell dead in a pool of blood, and the soldiers all exited the corridor. Stop, the yard can not see the situation in the depths of the big house, nor can I hear the conversations in the house - Chen Jingrong's voiceless question, only falls into Zhong Rong, Huo Tong, Luo Jian, Wang Xian'er, Yin Xiangli, and becomes a prisoner under the order. In Tong Erdan's ears...

Tong Erdan laughed, the corners of his mouth still oozing blood, and his appearance looked terrifying. He said, "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be a smart person, and that's exactly what Prince Mu intended!"

Ren Shi Zhong Rong, Huo Tong, Luo Jian and others have also experienced **** storms in their lives. At this time, they were also frightened. Ye Ji Luorong sent Tong Erdan to assassinate Luo Xiancheng, just to make them surrender to Huaixi?

how is this possible?

Thinking about it carefully, the retreat has been cut off. Whether it is to drop Huaidong or Huaixi, isn't the biggest obstacle to Luo Xian costing himself? Luo Xiancheng once proclaimed himself the king, and he attached Beiyan to give him the king of Xiangyang. No matter whether he surrendered to Huaidong or Huaixi, he could only survive at most. For a hero who once had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, he was probably the least likely to survive. The choice you want to make.

That's why the generals persuaded to surrender and stabbed Luo Xiancheng to death in anger, so that other generals did not dare to speak of surrender, for fear of angering Luo Xiancheng's nerves for no reason and causing death. But the idea of ​​surrender is not without circling in the hearts of everyone!

Zhong Rong, Huo Tong, Luo Jian, and Wang Xian'er looked at each other, although surrender was an option before them, but they did not believe that Ye Jiluorong would be kind enough to help them surrender to Huaixi!

"Nonsense!" Luo Jian smashed Tong Erdan with a punch. He and Luo Xiancheng were of the same clan. Since Luo Xiancheng had been selected to lead the most elite guards, apart from his own bravery and good fighting skills, what was more important was his loyalty to Luo Xiancheng. He was more reliable than Zhong Rong, Huo Tong, Wang Xian'er, etc. He did not object to the surrender of Huaixi, but when Tong Erdan stabbed Luo Xiancheng to death, he wanted to kill him with an iron mace on the spot, angrily rebuked, "King Luo will not die or surrender, we are in Lishan. There are still 60,000 soldiers and horses, even if the regiment is huddled in Lishan, it can still contain the main force of the Huaidong Army entering the hinterland of Jingxiang. Do you have any advantage in fleeing north?"

Tong Erdan punched Luo Jian to the point of staggering, barely clinging to the pillar not to fall, panting heavily, looking at Chen Jingrong, and said, "I have to ask Mr. Chen, Huaixi will take Xinyang and the east of Xinyang on the 20th. All the troops and horses have been pressed to the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain, can you intentionally condone the king of Ruzhou to help Nanyang?"

Luo Jian was still in a rage, Zhong Rong, who was not very sentimental about Luo Xiancheng's death, glanced at Huo Tong: Although their strategy was far less than that of first-class wise men such as Shewenzhuang and Hu Zongguo, they were not as good as those of Chen Jingrong and other strategists. , the response is relatively slow, but they have been **** and **** over the years, and their knowledge is also very good...

Although they had 60,000 soldiers and horses in Lishan, they had already become frightened. What's more, Dong Yuan had already led 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers and horses to come from the north, which actually made them very limited in containing the main force of the Huaidong Army entering the hinterland of Jingxiang.

If, as Tong Erdan said, Chen Zhihu's going to Nanyang was intentionally condoned by Huaixi, but Huaixi was unruly towards Huaidong, presumably Huaidong should also know this well, once they lead the mountains and horses to surrender to Huaixi, they will be punished. It means that in addition to 50,000 or 60,000 troops, Huaixi will also control the passage from the northern Huaishan Mountains to the hinterland of Jingxiang—Huaixi Dongyuan's ambition is the biggest for the main force of the Huaidong Army entering the hinterland of Jingxiang. Containment will really help Beiyan's troops and horses on the west bank of the Han River to withdraw to the north.

In this way, Ye Ji Luorong sent Tong Erdan to assassinate Luo Xiancheng can also be explained.

Chen Jingrong looked startled: Although it can be understood that Ye Jiluorong sent Tong Erdan to assassinate Luo Xiancheng, Huaidong's ambushes in Chaishan were all out, and they attacked Suizhou and Fancheng, and then defeated the troops and horses in eastern Hubei and Hanshui. Shouldn't the Beiyan generals on the west bank be in a panic? How can you come up with this conspiracy so neatly? Counting the time, Tong Erdan should set off from Jingzhou on the 22nd.

