Chapter Seventy-Two: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

Bao Anxin was quite proud, knowing that Lin Zhenba was dead, and it was his second son Lin Pinghuang who was defending the city. Presumably, this battle will not take long to occupy Jiujiang Port City and point directly at Jianye.

Lin Pinghuang sat paralyzed on the city wall, and the officers of the Jinfan Army were disappointed in him, although they all knew that this second son had no ability, but it was unexpected that he was so cowardly. Ge Suo knew that the Xiakou army of the Western Wei Dynasty was coming, he was not surprised, but came to the Xiakou army formation alone.

Gosso's purpose is very simple, his first goal is East Vietnam, hidden stakes have been planted in various places, and some forces from other countries are also needed to cooperate, if Bao Anxin can cooperate, then pull over, if it can't be won't, then find someone to replace him. At dawn, he appeared in Bao Anxin's tent. When Bao Anxin saw Goso, his first reaction was that this old man should be a lobbyist from Dongyue, he had an advantage at the moment, and there was no need to negotiate. But the old man was able to come to his tent quietly, Bao An was shocked with confidence, and was just about to open his mouth to call out to the surrounding sergeants, but Gothor did not hesitate to wave out a cloud of black qi, wrapping him up, restricting his movements, and said coldly; "General Bao, let's have a brief chat."

Bao Anxin was restrained, he was frightened, he didn't expect the methods of the people to be so weird, he struggled for a while, found that his hands and feet couldn't move, stared at Ge Suo, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "What do you want to talk about?" ”

The corners of Ge Suo's mouth raised slightly: "Let's talk about cooperation, now your army has surrounded Jiujiang Port City, and the army has crossed the shore, I believe that General Bao will be able to occupy Jiujiang Port, but after all, it is still in Dongyue, and all the armies of Dongyue will gather later, and if you want to hold Jiujiang Port again, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

"Of course I know these truths, I have written to Your Majesty that the Western Wei Dynasty will have its own army to come to support, and then the victory or defeat will not be known." Bao Anxin was able to attack, and he must have considered the problems he would face after the occupation.

Ge Suo listened to Bao Anxin's words and continued to say to him: "But General Bao, have you thought about it, at that time, the Western Wei royal family must have sent a famous general of Zeng Tianlin's level, and it was not you who galloped to the east and made great contributions at that time. ”

If the two countries go to war on a large scale, Bao Anxin certainly understands that there will definitely be a general to preside over the war, and he will only be one of the commanders at most. Gosso spoke again: "I can talk about my cooperation, Lin Zhenba was killed by the Dongyue royal family, and the Jinfan Army in Jiujiang Port was led by Lin Pinghuang, I believe his ability You also know that Lin Pinghuang wants to avenge his father and has decided to mutiny, in this way, the purpose of the two sides is actually the same, why not cooperate." ”

Bao Anxin knew that Lin Zhenba was assassinated, and he also heard that there was something strange, but when he heard that Gosuo said that he was killed by the Dongyue royal family, he was still very surprised, Lin Zhenba has been loyal to Dongyue to guard the gate of Jiujiang Port, and the royal family actually destroyed the good general, but Lin Pinghuang decided to mutiny, it seems that this is mostly true. If the goal of the Jinfan Army is also the Dongyue royal family, then the goal at this moment is the same. Bao Anxin was silent for a moment, and Ge Suo knew that he had been moved by his own words, so he dispersed the black qi. Bao Anxin got rid of the shackles of black qi and moved his hands and feet, he was not stupid, and asked Xiang Ge Suo: "You are not from the Jinfan Army, who are you?" ”

"Haha, Bao Anxin, I am not your enemy, but I can help you capture East Vietnam, if you are willing to cooperate, then we can have a good talk." After saying that, Gosso sat down on one side.

