At the beginning of April, Shu was warm, and one day was the same.

At this time, the weather is gradually getting warmer, the dry branches have not yet fallen, the tender green branches have grown, and the lazy merchants on the street have cheered up and begun to move towards the goal of the new year.

Ordinary vendors have set up tents in a staggered manner, playing tricks, measuring words and divination, making noise all day long, and there are shouts and selling sounds, and snacks and delicacies from all over the country have attracted guests to stop and stop.

At noon, after the rain, the sky is clear, and Wenyang Mansion City is adjacent to a street in the north city, and many restaurants have begun to be busy.

In the past two years, due to the peace of the two counties, commerce has gradually prospered.

I saw a restaurant, with two bronze lions at the door and a two-story building with an elegant interior, which was also the time when people came and went.

The aroma of wine and food permeates the air, which is extremely attractive.

The second floor is a window seat.

On the table were a few side dishes and a glass of wine, some of which were prepared with great care, delicious and expensive.

There are only two people at this table, and they are sitting opposite each other at this time, it is Song Han and Song Heng.

Song Hanxian was thinking about things, holding a glass of light drink leisurely, and looking out of the window with a long look.

Song Heng sat opposite, drinking with his head bored.

"Second brother, you see, they have come. At this time, Song Han, who had been looking out the window, suddenly spoke.

At the same time, as if to respond to his words, there was a commotion outside.

"Are you going out of the city?" Song Heng suddenly paused when he heard this, put the cup in his hand on the table, and turned his head to look outside.

Due to its excellent location, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the street just by looking down.

The street where pedestrians came and went, but at this time it had been cleared by a group of soldiers, and the middle of the road was empty, and in a burst of scolding, pedestrians avoided both sides.

Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps gradually became louder.

The purpose of re-entry is the soldier who has passed by.

I saw a group of spearmen lined up, all of them with serious expressions, holding their spears on their shoulders, their waists straight, their eyes not squinting, walking with steps, and wearing gold paint, majestic in the sun, which caused the onlookers to shout softly.

The back team is a group of sword soldiers, who also have straight waists, do not squint, and walk step by step, only listening to the neat footsteps, not chaotic at all.

From the restaurant, a piece of soldiers, a flag for every 100 people, but the so-called flags are continuous, under the banner, densely packed with generals, more than 10,000 soldiers, boundless.

Even if it comes out of the mansion directly, there are only 5,000 troops, it is not trivial, it is connected from end to end, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance.

Obviously, for the Wenyang Army, with this majesty, the people are still extremely pleased and proud, and cheer from time to time.

Song Han and Song Heng stood on the city tower and looked at it from afar, in the team, there were generals who were supported, rode through the horses, looked at it for a while, but did not see Wang Hongyi, the general of Dingyuan.

Thinking of Wang Hongyi's special identity, it is obvious that he will not be easily exposed in front of everyone. The two no longer deliberately searched.

At this time, there were also many people, at various points, staring at the rolling army.

Song Han looked at the banner carefully, for a long time, and said loudly: "In addition to the black-clothed guards, the four capitals newly built by the Volunteer Army, each with a thousand people, have already been dispatched. ”

"Big brother, this time I set off, I will fight against the Chengdu army, and it will definitely be a disaster for Wenyang and Changding counties to let Wei Lao Thief occupy Hongze. Song Heng continued to take a sip of the cup and said, "I don't know what the outcome will be this time." ”

Song Han stroked his beard and said with some concern: "Look at his army, although Wei Cundong is a general, he is not as good as my son-in-law, but my son-in-law's soldiers, only 20,000, it is said that Wei Cundong dispatched 40,000 this time, I don't know what the situation is." ”

In this situation, people with insight understand that it is necessary to go through a vicious battle, but as long as the victory is obtained, this sacrifice is necessary, and it is very simple to be merciful and not to be in charge of the army.

"Big brother, if the general can win, Wei Cundong will kill seventy-one mouths of my Song family, and this grudge can be resolved this time, and I will punish his nine clans!"

"The nine clans may not be, the three clans are necessary!" Song Han said with a sneer.

Participating in this intelligence gathering, they knew very well in their hearts that the defenders of Hongze Town would not be able to support it for a few days.

They are not clear about the agreement reached between Du Gongzhen and Wang Hongyi, but compared to the possible growth of Wang Hongyi's power this time, the two are actually more concerned about the outcome of this decisive battle.

The hatred of destroying the door is not shared.

This is especially true in the eyes of the children of such a great clan.

"Big brother, in terms of numbers, the Chengdu army is indeed a little more, but the losses in the long-term battle are also very large, and the strength of the Wenyang army is very strong, perhaps, this time, the general can really avenge this blood and blood for my Song family!"

Among the seventy-one people who died in the tragedy, there were two concubines and several concubines of Song Heng, and his hatred for Wei Cundong was no less than that of his eldest brother Song Hanlai, who was the head of the family.