Who is it that Ye Ji Luorong offered a plan to send someone to assassinate Luo Xiancheng? Is it Minwang Shewenzhuang? Did Shewenzhuang escape from Huangpi on the 22nd, how is it possible? This plan is not offered by the luxury house, who is it?

Chen Jingrong prided himself on being resourceful and resourceful, but at this time he was also deeply sighed.

When the situation came to this point, Chen Jingrong looked at Zhong Rong, Huo Tong, Luo Jian, and Wang Xian'er, and said, "Henan recruiting envoy Dong Yuan, Dong Yuan, has long heard the names of General Zhong, General Huo, General Luo, and General Wang, and often sighs at each of them. For the master, we can’t pay each other, today King Luo passed away unfortunately, Chen Mou dared to invite four generals to serve Huaixi!”

Chen Jingrong's remarks undoubtedly confirmed Tong Erdan's words: Dong Yuan did intend to let Chen Zhihu enter Nanyang, otherwise, Chen Zhihu would not be able to enter the Nanyang Basin with delay, and called Xinye, Xichuan and other cities to be preempted by the troops and horses of Chaishan in Huaidong. Beiyan's troops and horses on the west bank of the Han River will be completely cut off when they retreat to the north...

When the true face of everything is exposed in front of Zhong Rong and others, they can truly understand what **** conspiracy is. In the face of Dong Yuan and others' plans, it is still not enough to see them killing people and taking over the mountains as kings.

The so-called "those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be called Hou".

Zhong Rong looked at Luo Jian and Huo Tong, and couldn't help holding the saber at his waist with his right hand: Wang Xian'er brought Chen Jingrong in, Wang Xian'er's attitude towards Huaixi should be clear, and he strongly advocated abandoning Huaidong, Rong Chen Hansan, Investing in Beiyan, and even quarreling with the king, presumably Huaidong also wants to get rid of him, and now he can only vote in Huaixi, but what will Luo Jian and Huo Tong choose?

Huo Tong noticed Zhong Rong's hand on the saber on his waist and the faint murderous aura on his body. If Zhong Rong wanted to surrender to Huaidong, he would not have fled north from the southern line with Wang Xian'er. His opponent, not to mention Wang Xian'er disappearing for a while and then entering, who knows if he has sent another troops, he sighed in his heart: Whether it is Huaidong or Huaixi, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, Huaidong has the victory of Jingxiang, and the power Will expand to the extreme, Huaixi is afraid that it will be difficult to match, but because of this, they will vote for Huaidong, most of them will immediately be relieved of military power, and at most survive. Although Huaixi is weak, it is precisely because of Huaixi's weakness that it is possible to pay attention to these generals...

Of course, apart from some of these, the most important and critical point cannot be ignored:

In the periphery of Lishan and the northern foot of Huaishan, Huaidong has less than 25,000 troops and horses in Suizhou and Xinyang, especially in Xinyang, a part of Fengli Army returned Huaixi troops and horses to wrap up in the center (Huo Tong is not It is clear that the Meng family in Xinyang has long been secretly attached to the matter of Huaidong); and Huaixi, under the personal leadership of Dong Yuan, has a total of more than 70,000 troops and horses from the 21st to the north of Huaishan; Dong Yuan Even more than 30,000 elites have been stationed in the southern border of Guangshan County from the 22nd, less than 90 miles away from Lishan.

If they surrender to Huaixi, Huaidong will not be able to help them temporarily; if they surrender to Huaidong, Dong Yuan will probably not give them a chance to surrender, so he will directly lead his troops south from Guangshan County to attack Lishan, and they will not either. There is a chance to gather another 30,000 soldiers and horses from the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain!

It was only at this time that Huo Tong came to understand: Dong Yuan transferred all the troops and horses in Xinyang and the east of Xinyang to the south from the 20th. In addition to making way for Chen Zhihu, the king of Ruzhou, he wanted to entangle them in Lishan and Xinyang. The soldiers and horses at the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain did not give them the opportunity to choose to surrender to Huaidong...

At least on the surface, Huaidong and Huaixi were both ministers of Dayue. Dong Yuan was Dayue's deputy privy envoy, Henan recruiting envoy, and Huaixi's general manager. that power. And they surrendered to Huaixi, and they were generals in Huaixi, and they will all be the generals of Dayue in the future. If Huaidong and Huaixi turn against each other in the future, it will be a future thing, and now they can only take care of the present.

