Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 140: Huaixi Room

(The second is a bit late)

At dusk on the 24th, Luo Xiancheng was like a trapped beast in Lishan.

Lishan is located between the hills and mountains of Huaishan Mountain, about 90 miles northeast of Suizhou and about 100 miles northeast of Lishan. The town was prosperous, and the merchants were gathered together. Later, it was destroyed by the war, and it became depressed and sparsely populated.

Lishan has access to Xinyang, Luoshan, Huangchuan and other counties in the north of Huaishan. Qutan River, the main tributary of the upper reaches of Shahe, originates from Fufeng Mountain in the northwest of Lishan. Luo Xiancheng manages the defense line at the northern foot of Huaishan, so Lishan is named after Lishan. In order to support the base, its camp is located. Luo Xiancheng wanted to manage Lishan, and he also wanted to retreat into Huaishan to gain a foothold when Suizhou could not defend it. At this time, he had 50,000 troops and horses in the northeastern Huai Mountain, and 30,000 troops and horses were scattered in the villages at the northern foot of Huaishan. Peripheral defense Huaixi and Fengli coalition forces entered Huaishan, and 20,000 elite soldiers of the direct line were stationed in Lishan.

In the later period, Luo Xiancheng regarded Suizhou as his own land control, and he also paid attention to restraining military discipline, so that people's livelihood in Suizhou was restored, and Li Shan also recovered some vigor. When Luo Xiancheng was stationed here, 20,000 troops and more troops were stationed on the northern front. The logistics and supplies all passed through Lishan. There were more than 1,000 porters who traveled through Lishan every day. The traveling merchants seeking livelihood and the mountain people who came out of the deep mountains and old forests to exchange goods made Li Shan become deformed and prosperous, even far beyond that before the war...

The Lishan Camp included the original Lishan Town, and there were five large camps with logging fences, with a range of more than ten miles in depth. The mountain people are mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Hanwangpo in the north of Lishan.

At dusk, a drizzle rained, the rain was as fine as fog, and the mountains around Lishan were enveloped in mist. Although the Huaidong and Huaixi troops were far away from Lishan, the wind and the grass were full of soldiers on Lishan. They were all blocked by heavy troops.

There is a simple tea shed on the north side of Hanwangpo, which is facing the Nanying Yuanmen of the Suizhou Army. On weekdays, some generals or civil servants in the Nanying will come to drink tea, and the business is very lively. Now the situation is bad, and the Huaidong Army actually has a large number of soldiers and horses. Drilling out of Chaishan, Luo Wenhu descended and Suizhou City was destroyed. Which of the civil and military generals in the military camp is still in the mood to come out to drink tea, and the business travelers from the military camp are also in danger. The business of the tea shed is naturally cold. pole.

On the evening of the 24th, there were only two mountain people in the tea shed, with their trouser legs rolled up and their dark legs exposed, squatting on the bench and eating wheat cakes with warm tea.

At this time, a man came out from Nanying on horseback, braved the drizzle and came to the tea shed. The tea shed staff greeted him and went out: "Master Yin, you still don't forget to come and drink tea today!" Luo Xiancheng established himself as Changle in Suizhou. The king, who was divided into hundreds of officials, also imitated court clothes to sew Changle official uniforms, and later surrendered to Beiyan. Looking at the official uniform of the Suizhou Army Tsing Yi worn by Mr. Yin, we knew that he was a middle-level literate official, but he came out of the barracks without any accompanying staff.

Sir Yin glanced over the tea shed, and seeing that there were no outsiders, he walked directly to the two mountain residents who were sitting on the bench without sitting and eating wheat cakes, and said in a low voice, "This is the situation, Luo Xiancheng is here. After seeing everyone for two days, I became suspicious, and when I summoned the generals, my first thought was to send someone to Hanwangpo to check if there were any enemy spies infiltrating, why are you still here?"

"Luo Xiancheng is arresting the two of us. At this time, he still has the heart to tear us apart? Besides, Luo Xiancheng urged so hard, and the search by the Suizhou army did not become severe!" An older mountaineer smiled slightly. , doesn't seem to be worried about the Suizhou Army's search for the Lishan Business Travel in the past two days.

In fact, it was Luo Xiancheng's madness to search out and kill all the spies and secret rooms lurking in Lishan. Luo Xiancheng's generals began to make a living for themselves and did not dare to do too much. These two The day's raids tend to be loud thunder and little rain.

The elder Shanmin motioned to the tea shed staff to keep watch outside, and then he sat up and looked at Luo Xiancheng's marching left Sima Yin Xiangshang, and asked, "Zhong Rong and Wang Xian'er both fled to Lishan yesterday, what is Luo Xiancheng's reaction? ?"

