Lord of the House

The city is full of snow and snow, this is the first snow in this winter. The snow falls and people and animals trample on it, making the city of Xuzhou muddy.

Xuzhou City has a history of thousands of years. It is located at the key point of Huaisi, the traffic hub between the north and the south, and the place of the kings and vassals.

As soon as the north-south waterway was cut off, the commerce and trade of Xuzhou fell a lot, but it was the Huaisi War that really caused Xuzhou to suffer a serious setback.

Although during the Huaisi War, Xuzhou City had never been breached by the refugee army, nor had it been plundered, but during the more than half a year of Yue Lengqiu's defense of Xuzhou, countless houses in the city were demolished, and bricks and stones were transported to the city head. Resisting the refugee army's attack on the city, and then the refugee army flooded the city with water. More than half of Xuzhou was submerged in flood water for half a year, causing epidemics in the city and countless houses collapsed.

After the war, the imperial court took precautions against Chen Hansan, who was guarding Xuzhou, and the supply of money and food was extremely strict. In order to supply 20,000 troops, Chen Hansan did his best to search the local area. Since then, the city of Xuzhou has become more and more dilapidated. There was no chance of recovery.

Even Nuoda's palace of the King of Chu was in a state of dilapidation. The vermilion door was dimly lit by the wind lantern, and a few pieces of vermilion lacquer were peeling off, which seemed to witness the decline of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Yubo took off the hood, and did not care about shaking off the snow, and handed it over to the squire beside him with the horse. He raised his head and glanced at the forehead on the archway of the palace, ignoring the secret whistle of the few probes on the left and right to monitor the palace. , walked up the steps to the eaves of the majestic and majestic house, and buckled the heavy copper ring.

The small door opened, and the gatekeeper saw Zhang Yubo from the prefect, he didn't say much, and let Zhang Yubo and his entourage enter the side door.

Due to the horse service case, the Chu palace and Huaidong had a grudge. Zhang Yubo and Huaidong were from the Dongyang clan. The relationship between Chu Wang Yuanhancheng and Zhang Yubo was also very bad at the beginning, but after Lin Gu broke up, Zhang Yubo was regarded as Gu Wuchen's clan. Official, Yuan Hancheng looked a little better when he saw him.

Now that Qingzhou has collapsed, and the remnants have returned to Huaidong, Lin Gu's breakup has naturally become a cloud of the past - it's just that the situation in Xuzhou was tense at this time, so that people could not guess what Chen Hansan was thinking, and Chu Wang Yuanhancheng didn't care for a while. The old grievances are brought up again - in the city of Xuzhou, if Yuan Hancheng wants to have a person to discuss matters, who else can be except Zhang Yubo?

Yuan Hancheng, the king of Chu, hadn't fallen asleep when he heard that Zhang Yubo was visiting, put on a cold coat, and went to the side hall to see him.

"It is rumored that Lin Huaidong went to Huaiyang, but is this true?" Yuan Hancheng asked.

Chen Hansan's motives were unstable and he didn't want to be the turtle in the urn anymore. Yuan Hancheng could only see Lin Fu as a life-saving straw, and he couldn't care about the revenge of killing his son-in-law.

"The news is true. There was a letter from Huaiyang this afternoon. Lin Huaidong called me and Chen Hansan to Huaiyang to discuss military affairs." Zhang Yubo said.

"Did Chen Hansan ever agree to go?" Yuan Hancheng asked, as long as Chen Hansan agreed to go to Huaiyang to see Lin Fu, it would show that he had no dissent. Although Yuan Hancheng knew that the possibility was very small, the situation had At this step, he is no longer allowed to have some unrealistic delusions.

At the beginning, Yuan Hancheng also supported Chen Hansan to stay in Xuzhou, but he didn't expect the scourge to be so deep at this time. Even outside the palace, Chen Hansan sent a few secret posts to monitor it, and even Yuan Hancheng was restricted from entering and leaving the palace. .