After thinking about this, Huo Tong saluted Chen Jingrong and said, "Thanks to Huaixi not giving up, Huo Tong is willing to serve Huaixi!"

"To vote in Huaixi is to vote, to vote in Huaidong is to vote, but this thief will never stay!" Luo Jian took out his mace and was about to hit Tong Erdan.

"Wait," Zhong Rong grabbed Luo Jian's right hand and shouted, "Since everyone voted for Huaixi together, Tong Erdan should be handed over to Huaixi!"

Wang Xian'er and Huo Tong knew that Tong Erdan was released, and it was difficult to explain to the officers below, but Tong Erdan stabbed Luo Xiancheng to death to help them clear the obstacle to surrendering to Huaixi. They killed Tong Erdan at this time. Beiyan's kindness and retreat? Furthermore, Beiyan and Huaixi have so many tacit understandings on many things, and Huaixi may not want to kill Tong Erdan.

Huo Tong, Wang Xian'er, and Yin Xiangshang all looked at Chen Jingrong, and seeing that Chen Jingrong wanted to save Tong Erdan's life, they all persuaded Luo Jian: "The two assassins have been killed on the spot, and they must be left alive and handed over to Huaixi for disposal... "

Tong Erdan came to act as a dead man, and he was prepared to kill the enraged Suizhou generals if he succeeded or missed, but Hu Zongguo's words that he said that his trip was a near miss really came true.

Chen Jingrong didn't expect that this trip would be so smooth because of Tong Erdan's appearance. Luo Xiancheng was dead, and Zhong Rong, Luo Jian, Huo Tong, and Wang Xian'er surrendered, and they could instantly transform into Huaixi's combat power, at least in front of him. Come, it is far stronger than 40,000 or 50,000 defeated troops, and it can also weaken the threat to Huaixi after the Huaidong War, and it will completely suppress the different voices in Huaixi.

More importantly, Ye Ji Luorong sent someone to assassinate Luo Xiancheng, so that the Suizhou army would go to Huaixi and sit in Huaixi, with the intention of making peace with Huaixi.

Huaidong is strong and has a lot of territory, but the 300,000 soldiers and horses of Huaixi in the east must guard against Ye Jiduo in Shandong, and in the west, guard against the troops and horses of the Beiyan western line retreating into Guanzhong, and even retreating into The Cao family of the two rivers will also be on guard against Huaidong. In a short period of time, what threat can Huaidong pose to Huaixi, whose troops have suddenly increased to 160,000 or 70,000?

No matter how strong Huaidong is, can he still cope with the alliance between Huaixi, Beiyan and the Cao family? Isn't it the same to continue to forbear with Huaixi and the Cao family?

So Tong Erdan must not be killed.

Of course, Huaixi will not let Tong Erdan go. To release Tong Erdan, those ministers who advocate peace in the court should do so.

The livelihood of Huaixi in Shouzhou, Haozhou, and Sizhou has been greatly restored. Only the camps are as high as 1.5 million mu, and at least the military supplies are basically self-sufficient. The importance of manpower.

Huaixi initially relied on 50,000 soldiers to cultivate the fields, and later absorbed refugees into the cultivation system. Learning from Huaidong enabled the cultivation in Shouzhou and Haozhou to recover quickly in just three years, but after the Nanyang War, Dong Yuan had to transfer 50,000 soldiers to join the army, and the production of the camp fell sharply after the autumn due to the lack of labor.

Don't get the support of the entire Suizhou army, even for the 50,000-60,000-60,000 young and strong labor force and the families behind it, it is worth fighting for Huaixi.

A labor force of 50,000 to 60,000 young people means that another million mu of farmland can be cultivated.

At this time, there was no shortage of land and fields around Huaixi, but there was a shortage of people and young labor.

As long as Beiyan proposes peace, the imperial officials in the imperial court will definitely support it vigorously, and Huaixi can take advantage of the situation to get more time to recuperate, and who will die in the future is still unknown!

Thinking of this, Chen Jingrong couldn't help but burst into laughter. He admired the wise decision of the lord Dong Yuan more and more, and even seized the opportunity that could be lost, and gave Huaixi an infinite future...

