Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 72: Suizhou is undecided

(It's the third one again, ask for a red ticket)

In the early years, Luo Xiancheng led the refugee army to the south, and after storming Xiangyang, he dispatched generals and soldiers disguised as escaped officers and soldiers to deceive the city gates under Suizhou City, and seized Suizhou City in one fell swoop; Suizhou City was therefore not crippled by the war. Also because Luo Xiancheng proclaimed himself the King of Changle in Suizhou, awarded officials and awards, and built palaces, Suizhou City seems to be more prosperous than other places.

Hidden under the prosperous palace, along the streets and alleys, there are beggars in rags.

Not wanting to be disturbed, Hu Zongguo and Ma Zhen entered the city disguised as business travelers and in simple clothes, with only a few entourages leading the horses with them, and the Neishi Wei Zhang sent by Luo Xiancheng welcomed them into the city.

Without a guard of honor, Wei Zhang also wore Confucian clothes and simple clothes, but after they entered the city, they were treated as ordinary business travelers entering the city by beggars, and dozens of beggars rushed to block them as soon as they entered the city gate. A handful of copper coins were scattered, but it attracted more beggars to besieged. Later, when it was really impossible, Wei Zhang called the guards of the city gate to drive away the beggars and protect them to go to Changle Palace.

Wei Zhang was very worried. Luo Xiancheng's meaning still didn't want to be disturbed. He didn't expect that when he entered the city, this commotion would spread to King Changle's ears, and would it cause a lot of unhappiness.

Huaidong, Huaixi, and Jinghu all have spies in Suizhou, which is known to everyone with discernment.

Even if the situation has developed to this stage, Luo Xiancheng still doesn't want to completely block his retreat in Jiangning, and his contact with Chen Hansan and the Shejia family is still secretive, with no intention of spreading it out in broad daylight.

Ma Zhen drove on the horse, saw the worried look on Wei Zhang's face, and looked at Hu Zongguo with a little smugness in his heart.

At this point in the situation, Luo Xiancheng was still hesitant, and he did not make a final determination. He still had to cover up and be cautious, making Ma Zhen and Hu Zongguo very unhappy.

On a hot day, the carriage could not be wrapped tightly. Wei Zhang's intention was to enter the city quietly at night, so that he could naturally hide the attention of other forces in Suizhou City.

Hu Zongguo was in a hurry to enter the city and wanted to meet Luo Xiancheng on behalf of Shewenzhuang to discuss matters; Ma Zhen proposed to disguise himself as a business traveler and bring only a few followers into the city, so that it would not attract the attention of other forces.

Without thinking much, Wei Zhang agreed. How could he know that those who can enter Suizhou City to do business now are all in cahoots with Suizhou generals. Almost all the business trips entering the city are escorted by officials from Suizhou privately, to avoid the harassment of bandits outside the city and beggars in the city. For example, Ma Zhen and Hu Zongguo only have three or four followers to accompany the business trips into the city, but they are particularly conspicuous.

Wei Zhang is also "only because he is in this mountain", but he is not as good as Ma Zhen, an outsider who sees it clearly, so he does not know the plan, but he is worried about the exposure of Hu Zongguo and Ma Zhen's travels in the city.

"Master Wei, Chen Zhihu defeated the Hezhong Army in Ruyang, what is there to talk about in Suizhou City?" Hu Zongguo rode in parallel with Wei Zhang. At this time, he was escorted by the city gate guards. He was not afraid of being surrounded by beggars. Can talk to Wei Zhang leisurely.

The dead camel was bigger than a horse. After the extravagant family crossed the river, there were still nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, which was seven or eight times as many as the troops of the Third Department of Chen Han.

Hu Zongguo is the long history of Shewenzhuang. As Chen Hansan's staff, Ma Zhen's status is naturally a lot lower than that of Hu Zongguo. Hu Zongguo and Wei Zhang went side by side, while Ma Zhen fell behind, listening to them discussing the battle of Ruyang.

Wei Zhang nodded, smiled lightly, and said, "The news of Suizhou City is blocked, and the news of the battle at Ruyang has not spread much. Wei Zhang only learned about it yesterday, and I don't know what other people are talking about."

Wei Zhang did not agree with the attack on Nanyang with the state horses beforehand, because he was worried that after Liang Chengyi led the troops and horses in the river to retreat to Nanyang, it would greatly enhance the defensive strength of Nanyang.