"What else can I do?" Yin Xiangshang smiled bitterly and said, "Luo Wenhu surrendered to Huaidong on the 19th, but Luo Xiancheng had just returned from the northern patrol back to Lishan, and was still confused about Huaidong's ambush in Chaishan. I felt that even the news of the fall of Fancheng was not transmitted to Suizhou in time due to the blockade of the Huaidong Army in Zaoyang. After sending someone to Lishan to report the betrayal of Wang Xiang and Huaiqi crossing the border, Luo Xiancheng realized that the big thing was not good. You also know that Luo Xiancheng was indecisive and lacking in haste, and no one could analyze the situation for him, although he realized that the big thing was not good. Wonderful, but did not make a decisive decision, and even delayed until the early morning of the 21st to decide to send 3,000 troops from Lishan to the south to join forces with Luo Xianyi to retake Lishan, and did not clearly understand how serious the situation was. Before the 3,000 reinforcements had gone far, news came that Luo Xianyi's reinforcements had defeated the stealing camp in Luodian. The 3,000 reinforcements had withdrawn, and Luo Xiancheng wanted to send troops from Lishan to strengthen the defense of Suizhou. After a long time, it was heard that Tang Fuguan took advantage of the collapse and seized the outer city of Suizhou, leaving Ma Zhen and Luo Xianyi to lead three or four thousand remnants of the army to retreat into the Changle Palace to resist stubbornly. , you said that besides killing a few people to vent, what other reaction can Luo Xiancheng have?"

The younger mountain people grinned and said, "After Huaidong entered Jiangning, he sent people to Suizhou to recruit security, but I haven't seen how much Luo Xiancheng is afraid of Huaidong?"

"At that time, Huaidong was still far from Suizhou—a fierce tiger was far away in the mountains, so what was there to be afraid of? At this time, I suddenly saw this fierce tiger biting its fangs into the eyeballs, and it was not frightened. Lost your soul?" Yin Xiangshang said with a wry smile, "Luo Xiancheng didn't know how many soldiers from Huaidong had penetrated into the hinterland of Jingxiang at first, but the news from the scouts from the horse-hunting scouts only said that a large group of armored soldiers came out of Chaishan from the west, and then went out to the west. When he went inside, he accidentally bumped into the blockade of Huaidong. In just two or three days, he lost dozens of elite horses. Luo Xiancheng became irritable and frantic in the past two days. In the past two days, seven or eight people were caned and executed for minor mistakes. The record family Wang Chengxiong persuaded Luo Xiancheng to surrender to Huaidong yesterday, and immediately told Luo Xiancheng to suspect that he was a spy of Huaidong. "

"What's the matter?" Seeing that Yin Xiangshang was still in the mood to sell out, the elder Shanmin asked in his tone.

"..." Yin Xiangshang said, "Next, Luo Xiancheng was afraid that Wang Chengxiong was really a man from Huaidong. He held Wang Chengxiong's **** corpse and called Lang Zhong to treat him. Lang Zhong couldn't save the people, so he killed two Lang Zhong in anger for Luo Xiancheng, you guys. What is Luo Xiancheng's reaction?"

The two mountain people looked at each other and realized that Luo Xiancheng was already frightened to the core of Huaidong at this time, like a beast that had fallen into a pit and had no way to escape, becoming sensitive and manic.

Although Zhong Rong and Wang Xian'er said that they had led their remnants to flee from Xiaochang yesterday, the news they brought back made Luo Xiancheng desperate: hundreds of thousands of troops on the front lines of Hanjin and Huangpi were under the full attack of the main force of the Huaidong Army's southern line. The whole line collapsed day and night.

The hundreds of thousands of elites of the Huaidong Army on the southern front were besieging and destroying the troops at the southern foot of Dahong Mountain, and they could go north at any time. Luo Xiancheng not only did not dare to send troops to retake Suizhou City at this time, as the Huaidong Army came out of Chaishan. The ambush troops quickly advanced westward, and successively wiped out Ajige's troops in the east of Fancheng and Baihetan, and deterred the reinforcements of Chen Zhihu and Tu'an from the north to the north of Xinye. Luo Xiancheng found that he had fled west from the southern foot of the northern Huaishan Mountain. hopeless...

"What's the reaction of Zhong Rong and Wang Xian'er?" the older mountain person asked again.

"Zhong Rong and Wang Xian'er are still calm, but I've only seen them both side by side. I really don't know what he's thinking."

"Master Yin, please find a way to bring us into the barracks tonight," said the older mountain man.

"Tonight?" Yin Xiangshang asked in horror, "How did it happen tonight? Luo Xiancheng is manic and restless. He wants to let him know that you are Huaixi's lobbyists. If there is any disagreement, he will draw his sword first. Wait a few days, and when Luo Xiancheng's mood settles down, it's better for you to come forward?"

"The main force of the Huaidong Army will go north and will enter Fancheng first to pursue the enemy on the west bank of the Han River, so we still have a few days." At this time, a middle-aged scribe walked out from behind the curtain and said directly, "If the In the past few days, when the main force of the Huaidong Army moves east to Suizhou and encircles Lishan, then we will no longer have the opportunity to report to the Suizhou Army..."

Yin Xiangshang Muran was startled when he saw a strange middle-aged scribe walking out of the curtain.

"Master Yin, this is Mr. Chen Jingrong Chen." The older mountain person introduced.

"Oh!" Yin Xiangshang stood up to salute and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Chen."