****************

Chen Jingrong, Zhong Rong, Wang Xian'er, Huo Tong, and Luo suggested to decide the matter of surrender, that is, send someone to control other generals, especially those who may be inclined to Huaidong, and strictly control the news of Luo Xiancheng's assassination. The villages at the northern foot of Huaishan were secretly ordered to guard the future Lishan, and at the same time, Zhong Rong was elected as the guard of Lishan, and temporarily controlled the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Lishan on behalf of the generals. Seeing Dong Yuan, he expressed his intention to surrender, and asked Dong Yuan to send troops from Guangshan, immediately enter Lishan, and control the northern vein of Huaishan.

In the Huaishan Mountains, it was raining endlessly, and the road was narrow and dangerous. Chen Jingrong could only follow Luo Jian, Wang Xian'er, and Huo Tong on horseback riding northward. The road was bumpy in the middle of the night, and Tong Erdan was tied to the horse's back. On the 25th Enter Dong Yuan's camp in the southern border of Guangshan County before noon.

Speaking of the 60,000 troops of the Suizhou army, Chen Jingrong was also extra proud. He thought that there are only a handful of people with such achievements as him in ancient and modern times. He thought that this pen would be famous in the history of history, and that he would be in Huaixi from now on. Pressing Liu Tingzhou and Ding Zhiru on his body, how could Chen Jingrong not try to restrain himself so that he would not laugh like incontinence?

Chen Jingrong placed Luo Jian, Wang Xian'er, Huo Tong and Tong Erdan in the front camp. He strode to Dong Yuan's tent to see Dong Yuan, and opened the big curtain to enter.

Seeing that Dong Yuan, Liu Tingzhou and the generals were all there, Chen Jingrong laughed: "Dong Shuai, great joy, great joy! Jing Rong is going to report the great joy to Dong Shuai!"

"There is no reason to make a noise, Chen Jingrong, what do you think of our military discipline!" Dong Yuan scolded Chen Jingrong, who broke in and announced the good news without notice.

Rebuking Dong Yuan head-on, Chen Jingrong slapped him with a sap and stood there: Dong Yuan sent him to sneak into Lishan to persuade him, and he came to Guangshan to announce the good news. Could it be that Dong Yuan couldn't guess that Lishan and Suizhou had all surrendered? Compared to the great joy that Li Shan's 60,000 Suizhou troops all surrendered, his small fault in breaking into the big tent was considered a fart?

"Jingrong, sit down." Liu Tingzhou also asked Chen Jingrong to sit down with a livid face, but his temper was better than Dong Yuan's. When Chen Jingrong sat down, he told him, "Meng Yan and Meng Zhixiang voted for Huaidong early and led Xinyang last night. The defenders left Xinyang with Ning Zechen..."

"Ah!" When Chen Jingrong heard the news, he seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he jumped up, as if the chair was a peg board full of fangs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ bit him so much that he trembled, and he stumbled without stopping, toppled to the ground...

The Meng family and Shouzhou had a disagreement, and Chen Jingrong and Dong Yuan had long understood, but thinking that Xinyang was still under the rule of Huaixi, they did not think that the Meng family might simply and completely fall to Huaidong. Watch from the wall.

It doesn't matter if the Meng family goes to Huaidong. After all, in the defending army of Xinyang City with a total strength of nearly 9,000 people, many generals are close followers of Dong Yuan'an. The first town division, Wei Bao, the Xinyang garrison suddenly left Xinyang last night, and Dong Yuan's cronies in the Xinyang garrison didn't even reach out to this side. It can be said that Ning Zechen led the Fengli army and the Meng family to coerce the Xinyang guard. The army's departure from Xinyang was something that Huaidong had planned and calculated for a long time!

Maybe Dong Yuan's trusted generals in the Xinyang garrison have already been purged. That's a total of 25,000 people, and the armored elites accounted for 60% of the powerful troops, so they suddenly left Xinyang!

Chen Jingrong fell to the ground, with his hands on the ground, a place name flashed in his mind, and he nearly spit out blood: "Lin Fu here is so vicious!" Seeing Dong Yuan and Liu Tingzhou's ashen faces, they must have understood Huaidong long ago. With trembling hands and feet, he asked, "Is it too late?"

Liu Tingzhou wanted to cry but had no tears, shook his head and said: "Huaidong is in the name of exporting grain to the west, and on the 20th, it was in Xinyang to prepare a ship that was enough to hold 30,000 soldiers and horses. We only got the news, and it has been delayed overnight; Dongzai is secretly under the post in the north, and we may not send fast horses to communicate as quickly as they march..."

Chen Jingrong felt a biting chill in his heart, and only felt that his strength was taken away at this moment: I never thought that the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Suizhou army in the north of Huaishan were actually the bait that Huaidong deliberately released, waiting for them to bite the bait and take the bait.
