(It's the third watch again, asking for red tickets)

In his early years, Luo Xiancheng led the exile army south, and after storming Xiangyang, he sent generals to disguise themselves as fleeing officers and soldiers, and went to Suizhou City to deceive and open the city gate, and captured Suizhou City in one fell swoop; Because of this, Suizhou City was not destroyed by the war. Also because Luo Xiancheng proclaimed himself the king of Changle in Suizhou, rewarded the official and built a palace, Suizhou City looked more prosperous than other places.

Hidden beneath the prosperous palace, along the streets and alleys, are ragged beggars.

Not wanting to cause alarm, Hu Zongguo and Ma Zhen entered the city dressed as business travelers and simple clothes, and only a few entourages led the horses to accompany them, and the internal history Wei Zhang, sent by Luo Xiancheng, welcomed them into the city.

There was no guard of honor, and Wei Zhang also wore Confucian clothes, but after they entered the city, they regarded the beggars as ordinary merchants entering the city, and as soon as they entered the city gate, dozens of beggars crowded over and blocked them. scattered a handful of copper coins, but attracted more beggars to surround them. Later, there was really no way, so Wei Zhang called the guards at the city gate, drove the beggars away, and protected them to Changle Palace.

Wei Zhang was worried, Luo Xiancheng meant, he still didn't want to be alarmed, but he didn't expect to make such a disturbance when he entered the city, and when it reached the ears of King Changle, would it cause a lot of unhappiness.

Huaidong, Huaixi and Jinghu all have secret agents in Suizhou, which is something that anyone with a discerning eye knows.

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

Ma Zhen drove the horse, saw the melancholy on Wei Zhang's face in his eyes, and glanced at Hu Zongguo, hiding a little smugness in his heart.

At this point in the situation, Luo Xiancheng was still hesitant, did not make a final decision, and still had to hide and be cautious, which made Ma Zhen and Hu Zongguo very unhappy.

On a hot day, the carriage can't be wrapped tightly, Wei Zhang's meaning was originally to quietly enter the city 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 Haowenzhuang; Ma Zhen proposed to disguise himself as a business traveler and bring only a few retinues into the city, so as not to attract the attention of other forces.

Wei Zhang didn't think much about it, so he agreed, where did he know that he could enter Suizhou City to do business now, and all of them were colluded with Suizhou generals. Almost all the business travelers entering the city were escorted by the state officials and generals privately, so as to avoid the harassment of bandits outside the city and beggars in the city, such as Ma Zhen and Hu Zongguo, who only had three or four entourages to accompany them, but they were particularly conspicuous.

Wei Zhang is also "only in this mountain", but he is not as clear as Ma Zhen, an outsider, so he doesn't know the plan, but he is worried about the exposure of Hu Zongguo and Ma Zhen's entry into the city.

"Lord Wei, Chen Zhihu defeated the Hezhong army in Ruyang, what do you have to say about this in Suizhou City?" Hu Zongguo rode a horse in parallel with Wei Zhang, at this time there were guards at the city gate to escort him, but he was not afraid of beggars coming to block him, Hu Zongguo could talk to Wei Zhang leisurely.

The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and after the luxury family crossed the river, there were still nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, which was seven or eight times as many as Chen Hansan's department.

Hu Zongguo is the long history of Luwenzhuang, and Ma Zhen, as Chen Hansan's staff, is naturally a lot lower than Hu Zongguo. Hu Zongguo and Wei Zhang were in parallel, and Ma Zhen was left behind, listening to them talk about the battle of Ruyang.

Wei Zhang bowed his head, smiled faintly, and said: "The news of Suizhou City is blocked, and the news of the first battle in Ruyang has not spread much, and Wei Zhang only found out yesterday, and I don't know what others are talking about." ”

Wei Zhang did not agree with Suizhou immediately raising troops to attack Nanyang in advance, because he was worried that after Liang Chengyi led the soldiers and horses in the river to retreat to Nanyang, it would greatly enhance Nanyang's defensive strength.

Once Suizhou starts too early, Yanhu will not be able to take Nanyang for a while, and it is likely that the Huaidong, Jinghu and Chizhou armies will be asked to concentrate their forces and sweep Suizhou away first.

