Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 73

Songyang City, northwest of Xuchang, was just above the fortresses from Xuchang to Luoyang and Ruzhou to Luoyang; after February, Dong Yuan transferred Xiao Kuian’s troops to guard it, but he did not expect that he wanted to defeat Lin’s move at this time. The road to Chen Zhihu during his escape to the west was blocked.

Seeing Liu Tingzhou bringing wine for the reward, Xiao Kuian straightened his crown after the case of the head of the big tent. Looking at the blue wine in the wine glass on the case, his heart was full of desolation. He didn’t expect that at this stage, Liu Tingzhou still wanted to trick himself into drinking it. This cup of poisonous wine will make the Songyang army collapse, and will not stop them from fleeing west…

Xiao Kui An Xin was as cold as snow, kneeling before the case, weeping: “Liu Gong treats me with a kindness like a mountain, this wine Kui An should not have refused, but Songyang generals and his family are closely related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, Kui An I dare not drink this wine…”

Yuan Jinsheng came to Songyang Town with Liu Tingzhou to enjoy the wine, and saw Xiao Kuian poking through the mystery of the wine with one bite, and he was horrified: Xiao Kuian knew that the glass was poisonous wine? !

Yuan Jinsheng put his hand on the saber at his waist, how could the general Songyang, who was armed with armor by Xiao Kuian’s side, all stared at him? It seems that as soon as he draws his sword, more than a dozen people will chop him into pieces. Yuan Jinsheng looks at Liu Tingzhou in despair and frustration, only hoping that Liu Tingzhou can still shock the scene.

To Xiao Kuian, Liu Tingzhou was ashamed and ashamed, but his shame did not suppress his final ruthlessness. He stared at the wine before the case for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter, saying: “You also know that I treat you kindly. It is as heavy as a mountain, you also know that you should not refuse this wine, why do you suspect me because of the wine?” He suddenly took the tin pot at the corner of the table, poured it into his stomach, and threw the remaining tin pot into the tent. , said to Yuan Jinsheng and the two squires accompanying him, “Let’s go!” There seemed to be unresolved grief and anger in his heart, and he seemed to leave with disappointment to Xiao Kuian.

Xiao Kuian watched Liu Tingzhou leave the tent like this, and then stared blankly at the wine before the case. He was also confused for a while: Could it be that he misunderstood Liu Tingzhou? Hesitantly, he picked up the wine glass and leaned in front of his nose to smell the wine.

“General Xiao, you must not drink this wine lightly!” Chen Xiaoyan just took Xiao Kuian to drink, and hurriedly walked from behind the screen to stop him, and said to the general next to him, “Go to the camp and catch a live dog…”

After a while, the guards caught a black dog.

Chen Xiaoyan opened the dog’s mouth and poured the clear blue wine in the wine glass.

The black dog seemed to be frightened, so he let go of his hands and fled outside the tent. It seemed that he was fine at all – Xiao Kuian just thought he had misunderstood Liu Tingzhou, stood up and went to chase after Liu Tingzhou and others who had left in anger. He saw the black dog who had just been drunk twitching and foaming in the open space in front of the tent.

Xiao Kuian stood there in a daze, and only then did he know that it was really poisonous wine. He never thought that Liu Tingzhou would not hesitate to drink most of the pot of poisonous wine at the end, but also tricked himself into drinking this glass of poisonous wine. …

The general next to him asked, “Master Liu and the others have just left the camp, did they send someone to chase them?”

“Forget it,” Xiao Kuian shook his head weakly, and had no intention of sending someone to chase Yuan Jinsheng and others who had escaped from Ma Nan. He thought that Liu Tingzhou was afraid that he had died of poisoning at this time, and he wanted all the generals to follow him. After the long table with only one empty wine glass left, he sat down, looked at the generals standing in the tent, and asked, “Every general knows about the destruction of the Dengzhou Naval Division of Yanlu, all the generals who want to come here, where will the Songyang Army go? What are your plans?”

