The weather turned cooler day by day, and in a blink of an eye, thin ice had formed on the river, and the leaves had fallen, leaving only bare branches.As far as the eye can see, it is bleak.

At this time, the princes of the world have been to the Central Plains for nearly two months, but the King Qin's alliance still has no results.Moreover, instead of making progress in the alliance, the situation is getting worse and worse.

There have been several princes wanting to withdraw one after another.

Especially those in remote areas, they don't have much enthusiasm for being kings, but they just come to make a formality during the slack time.But it was almost deep winter, if I stayed in the Central Plains for a while longer, I might miss the spring plowing when I went back.And once the spring plowing is delayed, the supply of food and grass for the army will be difficult in the coming year. What needs to be worried is not the fire in the capital, but whether the backyard will also catch fire.

And once someone wants to withdraw, the hearts of the other forces will also be shaken.Some armies even began to have internal strife—the generals wanted to stay and take credit for the battle of King Qin, but the soldiers completely lost their fighting spirit during the long pass, and just wanted to go home and farm.

For a time, people panic.

Qin Wang Huimeng, I am afraid that it will be in vain...

……

After another meeting, Wu Cong came back to find Xie Wuji.

"General," Wu Cong reported, "the envoys from Changle Mansion and Lin'an Mansion also did not attend today. Counting them, five princes have withdrawn from the alliance."

"Oh?" Xie Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Very good."

In the past few days, they have heard one after another that some troops are packing up and preparing to leave camp and return.There are still a lot of troops on the sidelines.Once someone leaves first, a large number of troops will withdraw immediately.

This is undoubtedly good news for Xie Wuji.In other words, everything is developing as he expected.

Since the first time Xie Wuji heard that the Guangjin Mansion had issued an order to all the mansions to summon all the troops from all over the world to the Central Plains to suppress the bandits, he knew that this was bound to be impossible.

That Liu Songxu had never fought a war, and he thought it too easy to fight a war, as if as long as he brought in enough helpers and stood there, he could win without a fight by virtue of his momentum.But that's not the case in real war.A large number of people is not necessarily a good thing, but a large number of participating forces is definitely a bad thing.

And Liu Song pulled not just one or two helpers, but more than a dozen helpers.Each army has its own master, and there is no strong leader in the Central Plains. In this case, internal strife is inevitable.It is also said that Guo Jinli has no skills. If he is Guo Jinli, let alone besieged by more than a dozen princes, he can even use this opportunity to wipe out more than a dozen princes!

And the reason why he still came to participate, knowing that the King Qin League was doomed to fail, was that he was waiting for the opportunity.

When the alliance fell through and the princes from all walks of life withdrew one after another, it was time for him to act.At that time, when he invaded the capital and repelled the rebels, it would not be justifiable - it was the other princes who gave up King Qin, and it was reasonable for him to send troops, and it was what the people of the Central Plains wanted!He will receive little resistance, and the other princes will have nothing to say.

Wu Cong hurriedly said: "The general will definitely get what he wants!"

When Xie Wuji asked him what he thought of King Qin that day, he didn't answer in time, which made Xie Wuji unhappy, and he was always worried.So now he seized the opportunity and hurried to make up for it.

Xie Wuji was not so optimistic either.Anything is possible before it happens.He ordered: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on the forces of all parties. If there is any change, report to me in time."

After receiving the order, Wu Cong hurriedly withdrew.

=====

The change that Xie Wuji was worried about had actually already begun to brew.

Jiangling Barracks.

When it was getting dark, an officer came to the commander's tent, looked around to make sure that there were no eyes and ears that he was worried about, and then plunged into the commander's tent.

"Brother." The officer entered the tent, but he didn't greet Huang Dongxuan, and he didn't call him general when he called him, which shows the close relationship between the two.

Huang Dongxuan hurriedly said: "Is everything deployed?"

"Brother, don't worry, everything has been deployed. When the time passes, two thousand brothers will leave the camp together and head to the capital!"

Huang Dongxuan asked again: "Did you not alarm the people on Zhou Hama's side?"

The man didn't dare to guarantee it, he just said: "We act very carefully."

Huang Dongxuan nodded.

The Zhou Hama they were talking about was also an officer in the Jiangling Army, and belonged to a different faction from Huang Dongxuan.Zhou Hama's real name is Zhou Yizong, and his eyes are big and swollen, shaped like a toad, so he got this nickname.This time the Jiangling army brought a total of 3000 soldiers to join the King Qin League, but only 1000 of these [-] were soldiers of Huang Dongxuan, and [-] were subordinates of Zhou Hama, who were also sent by the governor of Jiangling to supervise Huang Dongxuan's.

