As an old man who has been up and down for many years, Whitden Xiang has more endurance than ordinary people. He has been famous among the rogues for a long time, but he can be driven and even insulted again and again by the little-known Hou Dagui, for no other reason than to get a chance to reopen the sky in the future.

Hui Dengxiang started in the border army, since Chongzhen raised the fort soldiers in the second year of the incident, year by year, grow year by year, regardless of seniority and soldiers, are worthy of Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other giants to talk and laugh at the same table. It was only because he was careless that he lost all his family wealth and fell to the end of his name now. But the strength is no more, but the spirit is still there, two years ago in Hanzhong, he had to kill his partner Zhou Qingtou Shun Zhao Ying, expecting that Zhao Dangshi respected himself and let him be the humerus The scene did not appear, but showed obvious precautions. Hui Dengxiang, who was used to the stars holding the moon and commanding Fang Yu, could not bear Zhao Ying's cold reception, and during the days from Hanzhong to Huguang, it was not too much to describe his state of mind with a life like a year, and the only thing that supported him to persist was only the four words "comeback".

Good birds choose trees to perch, Hui Dengxiang has never planned to dedicate himself to others, let alone Zhao Dangshi, a rising junior. He longs for self-reliance, but he also recognizes the reality and knows that everything needs to be done step by step, and he must not be in a hurry. Hou Dagui has a perverse and sensitive personality and a desire for power, compared with Xu Hui, who does not enter the oil and salt, and Guo Ruke, who is strong and decent, these shortcomings are excellent conditions for use in the eyes of Hui Dengxiang. Therefore, he painstakingly decided to first climb Hou Dagui to obtain real power in the camp, jump out of the initial shackles, and then use this foundation to slowly develop and expand his own plan. It's a pity that this plan ran aground as he gradually realized Hou Dagui's actual situation in Zhao Ying.

He found that in Zhao Yingzhong, Hou Dagui's position was actually quite embarrassing. I don't know what concerns, Zhao Dangshi has always been very cautious about Hou Dagui's appointment, Hou Dagui can hardly find an opportunity to plump his wings and establish his prestige, and Hui Dengxiang, who is dependent on each other, passes through Hou Dagui, and naturally he can't get enough upward channel.

Hui Dengxiang had to think about the future again. Different from when he was in Hanzhong and Sichuan, after coming to Huguang, the crowd gathered and the power was everywhere, which was an opportunity for Zhao Ying and an opportunity for him to be a good minister. It can be said unceremoniously that at present, nine out of ten of the heads and faces in Huguang and southern Henan are Hui Dengxiang's old acquaintances. Disappointed, Hui Dengxiang naturally moved the idea of changing the court.

Originally, because of the importance of the matter and the confusion of the situation in northern Chu, Hui Dengxiang planned to continue to observe for a while and then act slowly, but he did not expect that Zhang Xianzhong would take the initiative to come to the door when he was most hesitant.

Two days ago, the night of the provisional military meeting, the reason why Prime Minister Whiteng was late was because he received the envoy from Xiying.

The messenger Hui Dengxiang knew Ma Yuanli, the general of Xiying, who was known as "Chief Manager Ma". Ma Yuanli conveyed Zhang Xianzhong's meaning, hoping that Hui Dengxiang could "abandon Zhao Ying and invest in Xiying". As a front-line general in the western camp, Ma Yuanli was not afraid to come on behalf of Zhang Xianzhong, and his words were sincere, and Hui Dengxiang first felt great respect and Zhang Xianzhong's sincerity. Then, Ma Yuanli talked about the days when Zhang Xianzhong and Hui Dengxiang fought side by side in Shanxi in the fifth year of Chongzhen, and strongly stated Zhang Xianzhong's affirmation of Hui Dengxiang's ability and longing, and Hui Dengxiang almost agreed to Ma Yuanli's proposal to take refuge in Xiying on the spot. In fact, even if Zhang Xianzhong did not send someone to lobby, Xiying was also the first choice of Hui Dengxiang's middle and lower families.