Once Suizhou raises troops too early, and Yanhu cannot take Nanyang for a while, it is very likely that Huaidong, Jinghu and Chizhou troops will be called to concentrate their forces to sweep Suizhou first.

In Suizhou City, most people's thoughts are the same as Wei Zhang: Yan Hu is strong, but Huaidong is also strong in Changhong, and he fights like a bereaved dog. , Who can be sure that this country will definitely call Yan Hu to go?

After the She family retreated to Jiangxi, Huaidong assembled 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shangrao, and the strength of the She family did not last for a year; Everyone doubts whether Suizhou can last for half a year.

However, after the news that Liang Chengyi's troops and horses were on the way to the south, and Chen Zhihu caught up in Ruyang and was defeated, spread to Suizhou, the attitude of the people in Suizhou had a subtle change - but this kind of change, Wei Zhang will not Tell it to Hu Zongguo.

Wei Zhang's tone became tighter, but Ma Zhen was rather strange, worried that the trip might not have the desired outcome.

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

Changle Palace is located in the northeast corner of Suizhou City, which is actually a newly built inner city in Suizhou City.

The Changle Palace is more than a hundred steps on Saturday. The city wall is more than 30 feet high. The four-cornered Qiaolou towers into the clouds. There is a solid feeling.

Hu Zongguo entered Suizhou City for the first time. He looked up at Changle Palace and saw Luo Xiancheng's management of Suizhou so deliberately.

Although it is said that if you live in Suizhou, you can win Jianghan, but the geographical location is far worse than that of Xiangfan City, which is in the upper reaches of the Han River. The biggest advantage of running Suizhou City is that Suizhou is east of Huaidong.

Thinking of this, Hu Zongguo was not fully sure of his final determination to lobby Luo Xiancheng.

The same is true when you think about it. It is precisely the mentality of getting a small profit that makes Luo Xiancheng live the longest and most nourishing life among the several refugee armies.

Liu An'er led his troops into Hehuai, but Luo Xiancheng was half a beat. After Liu An'er died in Xuzhou, Luo Xiancheng thought he had escaped.

The She family had just entered the two Zhejiang provinces from East Fujian, and the autumn wind had the tendency to sweep the leaves away; Luo Xiancheng also once entered the army in Jichun and hit the north bank of the Yangtze River, intending to enter Jiangxi and join the She family. After seeing that the situation was not right, I gave up crossing the river and returned to Suizhou to operate and operate.

In the second year of Yongxing, Chen Hansan used the city of Xuzhou to surrender Yanhu, and there was a tendency to collapse along the Huaihe River. Luo Xiancheng was also ready to move. However, after the war in Xuzhou, Chen Hansan defeated the Huaidong Army in a dwindling manner, and in the end only three or five thousand soldiers escaped into Huaishan. Xuzhou was also called Huaidong to win. Luo Xiancheng had to bury his head again and stay in Suizhou.

Of course, Yue Lengqiu's design to induce Chen Hansan to betray Liu An'er left a deep shadow on the hearts of the refugee army generals.

Although in the later period, Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Li Liang, Sun Zhuang and other Huaidong generals who escaped from the Huaisi refugee army all wrote letters to Luo Xiancheng. Or called Huaidong Incorporation.

Zhong Rong, the general of the Changle Army, had been waiting in the main entrance for a long time. Seeing that Wei Zhang had welcomed Hu Zongguo and Ma Zhen into the palace gate, he strode out and took Hu Zongguo into the inner hall to see Luo Xiancheng.

Hu Zongguo has long held the post of long history in the provincial governor's office of Zhejiang and Fujian. He Feihu, She Feixiong, and Deng Yu, the veteran general of East Fujian, who were born in the main office of Shewenzhuang, died in the battle against Huaidong. Hu Zongguo died. Now it is a member of the Zhejiang-Fujian army, a person from the luxury Wenzhuang and below.

Shewenzhuang will not come to Suizhou to lobby in person. Hu Zongguo's visit this time is considered a very important candidate.

Luo Xiancheng had a dark complexion and a plump body. He sat on a high-back chair with all the flesh hanging down from his waist, pushing the yellow silk python robe out of two bulging lumps of flesh.