This matter will start with Huang Dongxuan's background.

This Huang Dongxuan was only established this year, and he has been a water thief in Jiangling for ten years.He has a bold personality and a wise plan. In the past ten years, he has gradually changed from a small water thief to a powerful figure in the Jiangling water system. There are thousands of younger brothers under his command. The government has nothing to do with him. Merchant ships are terrified at his name.

However, a few years ago, when the imperial court delegated military power and each government began to recruit troops on its own, Huang Dongxuan made a jaw-dropping decision—he took the initiative to lead thousands of his men to join the government of Jiangling Prefecture. Officer general.

This Huang Dongxuan is a very courageous gambler who is good at seizing various opportunities.He saw a good time to surrender to the government, and he did get the status he wanted.It's a pity that the days after the surrender were not as smooth as he imagined.

Although the governor of the Jiangling government recruited his army and gave him good treatment, he only wanted to use him to wipe out the water pirates who participated in it. He didn't trust him at all from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't intend to reuse him.Since the Jiangling water system was restored to peace, the governor of Jiangling began to vigorously support other factions, adding 1 troops to Zhou Hama's faction at every turn, but he refused to give him even one person. The heart of guarding against and suppressing him can be seen One spot.

This time Qin Wang, in fact, the governor of Jiangling did not have much interest in it, but Huang Dongxuan sensed an opportunity again, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.

The Governor of Jiangling felt that he had to participate in this matter in terms of face, and there was nothing wrong with letting Huang Dongxuan go out to lose troops and lose generals, so he complied with his request.But he was afraid that he would cause trouble if he was released, so he sent Zhou Yizong to accompany him with a team of 1000 people to supervise him all the way.

Over the past two years, Huang Dongxuan has been extremely disappointed with Jiangling Governor.And his purpose of returning to the Central Plains this time is to choose another Ming master.

As for what kind of bright master to choose, he hasn't thought about it yet.He has been staying in Jingzhou area all year round, so he doesn't know much about the situation in the world.When he came out this time, he didn't intend to take his family fortune with him immediately after he was elected as the master of Ming Dynasty.On the contrary, he intends to use this opportunity to make a name for himself, to let the princes all over the world see his ability, so that those princes who are thirsty for talents will take the initiative to win over him.At that time, he can also put forward his own conditions to ensure that he will have the opportunity to show his strength in the future, so as not to encounter such a fool who does not know people like Jiang Ningfu Yin again.

So how can he become famous?

It couldn't be easier - he wants to lead people into the capital!

Now more than a dozen princes have led an army of [-] to [-] to occupy the Central Plains for more than a month, and they have been pushing each other, and they dare not even send a single soldier.He Huang Dongxuan is different, he doesn't need any allies.He has already done the investigation for more than a month. In fact, the rebels in the capital probably don't know how to form troops at all. They don't know how to take advantage of such a favorable terrain in the capital, and there are quite a few omissions in defense.He is confident that he can rush in with only two thousand brothers with him!

Huang Dongxuan is different from Xie Wuji, his goal is to be famous, to show his ability to the whole world.So he didn't intend to capture the entire capital, as long as he could enter the imperial city, it would be enough to rescue the little emperor; That's enough; he doesn't care who will pick up and share the advantages of the Central Plains after the matter is completed, so he doesn't have to wait until the princes withdraw their troops before doing it.

On the contrary, when no one has left yet, but people's hearts are scattered, and the forces of all parties are no longer closely watching each other, the best time for him to do it has come.

Huang Dongxuan closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, and felt his heart beating faster and his blood spurting.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he grinned wider and wider.

The show is about to begin!

……

At midnight, Huang Dongxuan put on his armor and a sword, and got out of the tent.

The sound of footsteps came from all over the barracks, it was his soldiers who were coming out of the barracks to assemble.

A moment later, Huang Dongxuan walked up to the high ground with a lantern in his hand and looked down.Two thousand soldiers have been prepared and equipped, and the team has been assembled. At a glance, it is dark.

He licked the corner of his mouth, with a frenzied light in his eyes: "Let's go!"

The clear whistle sounded, and in the darkness, the soldiers marched in the direction of the capital neatly and quietly.