Chen Jingrong's position in Huaixi is just like Gao Zongting's position in Huaidong. Chen Jingrong is Dong Yuan's first adviser. Yin Xiangshang never thought that such an important person as Chen Jingrong would secretly come to Lishan today.

Even if Chen Jingrong came forward in person, Yin Xiangshang still felt that it was not the right time to meet Luo Xiancheng directly, so he discouraged: "Luo Xiancheng is frightened and afraid of Huaidong at this time, Mr. Chen is afraid that it is not the right time to come forward..."

"Luo Xiancheng, I haven't seen him for the time being, Sir Yin can arrange for me to meet Zhong Rong!" Chen Jingrong walked to the tea table, sat down on the table, and said, "Zhong Rong does not surrender to Huaidong in Tiemen Mountain and Xiaochang, it is not him. How loyal he is to Luo Xiancheng, but after Wang Xiang joined Huaidong, he instigated Luo Xiancheng to allow Chen Hansan and Beiyan's foundation, and Huaidong must have a clear understanding. Rong..."

Just as Huaidong had already moved his thoughts on Suizhou and sent Zhou Bin to come to Suizhou to counter the king, Dong Yuan also had his thoughts on Suizhou early on. Dong Yuan entered Huaixi, Huaixi to the east and south are the forces of Huaidong, and to the north is the remnant of Henan controlled by Yanhu, and can only consider the development of Jingxiang in the southwest, why not make a few moves in Suizhou first Dark son?

Luo Xiancheng's marching left Sima Yin Xiangshang was the highest-ranking official that Huaixi bought in the Suizhou army. This opportunity was fleeting for Huaixi, Chen Jingrong personally went out to Lishan, and naturally he would not keep Yin Xiangshang's dark line.

Yin Xiangshang saw that Chen Jingrong was not going to see Luo Xiancheng, but planned to attack Luo Xiancheng's general Zhong Rong first, knowing that it would be impossible for Zhong Rong to completely block his way in Huaixi, he nodded and said: " Then I feel wronged that Mr. Chen pretended to be my entourage and entered the barracks..."

The tea shed was equipped with a set of all military uniforms, and the older mountain people stayed behind to help. Chen Jingrong and the younger mountain people entered the southern camp as Yin Xiangshang's entourage.

About to enter the southern camp, more than a dozen cavalry Hu soldiers rushed to the base of the camp, exhausted, Yin Xiangshang said to Chen Jingrong, who was close behind him: "The routed soldiers who escaped from Heishigou, Meng An Chan was beaten there before noon this morning..."

Chen Jingrong nodded to show that he knew what happened.

No matter how well the Huaidong Army blocked the passage to the east of Suizhou, it was inevitable that some fish would break out of the siege~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Many of them were defeated in Heishigou and crossed Quehui Mountain and Baiyun Mountain to the northwest of Huaishan to flee to Meng An. Cicada's remnant enemy.

Chen Jingrong and the others had already seen more than a hundred cavalry Hu soldiers fleeing towards Lishan, but they couldn't make Luo Xiancheng feel better, because these fish that slipped through the net brought Luo Xiancheng's despairing news: Meng Anchan's main force was in Heishigou. They were defeated and almost wiped out. The life and death of Meng Anchan and other generals were unknown. The Zaoyang general abandoned the city and fled north. The eight hundred defenders defeated the Huaidong Army at the southwest corner of Tongbai Mountain and crossed the upper reaches of the Baihe River. The defender Liang Wensheng was shot dead on the spot. , Zaoyang sink. The scout from the direction of Suizhou came back to report that the sound of fighting in Suizhou city faded in the afternoon, and at the same time, eight or nine thousand armored soldiers left the west city of Suizhou and headed for Zaoyang...

However, the fleeing Hu Qi was different from the rout soldiers who fled before dusk. Four of them rushed to the front of the camp and drew out the golden arrow token: "The Governor of the Western Front, Etu Rongmu The Prince's Golden Arrow Command, there is a secret order to quickly pass on the Xiangyang King Luo Xiancheng..."

Chen Jingrong and Yin Xiangshang were startled at first and secretly thought, Ye Jiluorong was not in a hurry to flee north on the west bank of the Han River. At this time, the secret envoy was sent to risk passing through the Huaidong Army's control area to deliver orders. Force Luo Xiancheng to lead his troops to break through in the direction of Nanyang?

Chen Jingrong thought about the possibility. Forcing Luo Xiancheng to lead his troops to break out of the siege in the direction of Nanyang would surely contain the main force of the Huaidong Army for a period of time, and let Ye Ji Luorong's troops on the west bank of the Han River gain more time to retreat north. Is it just that Luo Xiancheng is so stupid? If Luo Xiancheng was in a panic, and in order to save his own life, he sacrificed all the 50,000 or 60,000 troops and horses to escape to Nanyang in the west, wouldn't Huaixi be empty with a basket of water?

What Chen Jingrong never expected was that Ye Jiluorong sent the secret envoy to help Huaixi, and sent the secret envoy to assassinate Luo Xiancheng. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
