The Wang family is the first prominent family in Langya County, and it is also the target that Sun Xuanya and Meng Rang want to focus on, as long as the famous families support them, they can basically gain a foothold in Langya County.

Therefore, as soon as Meng Rang stabilized the military, he hurriedly came to visit the Wang family, and naturally the Wang family quickly expressed his position, as long as Meng Rang treated the people well, the Wang family would continue to support it.

Of course, the Wang family's support for Sun Xuanya and Meng Rang is only for self-preservation, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, the Wang family will not mess up with bandits, this is a matter of principle.

Although many prominent families in the world secretly fornicated with bandits in order to protect themselves, once the Sui army began to suppress bandits, they would actively clear themselves, saying that they were absolutely innocent and absolutely supported the officers and soldiers in quelling bandits.

It is precisely because of this mentality that after Zhang Xuan began to attack Langya County, the attitude of the Wang family also changed little by little, especially after Zhang Xuan completely annihilated Wang Bo 10,000 elites, the Wang family began to completely support the Sui army, and it was with the secret support of the Wang family that the Sui army captured Fei County bloodlessly and prepared to attack Linyi County.

The head of the Wang family is called Wang Yongquan, about forty years old, and he has been full of sorrow in recent years, so that he has thanked most of his head, and he looks very old, as if he has passed the age of six.

When Wang Yongquan heard that Shen Guang was coming, he immediately asked his nephew to lead him to the backyard.

"General Shen, are the officers and soldiers going to start attacking the city?" Wang Yongquan asked expectantly.

Shen Guang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Attacking the city is the next policy, my general will not attack the city until he is forced to do so, and the first choice is to go to the army to attack and strategize." ”

Wang Yongquan immediately understood the meaning of Shen Guang's words, that is, he wanted the Wang family to help, and of course the Wang family was willing to help, but the premise was that the Wang family could not take risks, once Meng Rang knew about it, the Wang family would face the disaster of extermination. Wang Yongquan was silent for a while.

Shen Guang understood the other party's worries, and said with a smile: "Actually, it won't make the head of the family embarrassed, we just hope to find a foothold." ”

Wang Yongquan's heart was relieved, this requirement is not high, the Wang family can do it, he immediately smiled happily: "Of course you can." I wonder how many brothers have entered the city? ”

Shen Guang stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty?" Wang Yongquan asked tentatively.

Shen Guang shook his head, "It's two hundred!" ”

Wang Yongquan was a little stunned, there were actually two hundred people, how did they enter the city?

"We will enter the city in three days, and today we should have eighty brothers, and we said that we would meet at the temple and that I would bring them over and ask the head of the house to prepare for the reception."

Wang Yongquan nodded silently, and now he has no choice. He could only accept it head-on, but fortunately, Meng Rang did not completely control the situation in Linyi, so he still had a little chance, he pondered and asked, "Are all the brothers meeting in the temple?" ”

"Exactly!"

"I have a nephew who runs a cloth shop next to the temple, which occupies a large area, but it has been closed for two years, if the general does not dislike it"

Without waiting for Wang Yongquan to finish speaking, Shen Guang immediately said: "Then we will hide in this cloth shop!" ”

Wang Yongquan was overjoyed. As long as the Sui army does not hide in their own mansion, then there will be no problems. He hurriedly added: "I will send someone to deliver the food that everyone needs, and if there is any need, I will definitely do my best." ”

"Then thank you to the head of the house!"

Shen Guang smiled again and introduced Sun Ying to him next to him, "My brother Sun is responsible for contacting the head of the family, I have other things, and I will trouble the head of the family in the next few days." ”

"Where! Where! Do your best for the court. It is the unshirkable responsibility of the Wang family, and the Wang family will do their best to help. ”

Shen Guang arranged various details, Sun Ying followed Wang Yongquan's nephew to the temple to greet the other brothers, and Shen Guang went to the southern military camp in Linyi County.

As the soldiers and civilians who went outside the city to cut wheat returned to the city one after another, the streets were particularly lively. Although the curfew imposed by Sun Xuanya for nearly a year has not been abolished, it is in fact no longer there, which is also a concrete manifestation of Meng Rang's failure to fully control the situation in Linyi.

The six thief armies went out of the city to grab the grain, and they all competed for the lead, but no one was willing to contribute to patrolling the streets and maintaining the curfew, so Meng Rang considered letting each send a thousand troops to form a patrol security army under his personal command, but they still fought each other and there was no result in the end.

Not long after, Shen Guang came to the Southern Military Camp, which was the garrison of the general Chen Haishi, who was Sun Xuanya's confidant and commanded 8,000 troops.

Chen Haishi was unwilling to be loyal to Meng Rang, but Meng Rang promised him not to kill Sun Xuanya and Sun Zhi'an's wives and children, so Chen Haishi reluctantly expressed his support for Meng Rang's fight against the Sui army, and only after the Sui army withdrew, did he decide where to go?