All the generals looked at Chen Xiaoyan—Chen Xiaoyan was a book boy of Gao Zongting, but the book boy back then was also a man who had passed his old age. After the Qingzhou War, Chen Xiaoyan moved the most frequently on behalf of Huaidong and the Huaixi army. The Songyang army who escaped from the Huaixi army was not unfamiliar with Chen Xiaoyan – just did not expect that the commander would hide Chen Xiaoyan in the barracks. , has been hiding from them until now.

Anyone with a slight wink understands that Chen Xiaoyan should be here on behalf of Huaidong—the news that the North Yan Dengzhou navy was destroyed and the sea defense line completely collapsed in just three or five days, the generals of the Songyang Army. Also like being hit with a sap.

Not everyone has the desire to be loyal to the monarch for the country and to help the imperial family, and not everyone has the ambition to seal the king, split the soil, and seal the heir. ——In the past, there were all kinds of open and secret battles, and it could also be said to be a faction battle, the battle of Jingxiang, Dong Yuan made a mistake, and Chen Zhihu rushed to help Nanyang from Queshan, which is to pass through the Zhengyang defense area. At that time, Xiao Kuian had only 10,000 soldiers to defend Zhengyang, so he would definitely not be able to stop Chen Zhihu from crossing the border. Even if they had no intention of letting Chen Zhihu cross the border, the bad debt and the pile of **** couldn’t be erased from their heads…

Most people have no choice but to go with the flow.

Even if Dong Yuan publicly fell into the forest, many generals of the Songyang Army were reluctant, and they could only watch themselves being dragged onto the warship. Can they say “no” in Dong Yuan’s eyes, can they count on the Huaidong Army Can you open the Internet when you call in the future? Of course, there are also some people who may have extravagant hopes in their hearts that they can really fight against Huaidong and get the riches and honors of a marquis and a nobleman—this kind of thinking itself is intricate and complicated, and the generals of the Songyang army can only follow them deeper and deeper, unable to extricate themselves.

Therefore, I was shocked to hear that the entire army of the Dengzhou Naval Division in Beiyan was destroyed, and the sea-locking defense line was destroyed like a sandy tower. For the generals of the Songyang Army who dragged the Xuchang warship, they were also extremely terrified, and they were desperate and could not see the way ahead. can be found.

However, Chen Xiaoyan, on behalf of Huaidong, had been hiding in the camp for Xiao Kuian for a long time. For the generals of the Songyang Army, it was undoubtedly a great light in a desperate situation.

Chen Xiaoyan will naturally not come to Songyang for no reason. Chen Xiaoyan came to Songyang alone, which means that Huaidong still has the intention of recruiting Songyang army, and there is room to sit down and talk…

Xiao Kuian saw the expressions of the generals in the army, and sighed in his heart: Knowing that this is also what people want, and the general situation is hard to change, according to the long case, he slowly said: “Master Chen is no stranger to coming here, and he is here. Yang is under the secret order of the privy envoy and the deputy envoy of the privy envoy, Mr. Yue, and he is the general of Songyang, and all members are incorporated into the Changhuai Army, ranking the third town division. Although the privy envoy and the deputy envoy of the privy secret, Mr. Yue, appointed me as the commander. The third town of the Huai Army is a divisional army…”

Speaking of which, the generals of Songyang showed their love, not only were they not guilty, but they could also receive the same treatment as the two towns of Guoyang and Zhengyang. This is undoubtedly the result that everyone dared not expect before, and Xiao Kuian did not wait for the words to finish. The eyes they looked at Chen Xiaoyan began to be filled with kindness and enthusiasm.

Xiao Kuian did not stop talking, and continued: “Since the battle of General Songyang since the battle of Jingxiang, all the military services have not been successful, all of which are my Xiao Kuian’s incompetence in leading the army and the inability to manage the army. Your lord will temporarily take charge of the Songyang generals on behalf of Xiao, and ask the privy envoy to choose another talented person…”

Chen Xiaoyan was also slightly surprised. He didn’t expect Xiao Kuian to be so disheartened, but without Xiao Kuian’s help, how could he lead the Songyang Army to seal Dong Yuan’s way of escape?