Bao Anxin then sat down as well, and he asked, "Since it is cooperation, what kind of conditions can you offer?" ”

Gosoo said slowly: "Cooperation must be a win-win situation, the Xiakou army immediately stopped attacking the city, and the two sides stopped fighting." The Xiakou army marched east along the river, the target was the mouth of the Xu, and the Jinfan army would immediately raise troops, pointing directly at Xuancheng, if the two sides were smooth, after the beginning of spring, they could reach Jianye City, capture Dongyue, and the Western Wei could obtain the Dongyue territory west of Poyang County, and we occupied the east of Poyang Lake. ”

Bao Anxin listened to Goso's cooperation, he felt that this plan was too radical, so he opened his mouth and asked: "If the legions of Poyang County, Yuzhang County, and Linchuan County in Dongyue advance eastward, plus the Cefu of Huiji County goes north, forming a two-sided attack, at that time, it will be a lone army going deep, and it will definitely be defeated, how to deal with it?" ”

Ge Suo didn't care, and said slowly: "We have occupied Wankou, Le'an, Shangrao, and Lincheng, and there are our troops everywhere who will block the eastward advance of the Dongyue Army, and Cefu wants to go north, and there are various tribes in the East Vietnam to block it, so don't worry." ”

Bao Anxin was still a little puzzled, he thought of the Southern Army of Northern Qin Town on the north bank of the Wet Beard Pass, and asked: "If the Southern Army of the North Qin Town is in trouble when our army captures the Wet Beard Mouth, how should this be handled?" ”

"Zhou Xu of the Southern Army of Northern Qin Town don't have to worry, he won't send troops, someone will contain him." Gothor said with great certainty.

After hearing this, Bao Anxin became more and more puzzled about the identity of the old man in front of him, two words appeared in his mind, and he tentatively asked Ge Suo: "Are you from the Jiuli clan?" ”

"General Bao, whether we are from the Jiuli clan or not, the purpose is the same." Goso's words indirectly admit his identity. Bao Anxin hesitated for a while, he had also heard a little about the rumors of the Jiuli clan, and now many places in Dongyue have been occupied, and it seems that he has been planning for a long time. Gosso's cooperation involved the entire East Vietnam, and since the other party had already made some arrangements and the conditions offered were extremely attractive, he made a decision on the spot, but he still had to inform the Western Wei royal family and wait for the royal family to decide before sending troops.

Seeing Bao Anxin hesitating, Ge Suo stood up and dropped a sentence: "General Bao will withdraw if he thinks about it, and the old man will come again." With that, he turned and left, disappearing into the barracks.

After Ge Suo left, Bao Anxin called Liu Yong and simply told him about Ge Suo's intention. Liu Yong was quite excited, and he persuaded Bao Anxin to cooperate with the Jiuli clan, but Bao Anxin was worried that the Western Wei royal family would not want to be with Jiuli. Liu Yong suggested that when writing to Emperor Huan of the Western Wei Dynasty, it was not necessary to state that the other party was the Jiuli clan, but only to state that the Jinfan Army had mutinied, and had been deployed in Dongyue for a long time, and invited the Western Wei to cooperate in sending troops to capture Dongyue and divide the territory after the fact. Bao Anxin thought for a while and felt that it was quite reasonable, and he immediately asked one of his subordinates to rush to Daliang, the capital of the Western Wei State, and personally explained it to the military department and told Emperor Huan. At the same time, the Xiakou army temporarily withdrew a section and was stationed on the spot to prevent the Jinfan army from attacking.

After dawn, the Jinfan Army reported to Lin Pinghuang that the Xiakou Army retreated to camp on the spot, Lin Pinghuang breathed a sigh of relief, he summoned a group of officers, and asked everyone how to deal with it now. The backbone generals of the Jinfan Army have died in the past few days, and they have left, leaving behind those who are basically Lin Pinghuang's fox friends and Jiuli people, and after a brief discussion, these people suggested sticking to the city and waiting for changes. This is almost equivalent to not having any countermeasures, Lin Pinghuang was annoyed, let everyone retreat, and was stuffy in the mansion alone. Ge Suo reappeared, with a cold smile on his face, and said to Lin Pinghuang: "Xia Kou Jun doesn't have to worry, on the contrary, it is our help. Lin Pinghuang listened to Ge Suo's words, and suddenly his spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "What you said is true?" They really didn't come to capture Jiujiang Port, they would really retreat? Seeing Lin Pinghuang like this, Ge Suo was extremely disdainful, but still replied: "Don't worry, you just need to listen to me and keep you safe." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, thank you, Elder." Lin Pinghuang seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and hurriedly walked to Goso's side.

