The choice of words and sentences in people's words often reveals a lot of information. For example, today's Chen Shijie, who calls himself from the original "official" to today's "old decay", shows that in his heart, he has been moved by the words of the comer.

The next question is to see whether the so-called "winning chips" in this person's mouth have enough heavy weight!

"I came in a hurry and forgot to introduce myself. Under the surname, a single name is a blue character; Given by the grace teacher Yang Linggong, the word list is Yin Mountain. God bless Enke for forty years, and he was fortunate to be in high school; After three years of further study in Tai College, he was sent to the Ministry of Rites by Cai Youxiang as an official, and he did a small job. Last year, after taking a big step, Emperor Tianyou took a fancy to him and served as the governor of Bashu Road; Now, under the recommendation of Zhu Yuntao, the governor of Bashu Dao, he has devoted himself to the account of the King of Qin, and is fully responsible for the size of the Qin army on the third road! ”

After Chen Shijie listened, he stared at Xiang Qing, who was talking with two eyes wide and a dull expression, and couldn't say a word for a long time; After Xiang Qing finished speaking, he waited for a while, and saw that the other party was still the sluggish appearance of thunder and lightning, so he had to reach out and untie his Beiyan official seal from his waist and gently push it to Chen Shijie's hand:

"At present, the two armies are facing each other, and as the chief general of the Qin army, he went to the enemy position alone and met with Lord Chen, which is enough to show the sincerity of our Qin army; As for the authenticity of someone's identity...... Since Lord Chen is a minister in the same hall as Zaixia, he should know this thing, and the authenticity will be known as soon as it is verified! ”

After Xiang Qing finished speaking, Chen Shijie paused for a long time, and then retracted the right hand that had just been stretched out:

"Xiaguan...... The grass people will bring the Luojing officials and the people, eat pot pulp, and welcome the king into the city! ”

Two days later, the vanguard battalion of the Third Route Qin Army had arrived thirty miles east of Luojing City; And Cai Ning, who had been fighting with tens of thousands of chaotic troops under Chen Ziling for several days, finally ushered in a rare leisure today.

In the past few days, Chen Ziling scattered all the soldiers of the Qin army under his command, and also slaughtered and plundered the entire villages, towns, counties and townships west of Huaiqing Mansion; Although Cai Ning has 20,000 elite soldiers, he must leave half of his troops to defend the city; In case Chen Ziling played a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain and take advantage of the weakness to attack Huaiqing Mansion.

However, these 10,000 elite soldiers dispersed, which was a drop in the bucket for the nearly 100,000 Qin army rebels; Not only did not save many Zhongzhou villagers, but more than 800 people were lost on the first day! If it weren't for Cai Ning's remediation, the 100-man squad would be reorganized and reorganized into a 500-man squadron; I'm afraid that the brothers who died at the hands of the Qin army bandits will have to turn over a few more heels!

Early this morning, Cai Ning reorganized his armament and horses, and waited in the school field as usual for the sentry cavalry to return to the specific movements of the Qin army's chaotic troops; However, when the sentry rode back to the city, he brought him rather strange news.

Today, Chen Ziling gathered the whole army in one place, and neither moved to Huaiqing Mansion, nor did he release any of the chaotic troops to plunder the place.

Just when Cai Ning was puzzled, Chiwu's spies suddenly came to report, saying that in the early hours of this morning, the third reinforcement of the Qin army pulled out the camp and set up the village; According to the distance and speed, it should have arrived at the city of Luojing now, and the big war is about to break out!

With this timely news reference, Chen Ziling's strategic intentions became clear.

If the Luojing war is tight and the Qin army can't attack it for a long time; Then Chen Ziling could only lead the crowd to forcibly attack the city, at least to drag himself, a temporarily "useless person", to death in Huaiqing Mansion.

Huaiqing Mansion is only separated from Luojing by a Yu River; Although the army could not cross safely, if Cai Ning was alone, there would be no problem if he wanted to cross the Yu River. If Chen Ziling still rebelled and besieged Huaiqing Mansion without attacking; Then the officers and men of the two armies continued to hide and hide, and there was no more than him Cai Ning, and there were no less than him Cai Ning.

On the other hand, Luojing, the capital of God, now has only one old civil official, Chen Shijie, in charge; Chen Ziling did not know what this person's ability was in terms of people's livelihood and economy; But he is an orthodox civilian official, and he must be a pure layman when it comes to military affairs!

Although Xiang Qing relied on the power of the instrument to defeat a Sanmen Bay; However, compared with Cai Ning, the governor of Zhongzhou Road, and Fei Yu, the defender of Sanmen Bay, there is a world of difference.

Although Cai Ning is known as the eldest prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also relied on a patchwork of miscellaneous sailors, plus dozens of broken ships that could not be put on the table, and stopped the invincible Nankang Dynasty in water battles south of the Huajiang River. He fought a lifetime of poor battles, and now he is given a capital-level city defense facility, sufficient young and strong resources for the population, and enough food, grass and ordnance reserves to last for a hundred days......

To tell the truth, Chen Ziling thinks that Xiang Qing, who is also a literati, will fight against General Cai, and there will only be one result: the annihilation of the whole army!

Therefore, Chen Ziling could only gather the army and make the appearance that he could attack the city at any time, so that Cai Ning did not dare to rashly go out of the city to cross the river and participate in the defensive battle of Luojing.