Yuan Hancheng knew that in front of these fierce men in the hands of military power, the majesty of the imperial court and clan had been lost. In his opinion, Lin Fu was not necessarily better than Chen Hansan. The only difference was Lin Fu. On the surface, he is still loyal to the court and will not defect to Yanhu, but Chen Hansan is too difficult to say.

Zhang Yubo shook his head and said, "Chen Hansantuo is sick and bedridden, I haven't even seen his face, how could he go to Huaiyang? Huaiyang's letter mentions that the prince is a mature and serious person, who can take care of the original situation. I have an idea, I intend to invite the prince to Huaiyang to discuss military affairs..."

"That's it!" Yuan Hancheng sat down on the chair with a pale face, only to feel a cold air rushing up from his tailbone. Huaiyang's letter just gave him an excuse to leave Xuzhou, a place of right and wrong. As long as Chen Hansan did not openly defect, he and Zhang Yubo could not be prevented from going to Huaiyang to participate in the military, but if he left alone, what would happen to the hundreds of people in the Chu family's residence?

Yuan Hancheng didn't think that Lin Fu mentioned him in the letter with good intentions, but he didn't want to take the charge of the dignified King of Chu for coercing the traitor into the enemy.

"Master Zhang, you can go to Huaiyang. This king's muscles and bones are already stiff. In such a cold day, I can't be bothered to move." Yuan Hancheng said sullenly, what is the purpose of escaping alone at his age?

"Xiaguan thinks that Chen Hansan may not be determined to surrender to the enemy," Zhang Yubo suppressed his voice. After all, Chen Hansan did not openly surrender to the enemy, and he subconsciously suppressed his voice when discussing this matter, "Chen Hansan is a person who is good at calculating. Although there is no integrity to speak of, he will do more harm than good to surrender to the enemy, and he will not do it. I estimate that he is just trying to sell it at this time..."

"Continue talking..." Yuan Hancheng heard something and cheered up a little, letting Zhang Yubo continue.

"If the lord can convince Chen Hansan to deceive and surrender, and cooperate with Huaidong to defeat Yan and Hu's troops, his merit is enough to seal the marquis, how can it be better than that he drives Yan's captives to fight Huaidong hard?" Zhang Yubo said.

"I heard that Chen Hansan and Huaidong have old grudges, and the generals of Huaiyang Town who have recently joined Huaidong have a **** feud with Chen Hansan, how can they let Chen Hansan and Huaidong sit down and seek Yan together? captive?" Yuan Hancheng asked.

"Chen Hansan's fame and wealth are tied to Jiangning, but not to Huaidong. As long as the prince guarantees that his achievements will not be suppressed by Huaidong, why would he not want to? Huaidong's side, of course, put the overall situation first, not I would think that Chen Hansan took 20,000 elite soldiers to dedicate Xuzhou to the captives of Yan; moreover, in addition to Lin Huaidong, there is also Dong Shilang..." Zhang Yubo said.

"It's worth a try." Yuan Hancheng said after a moment of indulgence. He has now become a turtle in a urn. He gave up more than a hundred family members from the Chu palace and fled to Huaiyang to seek the protection of his old enemy. Yuan Hancheng was more willing to try to persuade Chen Hansan.

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

Zhang Yubo and Chu Wang Yuan Hancheng jointly voted for the post, insisting that they would not leave the hall if they did not see anyone, and that Ma Zhen could not block the frame, so he could only invite the two of them into Chen Hansan's "ward".

Chen Han had three beards, black face, and a sweat towel on his forehead. When Zhang Yubo and Yuan Hancheng entered the room, they were helped by two beautiful concubines who were as beautiful as flowers and jade. After the same time, his voice was deep and hoarse, and he said, "It is really disrespectful for this envoy to be so neglectful when Lord Lao came over..."

