The night was dark, and the northwest wind carried sand.

Tang Hong led four hundred people to rush out of the west gate and ran away, raising sand and dust from the soles of his shoes.

The sand in the wind was thicker.

On the watchtower in Xicheng, Chen Mu held the railing with both hands, his expression was solemn and his mood was complicated.

Suddenly, he sat down in a chair, supported his forehead with one hand, and fell into deep thought.

Repeatedly recalling Tang Hong's last sentence makes people shudder.

suddenly felt that Tang Hong was too vicious.

"Ten days ago, if I killed Kong Xiaoxian, Tang Hong would not protect me, but would fall into the well." Chen Mu muttered to himself with a solemn expression.

Zhang Han didn't hear what Chen Mu said, and asked in a low voice: "Chen Du, why are you uncomfortable?" ”

Chen Mu waved his hand: "Wait for the lame man to come back, bring him to see me." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Han went downstairs and waited at the door of the watchtower.

At this time, Chen Mu wanted to be quiet and carefully analyze his situation.

Now he is most concerned not about the enemy's counterattack, but about the situation inside the Liang army.

Tang Hong sent everyone in the Seventh Regiment out by authority, including Dian Xiaozhong, Li Tonghai, and Kuang Fusheng. In other words, there are no Confucian people in the city now. This trick can be called a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle. Once Kong Xiaodong and Kong Xiaoxian brothers leave the city, whether they can come back or not depends on Tang Hong alone.

On the other hand, on Tang Hong's side, he not only kept Chen Mu, but also left Li Xiu, the brigade staff general, and Sun Tingyu, the captain of the left guard of the school captain.

Staff General Li Xiu does not know qigong, he is also considered half a civilian, and it is understandable that he will not be sent out to fight.

However, why do you still want to keep Sun Tingyu, who has a fourth-grade combat power?

Just now the lame man said to Chen Mu that Sun Tingyu ran to the north city wall. Perhaps he also received: "If the enemy counterattacks, prepare a hanging basket for me." Nothing else cares. ".

In other words, Tang Hong may not run to the West City Gate.

If that was the case, the plan in Chen Mu's heart would be in vain. Because Chen Mu calculated an incident just now, if this incident happened, it would be a chance for Chen Mu to soar.

He didn't want to save Tang Hong, but wanted to save Kong Xiaoxian.

Why Kong Xiaoxian, not Tang Hong's?

This is a more complex multiple-choice question.

Although Tang Hong is the son of the second master of the gate valve, he is a concubine, and there is no support on the maternal side, and his own combat power is only under the sixth grade, and he seems to have a bit of an empty foundation.

And Tang Hong is narrow-minded, there are more conspiracies than conspiracies, this kind of person is very scary, by his side, you don't know when you will become the tail of a lizard.

On the other hand, Kong Xiaoxian, although sometimes he likes to say some sensual things, he is much more frank than Tang Hong. may be that his mind is slightly inferior to Tang Hong, but a person's success may not depend entirely on himself. It's like Liu Bei is not as smart as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and he is not as good as Guan Zhang, Zhao Ma and Huang can fight, but as long as Liu Bei uses these people well, he can have one of the three parts of the world. The list goes on.

In addition, Kong Xiaoxian's background cannot be underestimated.

Although Kong Xiaodong is Kong Xiaoxian's cousin, among the Tang family valves, Kong Xiaodong's relationship is far inferior to Kong Xiaoxian.

This involves a complex network of relatives of the Tang Gate.

Now the patriarch of the Tang clan is the great Sima Tang Qiong. At that time, Tang Qiong was able to obtain the position of patriarch, which was directly related to a family, that is, the Kong family with double nine grades. The Kong family was originally the commander of the Tang family, which was not very conspicuous, but in Kong Tuo's generation, two genius teenagers suddenly appeared. One is Kong Tuo, and the other is Kong Tuo's brother Kong Quan.

At that time, Tang Qiong competed for the position of patriarch, and the struggle was very fierce, and the gate lord chose the patriarch, first of all, the support of the military community should be considered. There were fifteen divisions of the Shence Army, and Tang Qiong could only control four of them at that time, his main competitor was the current Tang Clan's second master Tang Ning, the Tang Ning faction had six divisions, and the other competitor was Tang Xian, the third son of the gate valve at that time, he had an ambiguous attitude, holding three divisions in his hands, and did not express his position.

In this situation, the final decision of the patriarch of the Tang clan gate valve fell into the hands of the Kong family, who now controlled the two divisions. And Kong Quan and Kong Tuo are the lieutenant generals of the Fifth Division and the Twelfth Division.

Tang Qiong immediately made a decision, abolished the wife of the main room, married Kong Quan's sister as his wife, and established it as the main room, when Kong Quan's sister was only fourteen years old.