For Chen Ziling, the best result of this battle was that Luo Jing was about to collapse at the first touch; The annihilation of the defenders or the flight to the north were acceptable outcomes. As long as you don't hurt your muscles and bones and take the Shendu Luojing, it will also usher in a huge turning point for the frontal battlefield of Zhongzhou Road.

Once Luojing falls, then Cai Ning, who is guarding Huaiqing Mansion and choking the neck of the Qin army, will not lead the army to retreat as soon as possible; Then, after conquering Luojing's third reinforcements and crossing the Yu River from Bishui Pass, the Qin army will also complete the siege of Huaiqing Mansion on all sides.

At all times, whether it is the 20,000 Zhongzhou soldiers or Cai Dagongzi himself, they will be wrapped in dumplings together, and it is impossible to escape.

So today's Chen Ziling is not in a hurry at all. After a few days of wanton looting, the Qin army, which was originally alone, could be regarded as having collected some food. In the current situation, he has the confidence to continue.

As long as Cai Ning sits back and watches Luo Jing's urgency, then he will never easily attack Huaiqing Mansion; If the battle of Luojing is deadlocked, and Cai Ning also has the intention of leaving Huaiqing Mansion, then he will start a strong attack on Huaiqing Mansion; If Luo Jing was about to collapse at the first touch, and Cai Ning led his army to flee north, then he would immediately rush forward and bite Cai Ning who fled in panic!

This mouthful of bloody thigh meat, Cai Ning he must give!

What Chen Ziling can think of, Cai Ning naturally will not be ignorant. He originally thought that after Wang Kenong of Bingzhou City took a salary and pulled out Chen Ziling's secret chess in Woniu City, the 100,000 Qin army would be completely forced to a dead end; But I never expected that Zhou Changfeng, who has always been timid, would so decisively gamble on his last bit of belongings, and the speed of driving and the defection of Hangu Pass were far beyond Cai Ning's expectations.

Now it looks like I've been pushed to the edge of a cliff.

From the perspective of the art of war, he should immediately abandon the small city of Huaiqing Mansion and transfer the large army to the only large city - Jizhou Shimen City; And he personally led a small group of elite soldiers, lurking on the other side of the Bishui Pass, waiting for the opportunity to suddenly kill the opponent when he was halfway crossing, gambling with his life to gamble the only hope, and sinking the enemy's trump card, the ordnance of the Tianji Workshop, into the surging Yu River.

But once Huaiqing Mansion is lost, the entire north of Zhongzhou and south of Jizhou will have no danger to defend; The Sanjin, Zhongzhou, and even half of Jizhou, which had already been swallowed by the Qin army, would all fall into the belly of Zhou Changfeng. Not to mention "small things" such as the destruction of lives and the suffering of all peoples; Just say that the Tianyou army that is firmly rooted in the city of Sanjin and Zhou will also fall into a desperate situation of being isolated and trapped in a dangerous city.

In fact, the reason why Cai Ning was so hesitant was only because at this moment, he didn't know that the leader of the Third Route Qin Army was Xiang Qing, a traitor to Northern Yan. Otherwise, all problems will not be a problem.

Because Xiang Qing was originally the governor of Bashu Road, he was a grain of sand that Emperor Zhou Yuanqing of God blessed. Now Xiang Qing has become Zhou Changfeng's guest of the scene, and he even led the Third Route Qin Army to attack Beiyan, and his position is self-evident.

Zhu Yuntao, who held 150,000 Bashu troops but had been standing still, finally captured the fighter he wanted at the most critical moment and made the final choice.

For a whole morning, Cai Ning tensed his nerves, waiting for Chiwu's spies to bring back the detailed battle situation of Luojing for him; As soon as the situation in Luo Jing was unfavorable, he would immediately start arranging the withdrawal of his troops.

And Chen Ziling, who had just landed on a boulder in his heart, was lying in the soft hay pile, chewing the braised meat that his subordinates respected, waiting for Xiang Qing to send someone to Luojing after the first temptation.

It wasn't until dusk that both sides got the exact news of the Luojing battlefield almost simultaneously.

At noon today, Chen Shijie, the prefect of Luojing, with civil and military officials, gentry and ordinary people, went out of the city to welcome the Qin army into the city to change defenses. When the main force of the Qin army entered the city from the east gate of Luojing, Luojing City had already purified the water and splashed the streets, and the loess mat road, and the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce collectively funded a banquet on the street to comfort the soldiers of the Qin army......

Luojing, the capital of Zhongzhou Road and the thousand-year-old ancient capital, has not been fired or seen for a while, and it has fallen.

After Cai Ning listened, his body shook instantly; Immediately, he tightly held a Cai Zijiang flag beside him with both hands, opened his mouth and spurted out a puddle of blood, and then clenched his teeth and lay on the ground, unconscious.

And after Chen Ziling heard the news, he couldn't believe that this could be true!

What is Shendu Luojing? Who is Chen Shijie, the prefect of Luojing? Among all the foreign officials of the Northern Yan Dynasty, among the top three most loyal to Zhou Yuanqing, they should also have the name of Luojing Chen Shijie! Moreover, this person has been an official for 30 years, and has always been famous all over the world for his integrity, integrity and integrity; To this day, his ten Wanmin umbrellas and five hundred blessing clothes are still in the auditorium of the Yamen of the Yanjing Ministry for future generations to worship!

Such a person has fallen like this, and it has fallen so completely! Could it be that Xiang Qing of Bashu Dao promised the position of King of Qin to Chen Shijie?