Before that, a large amount of grain had been transported into the barracks by mule carts, which greatly relieved their originally tense military rations, not only Chen Haishi's army, but also several other armies also sent a large number of soldiers out of the city to cut wheat.

Shen Guang was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and as soon as he approached the gate of the barracks, a soldier on duty immediately shouted: "Stop! ”

Shen Guang hurriedly said in a loud voice: "I am a relative of General Chen, I came from my hometown, please inform me!" ”

"Wait here!"

The soldier on duty shouted an order, immediately turned around and ran back to the barracks, and after a while, a personal soldier of Chen Haishi hurried over with him on duty, and the personal soldier looked at Shen Guang and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of relative of General Chen is this strong man?" ”

Shen Guang took out the golden arrow and shook it in front of the soldiers, the soldiers were taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Please follow me into the camp!" ”

Shen Guang walked into the camp, until he came to the big tent, and his soldiers went in to report, and came out in a moment and said, "The general invites you in." ”

Shen Guang walked into the big tent, the lights in the big tent were bright, and the main general Chen Haishi sat behind a table, staring sharply into the big tent.

"As I expected!"

Chen Haishi recognized Shen Guang at a glance, when he was captured by Zhang Xuansheng, this person was next to Zhang Xuan, Chen Haishi pulled out his long sword and rushed forward, the long sword flashed, and he pressed against Shen Guang's throat and said viciously: "I know you, you are the scout leader of the Sui army." ”

Shen Guang smiled faintly, "When my general caught you, he didn't use his long sword to hold your throat. ”

Chen Haishi remembered that Zhang Xuan had let him go, his face was slightly hot, he put away his long sword, and asked coldly: "I won't surrender to the Sui army, don't bother anymore, for Zhang Xuan's sake of letting me go once, I will also let you go this time, you go!" ”

Chen Haishi thought that Shen Guang was here to persuade him, although he was also a little conflicted in his heart, but his self-esteem still made him unwilling to accept Zhao'an happily.

Shen Guang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, "This is a handwritten letter written by Sun Xuanya to you, take a look at it yourself!" ”

"Ahh

Chen Haishi took the letter excitedly, "Isn't my king dead?" ”

"He was captured alive, although he is not dead now, but there is no guarantee that he will not die in the future, you can read the letter first!"

Chen Haishi hurriedly sat back in his seat, opened the letter a few times and looked at it carefully, gradually, his expression became solemn, and finally he was silent.

Shen Guang saw the contradiction in Chen Haishi's heart, and he persuaded softly: "General Chen, everyone is choosing at the turning point of fate, Sun Xuanya chose to cooperate with my general for a chance to survive, when I was in Liaodong, I also resolutely chose to follow my general when I felt confused about the future, Wang Bo also knew that Langya County could not gain a foothold, he chose to secretly transfer to Lu County, I believe that the general knows the situation of Linyi County better than me, Meng Rang must choose to flee south to Xuzhou, so what is the general's choice?" ”

Of course, Chen Haishi is very aware of the situation in Linyi, Meng Rang is unkind and has no prestige, everyone just doesn't want civil strife to temporarily support him, but once the Sui army attacks the city on a large scale, everyone will go their separate ways, Meng Rang can't hold the city and can only flee south, so what should he do?

Chen Haishi let out a long sigh, "Why didn't the Sui army attack the city, once the city was attacked, Linyi County would not be able to hold it for half a day." ”

Shen Guang laughed, "Actually, there is no need to attack the city, as long as one or two thousand people pretend to be your soldiers and blend into the wheat cutting crowd, just like me, it is easy to enter the city, does General Chen think that the patrol sent by Meng Rang can really find the Sui army infiltrating?" ”

Chen Haishi's face changed greatly, letting the army and civilians go out to cut wheat is indeed a huge loophole, Shen Guang is right, the spies sent by Meng Rang are only monitoring the official roads leading to Linyi County, as long as the Sui army does not take the main road, they can't find it at all, and he can't help muttering: "Then why"

"Because my general doesn't want Langya County to become another Qinghe County, that kind of miserable situation of thousands of miles of red fields can't appear again."

Chen Haishi lowered his head, he was deeply moved by Zhang Xuan's heart, he himself is from Fei County, of course he doesn't want his hometown to suffer from life, and he doesn't want Langya County to become the second Qinghe County, and more importantly, once Linyi City is broken, he has nowhere to go, he has to face this reality and temporarily abandon his inner self-esteem.

After a long time, he looked at Shen Guang and asked slowly, "If I agree, then what can I get?" ”

Only then did Shen Guang take out Zhang Xuan's letter and hand it to him, "This is a handwritten letter from the general of my family to you, and the answer that General Chen wants to know has a clear answer on it." ”