In Suizhou City, most people's thoughts are the same as Wei Zhang: Yanhu is strong, but Huaidong is also angry, beating the luxury family like a lost dog, almost half of the Jiangnan River, strong soldiers and horses, nearly 300,000 elite soldiers, who can be sure that this country will definitely be called Yanhu to go?

After the luxury family retreated to Jiangxi, Huaidong gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shangrao, and the strength of the luxury family did not last for a year; If Huaidong gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses and crossed the river from Jiangzhou to the north to fight Suizhou, Ma Zhang and others doubted that Suizhou would be able to survive for half a year.

However, after the news that Liang Chengyi's soldiers and horses in the river were on the way to the south and gave Chen Zhihu to catch up in Ruyang and was defeated reached Suizhou, the attitude of the people in Suizhou changed subtly - only this kind of change, Wei Zhang would not tell Hu Zongguo.

Wei Zhang's tone tightened, and Ma Zhen was quite strange, worried that this trip might not be as satisfactory as he wanted.

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

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

Changle Palace is more than 100 steps on Saturday, the city wall is more than three zhang high, the four corners of the tower are towering into the clouds, the outer side is dug with a deep hao, the main gate is concave to the inner side, the horse face wall on both sides stretches out like a small castle, stands on both wings, makes people look at the feeling of solidity.

Hu Zongguo entered Suizhou City for the first time, looked up at Changle Palace, and saw Luo Xiancheng so deliberately running Suizhou, he knew that his people were in a safe corner, and he really had no ambition to chase the Central Plains.

Although living in Suizhou can win the Jianghan, but the geographical location is far worse than the two cities of Xiangfan in the upper reaches of the Han River, and the biggest advantage of operating Suizhou City is probably the east of Suizhou and Huaidong, and the defeat is "retreating to Huaishan", right?

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

Thinking about it, it is precisely the mentality of getting a small profit that makes Luo Xiancheng live the longest and the most nourishing among several homeless people's armies.

Liu An'er led his troops to advance into Hehuai, Luo Xiancheng was half a beat slower, and after Liu An'er died in Xuzhou, Luo Xiancheng thought that he had escaped.

The luxury family has just entered the army from Eastern Fujian to Zhejiang, and there is a tendency of autumn wind to sweep away the leaves; Luo Xiancheng also once marched into Jichun and hit the north bank of the Yangtze River, intending to enter Jiangxi and join the luxury family. Later, seeing that the situation was not right, he gave up crossing the river and retreated to Suizhou to operate and operate, so that Suizhou has today's scene.

In the second year of Yongxing, Chen Hansan surrendered Yanhu with Xuzhou City, and there was a tendency to collapse along the Huai River, and Luo Xiancheng was also ready to move. However, in the war in Xuzhou, Chen Hansan gave the Huaidong army a great blow, and finally only three or five thousand remnants fled into Huaishan, Xuzhou was also called Huaidong to capture, Luo Xiancheng had to bury his head again, nest in Suizhou and do not move.

Of course, Yue Lengqiu's design to induce Chen Hansan to betray Liu An'er left a deep shadow in the hearts of the generals of the Wandering People's Army.

Although in the later period, Liu Miaozhen, Ma Lantou, Li Liang, Sun Zhuang and other Huaidong generals who escaped from the Huaisi Liumin Army all wrote letters to Luo Xiancheng, and their words were attached, but Luo Xiancheng, who had no great ambitions and was in a corner of peace, could never rest assured that he could call the imperial court or call Huaidong to be co-opted.

Zhong Rong, the general of the Changle Army, was waiting in the main gate early in the morning, and when he saw Wei Zhang welcoming 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 served as the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the children born in the main room of Luxury, Feihu, Feixiong, and Deng Yu, the general of Eastern Fujian, have been killed in the battle with Huaidong, and Hu Zongguo is now a member of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army, a person who plays a pivotal role below Luxury.

Luxury Wenzhuang will not come to Suizhou to lobby in person, Hu Zongguo came over this time, and he is a very heavy candidate.

Luo Xiancheng was dark-skinned and fat, sitting on a high-backed chair, the flesh around his waist hung down, and the yellow silk python robe stretched out of two bulging lumps of meat.