The reason is also very simple. First, Zhang Xianzhong has an old relationship with him. Zhang Xianzhong's hometown Liushujian Fort is one of the fourteen battalion forts under the jurisdiction of Yansui Town West Road, and when Hui Dengxiang was a soldier in Yanchang Fort, he had to patrol from Huamachi to Liushujian almost every month, and he met Zhang Xianzhong very early. Not to mention the "eventful years" when the two sides joined forces in Shanxi later. Second, Zhang Xianzhong's strength is second to none in northern Chu. The strength of Xiying has always been the best among the Liukou, not to mention the current Huiying and Cao Ying, even when the old King Chuang was alive, the world was known as King Chuang and the Eight Kings. In terms of prestige, Li Zicheng was not as good as Zhang Xianzhong before inheriting the title of "King Chuang". It is common sense to choose the strong, and Zhang Xianzhong has already accepted Zhao'an, and with a base and an official body, he is more comfortable in advancing and retreating. Third, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhao Dangshi did not agree. Although Zhao Ying was obviously a partner of Xiying to introduce the surrender of the imperial court, Hui Dengxiang saw very early on that Zhao Dangshi and Zhang Xianzhong had actually broken up, and it was difficult for one mountain to accommodate two tigers, and it was inevitable that the relationship between the two camps would break down because of the power competition in northern Chu. Since you want to give up Zhao Ying, the safest thing to do is to join the Xiying who is fighting with Zhao Yingming and secretly.

To sum up, Ma Yuanli is really in the middle of Huiden's affection. However, in addition to being excited, Hui Dengxiang still couldn't help but be a little worried, he turned his back on Zhao Ying and voted for Xiying, and he had no size, so he couldn't help but have no bottom in his heart and an unstable foothold. Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to bring a great contribution to the past to show my sincerity.

There is no other person in this great achievement, it is Hou Dagui.

Through Hou Dagui's long-term careful observation, Hui Dengxiang is very sure that his top boss belongs to Zhao Ying's irresolute elements. Hou Dagui had few confidants in the camp, and Hui Deng met with each other, and soon won Hou Dagui's trust, thus obtaining many secrets unknown to the other party. Huai Cai is not met, he is weak, Hou Dagui's experience is similar to his own, and he is also not a person who is willing to live under others for a long time, Hui Dengxiang is very sure to pry him to Xiying.

As the first general of Zhao Ying, Hou Dagui's usable value is huge, and just turning his back on Zhao Ying must have a great impact on Zhao Ying's military morale and current military arrangement. Such a heavy gift to Xiying is undoubtedly more practical than real money.

This time, Zhao Dangshi's old tricks were repeated, and he instructed Hou Dagui to be a "surprise attack army" and lead part of his troops to the north.

Starting from the camp and entering the remaining veins of Tongbai Mountain to the west to Xiahugou, Hui Dengxiang continued to test Hou Dagui through various means. Including taking the initiative to slaughter the domestic dog of the West Tower Courtyard, trapping the villagers but secretly notifying Bai Wang, etc., are all deliberate tricks by Hui Dengxiang to anger Hou Dagui. Tonight's ending was as he expected, Hou Dagui, who was under too much mental pressure, finally inevitably had a strong rebound, and when the other party's emotions were on the verge of collapse, it was the best time to convince.

Hou Dagui's various rhetorical questions were also within his expectations, and he had already made thorough preparations. When he played the card of Rao Liubo, it can be said that he hit his weakness just right.

At that time, Hou Dagui, who found out that Rao Liubo was sent away, was like a mourner, and went straight to Zhao Dangshi. The two spent the whole afternoon in their tents, and no one knew what they were talking about. But when Hou Dagui came out of the account and asked Hui Dengxiang to arrange military affairs, Hui Dengxiang found that his eyes were red and swollen, and he obviously had a lot of emotions. Because he often accompanies Hou Dagui, Hui Deng, who has heard and witnessed it, knows better than others the importance of Rao Liubo to Hou Dagui.