That's not all, Tang Qiong married his two younger sisters to Kong Quan and Kong Tuo, and their relationship became close to each other.

In this way, the two generals of the Kong family became Tang Qiong's people.

The two most capable divisions of the Shence Army supported Tang Qiong, making Tang Qiong sit firmly in the position of the patriarch of the Tang clan.

And Kong Xiaoxian is Kong Quan's son.

Although Kong Quan died in battle, Kong Tuo is still there, with Kong Tuo's status in the Tang family, and with the two-layer relationship between Kong Xiaoxian and the patriarch Tang Qiong, Kong Xiaoxian's family status is definitely not worse than Tang Hong. Moreover, Tang Hong is actually the opposing faction of the patriarch Tang Qiong.

On the other hand, Kong Xiaoxian is not only Tang Qiong's nephew, but also Tang Qiong's wife and nephew. The relationship is quite hard, second only to the son of the gate valve. Moreover, Kong Xiaoxian knew that he was not qualified to compete for the patriarch, so he was also developing a new relationship, it is said that he had a good relationship with Tang Zhen, the son of the Tang clan's gate valve, and Tang Zhen was not only a descendant, but also an eight-rank general, although he was young, he was the son of the Tang clan and the hottest candidate for the heir of the Tang clan.

In other words, now Kong Xiao is the Gongzi Tang Zhen faction.

The older generation is in its last years, and the future is a world for young people.

After many trade-offs, Chen Mu felt that Kong Xiaoxian was superior in both character and backstage.

In addition, Chen Mu was originally a member of the Seventh Regiment, and if he participated in the action to kill Kong Xiaoxian, the commander of the Seventh Regiment, he would be called disloyal. The crowd is full of gold, and the words of the people are terrifying, Chen Mu can't help but consider the pressure of public opinion.

Originally, Chen Mu planned to do it with Tang Hong, but Tang Hong's viciousness made Chen Mu recalculate the future.

No one wants to be in the company of poisonous snakes, especially since this snake is the top boss who can kill people at any time.

"Cao Mengde has a good saying, I'd rather bear others than others."

Muttering to himself, Chen Mu heard footsteps and turned to see the cripple.

"Chen Du, listen to Zhang Han, are you looking for me?"

"Well, sit down."

Cripple and Zhang Han sit down.

Chen Mu said: "I have a plan, it's very risky, but if it succeeds, the three of you and I will soar just around the corner." How, would you like to do it? ”

"I do!" Zhang Cripple agreed without thinking about it.

Zhang Han glanced at Zhang Cripple, and hurriedly raised his hand as if he was afraid of being left behind: "I am also willing." ”

Chen Mu smiled, then straightened his face and said solemnly: "Based on my understanding of Alando, I make a judgment. At this time, even if Wuwei's Hun Dadan was defeated, and Alandor really wanted to withdraw his troops, he would not withdraw his troops honestly. He will surely set up an ambush; On the contrary, if Wuwei's side has not yet decided the winner, then Alando's action is completely to seduce Liang Jun out of the city. In other words, Tang Hong and the others will definitely be counterattacked when they go out this time. Tang Hong can't beat them, he will inevitably run back, and this is when we start. But there is one biggest variable here, I don't know if Tang Hong can come to the West Gate or the North Gate. If he runs to the north gate, my plan will fail. If he comes to Simon, there is hope that my plan will be realized. ”

"Tell me, what do you need us to do!" Zhang's eyes lit up.

Chen Mu whispered: "Kong Xiaoxian said that if Tang Hong dares to go out, he will carry the flag for Tang Hong." I don't think Kong Xiaoxian is a fool. If he encounters a situation, I am sure he will escape. If Kong Xiaoxian and Tang Hong run back together. I decided to save Kong Xiaoxian. ”

"Save Captain Kongdu?" Zhang Han suddenly came to his senses, and he couldn't help crying: "Chen Du, you worship Guan Erye as much as I do, I know that you are not the kind of person who is treacherous." At the critical moment, you still choose Captain Kongdu, then I will understand everything. You got close to Captain Tang before, but it was just a joke. In fact, your heart has been in the Seven Regiments! ”

After that, Zhang Han cried loudly.

Chen Mu's face was indifferent, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart. When did you worship the second master? There is respect, but worship is not enough.

These words were all said by Zhang Han himself, he set up a situation for himself, and he jumped into it and couldn't extricate himself. It was as if I had drunk poisonous chicken soup, and I drank it with relish and took it as a divine decree.

Zhang Han's performance was completely unexpected by Chen Mu, but it was also reasonable.

For Chen Mu, this is a windfall.