“General Xiao, the privy envoy has a lot of trust in you, knowing that you are dedicated to serving the country and the people; Liu Tingzhou drinks poisoned wine himself, and he really wants to make money for you; if he dies from the poison, he really deserves it…” Chen Xiaoyan advised. .

“Liu Tingzhou harbors evil intentions, and there is more to die for.” The generals in Songyang also persuaded. Even though many of them were promoted by Liu Tingzhou to become generals, Liu Tingzhou still wanted to drag them into the bottomless depths at this time. The quagmire of the quagmire, En also turned into hatred, there is no pity that Liu Tingzhou drank most of the poisonous wine in the tent just now.

“Master Chen, you don’t have to persuade me,” Liu Tingzhou did not hesitate to call himself poisonous wine, but also tricked himself into killing himself, which made Xiao Kuian’s heart cool, but he did not intend to serve as a general again, he also understood Chen Xiaoyan’s mind, just said , “Dong Yuan Ruoxi fled to captives, Xiao did not dare to get out of the incident, Songyang generals will definitely follow the lead of Chen, and will not violate orders a little…” He looked up at the generals in the tent and asked, ” If Dong Yuan flees to the west and surrenders, it will also be an opportunity for you to redeem your merits; can you be willing to temporarily be under the control of Lord Chen, serve the country and fight the enemy bravely?”

The generals hesitated for a long time, knowing that although Xiao Kuian wanted to take all the sins on himself, they wanted to accept it for the Huaidong Army, and wanted to get the ending that wouldn’t be too bad in the end, and stopped Dong Yuan from fleeing to the west. A rare opportunity, seeing that Xiao Kuian’s mind has been decided, and he did not dare to persuade Xiao Kuian to stay as a general, for fear that Huaidong would suspect that they still wanted to stand on the mountain, they all knelt together before bowing to the tent, and swore allegiance to Chen Xiaoyan, who represented the Huaidong Army~www. mtlnovel.com~ said: “I am willing to obey the military order of Lord Chen, serve the country, and fight the enemy bravely…”

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

Yuan Jinsheng took the body of Liu Tingzhou, who died of poisoning, and fled back to Xuchang in a hurry.

Looking at Liu Tingzhou’s dead body, and the Songyang army sent troops to occupy several key points in the north and south of Songshan to contact Hezhongfu, Dong Yuan, Yuan Guizheng, Ren Jiwei and others were all desperate.

Although Songyang’s army and horses were sandwiched between Xuchang and Hezhongfu, Xuchang’s soldiers and horses and Hezhong’s soldiers and horses were affected by the war in Dengzhou at this time, and the army’s heart was shaken. Morale to attack Songyang?

In particular, the Songyang Army took the initiative to send troops to block the Jinqu strongholds in the north and south of the Songshan Mountain, which showed that the Songyang Army did not simply want to flee westward with them. ——Maybe Huaidong had already sent someone to contact Xiao Kuian secretly.

Xiao Kuian came from a hard labor background, and being able to sit on the seat of the leader of a town is related to Liu Tingzhou’s appreciation and promotion, but he also needs to have enough ability and intelligence to achieve…

“You can only go to Funiu Mountain!” Yuan Guizheng said.

Scattered between Shaanxi and Henan, there are many mountains and mountains, and Funiu Mountain is only the first pass. Although there are also Chai Dao beasts in the mountains, how can tens of thousands of troops, family members and heavy vehicles of a considerable size pass through?

In addition, if Xuchang moves here, the defense forces on the Beiru River and Yingshui front line will collapse if they give a little impact to the Changhuai Army and the Changshan Army. It may take only two or three days to escape from the west of Funiu Mountain. How many people can escape into Funiu Mountain in two or three days, five thousand, three thousand, two thousand or less? I’m afraid that even the generals and children can’t bring them all. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