Song Han thought further: "Yes, Wang Hongyi is a generation of heroes, in just a few years, he swallowed Changding County and destroyed the Li family like an iron bucket operated by Wenyang County, and gave him a few more years, and this Shu land may not be taken into his hands." In this battle, if there is no accident, we must warn the Song family to put away other thoughts for the time being, just one mind to assist him, with You'er's mother and son, are you still afraid that the Song family will not be able to rise again?"

"You'er's side is reassuring, it's just ......" Song Heng sighed faintly when he thought of his nephew who was getting more and more gloomy. I have something in my heart, but it's not easy to say.

Song Han heard what the second brother meant, and said with a sigh: "Second brother, I have already thought about my son's affairs. Some time ago, he did a little excessive, and now he has been somewhat restrained, this aspect is not too worrying, when the door is destroyed, the people in his room have been affected, and they should also choose a virtuous lady to marry, you can inquire and see if there is a suitable woman in Shudi. ”

"Please rest assured, the younger brother will definitely handle this matter. Song Heng also felt that his nephew was going to adopt his surname, and he used to think that his qualifications were good, but in the past year or two, he has become more and more unbearable.

If this continues, what future does the Song family have to speak of?

If it really doesn't work, give up on him, let him marry more wives and concubines, have more children and grandchildren, and cultivate the next generation as soon as possible.

After the second day, thick smoke and dust rose from the distant horizon of Changshou County.

Han Liang, the commander of Changshou County, stood on the high place of the city wall, looked down, and saw a group of cavalry rushing towards the county seat. These cavalrymen were dressed in armor and carried a large banner of hunting and flying.

When the cavalry arrived outside the city, they inspected for a while, and then they lined up solemnly, and several horsemen returned, and after a while, they saw a piece of red flags constantly gathering, each flag was a battalion, five battalions and a guard, and the guard flag was even more high.

I saw that the horn kept sounding, and there were constantly battalion guards marching in formation, slowly approaching the city, and concentrating not far away.

With such a majesty, Han Liang couldn't help but change color, and he could hear the heavy panting of the generals beside him.

The army stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the county seat, and at this time, the squares were already densely packed, and they barely took the trouble to count, and they knew that there were more than 10,000 people, and one of them was a huge red banner with the word king on it, which was extremely attractive.

From the top of the city, under the banner, there were densely packed with soldiers of Wang Zhen dressed in red, and their shining blades shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

An army of 20,000 people, connected from end to end, even if they stand on a high place, they can only barely see the tail.

Han Liang, the commander of the capital, stood on the city tower and looked out, and when he saw the huge red banner with the word "Wang", he knew that Wang Hongyi had led his troops to conquer in person.

Since Wang Hongyi knew that he had obtained the luck of fire virtue, he asked people to use red flags, and according to Zhu Yuanzhang's situation, he made the same battle clothes, stipulating that all battle clothes must be red.

After Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the fire, he stipulated that the army was red, and so did Wang Hongyi, in order to be lucky.

In fact, at this time, the army was moving forward, looking at the qi, the red qi lingered, and it was the army of fire and virtue.

At this time, in front of Wang Hongyi, all the generals stood solemnly, Ding Huchen, Zhang Yunxin, He Yi, He Sheng, Fan Liuhai and other generals were all around.

Behind these people, there are dense elite guards.

The generals stared at the county seat together, carefully looking at the banner above.

After a long time, Wang Hongyi said loudly: "Where is the messenger?"

At this time, Du Gongzhen's messenger hurriedly came out of the queue and said, "General, the foreign minister is here." ”

"Since your lord has asked me to come to the rescue, and this county is owned by this town, you should quickly go and persuade me with a letter, and come out immediately to pay respects, otherwise, in half an hour, I will lead the army to attack." ”

"Yes, General, the minister will go. So saying, the messenger went out, and after a while, he came to the front of the city and shouted.

"Father, what is the matter now?" At this time, a young officer whispered to Han Liang, the commander of the capital, and Han Liang snorted coldly, very unhappy that the lord betrayed himself.

Although Du Gongzhen did not say that Han Liang would surrender, this Changshou County was his foundation, and giving it up was equivalent to giving up the foundation, so he snorted coldly and looked at it intently.

Han Liang was wearing heavy armor, about forty years old, and he was full of evil spirits.

Surrounded by several sturdy tooth soldiers, they patrolled the surroundings steadily, the iron leaves on their bodies shining cold in the sun.

I saw a large camp of several miles, densely packed, and there was a messenger of his own lord below, after sneering, he showed a solemn demeanor, and finally sighed, and said, "Switch out of the city!"

"Father!" the young officer shouted a little unwillingly, it will be his inheritance from now on!

"Hey, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, the commander has already taken away one of my guards, there are only a thousand people in this city, how can these thousand people be the opponent of these 20,000 people? Commander Han Liang sighed, and his tone was also unwilling.

Hearing this, the young officer was speechless.

After a while, I saw the city gate open widely, and a group of people poured out, led by Han Liang, the commander of the city, and he finally surrendered the city.

Seeing such a situation, both the messenger and Wang Hongyi's side breathed a sigh of relief.