Hu Zongguo's ancestor greeted Luo Xiancheng on behalf of Haowenzhuang, and after a few words of greeting, he went straight to the topic: "The two sons of the Liang family are not in the climate. Although Liang Chengyi is known as the young tiger of the Liang family, the battle of Ruyang will reveal the roots, but that's it. It seems that Liang Chengchong runs Nanyang, and it is also over, King Luo and Nanyang depend on each other, so he must have a deep understanding? ”

Luo Xiancheng tore off the collar a little to make it cooler. In July, the weather in Suizhou is sweltering, Luo Xiancheng is fat, and he is most afraid of heat, and the meat folds are soaked with sweat, and a layer of oil and water comes down.

Hu Zongguo's intention was naturally clear, but Luo Xiancheng subconsciously snorted and said: "This king is lonely and unheard of in Suizhou, and he is really friendly with his surroundings; The situation in Nanyang is really not clear. ”

"Lin Tie continued to use the Chizhou army in eastern Hubei and also transferred his soldiers and horses to Luzhou to prepare for the war, which seems to be to prevent changes in Nanyang, but if Liang Chengchong is called to defend in Nanyang, then King Luo thinks that the soldiers and horses assembled by Huaidong in Luzhou will be added to whose head?" Hu Zongguo asked, "Could it be that King Luo thinks that the luxurious family's lips are dead and Suizhou is cold?" ”

Luo Xiancheng didn't say anything, but a thin-faced middle-aged man with a sparse goatee next to him interjected: "The luxury family and Huaidong have formed a mortal enemy, but who is not attached to Suizhou?" ”

Hu Zongguo glanced at the middle-aged man with a thin face, 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 he said-for-tat: "Suizhou's civil and military generals can descend to Huaidong and get rich, but King Luo can't descend - the truth in this, King Luo is willing to listen to me again?" ”

Seeing that Luo Xiancheng did not express his position, Hu Zongguo continued: "If Song Fu surrenders to Huaidong, the Song clan will surrender the right to surrender the army; The Huaisi army has descended from Liu Miaozhen to Huaidong, but Liu Miaozhen married Lin Lian as a concubine to get self-peace - Liu An'er designed a booby trap for Yue Lengqiu, but Lin Lian has always had strange ambitions, and he didn't know that when Huaisi fought the war, it wasn't Lin Lian who couldn't allow Liu An'er to survive in the world? Even if the Huaisi army surrendered to Huaidong, how many of its soldiers and horses were completely dispersed to Huaidong? Dare to ask King Luo, are you willing to surrender the military power after surrendering to Huaidong, or are you willing to let Huaidong slaughter? ”

"......," Hu Zongguo said, "Lin Lian's son has always been ambitious, and he wants to stand on his own behalf of the Yuan clan, and it is difficult to tolerate King Luo." However, the Northern Yan is very different: the people of the Northern Yan tribe are sparse, and they suddenly won the world, but it is difficult to drive the people to govern it, and it is inevitable to carry out the policy of splitting the soil and dividing the Han to control the Han. ”

"Lord Hu said this, presumably someone went to Yuanzhou to tell Huang Binghao. Let's ask Master Hu, how does Huang Binghao answer the luxury family? "Luo Xiancheng has been fat for the past two years, but his brain is quite good.

said a thousand, said ten thousand, Luo Xiancheng was unwilling to come forward, for fear of cutting off the retreat in Jiangning, so that it would be out of control in the end.

Of course, Luo Xiancheng's eyes on Huang Binghao in Yuanzhou can't be miscalculated-if Huang Binghao has a storm in Yuanzhou, and can contain the forty or fifty thousand elites of the Huaidong Army in the hinterland of Jiangxi, the effect is even more effective than Suizhou's direct dispatch of troops to Nanyang.

If Huang Binghao descended to Huaidong in a proper manner and did not make trouble for Huaidong in the hinterland of Jiangxi, then Huaidong would be able to gather at most seventy or eighty thousand elites in Luzhou to support Xinyang and Nanyang at any time. Luo Xiancheng is not sure that he will be able to take Nanyang down with the Northern Yan army in the north and south, so he will definitely be able to take Nanyang.

If the Northern Yan 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 - on this day, it would be too late and useless for Luo Xiancheng to cry.