As a blood-stained warrior, he lives a precarious life every day, and few people still have the energy to think about the love of men and women, and Hui Dengxiang is a typical example. In his eyes, women, like clothes, are flashy and icing on the cake, and the only use may be to pass on the lineage. But he was surprised to find that Hou Dagui, a rough man, was really moved by Rao Liubo, a dusty woman. No matter what method Zhao Dangshi used to suppress Hou Dagui's dissatisfaction, Hui Dengxiang believed that Rao Liubo, a woman, would eventually become an eternal thorn between Hou Dagui and Zhao Dangshi.

"Rule, Zhao Dangshi is ruthless and nepotistic, you will only be buried forever in Zhao Ying. It used to be Xu Hui, and now it's Guo Ruke, I'm afraid that Yang Zhaofeng, Li Yanlang and others will all climb on your head in the future. Hui Dengxiang put his hand on Hou Dagui's shoulder, and his flat voice was mixed with some sadness in the wind, "The eldest husband can afford to take it and put it down, you forget about life and death for Zhao Yingshe, but Zhao Dangshi is a white-eyed wolf, with eyes and no beads." The name of the eight kings moves the world, and everyone expects to return, serving him will definitely make the system show his skills! ”

Hou Dagui squatted on the ground, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and he still didn't say anything after a long time. Hui Dengxiang was a little anxious, and said in a tone: "The eight kings are coming, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as the ruler is lost and knows how to return, and seizes this opportunity, it will be the day to turn over!" ”

In the mountain wind, Hou Dagui stopped moving, and after a while, he slowly stood up, his voice was a little hoarse, and asked: "If I return to the Eight Kings, what do the Eight Kings want me to do?" ”

Whitden was stunned and said, "Did you say that this is the case?" Seeing that Hou Dagui had no denial intentions, he continued, "There are more than 1,000 troops in the West Tower Courtyard, and they must not be blatantly taken to the West Camp." I will, these people will be sent back to the camp. ”

"Send it back to the camp?"

"Exactly. The eight kings have an appointment with Lao Huihui and Cao Cao, and join hands to destroy the madman Zhao Dangshi, and the control is interspersed with the rear by Zhao Dangshi's order, the original intention is to intercept and kill Ma Guangchun, let's do the opposite, set up a bureau to give all 1,000 people to Ma Guangchun, and borrow the hands of the battalion to remove this big trouble. In this way, it will be of great help to both Huiying and Xiying. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had seen the scene of himself taking Hou Dagui to Xiying and being praised by Zhang Xianzhong in public.

Hou Dagui sighed "hmm" and didn't speak again. Hui Dengxiang said: "However, to do this, Bai Wang and Li Yanlang are two stumbling blocks and have to be prepared. These two people are loyal to Zhao Dangshi, and it must be difficult to move, so in the past two days, they have to find a way to get rid of them. He smiled again, "But as long as the control is made, Bai and Li are just turtles in the urn." ”

"Hmm......" Hou Dagui responded, and his mood seemed very low.

Hui Dengxiang took a step closer and said: "Commander, the great future only needs you to nod, everything is in the hands of you and me!" He was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and Hou Dagui's overthinking would lead to a wavering heart, so his heart was horizontal, his tone was urgent, and he decided to break the kettle and force Hou Dagui to comply.

Hou Dagui still looked very hesitant, under the moonlight, his lips and teeth were trembling slightly, and although his throat occasionally turned, he couldn't say anything.

"Domination!" Hui Dengxiang tried his best to speak, waiting for Hou Dagui's indecisive scene, he couldn't help but be angry, but under a roar, he heard a few "clicks" on the side of the slope, as if someone stepped on a broken branch, and immediately his body was shaken, and he drew a knife and chased after him.

In the dark night, Hui Dengxiang picked up the dense artemisia grass on the side of the slope, but there was no human figure, but with the dim moon, he could see the weeds and many broken branches that were crushed and lodging on the inside, and Hou Dagui trotted over and asked, "Is there anyone?" ”

Wheden's heart jumped, and he said with a little hesitation: "Yes...... Look at this deed, it should be a human ......"

Hou Dagui was silent, just sighed. After Hui Dengxiang was frightened, he calmed down and said sharply: "No, we have to go back to the West Tower Courtyard quickly, and strike first!" Anyway, regardless of Hou Dagui's surprise, he jumped straight down the hill.