Hu Zongguo's predecessor, Shewenzhuang, greeted Luo Xiancheng. After a few words of greetings, he went straight to the subject: "The two sons of Liang's family are not good. Although Liang Chengyi is known as the young tiger of Liang's family, the first battle in Ruyang will reveal his roots. , but that's it. It seems that Liang Chengchong manages Nanyang, too. King Luo and Nanyang depend on each other, must have a deep understanding?"

Luo Xiancheng ripped off the collar of his shirt to make it cooler. In July, the weather in Suizhou was sultry and hot, Luo Xian became fat, and he was most afraid of the heat. The folds of his flesh were soaked with sweat and dripped with oil.

Hu Zongguo's intention was naturally clear, but Luo Xiancheng subconsciously gave a haha ​​and said, "This king is ignorant in Suizhou, and he is really friendly with the surrounding; I really can't talk about the situation in Nanyang."

"Lin Fu continued to use the Chizhou army in eastern Hubei, and also transferred his troops to Luzhou to prepare for the battle. It seemed to be prepared for Nanyang to change, but if Liang Chengchong was to defend in Nanyang, then King Luo thought that Huaidong's troops were assembled in Luzhou. Whose head will the horse be added to?" Hu Zongguo asked, "Could it be that King Luo thought that the She family's lips were dead and Suizhou's teeth were not cold?"

Luo Xiancheng didn't say a word, but a thin-faced middle-aged man with a sparse goatee next to him interjected: "The She family and Huaidong have formed a deadly feud, but who is not a vassal who is a vassal in Suizhou?"

Hu Zongguo glanced at the thin-faced middle-aged man, and no one introduced who this person was. Since he could meet him by Luo Xiancheng's side, he thought that his status in Suizhou would not be low. And to get rich and noble, only King Luo can't get it down - the truth of this, King Luo, would you like to hear me say it again?"

Seeing that Luo Xiancheng did not express his position, Hu Zongguo continued: "Song Fu surrendered to Huaidong, then the Song clan handed over the right to disarm; I don't know how many Huaisi troops descended from Huaidong after Liu Miaozhen~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, Liu Miaozhen married Lin Fuwei. The concubine is safe - Liu An'er designed a booby trap for Yue Lengqiu, but Lin Fie is always very ambitious, and how can he know that during the Huaisi War, it was not that Lin Bie could not allow Liu An'er to survive? How many soldiers and horses were completely disbanded by Huaidong? Dare to ask King Luo, would you like to surrender the right to surrender after surrendering to Huaidong, and would you like to be slaughtered by Huaidong?"

"..." Hu Zongguo said, "Lin Fu, this son is always ambitious, and wants to replace the Yuan clan to stand on his own. It is difficult to drive the ethnic group and the people to govern it, so the strategy of splitting the soil and dividing the feudal feudalism must be carried out to control the Han. At this time, King Luo helped the Beiyan army to attack Nanyang, and made great achievements.

"Master Hu's remarks must have been said to Huang Binghao by someone who went to Yuanzhou. Let's ask Master Hu, how did Huang Binghao answer the luxury family?" Luo Xiancheng has been fat in the past two years, but his brain is still good.

Saying one thousand, saying ten thousand, Luo Xiancheng was unwilling to take the lead, for fear that he would cut off his retreat on Jiangning's side, so that he would get out of control in the end.

Of course, Luo Xiancheng's eyes on Huang Binghao in Yuanzhou can't be wrong. If Huang Binghao has a trouble in Yuanzhou, he can contain 40,000 to 50,000 Huaidong Army elites in the hinterland of Jiangxi, and the effect is even better than sending troops directly to Nanyang in Suizhou. to be effective.

If Huang Binghao had surrendered to Huaidong in an orderly manner, and did not make trouble for Huaidong in the hinterland of Jiangxi, then Huaidong would be able to gather at most 70,000 or 80,000 elites in Luzhou to support Xinyang and Nanyang at any time. Luo Xiancheng was not sure if he would attack Nanyang with the Beiyan army from north to south, he would definitely be able to take Nanyang down.

If the Beiyan army saw that Nanyang could not be attacked for a long time, and finally temporarily abandoned Nanyang and returned to the banks of the Yellow River to rest - it was really too late for Luo Xiancheng to cry, and it was useless.