Ge Suo then ordered: "Let the Jinfan Army prepare well, avenge your father, and declare war on the Dongyue royal family in the next few days, and target Xuancheng." ”

Although Lin Pinghuang knew that this was a matter of time, when he heard that war was about to be declared, he was still very flustered, and asked in a trembling voice, "Elder, can we really capture Jianye?" ”

"Dongyue is exhausted, the Jinfan Army under your command is an elite legion, Dongyue City is already in our hands, you don't have to doubt, prepare well." After Gothor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Lin Pinghuang is difficult to ride a tiger, he killed his father with his own hands, and cooperated with Jiuli, he has no way to turn back, he can only trust Goso.

Dongyue, Le'an, Lin Pinghui led the Jinfan army in plain clothes, and set off back to Jiujiang Port, Dong Yun, Ling Hui and Xu Chengsheng and others also followed the army. Halfway through the march, I heard the news that the Xiakou army of the Western Wei Dynasty had crossed the river and had attacked the city of Jiujiang Port. Lin Pinghui was surprised that Xia Koujun Bao Anxin could move so fast, and Jinfan Army actually became so unbearable. He urged the army to speed up the pace and rush to Jiujiang Port.

In the Western Wei Dynasty, the capital, and the Great Liang, Emperor Huan met with the Xiakou army sent by Bao Anxin to join the army, asked in detail about the battle situation in Jiujiang Port, and listened to Bao Anxin's advice. Jin Fan Jun has always been loyal to the royal family of Dongyue, how could there be a sudden change, he was worried about whether it would be a trick of Dongyue, so he summoned a group of important ministers to discuss. After a day of discussion, Emperor Huan finally issued an order, the general Zhong Xu led the Liang Xuanjia army to Xiakou, cooperated with the Xiakou army to capture the mouth of the Xukou, and at the same time defended the Northern Qin to take the opportunity to sneak attack, and the Shangluo Wushu camp went south to defend the Southern Chu, and ordered Bao Anxin to act cautiously, not to go deep alone, and all military matters on the front line were commanded by the general Zhong Xu.

Xiao Zhongqin and Peng Yiwei came to Jiujiang Port first, and as soon as they arrived outside the city, they found that the Xiakou army had crossed the river, but the strange thing was that the Xiakou army did not attack the city, but camped in place. The two sneaked into Jiujiang Port City, and saw that the soldiers in the city were quite busy, as if they were preparing for the march. Xiao Zhongqin and Peng Yiqi split up and tried to find out the news of the mysterious person. But after some inquiry, neither the sergeant nor the common people had ever seen this so-called mysterious person, and the two temporarily hid in the city. That night, Xiao Zhongqin proposed to go to Lin Pinghuang's mansion in the city to investigate, taking advantage of the night, the two quietly came to the vicinity of Lin's mansion, and happened to meet Lin Pinghuang who had just returned from the barracks, and the two immediately decided to capture Lin Pinghuang to personally inquire about the whereabouts of the mysterious person. When Lin Pinghuang entered the Lin Mansion, the two of them immediately walked up quickly, sneaked into the Lin Mansion, came to the study, and quickly stunned the entourage sergeant, and captured Lin Pinghuang, Lin Pinghuang was extremely flustered, and opened his mouth to call someone, Xiao Zhongtan raised his hand to stun him first, and just about to shoot down his palm, a hidden weapon suddenly shot into his palm. Xiao Zhongqin reacted very quickly, flipped his palm, quickly condensed his energy, and slapped down the hidden weapon. At the moment when the hidden weapon landed, Xiao Zhongqin really saw that it was a black nail.
