Chapter 157: Watching from the Wall

Taiyuan City, the city gate is open.

Li Xin led 200 people and set up a camp on the outskirts of the city, and torches were lit on the pillars around the tent. It was very empty, there was a bonfire burning in the middle, and it was not cold in the tent.

All of them were armored generals, representing the various families of the Hedong heroes, and even the Jiang family had people coming.

Their own soldiers are all outside, anyway, they are not the patriarchs of the major families, it is pointless to kill one of them, they all come to the meeting on behalf of the master behind them, and there is really no need to bring a lot of people.

Most of these people are vassals of the Jiang family, of course, there are also some hostilities of the Jiang family, and when they meet, they inevitably have clear barriers and stand very clearly.

After a while, Li Xin stepped in, and many of the people present had never seen Li Xin, but no one knew his name.

Li Xin's steps were extremely fast, he only brought two generals in, his face was sinking like water, and he couldn't see this person's joy, anger and sorrow.

The people present were also people who were skilled in human feelings, and at this time, they all felt that they couldn't see through the city of this young man in front of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated."

The people in the big tent sat down sparsely, Li Xin didn't sit himself, he looked around, his eyes swept one by one, and everyone felt that they had been watched.

"Please come here today, just for one thing, to save Hedong from catastrophe. Except for the three of us, all of us were from Hedong, and no one wanted to see Hedong reduced to ruins, full of devastation, and no one wanted their own villagers' corpses to be everywhere. ”

The people present all looked at him coldly, what are you Li Xin and us, if you have a little compassion, you will definitely not be able to live in Hedong.

Li Xin was talking, his eyes were constantly scanning, and everyone's expressions were looking? See him all in the eye.

A deep sense of disappointment? It permeated Li Xin's heart, but he didn't change his face at all.

Who can't see clearly? Li Xin at this time? What is the matter with which the people are called?

But they still came, and Li Xin's prestige is still there? No matter how much you slander and abuse this young general behind your back, it is undeniable that his record is there? Why don't you be afraid.

If there's a chance? Even if there is a small chance, if you can avoid being an enemy with Li Xin, everyone present is very happy.

Even if they really want to fight, they don't want to be the first? At least someone has to consume these 10,000 soldiers and horses? Re-enter the battle.

The Jiang family's name is Shen Cheng, and he crossed his arms and sneered: "If General Li doesn't bring troops to come, our east of the river is a clear Haiyan River, where will the war come from?" ”

"When the Mongols set foot, the land fell." Li Xin asked rhetorically, "Do you not know?" The Mongols have already started a war with me, and they are committing a border affair in Datong, right? ”

"That's your business with the Mongols? What is the relationship with our Longmen Mountain, and what is the relationship with Hedong? ”

Li Xin glanced at him coldly? Word by word, he asked, "In this way, do you think Longmen Mountain and Hedong are not the land of Daqi?" You're out, right? Two armies at war? Don't cut it? Since the Jiang family has this idea, I will break Longmen Mountain, capture Jiang Chucai, and escort him to Bianliang! ”

Shen Cheng snorted coldly and walked away, followed by more than a dozen generals sent by the Jiang family's hardcore followers.

There were still nine people left in the big tent, and Li Xin said: "The Jiang family is stubborn, and has decided to be embarrassed by the Mongols. In the next battle in Hedong, please watch them from the wall and do not interfere. The behavior of the Jiang family is tantamount to rebellion, killing the thief, everyone is responsible, if someone ends, I, Li Xin, will be treated as a thief and a fellow party. ”

When he had finished speaking, he turned and walked away, his heart hardened as iron.

Hedong is rotten to the roots, and every wealthy family only cares about their own interests, and it is a short-term interest in the moment.

A fierce battle is inevitable.

---

Bianliang, Chen's Mansion, in the Water Pavilion.

A group of people held together, looked at the Hedong intelligence, and talked about it.

Li Xin's last effort was a little ridiculous in Chen Shou's eyes.

"He doesn't understand people's hearts..."

Chen Shou held a fold in his hand for transmitting information, and said with a smile: "Gathering the princes of Hedong, asking them to give up confrontation with the imperial court for the sake of the homeland is simply a fool's dream. But he's still very good at fighting. ”

That night, Li Xin attacked a stronghold fortress of the Jiang family, although it was not very large, but there were several warehouses of grain hidden in it, and there was also an iron-striking workshop, which was specially used to produce blades for Jiang Chucai.

Although it is not a very large stronghold, the accuracy of the intelligence investigation makes Jiang Chucai very jealous.

If he knows all his strongholds, he will definitely not be able to afford the loss.

Chen Shou understood Jiang Chucai's pain, just like his Taoist temple was taken to someone, and he was definitely angry.

The others in the water pavilion have a lively mentality about this war.

However, Chen Shou, whom they were loyal to, was actually a participant in the battle of Hedong, and he provided Li Xin with enough baggage and grain and grass.

From the very beginning, Chen Shou has been building his own war machine, this machine lurking in Kaifeng Mansion already contains very amazing power, if Chen Shou launches, he can quickly become a well-equipped and capable of fighting a hero.

Now, Chen Shou has revealed the corner of this machine, and it is more than enough to support Li Xin.

Seeing the results of his "extensive accumulation of grain", Chen Shou was also very satisfied, and he was observing the battle in Hedong.

Hedong is like a miniature version of the Great Qi, where all kinds of contradictions are reflected in a concentrated way. Cults, feudal towns, aliens, outcasts, bandits...

If we can clearly see the development of the situation in Hedong, it will certainly be of great benefit to the future. All kinds of spies went back and forth between Bianliang and Hedong, reporting information, and almost every day Chen Shou called his subordinates to study and discuss together.

Another point is that Chen Shou wants to see clearly where the limit of Li Xin's ability is.

He only brought 10,000 people, and what he could save the situation in Hedong to a point made Chen Shou extremely curious.

If there is really a battle in the future, what price will I have to pay to defeat this second uncle.

He didn't naively think that after fighting side by side with Li Xin a few times, he would become a hardcore ally.

This person's concept and ambition are completely different from his own, which means that if he has something out of line, he may kill Bianliang at any time.

Chen Shou has been guarding against Li Xin, otherwise he would not have built fortifications and deployed soldiers and horses in the west and north of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Li Xin's style of play is somewhat similar to that of the alien races outside the Guanwai, he crossed Taiyuan and did not enter, because there were too few soldiers and horses, and he could not divide his troops to defend Taiyuan, so he simply gave up completely building a stronghold in Hedong, and then attacked everywhere. Although this move maximizes the advantages of the cavalry, it is not a cure for the symptoms, if Jiang Chucai cannot be completely destroyed, wouldn't Hedong be even more chaotic? Yuan Xiannian said worriedly, he was different from others, and Hedong was the seat of his clan.

Now that the Yuan family is on the big tree of Chen Shou, slowly eating away at the foundation of the Jiang family through the imperial court, the future is immeasurable, and they don't want to let Hedong chaos at all. Once Hedong was in turmoil, cut off contact with the imperial court, and even completely fell to Mongolia, the Yuan family even had to flee to the Central Plains, abandoning the foundation of their ancestors.

Chen Shou didn't know what Li Xin's idea was, so he sighed and said, "Let's see how he fights this battle." ”