"General Chen, don't blame yourself. The battle is going on. I also heard that General Chen was in bad health, so I came to visit in a hurry." Going down, "The safety of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou City is all placed on General Chen, so I don't care about General Chen complaining that we have disturbed you in the past..."

"My lord, what are you talking about, what is your lord's order? I, Chen Hansan, are going to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire, and I will not refuse. What is this interruption?" Chen Hansan bowed and did not intend to send his concubine and Ma Zhen away , propping up the edge of the bed, Kong coughed a few times, and said, "Although the battle in the north is tight, I have 20,000 men guarding Xuzhou, and I dare not say anything else, but I can't take a half step into Xuzhou City - Your Highness, don't look at me. I can't get up now, and when Huma arrives at Xuzhou city, I will lie on the hospital bed and still can't get up, and I will be carried to the top of the city. Besides, Mr. Zhang will help me with other things, and the lord can rest assured. …”

Chen Hansan had read books for several years before he became a horse thief, and what he said was perfect, even Zhang Yubo and Yuan Hancheng could not find the slightest flaw.

Zhang Yubo said: "Only defending the city, Chen Shijun's army is more than enough; however, apart from the military and civilians in the city, the hundreds of thousands of rural households outside Xuzhou are helpless. According to the order of the Marquis of Huaidong, it is necessary to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. But fortifying the walls and clearing the fields will seriously hurt the people, and this year, the walls and fields will be cleared to resist the enemy, and next year the enemy and horses will come again, shouldn’t this Xusi area be completely abolished?”

"What's the best strategy for that lord?" Ma Zhen asked calmly, standing aside.

"If you can defeat the Yanlu, you will not only be able to dampen his spirit, but also relieve the siege of Dongping, which will kill two birds with one stone?" Zhang Yubo said.

"Master Zhang said so, and I think so too, but there are only 20,000 troops in Xuzhou city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and there is no way to defeat the Yanlu..." Chen Hansan said.

Zhang Yubo glanced at Yuan Hancheng, and Yuan Hancheng took it and said, "This king is discussing with Master Zhang today, thinking that if Xuzhou is defeated by fraud, he will lure Yanhu to send troops to take Xuzhou, and Xuzhou and Huaidong will cooperate with each other and destroy it. Obtaining this charge of the Yan prisoners who came to take Xuzhou will definitely set back their spirits, and the siege of Dongping will naturally be solved-General Chen, what do you think of this plan?"

Chen Hansan and Ma Zhen looked at each other, their eyes were full of hesitation, but they laughed again in a flash, forgetting to pretend to be sick, and said, "It is said that Prince Chu is resourceful and decisive, and he is a clan giant. I listened to it today. Prince Chu said the strategy, and Han San was also stunned, otherwise it would be difficult for Han San to get out of bed, so why not ask the prince to take over the military power on behalf of Han San..."

Yuan Hancheng said solemnly: "General Chen, this king is not trying to slander you. The current crisis cannot be solved unless it is an extraordinary strategy. This is also a good opportunity for General Chen to make a fortune. Although he is a bit risky, General Chen will not seek help. Of?"

"This, this..." Chen Hansan said, "It's not that Han San doesn't dare to take risks, but his body is really unsatisfactory. Lord Lin called me over to discuss affairs in Huaiyang, and I can't go there. Lord Chu's plan is good, But Han San couldn't bear to go to Huaiyang to discuss the details of the set with Lord Lin!"

"This official is willing to go on behalf of General Chen. If you can have the morale of the enemy, Huaidong will not be willing to show weakness." Zhang Yubo said.

"This, this..." Chen Hansan hesitated for a while, and didn't say why, but Ma Zhen gave him a wink before saying, "Let me think about it for a day or two, and I'm not in a hurry. God made it happen..."

Zhang Yubo saw that Chen Hansan had shown signs of persuasion, and knew that he could not be forced, so he left with Chu Wang Yuanhancheng first. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
